"I want to see her." Zhang agreed, obviously she was a serious promise, but seeing that the palace maid was a little older, she had no confidence to speak, and repeated again in a low voice, "Where is this?" ”

"The slave maid is called Lily of the Valley, she was an errand boy in Cining Palace in her early years, and she came here more than ten years to take care of an old lady and nobleman of Taizong, and she has been staying here to take care of the palace after her death. This is next to Ningshou Palace, which is the northernmost place in the palace, but it is a little off, but it is very quiet. ”

Lily of the valley is very gentle, really like a person who has lived in a corner of the palace for more than ten years and does not participate in any disputes, quiet and peaceful, and quickly waited for Zhang to promise to put on her clothes and shoes, helped her to Xiaoyu's house, and said with a smile: "There are two rooms in the main hall here, and two rooms on the side, which are simple, not as magnificent as the six palaces in the east and west. ”

"Not a cold palace?" Zhang promised to stop, looked at the courtyard, and Yikun Palace, Jingyang Palace is not comparable, the square inch size of the courtyard, the beams and pillars are also slightly old, it is indeed like a remote place where no one has set foot, but it is very clean, the lantern light shines to the place, the window sill and door frame are spotless, there is no spider web under the eaves, neat flowers and plants can be seen outside, Lily of the Valley helped her to the side of the house, and said with a smile, "It's not a cold palace, there is a desert, and it must be very lonely to promise to live here in the future." ”

"Don't you know why I'm here?" Zhang promised to see the ugly hearts of the people in the palace, and the palace maids who abused her when they were in Yingtai were all of this age, most of them couldn't get mixed up in the palace, and they couldn't find someone to let them go, so they gradually became distorted and perverted, and took pleasure in torturing the little palace maids.

Although she is agreeing now, a down-and-out palace concubine who was abused and beaten by the imperial concubine in public and abandoned in the uninhabited palace is not proud and noble in front of the palace maid, but Lily of the Valley is very polite and respectful to her, which makes her feel warm and uneasy.

Lily of the valley smiled and said, "After a while, you saw Xiaoyu, ask her how she made you cry and understand." ”

Zhang agreed to be skeptical, and under the leadership of Lily of the Valley, he entered a cramped and cramped room, which looked like a place where things were stacked, although there was a window, but there was no bed, and a kang was built under the window, and there was nothing else except for the old small cabinet on the side. But although it is small and old, it is very clean and refreshing, the windows are ajar, the breeze is slowly in, and the house is not too irritable in the sultry early summer.

"Master, you're awake." Xiaoyu whimpered, sobbed and said, "Aunt Huanchun lied, she said that she wouldn't really fight, but the slave was about to be killed." ”

Zhang promised not to understand what she said, so he sat on the side and asked carefully, only to know that today's matter, since she was hurriedly served by Xiaoyu in Yikun Palace, it was all under the calculation of Concubine De and Imperial Concubine Niangniang, they had no other purpose, just to get themselves out of Yikun Palace.

Xiaoyu deliberately dressed her slowly today, and waited for Concubine Yi to be in a hurry before letting the master go out in embarrassment. When he arrived at Chengqian Palace, he was found to have uneven rouge on his face, and Xiaoyu took his master to apply it outside the door, which was not a serious rouge. The fat powder was not screwed with rose juice, it was full of green onion juice, and she just used her hand to wipe the original rouge on Zhang Promise's face a few times before, for fear that she would find out in advance, only waiting for the main hall to say that the imperial concubine had arrived, so she hurriedly smeared the green onion juice around the master's eyes, and when she entered the door, she couldn't move indiscriminately, so she watched Zhang promise to be spicy to tears, and Xiaoyu was stained with those things in her hands, wiped it on her face a little, and also "cried".

"My aunt said that Niangniang is reluctant to let you suffer in Yikun Palace again, but Niangniang knows that you are definitely unwilling to leave, so I can't tell you about this, anyway, the slave maid is bent on letting you leave Yifei Niangniang, and if you go down, we will be tortured to death by her." Xiaoyu sighed and whimpered again, "My aunt clearly said that the eunuchs of Chengqian Palace would not really beat me, but they beat me to death, and the slave and maid were almost killed." ”

But on the buttocks, he was immediately slapped twice by Zhang Promise, Xiaoyu screamed and curled up, Lily of the Valley hurriedly stopped, and said with a smile: "I promised that I can't fight anymore, her ass is swollen like a hill." ”

Xiaoyu cried and said, "It's all Aunt Huanchun who asked me to do it, what does the master blame me for?" ”

Zhang promised to be teary-eyed, choked up: "In the future, I will be born here in peace, who will help Niangniang do things again, who will watch them?" The little princess is still in Yikun Palace, we are not here, what should she do? ”

The master and servant actually cried together, and Lily of the Valley persuaded her for a long time, afraid that the house here was too stuffy, so she helped Zhang to come out, telling her that she had been instructed by Concubine De, and Niangniang came here to see it herself, and knew that it was okay to live here, so she handed over people to her with peace of mind, and asked her to take care of Zhang Promise.

The status that was originally agreed to was not qualified to use a senior palace maid like Lily of the Valley, but Lily of the Valley's responsibility was originally to take care of this palace, but now that it is said that it is just to take care of it by the way, Lily of the Valley smiled and said: "Concubine De Niangniang has another slave and maid Yueyin, and the slave and maid are considered to be on an errand for Niangniang, will you be able to live with peace of mind?" ”

Zhang promised to nod with tears in his eyes, but in the end, he was a mother, and he couldn't let go and said, "My daughter is still in Yikun Palace." ”

Lily of the valley twisted a handkerchief to wipe her face, and soothed: "This matter Niangniang also sent Huanchun to tell the slave maid, Niangniang reassures you, I think that Concubine Yi Niangniang will not dare to abuse the princess, the princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, if you can trust Concubine De Niangniang, you will hand it over to Niangniang." ”

Zhang promised to look up and take a closer look at the house, much smaller than where she lived in Yikun Palace, but there should be a lot of things, I heard that Concubine De Niangniang came here to see it in person, and she was sad for a while, Lily of the Valley didn't understand why she was so sad, and patiently comforted her for a long time, only to see that she was calm, and then waited to wash, and finally had a peaceful night.

The next day, Zhang promised that he was still asleep, but he was woken up by Lily of the Valley, and asked her to sleep on her stomach, so as to pretend to be injured, and when she was ready, she heard a pink voice outside asking if there was anyone, and Lily of the Valley hurriedly greeted her.

After a few polite words on both sides, Taohong came in and blessed her body in front of the bed and said: "The master sent a slave to see you, saying that you are a person from Yikun Palace, or the little princess's mother, you can't really ignore you, so I packed and sent some of the things you use on weekdays." Last night, Long Live Lord also came to Yikun Palace to appease Niangniang, saying that you are young and ignorant, and it will be fine in the future, Niangniang will let you live with peace of mind, and after a while, I will take you back after coaxing the imperial concubine Niangniang to be happy. ”

Zhang promised to say nothing, she didn't know what to say, but I heard that the emperor went to Yikun Palace, the emperor has always liked Princess Wen Ke, and every time he comes, he will hug him and tease her for a long time, which invisibly put pressure on Concubine Yi not to let her abuse the little princess, and Zhang promised to be a little relieved.

Taohong said a few more words, and when she withdrew, she said to Lily of the Valley with a smile: "Where is that girl Xiaoyu, she followed me in Yikun Palace for a while, she was beaten pitifully yesterday, and I brought some plasters for her to use." ”

Lily of the valley politely pointed the way, and said that there was something else not to accompany her, Taohong was happy, let the accompanying little eunuch wait outside the door, and came in alone to see, only to see that Zhang promised to lie on his stomach as if he was dying, but he couldn't look carefully, at this time he saw Xiaoyu lying on his stomach, and he opened the quilt as she spoke, she lifted her middle coat and looked, the little girl's buttocks were swollen in two halves, and the gauze was pasted in several places, and the blood was faintly seen to come out, and there was a bad smell of ointment, Taohong's heart jumped suddenly, and she quickly covered her.

"You, wait here for a good time, and after a while, the mother will come to pick you up." Taohong said the same thing, and did what Concubine Yi explained.

After getting up in the morning to send the emperor to the court, Concubine Yi was suspicious somehow, so that Taohong must come to see it with her own eyes, Taohong also felt strange at first, after all, it was inexplicable for the master and servant to cry like that yesterday, and now she saw Xiaoyu being beaten so badly, and she believed it.

When Taohong returned to Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi asked one by one, saying why they were crying, Taohong responded: "Xiaoyu said that when she smeared rouge on Zhang's promise, she got the rouge into the promised eyes, and Zhang promised to shed tears not to cry, but to have sore eyes, and she was scolded by Zhang's promise for a few grievances, originally just sniffed, but was scared by several mothers, and cried stupidly." ”

"Inexplicable." Concubine Yi still felt weird, but it seemed to make sense, and Zhang Jia's was thrown into that kind of place, it seemed to be a lonely posture, or she would get people back in the future, as if she was very sorry for the emperor's tone last night, but if she couldn't get it, she could only fight the idea of a newcomer again.

Taohong sighed: "Xiaoyu was beaten half-crippled, and the imperial concubine was really ruthless." "But where did she know, Xiaoyu's injuries are swollen, and those gauze blood stains are all illusions made by Lily of the Valley, Huanchun told her, I am afraid that those few people are suspicious, especially Concubine Hui is the most shrewd, presumably people dare not move to agree, but it is not difficult to see Xiaoyu, so when the imperial concubine confessed to the eunuchs in the Chengqian Palace who beat people, Zhang promised to faint, and Xiaoyu was beaten according to the truth.

Xiaoyu also learned later that she was deceived by Huanchun, and when Huanchun told Lan Qi, she smiled from ear to ear: "Lily of the valley said that she pretended to cry every day, and refused to get up and pretend to be sick, and even disliked her when she agreed." ”

Lan Qi was very happy when she heard this, and sighed: "It's clean there, how can they do it, but poor Xiaoyu was really beaten, I'm afraid I won't dare to believe you next time." Find an opportunity to get more delicious food for her, it's hot, and the melons and fruits in our palace can't be eaten, so we want to send them over. ”

Huanchun advised: "Don't dare to be so attentive now, so wait a minute, don't worry, a few bites will not be missing Zhang agreed." ”

Lan Qi was not dissatisfied, she solved the matter of Xing'er, she only felt relaxed, whether it was Concubine Hui or Concubine Yi, she would take one step at a time in the future, and put Xing'er there, although she had more eyes all the time, but she really couldn't bear to watch her being tortured day by day, and because of this, she couldn't let go of her fists and feet to do things.

There are finally a few wishful things, but what I can't let go of in my heart at the moment is the illness of the imperial concubine. After summoning the Sixth Palace that day, the imperial concubine woke up after sleeping for a long time, and the extreme weakness made Lan Qi feel guilty, but the imperial concubine said happily: "I can make you feel guilty about me, and I can feel at ease when I go underground." ”

Lan Qi couldn't cry or laugh, maybe it was a good thing to see the imperial concubine laughing.

In the afternoon of that day, Lan Qi wanted to go to Chengqian Palace to see the imperial concubine, but someone from Jingyang Palace suddenly came and said that something from the Korean State had been delivered. Lan Qi only remembered this matter, this year's tribute from the emperor Wanshou was supposed to be in March, but the Korean national football team was two months late to send it, which is strange.
