At night, six palace maids suddenly walked towards Nianlu Courtyard. Luo Ya thought that they were the new palace maids of Yangxin Palace Hall, so she was overjoyed. But after asking, she found out that Reed had called her over to help clean the courtyard. At that time, Loya thought to herself, Damn, Reed, you did not finish your sentence and made me work hard for the entire afternoon!
Now that Nianlu Courtyard is almost done cleaning, you sent someone to help? F * ck!
Loya looked at the relaxed and happy palace maids in a daze and suddenly wanted to sigh. Due to the presence of so many people, Loya could only lower her head and look dejected.
Just as she was in a daze, Reed's voice came from behind her,"Lin Sheng, come with me to eat."”Hearing Reed's voice and hearing that there was finally food, Loya immediately shivered!
Although her eyes were on fire, she still did not dare to flare up at Reed. After all, he was the favorite person in front of the emperor, and she would only vent her anger on him if she did not want to live. Therefore, on the surface, Loya still tried her best to act like a little lamb, obediently following Reed to eat.
Roughly an hour later, Roya finally satiated herself as she walked along the corridor of the Dew Picking Courtyard. The treatment of a position close to the emperor was different, and the food was not bad at all. The hungry Roya swept the entire table of dishes by herself. In modern times, what kind of treatment was it for a person to eat five dishes at a time? Moreover, she was only a palace maid now.
From this, he thought of the emperor's meals, which were all Manchu Han Imperial Feast.
Looking at the current Niandu Courtyard under the night sky, it was completely far from the old appearance seen during the day. Not to mention that there were more people working, it was more efficient. The clean courtyard was no longer covered in thick dust, but the newly added leaves added a bit of poetry to the courtyard.
Other than the master bedroom that she was staying in, the other small rooms were all closed. There was no longer the bleakness that was half-open when Roya first stepped into the Nianlu Courtyard. It was unknown when the murky water in the pond had been replaced. Now, under the moonlight, Loya felt that the water in the pond was bright and clear. It was really suitable for raising fish or something. The fragrant soil in the yard made Roya suddenly think of planting flowers and vegetables in the future.
Just as Luo Ya was lost in her thoughts, a slightly high-pitched female voice interrupted her,"Oh, the Emperor treats a palace maid like this. It makes me so jealous."”
Roya was shocked by the voice, but she did not dare to show it too obviously. She looked up and saw a woman in a light green muslin dress and a light white dress. A gorgeous jade belt accentuated her slender waist, which made Luo Ya think of the graceful waist of the Chu Palace.
Her beautiful hibiscus face chuckled and slowly spat out a few words from her mouth,"Seeing the master, why aren't you kneeling?"”
Only then did Luo Ya react. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to the person who came." I didn't know that Beauty Lin was here. I didn't welcome you. Please punish me."”Although she said these words politely, Roya still did not think much of it.
The person who came was Consort Zhen's younger sister, Lin Yuan, Beauty Lin. From her words, it turned out that she was jealous at the Nianlu Courtyard. Thinking of this, Luoya could not help but feel wronged. Sister, even if you're jealous, you should find the right person.
Who would have thought that Beauty Lin would actually take Roya's words seriously? Since you're asking for punishment, I won't be polite.”When the palace maid behind her heard her master's words, she could not help but look at Roya with disdain. Her face was full of mocking smiles.
She looked at the delicate and pretty Roya and felt indignant in her heart. With her looks, it was only natural for her to be doted on by the Emperor in the harem. In addition, her relationship with the Lin family was on top of that. However, the person in front of him was just a maid who could be called delicate and pretty. She was also the daughter of a guilty minister. Why did the Emperor take such special care of her? Ever since Emperor Chongxi ascended the throne, there had never been a palace maid in Yangxin Palace Hall. Her sudden appearance made everyone in the palace extremely suspicious.
Luo Ya's heart trembled. She was just a lowly palace maid now. If she really killed her because she was unhappy…When the Emperor heard about it, it would only be 'caused by ChenQie's carelessness'. Luo Ya knelt on the bluestone ground and couldn't help but shiver.
Beauty Lin didn't speak immediately. Instead, she lifted the corner of her skirt and squatted down. Her delicate hand pinched Luo Ya's chin, as if she wanted to take a closer look at Luo Ya's appearance.
"Why? Do you know me?" Beauty Lin's delicate and sharp voice rang out again. Luo Ya did not dare to look her in the eye and only replied in a low voice," This servant was originally a palace maid of Empress Zhuang's Anxi Palace. I have seen the beauty's appearance at previous banquets.”Although she was secretly flattering him, Beauty Lin could still hear it and smiled like a flower.
Just as Luo Ya thought that she might be fine, Beauty Lin said," I thought that the Emperor had hidden some treasure in this Dew Picking Courtyard. She's just a beautiful palace maid. How can I, Lin Yuan, be convinced?"”The smile on her face deepened." Weren't you asking for punishment just now? Now, I order you to kneel here for six hours and not stand up.”
What?
Roya felt indignant. If you want to punish someone, don't be so harsh. Kneeling for six hours, you hope that my legs are crippled and I can't accompany the king, right? A lot of words, then why don't you just ruin my face? Wouldn't it be simpler this way? (A certain Ya: At worst, I'll change my appearance after I'm disfigured, hehe.))
"What's wrong? You don't look very willing.”Beauty Lin had already stood up.
Loya calmed herself down and replied in the gentlest voice,"Thank you for your punishment, Beauty. I will always remember your generosity."”After saying that, Roya even bowed to her and placed her hands flat on her forehead. She then knelt down on the bluestone ground. F * ck, what kind of world is this? You have to thank someone for being punished for no reason!
Perhaps because she had had enough of her revenge, Beauty Lin gave a satisfied and mocking smile and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and said to Roya,"Don't even think about slacking off. I'll order people to keep an eye on you." Aiya, looking at the sky, it was probably going to rain.”
Loya shuddered again. This guy was really vicious.
Finally, Beauty Lin proudly left the Dew Picking Courtyard. However, her palace maid stayed behind and was currently sitting leisurely on a red stool not far away. Loya spat in her heart and thought viciously, Why didn't he just eat melon seeds and die!
Loya, who had been kneeling for a while, felt her knees ache. She looked up and saw a bright moon. There was a tall and ancient banyan tree in Nianlu Courtyard. At this moment, Luoya was kneeling under this banyan tree. Looking at the dense branches and leaves, Loya could not help but feel a little dizzy.
He looked at the palace maid who was monitoring him. She would occasionally glance in his direction, looking completely energetic! It was already night time. Loya buried her head and thought, Why aren't you sleepy?
She really couldn't take it anymore. Her knees were in so much pain that she almost thought that her legs weren't hers anymore. She struggled to prop herself up with her hands, trying to shift her knees one by one to take a break. However, as soon as she lifted her left knee up, the pain immediately spread, causing Roya to shiver all over her body. Her hair also stood up slightly...
Counting with his fingers, it had been almost an hour. According to the ancient time system, if an hour had passed, then there were still two hours left! Heavens, if he knelt for six hours, his knees would really be crippled. In such a dangerous and difficult moment, Loya did not forget to imagine how the ancient people said," If you don't promise me, I'll kneel forever." The person who said this must have had a lot of courage.
Sure enough, not long after, Beauty Lin's jinx was right. The heavens couldn't bear to see such a cruel punishment and cried. Uh, it was raining.
It was still summer, so the rain came very quickly. The bean-sized raindrops fell on her body like pebbles, but she still did not dare to get up. It wasn't that he was afraid of Beauty Lin, but that Consort Zhen from the Great Yin. Beauty Lin came to the Niandu Courtyard today to investigate, but it was Consort Zhen's idea. He was still grounded and couldn't come, so he had to find someone to replace him.
The palace maid who was monitoring her had hidden in the corridor because of the rain. Only then did Roya sit on the ground dejectedly. It was probably because of the heavy rain that she could not see clearly for a while. Sigh, this rain came at the right time.
Just as Roya was secretly rubbing her knees, a bright yellow figure swept across the corridor. Her savior had arrived! This was the first time that Luo Ya treated Nangong Hao, the black-bellied Emperor, as her savior. Regardless of whether he really wanted to kill her, he did not want to see the person she had appointed be humiliated like this, right? many words
Hence, Roya was ready to go. She no longer slacked off. Instead, she knelt in the heavy rain, giving off the aura of a chaste woman.
