Chapter 12: The Blackened Queen 9
Half a month has passed in a flash, and in the past half a month, Shuangshuang will come to Ye Mei every day to sit for a while, chatting together, most of the time they are talking, the women here are too lonely, there is no entertainment, the rules require too much from them, this is the era of Haoyue, I don't know if the future development will be equal between men and women, but now it is just a delusion.
Willow Lane is connected to a small wooden house, and the bed and table in the cabin and the makeup table are matched with some matching, at this time, Ye Mei took out the handiwork that she had spent a month doing on her hand and looked at it, red and green, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
And both of them stepped on the lunch point.
"Shuangshuang, you're here, didn't I say I'm not sad?" Ye Mei said, looking at Shuangshuang with a smile on her face.
In the first half of the month, both of them carried obvious longing every day, and in the second half of the month, they put away the obviously, but they thought that Ye Mei was in a bad mood, and the women in Willow Lane outside spread the news that Ye Mei had fallen out of favor, and she naturally thought that Ye Mei was really in a bad mood, and now she was also laughing.
"I know, didn't I come to accompany you!" Shuangshuang said with a look on his face.
"Okay, it's almost time to order, let's dine together." Ye Mei said, and put down the handkerchief in her hand.
"Hey, Ye Mei, what are you embroidering, why haven't I seen it before?" Shuangshuang took the handkerchief in Ye Mei's hand and pointed to the pattern in the middle and said.
"I haven't seen it, it's just a mythical beast, it appears in mythology, what do you think it looks like?"
"I see." Shuangshuang said, "If it didn't have eight tails behind it, it would look like a fox, but this fox is so ugly, its mouth is like a duck's mouth." ”
"Because it's just a nine-tailed fox." Ye Mei put away the red fox handkerchief in the grass, it was a little ugly, but she didn't dislike it, no matter how she said it, it was the result of her own month.
"Alas, Ye Mei, you won't be angry, it's a big deal, I won't say it's ugly." Shuangshuang took Ye Mei's hand and said.
"Okay, I don't have such a glass heart, it will shatter when I touch it." Ye Mei said with a smile.
"Tell me about this nine-tailed fox!" Shuangshuang picked up the handkerchief that Ye Mei was about to put away, and looked at it seriously, as if she used action to show that she liked this pattern.
"Oh well. I once heard a myth that is like this, a long time ago the nine-tailed fox can be incarnated as a human, look like us, they are beautiful men and women, and they will use spells, one day the emperor of the heavenly palace with boundless power went down to save a red nine-tailed fox, in order to repay the favor of the nine-tailed fox has been following the emperor, in the process of following she fell in love with the emperor, and along the way bravely told the emperor that she fell in love with him from the first sight. Ye Mei said.
"And then?" Shuangshuang asked.
"Later, of course, the emperor was moved by the nine-tailed fox, and then they were together, and the nine-tailed fox became a representative of gratitude and infatuation." Ye Mei said with a smile.
"Huh." Shuangshuang smiled: "Sure enough, it's a myth, I feel amazing when I hear it, but ah, Ye Mei, I'm afraid you can't keep this veil, this fox with nine tails, if it is discovered by others, it may be said to be a bad thing, recently the palace has been very strict, not long ago I heard that the prince's mansion was killed by the forbidden army because of the possession of witchcraft, and now everyone is in danger, our status is low, if something happens, there is not even a person who shouts grievances." ”
"I see, I promise I won't find out." Ye Mei put away the handkerchief, and someone just knocked on the door, it was the person who delivered lunch.
After lunch, Shuangshuang went back, while Ye Mei packed up her things and walked in the direction of the Faculty of Letters.
In the same position on the second floor of the Faculty of Letters, she saw a Jimei who she hadn't seen for a month, and at this time, the Jimi was holding on to a book, and the waiter next to her was the maid she had seen last time.
"Jimei, I haven't seen you for a while, you are becoming more and more beautiful, and even your face is ruddy." Ye Mei walked quickly to the second floor, her pace was steady but generous.
"Sister Ye Mei is here." Jimei put down the book in his hand and looked at Ye Mei: "Sit down, what kind of etiquette do you have." ”
This is the third time Ye Mei has seen Jimeiren, this noble person in her fate, she is now the only sure that she can get out of Willow Lane.
"Sister, it's just that my sister is not sensible." Ye Mei lowered her head and said, "It's still my sister who is generous." ”
"Ahem." Jin Meiren covered her mouth and coughed, looked at Ye Mei and said, "You and I are both the emperor's women, what can't be forgiven." ”
Ye Mei smiled and said, "That's good, by the way, sister, I remember last time you told me that the spring hunt is about to start, I don't know if you have found someone to accompany you?" My sister is not talented, and she is still a little sure about hunting. ”
After Ye Mei finished speaking, she raised her little face, and a face that became more and more beautiful made Ji Meiren's eyes squint and quickly let go.
"Of course, my sister has always wanted my sister to go, and the quota has been reserved for you, and my sister will send someone to pick you up when the time comes." Jin Meiren said: "There are so many people in Liuxiang, my sister is most optimistic about you, since you choose to stay in the palace, don't waste your youth and waste your years, my sister and you are married, in the harem, we are all rootless grass Only by helping each other can we live well here, I hope you don't live up to your sister's sincerity." ”
Ye Mei nodded vigorously, the innocence on her face was very cute: "My sister will always remember my sister's kindness to me." ”
"That's good." Jin Meiren smiled, they entered the palace at about the same time, but they were three years older than Ye Mei, and Sunset saw the situation more clearly than her peers, she then told Ye Mei some precautions and asked Ye Mei to go back and wait for the notice.
The Jinmei people have recently been ready to be promoted, and she has not been sleeping for a long time, but she has been remembered by the mighty emperor, and she will have a great creation.
This spring hunt is mainly the royal hunting ground, the emperor's sons will participate, including His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is now on the shoulders of the peak waves, the hunting is the home of men, women are to accompany, plus some of the royal relatives of General Yuwen There are no outsiders present, and the mighty emperor advocates force, and even allows the princesses to learn to ride and shoot, and the women in the harem also get the opportunity to show themselves.
Not all women in the harem can participate, but those who have official positions and can be remembered by the emperor have the opportunity to participate, and they have no opportunity to invite others, and they can only be accompanied by maids, and Ye Mei also followed as a waiter for Jin Meiren.
Of course, there are also people with privileges, and if any woman can get the eyes of Empress Changqing, it is not impossible to follow in other capacities.
This year's winter is not very cold, it will pass quickly, Ye Mei was rewarded with gold and silver by the emperor for the first time, this winter is not very sad, although there are supplies in the palace every year, but the position of talented people is low, some women who have just entered the palace are cold, and their weak bodies will not survive the winter, not to mention that some palace maids who have been in Liuxiang for decades have long since died, and many people can't survive in winter, and the eunuchs in Liuxiang have long been accustomed to these things, and they are expressionless when they deal with them, and maybe curse a few words, The women would flatter them, saying that they were also officials, and that they could at least be treated favorably for a point or two, but for each one missing, maybe they would still get what the dead had left, so they didn't care.
There is no snow this winter.
Ye Mei looked outside, her face was very calm.
