Jia's mother finally left, because Jia's mansion had been prepared for a long time, and after a while, all the decorations in the mansion were completed, and a row of white lanterns was hung at the gate.But at this point, the affairs of Jia's mansion can't attract the attention of others at all. If it was left a few years ago, the death of Mrs. Guo might be talked about by others for several days. Unfortunately, with the death of the Supreme Emperor, Jia's mansion Surprisingly, no one came to express condolences.

The reason why no one came to express their condolences was that apart from the fact that there were not many relatives in Jia's house, the more important thing was that other families were busy!

On the other side of Jia's mansion, apart from Mrs. Xing, the other masters were keeping Jia Zheng's filial piety, even if they were just doing great work, they still had everything they should have.When Jia's mother closed her eyes, she just changed a few decorations, not even the clothes on the master's body.But other families were not so lucky, not to mention changing all the decorations and clothes on the body, what's more, the family originally planned to hold a wedding event, so they had to postpone it directly.However, this is not bad for the Jia family, but now there is no need to greet the Xu family, the Supreme Emperor has passed away, so the marriage can be moved to a later date.

Compared with the indifference of Jia's mansion and the hustle and bustle of other families, the real life is in the palace.

The fact that the Supreme Emperor was seriously ill has been spread for a long time. Since the beginning of the attack on the Ning Rong Second House, there have been rumors that the Supreme Emperor has died long ago.Later, when I watched today slapping some old ministers into bald heads, the rumors almost became assertions.However, because there has been no definite news, although everyone has their own guesses, no one dares to be sure.

Until the day the death knell sounded.

The so-called once entering the palace gate is as deep as the sea, this is by no means just a simple talk.Perhaps for those concubines who were truly favored, they fell into it voluntarily, but for concubines in the cold palace who had never been favored in the first place and would never be favored in the future, the only taste left in life was bitterness.

At the end of the bitterness, it seems that the whole life is gloomy, and I can't see where the future is at all, and I don't even know if there is a tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, you..." The little palace maid with a bun was holding a set of plain white clothes in both hands, and looked at the woman sitting by the window hesitantly.The woman was thin and haggard. Even if she looked closely, she could still see the beauty of the past. Unfortunately, because of her extremely poor complexion, it only made people feel shuddering.It was as if, at any moment, it was possible to swallow its last breath.

Death is enough to destroy all beauty.

The little maid stood at the door for a while, although the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in two days, and the weather is very hot, but I don't know whether it is because the sun has set, or it is simply because the Lenggong is not popular, anyway, it is very cold .

It's so cold that the hairs stand on end.

"What's the matter?" The woman by the window seemed to have finally sensed the person outside the door, and slowly turned around, without the slightest expression on her face, and even her tone seemed so cold and alienated.

"Your Majesty has an order that everyone must wear mourning for the Supreme Emperor." The little maid first took a deep breath, and then, as if she was afraid that she would be speechless later, she held her breath and finished speaking.After she finished speaking, she relaxed a little bit, as if she had been relieved, she half leaned against the door rail and looked at the woman by the window.

"Put things down, you can go." The woman by the window still did not change her cold tone, and after saying this, she resumed her previous appearance again, and she had no intention of continuing the conversation at all.

The little maid was slightly resentful, but she didn't dare to speak back. After glancing inside the door, she simply squatted down and put the clothes in her arms on the threshold, then turned around and ran away.It wasn't until she ran a long distance that she leaned against the palace wall outside, clutching her heart, and spat: "I still think of myself as a virtuous concubine, and none of the concubines who have entered the cold palace can get out. Hmph!"

Coincidentally, another little maid who was acquainted with her passed by here, and when she saw the one in front, she asked curiously: "Have you seen Empress Xiande? How does she look? Did she reward you?"

The maids who will be assigned to the Leng Palace are either too good at themselves, or they simply offend people who cannot be offended.In short, either stupid or bad-mouthed, or both.

"Hmph, that's the way it is, not as good-looking as sister Yue'er. By the way, let me tell you, that lady's face is as pale as a dead person. I don't know if it's just powdered or she just looks so scary. .”

"Really?"

"Why am I partial to you? She looks like a ghost. I heard that His Majesty doesn't like her at all. Otherwise, why did she suddenly become a concubine after ten years in the palace? Besides, she never It is said that His Majesty has blessed her."

"God, isn't she too pitiful? She bears the title of concubine for nothing, and even..."

"What are you talking about? If she is pitiful, what about us? She was born as a female official, and she can leave the palace as long as she is 25 years old. It's not like us, who will live until 50 years old. Oh, it's really that time , I can’t find a way out of the palace.”

The two little maids who were only in their early ten years lowered their heads and sighed together. Suddenly, a three-to-forty-year-old nanny rushed out of the squinting eyes, and scolded her head and face: "A bunch of lazy people, I can just ask you to give me something." Give it away for a long time! Don’t want to live anymore, right? When you go back, kneel for an hour to tighten your skin, or you will have nothing to eat!”

Immediately, the two little palace maids followed behind Mammy with mournful faces.They know very well that if they don't accept the punishment honestly, they will definitely suffer bad luck, but if they really kneel for an hour, they will have nothing to eat by then.You know, they are all maids of honor, serving in front of the favored empress, not only have three meals a day, but even have endless snacks.But in the cold palace, there are only two meals in the morning and evening, and there is no such thing as going late.

"Well, you send the food box to the lady in the back first." Nanny walked halfway, suddenly remembered something, hurriedly ordered someone, "Hurry up!"

The little maid who was named simply did not expect such a good thing to happen.Although running errands is hard, it also means that she can secretly eat a little.After all, even the empresses who have been reduced to the cold palace, the food is much better than what they eat every day, and one more thing, the empress does not care about the amount of food, the main reason is that she has no power, or she just doesn't want to ask for trouble.

However, when she returned to the place she had just been to with the food box, she glanced left and right to check that there was no one around, and hurriedly opened the food box...

There are a total of four bowls and dishes inside, except for the three unheated miscellaneous grains, the other three dishes are boiled vegetables, pickled vegetables, and taro soup.

The little maid stared in disbelief for a long time, because it was the first time for her to deliver the food box to the virtuous concubine inside, she didn't know what happened in the past, but when she saw the food in the food box, it was clear It is not as good as a slightly decent palace lady, let alone a nanny in charge.But thinking that she would be punished when she went back later, the little maid struggled a little, and quickly reached out her hand to grab a miscellaneous grain pastry, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it in twos and twos.He was so choked again that he picked up the taro soup and drank two big gulps.After thinking about it, he simply didn't do anything, took another bun and broke it open, put some food into the bun with the bamboo chopsticks placed aside, and ate it with gusto.

After a while, the little palace lady finally put the things back in their place contentedly. Seeing the obviously less portion of the dinner, a trace of panic passed through her heart.But soon, she regained her composure, and after covering the food box, she hurried to the door of the side hall where Concubine Xiande was, called softly, and immediately left the food box and ran away without waiting for a response.

However, what the little maid didn't know was that Concubine Xian De, who had been sitting in front of the window the whole time, had already seen her self-concealed behavior.

Concubine Xiande, the eldest girl Yuan Chun who used to be beautiful and precious in the Rongguo Mansion, now it is extremely difficult to even squeeze out a bitter smile.

What is bitterness?At the end of the bitterness, I can't even feel the bitterness.

This is the case with Jia Yuanchun.She didn't hate that little palace lady just now. She thought that when she was a child, let alone stealing food, it was often the maids who brought all kinds of delicate and delicious snacks in front of her, and she would dismiss them.Occasionally, when the mood is good, at most, I pick up a piece and take a sip.At that time, she really didn't think those were delicious, let alone snacks, no matter how gorgeous the clothes were, or how rare the head jewelry was, she never paid attention to them.

...She, Jia Yuanchun, was supposed to have the most beautiful things in this world.

This kind of thought didn't fade away until I entered the backyard of the deep palace.

What about the eldest girl in the Duke's Mansion?Everything is lacking in the palace, except for the noble daughter with a prominent family background.So what if she is as beautiful as a flower?In the first year she entered the palace, at least ten beauties died. Human life is the most worthless thing in the palace.So what about being smart?Even if he is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, His Majesty doesn't even look at it, no amount of talent is just a joke.

So what else does she have?

In the first year of entering the palace, she was full of expectations.In the second year, she began to question herself.In the third year, she was a little desperate.In the fourth year, fifth year...the tenth year, she felt that it didn't matter.It really doesn't matter, there are too many beauties in the palace, and she was already an old lady at the age of 24.Don't say that today, even if she is placed outside the palace, she will not be able to find a good family.

However, it was in that year that my mother found an opportunity to send her a message.

A few months later, Qin Keqing died, and she also successfully realized the dream that she had never achieved in the ten years of entering the palace, becoming the current concubine, and the only double-character concubine in the harem.

What an honor.

How ironic.

Jia Yuanchun's eyes fell on the plain white mourning dress that the little maid had placed on the threshold before, slowly got up and walked to the other side, and then went back to the window with the mourning dress in her arms, using the small scissors for needlework, bit by bit Cut the mourning clothes into long strips and tie them with knots.

Cut a knife... the grace that has never been had before, even if it is lost, it is not surprising.

It's a knot... Both the father and uncle died, and the mother and aunt were sentenced to be beheaded in autumn.

Another cut... The home is gone, the hope is shattered, and her life is meaningless.

Early the next morning, when the little palace maid who came to deliver breakfast came over, she looked up and saw the once glorious and virtuous concubine hanging herself on the beam.

The face, which was as white as paper, has now become bruised and swollen; a pair of big eyes, which were originally quite watery, almost stared out of their sockets; the long tongue hangs down, and it is matched with the long hair that has been loosened ...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" A shrill scream resounded through the sky, breaking the tranquility of the morning.

……

……

In the evening, the Jia family got the news that the Xiande concubine had passed away.
