Wake up in the morning and wash up and dry the water on your face. The fingertips gently touched the left cheek, smooth and delicate, and there was no longer the roughness of the interlaced furrows.

Unexpectedly, the price I paid for it was my life. How can a person who knows his lifespan in advance suppress the fear in his heart?

Take a deep breath and calm your mind.

The sky was bright, and I was still asleep like snow.

went out to pour water with a basin, and as soon as the door was opened, most of the crowd gathered around the door dispersed.

Helplessly raised eyebrows, people's curiosity is really terrifying.

I had just splashed the water out and found a man standing under the tree.

The peach-orange robe outlines the slender posture, and the scarf on the head is similar to the one attached to the dance dress given to me by the prince of Yuanyao. The silhouette is deep, it is the rumored blonde hair and blue eyes, I think this is the dancing girl brought by the prince of Yuanyao, I don't know what she is doing here.

Just as I was about to close the door, she suddenly rushed up and blocked me.

I had to stop and see what she was going to do.

She seemed to have a very anxious look on her face, and reached out to grab my arm, and Ula Ulla spoke a long list of languages that I did not understand.

Although she has a lot of strength in her hands, she doesn't seem to have malicious intent.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Ruxue ran out of the house without knowing what, pushed her away, and stood in front of me. "Talk, talk, move your hands and feet, want to make it bad, tell you that I have practiced......"

"Like snow." I stopped her, "She seems to have something to say." ”

Ruxue then let go and waited for the following.

The dancing girl was so anxious that tears rolled in her eyes, her eyes were originally blue, and when she choked back tears, they were like those jewels on my clothes, and they were extremely beautiful.

Seeing that we were not responding, she approached and pulled up her sleeve.

The skin, which was more delicate than white porcelain, was covered with large and small scars, but they were all pinched and bruised. She unbuttoned her neck again, and on her smooth shoulders were deep and bony whiplashes, some of which were healed and scarred, some of which were not yet scabbed, and they were horrible together.

I didn't understand what she was trying to say, so I could only stand silently.

She waved her hand, waved it in the air, and finally made a slashing motion on her neck with the side of her palm, and gradually something vague began to become clear, and I seemed to know what she was trying to say.

There was the sound of footsteps in my ears, and like a frightened rabbit, she hurriedly stuffed a note in my hand, tightened my clothes, and ran away like a frightening rabbit.

I wanted to open the note, but the footsteps were getting closer, and I could only sneak into my sleeve.

It was an elderly aunt who came to us, and she first bowed in a very formal manner, but I had to return the salute in comparison, so I bowed in a proper manner.

"The Queen Mother called the girl to come over." She said.

"Yes."

There is only one possibility that the good queen mother suddenly wants to call me to do, and that is that the matter of my face restoration has reached her palace. She had seen me as a scourge, but she tolerated it because the wound on my face had reduced the threat. Could it be that she is going to make a move now?

However, since she went to the palace instead of secretly getting rid of me, it shows that there is still room for redemption.

A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in her mind, she must have thought that I still had use value, so she called me over, and the important link between them was the prince of Yuanyao!

Ruxue yawned and said, "I'm sleepy, I still want to sleep, so I won't go with you." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh for a while, this girl is really ......

When I went back to the room, I found a dark gray jacket, which had been washed and whitened, without any color, and a black jacket skirt, which was exactly what I wanted. This dress is to show weakness to her, and such a strong woman as the Queen Mother eats this set the most.

Put on a plain white veil, take a deep breath, and then walk to the location of the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The winter is quiet, and the hall is quiet.

It's still the faint sandalwood, lingering around the dormitory, lingering.

Layers of solid wood bead curtains collide and shake with the action of lifting the curtain.

The Queen Mother likes to be quiet, so there are not many people in the palace, quietly, except for the occasional cracking sound of silver carbon in the fire.

She was half-leaning on a soft couch, a dyed blanket loose on her body, her gilded armor set aside, and the light from the window shining right on top of the armor, reflecting a blind, dazzling light.

When she saw me come in, she didn't speak, but slowly and leisurely plucked an orange, and the orange peel was thrown into the stove with white silk veins, and after a while, the light orange fragrance mixed with the sandalwood in the hall gradually diffused.

I didn't dare to squeak and stood with my hands down.

The palace maid came over with warm water, she lazily got up and handed her hand, and a drop of rose juice dripped into the hand basin, blending a faint pink.

"It's all over the place, what are you doing with your Rausch veil? When the mourning family is dizzy? Her tone was cold, with unmistakable majesty.

I quickly knelt down, bowed my head and said, "The slave begs the Queen Mother for forgiveness." ”

She took the silk handkerchief handed by the palace maid and wiped the water droplets on her hands, and wrapped the blanket around her body. "Do you still need forgiveness? It is enough for the emperor to forgive you. ”

"The slave just wants to make a living in the palace with peace of mind, and has no other thoughts, the queen mother is merciful, and asks for forgiveness." Beads of sweat gradually gathered in the palms of my hands, slippery and greasy, although I did not have any fear in my heart, but for the time being, I could not think of a perfect solution, and I did not dare to act rashly.

"Alright, get up. You can't take much care of young people's mourning family, but if you violate the boundaries of mourning, you should know the consequences. Her tone softened significantly, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Standing up respectfully, the exhaled breath formed a thin vapor through the veil.

In the palace, walking on thin ice, it is even more frightening than in Liufu, but fortunately, she is no longer the stupid girl she was at the beginning, and she finally knows what kind of means to use to protect herself.

"I didn't call you here today to give a lecture, but I need you to accompany Prince Xuan to choose the fabric for marriage."

When I heard the words Prince Xuan, I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that she was talking about Su Rong, and she was immediately the rightful Princess Xuan......

"Why is the wedding cloth accompanied by slaves and maidservants? The slave is unmarried and doesn't know much about ......"

The Queen Mother covered her lips and coughed lightly, and replied: "It is said that your mother was once a famous embroiderer in the imperial capital, and her craftsmanship is excellent. ”

As expected, it was she who wanted to embarrass me. "The slave and maid obey the arrangement of the Queen Mother."

I promised, thinking that Su Rong just wanted to remind me that I had a humble background, it was really helpless, if I cared about my identity and family background, I would have climbed to a high position like Mu Han.

"Su Rong girl is waiting for you in the secretary's room, you can go to dance after choosing the fabric, don't embarrass our Beiyan."

I hummed noomily and walked to the secretary's room.

The air was cold, and the attention was borne along the way, and the sound of doubt and disdain was mixed with shock.

Reaching out and touching the veil on his face, he felt a little more stable, obviously he had always hoped that he would recover his appearance, but when this day really came, he retreated and was timid.

There is a little eunuch at the door of the secretary's room who is distributing the silver carbon this winter, and the amount of silver carbon is divided according to the position, and those concubines who are not favored have no silver carbon at all, only some of the remaining ash charcoal, as long as it is put into the furnace, it is full of ash, and the smell of choking is overwhelming.

Lifting the heavy curtain, Su Rong sat on a rattan chair, her mink coat wrapped around Qianqian's thin waist, and the dark green color made her look more dignified and generous. Beiyu Jinchen flipped through the record book on the side, his slender white fingers bypassing a rough page, leaving a nice flipping sound.

I saluted according to the rules of the palace, Su Rong smiled slightly, waved her hand and motioned me to get up, Beiyu Jinchen's eyes stayed on the page, and he never moved for half a minute, as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.

"There is a new batch of soft satin in the secretary's room, why don't you accompany Miss Jin to accompany us to the brocade workshop to have a look?" She gathered her clothes and raised her chin slightly, looking like a master.

I nodded and made a gesture of please.

She got up and smoothed the folds on her skirt, but Beiyu Jinchen didn't mean to get up, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Jinchen?"

Beiyu Jinchen closed the record book leisurely, and his voice was clear. "There you go."

What he meant was that you go, I won't go, and sure enough, it's the prince's shelf, and he won't give her half a cent of thin noodles.

Su Rong suppressed her emotions and lifted the curtain and came out. I haven't seen enough of this good show, so I hid the smile in my eyes and followed her out.

I was silent all the way, and soon arrived at the brocade workshop.

The embroiderers of the brocade workshop are concentrating on their work, a needle and a thread, as fast as a swallow.

Su Rong's footsteps stopped in front of an embroidery girl, the embroidery girl was embroidering Bairui peony, the needlework and thread walked according to the outlined lines, and the flat stitches were beautiful on the plain yarn.

The embroiderer's fingers were covered with calluses, as if there was a layer of fog.

This is the first time I came to the brocade workshop, the brocade workshop is exclusive to the palace, every year the introduction of new patterns are for the people to imitate, it is said that the embroidery girl here embroiders a dress needs a hundred people, the workmanship is extremely meticulous.

Su Rong bypassed this embroidery girl and came to the other.

The pattern embroidered by this embroidered girl is a water hibiscus, the petals are delicate, the color is gradual, and the stamens are also embroidered with dewdrops, which are crystal clear and lifelike.

I suddenly remembered the scene when my mother embroidered hibiscus on my clothes, and she said that on the day I got married, she would wear the clothes she had embroidered herself, and the red wedding dress with cinnabar hibiscus would be the best.

And the embroidery girl in front of her is embroidered with white hibiscus, which looks a little light.

"This pattern is so beautiful, which palace is it for?" Su Rong asked.

"If you go back to the princess, this pattern was set by Prince Xuan, and after it is embroidered, it will be sent to the garment workshop, and it is said that it is given by the prince."

I was shocked, hibiscus hairpin hibiscus clothes, this pattern is just right with that hairpin, is it ...... Did I think too much?
