The past was surging in her apricot eyes, and Jiang Cailing couldn't help but stare at it, was her pity for Linglong right or wrong that day?

Memories –

In the year of Wuxu, the ninth day of the first month of winter.

It was a rare day in recent days, with skies and snow, and the November winds were not as cold as the previous days.

She and Linglong entered the palace on the same day, and they were both sold in by their parents, and their appearance was also first-class, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and the other ten new palace maids were left by the housekeeper and grandmother to be trained, ready to be put in front of the palace to serve.

Sympathizing with each other, sympathizing with each other, the two became partners, learning etiquette and rules every day, and if something was wrong, they would be beaten and scolded by their grandmother. There will always be times when they can't hold on, and they tell each other how many days are left before they leave the palace in five years.

In the end, there are only two places that can serve the imperial front, and everyone is like a mirror in their hearts, whether they can live and wait until five years later to be released from the palace two words, if they can serve the imperial front, it will be very different.

The Son of Heaven came forward to serve, what kind of scenery was that.

Besides, which of these twelve women is not thin skin and tender flesh, with a slender figure, and they are in their youth, walking around under the emperor's nose every day, and they may go to the dragon bed one day, inherit Longen, and be canonized as a talented and beautiful woman.

Jiang Cailing and Linglong have the best appearance and learn things quickly, which arouses envy and jealousy in everyone's hearts, and always deliberately excludes the two.

It happened to be the night before the exam, and when the two returned to the room after being guided by their grandmother alone, they saw that their quilt was thrown on the ground, and there was still a wet yellow-green liquid on it.

When I got closer, I smelled a little bit of urine.

A smug voice sounded, only to see Xiao Cui holding the orchid hand and pinching her nose, and said in a strange voice, "Oh, whose quilt is this, it's all wet, such an adult still wets the bed, you are really amazing!" ”

Then, everyone laughed, and Xiaohong, who had a good time with Xiaocui, said, "It's just right for the little slut to match the nest." ”

"Ahem!" Linglong looked at the wet quilt in embarrassment, and then looked at the ten people next to her, her eyes were red with anger, and she couldn't help coughing.

They were all sold in, and they were supposed to support each other, so why did they use these shady tricks?

Jiang Cailing looked at Linglong worriedly, Linglong had already suffered from the cold a few days ago by drawing patterns with the lantern outside, and the charcoal fire in the room was not vigorous, even if she endured nausea and slept in such a wet bunk, it was difficult not to be cold.

When Jiang Cailing was a teenager, her heart was far from being able to bear it now, in Linglong's words, it was just a cannon fight, and Linglong had pulled her up and told her not to make a big deal out of it, and her grandmother knew that the palace maid was going to be sent to the Huanyi Bureau if she fought in private.

His hands clenched into fists and made a bone rattling sound, a pair of apricot eyes stared at Xiao Cui with anger, and with a long step, he picked up her quilt from Xiao Cui's bed and threw it into the stove.

They weren't covered, everyone wasn't together, they were frozen together.

"My quilt!" Xiao Cui didn't have time to save it, she could only see the quilt devoured in the tongue of fire, raised her eyes full of resentment, Jiang Cailing, took a step forward, raised her hand and called at her with a slap, "You slut!" ”

Jiang Cailing deftly dodged the attack, but Xiao Cuique didn't control her strength, and threw herself into the furnace.

After the burning of the quilt, the stove was burning vigorously at this time, making a "thunderbolt" sound, and splashing sparks, Jiang Cailing just wanted to get justice for herself, and didn't want to hurt her, so she grabbed Xiaocui's back shirt with her backhand. If she was held for a second late, Xiao Cui's face would be buried in the furnace.

Xiaocui is the one who saved up this matter, and everyone else was in the mood to watch the excitement, but now Xiaocui has lost her combat effectiveness, and everyone is also a little afraid of Jiang Cailing's strange power, and the birds and beasts disperse, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Wait!"

Jiang Cailing's voice came from behind him, and the backs of the ten people were stiff.

Walking to the front of Xiaohong's shop, Jiang Cailing's shadow was cast, Xiaohong couldn't help but tremble a little, but thinking that everyone around her was watching, she couldn't afford to lose her share, so she couldn't help but raise her voice to embolden herself, "You, what are you going to do!" Go back to your! ”

Jiang Cailing's apricot eyes swept coldly, "Don't think I don't know that you and Xiaocui did it together." ”

"You ......"

Xiaohong was about to refute, Jiang Cailing stepped onto the bunk, grabbed her collar and drove her to the ground, Xiaohong didn't expect Jiang Cailing's strength to be so great, her feet were soft and she didn't stand, and she fell in the direction of the quilt full of urine.

In order to find a balance halfway, he also pulled Xiao Cui, who had just recovered his frightened face, but both of them were weak under their feet, and they both fell headfirst down in the wet quilt, and when they breathed, they could also absorb some liquid into their nostrils.

"Vomit ......"

Jiang Cailing didn't care about the two who vomited, but patted the bed and said to Linglong, "Linglong, come and sleep." ”

The rest of the people were afraid that one of their eyes or a move would make Lijiang Cailing unhappy, so they also threw them on the urine quilt, and they didn't care to take off their shoes, and went directly into the quilt.

The candle flame went out, and the room was the first to snor, and a round of moonlight shone in through the window lattice.

Jiang Cailing then remembered that today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, her brother's birthday, and a family of three may be eating fragrant eggs and freshly cooked longevity noodles sprinkled with green onion salt grains on the round table at home.

Thinking about the warm scene of her parents and younger brother's family of three without her, a pair of good-looking apricot eyes couldn't help but float moist.

The two of them were lying side by side, and Linglong noticed that Jiang Cailing was not asleep either, so she couldn't help but worry and said, "You were too impulsive just now, what if they sue you tomorrow." ”

Putting away her sentimental emotions, Jiang Cailing pulled out a smile, "If you don't be impulsive, we will be frozen tomorrow!" Besides, it's the first thing they provoked! ”

Both of them whispered in small voices, like each other's furnaces on this bitter cold night, giving comfort.

"You were so powerful just now, I didn't expect you to have so much strength, I have an older brother who is three years older than you, but his strength is not as great as yours."

"I've been doing farm work since I was a child, and on the day we entered the palace, I also helped a young master drive away a group of gangsters."

Linglong's eyes lit up, "Really? Tell me about it. ”

"I was tricked by my parents into staying in the restaurant, and they probably felt sorry for me, so they bought me a sugar gourd, and just as I was having fun, I heard the sound of someone fighting. Then I saw a little young master being bullied by a group of children, it seemed that his parents had passed away, and he was born to a woman in a green building. ”

"It's pathetic."

"Yes, I thought that only poor people would have troubles, but I didn't expect him to be bullied by such a rich young master, and when he saw that he was pitiful, he gave him a sugar gourd, and then we went to a big locust tree to make a wish, hoping that our wishes would come true. I was supposed to meet at the locust tree the next day, but ......"

Linglong knew what Jiang Cailing was going to say, she was sent to Mama and brought into the palace that day, where could she go to see that person tomorrow, she was busy changing the topic, and asked with a smile, "What wish did you make?" ”

"If I don't tell you, it won't work! Go to bed early, we have exams tomorrow. ”

The rooster crowed and dawned, and Jiang Cai still didn't participate in the exam on the second day.

Xiaocui and Xiaohong went to Mama to complain, and after adding oil and vinegar to say it again, everyone fell into the well again, Jiang Cailing was afraid that Linglong would be involved, and she took the mistake alone, Mama had a big temper, and threw Jiang Cailing into the Huanyi Bureau that day.

For the palace maid, entering the Huanyi Bureau is a punishment of destruction.

However, what made Jiang Cailing happy was that Linglong became the palace maid of Emperor Zhaohong as she wished, wearing palace clothes with good materials, and the wooden hairpin on her head was also replaced by a silver hairpin carved with flowers, and her temperament, which had always been a little timid and afraid of things, had also changed, and within three months, the previous grandmother had to count on Linglong to say more good things in front of the saint.

From time to time, Linglong would secretly come to see Jiang Cailing, take the snacks that Emperor Zhaohong did not eat and reward them, and would also bring some good coal, and there was no choking smoke when the fire was raised.

The housekeeper of the Huanyi Bureau was hindered by Linglong, and she did not deliberately embarrass Jiang Cailing, and asked her to wash the clothes of nobles and above, and most of the clothes of the subordinates were washed by others, so many other palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau were very dissatisfied with Jiang Cailing.

But he didn't expect that Linglong would be scolded by the rod for breaking a white jade porcelain cup in front of Emperor Zhaohong and punished to other palaces.

Linglong lost power, and those who called her sister and sister before all avoided it, Linglong was replaced in the north room, the windows were not closed, and there was no sunlight all year round, so it became more and more cold in this cold season.

I deliberately went to the Tai Hospital to ask for a bottle of medicine, and when I came to the room, I saw Linglong lying on the bed, her buttocks were beaten to the point that her skin was open, Jiang Cailing's tears poured up, and she sat on the pier to give Linglong medicine.

Looking at the wounds that rolled up the flesh, the two petals that should have been snow-white were intertwined, and there was no good meat, Jiang Cailing said distressedly, "The saint is really ruthless......

Linglong hurriedly stopped Jiang Cailing's words, "Be cautious, there are ears on the wall in this palace, and it was originally my fault that I broke the cup, and I happened to run into the saint who was worried about the affairs of the Chu State." Cai Ling, you are too anxious, I didn't think this palace was a tiger's den in Longtan before, but I didn't expect it to be so calculating, promise me, don't resist if you encounter any dissatisfaction, and live in peace for five years. ”

"You're not a careless person, how can you break the cup for no reason, is something happened to you?"

"My mother is pregnant, it's been six months, and she asked someone to bring me a message, saying that I should make up some money for the family......"

Hearing this, Jiang Cailing was immediately ignited with anger, stood up angrily, and said angrily, "They have all bought the sale, how can they still have the face to ask you for money!" ”

Linglong's thin white hands couldn't help but tremble, and he sighed in a low voice, "After being released from the palace, I always have to go home......"

She sneaked out of the Huanyi Bureau, and she couldn't stay long, and when she left, Linglong took her hand and told her that she had to endure everything.

Back at the Huanyi Bureau, Jiang Cailing saw the grandmother, the head of the Huanyi Bureau, and a kind of palace maid standing at the door, obviously knowing that she ran out and deliberately blocked her here.

Linglong lost power, and Mama didn't have a good face for Jiang Cailing, "Don't finish eating tonight, you have washed all the clothes in the yard, and the others will rest for half a day today." ”

After Mama left, the rest of the people had gloating expressions, "The lost dog, I don't know yet, after Linglong was punished, Xiaocui became the palace maid who served the Son of Heaven in front of her, and I am afraid that you will suffer in the future!" ”

"I'm kind enough to give you a reminder, in the future, you will have to wash the clothes and mattresses in the clean room, and the clothes of the little eunuch who flushes the toilet will also belong to you, this is what Sister Xiaocui ordered!"

With malicious petiteness, Jiang Cailing clenched her fists, and only then did she release her fists again when she thought of Linglong's words of advice in her mind.

Endure, she'll endure.
