Su Ruoxi smiled: Okay, you are so worried about my safety, I can't bear to let you worry, I will go out in the future, you will follow.

"Thank you, little master"

Su Ruoxi: "Okay, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, you can rest too." ”

Two "yes"

Wait for the two of them to step back.

"Hehe, so arrogant, so arrogant, hum, I've seen too many stupid people like this (a terrifying chill burst out of his eyes)."

evening

Man Dongqing Wen and the others came into the house: "Little master, why don't you call us when you get up?"

"Haha, I want you to rest a little longer."

"The little master doesn't need to be so considerate of the two of us, aren't we here to serve the little master?"

Su Ruoxi: "Since we are all together, we should be sympathetic to each other, it's okay, hehe." Okay, let's go to the Imperial Garden. "Yes, little master"

Gu Jushu, the master and servant, walked into the imperial garden. The cool weather at night, coupled with the faint fragrance of flowers, makes people want to talk about all their troubles.

Gu Jushu's round eyes showed a light of joy: "Ah~~ It's so beautiful here, so many flowers, so fragrant." (Stretching his waist, thinking that he finally doesn't have to be as restrained as he is at home, and he will be reprimanded for taking a little bigger.) I didn't expect to have such a nice place in the palace, but it will be sad in the future."

Qiao Lan panicked; "Little master, be quiet, it's bad if others hear it!"

The corners of Gu Jushu's mouth reluctantly skimmed down: "Ah! That's right, you can't talk nonsense in the palace!! (Alas, still restrained)"

On the other side, these words were heard by Su Ruoxi, who was hanging out.

"Thought, huh? I wanted to come out and find out the terrain here, but I didn't expect to meet a stunned blue, (the corners of the mouth are moon-shaped) Okay, go and meet her)

Walk out of the flowers on the other side--------

"(with a gentle smile on her face) Good evening, sister!" Su Ruoxi's facial features were already considered a symbol, and with her elaborate dress, they became even more gorgeous and moving, shining in the dark night.

(Oh?) Who is this person? It seems a little familiar. This sister is good. Who are you? ”

"Haha, sister don't be nervous, I am Su Ruoxi, a show girl who entered the palace with my sister, and now I am a picker, and I live in Yanxi Palace in the east."

"(Oh, it's strange that it feels familiar) It turns out that this is the case (I am relieved), I am Gu Jushu, and I am also a picker, and I now live in Changchun Palace in the west."

"I just heard that my sister didn't seem to be happy?"

"Huh? Oh.. Is that.. I'm a little unaccustomed to entering the palace just now... ”

"(Warm healing smile) Sister, don't be nervous, I don't have any malice, in fact, I'm the same person as my sister, this palace is boring, why don't I be a companion with my sister?"

(I thought that I could finally have someone to be my companion, and I couldn't help but feel excited.)

(smile with satisfaction) Haha, will my sister call you Sister Shu in the future?"

"Okay,

"Sister, let's go see the peonies over there!"

Yes, good

(The two talked happily along the way, making Gu Jushu's vigilance disappear quietly)

"Haha, I'm so happy to meet my sister today!"

"Hehe~ I'm the same."

"It's getting late today, if my sister doesn't dislike it, how about my sister come to visit my sister tomorrow?" Gu Jushu: "(said with joy) Of course I'm happy that my sister is here, how can I dislike it?" ”

Sister Gu, I'll go back to the palace first, and I'll visit my sister tomorrow. My sister walked slowly.

After each returned to the palace

Hehe~~ That stunned young man is really easy to deceive, just believe me in a few words, what a fool! Haha (change tone) Haha, I just like this kind of stunned blue, hehe (the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned)

Kindness! Also, it's also important to find a backer, otherwise sooner or later someone will be looking for trouble, and I won't be able to resist at that time...

Gu Ju smiled heartily: "Haha~~ I didn't expect there to be such a good person in the palace!" My sister feels so kind, hee-hee, it seems that in the future, it won't be too boring, and tomorrow my sister will come back, it's great (looking forward to it with joy)"

Inner Chamberlain

Ling'er held the white jade in her hand, and suddenly felt a cold feeling coming from the palm of her hand. When he saw someone coming, he hurriedly put it away.

Chu Laowan was sweating profusely and said, "Ling'er, I've washed these clothes, I'll go to sleep, you should go to bed early." ”

Ling'er: Chu Lonely? How do you do laundry until so late? Oh, they left all the clothes on you again, how can this be!! ”

Chu Laowan smiled bitterly: "Forget it, Sister Ling'er, haven't I washed all the clothes, it's okay, I can bear it." ”

Ling'er: Alas! Why did you go on like this? (shakes his head)

There was helplessness hidden behind the smile on Chu Lonewan's face, and she slowly walked into the room, ready to rest. Lying on the bed, all kinds of wounds on her body ached faintly, but what hurt more was the heart, here, no one could stand up in front of her when she was bullied, and no one could even say a word of comfort, she closed her eyes tightly, not because of fatigue, but because of fear, afraid that when she opened her eyes tomorrow, she would be ridiculed by others, beaten and scolded unreasonably, the indifferent looks of others, and the disgusting eyes that shot straight to the psychological side. When will such a life worse than death, such a never-ending cold hell end?

The morning in the palace always seems to come so late, but is it really God's reason?

Yuhua Palace ------ magnificent, brilliant, and indeed the place where the favorite concubine lives.

A woman with hands like soft wattles, skin like clotted fat, handsome eyebrows and eyes, looking forward to Shenfei, opened her lips and slowly said to the palace maid below: "Ran'er, how is this year's show girl?" ”

Ran'er: "Back to Niangniang, this year's show girls are very peaceful, and the same is true for several show girls with good backgrounds." Concubine Wan: "Oh? Isn't it, I'm afraid that it seems to be peaceful, but in fact it's already eager to try, right? Ran'er: "Niangniang don't have to worry, how can they shake Niangniang's status in the emperor's heart?" Concubine Wan: "I hope so"

Early in the morning, Su Li had already gotten up, looking at the rising sun outside the window, smiling very sweetly but very coldly.

"Mandong, Qingwen."

The two replied, "The slave is here." ”

Su Li: "It's rare to have shade this morning, let's go out for a walk." ”

Su Li deliberately walked to the inner warden. At a glance, I saw Chu Lone struggling to fetch water from the well.

Su Li stepped forward: "Sister Chu is early, (closer) Sister Chu can you talk in a different place?" ”

Chu Lonely: "Yes, little master"

Walking to no one's place: "How is my sister doing when she comes in?" ”

"Back to the little master, everything is fine with the slave and maid (but what he said is not confident)"

"Don't lie to me, it seems that they must not have given my sister a good life, it seems that I am going to teach them a lesson (about to leave)"

"No, little lord, I'm really fine."

"(After thinking about it) That's it, sister, I'll tell Ling'er, let you come to my palace on an errand, the inner chamberlain has gone a palace maid, and no one should be able to investigate it. I really can't bear to let you suffer here, in fact, the first time I saw my sister, I felt that you were like my childhood playmate, (holding Chu Lonewan's hand tightly)"

Chu Laowan looked at Su Li gratefully: "Thank you, little master, the slave maid is willing to go to the little master's palace on an errand!" ”

"Great! In the future, I will call you late in front of people, how about it? ”

Chu Laowan nodded gratefully.

In the evening, Su Li found Ling'er.

"Man Dong, Qingwen, you go outside and guard it first."

After the two of them retreated. "Sister Ling'er." (Ling'er wants to salute)

"Oops! In the future, we don't have to salute when we are alone."

"It's the little master" (obviously not as restrained as last time) Ling'er: "The little master came to find the slave this time, but there is something wrong?" ”

(Pulling Ling'er to sit down at the table in front of him)

"Ling'er, do you know that there is a palace maid named Chu Lonewan among the inner eunuchs?"

"You know, the other palace maids see him as a bully, so they often push him to do the work, which looks pitiful! Why did the little lord mention her? ”

"That's the case, I want him to go to my palace on an errand, Ling'er to see if it's feasible?"

"The little lord saw that he was being bullied and wanted to help her?"

"yes, she's a lot like my childhood friend"

"The little lord is really kind-hearted, but it's okay to save her from suffering, and tomorrow I will take care of everything and let her go to the little lord's palace on an errand."

"Thank you so much, Ling'er!"

"It should be for a small sponsorship"

"Ling'er, it's good to have you"

"Ling'er thinks the same way"

After returning to the palace

The moment she walked out of the room, Su Ruoxi's face returned to expressionlessness, thinking that it would not hurt to have such a person by her side, and in the future, she would be presented to that emperor, and more people would be inserted in this harem. In this harem, it's not okay not to leave a way back for yourself, hehe~~~

The next morning, Chu Lone arrived at Yanxi Palace as scheduled.

"Sister, you finally don't have to be bullied by them anymore"

"It's all up to the little master, the slave is grateful~~"

Ruoxi looked at Chu Lonely late (thinking, it's a good Qingli beauty...) "Sister, I will feel much more at ease with you by my side." Okay, sister, let's go and freshen up first, Man Dongqingwen will get clothes for Wan'er" Chu Lonely Wan (grateful eyes)

Dressing room

Mandong: "Evening, you are really lucky, our little master is a good person" Qingwen; "Eun, we are usually treated like sisters to us."

Chu Lonewan (Little Master Su, what a good person, we never knew each other before, but we helped me like this, otherwise I don't know how much bullying they will have, I will follow her with peace of mind in the future, serve him, and repay her. -------- after freshening up

－

"Come, Wan'er, let me see, (make a surprised gesture) Wan'er, you are so beautiful, definitely not inferior to all the ladies in the palace"

Chu Lonely: "The slave maid is just a maid, how can she be compared with the lady in the palace!" Ruoxi: "Haha, sister is shy!" Chu Lonely: "Little master... ”

Chu Lone became a personal palace maid like Mandong Qiaolan. A few days later, Su Li went to Changchun Palace to find Gu Jushu.

On the way to Changchun Palace

Chu Laowan thought that she and Su Ruoxi had become good sisters in the past few days, although Su Li didn't think so.

"Little master, who are we going to see this time?"

"Hehe, I'm going to find a little shopper like me."

Changchun Palace

"Grace ... It's really boring, Qiaolan Green Lotus I'm going to Yanxi Palace. ”

Two: "Yes, little master"

was about to go out, but bumped into four people walking this way.

"Alas! Sister, where are you going? Gu Jushu: "I was about to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

"It seems that my sister and I have a good heart!"

Gu Jushu: "Sister come in, I've been bored lately, I want to talk to my sister more!" ”

After entering the house.

(looked at Qiaolan and Luhe, and said) You three go down." Gu Jushu: "You too, go and guard outside"

There were only two people left in the house.

"My sister is like this, but there is something important?" Su Ruoxi; "It's been almost a month since the two of us entered the palace, what are my sister's plans?"

"This... My father wanted me to win the emperor's favor in the palace and assist him in his position in the court... What about my sister? ”

Ruoxi: "I'm the same as my sister, but even if we don't care about my father's instructions, if we don't win the emperor's favor in the palace, in this deep palace, I'm afraid that other concubines will eat us alive, so we can't be silent, we have to find a way to occupy our own place in the palace!" ”

"What my sister said is reasonable, but my sister is stupid, I'm afraid I can't..."

"Sister, don't say that, the two of us sisters will advance and retreat together in the future and take care of each other, what do you think, sister?"

"Of course that's good, I'll ask my sister for more advice in the palace. (happily holding Su Ruoxi's hand)"

"Since we are sisters, don't say such words, now the top priority is to find a backer in the palace and let her introduce us to the emperor."

"Then which sister thinks is more suitable?"

"Now the three most favored mothers in the palace are Concubine Mei, Concubine Chen, Concubine Wan, Concubine Mei is not easy to get along with, Concubine Chen eats fasting and recites Buddha every day, ignoring mundane things. Concubine Wan is a suitable candidate, she comes from a humble background, and she should need to consolidate her power in the palace, so we can give it a try. ”

"Well, just listen to my sister."

"I heard that the day after tomorrow is the Peony Flower Meeting, Concubine Wan will definitely go, and then our opportunity will come." Gu Jushu: "En." ”

After Su Li returned to Yanxi Palace

Man Dongqingwen. Let's go and prepare something for freshening up. Two: "Yes"

After the two left, Su Li took Chu Laowan's hand and sat down at the table

"Sister, our future days may be much more difficult and sad, can you accompany me through it?"

"Little master, no matter how difficult and dangerous the days to come will be, there will be slaves and maids to accompany you through it."

"Thank you, sister (with tears in her eyes)"

Late at night------ Su Li stood alone in front of the window, her smile looked incomparably soft under the moonlight, but the incomparably cold and strong fragrance of flowers filled this glorious and atmospheric palace, but the strong fragrance seemed to make people uneasy, all from the corner that no one would touch except herself, slowly seeping out, until she drowned the whole herself.

In the middle of the night, Yanxi Palace, Su Ruoxi's room.

(I don't know where the voice came from): "Su Li, are you awake?" ”

"Who? Who are you? Where are you? Come out for me! "Sit up from the bed and tug at the corners of the quilt

"Hehe~~ Su Li, are you afraid? Haha, this feeling is familiar, right? ”

"Nope!! No!! Never have I ever been scared! Never!! ”

"Haha, you can't hide it, Su Li, everyone is used by you, don't you feel sorry for them?"

"I only have myself in my heart, and they are all my pawns! Chess pieces! ”

"(Suddenly serious) Ruoxi! Why are you like this?

You used to be kind-hearted, thinking about others in everything, and never caring about yourself! ”

"Haha, haha (numbing low laughter) Clams? I've been like this, haha!! Ha ha! So stupid? ”

"Ruoli. You... "Suddenly everything was silent. Su Li also lay quietly on the bed, as if nothing had happened, but the teardrop in the corner of her eye flowed down quietly, but no one noticed.

Maid's room

Chu Laowan opened his eyes, looking at the sky outside that had turned slightly white, and his heart was uneasy. Recalling Su Ruoxi's every look and every action, I always felt that something was wrong. She seems to be deliberately close to everyone, and her smile seems to be faked.

"Why? If the past is really not what it seems, I still want to ask her more safely" Chu Lonely muttered to himself.

Changchun Palace

The sky has slowly appeared white, but Gu Jushu's heart is also like the sky, and it slowly becomes blank.

"What Su Li said may be right, if you don't fight for it, you will never be able to survive in this palace. It seems that the days ahead will not be peaceful... Gu Jushu was lying on the bed, his heart was just blank, but it was extremely complicated. It was as if countless threads were entangled, and the more they were wound, the tighter they were.

The sky was completely white, the fresh air, the green trees, the birds flying, everything seemed calm, but, as it was, it was just a self-consolation, because next to these things were cold yellow buildings that watched people sink in.

The golden silk skirt is inlaid with red silk edges, the lower skirt is outlined with silver silk patterns, the long black and soft hair is coiled into a beautiful bun, a few strands of broken hair are scattered down the gentle atmosphere, but it does not lose its agility, the pearl earrings between the ears are swaying, revealing a few traces of delicate breath, the eyes are like water, but with the coldness of talking, it seems to be able to see through everything, and the eyebrows are lightly swept away, and the facial features are more and more beautiful.

Concubine Wan: "This year's peony is really gorgeous!" ”

The maid Ran'er: "Yes, Niangniang, but how can these peonies compare to the limelight of Niangniang?" ”

Concubine Wan looked at Concubine Mei who was walking in front of her and said with a smile: "You girl, how can you talk nonsense like this? Concubine Mei has a Sacred Heart more than me! Alas! Sister Concubine Mei, today's sister is charming and moving,"

Concubine Mei was dressed in a dark purple dress, the pleats of the skirt were like snow and moonlight, and the most eye-catching of the gorgeous bun was a delicate plum hairpin, shining on the top of her head, just like its owner, with apricot-shaped beautiful eyes, slender eyebrows, and a delicate nose bridge.

The corners of Concubine Mei's mouth showed a sarcastic meaning: "The body is skinny, and the parents are accepted, so my sister praises me so much?" It's my sister, it's a great blessing for your parents to have a daughter like your sister (ironic that Concubine Wan came from a humble background)"

Concubine Wan (silently): "Then Sister Xie Jiyan, (the words changed) Alas, sister, look at this peony (pointing to the largest and most colorful peony) blooming big and bright, almost stealing the limelight of other flowers, but the extremes of things will be reversed, and when it withers, people are afraid that they will not look at it (alluding to Concubine Mei's love of pets, and sarcastically showing her to gain a foothold in the palace)"

Concubine Mei: "You。。。 Okay, Sun Lianji! Concubine Wan? With such a humble background as yours, do you dare to be so arrogant? ”

Concubine Wan said proudly: "My sister is angry, my sister is just talking about peonies." Concubine Mei: "You。。。。 “

Seeing the situation, Su Li stepped forward to ask for peace.

Salute and say: "Concubine see Concubine Mei, Concubine Wan"

Concubine Wan: "Get up"

"Xie Niangniang" (picked the peony after getting up) The concubine wants to dedicate this peony to Concubine Mei, I wonder if Concubine Mei is willing to accept it? ”

Concubine Mei: "(The expression is very ugly, but I can't say why) Well... This peony will be rewarded to you (glaring at Su Ruoxi fiercely), and the palace will not accompany my sister to enjoy the flowers if she is unwell today. My sister went back to the palace first."

Concubine Wan (with an indescribable depth in her eyes): "Sister, it's easy to go." ”

Su Li: "Congratulations to Concubine Mei" (

Concubine Wan glanced at Su Li meaningfully) and said, "You are the new Su Cainu who entered the palace this year, right?" ”

"Yes"

Concubine Wan: "Why did you give the peony to Concubine Mei just now?" ”

"It's just because the concubine thinks that Concubine Mei is suitable for the peony"

"Oh? That's smart! Haha, you're very knowledgeable about current affairs (after that, go to the other side of the Imperial Garden)"

"The concubine sends Concubine Wan Niangniang"

Chu Lonely: "Little master, you scared me to death!" I just thought the two mothers were going to be furious! ”

Su Li: "Haha, don't be afraid, alas? Sister Gu hasn't come yet? ”

Chu Laowan: "The slave maid has already seen Gu Xiaozhu just now, over there" Su Ruoxi looked in the direction Chu Laowan pointed, and sure enough, she saw Gu Jushu walking towards her with an anxious face.

"Su Li, you really scared me to death, I thought they would do something to you!"

"Isn't it better now? But sister, I just helped Concubine Wan tease Concubine Mei, and he may take action against us. ”

Gu "Eun, we have to be careful"

Yuhua Palace,

Concubine Wan: "Su Cainu? Not just what kind of person you are? It's good if it can be used by me, (there is a hint of weirdness on Zhengrong's face)

Yanxi Palace

Su Li walked into his room with brisk steps, picked up the tea on the table, and looked at Gu Jushu

"Well, that's it anyway, let's wait and see, yes. But Sister Gu, today I want to talk to you about someone. ”

"Who? Yes (looking at Chu Lonewan next to him)" Su Ruoxi: "How does my sister know?" ”

Gu Jushu smiled: "Usually, you never treat him as a maid, but if you say this today, you must mention him."

Su Lijiao said angrily: "Sister is really, but to be serious, Sister Wan'er came to sit down (pulled Chu Lonely to sit down)

Chu Lonely: "This... ”

"Sister Wan'er is very much like my childhood playmate, I have been with her for so long, I have long regarded him as my sister, and the three of us will enjoy happiness in this palace in the future, and we will share hardships and hardships, okay! (looking at the two) two: "Well, good" (excited)

"By the way, where is your father's high school?"

"I'm just the daughter of a farmer's family."

"Sister doesn't have to be presumptuous, with my sister's qualifications, she will definitely not be just a palace maid!"

"Su Li, you!! (blushing)

Hahahaha (The three of them chatted with each other for a long time and got to know each other a lot) Gu Jushu: "Haha, today is really fun, but the hour is not early, I will go back to the palace first"

Su Li was still unsatisfied, but looking at the sky, she had to say, "Let's send my sister to the two of us." ”

At night, in Chu Lone's evening room

Chu Lonely: "Alas, that may be my delusion, how can Ruo Xi be a person in front of people and a person behind him?" I really shouldn't have thought of him like that. ”

The night is always so quiet, but the human heart is different, and the night is precisely when it is most active.

Su Li sat on the dresser, holding the eyebrow pencil in her hand, and before she could draw it, her lips had already spoken

"Concubine Wan? , It seems that you have had a lot of grievances with Concubine Mei, huh? That's a good thing. ”

The night is dark, but something seems to be darker than it.
