After nightfall, the sky began to rain again, and the wind blew to predict the cold of spring.

The moon flowers to be bloomed in front of the gate of Chuxiu Palace are covered with a layer of cotton cloth, and they are most afraid that the delicate flowers will not withstand the wind and rain, and the palace people are all careful to play with them.

"So this afternoon Chengqian Palace took over the post of the garden party the day after tomorrow?"

The beauty on the soft collapse held the tea cup in both hands, and the two curved willow eyebrows were gently condensed, staring at the palace maid in front of her.

"Niangniang, it's true, the news from Father-in-law Jia came from here today. said that the concubine Niangniang saw Concubine Ning today, and then took the post. ”

Hearing this, Lin Jieyu's eyebrows smiled again, "What kind of person is this to take the post, I think it was Xue Yang who took Sister Qu to take the post next." ”

"It should be," said the palace man below, "Concubine Ning hadn't left when she received the post." ”

"It's pathetic." Lin Jieyu smiled and put the teacup down, "The two old women can only keep warm in this way......"

"Niang Niang look...... What are we going to set up now? ”

"What to arrange, don't arrange anything, I'm afraid of them coming?" Lin Jieyu's voice was soft, her long hair was like black satin under the candle flame, and a strand of hair was wrapped around hers, making crimson marks, "I'm afraid they won't come......"

"Yes."

"You let them keep an eye on what the concubine is going to wear the day after tomorrow...... Let me know an hour in advance. Lin Jieyu smiled and said, "Anything else, let her go." ”

……

In the east side hall, there was another mist of steaming.

Sitting in a tub filled with water, Bai Ling sank his entire body under the water, leaving only one head outside.

In the sparkling water, Bai Ling was a little distracted, staring at everything in front of him out of focus. The brief meeting with Bai Yi in the afternoon has always haunted her mind.

It's false to say that I'm not worried, but if I think about it carefully, although Bai Yi does have occasional amazing moves, his plan has basically been realized every time...... Bai Ling smiled bitterly for a while, as if he had no other choice but to believe in him for the time being?

In the mist, Bai Ling sighed and leaned back against the tub. She slowly reached out and looked at the lines of her forearm in the dim light.

It's been seven years.

It's been seven years since I came into this world.

If you take the identity of a girl, she has entered the court at the age of eleven and maintains a balance among many intricate forces, she is probably already amazingly intelligent.

But if you really have to evaluate her life in the past seven years by her original level of adaptability...... The result is probably "severe maladaptation".

Because in the past seven years, except for her father and brother, and the fourteenth who was hand-picked by the Queen Mother, she hardly has anyone to confide in; Aside from what she was doing now, none of the jobs she could rely on for a living had anything to do with her ideal life in the past.

Many years ago, on June 1st, my aunt asked her, "What kind of adult do you want to grow into?" ”

She thought about it for a while, but in her diary that night, she wrote: "I hope that in the future, in a free and dignified way, I will be able to gain both material and spiritual recognition in this world." ”

At that time, she was literally eleven years old—and the price of precocious wisdom was the premature end of a girl's childhood.

When she became an adult, when Bai Ling looked back at her youth, she found that the shadows of her parents had been blurred, and only her aunt in a red dress stood gracefully in her memories.

Her character, her desires, her hatred, and her principles...... None of them hit themselves like a brand. Through Bai Ling herself, the gentle and rational woman who only exists in memories lives vividly in the world again.

However...... Who would have predicted that she would one day be here and forced to start a life with a whole new identity?

Fate has an amazing talent for playing tricks on people.

Bai Ling closed her eyes and remembered the conversation with Bai Yi during the day, and she suddenly realized that both her father and brother were the ones who were struggling to push the stones.

She didn't know if they had ever questioned the meaning of their lives in the dead of night, or maybe they were both "unrepentant optimists" in Sartre's mouth.

Suddenly, there was a soft sound outside, which suddenly interrupted Bai Ling's reverie—someone pushed the door in from outside.

Behind the screen, Bai Ling instinctively hugged himself and sank down, "Who?" ”

"It's me, Niangniang wants to come and talk to you tonight, let me call you over......"

It was the voice of the treasure duck, and Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the moisture in this room, Bao Yuan couldn't help but let out an exclamation, "Bai Ling, why are you taking a bath again?" Didn't you wash it the day before yesterday? ”

Bai Ling smiled and walked out of the tub and picked up the towel on the screen to wipe the hot water on his body.

"It's easier to think about things when you're in the shower." Behind the screen, Bai Ling's voice came, "So ......"

"You can't wash it every day, it's still at night! Do you know that women are most afraid of the cold," Bao Yuan stood outside the screen and admonished, "The cold is heavy at night, and the humidity is also heavy, and taking a bath at this time is not good for the body!" Last time I bathed you at night, I couldn't help it-"

Bai Ling listened silently without squeaking, and could only sigh that there were so many rules of life here that it was staggering.

What a pleasant thing to take a bath before bed......

"What's wrong with the mother?" Bai Ling asked, wiping his hair.

"Niangniang is not good at practicing mindfulness today, I close my eyes and there are a bunch of other thoughts in my mind, so I want to talk to you." Bao Yuan thought for a while, and then said softly, "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. ”

"Hmm."

"In the afternoon, Niangniang picked up the post, the post of the garden party the day after tomorrow." Bao Yuan sighed, "I don't know how Concubine Ning poured the ** soup, and she moved her mother in three or two sentences." At this time, the mother regretted that her intestines were green, but she had already received the emperor's post, and it was difficult to regret it. ”

"Garden Party...... It's a small cherry blossom viewing party in the Imperial Garden, right? Bai Ling asked.

"That's right." Bao Yuan nodded, "I know why Niangniang doesn't want to see Concubine Ning, everything in this world is one thing and one thing, and our Niangniang has no choice but to take Concubine Ning." ”

Bao Yuan paced back and forth outside, and talked to Bai Ling about the conflict between Concubine Ning and Granny Shu when she was in the main hall in the afternoon.

After listening to this, Bai Ling said in a low voice, "You go back first, Sister Baoyuan, I'll clean it up, and I'll go over by myself in a while." ”

Bai Ling didn't make a sound, but his face was already smiling - the thing of "promised to go out and think about it and regret it" felt a little familiar no matter how you look at it.
