be a quiet golden finger

An Lingrong did not succeed in serving the bed.But in the time for a cup of tea, she was carried out again by the eunuchs.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qianqian asked cautiously while walking around An Lingrong.

An Lingrong put on his clothes, unwilling to answer Zhang Qianqian, but Zhang Qianqian already knew the answer.It turned out that An Lingrong was too scared to see the emperor, and he was so trembling that he couldn't speak, which made the emperor unhappy.

On the way back, An Lingrong kept crying until his eyes were a little swollen.Zhang Qianqian heard the eunuch outside the sedan chair saying "bad luck", so he could only comfort An Lingrong weakly and said, "It's okay, isn't there a next time?"

An Lingrong couldn't listen to her persuasion at this moment, she just wiped her tears with her sleeve, her mind was in a mess, wishing she could find a hole and get in right away, lest these servants see her jokes.

Zhang Qianqian sighed deeply, looking at An Lingrong, not knowing what to do.Thinking about it now, as An Lingrong's golden finger, she is too useless except to grind her lips all day long and say a few light words of comfort.

When Baojuan found out that An Lingrong had come back without going to bed, his face turned dark immediately.Although he didn't say anything bad, but with a flick of his hand, he grabbed the willow branch and reprimanded him, as if he was in bad luck.

"Liu Zhi, come in and spread the quilt, I'm going to sleep." An Lingrong suppressed his crying and called out.

"Now I can sleep, and once I sleep, it may be a lifetime!" Baojuan sneered, and went back to sleep with a flick of his sleeves.

Willow came in and made the bed, then quietly retreated out.After returning to the room, Ju Xiang, the little friend next to her, had already fallen asleep.

Ju Xiang is only 11 years old, and she only sweeps the floor and wipes the tables on weekdays. She has just entered the palace not long ago, and she still has no worries.Liu Zhi took a few glances at Ju Xiang, who was soundly asleep, gathered her quilt and hugged her out.

Today Baojuan doesn't know how to watch the night, and it is impossible to call Juxiang to watch the night, so she has to go up by herself.

An Lingrong was already lying on the bed, and when Liu Zhi came in, she softly reported her vigil, and she only responded vaguely.

On the bed, Zhang Qianqian was still squeezed inside, stroking An Lingrong's hair and said, "Go to sleep, you'll be fine tomorrow."

An Lingrong didn't speak, and closed his red eyes, but couldn't stop the tears from flowing out.

"An Lingrong, good Ronger, don't be afraid, I will help you, I will definitely help you." This night, watching An Lingrong's tears, Zhang Qianqian really felt her pain Fear and pain, but also really felt his desire to help An Lingrong.

Waking up the next day, An Lingrong's eyes were swollen.Washing up in the morning, only willow branches serve, and Baojuan is not even a shadow.

An Lingrong didn't ask either, since Bao Juan didn't have the heart to serve her, why should she force it.Anyway, now she has no hope for the future, she just lives at home like a walking dead.

"My lord, the House of Internal Affairs yesterday..." Just halfway through speaking, Liu Zhi stopped again, looking at An Lingrong's expression submissively, for fear that she would be unhappy.

"Maybe she wants to ask you where to put the reward you sent yesterday?" Zhang Qianqian sighed and helped Liu Zhi finish the second half of the sentence, "She is a loyal girl, much better than Baojuan." He said again: " Life is still going on, don't be too sad."

An Lingrong looked at his pale self in the mirror, nodded for a while, and said weakly to Liu Zhi: "Pick up some fabrics, and put the rest in the cage first."

Since there is no hope of being favored by the emperor, life must be even tighter in the future.Previously, the House of Internal Affairs kept a little stuff for her, but now that she is not welcomed by the emperor, I don't know if she will be given a monthly order. It's better to do some needlework to supplement the same as when I was at home.

"You want to sell some needlework, and it would be good if you have more money, but if you want to sell, you can sell it in the palace, but you don't know anyone in the palace, so it seems inappropriate to ask Zhen Huan or Shen Meizhuang..."

Zhang Qianqian became more and more worried as she spoke, and looked at the willow branch next to her opening the box to put things in. Although she was young, she did things in an orderly manner, and said to An Lingrong: "Bao Juan is unreliable, I think this willow branch It's sensible, why don't you ask her if there is anyone she knows who can leave the palace."

An Lingrong was stunned for a while, looked at Liu Zhi and then at Zhang Qianqian, nodded woodenly, opened his mouth and said, "Liu Zhi, do you know anyone who can go out to work in the palace?"

Liu Zhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect An Lingrong to remember to ask this.Say she doesn't know each other, but she really has someone she knows. Say she does, she doesn't know what An Lingrong wants to do.The people she knew were also like her, little eunuchs who spoke softly, but they couldn't do much.

Seemingly seeing Liu Zhi's hesitation, An Lingrong explained: "It's not because I want to do some big things." After speaking, he laughed at himself, "Is there any big things I can do now, but I just want to have a difficult life in the future, and I don't want to Do some needlework and sell it to the palace to make up for it.”

Liu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, selling needles and thread was something that happened in every palace, it was nothing.It would be good for her to draw a line and let the fellow and herself get some rewards.

With a young master like An Lingrong, although Liu Zhi didn't give up like Bao Juan, she was also sad that she couldn't get more rewards.After all, there are several younger brothers and sisters under her family who need to be raised, and they are all waiting for her to save some money to supplement the family!At this time, An Lingrong said that he wanted to sell needles and threads, which really hit Liu Zhi's heart.

"Yes, yes, a fellow of mine is doing slop dumping. Although he can't go out of the palace, he knows someone who collects slop." Liu Zhi paused, and then said softly: "Sometimes, my fellow villager and I ask Na If someone brings money home, that person is acquainted."

Since they are acquaintances, they should also be reliable.

"That's good." An Lingrong nodded, pursed his lips, and forced a smile at Liu Zhi.

She also knew that if she entrusted someone else to sell something, she might get some money privately, and she would have to give some rewards, and she didn't know how much money she got back.But the material in the palace is very good, and her embroidery is also good, so it should be sold for a lot of silver, which is better than no income at all.

The matter was settled in this way, An Lingrong didn't go out, she was doing needlework all day long, and after saving some, she asked Liu Zhi to sell it, and got some money.

Baojuan didn't know about this matter, she saw that An Lingrong was doing needlework all day long and didn't need her to take care of her, so she ran away all day without a trace, not knowing which nobleman she was going to climb.

An Lingrong watched secretly, knowing that Baojuan was already a person who could not be kept, so he looked at Liuzhi's actions.Although she didn't tell others not to tell, Liu Zhi was very careful not to let Bao Juan and Ju Xiang know.Comparing Baojuan's laziness and Juxiang's childishness, the willow branches are more pleasing to An Lingrong's heart.

Shen Meizhuang and Zhen Huan occasionally made an appointment to see An Lingrong together, and they were also happy to see An Lingrong's face getting better every day.An Lingrong was always thankful that he had listened to Zhang Qianqian's words, and often walked with the two of them.If it weren't for the fact that they often send things and money over to help her, she wouldn't know how miserable her life would be.

However, An Lingrong was still unwilling to leave the yard.

Although Zhang Qianqian was bored in the small yard all day long, An Lingrong didn't want to go out and be laughed at by others, and she didn't want to force An Lingrong to go out.After all, things happen, and it always takes some time to dilute them.When there is a new topic to discuss in the palace, I believe no one will remember to laugh at An Lingrong.

Liu Zhi followed An Lingrong every day, as if she had become the first personal servant girl in essence.At the beginning, she was still cautious in front of An Lingrong, but after getting along for a long time, she also knew that An Lingrong was actually very good at serving.

Today, Willow Branch was still serving An Lingrong to do needlework, looking at the delicately embroidered handkerchiefs, boasting and boasting, and for some reason, the words that wanted to learn embroidery came out of his mouth.

"My lord, please punish me, the slave has overstepped." Knowing that she had said something wrong, Liu Zhi hurriedly knelt down and apologized.After all, the young master is the master, and she is only a court lady, how can she be called the young bishop!

An Lingrong put down the needle and thread in his hand, suddenly smiled, held up the willow branch and said: "I just want to learn needle and thread, why do you overstep? If you learn to help me, I will be more relaxed."

Seeing that An Lingrong didn't reprimand her, but instead agreed to teach her embroidery, Liu Zhi was very excited.If she really learns to embroider from the young master, not to mention being able to supplement the family with more money now, even if she leaves the palace in the future, she will have an extra ability to settle down.

She hastily knelt down and kowtowed a few more times, and sincerely said: "Thank you, my lord, for teaching me. I will serve you more faithfully. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and serve you comfortably."

At the beginning of spring, Liuzhi helped An Lingrong make a water-green spring shirt. He was so happy that he urged An Lingrong to try it on.An Lingrong couldn't stand the entanglement of willow branches, so he had to put them on.Look left and right in the mirror, although the stitching is not as meticulous as An Lingrong's, it's still okay.The water green vigor, against An Lingrong's faint smile, looks very good.

"The young master is dressed so nicely, why don't you go out for a stroll? It's spring, and the flowers in the imperial garden are all blooming!" Liu Zhi has also become more courageous recently, seeing that An Lingrong is happy today, he persuaded her One sentence.

"You've been bored in the room for a long time, doing needlework all day long, what if your eyes are broken? Liu Zhi is right, go out and look at the flowers and plants, and you will feel better." Of course Zhang Qianqian wanted to go out, and knew An Ling Rong felt troubled in his heart, so he said: "Recently, the palace is saying that Yu Xu is domineering. Let's just go to a quieter corner, take a walk, look at the flowers and plants, and then come back."

"My lord, Juxiang went to the imperial garden a while ago, picked a lot of apricot flowers, dried them in the sun and put them in the room. They smell really good. Why don't we pick some apricot flowers and make them into sachets to take with us?" Wouldn't it be more convenient?" Liu Zhi's eyes were shining brightly, exuding a rare girlish vivacity.

"Look, this willow branch is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it's the time when she loves to play. She sews with you all day long, and she becomes more and more calm like your aunt. I don't know that she still has time to be lively." Zhang Qianqian Smiling, he stretched out his hand to poke the smiling face of the willow branch, and said to An Lingrong, "Why don't you take this poor boy out for a stroll?"

"Oh, let's go." An Lingrong was soft-tempered after all, and the two agreed to any difficult matter after a few words.

Liu Zhi thought that An Lingrong had been moved by his words, so she cheered happily, hurriedly took An Lingrong's cloak and put it on her, and hurried out.
