The night is thick and the whole land is rendered with splashes of ink. Qincheng, the capital of Daxia Dynasty, is at this time the lights are on, the traffic is busy, the Huajie Liquor Street is full of people, and it is very lively.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the East City, among the high-ranking officials' courtyards in the North City, the Runan Palace is brightly lit but very quiet. One of the small courtyards has broken walls, mottled shadows, and slender vines winding up the wall.
But it can't stop the dilapidation of this yard.
There is a row of independent houses in the yard. They have bluestone tiles and mud walls, peeling red pillars, and some tilted beams, making the whole row of houses crumbling. The candlelight in the house is swaying, and a figure is swaying on the wall.
In the candlelight, under the orchid window, a woman stood leaning against the window. She looked out the window at the thick night with a pair of water-cut pupils, her eyes were distant and deep, and the silhouette of the candlelight danced in the dark pupils, blurring and swaying.
The insignificant man is independent, who is alone under the starlight.
Looking up at the sky, there are stars twinkling in the small space. At this time of summer, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are shining brightly on both sides of the Milky Way, but they never come together. Occasionally, a shooting star will streak across, fleeting, just like those beautiful things in the past.
.
Sure enough, after ten days here, she still hasn't forgotten what happened before! She clearly said she didn't care. Perhaps she was a little tired, and the corners of the woman's eyes were sour and moist.
That's it, what's past is past, let's make peace with what has come. What she wants is not to feel sorry for herself here.
The woman pursed her lips, smiled towards the sky, put aside those complicated thoughts, shook her head, and suddenly felt much more relaxed.
"Miss, the wind has picked up, go back."
A little maid stood behind the woman in the room and put a simple cloak on her.
"Bi'er is so considerate. But you've been away all day today. Where did you go?" The woman brushed the broken hair on her forehead, smiled, looked up at the maid, and said she was fine, and then asked casually.
"I didn't go anywhere. I just followed the lady's instructions to get familiar with the situation in the palace." Bi'er smiled, but her eyes flickered and her smile was a little unnatural.
"Bier, tell the truth!" The woman shouted in a deep voice and looked into Bi'er's twinkling eyes, which showed an irresistible command.
Bi'er was startled and suddenly became nervous. She put her hands on her chest and rubbed them, and stammered: "Miss, there's actually nothing wrong. Today... I went to the laundry room to help out... But...
Don’t worry, miss! They didn’t ask me to do anything!”
Bi'er pretended to smile casually, but this smile made it clear that there was no three hundred taels of silver here. The woman frowned, there was no longer a smile in her eyes, and she glanced at Bi'er's hands with cold eyes.
The hands are red and slightly swollen.
"Is it okay? It's okay, why are your hands like this?" The woman rushed up, grabbed Bi'er's hand, picked it up and took a look, and couldn't help but take a deep breath. Bi'er's originally white and tender little hands were now
It was covered with small scars, and the whole hand was red, and the small blood vessels on the epidermis could be seen.
The woman's face suddenly darkened, with a hint of an approaching storm: "They asked you to go to the laundry room again!"
The woman looked at Bi'er with a cold tone, not asking, but affirming.
Bi'er wanted to struggle, but when she saw the woman's appearance, she knew she could no longer hide it, so she nodded. But then, she shook her head again and pulled the woman nervously.
Miss, please don't mess around!
The woman's expression only changed for a moment, and she quickly returned to normal. She took a deep breath, turned to look at her dilapidated little yard, and held Bi'er's hand.
"This is too much!" The woman's face was full of anger, and she wanted to rush out. However, after walking out of the door, she saw the two guards standing at the door of the courtyard to prevent her from going out. The woman gritted her teeth reluctantly, but
Without taking any further action, he said, "Bier, follow me and you will suffer. I have medicine here, take it and apply it on it."
The woman moved lightly, took out a small porcelain bottle from a small wooden box on the side, and handed it to Bi'er.
"Miss, it's not hard for Bi'er. Miss, you'd better take this medicine back. This is what the master asked you to bring."
This is the last bit of medicine the lady has, she can't take it away!
Bi'er had tears in her eyes. She didn't want to take the thing and was about to return it to the woman, but was stopped by the woman.
"Put it on first. Bi'er, now that I'm pregnant, I still need your help, so nothing will happen to you. You don't have to say nonsense like it's okay now. I've also done laundry work, and I know how hard it is. But.
, if someone calls you again tomorrow, you must come and inform me, we have been bullied for so long, and we cannot be bullied anymore!"
The woman clenched her fists and swore as she looked at the flickering candlelight. Bi'er looked at her young lady blankly and realized that her whole person had changed since she woke up from exhaustion and found out she was pregnant ten days ago.
.I no longer accept the situation, but sometimes a look in my face makes people dare not resist.
Is it because of the little prince in the young lady’s belly?
Bi'er looked at the slender waist of the woman in front of her. The candlelight seemed to be emitting holy light, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.
She did not expect that the young lady would be pregnant just because the prince came to her that night. Now, the child in her belly is the young prince of the Runan Palace. She must have had a good day soon.
Bi'er thought optimistically. She wanted to say something, but when she saw that the woman was a little tired, she wisely shut up, took the small porcelain bottle in her hand, and retreated.
When will the prince come to see the young lady? After all, the young lady is pregnant with the prince’s first child!
Bi'er looked forward to it and closed the door. The woman watched the door close, and the expression on her face finally calmed down. She glanced at the drafty room, pursed her lips, and lay down on the bed.
I have lived in this dilapidated courtyard for ten days in the blink of an eye!
He stretched out his hand to touch his belly. Under the candlelight, the woman's face was uncertain, but her eyes were as bright as stars in the darkness.
Baby!
The woman touched her belly and murmured, her eyes gradually becoming blurry.
She is a modern white-collar worker named Liu Miaomiao. She originally lived a peaceful and happy life, but just when she happily saved money, bought a house, and wanted to get married, she discovered that her boyfriend was having an affair with her best friend, and she was
Caught in bed. In the end, nothing happened to the couple, but she, the victim, was so angry that she couldn't breathe and died.
And when she woke up again, she became the princess of the Runan Palace, and she was still an unpopular princess. In fact, after staying here for ten days, these are no longer important. What's more important is that she is pregnant.
The child is nearly one month old.
"Princess, congratulations to the princess, this is a happy pulse."
The old doctor was an imperial doctor, and no one would doubt his medical skills, so the first thing Liu Miaomiao did when she woke up was to be stunned by the news that she was pregnant.
How could this be possible? She was just a young girl before! Now she is pregnant!
Liu Miaomiao was about to cry, but what made her even more crazy was that she was a royal concubine, but she was assigned to the laundry room. After learning that she was pregnant, they reluctantly found a dilapidated yard for her. These outsiders
Liu Miaomiao doesn't mind what the conditions are, but the key point is why there are two cold-faced guards standing outside her yard. It's good to have guards, but why don't these two guards let her step out of the yard? Why!
Because of the coldness and ruthlessness of these two guards, they became Liu Miao'er's usual targets for fun, but these were just Liu Miao'er's own entertainment! The two guards would not pay attention to her at all. If she went too far,
Only then will they take action.
All in all, Liu Miaomiao has been locked up here for ten days. She also figured out her current situation through her ability to make insinuations and pretend to be dumbfounded.
Her name is Liu Miao'er, she is the royal concubine of the Runan Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty. She was originally the jewel in the eye of a member of the capital. Because she once saved the Queen Mother and the current emperor, she was given the title of concubine to the Runan King. It was originally a great honor, but because
He was of humble origin and was not favored.
And this Liu Miao'er is cowardly by nature and always accepts everything, so she is destined to be bullied in this man-eating palace. In addition, for some unknown reason, King Runan doesn't like her very much, so
I was lucky enough to ignore it once, until now. If I hadn't gotten pregnant a few days ago, I would still be suffering from the torture of those old ladies in the laundry room.
Liu Miao'er rolled up her sleeves, looked at the whip marks on her hands that had not disappeared, and frowned.
It seems that life in this palace is not easy. Who is this King of Runan?
But judging from his attitude towards me, he must not be a good person! If I meet him, I would like to see what kind of person he is!
Liu Miaomiao was filled with resentment and thought about ways to improve the situation, but after thinking for a long time she couldn't figure out anything. She simply stopped thinking about it, shook the patched quilt, looked at her patched clothes again, turned over, and went to sleep.
.
No matter what, she had to find a way and couldn't continue to suffer here!
Not only do you think about yourself, but you also think about the child in your belly.
Liu Miao'er thought so and closed her eyes. I wonder if pregnant people are prone to drowsiness. Liu Miao'er fell asleep soon after lying down.
The candles were extinguished, the summer cicadas were chirping outside the window, and the stars were dotted. The evening breeze passed by, bringing the fragrance of locust flowers. The two guards at the door of the courtyard were still standing, as motionless as stone statues.
