Zhong Yan walked around the bedroom with a bitter face. Little Black stared at her and lay motionless in the corner of the wall.
"Xiao Hei! What do you think I should do!" Zhong Yan sat down beside Blacky. Blackie immediately stood up and looked at Zhong Yan at the same level. It stuck out its tongue to lick him, but Zhong Yan pushed its head to the side with both hands.
Ying Hua came in to help Zhong Yan make the bed and was shocked."Princess, why are you sitting on the ground? Get up quickly. The ground is cold and it's easy to hurt your body.”
Zhong Yan's face was sullen.""I was sent to the banks of the Qianming River!”
Ying Hua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She quickly walked over and held her hand, pulling her up."But you can't sit on the ground! Quick, sit on the chair. I'll make the bed.”
Zhong Yan lay on the table and looked at the clear bone china tea set. He was bored."I don't know anything. What can I do over there? It would be good enough if the rebels didn't kill him with a stick!”
Yingshu walked in as well. When she saw Chongyan like this, she poured her a glass of water."I don't know how long I'll be gone."
As a servant, she couldn't talk about her master. Yingshu forcefully said the last sentence," Why does the Empress want you to go? He swallowed it.
Zhong Yan looked at the entire bedroom. Because of the lights, it was so bright that even the roof could be seen clearly.
The glazed tiles reflected a brilliant golden light. The pure gold was plated on the pillars in the house. There were two dragons and a phoenix carved on it. The dragons were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws under the feet of a phoenix, as if they were all living things. Such a scene was very different from the modern understanding of Chongyan.
As for why this dynasty wasn't recorded in the annals of history, and why there was only one female emperor, Wu Zetian, in history, perhaps it was because no matter what happened later, the emperors in history were all men. They didn't like the women around them to have the idea of usurping the throne, so they controlled the historians and didn't let them record the Empress's deeds in the annals of history. Wu Zetian was an exception. After all, she passed the throne to a man.
The warm wind blew in through the open window, bringing with it a hint of coolness.
Ying Hua walked over and closed the window."It's almost autumn. Before you leave, prepare a few more winter clothes. Yingshu, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?”
Zhong Yan waved his hand." Don't be anxious. Mother said that she'll leave the day after tomorrow. There's still a whole day to go. We can take our time. As for the things for winter, we'd better bring less of them. If it really doesn't work, we can buy them there. It's fine as long as we have enough silver notes."”
However, Zhong Yan had forgotten one thing. That was that it was a disaster area. Even if he had silver notes, it might not be useful. There were no clothes to be sold there.
Ying Hua ignored this sentence. With the princess's identity, how could she wear those clothes that she had casually bought? Of course, she had to bring them out of the palace. She could not let others look down on her, right?
Suddenly, he heard the voice of a little palace maid from outside."Princess, Dong Yulang's men are here. They say that Dong Yulang has a request for you.”
Zhong Yan was slightly stunned. This Dong Yulang was recruited into the palace by her mother a few years ago. She heard that he was quite beautiful and was good at singing. His voice was as melodious as an oriole. Just a year ago, her mother still doted on him very much. However, not long ago, a new person came. It was said that he was a foreign tribute. His mother fell in love with him immediately and rarely went to Dong Yulang's place.
Even so, Zhong Yan was still very puzzled. She had never interacted with her mother's male pets. Occasionally, she would just greet them. This Dong Yulang was even more rare. He was also very discreet and had never heard of any competition for favor. How could he suddenly find her?
"Princess, do you want to meet or not?" Ying Hua stood at the door and looked at Zhong Yan."If you don't see me, I'll just tell her that you're already asleep."”
Zhong Yan shook her head and stood up." Let's meet him. I've never heard that he likes to cause trouble. Besides, he's just a servant. He'll be fine. What if something really happened?"”
Ying Hua nodded and opened the door for her.
Blackie immediately jumped up and went out. Chong Yan ignored her and walked out. When she arrived at the main hall, a little palace maid was standing obediently in the middle with her head lowered. Her eyes were not wandering around.
She nodded slightly. This little palace maid had been taught very well. Usually, one would be able to tell whether the master was good or not by what kind of servant he was. Zhong Yan felt that perhaps Dong Yulang's understanding of etiquette was much better than what she had heard.
Zhong Yan walked in and sat on a chair.""What is it?"
"Yue Ying greets Princess Dong Yan!”
Zhong Yan narrowed his eyes.”
This Yue Ying was said to be the younger sister of one of Yueqing's relatives. When she entered the palace, she was summoned by the Empress. However, no one knew where she went. It turned out that she was bestowed to Dong Yulang.
"Yes." Yue Ying raised her head slightly and saw that Zhong Yan was looking at her. She immediately lowered her head again.
In the Empress's harem, there were often incidents of male companions and palace maids fooling around. In order to monitor them, the Empress would always let her trusted aides and confidants place them. The male companions who were found out would have a terrible fate. Although they could not die, they would never be able to see the Empress again. This also meant that their families would never be able to rise again.
"Why did Dong Yulang call you here?”He sized up Yue Ying. This girl seemed to be a little younger than him. She was indeed very sensible. Her speech and behavior were all in line with etiquette.
Yue Ying raised her hands above her head and said,""Master asked Yue Ying to send a letter to Princess Dong Yan.”
Zhong Yan signaled Ying Hua with her eyes. Ying Hua immediately walked over and took the letter. She opened it and handed it to Zhong Yan. Zhong Yan took it and folded the letter. The handwriting on the letter was delicate, but there was a hint of a strong pen. The words were neat and tidy.
He closed the letter and put it aside.”
Yue Ying raised her head.”
Zhong Yan shut her mouth and stopped talking. Yingshu continued,"You don't need to ask about the princess's decision. Just go back.”
Yue Ying nodded hesitantly. After kowtowing, she left.
Yingshu immediately walked over and asked curiously,""What's wrong? What is it?"
"Why are you asking so many questions?!"”
"Aiyo, the princess has always been close to us.”Yingshu immediately went over and pestered Zhong Yan." Let's go back to the house first."”
Zhong Yan felt rather helpless. These two palace maids had always accompanied him and had never given them any face for a long time. Firstly, it was because they had not done anything wrong and were cautious. Secondly, it was better to have some confidants. They always looked unapproachable and many things were not easy to do.
"Actually, it's nothing." Zhong Yan looked at the flowers and plants in her small courtyard and said,"He just has a few letters from home that he wants me to send to him."”
Actually, there was something else, but Chong Yan did not want the two of them to know.
"Oh, then I understand." Yingshu muttered to herself.
It was true that not just anyone could send letters out of the harem. There was always no news from these male companions and their families for many years. Some people did not even know when they died. Their families thought that they were living well in the palace and enjoying wealth.
"Then, princess, are you going tomorrow or not?”
