The punishment of the female imperial court

When Ma Jian met Lin'an for the first time, he had just arrived in the capital.

He was only 12 years old at that time, and it was only half a year before the death of the king of Wuwei County. In order to find another way out, his family had to send him to Beijing, and found a job in the Imperial Guard.

However, the gentry in the middle of the capital do not like them outside the capital, even if he is from the Prince of Wuwei County, even if the Prince of Wuwei County has just died for the country, in the eyes of the gang of dudes in Beijing who have never seen blood, they should always be inferior .

He has to do even the hardest and most tiring work.

For example, the inner palace came to report that Princess Lin'an was lost.

The majestic Daming Palace, but the officer only sent him to look for it.

But in order to survive, he must obey wherever there is a destiny, not only obey, but also do well.Only then can the day of success be found.

It's just that she didn't expect that Princess Lin'an was even more unpopular than the rumors said.The maids in Furong Palace who should serve her asked all kinds of questions, except for the boss who ordered him to go find someone immediately, no one knew where the princess often went.

He walked aimlessly in the inner palace.

Furong Palace is located in a remote place, usually there is no one to see, only one or two birdsong can be heard occasionally, the chirping is clearer and more pleasant, it is singing the praises of freedom.It reminded him of his hometown in the desert where the yellow sand blows with the wind, a place he would never return to in his life.

In fact, it is a beautiful thing to have the opportunity to walk around so casually, to relax wholeheartedly, without having to fake smiles in front of people.

Until the sound of birds chirping one after another, sobbing mixed with it reached his ears.

It should be an irritable sound that destroys harmony, but because of the woman's deliberate suppression, it is as clear as the wind, and together with these pleasant chirps, it forms a movement.

He paused slightly, but finally couldn't bear to interrupt, and quietly turned into the garden, brushing aside the wild grass up to his waist, a girl with a simple bun and a half-old light yellow palace dress hid herself in the grass, with her back on her back. Leaning against a tree, I don't know what I'm holding in my hands.

Thin and pale, every outline of the side face is clearly outlined, which seems to have been carefully carved for emphasis.

The goose-yellow palace dress is full of wrinkles, and the tender color has dissipated, more like a pile of rice paper that has been soaked in rain and dried by the scorching sun.Even the supposedly exquisite embroidery looks like it was written on by a drunken person with a pen.

"Who?"

As if aware of the abnormality, she looked over blankly, like a frightened baby rabbit, but it was the weakest one among the baby rabbits.Because of his thin, pale, palm-sized face, those tear-filled eyes were particularly eye-catching.

He had no choice but to come out from the hiding place, knelt down and said: "See Her Royal Highness, Ma Jian, a low-ranking imperial guard, is here to look for Her Royal Highness."

Seeing the stranger, she leaned back again, as if trying to hide herself in the tree trunk.

"Are you here to look for me?" She bravely asked with a trembling voice of fear, and there were still a few tears on her cheeks.

He frowned, feeling unspeakably uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, her life was worse than the rumors.Her Royal Highness, the princess, is so afraid of a guard.Or is she afraid of everyone in the palace?

He couldn't help but asked in a soft voice: "Why is Your Royal Highness here, is she hiding from someone?"

She felt a little relieved because she felt the concern in his words, but as soon as this was mentioned, she bit her lower lip, and tears filled her face again.

Trembling, he stretched his hands out an inch: "It has no home. Its mother doesn't want it anymore."

Today, as usual, she hid in a secluded place in a daze, trying to avoid those malicious scrutiny and teasing, as well as those palace people's pushing and bullying.

Unexpectedly, a dying young bird was found under the tree.

She tried to climb up the tree and put the bird back in the nest, but before she could get down from the tree, she watched the big bird push it out of the nest.

A bird as light as a feather didn't even make any movement when it landed on the ground.But it still hit her heart hard.

Why doesn't Big Bird want it anymore?It was just born, how could it not be qualified to live?

But what can she do?Take this bird back?I can't even eat enough, and I am often bullied by others. Taking it back is just adding a life.

So she wanted to accompany it through the last journey, but seeing it gradually disappearing in her hands, she still couldn't help but want to feel pain.But she knew that she couldn't cry aloud, if someone found out, the little bird would suffer accordingly.

Even though Ma Jian had heard about Lin'an's life experience and experience, he never expected that the princess of Dasheng would live such a life.

But even if it is so difficult, he will be cautious and give everything for a little bird.

He changed from kneeling to squatting, and took the baby bird in Lin'an's hand. It seemed that it had not been born long ago. It was a small black-gray bird, like a mud ball with a few fluff randomly stuck on it. It was as light as nothing, but it made him feel the heaviness of life for no reason.

Even if it is shaded by trees and the sun is scorching, it doesn't have much breath.

Lin'an didn't dare to refuse, but looking at this person's expression, he also had some hope for some reason.I hope he is not the people she met in the past, who will crush this bird.

"How?" She summoned up her courage and asked earnestly.

Ma Jian raised his head and smiled lightly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I have a way to save it."

With one hand, he took out the lambskin pouch he carried with him, pulled out the stopper with his teeth, poured a few drops of water on the palm where the young bird was placed, put some on his index finger, and brought it to the beak of the young bird, and saw it weakly He opened his mouth and pecked his fingertips lightly.

The fine numbness and itching made him laugh unconsciously.Sensing that Lin'an seemed to be staring at him blankly, he felt that it was a bit impolite, so he blushed slightly and handed the bird over: "Princess, do you want to try too?"

Seeing his palm approaching, Lin'an subconsciously dodged back like a frightened bird, but after seeing his smiling face, he also imitated his appearance, tentatively stretched out a finger, touched his palm, and moved closer. to the beak of the young bird.

Then he "giggled" and laughed.I think she also experienced the wonderful feeling of numbness and itching, but what was even more amazing was that she felt the attachment from the young bird during the pecking.

Ma Jian saw her smile for the first time.On the face where only those big eyes could be seen, there was a hint of pink, like the tender pink clouds before the dawn of the Golden Crow on the Star Reaching Tower, dazzling and brilliant.

And the part of the palm where her fingers touched lightly, it seemed that a bird was pecking lightly, which made him feel itchy, but he couldn't help laughing along with her.

"Thank you, Ma Jian." She blushed and lowered her head, but she looked lonely for some reason.

This was the first time someone in the palace was willing to help her.

But just like Princess Changsi who only enters the palace once in a while, how long can they help themselves?
In the end, isn't he alone?
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. If Your Highness trusts you, you can hand over this bird to him. He will definitely take good care of it."

"Really? That's great!" Before the tears dissipated, his eyes suddenly lit up, like the first sun in the water, and the sparkling light made his heart seem to be rippling in circles.

"Then can you bring it to visit me often in the future?" She seemed to be looking forward to it, but also seemed to be afraid, she was still trembling slightly, and even the old clothes were rustling.

"It's natural, this is the princess' little bird, I will definitely bring it to visit the princess often, and let the princess know how it is doing."

This sudden beauty and kindness overwhelmed her, as if she was afraid that he would disappear suddenly, she suddenly grabbed a part of his sleeve and asked, "Why are you so kind to me?"

There was also a moment of confusion on Ma Jian's childish face.

Why are you so nice to her?He couldn't figure it out either.

Just meeting for the first time, just business.

Maybe it's because she is in a miserable situation, but she still has good intentions and is willing to give everything for a little creature.

There are also those faint sympathies that are as indifferent as insects.

She is a princess, she should be the place of dignity under one person and above ten thousand people.But living such a dry life in this prosperous world full of flowers.

"Because you are a princess" he had no choice but to say, looking into her eagerly expecting eyes.

Because she is a princess?
She was momentarily dazed and puzzled.

But it was precisely because she was a princess that she encountered so much.

Rejected by his mother and bullied by the palace people.Isn't it because she is a princess?
She thought that this identity was the most despicable existence, but why would someone treat her with such kindness because of this identity?
"You are so strange."

When Ma Jian brought her back to Furong Palace, she sat by the pond and recalled all this, looking at the reflection in the pond that moved slightly with the waves, she couldn't help murmuring.

I don't know who it is for.

Sitting here in the past, she never wanted to jump off.

But she dare not.Although the mother has passed away, the mother still has family members outside the palace.In this deep palace, it is really too difficult to die unknowingly.

Every time when she was about to die of illness, the group of people would find the imperial doctor to give her medicine to hang her life.Whether it is a sharp weapon or a blunt weapon, it is usually only seen when others use it to bully her, and she will never touch it by herself.

So, she thought more than once, if only someone pushed her from behind when she was sitting by the pond.She can leave this frightening place without any scruples and with peace of mind.And her mother's family outside the palace will not encounter any accidents because of herself, who has never met.

But today, when she saw her own reflection in the pond clearly, she panicked and stepped back a few steps.

If you accidentally fall, you will never see the little bird again.

He will definitely take good care of it.He would, he promised himself.

He also said: "Because you are a princess."

"Because you are a princess."

Later, Ma Jian often said this to her.

When I met her under the tree with the growing little bird, I said so.

As he allowed himself to set the grown bird free.

Said so when bringing her exquisite and delicious snacks outside the palace.

He also said the same when he gradually gained a foothold in the Imperial Guard and began to protect her.

But the last time, when he wanted to take her away, she was the one who said this to him with tears in her eyes.

"Because I am a princess."

So I can't abandon the duty of the princess and just leave so irresponsibly.

"It's hard to sit in the emperor's position. He has no choice. I'm his elder sister. I can't leave him alone."

"Then have they ever cared about you?" Those courtiers, those aristocratic families clamoring to send her thousands of miles away, have they ever helped you?Have you ever lived a life as dark as you used to be?
After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, she couldn't protect herself for a while, and the occasional favor could not help her.

"Although you are a princess, you have never enjoyed the dignity that a princess should have for a day. Why are you being used now, and you are pushed out to fulfill their world hegemony?"

So, he won't allow it, he won't let them push her from one cage to another.

What's more, getting married is not that simple.Someone has already found him and forced him to do it with family members.

But he couldn't tell her that she was so weak and white, she shouldn't have polluted her ears and let her know the filth and dirt in the court.

He was afraid that when she heard that she was in danger, she would seek His Majesty's help, which would make her even more dangerous.
