I walked along the path at the entrance for about ten minutes before finally seeing a relatively large courtyard not far from the entrance. I stuck my head out and went in. A man wearing the same clothes as me walked over from a small door not far away. He had put on a lot of makeup on his face. When he saw me sneaking around, he walked towards me with disdain.
" Which palace are you from? What are you doing in secret? The palace doesn't have any other directions. You can just barge in," the man said in a slender voice.
"In the palace," I thought as I slowly replied,"I'm new here and I'm lost. A tall and mighty person like you, is it the chief?”I answered carefully, adding my flattery skills.
I guessed from his behavior that he might be a eunuch because he didn't have a long beard. He spoke in a strange manner and didn't have the temperament of a man.
"I see! Fortunately, you met me. If it were anyone else, they might have already killed you as an assassin, let alone question you. At least you have good eyesight and are quite likable. Just call me Eunuch Zhang!”The man looked at me with contempt.
"Thank you for your reminder, father-in-law. I just want to know where I can get my new clothes." Because I want to know who secretly gave me such a big bead.
That father-in-law was quite enthusiastic and wanted to bring me there, so I agreed.
On the way, I carefully asked,"What place are you in charge of?" How many years have you held this position?" Afraid that he would be suspicious, I quickly continued," I can't read. I'm afraid that Master will think I'm stupid. Our family is all rough people. I'm afraid that Master will think I'm…I want to understand the situation here."
"I've been in the palace for six years. At first, I was in the imperial kitchen, then I followed Head Steward Li in the palace, and now I'm in charge of Consort De. I see that you have quite a good taste, so I might as well tell you. Oh right, you must be the new one, Xiang Guiren's slave!”He whispered, afraid that someone would hear him.
I nodded and replied with a rather worshipful gaze." You're simply a god?”
When he heard this, he smiled and said," We've been in the palace for so many years. We have to find out exactly what kind of master comes to us so as not to get into trouble. You're lucky today, kid. I'll teach you a few moves."
"Although the Emperor has only been married for a month, he rarely pampers his concubines. The new 'Noble Xiang' is the second daughter of Great General Dugu. You have to serve her carefully. Perhaps the emperor will like her the moment he sees her.”He was talking excitedly.
"The emperor just got married, why did he marry another woman? Isn't the empress angry?"”
" I can tell you're new here. You don't know anything about the current emperor." I tried to slow down and walk forward.
"On the day of the emperor's wedding, Princess Su Ji was regarded as a talent and then banished to the Cold Palace. The emperor was a man of temperament, how could he bear to let his 'childhood sweetheart' sister suffer in the cold palace? So he secretly went to see her. In the end, the imperial concubine found out about this and told the Empress Dowager. In the end, the Emperor was forbidden from entering the Cold Palace. Therefore…"
At this point, he was actually very disappointed. He sighed repeatedly, as if he had been banished to the cold palace.
"The emperor is forced to get married by the situation. I heard that Princess Su Ji is still crying in the Cold Palace. Oh, don't go there next time. If it wasn't for the Empress Dowager's permission, no one else could enter the Cold Palace. His face immediately became serious.
"Are you saying that I accidentally entered the Cold Palace just now? I almost lost my head just now…" I pretended to be afraid.
"Don't look down on this palace. The Empress Dowager's people are everywhere. Don't say or do anything wrong, understand? Otherwise, I won't be able to keep my head!" His voice became even lower.
I nodded repeatedly to express my gratitude. I must learn from you, father-in-law. I must not make any mistakes."
"Then is the emperor or the empress dowager bigger in the palace?”I probed again.
He actually reached out his hand and touched my head as if he was talking about a child who really didn't know anything! He said in surprise,"Not just the palace, everyone in the world knows that the Empress Dowager is in charge of the entire Northern Wei. The Emperor has been listening to his mother since he ascended the throne at the age of five." You don't even know this. You're really not an ordinary 'stupid'."
I pretended to be respectful. In his eyes, I must be worshipping him as a god now.
I looked surprised." So this is Northern Wei. Based on my understanding of history, this is the Sixteen Kingdoms period, which should be around 300 or 400 AD!”I was speechless.
When he saw my blank gaze, he finally said," Little fool, don't just stand there. We're already here."
I came back to my senses and bowed to him to express my gratitude."Thank you, Eunuch. I will definitely remember your great kindness. I wish that you can become the Head Chief as soon as possible.”
When he saw my strange behavior, he suddenly covered my mouth." Keep your voice down. Do you want me to die?”
I understand now. I was flattering the wrong person. I nodded, signaling him to let go of me. I understand.
He finally patted me on the shoulder and left.
I tidied up my clothes and walked into Splendid Workshop.
When I first entered this place, I saw a slightly plump woman in her forties directing five palace maids in front of her to place bundles of cloth on the shelves in front of them.
I concluded that the older one might be in charge. I lightened my footsteps and came to his side.
"Excuse me, I heard that there is a very beautiful manager sister. Is that you?”I asked sweetly.
When she heard my praise, she asked me in her busy schedule,"Why are you looking for me? Tell me quickly. I'm busy.”
"May I ask Pretty Sister, is our Xiang Guiren's dress ready?”
"I was wondering who it was. Just wait! When it's done, I'll send someone to send it over. The concubines in the palace are waiting.”she said impatiently.
I thanked him and walked out of Jinxiu Square.
The road back wasn't considered short. As I walked, I thought, Northern Wei, the Empress Dowager is in charge, the Emperor ascends to the throne at the age of five, and only gets married at the age of nineteen. I live alone in a small room, no one will disturb me…
I suddenly understood." Could I be the Princess Su Ji who grew up with the Emperor and is currently a talent in the Cold Palace?"
I was shocked by my own guess. I stood there foolishly. My feet seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
I didn't know how I got back to the house. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the candles in the house were burning. I looked at the food on the table, but I didn't have any appetite. I blew out the candle and lay on the bed.
"If I'm really Su Ji, what should I do? [Am I going to die of old age here? Before I landed here, although I was just the daughter of an ordinary person, I was still a happy young girl.] And now, she was a talent from the Cold Palace. She might not be a virgin anymore. She had been f * cked by the emperor who had been touched by tens of thousands of people. How tragic! What should I do? He had to escape. He couldn't spend his life like this!”Perhaps I was tired from walking, so I fell asleep in my wild imagination.
