After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Chapter 291 The world is suffering (page 12)

Yingdan and Sishui are still far from being twenty-five years old. They have not yet considered whether to ask for pardon when they reach their age. However, Ling Shanggong expressed his thoughts, and Sishui was surprised: "Shanggong doesn't miss his family. What?"

Ling Shanggong lowered his eyelids: "I have been in the palace for fifteen years, but I rarely miss my family."

However, Yingdan thought of her family. Before entering the palace, her mother held her and cried bitterly. Although her father sighed, he always spoke in an open-minded way. The plight of the family had long made it difficult for his grandfather and father to cope with it. The elderly grandmother even lived day by day. She had to go out to beg, pretending to be a homeless old man, hoping to win the sympathy of others and give her a mouthful of hot soup and rice to save her own rations. Her younger brothers were so skinny that they all envied her for being able to go to a distant palace. Dressed in silk and brocade clothes and riding tall horses, they hid in the cracks of the door and peered in. They firmly believed that people living in the palace never drank water, but relied on broth to quench their thirst. Even in the palace, even Shiba Inu and Civet cats are all fat and strong.

My grandfather was so old that he was blind. He was sitting on a broken mat, worshiping his ancestors who were buried somewhere, and murmuring: My daughter is going to a good place. My daughter is finally alive. When you were three years old, you He almost starved to death. He didn't even dare to go to the market to steal half a piece of cake. He knew that if he was caught, our family would no longer be a good household. If we were not a good household, we would be afraid of living for the rest of our lives. If not, Nannan survived by relying on the half-bowl of soup cakes your grandmother begged for. All she had to do was wait for the imperial court's small selection order. Now it's better, now it's better.

She was given hope to survive, far away from her family and home. Did she survive? Are her family still alive? She doesn't even know the way back. She may never find her home again.

She now hears Surabaya talk about his family.

"My family has a mulberry field. My mother-in-law can weave brocade. I have also learned to raise silkworms since I was a child. I can help cook cocoons and silk reels. My sister-in-law always makes rice and noodles for me at that time. During the Chinese New Year, she will steam rice cakes. On the day I left home, my sister-in-law also steamed noodles. My sister-in-law was already pregnant at the time. She knew that I didn’t actually like noodles, but only steamed cakes. She said that I would eat a lot of steamed cakes in the future. After the palace, I even got tired of eating steamed cakes, but sometimes I still dreamed that my sister-in-law was steaming flour cakes. I didn’t know how many children my sister-in-law had now. I didn’t want to enter the palace at that time, but my mother-in-law was with me. I said, after entering the palace, I can also wear silk clothes. They spend their whole life growing mulberry, raising silkworms and weaving brocades, but they can only wear cloth clothes. The paper clothes they wear in winter are also covered with paper quilts, which still costs a lot of money. I I just thought that if I could go home in the future, I would make my mother-in-law and sister-in-law wear silk clothes and cover themselves with brocade quilts."

No one asked Yingshu.

They all know that Yingshu is different from them. Even if Yingshu is now a middle school girl, she has been wronged.

Some people find it difficult to imagine a life of fine clothing and fine food. Some people, born in Jinluo, still have to enter the palace, or have to go through life and death again and again. It is difficult for anyone to know what kind of ending they will go to. This may be It is a manifestation of the equality of all living beings. Sadness and joy are not the same, but sadness and joy exist.

At dusk, we arrived at the official post where we were staying.

The distance of more than a hundred miles can be covered by a fast horse in one day, but Yingshu and his party will inevitably need to stop at the post station. This post is located in the countryside and does not look dilapidated. However, compared to the official post located in the city, it does look more dilapidated. "Rough and rough", there was even a poultry shed built in front of the post station, where many chickens and ducks were kept, and the post officer who came out...

Yingshu rubbed her eyes, then rubbed her eyes.

Was she knocked unconscious by the carriage? This post officer looks like Sikong Yuehu.

"Is there sand in the Queen's eyes?"

Very good, as soon as these words came out, it was like a dose of good medicine that immediately cured Ying Shu's "eye disease". If this person was not Sikong Yuehu, she would have dared to swallow two buckets of sand.

"Mr. Xinsu is really haunting!" Yingshu felt that she was being followed.

"What does this mean?" Sikong Yuehu raised his eyebrows: "I went to inspect the Dantu military camp. I just entered the official post and sent the post officer to the town to buy. I heard another group of people coming outside with a roar. Just when I was wondering how you got here, you were questioned and asked... The Queen Empress needs an explanation."

Just then, a post official came out of the poultry shed with a chicken in his left hand and a duck in his right hand. He said quickly: "Your Highness has indeed arrived at half an hour."

"Your inn is very lively today, there are two more highnesses." Sikong Yuehu said: "Third brother, fifth brother, this inn only has two inns with fire walls, we have to squeeze in tonight. .”

Nanci saw Yingshu bickering but had never fought against Xinyuehu, so he subconsciously wanted to make up for it: "Fourth brother went to Dantu's military camp to inspect and see where the light cavalry and fast horses need to rest in the post house. What a coincidence."

"It's going to snow soon. I don't want to rush through the snow. Besides, it's not an urgent matter."

Only then did Ying Shu notice that the weather was really gloomy, but the wind had become lighter, and it was very wet and cold. It was indeed likely to snow. Could this really be a chance encounter?

"Because I thought it was going to snow and I might have to stay at the post station for another day. After asking, I found out that the post station didn't have enough firewood, so I sent the post officer to the town to buy it. There was enough firewood for me to meet him. Otherwise we will be freezing tonight."

Yingshu said with a smile: "His Highness chose this day to travel. He really knows how to choose a good day."

"Each each other."

The post officials were very nervous. Since the establishment of the post, they had never experienced receiving three princes and two "imperial envoys" at the same time. There were only two such large-scale post houses with fire walls for heating. Theirs The reason why the inn had a fire wall was because Dantu had a Yaohua Palace, so he had to prepare for the nobles to linger here when they went to the Yaohua Palace, but it was never put to use. I was really possessed today.

The post house had not been cleaned for a long time. Ying Shu wanted to take action, but was stopped by Ling Shang Palace: "The floor is pretty clean, but there is some dust on the case shelf. The female prisoner should not waste any effort. I just said I took a look and found that there is a firepit in the side hall, so the female prisoner will go there to stay first, it is enough for us to take care of things here."

Yingshu didn't go to the side hall first. She rode her horse and went with Nanci to see the situation nearby.

Two miles ahead, you can see towns and villages. Outside the town, there is a tower, and soldiers are stationed to guard against bandits. The fields are lonely in winter, and there are occasional smoke in the villages and towns. It is not dark, and there are no oil lamps in the tower. , the dusk became increasingly cold.

"Why do you want to go to Yaohua Palace?" Nanci had the opportunity to ask his doubts.

In the dusk, Yingshu looked at the distant smoke.

"Lu An is Sikong Beichen's confidant."

"I know, but you don't need to go to Yaohua Palace for this."

"I went to Yaohua Palace to make sure I didn't leave any omissions." Yingshu said, "I have never been to Yaohua Palace, and I didn't pay attention to the affairs of palace maids in my previous life. People who are superior can easily ignore the sufferings of others. Nanci , I have always believed that servants who depend on nobles are more likely to have food, clothing and stability than common people. In my family, even if there is a mean housewife like the second mother, the vast majority of servants will at least not be worried and fed, unlike us now. The world I witnessed.”

She pointed to the lonely town in front of her: "Look at how many huts there are. In this season, they can't cover their roofs with tiles. When it snows, how can the residents under the huts keep out the cold? There is no fire where I live now." Danying lives in the palace maid's place, and they at least have paper coverings. In the past, I couldn't understand the pain of the palace people. I ignored that in addition to food and warmth, they would have more needs. .
