Chapter 44 Once upon a time

Early the next morning, Concubine Zheng woke up early, so she shouted outside the door: "Xiaojun? ā€

". Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" A palace maid gently pushed open the door and walked in, it was the woman who was almost dragged away by Huang Gonggong yesterday.

"What time is it?" Concubine Zheng asked while lying on the bed.

"It's just past midday." Jun replied in a whisper.

"I've got to get up, bring me the toiletry and comb my hair." Concubine Zheng said and lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.

Xiaojun asked suspiciously: "Niangniang, it's still early, why don't you sleep for a while?" ā€

"Yesterday, we knocked over Liu Guifei's rouge, we have to pay for it, go ahead, I want to wash and change clothes." Concubine Zheng said, already put on her shoes, opened the bead curtain and walked out.

Seeing that Concubine Zheng was so persistent, Xiao Jun had to obey the order.

Concubine Zheng sat in front of the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, the Xu Xu Qingsi of the year has grown gorgeous hair today, and the skin that used to be blown and broken is now left with the vicissitudes of life.

The years are urging people to grow old, and the palace gate has changed. Lying on the side of the couch, the heart of the king is no more.

Concubine Zheng often thinks of the days Shi Hu spent in the Evergreen Palace, although she didn't come many times, but as a harem woman, it was undoubtedly the happiest time in her life, at least she thought so.

She couldn't remember how many nights she had spent alone in the bed where she had spent Spring Festival with Shi Hu. I can't remember how many times I've watched the sun rise and moon set in front of the window alone.

She only knew that His Majesty's heart would never come back.

"Mother, the toiletry water is here."

Xiaojun's words interrupted Concubine Zheng's thoughts, and she took a deep breath, trying to suppress the obsession with that memory in her heart to the most corner of her heart.

"Didn't Niangniang sleep well yesterday?" Xiao Jun asked while helping Concubine Zheng comb her hair, while looking at Concubine Zheng's somewhat haggard face.

Concubine Zheng showed a wry smile on her face, and said slowly: "It's okay, I'm used to it, what about Xiaoya?" Why don't you see her? ā€

"Sister Xiaoya is preparing for Niangniang to make breakfast." Jun replied in a whisper.

Concubine Zheng didn't speak, all the turmoil in her heart had been buried in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, and over the years, nothing could bring her back to her original joy, except for the days when her son came to see her every month.

"How many days do Jian'er have to enter the palace?" Concubine Zheng suddenly asked.

"Back to Niangniang, the first day of the new year is the day when His Royal Highness King Ning enters the palace, and the day after tomorrow."

"It's been a few days, I'll come back from Huilan Palace in a while, you go and prepare something, I have to make him something to eat."

"Yes......" Jun replied in a low voice.

After Concubine Zheng freshened up and changed her clothes, she ate something, then walked out of the Evergreen Palace and walked towards the Huilan Palace.

Concubine Zheng was not very convenient to walk because she twisted her foot yesterday, and she was supported by Xiaojun and Xiaoya all the way. At this time, Yecheng was a genius.

After walking for a while, the three of them arrived at the gate of Huilan Palace.

"Xiaoya, you go knock on the door." Concubine Zheng commanded.

"Yes......" Xiaoya nodded, walked to the door, and knocked gently.

"Who?" A voice came from inside the door, and after a while, the door of Huilan Palace opened, and a head poked out of it, looked at Xiao Ya, and asked, "Which palace are you in?" Why did you come to Huilan Palace to knock on the door so early? ā€

"This sister, please inform the concubine Niangniang, and say that Concubine Zheng Niangniang wants to see her." Xiaoya politely explained the reason to the palace maid.

The palace maid looked behind Xiao Ya, Concubine Zheng was really outside, and then said impatiently: "Wait, I'll report!" ā€

After speaking, he closed the door again with a "bang".

Xiao Ya returned to Concubine Zheng's side stupidly, helped Concubine Zheng, and said, "Niangniang, why do the people in this Huilan Palace have such an attitude?" ā€

Concubine Zheng replied calmly: "Forget it, don't worry about these things, let's just wait patiently." ā€

After a while, the door of Huilan Palace was opened again, and Concubine Zheng and Xiaojun Xiaoya saw the door open and walked forward. At this time, Liu Guifei's personal maid Xiaoxiang walked out of it and said to Concubine Zheng and the others: "Concubine Zheng, I'm really sorry, my mother is used to getting up late, so you can wait patiently here for a while." ā€

After speaking, he turned around and was about to go inside, when Xiaojun stepped forward and asked, "Sister Xiaoxiang, when will the concubine get up?" ā€

Xiaoxiang heard Xiaojun ask her such a question, and scolded: "You give a dead girl who doesn't understand the rules, do you need to tell you when the concubine Niangniang will get up?" Get out of the way. ā€

Xiaojun was taken aback by Xiaoxiang's sudden scolding, but she couldn't reply, so she could only endure it and silently returned to Concubine Zheng's side.

Xiaojun and Xiaoya looked at Concubine Zheng, Concubine Zheng still looked calm, the two looked at each other, didn't say anything, and quietly helped Concubine Zheng to stand outside the Huilan Palace.

It was a cold winter moon, and the north wind was blowing across the faces of the three people, although the three of them were wrapped in coats, but the three weak women stood in the cold wind, and they could only shiver from the cold.

Xiaojun and Xiaoya stood on either side of Concubine Zheng, close to her, hoping that the three of them would be warmer by leaning together like this.

It began to snow again, Xiao Jun shivered from the cold, and stammered to Concubine Zheng with his teeth: "Niangniang, ...... again Snow...... Now, or we're ...... Let's go back first, shall we? ā€

Concubine Zheng's lips were also a little purple from the cold, but she still said calmly: "I've been waiting for so long, let's wait, let's stand in the corner of the door, where we can block the wind." ā€

"Hmm!" Xiaojun and Xiaoya spoke in unison, and the two of them supported Concubine Zheng and squeezed together in the corner outside the Huilan Palace.

I don't know how long it took, the door of Huilan Palace finally opened, and it was the palace maid who opened the door before, she walked outside and saw that Concubine Zheng and the others were not there, so she was ready to go back, just turned her head, and saw Concubine Zheng and the three of them crowded together in the corner, she was startled, and said: "Standing here is going to scare people to death!" ā€

"Sister, is the concubine up?" Jun asked tremblingly.

The palace maid glanced at her and said, "Niangniang has just gotten up, you can come in with me." ā€

After speaking, he turned his head and walked into the Huilan Palace.

Xiao Jun and Xiao Ya hurriedly supported Concubine Zheng to follow behind. The three of them followed the palace maid to the front hall of Huilan Palace, and as soon as they entered the room, they immediately felt a lot warmer, Xiaojun and Xiaoya hurriedly helped Concubine Zheng pat the snowflakes off her body, and then stood next to her and rubbed her hands.

At this time, Xiaoxiang walked out, saw Xiaojun and Xiaoya stomping their feet, rubbing their hands, and scolded angrily: "You two dead girls, can you understand some rules in Huilan Palace?" Standing or not, is it usually so presumptuous in the Evergreen Palace? ā€

Xiao Jun and Xiao Ya were scolded by Xiao Xiang and immediately stood there and didn't dare to move, not daring to look directly at Xiao Xiang.

At this time, Liu Guifei was helped out of it by a palace maid and asked, "Xiaoxiang, what's wrong?" What's so noisy? ā€

When Xiao Xiang saw Concubine Liu coming out, she hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Back to Niangniang, it is Concubine Zheng's two palace maids who don't understand the rules, and the slaves are teaching them a lesson, but I didn't expect to disturb Niangniang." ā€

Concubine Liu looked at Concubine Zheng at this time, and said with a contemptuous smile: "Yo, Sister Concubine Zheng, how can you have time to come to my Huilan Palace today?" ā€

"Concubine Zheng visits the concubine." Concubine Zheng respectfully saluted Concubine Liu.

"Sister, which one are you singing? My sister can't afford it. Liu Guifei glanced at Concubine Zheng who was kneeling on the ground and said.

"You are a second-class concubine personally appointed by His Majesty, and I am just a small third-class princess, you can afford this." Concubine Zheng said calmly, her head still buried on the ground.

"Okay, okay, Sister Concubine Zheng should get up and talk, they are all their own sisters, so there are many outsiders." Liu Guifei said, sitting on a chair in the middle of the front hall.

Concubine Zheng stood up tremblingly under the support of Xiaojun and Xiaoya, and said to Liu Guifei: "Guifei Niangniang, I have specially come to compensate you today." ā€

Xiao Xiang on the side glanced at Concubine Zheng and sneered softly.
