It's dawn.

Ye Mei touched the warmth of her heartbeat, so real. She opened her dreamy eyes wide, looking at her wide open window, and from time to time there were a few women dressed like her and those eunuchs who had subconsciously lost her ability to be a man, she knew that she was now a newcomer to the palace, living in a palace far away from the competition for imperial power, far away, even farther away from the center of power, what she needed to think about was how to get to the place where the harem women wanted to go.

Ye Mei pushed open the wooden door and looked at this willow alley, the people who lived here were not in the decimals, the eunuchs were wearing gray clothes, and hurriedly walked past her, each performing their duties, not even giving Ye Mei who was standing in the aisle a look, no one knew her, as if she was an insignificant person.

The sky was gray and gray, and there were a few obvious yellowing leaves hanging from the old trees next to them, and the eaves were stretched out widely, tall*, with both sides upturned, and the sound of small birds chirping in the early morning could be heard in the distance.

Ye Mei suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she suddenly didn't like this place, from the memory of the original body, Ye Mei rarely went out of the wooden door, no friends, far away from her family, everything that Liu Xiang gave her was strange, she had no friends, no sense of belonging, the man who wanted her and abandoned her made her almost desperate madness, she hid herself deeply, and was even afraid of contacting people.

"How cowardly this is!" Ye Mei sighed, fortunately this is not her.

Ye Mei walked up in the willow alley cautiously, all this is novel, the willow alley is a little deep at a glance, there is a lack of sunlight all the year round, she is wearing a light-colored court costume, she walked around slowly, left her cabin, and saw countless cabins, the more she went inside, the deeper it became, and then even the wind became cold, she looked at the alley that had not yet been completed, and suddenly there was a feeling that it was impossible to finish, and after a pause, she heard a woman's suppressed cry, which came from the deep alley one after another.

Ye Mei stopped her steps and turned around and walked towards her wooden house, she didn't want to know who the crying person was.

Perhaps perceiving the rejection in her heart, in front of her cabin was playing out what she wanted to escape, forcing her to recognize the situation.

There are many women in Willow Lane, this is the first cell for all women who enter the palace, here is permanently inhabited by women who have never been favored and women who have been favored and forgotten, once such a woman lives in this cell, she will be inseparable from this cell for life, exhausting her life just to wait for a man's grace, and some people have long been gray and gray and numb in waiting.

Ye Mei looked at a white-haired woman in front of the cabin, she could see the beauty she once had from the woman's face that had been destroyed by the years, this was a forgotten woman, listening to the curses of people who were no longer men, looking at the woman's numb pupils, her heart suddenly twitched, this is her fate!

There was a bucket next to the old woman, the water flowing out of the bucket wet her body, revealing a slightly changed figure, a eunuch pushed the old woman to the ground, surrounded the eunuch in the same gray clothes, pointed at the old woman on the ground and laughed, it was obvious that they knocked down the old woman's barrel, they did it on purpose.

"These perverts!" Ye Mei shouted, wanting to run over and help the poor woman on the ground, what was wrong with that woman, why was she treated like this.

When Ye Mei raised her foot to run over, her hand was pulled by a pair of hands behind her, she forcibly retracted her foot, turned her whole body, she saw a beautiful mature woman, the woman's hair was tied up high, there were two strands of hair hanging slightly on the ears, a pair of phoenix eyes were more affectionate than ruthless, she looked at Ye Mei, this girl who had just entered the palace, even their clothes looked the same, she said to this girl who seemed to be nosy.

"What do you want to do? Don't be too self-conscious, this is not your home, and this idle matter is not something you can manage, and no one will take care of it. ”

Ye Mei came back to her senses, looking at this woman who was slightly taller than herself, she found that there were many people who surrounded and watched this scene, but no one stepped forward to help the old woman, they couldn't even see the person on the ground in their eyes, they couldn't see the woman who had been kicked by a person wearing pointy boots, she was their former kind, and the onlookers might even have her friends.

Ye Mei looked at this scene and suddenly realized that this is the rule of survival for women in Willow Lane, no one can challenge, it should be said that no one is willing to challenge.

Soon the people around dispersed, even the old woman picked up the wooden barrel on the ground and left the place, Ye Mei returned to her room, and when she closed the door, she caught her hand, it hurt so much, she was just sitting on the chair in front of the table, and someone came to knock on the door.

"Come in!" Ye Mei said, putting her hand down gently, she no longer needed pain to remind herself of the truth here.

The beautiful mature woman gently pushed the door open and came in, it was the woman who grabbed her.

"My name is Shuangshuang." She said, "You've just arrived, and you look like you've used to!" ”

"Hello Shuangshuang, my name is Ye Mei, thank you for holding me just now, otherwise I should have the same result as that woman!" Ye Mei's voice was a little self-deprecating.

"I take back what I just said, you, you, are much smarter than me, and you can see it more thoroughly than I did at the time." Shuangshuang said, "Are you afraid?"

Ye Mei was stunned for a moment, is she afraid? Being in a different mirror, can you not be afraid?

"I've been scared, but I'll get over it." Ye Mei said firmly, maybe this topic touched the softness of her heart, and her gaze softened when she looked at Shuangshuang, and people with similar fates were easy to achieve the same understanding.

Shuangshuang sighed, looked at Ye Mei's cabin and said: "I entered the palace ten years ago, and I have been living in Willow Lane, I saw the young you today in a trance and saw the young and vigorous self who had just entered the palace, and at that time I also didn't understand the laws of Willow Lane, and angered that group of ducks, do you know?" The group of ducks who are no longer men have long been twisted in their hearts, hating all the women who live in Willow Lane, which is what you call perverts. ”

"What did those ducks do to you?" Ye Mei asked.

"What else can I do, I can't afford it." Shuangshuang didn't seem to want to mention it, and Ye Mei didn't ask any further, unknown things can always make people feel far away for no reason.

After chatting with Shuangshuang about inconsequential things, Ye Mei looked at Shuangshuang's face with a little heavy makeup up closely, ten years of time still left some faint traces on her face, Shuangshuang was beginning to talk about the people and things she knew in the harem, she said that the women left behind in Liuxiang were all jealous masters, although no one was better than whom, but jealousy was everywhere.

Ye Mei looked at Shuangshuang's lips fanning up and down, Shuangshuang's face did not see the calmness when she first met, and from her eyebrows, Ye Mei found that this woman may not be one of the people she said was jealous.

Ye Mei looked at Shuangshuang's face and asked, "Shuangshuang, you have been here in Liuxiang for so long, have you ever been gracious?" ”

Shuangshuang's face suddenly turned pale.

Half a minute later, Ye Mei heard her answer.

"May it never be."
