"Ahh Fan Xixi, like a few days ago, was pulled by the old lady from the bed and pulled up by the ear.

"Look at you, what do you look like, sloppy, too lazy like a pig, I really don't know how you did the consul aunt before, just serve the master like this, no wonder you were beaten half to death and sent home, you said why didn't you die halfway, and go home to embarrass this face to the family, and you can save a ration, tsk"

"It's still these few words, Mom, you say a few new nagging, my ears are almost calloused"

This is more than half a year since Van Heedy returned from the palace.

She was originally the personal maid of the queen's side. I have been working diligently in the palace for 8 years, I don't dare to talk much, I have been looking at people's faces, waiting for the 22-year-old to be released from the palace and find someone better to marry.

It's a pity that I didn't make it, and everything changed in the day of the 18-year-old.

A holy decree queen was abolished, although she, the personal palace maid, did nothing wrong, but the queen mother was relegated to the cold palace, how could she have a good life.

The entire queen's Yikun palace maids and eunuchs were personally ordered by the emperor to be beaten half to death, and a few small girls died on the spot.

That night, the cry shook the entire Forbidden City, the dark night reflected the dark yellow palace edge, and the continuous drizzle was accompanied by the "fluttering" sound of the board hitting the flesh and the roar as if to tear the throat, all showing the majesty of the emperor and the solemnity of the palace.

Of course, there are a few people like her who are very senior, because they still have some connections in the palace, and the thugs have left a little behind, and they are dragged out of the palace half-dead.

After she returned home, she was like a rat crossing the street, and the queen of a holy decree became a bad person, so she, the personal palace maid, was naturally shouted and beaten by everyone.

Fan Xixi's grandfather was originally the local county magistrate, and he entered the palace because his grandfather had a relationship and wanted to have a granddaughter in the palace, and if he developed well, he could still pull and pull the family.

is mainly due to Fan Xixi's father's life, which is not very good. After taking the Xiucai exam, Jinshi couldn't pass the exam for a few years, and in the end, it was the relationship of the grandfather who made a county official in charge of criminal law in the county government, and he honestly didn't dare to make mistakes, so he worked in the county for the rest of his life.

Fan Xixi's mother is an embroiderer in Xiufang, and there is also an older brother, who has not been very good at learning, learning painting since childhood, and becoming a lecturer in the painter's lecture hall.

After Grandpa Fan Xixi retired from the county master, seeing that there was really no one to count on in this family, he began to think about sending his 10-year-old granddaughter into the palace.

The family's life was not very wealthy, although it was also a family with officials, but it was originally all dependent on the youngest daughter to be able to make up a little bit in the palace and maintain a little face in the local area. Since the youngest daughter Fan Xixi came back, the family has also clamped their tails and behaved, and they didn't dare to have any official shelf.

Fan Xixi was seriously injured when she first came back, and when she was struggling with death, it was also the old mother Zhang Xiuniang who took all the little savings left in the family and secretly invited a familiar doctor to prescribe some medicine.

The situation of this family is really Xiao He, and Xiao He is also defeated, and after the youngest daughter returns home, life is indeed more difficult.

Although the family chattered all day after returning from Van Xixi, they still opened the door to accept her and gave her a place to stay.

She knew that several palace maids like her would either die on the way, or they would be turned away from the house and starved to death or died of illness.

She is the only palace maid who is still alive in Yikun Palace, except for the queen who was demoted to the cold palace, and her life should not be extinguished.

Of course, it is not easy for her, a housekeeper who already has a certain identity and service experience, to be spurned by thousands of people, pointed at by neighbors, and secretly survive at home.

However, just like she has survived so many winds and waves in the palace for 8 years, although it is difficult, Fan Xixi has never been passive and afraid, she has the confidence, and her own experience will always be useful one day.

Fan Xixi reviewed the tragic fate of the second half of the year, sighed deeply, and adjusted his mood, but he still had to face life with a smile, "Mom, let's chop wood today?" ”

"Chop the skin of firewood, there is no rice to cook at home" The old lady is more than 1.5 meters tall, holding a gourd scoop and digging into the deepest part of the rice tank, Fan Xixi is worried that she will fall into it.

After digging for a long time, she scooped out a few black rice particles, and the angry Zhang Xiuniang stomped her feet, turned around and took a cloth bag and stuffed it into Fan Xixi's arms, "Go, go to the place behind the temple to steal some rice."

"Mom, I remember that you were pious before, when I was in the palace, I asked me to send you money and incense at every turn, why did you go to steal tribute?"

"It was a good time, it was the blessing of the Buddha, we were all starving to death, what is it to steal some rice, if there is meat and steal it back, the monks don't eat meat, so much meat in the temple is harmful to their body and mind"

Fan Xixi was convinced by the old lady's logical thinking. However, as long as there is something to eat, her mother doesn't care about it, and she has nothing to take care of. She still does this kind of thing of stealing meat, it's better than being disgusted by this family at home all day long, and it's not easy to gnaw on the old days, in addition to being thick-skinned, she also has to look at her face.

Fan Xixi took a rag bag and sneaked into the back door of the temple, because he had been sent to the palace since he was a child, and he was not too familiar with the temple next to his door. I only roughly remember that the place where the tribute was placed was probably in the south-facing room in the backyard, Fan Xixi sneaked into the house through the side of the window, looking at the house full of chickens, ducks, and fish that were placed by the people, Fan Xixi really wanted to take them all away and take them home, but it was too easy to be discovered.

A quick glance at the types of tribute, you can take a few according to the fruit, square cake and the like, chicken, duck, fish tear some of the parts that are facing down, Fan Xixi looked at the already full pocket, and then looked at the tribute that was not missing at all, and was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

He was about to retreat in full force, when he suddenly heard the voice of a delicate and delicate girl and a deep male voice outside the door, talking and walking towards this room, Fan Xixi quickly hid behind the Buddha statue.

After entering the room, the two of them first checked whether the door lock was locked.

"Female donor", Fan Xixi looked over, it was shining, it turned out to be a monk talking.

"You lost your father and were depressed, I understand very well, but in the long run, you have been so negative to the world, I am afraid it is not good for your health, and although your father was also a great achievement in war back then, a well-known figure."

"But now, the emperor doesn't let him mention, it's taboo for anyone in the entire government and opposition to mention your father, you already have a new father, a new identity, so naturally everything has to look forward."

, you can come across such a wonderful show when you come to steal things, and it is the secret of the palace when you hear it. The real value of this trip, Fan Xixi secretly gave himself a thumbs up.

When Fan Xixi was still immersed in the joy of eating melons, the delicate girl's voice sounded, and Fan Xixi followed and looked at the girl again.

What a familiar face. Fan Xixi carefully studied the girl's face, feeling that she must have seen it somewhere, but she didn't remember.

The girl hadn't grown yet, fifteen or sixteen. But the appearance is excellent, with a bunch of big watery eyes, with a delicate tone unique to Jiangnan women.

"I know what you said, and all these years thanks to the general, you have been hiding here and taking care of my growth. My father, he ... He told me that sooner or later he would have this day, so I was prepared early. ”

After saying that, the girl seemed to choke up and paused for a while. He buried his head deeply and wiped his tears with a handkerchief.

The monk also closed his eyes and turned the beads to chant "Amitabha"

The little girl continued with a crying voice, "I just didn't expect Sister Jing'er, she was also relegated to the cold palace, she often took care of me since she was a child, after my father died, her life was already very difficult, but she still took care of my mood, kept comforting me, and found me the backer of the E family." ”

"But now I don't even know if Sister Jing'er is dead or alive, I'm so worried about her, but what can I do as a powerless duckweed, I don't have a close person around me now, I don't know what I have to rely on to continue to live."

Fan Xixi quickly grasped the point, "Sister Jing'er! ”

I remembered, I remembered, who this little girl was, where she had seen it, Fan Xixi strung it all together.

The nickname of the queen who was relegated to the cold palace in Fan Xixi's clothes was Jing'er, and it is no wonder that this little girl looks so familiar. She remembered, it was the dark cloud bead.

This girl is a dark cloud bead, and everything makes sense. Wuyunzhu is Rong Yuanqin's daughter, and it turns out that the master who served in the palace, the queen mother, was recommended by Rong Yuanqin to enter the palace, and she was also raised by Rong Yuanqin since she was a child. Rong Yuanqin is as majestic as a father to the queen.

So Wuyunzhu has been close to the queen since she was a child, and even raised her under the queen's knees for a few years, and the queen treats her like her own daughter. Although Fan Xixi served the queen mother, Wuyunzhu had been forced out of the palace with the weakening of the Rong family. But after she left the palace, the queen mother also took care of the dark cloud beads. At that time, Fan Xixi often ran errands for the queen's mother, so she looked at Wuyunzhu so familiar.
