What was that? Did I hear wrongly? It's actually us?
Jinxi jumped up happily and took the golden mandarin ducks. The golden mandarin ducks had lingering eyes and their necks were intertwined. They were carved vividly. Jinxi smiled and gave them to me. "In the future, they will be the witness of our friendship!" Don't lose it!"
I smiled and agreed!
Just like that, I unknowingly played with her for an entire day and forgot the time. When I returned home, Ama and the others were waiting for me in my room with serious expressions! Xiao Lian was kneeling on the ground. It looked like she wasn't punished, but it didn't seem like she had been kneeling or crying for long! Looks like I've implicated her. Xiao Lian, I'm sorry!
I also quickly knelt down and did not even dare to raise my head. I was ready to listen to Ama's lecture! The atmosphere was unusually tense, making my heart beat faster!
Unexpectedly, A'Ma and Mother and the rest didn't say a word and just quietly left the room, leaving only me and Xiao Lian. I wanted to apologize to Xiao Lian, but my throat was choked. After we knelt for two hours, a servant respectfully came to pass the message,"Young miss, master is asking you to get up!”With that, he left!
I quickly helped Xiao Lian up. Xiao Lian could no longer stand up. I helped her sit down and wiped her tears. I comforted her,"Xiao Lian, I'm sorry, I've harmed you!”When I was young, no matter what mistakes I made, no matter how my mother scolded me, my father would always protect me and play with me crazily! I've only played for half a day, but Ama is so angry! I had to remind myself that this was the Qing Dynasty. In an era where people would lose their heads easily, Ama had to be more strict! It wasn't the first time Eccentric had said,"Feudal ethics eat people!”She couldn't help but burst into tears!
Perhaps she was frightened by my crying, but at this moment, Xiao Lian came to comfort me."Miss, it's okay! Xiao Lian is fine, Xiao Lian doesn't blame you! Actually, when Xiao Lian entered the room, she accidentally saw Miss adding white powder to the tea. Miss kept persuading me to drink it. Since it was Miss's request, I knew that Miss had her reasons. After drinking that cup of ginseng tea, I fainted and slept for so long. Only then did I know that there was a coma drug in that cup of ginseng tea. In order to let miss go out and play, I could only beat her at her own game! Fortunately, Old Master only punished me by kneeling. He didn't hit me or scold me! It's just that her tears fell. Miss doesn't need to feel guilty. In the future, when Miss enters the palace, she won't have the chance to play anymore. Xiao Lian won't have the chance to work for Miss anymore!”
He didn't expect Xiao Lian to be so understanding at such a young age. I hugged her." Good Xiao Lian, I won't make any more mistakes in the future. I won't let our Xiao Lian suffer. In the future, when I enter the palace, you have to take good care of yourself!”
"Xiao Lian grew up with Miss. Following Miss is the happiest thing for Xiao Lian!”Xiao Lian wrapped her arms around me and we hugged each other tightly!
Xiao Lian gradually fell asleep. As for me, I had to toss and turn in the palace in a few days, so I put on a cloak and came out to the courtyard to get some fresh air!
It was late at night and the cold air was chilling. I vaguely felt a back view behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Ama!
"Ama!" I called out in disbelief.
"Shh! Child, don't be too loud." There was a stone table and a few stone stools in the courtyard. It was made of white marble and was exceptionally smooth. In the center of the stone table was carved a blooming peony that would not wither in all four seasons. He sat quietly on a small stone stool nearby. I leaned over and sat down. This is the first time I've seen Ama so close, but I feel that he looks more and more like my father. He really looks too similar. I'm very familiar with that pensive look!
"I also know that you're still a thirteen-year-old kid, and it's normal for you to play! However, you are different from the children of the commoners. They don't need to enter the palace or learn any etiquette. They can play on the streets as they please. You are a beautiful woman, you want to enter the palace, Ma can only teach you a lesson appropriately, it is also for your own good, otherwise, this palace is not like this mansion, if anything happens in the mansion, Ma's mother can rely on, if the palace makes a mistake, at least lose your life, at most your whole family will be executed!”
"I don't want you to be a concubine. I only hope that you can be a female official. You can wait until you are 25 years old and leave the palace. Find a good family and marry!" The scheming and infighting in the harem was not much inferior to that in the imperial court!”
What Ama said is reasonable. The palace is a place that eats people. I understand Ama's intentions. Although I have only known them for a short time, with their care and their familiar faces, I feel that I can't let my closest people get hurt. For the sake of my mother and Xiao Lian, I can only 'willingly' enter the palace!
