When she walked out of the room, Hongluan had already packed up her mood and hid the things that should be hidden in the depths of her heart even deeper, and the current situation did not allow her to be sad and sad, nor did she allow her to put her energy into people and things that were already far away.

She has to remember one thing, if she wants to live, she can't have tears: sadness is reserved for herself to savor slowly, and smiling faces should be shown in front of everyone; No one likes to see a face stained with tears every day, and it is not easy to live here, and it is not only her past that is sad.

Looking up, although there were only a few stars in the dark sky, she still saw hope; Hope is not in the sky, nor does it have anything to do with the sun and moon, hope is in Hongluan's heart, as long as she doesn't cry, as long as she raises her head, she can see the folds of hope.

The courtyard was silent, and after the events of the past two days, the Xingong slaves already knew the terrible rules.

When the yellow palace maid came out, she saw the palace slaves waiting in the courtyard, nodded very satisfied, and then went outside: Tonight, and for many other nights to come, their errands are the same.

Tonight's work was very hard, but nothing unexpected happened, Hongluan and the others dragged their tired bodies back to the room, and immediately lay down and fell asleep; No one still had the strength to say half a sentence.

In the morning, when she heard the sound of someone calling for food, Hongluan was so sore that she didn't want to move, but the big girl still rushed out of the room like the wind. Touching her hungry belly, Hongluan still got up and smiled bitterly at Liu Zhen.

"Sister, what do you care about her? She is a villain who only cares about herself, you don't fail to recognize people and be good people, and in the end, no one will help us when our sisters suffer. Liu Xiu glared at Hongluan, she was very dissatisfied with Hongluan and the girl getting close.

Liu Zhen didn't say anything when she saw Hongluan, but just told Liu Xiu to let her rest without moving, and went out to get food.

Hongluan ignored Liu Xiu's cynicism: just a few words, and she can't hurt half of it in the private room at all, so she naturally won't be as knowledgeable as Liu Xiu, and it will cause unnecessary trouble.

When Hongluan finished eating the nest head in her hand, her stomach was still empty, and she muttered after drinking the noodle soup: "It's too little." ”

The big girl didn't look up: "I'll get used to it." Her hands were as thin as chicken feet.

Hongluan looked at the big girl and suddenly trembled: "Sister, they, they leave the palace, are they ......" She didn't ask, because some words couldn't be said.

The big girl didn't speak, just chewed the contents of her mouth silently, and nodded her head invisibly after a while: "Eat slowly and carefully, it's good for your body." ”

Her words were to tell Hongluan that there would be no increase in meals in the future, no matter how much work they did; Hongluan also finally understood why the big girl always eats so slowly and chews so carefully: let the food eat as much as possible, and the body will keep it - although this does not have much effect, but there is always a little bit.

The eldest girl didn't get Hongluan's answer, and raised her head to look at Hongluan: "I've been eating like this, so I'm still in the palace." ”

Hongluan looked at his bowl silently: "What if, what if we are sick?" ”

"What is this place? You can't get sick in the womb. The eldest girl frowned slightly: "If you are lightly ill, you still have to be on an errand, and if you are seriously ill, you will be sent out of the palace." ”

Hongluan was overjoyed when she heard this, if she was sick, wouldn't she be able to leave the palace?

The girl's eyes were dark and dark: "I will be sent to a place, I heard that it is specially for the palace slaves, if it gets better there, it will be sent back again, if it can't get better, it will stay there forever; Everything depends on God's will. ”

Hongluan was stunned: Looking at God, it means that no one will diagnose and treat the sick palace slave.

"Be on an errand." The girl's voice was inaudible: "You can go out until the end of the year." ”

Hongluan looked at the empty bowl in front of her and didn't move, why would so many palace slaves die in two or three years, she finally knew the reason, but what way did she have to resolve it?

In the afternoon, Hongluan was still sleeping, she was really tired, and she had to go to work at night, and if she couldn't eat enough, she would sleep well, and she couldn't waste any rest; But she was called up by the big girl, and the Yellow Palace maid instructed her to let Hongluan and other new palace slaves learn palace embroidery.

Although there is no need for Hongluan and others to learn too much, too complicated things, and the largest embroidery is just a pillowcase, but for Hongluan and others who work at night but can't eat enough, it is really worse.

However, more than ten days have passed, and the faces of Hongluan and the others are much worse than when they entered the palace; The faces of those who have been hit by the board are even more yellow, and no one dares to ignore the embroidery, if they can't meet the requirements of the Yellow Palace maid on time, they will be punished: first beat the board, and then go to the corner to punish kneeling, as for how long to kneel completely depends on the mood of the Yellow Palace maid.

Hongluan has not been punished by the Yellow Palace maid, because she embroiders well every time; Because of this, in addition to the three old palace slaves, only Liu Zhen and Hongluan said two words in the new palace slaves: she was almost isolated by the new palace slaves.

To be honest, Hongluan didn't want to do so well, but looking at the new palace slaves who were punished, and thinking about the errands at night and the lack of satisfying meals, she really couldn't let herself be hurt: the palace slaves who were injured one after another were in the worst health.

Why do you want to learn embroidery, Hongluan didn't ask, she has learned what not to ask but to see and think about it herself; If you can't understand or think clearly, you can also keep it in your heart, and you can easily ask people without opening your mouth.

If you just practice embroidery and work at night, Hongluan can barely cope; But the palace slaves have one other thing they have to do: serve the Yellow Palace maid.

From washing your face and hair to taking a bath, not to mention other hot water, you have to burn several large buckets; In addition, the clothes, shoes and socks of the Yellow Palace maids are also taken care of by the palace slaves: the clothes given to the Yellow Palace maids in the palace are all finished products, but the cuffs and edges can be embroidered, and there are always some misfits, so the palace slaves are responsible for repairing the clothes.

The trouble is that the requirements of the Yellow Palace maid are too high, and they are changeable, only embroidering the edges of the clothes or something, it is good to say, the clothes are often dismantled and dismantled; And the shoes are more exquisite, which makes Hongluan and others tired-this is the fundamental reason why most of the palace slaves' embroidery cannot be qualified, because the palace slaves don't have much time to practice.

Like Hongluan, she was not punished once, firstly, because she had a foundation, and secondly, because she was very able to stay up late.

Liu Xiu entered the house and saw Hongluan and the big girl embroidering handkerchiefs together, so she was angry: "Short-lived ghost, think you can please you like this?" I don't think you'll be sent out in February or March. ”

Liu Zhen looked at Sister Hongluan: "Say less." ”

Liu Xiu raised her face: "I'm telling the truth, she didn't sleep almost all night in order to tie up Aunt Huang, how long can she sleep on the incense?" She's just catching death. However, it is not necessary to die early, so as not to involve so many of us to suffer with it. ”

"What am I doing with you?" Hongluan put down the needle and thread in her hand, she couldn't bear Liu Xiu for a day or two.

Liu Xiu glared at her: "How good you are, how capable you are, it's okay for you to stammer Aunt Huang, but in order to show your face, you don't even want to die, and bring many of our sisters to be punished, you are not only selfish, you are exchanging our sisters for your own life." Hmph, I'm going to see who's dead in ......."

Hongluan got up and patted his clothes and walked in front of Liu Xiu: "Woe to you, it's better for you to be careful when you speak; Let me hear that in the future......"

"What's wrong with that? I can't say what you can do, hmph, I want to say it, I don't need to say enough today; You just want to take the lives of the sisters for yourself......" Liu Xiu didn't know Hongluan's temperament, so he glared back without showing weakness.

Hongluan reached out and grabbed her neck at once, and then punched her in the stomach!
