Chapter 24: Entering the Palace
Zhang Neishou squinted his eyes and said, "Tsk, how can it be messy?" Girl, you are a homeless person, go to a certain errand in the palace, if you get promoted and rich, you can still enjoy happiness, Your Majesty has ordered, you must choose a talented woman to enter the palace, not only do you not thank our family, but also so frivolous. Come on, take them down to our family! ”
Xiao Heling waved the candlestick and took two steps back: "You, how dare you be so rude in the Buddhist temple?!" ”
"Heh, our family is helping you, it's doing good deeds, why don't you hurry up? If you continue to tremble like this, the carriage will depart! After speaking, Zhang Neishou waved his right hand, and the three little eunuchs took sticks and walked towards Xiao Heling and Fu'an.
"What's that good thing about? Are you arresting people like this? ”
Zhang Neishou said angrily: "Our Lu Si is too soft-hearted, and we don't allow our family to arrest people from the outside, but there is no way, our family has to pay a difference!" Our family warns you, don't tell Lu Si that you were arrested in the palace, otherwise our family will kill you! ”
"You-"
The three of them quickly raised their palms and hit Xiao Heling and Fu'an under their necks, and the two of them lost consciousness. The candlestick in Xiao Heling's hand "ding", fell to the ground, turned and rolled to the door.
Zhang Neishou bent down to pick up the candlestick, patted the ashes, and said contemptuously: "Hmph, you dare to go against our family." Let's tell you two that being able to enter the Shanggong Bureau is a blessing that you have cultivated in several lifetimes. ”
A few people threw Xiao Heling and Fu'an into the carriage unconsciously, and they were worried that the two would wake up halfway, so they took sweat medicine and added enough to the two of them.
"Fortunately, Su Jieyu didn't come for dinner that day," Zhang Neishou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You guys remember, saying that these two girls were rescued by Lu Sishe who met these two homeless people halfway and kindly rescued them and sent them to the palace." ”
"Yes, the little ones remember."
The bumps along the way, the cold all the way, the darkness all the way, Xiao Heling seemed to be immersed in one dream after another, each dream was so long that she didn't want to wake up.
……
The night before going out, it was my mother who cried again and again, and said: "My mother is just such a daughter as you, and now your brother has gone to the battlefield, and you want to enter the palace again, and my mother is reluctant." ”
was rescued by Sikong Jun, and heard his rich voice: "The girl doesn't need to be polite, seeing that it is getting late, I was ordered to go to the south to garrison for two months, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I took the girl with me." ”
That night, Fu'an smiled and said: "The general is really a good person, and the slave thinks that if you don't enter the palace, it will be excellent to get a man like a general." ”
On a sunny day in early winter, Sikong Jun took Xiao Heling and said, "Didn't you tell me yourself, saying that you always sneaked out with Fu'an when you were in the boudoir, why don't you even dare to ride a horse now?" ”
That evening, the glow of the sunset purple decorated the dense forest, and Sikong Jun stuck it to her ear: "I want to think about it, only by cutting the green silk, tying the red rope, and praying sincerely to this thousand-year-old tree, we will be happy." ”
Later, when he was about to leave, she promised, "Whether it's good or bad, I'll be here waiting for you to come back." ”
Looking at him in the distance, it was she who used all her strength and shouted, "I'm waiting for you here!" ”
……
Who am I?
……
It's been a long dream, her parents, her brother, and the lover she misses, they are all going to leave her.
By the time Xiao Heling woke up, she didn't know how much she had lived.
Fu'an shook her on the side: "Miss, Miss, are you awake, Miss." ”
Xiao Heling's eyes were still a little blurry, the scene in front of her was strange and neat, and her eyes were half-open and half-closed looking at everything around her. Suddenly, she thought of something, sat up hard, grabbed Fu'an's shoulders, and said:
"Daddy, where is my mother? And brother, and Sikong Jun, where did they go?! ”
Fu'an's face was not dry with tears, and he said: "Miss, Miss, be quiet, we are in the palace now, this is the Shang Palace Bureau, the division of the Shang Palace Bureau." ”
Xiao Heling suddenly felt a shock in her heart, her thoughts slowly turned back to reality, she remembered what she looked like before she fainted, she was still in the back side room, in the back side room of the Meritorious Temple, how could she be in the Shang Palace Bureau now.
"It's him! That eunuch! Xiao Heling exclaimed.
Fu'an comforted: "Miss, Miss is useless, where can we go to find that eunuch." Miss, you and I are now in the palace, things are never as simple as before, and now every step may be an abyss. ”
Xiao Heling's expression was confused for a long time, and then he gradually calmed down, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that what I missed a few months ago is still back." ”
After speaking, Xiao Heling stood up with difficulty, Fu'an helped her walk slowly in the room, this palace was originally the rest room of the Si She's room, and now Xiao Heling just woke up, Lu Si Shi temporarily left this room to her and Fu'an.
Xiao Heling walked to the bronze mirror and sat down, looked at himself in the mirror, and said, "Who am I?" ”
Fu'an was at a loss for a moment, and didn't know how to answer: "This...... Miss, you are you, of course. ”
"I'm not talking about this," Xiao Heling shook his head and said, "I can't use this name anymore, you forget, I'm a show girl who has been replaced." ”
Only then did Fu'an react and said, "If Miss doesn't say it, the slaves and maids are about to forget." ”
Xiao Heling said lightly: "Now you don't want to call me Miss, you are not my slave, we are both palace maids who set up a room for the division, and from now on, we will all be the slaves of Your Majesty alone." ”
Fu'an couldn't bear it: "Miss......"
Xiao Heling breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and walked back to the bed and sat down, looking at this strange room, his eyes were full of reflections of wooden beams and rafters, vermilion walls and blue tiles, spacious and bright, if he could sleep ten more people, it was indeed a room only in the palace. Some time ago, she was still looking at this place of green tiles in front of the Meritorious Temple, but now she is an insider.
Xiao Heling looked at himself in the mirror again, this day and night passed, and he seemed to have changed as if he was a different person, not in terms of appearance, but in his heart.
Suddenly, the door was opened, and a palace maid was full of anger, and shouted at Xiao Heling and Fu'an dissatisfied: "You, and you, since you two have woken up, don't you come to help with things, do you want to tire us to death?" ”
Xiao Heling and Fu'an looked dazed, and the palace maid continued: "You still don't know me, do you? My name is Fei Cui, and Lu Sishi has sent me to oversee you. You've slept here for a day and a night, can you have some fun? If you don't do anything again, be careful that Lu Si will kill you, heh! ”
With that, Fei Cui turned around, slammed the door shut, and walked quickly.
Seeing this, Xiao Heling turned around slightly, looked at Fu'an, and said, "I have wronged you, in the palace in the future, I will not be able to speak for you." ”
Fu'an shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you are a slave, but you are wronged...... I've wronged you. ”
Xiao Heling smiled tiredly: "In the past, I always complained that I was useless, I couldn't protect my father, my brother, and I couldn't protect you." ”
"Miss, you've done everything you can do, you can't blame yourself."
Xiao Heling straightened his back and said, "That's it, no matter how much self-blame you have, it's useless." Fu'an, from now on, the road we have taken will not be the same as before. You're right, I'm not useless. In fact, being in a coma for so long was like a dream, and it told me not to be timid. ”
Fu'an smiled with relief and agreed.
"Let's go," Xiao Heling got up and said, "The palace will be a more difficult road to take, if we don't do anything, I'm afraid we will really be beaten to death by the one in Fei Cui's mouth." Since things are already like this now, I have no choice but to be at peace with what happens, the palace is not as good as the outside, don't be rash. ”
Fu'an bowed his head and said: "Well, I understand, those little eunuchs who caught us, this account will be calculated later, let's slowly find a chance to escape from the palace first." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that all the troubles had disappeared again, the master and servant were united, and there was always a way to get through all the difficulties, Xiao Heling also advised Fu'an to be optimistic, and sooner or later he would be able to get out of here.
