Text Chapter 1: Aunt Jinyan
When the prosperity fell and autumn went to winter, Niangniang quarreled with the emperor again.
Jin Yan sat under the porch, wrapped in thin clothes, looking at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, stunned.
In the twelfth year of the long calendar, she entered the palace as a palace maid, and it has been six years since then, and this year, Jin Yan was sixteen years old, and the long calendar was eighteen years. It is the age of the flower bones, but he has to be trapped in this boxy world, unless he dies of old age, he will never be able to leave the palace.
Seeing the snow flying in the sky and cold and lonely, Jin Yan thought that when she was sold by her own father, she made a death contract, so in this life, she will never be free.
"Jin Yan! Niangniang's side is angry, what are you still doing here? Are you waiting to die? Why don't you hurry up and bring in the ginseng soup that Niangniang wanted! ”
There was a scream under the corridor, it was Liu Hong, the big palace maid in this palace, who was calling her again.
And every time it's like this, as long as Niangniang quarrels with the emperor, Jin Yan will always be pushed in front of people. What Sister Liu Hong doesn't want to do, she has to do.
"Here we are."
She answered, took another deep breath, and cheered herself up.
People can't live without thoughts, right? Even though she can't go out for the rest of her life, she can always choose.
Whether to choose to live happily or to die painfully.
went to the kitchen, took the ginseng soup that Niangniang wanted, and entered Niangniang's door, Liu Hong was waiting for her there, and when she saw her passing, she immediately twisted her arm and said fiercely, "You little hooves, you've been getting lazier and lazier lately, aren't you?" Didn't you hear what I just called you? ”
Liu Hong's hand was very strong, and Jin Yan was a little painful, but he couldn't cry out the pain.
"I'm sorry, the slave knows it's wrong."
She endured the pain and apologized in a low voice with an expressionless face, since she entered the palace as a slave, she had no freedom at all, and all she could do was to be obedient or obedient.
"Wrong? If you know it's wrong, you still don't go in? Next time, see if I don't just kill you and bury you! ”
Liu Hong said fiercely again, perhaps because she had a very good attitude of admitting her mistakes, so she let go of the hand that was twisting her. Jin Yan sighed in his heart, very helpless.
This arm, you don't need to look at it to know, it must be green again.
She doesn't understand, she is just a little palace maid, but she is always bullied, maybe because of this body, everyone who sees it envy the fine skin and tender meat!
Never apply powder, but always the lovely appearance of the water is the biggest enemy in this treacherous deep palace.
Jin Yan will also think that the reason why Sister Liu Hong doesn't like her so much is because she has such good skin, right?
It had been snowing for a winter, and the road was very slippery, Jin Yan looked at it, took a breath, and walked over carefully step by step, even if he fell himself, the ginseng soup could not be sprinkled.
"Niangniang, the ginseng soup is here. You might as well drink it while it's hot, so you don't get angry......"
In the palace, there is a mother's close grandmother who is carefully persuading, Concubine Chen's mother is angry, and everyone is not allowed to approach, only the most loyal nurse around Niangniang can really say a sentence or two.
Jin Yan heard it in his ears, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the ginseng soup in his hand was sent over, and Mama took it in her hand, and when she saw that it was her again, she hurriedly made a look and let her go.
Jin Yan gave a grateful salute, and was about to turn around and walk away, but Concubine Chen, who was angry, suddenly said, "Who are you and what is your name?" ”
Niangniang's beautiful eyes looked at her, the ink light in her eyes flowed, as if she was as beautiful as the stars in the sky, her voice was also very good, even if she was angry, it was as crisp as a yellow bird, Jin Yan was envious for a moment, no wonder the emperor would like her. Who doesn't love such a beauty?
But when the mother asked, she didn't dare not answer.
"Back to Niangniang's words, the slave maid Jinyan is the slave maid who sprinkles and sweeps in the palace."
She knelt down and said respectfully.
Yes, since she was sent to the palace to be a palace maid, she is cleaning people. Liu Hong doesn't like her, she has to embarrass her for everything, although she understands it in her heart, she can't resist.
In this deep palace, if you can't accept your fate, it is equivalent to your life.
Jin Yan is very resigned to her fate, so no matter how Sister Liu Hong in this palace embarrasses her, until now, she is still alive and well.
"Jin Yan? This name is extravagant, not like the name of a slave. Raise your head and let me see. ”
The voice of the mother came from the top of her head, although it was good, but it also carried a cold and noble feeling.
Jin Yan didn't dare to slack off, and slowly raised his head, just showing Concubine Chen a straight face, but those smart eyes didn't dare to lift up from beginning to end.
In such a deep palace, you have to be careful in everything, once you make a mistake, you will die and have no place to be buried.
Then, Jin Yan felt that Niangniang's eyes had been looking at her, and she hadn't made a sound for a long time. She kept kneeling on the ground, waiting for her mother to speak, to let her leave, or to ask her to do something again.
"Mother?"
Mama's voice reminded from the side. The number of times I came in to deliver ginseng soup was too much, and Mama remembered her.
Concubine Chen kept staring at herself and didn't speak, Mama was helping her out, Jin Yan was grateful.
"Mama, this slave is handed over to you."
Concubine Chen finally spoke, but Jin Yan didn't understand what she said. When she was still stunned, Mama said happily, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Thank you for your kindness! From now on, you don't have to sprinkle and sweep, just stay by your mother's side and serve! ”
Remain...... Wait on?
Jin Yan's mind was dizzy, and he didn't understand where this gift came from? She is just a little palace maid, why is she favored by her mother, and why does she have to stay by her side to serve?
But she still kowtowed very obediently and thanked her, and then withdrew, and at this time, Mama had already instructed a big palace maid named Qingzhi outside to lead her out to wash.
Jin Yan was dizzy all the way, not knowing what was going on with her, nor what she was thinking in her heart, but at this moment, the peaceful life she had always thought in her heart was finally going to be broken.
"Sister Aoeda."
It wasn't until he was led and washed step by step that Jin Yan hesitated and called someone very carefully.
Qingzhi is older than her, so she calls her sister, in general, all the palace maids in this palace, big and small, no matter which one is also her sister, low-key people, will live better.
"Sister Aoeda."
Qingzhi ignored her, and she called again, Qingzhi finally glanced at her this time, but she was still silent, and her subordinates kept helping her make up and dress up.
Jin Yan trembled suddenly, and the fear that came from nowhere made her dare not say anything more.
Qingzhi's silence was like a heavy mountain, pressing on her body, Jin Yan didn't know what the road ahead was, but she knew that from this moment on, her life was completely different from the path she expected.
She didn't know what Concubine Chen wanted her to do, but her heart kept pounding.
In such a deep palace, if a nameless little palace maid is suddenly remembered and served so diligently, it is not a good thing for Jin Yan to be intuitive.
"Sister Qingzhi, you, can you talk to Jinyan?"
Even though Qingzhi was silent twice, Jinyan panicked, but no one discussed, so he had to have the courage to call her again, this time, Qingzhi finally ignored her.
She is different from Liu Hong, Liu Hong just keeps thinking about bullying her in a different way, but Qingzhi is different. Qingzhi looked at her, didn't make her panic, nor did she feel uneasy, just said very calmly, "Just call me Qingzhi, my sister doesn't dare to be." In the future, Aunt Jinyan will be the person next to Mama, and Qingzhi will respect her aunt. ”
Qingzhi said this, her tone was flat, her attitude was flat, but she almost scared her half to death.
Her face turned pale, and she subconsciously reached out and grabbed her, Qingzhi's hand that was curling her hair for her suddenly trembled, Jin Yan was startled, hurriedly put it down, and pulled her hand to see.
Qingzhi was holding a sharp hairpin tail in her palm, and because of her recklessness, her palm was punctured by the hairpin tail.
"I'm sorry."
She hurriedly got up and said apologetically. Qingzhi frowned, still very calmly, "Auntie doesn't need to apologize, everything is Qingzhi's carelessness." ”
called Aunt Jinyan in her mouth, but she never called herself a slave, and Jinyan knew that she forced it herself.
She didn't speak, just looked deeply at Qingzhi, sat down again, and asked her to dress up for herself.
Qingzhi didn't speak again, just wiped the blood in his palm with a random cloth, and carefully did what he should do again.
Jin Yan looked at her face and expression from the bronze mirror in front of her, and looked at her eyebrows and eyes, in fact, Qingzhi is also a beauty, but she doesn't like to laugh.
sighed, sorry for her. Originally, I wanted to say something in my heart, but looking at her face, Jin Yan thought about it, and then I just left.
Human life is destined by heaven, whoever belongs is whom, and it cannot be forced.
"Auntie, it's okay."
After a moment, Qingzhi left his hand and let out the beauty in the bronze mirror, so that she could take a closer look at it herself.
Dai eyebrows are curved, red lips are small, and her face is tender, because of the long-term palace maid life, it is not so round and full, but it has a different style.
Chu Chu is pitiful, but also fresh and beautiful.
The ink hair is fine, and two strands hang down on the chest, more and more the whole person, are petite and exquisite, crystal clear, as if only one glance, as if seeing the most transparent crystal in the world, the heart has no distractions, and the world is wide.
Jin Yan looked at it in a daze, and the first feeling was that Qingzhi's hand was so skillful, and she turned such an ugly ugly goose into a white swan in an instant.
But looking at it like this, it's really beautiful, and I can't help but say, "This, is it me?" ”
A little cinnabar between her eyebrows sets off her young and childish face extraordinarily pure.
"Auntie is beautiful, this is Auntie."
Qingzhi said in the mirror, Jin Yan raised her eyes for a moment and saw the surprise that suddenly appeared in her eyes, but it quickly faded.
Later, Jin Yan thought that if she hadn't had Qingzhi's skillful skills, she would never have achieved anything in the future.
