Chapter 22: The Magpie
"Is that one in the Qiongzhi Hall out of favor? I haven't seen His Majesty come here in the past half a month......"
"What nonsense? When did you spoil it, hee hee ......"
The laughter of the two little palace maids passed through the plum blossoms in the garden, and it seemed a little sharp.
"I'll teach them a lesson." Liu Nu frowned, his face was very ugly, and he spoke angrily.
Ahya stopped her and shook her head slightly, her eyes falling on the plum blossoms that were blooming brightly, deep and obscure, but the strength of her fingertips was a little stronger.
The convoy staggered for a month before returning to the capital from Wancheng.
Xie Yu didn't give her any name, but just arranged her in the Qiongzhi Hall next to the imperial palace, adjacent to a plum garden.
This unruly behavior caused an uproar in the palace for a while, and all the palaces raised their hearts and couldn't figure out the king's thoughts.
It is said that it is valued, and there is no canonization. Say you don't pay attention to ...... can also cross the rules and live next to the emperor, which is closer than the Changning Palace where the queen should live.
From the concubines to the slaves, everyone was either afraid of her, the woman brought back by the emperor's tour, or curious, in short, no one wanted to touch the details of Ahya.
After half a month like this, Xie Yu seemed to have forgotten Ahya, and never went to Qiongzhi Hall to visit or summon him.
The hearts of everyone in the palace have gradually relaxed, and these days, even the palace people who are serving in the Qiongzhi Hall are obviously not caring a lot.
But none of this matters, the person who sees the wind and rudder will also fall the fastest in her direction.
Ahya's gaze deepened a little.
This cold reception after being set up and ignored, she had experienced exactly the same thing in her previous life.
At first, it was the yang and yin of the palace people, and then, the embarrassment from the harem pressed her into the mud.
In Xie Wei's harem, there are only two high-ranking concubines, namely Concubine De and Concubine Shu. The mothers of these two people are all old ministers who have followed Xie Wei all the way to conquer the country, and now one is a prime minister and the other is a general, sharing the power of military and political affairs.
One of them is arrogant and domineering, humiliating her in every way, and a Buddha has a snake heart, secretly deducting her usefulness.
She shivered in the cold winter hall without charcoals, and waited for a bowl of spoiled scraps in the middle of the night, and in the cold eyes of everyone—she lived like a joke in the palace.
Anyone can step on her. Even if it is just a servant girl beside the favored Yun Meiren, she can make her kneel in the snow for three hours.
She closed her eyes and breathed deeply to hide her hatred.
She just broke a plum blossom!
A plum blossom is enough for her to be beaten as a thief in front of everyone, and she kneels on the ground with no dignity, like a dog!
She is the princess of Beijung, the eagle of the grassland...... Why did you end up here?!
It's just because Xie Jian needs a target, an arrogant and domineering demon concubine who offends all the concubines, but he is favored by him at the "top of his heart".
Until then, he had to polish her sharpness, pluck out her minions, and let her see clearly - in this harem, she could only rely on him to live.
Then she doesn't mind adding a fire to this big situation.
- She will let Xie Jian know that she is good enough to use, and that she should let him spend more and put more thought into it.
When you play in the depths of love, king, how can you not get into the play?
She opened her eyes suddenly, the fire in her eyes burned, and her fingertips pressed slightly, and she broke off the best plum blossom in front of her.
"Huh!"
An arrogant voice suddenly sounded, and his tone was full of domineering.
Ahya retracted her thoughts, turned her head to look, and saw a palace maid pointing at her, with a high toe, and a commanding tone when she spoke.
"You! Who allowed you to fold flowers here? ”
Here it comes.
Ahya's gaze fell on her face, her eyes glinting slightly, revealing a slight coldness.
This is the magpie next to the most favored cloud beauty in the harem.
It was she who said that the plum blossoms she broke off were stealing, and forced her to kneel and confess her mistake to a tree in the ice and snow, in full view of everyone.
When she first entered the palace, she encountered this kind of thing, and she was wronged and angry, how could she be willing?
So the magpie broke her leg.
In this way, she could only stay here like a dead dog, until the people of Qiongzhi Hall were afraid that she would freeze to death, so they dragged her back.
The shame she once suffered, in this life, must be repaid a hundred times.
"Why can't you fold?" Ahya took a deep breath, covered the gloom in her eyes, withdrew her gaze, and asked softly, "Since you can't fold, what is in your hand?" ”
"Me!" The magpie didn't expect her to dare to talk back, and after a moment of silence, she was a little annoyed, "This is the flower that Yun Meiren wants!" Who are you? Do you dare to compare with my master? ”
It's just an abandoned woman who was brought back and thrown aside!
"Oh—I remember." She snorted, her eyes full of disdain, raised her chin, and mocked, "You're the one who fell out of favor before you were favored...... Hillbilly, right? ”
"If you want me to say, a sparrow is a sparrow, and I don't have the dream of flying on the branches!"
"What did you say?"
Liunu was furious, she clenched her fists, and there seemed to be a fire burning in her eyes.
These days, she has seen Ahya surrounded by all kinds of discriminatory eyes, and she has long been on the verge of exploding, and at this time, she is almost unable to breathe when she is a little bit by a magpie.
"That's her!" The magpie replied sharply, and the mockery on his face was completely undisguised, "Mud legs are mud legs, and the slaves and maids with them don't know the rules." ”
"Liunu!" Ahya spoke up and took Liunu's hand to calm her down a little.
She looked at the magpie coldly, pulled the corners of her lips and smiled, and said in a quiet tone: "You don't have to be a slave and maid, I don't know, what kind of master are you." ”
No matter how favored Yun Meiren is, the magpie is just a slave.
A slave is a lowly one.
"No matter how I am, I also have a roster in the palace."
Dare to scold her?
The magpie was hit by her sore spot, and immediately sarcastically sarcastic, "It's not like you, what if it's brought in?" Living in this plum garden without a name or part, every bird in the palace is more noble than you. ”
"Smack!"
This slap was crisp and loud, and for a while, the entire plum garden was silent.
Ahya shook her hand and smiled as if she were looking at a dead object.
didn't let Liu Nu do it, because he was afraid that Xie Yu would take the opportunity to punish her again. Do it yourself, but you don't have to worry about it.
Xie Yu was afraid that he would still applaud her - he did everything possible to put her in this position, isn't this the effect?
"You dare to hit me?!"
The magpie covered his face and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses and screamed.
"yes." Ahya raised the corners of her lips, looked at her, tilted her head slightly, and looked innocent, "What should I do?" Report it to the person in charge of the palace. ”
It's just a slap in the face, and she's too light. The magpie had done so to her in her previous life, how could she have been like her, kneeling for three hours—no, thirty hours, before it was over.
"Or go to your Yun Meiren and cry, and sue like a three-year-old child."
She hooked her lips, mocking to the fullest.
The bigger this fire burns, the more it will prove to Xie Yu that she is usable.
She couldn't ask for it.
"You, you......" The magpie was so angry that tears came out of her eyes, and she pointed at her for a long time and was speechless.
"Sure enough, it's a slut from a bitter cold place!" She scolded without hesitation, "You uneducated thing! What other foxy means are there besides a face? ”
She glared at Ahya hatefully, her eyes full of resentment: "You wait! Sooner or later, you'll have to suffer! ”
"I want to hear it, what can I do?"
The lazy male voice sounded, seemingly with a smile, but the magpie's whole person seemed to be frozen, and he immediately knelt down with a thud, trembling slightly.
Ahya raised her eyebrows slightly, brushed the red plum between her fingers, turned her head to look at him, and showed a bright smile, her voice soft and emotional.
"Your Majesty still knows to see me?"
She wrinkled her nose, looked squeamish, and snorted, "I thought you were going to call me bullied to death." ”
"It's just a few days of busy government affairs, and I haven't come to see you, or have I not seen anyone else?" Xie Yu hooked his lips slightly, took a few steps closer, and pulled her into his arms, but his hand was not honestly kneading her waist, and he coaxed in a low voice.
Busy with government? I can't find time to meet people for half a month, and I can't find time to appreciate something?
Ahya sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be well-behaved on her face, and showed Xie Jian the red plum in her arms as if she was offering a treasure.
"You see, this branch is the best blooming in the garden." She bent her eyebrows, a pure joy, "Do you like it?" ”
"Hmm." Xie Yu glanced at it casually and responded dotingly.
He pinched the end of the plum branch and pulled her closer, the hot breath sprayed at the base of her ear, and his voice was hoarse and low.
"Red plum beauty, it's more beautiful under the moon."
Ahya's eyelashes trembled slightly, a thin red suddenly flew on her face, her breath was a little unstable, and she glared at him obliquely.
She knew what he wanted to hear, and she glanced at the still kneeling magpie and snorted.
"This girl likes it too, and she almost robbed it." She lowered her eyes, as if to complain, causing the magpie to tremble violently in fright.
"She also said that I am a hillbilly who lives in the palace without a name and no share, and every bird is more noble than me."
Ahya crossed her fingers, looked into Xie Wei's deep eyes, and repeated it to him word by word.
"What's even more ugly, Your Majesty also heard it?" With a finger of her hand, she put Yun Meiren on the opposite side of herself, as he wished.
"Don't you call the shots for me?"
