The court, also known as Yongxiang, is the side house in the palace and is the place where the palace ladies live.

And I, Yue Qingying, is the most ordinary and humble palace maid in the palace of this Heavenly Dynasty. It has been almost five years since I entered the palace at the age of sixteen, and my life has been very peaceful, like a lake without even a ripple.

But what happened last night completely shattered this calm.

With a feeling of anxiety, I slowly walked to the courtyard in front, where there were already many palace maids standing and talking, and at the front of the crowd stood the chief attendant Yu Gonggong.

And standing beside him is Yao Yingxue, the female official of the court, and we all call her aunt on weekdays. In fact, she is one year younger than me, but because she entered the palace early, she is beautiful, smart, and has quite a lot of assets, so she is like a fish in water in this palace, and she is appreciated by the above at a young age to take charge of the court.

As soon as I saw the two of them, my face immediately turned pale.

As soon as Yu'er saw me coming, she pulled me over and whispered, "Why are you so slow, be careful and be punished later." ”

I reluctantly smiled at her, but my heart was bitter.

It's not that I'm slow, but the tearing pain in my lower body, which has not receded until now, and every step is very difficult, but this kind of pain can't be spoken, I slowly raised my head, and I saw Father-in-law Yu take a step forward, looking at us condescendingly, those slender eyes flashed with shrewdness, making people break out in a cold sweat at a glance.

My heart was beating harder.

At this time, Father-in-law Yu coughed lightly, and everyone immediately quieted down, only to hear him say: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince got married last night, and everyone in the palace was also busy for half the night, so you have worked hard. ”

The crowd did not answer.

"But there are still some people who sneak out empty! On weekdays, our family doesn't control you, but if something big happens, it's not something that our family can pass by! ”

When I heard this, I felt my heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of my chest.

At this time, he suddenly changed his words again: "However, the emperor is kind-hearted, and everyone is still rewarded." You must know that thanksgiving, the emperor's reward, that is a great blessing! ”

……

It turned out that he had come to give out the reward.

My heart almost rose to my throat, and only then did it sink down, and the blood in my whole body flowed again, and the surroundings suddenly became lively.

Then everyone walked up to him to receive the reward, each person hung two copper coins, and the people in front quickly finished receiving it and left, and when it was my turn, I also stepped forward: "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

After receiving the reward, I was about to turn around and walk back, but as soon as I turned around, I heard the father-in-law Yu behind me say again: "There is one more thing, last night's prince's wedding, some of the palace maids in your court were not on duty, and they did not go to the main hall, but have you met the third highness in other places in the palace?" ”

Wow -

As soon as Yu Gonggong's words fell, a sudden sound startled everyone, and everyone looked at me in surprise.

I stood there at a loss, with copper coins scattered all over the ground at my feet.
