chapter 73
Life in the palace was very different from what I had imagined.

When I was a child in the brothel, I occasionally heard girls talking about the life of the ladies in the palace. They said that the girls lived in gold houses, wore silk clothes, and a waffle on their hair could buy our entire store. There are countless servants who travel on weekdays.

Actually not.

The houses in the palace are also made of wood, but they are more refined and elegant, and they also wear ordinary clothes on weekdays. As for the servants, I only see Aunt Fanghua and two or three familiar maidservants every day, but I don’t go out.

If you have to say it, it's like a prison cell with better conditions.

As for the emperor, it was quite different from what the girls said, "Sangong Sixth Court hugs Ye Yushu girls from around the left and right".

In addition to going to court every day, the emperor reads books, which is very boring.

It can be seen that the emperor's situation is not very good, both the former court and the harem can be regarded as perilous.

She didn't even dare to let me leave Yichun Palace.

I can feel the emperor's hesitation.

She felt that she was not worthy of being an emperor, and she was not good at being an emperor.

But in my eyes, she is the best emperor, a good emperor who can speak for us ordinary people.

I am very glad to follow her into the palace.

God gave me a chance to be with her and guard her.Perhaps, this is also the mission God gave me in the dark.

Your Majesty stays with me every night, soon, rumors started to appear in the palace.

Although Aunt Fanghua stopped the servants from chewing their tongues, I still heard a thing or two.

They said that I was a demon concubine of unknown origin, who had bewitched His Majesty.

The way the palace people looked at me gradually changed, from initial curiosity to envy and jealousy, just like the girls in the brothel used to look at the oiran butterfly.

I can't help but feel a little funny, and a little secretly happy.

The emperor is really good to me.

I was even thinking about what kind of expression the Young Master would have if he heard that the little emperor he liked was pampering me alone in the harem.

Somewhat unimaginable.

I once heard from Uncle Hu that the Shaodong family worked in the Taiqing Pavilion, and they were officials who impeached and advised the emperor to correct his words and deeds.Presumably he will also give advice to the emperor to keep her away from me, the "demon concubine".

Who would have imagined that one day my young master and I would become such rivals in love?
I feel sorry for the young master.Because I feel that the Young Master's thoughts for His Majesty may only be unrequited love.

Your Majesty has never mentioned the name of the Young Master's family in front of me.

I have observed carefully, and the name His Majesty mentioned the most is Gu Shihai.

I think Gu Shihai is also on her mind every day.

When I first entered the palace, I was worried that if I was not careful one day, I would slip up and expose the identity of His Majesty's woman.But later, I found out that worrying was completely unfounded.

From head to toe, His Majesty did not look feminine at all.

So much so that I began to wonder if the young master really liked men.

It wasn't until the Shangyi Supervisor sent His Majesty the gown for the engagement of the Empress, and I looked at the bright red wedding dress, that I suddenly remembered that Your Majesty is a girl.

A girl from an ordinary family, at this age, should be washing, sewing, cooking and making clothes for her husband or sweetheart.

Even when I was 16 years old, I spent my shame secretly thinking about my young master.

However, His Majesty's 16 years of age were spent in a battle of wits and courage with these old men who were full of hearts.What she was always looking at was 47-year-old Gu Shihai; what she was always thinking about was 62-year-old Wang Jijiu.What she wears is the dignity of the royal family; what she carries on her shoulders is the life of the common people.You can't be picky about meals, because you are worried about being poisoned.Don't dare to lose sleep at night, because you have to go up to the court with full energy the next morning.

There are 360 ​​five days a year, and there is no day to rest and take a breather.

I suddenly felt sorry for her.

It's absurd to say that I, a commoner woman, would feel sorry for the emperor, dare to feel sorry for the emperor.

But when I saw her busy with court affairs with all her heart and soul, and deployed the power in her hands with all her heart, I felt that this throne was not a shackle, and she was going to be imprisoned on it for the rest of her life, as "Ye Qinghuai". go down.

I dare not ask her if she has regretted it, if she has ever hated it, I dare not discourage her, and dare not hold her back.

So I chose a gentle way of asking, and I asked her if she had a favorite man.

His Majesty did not answer me directly, but replied: "What's the use of liking? Liking is the most useless."

The sense of powerlessness in the words makes people despair.

I suddenly wanted to do something for her.

But I'm just a "demon concubine", I can do too little.

What I can do is probably to cook a few more braised beef for her.

March [-]th was the day when Lin Yuxiu and the others made an appointment to play the Dengwen drum.

Your Majesty got up very early, and I know she has this matter on her mind.

I watched her go out all the way, she didn't look back when she left, her back was determined, as if she was about to go to the battlefield.

I looked at her back and had a bad feeling.

Soon, this premonition came true.

While I was cooking meat in the kitchen, there was a sudden commotion in the yard.

I came out of the door and saw that the courtyard was full of imperial guards wearing armor and swords, and Aunt Fanghua was arguing with them.

"Your Majesty Lan, your Majesty expects me to come and fetch the jade seal." Seeing me, the imperial guard saluted, his tone of voice was as cold as his face.

The few of them looked unfamiliar, and I felt that the matter was not simple, so I asked to see His Majesty's handbook.

In fact, I don't know where Yuxi is.

I just want to know if they are His Majesty's enemies.

The other party couldn't produce the handbook, so he directly ordered a search of the palace.

I knew that these people came with bad intentions.

"Yichun Palace is where His Majesty stays, who of you dare to search?" I stopped them from moving.

But there are too many people on the other side, and I can't stop them all.

After a while, they searched the palace all over.

After searching the houses, everyone shook their heads at the leader.

The team leader frowned, looked me up and down, and said, "Mr. Lan has privately kept the jade seal. I'm afraid I'll invite you to come with us."

Just as I was about to speak, two imperial guards escorted me from the left to the right and walked out of the palace.

Aunt Fanghua and the maids in the palace yelled and slapped them, but they were just doing nothing.

I was dragged and dragged away.

"I am a nobleman personally appointed by the emperor, how dare you hold your nobleman hostage?" I protested loudly, hoping that someone would hear me.

But the entire harem was empty, and there was no one there.

"Gag her mouth, don't let her kill herself by biting her tongue."

After the leader gave his orders, a piece of cloth was stuffed into my mouth.

I could no longer make a sound, and was escorted all the way to a small door.

I looked up and saw three large characters written on the plaque——

Department of Punishment.
