Chapter 201: Grace and Might
Because she is not favored, the dormitory where Zhihan lives doesn't even have a name, it's not much better than the palace maid, it's just a little more spacious.
Xiangjun led the way in front, because the twilight was getting darker, and there were not many people coming and going in the palace.
"Lord Wang, Miss is inside."
Xiangjun motioned for Jing Qicheng to go in first and guard outside, lest anyone come in.
The room was deserted, and there were a few utensils casually, all of which were of ordinary condition, and even when Zhihan lived in the Xu family, it was much better than here.
In the palace, favored women live in the clouds, and those who are not favored will be trampled into the mud.
Zhihan was half lying on the bed, half of her arms were exposed outside the quilt, her face was flushed, and she really looked sick.
"Water, I want to drink water."
She muttered to herself with her eyes half-open.
Jing Qicheng picked up the tea bowl on the table, the tea leaves in it didn't know how long it had been brewing, the tea bowl was also the simplest style, and the water poured out still had a strange taste.
But Zhihan, who was sick, couldn't care about this, and drank most of the bowl with his eyes closed.
She only looked better after drinking the water.
"Cousin...... Is that you, cousin? ”
Seeing Jing Qicheng, Zhihan's eyes immediately turned red, her eyebrows and eyes drooped, and her tears dripped down in large numbers, wanting to lean on him, but she looked restrained.
"Thank you, cousin, if it weren't for you, I don't think I would have survived this time."
Jing Qicheng watched her face gradually coincide with the appearance of his mother in his memory, he knew that Zhihan was not a simple-minded woman, but he couldn't ignore her current appearance, after all, she was still his cousin.
"I'll let someone from the Tai Hospital come to check your pulse, and you can rest in peace."
Jing Qicheng finished speaking and wanted to leave, but Zhihan grabbed his sleeve.
She looked sad and looked up at Jing Qicheng.
"Cousin, it's better for me to live in the palace than to die, I'm afraid I won't be able to live if I go on like this, my cousin can't save me once and can't save me a second time, anyway, I'm also a helpless person, and I'm clean when I die."
Her eyes showed a hint of determination, and she said very firmly that her entry into the palace was an accident, and now since God did not favor her, she also accepted her fate.
She was very grateful that Jing Qicheng was willing to pull herself at this time, but she didn't care anymore.
"Cousin, I have only one wish, that one day I really die here, and please be sure to send my bones back."
After that, Zhihan asked Xiangjun to send off the guests.
Xiangjun knelt directly in front of Jing Qicheng, saying that their girls were really miserable in the palace, and everyone bullied them.
"It was the emperor who fell in love with the young lady at the beginning, so our young lady entered the palace, lord, you should be a little bit of blood in your mother's family."
Zhihan drank and ordered Xiangjun to get up, saying that this is his own business, don't affect others.
It is her fate to enter the palace, and it is helpless to be snubbed, since everything is destined, why force it.
"Cousin, don't worry about me, Zhihan has long put life and death out of the way."
She paused and said that there are many people in the palace, and this is not a place for Jing Qi Cheng to stay for a long time, so he should go back early.
Xiangjun wanted to say something but was stopped by Zhihan, if she dared to talk nonsense, she would be kicked out!
Jing Qicheng didn't say much, only said that he would send some medicine over and let Zhihan take care of it without permission.
After he left, Xiangjun wiped his tears and got up from the ground to close the door, and only after making sure that Jing Qicheng had gone away did he ask Zhihan, did this trick really work?
"I chose the wrong path before, and I forgot what kind of person Jing Qicheng is, since it doesn't work to take the initiative to give it away, it's better to sell it directly."
Zhihan was completely different from the miserable appearance just now, she threw away the tea bowl in disgust, she had to pinch her nose to drink the tea just now.
Her life is really hard now, but Concubine Yue and Concubine Xian are not too much to the point of not giving her a way out, there is still no shortage of food and clothing, as long as she can honestly be a girl, she can barely survive.
But if she didn't have ambitions, she wouldn't have entered the palace.
She knows very well that if she doesn't have a backer, she can't compete for favor, if Jing Qicheng can pity herself, then Concubine Xian will also give herself three points of face.
Xiangjun was still a little worried, after all, Jing Qicheng didn't stop Zhihan when he was kicked out of the palace, and now he will really help? Besides, there is also a Meng combing eyebrows, if she knew, wouldn't she be jealous?
"Don't worry, I know men better than you, it would be better if Meng combed his eyebrows and made a fuss, but it helped me."
Zhihan asked Xiangjun to pay more attention to the movements in the harem, and believed that he would soon know whether Jing Qicheng would pity himself in the end.
The Warm Fragrance Pavilion has been renovated, and the jade hibiscus has not stayed for long, and on the day she left the palace, she left the phoenix-necked pipa that Shen Moran had sent.
"Since this thing was given to the girl by the king of the county, I think the girl should keep it."
Yu Furong smiled and shook her head, her own pipa has been repaired, and it is a pity to keep this pipa, it is better to return it to Shen Moran, and when he meets a bosom friend again, he can also give it to others.
"The girl is really transparent."
Presumably, Yu Furong also saw Shen Moran's thoughts, but since she was born as an official prostitute, she naturally understood how big the identity gap was between her and Shen Moran.
Now that we know what the ending is, why bother with it.
"I will definitely return this original pipa, and please rest assured."
It is precisely because she is a person with a crystal heart that Meng combs her eyebrows and admires Jade Hibiscus very much.
Out of the mud without staining, even in the predicament can abide by the heart, neither humble nor arrogant.
If you change to a thoughtful woman, knowing that Shen Moran is interested in herself, she will definitely take the opportunity to get close to her, so as to get out of slavery.
The carriage that came to pick up people from Nuanxiang Pavilion had already left, and Meng Combrow instructed Chunxing to relocate the courtyard where Yu Furong lived.
Shopkeeper Zhu sent the account book, and every time Meng combed his eyebrows and looked at the dense numbers and names on the account book, he felt a headache.
In ancient times, a single-entry accounting method was used, which not only looked troublesome but also very easy to mess up, so Meng combed his eyebrows and asked Zhu to write down all the things in the future, and number them, so that it would be much easier to find.
"The princess is really talented, I have been a shopkeeper for so long, but I haven't found such a convenient way."
"You not only have to help Jing Qicheng watch the business on the first floor of the world, but also help him do other things, so naturally it's hard work."
She put the ledger aside, it was natural for him to help Jing Qicheng with his errands, but there was no need to avoid herself.
Shopkeeper Zhu knew that she was talking about the two farmers who had come to the capital to escort him out of the city before, so he explained that it was not that he deliberately concealed it, but that the matter was very important, and no more than three people knew about it besides him.
