Wu Tianlang had been hiding in the cabinet for two hours!
Two hours was two hours!
Moreover, Wu Tianlang had moderate claustrophobia. Even when he took the elevator, he would feel uncomfortable. Now that he could stay in this narrow wooden box, it was really a big challenge.
Perhaps it was because humans were always able to challenge the limits of the human body when their lives were at stake.
Moreover, claustrophobia was similar to acrophobia. It was more due to psychological reasons.
If it wasn't for the fact that the beauty of this Lady Guo had attracted Wu Tianlang's attention, he might have really pushed the door open and left!
Wu Tianlang watched as Lady Guo, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, slowly walked out of the room. He was just about to come out to get some fresh air.
Get some fresh air? Yes, let out some fresh air, and then go in!
Because, in a while, that devastatingly beautiful Imperial Concubine Yang would come to take a bath!
This was a rare opportunity that had existed for thousands of years. Wu Tianlang could not waste it!
While the palace maids were preparing, Wu Tianlang pushed open the cabinet door and poked his head out to take a few deep breaths.
The fragrance of Lady Guo's bath was still there. The refreshing smell of natural spices was like a brush that could stir up human hormones. Wu Tianlang's heart itched. He was at a loss for what to do and wanted to find something to vent his anger on.
"Sister Dongmei, do you still need to get some more peony petals?”A voice sounded from the door.
"Of course, we were preparing to bathe the Imperial Concubine just now. She said that she knew that Lady Guo had suddenly visited, so Imperial Concubine asked Lady Guo to bathe. We can't neglect Imperial Concubine!”At this moment, Dong Mei spoke.
When Wu Tianlang heard that someone was coming, he quickly hid inside the cabinet.
"Alright, Sister Dongmei, I didn't say I'm not going!”It was obvious that the person who said this was Xia He.
"Xia He, did you feel embarrassed when the soldiers at the door stared at you the moment you left the posthouse?" Dong Mei said with a smile.”
Xia Xue said,"Sister Dongmei, you haven't seen it. These soldiers are really too bold. No matter if they are looking blatantly, some of them are actually looking at me!" He had learned it from those bastards outside the Great Wall. Aiya, you're making my heart a mess…"
"Is that so? These guys were really bold. If they were in Chang 'an, they would be beheaded!”Dong Mei said.
Xia He accepted the mission and walked into the distance.
Dong Mei walked into the room and tested the temperature of the water in the bucket.
"Sigh, the conditions here are not as good as the conditions in Huaqing Palace, but the Imperial Consort insists on taking a bath once a day. It's really difficult for us! It was better to persevere. It would be fine when they reached Shu Prefecture!”Dong Mei muttered to herself as she tried the water.
Not long after, Qiu Ju ran over from the door in a panic."Sister Dongmei, bad news! Something happened to Xia He!"
"What is it? Something happened to Xia He? What happened?" As the most capable assistant of the Imperial Concubine, Dongmei was the one who arranged the matters of the four sisters. If anything happened, she, Dongmei, would have to take responsibility.
Qiu Ju panted and said,"Just now, Xia He went to the door of the posthouse to pick peonies, but she was teased by a few ungrateful soldiers."
"Who dares to be so bold! He actually dared to tease the people of our Imperial Concubine?”Dong Mei was very angry when she heard this." Did you whistle at Xia He again?”
"Sister, it's not as simple as whistling. They tore Xia He's clothes!”Qiu Ju said.
"Ah?" Dong Mei couldn't believe it. Was this a rebellion? This kind of thing had never happened before!
"Where is Xia He now? How did it go?" Dong Mei asked hurriedly.
"Fortunately, a young eunuch saw her and rescued her. Her clothes were torn and even her clothes were torn off. If it had been a little later, who knew what would have happened!”Qiu Ju said.
Hearing that Xia He was fine, Dong Mei also heaved a sigh of relief." Sigh, it's all my fault. I had to let Xia He go outside to pick peony petals…Sigh! It turned out to be a peaceful and prosperous world. He did not expect it to become like this all of a sudden! Qiuju, tell the sisters that if there's nothing, everyone should just hide in the posthouse!”
Qiu Ju nodded." Yes, Sister Dongmei. It's a critical period now. I don't know when we can reach Shu Prefecture!"”
" Qiuju, it's getting late, and the water is ready. Go and invite the Imperial Concubine to take a bath," Dongmei said.
Qiu Ju responded and left, while Dong Mei stood beside the wooden barrel in a daze.
Dong Mei thought of her own worries and could not help but mutter to herself,"Sigh, it's chaotic now. I wonder how my parents in Luoyang are doing! It's been three years since I entered the palace to serve the Imperial Consort, but I haven't gone home to visit yet! It was really like the sea waiting for him once he entered the palace! I wonder when I can go home…"
It turned out that this girl named Dongmei was eighteen years old this year. Her hometown was Luoyang. Her family was very poor and had several sisters. Because her parents could not support so many children and saw that this child was delicate and pretty, they had someone bring her into the palace to be a maid. In this way, her family received dozens of taels of silver.
To put it bluntly, he had sold his daughter to an intermediary.
In every dynasty, there were organizations that specialized in finding beautiful women for the royal family.
After entering the palace, because of her outstanding appearance and quick-witted mind, she was favored by Noble Consort Yang and became Noble Consort Yang's personal maid. Noble Consort Yang named her four capable maids Chun Tao, Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei. Although Dong Mei was ranked last, she was the most capable one.
Now that the war was in chaos, Dongmei heard that An Lushan's rebel army had broken through Luoyang, the eastern capital, and was burning, killing, and looting everywhere. She was very worried for her family.
Wu Tianlang, who was hiding in the cabinet, listened to the girl's sad words and looked at her melancholic eyes. He thought that this sister Dong must have been a victim of feudal society.
For a young girl like her, she should have already found someone else. Perhaps she was already married and had children. However, Dong Mei was sent by her parents to the palace to serve others.
In the palace, however, it was a different place. There was infighting and deception everywhere. If the master he followed lost his favor, he might lose his life. Even the servant girls below would be implicated.
"Dongmei, are you inside?" A voice sounded from outside the door!
It was like a yellow oriole coming out of the valley, like an orchid in the empty valley!
When Wu Tianlang heard this voice, his entire body turned limp!
This voice! There was a hint of charm in her coquettishness, and a hint of gentleness in her charm. She was gentle and gentle like the gurgling stream in the mountains, and gentle and affectionate like the clouds in the sky!
Wu Tianlang had been conquered by this voice even before he had seen her!
Could this be the prelude to Yang Guifei's appearance? This prelude was extremely similar to Wang Xifeng's appearance in 'Dream of the Red Chamber', where one could hear her voice before seeing her.
Wu Tianlang wondered what kind of person Yang Guifei was with such a pleasant voice. Now that this peerless beauty was about to appear, Wu Tianlang felt a little uneasy.
It was like a person sitting in front of a stove, waiting for a delicious dish to be served. When the pot was about to be cooked, he felt a little reluctant to part with it.
" Imperial Concubine, the water is ready. Please take a bath, Imperial Concubine," Dong Mei called out respectfully.
Thus, the door opened, and a beautiful woman walked into the room!
Wu Tianlang couldn't help but let out an " ah ". He looked at Noble Consort Yang in front of him, unable to find any words to describe her…
