Chapter 5 Chapter 5: Night Rain in the Palace

Back home, Rong Qing was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night.After so many days, he finally met the sweetheart whom he misses day and night.People say that the gate of the palace is as deep as the sea, and this time he has learned the lesson.It was more difficult for the family members to visit the maid than to meet the prisoner in the cell. He finally pretended to be a dumb man and broke through two levels in a row. In the end, he was blocked by the guards of the imperial guards far away from the gap in the city wall.If it weren't for the openness on both sides of the gap in the city wall, and if it weren't for the people who visited the palace talking in the room, he certainly wouldn't even have the chance to take a look at Yin'er.Thinking of those two menacing royal guards, he suddenly had an idea: If I can enter the palace as a guard, I will have a chance to meet Yin'er!

The second uncle and his father have always wanted him to be a guard, but he refused. Now it seems that this is the only chance to get close to Yin'er.The imperial guards in the palace were also selected from various guard camps. Naturally, they were all strong in martial arts. He thought he could learn a good skill from his second uncle. Their Ye He family belonged to the Yellow Banner, so it would be uncertain in the future There is also a chance to be transferred to the imperial city as an errand, besides, the second uncle himself is the Lanling bodyguard of the Daqing Gate, this is not a small position, and he can speak for himself.So as long as my uncle is willing to help recommend it, it is entirely possible.right!How come he never thought of this before, and he even forgot that his second uncle is the best bridger for him to enter the palace as an errand.

Since seeing Yin'er from a distance during that visit to the palace, Rong Qing, who was usually not enthusiastic about being an army guard, suddenly became motivated, and went to Nanyuan Jianrui Zuoying through his uncle to become a factory guard.The parents thought that as time passed, he would gradually accept Yin'er, and they were naturally happy, and they were grateful to the second uncle for his great help. Nanyuan is the hunting palace of the royal family in the past dynasties. It is sixty or seventy miles southward after leaving the Yongding Gate.Early that morning, Rong Qing and his second uncle rode two fast horses together and arrived there after more than an hour (that is, three hours).Along the way, the second uncle repeatedly told him that the military camp is no better than the family, and the camp has its own rules.The army has military laws, and it's not a joke: the young master's temper is worthless there.If you are a senior official, you have to listen to others!

The two talked while walking, and when they passed a mound, they saw a large area of ​​red walls and green tiles in the distance, and there was no one around.Enhai saw that his nephew was not in a good mood, so he ignored him and led him towards the tall palace wall.A side door by the palace wall was wide open, and a guard stood there.The sentinel saw Rong Qing and En Hai, and informed the people in the camp. The next moment, a leader led seven or eight guards out of the side door.The position of the leader in the army is roughly equivalent to the current platoon leader.This leader named Yuan Liu was tall and had a swollen face. He used to be Enhai's subordinate, and he was here to greet General Enhai when he learned that General Enhai was coming today.When he saw Rongqing's second uncle, he immediately grinned and opened his wide flat mouth, respectfully went up to him and shouted: "Master En!"

Enhai glanced at Yuan Liu, nodded and hummed softly, then passed the slow rope in his hand to the other party, and then got off the horse calmly. Qinger!Yuan Lingcui is your immediate boss.The second uncle pointed to Yuan Liu and told Rong Qing. Yuan Ling urged.Rong Qing hastily clasped his fists in salute. Yuan Liu led his nephew and uncle into the barracks.Yuan Liu looked at Rong Qing as he walked, and saw that he was dressed very elegantly, and he was also handsome and fair-looking. At first glance, he knew that he had been spoiled since he was a child, and he had never suffered any hardships. , asking him to teach this young master Rong well.

it's him?Yuan Liu quietly asked Enhai. He is a curmudgeon.Enhai nodded and whispered in his ear, you will have to take care of him in the future. Grandpa!You put your heart in your stomach, and in my hands, Yuan Liu, even a lump of pig iron has to be turned into stretched noodles.Yuan Liu smiled confidently. Enhai handed Rongqing to Yuanliu and returned to the capital. Rong Qing followed Yuan Liu into the shed.The so-called shed is the barracks of the soldiers. It is a big house with heated kangs on both sides. There are about twenty people living there, and Yuan Liu, the leader, lives with them.As soon as the horn blows before dawn, all the soldiers get up and go to the training ground to practice martial arts and drill the formation.Afternoon, after dinner and before dark, Beijingers call it Houdenger, and those veterans hide in the sheds to gamble, and some people go to the countryside a few miles away to find wives to sleep with.

Every time at this time, looking at the large expanse of buildings and pavilions in the empty palace, Rong Qing felt so bored, and thought to himself, since he was the royal guard, he would not stay in the capital, what would he do so far away.In his opinion, the so-called guards are naturally to defend the emperor and the court, and they should be stationed where the emperor lives.For example, the Imperial Palace, Beihai, Zhongnanhai and Jingshan, and then the Summer Palace, and the Old Summer Palace that was set on fire by foreigners.These places are much closer to the city than the place in front of us. Besides, Nanyuan is the place where the emperor hunts in autumn, and the empress dowager, empresses and concubines would never come here.If the female relatives don't come, naturally the maids and mothers won't come either, so it's impossible to see Yin'er in this palace in the wilderness.The more Rong Qing thought about it, the more he felt cheated.At the beginning, the second uncle promised him to be a royal guard instead of going to the countryside to guard this empty house.

After living here for less than half a month, an order was issued from above that Jianrui Zuoying should be deployed.Hearing the news, Rong Qing was very excited, thinking that they would definitely be transferred to the capital city where the emperor lived, but they didn't expect that instead of going to the capital city, they were transferred to Chengde Mountain Resort, which was farther away. Rong Qing was so anxious that he immediately found Yuan Liu and said He could not go to Chengde with the army. You kid has a good idea!Yuan Liu yelled at Rong Qing with a pair of bull's eyes, what's the old saying?Raise soldiers for thousands of days, use them for a while, you can go wherever your superiors tell you to go, not to mention telling you to go to Chengde, even if you are told to jump into a fire pit, you must not frown, not to mention that the matter of driving to Chengde was passed down by the emperor's former minister of guards Word of mouth!We are the forbidden army, so we should guard the imperial city and the two palaces.What are you going to do in Chengde?Rong Qing asked in a daze.

Beijing is a palace, and Chengde is also a palace.What nonsense! I dont go! Hehe, is there a challenge?Yuan Liu didn't expect that he dared to talk back to him, and deliberately teased him. I have been deaf for the past two days, so I didn't hear it! I will not go to Chengde!Rong Qing stubbornly straightened his neck and said again.As soon as the words fell to the ground, Yuan Liu stepped forward and slapped him hard.Rong Qing grew up so big, he had never been spanked before, he only felt his face was burning hot, and his eyes were shining brightly.He rushed in front of Yuan Liu angrily and wanted to make a move. The guards standing behind Yuan Liu who had been prepared did not wait for him to make a move, they stepped forward and pressed him to the ground together.Yuan Liu yelled: Pass on the military law!The imperial guards immediately took off Rongqing's trousers, and one of the imperial guards raised his stick to look at Yuan Liu, and asked in a low voice how much to beat.

Until it is called forgiveness.Rong Qing is Master En's nephew, Yuan Liu wanted to think about it, but thinking of Master En's repeated confession that he must train this young master who was spoiled since he was a child, so he had to give him a good beating, Yuan Liu's words fell to the ground, and there The military stick had landed on Rongqing's flesh. Rong Qing was lying on the long wooden bench, holding tightly to the two wooden legs of the bench with both hands, enduring bursts of severe pain and insisted on not making a sound.At first he still felt pain in his skin and flesh, then he only felt numbness in his buttocks, and then he almost lost consciousness.The wooden stick made a muffled sound as it hit his flesh, and there was the sound of yelling in his ears: twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five. , can't hear anything.

In the middle of the night, Rong Qing was woken up by urinating, and he opened his eyes in a daze, only to see that the shed was pitch black.He wanted to get off the kang to pee, but as soon as he turned over, he felt pain everywhere, especially his buttocks.He gritted his teeth and got off the ground, walking towards the urine bucket outside the shed.The pants were stuck to the flesh and blood on the buttocks, and every time he took a step, there was a heart-wrenching pain from the wound.Yuan Liu is a son of a bitch!As he moved, he gritted his teeth in his heart. Yuan Liu is the second uncle's subordinate, and the second uncle asked him to take care of me. That's how he took care of me. If he continues to take care of me like this, this life will definitely be in his hands. After urinating, he stood by the hut and looked around at the dark wilderness, and suddenly thought of running away.As soon as the idea of ​​running away appeared in his mind, his heart was tightly clenched together.right!You must not follow Yuan Liu to Chengde, a place where ghosts don't lay eggs. Although you can't see Yin'er in the capital, you can feel her presence. A piece of blue sky.If I went to Chengde, hundreds of miles away, I would never have the chance to see her again.He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, limped close to the base of the barracks wall and groped towards the north palace wall quietly. Because of his body injury, he walked very slowly, and it took him a meal to reach the south palace wall. which one?Following the cry, two figures flashed in the distance.Knowing that it was Zha Ye's sentry, Rong Qing hurriedly lay motionless in the grass by the wall.The sentry walked towards his hiding place while choking.He was lying on the ground, staring at the guard post that was getting closer and closer, thinking to himself, let them catch him back, if he can't run away and beat him up, he might even hurt his second uncle and his family. Suddenly, the grass not far away With a whoosh, a hare jumped out.The two guards were startled, staring at the direction where the rabbit disappeared for a long time, then turned and left. Seeing the two guards walking away, Rong Qing secretly rejoiced, thinking that God had helped him.He quietly got up from the ground and walked eastward against the wall.A few days ago, he discovered that the palace wall over there was shorter than this one, and it was dilapidated and incomplete. There were several gaps piled with stones and bricks waiting to be repaired. It should not be a problem to climb out from there. Not long after he walked, he felt extremely weak, and his feet were so light that he couldn't hold on.He stood leaning against the wall panting.Facing the cool night wind, my mind was very clear, thinking that I could escape back to the capital from here, without having to go to Chengde with Yuan Liu and the others, I immediately felt a surge of energy in my heart, and walked towards a gap in front with big strides.As soon as he got there, a black figure suddenly stood up.A muffled voice sounded in the darkness: Master Rong!You are too courageous to be a deserter! Rong Qing was dumbfounded when he heard that voice, it was Yuan Liu.He stood there blocking Rong Qing's way. Rong Qing was speechless for a long time. It's just a meal of stewed meat with bamboo shoots, so why don't you leave without saying goodbye?Not interesting enough!Yuan Liu said witty words, but his face was very serious, where do you want to run?Have you ever thought that you can escape to the sky?Even if you can escape, who would dare to harbor a deserter? I'm not going anywhere, I'm going home Hahaha Yuan Liu laughed after hearing this, go home?There is no sweet pastry for you when you go home.Whether you are going back to your own home or your uncle's, let's make a bet that someone will send you back before dawn! You are talking nonsense!Rong Qing never thought of this level, his mouth was stiff, but his heart secretly panicked. Yuan Liu's speech has always been methodical.To tell you the truth, you were sent by your uncle and entrusted by your father!The two of them told me to kill your temper.You have to be aware of current affairs, obediently follow me back. What if you don't go back?Rong Qing said in a low voice, his tone was much softer than before. That's up to you.I will never stop you on Yuan Sixth today.Yuan Liu put his hands on his chest, smiled calmly, and asked me to say, that's called nonsense.Dog meat is not served.Your young master's blank is not this material!Let's go, let's go home and squint.The sky is thundering and I will bear it, so as not to get angry with you endlessly. Rong Qing originally thought that he would definitely catch him, and dragged him back screaming and cursing, but he didn't expect the other party to look like he didn't care, and instead lost his mind for a while.go!Yuan Liu pushed him and said, let's go!It's time to lift the cage and pet, and it's time to set up the bird.Don't get tired of me!Rong Qing looked at the gap in front of the palace wall, as long as he raised his legs and climbed over here, he would be free.Rong Qing glanced at Yuan Liu, seeing the other party's expression of indifference, he couldn't care less, hesitated for a while, finally gritted his teeth, stomped over the gap in the wall and ran away. At the turn of the morning, Yin'er was rubbing the carved fence with a few maids in the corridor, when she heard a eunuch shouting: Lafayette, let's drive!When he yelled, the eunuchs standing on the altar outside the main hall immediately yelled, so the eunuchs standing outside the palace gate waiting to see him off also yelled, and there was a echo from inside and outside the palace. Prestige. When Yin'er and the maids heard the voice, they knew that the old lady was going to meet the courtiers at the Hall of Mental Cultivation in the south, so they hurriedly knelt down where the Empress Dowager Cixi passed by.Before the voices came to an end, many court ladies and eunuchs walked out of the hall, lined up on both sides.Even though my aunt repeatedly told Lafayette to kneel on the ground obediently when they drove up, and they were not allowed to raise their heads or look around, Yin'er, like those new maids, couldn't help being curious.The moment she knelt down, she saw an apricot-yellow canopy swaying above the crowd, and under the canopy an old woman in luxurious clothes walked down the steps surrounded by the crowd. Yin'er, the court ladies, and the eunuchs knelt on the ground, shouting together: Good luck, Lafayette!When the old queen's guard of honor passed by Yin'er, there was a sound of footsteps.Although she didn't dare to raise her head, she tried her best to peek at those pairs of feet from the corner of her eyes, including the black-soled boots of eunuchs and the soft-soled shoes of palace maids. Among these many pairs of shoes, she found a unique pair. Different flowerpot soles.The sole of this kind of shoe is like a flowerpot, white and three inches high, with beautiful patterns embroidered on the upper and a huge pearl on the toe.In the sound of footsteps, in the fine dust raised by the dress, she immediately recognized that the owner of the shoes was the supreme mistress of the palace, and even Long Live had to listen to her. Yin'er lay on the ground, her eyes fixed on the pair of noble flowerpot shoes, which passed under the long skirt and were quickly blocked by the hem of other people's clothes.In the nearly three months since she came here, she knelt on the ground and saw these noble shoes more than once, but she had never seen the real face of the owner of these shoes. Yin'er told Ping'er more than once that she had been here for almost three months, but she had never seen what Lafayette looked like.This is not surprising.Needless to say, you have been here for three months, and I have been here for a year, and I have only seen her a few times from a distance.Although Ping'er said it was not surprising at all, Yin'er always felt that since she was working here and serving Lafayette, she couldn't even see her face, so she always felt a little uncomfortable. At first, Yin'er was only thinking of leaving the palace early, and never thought of seeing Lafayette. But after a long time, when she knew that she would not be able to leave here until she had been here for seven years, she felt a desire to see him. To this totalitarian empress dowager in the Qing Dynasty, according to the titles of the eunuchs and maids in the palace, she is the Lafayette or the ancestor.People are so weird, even though she doesn't want to stay here for a day, as long as she stays here, the kind of strength that is not willing to be left behind will emerge.Thinking of those bedtime attendants and those in charge of changing clothes, including Aunt Xiuzi who respects cigarettes, all of them are full of air, and feel that they are three points above others.In the final analysis, it's not because these people are the close maids of the old lady, they are honored by Lafayette, they feel honored themselves, and others look at them with admiration. After a long time, they will naturally feel much higher than others.She is confident that as long as she has a chance, she will never be inferior to those people, including Xiuzi.For this reason, she secretly made up her mind that she must learn the skill of respecting cigarettes well. After Xiuzi left, she would be able to serve the old Buddha in less than two or three years. Cixi left the Chuxiu Palace surrounded by a large group of people, and Ping'er immediately led Yin'er and other court ladies into the Tihe Palace.At this time, two eunuchs came in carrying a basket of fresh fruits, so the maids hurried away immediately.They dragged out the translucent porcelain bowls under the table, in the corner of the wall and by the window.The porcelain bowl is specially made, shaped like a copper tripod, and there are fruits such as bergamot, bananas and pineapples in it. Together with the other court ladies, Yin'er quickly took out the old fruit from the porcelain vat, put in the fresh fruit from the basket, and then put the porcelain pot back to its original place.This is called changing the cylinder.At the beginning of changing the vat, Yin'er found that the fruit in the porcelain vat hadn't been touched, why did it have to be replaced with fresh fruit every once in a while?There are so many fruits, I can't eat them all.She couldn't figure out why the cylinder had to be changed.Ping'er couldn't help laughing, so she told her that the fruit in the vat was not for people to eat, but for Xiangdian.Lafayette doesn't like to burn incense, and is willing to use fruit fragrance to get rid of other miscellaneous smells. No wonder the place where Lafayette lives has a special fragrance.Yin'er suddenly realized. According to our words, this is the taste of Chuxiu Palace.Ping'er entered the palace a year earlier than Yin'er, and was also a year older. She looked like a big sister everywhere. After changing the vat, Yin'er and Heping'er walked out of Tihe Highness and went down to the room. Seeing that there was no one around, Yin'er whispered, "Sister Ping, do you think Auntie Xiuzi will catch me going to the tea room?" , sue to the top, saying that I collided with Lafayette's soup? I don't think so. If I really wanted to sue you, I would have sued you long ago. I thought so too, or if my family came to see me, she didn't stop me, and even combed my hair herself.Yin'er also told Ping'er that their family members visited the palace for the first time, and Uncle Zhang specially found someone to meet their family members outside the palace. Cha Shui Zhang is a good man with a very kind heart. Who gave him such a nickname? Many people in the palace have nicknames, for example, Uncle Huang, who shaved the emperor's head, is called Shatou Huang, Manager Li is called Buddha Jianxi, and Xiaohui is called Luobotou, almost everyone has them.The two talked and laughed all the way back to the servant's room. Just as they rested, Xiuzi sent someone to ask Yin'er to fetch water for her to take a bath. Yin'er kept saying that she understood, and stood up from the edge of the kang helplessly. go quickly.You have to find a way to please Aunt Xiu, make her happy everywhere, and do what she asks you to do carefully. Anyway, she is already twenty-one, and she will leave here sooner or later.As long as she's happy, she can't spoil your business, don't you think?Ping'er told her softly. The maid's bathing room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. The inside is used by aunts and aunts, and the outside is the place where ordinary court ladies take a bath.According to the regulations in the palace, all Lafayette's close-fitting maids should be washed once every half a month in winter, once every five days in spring and autumn, and once a day in summer. Washing once is inevitable. Yin'er and another court lady carried a bucket of hot water into the inner room, poured more than half of the hot water into the wooden basin, and left a small half of the bucket of hot water.After the other court lady left, Yin'er mixed the cold water prepared in advance into the hot water, tried the water temperature with her hands, until she thought it was right, put the towel and soap on the square stool by the bathtub, and went outside In the house, ask Xiuzi to come in and take a bath. After Xiuzi lifted the curtain and went in, Yin'er prepared a change of clothes for her, as well as combs, powder puffs, scissors and other supplies, and waited outside the door.After Aunt Xiu finished washing, with a yell, she had to pass the clothes in through the door curtain, and then combed her hair and cut her feet.After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from Xiuzi. She was wondering when Xiuzi suddenly raised the curtain and came out naked. Yin'er's eyes lit up, and her heart suddenly fell into a panic.For the first time in her whole life, she saw the naked bodies of other young women.In the past, when she was taking a bath for Xiuzi, she would always put on her clothes before coming out. She would never be naked in front of her, let alone walk around naked without any scruples.Looking at Xiuzi's plump and well-proportioned nude body, she instinctively lowered her head, feeling very ashamed, and felt that Aunt Xiu was too presumptuous, and she shouldn't have revealed her feminine secrets in front of an unmarried girl. Do you think I'm ugly and you don't even dare to look at me?Xiuzi asked deliberately, as if she could see what Yin'er was thinking, she wiped the water off her body with a dry towel, and sat down on the side of the wooden couch. aunt!Seeing where you are going, you are neither fat nor thin, Yin'er was so frightened that she didn't know what to say, she quickly praised the other party, and at the same time picked up the coat and draped it on the other party's shoulders. When will you learn to play tricks?Xiuzi smiled disdainfully, shook her clothes, took the underwear and put it on calmly. Yin'er turned her face away and stood there blankly, still thinking about the scene just now.Hideko's naked body impressed her too much.I usually can't see it under the clothes, but I didn't expect my aunt to be so good-looking naked, with her tall breasts, slender waist, and round buttocks, white and tender, as beautiful as she could be.In particular, there are two ripe cherry-like nipples on her nipples, something that even a woman would feel ashamed to see, how can I think about this kind of thing!Yin'er cut off her thoughts and scolded herself in her heart. Well, you can turn your face away.Xiuzi got dressed, sat down on the wooden couch, and cut off her toenails with scissors: "Don't be so serious, you are also a woman, don't you even see yourself naked?" Yin'er blushed when she said this, as if she was spotted naked by the other party, she walked up to Xiuzi and said flatteringly: "Auntie!I'll do your toenails. All right.Xiuzi hesitated for a moment, then handed the scissors to Yin'er. Yin'er squatted on the ground, held Xiuzi's feet in her arms, and carefully cut the toenails for her.She patiently trimmed the toenails, and then slowly smoothed the burrs on the toenails with a small setback.She repaired one of Xiuzi's feet, and held the other foot in her arms. Yin'er, Xiuzi raised her foot with manicured toenails, and said with satisfaction, look at my feet, are they looking good? My aunt's feet are neither fat nor thin, neither big nor small, with all five fingers equal to one size fits all. According to the photo book, this is a good shape. Yeah?Have you read the foot photo book? Yes, it was left by my father.Yin'er nodded. What else was said in the photo book? According to the photo book, my aunt's double-headed feet are called boat-shaped feet. Boat feet?Xiuzi asked curiously, what did you say? I dare not speak nonsense.Yin'er was afraid that Aunt Xiu would turn upside down after a while, so she hesitated to say anything. It doesn't matter, there is no one else here, you can say what is written in the book. The book says that a person with my aunt's foot shape is like a boat sailing on water, and it will run smoothly for a lifetime.In the future, not only will she be rich, but she will also be able to marry a good husband, and Sun Mantangyin'er can see that Xiuzi is very happy today, thinking why not say a few words to make her happy.Unexpectedly, she said a lot of auspicious words, but Xiuzi stopped talking, and the smile on her face suddenly stopped. Don't do this with me!Are you afraid that I will report on your assault on the imperial tea room, so you make up good stories to coax me!Xiuzi's face changed as soon as she said it, she suddenly pulled her feet back, Yin'er suddenly lost her center of gravity, and sat down on the ground. aunt!That's exactly what the book says.Yin'er didn't know what she said wrong, she was so frightened that she was at a loss. Keep your mouth shut!Xiuzi kicked Yin'er hard, stood up from the chair, buttoned the cloth buttons on the side of her clothes, walked out of the bathroom with a flick of her hand, and slammed the door loudly.Yin'er got up from the ground and looked at the door with aggrieved face, not knowing where she offended the other party. In order to correct her sleeping position, before going to bed at night, Yin'er lay sideways on the kang, and asked Miss Ping to tie herself up with a wide cloth belt, and fix one end to the handle of a large wooden box.The other end is tied to the legs of the Kang table.Miss Ping helped her tie the cloth belt and asked if it was too tight, and Yin'er asked her to tie it tighter. It's tight enough, but it's too tight and the blood vessels will not flow, and tomorrow I will feel weak when I wake up, why should I work?Ping'er tried the straps and said. Don't be afraid, just be tighter.Yin'er was worried that she would wake up in the morning and sleep badly, and Aunt Xiu would be scolded if she caught her.Miss Ping tightened the belt ruthlessly, then covered Yin'er with a quilt, and lay down on the Kang table across the Kang table. It's strange to say that Aunt Xiu used to have a pretty good temper, but recently she's been acting weird for some reason, especially when she's with you, and always makes things difficult for you. Tell me, where did you offend her? Yin'er thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out why.She wanted to tell Ping'er about taking care of Aunt Xiuzi's bath today, but she swallowed the words and changed another topic. Sister Ping!If you break the rules in the palace and are kicked out of the palace, will it hurt your family? It depends on what happened, offended Lafayette, or violated the Dafa in the palace, then it is hard to say. A few years ago, there was an eunuch surnamed Kou who did not know what happened. Not only did he kill him, but his family members Then he was put in prison, and even the person who sponsored him to enter the palace was unlucky!Ping'er suddenly stared at Yin'er, you ask these questions all day, do you not want to use this method to get out?I advise you to die of this heart! Sister Ping!How dare I have such thoughts, you have wronged me to death.Yin'er was very flustered when the other party told her about the secrets in the center. The two talked for a while, Ping'er blew out the lamp, and said to Yin'er: Go to sleep, tomorrow morning I have to get up to work.Yin'er still wants to talk to Ping'er.Miss Ping interrupted her, saying that according to the rules in the palace, after blowing out the lamp, she is not allowed to speak again. In this couch, Ping'er's words were orders, Yin'er had no choice but to shut up and stop talking. As soon as the lights were blown, it was surprisingly dark all around, and there was a light rain outside the window.Listening to the clear sound of rain, Yin'er opened her eyes wide in the darkness.People are lying on the kang, but their minds are full of thoughts like a wild horse running wild. She was still thinking about the topic just now.Since the day she entered the palace, she had thought about it more than once, that she committed some trivial crimes and was kicked out of the palace, so that she could not only be reunited with Rong Qing, but also be with her mother's family often.If that's the case, she won't have to live in fear in the palace all day, waiting for six or seven years.But the problem is not so simple, as Ping'er said, there is no big or small thing in the palace, it can be big or small, if it is not good enough, it will lose your head and affect your family.If it's a small matter, people take off their pants and spank their buttocks, not to mention the embarrassment, and they have to lock you in an empty room for several years. The more you want to go out, the more you will not be allowed to go out.She was lying on the kang, her head ached from thinking about it, but she couldn't think of a reason. It seemed that the only way was to suffer in the palace honestly until the day she left the palace. In the palace, everything is so orderly, and you live under the surveillance of others all the time, only this short time before going to bed belongs to you.At this moment, you are lying on the bed alone, letting your imagination run wild, even if you imagine yourself becoming a queen, no one will care about you.This space, this time, is entirely yours. She didn't know how long she had slept, when she suddenly heard a noise on the window, she opened her eyes in a daze, and in the rainy night, she saw a black shadow passing by outside the window, she couldn't help being startled.Instinctively, she stretched out her hand to grab the end of the rope, loosened the straps that bound her body, and sat up touching the wall, staring at the dark window.She couldn't see any movement outside, and she wanted to scream but didn't dare.After a while, she heard the sound of a piece of sand falling to the ground.Honor!She suddenly realized that it was him giving her a secret signal. She couldn't believe her ears, and she didn't have time to think about how he entered the palace. At this time, Rong Qing's voice came out of the window: Yin'er!Yin'er She hurriedly climbed down the kang, gently opened the corner of the rear window, and saw Rong Qing standing by the window in the dark, panting. Brother Qing!Why did you come here?She was trembling with excitement, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.She couldn't see what he looked like, but she knew it was him, his voice, his breath, including the smell from his body, even if it was burnt to ashes, she would recognize him. I entered the palace as an imperial guard and sneaked here to see you!Rong Qing grabbed her little hand lying on the window sill, and brought his face close to hers. She finally saw his handsome face clearly, his big eyes under his heroic sword eyebrows were shining in the night.He kissed her on the cheek.She felt her heart beating fast, and her figure melted away like a snowball.She wished she could jump out of the window immediately, fall into his arms, and make out with him to the death. At this time, there was a sound of clappers coming from a distance outside the palace.She suddenly came to her senses, thinking that this is the Chuxiu Palace where the old empress lived, she hurriedly waved to him: Brother Qing!You go, get out of here!If people see it, they will be beheaded! Not afraid, not afraid of beheading.Let me in, let me take a good look at you, I miss you so much I'm going crazy!Rong Qing grabbed Yin'er's hand. No no she lowered her voice in horror: You can't come in, there are people in the room! Then light the lamp and let me see you. No, once the light is on, it will alarm others, and if others find out, you will not be able to run away. Yiner!He said dissatisfiedly, I ran to see you at the risk, and I will not leave without lighting the lamp. Brother Qing!It's too dangerous!Yin'er turned to look at Ping'er in his sleep, grabbed the oil lamp on the table by the window and put it down again. Don't worry, light up the lamp, let me take a look, just take a look and leave.I beg you! Yin'er gritted her teeth, went to the kang table, took out the flint to start a fire, lit the paper medium, then used the paper medium to light the oil lamp, then walked to the rear window with the oil lamp in her hand, and brought the lamp to her face so that the other party could see her clearly . He fixed his eyes on Yin'er, and while he saw her clearly, she also saw him clearly.He still looked the same, his clothes were soaked by the light rain, and there were raindrops on his forehead.He was about to say something when suddenly the eunuch guarding the palace outside the window shouted and ran towards him.She told him to leave quickly, but he refused to leave, lying motionless with his hands on the window. Ping'er woke up and saw Yin'er lying on the window holding an oil lamp in his hand, he stepped forward and snatched the oil lamp from Yin'er's hand and blew it out: You are crazy, you don't want to live anymore! Brother Qing!Yin'er yelled out the window, hurry up!run! Rong Qing seemed to have regained his senses, turned around and knocked down a guard, and fled. Suddenly, many imperial guards came and surrounded him.He slashed wildly with his sword, trying to break out of the encirclement.Yin'er lay wide-eyed by the window, staring at this life-and-death struggle.No matter how much Miss Ping pulled, she refused to leave. She saw a guard aiming at Rong Qing's back with a bow and arrow.She yelled loudly, telling him to be careful, but just as she spoke, a sharp arrow pierced into his back chest impartially.Seeing him fell to the ground covered in blood, she instinctively let out a scream, and fell to the ground by the window Yin'er, Yin'er, wake up!Wake up!Ping'er heard Yin'er screaming in panic while she was asleep, lit the oil lamp, and found that Yin'er was sweating profusely, screaming indistinctly, and her body twitched violently under the bandages.Ping'er hurriedly loosened the straps that were tied to her body.Yin'er vaguely heard someone calling her.She opened her eyes and found that she was lying on the kang, and Ping'er knelt beside her, asking her to untie the bandages on her body. Yin'er suddenly sat up from the kang, staring at Ping'er and the dim yellow oil lamp in her hand with wide eyes in shock, trying to recall everything that happened just now, her heart shuddering. At this time, it was raining heavily outside the window, and the raindrops knocked on the tile eaves and the green brick floor in the yard, stirring up a frenzied noise.Listening to the sound of rain outside the window and the sound of wind passing over the roof, she knew that she was dreaming. Yin'er, seeing her staring eyes, Ping'er hastily wiped the sweat off her forehead with a sweat towel, you are having a nightmare again. Yin'er stared at Ping'er and didn't speak for a long time.Ping'er called her softly and patted her back.When Yin'er finally understood that all this was just a nightmare, she let out a long breath and wanted to say something to Ping'er.Her lips were trembling, she didn't make a sound for a long time, and suddenly reached out to hug Ping'er, her face pressed against Ping'er's shoulder, choking with sobs. The rain outside the window was getting heavier.
