Chapter 2 [Living with Hatred]

The night sky was deep blue, and there was no sound among the mausoleums in the wilderness, only the hissing cry of the Leng family. This mausoleum forest is a place where the poor are buried, and small wooden plaques are erected on small protruding earth pits, with the names of the deceased written in hand.

Silver-white paper money was flying all over the sky, Leng Jiashi raised the paper money into the night sky without saying a word, who would know the heartbreak of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, who would know the pain of a mother watching her son die, and who would know that all this was just because of the possessiveness of the harem women, and killed so many innocent people.

"Brother Hui, you went like this, it's all because my brother didn't protect you...... You're still so young...... We're counting on you...... Now....... Your brother is useless......" Leng Su burped, smashed the grave with his soft fist, wept bitterly, he staggered home, his mother gave him a few slaps, and when he understood, he knew that his little brother was dead.

Ru Mo grabbed the collar of her eldest brother, cried and thrashed, and said coldly; "You killed Brother Hui, you brought bad people into the house, killed Brother Hui, and sold your sister into the palace to be a palace maid......"

"Do you blame me? If you hadn't thought about avenging your father every day, would you have been able to bring that father-in-law here? Even if I don't sell Xin Mo to Gonggong Gao, the people in the palace will find it sooner or later, who made us the 'Leng family'." Leng Supi sneered at his sister without smiling.

"Yes, it's all my fault, it's me who can do it. When my father died tragically in prison, who killed him? When the Leng family's mansion was repossessed, who was the victim? When Brother Hui crashed and died on a stone, who was the one who harmed him?" Ru Mo's eyes were full of hatred, and she laughed angrily, "Even now, my sister who went out to buy vegetables has disappeared inexplicably, who can tell me who harmed them?"

"It's all my fault, it's all my mother's fault, it's your father and brother, and now there's Xin Mo, I shouldn't have left the palace, I shouldn't have married your father......" Leng Jia's head hit the grave, she can't live selfishly anymore, she wants to say everything, but even if she says everything after losing her taste buds, is there still any meaning?

Ru Mo called out to her mother, "Mother, how many secrets do you still have to tell?" My mother only told her daughter that when you were in the palace, you were a palace maid who developed incense, what else is there besides?"

"The incense developed by the mother is not an ordinary incense, it is a taboo in the palace, the first queen used it, and the palace sent people out to find the secret recipe for that incense, but the mother has lost her taste buds and can not develop it again." Leng Jia recounted.

"No, mother, since it is a taboo, why did the palace send so many people to find the secret recipe for this incense? What kind of incense is this, so laborious?" Ru Mo was puzzled.

"Mo'er, my mother can't tell you, the more you know, the less good it will be for you, your personality has always been very impulsive, just like my mother said that she wouldn't let you enter the palace, you didn't listen at all, and now even your brother is gone, what's the point of your mother being alive......" Leng Jiashi kept silent, and thought of his young son who died tragically, and couldn't help crying.

At dawn, the sun shone into the small courtyard of the Leng family, and the peach blossoms planted in the small courtyard of the Leng family were hung with dewdrops......

Once upon a time, she was also the pearl in the palm of her father Leng Qiulin's palm, eating well, wearing well, using good food, living in a mansion, and a young lady with maids to serve. Daddy felt that her physique was too weak, so he specially invited a master to teach her to practice martial arts, she had an excellent light skill, which was learned from the master at that time, Daddy never disliked her for being a girl, but always cultivated her like a boy, and she was not a problem with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But suddenly one day, someone from the government came and arrested her father on a charge, she cried and asked her mother to take her to the cell to see her father, but what she saw was the picture of her father dying tragically in prison, and a lot, a lot, a lot of blood flowed out of her father's mouth, and from then on, she swore that she Leng Rumo must seek justice for her father, two years, under her lively appearance, there is not a day that is not a day of hatred!

Gonggong Gao sent a soft sedan chair to carry Leng Rumo into the palace.

The sunset shines, on the stone steps of the main hall, Shuangyan Ruicao embroidered satin clothes, gorgeous and complex delicate patterns, but it is a bright yellow background color, the elegance is peerless and graceful, Lingyun Luan and the phoenix bun are held high, and the dragon and phoenix hairpin decorated with jade and jade, this outfit is enough to show the noble identity of the lord of the harem under one person.

The charming and proud queen looked down slightly, lightly opened her lips, and said; "Are you the daughter of Leng Qiulin, Leng Rumo, a scholarly family?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the slave is the daughter of the criminal minister Leng Qiulin, Leng Rumo." Ru Mo knelt under the stone steps, bowed her head and replied, it seems that the queen mother is in charge of the Leng family.

The queen stroked the hosta on her bun, smiled, and looked at Ru Modao, who had been keeping her head down; "The matter of Leng Qiulin back then has passed over time, and now that you enter the palace, it can be regarded as the will of heaven" When the word "providence" was spoken, the queen paused, and her lips bloomed slightly, "The palace sees that you are a smart child, so I will temporarily arrange you to be a personal maid by the side of the palace, are you willing?"

"Back to the queen's mother, the slave is willing, I wish the mother a thousand years old." Ru Mo kowtowed in thanks.

The palace mother took Ru Mo to the courtyard where the palace maids lived, and dressed her up, with her jet-black soft hair pulled into a double bun, tall, even more playful and cute, a pair of begonia beads were inserted along the edge of the bun, and a pair of gold and white jade earrings were picked up, and they were worn on the earlobes, which showed off her skin like snow, her eyes were like pearls, and between her expectations, the aura was compelling.

An hour later, a little palace maid ran over to Ru Mo and said; "The palace lady has a dinner party, how many ladies are going to be invited, and I invite my sister to serve quickly?"

Ru Mo just changed into a pale pink palace maid dress, slowly walked out from behind the screen, looked at the little girl in front of her, who was also dressed as a palace maid, and smiled; "Are you also from the Queen's Palace? How old are you this year? I just entered the palace and don't understand anything, so we have to take care of each other in the future, right?"

The little palace maid saw that Ru Mo was very kind, revealing two cute little dimples, and replied with a smile; "I'm twelve years old, my name is Tangerine, and I have just entered the palace, so I don't dare to take care of it, so will my sister and I be a companion in this palace in the future?"

"Okay, Sister Tangerine, it seems that I am older than you, so I am my sister." Ru Mo smiled heartily.

The dinner was very rich, and the chefs showed off their tricks, with more than 100 dishes of powdered dishes and the right amount of exquisite utensils, creating a pleasant scenery on the table.

The queen sat at the head of the dining table, gently picked up a piece of thin bamboo shoots with dragon carving ivory chopsticks, and slowly put it into her mouth.

The concubines sitting on both sides of the queen are all dressed up in flowers and branches, dazzling, their eyes are all focused on the queen, and they dare not move the chopsticks, but there is one exception, I saw her wearing a purple and emerald long yarn, her skirt falling to the ground, a pair of golden hairpins in the bun, willow eyebrows and red lips, and her gestures are almost perfect.

"It seems that the sisters are hungry, don't move, Concubine He can't wait anymore, let's have a meal......" Although the queen's words were said to the concubines, the pair of threatening eyes were aimed at He Guifei, who had already opened the chopsticks first, that is, the lady who was wearing a purple and emerald veil.

Ru Mo took the plate covered with a gold lid from the hand of the imperial chef and brought it to the table, when the plate was placed, she couldn't help but glance at He Guifei more, just at this moment, He Guifei also looked at her, Ru Mo nervously lowered her head, put the dishes away, and was about to turn around, only to hear He Guifei say leisurely; "Sister Queen, is this little palace maid new?"

"Yes, this palace maid just entered the palace today, what's wrong, does my sister like her?" The queen didn't put down the chopsticks in her hand, she didn't have the sense of deterrence just now, and instantly looked at He Guifei with a smile on her face.

Seeing the opportunity, Ru Mo was busy kneeling under He Guifei's skirt, not daring to raise her head, and suddenly felt a pair of hands as cold as jade reaching her chin, and couldn't help but look up in amazement, and met He Guifei's meaningful eyes.

"What a beautiful face, I heard that the queen is surrounded by some talented and beautiful people, when I see it today, although it is true, but what will you do?" He Guifei's hand was lowered, staring at Ru Mo with some provocation.

"The slave and the maid know a little bit about the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are just the skin, and they dare not compare with the concubine Niangniang, before the slave maid entered the palace, I heard that the concubine Niangniang is both talented and beautiful, and the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are all fine." Ru Mo glared at He Guifei, looking unyielding.

The queen spoke, blinking a pair of eyes that were watching the show, "Ru Mo, show your talent to Sister He Guifei, and it can be regarded as a tribute to this banquet in the palace!"

"The slave obeys." Ru Mo gritted her teeth fiercely and sighed in her heart; "What a weird palace banquet, these dishes are purely wasteful for these laypeople to eat, and you can't grow your eyes after eating?"

On the rectangular sandalwood bookcase, the rice paper is spread out, Leng Rumo looks calm, dipped in ink and paints, I see that her pen is powerful, and after a while, the outline of the landscape is outlined on the paper.

"The mountains are high and the sky is far away, the fallen trees are Xiaoxiao, the waves are surging, the broken waves are rolling the sky, the geese are wailing, Ru Mo is really good at painting......" The queen looked at Ru Mo's painting, admired it, and suddenly looked at He Guifei again, and asked with a smile;" Sister, what do you think of Ru Mo's paintings?"

"A picture of returning to the wild goose, ten thousand thoughts and thoughts, it can be seen that this little girl's heart is confused about the road ahead?" He Guifei stared at Ru Mo with a smile, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and this scene was fully seen by the queen who was watching from the sidelines, and she couldn't help but show a sly smile on her lips.

"The slave maid's picture of returning to the wild goose is not confused, this goose is not the other goose, the slave and maid deliberately drew the broken arm when drawing the wings." Ru Mo pouted and smiled proudly, deliberately confusing everyone.

"You tricky and weird little girl, where did you get your broken arms? It's clearly fooling the concubine, what crime should I be guilty of?" He Guifei pointed angrily.

Ru Mo slowly took the painting and pulled away an innocent smile, "Niangniang, please look, compared to the first goose and the last goose, is it a broken shoulder?" That is, if the level is not enough, if you want to run to the front, after all, you will break your wings, and after breaking your wings, you can fly higher and farther, otherwise you will always be slaughtered by others, can Niangniang still say that this painting is confused in the future?"

"Being too smart is not necessarily a good thing, who are you referring to, wild goose with broken wings?" He Guifei asked with a sneer.

Ru Mo's eyelids lowered, and she couldn't help it, "The slave didn't mean anyone, anyway, you, the concubine, don't want to fly forward with broken wings, right?"

"Come on, this dead slave is too unruly, this concubine wants to teach her a good lesson." He Guifei put away her smile and took out the big shelf.

The queen suddenly interjected and smiled kindly; "Why should my sister be angry with a little girl, it's not worth it, Ru Mo is still young and ignorant, I'll train her well."

"No, my sister indulges this little girl so much, and she will pay it back in the future, and my sister will train her well for her sister today." He Guifei was so angry that she didn't give the queen face at all.

When the stalemate was at a stalemate, the little palace maid Tangerine came in with a fruit plate, saw such a scene, knelt in front of the queen, and begged for Ru Mo, "The queen mother is the most merciful, Sister Ru Mo has just entered the palace, she is not sensible, and please don't punish the queen mother?"

"How can this palace be punished, on the contrary, this palace still wants to arrange Ru Mo to the emperor, I have a lot of work, the emperor is so idle, so as not to wronged Ru Mo, it is He Guifei's sister who wants to punish your sister Ru Mo." The queen was clean, her eyes swept towards He Guifei, and her mouth was honey-bellied.

He Guifei took advantage of the victory to pursue, wanting to capture the old and indulge, and seize the fast road; "Since this is the case, the concubine will train her for the emperor." After that, he called the guards and ordered, "Pull these two palace maids down and reprimand them with a rod." ”

Ru Mo has been extremely well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, and her parents have never moved a finger against her, who knew that when she entered the palace for the first time, she would be beaten...... The harem is sinister, and she has only heard about it...... I didn't expect to really experience it this time...... Just blame her for being too sharp?
