Twin Brocade

Chapter 83
Fang Jinshu figured out the way ahead, and his confidence became more and more firm.Tang Yuanyao's situation became more and more desperate.

After the re-selection and examination, all the students, maids, servants, female officials, and lecturers of the Imperial College have dispersed.

After a short time, even the few cases and other items carried out were carried back to the classroom of the Imperial College by the palace servants.Several servants swept the examination room and cleaned up some scraps of paper.

During the whole process, there were people coming and going by her side, but no one ever looked at her or asked her a word.

Even Tang Yuanyao herself doubted, did she become an invisible person?These people can be so familiar with it.

She is certainly not invisible.

It's just that in the eyes of these palace people, she has been engraved with the words "offended Duan Cheng Princess".Compared with the honorable Princess Duancheng, the daughter of a mere official is more important, and everyone understands.

Because of the re-election of the school, the Imperial College will take a day off today.The rules of the Guozijian are very strict, and this rare opportunity, all the students in the supervisor took the time to go out and relax, and no one was left behind.

When the re-election was completed, only the shade of the trees was left in the huge Imperial College, which seemed empty.

After noon, only she and the maid who guarded her were left here.

Fortunately, it was autumn, and it happened to be cloudy. The sun was not harsh, and it was still warm on people's bodies.Apart from numbness in her knees and soreness in her legs and feet, Tang Yuanyao had no other physical discomfort.

She was weeping intermittently, wondering why today's plan failed and she met such bad luck.

The maid guarding her was a little impatient, seeing that everyone had left, she moved a chair out of the room, sat down comfortably, and said to her: "I advise you to save your energy, the time will be long."

It's only noon now, and there are still eight full hours until tomorrow's Mao.

Punishment to kneel may not sound like much, but it is actually a difficult punishment.As time goes by, the physical discomfort becomes more pronounced and the pain becomes harder to bear.

It was daytime at this time, and at night, the clothes on her body were not enough to resist the cold of the autumn night.

She reminded Tang Yuanyao that it was not out of kindness.It's just because Tang Yuanyao is the daughter of an official family after all, if something really happened, Duancheng Princess will naturally be fine, and she will take the blame.

But the truth of this, people who have not really suffered, will not understand.

Tang Yuanyao was often resentful, thinking that her stepmother treated her and her eldest brother badly, and never considered their future.

However, she is the eldest daughter of the Tang family after all.For the sake of reputation, her stepmother at most ignored her and never touched her half a finger, for fear of getting a reputation of being harsh to her stepdaughter.

So, let alone kneeling as a punishment, no one touched her with even half a finger.How could she understand the kindness hidden behind the maid's words?
She raised her tearful eyes, glared at the maid, and said, "What's none of your business?"

Under the watchful eyes of the public, she was punished to kneel by being made into a princess. Tang Yuanyao felt so ashamed and angry that she made such a big scandal.She vented her resentment on the only court lady who spoke to her.

Seeing that she didn't appreciate it, the maid didn't want to talk nonsense to her anymore.She wasn't the one who was punished, so why was she bothering?

It was already past meal time, and my stomach gurgled a few times.The palace lady walked to the gate of the Imperial College, handed a few big money to the middle-aged and middle-aged boys who were playing on the side, and asked them to go to a nearby restaurant to order some special dishes.

Guarding Tang Yuanyao was not a hard job, she dared to disobey the order and escape from the princess's own order?

This is not in the palace, as long as you have money on hand, it is rare to be able to relax for half a day.

At this time, there were no customers in the restaurant, and after a while, the waiter in the store came to the door with a food box.The maid rewarded him with some money, and asked him to set up a meal in the courtyard, pour tea, and eat on his own.

Tang Yuanyao felt hungry only after smelling the aroma of the food.

For this re-election, she got up early this morning and didn't eat much, just because she was afraid that her belly would be too full and her figure would be ugly during the test of manners.

She was hungry a long time ago, but she was patronizing and sad before.At this time, I was aroused by gluttons, and I couldn't control it, and my eyes almost burst into green light.

But she was kneeling on the ground, so she had to swallow her saliva and ordered: "Bring it to me."

The maid gave her a slanted look, unmoved.

Tang Yuanyao was furious, but at this moment the situation was stronger than others, she was so hungry that she had no choice but to soften her tone and said, "Please, sister, bring me some food."

The palace maid picked up shredded meat with her chopsticks, and said with a smirk: "Miss Tang, am I your maid?"

"I bought this food and wine with my own money. Why do you want to eat it?"

Tang Yuanyao relied on his father to barely have the qualifications to enter the palace for pilgrimage.But a lady from the official family who offended Princess Duancheng's experience in entering the palace will never be any better.

Such a person, if offended, will be offended, and the maid doesn't take it seriously.

Tang Yuanyao's forehead twitched wildly, if her maid was here, how could she suffer so much?

When entering the Imperial College, all the maids and servants stayed outside.But seeing that she didn't go out, the eldest brother should also inquire about what happened.

It's all this time, and no one has come in yet.Either they were stopped outside by the person who became the princess, or they heard that they had offended the princess, and they dared not come in for fear of causing trouble.

Tang Yuanyao felt pain in her heart, at this moment, she could only bow her head to this lowly court lady.

After thinking for a while, she pulled out the white jade bracelet with the Eight Immortals pattern, handed it over, and said, "I don't have any money with me, so I just use this to make up."

She originally intended to reward Wei Yixin with this bracelet, but who would have thought that her real identity would be the princess?
The maid glanced at the bracelet. Although the workmanship was exquisite, the jade material was really ordinary.She has seen countless good things in the palace, but she still doesn't like such things.

It is enough to pay for a meal, but how can such a rare opportunity be let go like this?

She stretched out her hand and gently pushed the bracelet back, saying: "Such a good thing, Miss Tang, keep it for yourself and enjoy it slowly."

This bracelet was indeed the least valuable jewelry in her whole body, and it was rejected twice in a row. Tang Yuanyao's face seemed to be on fire, scorching hot.

The smell of the food continued to drift towards her nose.

Tang Yuanyao gritted her teeth, pulled out a golden hairpin from her hair, handed it over and said, "It's all right!"

As soon as the maid's eyes lit up, the pearl inlaid on the head of the hairpin could be worth more than a dozen taels of silver, not to mention such exquisite craftsmanship.Immediately took it, put two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian, in front of Tang Yuanyao, and poured her a bowl of rice and a cup of tea.

Tang Yuanyao wanted to cry but had no tears when he exchanged for these two dishes with his most beloved pearl hairpin.
