Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

Chapter 61 The Palace Gate is Like the Sea

In his previous life, Lin Jinran had been woken up by an alarm clock and worked day and night for his dream. Once he traveled through time, due to the lack of amateur cultural life, he developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, and had an excellent biological instinct to work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

However, this was the first time I was woken up by a basin of cold water.

Dou Xiner, the tall palace maid from yesterday, looked at her provocatively while holding a washbasin.

This season was already the coldest in late spring, and Jiang Feng's clothes and quilt were all wet, and the cold seemed to be emanating from his bones.

Jiang Feng looked around blankly. The other girls were all laughing and watching her having fun. She made up her mind and twisted her hair and clothes that were still dripping with water while asking, "Why?"

Dou Xiner: "Why? Do you think this is your home? Do you think you are still a young lady? We have all gotten up to work, but you are still slacking off. This is a lesson for you!"

Jiang Feng got off the kang wearing wet clothes. Her face was pale and her eyes were determined. She walked towards Dou Xiner step by step. With every step, Dou Xiner became more depressed.

He pushed Dou Xiner to the edge of the kang, leaving her with nowhere to retreat. She was a little panicked: "What do you want to do!"

Jiang Feng looked at her fiercely, and he moved closer. His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him: "I'll give you two choices. One is to wash and dry my luggage. The other is, I'll pour the same basin of water on you, and we'll be even."

Dou Xiner seemed to have heard a huge joke and said sarcastically: "Just you! I'm afraid you won't..."

Before she finished speaking, she felt a pain in her ear. Jiang Feng placed a hand on her ear, with two fingers pulling her earrings. If he applied more force...

Jiang Feng said clearly: "Think about it first! Which one should I choose?"

Dou Xiner was afraid that Jiang Feng would damage her ears, but she still pretended to be calm: "You dare!"

Jiang Feng seemed to have predicted that she would say this, he raised his eyebrows and actually smiled.

At that moment, a ray of morning sun shone in. The girl was wet all over and barefoot. She looked miserable and harmless, but for some reason, Dou Xiner was frightened.

Sure enough, Jiang Feng's voice dropped a few decibels, but every word was clearly transmitted to Dou Xiner's eardrum: "Girl's earlobe is so round and cute! What will happen if you accidentally pull it?"

Dou Xiner felt a hissing pain in her ears, but she still said stubbornly, "You...you dare!"

Jiang Feng ignored her, looked at the other person's ear carefully, and said to himself: "It's okay even if it's cut off, but it's scary to see it bloody. Slowly, it can heal, but it will leave a little scar, lying on the ear, like a centipede."

After saying that, he chuckled, as if he had really seen such a scene. Then, looking at Dou Xiner's horrified expression, he pointed at the stove with blazing flames and continued, "I also have a serious sleepwalking problem. Things that I dare not do during the day, I always do when I sleepwalk. For example, take a burnt red stove hook, find a girl with the biggest and prettiest eyes, and hook her eyes. There will only be a black hole left... When the eyeball is hung out by the stove hook, you can still smell a smell of Hu Ba. Why do you think that is? Maybe the stove hook is too hot and it is roasted? Eh? I see, among these girls, only your eyes are the prettiest..."

Jiang Feng spoke in a very low voice, so only she and Dou Xiner could hear it. Her tone was very calm, but what she said was bloody and horrifying, which created a strong contrast. Dou Xiner felt that one of her eyes suddenly hurt. The other girls saw Jiang Feng laughing like a demon, but Dou Xiner's face became uglier and uglier. At this time, Dou Xiner said in horror: "You lunatic!"

Jiang Feng still smiled: "Thank you for the compliment! So what? Which one do you choose?"

As he spoke, he increased the strength of his hand. This time, Dou Xiner knew that the pain in her ear was real. She hurriedly said, "I'll go and dry it!"

Jiang Feng did not let go, and examined Dou Xiner from head to toe before saying, "You have been targeting me, so you must have already found out everything about me. You know that I have few relatives, my elders don't love me, and I have lost a good marriage. I really have nothing and no worries. I am barefoot now and I am not afraid of those who wear shoes. If others don't let me have a good life, I have a hundred ways to make her even worse. If you don't believe me, you can try it! Nothing happens more than three times. From yesterday to now, this is the second time. If there is a next time... it will be more than just talk. If you have a scar somewhere, or your eyeballs turn into black holes, and you can't get married, don't cry."

Dou Xiner was only a teenage girl after all, and she was actually scared by Jiang Feng's aura. Jiang Feng had no scruples, but the little girl still cared about her pretty face and wanted to marry her ideal lover.

Jiang Feng saw this and reasoned with him: "We have no grudges in the past or in the present. Others have bad intentions towards me, but they have never been the first to do something like you. Why don't they join you in mistreating me?"

Dou Xiner looked puzzled, and Jiang Feng continued, "My elder sister married the Prince of Linzi, you knew that, right?"

Dou Xiner said sarcastically, "You two are not born of the same mother, so you must not be related. Otherwise, how could she bear to let you enter the palace?!"

Jiang Feng also sneered back: "If everything in the world is measured by like or dislike, close or not, it would be much simpler. It doesn't matter what my relationship with my second sister is. What's important is that if something happens to me one day, how can the Prince of Linzi and the concubine sit idly by? Even for the sake of the face of the Prince of Linzi's mansion and the reputation of the concubine, I have to give them an explanation. Who do you think will be dragged out to take the blame when the time comes?"

Dou Xiner's expression changed, as if she was struggling to make a decision.

Jiang Feng continued, "If I'm right, you must have been forced to do this. If you don't deal with me, you won't be able to report to your superiors. However, everything has a limit, and you have to be careful. Losing both sides is not the best option, don't you think?"

Dou Xiner said: "You also know that someone wants to deal with you!"

really!

Jiang Feng still smiled: "Now that I'm here, I'm not afraid of those evil spirits. I just don't know if you are fully prepared?"

Dou Xiner was in a state of confusion, but finally made up her mind and nodded, "Okay! I'll go and hang it up!"

After all, they are just teenagers, and they are scared after a few lies. Compared with Jiang Feng's old rival Jiang Fei, they are still a little immature. Back then, even with all the evidence, Jiang Fei did not admit to poisoning.

Seeing this, Jiang Feng whispered, "I just like dealing with smart people! Although we can't get along well, we don't have to fight to the death. If you understand this, I will give in a little bit, so what?! The quilt is all wet, what if it freezes your hands? Let me do it myself."

After saying that, he smiled brightly and then said loudly: "Sister, you are right. I will definitely get up early next time!"

Then he left Dou Xiner, who was stunned, and took the luggage out to dry in full view of everyone.

The girls gathered around her, and Dou Xiner looked solemn. After a long while, she said, "It's okay."

After Jiang Feng finished drying his clothes, he quickly changed into dry clothes and began to wash up, preparing for his first working day.

If someone is specifically targeting her, it would be better to let Dou Xiner come. After all, after dealing with her twice, she is mean, but fortunately her emotions are all on the surface, Jiang Feng is confident that he can still control her. If it were someone else who is mean and evil, it would be fatal!

After a day of pure physical labor, Jiang Feng felt sore in the waist, back and legs, and cramps, he was almost dying.

The girls in their room were responsible for sweeping all the public areas of the palace, and some palaces needed to be wiped with wet rags every day. Because the washing water was all cold, naturally no girl was willing to do it, so it naturally fell to Jiang Feng.

Thanks to Li Longye, Jiang Feng's right arm was useless, so wiping it was even more time-consuming and labor-intensive. This led to two serious consequences:

First, Jiang Feng, who had never touched water before, now had all his fingers cracked, with cuts of varying sizes all over them, which made him cry when it hurt.

Another thing is that by the time she finishes her work, there is either no food left or only leftovers.

When Jiang Feng was eating steamed buns in the northwest wind again, Ashu fell from the sky and threw her a chicken leg.

Jiang Feng's eyes lit up, he took it and started chewing, muttering as he chewed, "It would be nice if there was wine." Ah Shu really conjured up a small wine pot.

Doraemon.

Ah Shu was originally a maidservant of Princess Anle, but because of a mistake, she was sent to the palace. She is tall, has a clear face, and speaks very little. Although she is in a low position, everyone is afraid of Princess Anle's authority and dare not offend her, so the tasks assigned to her are simple and labor-saving. Ah Shu doesn't say anything. In addition to completing her own work, she can also help Jiang Feng complete his KPI.

Jiang Feng knew that she was a maidservant beside Princess Anle, and he was on guard against her. But after a while, Jiang Feng felt that he was too nervous. What kind of person was he? If Princess Anle wanted to deal with her, she would have taken her away and dealt with her as she should. Why would she even use the Thirty-Six Stratagems?

The key point is that Ashu's face is really useful in the palace.

I can eat hot meals and sleep well without being nervous all the time.

In this deep palace, Jiang Feng finally didn't feel so lonely anymore.

Although Dou Xiner still brought a group of girls to cause trouble for her everywhere, they were not too excessive. Every time Ashu wanted to argue, Jiang Feng stopped him.

If Princess Cheng'an is behind Dou Xiner, Ashu will not be her match.

Surprisingly, a balance was maintained. Jiang Feng lived a decent life, and Dou Xiner was able to get some benefits and report to her superiors.

Just live day by day.

As the weather got warmer, the palace began to prepare for the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Jiang Feng and others became increasingly busy, and even Dou Xiner had no time to bully Jiang Feng.

On this day, Jiang Feng was conscientiously wiping the floor tiles of Zhaoyang Palace. He couldn't help but sigh that Ashu's ointment had the magical effect of turning decay into something new. His hands finally looked like hands again.

As he was wiping, he came across a pair of pink pointed-toe shoes, and Jiang Feng looked up.

Well, red pomegranate skirt, long legs, thin waist, small chest, and flower ornaments on the forehead, who else could it be but Cheng An?

What is coming will eventually come!

Jiang Feng kowtowed and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Princess Cheng'an: "You made my shoes dirty!"

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing wrong with it.

Jiang Feng bowed his head: "Please forgive me, Princess."

Princess Cheng An waved her hand, and the little palace maid brought a chair over. Cheng An sat down steadily and asked, "Forgive me? Do you think it's possible?"

Jiang Feng raised his head: "Since I am in the hands of the princess, I am at the mercy of the princess!"

Cheng An laughed and said, "Why? Knowing that no one will plead for you and protect you, you put on this pitiful attitude?"

Jiang Feng replied: "In my current situation, there is really no need to pretend to be pitiful anymore."

Princess Cheng'an slapped the chair, and a little palace maid came up from behind and slapped Jiang Feng on the cheeks without saying a word: "Bitch! How dare you not call me 'slave' in front of the princess!"

Jiang Feng realized at this moment that the slaps from Jiang's mother in the past were really nothing. They were nothing compared to these two slaps, which made a crisp sound and felt painful.

Cheng An was in a good mood when she saw Jiang Feng's red and swollen cheeks. She lost her father when she was young and was exiled to Luling with Li Xian and Empress Wei. Empress Wei only cared about her own children and had no time to take care of her, so she played by herself.

She would just draw a circle on the ground with a branch and drive two ants into it. No matter how hard the ants crawled, they couldn't get out of the circle, so she could flip them over, cut them in half with a dagger, or crush them with a big rock... In short, there were many ways to play.

Jiang Feng is now in her encirclement. She is not in a hurry to kill her. It is more interesting to play with her bit by bit.

She suddenly thought of a good idea, pointed to the Taiye Lake not far away, and said with a smile: "Other things are fine, but I really like this shoe. Go there and wash it for me, and I will spare you this time, how about it?"

Jiang Feng certainly didn't believe that she would let him go so easily, but how could he disobey the princess's order?

The shoes were not dirty to begin with. She squatted by the pool, washing them while thinking about how to escape. Suddenly, someone pushed her from behind, and she fell into the lake with her shoes.

The water in early spring is so damn cold!

Fortunately, Lin Jinran lived in a water town, so swimming 800 meters was not a problem in her previous life. But in this life, Jiang Feng had never been in the water. She used the skills she had acquired in her previous life to save the quilt's life, using both the doggy paddle and breaststroke just to swim to shore.

It's not like you'll drown.

The maid was surprised to see that she could swim, so she could only shout, "If the princess' shoes are washed away, it will be useless for you to come up!"

Jiang Feng looked back and saw that the pair of shoes were floating farther and farther away. She looked at the palace maids who were on high alert, took a deep breath, and swam over to pick up the shoes.

After going back and forth, I have already used up most of my strength.

She put her shoes on the shore and was about to climb out when another pair of pink shoes stepped hard on her hands.

Looking up, she was still wearing the red pomegranate skirt, long legs, thin waist, four-pound chest, and a flower ornament on her forehead. She was Princess Cheng'an, but she was wearing different shoes.

"What do you want?" Jiang Feng's voice trembled. Her whole body was soaked in the cold water, and her fingers were stepped on by others.

Princess Cheng An saw that she looked pale, had purple lips, and had hair tightly stuck to her scalp, but she still had a sense of beauty! She thought of what Shen Guxing had said and done to her by this vixen, which had made her lose face!

A princess was outshined by a country girl!

Thinking of this, he exerted a lot of strength on his feet.

Jiang Feng screamed.

She squatted down and said viciously: "I want you to be unable to live or die! Don't you think you are beautiful? I will carve your face with a knife! Don't you think you are noble? I will throw you into the lowest brothel and let thousands of people humiliate you every day!"

Jiang Feng's fingers were in great pain and all her strength was gone. The cold lake water made her lose the ability to think. She felt that Princess Cheng An was not lying.

She was extremely frightened and completely hopeless, so she made up her mind and dragged Princess Cheng An into the water!

If you don't let me live, I won't let you live well either.

The maids and eunuchs on the shore were in chaos, but a few who could swim jumped down to save their master.

Jiang Feng felt that if Cheng An was rescued by them, he would be thrown into a brothel the next second.

At this moment, she could only go on to the end, dragging Cheng An to swim to the center of the lake. Cheng An was like a hen with its neck cut, and could only scream and flutter in vain.

Is the princess noble? In the face of life and death, she is not as dignified as Jiang Feng!

The two eunuchs behind her caught up with her and tried to snatch Cheng An. She refused to let go, but this affected her speed. More and more people caught up with her, and she finally lost her last bit of strength.

He let go, smiled, and sank into the lake.

The people who went into the water were only concerned with rescuing the princess. No one cared about her when she let go. Only a little maid by the lake saw Jiang Feng's thin lips move slightly before he sank into the water. She frowned and analyzed for a long time. The words seemed to be:

Go to hell!
