Text Chapter 284 Entering the Palace
When An Wenzhao arrived at home, it was already two days after he ran away from marriage, and no one knew where he had gone in the past two days.
Mrs. An has been in good shape since that day, but because she is depressed in her heart, she can't figure it out, and she is still sick in bed.
"Young Master, you're finally back. Go and see the old lady, who has been sick for two days. ”
An Wenzhao was a little confused, so he only kept a cold face and didn't speak.
Mrs. An's wishful thinking failed to play perfectly after all.
Although Qin Liusu had been sent to the palace, she didn't expect that her precious grandson, who had always been well-behaved and docile, had escaped from marriage, and her old lady had no face to face the Wang family anymore, and her old face had nowhere to put it.
But this is the last thing he wants for An Wenzhao.
If Qin Liusu had not been sent to the palace, she could live happily with her father and mother, and she could live the rest of her life happily.
He can also listen to his grandmother's words, and is willing to marry Wang Xiaojun home, and guard Qin Liusu as an elder brother for the rest of his life, to make up for the love he once failed to give to his own sister.
But he was disappointed after all, the person who deceived him so ruthlessly turned out to be his own grandmother.
"Grandma, I just want to ask you why you lied to me." An Wenzhao asked Mrs. An who was sitting on the bed in an indifferent and even reproachful tone.
"Zhao'er, grandma is doing this for your own good......"
"I don't want this for my good!" An Wenzhao angrily interrupted Mrs. An's words.
"Grandma." An Wenzhao smiled bitterly: "Do you know, I watched the carriage go away and took Qin Liusu away. Do you know how much my heart hurts? He kept pounding his chest, and the boy's face was full of tears of resentment.
"Grandma, do you know how much I hate that palace, do you know how much I hate that emperor, when I was a child, my sister was only six years old, just because of him, my sister is gone." An Wenzhao cried as he wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve.
"Later, I finally met Qin Liusu, I thought I could make up for my love for Tian'er, I was so happy. But what about you, you deceived me and deceived her like this, and sent her to the palace with coaxing! ”
Mrs. An, who was sitting on the bed, was crying while listening to her grandson accuse herself, without saying a word.
"Grandma, do you think I don't know? When I was a child, my sister died, and because he was the prince, you didn't even say a word, and just because he was the prince, you didn't care about Tian'er's death. You keep saying that it is for my good, how can you let me accept such a 'for, me, good'! ”
After that, An Wenzhao stopped talking.
"Have you said it, have you said it?" Mrs. An asked.
An Wenzhao still didn't speak, only stood up and prepared to leave.
"Zhao'er." Old Madam An called out to him at this time: "How do you know that I sent Qin Liusu into the palace." ”
An Wenzhao thought about Xiaoyun who wanted to report to him, and said to Mrs. An without hesitation: "I was afraid that grandma would lie to me, so I wanted to take a look at Qin Liusu, but I didn't expect you to really deceive me." Since Tian'er's death, I no longer trust my grandmother in this matter. ”
With that, he went out without looking back, leaving Mrs. An alone on the bed and crying.
The day of the draft is almost over, and the show girls from the capital and other newspapers have been sent to the palace outside the imperial city dedicated to the residence of show girls.
Seeing that there were thousands of show girls reported, the eunuchs and grandmothers in charge of the selection sent a large number of people to select many show girls.
The wigs were selected, leaving only 600 show girls to live in the Lingxiu Palace.
Lingxiu Palace is a palace dedicated to the residence of the draft palace maid in the imperial city, and the palace is divided into five courtyards according to the direction. Its names are Qingfeng Garden, Bibo Garden, Redwood Garden, Cuiyin Garden, and Zhongming Garden in the middle.
The surrounding four courtyards are used by the army to live in the show girls who enter the palace, and the Zhong Mingyuan in the middle is on the hands of the house's grandmother and aunt, serving the palace maids and all kinds of miscellaneous servants who are used by the show girls.
Each courtyard is divided into its own rooms, and there are many types of them.
After arriving at Lingxiu Palace, Qin Liusu and a group of show girls were arranged to Qingfeng Garden.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone is standing here, listen to the four little masters with the same name, you will live in the same room." The mother in charge held a book and a pen in her hand, and shouted while ordering everyone to wait in line.
"Fu Xing'er, Yao Yueyue, Liu Hui, Yang Ziqi, the four of you live in Taohongju."
……
"Chen Yanxue, Zhao Rongrong, Wang Xiaojun, An Qin Liusu, the four of you follow your aunt to Lixiangju."
……
It took about a long time for the lady in charge to assign the residences of all the show girls.
The moment Qin Liusu and Wang Xiaojun saw each other, the two recognized each other.
Qin Liusu's first reaction was to wonder how Wang Xiaojun had entered the palace, and she didn't know if her brother An Wenzhao had a birth on the day he married her.
However, Wang Xiaojun, who saw Qin Liusu, deliberately pretended not to know her, this wild girl who had no merit in her eyes but occupied an important position in An Wenzhao's heart, she was not willing to look at her at all.
Wang Xiaojun had no intention of entering the palace, but after being hurt by love, she could be regarded as having no worries. She was arrogant in her bones, she already looked down on these women who wanted to enter the palace, and since she was abandoned by An Wenzhao that day, she no longer had a smile on her face, so she was cold to everyone.
If Wang Xiaojun is arrogant in his bones, then Chen Yanxue is superficial.
Although Chen Yanxue has a father who is a high-ranking official like Chen Ping, she is a person who knows right from wrong because of her lively and kind nature.
She has been spoiled since she was a child, although she has brought some eldest lady's temper and status hierarchy, but the influence of Shi Xuezhu's incident on her has made her grow a lot.
On the first night of entering the palace, everyone invariably suffered from insomnia.
"Sisters, my name is Zhao Rongrong, and my family lives in the capital, you ...... Where did it all come from? The outgoing Zhao Rongrong couldn't help but ask everyone first, supplemented by her sweet smile, which was enough to infect everyone.
"My name is Chen Yanxue, I also live in the capital, and my father is the prime minister of the dynasty. You'll call me Cher from now on, I'm used to it. Chen Yanxue did not shy away from introducing her identity.
"My name is Anqin Liusu and I'm from ...... Worry-free town, it seems, is out of town alone. Hearing everyone introduce themselves, Qin Liusu couldn't help but echo him.
"How do you know that you're out of town, isn't there anyone over there who hasn't spoken?" Chen Yanxue, who listened to Qin Liusu's words, couldn't help but ask, thought for a while, and said: "I understand, the one who didn't speak doesn't need to be counted at all, among the three of us, you are indeed the only one from other places." ”
After that, everyone looked at Wang Xiaojun in unison, and an embarrassing atmosphere inexplicably enveloped everyone, only to see that Wang Xiaojun glanced at Qin Liusu and Chen Yanxue, and without saying a word, he turned his head.
Qin Liusu only felt guilty in his heart, and he shouldn't have said this embarrassing sentence casually.
On the first night of coming to the palace, many people couldn't sleep because of various complicated reasons.
"Xue'er, Qin Liusu, are you asleep?" Zhao Rongrong couldn't help but start the topic first.
"Nope." Chen Yanxue and Qin Liusu answered almost at the same time.
"I'm so hungry, what about you?" Zhao Rongrong, who received the response, couldn't help but ask.
"I seem to have a little bit of that, too." Qin Liusu replied.
"Me too, there are so few meals here, I don't have enough to eat at all." Chen Yanxue also replied, and after a while, she said: "Be hungry, be hungry, so that when I see my emperor brother, I will be thin." ”
Zhao Rongrong, who heard this, couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but joke with Chen Yanxue: "It's only the first day of entering the palace, so you call 'brother'?" Have you ever met the emperor? ”
"Of course I do." Chen Yanxue pretended to be proud: "But it was very young, he did me a big favor and gave me a doll, I really liked him at first sight, and swore that he would not marry in the future." With that, she took out the treasure doll she was hiding and looked at it with a smile.
"That's right, Xue'er, you're amazing." Chen Yanxue's words made Zhao Rongrong envious.
At the same time, it brings more of an invisible infectious power to Qin Liusu.
The first time I experienced such an infectious power, it was on Xiaoyun, and Qin Liusu couldn't help but miss Xiaoyun again.
This maid, who followed the rules and spoke coldly to her at the beginning, was smarter and smarter than ordinary maids, so that she was much more mature.
She is exactly the same as Chen Yanxue's expression, and when it comes to what she likes and wants to pursue, her eyes are shining, and her eyes are full of hope.
And she, An Qin Liusu, had never felt like this. When she wanders, she is very happy when she eats and can fill her stomach, and she is also happy when she has children to play with her.
After meeting Mr. and Mrs. Anyang Hou, she felt the warm love and she was very happy. Her brother kissed her on the forehead and took her into a warm embrace, and she was still happy.
Even if she later learned that her brother was going to marry Wang Xiaojun and she was going to be sent to the palace, she was only sad for a while, and now she doesn't think about it anymore when she is in a different place.
"I, my family's ancestral home was originally from other places, and then my father came to the capital to do business and settled here. My father didn't want me to enter the palace, but he wanted to marry me to the bully surnamed Qin. I had no choice but to enter the palace. ”
Speaking of the reason why he entered the palace, Zhao Rongrong couldn't help complaining.
"The bully you are talking about, but the one who has married a lot of wives and robs people's girls on the street every day?" Chen Yanxue couldn't help but ask when she heard this.
"That's him!" Zhao Rongrong replied.
"It's this bully, it's so hateful......" Chen Yanxue thought of the scene that day, and couldn't help but think of her cousin Shi Xuezhu and the person named Si Jing.
Since Shi Xuezhu was sent to Mingyue Nunnery that day, Chen Yanxue has never heard from her again, thinking of this, she can't help but feel sad, and she has nothing to say.
"Qin Liusu, what about you." Zhao Rongrong asked Qin Liusu again: "Why did you enter the palace?" ”
"I ...... Me? Qin Liusu, who was pondering, had just come back to his senses, but he didn't know how to tell everyone the reason why he entered the palace in front of Wang Xiaojun.
"I ...... I never thought about entering the palace, and I didn't even know about the palace draft, but then something happened at home, and I was sent to the palace by mistake. Qin Liusu said, his voice only stopped unconsciously.
"So that's the case, it seems that the reason why everyone entered the palace is really strange."
With the end of the last voice, everyone stopped talking and gradually fell asleep.
Only Wang Xiaojun, she has been listening to the chat of the three people and has never fallen asleep.
Once, she only knew that the palace was an inaccessible place, and it was extremely dangerous, comparable to a tiger's mouth.
But now, her heart is dead, and instead of falling outside, it is better to enter this high-walled courtyard and fend for herself.
As the early hours of the morning passed, it was already dark, and with the knocking of the housekeepers and aunts at the door, the girls were awakened from their sleep one by one.
Forced to endure the feeling of being full of sleepiness, An Jia still dressed neatly and lined up in front of the door.
"Ladies and gentlemen, from the day you were elected to the palace, you were the people of this palace. Since you are a person in the palace, the rules of the palace must be learned, standing, walking, sitting, eating and drinking, etc., all of which are indispensable, so you must study carefully......"
