11. When it’s still cool to have a jade pillow.

The

old friend sighed, “Don’t ask about the end of the song.”

He smiled and said to me, “The queen can’t be you.”

I was in a trance for a moment, and I hugged his neck and lay in his arms cleverly, asking him why. He did not answer me, but pinched my nose and said that I was too greedy.

He is the prince of the East Palace, Cheng Yixiao.

I was picked up by Cheng Yixiao in the East Palace. I was not sensible at that time, and I bit Cheng Yixiao. He almost strangled me. I was

a little beggar, and I had an argument with a group of beggars at the foot of the city wall. I have no father or mother, so the beggars will take me for fun, take away the cold and hard steamed bun in my hands, throw it away for fun, but refuse to give it to me. I had a strong temper, so I grabbed the leading beggar’s hair and pulled off a clump of his hair. He felt the blood on his head and called the four or five men to surround me, kicking and punching me. I almost thought I was going to be killed alive.

“Stop.”

I heard a distant tinkling and the voice of a man, a languid male voice. Most of

my eyes were covered with blood, and I couldn’t really see what was happening outside. I covered my head tightly and didn’t dare to let go. There was a fishy smell in my throat, and I felt that my intestines had been kicked out by those who killed thousands of knives. I gasped for breath, but refused to cry out.

Suddenly, the fists and feet on my body stopped. I shrank my body and tried to open my eyes, but I couldn’t. Someone came and picked me up and put a chain around my neck. I shook my fists and feet nervously, but I heard a sneer from someone not far away. I didn’t know who he was. I just bared my teeth in his direction and kept pulling the chain around my neck.

The man seemed to approach me, and I shrugged my nose as I smelled a pleasant fragrance on him. He seemed to be looking at me. I didn’t think he was a human tooth. I didn’t have a good place all over my body. I heard the old beggar say that human teeth like children with fine skin and tender meat, which can be sold at a good price.

The man gave a “tut,” as if he disliked me.

“Just drag it along.” It was the same man who

spoke, and his voice was really nice. I’ve never seen such a person since I was a child. The other end

of the chain was dragged, and I bumped it without defense. All I heard was a light clatter of chains, and I was tied to something. Suddenly the thing started to move. I heard a noise. It was the sound of the horse’s hooves falling to the ground. I just thought the man was crazy. The

horses ran fast, and I heard the sound of gold and jade colliding in the carriage behind me. I have done a lot of stealing, so I can hear that this is a carriage of a rich family.

I was dragged by the horse and stumbled. The beggars broke my right leg. I couldn’t stand up. My face was on the ground all the time. I was hurt by the stones on the ground. Blood was spilling from the corners of

my mouth, my head sometimes hit things, my hands were not strong enough, I had no shoes, I could feel it, my right toe was worn out.

The horse kept running, faster and faster. The clothes on my arms, stomach and legs were all worn out, and blood flowed out. I opened my eyes hard and saw the blood winding all the way behind me, intermittent and shocking.

When I was dying, the carriage stopped, someone untied the chain from the horse, and poured cold water on me. I was excited, and then I was dragged and thrown into a soft place.

“Life is quite big.” The blood clot in

my eyes melted a little, and I struggled to open my eyes. This is a very good-looking person, a pair of fox eyes looking at the romantic, the corners of the mouth pick a touch of playful smile, looking down at me. I

knew he was the madman, and I rushed forward with all my strength and bit his arm until I saw the blood. He shook me off, and I hit the pole of the carriage with a dull groan and a dull pain in my back. The pole was broken and a splinter stuck in the flesh.

The man stepped on my hand, which was hanging on the carriage, and the soft white fur blanket was stained red by the blood oozing from my hand. He approached me and slowly raised his hands. I caught a glimpse of the fingers on his hands. I knew he must be a powerful man. I thought I had offended a noble man today.

He slowly grabbed my neck and slowly tightened it. I gradually lost my breath. I just stared at him and never said a word. When I was dying, he stopped, casually took the veil handed to him by others, wiped his hands carefully and threw it on me.

He asked me if I wanted to kill him. I nodded. He laughed out loud, licked his teeth with the tip of his tongue, and had me thrown on horseback. I

pulled the corners of my mouth, and blood overflowed, thinking that at least I saved my life today.

Someone dragged me off my horse, my head dazed, and I opened my eyes and saw the plaque above my head-the East Palace. Remembering the finger wrench on the man’s hand,

I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat. I had provoked the worst person in the world. If I’m not wrong, he should be Prince Cheng Yixiao, who is said to be ruthless, tyrannical and moody.

I collapsed on the ground and felt that I would not live through the night.

The guard asked him in a low voice what he should do with me. He did not take me to heart, but said contemptuously, “Keep it.”

I listened carefully and suddenly fainted. When I woke up

again, I didn’t know where I had been thrown, but I was lying flat and drugged. I moved my arm slightly and breathed cold in pain. Cheng Yixiao was so cruel that the wound on my back was torn.

When I heard footsteps approaching, I looked back warily and stared at the man, a girl of my age. Frightened by my fierce eyes, she rubbed my head gently and told me that she would stay here in the future.

I did not utter a word, she saw I snubbed her, she was not annoyed, but also said that her name was Lan Lan, like me, is the inferior palace of the East Palace. I looked around. The room was shabby. I was lying on the floor, covered only with a faded sheet.

Lan Lan asked my name, I kept silent, Lan Lan saw me do not speak, just told me not to move these days. When I saw that she was leaving, I said in a sullen voice, “I didn’t.”

I have no parents, how can someone give me a name, born is a person, if not for the old beggar at the root of the city wall to see my poor adoption, I am afraid I will not starve to death in the dog days.

Lan Lan was stunned and rubbed my head again. “It sounds so nice, like a little bell. In the future, I’ll call you Yaoyao, okay?”

I did not make a sound, Lan Lan when I acquiesced, after that, she often called me Yaoyao. When I recovered from my

wound, I became a rough messenger in the East Palace. The East Palace was heavily guarded, and I couldn’t escape. I picked up a job to make a living, so I came down. People like us are the lowest level of palace people, doing the most tiring work, but also by the oppression of the palace people. At first,

I had a strong temper and fought with a eunuch. Later, I was thrown into the woodshed and nearly killed by random sticks. Lan Lan came to take care of me and asked me why I bothered. I breathed a sigh of relief and said that the eunuch insisted that I honor his silver. Lan Lan took me by the hand and cried, “We can’t compare with them. They have masters.”

I bit my lip and said nothing. Lan Lan held me in her arms and whispered not to provoke them. When I saw Lan Lan crying, my heart softened. Lan Lan is the only person who has been good to me in the past thirteen years, and I take her very seriously. People in

the palace could not get a doctor to see a doctor, and the medical officers outside the palace refused to come to this polluted place. Lan Lan took out the small medicine bottle she brought to the palace and gave me the medicine. Lan Lan said that this was some of the medicine left over from the last time. I turned my head, my nose was sour, and I knew that it was the only thing that Lan Lan brought into the palace to cure the disease, and it was all wasted on me.

I muttered, “I’ll never mess with them again.”

I heard Lan Lan say that I had beaten the eunuch’s left leg bruised and swollen. She also said that I had a big life, but I was not killed. I nodded in response.

But after that, the eunuch often let people trip me up, and every other day I would suffer some flesh and cry. I don’t talk much, because I believe in saying more and making more mistakes, not to mention paying attention to everything in the palace. Later, someone often made trouble for me, and once at night, he directly beat me with a sack. It rained

that night, and the rain hit my heart on the open wound. All this was done by the eunuch’s henchmen. I was in charge of the raccoon clothes, but that time, all the clothes under my hands were gone. The big eunuch in charge said that I stole the clothes and exchanged them for silver. I couldn’t argue. No one helped me, and so did Lan Lan.

I gave in and learned to flatter and fawn on the powerful. The East Palace is different from the beggar’s nest. I learned to be good, but I also learned to be bad. Originally, I had a strong temper and refused to bow my head. Now I still have a strong temper, but I am afraid of death. I recognized my godmother, who was our mother in charge. She took a fancy to my face, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. My

appearance is not ugly, and I really stand out among the inferior palace people. I accompanied the smile, filial piety silver, sweet mouth, the more the steward Mammy looked at me more pleasing to the eye, no one asked me for trouble.

Huanyi is a group of girls, because I used to do a lot of things to steal chickens and dogs, my mind is clever, my hands and feet are faster, and I have a godmother behind me to support me, so I have a job to manage people.

I know these girls are afraid of beating, I have not beaten them, some delicious food I also give them more or less, godmother said that my wrist is not tough, they have to make trouble. I scared them more or less, so nothing happened. I even thought that I would spend my whole life safely in the East Palace. I have been

in the palace for two years, and I am fifteen years old this year.

Lan Lan said that the fifteenth day was the day of marriage, and she was overjoyed to send me new clothes. I said no, but I held my new clothes in my arms and refused to let them go. Lan Lan said that my temper was awkward and had not changed at all.

I was promoted to be a slave, and I was on an equal footing with my godmother. My godmother felt uncomfortable, so I came up with something better to please her. I can speak, and the man in charge also likes me, and sees that I am young, and takes care of me more or less. I was so successful that I almost forgot that this is the East Palace, not my place.

Others said that the prince was in a bad mood recently, because a palace maid accidentally knocked over the teacup in front of the prince. Gan Niang told me that the top should promote people from the bottom and prepare to serve in front of the temple.

The prince was moody, and there were always a lot of palace people in front of the palace for a rainy day. I nodded, the godmother wanted me to go, go to the front of the temple to give her a long face.

But I don’t want to go. I’m timid and afraid of death. I got up late on purpose

that day. When he ran there in a panic, he heard Gan Niang say that the election had been finished. Gan Niang scolded me, saying that I was a disgrace to her and did not live up to expectations. Just as I was enjoying myself, I saw the candidate, Grandfather Chang, turn around and say to me, “You go with me.”

I looked up and bumped into Grandfather Zhang’s long, narrow and gloomy eyes. I knew that my good days were over.

I began to teach Mammy the etiquette in front of the temple. I pretended to be stupid and wanted Mammy to throw me back. But Mammy gritted her teeth and had me whipped.

I was filial to Mammy as usual, but Mammy didn’t like my things at all, saying that someone else had sent a string of jade beads. I am stupefied, not only I thought of this method, others do not want to go to the front of the temple to serve. Mammy took my things and said that the higher authorities were strict and would not let anyone go. I laughed a few words and scolded the ancestor of Mammy in my heart for collecting things but not doing anything.

I began to learn manners, the fastest in the line, and Mammy began to speak kindly to me. I was so cruel that I took out all the money I had saved in the past few years. Mammy accepted my money with a smile and said that she would arrange me to do the last job in the future so as to avoid bumping into the master as much as possible. For

three months, I sometimes heard some noise outside the hall, throwing gold and silver, throwing jade, sometimes kneeling in the shop, sometimes red, blood flowing outside the hall. Several people were dragged out, and all of them had their necks wiped. I’m scared.

Mammy smiled and said that she would learn to serve him in a few days. I realized that the prince had killed so many people, and it was almost my turn.

Mammy arranged my errand by the window, which was the last one, and I couldn’t see the prince all day. Steady heart, I can live as long as I can. At the beginning, my life was picked up by the prince. In the middle of the night

, I heard someone beside me crying in the quilt. I frowned and pushed her. She was so frightened that she showed her face. She sobbed and told me that she was afraid, and I said that I was also afraid, and I heard a lot of people respond, only to realize that I was not the only one who could not sleep tonight. All the frightened ones began to cry in a low voice. I frowned slightly and asked them to keep their voices down, otherwise they would be whipped. The job by the

window was brisk, and I was frightened at first, and then I finished it by wiping it every day. Mammy caught me cutting corners and said ferociously that if she caught me again, I would be punished to serve tea. I smiled and gave Mammy five taels of silver, so that Mammy would love me more. Mammy accepted it with a big smile, saying that sooner or later I would suffer.

This day, I finally saw the prince.

I dared to raise my eyelids and glance at the man sitting in the chair. He was wearing only a middle coat, his hair was not tied, he was wearing thousands of hair, and he was holding a sword in his hand, shining with a cold light. I hit a spirit, I do not know is afraid or what, I did not pay attention to a hiccup, the sound is a little loud.

I closed my eyes tightly, and I was the only one in the silent hall who made a sound, or a hiccup.

“Come here.”

I heard the lazy male voice and knew it was the prince. I did not dare to disobey him, so I hurried forward and knelt respectfully before him.

“Pour the tea.”

I steadied myself and got up to pour tea. Trembling, I took the teapot to the teacup. Fortunately, I learned the etiquette well and didn’t spill it out, so I knelt back respectfully. The prince looked at the teacup indifferently, flicking it with his fingertips as if he had done so inadvertently, and the teacup fell to the ground with a “bang,” scattering light green tea on the ground. I looked up sharply and bumped into his playful eyes, and I knew he wanted me dead.

I turned to the prince and shouted in a trembling voice, “Your Highness, the prince, is noble and virtuous.”

I heard his deep and melodious laughter, and my palms sweated, wiping a few wet marks on the floor of the hall. The prince came down the steps barefoot, raised my chin with the tip of his sword, and looked down at me. I didn’t dare to show my timidity. I looked at him with my lips pursed. He didn’t recognize me. Maybe he had forgotten me long ago.

In this way, no one spoke, I heard the wind outside the hall, rolled up a dry fallen leaves far away. He withdrew his swords, which plunged deep into the table one by one, and walked out slowly.

I saw the teacup, which had been pierced and broken in half on the table, collapse on the ground, wipe my chin, wipe out the red blood of my hand, and I cried. I sobbed in a low voice. I was only fifteen. I was really afraid of dying in the East Palace. No one would collect my body.

I went back to the residence of the palace people, lying on the bunk and did not want to get up, feeling that the day was tiring. Many ladies of the court came to push me and asked me why I was not dead. I was tired of being asked and suddenly turned over and covered my head with bedding.

To say why I’m not dead, maybe a blind cat meets a dead mouse. I’m good for nothing, and I have only one mouth left.

Others all scold the prince, then I praise him, perhaps he will like to listen, more light. Maybe he doesn’t like it. Be grumpy. I threw caution to the wind, but I was lucky enough to bump into Cheng Yixiao’s preference. But I secretly still scold him, scold him is a son of a bitch, all the people in the world know, Cheng Yixiao’s birth mother gave birth to him died.

On the second day, I got up early in the morning, and I didn’t have a good sleep at night because of the noise yesterday.

Cheng Yixiao was not in the East Palace today. I heard father-in-law Zhang say that the prince had left the palace. I was delighted, but I didn’t expect Cheng Yixiao to come back halfway. As soon as

Cheng Yixiao stepped into the hall, he knelt down again. I felt that Cheng Yixiao was going to punish me.

Cheng Yixiao pointed at me, and I walked out with my eyes down. I called out, “Your Highness, the Prince,” and crawled on the main hall.

Cheng Yixiao let someone pinch my chin and let the man slap me in the face. My face was burning with pain, and I could only hear the sound of “Pa.” I didn’t know when it would end.

In fact, fanning my face is nothing to me. I have been beaten, whipped, and given a board by Mammy. Cardamom years, I actually quite cherish their own face, so I will only be disfigured, because my mouth bleeding, cheeks are swollen up.

I think of Cheng Yixiao when I was tied to the horse, plus these two times, I just think Cheng Yixiao should die. No one taught me what is good, what is evil, in fact, my heart is also very black, who let me uncomfortable, I will let who is not good to live. I’m narrow-minded, I hold a grudge, and I can’t change it easily. The eunuch who humiliated me when I

first entered the palace, when I was getting along well, I went into his residence, broke the tendons and veins of his limbs, and became a basket case. In fact, everyone knows that I did it, but no one dares to identify me. They all know that I am black-hearted and vindictive. The people in the palace cherish their lives by who they are.

Cheng Yixiao let people stop, I looked at the man, bloody hands, is my blood. I pretended to be submissive and knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound.

“Speak.”

Cheng Yixiao propped up his chin and looked at me with a half-smile. His eyes were contemptuous. He never cared about the life and death of us palace people. I know what Cheng Yixiao wants me to say, but I praised him yesterday. He was annoyed with me, but he wanted to make fun of me.

“The prince, his royal Highness, is graceful and graceful, and has an extraordinary bearing.” Cheng Yi-hsiao frowned before

I had breathed my last breath. I took a breath and hurriedly added: “Jade in the rough, gold in the thick. High mountains and beautiful scenery. Peerless and transcendent. A boat in the middle of the river. High aspirations. Courtesy. Clean sleeves. Beautiful scenery. It’s really a white crane in the clouds. It’s noble and proud. It’s admirable.”

I said that the whole person almost died, because the corners of the mouth cracked, just endure the pain face did not change color to finish. Then I made a big gift to the one sitting at the top, and his eyebrows and eyes opened, and I knew that I would save my life today. Although

I was born out of a beggar’s nest, I was not illiterate. I had secretly listened to the lessons of the school, and I was beaten out several times, but I still stuck to the wall shamelessly.

Cheng Yixiao did not start again today, seems to be quite interested, but also a few drinks. Cheng Yixiao’s heart was blacker than mine, and he poured wine on my face like a fire.

Cheng Yi-hsiao turned up the corners of her mouth and threw a cup of wine made of top-grade jade, hitting a man in the head. “Get out of here.”

I hurried out with a group of palace people. After that, I seemed to be the red man in front of Grandfather Zhang. If there was anything to eat and use, Grandfather Zhang would bring me something good. With a smile on my face, I unceremoniously accepted it all, and took advantage of the days when I could enjoy some happiness, and I might die one day.

In the past few days, many people began to look up to me, thinking that I was lucky enough to come out alive from Cheng Yixiao’s hands. In fact, there are very few people like me who come out alive. I am one of them, but Cheng Yixiao used it for fun. I don’t know which day he will be angry again and wipe my neck. A month has passed since I recovered from my

injury, and Cheng Yixiao has not been in the East Palace for a month. Grandfather Zhang said that there was a disturbance in a southern state, and the emperor sent the prince to suppress it.

I thought that the old emperor was really blind. His son was so noisy that he didn’t care. He stayed in the palace all day long. It’s just that Cheng Yixiao is the best of the seven princes. When it comes to leading troops to fight, the others are either sick or useless. I suspect that Cheng Yixiao did it, but after thinking about it, it has nothing to do with me. Why do I bother to think about it.

Cheng Yixiao’s wrist is really fierce, did not listen to the official’s reason for the turmoil directly wiped the neck, beheaded, the head hung on the gate for seven days. Had it not been for the mention of his entourage before he left, Cheng Yixiao would have forgotten about it.

Cheng Yixiao started again in the temple, and somehow I was scared to belch again.

Cheng Yixiao asked someone to drag me out and squat down in front of him. I saw his complicated robe spread around me and had to look up at him. Although Cheng Yi-hsiao is contemptible in his way of doing things, he looks good again. I think of the coquettish fox eyes I saw in a carriage when I was 13 years old, and I just want to “spit” at him.

“What’s your name?”

Cheng Yixiao’s speech is also lazy, I look at him for a long time, only feel that Cheng Yixiao is light on everything.

“Ning Yaoyao.”

I whispered back, in fact, I do not know what my surname, just recognized Gan Niang, Gan Niang surnamed Ning, I will be so.

Cheng Yixiao let the rest of the people retired, the huge hall only left me and Cheng Yixiao, empty, my heart is not good.

Cheng Yi-hsiao leans back on a carved mahogany chair and stares at it. “Speak.”

“His Royal Highness is well-informed, well-versed in the past and well-versed in the present. He has seen thousands of miles, and has no plan to leave behind..”

Since that day, Cheng Yixiao left me every day, let me kneel on the ground to say his good words, a said for an afternoon.

I knelt on the ground and talked until my mouth was dry. Cheng Yixiao propped up his legs and ate the red grapes from the new tribute. Sometimes he said something serious carelessly. The words that jumped out of Cheng Yixiao’s mouth were yellow gold. I wasn’t born in his stomach. Sometimes I was stunned and didn’t understand what he meant. Then I saw Cheng Yixiao say “Tut.” Then a cup of wine was thrown over, and a blood mark was smashed on my forehead.

Cheng Yixiao is uncertain and moody. Sometimes I praise him for his good looks, but sometimes I don’t like to say that. I can only praise Cheng Yixiao’s inside as a piece of gold inlaid with jade.

Every day when I came out of Cheng Yixiao’s palace, my knees were always bruised and swollen. Many palace maids stopped talking to me and dared not breathe in front of me. Even Grandfather Zhang asked me if the prince had favored me.

I shook my head and said that the prince just wanted me to praise him. Grandfather Zhang listened and patted me on the shoulder with a smile, saying that I had found out the prince’s preferences and would enjoy a happy life in the future.

I know why the palace people think so, Cheng Yixiao sometimes will favor the palace maid, but after the event will let people deal with the favored palace maid, I do not know why he did so, perhaps afraid of leaving evil seeds. Grandfather

Zhang transferred my job to Cheng Yixiao. I gave Grandfather Zhang a lot of silver, but Grandfather Zhang did not accept my kindness. He only said that I should do my best to leave a way out for others. I have some grievances in my heart. I have left a way out for others. Who will leave a way out for me.

I began to take care of Cheng Yixiao’s diet and daily life. Grandfather Zhang told me to be careful, saying that the prince had a bad temper and asked me to pay more attention. In fact, I know that Grandfather Zhang thinks that Cheng Yixiao is interested in me because he has an idea about me. In fact, Cheng Yixiao only tortures people to pass the time. The

first time I entered Cheng Yixiao’s inner room, I stood behind a group of palace maids and stood in front of Cheng Yixiao’s inner room. Grandfather Zhang said that when the prince woke up, he had to rush to the ground to serve him, otherwise no one could afford to wait for the prince. Grandfather Zhang also said that we all started standing outside the door in the middle of the night. Sometimes when the prince woke up, we had to go in and serve him. Sometimes when the prince woke up, we couldn’t say anything more.

I started waiting in the middle of the night. I stood for a long time and my legs were numb. When I got to Yin, there was a noise inside. Grandfather Zhang said that the prince had woken up and let us cheer up, unless no one wanted to live. Grandfather Chang called out softly, “Your Royal Highness.” There was no word from inside, only the sound of something falling to pieces. Grandfather Zhang opened the door and led us in with a bow.

Cheng Yixiao leaned on the bed, tall and tall, half open, propped up one leg, the other leg at will, eyebrows and eyes are full of hostility.

I looked slightly stupefied, was patted on the head by father-in-law Zhang, let me hurry, I respectfully lowered my head, dare not look again. Cheng Yixiao had to be served by more than a dozen people when she was washing and dressing. Grandfather Zhang said that I was a newcomer and asked me to wait with a dish.

Cheng Yixiao, the maid of honor of Yuheng, was suddenly kicked out by Cheng Yixiao and fell beside me. I smelled the fragrant powder on her body. It didn’t smell bad. Maybe I had a bad idea after listening to my story. The maid’s face was covered with tears, and she kept kowtowing on the ground, saying that the prince was forgiving, and blood oozed from her head. Grandfather Zhang ordered someone to pull her out. I turned my face away and didn’t want to see any more.

For a moment, the inner room was somewhat stagnant. Grandfather Zhang whispered to me and asked me to go. He pushed me out without waiting for my reply. I staggered a few steps, lowered my head, and knelt respectfully in front of Cheng Yixiao. Cheng Yixiao bent down and looked down at me. His hair swept over my face, a little itchy.

“That’s a lot of skill.”

Listening to Cheng Yixiao’s words, I had a fine layer of sweat on my forehead, and neatly tied Yuheng for Cheng Yixiao. Cheng Yixiao’s body is unknown incense, I tied his jade Heng, eyes free. After

that, Yuheng for Cheng Yixiao became my job. Zhang Gong came to me in public and private affairs and said that I worked well and wanted to reward me. I happily accepted Grandfather Zhang’s reward and felt that the job was not difficult.

Cheng Yixiao did not let me praise him every day, nor did he talk to me again. Grandfather Zhang felt that I had done something wrong and was out of favor, so he took the reward back. I cut all Grandfather Zhang’s clothes at night. The next day, Grandfather Zhang twisted my ear and asked me who did it. I didn’t say a word, but Grandfather Zhang didn’t hit me.

I am so every day for Cheng Yixiao Yuheng, no one in the inner room to speak, but I always sweat, I am afraid of Cheng Yixiao. My sweaty palms were a little sticky. Touching the cold jade Heng, I looked up at Cheng Yixiao with a guilty conscience, only to find that he was looking at me. I quickly lowered my head and looked at the apricot yellow dragon patterns on Cheng Yixiao’s body. My heart trembled. Grandfather

Zhang said that he would wait earlier these days. I was the only one of the maids who served me. I couldn’t help asking why. Grandfather Zhang narrowed his eyes and said that at the beginning of each month, the prince would get up early to practice his sword in the morning. I nodded thoughtfully, Cheng Yixiao is really a strange person. Grand

father Zhang walked in front, followed by the ladies in small steps, and I held the tribute plate, on which was Cheng Yixiao’s cloud brocade crane. There is a bamboo forest

in front of me. The bamboo is tall and green. I never knew there was such an elegant place in the East Palace. Grandfather Zhang saw me looking around blindly and knocked me on the head with a straight face, telling me to pay attention to my identity. The wind in the

bamboo forest smells particularly good, and my face is wet. I grew up in a mud nest, and I don’t see bamboo many times.

In the distance is Cheng Yixiao, covered by the complex bamboo leaves, I can faintly see some clothes and the light of the sword. Grandfather

Zhang asked me to tell the prince that it was time to pay his respects to the emperor. I pushed him and didn’t want to go. Grandfather Zhang picked up the whisk and was about to hit me. I skillfully drilled past and walked with small steps holding the tribute plate.

Black hair stands high, Cheng Yixiao wears a white shirt, embroidered with layers of auspicious clouds on the gold wire, and there are a few white cranes in the air, which are complex and beautiful. The black jade hanging on the waist trembled with the movement of the sword, and faintly saw the copper, gold and silver inlaid with white jade belt hooks pinned to the waist. Holding the tribute plate,

I called out “Your Highness the Prince” far away from Cheng Yixiao, but Cheng Yixiao didn’t seem to hear it. I hesitated for a moment, thinking about waiting.

Cheng Yixiao’s swordsmanship is like flowing clouds and running water. At last he pulled a sword flower, and I saw bamboo leaves falling on his head. Cheng Yi-hsiao drew back his sword and drew in his scabbard. I paused and shouted, “Your Royal Highness.”.

Cheng Yixiao looked back at me and hooked me. I quickly bowed my head and stepped forward, put on a crane cloak for Cheng Yixiao, and whispered to Cheng Yixiao that it was time to pay my respects. Cheng Yixiao ignored me. I knew he had heard what I said, so I retreated to his side and waited for orders.

Cheng Yixiao took a step, and I followed him, staring at Cheng Yixiao’s straight back. Actually, I have a dagger in my cuff. I carry it with me.

Cheng Yi-hsiao stopped, and I asked carefully, “What orders do you have for the prince?”

Cheng Yixiao darted in front of me and pressed me to the ground in twos and threes, pinching my wrist. I didn’t know what he was going to do. I was embarrassed to think of the words of the palace people in my panic. I didn’t even know I had closed my eyes.

But he didn’t do anything but pull out the dagger I had hidden. I opened my eyes wide in amazement, then lowered my eyes, and said nothing more. Cheng Yixiao laughed twice over my head and threw the dagger to me again. The dagger accidentally scratched the corner of my eye and almost made me blind.

“You look a little more handsome.”

After listening to Cheng Yixiao’s words, I slowly got up from the ground, but Cheng Yixiao walked away. I felt my wrist, and there was a blue mark on it.

Maybe Cheng Yixiao recognized me long ago, but he has been teasing me all the time.

I was afraid for a few days, afraid that Cheng Yixiao would call someone to arrest me. But I still as usual, for Cheng Yixiao Department Yuheng, Cheng Yixiao also did not look at me, as if things in the bamboo forest is a burst of smoke, leisurely drifting away.

I think Cheng Yixiao is very playful. It’s a disaster to keep me in the palace. If I were Cheng Yixiao, the bamboo forest would kill me that day. Maybe Cheng Yixiao didn’t take me seriously at all. He just thought I was a puppy and a kitten to amuse me.

Cheng Yixiao stopped for a few days and did not start again. I sank my heart and felt that I had something to look forward to in the future.

A few days later, Cheng Yi made a bad mistake and called dozens of palace maids to take me with them and kneel down in the hall to praise him. I may be the one who can read a lot and talk a lot. He listened and smiled. A few of them frowned and drew their swords. His clothes were stained with blood. Some of the ladies of the court could not hold up and fainted, so they were carried out. When the lights in the

palace began to shine, I counted the time a little, and it was time. After kneeling for two hours, my feet were very sore. I moved my feet a little and was frightened back by Cheng Yixiao’s eye knife. I shrank and dared not move. I was a little sleepy as I

listened to the ladies’ replies. Last night, there were insects in my house with other ladies of the court, so I lit candles and looked for them all night. They were all a group of 14 or 15 little girls, who were timid and afraid of being frightened. Later, I pulled out the insects from under the shop, yawned and threw them outside the door.

When I came to my senses, there were only three people left in the temple. I looked at Cheng Yixiao. The sword in his hand was not stained with new blood. Maybe it was listening so that people could go back.

At midnight, the bell rang outside, the palace gate was locked, and it was time for curfew. Cheng Yixiao looks, I thought he would let the three of us go when he was tired of listening, but he just didn’t let go.

Cheng Yixiao also gave me the dagger, I have been hiding in the clothes, and when Cheng Yixiao started to clean me up, I will fight with him, if I succeed, I will be the first one who dares to fight with him in the East Palace. If it doesn’t work, I’ll have to cut him a few cuts.

“What’s your name?”

I heard the voice back to God, followed the sound to look, is Cheng Yixiao is asking me. I whispered back, saying that my name was Ning Yaoyao, perhaps he forgot my name, perhaps he didn’t remember it at all. Cheng Yixiao opened his mouth and said something, but I didn’t hear it clearly because there was trouble outside.

Just as I looked back to see what was going on outside the hall, I saw someone dressed in black rushing in. He caught a glimpse of three ladies kneeling on the ground. Perhaps he didn’t expect anyone else. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The knife in the man’s hand went straight to Cheng Yixiao, and I was delighted that Cheng Yixiao, the bastard, had been in trouble for eight lifetimes.

Cheng Yixiao said irritably that he had come again. I was stunned. It turned out that he was used to this. I was a little nervous, afraid that the man could not kill Cheng Yixiao, and I wanted to help him.

Cheng Yixiao picked up the sword and fought with the man. His lazy appearance angered the man. I was dazzled by the sight of swords. The maid beside me had already struggled to run out, leaving me kneeling on the ground alone.

Cheng Yixiao stepped on the chair he often sat on, jumped in the air, turned over, and dropped the knife from the man’s hand. I quietly went around to the back of the pillar, and in front of me was the man in black. I clenched the dagger in my hand, and when Cheng Yixiao stabbed the sword into the man’s abdomen, I rushed up and pierced his meridians with the dagger.

I waited carefully. The man in black closed his eyes. I rushed out. Cheng Yixiao grabbed my arm quickly and turned me around in front of him. Before he could stab the dagger into Cheng Yixiao’s neck, he felt a pain in his front abdomen.

My hands stiffened and I felt so weak that I couldn’t even hold the dagger. I bowed my head in surprise. There were three silver needles on my front abdomen. The man in black was also stunned. It seemed that he didn’t expect me to protect Cheng Yixiao. He stared at me sullenly and bit his tongue to commit suicide. The dagger in

my hand had already been taken away by Cheng Yixiao. He looked at me with a smile. “So loyal?” As soon as my

eyes darkened, I fainted and fell unconscious.

When I woke up, three days had passed. When Grandfather Zhang saw me awake, he asked someone to call the Imperial Physician. Lying in bed, I couldn’t figure out why Cheng Yixiao didn’t tell me about killing him. He was so smart that he could see what I was doing. Unable to think clearly, I simply closed my eyes and fell asleep again. When I

opened my eyes, an imperial physician felt my pulse and said that my body was all right, but I had to move carefully. A little maid of honor brought the boiled medicine. I smelled a bitter taste and drank it with a frown. Cheng Yixiao couldn’t poison it. Besides, it was a matter of words that he wanted my life. Grandfather

Zhang came over and asked me if I was better. I paused and said I was better. Grandfather Zhang said that I was loyal to the Lord, and even the emperor rewarded me with a lot of things.

I asked the Imperial Physician what the needle was, and the Imperial Physician said that the needle was quenched with poison, and if it was later, I would die.

I collected things in such a muddle that I thought Cheng Yixiao was sick.

Day by day, Grandfather Zhang flattered me more and more, saying that I had entered the eyes of the prince, and that I could not forget him if I had benefits in the future. I also know why Grandfather Zhang said that Cheng Yixiao looked at me more and more times.

Once when I tied the jade Heng for him, I even heard him laugh. My hand trembled and I almost dropped the jade Heng in my hand on the ground.

I’m afraid of Cheng Yixiao, and I hate him. Cheng Yixiao got up early

that day to practice swordsmanship, but Grandfather Zhang still asked me to tell the time. Cheng Yi-hsiao pointed a sword at my chest and chatted cheerfully with me, “Do you want to kill Gu?”

I shook my head.

Cheng Yi-hsiao raised her eyebrows, withdrew her sword, drew it back into its scabbard, and threw it over. “Take it.”.

Cheng Yixiao’s sword was so heavy that I couldn’t hold it steadily and followed him with small steps. When Grandfather Zhang saw me holding Cheng Yixiao’s sword, he believed that I would have a bright future and said a lot of good things about me in front of me. Grandfather

Zhang knew that I had recognized my godmother and that she always bullied me, so he had her thrown out of the East Palace. When

my godmother left, she cried with tears in her eyes, saying that I did not know what was good or bad, and that I would be punished in the future. I said I should thank me for saving her life. There was a lot of money to be made in the palace, and she didn’t want to leave. A few days later,

Cheng Yixiao began to tease people again. He scattered the best jade beads, suet jade, red agate, and gold and silver on the ground, and let the palace people rob them.

Cheng Yixiao sat on the steps, looking up at the palace people below. I have been kneeling, did not move, Cheng Yixiao tired to close his eyes, asked me why I did not rob.

“The slaves and maidservants who pay the highest grade of tribute are so humble that they can’t use them and dare not rob them.”

My voice was so small that it was drowned in the noise, but Cheng Yixiao heard it.

Cheng Yixiao tilted his head and laughed, let people in with a cold face, and pulled down all the people who had just looted. When

I came out of the temple, my legs trembled. Although I was used to seeing Cheng Yixiao kill people, I never thought that he had asked for the heads of twenty-nine people in one night. I was lucky this time, and no one can say next time.

Sleeping in a daze, I heard a little maid of honor say that the twenty-nine people had been thrown into the Pearl and Jade Pool and suffocated to death. I was scared out of a cold sweat, wrapped up in bedding, and lost all sleep. When

Cheng Yixiao looked at me, he always had a kind of pondering. He wanted to keep me and send off the long days in the palace. I let out a breath, at least I won’t die in the near future. Every day in the palace, I began to miss the days when I grabbed food at the foot of the city wall. At least, at that time, I just filled my stomach and didn’t have to guess people’s minds.

I am a little tired, do not want to guess Cheng Yixiao’s mind, can not guess.

Cheng Yixiao tortured me and teased me every day, until that day, he left me in the temple and did not let me go. The fire in the

hall flickered on and off, and I dared to say, “Your Highness, it’s time to be ugly.”

Cheng Yi-hsiao gave a lazy “hum” and turned over on the couch. At this time in the past, people came to serve Cheng Yixiao to change his clothes and go to bed, but Cheng Yixiao let them all go down today, leaving me alone kneeling in the hall, not talking to me, just letting me kneel. Grand

father Zhang once told me that the prince didn’t even have a pillow, so he didn’t want to annoy us every day. He also pushed me to make me more clever. Also said that I know the root of the matter, if the prince favored me, he also rest assured, but I have to change my temper, or sooner or later let the prince kick down.

But I don’t want to be Cheng Yixiao’s pillow.

Just as I was about to speak, Cheng Yixiao got up, carrying a sword in his hand, and walked towards me barefoot. I was startled. Grandfather Zhang was wrong. He didn’t want to be spoiled. He wanted my life at all.

But there was no dagger in my cuff. When I was alone as the Savior, Cheng Yixiao took it away. I closed my eyes and sat waiting for death.

Cheng Yixiao’s sword slowly crossed my forehead, nose, and finally stopped on my lips. Without further movement, I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hid my hand in my sleeve, trembling slightly. Cheng Yi-hsiao suddenly drew back his sword and pointed to the water grapes in a jade dish in the main hall. “It’s yours.”

I thanked the prince, who had been holding the grapes at a loss, hesitating, and did not know whether to eat or not.

Cheng Yi-hsiao leaned back on the couch. Seeing me in a daze, she said, “Come here.” When I

came to him, I was still holding grapes in my hand, and I looked embarrassed. Cheng Yixiao looked at me with a smile and did not speak, just waiting for me to move. I hesitantly peeled off a water grape, looked at Cheng Yixiao suspiciously, and put it in my mouth.

Sure enough, the food for the prince was much better than that of our palace people. The grapes were crystal clear, moist and juicy. I only felt sweet when I ate them in my mouth. I was used to bitter food since I was a child, but I didn’t realize that I had secretly raised the corners of my mouth.

Cheng Yixiao saw me laughing secretly and stretched out his hand. I shivered for fear that he would hit me. But Cheng Yi-hsiao frowned, gave a “tut,” and reached out and rubbed my head.

I opened my eyes wide and looked at Cheng Yixiao.

That day Cheng Yixiao left me in the temple for the night. Cheng Yixiao, a bastard, let me eat five dishes of water grapes. He said prickly while rubbing my hair. I really wanted to pry open his skull to see what demons and ghosts were inside.

When I went back to my residence, the first person I saw was Grandfather Zhang. Grandfather Zhang asked me how I was with a smile. Just as I was about to open my mouth, I felt a surge in my stomach and retched. I waved my hand to Grandfather Zhang and left. Grandfather

Zhang opened his mouth wide and said softly behind me, “Be careful of fetal gas.”.

I gave father-in-law Zhang a hard look. He was really a eunuch. He didn’t even know how to have sex. How could he conceive a child one day? Besides, I ate too many water grapes and had a stomachache. The ladies of the

court became more and more respectful to me, saying that I was the best in the court. I saw the way they wanted to give me up, but I could only curse them behind their backs to give birth to a child without an asshole.

Cheng Yixiao let me stay overnight every night, do nothing, just give me something, lie on the couch, watch me eat, and rub my hair from time to time. Cheng Yixiao looked tired, then went to bed, I sat on the ground against Cheng Yixiao’s bed to sleep. These days I am bold, and sometimes I say to Cheng Yixiao that I don’t want to eat. Cheng Yixiao looks at me and lets me go back.

I don’t think Cheng Yixiao is so scary, and I’m not so afraid of him, but I still hate him. There were more and more rumors in the

palace until they reached Cheng Yixiao’s ears.

That day I ate Cheng Yixiao’s fruit, and my eyes bent into a crescent moon.

“Do you want to climb the lonely bed?” As I

listened, I shivered, and the bright red fruit in my hand was scattered all over the floor. The jade dish rolled around on the ground, turned around a few times, and then closed on the ground with a “bang.”.

“The maidservant does not dare.”

I was so scared that I didn’t dare to breathe. My head was on the ground. Cheng Yixiao was a little better to me. I forgot Ben. I was really heartless.

Cheng Yixiao squatted down and asked me to raise my head and look at me carefully. I was frightened

by his observation, and just as I was thinking of a few words to defend myself, I heard Cheng Yi-hsiao’s undisciplined tone in my ears: “It’s accurate.”

I stared at Cheng Yixiao in a daze. He hooked his lips and pulled me down on the couch. Where

am I willing to struggle. When Cheng Yixiao saw me like this, his eyes flashed with banter, and he restrained me in two or three times. He tied up my hands with a headband and lifted them to the top of my head, which made me hum.

I wasn’t afraid to die, either, and the fire in my heart went straight to my head. Just as I was about to shout abuse, Cheng Yi-hsiao gagged me, unable to speak.

Cheng Yixiao and my lips and teeth intertwined, I a cruel bite of his tongue, filled with the smell of blood, Cheng Yixiao eat pain snorted, pulled out my dagger from the side of my throat.

I cried out and traded my body for my life.

Cheng Yixiao’s hair let me pull off a few, he was not annoyed, let me go, asked me if I still want to kill him, but I broke the pot, nodded hard. Cheng Yixiao smiled and threw a piece of jade pendant with carp pattern from one side for me to keep. I broke my teeth and swallowed it in my stomach. I picked up the jade pendant in a stuffy way. At least I took it out and didn’t worry about food and clothing all my life.

When I limped back to my residence, Grandfather Zhang came over with a shy face and asked me if something good had happened. I paused for a moment and nodded. Grandfather Zhang smiled and asked someone to give me a new dress, saying that if I was more clever, I could be a Fengyi. Looking at Grandfather Zhang, an old fox, I wanted to slap him in the mouth. There is no female master in

the East Palace, only Cheng Yixiao. When

I tied Yuheng for Cheng Yixiao, Cheng Yixiao looked at me with an ambiguous look, which made me feel uncomfortable. It seemed that I couldn’t tie it well in my hands, and I was sweating all over. Cheng Yixiao is also too lazy to urge me, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up and looked at me, like looking at a kitten.

Because I was still holding Cheng Yixiao’s jade pendant in my hand, I was so bold that I glared at him. But after staring at me, I regretted it, because Cheng Yixiao pulled down his face and stared at me with gloomy eyes. I felt a chill in my

heart and felt that it was going to be over.

Cheng Yixiao pulled Yuheng from my hand, tied it himself, and told Grandfather Zhang that he didn’t want to see me in the future. Grandfather Zhang glared at me and drove me out. I went

back to my last job. I leaned against the window and counted the falling leaves on the branches outside. When the wind blew, I sneezed. It was almost winter. A

few days later, when I was cleaning the window, Grandfather Zhang came to me in a panic and said that the prince was angry. I threw the rag in Grandfather Zhang’s face and said it was none of my business. Grandfather

Chang laughed and said, “Little aunt, let’s go and have a look.”

I was half dragged and half dragged to the inner room by Grandfather Zhang, and there were a lot of people kneeling inside. Before I went in, I was so frightened that I stood on my head.

An eyeball rolled to my feet.

I was so scared that I wanted to run away, but Grandfather Zhang grabbed me and couldn’t move. Grand

father Zhang said that when a palace maid was wearing court clothes for the prince, she had to stick it on the prince’s body without knowing whether she was alive or dead. The prince had gouged out his eyeballs. Now the prince was not in court, so he spent time in the inner hall. Hearing this,

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and knelt on the ground to beg Grandfather Zhang not to let me go. Grandfather Zhang shook his head at me and kicked me in.

I fell headlong on the ground, and although there was a blanket on the ground, it still made a lot of noise. I got up

quickly and met Cheng Yixiao when I was about to salute. Cheng Yixiao’s face was gloomy and he sneered when he saw me coming.

“Your Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, Wan An.” I

was so frightened that I could hardly speak. I stammered and stuck to the ground, not daring to look up. Cheng Yi-hsiao did not speak again, but I dared to say again, “Your Highness, the prince, Wan An.”

I said again, but Cheng Yixiao was silent. With Cheng Yixiao for a long time, I also found out what kind of person he is, say a word like jumping gold, people must try to figure out.

Your Royal Highness, Wan An. His Royal Highness, Wan An. His Royal Highness Prince Wan An..

I have been talking about Wan for a long time, and finally my tongue is numb. Cheng Yixiao let everyone go. I touched the sweat on my forehead and went out of the inner room to hear Grandfather Zhang say that I was a treasure and should be treated well.

Later, I was transferred back to the inner room to serve, but Cheng Yixiao no longer looked at me, nor did he let me tie Yuheng to him, so he let me carry a plate, nor did he let me go out. One end was a day, and he was willing to let me go back at dusk. It

‘s Cheng Yixiao’s new way of torturing people. I think I can’t stand it one day and rush up to fight with this bastard in prince’s clothes. Anyway, no one can feel better. In fact, I know in my heart that this little mistake is minor penalty, just like teasing a cat, but I can’t guess his mind.

“Come here.”

Cheng Yixiao looked boneless, half leaning on the table, holding the wine in one hand.

When I walked over with the dish, Cheng Yixiao grabbed my chin and poured wine into my mouth. I had never drunk such a strong thing since I was a child, so I was choked out, the plate in my hand was knocked over, and the water spilled all over the floor.

Cheng Yixiao had a casual smile on his face, and his slender fingers hooked the jade pot of wine and handed it to me. I

couldn’t help it. I bit my lip and drank it all. There was a twitch in my stomach. I thought I was going to vomit. Anyway, I vomited on him. But I dare not, or hold back, hold back the face red.

Cheng Yixiao rubbed my head and told me to be good. I was dizzy when I

heard it. The wine was so spicy that it burned in my stomach.

I do not know how long, when I looked up at Cheng Yixiao, I was drunk and confused, the shadow in front of me was shaking, I did not know who was in front of me, a pair of eyes with spring water, asked who he was.

“Solitary is the prince.”

“Who is the prince?”

“It’s your master.”

I spat on his face and said I had no master.

Cheng Yixiao cold face, strangled my skirt, dragged me out, I cried, holding Cheng Yixiao’s legs refused to let go.

Cheng Yixiao threw me outside the temple, not to let people take care of me, who meddle in other people’s affairs will let him lose his head. I cried all night on the green bricks outside the hall. Just after winter, the cold wind swished into my clothes. I didn’t wear much and shivered with cold, but no one cared about me. I cried all the time, trembling on the green bricks until midnight. Cheng Yixiao was tired of crying. He came over with a sword and put it on my neck.

“Be honest.”

I was honest and followed Cheng Yixiao back to the hall with small steps. Cheng Yixiao threw me to Grandfather Zhang and said that Grandfather Zhang would do it as he saw fit. Zhang father-in-law took me very embarrassed, after all, I am still Cheng Yixiao’s woman, he called his disciple Xiao Guizi, let Xiao Guizi do as he sees fit.

The little rich son is also very embarrassed, asked his master, I am in Cheng Yixiao heart weight is not heavy, Zhang father-in-law said hard to say. Little Takako frowned, and the two men stayed with me all night. I didn’t sleep honestly, and my saliva was wiped on Grandfather Zhang’s clothes. Grandfather Zhang pulled me up in a shrill voice, saying that all the rules I learned were eaten by dogs. When I

woke up, I felt a little confused and had a headache. I asked Grandfather Zhang in a low voice what happened last night. Grandfather

Zhang immediately jumped up and said that you had the nerve to say it, and then told me a story. I listened and lowered my head, feeling that Cheng Yixiao had indulged me a little. If he had been, he would have disposed of me, and then exposed my body for three days.

After all, I did what many people wanted to do and dared not do, spitting on the prince.

Today Cheng Yixiao asked me to lift the dish over my head, and I scolded him in my heart. After a quarter of an hour, someone came hurriedly and whispered a few words to Cheng Yixiao. Seeing that I was here, he was a little embarrassed.

Cheng Yi-hsiao didn’t even look at me. She waved her hand and said, “Don’t worry about her.”

I turned my head. I don’t want to hear about your shit.

Cheng Yixiao left in a hurry. Before he left, he said that if I was lazy, he would take off my arm. I nodded cleverly, and as soon as he left, I put the dish down and lay down on Cheng Yixiao’s couch to sleep late. Recently, Grandfather Zhang said that I was getting bolder and bolder because of the prince’s favor. I snickered and felt that Grandfather Zhang was right. On Cheng Yixiao’s couch was the unknown incense on his body. I took a deep breath and felt it smelled good. No one dares to come in

anyway. When

Cheng Yixiao came back, I was still sleeping soundly. I didn’t hear him. I just felt uncomfortable and was pressed by something. When I opened my eyes, it was Cheng Yixiao who held me in his arms. I smelled the blood on his body and moved with some discomfort.

“Don’t move.”

Cheng Yixiao’s voice sounded in my ear, the voice was deep and a little dull, I felt my ears crisp and numb, and shrank my shoulders. I did not move again, by the cool moonlight, I saw the dark red blood on Cheng Yixiao’s body, dried up, some terrible.

I was held in Cheng Yixiao’s arms all night, and I didn’t even dare to move. I knew he had just killed someone, and he was very angry. I was afraid that if I accidentally provoked him, I would have no good fruit to eat. I spent the night with my eyes open, until when Grandfather Zhang led people in to serve me, he saw me being held in Cheng Yixiao’s arms, staring and speechless, and hurriedly let everyone back out.

I snickered, groped around Cheng Yixiao for a while, and felt the dagger that Cheng Yixiao had pulled out of my hand. I gently pulled out, but was wrapped in a slender hand, I tried to break free, can only put back, Cheng Yixiao loosened my hand, and hugged me.

I know in my heart that he hasn’t slept.

When Cheng Yixiao woke up, at noon, Cheng Yixiao threw the dagger to me and asked me if I still wanted to kill him. I do not know whether to nod, Cheng Yixiao ignored me.

I found that Cheng Yixiao was indulging me more and more.

Once Cheng Yixiao even asked me to cook for him. When I finished my work, I stared at a squirrel fish with southern milk. I don’t know if he saw it. I was afraid of being seen, so I took a glance at him quietly and ran into his eyes.

He refused to let me serve the dish, and said that if I liked to eat the southern milk squirrel fish, I would go to the cook to ask for it myself. I nodded happily, feeling that Cheng Yixiao was not useless. Grandfather

Zhang also began to call me little ancestor, and did not dare to scold me any more. Sometimes I lacked some powder and cream, and Grandfather Zhang asked people to bring good ones from outside the palace to supply me. I always feel that this is not a good omen, people walk too high, it is easy to fall, I hope I can have a whole body.

Cheng Yixiao sometimes came back at night and fell on the couch and asked Grandfather Zhang to call me. I was pulled up from the bedding by the palace maid and reluctantly went to Cheng Yixiao’s bedroom. Without saying a word, Cheng Yixiao grabbed me and pulled me to his bed, holding me in his arms. I frowned at first, then I got used to the smell of blood on Cheng Yixiao’s body, and gradually got used to it. Every stitch Cheng Yixiao used was the best. His couch was soft, unlike our maid’s shop, which became cold and hard at night.

I didn’t ask Cheng Yixiao why. Anyway, he didn’t tell me. In the middle of the night, when I was sleeping in a daze, Cheng Yi-hsiao held me in her arms and said, “Dagger.”

I curled my lips, and if Cheng Yixiao didn’t say anything, I would have forgotten about it. I took out the dagger and shook the shadow by the moonlight. Cheng Yixiao looked at it, said no more, and hugged me to sleep again.

I didn’t dare to make a clean break when Cheng Yixiao hugged me. Apart from anything else, Cheng Yixiao and I were the only two people in the bedroom. When the time came, I would squat in the prison and sleep on a hay mat. I am used to

enjoying happiness, and I am not willing to suffer.

I looked at Cheng Yixiao’s closed eyes and asked him, “Isn’t the prince afraid?”? Why not deal with the maidservant?

Cheng Yixiao did not answer me, the moonlight outside the window came in, pouring out the clear light all over the ground.

He didn’t want to answer me, and I didn’t ask again. Everyone thought it was nothing.

Before I knew it, New Year’s Eve was six days away. Counting up, I and Cheng Yixiao also battle of wits and courage for more than half a year, he only touched me once, also did not give me status. Grandfather Zhang told me not to be complacent, saying that I was not the first woman of the prince. Naturally, I knew that the spoiled prince in the palace had a connection at the age of fifteen, and whether he was given a place or not depended on the prince’s mind.

Cheng Yixiao sometimes went to pay his respects and let me follow him. I saw the emperor for the first time. His face was pale, his cheeks were sunken, and his eyes were scattered. It seemed that he would die without a wick of incense. Grandfather Zhang reminded me not to say what I shouldn’t have said. I shook my head and said that my mouth was honest. I thought carefully, the emperor old son like this, also did not know is Cheng Yixiao’s wrist.

I began to be afraid of Cheng Yixiao, he even his own father dare to start, where my life in the eye, I serve, dare not sing a different tune with Cheng Yixiao.

Cheng Yixiao seemed unhappy to see me honest and asked me why I was like a quail. I said I was a slave, and I should be respectful to serve my master. Cheng Yixiao smiled and asked me what I thought. I shook my head and said I didn’t have that idea. Cheng Yixiao didn’t ask me again. He could see that I was lying.

Cheng Yixiao gave me a white jade bead and let me keep it for fun. I smiled and curled my eyebrows, took the beads and said thank you, Your Royal Highness. Cheng Yixiao reached out and rubbed my head, saying that if I was obedient, I would be saved. Cheng Yixiao didn’t let me go that night and rewarded me with a dish of cloud cake.

Cheng Yixiao watched me finish eating the last piece of cloud cake, his eyes darkened, and he pulled me to the couch.

I looked at his eyebrows and eyes close at hand and was confused. Cheng Yixiao asked me if the cloud cake was delicious. I swallowed it and looked at him in a daze. Cheng Yixiao stretched out the tip of her tongue and licked away the residue at the corners of my mouth. She kept staring at me with a smile. I blushed.

I scratched a red mark on Cheng Yixiao’s back. He hugged me and said that if I hurt him, he would cut off my hand. I withdrew my hand and broke down in tears.

Lunar New Year’s Eve, the palace is lively and full of jubilation. Because the emperor is not in good health, he has been lying in bed. Sitting at the top of the banquet was Cheng Yixiao.

Cheng Yixiao seems to like lively, I watched Cheng Yixiao and a group of ministers drinking, drinking and talking happily, I think if Cheng Yixiao is more gentle, then there will not be so many people want to kick him down from this seat. Then I won’t meet Cheng Yixiao, I won’t enter the palace, and I won’t want to kill him.

I helped Cheng Yixiao back to the bedroom hall, he was full of alcohol, tilted on my body, warm breath sprinkled on my ears. To the bedroom hall, Cheng Yixiao refused to let me go, I lay down beside Cheng Yixiao to rest.

“Ning Yaoyao.”

“The maidservant is here.”

Cheng Yixiao called me in a low voice, and I hastened to answer, thinking that he had something to tell me.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yixiao stopped talking and buried his head in my neck.

I thought Cheng Yixiao was calling my name on a whim, but I didn’t care, so I fell asleep again.

“Ning Yaoyao.”

“The maidservant is here.” When

I was in a daze and wanted to dream again, I heard Cheng Yixiao calling me again. But after I answered, Cheng Yixiao was silent again. I gave him a hard look when he was drunk and couldn’t see me.

“You stare at me alone.”

“The maidservant does not dare.”

I didn’t expect Cheng Yixiao to be so keen when she was drunk, and I was a little scared for a moment. But Cheng Yixiao didn’t speak again. I just thought he was a living dead man and wanted to pull all the bedding on his body. But when I thought that if Cheng Yixiao sobered up, he would take it out on me, I didn’t dare.

The next day Cheng Yixiao woke up earlier than I did. He asked me to dress him and asked me why I stared at him last night. My body a stiff, this bastard unexpectedly still remember not forget, I lowered my head and said the maidservant no rules, prince don’t blame the maidservant. Cheng Yixiao bent down and stared at my eyes, staring me out of a cold sweat, but in the end still did not do anything to me. After

that, Cheng Yixiao also asked Grandfather Zhang to call me. Grandfather Zhang was so happy that he said that the prince could not see me and could not eat. He praised me for my ability. I gave Grandfather Zhang an eye knife and followed him slowly.

Cheng Yixiao asked the others to step down and let me try the dishes for him. I am eager to help him try the dishes, looking at a table of delicacies, such as bird’s nest, assorted chicken, Ruyi Tired, Drunken Chicken, Jade Rabbit Cabbage, Money Fish Maw, Pearl Tofu, Dragon and Phoenix Painting Gold Box.. There are a lot of things I can’t name.

I tried several dishes, and the food of the prince is different from that of the palace people. I ate so much that I forgot myself for a moment. I ate before Cheng Yixiao. The prince’s eyes sank. He called Grandfather Zhang and said that he would forbid me to eat for three days. I look a meal, thought Cheng Yixiao changed his temper, did not expect the inside or a bad embryo. Cheng Yixiao this bastard is narrow-minded, not just ate some of his food.

A maid of honor rushed to curry favor with me, and I was not hungry for three days.

Cheng Yixiao asked me to try the dishes for him again. I had a lesson from the past. I saw Cheng Yixiao move the jade chopsticks before I dared to move again. Cheng Yixiao saw my rules and said that if I wanted to eat something, I would eat more. I carefully ate a mouthful, see Cheng Yixiao did not change look, and dare to eat a few mouthfuls, Cheng Yixiao ignored me, he went out, so I ate all the dishes on the table alone.

Eating people with short mouths and soft hands, I think Cheng Yixiao is not as bad as the rumors. In the past six months, except when he first came to Cheng Yixiao’s palace to serve, he treated me well. The minister in the

court scolded Cheng Yixiao and fawned on Cheng Yixiao. Every day I could see a minister coming to the East Palace and laughing at Cheng Yixiao. Those ministers brought a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, Cheng Yixiao and others left and let me go to see if there is anything I want. I don’t know if Cheng Yixiao really wants to reward me. Pointing to a glittering luminous pearl, she smiled and said that the maidservant wanted this.

Cheng Yixiao gave a “tut” and threw the luminous pearl over. With a “thump”, it rolled to my feet. I looked at Cheng Yixiao with some surprise.

“Did the prince really reward the maidservant?”

“Take it.”

I slowly bent down and picked up a cool bead. I was too frightened to speak. This bead is enough to feed me for several lifetimes. Cheng Yixiao saw that I was dull and hooked me.

I slowly moved over and thanked the prince for his reward. Cheng Yixiao patted me on the head and said that if I had something I liked, I would take it myself. I just felt my head was going to smoke, and I went back to my residence with a luminous pearl in my hand. I couldn’t sleep well. After

receiving Cheng Yixiao’s benefits, I found that I didn’t hate Cheng Yixiao so much. I was open-minded when I saw money, and I was happy when I gave some sweetness. But on second thought, this is my body in exchange for, do not take white do not take, I feel at ease to accept, but also asked Cheng Yixiao for the red coral string. Grandfather

Zhang saw that I had benefited and said that it was my blessing for the prince to take a fancy to me. I smiled at him. Do you want this blessing. Grandfather Zhang did not speak, saying that I should not be unappreciative.

I played with the red coral string and suddenly cried. I lost my body in the East Palace and could not marry again. I was locked in the East Palace all my life and became the prince’s plaything.

Cheng Yixiao never asked me whether I would like it or not. He thought about it, pulled me up and down on the couch, covered my mouth, and didn’t want to hear me cry. I cried so hard that night that no one could coax me. A maid of honor said in a low voice that I heard her. I slapped her face and made her face swollen, but she didn’t dare to fight back.

I know she said behind my back that I was a bitch, and I didn’t know what was good for me.

I don’t want to climb up like others. I want to climb, too, but I don’t want to climb any higher. I’m timid and afraid. When I saw Cheng Yixiao

the next day, he looked at my red and swollen eyes and frowned slightly, saying that I was really ugly. I lowered my head and did not speak. Cheng Yixiao saw me quiet, frowned and asked me if someone bullied me, I shook my head. Cheng Yixiao didn’t leave me that night and let me go back.

I nestled in the bedding and laughed. In fact, the maid was right. I was a bitch.

Cheng Yixiao asked me to serve him when he ate, and he also hugged me at night. Cheng Yixiao hugged me tightly at night. I curled my mouth. He loosened his arm, let me turn over, and then hugged me again. Cheng Yixiao appreciated me more and more things. In addition to a huge luminous pearl, there were all kinds of turquoise and red agate in my small box.

I feel like I’m floating into the clouds and I’m nowhere to be found. Grandfather Zhang said that thanks to me, the prince killed fewer people, and the maids in front of the palace were replaced. I am a little confused, I do not know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, Cheng Yixiao is too indulgent to me, I suddenly feel that entering the palace is not all bad. In

spring, when the grass grows and warblers fly, I lie in a small pavilion in the East Palace and play lazily. A white butterfly stopped on the stone bench of the pavilion. I came to the spirit and slowly approached the butterfly. I wanted to play with the butterfly. The butterfly noticed me, shook its wings and flew away. I followed it with small steps. The butterfly flew to the peach blossom branch and did not move. I moved over quietly, and just as I was about to jump on it, I caught a glimpse of the figure beside me and stopped.

I looked up and lowered my head again. It was a man I had never seen in the East Palace. I saw that he was dressed in simple but elegant clothes, but they were all made of good materials.

“The maidservant bumped into your majesty. I hope you don’t blame him.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

He smiled at me, and I saluted him and hurried away. Cheng Yixiao doesn’t want me to talk to others. If he sees it, he may come up with some way to torture me. That time, Cheng Yixiao’s sword spike was missing. Grandfather Zhang asked all the people in the East Palace to help him find it. I asked a eunuch because he was the last one to take the sword. The little eunuch said that things were still hanging well at that time, but somehow they were gone.

I raised my eyebrows and said, “Is it so evil?”? As soon as I finished speaking, I was pulled away by someone carrying my skirt. I was strangled so that my neck hurt. One of them stepped on the air carelessly and fell to the ground, knocking his leg. Cheng Yixiao looked at his romantic fox eyes and told me not to stir up trouble. I nodded sullenly, even a word is not allowed to say, bastard.

I went back to my residence and asked a little maid of honor who was looking for the prince today. The little maid of honor blushed and said that you didn’t know him. He was really an elm head. She said that it was the son of Xu’s parents, who dreamed of many daughters’ spring boudoir. I did not ask again, a person inside the palace gate, a person outside the palace gate, eight poles can not hit.

I thought I was not slow at that time, how to let Cheng Yixiao see.

A little maid of honor asked me to fetch some indigo for her thrush. I had nothing to do, so I promised her. The little maid of honor called me a good sister and went to work. I was walking on the road, but unexpectedly I bumped into Cheng Yixiao. Cheng Yixiao walked in the front, dressed in a luxurious moire black dress, followed by many people. I saw Cheng Yixiao followed by Xu’s parents and son smiled at me, and suddenly panicked. Cheng Yixiao passed by my side and stared at me sullenly.

I hurriedly lowered my head and bit my lip. I bumped into the eldest son of the Xu family. He knew about it, but I didn’t do anything shameful. Why did he scare me.

I waited with trepidation for a day, and Cheng Yixiao did not return to the palace until the curfew hour. Grandfather Zhang said that the prince didn’t want to see me, so I couldn’t step into the prince’s bedroom in the future. I replied that I knew, so I rested.

I was biting my fingers in the bedding, and I didn’t know why I was nervous. The bedding was hard, and I was used to sleeping on Cheng Yixiao’s soft couch. I was a little delicate, and I was more or less uncomfortable with my bedding.

I don’t know what’s the point of Cheng Yixiao playing me like this.

Some of the palace maids had long disliked me and felt that I had lost the favor of the prince, and began to trip me up. In the past three years in the East Palace, I was not a vegetarian, and those who could return them were returned, and those who could not move also played tricks in private. My life is not quiet, I think of the days when I used to kneel in front of Cheng Yixiao and dare not breathe, and I think it’s not bad. There was a pond in

the East Palace. Because Grandfather Zhang said that the prince didn’t want to see me, he transferred me to the pond to feed the fish. I am bored to scatter fish food, looking at the clouds floating in the sky, soft, I think of Cheng Yixiao’s soft collapse.

Suddenly, with a splash, I fell into the pool. A few koi in the water saw me fall into the water and swam away.

Someone pushed me. I

‘m a landlubber, and I don’t know water.

This place is remote. I fell into the water alone, and no one came to save me. When I opened my eyes

again, I was lying in Lan Lan’s arms. I hadn’t seen her for a long time since I entered the front of the temple to wait on her.

Lan Lan said that my body is cool, took the bedding to wrap me tightly, touched my forehead, I patted off Lan Lan’s hand, said my life is hard.

Lan Lan cried and lay on me and asked me to go back with her. I shook my head and said that it was not up to us to decide what happened in the palace. Lan Lan sobbed and said she knew. I patted Lan Lan on the back and said I was not wronged. Lan Lan hugged me and cried all night. My eyes were red.

When I was better, Lan Lan said that she had just passed by here to fetch water, and when she saw someone fall into the water, she came up to know that it was me. I lost a moment, because I just thought of Cheng Yixiao.

I stayed at Lan Lan’s residence for two days and then said goodbye. I hadn’t handed in the sign yet, nor had I returned to my residence. Grandfather Zhang should have known about it, but no one came to me.

I went back to my residence. The room was empty and there was no one there. I was a little suspicious. When I handed the sign to the eunuch in charge of the palace sign, the eunuch saw me staring and asked me what I had done. I laughed and said I was lazy. The eunuch hurriedly asked someone to hold me. I asked the eunuch what he was doing. The eunuch said that I, a little bastard, had poked a hole in the sky.

I was escorted to the Prince Hall, where Grandfather Zhang was kneeling on the ground shaking, with blood oozing from his back, and he was whipped.

I looked up, but I didn’t see Cheng Yixiao.

“Your Highness, the prince has brought the men.” The eunuch who

was escorting me screamed, and a figure came out slowly. I squinted at it. It was Cheng Yixiao.

Maybe he lost his temper again and didn’t find me, which made him angry again.

Cheng Yixiao’s eyes were as cold as frost, and I was a little nervous. Cheng Yixiao approached, pulled my hair and pulled it up the steps. I was so hurt by him that I burst into tears. Cheng Yixiao pulled my hair and pulled me to the edge of the table.

He threw me out with one hand. I hit my head on the corner of the table. I reached out and touched the blood in my hand. I felt wronged. Why did Cheng Yixiao treat me like this? I was not convinced. I stood up and wanted to go outside the temple.

“You still want to go?”

When Cheng Yixiao saw me get up, he threw the whip in one hand, and blood splashed on my face. I was holding my breath in my heart, and I don’t know why I couldn’t hold my breath and went out with a cold face. Cheng Yixiao walked up to me and asked me what I was doing. When I heard his words, I felt even more aggrieved. I wiped away the tears from my eyes and smiled at him. “Your Royal Highness, the maidservant hates you.”

Cheng Yixiao frowned, touched my broken head, and felt the blood in his hand. I looked at him coldly, but I was not afraid of death.

“Does it hurt?”

Cheng Yixiao twirled his fingers and asked me. I held my neck in silence, and my tears fell to the ground like a broken thread. Cheng Yixiao irritably turned his face away and asked Grandfather Zhang to go to the Imperial Physician. Grandfather Zhang hurriedly got up from the ground, ignoring the injury on his back, and ran to the Imperial Hospital.

The doctor came quickly, stopped my bleeding, and felt my pulse, saying that I had caught a cold. Cheng Yixiao frowned and asked me what was going on. I took the courage to fight him just now and said that someone had pushed me into the pool. Cheng Yixiao raised his neck and glanced at Grandfather Zhang, who was submissive and did not dare to make a sound.

“Later you will follow Gu.” After

that, because I caught a cold, Cheng Yixiao didn’t let me work with the palace maids any more. Grandfather Zhang even asked the cook to cook a bird’s nest for me to drink. I almost thought I was a lady from a rich family. Grand

father Zhang tidied up a side hall for me, next to Cheng Yixiao’s bedroom hall, and whispered to me that the person who pushed me that day had been found out, and the prince had her head pressed and suffocated in the pool. When I heard this, I felt a little uncomfortable. Grandfather Zhang asked me to say something nice to the prince in front of him. I said “um” perfunctorily and didn’t care any more.

Cheng Yixiao still treated me as before, but more accommodating.

Cheng Yixiao asked me if I recognized Xu Ye. I shook my head, thinking that it should be the name of Xu’s son. Cheng Yixiao didn’t ask much, but said that I couldn’t make trouble with him in the future. I was a little upset and felt that Cheng Yixiao regarded me as his concubine, but he didn’t give me any status, this black-hearted bastard. When

Cheng Yixiao hugged me at night, his chin rubbed against the wound on my head. I hissed. Cheng Yixiao opened his eyes and asked me, “Does it still hurt?”

It wasn’t a big deal, but somehow I put on a pathetic look and said, “It hurts.”

Cheng Yixiao paused, then released me, after midnight did not hug me again.

My heart some joy, but some unspeakable sadness, I found Cheng Yixiao still have some guilt for me, so I spread the joy.

“Your Highness, the maidservant wants to eat the lotus cake.”

“Your Royal Highness, the maidservant wants jade beads inlaid with cicadas in gold thread and fragrant wood.”

“Your Highness, the maidservant wants to swing.”

So Cheng Yixiao, with a cold face, asked someone to build a swing for me in the courtyard of the side hall. Grandfather Zhang saw that I was presumptuous and said bitterly that the prince would throw me out sooner or later. As soon as I opened my mouth, I was about to call out “Your Royal Highness.” Grandfather Zhang quickly called me “little aunt” in a low voice, asking me to pity him.

I was swinging in the yard and let a little maid push me. Zhang Gong asked me what kind of temperament the emperor was. I sneered and said that you were a serious eunuch. Grandfather Zhang scratched his head sheepishly, saying that he had been in the palace for most of his life and had served the prince for fourteen years, but he was still not sure.

I pretended to be deep and said that real people should not show their faces. In fact, I do not understand, my dagger has been hidden in the body. Sometimes I want to throw caution to the wind, in the middle of the night when I want to start, Cheng Yixiao grabbed my hand, neither light nor heavy, unable to move.

I always feel that Cheng Bastard sleeps with his eyes open. Grandfather

Zhang said that Cheng Yixiao’s birthday was coming, so I thought, don’t be too ugly at that time. I thought about it for a while, thinking about what it meant to send something. Grandfather Zhang asked me to send something unique, so that I could get a place.

I thought about it carefully, but it was better to pretend that I didn’t know. Anyway, I would be able to leave the palace when I was twenty-five years old. I felt a little uncomfortable when I thought about it for eight years.

Cheng Yixiao’s birthday party was very beautiful, and the whole palace was full of joy. Cheng Yixiao went to touch the wine glass with the minister, but he didn’t take me with him. I spent the day playing with birds in the side hall. I haven’t had a birthday, and no one has given it to me. In fact, I envy Cheng Yixiao. The birth is really good. It’s a life of happiness. When

Cheng Yixiao came back, she was so drunk that she stumbled and lay down on my couch. I sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to tell me. Cheng Yi-hsiao asked me when my birthday would be, and I said I hadn’t had a birthday in 17 years. Cheng Yi-hsiao said “hmm” lazily.

In the middle of the night, Cheng Yixiao suddenly sat up from the bed. I slept in a daze and asked him what was wrong. Cheng Yixiao called someone to come in and asked the man to ask if there was anything left in the kitchen. The man soon came back and said there were still three small dishes of almond bergamot left. Cheng Yixiao asked someone to bring the almond Buddha’s hand and put it in front of me.

“Your Highness, the prince, gave this to the maidservant?”

I asked, but Cheng Yixiao ignored me.

I smiled and ate a mouthful quietly, feeling that Cheng Yixiao was sometimes very good, and I didn’t hate him so much.

At night, I was held in Cheng Yixiao’s arms. He asked me if I wanted to follow him out of the palace. I slept in a daze. I just nodded and didn’t think much about it. The next day, Cheng Yixiao took me out of the palace. Cheng Yixiao said he had something serious to do and asked me to stay in the carriage.

I nodded and lifted the curtain of the carriage. There was a sugar-coated gourd string outside. I had never eaten it when I was a child. Others said that the gourd string was sweet and sour.

Cheng Yixiao moved quickly and soon came back. I quickly pulled down the curtain. Cheng Yixiao put a curtain hat on my head and forbade me to take it off. I touched the soft white gauze, which was the best material.

I didn’t say anything extra in the car. It’s not easy to get out of the palace once, and I don’t know when the next time will be. Cheng Yixiao saw that I was clever and allowed me to follow him down when I stopped the carriage. I listened and laughed secretly, and I don’t know if he saw it through the curtain hat.

I followed Cheng Yixiao out of the carriage with small steps. I didn’t know where it was. I walked with my head down. Cheng Yixiao stopped, I also stopped, I saw a blue figure in front of me, I wanted to secretly pull open the white gauze to have a look.

“Don’t look.”

Cheng Yixiao patted me on the head wearing a curtain hat, and I quickly lowered my head.

After Cheng Yixiao turned around, it was boring. The curtain and hat were covered tightly, and I bumped into each other like a blind bear. Because of the curtain hat in the way, as if like a fog, and this place is crowded, plus Cheng Yixiao step big, also do not wait for me, sometimes I can follow lost, and dare not walk around, waiting for Cheng Yixiao’s attendant to call me.

Cheng Yi-hsiao gave a slightly irritable “tut,” saying that I was in trouble. I could hear the cries of the sellers, the cries of the children, and the sugar blowers, all mixed together. I don’t know if it was because I was outside or something else, so I gently pulled Cheng Yixiao’s cuff. I could not see Cheng Yixiao’s expression, but he did not push me away, so I pulled all the way, sometimes Cheng Yixiao also slightly slow pace, I can hear.

I remembered that at this time last year, I was still crowded with the inferior palace people, and now I dare to touch the tiger’s beard.

After walking for a while, Cheng Yixiao threw me a Ruyi bag, which I shook and filled with a lot of silver. Cheng Yixiao said let me go to pick some like, dialed a attendant to follow me, said three quarters of an hour later will be waiting for him in the carriage. I nodded, I did not wander, took the silver directly back to the carriage, the attendant asked me what to buy, I let him rest.

Cheng Yixiao didn’t tell me what he was going to do. I only followed Cheng Yixiao for a short distance. I asked the attendant what the street was, and the attendant said that the street was the most lively, with many vendors selling things, and that the girl should play for a while.

I didn’t ask any more questions. In fact, Cheng Yixiao didn’t have to do this. I leaned on the soft pillow of the carriage with a little boredom, thinking that night Cheng Yixiao asked me if I wanted to go out of the palace.

In fact, what Cheng Yixiao gave me is enough for me to live for several lifetimes.

Cheng Yixiao took me out of the palace, but also allowed me to pull his cuff, gave me an idea, I know I think so some absurd, perhaps I read too much book.

Cheng Yixiao got into the carriage and asked me what I bought. I shook my head and said I didn’t buy anything. Cheng Yixiao frowned and asked me if I didn’t like it. I shook my head and said I did. Cheng Yixiao didn’t ask me why I didn’t buy it, so I went back to the palace. I lay on the couch, my heart was in a mess, and I couldn’t figure it out. I pulled out the dagger hidden in my clothes and rubbed it gently, feeling that I was going to fall. I don’t know much about love between

men and women.

He is good to me, but he is also very bad to me. I can’t tell him clearly, but he is really the person who has been good to me except Lan Lan for more than ten years.

Cheng Yixiao still hugged me to sleep as usual.

“Still want to kill the orphan?”

I heard him clearly, but I pretended to be asleep and didn’t answer him. After a while, the moonlight outside the window faded, and I whispered, “I don’t know.”

Cheng Yi-hsiao gave a faint “hmm” and did not respond to me again.

I feel that I am sick and have a heart disease.

I am lazy these days, even eat very little, Cheng Yixiao did not pay much attention to me, he in front of the prince, naturally there are a lot of things to do. Grandfather Zhang asked me if the food in the dining room was not delicious, and I said I wanted to eat ice-sugar gourds string. Grandfather Zhang was in trouble and said he couldn’t leave the palace either. I lay on the couch without thinking, swinging one leg, wanting to smell the fragrance of Cheng Yixiao.

Cheng Yixiao came to me at night these days and asked me why I didn’t eat. I frowned at the smell of his blood and said I was sick. Cheng Yixiao knew that I was joking with him, so he didn’t say any more and fell asleep with me in his arms.

I rubbed the tip of the knife on the cuff, and a bead of blood oozed out carelessly. I pulled my arm out of Cheng Yixiao’s arms and dropped the bead of blood that was about to drip from my finger on the tip of Cheng Yixiao’s nose.

Cheng Yixiao brought me ice-sugar gourds string from outside the palace, and father-in-law Zhang had told Cheng Yixiao that I didn’t eat. I took ice-sugar gourds the string and told Cheng Yixiao that I didn’t want to eat it. Cheng Yixiao was a little annoyed and felt that I was fooling around, so he pulled down the string of sugar-coated haws in my hand and threw it to the ground. There were sugar stains on the blanket. I looked at the bright red ice-sugar gourds and grabbed Cheng Yi-hsiao by the cuff. “Why is the prince so nice to the maidservant?” I asked.

Cheng Yixiao frowned slightly, pursed her lips and shook off my hand.

Cheng Yixiao was too attentive to me. I said I wanted to eat sugar-coated haws. I didn’t think Cheng Yixiao could bring it back for me.

After careful calculation, Cheng Yixiao is not bad to me. I can’t bear to kill him. The sound of cicadas in

summer gave me a headache. Grandfather Zhang was afraid of disturbing Cheng Yixiao, so he asked several palace people to stick cicadas with poles. I lay on the couch and watched them stick cicadas through the window, mentioning a few words from time to time. After looking at it for a while, I felt stuffy in my heart, so I went to find Cheng Yixiao. Cheng Yixiao was in the study, which was quiet and no one was there.

I walked to Cheng Yixiao’s desk. Cheng Yixiao took a nap with his right hand. I saw the playing book in a mess and quietly picked it up. Cheng Yixiao wouldn’t let the palace people into his study. I sneaked in. The midday sun was particularly bright, hitting Cheng Yixiao’s face and casting a shadow. I approached Cheng Yixiao, looked at his straight nose, slowly stretched out his hand, from the cuff exposed the tip of the knife.

“Why are you crying? Don’t cry.”

Cheng Yixiao suddenly opened his mouth, raised his eyelids lazily, and reached out to rub my head. I looked at Cheng Yixiao’s feminine and gorgeous face, only to realize that my tears were on his face and slowly flowed into his skirt. The dagger in

my hand fell to the ground with a bang, and a cold light flashed across my face. The face of the knife reflected my face, and my eyes were filled with tears. I suddenly lay on the ground and silently shed tears. Cheng Yi-hsiao stretched out his legs and leaned against the bookcase, bored and watching me cry. When I had cried enough, I got up from the ground and asked him, “Why is the prince so kind to the maidservant?”

Cheng Yixiao still did not return to me, but pulled me into his arms and told me not to cry in the future. After

that day, Cheng Yixiao gave me a position, Fengyi, which was the lowest position. But I also became another new master of the East Palace besides Prince Cheng Yixiao.

I threw the dagger, and Cheng Yixiao asked someone to pick it up for me and let me keep it. I locked the dagger in a little box full of jewels, and at that time I thought I would never need it again in my life. The

palace people were all respectful to me. I climbed from the inferior palace maid to the prince’s bed. Perhaps some palace maids thought I had the means, and some were not afraid of death and even asked me how to please the prince. I made a cup of boiling tea and handed it to the maid. “Have a sip of tea.”

The maid looked at me in horror and said she would never dare again. After she left, I touched the outer wall of the teacup and was so hot that I withdrew my hand.

With this maid of honor to make an example of the monkey, those maids of honor who had moved their minds were restrained. The rules of the

East Palace are very big, and Mammy came to teach me etiquette, saying that my words were too indulgent and unworthy of status. I heard a sneer, it is simply a bitch wearing the clothes of a superior person, but also feel like a dog, I am laughing at myself. Father-in-law

Zhang knew that I befriended Lan Lan, so he transferred Lan Lan to my side to serve me. Lan Lan said that I have changed a lot since I became Fengyi.

I shook my fan and asked Lan Lan how many years she had been in the palace. Lan Lan said she had been in the palace for three years, and I said I had been in the palace for three years.

I asked Lan Lan want to go out of the palace, Lan Lan thought for a while, said want to go out of the palace, want parents. I laughed and told Lan Lan that I also wanted to go out of the palace, but I had no parents, so I might as well stay in the palace comfortably and be served by someone around me. Lan Lan said that accompanying a gentleman is like accompanying a tiger, and it is better to leave the palace.

I shook my head and said that someone in the palace was in pain. Why should I leave the palace. Lan Lan no longer talk to me, feel that I can not compete, I shake the cool breeze, think of this time in the past, I and Lan Lan are in the East Palace raccoon clothes.

Lan Lan and I were separated from each other, saying that it was not good for me to be Fengyi. I gave the silver magpie bead flower to Lan Lan, and Lan Lan received my reward with a red face.

In fact, if you stay in the palace for a long time, everyone’s heart will change.

I also changed, want to let Cheng Yixiao spoil me more, but do I like him? It should be more or less thoughtful. His kindness to me is more like a trophy for me.

I stood beside Cheng Yixiao and made tea for him. Cheng Yixiao raised his eyebrows and asked me how I was as a master. I replied with a smile and said it was very comfortable. Cheng Yi-hsiao said, “Do you still want to kill Gu?”

I looked into Cheng’s amorous eyes and said, “Never again.”

In fact, Cheng Yixiao did not need to ask me, that day he already knew what I should answer.

Cheng Yixiao gave me a hook and said he would teach me to write.

I stood in front of the book case, Cheng Yixiao stuck behind me, I held the small wolf brush, he held my hand.

Cheng Yi-hsiao exhaled in my ear, “Write the word for loneliness.”

Cheng Yixiao took my hand and wrote his word Zhiwei on the rice paper one stroke at a time.

“Read it out.”

“Know the small things.”

“Know the small things.”

“Know the small things.”

I repeated his words three times and accidentally knocked over the inkstone, scattering ink all over the floor.

Cheng Yi-hsiao asked me to hold the little wolf’s pen and write his words on rice paper. With a trembling wrist, I wrote down the word “Zhiwei.”. The cry was smashed. The bright moon on the treetops was sharp. At the beginning of July, the crescent moon was curved, and there was the sound of insects outside the window.

Cheng Yixiao spoiled me even more, and all the silks and satins were sent to my temple. Grandfather Zhang bowed and bowed in front of me, saying the auspicious words of Wan An. I didn’t give the satin to Lan Lan. I don’t want to give others a piece of Cheng Yixiao’s kindness to me. I’m narrow-minded.

Cheng Yi-hsiao gave me a string of silver bells to hang on my feet. The silver bells were exquisitely carved, and the word “Yaoyao” was also engraved on them. But I don’t want to wear, I pulled a few times can’t pull down, then stare to let Cheng Yi Xiao quickly get down for me.

Cheng Yixiao can stir up a wisp of my hair, just ignore me. I got angry and turned away from him. Cheng Yi-hsiao had never called me “Yaoyao.” Even when she was whispering, she just called me “Ning Yaoyao.”.

Cheng Yixiao is more busy, listen to Zhang Gonggong said, the prince was impeached. Cheng Yixiao never told me anything about the court. I don’t think he can trust me. Not only me, but all the people in the palace can’t trust him. It was a general

who impeached Cheng Yixiao. I don’t know his name, but he said that the prince was tyrannical by nature and feared chaos in the world. He wanted the emperor to abolish the prince. The general is a respectable figure, Lan Lan said he won several battles, somehow with the prince had a quarrel. I didn’t ask carefully, and it was useless for me to hear the name of the man beside me.

Three autumn cassia, unconsciously, I have been master for more than two months. It’s good to be a master. Someone serves you tea and water. Unlike when I was a palace man before, the only thing that made me feel a little uncomfortable was Lan Lan.

In the palace for a long time, see more, the mind is more.

Lanlan always stumbled in when Cheng Yixiao came to see me, and panicked to say that he had no intention of colliding with me. Once or twice, I could still believe it, but it was too much to justify.

I feel cold, I will Lan Lan as a bosom friend, what words also said with her, but let her move should not have the mind. I said a few words about Lan Lan. I knew she was timid, and I didn’t think she would go against me.

Cheng Yixiao is not wood, ask me that little maid of honor how to return a responsibility. I crossed my legs, the silver bell made a clear sound, and replied, who knows. Cheng Yixiao looked at me playfully and grabbed my small ankle.

Lan Lan began intentionally or unintentionally to ask me about Cheng Yixiao’s preferences, I did not hide from her, all told her. I also told Lan Lan that Cheng Yixiao likes to torture people, especially on the bed.

Lan Lan listened to blush, perhaps she did not realize, I do not know what she thought. Lan Lan is the first one who is good to me after entering the palace. I don’t want to be estranged from her. After

Cheng Yixiao, there will always be a side imperial concubine and a crown princess. I will not be the only female master in the East Palace.

Lan Lan was a little rash. She broke in when I was intimate with Cheng Yixiao. Holding the sweet osmanthus oil in her hand, she said in a daze that she had come to give me the hair oil. I ignored her and just hugged Cheng Yixiao’s neck. Cheng Yixiao sank her eyes and told her to get out. Lan ran out in a panic, and the sweet-scented osmanthus oil spilled all over the floor. I told Lan Lan that Cheng Yixiao would come today, but Lan Lan still couldn’t calm down. I sometimes wonder what kind of relationship I have with Lan Lan.

I don’t want to hurt her, but I don’t want to see her seduce Cheng Yixiao. I began to be uncertain. Lan Lan was not a maid of honor. I regarded her as my own sister. Lan Lan saved my life, to be a man, or to be grateful.

I asked Lan Lan to serve tea to Cheng Yixiao, always looking for an excuse to leave, leaving them alone in a room. I went to the yard to swing alone, and a little maid pushed me, saying that sister Lan was too ungrateful. I glared at her, and the little maid panicked and knelt on the ground begging me for forgiveness.

In fact, as long as you can breathe, even if you are a eunuch, who doesn’t want to be a superior person.

I let the little maid go and sat on the swing alone, looking at the osmanthus tree in the yard. It was planted by Cheng Yixiao. Grandfather Zhang asked someone to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus and said he would make sweet-scented osmanthus cake for me. I like sweet food. It was a little cold

outside, so I wrapped my coat tightly and wanted to go in and put on some clothes. I entered the temple and ran out in a hurry.

I saw Lan Lan smiling and peeling walnuts for Cheng Yixiao, and I regretted it.

I thought I was the only one who got into Cheng Yixiao’s eyes, but I was careless. This is the East Palace.

When I took my clothes and ran out of the temple, Cheng Yixiao saw me. He glanced at me and said nothing.

In fact, I have selfishness, I thought Cheng Yixiao will not pay attention to her, perhaps the man is so, not to mention he is the crown prince, the future harem beauty three thousand. Cheng Yixiao hugged me

at night and told me to shake the bell. I said I was tired and didn’t want to move, but Cheng Yixiao didn’t say anything.

I think I’m wrong. I’m way off. Maybe the day Cheng Yixiao took me out of the palace, I shouldn’t have pulled his sleeve. Cheng Yixiao gave me the idea, I thought along the idea, but did not want him to be the person who compiled the book, I was a spectator.

I began not to talk with Lan Lan, Lan Lan Xu is happy, no matter what I think, but also asked me about Cheng Yixiao’s preferences. I said something, lowered my eyes, and said that’s all I know. While peeling the almonds,

Lan Lan told me that the wind was so strong today. I held Lan Lan’s hand, looked at her dark eyes, asked you really think so, Lan Lan eyes dodge, asked me what I mean to say this.

I told Lan Lan that Cheng Yixiao loves almonds.

But in fact, Cheng Yixiao doesn’t like almonds. I like some.

That afternoon, I found an excuse to pull away, Lan Lan carrying a small dish of almonds, smiling at Cheng Yixiao.

A little maid of honor jumped up to me and said she wanted to weave a garland for me. She was only eleven or twelve, which reminded me of the year when I first entered the palace and refused to bow my head. Smiling, I touched her head and asked her how many years she had been in the palace. Before

the little maid returned to me, there was a sound of things breaking in the hall. The little maid of honor shrank, and I took her hand and said, “Don’t be afraid.”. The little maid smiled at me innocently and said that Fengyi was really a good person.

I’m not a good person.

I led the little maid of honor into the hall and saw Lan Lan kneeling on the ground, with blood spilling from her eyebrows, falling “tick-tock” and hitting the ground.

“Ning Yaoyao, is Gu spoiling you too much?”

I stepped forward and dived nimbly into Cheng Yi-hsiao’s arms, exhaling like an orchid: “Your Royal Highness, calm down.”

Cheng Yixiao knows Lan Lan saved my life, did not want her life, just let her get out of the palace, and then not allowed to enter the palace. When Lan Lan left, she cried and said to me that she was sorry. I gave Lan Lan a pearl and let her be well outside the palace. Grandfather

Zhang knew that Lan Lan had gone, and he also knew that I had done it, and he praised me for my good means. I looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus in the yard and said that I didn’t mean that.

Lan Lan sent the almond, sent himself to Cheng Yixiao’s arms, this is what I did not expect. I want Lan Lan to send almonds, Cheng Yixiao also know that I love to eat almonds, perhaps can change their minds.

But father-in-law Zhang didn’t believe me. He narrowed his long and narrow eyes and said that I was so cruel that I could even save my life. But when I said it, I laughed and said that my heart was cruel.

I knew Lan Lan had such a mind, but I still let her do it. I’m sorry for Lan Lan, and Lan Lan is sorry for me. We’re even. Cheng Yixiao told me to be quiet and not to stuff people around him. I shook the silver bell on my foot and said I was afraid of offending people. Cheng Yixiao didn’t believe me. He said I was bad and he was a bird of a feather.

I asked Cheng Yi-hsiao, “Is the prince a bad person?”

Cheng Yi-hsiao pinched my nose. “Yes, worse than you.”

I laughed out loud. “That concubine and the prince are really a beauty and a geek.” The

old emperor’s body was getting weaker and weaker, and the people in the hospital said that he could not live for more than five years even if he hung ginseng every day. This is irreverent, is the doctor said to Cheng Yixiao, Cheng Yixiao holding a cup of wine in his hand, low eyes said to use the best medicine. The ministers in the

court went to the Prince’s Palace more frequently, and Cheng Yixiao was busy with family and national affairs every day, so he didn’t come to see me.

I saw Xu’s son again. I

told the palace people that I was bored in the palace and asked them to move the imperial concubine’s couch to the pavilion. As I scattered pearls on the ground, I asked the palace people to pick them up. I learned to be bad and followed Cheng Yixiao to learn to be bad. In my

bones, I am the same person as Cheng Yixiao, the same dirty. The undercurrent in the court is surging, and the East Palace is not peaceful. I use some small tricks, which are not on the table. Cheng Yixiao turned a blind eye and sometimes praised me for my cleverness.

I asked Cheng Yixiao why he kept me in the first place. Cheng Yixiao said that I was somewhat like him, but I was still a little beggar at the root of the city. I asked him with a smile, “Has the prince ever suffered?”

Rarely, Cheng Yi-hsiao gave an indifferent “hmm.” I knew I had asked something I shouldn’t have asked. After that, I couldn’t help thinking about what happened to him when he was a child. He was your Highness. How could he suffer losses? Who was not good to him.

Cheng Yixiao said this to me very little, but occasionally told me that when he was a child, he was bullied by palace people. When he first saw me, he pitied me. I asked him why he was so bad to me at that time. Cheng Yixiao sneered. There were so many kind-hearted people in the world. He replied to me like this. I asked Cheng Yi-hsiao,

“Why did the prince leave me behind?”

Cheng Yixiao said to tease me to relieve his boredom. Later, I asked Grandfather Zhang. Grandfather Zhang grabbed me and said that when the prince was a child, his mother went early. The power of his mother’s family made the emperor afraid. He looked like a serious prince outside. In private, even the palace people in the palace were a minority. The palace was often short of gold and silver. In addition, he was a prince. Some people could not sit still and used some means to make Cheng Yixiao suffer. Grand

father Zhang also told me that it was a common thing to be punished to kneel every other day, but Cheng Yixiao’s mother’s family was aloof and looked down on the emperor’s suspicious temperament, and even the little prince did not like it. The little prince was suffering, suffering at both ends, no one loved him, no one loved him. Are Cheng Yixiao and

I in the same boat? When he looks at me, will he have a feeling of sympathy?

Xu’s son walked far away from me, and I half covered my face with my sleeve and looked at him secretly.

You are really a young man like jade.

I asked the maid if his name was Xu Ye, and the maid blushed and nodded, saying yes. I nodded. If I had been in the palace for a few years, I might have blushed at such a person.

The emperor gave most of the memorials to Cheng Yixiao for approval. He stayed in his study every day and came to see me less and less. I want Cheng Yi-hsiao to come to see me, to see his eyes, and to hear him call me “Ning Yaoyao.”.

I began to learn how to cook in the kitchen. I pinched a bunny steamed bun, which was so small that it was gone in one bite. I carried the plate to Cheng Yixiao’s study, but it was still quiet, and there was no one in the corridor.

I didn’t dare to go into the study. I didn’t have enough weight in his heart. I didn’t dare to go in at will.

I waited outside. The wind was so strong that the little rabbit was not warm steamed bun. The heat was blown away. But I still wait, wait for the hand to begin to tremble, Cheng Yixiao also does not come out. The sun was about to set, and my hands were red with cold. I wanted to go back, but I waited again. The door of

Cheng Yixiao’s study finally opened. I couldn’t hold back a hiccup. Cheng Yixiao smiled.

When Cheng Yixiao asked me what I was doing, I shook my hand and handed the plate to him. “The little rabbit is cold,” I said pitifully.

Cheng Yixiao twisted the ice crystals from my hair and asked me how long I had waited. I said that the rabbit was still alive and kicking when I first came. Cheng Yixiao smiled again, and then he picked up the cold rabbit and ate it carefully. My heart is like pouring honey, asking Cheng Yixiao if the rabbit I pinched is delicious. Cheng Yixiao patted me on the head and said it tasted bad. After

that, I changed the way to send food to Cheng Yixiao’s study, and waited for a day. Cheng Yixiao saw that my dimples were red with cold and asked me not to wait. I nodded and said yes, but I still came the next day. I

had a hard time when I was a child. I think Cheng Yixiao is feeling sorry for me. After another year

in the palace, if I could be spoiled all the time, I would be happy to endure it. Because the emperor was ill, the Lunar New Year’s Eve in the palace was not as lively as in previous years. When Cheng Yixiao returned to the East Palace very late, I cooked sobering soup for Cheng Yixiao, snuggled in his arms, and asked him if he was going to be the emperor. Cheng Yixiao did not frown at me, but told me not to say such a thing.

I’m so bold that I’m not afraid. “Can I be the queen of the prince?”

Cheng Yixiao said to me with a smile, “The queen cannot be you.”

I encircled Cheng Yixiao’s neck and asked why. Cheng Yixiao pinched my nose and said I was greedy too much.

I didn’t expect to be a queen. I just asked Cheng Yixiao to give me a place to live after he ascended the throne. But after I asked Cheng Yixiao, I was a little flustered. I tossed and turned at night and couldn’t sleep. I carefully outlined Cheng Yixiao’s words in the palm of my hand. I

don’t know if this is the meaning of Cheng Yixiao’s words.

I became oversensitive. Sometimes I pestered Cheng Yixiao and asked him gently in his ear whether he loved me or not, but Cheng Yixiao never answered me. Recently, there was a lot of rumors in

the court. Grandfather Zhang said that several small countries in the frontier were in chaos. Grandfather Zhang said that the general who had impeached the prince went to the frontier to suppress it, but there was a mutiny in Liangzhou.

Liangzhou place is big, grain depot is full, the force is strong. No one in the court is willing to touch this bad luck, Liangzhou Secretariat is the son of an Guogong. An Guogong had a bad temper, because his ancestors followed Taizu through life and death to conquer the world, and he was also tyrannical in the palace.

I heard Grandfather Zhang say that the emperor had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, but he had been enduring the affection of his ancestors. The emperor was getting weaker these days, and the frontier was in chaos. The battle-tested general went to the frontier. An Guogong thought that all the people who could fight in the court were dead, so he asked his son to take the lead in making trouble. There were not many soldiers

left in the capital, and most of them were scattered in various States. General put down the frontier turmoil brought most of the soldiers, leaving only eighty thousand to the court, Liangzhou Secretariat of nearly three hundred thousand soldiers.

I encircled Cheng Yixiao’s waist and asked him if he was going to Liangzhou. Cheng Yixiao asked me if I couldn’t bear to part with him. I nodded and said I was flustered and asked Cheng Yixiao not to go. Cheng Yixiao clapped my hand and said that someone coveted the throne and should be killed. I scratched Cheng Yixiao’s hand and asked him if he could take me

with him. Cheng Yixiao allowed me to call myself “I.”.

Cheng Yi-hsiao pulled my hand away and said, “Be good at the East Palace and wait for Gu to come back.”

I know Cheng Yixiao is one of the most powerful, but I am still flustered, flustered badly, I always feel that something big is going to happen.

The emperor really let Cheng Yixiao led troops to Liangzhou, tomorrow will start.

I stood in front of the gate of the East Palace and looked at Cheng Yixiao, fresh clothes and angry horses.

I shouted at Cheng Yixiao from a distance, “Your Highness, I’ll wait for you to come back!”

The silver saddle shines on the white horse, like a meteor.

Cheng Yixiao looked back and raised his hand to me.

My heart jerked and I hurried back to the palace. The maid told me that the dining room had prepared syrup of plum and let me drink a few mouthfuls to stimulate my appetite. I lay down on the couch and drank syrup of plum, and suddenly I choked and vomited all of it. The maid was so frightened that she hurried to call the imperial physician.

Cheng Yixiao walked for nearly half an hour, and my heart was even more flustered. I called Grandfather Zhang and asked him to pull a horse out. Grandfather Zhang moved slowly and refused to give me the reins. I pulled the reins and jumped on the horse. I wanted to chase Cheng Yixiao. Grandfather

Chang shouted “Feng Yi” after me, but I refused to listen. My heart is beating so hard that I need to see Cheng Yixiao with my own eyes. I had asked Grandfather Zhang to prepare this horse, because I was always in a panic these days. Grandfather

Zhang refused to listen to me at first. I threatened Grandfather Zhang, saying that if he refused to listen, I would tell the prince that he had broken the prince’s sword spike and secretly hid it. Grandfather Zhang quickly knelt down to me and prepared a horse for me. The

wind whistled in my ears, and I held the reins a little unsteadily. My horsemanship was taught by Cheng Yixiao. That day at the racecourse, I sat on a horse. Cheng Yixiao sat behind me and asked me if I could ride a horse. I said no.

“Teach you alone.”

I played crazily in the racecourse for a day and told Cheng Yixiao to bring me next time, but before the next time, Cheng Yixiao will go to Liangzhou. I only rode once, and I don’t know where I got the courage to get on the horse in such a muddle. If there was an accident, my neck would be broken, but I was not afraid of death.

At this time, Cheng Yixiao’s army should be out of the capital, I was anxious to ride on the horse, afraid of not catching up with Cheng Yixiao’s army.

I rode for a long time. It began to snow, but I didn’t dare to stop.

Or my own legs and feet faster, I saw not far away is Cheng Yixiao’s army, I patted the horse’s buttocks, let it run faster. Someone in Cheng Yi-hsiao’s army saw me and asked me in a loud voice. I held up in my hand the jade pendant Cheng Yi-hsiao had given me. “I want to see the prince.”

I sat in the carriage, wearing a fox fur coat and drinking hot tea. Cheng Yixiao looked gloomy and did not speak to me. I opened my mouth first and said, “Your Highness, don’t send me back.”

“Nonsense.”

Cheng Yi-hsiao’s voice was cold, and I carefully tugged at his cuff: “Your Royal Highness will allow me to fool around this time, and I won’t dare to do it again.”

Cheng Yixiao still didn’t let anyone send me back. I said a lot of good things about Cheng Yixiao. I also said I was flustered and wanted to see him. Cheng Yixiao’s face softened a little and said, “Let me be good and don’t make trouble for him.”. I thought I was going to grind Cheng Yixiao for a long time, but I didn’t expect him to promise me so soon. Maybe Cheng Yixiao thought that I, a little girl, would not cause any big trouble. He didn’t take me seriously.

I followed Cheng Yixiao’s army stationed, Cheng Yixiao said that the army is not like the East Palace, everything is up to me, let me endure some. I hugged Cheng Yixiao and said I was used to suffering.

In fact, the food in the army is not bad, much better than when I was a beggar. Many soldiers did not like me, but because of Cheng Yixiao’s face, they did not dare to say it directly, so they scolded me behind my back. My ears were sharp, and I heard it. They are all rough people, and they scold badly, but I am not a charming lady, and I will not be angry and cry. I didn’t tell Cheng Yixiao that the war at the front was tight, and I was afraid that he would be distracted by me. Sometimes

I wonder at night if I shouldn’t follow Cheng Yixiao, but I can’t go back even if I follow her. I don’t know why I was so bold at that time.

I had a lot of dreams in the army, and sometimes I was scared to wake up. I dreamed that Cheng Yixiao had lost, lost completely, and was gouged out of his heart. I made a lot of noise and woke Cheng Yixiao up. Cheng Yixiao asked me what was wrong. I shook my head and said it was all right.

Are you afraid? Let someone take you back to the palace.

“Don’t be afraid.”

I shook my head, said I want to accompany him, want to see him on horseback, Cheng Yixiao mercilessly kissed me, said yes.

Cheng Yixiao won in the end. On the day he came back, he sat on his horse and pulled the reins. It was a black horse with a shiny mane and a tail sweeping back and forth. The horse moved a few steps, Cheng Yixiao straightened his body, separated by two miles, and looked down at me.

“Back to the palace.”

He said two words to me that he did not know, which was a great comfort to me. I am very sober, if Cheng Yixiao lost his life, I will have no way out, he is my only dependence in the palace. I think maybe I’m not afraid of his death, I’m afraid of my death. The days

in the East Palace were the same as usual, but one thing was different. The wind in the palace was getting louder and louder, saying that the emperor was going to die. In the spring of

another year, I spent two years with Cheng Yixiao in the East Palace. The birds in the

palace were frightened, and the emperor died.

Cheng Yixiao ascended the throne, I can’t go to see, I can only wait in the harem, he gave me a title, also gave me a concubine, said to protect my life’s glory, is a reward for me to accompany him these two years. After hearing this, I felt bitter in my heart. How many true feelings did he have for me? Maybe we were both playing. Whoever falls into it is the one whose heart has been gouged out.

Cheng Yi-hsiao was very busy these days, but he still came to see me in the evening. I leaned over his shoulder, and he kissed me sideways. After a pause, he said to me, “The minister says it’s time for the draft.”

I was stunned and looked at Cheng Yixiao, only to find that he was looking at me and frowning slightly.

“The affairs of the state are important. The emperor doesn’t have to worry about me.”

I don’t know what he heard, but he frowned again. “You weren’t like this in the East Palace before.”

I was really not like this in the East Palace before. At that time, I relied on him to spoil me, and I was very narrow-minded. Sometimes when I saw him slightly interested in a palace maid, I would be jealous, because I knew that there would be no second hostess in the East Palace at that time. It’s different now

. He’s no longer the prince, and I’m not Fengyi of the East Palace. What thing, also is not I act like a spoiled child to be able to do, even if I resisted this time, also will have the woman who will enter the harem continuously. I know very well that Cheng Yixiao doesn’t love me, but just takes a high look at me. There were three newlyweds in

the harem. They were all ladies from a good family, and they were different from me. They looked down on me, and I naturally didn’t provoke them. In terms of means, they couldn’t play with me. They were just pretending to be polite, but they were at peace. Cheng Yixiao is still the best to me, three palaces and six courtyards, he came to me the most, sometimes he went elsewhere, I will be lonely, but I have no way.

Slowly, my feelings for Cheng Yixiao are different. I used to like him more or less, but at that time I didn’t forget how he hurt me. I just tried my best to get what I wanted. There are more women in the harem, and Cheng Yixiao’s heart is also to be separated. I am afraid that he will stay here less. I have learned the way to survive in the palace for two years, and I like him a lot less.

Cheng Yixiao was busy as an emperor. I could only cook porridge to see him. I looked at him in a trance. If he had never been a prince or an emperor, I would never have been a beggar or an empress.

We are both ordinary people, and he has never seen so many human feelings when he was a child. Will we have a child. I was in the East Palace for a while, half a year before I became Fengyi, and I liked him very much. He taught me how to read, how to write, and how to do all the things I could not expect when I was a child. I am grateful to him. Without him, I am still in the mud today.

I never gave him my heart, and neither did he.

Cheng Yixiao stayed with me. I took out the sweet osmanthus wine we made together in the East Palace. He looked at me. I pulled Cheng Yixiao to the small bridge in the courtyard. The moon was curved, and even the birds perched on the trees were sleeping peacefully. The two of

us did not speak, but sat side by side on the bridge, drinking osmanthus wine.

I suddenly spoke and asked him as usual, “Does the emperor like me?”

I don’t know if it was because he had been drinking, but he didn’t shake his head and say no. Cheng Yi-hsiao looked at me with a clear expression.

I smiled and said to him, “I like the emperor, too.”

Cheng Yi-hsiao was stunned. He touched my face. “You don’t have to do that. I won’t let them bully you.”

My heart is astringent, and my eyes are red. Cheng Yixiao, what do you want me to do?

“Don’t cry, don’t cry.”

Cheng Yixiao took me in her arms and patted me on the head.

The moon was silent, and the birds perched on the trees showed their heads. Cheng Yixiao told me a lot

that night. It was the first time he told me about his childhood in person. He said that he saw me and had his previous shadow. He also said that at first, he just teased me, but I am very smart, I can know what he thinks, I am very measured. He finally said that my kindness to him, whether it was flattering or not, was rare in the palace.

I know why he said so, because of his temperament, the palace people are afraid of him, hate him, think he should die. But I got along with him for two years, after I became Fengyi, he did not hurt me once, as long as I want, he can give me. For this reason alone, others can say that he is not good, but I can’t. When

Cheng Yixiao was six years old, he often asked his personal maid why his father did not come to see him. The maid felt that he was not favored, and she also suffered hardships. She had a cold face.

At that time Cheng Yixiao is also small, he felt that he asked should not ask, made others angry, then took some silver reward to the maid. But after that, he was often short of gold and silver in the palace, and the palace people felt that he was easy to bully, so they all took things from his palace, and naturally no one cared about the prince who was not favored.

But at that time Cheng Yixiao was only young, not ignorant, then he knew that some things, not good to others can be exchanged.

Cheng Yixiao is often bullied by other princes, some princes are very spoiled, let Cheng Yixiao lie on the ground, to ride him as a horse, then the palace people are laughing, no one to help him. Some people speak very badly, a little better to say that he is a disaster star, the death of the birth mother but also harm others, so that everyone can not live in peace. He had long been accustomed to the harsh words of others.

Cheng Yixiao’s food was not even as good as that of the other princes. Sometimes when the palace people forgot him, he would starve for a whole day. No one loved him and no one loved him. He could only keep a few small cakes for a rainy day. He is a prince, but he is so down and out. When

Cheng Yixiao was twelve years old, she looked very handsome. She was also top-notch among the princes. She was also first-class in riding and shooting. Some of the concubines could not hold their breath and did it. The emperor loves to listen to the sound of water, the lake is not allowed to freeze in winter, there are palace people in charge of ice.

Cheng Yixiao’s jade pendant was missing. It was one of his few good things. He asked someone to help him look for it. A palace man was quick to point to the shining jade pendant in the water, but he didn’t go into the water. Cheng Yixiao had no choice. He was used to this kind of thing, so he had to go into the water to look for it himself. When he went ashore again, he was held down by his head and drowned in the water. He struggled desperately, as if he was not alone.

Later, the emperor happened to pass by, and those people stopped with a guilty conscience, and Cheng Yixiao was rescued. But those people were not punished, just said to play, the emperor looked at Cheng Yixiao lightly, as if to blame him for not being sensible.

Cheng Yixiao’s eyes were red and he called his father, saying that someone had harmed him. But the emperor only stopped him and told him to put his mind on the right path. Cheng Yixiao looked at his father in amazement. He finally lowered his head and said nothing more because no one believed him. In the end, it came down to a child’s joke, and nothing was done. After walking through the gate of death, he never trusted anyone in the palace again.

That night I just know Cheng Yixiao these things, he did not say to me, I did not ask again, it is always a thorn in his heart, I have some pity for him, if there is no that year, he can also like Xu Ye, become all the daughters of the spring boudoir dream person, he may not be the prince of the East Palace, he became gentle, we are no longer afraid of him. The palace people also respect him.

He used to be a very good man, but he was ruined by others.

I love him dearly.

Cheng Yixiao told me that he was very bad to me before, but he would be good to me. I nodded, and he was already very good to me. At least, he has me in his heart.

He has been living very lonely, until I came, he did not completely open his heart to me, but he saw me very special, let me know that I am different from others, I was very dirty when I was a child, Cheng Yixiao let me know the taste of being valued by others, the two of us, is snuggling to keep warm.

I got closer and closer to Cheng Yixiao. He made a swing for me, saying that he would make up for the one in the East Palace before. I sat on it, and he pushed me gently behind me. He would deliberately push me very high. When I panicked, he suddenly hugged me and laughed in my ear. I don’t know if my face would be very red at that time.

Cheng Yixiao is sometimes tired of dealing with state affairs, so he puts his head in my arms. I gently press his head for him. That’s what I learned specially. Maybe it can make him feel better. Cheng Yixiao has a bad temper, which I know, he still scolds the palace people, scolds the minister, but he is a good emperor, he values his people, some places suffered natural disasters, he will go in person.

But I also know, others say his words are very bad, I sometimes hear all kinds of punishment such a palace, I dare not let him know, but I think, he should also know.

I told Cheng Yixiao that you can’t kill people casually. It’s a human life. He just pinched my face and said I was nosy, but after that, his temper really restrained a lot, and there was little blood in the palace. I think about it carefully, I accompany Cheng Yixiao these years, he has not done much.

I also taught Cheng Yixiao to make a rabbit steamed bun. He learned very slowly and carefully for fear of breaking it. I thought he would refuse me, but he promised me, and I promised him that I would eat it all when it was ready. I nodded and said with a smile, “Your Majesty, take your time to learn. You can’t learn my craft in three or five years.”

Cheng Yi-hsiao hugged me and said softly, “Yaoyao, stay with me for a few more years.”

His words made me nervous for no reason. When I asked him what was wrong, he said to me, “I just want to live with you like this for the rest of my life.”

I seem to have lost my heart, and so does he. It was my birthday

in a few days. Cheng Yixiao held a grand ceremony for me. I asked him if he could give me a big gift. He said he could give me everything. I said I wanted to be a queen. He was stupefied, as if he had not thought of it. He just smiled faintly at me. What was he laughing at? The people in the

palace said that the emperor had been on the throne for almost half a year and had not yet been established. I don’t know why Cheng Yixiao was, but the ministers in the court quarreled so much that they all said it was against the rules. I just feel sad, Cheng Yixiao suffered a lot when he was a child, even the emperor can not make his own decisions, what is fair in the world? God in the end is how to think, poor people, can only live like this for a lifetime?

The maid of honor said to me, I should try my best, the emperor dotes on me most, I should be the queen most. She also said that the emperor and the queen were a match of dragons and phoenixes. I listened to a move in the heart, Cheng Yixiao smile, in the end thought of what? Cheng Yixiao and

I spent a year safely in the palace. He was getting better and better to me, and there were more and more new people in the palace. I knew there was no way to do this, but Cheng Yixiao was afraid that I would be jealous.

In the harem, I spent most of the month here. I couldn’t scold him. Some of the concubines were daughters of dignitaries in the court. Even Cheng Yixiao couldn’t help marrying them. Besides, he had just ascended the throne, and his reputation was so bad that his foundation was unstable.

I always vomit acid water in recent days, Cheng Yixiao thought I was hot, added a lot of ice to my temple, but also let the kitchen change the pattern to cook side dishes, hoping that I can eat a few more.

I was confused. The doctor who took the pulse of peace said that I was happy. I twisted my eyebrows and asked him why he didn’t say it earlier. He said that he couldn’t be sure earlier. It was true.

I was dizzy with joy and quickly sent someone to tell Cheng Yixiao, but the person who came back said that Cheng Yixiao was not in a big mood, but just said “um” and even frowned. I feel like I’ve been poured cold water from head to toe. We have children. Doesn’t he like it?

Cheng Yi-hsiao came to my hall tonight. I closed the door and didn’t let him in. He said to me at the door, “Yaoyao, open the door.”

I ignored him in a fit of pique, he said again, I still ignored, I listened quietly, Cheng Yixiao sighed, he went back to the bedroom. I was so angry that I broke a box of jewelry he gave me. He didn’t even tell me why he didn’t like it.

In the next few nights, Cheng Yixiao came to me, but I didn’t say anything. He stuffed a small note under the door for me to see. I was a little moved. I didn’t expect Cheng Yixiao to squat down and stuff a note into the palace of a concubine.

I looked at it, and I thought it was not bad, Cheng Yixiao was afraid that my child could not be born, even if it was born, I did not know whether it could be raised. If there is an accident, he is afraid that I will feel uncomfortable.

When Cheng Yixiao came back, I opened the door. He came in and hugged me and said, “Yaoyao, why don’t you let me see how you are?”

I told him that mother and child were doing well, and he took my hand and said, “My daughter is fine, and she likes it, too.”

I told him I was not afraid, and he said he would protect me and our children.

Just when I thought we could live like this for the rest of our lives, the palace changed in an instant.

Cheng Yixiao’s mother’s family forced her to abdicate, which no one expected.

It was a gentle moonlight night. Cheng Yixiao was pushing me to swing. It was reasonable to say that I couldn’t do this when I was pregnant. What if there was an accident? But I wanted to swing. Cheng Yixiao took me to play without telling the doctor. I was very happy. The two of us were thinking about the baby’s name, and I asked him, “What’s a good name?”

Cheng Yixiao reads a lot, and her name is better than mine.

“As you wish, the child you bear.”

I paused and said I couldn’t think of a good name. Cheng Yixiao smiled and said he didn’t care. He just wanted to get a title. Just as I was racking my brains, many soldiers suddenly rushed in, and Cheng Yixiao quickly grabbed the swing and protected me in front of me.

I glanced out, outside the palace guards fell to the ground, I do not know what happened, the soldiers suddenly moved to Cheng Yixiao, I was stunned, there is an idea in my heart, I dare not think, can see Cheng Yixiao took my hand and said to me to go, I will know, I and Cheng Yixiao, There is no safe life anymore.

Cheng Yixiao carries the sword, wipes out the sword, I am on tenterhooks, I do not want him to have the matter.

I think of Cheng Yixiao said to me, let me spend more time with him, he knew it would be like this, why not tell me? I don’t have time to think. No one to inform, no guards, I did not expect Cheng Yixiao so unpopular, even the guards also mutinied.

Cheng Yixiao has cultivated a group of trusted followers, who can also be said to be dead. Cheng Yi-hsiao asked a group of people to escort me out. I shook my head and stubbornly took his hand. “We’re together.”

I just took his hand and looked straight at him. He shook his head helplessly. “Then I’ll go with you.”

He may have long thought of such a day, I do not know what happened in the court, but I know that he was very busy for a while, too busy to come to see me, I know, only the collusion of the court, I do not know the details.

The dead man protected Cheng Yixiao. Cheng Yixiao protected me. We rushed out of the tight encirclement. He took me to the secret passage. He was prepared for the worst. We went through the secret passage, and I don’t know how long we walked, but we went out of the secret passage. The end of the

secret passage led directly to the street market, but it was also heavily guarded. There were dead soldiers waiting in advance at the exit of the secret passage, leading the horses they had prepared. Cheng Yixiao turned over and mounted his horse, and pulled me up. I remembered a long time ago that I wanted to ride a horse. He said to me, “I teach you alone.”

At that time, we had no children, there was no turmoil, he was still the prince, I was still the East Palace Fengyi.

We rode from the path, watching from a distance, the gate has long been locked, I looked back at Cheng Yixiao, unconsciously, tears in my eyes.

“Don’t be afraid.”

He comforted me softly, and in my eyes, it was like the last time he was gentle with me. The terrain of the

capital was very complicated. Fortunately, Cheng Yixiao had prepared for it. He had explored the terrain and picked a place where there were few troops. Along the way, he saw a lot of red, and some of the dead soldiers were missing. With my eyes closed, I don’t know if we can live. When I

got to the city gate, just when I thought there was no way out, there was a commotion at the gate, but the gate slowly opened. I looked back at Cheng Yixiao. He covered my eyes with one hand. His horse stopped running, but slowly moved forward. I seemed to understand something in my heart. I grabbed Cheng Yixiao’s hand and sobbed, “Don’t go!” Don’t go! Please!

Cheng Yixiao did not listen to me this time, let my nails on his hands cut red marks, my tears dropped on his hands, eyes wet.

The gate was opened on purpose, and I guessed that there must be archers on the wall.

Cheng Yi-hsiao put his arm around my waist, and I gently asked him, “Why didn’t you come with me earlier?”

“You don’t want that.” That’s what

he told me. I don’t want that. I know he doesn’t want that. It’s not that I haven’t thought about the forced abdication, but it’s all my random thoughts. I never thought it would really happen. The court’s affairs are far more complicated than I thought.

Cheng Yixiao is able to take me away, the two of us may be so desperate, to avoid wanted, so busy tired of running, I am not a happy life, he is not, but we do not want that.

That night we talked about our childhood memories and opened our hearts. In the following year, I lived the most contented year. He gave me a lot of unexpected things, perhaps mixed with his true heart, but who knows whether it is true or false. There are always a lot of variables on the road to

escape, let Cheng Yixiao’s ability, he is not sure, we all know in our hearts, that is not to hide for a lifetime, rather than live in fear, I and he, also have a past in the palace, is the warmth I can not ask for in my life. Cheng Yixiao and I are very similar, we are greedy for the last bit of tenderness, but also took their lives in exchange for a year of stable life. The posture of

forced abdication is like a dense net, which makes us have no way to follow and no way to escape.

Cheng Yixiao lost the hearts of the people, but I do not understand, he is a good emperor to the people, but we do not know. All the bad news about him before has taken root in the hearts of millions of people. Perhaps people in the future will mention him again and just say lightly, “Cheng Yi-hsiao, a traitor and a thief.” No one will remember

his good, all people just seize his past mistakes, no one has ever seen his change, he is getting better, he is restraining his temper, trying to be a good emperor, good to the people, good to the country, but everyone can not wait, only single-minded that he is still the tyrannical prince of the East Palace, unrepentant.

No one waited for him, give him time, his achievements were drowned in a scolding, I shouted his good, no one cared about me, so look down, I and he, is not a miserable Mandarin duck.

Cheng Yixiao is good to me, I always remember in my heart, let tens of millions of people have hundreds of reasons to say his mistakes, I can not say a word of his bad.

Cheng Yixiao held my hand steadily, and I sat on the same horse with him, moving forward slowly. The city gate is wide open, and there is a thoroughfare ahead.

Cheng Yixiao drove the horse, the horse ran fast, the wind blew the pearls on my head, he did not cover my eyes, I still can not stop tears, I always feel that I and he, this should not be like this. But there are so many unfair things in the world that I can’t take them seriously.

In this way, I heard the sound on the wall, Cheng Yixiao whispered to me, saying that it was his mother’s family. I felt a chill in my heart. What did he think in his heart? I don’t understand the taste of being calculated by my own family. I have no relatives.

I was just about to turn my head to look at him when I heard several “whoosh” sounds.

“Puff!” Was the sound of a sharp arrow tearing through flesh and blood. Cheng Yi snorted, but he still held me tightly. He hugged me tightly and said with difficulty, “Don’t be afraid.”

My tears could not stop flowing down, and at this time, he still wanted to protect me, comfort me, afraid that I was afraid.

I nodded fiercely. “I’m not afraid. I’m not afraid. Your Highness will protect me.”

I wanted to turn around and ask him if it hurt. He squeezed my hand and said in a dumb voice, “Don’t look back. Don’t look at me.”

I broke down in tears.

“You remember, Yaoyao, the only time I’ve been a good person in my life is to you.”

This was the last thing Cheng Yixiao said to me. He was shot with four or five arrows. I just sped up my horse. I didn’t dare to stop. But I am very sober, I know we have no way out, this is not a dilemma, but has become a foregone conclusion, but I do not want to lose. I

don’t know how long I ran, but the sound of the arrows behind me was lighter, and we were the only two left on the whole road, with the bodies of the fallen dead behind us. Cheng Yixiao’s body is still warm, but I can’t seem to hear his panting.

I clasped his hand, the other hand clenched the reins, and there was a flash of light in front of me, a cold light reflected from the armor. Tears welled up in

my eyes, and I asked, “Cheng Yi-hsiao, do you love me?”

No one responded to me, and I really realized that no one in the world loved me anymore. I

tore my heart out and cried out, as if I had poured out my suffering for more than ten years. In front of the cold light approaching, I and his children, and I, no one can survive.

This is a dead end. Does

Cheng Yixiao love me? Do I really love him? I still do not know, there are too many things mixed in it, but I only know that, from beginning to end, we are in mutual redemption.

If there is an afterlife, we don’t want to be a superior person, just an ordinary family, we get married seriously, and then have a child, our child is also very cute, very smart, I teach you to be a rabbit steamed bun, you teach him slowly, OK?
