Chapter 2: Rebirth

The black and white mansion is full of bluestone slabs and vermilion columns. The carved railing is carved with an intricate begonia pattern.

It had just rained overnight, and the raindrops rolled off the plantain leaves and fell into the soil on the ground.

The purple gold incense burner on the table is made in the shape of a delicate little beast. The incense that comes out is a faint scent of water and wood, and it smells very refreshing on an early autumn day.

There are tasseled sachets hanging in the four corners of the bed, the color is bright, and a slightly chubby but cute-looking maid is wiping her tears.

"Hasn't the girl woken up yet?" Hearing this, the maid on the side raised her head, only to see a short and fat grandmother who opened the curtain and came in, with a kind face.

Hearing this, the maid cried even more sadly, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't picked up the girl to fly a kite, I'm afraid there wouldn't have happened, the girl is not awake, how can this be good,"

As soon as the voice fell, a faint voice could be heard from the person on the bed.

"The girl is awake!" The maid next to the bed screamed in surprise. The old lady also hurried to the bedside.

But seeing that the girl on the bed rubbed her forehead and wanted to sit up, the maid hurriedly helped the girl up.

"Green Bamboo ......," the girl muttered.

"The slave is here," the tears on the maid's face were not yet dry. "It's all to blame on the slave maid, the girl obviously doesn't want to play, the slave and the maid have to pull the girl to fly a kite, the slave and the maid should die."

The grandmother next to her glared at her. knew that she was simple-minded and had no bad intentions, and she was not to blame for this, so she didn't say anything after all.

Putting his eyes on the girl, he said with concern, "The girl is better, but her head still hurts?" ”

Ji Jin looked at the two people in front of him with some confusion.

She has four first-class maids, because the girl is quite famous, so the four maids around her are named after "Meilan Bamboo Chrysanthemum".

Among them, Hanmei and Mo Lan were the most cautious, and they also accompanied her to the end, and they were still by her side when she died.

Xi Ju, the most loyal, was killed by the traitor in order to save her in the rebellion of the King of Chu by wearing her clothes.

And Luzhu was the most innocent and lively, and when she was still Concubine Jin, she died in the battle with Concubine Gong. She has always felt guilty for the death of Xiju and Luzhu. Every time she dreams back at midnight, she asks herself, is it worth it, is it really worth sacrificing so much for the sake of being in a high position.

And Mama Li is her own nursing mother, her father and mother have spoiled her since she was a child, and she is even more selective about her nursing mother, and she is kind and loyal to her. In his previous life, he also entered the palace with himself, and accompanied himself from a concubine to a successor, and then to the queen mother. I don't know how many things I've done for myself.

In the end, Concubine Gong arrested her son, she didn't want to betray herself, she asked to leave the palace, and died of depression in less than half a year.

Now Luzhu is standing in front of her, her eyebrows are still beautiful and picturesque, and Mama Li is looking at her with a smile, she is still in her prime. made Ji Jin in a trance.

After a moment, she smiled bitterly and said, "This hallucination before death is too real. ”

"What are you talking about?" Mama Li reached out and touched Ji Jin's forehead, "Isn't it burned?" ”

The hand on the forehead is cold, comfortable and real. She slowly lowered her head and looked at her hand.

It was a pair of white and delicate hands, the nails were neatly trimmed, and they were round and lovely.

This is not her hand, although she is the queen mother, but birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, no matter how she maintains it, she will inevitably grow old. How can it be so white and tender?

"Bring me a mirror," although he was still weak, but there was a strength in his tone that could not be refused.

Lu Zhu and Mama Li looked at each other, and finally took the bronze mirror to Ji Jin.

In the bronze mirror, the fine black long hair, draped on the shoulders, shows a different style, the white skin is like a freshly peeled egg, the big eyes flash as if they can speak, the small red lips and the white of the skin are more distinct, a pair of small dimples are evenly distributed on both sides of the cheeks, a shallow smile, the dimples loom on the cheeks, cute as a fairy. He looked a little haggard due to illness, but he couldn't hide the beauty of his appearance. It's just that there is no brilliance in his eyes, and he looks a little wooden, which will only make people sigh and sigh that it is a pity for this appearance.

She froze and pinched herself hard, hiss, it hurt.

"I'm back......" Ji Jin muttered.

Ji Jin grabbed the green bamboo, "How many years is it now?" ”

Lu Zhu was a little scared, but he still replied honestly: "The Great Zhou is 224 years." What's wrong with the girl, do you feel unwell? ”

"The Great Zhou 224 years... Great Zhou 224..."

That was two years before she was specially ordered to enter the palace at the Hundred Flowers Banquet?

She has been reading poetry and books since she was a child, but she was deliberately misled by the so-called friends around her to hide her edge and be calm, which is what everyone does, so she seems to be incompetent. Since childhood, he has not been in good health, and he likes to be quiet by nature, and he doesn't like to move, but he is a general, which is really contradictory.

And this time, it was Luzhu who saw that he was reading in the yard all day long, and he didn't like to move around, so he thought that the doctor warned him to move more, so he dragged himself to fly a kite, but he didn't expect to meet Du Ruoxi.

Du Ruoxi's mother, Bai, is the niece of Mrs. Ji, who came to join the Ji family because she was middle-aged and widowed. Seek a good future for yourself and your daughter.

It's understandable to want to have a good future, but this Bai family hit his father with his idea, but his father treats his mother deeply, and his mother is not a vegetarian, so he has never succeeded.

And this Du Ruoxi, under the education of the Bai family, is even more high-minded, pretentious, but does not have a good background, looking at himself as a general's daughter, he is jealous. Secretly, I didn't stumble on myself. He pretended to be cautious and cowardly.

When the emperor forced himself to enter the palace, Du Ruoxi saw that he could enter the palace, and he tried his best to promote it. Let out his infatuation with King Qi, and for a while, rumors spread in the capital, and even if he didn't enter the palace, no one dared to come to the door.

She told her father and mother that she was willing to enter the palace to accompany her in order for Ji Jin to enter the palace, which moved her father and mother very much, recognized her as a righteous daughter, and begged the emperor to let her enter the palace as a nobleman.

Who knows how easy it is to stay in that palace, she is pretentious, takes off the disguise of cowardice in the past, and competes to be the first to emerge everywhere, but she is quite capable.

Even...... also plotted that he had a miscarriage, and the doctor said that it was a seven-month-old female doll. Since then, he has been unable to have children, and he has only had a son, Zhou Sheng. This is the pain of my life.

Ji Jin's eyes sank, and the corners of his mouth sneered, I'm back, you guys, are you ready.

Besides, this time, Du Ruoxi saw that she was flying a kite in the garden, she was full of bad courage, and she pretended to fall when they were busy picking up kites in Luzhu, and she pushed herself to the rockery very 'accidentally', and she was young and didn't have much strength. I just knocked my head down, otherwise, I'm afraid my life will be gone.

Thinking of this, his eyes became sharp. The green bamboo around me was so scared that I was about to cry, didn't the girl annoy me.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the girl who was cleaning the yard outside running in, "Girl, Miss Du has come to see you." ”
