We, never thought that Sangzhi is so generous and doesn't care about it.But some people think that Sangzhi is easy to bully, and they may not end well if he goes out.
Sang Zhi didn't expect to be hit by Xin Zheku's people.There are probably the most court ladies in Chengqian Palace, although there shouldn't be so many according to regulations, but who makes Chengqian Palace favored!The imperial concubine is sensible and abides by the rules, and she doesn't want to ask for more people.But he couldn't stand the emperor's great favor, and wished that all the maids could stay in Chengqian Palace to serve the imperial concubine and the newborn fourth prince.When there are many people, there will naturally be a difference between superior and inferior.Sangzhi, as a maid serving outside the palace, could not avoid being summoned by a court lady with seniority and seniority.
It was nearly September, and people in the palace called it the chrysanthemum moon, which was the season when the autumn was breezy and the chrysanthemums were blooming.The imperial concubine was kind and sent someone to Yongshou Palace to deliver some seasonal fresh fruits and chrysanthemums.Yongshou Palace is the residence of Concubine Jing, who was abolished. Concubine Jing has always been jealous, hated the imperial concubine, and even the maids of Chengqian Palace.Naturally, Concubine Jing couldn't touch the imperial concubine, but all the maids of Chengqian Palace who went to Concubine Jing's place would not fail to be made things difficult.But what about the maids?After all, Concubine Jing is also the master, and was once a queen.Although she is deposed now, she is still the empress dowager's niece after all. Although the palace people treat her coldly, they dare not go too far.So every time they went to Yongshou Palace, everyone would blame each other behind the back of the imperial concubine, picking newcomers and sending them away who were easy to bully.
Not long after Sangzhi arrived, the task of going to Yongshou Palace this time naturally fell on her.Tong'er, who assigned her to go, also lied to her, "When you arrive at Yongshou Palace, you may meet the famous person next to the Queen Mother—Aunt Su Ma. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for in a few lifetimes."
Sangzhi thought to himself, if you really think so, would you still let me go?
But thinking about it, she is new here and cannot make enemies.It is quite far from Chengqian Palace to Yongshou Palace. Originally, it would be closer if we walked directly through Kunning Palace and Jiaotai Palace, but how can we walk casually to those places?So you have to go around in a big circle, go north along the East Sixth Palace, pass Zhongcui Palace and pass through the Imperial Garden. This is the Kunning Gate behind Kunning Palace, and then turn south after reaching Yangxingzhai. To the boundary of the West Sixth Palace.You have to go through Chuxiu Palace and Yikun Palace to reach Yongshou Palace.It takes a whole day to go back and forth, just running errands is exhausting, it is really a hard job.But Sang Zhi doesn't care, she just takes exercise.By the way, you can also enjoy the antique interior of the Forbidden City, why not do it!
Since becoming a court lady, Sang Zhi has made little progress except that her mentality has become more and more peaceful.Probably because I know that I am too small and have no choice but to accept all this, so I can only let myself face it with a more suitable state of mind.
She walked all the way unhurriedly, but she didn't dare to show a leisurely attitude, but her mood was indeed relaxed.Compared with doing those rough jobs, walking is a beautiful job for her.Because she was in a relaxed mood, she thought wildly, and she always felt that the Aunt Su Ma that Tong'er was talking about was somewhat familiar.
"Great Aunt Su Ma... Aunt Su Ma..." She murmured silently in her heart, and when she reached Yangxing Zhai, she was suddenly startled, "La Aunt Su Ma?!" Sang Zhi was startled.All along, she knew nothing except that she was in the Qing Dynasty.I always stay in Xinzheku, I know very little. I was wondering if I also lived in the Kangxi and Yongzheng era, and if there are any famous actors from the fourth elder brother and eighth elder brother, but now I think of Lagu Su Ma , She was taken aback, "Lagu Su Ma—the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang? That imperial concubine who favors the sixth palace, could it be...Concubine Dong E?"
Except for Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E, she really couldn't think of any other concubine who was so favored in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Such a guess, combined with what she knew in the past six months, made a deduction.Sangzhi was a little depressed. She didn't know much about the history of the Shunzhi period. In fact, most of her knowledge of the history of the Qing Dynasty came from film and television dramas, so it didn't seem to help her much.As for who is the queen of Shunzhi——Sangzhi has no idea.She remembered Shunzhi entirely because of the emperor's love between Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E.
Basically determined the age he was in, but it was of no use.Sang Zhi sighed softly, it's better to save his life.
It was nearly dusk when we arrived at Yongshou Palace.The Yongshou Palace was indeed deserted, and the eunuchs guarding the gate of the palace were also lazy and uninspired.
Sangzhi cleared his throat and said slowly, "Good evening, both of you. I am Sangzhi from Chengqian Palace. I am here to deliver some seasonal fresh goods to Concubine Jing by order of the imperial concubine."
As soon as the little eunuch heard that she was from Chengqian Palace, he immediately changed his face, smiled flatteringly and invited her in, and muttered, "The imperial concubine is kind-hearted, and she never forgets the concubine Jing."
She was exchanging pleasantries when the gatekeeper suddenly looked behind her and asked, "Who are you?"
Sangzhi turned her head and saw a girl in a green skirt followed behind her at some point, her appearance was very upright, her complexion was fair and greasy, and her oval face was extremely dignified and classically beautiful.The girl rolled her eyes, "I'm with her."
The gatekeeper eunuch glared at her, "Nonsense! I clearly saw you running from the side. Where's the little palace lady, you're so unruly!"
This girl was indeed dressed as a court lady, but when her eyes looked at Sang Zhi, Sang Zhi felt that she was different from other court ladies.How exactly it is different, Sangzhi can't say.The most intuitive feeling is probably that this little maid looks very beautiful, unlike the gentleness and delicateness of ordinary court ladies, she is more dignified and generous.She looked straight into Sangzhi's eyes, but said to the gatekeeper, "If you don't believe me, ask her!"
Sang Zhi moved her lips, wanting to deny it, but met the girl's eyes for some reason, and lied in a strange way, "Yes, she came with me. It's just that I just fell down. I originally let her Resting in the back, who would have followed me again." He turned his eyes away and looked at the eunuch, "That's why I ran over from the side."
The eunuch looked at her suspiciously, and then sized up the young girl, "Really? Miss Sangzhi, in this palace, don't mess around with things you shouldn't meddle in, or you will be the one who is in trouble."
Sang Zhi's heart tightened.Why didn't she know that she could still be shot while lying down in this palace, it was a great fortune to be able to protect herself wisely.But looking into the girl's eyes, she just couldn't say a word of denial.Maybe it's been a long time since I've seen such a straightforward and fearless normal person.This girl is definitely not an ordinary court lady, but Sangzhi has been depressed for too long, she is out of tune with the entire Forbidden City, she can't bear this kind of life with clear levels and no human beings at all, so even though she knows that the girl is different, she can't bear it in her heart. Feeling nostalgic, she longed to see a "normal person", so she smiled, and instead held the girl's hand sideways, the girl was startled, struggled a little but did not break free, met the warning eyes of Sangzhi, and pursed her eyes. Pursing her lips, she let Sang Zhi pull her.Sangzhi asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
The girl didn't answer.
Sang Zhi was in a hurry, "Say it quickly."
Then I heard the girl whisper, "Su Le, you can call me Su Le."
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, held the girl's hand, and said to the little eunuch, "Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law, but she is indeed with me."
The little eunuch looked at her, "What's her name?"
Hearing this, Sang Zhi glanced at the girl with a little complacency, "Su Le." Su Le turned his face away.
The little eunuch couldn't see the clue, and the people in Chengqian Palace were not easy to offend, so they let them in.
Sang Zhi took her hand and walked all the way to the courtyard, the girl broke free, showing a calm and proud appearance.Sangzhi is not afraid either, she is not like an ordinary court lady, knowing that this young girl deliberately hides her identity, she deliberately teases him, "Your real name is Su Le?"
"You ask too many questions." The girl looked up into her eyes, "You are so courageous, no court lady dares to look into other people's eyes."
Sang Zhi just laughed, "Aren't you looking into my eyes too? Which palace are you from? You're so bold."
The girl choked on her, bit her lip, and snorted.
Sang Zhi was very happy, "Then I will call you Su Le. What are you doing here?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Su Le turned and left.
Sang Zhi followed and held her hand, "No, I brought you in, and I have to watch you. Otherwise, something really happened, and I can't afford it."
"It's too late to worry about this now." Su Le glanced at the hand that was being held, "Let go."
"Don't let me go." Sang Zhi raised her eyebrows, thinking that this girl might be some kind of Princess Princess, but she pretended not to know, and just said, "Look at you, you haven't entered the palace soon, right? I'm older than you, you fit You should call me elder sister. Why are you so unruly and cold-spoken."
Su Le was angry, "You!"
"There are still no rules." Sang Zhi saw that she did not dare to reveal her real identity, so she said, "If you don't call out my sister, I will invite you out and say that you lied to me just now, and you will be punished." Got it."
"Presumptuous!" Su Le's face turned cold, but his face flushed with anger, "You can't escape the responsibility if you say it."
Seeing this scene, Sang Zhi already decided that the little girl must be the princess of some palace.So he secretly smiled in his heart, although he was determined to eat her, he didn't notice it on his face, "Then I'll call someone." He cleared his throat with gestures, and as soon as the word "ah" was pronounced, Su Le quickly covered her mouth, glared at her angrily, and reluctantly said, "Sister!"
"Hey——" Sang Zhi couldn't help laughing, and pinched the tip of her nose with crooked eyebrows, "You're so good!"
Su Le knocked her hand off, "You... are bold! Don't touch me again!"
"Tch!" Sang Zhi pretended to be ignorant, "You are a little court lady, not as old as me, so what if I touch you!" He smiled and scratched the bridge of her nose again, "What can you do to me?"
Su Le was ashamed and uncomfortable, bit her lips angrily and said coldly, "Are all the people in Chengqian Palace so shameless!"
Sang Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Su Le, you have to bow your head under the eaves. You should know your identity. Cheng Qian Palace is also something you can talk about casually?"
But he didn't want these words to make Su Le sneer, glanced at the time fresh on Sang Zhi's shoulders, and walked towards the palace with his hands shaken.

"Su Le!" Sang Zhi hurriedly called her, "I'll wait for you to go out together!" Although he had just brought the girl in on impulse, Sang Zhi was still worried.In order not to fall into the trap of others, you have to do a full set of acting.When she brought people in, she had to take them out, otherwise something would happen, and she might lose her life.
Su Le's footsteps paused, Sang Zhi thought she couldn't speak, but unexpectedly she said "hmm".Sang Zhi was greatly relieved.I thought to myself, this princess is still very general!Although it is really unreliable to pretend to be a court lady and come to Yongshou Palace.
She was guarding in the courtyard of Yongshou Palace, and soon a nanny would come, and she didn't look good when she saw her, "No! Our mother is not that expensive, so I don't need these."
Sang Zhi hurriedly said, "Where is the nanny, the concubine Jing is here to pray for the emperor, the most precious, so you should use the best seasonal goods."
The nanny glanced at her, "You mean, I was wrong?"
"No, no, no," Sang Zhi was sweating coldly, "the mother's words have their own reasons, but these melons and fruits can also make the icing on the cake for the empress, it's a good thing, why not accept it?"
The nanny was still waiting to make things difficult, when suddenly an aunt in her thirties came out of the room. Even though the nanny was older than her, she had to salute her, "Hello, Miss Jin." It was Concubine Jing's personal maid, Jinxiu.
Sang Zhi had a lively mind, although she didn't know who this girl Jin was, but judging by the situation, this girl Jin probably had a high status, so she hurriedly saluted according to her seniority, and respectfully said, "I met Aunt Jin. "
Jinxiu glanced at her, "He's quite discerning." She winked at the nanny, and the nanny reluctantly took the fruit basket from Sangzhi's hand, and went into the house.
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Xiu smiled and invited her to sit down in the courtyard, but Sang Zhi repeatedly declined, she dared not sit on an equal footing with this aunt Jin.So Jinxiu sat down and she stood by herself.
When Jinxiu looked at her again, her eyes became more and more appreciative, "Are you from Chengqian Palace?"
"Yes." Sang Zhi lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, like a well-behaved court lady.
Jinxiu smiled, "Is Xin going not long ago?"
"Yes."
"It's common for new maids to be bullied." Jinxiu looked at her sympathetically, "Just get through this period and get through it."
Sangzhi was grateful, and felt that Yongshou Palace was not as scary as everyone described!At least, this Aunt Jin is a good person.She smiled at Jin Xiu sincerely, "Thank you, Aunt Jin, for teaching me."
Jinxiu sighed, "Don't be too polite, just sit down. I haven't had a heart-to-heart conversation with anyone for a long time, so don't stick to these etiquettes when seeing you hit it off."
Sangzhi still refused, so Jinxiu forced her to sit down.Then she winked at the girl beside her, and that girl came over with cakes and drinks and placed them in front of them.
It was fine if Sang Zhi didn't sit down, and when she sat down on an equal footing with Jinxiu, she didn't have the slightest fear in her heart.As soon as this mental state came out, Jinxiu couldn't help but look at her more, but Sang Zhi kept in mind the words of Li Yingrong, the head of Yeting Palace, and looked down at Jinxiu with a low eyebrow.
Jinxiu asked, "Which banner are you under? Who else is in the family?"
Sang Zhi didn't know anything about these things, but he didn't dare not answer, so he said indiscriminately, "Zheng Huang Qi is wrapped, and there is no one at home."
"Poor thing." Jinxiu looked at her lovingly, then handed her a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Try it."
Sang Zhi got up to thank him, but dared not accept it.It is too rude to talk and eat in front of elders.Even without the court rules, Sang Zhi would never eat it.But this reward had to be accepted, so he took it and held it in his hand without eating it.
Jinxiu pulled her to sit down again, "Don't be so polite. I feel sorry for you and feel sorry for you. You have walked a long time from Chengqian Palace to here?" Jinxiu poured her a glass of water, "Aren't you tired and thirsty? There are no outsiders here in our Yongshou Palace, so don't be afraid, there is food and drink here, you can eat and drink as much as you want."
He motioned for her to eat pastries, and brought the water glass to her.Sangzhi's heart warmed up, and she looked at Jinxiu with emotion, "Thank you, Aunt Jin."
But he didn't dare to be too unruly, so he took a small sip of his saliva and moistened his throat.She was indeed tired and thirsty.Jinxiu watched her drink the water and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid."
Sangzhi took a bite of the pastry lightly.
Jin Xiu sighed, "I've never seen a new court lady like you—" She spoke with admiration in her eyes, but she was interrupted by a figure before she finished speaking, "Aunt Jin!"
It turned out to be Sule.
When Sang Zhi saw her coming out, she was overjoyed, "Su Le." But she didn't realize that when she called this name, Jin Xiu's face instantly became gloomy.
Su Le hurried over, grabbed the cake in her hand and threw it on the table, "Let's go." She took Sang Zhi's hand and left.Sang Zhi didn't know why, but suddenly heard a stern voice behind him, "Su Le."
Su Le beside him paused, without turning his head, he still held Sang Zhi's hand tightly, "Let's go."
Sang Zhi looked back, could the person standing at the door be Concubine Jing?She was indeed pretty, about the same age as Jinxiu, but she was cold and gloomy.
She was in a trance when suddenly Su Le led her to a halt.Looking up, it turned out that it was Jinxiu who stopped them, looking at Su Le timidly.
Su Le held her hand tightly, "I asked her to bring me in, so I will go out with her." She held Sang Zhi's hand tightly, looking up at Jinxiu.After a while, cold sweat began to break out on Jinxiu's forehead, and she turned her gaze over the two in front of her to Concubine Jing behind them.
Su Le didn't care so much, and walked slowly while pulling Sang Zhi.Jinxiu didn't dare to stop her either.After leaving Yongshou Palace, the little eunuch who guarded the gate saw them coming out and greeted them as usual.But after walking a few steps, Sang Zhi suddenly felt cramping in his stomach and dizzy from a headache.Her feet gave way and she fell on Su Le.
Su Le supported her and called softly, "Sangzhi?"
Sang Zhi didn't know whether to cover his stomach or hold his forehead, so he forced a smile, "I don't know why, I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden."
Su Le was silent for a while, "I'll take you to the imperial doctor."
"No need," Sang Zhi refused her, "I have to go back and report quickly." She frowned, "Maybe I caught cold last night, and I walked too much today, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Chengqian Palace is too far away from here." , I’m afraid I’ll be punished if I don’t go back.”
"Chengqian Palace..." Su Le's eyes changed, and the hand that held her loosened, "That's right."
Sangzhi barely stood still, and muttered, "Why is it so serious all of a sudden? I've been fine all day." Her body went limp again, as if she was about to be unable to stand.Su Le supported her again, "I'll take you back." She actually carried Sang Zhi towards the Longfu Gate leading to Jiaotai Hall, and Sang Zhi hurriedly pressed her hand, "Jiaotai Hall How can you go indiscriminately?"
Jiaotai Hall is one of the three rear palaces of the inner court. The Qianqing Palace is in the front and the Kunning Palace is in the back. It is the place where the emperor and concubines lived.Here is the most heavily guarded, and you cannot walk around at will.Sang Zhi's face was pale, and he said helplessly, "I can't go there because of my identity."
She thought, even if Su Le was a geek, he would have to be punished if he went to the third palace without edict.If she was a little maid who came in and out at will, wouldn't she be courting death!Moreover, the guards at the Longfu Gate were not vegetarians, so how could they let them in.Why bother to seek guilt in vain.
Su Le seemed to have just come back to his senses, paused to look at Sang Zhi, and suddenly asked, "Did you drink water just now besides the pastry?"
"Take a sip." After Sang Zhi finished speaking, her heart shook, and she looked at Su Le in disbelief.Su Le looked down at her, "Spit it out."
Sang Zhi froze, unable to believe it.Judging from Su Le's tone, did she have a problem with eating and drinking just now?Sang Zhi really couldn't believe it, that Aunt Jin who teased and laughed at Yan Yan secretly poisoned her?She couldn't stop trembling, but she didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly stretched her hand to her throat and vomited.When she was about to vomit out her own gall, the pain in her body actually eased.
But even so, Sang Zhi was scared out of his wits.Just now, I just thought I had caught a cold, and didn't think about poisoning at all. I never expected that I would just walk through the gate of hell so quietly!She glanced at Su Le, if Su Le hadn't been moved with compassion, and she ate a little more cautiously, otherwise she would definitely have eaten the pastry and drank enough water with Aunt Jin's smiling face, and she might have died suddenly on the spot.
"Why...why..." Sang Zhi collapsed, "I didn't do anything..." She fell to the ground.
Su Le looked at her and said nothing.
Sang Zhi suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Su Le suddenly—because of this girl? !Yes, yes!Sang Zhi thought, Su Le is not a palace lady, maybe because she violated the palace rules or lost the royal face by pretending to be a palace lady, so she wanted to kill the insider.Sang Zhi's heart was as cold as freezing in nine cold days, so dangerous, so dangerous, she almost died inexplicably without even realizing it.
This deep palace, this inner court, this damned Qing Dynasty, killing people without blood, human life is as thin as paper, is there anything more terrifying than this place? !Sang Zhi's throat tightened, and he felt that his mind was in a mess.She didn't say a word, and after a while, she forced a smile to Su Le, "It's getting late, I should go back."
Su Le watched her get up staggeringly, and gradually disappeared from sight.
The sky was getting dark gradually, Sang Zhi tightened his clothes, but still felt chills all over his body.Sure enough, there is no room for willfulness in the court.She looked up at the long and depressing towering city walls, and felt for the first time that the Forbidden City was a terrifying and gigantic beast that locked and trapped the people inside, making them hopeless.
Killing is silent, death is nameless.Everything is going on silently, life and death, good and evil, under the grand bustling, there are many bones, mountains of knives, fire, sea of blood and rain of blood.
Sang Zhi lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions.She finally realized that she had underestimated the danger and brutality of this city.
☆、Text 06
Jinxiu followed up quietly, and saluted Su Le respectfully, "Empress Empress."
The girl's full name is Borzigit Sule. She is the niece of Concubine Jing after the abolition. She was born in the family of Manzhu Xili, Prince Darhan Batulu, the left-wing consul of the Horqin Tribe. Her father is the Duke of Horqin Town.She is delicate and bright, and is the most beloved jewel in the palm of her father. She has inherited the calm and brave characteristics of the Manzhu Xili family. She is good at riding and shooting, and is good at equestrianism.
Her aunt, Borzigit Mengguqing, is the daughter of Borzigit Wu Keshan, Prince of Horqin Zhuoliketu in Mongolia. A queen, never liked by the emperor.Later, the emperor insisted on abolishing the empress regardless of the opposition of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the empress dowager, and demoted Meng Guqing to a side concubine, who is now Concubine Jing.
The following year, Borzigit Sule was elected to the palace and became the second queen.That year, she was only 13 years old.But soon after entering the palace, she suffered the same fate as her aunt, and was deeply despised by the current emperor.Maybe it was because she was young and didn't understand Cheng Huan, or because she was stubborn and refused to bow to the emperor, or because the emperor didn't like women from the Horqin family, in short, she was abandoned in the middle palace.
She is now 16 years old, and the four years in the deep palace have polished the originally smart and intelligent girl into a taciturn successor little queen.Her actions and behaviors must conform to the palace rules and etiquette at every turn. Not only can she no longer be as happy and free as before, but she must always be cautious in her words and deeds, lest the emperor find fault with her.
She is a queen, but she only bears a false name.However, this false name was enough to tire her for the rest of her life.
There are so many women in the world who envy and covet the position in the middle palace, and everyone is staring at her, hoping that she will make a mistake, so that they can make trouble and pull her down.At first, she was on pins and needles.At that time, I always thought that if she had a choice, she would rather be the lowest pariah than suffer as a queen.But later she understood that she was Horqin's daughter, and she carried the entire Horqin family on her shoulders.The daughter of the Horqin family has absolutely no reason to admit defeat.The emperor doesn't like her being a queen, so she just wants to sit firmly in this seat.What's more, even if she can't be a queen, she still can't leave the Forbidden City.From the moment she stepped into the middle palace, from the moment she was called the queen empress, she was destined to be trapped in this majestic and huge palace for the rest of her life.
She is Borzigit Sule, a 16-year-old little queen.
Jinxiu bowed her head and put on a robe for her, "It's getting late and the cold air is heavy, Empress Empress should go back to Kunning Palace earlier."
Su Le stood still, and waited for Jinxiu to fasten her outer robe before saying calmly, "Tell aunt, don't touch that maid."
"Empress!" Jinxiu knelt down in front of her immediately, "Empress Empress, that girl is from Chengqian Palace, and... also knows your name, if it is publicized, I'm afraid it will be bad for you. Empress Empress, please Think twice!"
Su Le glanced at her blankly, "Now, am I the queen, or is Concubine Jing the queen?"
Jin Xiu hurriedly kowtowed, not daring to say more, "Your servant... definitely bring the words."
"Jinxiu," Su Le looked at her, "Now your life is equal to Sang Zhi's life, if Concubine Jing dares to act recklessly, don't blame me for being merciless."
Jinxiu shook her body and bowed her head deeply, "Your servant obeys."
"Get up." Su Le stood upright, making a gesture of support, making Jinxiu break into cold sweat, "Don't dare to be a servant!"
Su Le sighed softly, "Jinxiu, don't blame me for speaking harshly. It's just my aunt's method, and you know it."
Jinxiu didn't speak.After a long while, I dared to say, "Empress Empress, Concubine Jing is also doing it for your own good. Why do you have to be a member of Chengqian Palace for the sake of a little maid..."
Su Le paused, his eyes filled with confusion.She looked at the brightly lit lights in the distance, and murmured, "Maybe...it's too boring. This palace...is really boring." She smiled, "Jinxiu, do you dare to look at me? ?”
Jinxiu took a step back in fright, "Damn this servant!"
"Hey——" Su Le shook his head and smiled, "Why do you die? You didn't make a mistake. But... Sangzhi dared. She seems... different from other court ladies."
"It must be that Sang Zhi didn't learn the rules well, and she should be taught|taught." Jinxiu kept her head down, "However, when I saw her today, I know the rules. Maybe it's... maybe it's because she thought that you, the empress, are too. Maid, that's why there are no rules."
Su Le pursed her lips, "She has already seen it. Even if she doesn't know who I am, at least she must have guessed that I am not a court lady. Sang Zhi is very smart and interesting." His voice suddenly became cold, "It's a pity that Cheng Qian People from the palace." Her eyes deepened, "There are all wonderful people in Chengqian Palace."
The last sentence without distinguishing between emotions and anger made Jinxiu confused about her mood, so she could only say, "It's all because of the emperor's favor. Empress, as long as you put your heart into it, the honor and favor in the future will not be weaker than that of Concubine Dong E."
Su Le had a half-smile, "I'm not Concubine Jing." Then he said, "Send me back."
Jinxiu couldn't fathom a meaningful sentence, but the empress did not dare to neglect her order, "Yes!" She led the empress, who was pretending to be a court lady, back to Kunning Palace, and the journey was not eye-catching.
After returning to Yongshou Palace, I told Concubine Jing all these words. After hearing this, Concubine Jing sighed for a long time, "Su Le is better than me."
Jinxiu said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself, after all the empress is still young."
"No," Concubine Jing shook her head, "She is young, but she has a clear mind. She is indeed a woman of Horqin."
Concubine Jing smiled, "The thing that Su Le is better than me is that he is ruthless to the emperor. Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, I myself have been fooled, thinking that I have a relationship with him as a young couple, but I forgot that he is not an ordinary man. Son of Heaven. It’s what I want, not a person.” He added, “Since Emperor Taizong entered the Central Plains, Horqin’s daughter has become the best candidate for empress. Empress Xiaoduanwen——Borzigit Zhezhe, ( Empress Xiaozhuang Wen) is now the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng——Borzigit Bumbutai, and the next queen recorded in the annals of history will be Borzigit Sule. My Horqin family will follow Da The glory of the Qing Dynasty will never be defeated." She twisted the wick, her expression was full of pride, which concealed a lot of haggardness.
"Then... what about Sangzhi?" Jinxiu said, "As long as you treat the empress and empress empress well, Jinxiu is not afraid of losing one's life."
Concubine Jing sighed, "Forget it. Su Le's child, she can do it as soon as she says it. Now that she is in the middle palace, I can't confront her head-on. She is willing to part with you, but I am not. She is not my own, she is I don't feel bad."
Jinxiu's heart was agitated when she heard this, and she kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Madam, for your mercy! The slaves are smashed to pieces, there is nothing to repay!"
"Get up." Concubine Jing stroked her temples, and Jin Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to knead her, "Are you feeling better?"
"En." Concubine Jing confirmed again with her eyes closed, "What's the maid's name?"
"Go back to your mother, Sang Zhi."
"What do you think of her?"
"According to the servant girl, she is quite reasonable. It's just that the servant girl also thinks she's a bit different."
"Oh?" Concubine Jing became interested, "Why is it different?"
Jinxiu thought for a while, "She... seems like a master." Then she quickly changed her words, "No, she obeys the rules in every move, and there is nothing she can find fault with. She was also born in Shangsanqi Baoyi, and she has been a slave for generations, but It always makes people feel that she is different from the other maids, even if the servants are in front of her, they can't help but give her a high look."
Concubine Jing opened her eyes, "That said, it's really interesting. Come back next time and bring me in to meet you."
"Yes." Jinxiu said again, "Sang Zhi knows the name of the empress...to call the empress by her name is really courageous and outrageous!"
"It doesn't matter," Concubine Jing said, "Based on what Su Lena said, the one named Sangzhi also guessed that she is not a palace lady. Since that is the case, that palace lady would not dare to talk nonsense." She sighed again, "This palace Ah, it's really not interesting. It's not like when I was in the grassland, the sky is wide and the land is wide, and the pride of leaping horses and whips. This place is really aggrieved by Su Le. If she wants to have fun, then let her go, just don't go out What's wrong."
Jinxiu said, "Mulberry branch must be the virtue accumulated by the ancestors, which can enter the eyes of the empress."
Sangzhi didn't know Jinxiu's words, she just felt that she must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to be a court lady in the Qing Dynasty.I even wondered if my ancestors dug other people's graves, so I was unlucky to meet that Gege named Su Le.When others went to Yongshou Palace to deliver things, at most they would be scolded and stared at, but she was lucky and almost lost her life.
She walked back all the way quickly, sweating all over, which made her body feel better.But how dare you underestimate poisoning!So as soon as I came back, I quickly drank water after handing over the task.I wanted to go to the imperial doctor, but it was already dark, and it was almost curfew time, so she couldn't go out anymore.But my heart has been uneasy, I don't know how much toxins are left in my body.
There is really no way, she came up with a bad move.In the cold autumn night, Sangzhi poured cold water so hard that she had to have diarrhea.Sure enough, as she wished, when the clapper rang at Xushi, she ran straight to the latrine.It didn't stop all night, and when I woke up the next day, my whole body was exhausted.
The palace maids all get up at three o'clock at Yinshi, and they start to get busy at Maoshi.Sangzhi didn't expect that he not only had diarrhea, but also caught cold after running around the latrine all night, and started to have a fever.Seeing her like this, Tong'er complained angrily, "I thought I was some kind of master who was rich and honored, and after a trip to Yongshou Palace, I got tired and sick. It seems like I bullied her." She said it as if she didn't bully Sangzhi.
Sang Zhi didn't have the strength to refute at all.The leading maid outside the hall also kicked her, "Don't pretend to be dead, unless you die now, or get up and work for me!"
Simply inhuman!Sang Zhi was annoyed, but she was really weak and had no strength to fight, the leading maid was relentless, and she might have to use a whip to greet her again.She didn't want to suffer the immediate loss, so she desperately propped herself up to wipe the ground.
Tong'er looked at it coldly, "Just say it's just pretending. It's not a good job!"
Sang Zhi felt dizzy and dizzy, she only hoped to stay on until her shift, and then go to the imperial doctor.But she didn't eat much. She had diarrhea all night and had a fever, so she was so weak that she couldn't see what was on the ground when she wiped it.So she didn't see people coming out of Chengqian Palace one after another, so she just knelt outside the palace and wiped the steps.
After a long time, she suddenly felt that the surroundings were quiet, and she raised her head with blurred eyes, and saw a fairy-like figure standing not far away, Pingting was as graceful as snow and jade.Unexpectedly, she doesn't look like a mortal woman. Her fluttering robes have the meaning of being elegant and elegant, and she has a good temperament, just like a fairy concubine.
The fairy stood in front of her, "Are you uncomfortable?" The voice was soft and soft, which made people feel heart-warming.
Sang Zhishao's mind was muddled, "I'm poisoned."
He heard the voice say again, "Come here, please ask the imperial doctor."
In a daze, Sang Zhi heard an anxious voice, "Sang Zhi, hold on!" That voice seemed to be Green Warbler.
The author has something to say: the queen's name is taboo, except for the royal family and close relatives of the family, basically no one knows it.Even the royal family has to be a direct royal family, and those who are farther away don't know.
And after entering the palace, there is basically no need for names and taboos, and no one will call them at all.Unless there are particularly close elders who are alone in private, they can only be called occasionally.
For example, when Concubine Jing's imperial edict was announced to the world, there was no nomination taboo at all, only one surname——
The Zierborjijin clan is the daughter of Wu Keshan, Prince Zhuoliketu of the Horqin Kingdom.Yuxiuyimen, the royal family of Zhongling, has a pure speech and appearance, and follows the rules of history; the distance is leisurely, and the virtue of Anzhen is in harmony.I hereby accept the order of the Empress Dowager, and book you as the empress.It is beneficial to worship the pot fan, supress the political mother's ceremonies, raise her beauty in Ciwei, and take care of her roots in Yishi.Qinzai!
In that era, women were not on stage.Girls in ordinary people's homes may not even have names, and the oldest ones call them casually, like the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl, and so on.The maids in the palace are not from ordinary people's families. They have a high status outside the palace, so they have a name, and usually the master who has no name after entering the palace will also be given a name, which is convenient for addressing.

She didn't faint, just dizzy.Dimly aware that he was brought back to Chuxiu Palace, the people around him should
Sang Zhi didn't expect to be hit by Xin Zheku's people.There are probably the most court ladies in Chengqian Palace, although there shouldn't be so many according to regulations, but who makes Chengqian Palace favored!The imperial concubine is sensible and abides by the rules, and she doesn't want to ask for more people.But he couldn't stand the emperor's great favor, and wished that all the maids could stay in Chengqian Palace to serve the imperial concubine and the newborn fourth prince.When there are many people, there will naturally be a difference between superior and inferior.Sangzhi, as a maid serving outside the palace, could not avoid being summoned by a court lady with seniority and seniority.
It was nearly September, and people in the palace called it the chrysanthemum moon, which was the season when the autumn was breezy and the chrysanthemums were blooming.The imperial concubine was kind and sent someone to Yongshou Palace to deliver some seasonal fresh fruits and chrysanthemums.Yongshou Palace is the residence of Concubine Jing, who was abolished. Concubine Jing has always been jealous, hated the imperial concubine, and even the maids of Chengqian Palace.Naturally, Concubine Jing couldn't touch the imperial concubine, but all the maids of Chengqian Palace who went to Concubine Jing's place would not fail to be made things difficult.But what about the maids?After all, Concubine Jing is also the master, and was once a queen.Although she is deposed now, she is still the empress dowager's niece after all. Although the palace people treat her coldly, they dare not go too far.So every time they went to Yongshou Palace, everyone would blame each other behind the back of the imperial concubine, picking newcomers and sending them away who were easy to bully.
Not long after Sangzhi arrived, the task of going to Yongshou Palace this time naturally fell on her.Tong'er, who assigned her to go, also lied to her, "When you arrive at Yongshou Palace, you may meet the famous person next to the Queen Mother—Aunt Su Ma. This is a blessing that no one else can ask for in a few lifetimes."
Sangzhi thought to himself, if you really think so, would you still let me go?
But thinking about it, she is new here and cannot make enemies.It is quite far from Chengqian Palace to Yongshou Palace. Originally, it would be closer if we walked directly through Kunning Palace and Jiaotai Palace, but how can we walk casually to those places?So you have to go around in a big circle, go north along the East Sixth Palace, pass Zhongcui Palace and pass through the Imperial Garden. This is the Kunning Gate behind Kunning Palace, and then turn south after reaching Yangxingzhai. To the boundary of the West Sixth Palace.You have to go through Chuxiu Palace and Yikun Palace to reach Yongshou Palace.It takes a whole day to go back and forth, just running errands is exhausting, it is really a hard job.But Sang Zhi doesn't care, she just takes exercise.By the way, you can also enjoy the antique interior of the Forbidden City, why not do it!
Since becoming a court lady, Sang Zhi has made little progress except that her mentality has become more and more peaceful.Probably because I know that I am too small and have no choice but to accept all this, so I can only let myself face it with a more suitable state of mind.
She walked all the way unhurriedly, but she didn't dare to show a leisurely attitude, but her mood was indeed relaxed.Compared with doing those rough jobs, walking is a beautiful job for her.Because she was in a relaxed mood, she thought wildly, and she always felt that the Aunt Su Ma that Tong'er was talking about was somewhat familiar.
"Great Aunt Su Ma... Aunt Su Ma..." She murmured silently in her heart, and when she reached Yangxing Zhai, she was suddenly startled, "La Aunt Su Ma?!" Sang Zhi was startled.All along, she knew nothing except that she was in the Qing Dynasty.I always stay in Xinzheku, I know very little. I was wondering if I also lived in the Kangxi and Yongzheng era, and if there are any famous actors from the fourth elder brother and eighth elder brother, but now I think of Lagu Su Ma , She was taken aback, "Lagu Su Ma—the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang? That imperial concubine who favors the sixth palace, could it be...Concubine Dong E?"
Except for Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E, she really couldn't think of any other concubine who was so favored in the history of the Qing Dynasty.
Such a guess, combined with what she knew in the past six months, made a deduction.Sangzhi was a little depressed. She didn't know much about the history of the Shunzhi period. In fact, most of her knowledge of the history of the Qing Dynasty came from film and television dramas, so it didn't seem to help her much.As for who is the queen of Shunzhi——Sangzhi has no idea.She remembered Shunzhi entirely because of the emperor's love between Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E.
Basically determined the age he was in, but it was of no use.Sang Zhi sighed softly, it's better to save his life.
It was nearly dusk when we arrived at Yongshou Palace.The Yongshou Palace was indeed deserted, and the eunuchs guarding the gate of the palace were also lazy and uninspired.
Sangzhi cleared his throat and said slowly, "Good evening, both of you. I am Sangzhi from Chengqian Palace. I am here to deliver some seasonal fresh goods to Concubine Jing by order of the imperial concubine."
As soon as the little eunuch heard that she was from Chengqian Palace, he immediately changed his face, smiled flatteringly and invited her in, and muttered, "The imperial concubine is kind-hearted, and she never forgets the concubine Jing."
She was exchanging pleasantries when the gatekeeper suddenly looked behind her and asked, "Who are you?"
Sangzhi turned her head and saw a girl in a green skirt followed behind her at some point, her appearance was very upright, her complexion was fair and greasy, and her oval face was extremely dignified and classically beautiful.The girl rolled her eyes, "I'm with her."
The gatekeeper eunuch glared at her, "Nonsense! I clearly saw you running from the side. Where's the little palace lady, you're so unruly!"
This girl was indeed dressed as a court lady, but when her eyes looked at Sang Zhi, Sang Zhi felt that she was different from other court ladies.How exactly it is different, Sangzhi can't say.The most intuitive feeling is probably that this little maid looks very beautiful, unlike the gentleness and delicateness of ordinary court ladies, she is more dignified and generous.She looked straight into Sangzhi's eyes, but said to the gatekeeper, "If you don't believe me, ask her!"
Sang Zhi moved her lips, wanting to deny it, but met the girl's eyes for some reason, and lied in a strange way, "Yes, she came with me. It's just that I just fell down. I originally let her Resting in the back, who would have followed me again." He turned his eyes away and looked at the eunuch, "That's why I ran over from the side."
The eunuch looked at her suspiciously, and then sized up the young girl, "Really? Miss Sangzhi, in this palace, don't mess around with things you shouldn't meddle in, or you will be the one who is in trouble."
Sang Zhi's heart tightened.Why didn't she know that she could still be shot while lying down in this palace, it was a great fortune to be able to protect herself wisely.But looking into the girl's eyes, she just couldn't say a word of denial.Maybe it's been a long time since I've seen such a straightforward and fearless normal person.This girl is definitely not an ordinary court lady, but Sangzhi has been depressed for too long, she is out of tune with the entire Forbidden City, she can't bear this kind of life with clear levels and no human beings at all, so even though she knows that the girl is different, she can't bear it in her heart. Feeling nostalgic, she longed to see a "normal person", so she smiled, and instead held the girl's hand sideways, the girl was startled, struggled a little but did not break free, met the warning eyes of Sangzhi, and pursed her eyes. Pursing her lips, she let Sang Zhi pull her.Sangzhi asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
The girl didn't answer.
Sang Zhi was in a hurry, "Say it quickly."
Then I heard the girl whisper, "Su Le, you can call me Su Le."
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, held the girl's hand, and said to the little eunuch, "Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law, but she is indeed with me."
The little eunuch looked at her, "What's her name?"
Hearing this, Sang Zhi glanced at the girl with a little complacency, "Su Le." Su Le turned his face away.
The little eunuch couldn't see the clue, and the people in Chengqian Palace were not easy to offend, so they let them in.
Sang Zhi took her hand and walked all the way to the courtyard, the girl broke free, showing a calm and proud appearance.Sangzhi is not afraid either, she is not like an ordinary court lady, knowing that this young girl deliberately hides her identity, she deliberately teases him, "Your real name is Su Le?"
"You ask too many questions." The girl looked up into her eyes, "You are so courageous, no court lady dares to look into other people's eyes."
Sang Zhi just laughed, "Aren't you looking into my eyes too? Which palace are you from? You're so bold."
The girl choked on her, bit her lip, and snorted.
Sang Zhi was very happy, "Then I will call you Su Le. What are you doing here?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Su Le turned and left.
Sang Zhi followed and held her hand, "No, I brought you in, and I have to watch you. Otherwise, something really happened, and I can't afford it."
"It's too late to worry about this now." Su Le glanced at the hand that was being held, "Let go."
"Don't let me go." Sang Zhi raised her eyebrows, thinking that this girl might be some kind of Princess Princess, but she pretended not to know, and just said, "Look at you, you haven't entered the palace soon, right? I'm older than you, you fit You should call me elder sister. Why are you so unruly and cold-spoken."
Su Le was angry, "You!"
"There are still no rules." Sang Zhi saw that she did not dare to reveal her real identity, so she said, "If you don't call out my sister, I will invite you out and say that you lied to me just now, and you will be punished." Got it."
"Presumptuous!" Su Le's face turned cold, but his face flushed with anger, "You can't escape the responsibility if you say it."
Seeing this scene, Sang Zhi already decided that the little girl must be the princess of some palace.So he secretly smiled in his heart, although he was determined to eat her, he didn't notice it on his face, "Then I'll call someone." He cleared his throat with gestures, and as soon as the word "ah" was pronounced, Su Le quickly covered her mouth, glared at her angrily, and reluctantly said, "Sister!"
"Hey——" Sang Zhi couldn't help laughing, and pinched the tip of her nose with crooked eyebrows, "You're so good!"
Su Le knocked her hand off, "You... are bold! Don't touch me again!"
"Tch!" Sang Zhi pretended to be ignorant, "You are a little court lady, not as old as me, so what if I touch you!" He smiled and scratched the bridge of her nose again, "What can you do to me?"
Su Le was ashamed and uncomfortable, bit her lips angrily and said coldly, "Are all the people in Chengqian Palace so shameless!"
Sang Zhi raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "Su Le, you have to bow your head under the eaves. You should know your identity. Cheng Qian Palace is also something you can talk about casually?"
But he didn't want these words to make Su Le sneer, glanced at the time fresh on Sang Zhi's shoulders, and walked towards the palace with his hands shaken.

"Su Le!" Sang Zhi hurriedly called her, "I'll wait for you to go out together!" Although he had just brought the girl in on impulse, Sang Zhi was still worried.In order not to fall into the trap of others, you have to do a full set of acting.When she brought people in, she had to take them out, otherwise something would happen, and she might lose her life.
Su Le's footsteps paused, Sang Zhi thought she couldn't speak, but unexpectedly she said "hmm".Sang Zhi was greatly relieved.I thought to myself, this princess is still very general!Although it is really unreliable to pretend to be a court lady and come to Yongshou Palace.
She was guarding in the courtyard of Yongshou Palace, and soon a nanny would come, and she didn't look good when she saw her, "No! Our mother is not that expensive, so I don't need these."
Sang Zhi hurriedly said, "Where is the nanny, the concubine Jing is here to pray for the emperor, the most precious, so you should use the best seasonal goods."
The nanny glanced at her, "You mean, I was wrong?"
"No, no, no," Sang Zhi was sweating coldly, "the mother's words have their own reasons, but these melons and fruits can also make the icing on the cake for the empress, it's a good thing, why not accept it?"
The nanny was still waiting to make things difficult, when suddenly an aunt in her thirties came out of the room. Even though the nanny was older than her, she had to salute her, "Hello, Miss Jin." It was Concubine Jing's personal maid, Jinxiu.
Sang Zhi had a lively mind, although she didn't know who this girl Jin was, but judging by the situation, this girl Jin probably had a high status, so she hurriedly saluted according to her seniority, and respectfully said, "I met Aunt Jin. "
Jinxiu glanced at her, "He's quite discerning." She winked at the nanny, and the nanny reluctantly took the fruit basket from Sangzhi's hand, and went into the house.
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Jin Xiu smiled and invited her to sit down in the courtyard, but Sang Zhi repeatedly declined, she dared not sit on an equal footing with this aunt Jin.So Jinxiu sat down and she stood by herself.
When Jinxiu looked at her again, her eyes became more and more appreciative, "Are you from Chengqian Palace?"
"Yes." Sang Zhi lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, like a well-behaved court lady.
Jinxiu smiled, "Is Xin going not long ago?"
"Yes."
"It's common for new maids to be bullied." Jinxiu looked at her sympathetically, "Just get through this period and get through it."
Sangzhi was grateful, and felt that Yongshou Palace was not as scary as everyone described!At least, this Aunt Jin is a good person.She smiled at Jin Xiu sincerely, "Thank you, Aunt Jin, for teaching me."
Jinxiu sighed, "Don't be too polite, just sit down. I haven't had a heart-to-heart conversation with anyone for a long time, so don't stick to these etiquettes when seeing you hit it off."
Sangzhi still refused, so Jinxiu forced her to sit down.Then she winked at the girl beside her, and that girl came over with cakes and drinks and placed them in front of them.
It was fine if Sang Zhi didn't sit down, and when she sat down on an equal footing with Jinxiu, she didn't have the slightest fear in her heart.As soon as this mental state came out, Jinxiu couldn't help but look at her more, but Sang Zhi kept in mind the words of Li Yingrong, the head of Yeting Palace, and looked down at Jinxiu with a low eyebrow.
Jinxiu asked, "Which banner are you under? Who else is in the family?"
Sang Zhi didn't know anything about these things, but he didn't dare not answer, so he said indiscriminately, "Zheng Huang Qi is wrapped, and there is no one at home."
"Poor thing." Jinxiu looked at her lovingly, then handed her a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, "Try it."
Sang Zhi got up to thank him, but dared not accept it.It is too rude to talk and eat in front of elders.Even without the court rules, Sang Zhi would never eat it.But this reward had to be accepted, so he took it and held it in his hand without eating it.
Jinxiu pulled her to sit down again, "Don't be so polite. I feel sorry for you and feel sorry for you. You have walked a long time from Chengqian Palace to here?" Jinxiu poured her a glass of water, "Aren't you tired and thirsty? There are no outsiders here in our Yongshou Palace, so don't be afraid, there is food and drink here, you can eat and drink as much as you want."
He motioned for her to eat pastries, and brought the water glass to her.Sangzhi's heart warmed up, and she looked at Jinxiu with emotion, "Thank you, Aunt Jin."
But he didn't dare to be too unruly, so he took a small sip of his saliva and moistened his throat.She was indeed tired and thirsty.Jinxiu watched her drink the water and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid."
Sangzhi took a bite of the pastry lightly.
Jin Xiu sighed, "I've never seen a new court lady like you—" She spoke with admiration in her eyes, but she was interrupted by a figure before she finished speaking, "Aunt Jin!"
It turned out to be Sule.
When Sang Zhi saw her coming out, she was overjoyed, "Su Le." But she didn't realize that when she called this name, Jin Xiu's face instantly became gloomy.
Su Le hurried over, grabbed the cake in her hand and threw it on the table, "Let's go." She took Sang Zhi's hand and left.Sang Zhi didn't know why, but suddenly heard a stern voice behind him, "Su Le."
Su Le beside him paused, without turning his head, he still held Sang Zhi's hand tightly, "Let's go."
Sang Zhi looked back, could the person standing at the door be Concubine Jing?She was indeed pretty, about the same age as Jinxiu, but she was cold and gloomy.
She was in a trance when suddenly Su Le led her to a halt.Looking up, it turned out that it was Jinxiu who stopped them, looking at Su Le timidly.
Su Le held her hand tightly, "I asked her to bring me in, so I will go out with her." She held Sang Zhi's hand tightly, looking up at Jinxiu.After a while, cold sweat began to break out on Jinxiu's forehead, and she turned her gaze over the two in front of her to Concubine Jing behind them.
Su Le didn't care so much, and walked slowly while pulling Sang Zhi.Jinxiu didn't dare to stop her either.After leaving Yongshou Palace, the little eunuch who guarded the gate saw them coming out and greeted them as usual.But after walking a few steps, Sang Zhi suddenly felt cramping in his stomach and dizzy from a headache.Her feet gave way and she fell on Su Le.
Su Le supported her and called softly, "Sangzhi?"
Sang Zhi didn't know whether to cover his stomach or hold his forehead, so he forced a smile, "I don't know why, I feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden."
Su Le was silent for a while, "I'll take you to the imperial doctor."
"No need," Sang Zhi refused her, "I have to go back and report quickly." She frowned, "Maybe I caught cold last night, and I walked too much today, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Chengqian Palace is too far away from here." , I’m afraid I’ll be punished if I don’t go back.”
"Chengqian Palace..." Su Le's eyes changed, and the hand that held her loosened, "That's right."
Sangzhi barely stood still, and muttered, "Why is it so serious all of a sudden? I've been fine all day." Her body went limp again, as if she was about to be unable to stand.Su Le supported her again, "I'll take you back." She actually carried Sang Zhi towards the Longfu Gate leading to Jiaotai Hall, and Sang Zhi hurriedly pressed her hand, "Jiaotai Hall How can you go indiscriminately?"
Jiaotai Hall is one of the three rear palaces of the inner court. The Qianqing Palace is in the front and the Kunning Palace is in the back. It is the place where the emperor and concubines lived.Here is the most heavily guarded, and you cannot walk around at will.Sang Zhi's face was pale, and he said helplessly, "I can't go there because of my identity."
She thought, even if Su Le was a geek, he would have to be punished if he went to the third palace without edict.If she was a little maid who came in and out at will, wouldn't she be courting death!Moreover, the guards at the Longfu Gate were not vegetarians, so how could they let them in.Why bother to seek guilt in vain.
Su Le seemed to have just come back to his senses, paused to look at Sang Zhi, and suddenly asked, "Did you drink water just now besides the pastry?"
"Take a sip." After Sang Zhi finished speaking, her heart shook, and she looked at Su Le in disbelief.Su Le looked down at her, "Spit it out."
Sang Zhi froze, unable to believe it.Judging from Su Le's tone, did she have a problem with eating and drinking just now?Sang Zhi really couldn't believe it, that Aunt Jin who teased and laughed at Yan Yan secretly poisoned her?She couldn't stop trembling, but she didn't dare to delay any longer. She quickly stretched her hand to her throat and vomited.When she was about to vomit out her own gall, the pain in her body actually eased.
But even so, Sang Zhi was scared out of his wits.Just now, I just thought I had caught a cold, and didn't think about poisoning at all. I never expected that I would just walk through the gate of hell so quietly!She glanced at Su Le, if Su Le hadn't been moved with compassion, and she ate a little more cautiously, otherwise she would definitely have eaten the pastry and drank enough water with Aunt Jin's smiling face, and she might have died suddenly on the spot.
"Why...why..." Sang Zhi collapsed, "I didn't do anything..." She fell to the ground.
Su Le looked at her and said nothing.
Sang Zhi suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Su Le suddenly—because of this girl? !Yes, yes!Sang Zhi thought, Su Le is not a palace lady, maybe because she violated the palace rules or lost the royal face by pretending to be a palace lady, so she wanted to kill the insider.Sang Zhi's heart was as cold as freezing in nine cold days, so dangerous, so dangerous, she almost died inexplicably without even realizing it.
This deep palace, this inner court, this damned Qing Dynasty, killing people without blood, human life is as thin as paper, is there anything more terrifying than this place? !Sang Zhi's throat tightened, and he felt that his mind was in a mess.She didn't say a word, and after a while, she forced a smile to Su Le, "It's getting late, I should go back."
Su Le watched her get up staggeringly, and gradually disappeared from sight.
The sky was getting dark gradually, Sang Zhi tightened his clothes, but still felt chills all over his body.Sure enough, there is no room for willfulness in the court.She looked up at the long and depressing towering city walls, and felt for the first time that the Forbidden City was a terrifying and gigantic beast that locked and trapped the people inside, making them hopeless.
Killing is silent, death is nameless.Everything is going on silently, life and death, good and evil, under the grand bustling, there are many bones, mountains of knives, fire, sea of blood and rain of blood.
Sang Zhi lowered her eyes, hiding her emotions.She finally realized that she had underestimated the danger and brutality of this city.
☆、Text 06
Jinxiu followed up quietly, and saluted Su Le respectfully, "Empress Empress."
The girl's full name is Borzigit Sule. She is the niece of Concubine Jing after the abolition. She was born in the family of Manzhu Xili, Prince Darhan Batulu, the left-wing consul of the Horqin Tribe. Her father is the Duke of Horqin Town.She is delicate and bright, and is the most beloved jewel in the palm of her father. She has inherited the calm and brave characteristics of the Manzhu Xili family. She is good at riding and shooting, and is good at equestrianism.
Her aunt, Borzigit Mengguqing, is the daughter of Borzigit Wu Keshan, Prince of Horqin Zhuoliketu in Mongolia. A queen, never liked by the emperor.Later, the emperor insisted on abolishing the empress regardless of the opposition of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the empress dowager, and demoted Meng Guqing to a side concubine, who is now Concubine Jing.
The following year, Borzigit Sule was elected to the palace and became the second queen.That year, she was only 13 years old.But soon after entering the palace, she suffered the same fate as her aunt, and was deeply despised by the current emperor.Maybe it was because she was young and didn't understand Cheng Huan, or because she was stubborn and refused to bow to the emperor, or because the emperor didn't like women from the Horqin family, in short, she was abandoned in the middle palace.
She is now 16 years old, and the four years in the deep palace have polished the originally smart and intelligent girl into a taciturn successor little queen.Her actions and behaviors must conform to the palace rules and etiquette at every turn. Not only can she no longer be as happy and free as before, but she must always be cautious in her words and deeds, lest the emperor find fault with her.
She is a queen, but she only bears a false name.However, this false name was enough to tire her for the rest of her life.
There are so many women in the world who envy and covet the position in the middle palace, and everyone is staring at her, hoping that she will make a mistake, so that they can make trouble and pull her down.At first, she was on pins and needles.At that time, I always thought that if she had a choice, she would rather be the lowest pariah than suffer as a queen.But later she understood that she was Horqin's daughter, and she carried the entire Horqin family on her shoulders.The daughter of the Horqin family has absolutely no reason to admit defeat.The emperor doesn't like her being a queen, so she just wants to sit firmly in this seat.What's more, even if she can't be a queen, she still can't leave the Forbidden City.From the moment she stepped into the middle palace, from the moment she was called the queen empress, she was destined to be trapped in this majestic and huge palace for the rest of her life.
She is Borzigit Sule, a 16-year-old little queen.
Jinxiu bowed her head and put on a robe for her, "It's getting late and the cold air is heavy, Empress Empress should go back to Kunning Palace earlier."
Su Le stood still, and waited for Jinxiu to fasten her outer robe before saying calmly, "Tell aunt, don't touch that maid."
"Empress!" Jinxiu knelt down in front of her immediately, "Empress Empress, that girl is from Chengqian Palace, and... also knows your name, if it is publicized, I'm afraid it will be bad for you. Empress Empress, please Think twice!"
Su Le glanced at her blankly, "Now, am I the queen, or is Concubine Jing the queen?"
Jin Xiu hurriedly kowtowed, not daring to say more, "Your servant... definitely bring the words."
"Jinxiu," Su Le looked at her, "Now your life is equal to Sang Zhi's life, if Concubine Jing dares to act recklessly, don't blame me for being merciless."
Jinxiu shook her body and bowed her head deeply, "Your servant obeys."
"Get up." Su Le stood upright, making a gesture of support, making Jinxiu break into cold sweat, "Don't dare to be a servant!"
Su Le sighed softly, "Jinxiu, don't blame me for speaking harshly. It's just my aunt's method, and you know it."
Jinxiu didn't speak.After a long while, I dared to say, "Empress Empress, Concubine Jing is also doing it for your own good. Why do you have to be a member of Chengqian Palace for the sake of a little maid..."
Su Le paused, his eyes filled with confusion.She looked at the brightly lit lights in the distance, and murmured, "Maybe...it's too boring. This palace...is really boring." She smiled, "Jinxiu, do you dare to look at me? ?”
Jinxiu took a step back in fright, "Damn this servant!"
"Hey——" Su Le shook his head and smiled, "Why do you die? You didn't make a mistake. But... Sangzhi dared. She seems... different from other court ladies."
"It must be that Sang Zhi didn't learn the rules well, and she should be taught|taught." Jinxiu kept her head down, "However, when I saw her today, I know the rules. Maybe it's... maybe it's because she thought that you, the empress, are too. Maid, that's why there are no rules."
Su Le pursed her lips, "She has already seen it. Even if she doesn't know who I am, at least she must have guessed that I am not a court lady. Sang Zhi is very smart and interesting." His voice suddenly became cold, "It's a pity that Cheng Qian People from the palace." Her eyes deepened, "There are all wonderful people in Chengqian Palace."
The last sentence without distinguishing between emotions and anger made Jinxiu confused about her mood, so she could only say, "It's all because of the emperor's favor. Empress, as long as you put your heart into it, the honor and favor in the future will not be weaker than that of Concubine Dong E."
Su Le had a half-smile, "I'm not Concubine Jing." Then he said, "Send me back."
Jinxiu couldn't fathom a meaningful sentence, but the empress did not dare to neglect her order, "Yes!" She led the empress, who was pretending to be a court lady, back to Kunning Palace, and the journey was not eye-catching.
After returning to Yongshou Palace, I told Concubine Jing all these words. After hearing this, Concubine Jing sighed for a long time, "Su Le is better than me."
Jinxiu said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself, after all the empress is still young."
"No," Concubine Jing shook her head, "She is young, but she has a clear mind. She is indeed a woman of Horqin."
Concubine Jing smiled, "The thing that Su Le is better than me is that he is ruthless to the emperor. Since ancient times, the ruthless emperor's family, I myself have been fooled, thinking that I have a relationship with him as a young couple, but I forgot that he is not an ordinary man. Son of Heaven. It’s what I want, not a person.” He added, “Since Emperor Taizong entered the Central Plains, Horqin’s daughter has become the best candidate for empress. Empress Xiaoduanwen——Borzigit Zhezhe, ( Empress Xiaozhuang Wen) is now the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng——Borzigit Bumbutai, and the next queen recorded in the annals of history will be Borzigit Sule. My Horqin family will follow Da The glory of the Qing Dynasty will never be defeated." She twisted the wick, her expression was full of pride, which concealed a lot of haggardness.
"Then... what about Sangzhi?" Jinxiu said, "As long as you treat the empress and empress empress well, Jinxiu is not afraid of losing one's life."
Concubine Jing sighed, "Forget it. Su Le's child, she can do it as soon as she says it. Now that she is in the middle palace, I can't confront her head-on. She is willing to part with you, but I am not. She is not my own, she is I don't feel bad."
Jinxiu's heart was agitated when she heard this, and she kowtowed in thanks, "Thank you, Madam, for your mercy! The slaves are smashed to pieces, there is nothing to repay!"
"Get up." Concubine Jing stroked her temples, and Jin Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to knead her, "Are you feeling better?"
"En." Concubine Jing confirmed again with her eyes closed, "What's the maid's name?"
"Go back to your mother, Sang Zhi."
"What do you think of her?"
"According to the servant girl, she is quite reasonable. It's just that the servant girl also thinks she's a bit different."
"Oh?" Concubine Jing became interested, "Why is it different?"
Jinxiu thought for a while, "She... seems like a master." Then she quickly changed her words, "No, she obeys the rules in every move, and there is nothing she can find fault with. She was also born in Shangsanqi Baoyi, and she has been a slave for generations, but It always makes people feel that she is different from the other maids, even if the servants are in front of her, they can't help but give her a high look."
Concubine Jing opened her eyes, "That said, it's really interesting. Come back next time and bring me in to meet you."
"Yes." Jinxiu said again, "Sang Zhi knows the name of the empress...to call the empress by her name is really courageous and outrageous!"
"It doesn't matter," Concubine Jing said, "Based on what Su Lena said, the one named Sangzhi also guessed that she is not a palace lady. Since that is the case, that palace lady would not dare to talk nonsense." She sighed again, "This palace Ah, it's really not interesting. It's not like when I was in the grassland, the sky is wide and the land is wide, and the pride of leaping horses and whips. This place is really aggrieved by Su Le. If she wants to have fun, then let her go, just don't go out What's wrong."
Jinxiu said, "Mulberry branch must be the virtue accumulated by the ancestors, which can enter the eyes of the empress."
Sangzhi didn't know Jinxiu's words, she just felt that she must have been unlucky for eight lifetimes to be a court lady in the Qing Dynasty.I even wondered if my ancestors dug other people's graves, so I was unlucky to meet that Gege named Su Le.When others went to Yongshou Palace to deliver things, at most they would be scolded and stared at, but she was lucky and almost lost her life.
She walked back all the way quickly, sweating all over, which made her body feel better.But how dare you underestimate poisoning!So as soon as I came back, I quickly drank water after handing over the task.I wanted to go to the imperial doctor, but it was already dark, and it was almost curfew time, so she couldn't go out anymore.But my heart has been uneasy, I don't know how much toxins are left in my body.
There is really no way, she came up with a bad move.In the cold autumn night, Sangzhi poured cold water so hard that she had to have diarrhea.Sure enough, as she wished, when the clapper rang at Xushi, she ran straight to the latrine.It didn't stop all night, and when I woke up the next day, my whole body was exhausted.
The palace maids all get up at three o'clock at Yinshi, and they start to get busy at Maoshi.Sangzhi didn't expect that he not only had diarrhea, but also caught cold after running around the latrine all night, and started to have a fever.Seeing her like this, Tong'er complained angrily, "I thought I was some kind of master who was rich and honored, and after a trip to Yongshou Palace, I got tired and sick. It seems like I bullied her." She said it as if she didn't bully Sangzhi.
Sang Zhi didn't have the strength to refute at all.The leading maid outside the hall also kicked her, "Don't pretend to be dead, unless you die now, or get up and work for me!"
Simply inhuman!Sang Zhi was annoyed, but she was really weak and had no strength to fight, the leading maid was relentless, and she might have to use a whip to greet her again.She didn't want to suffer the immediate loss, so she desperately propped herself up to wipe the ground.
Tong'er looked at it coldly, "Just say it's just pretending. It's not a good job!"
Sang Zhi felt dizzy and dizzy, she only hoped to stay on until her shift, and then go to the imperial doctor.But she didn't eat much. She had diarrhea all night and had a fever, so she was so weak that she couldn't see what was on the ground when she wiped it.So she didn't see people coming out of Chengqian Palace one after another, so she just knelt outside the palace and wiped the steps.
After a long time, she suddenly felt that the surroundings were quiet, and she raised her head with blurred eyes, and saw a fairy-like figure standing not far away, Pingting was as graceful as snow and jade.Unexpectedly, she doesn't look like a mortal woman. Her fluttering robes have the meaning of being elegant and elegant, and she has a good temperament, just like a fairy concubine.
The fairy stood in front of her, "Are you uncomfortable?" The voice was soft and soft, which made people feel heart-warming.
Sang Zhishao's mind was muddled, "I'm poisoned."
He heard the voice say again, "Come here, please ask the imperial doctor."
In a daze, Sang Zhi heard an anxious voice, "Sang Zhi, hold on!" That voice seemed to be Green Warbler.
The author has something to say: the queen's name is taboo, except for the royal family and close relatives of the family, basically no one knows it.Even the royal family has to be a direct royal family, and those who are farther away don't know.
And after entering the palace, there is basically no need for names and taboos, and no one will call them at all.Unless there are particularly close elders who are alone in private, they can only be called occasionally.
For example, when Concubine Jing's imperial edict was announced to the world, there was no nomination taboo at all, only one surname——
The Zierborjijin clan is the daughter of Wu Keshan, Prince Zhuoliketu of the Horqin Kingdom.Yuxiuyimen, the royal family of Zhongling, has a pure speech and appearance, and follows the rules of history; the distance is leisurely, and the virtue of Anzhen is in harmony.I hereby accept the order of the Empress Dowager, and book you as the empress.It is beneficial to worship the pot fan, supress the political mother's ceremonies, raise her beauty in Ciwei, and take care of her roots in Yishi.Qinzai!
In that era, women were not on stage.Girls in ordinary people's homes may not even have names, and the oldest ones call them casually, like the eldest girl, the second girl, the third girl, and so on.The maids in the palace are not from ordinary people's families. They have a high status outside the palace, so they have a name, and usually the master who has no name after entering the palace will also be given a name, which is convenient for addressing.
