Chapter 7 I see, seven
Through patient communication, Ma Guilan finally knew the girl's name. The girl's name is Ning'er, and she is a child who grew up in Anyuan, but she doesn't know if she is a palace maid. Ning'er looked fourteen or fifteen years old, but her intelligence was only five or six years old. Ma Guilan didn't know it at first, but later found out that this Ning Er lacked discipline and training. Ma Guilan taught Ning'er to tidy up her clothes, dress them by herself, how to communicate with others, and so on. Although Ning'er didn't understand these things, she was very obedient and cooperated with Ma Guilan. may be because of the long-term communication, Ning'er speaks a lot more fluently. But what Ning'er said the most was that I was hungry, and I wanted my sister to hug and wait for the child.
Ma Guilan's rations were almost divided by everyone, and two meals a day were also eaten with everyone. When everyone eats together, they all rely on grabbing. As long as the movement is a little slower, she will not be able to eat enough or even go hungry, Ma Guilan has learned to eat as much as possible. Of course, Ma Guilan sometimes secretly hides some food, because she has to be on duty at night, so she can't go hungry for a night. Of course, the master of Anyuan didn't know about this kind of food grabbing, and the first-class palace maid ate with the master, and didn't grab the food with everyone. Ma Guilan is also very strange, this Ning Er didn't eat with everyone, could it be that Ning Er is the personal palace maid next to the master? She has to wait for her master to eat before she can eat by herself? When Ma Guilan thought of Ning'er's stupid appearance, she didn't dare to imagine how she served her master. Everyone also knows that Ma Guilan often secretly leaves some food, but no one said anything, because it is uncomfortable to be on duty at night, and it is even more uncomfortable to be on duty hungry, so everyone doesn't know what to do. In fact, Ma Guilan is not alone in these meals, Ma Guilan and Ning'er eat cold rice together every night, and sometimes when the meals are not enough, Ma Guilan often asks Ning'er to eat more.
Finally one day, the first-class palace maid who was high up to Ma Guilan found Ma Guilan. Ma Guilan was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, she would only call a first-class palace maid one by one. From this first-class palace maid, Ma Guilan learned that this stupid Ning Er was a princess, not a palace maid. The first-class palace maid warned Ma Guilan not to get too close to Ning'er, Ning'er is not something that people like her can approach. For this reason, Ma Guilan analyzed the words of the first-class palace maid, and the words of the first-class palace maid were said on behalf of the master, not only the meaning of the first-class palace maid herself. In other words, the master was very dissatisfied with his approach to the little master of Ning'er. The master is the slave's god, and it is the easiest thing for the master to ask Ma Guilan to die, so Ma Guilan must listen to the master. Besides, Ning Er doesn't seem to be the princess officially crowned by Emperor Jiajing, and it is even more impossible for this kind of princess to protect Ma Guilan. If Ma Guilan wants to leave Anyuan, or continue to stay, she will have to cooperate with Anyuan's master.
Ma Guilan intentionally or unintentionally avoided Ning'er, and even made Ning'er misunderstand that she didn't like Ning'er. Unexpectedly, Ning Er didn't accept this fact, and when she saw Ma Guilan avoiding her, she cried bitterly at the door of Anyuan alone. Ning'er was originally a fool, and she was too sad, so she didn't care that this was the palace at all, so she couldn't shout here. Ning Er's cry not only alarmed everyone, but also alarmed a big person. This big man didn't come in person, but he sent a few eunuchs over and took Ning Er away like a chicken. For this reason, the first-class palace maid was very angry and conveyed the master's will, if something happened to Ning'er, Ma Guilan would be killed on the spot.
Fortunately, Ning'er was released soon after, and the first thing Ning'er did when she came back was to find Ma Guilan. In front of the first-class palace maid, Ning Er warned Ma Guilan that if Ma Guilan didn't want her, she wouldn't starve herself to death while eating. The first-class palace maid is not easy to decide, so she went back to report to the master and got the master's reply. Ma Guilan doesn't have to guard the second gate anymore, anyway, Anyuan is already poor and has nothing to steal, so she doesn't need Ma Guilan to take care of the portal. Ma Guilan's new task is to take care of Ning'er, dress Ning'er every day, and feed Ning'er. As long as Ning'er is safe and healthy, Ma Guilan will live a peaceful life. If Ning'er was wronged, Ma Guilan would be the first to be punished.
Ma Guilan finally had a room of her own in Anyuan, because Ning'er often slept with Ma Guilan, so Ma Guilan was arranged to live alone, and sometimes she had to sleep with Ning'er. When Ma Guilan thought that her good luck was coming, an inadvertent discovery made Ma Guilan tremble for a whole month.
Ning Er is also a princess, even if she is not rewarded by the imperial court, she is also the flesh and blood of Emperor Jiajing. Here she is the little master, the second person in An Yuan. Although in fact, Ning'er's status is not as good as Ma Guilan's, and she is not even qualified to enter and leave Anyuan at will, but nominally everyone has to follow Ning'er. This kind of girl can't hate her if she wants others to hate her, and besides, Ning Er's intelligence is not good, and everyone in Anyuan is very sympathetic to her. Ning'er has had a much more cheerful personality since she had Ma Guilan's sister, but she still hasn't learned to communicate with outsiders.
Ma Guilan had to bathe Ning'er every few days, but she didn't know Ning'er's identity, so she secretly bathed Ning'er with cold water. Ning'er is very happy every time she takes a bath, and often plays in the water when Ma Guilan bathes her. After learning Ning'er's identity, Ma Guilan was able to generously give Ning'er a hot bath in the room. On this day, Ma Guilan asked Ning'er to play with the rag doll alone for a while, this rag doll was made by Ma Guilan herself, although it was not good-looking, but it was Ning'er's baby, and Ning'er slept with the rag doll almost every night. Ma Guilan took the opportunity to boil hot water and prepared to give Ning'er a hot bath. After Ma Guilan put the water and adjusted the temperature, she asked Ning'er to take off her clothes and take a bath. Unexpectedly, when Ning'er took off her clothes and went to take a bath, Ma Guilan discovered a big secret.
The women in the palace are very careful, because the chastity of each woman is more important than their lives. When the palace maid loses her virginity, it means that she loses the opportunity to leave the court forever. Except for some stupid women who want to be emperor women and want to go crazy, no one wants to lose their virginity easily. Although Ma Guilan is the lowest palace maid, she was also ordered by the people in the palace to "guard the palace sand". Once the "Shougong Sand" falls off, it means that Ma Guilan has lost her virginity. Every month, each palace will inspect the "palace sand according to the custom", and if anyone's "palace sand is missing", they must immediately report to the celebrant supervisor. The celebrant will be forced to ask the palace maid who the adulterer is through the Department of Punishment and Punishment, and finally deal with the palace maid and the adulterer together. If the adulterer is the master or nobleman, the matter will be further dealt with according to the man's wishes. If the palace maid wants to leave the palace, she must first check the "palace sand guard", and if the "palace sand is gone", she will never be able to leave the palace.
Ning'er is not a palace maid, so she was not forced to "guard the palace sand". But Ma Guilan knew very well that Ning'er had never left Anyuan, and Ning'er was still well when she bathed Ning'er the first few times. The only explanation is that Ning'er cried and was taken away that day, could it be that Ning'er was bullied by someone during this time? Ning Er's identity is special, if this matter is known by the master or Emperor Jiajing, Ma Guilan will be the first to be implicated. Thinking of the strict rules and regulations in the palace, Ma Guilan herself frightened herself.
Ma Guilan decided not to report it for the time being, not even the owner of Anyuan, who lives in a place. Although Ma Guilan didn't decide to say it, she also wanted to know what happened to Ning'er. Ma Guilan bathed Ning'er, and asked Ning'er what happened that day. Ning'er didn't hide it, so she told her sister Ma Guilan everything about that day.
It turned out that that day, not far from Anyuan, a person dressed as a Taoist priest was sitting in the gate. He had just taken a freshly made elixir, and the power of the medicine was dissipating so quickly that he didn't have time to return to his residence. Just when he was about to control the power of the elixir, Ning Er's cry disturbed the person. He was very angry when he was disturbed by Ning'er, and he angrily called someone to arrest this troublemaker.
Ning'er was immediately brought to this person's side, and Ning'er's appearance of pear blossoms and rain made this man's heart suddenly moved. I don't know if it's the relationship between the medicinal power or the psychological factors of this man, this man has possession of Ning'er. One was a man who was unconscious, the other was a girl with an IQ of only five or six years old, and neither of them knew anything about this matter, and the man turned around and left afterwards. After Ning'er was sent back, no one told Ning'er how serious this matter was.
Ma Guilan asked Ning'er about the appearance and age of the man, and Ma Guilan became more and more scared. There are many people in the palace who can command eunuchs to arrest people, but there is only one man dressed like this. He is Emperor Jiajing, the current supreme leader of this palace, and Ning'er's father. Emperor Jiajing has no problem with any palace maid, even if it is fortunate to be a noble lady who enters the palace temporarily, it doesn't matter, if a certain lady is fortunate by Emperor Jiajing, this is a great blessing.
But Ning'er is different, she is the daughter of Concubine An Yuan and the daughter of Emperor Jiajing. A father and his own daughter have a super friendship relationship, which is not only bad but also big news. At that time, this was the most typical ethical tragedy, and as the creator and executor of this ethical tragedy, Emperor Jiajing would definitely be annoyed and angry. Emperor Jiajing, no matter what the purpose, will make all those who know disappear. Ning'er, the victim, would also be ruthlessly killed by Emperor Jiajing or imprisoned for life. Otherwise, if it spreads, the court will be disrupted, and the reputation of the royal family will not be guaranteed, which will become the biggest talking point for the people. Emperor Jiajing, the emperor, has already made people dissatisfied, if this matter is exposed, Emperor Jiajing has only one way to step down automatically except for suicide, and Emperor Jiajing will never do this.
