Chapter 60: Guidance
Xing'er worshipped Mama Yuchun as her teacher, Xing'er didn't even mention her thoughts for the time being, Mama Yuchun was extremely happy, Xing'er was the first apprentice in her heart and probably the last apprentice.
Mama Yuchun and Xing'er made three chapters of the law, and set up a few rules, and the piles were all obscure, but Xing'er also accepted them, and some people's words would not harm themselves if they listened to them, and Mama Yuchun was like this in Xing'er's heart.
When the master and apprentice were chatting, Mama Yuchun suddenly threw out a question, which shocked Xing'er.
Mama Yuchun asked, "Zhou Liang is not your relative then, right?!" ”
Xing'er Teng stood up! Full of panic! Suddenly I felt that I was out of shape and sat back down, and my tongue was knotted and hurriedly covered up.
"Yes, yes." Xing'er lowered her head and looked at Yuchun secretly, "Master, what, why do you ask Xing'er this?" ”
Mama Yuchun smiled, took a sip of fragrant tea, looked at Xing'er, and thought: After all, she is a child, and there is no city government.
"Then Master asks you again, what was the purpose of the two girls of the Chen family and the Wang family performing at the snow banquet in the winter moon last year?" Yuchun had a straight face, without any expression.
Xing'er still lowered her head, secretly looking stupid, unable to guess what the master meant by asking this.
"It's a fun, isn't it?" Xing'er muttered quietly, seeing that Yuchun didn't speak, she continued to say, "It's also a comparison...... It doesn't seem to be all, Master...... Xing'er can't say it well. ”
"You're such a stupid girl who doesn't have a bit of a city! Come here, sit closer to Master. As she spoke, Mama Yuchun crossed her legs. So which of the two of them do you think won? ”
Xing'er moved her chair closer to Yuchun.
"Hmm...... If I had to say it, it would be Sister Zhen'er. ”
"And then?"
"No more...... Could it be Sister Chen? However, the apprentice thinks that they are comparable, Master... It's a bit hard. ”
Yuchun listened to her, and the cat bent down and got closer to Xing'er.
"Then Master asks you again, you are in this palace, you want to stay like this for the rest of your life?"
"Of course not!" Xing'er hurriedly said, and Mama Yuchun thought she had opened her mind, and the corners of her mouth began to smile slightly. But Xing'er's next sentence almost made Yuchun vomit old blood.
"The father and mother who still want to be found in the apprentice will go out of the palace in the future."
Yu Chun's face turned blue and pale, with an expression of being angry with Xing'er.
"What a silly boy!" Mama Yuchun sat up straight and resumed her sitting posture just now.
"Do you think you can get into the palace and get out in the future?! In the future, I will find your father and mother, presumably they don't want you to leave the palace, how many people dream of a good home. ”
"But ......" what Xing'er wants to say, she doesn't want this good home, she just wants to live a peaceful life with her parents, and don't worry about it in the palace every day. But after all, I can't say.
"Fool, remember that since you entered the palace, your fate is destined to be tightly locked with this palace."
"Nope! Master! Xing'er wants to return to her parents! Xing'er's gaze was firm.
"What a stupid boy. Let me ask you, do you really think that the Queen Mother stayed with you because of your meritorious service? ”
"Of course not, and the apprentice's godfather is Manager Zhou......"
"Phew! Zhou Liang is something, a ...... eunuch" Mama Yuchun suddenly stopped, and then took another sip of fragrant tea to stabilize her mind.
Xing'er thought she was going to swear, and was startled, although Mama Yuchun is a special existence in this palace, but it can be seen that she is very cultivated, fortunately, Yuchun braked in time.
Mama Yuchun drank tea for a while, she didn't speak for a long time, and Xing'er didn't dare to speak, although she had already apprenticed, Xing'er and Yuchun were not very familiar with each other, and she couldn't touch her temper.
"Do you remember the first time you and I met my master and apprentice? At that time, the Queen Mother asked Master and me to see not how your piano skills were, but to let Master and I identify whether your piano skills are from famous families. ”
"I have seen your skills as a teacher, it is a typical style of Guan Long, there is no doubt that the Queen Mother is completely determined to keep you by her side, your future cannot be to serve such a little female official, maybe you will be the daughter of the queen mother's favorite grandson in the future, she cultivated you, it should also be for this."
"But ......," Mama Yuchun paused, "it is your luck and your misfortune that you are favored by the Queen Mother." Ay...... As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. ”
Xing'er didn't understand, and looked at Mama Yuchun with big eyes.
"Remember when you were punished more than two years ago? And is it true that after the two girls of King Chen entered the palace, your life was much sader? ”
Xing'er didn't say a word, everything the master said was true, and he could only nod silently.
"Do you know why?"
"Xing'er doesn't know, please ask Master for advice."
"That's because the Queen Mother cultivated you, but she didn't want you to step on the throne of the Middle Palace in the future, she just wanted to use you as bait to restrain other emperors and grandsons and clear the obstacles for the crown prince!"
Click! A bolt of lightning struck Xing'er's brain, and she couldn't believe her ears.
"No, no master, Xing'er is just a little girl, not some bait, and I don't know what obstacles to clear for the prince."
"You are a little girl, yes, but just now, with your little appearance, three or five years later, although it is said that it is stunning, it will be a graceful and elegant character."
"Master, where is Xing'er......" Xing'er's little face was a little hot when Mama Yuchun said, it was the first time someone praised her for her good looks so bluntly, she was a little shy.
"Therefore, it is not unreasonable for me to take a fancy to you as a teacher." Mama Yuchun asked again.
"Since I saw you for the first time as a teacher, I found that you are not surprised by the changes in the child, and you are not good at rewards and praises, and you are not diligent or refusal, which is very good."
Xing'er nodded.
"Since you have entered this deep palace, don't treat yourself as an outsider, what are you looking for your biological father, let it go for the time being, learn how to survive in the palace first! I think some people have already fired cold arrows at you. ”
As soon as Mama Yuchun's words came out, it seemed to pierce Xing'er's heart, yes, why not, she has been designed, and there are some things that can't be hidden.
"There are some things, you have to have a plan yourself, since I have accepted you as an apprentice, I will definitely point you in the future." Mama Yuchun took a sip of tea and moistened her throat.
"Don't be busy, you don't have to thank me, you just need to keep one thing in mind."
"Dare to ask Master, what is the matter?"
"You remember, you will always be the queen mother's person, yesterday is today, and in the future, you must not betray!" Mama Yuchun bit out word by word.
Xing'er's eyes widened, staring at Mama Yuchun's face motionlessly, with an inexplicable loss in her heart, but it turned out that her apprenticeship was also in the hands of others. But she just wants to be an ordinary girl, an ordinary self, and it is enough to find her father and mother and live with them.
Now that Mama Yuchun said such words, Xing'er felt like she was going to be tied hand and foot, from this cage into that cage, as if she would never be free, she didn't want to, but she was already deep in it, what could she do?
I think that she has been fostered in this deep palace for more than two years, always like a frightened bird, always cautious, and always wants to return to her father and mother in the next second, but now the master says that she wants to be the queen mother forever.
She is unwilling, even more unwilling, not that she doesn't want to be the queen mother, she doesn't want to be anyone, she just wants to break through this palace, and she wants to return to her family all the time.
"Master, Xing'er doesn't want to!" Xing'er said what she really thought.
Mama Yuchun was not surprised, she drank tea silently and did not speak for a long time. After a cup of tea, I finally opened my mouth again.
"Unwilling to obey the Queen Mother? Or ......"
"Master, Xing'er just wants to go back to her parents and brothers and be with them. I don't want to live in this deep palace forever. ”
"Confused! What are you? What am I? Yuchun Mama jumped up angrily, "They are all minions!" Skinned are all the same minions! Are you really an officer?! I, the deacon of Pear Blossom Garden, are all ants! ”
"Xing'er is grateful to the Queen Mother, and I am grateful to you, but Xing'er is unwilling and doesn't want to live like this every day in the future, so I'm scared!"
Saying that, Xing'er cried and squatted on the ground. Xing'er is telling the truth, and Mama Yuchun doesn't know.
"Hey...... Silly boy! Yuchun sighed and sat back in his chair.
"I don't know who your parents are, but I can tell you how hard your parents have put into you, and I can guess what they plan for you in the future."
"Your parents' cultivation of you is all according to everyone's beauty, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, needlework, and female popularity, you should learn a lot, why? There are only two roads, one is to be matched with high-ranking officials, and the other is to enter the palace to accompany the king. ”
Xing'er is young after all, what kind of marriage and matching, it is not something she can think of at her age.
When she was at home, her parents really cultivated her, and even let her go to public school with her eldest brother, so that she could make friends with the daughters and sons of local celebrities. Now that I hear Mama Yuchun say this, does my father really think like this? Xing'er calculated in her heart.
"Silly boy, no matter what you think, or whether you want to do it now, it doesn't matter for the time being, you will understand it slowly in the future, but now there is only one point, you must be clear......"
"What?" Xing'er asked urgently.
"You must plan for your future, you can't be a lady-in-waiting forever, if the Queen Mother can't use you one day, you become a waste, and you can't get out of the palace, at that time, how should you deal with yourself?"
"I ......" Xing'er couldn't speak for a long time.
"You can't answer, do you?" Mama Yuchun smiled. "At that time, if you are still young, it is okay to say, put it in the worship room, and hand it over to the deacon and grandmother in charge of the palace maid to assign you to do some work, and if your life is good, go to serve the ladies of the palace, isn't it? Xinzheku, Huanyi Bureau, and even Yongxiang may be the place for you. ”
"You're a young girl, going to clean the toilet for the eunuch? Or go and send milk to the mothers of the palaces? Deliver ice? Footwash? Do you understand this? ”
Xing'er never thought that she might face these unbearable situations, let alone know that there was such an unbearable job in the palace. Xing'er stood silently in place, thinking for a while, and suddenly fell to her knees.
"Please teach me, Master!"
