"Xiao Quanzi, come here and help! Pull, hold that corner, I can't do it by myself!" I held the white curtains that had just been washed. They were huge and couldn't be done by myself. Just like those in the TV series.
The old mothers who do the laundry are two people each, holding the corners and shaking them vigorously. After shaking them flat, they can dry them.
"Coming, coming!" Xiao Quanzi responded, putting down what he was doing and running over.
After moving to the legendary Cold Palace, the first thing to do was to clean it up. Because there had been no palace staff to clean the place for a long time, a layer of dust had accumulated everywhere. The white curtains had long since changed color.
, and the original paint on every nook and corner of the pillars and eaves has begun to peel off. One by one, it looks like a mottled texture. Although it is very artistic, ordinary people like me really can't appreciate it. I may stay here for the rest of my life.
, after all, this is starting to be regarded as another odd-hour home for me. Naturally, I have to take good care of it. Otherwise, I have to live in it for three to five years. How can I survive?
What's more, after I came in, I discovered that there were many special "guests" here. They often wore yellow and smelly white clothes, their hair was messy and dirty, and their expressions were dull. They would just sit in the corridor in a daze and continue like that.
Throughout the day, this posture has often lasted for several years. Yes, they were all once favored, but they made mistakes, or were framed and framed by others, or framed and framed themselves and were discovered. In short, they were all taken advantage of by that superior person.
Men are relegated to this place where nothing matters. In fact, the most cruel thing about these women who deeply love that man is that he has already forgotten them and will never think of them again. His beloved
Men forget, no wonder they are all crazy or crazy. All they know to do every day is to wait for someone who will never appear here.
That person is the supreme emperor.
An emperor.
From the excitement on the first day when I excitedly shouted "Leng Gong, I'm here" to the current bursts of sourness and distress in my heart. These once beautiful women have suffered under the cruel passage of time and the imperial family.
, all they have left is a soulless body. I also feel that maybe I can do something here, just treat me as idle and bored, or atone for that person's sins. In short, I will take good care of him.
they.
Looking at Xiao Quanzi who was busy with me but with a smile on his face, I was indescribably happy. Before I decided to come in, I asked him to stop following me and find a good master instead of following me to this dark place.
I could also eat less and cry less. But this child didn't listen at all. He cried and shouted and wanted to follow me. He even dared to threaten me that if I didn't want him, he would not be able to inherit the teacher's order, so he had to die to apologize. Since everything has been mentioned
When it came to the old guy, I really had no choice but to let him go. He happily followed me here.
Yun Ying also said with tears that she wanted to go with me, but she definitely couldn't. She also followed in, so who would be outside to take care of her? This secret agent-like job had to be left to her. Although she was worried about her, she
She and I have grown up together, and I have always taught her how to disguise and what acting is. In addition, she was raised and trained by my parents to work as an undercover agent next to me, and she has a good foundation in kung fu. In fact, my worries are a bit unnecessary.
.
This Luoshuang Palace is actually very big, almost as big as the palace of the fourth concubine. It is said that a certain emperor in the previous dynasty built it for his favorite concubine, but later the concubine fell out of favor. She has been imprisoned here, and gradually it became
The nominal cold palace. This once luxurious and magnificent palace has become abandoned. The broad garden has become overgrown with weeds, the lotus pond has long dried up, and there is a lot of dust and cobwebs in the corners of the house... Fortunately, there is an ancient well in the backyard. Although the yard
It has been abandoned for so long, but the well has always been filled with clear water. Xiao Quanzi and I fetched a bucket, and the water turned out to be clean, cool and sweet, which made me happy for a long time.
I pulled down all the curtains, found a big wooden barrel and a washboard, and started cleaning. Strangely enough, although this place looks very desolate and old, after all, it was once a luxurious place, and all the tools and things that should be there are there.
Yes, it's just very old, but it still works.
After cleaning these things, I started mopping the floor again. This was really a hard job. My back and shoulders were so sore. Fortunately, I had experienced the torture of that damn devil boy when I was young, so I could still bear the pain at this time.
The more difficult thing is how to persuade those ladies to take a shower. Alas, they are still immersed in the Cinderella fairy tale of the past and have not woken up. No matter how hard I try to persuade them, it is useless. In the end, I have to use ruthless tactics.
.
My trump card, hehe. These women have been looking forward to the emperor's favor again. I just mentioned that the emperor was coming to see them and asked them to dress up beautifully and wait for the emperor's invitation. These crazy women immediately became obedient.
, full of tenderness, let me help them bathe and comb their hair, and make them look like human beings. After all the hard work, there were actually more than a dozen ladies. However, I met a special person, and this person will also be in my future life.
Always stay with me.
This person is also one of these empresses. Her name is Su Da. She is extremely charming and beautiful. Even as a woman, I am still a little tempted when I look at her. Because she was favored for a while, her temperament was arrogant and difficult, and she suffered
People were jealous, and in the end they were framed, and they ended up here.
While I was cleaning those stupid ladies, she stood aside in white clothes and looked at me coldly, saying coldly: "Idiot."
I was shocked. Of course, what I was shocked about was not what she said, but that there were normal people here! The women here either went crazy thinking about the emperor, or were driven crazy by the loneliness of the boring days in the cold palace. She was still normal, not at all.
I'm not crazy! I hurriedly said happily to her: "Hello, I'm Xie Weiying, I've just arrived. Come and help."
She smiled disdainfully: "Do you think what you are doing is useful? People who come here have already died."
I stopped rubbing the back of one of the ladies, stood up straight, looked at her calmly, and said calmly: "What about you? Is your heart still beating? Since you have lived a good life and tolerated it until now,
That means you still hate, complain, and cherish yourself. In this case, why do you say such self-abandonment? Aren’t you abandoned by a man? What’s the big deal? The earth is still spinning, life, isn’t it?
Continue. Talk about whether you will die or not." I lowered my head and continued to help the lady who was staring blankly into the distance, and said lightly: "If you want, please help quickly."
She pursed her lips and looked at me. There was stubbornness and unyieldingness in her eyes. After a long time, she sighed softly and turned around to leave.
I briefly cleaned all the rooms in the Luoshuang Palace, then I gave the ladies code names, made some cards, wrote the numbers and hung them around their necks, and then hung the corresponding numbers in those rooms.
, as a voucher for their respective rooms. I reserved the room on the far side for myself. There is a wall outside the room, which is outside.
Suddenly I remembered that Gao Lu once told me that Luoshuang Palace is the closest place to the outside in the palace. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a little happy. Didn't this lay the foundation for me to go out?
By the time I got everything basically done, it was already late at night. I tossed and turned on the stiff bed and couldn't sleep. After frying pancakes for several hours, I finally got up and took down the guitar that Xiao Quanzi had brought with him outside.
.
I jumped to the roof and sat down, with the bright full moon above my head, the quiet and faint golden moonlight shining on my body and the entire silent Luoshuang Palace.
I tried out the sounds a few times, and began to adapt a few lyrics, slowly and softly:
“When will spring flowers and autumn moon come?
How much do you know about the past?
There was an east wind in the small building last night,
The motherland cannot bear to look back at the bright moon.
The carved railings and jade inlays should still be there,
It's just Zhu Yan's change.
How much sorrow can you have?
Just like a river of spring water flowing eastward!
…”
I sang quietly, not wanting to affect others because of my sleeplessness.
Quietly I opened my eyes that had been slightly squinted, and the confusion in my eyes actually reflected the sad face of Suda standing on the opposite side of the roof. She stood at a low place and stared at me quietly, with the melancholy in her eyes.
And sadness makes her face more moving, more charming, and makes my heart ache even more.
I looked at her from a distance, mouthed and said, "Fool."
I knew she understood. Because I saw a faint smile flash across her face.
It's very beautiful. Just like Li Yu's song "Poppy Poppy".
