Luanling Imperial City (3)

"Yes." He replied to me.

I nodded, and walked up, step by step, until I stood on the same platform as him, and carefully tucked the cat into his arms, his pupils shook, but he didn't say anything.

I explained seriously: "Hug it, you must hide it if you secretly raise a cat, this is found in the palace, you have to lose your skin if you don't die, be careful!" ”

He took the cat and looked at me suspiciously, I didn't think he looked particularly right, but he just asked, "Don't you know me?" ”

"Should I know you? Are you a famous minister or a hero? If you report your name and hear about it, you may have heard of it. "The cat is in his arms, I am still reluctant, and I touched it twice, its fur is very soft, and it looks like the owner is raising it well, and it is very comfortable to touch.

He paused, with a little disdain, and snorted coldly, "Neither." ”

"Don't you expect me to know you?" I withdrew my hand and suddenly remembered something and said, "That's right!" You said it was called Mung Bean, did you take such a cute name? Why is it called mung bean? Is it because it loves to eat mung beans? ”

"How can a cat like to eat mung beans, you are stupid?" He reacted quickly and replied immediately, with a look of disdain for me.

I pouted, I haven't had a cat, how do I know if it eats or not, I didn't bother to argue with him, so I said "oh".

He touched the cat, and the mung bean barked, and he lay on his stomach again, and he explained to me, "It's because one of its eyes is green, a lot like a mung bean, so that's what I called." ”

"Then the other eye is still yellow, why don't you call it soybeans, besides, I think this green is more like jade, or green agate." I casually answered.

"It's not good, it's boring, it's not cute enough, and it doesn't fit the temperament of mung beans." He picked up faster than I did, and he was sharp enough to reply.

Me: "......"

You win, big brother, you win!

I was speechless, I didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so I waved my hand to him, left, came out for so long, in case the emperor came with news, I was not there, it would be over.

I went, and went back down my path, but when I turned around, I found him still standing there, motionless, a lonely figure, dressed so little, with a cat in his arms.

I shook my head, turned a corner, and I couldn't see him.

I don't know who he is, and I don't know if I'll ever see him again.

I already plan to survive in the Imperial City, no longer expect anything, no longer rely on anyone, and I will correct the mistakes I made when I was naΓ―ve and ignorant before.

I will work hard to learn court etiquette, work hard to atone for my sins, and no longer embarrass the Luo family, I carry the name of the eldest lady of the Luo family, I don't want others to mention it, it is a shame.

I will learn to grow, I will be sensible, and I will live in the palace.

Fortunately, I remember the way back, and I turned around, and let me turn back.

As soon as I went back, before I sat down to rest, I heard someone knock on the door, knocked twice, and heard the voice of a palace maid outside the door: "Miss Luo, I'll deliver food." ”

"Okay, here." I immediately got up to open the door, opened the door, and saw her with her head down, not daring to look at me directly, holding a food box in her hand, handing it to me, I took it, and thanked her, she seemed to be quite frightened, nodded quickly, but didn't say anything, turned around and walked away quickly.

She is the palace maid who brought me in yesterday, she looks delicate and delicate, and she is a little childish, and she doesn't look very old.

I smiled slightly, closed the door, and went back with the food box, the breakfast in the palace was really good, the porridge was not white porridge, with flax and peanuts, some fragrance, soft and glutinous, delicious and not greasy.

There are also some side dishes, which are eaten with more flavor.

There are six divisions in the palace, which are responsible for the etiquette, clothing, music, food, books and medicine of the emperor and the harem, and the breakfast is prepared by the food secretary who is in charge of eating.

After a while, the palace maid came to collect the food box, she first knocked on my door gently, very gentle movements, I answered, she pushed it open, she stood at the door, slightly blessed, and then said: "Miss Luo, I'll collect the food box." ”

"Okay, excuse me, please come in." I replied, in fact, I have already packed it for her, and I just need to take it away.

She stepped through the door, picked up the food box, stepped aside, bowed to me, and prepared to retreat.

Although I looked very uncomfortable, this was the etiquette in the palace, and I couldn't say anything, so I casually asked: "This sister, what is your name?" ”

When she heard me talking to her, she stopped.

"The slave's name is Bishui, Miss Luo is polite, just call me Bishui." She lowered her head and said, her voice was very gentle, and she did not dare to speak loudly.

I said yes, and she silently withdrew.

I sighed in my heart, I don't want to be like this in the future, only promised, timid, and have to be so respectful to everyone, but I am so humble.

But there is no news from the emperor's side so far, I'm still very anxious, this hour should be in the early dynasty, and then come to deal with me after the early dynasty?

As long as it is not a crime of breaking hands and feet, killing people and raiding homes, I can accept it.

I don't dare to go out and wander around this time, there are a lot of people in the palace during the day, don't go out and offend any master, even if it is a lower ceremony, it is also the emperor's concubine, and if I do something wrong, then I will really be guilty.

I was so anxious that I sat on pins and needles, waiting for the minutes and seconds to pass, until the sun passed at noon, until the sun went down.

Finally, the condemning decree came.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and I was sitting down in a hurry when I heard a palace maid announce: Manager Li is here!

I immediately got up and went to open the door, and I saw a middle-aged man, wearing a blue-black eunuch suit and a hat, walking briskly towards me, he pointed at me with his orchid fingers, and I immediately understood what it meant.

I knelt down, put my hands on my forehead, knocked to the ground, and said, "Luo Qinlin, the daughter of the Luo family in Lancheng, is here to receive the punishment." ”

"Get up!" He said in a high-pitched voice, and I straightened up and looked at him, and he was standing in front of me, with his head up, not looking at me.

He said softly: "According to the emperor's instructions, Luo Qin, the daughter of the Luo family, fled the general election and was disrespectful to the emperor. ”

I looked at him in surprise, this result is a thousand times better than I expected, there is no punishment, no blame, no involvement of the Luo family, no need to see the emperor, just become an ordinary palace maid, ask me to do things seriously, this result could not be better.

I kowtowed again and shouted, "Thank you for the emperor's order!" Luo Qin is punished! ”

"Luo Qinlin, this is the emperor giving the Luo family face, you can do a good job in the food department!" Manager Li explained to me.

I replied, "Got it, thank you, Mr. Li." ”

Seeing my sincere attitude, Manager Li nodded with satisfaction, he waved his hand, and the palace maid behind him walked up, she was still holding two clothes in her hands, looking at this costume, it should be the style of a high-class palace maid.

I took it with both hands, and I couldn't help but grasp the clothes in my hands, and I saw a wooden hairpin on the clothes, with some simple patterns engraved on it.
