Chapter 15: Selection for the Palace (2)
The little eunuch glared again, muttered a few times and left. I sat down in a corner with the sign, and the eyes that looked at me did not disperse, they pointed at me and talked about each other, most of them showed disdain in their eyes.
I naturally knew what they were thinking, and when I encountered such a thing, I naturally wanted to be more serious, I didn't care about their words and deeds at all, and after putting away the jade brand in my hand, I found a secluded place to sit down, and stared at the falling leaves in the yard in a daze.
The laughter and laughter that used to be here are still reflected in my mind, but now I have entered the palace again because of a new identity, and every grass and tree here is still the same as before, but the people have changed.
I was stunned, and by the time I came back to my senses, there was already a crowd around me. I glanced up at their angry faces and said slowly, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"Humph! It's just a merchant's woman, what's there to drag! "The first thing to trouble is a gorgeous-looking girl, her eyebrows and eyes are raised, her long gown and skirt, her dark hair shawl, and the red rouge sets off her complexion more delicately, which is very in line with the image of everyone's lady, but she opened her mouth like this.
I glanced at her lightly, looked down to understand the crumpled edge of her clothes, and said slowly, "I don't know what happened to this girl?" ”
"What did you do yourself, you don't know?" Before I could finish my sentence, the annoying voice stole my words. She pulled me up, stared at me viciously, and said, "This is my seat!" ”
I glanced over at the innocent chair and tried to get out of their circle. But before I could take a step, they stopped me and raised their heads proudly: "Tsk, it's really full of copper smell!" ”
I didn't want to argue with them too much, but since she had already provoked the conversation, it was necessary to fight back. I closed my eyes and paused, then opened them again and said, "It's better to have a copper stench all over your body than an inconspicuous maid." ”
"Say it again!" Now it was her turn to run out of confidence, but she still glared at me viciously.
I smiled lightly, pushed her body away from me, and strode forward. Before I could cross the threshold, my hair was pulled back hard, and although I didn't feel the pain, the force still made my head jerk back. I frowned, turned around with the momentum, and gave her a backhand slap while letting my hair slip out of her hand.
This slap made half of her face immediately red and swollen, and it also inspired this conflict. Some of her supporters were already rushing towards me, others were afraid of things in the temple, and some of them had said something and hurried out.
I tried my best to dodge the slaps, but I still got a few slaps in the face. If it weren't for the fact that this body had been transformed beyond recognition by Zhang Qian, it would be impossible for these people to hurt me at all.
Just as they were having their best time, a roar interrupted all the action. Passing through the cracks, I saw a eunuch in dark blue palace robes leading a large group of people into the door, his face full of fierce anger, and a thick, long whip in his hand.
When the whip touched the ground, it left behind a terrifying loud noise. Everyone had long lost the spirit they had just now, and they all stood aside like wilted flowers and didn't dare to make a sound.
I straightened my hair and clothes, and stood on the ground expressionlessly watching the eunuch with the long whip walking towards me. He pointed his whip at me and snapped, "You were the one who made trouble here just now?" ”
I hooked the corners of my mouth, and I was not polite: "Do you think the little woman's appearance looks like a troublemaker?" ”
He looked me up and down, then pointed at a disheveled, shrunken girl next to him with a whip and said, "That's you!" ”
