CHAPTER XIV
I heard that as long as the palace maids in the palace were at least 25 years old, they could leave the palace and go home, so I thought that as long as I was a little more patient, I could stay in Xinzheku until I left the palace. I didn't expect that I would actually meet Prince Xiang Bogol, the person to whom Yuqin belongs.
At that time, I had just finished drying the laundry, but when I turned around, I heard the sound of the hanger loose, and I subconsciously covered my head with my hands, but I was held by a person and dodged to the side.
"You guys are so bold!" Looking at his serious expression, listening to the way he reprimanded the palace people, he felt very majestic, no wonder Sister Yuqin would fall in love with him. Such an elegant and heroic, unruly and suave man will be the dream lover of thousands of boudoir daughters. But when she reprimanded the palace people for being Han and daring to offend the Manchus, my heart suddenly became a little cold. Now the imperial court advocates the Manchu and Han families, but unfair treatment can still be seen everywhere.
"Sister Liangxi, I was entrusted by you to meet Sister Yuqin today to see if you are okay." Bogol handed me a letter, pinching the letter handed to me by Sister Yuqin, I couldn't help but go crazy, thinking that my godfather Sister Yuqin must be very worried about my safety at home, tears couldn't help but roll in my eyes, I didn't want Bogol to see it, so I turned around and secretly wiped it away with water.
Touching the two words Yuqin with beautiful handwriting on the envelope, my heart was very warm. After a long time, I turned around and bowed my head and thanked: "Thank you Lord Wang today, please tell Sister Yuqin and Ama Eniang, just say that everything is fine in the palace, please don't worry about me." I looked up and saw Bogol staring at me in a daze, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. I coughed lightly, and when I saw that the prince had come back to his senses, I said, "If the prince has nothing else to do, please leave." I didn't expect him to leave without the slightest intention of leaving, while rolling up his sleeves and shouting what to help me work, after seeing the ambiguity in the eyes of the prince, I was a little uneasy, and I didn't dare to stay with the prince longer, I had to bow down and salute, and after repeatedly pushing off, the prince left a sentence of "good self-cherishing" and left.
Looking at the back of him leaving, I feel a little sad, I wonder if Prince Xiang has Sister Yuqin in his heart? If not...... Before he had time to think about the result, a group of palace maids from Xin Zheku surrounded him.
"Liangxi, when will you still have a relationship with Prince Xiang?"
"The prince shouldn't be interesting to you, right?"
"Liangxi, I was bad before, I did too much to you, you don't care about villains, let's be friends in the future......" The gossip chirped and made my head big and impatient.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" Just as they were shouting and cheering, the queen came. I never thought the Queen would come to this place. What I didn't expect was that the queen still remembered me, and Cui'er beside her actually smiled and said that she wanted me to go back to serve the emperor. Looking at the hand she handed over, I couldn't understand what the queen's intentions were, and I didn't want to be the emperor's woman, so I refused. The queen mother was very surprised when she heard this, and she came to persuade me in person, listening to the queen's words that seemed to be thinking about me, I could only say that I was afraid that I would not serve the emperor well if I was stupid. The queen was a little angry when she left, Jing Zhen was puzzled by my attitude towards me after the queen left, I only told her that the harem was sinister, and it was better to be a simple maid than a mother.
It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce. Most of the people in Xin's Curry fell asleep, snoring after a tiring day.
Jing Zhen and I sat on the steps of the courtyard, and by the silver glittering moonlight, we opened the letter that Sister Yuqin had written to me.
"My sister Liangxi:
Since you left home, Ama Eniang and I have been very concerned about you. We didn't see you that day, and we didn't see the proclamation selected, and we were all in a hurry. I don't know what went wrong with you in the draft, but you were punished by the palace? Ama looked for news of you everywhere, but was assigned by the emperor to go south to fight.
I think you'd be safe if you read it. I'm going to ask Bogol to find you and give you this letter, if you have any troubles and difficulties, you can let Bogol help, he's a good man, a gentleman.
The feeling of missing is beyond words, my sister and Amma, Eniang, we are all waiting for you, waiting for you to go home safely.
Yuqin"
"Sister, what's written in this letter?" Jing Zhen opened her eyes curiously and looked at it curiously, and after making trouble for a long time, she was illiterate at all.
"It's the family at home who cares about me." I smiled at Jing Zhen, raised my head, looked at the full moon in the sky, and held back the tears in my eyes by the way.
"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. "Singing the water tune, thinking about Su Shi, he is really brilliant and optimistic.
"Sister Liangxi, what do you mean by the poem?" Looking at Jing Zhen's eyes full of curiosity, I asked her on a whim, "Is it good for my sister to teach you to read?" Seeing her nod happily, I stood up, picked up two branches from under the lush plane tree in the corner of the yard, and handed one to Jingzhen.
"From now on, I will be your master. In the future, I will teach you to read and hyphenate, and you must learn it seriously. ”
"Hmm!" Jing Zhen couldn't hide her excitement, nodded her head non-stop, but she barely jumped up.
It turns out that Jing Zhen is gifted and intelligent, and the two lines of poetry I wrote on the ground, she recognized all the words in a short time, although the words she copied were crooked like earthworms, but they were already great.
"People have ...... Joys and sorrows, the moon has ...... The matter is ...... It's hard to be ancient. But...... Sincere...... People are long-lasting, thousands of miles ...... Common...... Chanjuan. Jing Zhen stumbled and chanted the poem I taught her, smiling all over her face.
The meaning of this sentence is: 'People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has the change of clouds and sunshines, and this kind of thing has been difficult to understand since ancient times. I only hope that the relatives of all people in this world can be safe and healthy, even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can share this beautiful moonlight. I touched her head and explained to her sentence by sentence, and although she looked serious, she closed her eyes as she listened. It looks like I'm really sleepy.
The night breeze was cool, looking at Jing Zhen who was asleep on my shoulder, my heart was quiet and soft. The people who care about themselves and the people who care about themselves, as long as they are safe and sound, it doesn't matter if they can be together.
"Mother, father, do you say that's the case?"
