"Anyway, you have to be careful. It's not easy to walk at night," I said casually.
Yu Ya's expression turned serious, and then she smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, I have the emperor holding the lantern for me now. Everything will be fine."
"Yeah." Since she already has her own plan in mind, I'm not going to say anything. However, the emperor's protective umbrella will not hold up for a woman forever. What's more, I now know that person is Brother Sima.
.Even when his beautiful sister, Danya, who is so beautiful that it makes me drool, is in front of him every day, he is not moved at all, let alone these women——
"By the way, sister," she suddenly smiled mischievously, "yesterday the emperor had a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and our Wang Jieyu accidentally farted in front of the emperor. It was really smelly and loud. You don't know the emperor's
Her face was so stinky that it was so stretched that it turned blue. Even though the concubines present tried their best to endure it, they still couldn't help but laugh out loud. The scene was noisy and very funny. Wang Jieyu's face was so red that she almost bled.
Here we are." She smiled faintly when she saw me, and then said, "Sister, I don't know how sorry I am that you are not here."
I looked at her helplessly and said, "You are acting weird again." Alas, it's all my fault that I taught her too much to be funny when she was a child, and now she still plays tricks like a child. However, I know that she is venting her anger on me. Last week, I heard that
I was seriously ill again, and that Wang Dieyi actually brought a group of people to Jiunianxuan to watch my jokes. However, as long as she didn't behave particularly excessively, I could definitely tolerate that kind of childish arrogance.
.Those harsh words are no longer painful to me.
In the Xie Mansion, I was used to hearing insults from Wu Niang and her little brother, so I just thought there was another Wu Niang here, a stepmother-type figure...
Yu Ya, who was laughing at the side, suddenly said seriously when she heard what I said: "You can bully me, but no one can bully my sister."
I was a little touched, but I still said calmly: "Sister, I don't mind. Besides, I never take it lightly when I bully my sister."
She returned to her little girl's naughtiness, looked at me and laughed: "That's the trick my sister taught me back then, but she has never used it here. Yaya knows that she doesn't care at all."
I was stunned for a moment, I don’t care, yes, I don’t care. Then I remembered the various methods I used to teach Yu Ya to act, which were simply a practical version of the Thirty-Six Strategies of Women’s Struggle. Let’s look at the healthy growth of a girl, and then a woman.
Yu Ya couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"Yaya, don't stand up for your sister in the future. It's not worth what Yaya does."
"Sister never knows how important sister is to Yaya..." She murmured with a look of sadness on her face.
"What did you say?" She said so quietly that I didn't pay attention for a moment.
"It's okay, it's okay." She regained her demeanor, as if what I just saw was just an illusion.
She leaned her head on my knees affectionately, like a girl with her mother, and whispered softly: "Sister wants Yaya not to stand up for you, then sister must promise Yaya to take good care of herself."
I nodded, regardless of whether she could see it or not. I gently fiddled with the long hair scattered around her forehead, and said gently: "That's natural. Yaya, don't force yourself too much."
The starry sky is full of stars, and the night is approaching the "Miwu".
A ghostly white figure suddenly appeared on the top of the high wall. Like a ghost, it flew past the high wall in an instant and arrived at the only window with weak light in the house.
"Come in." A muffled voice came from the room. Li Jiu's voice was always low, giving people the illusion that he had been ill.
"How did you know it was me?" I climbed in from the window and showed up depressedly.
He pursed his lips and said, "Besides you, who else has the habit of climbing walls late at night?"
I'm speechless.
I sat down in front of him unceremoniously. Did he know that I would come to see him if he was still up so late?
As if he had read through my thoughts, he took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I am waiting for you. However, I am not a divination person, so naturally I didn't know you would come today."
I was surprised, "Do you think you've been waiting so late every day for a month?"
Seeing him nodding calmly, I was speechless again. This kid is really energetic because he stays up late at night every day. When did my night owl habit get to him, and his condition is still so serious!
I knew that I lost my composure in front of the emperor that day, and he must be very curious. And I came late at night, naturally because I was afraid of another chance encounter. I couldn't bear it at that time. If I vomited blood and died, that would be the end of a generation of beauties.
——
I'm still haunted by what happened when I fell off the wall not long ago.
I took the tea he poured me, took a big sip without ceremony, and then said, "You didn't tell the emperor who I was, did you?"
He shook his head. I have told him many times not to mention my name to anyone, just say that I am an ordinary palace maid. The original intention of doing this is naturally not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Seeing him looking casual and waiting for me to continue, I couldn't help but laugh. I'm not a mysterious person, so why should I be like this?
"I said my name is Xie Weiying. Then have you heard that among the recent show girls, there is a fourth young lady of the Xie family. She is suffering from a serious disease and has been bedridden for many years. She has been locked up and sent to a house.
In a sparsely populated other courtyard." No wonder he felt familiar when he heard her say her name was Xie Weiying for the first time, but he just didn't associate this unseemly woman with the sickly fourth lady.
Seeing his slightly shocked and dazed expression, I couldn't help but smile triumphantly, "Yes, I am the unpopular fourth lady of the Xie family, a woman abandoned by the emperor."
"Speaking of which," I smiled evilly, "we are really similar. One is an abandoned concubine whom the emperor despises, and the other is an arrogant and talented man who is ridiculed by the world. We are really destined." Regardless of his gradually turning pale.
.
After a long time, he came back to his senses and laughed at himself, "I thought, I thought -" I thought you were just a special palace maid, thought you were a smart and witty strange woman, thought you could always be your confidant.
I couldn't hear clearly, so I stepped forward curiously, opened my eyes wide and asked, "What do you think you are?"
"No, it's nothing." He waved his hands in embarrassment and avoided looking at my approaching face. His face turned red unceremoniously.
It’s so fun. When I come here, I meet so many innocent men who can blush.
I got straight to the point: "I don't want to be a real imperial woman. I don't want to get involved in harem disputes. In short, I am not interested in competing for favors. I just want to spend the rest of my life here peacefully. This is what I think."
"I know that he did this not only because he was curious about why I lost my temper, but also wanted to know if I had any purpose and a conspiracy to get close to him. I can understand that he is eager to protect the Lord. Brother Sima is indeed a person worthy of others doing anything for him.
Although some history books say that he was a worthless and useless emperor who only relied on the strength of the Wang family to get where he is today, I know that is not true. He is actually not who everyone sees him.
When I entered the palace, I heard the elders describe to me the emperor in his eyes. He was addicted to women and had a timid temperament. He rarely decided anything on his own and always followed the wishes of his ministers. He rarely did anything. I almost thought that too.
That's it. Because of the records in the damn history books, I have never had any thoughts about this Emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, the Sima Langxie who was with me is completely different from what anyone said. I believe that Brother Sima is nothing.
People who don’t understand. I know that he is so noble, cold, and naturally majestic. He is the real him.
After chatting with Li Jiu for a long time, I felt tired and couldn't bear to look at the two surprisingly obvious dark circles under his eyes because he was waiting for me. Therefore, he and I agreed to continue the long conversation when the emperor would not show up.
Then he left.
Along the way, the words he said when I left were in my mind: Weiying, I have never met a special woman like you.
It was almost early in the morning when I came back from the house. When I got back to the house, I was about to take off my clothes and go to bed. Suddenly, a short arrow whistled through the window and penetrated my ear. It was stuck on the screen. I was used to it.
I walked over and took it off, muttering about how this damn eunuch always made people tremble with fear. I was really worried that one day he would lose his hand and my ears would be gone too.
It wasn't until one night that the old eunuch Gao Lu suddenly appeared in my house. I was so scared that I almost didn't call for help. It wasn't until I read the letter he brought to my parents that I realized that it had happened more than ten years ago.
, he was a chess piece that everyone brought to the palace, and supported him all the way to the position of chief internal affairs officer, making him a popular person around the emperor and gaining the emperor's trust.
I know the handwriting of the patriarch. When I entered the palace, he also told me that someone would come to contact me, but I didn't expect it was him, the famous chief steward. Many women in the harem were fawning over him. I didn't expect that he was the patriarch.
He is a person, and he is absolutely devoted. I don’t know what kind of favors everyone has given him. The letter from the parents also said that the senior manager is a person who can definitely be trusted.
I suddenly remembered the strange look on his face when I pretended to be sick before the election. He was so cunning and cunning, and my poor acting skills must have caught him by then. But he still pretended to be so calm.
Just like the real thing.
Later I asked him about this matter. He just lowered his head and said respectfully: "Master told the old slave before the young master entered the palace, asking the old slave to cooperate with the young master in all his actions and obey the young master's orders in everything. So then
The old slaves all pretended not to know."
I sneered and said: "You clearly know that the old man asked me to enter the palace just to be favored and to assist my aunt in getting the position of queen. You obviously know that I did that in order to not be favored. Even so, won't you stop me?"
His face remained unchanged, and he still said respectfully: "Master said, what the young master said to do, the old slave will do it. The young master naturally has the young master's plan." What an old fox, I thought bitterly.
From then on, every month, the old eunuch would suddenly send me a letter when I was completely unprepared. Maybe it was mixed with the little reward he sent me. I guess it was Gao Lu who took advantage of his position to secretly send me a letter.
For me, sometimes like tonight, it suddenly appears in my room.
I opened the letter, and there were only a few words on it. They just reminded me plainly that my illness was almost healed and it was time to take action. Don't forget my mission to enter the palace and the agreement I made with him before entering the palace. Hum,
I know he is warning me not to be smart! It is not bad to have a servant of such a high official by my side, but everything has pros and cons. He is respectful to me because we are the patriarch, and at the same time, he is also the patriarch of the family.
He is a chess piece, monitoring me. I guess everyone knows from his mouth that I don’t want to make progress and have nothing to do.
I burned the letter and smiled coldly. Do you want to spy on me? Humph! No one can stop me from what I want to do, let alone my most annoying threat!
Competing for favor?! It seems that I want to pay a visit to my aunt who has not been seen since I was not favored. The woman who was favored because of her sister in legend.
