It should be the green warbler.But when he woke up, he found that he was the only one in Chuxiu Palace.

Sang Zhi touched his forehead, the fever has subsided.In the huge Chuxiu Palace, there are only a few cleaning ladies left, some are working outside, and some are mending clothes.She got up and poured a glass of water, and was about to put it in her mouth, when she saw Tong'er running over like a gust of wind, "Sang Zhi!"

Sang Zhi shook her hand, the water in the cup almost spilled on her body.When I waited to see Tong'er, I found that her attitude had changed drastically. Instead of yelling at me like before, she showed eagerness, "Sang Zhi, you're awake! Do you want some water? I'll pour it for you!"

As she spoke, she snatched the cup from Sang Zhi's hand, "The water is cold, I'll change it for you!" and poured her another cup.

Sangzhi couldn't laugh or cry.How could the water she just poured be cold!Tong Er was so attentive all of a sudden, and Sang Zhi was not used to it, "Tong Er, what do you do?"

Tong'er smiled affectionately, "It's my job to take care of you." Without allowing Sang Zhi to speak, Tong'er said to himself, "The imperial concubine is really a bodhisattva, Sang Zhi, you don't know how lucky you are! The imperial concubine personally summoned the imperial doctor for you, alas, your illness is really worth it!"

Tonger chattered endlessly, "But don't worry, the imperial doctor said that you have internal deficiency and fire, and you will be fine after drinking the medicine for two days." Then she took Sang Zhi's hand, "Sang Zhi, look at me You are so kind, if you are reused by the empress in the future, you must remember me."

After hearing so much, Sangzhi felt that the last sentence was what Tonger wanted to say.She roughly understood the process of the matter, and then silently sighed.The world is hot and cold, and people tend to follow others, why is it that it is difficult for court ladies and eunuchs to be like this?Sang Zhi sighed softly, probably because their slavish education was too deep in their bones, the maids and eunuchs entered the palace early, and they were born as slaves for generations, so they used to look at people and things with a snobbish eye.

After all, she is a court lady, how can Sangzhi rest for too long, but she barely rests for a day, and the next day she has to serve and work as usual.Although Tong'er treated her better, she didn't expect that Sang Zhi would be envied by the leading maid because she was treated by the imperial concubine and concubine, so she sneered at her coldly, "It's just that the master took a second look. What's the big deal! She's not a low|low-spirited court lady. Let me tell you, that's the imperial concubine with a kind heart, but it's not that you have any skills, so hurry up and go to work!"

Sang Zhi doesn't care about her for the time being, just pretends she can't see her.Tong'er didn't dare to offend the leading maid, and gradually alienated her.For a long time, I didn't see any other kindness from the imperial concubine to Sang Zhi, so the awe that the court ladies had for Sang Zhi because of that kindness disappeared.She was the last batch of maids to enter the Chengqian Palace, and she was the most inferior group in terms of seniority and background, and it was almost inevitable that she would be enslaved by the "old man".

In the blink of an eye, a month has passed in Chengqian Palace, Meng Dong has arrived, the north wind is lingering, and the weather is getting colder.During this period, Sangzhi didn't see the green warbler, which made her almost think that day was a hallucination.Even if Sangzhi seeks to live in peace, he can't do it, and the battle between the maids is so tragic.Fortunately, others don't take her seriously. She is the lowest maid, so even though she is bullied occasionally, there will be no such strong conflicts as between the leading maid and other court ladies.

Sang Zhi watched silently, feeling that the time was about to ripen.She silently endured the grievances for a month, in order to find out the temperament, habits, hobbies and shortcomings of these court ladies.Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.As a newcomer, naturally you can't act recklessly.But it's different now. Although she doesn't cause trouble, she must not let others bully her.It took her a month to see that these court ladies were doing their own thing, and none of them was sincerely interacting with others.That also means that there is no gang formation.In fact, court ladies are forbidden to engage in small gangs.But this is of great benefit to Sang Zhi, because it also means that no one else will intervene if any court lady is bullied. The point of "bullying the weak and fearing the strong" is even more vividly reflected.

The imperial concubine is in charge of the harem, and this month has come to distribute charcoal fires to the palaces.Firewood is not allowed in the palace to prevent water leakage.All palaces burn charcoal, and it is strictly forbidden to light a fire without permission.Sangzhi was still cleaning the window, and Tong'er brought over the charcoal again. The little maid had long since returned to her original attitude, bossing around Sangzhi, "Sangzhi, go to Yongshou Palace to deliver these charcoals."

Sang Zhi waited for this moment.This Tong'er's kung fu of chasing the momentum and stepping down is simply perfect, and she has the same problem as most court ladies.Sang Zhi sneered and shook the rag, "How long have I been in Chengqian Palace?"

"Who cares how long you've been here, hurry up and deliver the charcoal." Tong'er showed an annoyed face.

With a blank expression on her face, Sang Zhi walked directly in front of her and grabbed the charcoal basket, and pushed hard. Tonger might as well make a sudden move, and fell to the ground with a cry of surprise, and the charcoal in her hand fell to the ground.

"You!" Tong'er was furious, "Sangzhi, you dare to push me!"

Sang Zhi raised her chin slightly, "You accidentally fell."

"Nonsense!" Tong'er got up and was about to wrestle Sangzhi.Sang Zhi dodges.

The leading maid came over, "What are you doing!" She glanced at Sang Zhi, then at Tong'er, "Tong'er, Sang Zhi, what are you doing!"

Tong Er yelled, "Sister, Sang Zhi pushed me!"

"Who saw it?" Sang Zhi stood indifferently, "She fell down by herself."

Tong'er was in a hurry and wanted to fight when he came up.Sang Zhi didn't hide anymore, she just wanted to make Tong'er attract the attention of other court ladies here, now seeing Tong'er going crazy, Sang Zhi stood on both feet, took a good look at her coming, and When she rushed over, she slapped Tong'er's face with lightning speed.Tong'er was stunned.

All the maids were also shocked.

But Sangzhi still stood still, "She did it first, and everyone saw it." She stood awe-inspiring, and she still looked silent for a month.

The maids are always bullying and afraid of the tough, and now even the leading lady is a little timid.Although she is the leader, she just came earlier and has more senior qualifications, but in fact, like Sang Zhi and other court ladies, she has no rank and is just an inferior servant.

Sang Zhi said, "We are all the same court ladies, each of us should do our own thing well, and don't always think about ordering others. I don't care about some people, but it doesn't mean that person can push their noses. I, Sang Zhi, believe that I have never been a good man or a believer, it is best for everyone not to violate the water of the river, otherwise I am not afraid of death." After finishing speaking, he picked up his rag and continued to clean the window.

Tong'er came back to her senses and wanted to wrestle, but Sang Zhi suddenly turned her head and gave her a cold look.His eyes were both ruthless and fierce, and the gloomy look actually frightened her.She froze in place, covering her face and forgetting to cry.

Seeing that the momentum was not good, the leading maid did not dare to speak out.If the troubles spread here, everyone will be punished.So she sternly shouted, "Tong'er, why are you dawdling when I asked you to deliver charcoal! Don't forget the rules of Chuxiu Palace! If you delay things, how many heads can you afford!"

Tong'er was scolded.He just fell to the ground, his whole body was dirty, and his palm was broken.She was beaten again, the fingerprints on her face hadn't disappeared, and she was scolded now, but she didn't even dare to resist, let alone cry.According to the rules of Chuxiu Palace, crying is not allowed, which is unlucky.She endured it, and picked up the charcoal on the ground obediently.

The maids all went off to do their own things, but they just glanced at Sang Zhi from time to time.

Someone whispered, "I thought it was a boring gourd, who knew it would be so cruel."

Another echoed, "I said don't mess with her. See if I'm right? When she first came, I thought she was different."

The leading maid also swept Sang Zhi casually, cleared her throat and shouted, "You are not allowed to talk when you are working, you have forgotten the rules!" She bravely said to Sang Zhi, "Sang Zhi, don't forget to save Xiugong's rules!"

Sang Zhi glanced at her lightly, and said with a sneer, "What do you think you are? You are the same as us. Before you talk about us, tell yourself first, and don't forget the rules of Chuxiu Palace."

For a moment, Chuxiu Palace was completely quiet.The ladies in the court looked at Sang Zhi with different eyes, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.The leading maid hit a snag, glared at Sang Zhi bitterly, and said nothing.

On the side, Tong'er burst into tears silently, and she didn't dare to change her clothes, fearing that time would be too late, so she picked up charcoal pieces bit by bit.Sangzhi glanced at it, and then at it again.That Tong'er is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and in Sang Zhi's eyes, she is just an ignorant girl.Sangzhi casually looked at it several times, and couldn't help being moved with compassion.Her goal has been achieved, and she has given everyone a blow, letting everyone know that she is not easy to be bullied.Looking at Tong'er's little person now, she didn't dare to make a sound after being wronged, and she couldn't hold back the appearance of submissiveness.

Sang Zhi sighed, and as soon as he walked in front of Tong Er, Tong Er shivered, "What... do you want!"

She didn't expect her to be so scared.Sang Zhi pursed her lips and knelt down to help her pick up the charcoal.

Tong'er was stunned for a moment, not daring to look at her, but said, "You don't need to pretend to be kind!"

"Tong'er," Sang Zhi's voice was cold, "You are responsible for what happened to you today. You know in your heart whether you have bullied me. I thought you were young and treated you as a younger sister, so I was more patient with you. It's just that you don't want to regret changing things and making things worse, so you ended up like this."

Tong'er glanced at her, "Who wouldn't say good things!"

Only now did Sangzhi see that Tong'er's face was full of tears, and there were charcoal ashes on her face, she was really embarrassed.She sighed, "If you go to Yongshou Palace like this, I'm afraid you will be punished for the crime of flouting the palace rules."

Tong'er's tears fell even harder, "I'm a slave, and the master has to do what he wants to do. If the master wants me to die in the third watch, who dares to keep me until the fifth watch! Blame my life!"

Sang Zhi pondered for a while, although he wanted to help her, Sang Zhi still had lingering fears about going to Yongshou Palace.She looked around, no one would be willing to help Tong'er deliver it.Tong'er burst into tears, but she still didn't dare to make a sound.Sangzhi didn't say anything, just watched Tong'er with her head down, her thin body walking out step by step with the charcoal basket in her arms.

If she is really allowed to go out like this, I'm afraid it will be bad.The leading palace lady obviously also noticed this situation, and she scolded her loudly, "You don't know how to wipe your face, if you go out like this, you will lose Chengqian Palace's face!"

Tong'er is still obedient, "It's too late."

The leading maid came up and was about to take off her dirty clothes, "Just change here!" Tong'er was frightened and hurriedly tried to hide.

Sang Zhi rushed forward a few steps, pushed the leading maid away, "What are you doing!"

"Sangzhi, why are you pretending to be a good person! She is so disrespectful, if she is seen by the nanny, if she can't save her life, everyone here will be punished!"

Sang Zhi gritted her teeth and gave her a cold look, "I'll deliver it for her."

Tong'er looked at her in surprise.To be honest, Tong'er didn't dare to go to Yongshou Palace.Before Sangzhi came, she had always been the one who went to Yongshou Palace, and she would be scolded and insulted every time.When Sangzhi came, she was relieved.It's just that he shouldn't turn to bully Sangzhi.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Zhi broke out in a cold sweat and felt his legs go weak.She wanted to repent, but everyone around her seemed to be watching the show, especially the leading maid who seemed to be waiting to take advantage of her, so Sang Zhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Tong Er, I pity you." She took the charcoal Basket, glared at the leading maid, and still headed towards Yongshou Palace.

I was uneasy all the way, my legs became weaker and weaker as I walked, and I felt that I was looking for a dead end.After racking her brains, it suddenly occurred to her that it would be a big deal to hand over the charcoal to the two eunuchs guarding the gate.Sang Zhi thought to himself, if he doesn't go in and see Nanny and Aunt Jin, he will probably be fine, right?

Thinking again, I don't know if I will meet Su Le again.After calming down, Sangzhi felt somewhat emotional.Although the matter was caused by factors, if Su Le hadn't saved her, he would be dead now, right?Although she knew that she should never have entanglements with that girl in the future, and it was best to avoid it if she could, but she felt a little guilty for this thought.Of course she understood that what happened last time was not what Su Le meant, and in that day, Su Le seemed to be in conflict with Concubine Jing because of her?

Sang Zhi felt that Su Le was just an underage girl after all, and she probably didn't have a playmate, which was pitiful.She herself was moved with compassion and could not bear it.There is still a piece of softness hidden in the bottom of his heart, unlike people who have lived in the deep palace for a long time and don't know what softness is.

Sang Zhi always looks at everyone in this palace with compassion, thinking that they are all sacrifices of this era.These people either don't know how to be human, or know how to be human but can't behave well. Although it is inevitable that there are hateful things, they are all pitiful people in the final analysis.

She looks at it with the mentality of an outsider, even if she is among them, she is unwilling to become one.She thought, no matter what, she should not lose the fundamentals of being a human being.Even if there are mistakes, try to maintain the dignity of being a human being.She is the only one who is sober, so to save her life she should follow the trend, but her heart cannot also become a slave's heart.

But where is the end of this road?Sangzhi sees no hope.What spread was a sense of powerless despair, and Sang Zhi clutched the charcoal basket tightly, fearing that he would also be engulfed by this giant beast.

☆、Text 08

Uneasy all the way.When he was approaching the gate of Yongshou Palace, he saw the two young eunuchs guarding the gate from a distance, and Sang Zhi couldn't help but look around, unexpectedly looking for Su Le's figure subconsciously.

Sangzhi felt that he owed her a thank you.In the end, Su Le was a life-saving grace to her.However, after looking around, he didn't see anyone else besides himself.Sang Zhi felt a little lost in his heart.She suppressed her emotions, took a deep breath to suppress her fear, and walked forward boldly.The two young eunuchs already recognized her, and quickly smiled, "Miss Sangzhi."

"Hello, two father-in-laws." Sang Zhi held the charcoal basket tightly in his hand, and said with a smile, "I wonder if the two father-in-laws can do me a favor?"

Those two little eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you, and smiled meaningfully at her, "Miss Sangzhi, please tell me."

Sang Zhi couldn't understand their eyes, so he stuffed a few ounces of silver into each of the two hands without any trace, "Please take a break and help me send this basket of charcoal to the palace."

"Hmm..." The two young eunuchs weighed the silver respectively, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Sang Zhi quickly said, "Forgive me, my father-in-law, I just went to Chengqian Palace not long ago, and the monthly money is only five taels of silver, really..." She said awkwardly, "It's hard to do."

The two father-in-laws suddenly looked at her vigilantly, "What's wrong with you?"

Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and tentatively said, "Is it too tight?" Seeing the blank expressions of the two eunuchs, Sang Zhi's heart skipped a beat.Oops!She had forgotten that most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace were illiterate.The eunuch may also learn to recognize a few characters with the gift of the master, but the maids are never allowed to read.Unless she was born as a show girl, she would be able to read and write.But usually a beautiful girl will not become a palace lady, even if she becomes a palace lady, she will soon be promoted to a female official.

But the habits she has accumulated over the years, can she change it just by saying it?Sangzhi's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he laughed quickly, "I mean, if you don't have much money, you can't buy an elbow if you catch them all and save them together."

After speaking, I feel a toothache.Before the little eunuch could respond, Sang Zhi heard a chuckle behind her, and she turned her head to look, "Su Le!"

I don't know where Su Le came from.Sangzhi was surprised and delighted, but Su Le's eyes flickered, looking at her.Sang Zhi's face froze, she didn't know how much Su Le had heard those words just now.

Only then did the two young eunuchs say, "You don't need to buy elbows in the palace, the food is ordered by the imperial dining room."

"Yes, yes, what the father-in-law said is true." Sang Zhi was very embarrassed, but he wanted to pretend to be safe, "I also ask the two father-in-laws to help me."

Su Le held down her hand, "How could they leave their posts without authorization? Since you are here, why bother others? Could it be that every time you come here in the future, you have to ask them to do it?" Su Le did not allow Sang Zhi to refute. Her hand went straight in.

When stepping on the threshold, Sangzhi shuddered.Su Le glanced at her, and Sang Zhi quickly grabbed her, pleading with his eyes, "Su Le! I don't dare to go again."

"Then put it here." Su Le paused, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." She grabbed the charcoal basket from Sang Zhi's hand and put it on the ground, "Talk to me."

For her words, Sang Zhi felt inexplicably warm, and she dragged her to the well pavilion in the southeast of the courtyard.The octagonal roof is covered with yellow glazed tiles, which is a common imitation pavilion style in modern times.Yongshou Palace is the second courtyard in the shape of "日", the front yard is often empty, Concubine Jing and the palace people live in the back yard, Sang Zhi is a little worried about the charcoal basket that Su Le just randomly threw on the steps of the front yard.

Sang Zhi looked back at the charcoal basket from time to time, and Su Le couldn't help laughing, "If you don't worry, just take it here." Sang Zhi hesitated, and when she really wanted to get it, Su Le stopped her again, "There is no one here, why don't you take it?" Really go."

"..." Sangzhi said helplessly, "Sule, I'm just sending charcoal."

Su Le's expression faded, "It's stretched."

Sang Zhi's heart tightened, and he laughed, "Hehe, it's mainly because the well pavilion is too cold." She secretly looked at Su Le's expression, but saw Su Le pursed her lips and stared at her with interest, "Are you literate?"

Sang Zhi shook his head quickly.

Su Le didn't ask any more questions, and just said to himself, "Although Yongshou Palace is deserted, it is also clean."

Sang Zhi was not sure of her intentions, so he dared not answer.Su Le glanced at her, "Sangzhi, you are doing well today. When I saw me that time, I called you sister."

"This..." Sang Zhi bit her lip and said in a low voice, "...last time, I'm sorry... I won't dare in the future."

Su Le's face turned cold immediately, and it took a while to calm down, "Why don't you dare," she blinked, "Sister Sangzhi, I am also a palace maid."

Sang Zhi drooped her eyes, feeling complicated.Looking up at Su Le hesitantly, he saw the forbearing expectation hidden on the girl's face, as if she would ruin Su Le's beauty if she said a word.Sang Zhi's heart softened, and he couldn't bear to let down the girl's love, so he forced a smile and moved his lips, "It turns out that you look younger than me, and according to the rules of my hometown, you should be called sister. But I'm afraid you will enter the palace Earlier than me, my sister can't afford it."

"Since I call you sister, you can afford it." Su Le breathed a sigh of relief almost invisible, and was very interested in her words, "Where is your hometown? What are the rules?"

"My hometown," Sang Zhi couldn't help but look towards the sky, "my hometown is far away from here, and the rules are all good. But, I can never go back."

Su Le was silent for a while, "You can still wait for the maid to be released from the palace, there is hope." But in my life, there is no hope.

Sangzhi was noncommittal, and said softly, "I'll break my heart once I see it, so I won't go back." Besides, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back.Su Le looked up at her, "Sangzhi, who else is in your family?"

"I'm an only daughter." Sang Zhi was a little tired, and she was a little tired of pretending when she saw Su Le.Perhaps it is because Su Le herself is wearing a disguise, and they all have their own secrets.However, under the open secret of the two, they can say something at will.She turned to look at Su Le, "What about you? Where is your home?"

"Me?" Su Le was stunned, his eyes brightened, "My family is in Ke... on the grassland. Grassland, do you know?"

Seeing her happy expression, Sang Zhi became more brisk, "I know. I've been there before."

"You have been there!" Su Le showed nostalgia, "On the grassland, my equestrian skills are among the best!"

"Really?" Sang Zhi looked at her in surprise, "I really don't see how you can ride a horse at such a young age?"

Su Le was displeased, "Of course!"

"When did you enter the palace?"

"When I was 13. Well, I was in the palace for four years. What about you?"

"You really entered the palace earlier than me. Me..." Sang Zhi winked at her, "Well, it's a bit weird, I'm afraid you won't believe it."

Su Le was surprised, "Tell me about it."

"It is said that I should have been in the palace for two years. It seems that I was selected at the age of 17. Unfortunately, I was ill a while ago and burned my head, so I only remember the past six months."

Su Le looked at her suspiciously, "Have you burned your head?"

Sangzhi nodded.

"Did someone in your family teach you to read?" Su Le had a half-smile, "Have you burned your head to read?"

Sangzhi didn't expect that she would go around this question, and after thinking about it, she said, "I learned a little from others, and I can barely read a few words." She asked her, "You entered the palace at the age of 13, so are you 13 years old? Have you ever ridden a horse before?"

Su Le was a little proud, "People in my family have been able to ride horses since birth!"

"It's amazing." Sang Zhi sighed sincerely.

Su Le laughed happily.Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her original dignified look was covered by the girl's smile, showing a bit of playful complacency.

Infected by her, Sang Zhi sighed, "You're only 16 years old this year, I'm... nineteen." Sheng Lianxi stretched out his arms to hug her, and said with a smile, "You should call me sister."

Su Le froze, but seeing Sang Zhi's teasing eyes, she snorted, but did not break free.

The two were chatting in the empty front yard of Yongshou Palace, and before the sun went down, Sang Zhi sighed, "Time flies so fast, I should go back."

The smile on Su Le's face faded, "Chengqian Palace..."

"Su Le, why not smile!" Sang Zhi held her face in his hands, "You look so pretty when you smile."

Su Le raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Sangzhi, you really don't look like a court lady."

Sang Zhi looked into her eyes, "Neither do you."

They looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.There are too many identities and disguises in this palace, they don't need to delve into it.At least, for now, the two of them have no quarrel.They can bring joy to each other, and in this deep palace where there is no hope, it is a great fortune to have someone who can save themselves from having too many pretense.

There is no difference in status or status, Su Le is Sang Zhi's only friend at this moment.

But for Borzigit Sule, can Sangzhi be called a "friend" to her?She was just... so lonely.

☆, Qianqiu Festival

The half day spent with Su Le was the happiest period since Sangzhi came here.She actually began to look forward to going to Yongshou Palace.

Although she doesn't know Su Le's identity—Sang Zhi thinks of her as some Princess Princess, after all, Su Le is not very old—but Su Le is special to her.This kind of special is even more obvious when returning to Chuxiu Palace.Yes, Sang Zhi thought, what Su Le said was right, she was not like a court lady, and she couldn't bear the servility and submissiveness of a court lady.

The whole palace loathes her.

Sang Zhi felt resentful and didn't want to stay here at all.But she couldn't help herself and couldn't get out at all.Chengqian Palace is getting more and more busy, Sang Zhi is not thinking about it, and has been following Tuan Tuan Zhuan to do some rough envoys. I only heard that it is for the Qianqiu Festival, but I don't know what he is busy with.So he seized the opportunity and ran to Yongshou Palace, but he didn't see Su Le every time.She didn't even meet Su Le many times.One month has passed, and during this month, Sang Zhi was ordered to go to Yongshou Palace several times, but he never met Su Le.

Sangzhi is inevitably depressed.Not long after returning to Chuxiu Palace that day, I heard someone looking for her.Sang Zhi was overjoyed, thinking it was Su Le, but after thinking about it, he knew it was impossible.Su Le can never be a court lady, and she will never come to her.After going out to have a look, Sang Zhi was startled, "Green warbler!"

"Sister Sangzhi." Luying smiled sweetly, and when she was walking towards her, Sangzhi could see the envy of the nearby maids.After all, Luying was the one who followed the imperial concubine and empress, and her status was much higher than theirs.

Sangzhi also became happy, "Lvying, I finally see you!"

"Are you okay?" Luying smiled, "I haven't found time to come, so I just came to see you. Sister, don't you blame me?"

Sang Zhi smiled, "How could that be! I understand." Then he said, "Thank you for your reminder, otherwise I'm afraid I will be sent to Kunning Palace."

"You don't blame me for not taking good care of you, I'm very happy."

Sang Zhi shook his head, "Whether you are doing well or not is up to you. How can I blame you."

Luying was stunned, "Sister Sangzhi, you have changed a lot." She looked at Sangzhi, "Before, although you were older than me, you were like a child at heart, a kind big sister, I always worried about you You can't take care of yourself well. Now..." She paused, looking into Sang Zhi's eyes, "You are very different from before."

Sang Zhi avoids her eyes, "Yes, I have changed a lot. However, there is nothing I can do in the palace."

Then I heard the green warbler sigh, "You are right."

Sang Zhi changed the subject, "Why are you free today?"

Luying said, "I've wanted to see my sister for a long time, but I've been busy with the Qianqiu Festival this month. If it wasn't for the Yongshou Palace today, I wouldn't be able to find the time to come here."

"What happened to Yongshou Palace?"

"It's nothing, it's just that tomorrow is the Qianqiu Festival. According to the regulations, Concubine Jing will come to Chengqian Palace tomorrow to pay her respects, but Concubine Jing has never come...cough," Luying paused, "The imperial concubine always exempts her from the ceremony." , taking care of you in many ways, but on the Qianqiu Festival, you have to strictly abide by the etiquette and dare not go beyond the rules, so you sent me to Yongshou Palace to ask a question."

Sang Zhi seemed to understand but didn't understand, and thought, probably because it was a major festival, so Concubine Jing had to attend, but also because Concubine Jing always hated Chengqian Palace, if she didn't go to say hello and do work in advance, she was afraid that the festival would will be embarrassing.After all, this Qianqiu Festival seems to be a very important festival. Chengqian Palace is in charge of the harem, and if something goes wrong, it will be a big crime.So he pondered, "Are you going to Yongshou Palace?"

Lu Ying nodded, and sighed again, "Yongshou Palace has never given Chengqian Palace a good face. I came here to find the sisters who have been sent to Yongshou Palace to see if there is anything to pay attention to."

"..." The corners of Sang Zhi's mouth twitched, "I have always...been there."

Lu Ying showed surprise, "It's you?" Then her face darkened, "I should have expected it. People here are used to bullying, sister, you have a soft temper..." Lu Ying stood up, "I should come early."

Sang Zhi saw that her face was not looking good, and quickly grabbed her, "Luying, what are you going to do?"

"Sister, don't worry, I'm here, how can you be wronged!" Luying held her hand, raised her voice, looked around at the court ladies who dared not come forward, and said deliberately, "If someone bullies you in the future You are just bullying me." Her voice was not loud, but it was loud, and all the court ladies looked at each other for a while, looking at Sang Zhi with envy and fear.

Sangzhi paused, didn't he understand the reason for Luying's actions?He lowered his eyes.Luying can treat Sangzhi so well, which shows that Sangzhi is really kind-hearted and has no city.Otherwise, how could Lu Ying, who has such a means of easily winning the favor of the imperial concubine within a year or so, like her?Everyone in this palace wants others to be kind and easy to bully, but few people can love a kind heart.Lu Ying can do this, and Sang Zhi immediately has a good impression of her.She didn't say much, just took Lu Ying's hand gently, and said with a smile, "I didn't suffer any grievances. I am very happy to work with you in the same palace, and we are closer. Going to Yongshou Palace is What I am willing to do is just to run errands, and to do the same things as everyone else, it’s nothing.”

The maids at the side breathed a sigh of relief.Tong'er boldly said, "Yes, yes, Sister Luying, we all have a very good relationship with Sister Sangzhi."

Luying looked at her and said with a half-smile, "That's good. Sister Sangzhi is not a person who lives here for a long time. Sooner or later, she will be with me. If you can get along well now, there will be benefits in the future."

Tong'er was overjoyed, and wanted to flatter her, but Lu Ying held Sang Zhi back and said, "Since my sister often goes to Yongshou Palace, that would be great. My sister is troubled today, so you can go with me again, okay?"

There is no reason for Sangzhi not to follow.When I came out, I watched the green warbler walk with restraint all the way, and I sighed more and more in my heart.It wasn't until they got to a place where no one was there that Luying quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "Sister, did Yongshou Palace embarrass you?"

Embarrassed?Sang Zhi pursed her lips, "Not really." It just almost killed her.

"That's really strange," Luying looked at her, "I've never seen anything like this before."

Sangzhi smiled.

But Luying suddenly said, "I understand." She said to herself, "It must be because my sister is too kind and always treats people with sincerity. The Yongshou Palace is full of capable people who can judge people and judge others. Maybe they like my sister too."

"...Hehe, maybe." Sang Zhi felt ashamed on his face, thinking to himself—and finally understood why Sang Zhi himself died so quickly.If you are too kind in the inner garden of the palace, how can you live long?She didn't want to talk about this topic, so she said, "What kind of festival is this Qianqiu Festival? Is there such a major festival in October?" Sang Zhi counted with her fingers, but she couldn't find a decent one in October. Traditional festivals come—except for the National Day, of course, it is impossible to have the National Day at this time.

Hearing this, Lu Ying couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, don't you even know about the Qianqiu Festival?" She shook her head helplessly, "The third day of October every year is the queen's birthday, which is the Qianqiu Festival!"

"Ah..." Sang Zhi was a little embarrassed, "I forgot." In fact, she didn't know anything.After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "In other words, the Queen's birthday is the Qianqiu Festival. If the birthday is not on the third day of October, then tomorrow is not the Qianqiu Festival?"

"Naturally." Lu Ying was extremely patient, "The birthdays of the Empress and the Imperial Concubine are both called Qianqiu Festival."

Sang Zhi understood, "So it's the queen's birthday."

While talking, they had already arrived at Yongshou Palace, the two stopped talking and went to pay their respects.

☆, Yongshou Palace

Sangzhi is familiar with Yongshou Palace, and the little eunuch at the gate is also very familiar with her, but he doesn't recognize Luying.However, these little eunuchs naturally winked, seeing Lu Ying and Sang Zhi coming together, they secretly figured out the weight of Lu Ying and greeted, "Miss Sang Zhi, hello, both girls."

Sang Zhi saw that their expressions were quite reserved, and said with a smile, "Hi, father-in-law, this is Luying from Chengqian Palace, and I'm here to pay my respects to Concubine Jing."

"It just so happens that Aunt Cai from Kunning Palace is also there." The little eunuch said, "You two, wait a moment, let the young one go and report."

After a while, the little eunuch came back with a look of embarrassment on his face, "Concubine Jing said that today is busy and I don't have time."

Since he was nearly poisoned to death last time, Sang Zhi has hardly been made trouble again, so he couldn't help being surprised this time, "See you?"

The little eunuch nodded.

Luying's face was a little ugly, but she soon calmed down, and said with a smile, "Please, please go and inform me again. Although the empress is busy first, it will not be too late to call the slaves when you have time." This means to wait. up.

Sangzhi looked at her, but couldn't speak, so he could only stay silently by the side.The little eunuch didn't dare to be negligent, so he reported again as he said, and when he came back, he said, "Your Majesty said, just wait."

This waited from evening to night.Seeing that the curfew is coming, Concubine Jing still has no intention of summoning her.Sangzhi's legs were stiff, and the October night wind was blowing, making both her and the green warbler shiver.Sang Zhi was silent for a while, and finally spoke, "Are you still waiting?"

"Wait." Lu Ying's voice was extremely firm, "It's your mother's business that she refuses to summon her. If I don't try my best when I go back here, I will definitely be punished."

Sang Zhi frowned, "I heard that the imperial concubine has always been kind, so it's not like..."

Lu Ying shook her head slightly, "The imperial concubine is in charge of the six palaces, and the rewards and punishments are clear. Although she is kind, she will never tolerate doing wrong things. Besides, the Qianqiu festival is not a trivial matter, and nothing can go wrong. If the concubine Jing does not do it in advance If there is an accident tomorrow, not to mention me, I am afraid that the whole Chengqian Palace will not be able to explain it."

Sang Zhi felt depressed for a while.

The two young eunuchs looked at me and I looked at you, flatteringly said, "Miss Luying, you don't need to worry too much, who doesn't know that Chengqian Palace is the most favored, the one from Kunning Palace..." The eunuch lowered his voice , "I'm afraid that the emperor will not be happy this Qianqiu Festival. Even if Yongshou Palace really causes trouble tomorrow, it will definitely not be Chengqian Palace who will be punished."

Lu Ying sighed, "No matter how honorable and favored you are, you are still a member of the harem. It is not Cheng Qian who counts in the harem.
