According to the customs of the high officials in Beijing, women must fast in the temple for three days. It was a coincidence that Wu Wei and I were sent to the Yuchan Temple in the southern suburbs of Beijing. My father valued Yuchan Temple's location in a remote and unknown place, and there would be no disturbances. However, Wu Wei had a distant uncle who became a monk there, so she can rest assured that her relatives will take care of her.

I vaguely remember that she was underweight at that time, wearing a rose-colored dress with big flowers printed and dyed in scarlet, and wearing a golden hairpin on her head. She was very wealthy.

Because I have been together for three days, I have become familiar with it. Because I was hidden deeply by my father, I had few friends. Suddenly there was a playmate of the same age, and he was naturally very happy. After that, she often invited her to be a guest at home, and even hoped that one of her elder brothers would marry her and come in.

It's just that Wu Wei's background is not bad, her heart is high, and she wants to enter the palace as a concubine or concubine. Whenever she talks about the palace, she is full of yearning. However, before I entered the palace, she was executed for breaking the palace rules and convicting the family.

At the moment, I remember many old things. Those who entered the palace, those who entered the palace, and those who left the palace, felt a little sore in their hearts.

"Alright." My subordinates quickly added the last few places and shook the skirt aside to show Hui'er.

At this time, in the afterglow of the evening, the white skirt seemed to give birth to infinite stars, sparsely up and down densely, converging into a twinkling of stars on the skirt. Every bit of starlight is a diamond pattern the size of sesame seeds I embroidered with fine silver thread. Although the diamond pattern is simple, each one is the size of sesame seeds. There are at least tens of thousands of them on this skirt, which is very labor-intensive to embroider.

The moment I shook the skirt aside, Hui'er's eyes straightened, and she took half a piece of peach crisp in her hand, just as it was about to be sent into her mouth. In the next moment, she almost threw away the quick peach cake, rubbed her hands, stared at the skirt trying to touch it but not daring to touch it, her mouth was open enough to lay an egg.

"Miss Hui'er, look, are you okay?" I smiled.

Hui'er looked up at me, and suddenly said, "It's beautiful."

I was shocked, but the light veil on my face was still there, so I folded the skirt and gave her: "Then, please give me a few words from Ms. Huier so that I can leave this place as soon as possible."

Hui'er nodded: "Don't worry, the mother is kind and committed, and if you promise you, you will definitely do it." She looked at the skirt in her hand, showing an expression of love, and said happily: "I will take it back to the mother. ."

I drove her to the door and watched her leave. Then I slowly walked back to the room, lit a candle, and faced the long night. The past was flooded. I thought, this might be another sleepless night.

Afterwards, I figured that I would have to wait for the banquet to end before Yi Zhaorong would move me to the dressing room. Long days are boring, there are still a lot of silver threads that Yi Zhaorong sent before, and there are some clothes that the maids didn't wear that Huier brought. I hadn't sorted it out before, so I turned it out after a few days of nothing.

Basically, those palace ladies no longer wear it. After all, the palace distributes clothes every season, and the masters of the palace will also reward the palace people with fabrics, jewelry and other items on festive days, so they are quickly eliminated.

The few pieces I have are actually half old and not new, and the fabrics are good, but the styles or patterns are outdated. Only one piece of clothing is special.

It was a pair of jade-pigmented Japanese satin with a few green chrysanthemums sparsely embroidered on it, which looked very unobtrusive. But the style is not palace dress, because although the styles of folk palace clothes are the same, starting from the founding emperor, the edges of palace dress hem and cuffs must be wide or shallow, or complicated or simple. But the private cannot have it. In this way, it cannot be seen from the outside, but as long as you open the back of the gown, you can definitely tell.

At this time, this jade-colored pair of **** has no embroidered patterns, but the clothes are of excellent texture, and it looks like the style of a few years ago. After thinking about it, I knew that this should be the dress of Yi Zhaorong.

Teenage women who don't like to wear red and green, this dress is very simple and elegant, wanting to be as pleasant as a person, like an elegant white orchid.

I looked at the silk thread in my hand, turned my mind a few times, embroidered a "卐" pattern on the inner edge of this skirt, which means "collection of auspicious virtues", and then removed the chrysanthemum from the original clothes. It is still embroidered with silver thread to embroider the Baoxiang flower, with other flowers and leaves of different shapes and sizes in the middle. Furthermore, regular round beads are embroidered on the base of the flower stamens and petals. In this way, such a skirt is very simple at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there is a sense of beauty and beauty.

I think Yi Zhaorong will like it. In other words, Shen Xiyao will definitely like it.

No, I haven't waited until the night banquet, Yi Zhaorong is here again. This time, she brought the good news I had been waiting for.

The weather was fine that day, and there was a refreshing coolness in the wind. I leaned against the porch and ate a piece of peach crisp, thinking in a daze that such a day is common in Huangjia Village. At that time, Xihe would be with I swam the back mountain with my arms. On the mountain path full of green grass and flowers, butterflies fluttered by, or birds sang. Xihe walked all the way, picking some wild flowers, and was able to make a beautiful wreath on my head. Unexpectedly, his pair of hands holding swords on the battlefield and writing in the courtroom would actually make these gadgets.

How happy I was at that time. If life can go on like that, if we go to Jiangnan early, then at this time, will there be another me and him, wandering happily among the green mountains and beautiful waters of Jiangnan, or, in my own eaves Playing the piano, flute and singing, is it right to chant poems?

I shook my head vigorously, and vigorously waved out the image that emerged in my mind. I keep reminding myself that I am dying, in Daxi's harem. I still have an unrequited family feud, and I will eventually return to Shen Xiyao.

I looked at the running clouds in the sky and whispered, "Xihe, don't blame me, when I have done everything, I will go to the bridge and wait for you first."

"Xie Niang, what are you thinking about?" Yi Zhaorong's sweet voice suddenly sounded around me, which shocked me.

"Manny Zhaorong." I hurriedly bowed: "Why did Empress come here?"

Yi Zhaorong smiled sweetly: "What are you thinking about? Hui'er and I have been in for a long time, and we watched you standing there in a daze." As she raised her head towards Hui'er, Hui'er stepped forward and held her hands. He held a box and handed it to me.

"This is?" I opened, and there were some broken silver and some simple jewelry in between, puzzled.

"This is for you. First, thank you for making such a beautiful dress for me. Second, I thought, although the dressing room is a place where the lower palace people stay, it is inevitable that there are times when silver is needed. These I asked them to wring out the broken silver with ten silver bars. It is convenient for you to use." Yi Zhaorong smiled gently.

I was overjoyed, so it seemed that my going to the coat room was settled.

"Xie Niang, in fact, if you are willing to be by my side, it's the same." Yi Zhaorong sat on the railing and said suddenly.

I didn't know what she meant, and looked at her suspiciously.

"As soon as I inquired, the ladies in the dressing room would be released after 25. But the maid beside the master must have a family outside and the master is willing to let it out." She looked at me and sighed. Said: "You should have told me earlier."

I came to understand that only the maids in the lowest places like the Huanyifang would let them out regardless of whether there were family members outside, and Xiulange didn't let them go because the more experienced the embroiders, the better they can embroider. And the palace ladies around the theme need the willingness of the theme. Therefore, Yi Zhaorong thought that I went to the dressing room because of this idea.

I would be wrong, and she gave herself a reasonable explanation that was the best. Right now I just lowered my head and said nothing.

"If you are willing to stay by my side and treat you for twenty-five years, I will let you go out and give you money to buy a house, so that you can worry-free for the rest of your life. Do you think it's good?" Yi Zhaorong looks forward to it. , In her opinion, I should knelt down and thank you immediately.

I am deeply blessed: "Thank you Niang Niang for your love. But Xie Niang doesn't want to cause trouble to Niang Niang." I looked at Yi Zhaorong and said, "For one thing, my face is ruined. It is really inconvenient to stay in Niang Niang Palace. Here, although I have cleared my grievances, the existence of Xie Niang will make the emperor think of the queen mother, and think of the queen, and make the emperor sad. If the emperor alienates the empress for this reason, I will die ten thousand times, and it will be hard for the enemy to sin."

I worshipped again: "So, I hope Niang Niang can let Xie Niang go to the coat room. Although Xie Niang is in the coat room, she still has to rely on Niang Niang's care and let her send her."

Yi Zhaorong looked at me, thought for a long time, then laughed, and reached out to help me and said, "It's still as thoughtful as you think. That's right, you went to the coat room, if you have anything, come to Changchun Palace to find Huier That's good."

I lowered my head: "Xie Niang, thank you Niang Niang for your kindness."

Yi Zhaorong patted my hand: "The dressing room is hard, you take care of yourself. Hui'er will come and take you there tomorrow morning, so please clean up today. Over there, everything has been set up."

After that, I smiled and said: "The lady will sit down first, and I have something to give to the lady." Then I took the skirt and came out: "A few days ago, Miss Huier brought some old clothes for me to wear. I see here. This piece of clothing seemed to be worn by the girl, so she changed it on her own terms. If she likes to wear it, it is also a good thing." After that, she shakes it away in front of Yi Zhaorong.

Yi Zhaorong's eyes lit up, and before Huier took it, he held the look first. While looking at it, he smiled and said: "This is a dress in my boudoir. I loved it very much back then, but I can't wear it when I enter the palace. A few days ago, I asked Hui'er to pack some old clothes for you, thinking that you look like me. , It’s better to give it to you, it’s better than losing it."

I know I guessed her right. Yi Zhaorong is not from a high-class family, and that piece is also a good dress for her in her boudoir. Otherwise, she would not be brought into the palace.

I had a gentle smile: "It's okay for my mother to like it."

Yi Zhaorong looked at me with more warm eyes, took off a bracelet of suet jade from her hand and put it on my wrist: "This will be rewarded to you."

I looked at the bracelet, the mutton white jade was as delicate as a baby's skin, and it felt warm when worn on the wrist. I am deeply blessed: "Thank you, Niang Niang."

When Brother Zhao came to deliver the meal in the evening, I waited at the door.

"Hey, why did you come out?" Brother Zhao asked me in surprise when he saw me.

I saluted him deeply, and he took a few steps back in fright: "You, what are you doing?"

I smiled and said, "This prayer is to thank you for saving my life several times. I will leave here tomorrow. I am afraid that after tonight, there will be no chance."

"Are you leaving? Go back..." Brother Zhao's eyes brightened, but dimmed again: "I have been thinking about it. If the emperor takes you back, the whole palace will know."

I smiled, knowing what he was thinking, and said again: "This time I left here justifiably. Although I won't return to the harem, I still stepped out. If I can return to the right position in the future, You must not forget your kindness."

Brother Zhao frowned: "Then where are you going?"

I shook some dust on my clothes, and wrote lightly: "Coating Bureau."
