I'm determined to be the dark moonlight

In the plot of the original book, the birthday of the queen mother is also a highlight in the history of the heroine's abuse.

It was the [-]th birthday of the Eastern Empress Dowager, and the palace was very lively, and every concubine racked her brains for the gift.The most common and safest items are all kinds of gold and silver jewellery, jewelry and porcelain, but the Queen Mother has been honored for decades and is used to these things, so there is nothing new.

Some concubines would embroider curtain embroidery with their own hands to show their filial piety and their exquisite workmanship.

In the original book, what the heroine prepares is also a white crane suit sewn by herself.The crane symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness, and is also the bird of immortals believed in by Taoism. The Empress Dowager Donggong has always been a believer, and she should be very satisfied when she receives this thing.

But in that birthday banquet, the congratulatory gift she sent was exchanged and turned into a crumpled and worn-out dress.

The queen mother was furious, and the emperor wanted to protect her, but he couldn't hinder the anger of the queen mother, so he had to confine her in the An Le Hall for three months.To some extent, it can be regarded as being thrown into the cold palace.

Life in the cold palace is miserable, and it is like heaven and earth in the days when Sheng Chong was prosperous in the past, only two little girls are faithfully following by her side.

The heroine is honed here, becomes miserable, and becomes stronger.

But this is only the first time for the heroine to enter the cold palace. After that, she will go in and out three times, getting worse and stronger, until she reaches the peak.

At this moment, the heroine didn't know her tragic fate, so she smiled brightly at Weiying: "Yingying, what have you prepared?"

Weiying said calmly, "I'm not prepared."

Xiao Qianxue was slightly taken aback, "But, but concubines have to send congratulatory gifts. Didn't Sister Xianfei tell us? If we don't, the Queen Mother will blame us."

Weiying smiled: "It's okay, I don't need to prepare for my birthday celebration." She winked at Xiao Qianxue, "I will definitely give the Queen Mother an unforgettable birthday banquet."

Xiao Qianxue's small heart was thumping, and she held her chest and gasped: "Suck—"

"Stop smoking!" Wei Ying interrupted the spellcasting, gripped the reins of the horse tightly, pinched her legs, and Thunder galloped away. The head-on wind brought her hair flying in the wind, and was dyed pale gold by the setting sun, "Come on Follow me!"

Xiao Qianxue laughed, grabbed the reins, and galloped after her: "Is there any reward for catching up with you?"

Wei Ying turned her head, her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were flamboyant: "Catch up with me, you can do whatever you want."

When Xiao Qianxue heard it, she felt as if she had been spayed, so she rode to chase after her, but she found sadly that even if she was spayed, she would not be able to catch up with Yingying.Afraid of exhausting Little Lihua, she had no choice but to rua the horse's head and get off the horse.

Weiying also led the horse over.

Xiao Qianxue pursed her lips and said unconvinced: "Obviously I have learned to ride a horse since I was a child, why is my riding skill not as good as yours?"

Weiying smiled lazily: "I've practiced before."

Their missionaries are so omnipotent.

Xiao Qianxue was startled again, looked her up and down with suspicion.

Now Weiying has slowly stepped out of that pale and sickly disguise, becoming... very dazzling.

Xiao Qianxue suddenly thought of the girl's pale and delicate face and eyes filled with tears when she first met, and felt as if they were two people in a lifetime.She also smiled suddenly, dispelled the doubts in her heart, put her arms around Weiying's shoulders, and went back to Yulu Palace together.

"Yingying, to be honest, if I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, I would think that some old monster got on your body and borrowed your skin to make you change so much."

Wei Ying seriously declares: "I am not old."

Xiao Qianxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Yingying, you really know how to joke!"

Weiying: "...I'm serious."

But obviously the hostess would not believe her honest confession, and she would forget about it after giggling, and dragged Weiying to look at her embroidered Baihe clothes.

The Taoist cloak is double-breasted, the fringe collar is inlaid with oriental beads, and many soaring cranes are embroidered with silver thread on the dark blue silk bottom.

The crane feathers are bright and lifelike, surrounded by faint clouds and mist, full of immortality.

Weiying silently sighed in her heart, it turned out that the embroidery could really achieve what was described in the book, as if it had come to life.The breeze blows, the cloak flutters slightly, and hundreds of cranes dance in the wind, just like a fairyland.

In the book, it is Gong Beinu who stole the heroine's white crane clothes and dedicated them to the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager was very happy when she saw the Baihe clothes, and all the people present praised such exquisite embroidery work, Gong Beinu became a big hit because of this, and became Zhaorong from Jieyu.

The thief made money grandiosely, but the original owner was left in the cold palace bitterly.

Weiying ruaed Xiao Qianxue lovingly, "Put away your things carefully, and be careful not to be stolen by others."

Xiao Qianxue patted her chest, assuring to put the congratulatory gift in the box, and locked the outside tightly.

Seeing her lock the congratulatory gift with a click, Wei Ying looked around and asked, "Where's Aunt Dong?"

"I don't know, she often goes out, maybe to the House of Internal Affairs."

----

Dong E is now in the Nonghua Hall, sandwiched between the two sisters of the Gong family, feeling the death gaze from her superiors.

Concubine Shu has finally learned to be good after the incense powder incident, and she is willing to take her younger sister with her when she does bad things. '

After all, bringing Gong Beinu would not help much, but not bringing her would definitely be a disservice.

She shook the small fan, sighed with emotion, and asked Dong E: "Do you know what gift the two of them are preparing this time?"

Dong E lowered her hands and replied honestly: "Mr. Xiao embroidered a collar-studded oriental pearl and white crane dress, which is exquisite and exquisite."

Gong Beinu snorted, lifted her chin, and commented: "It's nothing special, what about that Duan Weiying?"

Dong E shook her head: "I haven't seen Mrs. Ying making any preparations."

Gong Beinu frowned, leaned forward, and asked again: "Did you make any preparations?"

Dong E: "Yes."

Gong Beinu: "Doesn't she know that it's my aunt's birthday soon? If you don't give gifts to the queen mother, you won't be afraid of your aunt's punishment?"

Concubine Shu thought of Wei Ying's usual performance, and her heart sank suddenly, always feeling that something bad happened.

Gong Beinu didn't take it seriously, and continued to mock: "The wild girl from the country doesn't even know how to prepare a gift for the Queen Mother. What did I do when I saw her that day? Sister, the phoenix Yufei jade carving we gave is the most precious. Nobody can steal our thunder."

The gift they prepared was a jade carving.Jade is the most precious and rare Hetian jade, and the master who holds the knife to carve it is Master Lu who has been famous for decades and a piece of work is hard to find in the world.The Gong family imprisoned Master Lu for three years, and finally got this jade carving, which was given to the Queen Mother for this birthday celebration.

Gong Beinu straightened her waist proudly, thinking, they still pay the most attention to the queen mother, this jade carving will definitely blind the eyes of those concubines who have never seen the world, and open their eyes.

Concubine Shu ignored her younger sister and asked Dong E: "How is Xiao Qianxue's embroidery?"

Dong E thought for a moment and said, "Very good."

Concubine Shu asked again: "Jade carving and white crane clothes, which one do you think my aunt will like?"

Dong E raised her eyes to glance at them, and expressed her opinion cautiously: "That white crane dress is very exquisite, not inferior to the phoenix jade carving, besides, the Empress Dowager has always been a believer and loves cranes, Xiao Guiren's embroidery is novel and full of my own heart, But jade carvings are precious, and the Queen Mother has seen more precious ones than this..."

"Presumptuous!" Gong Beinu patted the table and slapped her hands in pain, grinning her teeth in pain while shaking her hands while cursing: "Do you think our gift is not as good as the few pheasants she embroidered casually?"

Dong E was silent.

She just knew that she shouldn't tell the truth to her superiors who are not so good at thinking.

Concubine Shu took her younger sister's hand and rubbed her paws: "Okay, okay, why are you so angry, no matter what gift Xiao Qianxue prepared, we can just replace it for her in advance, what should I replace it with?"

Gong Beinu's innate villain attributes are eager to try again: "Damn □□!"

Concubine Shu and Dong E were silent together.

Gong Beinu's eyes lit up: "Isn't this okay?"

Concubine Shu sighed, and rubbed the aching eyebrows: "Bei Nu, it's almost winter, and there are no more toads, besides... that's your dear aunt, dear."

Is it really appropriate to use a toad to frighten an elderly lady like the Empress Dowager?

Her silly sister who can't even do bad things is really a headache.

Gong Beinu curled her lips, "I didn't think about it, sister, why do we care about them so much, she just embroidered a lot of chickens."

Concubine Shu: "...it's a crane."

"It's almost the same," the silly sister stretched out her other hand for her elder sister to rub, and said, "Whatever they do, anyway, we are my aunt's favorite concubine."

Gong Beinu looked proud, as if he regarded being "aunt's favorite child" as a golden medal, wishing to hang it on his face all the time.

Concubine Shu slammed her ignorant little head with her fingers: "My silly sister, you are the emperor's concubine, not your aunt's concubine. It's not enough to please your aunt. Your majesty will be there at the birthday banquet." of."

Gong Beinu flattened her mouth: "Okay."

Concubine Shu thought about it, and told Dong E: "Change into a crumpled and shabby dress, and I will leave this matter to you."

Dong E nodded and left the Nonghua Hall. When she reached the door, Concubine Shu called her again: "Don't forget to find Duan Weiying's congratulatory gift."

She stopped, and her steps became heavy.

She thought that Mrs. Ying has always been difficult to speculate with common sense, and it is also difficult to speculate on unreasonable reasons. She seems friendly and amiable, but in fact she is not easy to get close to. If it is not necessary, she really does not want to get close to this weakest-looking nobleman Ying.

Back at the Yulu Palace, Dong E waited for the opportunity to replace Xiao Qianxue's white crane clothes with worn-out clothes before the gift was delivered, but she couldn't find any clues about Weiying's gift.

Just when Dong E was tired and ready to make do with the business, she met Lu Wa walking in mysteriously holding a box.

Dong E went up to meet him: "This is?"

Lu Wa lowered her voice and whispered, "It's a congratulatory gift prepared by Lady Ying for the Empress Dowager."

Dong E's eyes lit up, and she immediately regained her spirits: "What is it?"

Lu Wa shook her head: "Master Ying didn't allow me to open the box, saying that it was a spiritual thing, and the spiritual energy would be leaked at a glance, and the original effect would be lost. She asked me to stand outside the house every night after the moon came out, lift the box, and absorb it. Bright moonlight, nine days in a row."

Dong E turned her eyes around the box.

She followed the Queen Mother and had seen a lot of knowledge. It was the first time she saw such a mysterious gift.Being so mysterious is also in line with the status of that half-immortal.She thought about the idea, and after a while, she kindly smiled and said, "This is too hard, why don't you let me do it for you."

Lu Wa said worriedly: "But the master ordered..."

Dong E smiled kindly and harmlessly: "Are you still worried about me?"

Lu Wa bit her lip, "Master said, you must raise your hands straight, from the moon rise to the moon set, you can't stop, you can't look at the things in the box, and after you lift it up, you can't change people halfway .”

It is very hard.

But for the master's great cause, it's okay to work hard!

Dong E persisted in persuading: "Let me do it. I'm used to rough work, so I won't get tired."

The little maid couldn't stand her various requests, so she nodded in agreement, handed over the wooden box to Dong E, and said, "Auntie, please don't open it."

Dong E took the wooden box and held it up in the air in a silly gesture, hoping that the little maid would leave soon.

But Lu Wa was dedicated to her duties, and even if her job was snatched by Dong E, she still stood here tenaciously to supervise her.If the moon does not go, she will not go; if the moon does not sleep, she will not sleep.

Dong E's hands were all stiff, standing in the cold autumn wind, she was about to freeze into a fool, when she moved a little, the little maid next to her yelled nervously——

"Auntie, don't let it fall."

Dong E hastily straightened her hands, holding them up, her sore and painful arms couldn't help but move again, and immediately a familiar voice came from beside her: "Auntie!"

"aunt!"

"aunt!!"

"aunt!!!"

... The night was spent amidst countless "aunts", and Dong E felt like she was in a forest in a trance. Every tree was covered with a hundred pigeons, all of which were shouting "cuckoo, cluck, cluck, cluck" to her. Cuckoo", it is simply a kind of mental pollution.

Until the morning, under the supervision of Green Wax, she didn't have the slightest chance to see what the gift was.

As soon as the moon set, Lu Wa snatched the box, thanked Aunt Dong with a smile, and then bounced away.

The double torture of spirit and body caused Dong E to return to her residence in a state of dismay, and fell headfirst on the bed, sleeping from dawn to dusk.

While still in bed the next day, she was woken up by the green wax.

Green wax eyes shined: "Auntie, get up quickly, I'm going to lift the box later! The moon is about to rise."

Dong E's eyes darkened, and she felt a burst of despair, "Are you still here?"

Lu Wa said solemnly: "Of course! For the sake of Master Ying and the Queen Mother's happy birthday, what do we do if we hold the box for a few days! Auntie, you have been with the Queen Mother for so long, you must be enlightened."

Dong E, who was inexplicably criticized, had no choice but to follow behind Lu Wa, and started the task of lifting the box again.

After being frozen in the cold wind for nine days, Dong E went from pain to numbness, and finally became a walking dead, like a puppet who lost its soul.

Everyone else was sleeping in the warm blanket, but she was the only one, still in the cold autumn wind, miserably raising her sore arms, shaking while listening to the girl next to her "cuckoo coo coo coo coo".

Dong E thought to herself, if she could do it all over again, she would definitely not have undue curiosity to spy on nobleman Ying's gift.

She doesn't deserve it!

But on the ninth day, Lu Wa accidentally dozed off, leaning against the wall and squinting his eyes.

Seeing the rare opportunity, Dong E hurriedly put down the box, tremblingly opened the wooden box——

If she could know Yinggui's congratulatory gift from this, and successfully replaced it, her nine days of hard work would not have been in vain!

She picked up a stone on the ground, and was going to exchange the gifts for stones, so that Wei Ying's birthday would be embarrassing, even if they were discovered...they would have no chance to prepare any more gifts.

But after opening the wooden box, Dong E was stunned.

The spiritual creature of heaven and earth lying peacefully inside is... a big turtle.

The tortoise was dozing in the box, and there was a note on the tortoise shell: "The one who peeps ahead of time is the same as this thing."

Dong E, who instantly became a king of the same kind, put down the stone sadly.

She felt that there was no need to change it. Who would have thought that the Queen Mother's congratulatory gift would be a turtle?

Tama, what are you planning for these nine nights?
