"I'll go to the cold palace and watch the smoke."

Liu Ningyan is the palace maid who entered the palace with me and Yu'er, because she is of the same age and lives closely, so she has become a good friend. Ning Yan was the most beautiful one of the palace maids sent to the palace that year, and like her name, that kind of beauty was like the smoke condensed among the weeping willows in spring, which dissipated at some point, making people want to touch it in the palm of their hands.

also because of her beauty, Ning Yan was unwilling to be a palace maid for the rest of her life, and in the second year of entering the palace, she managed to get the favor of the third prince Pei Yuanhao and became the wife by his side.

At that time, we were all happy for the good sister, thinking that she had finally fulfilled her long-cherished wish, who knew that there were too many women around Pei Yuanhao, and she fell out of favor in less than two months, and later because of a case in the palace, she was thrown into the cold palace and never saw the light of day.

At that time, we realized that this is the heavenly home.

No matter how much we are favored, but the misfortune of the heavenly family will always come faster than the favor, and how high we can climb in the palace, how heavy we can fall.

It was also from that time that I made up my mind that I could only be in peace in this palace, and it was best not to attract attention, as long as I could survive the past few years, and wait for the emperor's amnesty and release me from the palace, I could stay away from this place of right and wrong and go back to be an ordinary woman.

So over the years, I gave up many opportunities for promotion and just stayed in this inaccessible inner pavilion.

As soon as she heard Ning Yan's name, Yu'er was stunned for a moment and said, "She, is she okay?" ”

I sighed, "Not so good. In particular, the degree of food and clothing was deducted so much that I sent her something. ”

"You lied because you went to the cold palace and accompanied Ning Yan all night?"

I lowered my head and avoided Yu'er's eyes: "Hmm." ”

Yu'er nodded at this time, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "If that's the case, I'll be relieved." Qingying, I'm really afraid that you will become the second condensation. ”

"What?"

"You don't know yet," Yu'er looked around to make sure that there was no one, so she lowered her voice: "I just heard some of their palace maids on duty discussing, at the prince's wedding banquet last night, the auspicious time had passed, and the prince and the princess had already finished worshipping, and the third highness appeared, I heard that he was drunk, and he didn't even recognize anyone, but--I heard that he seemed to be pampering some palace maid when he was drunk, but I don't know which one." ”

It was as if my heart had been struck hard, and my face suddenly turned pale.

"When I heard about this, I'm really afraid that you didn't come back last night, but you met the Third Highness, since it's not, I'm relieved." She smiled at me again and said, "Well, I just got good news from the steward. ”
