052, the secret in her heart
Xiuxin hurried over, and as soon as she entered the Moon Shadow Palace, she saw Jiang Meiguo kneeling in the scorching sun as Yu Lanqing said, and her back was soaked with sweat.
The maidservants beside her were loyal, Jiang Mei knelt in the sun, and she also accompanied her.
Xiuxin sighed, why bother, hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and supported Jiang Mei: "Jiang Meiren." ”
Jiang Mei raised her eyes and glanced at Xiuxin, recognizing her: "Why is the Xiuxin girl here?" ”
"The slave maid came to pass on the queen's mother's message, and the mother said that it was expected that Jiang Meiren would definitely kneel under the scorching sun to copy, for fear that Jiang Meiren would damage her face and body, so she would move Jiang Meiren to kneel and copy under the shade of the tree."
Jiang Mei didn't react, but Feihua cried with joy when she heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her: "Thank you for the grace of the queen, thank you for the grace of the queen." ”
The queen's generosity even offset some of Feihua's resentment towards Wei Li's severe punishment.
Jiang Mei glanced at Feihua, she didn't care about herself, but this girl must follow her to endure hardships, if she refused to go to the shade of the tree, she would definitely not go, so she also thanked for her grace, and got up with difficulty with the help of Xiuxin, and moved to the shade of the tree on the side.
Luo Wenyin heard the movement and stood under the porch to look this way, because she could only see the back of Xiuxin, so she didn't see Xiuxin's face clearly until they finished moving their positions.
"Isn't that the embroidered girl next to the queen?" Caixia helped Luo Wenyin, and spoke with a sour taste, "Little master, look, why did the queen call the first-class palace maid next to her?" The way he spoke was quite affectionate, what the little lord Jiang said was for the sake of the little lord, but the queen mother knew the emperor's mind the most, and she actually sent someone to care, it can be seen... Queen Su Rili, and our Moon Shadow Palace don't have any friendship at all, saying that the emperor is not interested in Jiang Xiaozhu, who believes it? ”
Luo Wenyin glared back at her, and Caixia hurriedly shut up.
"She was punished by the emperor, and the punishment was so heavy, maybe the queen just took pity on her." Luo Wenyin whispered, and she didn't know if she was refuting Caixia's words, or if she was saying it to herself.
Xiuxin told Jiang Mei to take care of her body, the emperor came and went quickly, and he wouldn't really be unable to get along with her all the time for such a trivial matter, so that she could be relieved.
Jiang Mei thanked the queen again for her grace, and asked Feihua to personally send Xiuxin out, and when Feihua came back, she limped and glanced at Chaoxi Pavilion, and just saw Luo Wenyin sitting under the corridor, and her heart was very uncomfortable.
After kneeling back to Jiang Mei's side, he hesitated again and again, but still didn't say anything.
She didn't say it, Jiang Mei also knew it in her heart, the manuscript was boring, and her knees hurt even more, and it was really uncomfortable to distract from talking again: "Did she rest?" ”
"Little Lord Luo is very leisurely, enjoying the flowers under the corridor, isn't he just resting?"
Jiang Mei glanced at Feihua and smiled: "Don't kneel." ”
"The slave and maid accompany the little master." Feihua refused.
"You kneel like this, the two of us break our knees together, support each other when we get up, and then fall together to gnaw on the mud, and wait until the night, the little girl will give me medicine after serving, and I have to give you a time, within three days, you will have to lie down on the bed, and when you want to wait by my side, you can't wait." Jiang Mei didn't persuade her anymore, and in other words, sure enough, Feihua's movements on her hand stopped.
"You go and pour me a glass of water, now help me keep an eye on Wen Yin, when does she get up, when does she rest, when does she go out to see whom, pay attention, is it difficult for these things to happen, do I still have to find someone else to do it?" Jiang Mei would never believe that Luo Wenyin really wanted to be estranged from her, and she must have been instigated in the middle, but who she listened to, or who she listened to, Jiang Mei still needs to investigate in detail.
Feihua reluctantly stood up: "The slave is going to pour water for the little master." ”
She only knelt for half an hour, and then felt that her knees seemed to be swollen, thinking that Jiang Mei had to kneel for two hours every day, and she didn't know how many days she had to kneel. It's all different.
Feihua left, Jiang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, she settled down to write, and the corners of her mouth hooked a faint smile.
She used to be unwilling to practice calligraphy well, her father said, even if her daughter's family is not proficient in poetry and books, but she can read and write, so she will not suffer a dark loss, at that time she always felt that the fist is better to use, and it is good to beat others to obey, what to do to learn from those sour scholars.
Later, Brother Yang inscribed a poem on the flowing water song, and she realized that the sentence of poetry and calligraphy in her belly was true, and his words were the best in the world, compared with him, her words were like caterpillars.
To become a talent who matches him, that was the first time Jiang Mei had the idea of practicing calligraphy.
"At least... In the future, I can't write crooked words on the job post, and I will be embarrassed by it. ”
After that, she spent money to inquire about Brother Yang'er's classmates, found a calligraphy that was exactly the same as Brother Yang'er, and concentrated on practicing calligraphy.
Now that she is writing, she can always think of Brother Yang'er's confident smile at the flowing water song banquet that year.
He is the most talented person in the world, if she is not in the palace now, when Yang Ge'er is named on the gold list in June this year, she will get married, she knows that Yang Ge'er will definitely be able to be admitted.
But for the sake of the status of the court, for the trust of the monarch and ministers, and for the future of the family, his father chose to sacrifice her alone to preserve.
Her wedding dress was only half-embroidered when it was cut to pieces with a pair of scissors and thrown into the brazier and burned.
and her maiden heart, burned to death.
Luo Wenyin scolded her for being a heartless person, and she had no grace if she wanted to harm her, and the two were companions together, dying in this deep palace.
Jiang Mei never thought about it this way, it was enough to have her alone and never be loved in her heart, how could she want Luo Wenyin to experience such pain again?
No one should have to go through such pain, no one should have it.
Her words are like Brother Yang'er, but she doesn't have his style, she just imitates it purely, but as long as Jiang Mei sees it, she remembers his smile in her heart, and that's enough.
Ten volumes of female virtues sound like a lot, but I really calmed down and wrote it, but after four or five days, I finished writing.
Jiang Mei's knees were swollen so high that she couldn't bend when she knelt down on the third day, so she could only stiffen up on the ground a little bit and slowly lift herself, Feihua dragged Jiang Mei's armpit with a pair of tears, and after watching her kneel, she hid in the corner next to her to wipe her tears.
Today, I finally survived until I finished writing, and Feihua wanted to help Jiang Mei up, but Jiang Mei waved his hand: "I want to kneel for two hours today." ”
"Little master, no one will know." Feihua is really angry and anxious, her young lady is good at everything, but she is dead-eyed.
"Wen Yin is out again?" Jiang Mei changed the subject.
"Every day." Feihua nodded, Luo Wenyin can't stay in the palace now, every day after lunch, she goes to Nanhuazhu with Zhao Li'er to talk, the day before yesterday to enjoy the flowers, the day before yesterday to appreciate the treasures, and yesterday I looked at the fat powder, but it seemed to be as kind as a mother's sister.
Nanhuazhu has always been the most lively place in the palace, the queen is generous but loves to be pure, except for Li Lerong, no one dares to bother, Wei Li is not bad to Nanhuazhu, she is in the position of a nobleman, seeing that once she is pregnant, she will be a concubine, and naturally someone is in a hurry.
Not only Zhao Li'er, but also Yu Lan and a few talented people from Nangong's side, that kind of place, all of them have their own ghosts and impure minds, and they caught Luo Wenyin's fool's chatter left and right, and there were always a few words that poked Luo Wenyin's heart and were listened to by her.
One wrong step and one wrong step, the only thing Jiang Mei didn't expect was that the relationship between them for so many years was broken so easily.
A grace that I don't know how long it can be stable is really more important than years of sisterhood?
"Have you persuaded me?" Jiang Mei wants to be punished, she calls Luo Wenyin every day, she thinks she can't hear her, even if she endures the severe pain in her knee at night to see her, she is stopped outside behind closed doors, there is really no way, she can only let Feihua chase Luo Wenyin to tell her what she wants to say.
"Little Master Luo didn't listen to a word, but reprimanded the slave and maid, the little master didn't care about her, people's hearts were higher than the sky, I just thought that the little master was going to drag her back and stop her bright future." Feihua was aggrieved, and she couldn't listen to Jiang Mei's words that she couldn't care about and planned for Luo Wenyin.
Jiang Mei laughed and took her hand: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, you go and bring everything you copied before, fold it carefully and put it in a box, and when the time comes, let's wipe the medicine and go to the palace to reply." ”
Feihua nodded, turned around and went to the warehouse to find a box of the right size, then put the thick paper in it, calculated that the time had come, first helped Jiang Mei get up and sat in the back room to drink water, and then brought the ointment to rub the medicine for her.
I knelt and rubbed the medicine every day, wiped and knelt, there was almost no effect, how swollen or how swollen, this knee did not recuperate for ten days and half a month, I am afraid that it will not work, fortunately, it did not hurt the muscles and bones, otherwise there is still a bitter to eat.
"The emperor is too ruthless." Feihua muttered, blowing the wind with her mouth while taking the medicine, feeling the cool breeze, and the pain could be relieved a little.
"I deceived first, and I deceived the king, no matter how I was punished, it should be done." Jiang Mei motioned to Feihua to be cautious, if these words were heard, if they were to say it, they would die.
Feihua hurriedly stopped, didn't let Jiang Mei get up after rubbing the medicine, and whispered: "Little master, let's go after dinner, when I went to look for something, I saw that the food was ready." ”
Jiang Mei glanced at the sky outside, it was still early, so it was better to go for dinner, lest Wei Li not be able to eat, and find a reason to punish her.
Her knees... You can't kneel anymore.
After dinner, Jiang Mei rested on the recliner for a while, estimating that even if Wei Li ate late, he should run out of things before getting up, Feihua was followed by a little palace maid holding a box, she supported Jiang Mei herself, because she was punished, so she didn't dare to pass a sedan chair to sit, so she walked to the Qianming Palace.
Before she was about to leave the palace gate, someone stopped her.
"Sister."
Jiang Mei turned around and saw Luo Wenyin standing not far away.
Her face was in the shadows and could not be seen clearly.
"Will you see me?" Jiang Mei stood still, it was too painful to walk, so he didn't go to Luo Wenyin's side.
"Are you going to see the emperor?" Luo Wenyin spoke, the tone of her speech was not the same as before, during this time she had been watching Jiang Mei being punished, not talking to her, not dealing with her, no longer having the idea of listening to her sister's words, during this time she felt comfortable, and felt that she could also be on her own.
Jiang Mei nodded: "If you have to send the copied ones to the emperor for review, you will be considered to be punished." ”
"Sister, the scientific expedition is coming soon." Luo Wenyin reminded her, and she saw Jiang Mei's eyes trembling under the lantern light.
Then, Jiang Mei chuckled, said yes, and turned to leave.
The road to the Qianming Hall is really long, as if there is no end in this life, Jiang Mei gritted her teeth and didn't let herself look too hard, and the palace people in the past looked at her with strange eyes, and she didn't care.
Walking and stopping along the way, when Jiang Mei saw the candle flame not far away, she breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart, and Feihua encouraged her: "Little master, it's coming soon." ”
Jiang Mei nodded, moved to the front and back of the Qianming Palace, and waited for the emperor to summon him.
Wei Li heard Wu Yi say that Jiang Mei was coming, and he was waiting outside with the ten volumes of female virtues that had been copied, Wei Li raised his eyebrows and asked Wu Yi to bring people in.
In the past few days, he has heard that Jiang Mei is so stubborn that her knees are about to fall to her knees, and she didn't say a word, which can be regarded as a bit of the backbone of the general's daughter.
When she came in, she didn't let anyone help her, she held the box by herself, and her face was wrinkled when she saluted.
"The concubine greets the emperor." After that, he held the box high above his head, "The concubine has finished copying, please take a look at the emperor." ”
Wei Li deliberately made it bad, not letting Jiang Mei get up immediately, it was particularly interesting to see her trembling all over her body and holding on, and it was so loud that she said flat and asked Wu Yi to pick up the box.
The thick paper inside was neatly placed, Wei Li took it out and flipped a few pages, and the handwriting was okay, but it was a little weird, and he couldn't tell what was going on.
I can't find fault with her, Wei Li doesn't want to toss her anymore, look at her like this, she really suffers, and next time she will know how to remember for a long time.
Wei Li didn't speak to Jiang Mei, but just waved her hand to let her go back.
After handing over the errand, Jiang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie En stepped back, now he can recuperate well in the palace.
Jiang Mei's knees have been raised for half a month, and they have been raised until the beginning and end of the scientific examination, and until the results are announced, and when the top three palace examinations are taken, they can be regarded as completely healed.
Feihua said that there is Brother Yang in the top three, and she spent a lot of money to find out, and she will never be wrong.
Jiang Mei heard the news, cried and laughed, laughed and cried in his room, and learned that he was going to Wei Li's front hall to try, and he really sweated for Brother Yang.
If he can be the top student in high school, his future will be bright.
Jiang Mei was happy for him.
During this time, Jiang Mei's mind has always been on Brother Yang'er, praying for him every day, hoping that he can fulfill his ambitions and live up to his years of hard study.
Feihua has also been wandering in front of the palace, in order to inquire about things, it took a lot of money, Wei Li didn't know about these things, but Yu Lanqing had been worried about Jiang Mei's body paying attention to her recently, and these actions did not escape Yueying's eyes.
Yue Ying asked everyone who flew into the silver and got a name, Fu Yang.
The frequency and number of times this name was uttered from Feihua's mouth was already too high, so high that Yu Lanqing couldn't wake up.
At first, Yu Lanqing thought that Jiang Mei's playmate from outside the palace had entered the scientific examination hall, and she was happy to know the situation, but later found out that it was not right, this Fu Yang family can only be regarded as a clear stream in Beijing, and there is no official in the house, how can it be related to Jiang Meipan?
A woman will only keep her beloved man in mind all the time, and Yu Lanqing will understand it in a moment.
No wonder Jiang Mei refused to get close to Wei Li with a cold temperament, it turned out that there was already someone in his heart, and he had to come to the palace as a last resort.
Knowing this, Yu Lanqing felt a little sympathetic to Jiang Mei.
They are all the daughters of Jiangmen, they are all infatuated people, but Yu Lanqing is better than her, she has waited for ten years, and she finally got something, but what she waited for was nothing.
"Look at Jiang Meiren, don't alarm her." Yu Lanqing was afraid that she would scare Jiang Mei, this matter was originally a secret that she couldn't see people, and she was accidentally bumped into by Yu Lanqing, Yu Lanqing was already very surprised, she didn't want Jiang Mei to think that she had ulterior motives, but she was afraid that she would do something out of the ordinary for a while, so she let Yueying look at it.
Yue Ying understood what Yu Lanqing meant, and in the past few days, the top three would go to the palace to see Wei Li, so she was afraid that Jiang Mei would go to see it quietly, but she would be caught, and she might be able to help her.
As Yu Lanqing thought, on the day of the palace test, Jiang Mei was going out early, and Luo Wenyin also got up early and quickly caught up with Jiang Mei's pace: "Since it is impossible for my sister and Brother Yang, why bother asking for trouble?" ”
Jiang Mei turned his head: "I only glanced at it from afar." ”
"Is my sister looking at Brother Yang, or the emperor?" Luo Wenyin regretted it when she asked, she didn't know what was wrong with her, her suspicion of Jiang Mei was rising, and she always felt... I always felt that she was indeed doing what they said, and that all she did was to try to capture and confuse the Sacred Heart.
Jiang Mei looked at Luo Wenyin blankly, and didn't react to the intention of her words for a while.
After a long time, Jiang Mei lowered his eyes and took a deep breath: "You can go back to sleep for a while, Wen Yin." ”
After that, Jiang Mei didn't listen to Luo Wenyin shouting behind her, and walked quickly towards the Hetian Pavilion.
It is the place where you can see the long road to Yunhua Hall clearly, Brother Yang, they entered the palace to try, and they wanted to go there.
At this time, the emperor had not yet summoned, and he could still see them waiting on the right side of the square, although they were far away, Jiang Mei believed that he would be able to recognize Fu Yanglai at a glance.
It was a laborious task to climb the crane sky pavilion, Jiang Mei climbed to the third floor with all his might, and after looking at the railing for a long time, Feihua gasped and caught up.
She guessed correctly, the top three were already waiting below, Jiang Mei looked at the figure standing in the middle, and couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Brother Yang, it's him, it's really him." Seeing the familiar figure, Jiang Mei's eyes widened hard, and she wanted to move forward, but she was blocked by a hard railing. Only here, not near, not shouting.
What stands in their way is not only the railing in front of them.
Feihua held Jiang Mei's hand and said continuously: "Yes, it's Brother Yang, the little master is quieter, don't be quiet." ”
Jiang Mei trembled her lips, tears fell uncontrollably, if she didn't enter the palace, if she didn't, the results of the palace examination would come down after half a month, no matter whether Brother Yang was the champion or not, she would marry happily!
That's the person she had in mind!
Now even if you call a name, you have to be careful again.
Jiang Mei clenched her fists, blurring her vision because of tears, she hurriedly raised her hand to wipe it, for fear that if she missed it in a second, Brother Yang would disappear from her sight.
She didn't know how long she had been standing, but she knew that the Yunhua Hall had opened the door, and it should have been after the summons, and the three of them entered the hall in turn.
"Brother Yang! Brother Yang! ”
Jiang Mei stretched out half of her body and shouted twice, but was dragged by Feihua, for fear that if she was excited, she would fall down.
"Little Lord!" Feihua shouted loudly, calling Jiang Mei's lost soul back, "Master... Don't look at it, slave beg, let's go back. ”
Jiang Mei didn't know where Feihua's strength came from, and when she was dragged to the wall, she muttered: "I'm here, and when Brother Yang finishes the exam, I'll accompany him." ”
And in the palace, when the exam began, Wei Li didn't show his face, he just asked Zhao An to announce the question, and it was only after they wrote nearly half of it that Wei Li was late.
He was very interested in these candidates who were about to become his new courtiers, these were all blank sheets of paper in the officialdom, and in the future, all of them could be used by him Wei Li walked to everyone's table and stopped for a few seconds.
It is not only to see the foundation of their initial discussion, but also to see whether they can still concentrate on the coming of the king.
Wei Li was the last to come to Fu Yang, Fu Yang was the youngest in the top three, but his expression was the most relaxed, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of confidence and comfort.
It was this expression that provoked Wei Li to look at him a few more times.
It was these few glances that Wei Li saw something wrong.
Fu Yang writes well, has his own style, and has his own style, but after looking at this word for a long time, he feels like he has seen it somewhere.
This familiar feeling was like seeing the weirdness of seeing a fake imitation and then seeing the real thing, and after pondering it for a long time, a name jumped into Wei Li's mind.
Jiang Mei.
As soon as he thought of this woman, the floodgates of memory were instantly opened, Wei Li rolled his eyes, left Fu Yang's side, walked to the upper seat and sat down, summoned Zhao An, and asked him to go and bring the box where Jiang Mei copied the female virtue.
Zhao An didn't know what Wei Li wanted to do, but he still went to get it honestly.
Wei Li opened the box and pulled out a piece of paper at random, took a closer look, and knew that his doubts were right.
Speaking of which, this is more like Jiang Mei deliberately imitating Fu Yang's words to write, but he can't write Fu Yang's style, so it looks weird, and it is really a complete fake.
Interestingly, Wei Li threw things aside, and when he looked at Fu Yang again, he had a different taste.
The two know each other.
Jiang Mei's secret, he seems to have revealed a corner.
