I’m Determined To Be the Dark Moonlight

"Are you really a monster?"

Gong Pei Nu thought so, and asked out stupidly.

Wei Ying was stunned, looked at her, and asked back with a smile, "What?"

Xiao Qianxue said unhappily, "What are you doing, who is the evildoer, and you are the evildoer!"

Gong Beinu: "You are the evildoer!"

Xiao Qianxue: "You are!"

...

The two people bickered face to face, like two competitive repeat chickens, repeating endlessly. Wei Ying interposed between them like a referee and waved: "Stop!"

The quarrel stopped in response, and the two repeating chickens looked at her in unison.

Wei Ying smiled and asked Gong Beinu, "Why, are you planning to send someone to arrest me?"

Gong Beinu widened his eyes and covered his mouth, "How, how did you know!"

Xiao Qianxue: ...I have never seen a bad guy who likes to blow himself up so much that for a moment, people wonder if she is acting in reverse.

Wei Ying lowered her head, the corners of her mouth turned up, and then she asked, "Didn't I find someone to prove my innocence that day? It was said that I was the reincarnation of a Buddha, or that I was a real immortal.

Gong Beinu scratched his head and blew himself up honestly: "But my sister thinks that what they are saying is a lie, and they can't beat you in a fight, so they are talking nonsense!"

After speaking, she looked up and down Weiying, trying to find some clues about the big monster from the girl. Is it the nine-tailed fox? Is there a big fluffy tail under the skirt?

Wei Ying turned around, her skirt swayed, walked to the red sandalwood chair and sat lazily, picked up the tea cup next to her, lowered her head and sipped her mouth, moistened her throat, then raised her head and said to Gong Beinu, "You are looking for people too. , the evildoer is also what you are looking for, in short, what you say is what, how can I have a defense?"

Xiao Qianxue nodded again and again: "That's right, I'll let you say whatever you want, just say it straight out of the way."

Gong Beinu stomped his feet: "Hey, you two, pay attention to your attitude!"

Wei Ying smiled, put down the tea cup, and the white porcelain saucer hit the table with a soft sound. She didn't care about Gong Beinu's angrily snoring over there, raised her eyes and smiled: "This is an attitude towards friends."

Gong Beinu was suddenly quiet and tilted his head: "Friend?"

This word was so strange to Miss Gong that she didn't have the heart to get angry and tilted her head to digest it for a while. She covered her chest and felt her heart beat faster, thumping, thumping, and a very happy emotion surged in her heart, like a gurgling stream, which was soft and cheerful at first, and then converged into rivers and seas, drowning her in it.

She frowned in confusion, and after a while, she pulled away from this strange emotion and said with emotion, "You really are a demon concubine!"

Otherwise, how could this happen, just one sentence stirred her mind.

Wei Ying propped her chin, looked at her and smiled: "Have you ever seen a demon concubine like me who is willing to help everyone and love everyone?"

Gong Beinu was speechless.

When it was time for dinner, Shi Pei came in and told Wei Ying and the others to go out to eat.

Wei Ying warmly invited Gong Peinu to join him, but Gong Peinu resisted as if he was furious: "I won't go! Did you poison the food?"

Xiao Qianxue let out a "hum" and took the lead in flicking the bead curtains and stepping out of the bedroom.

"If you don't go, you won't go. Who cares about you going. We can't get enough to eat with one more person."

When Gong Beinu heard her words, he immediately repented: "Then I'm going to eat!"

Just to keep you hungry, hum.

Wei Ying and Xiao Qianxue looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Xiao Qianxue continued to sing her face: "You are a real person. You even have to rob Leng Palace's meals. What can Leng Palace have? Isn't it all cold meals and cold dishes? You must be unaccustomed to eating them."

The crystal bead curtain spread out and made a crisp sound. Across the door curtain, Xiao Qianxue's back image was dizzy in the water, and it was distorted for a moment.

Gong Beinu frowned, hearing this, she should have been very angry, just like before. But looking at the back, she didn't feel much anger in her heart, and suddenly felt that maybe she didn't hate Xiao Qianxue that much.

It's strange, why did you dislike her so much before?

Wei Ying took the girl's little hand and took her outside: "Come and eat, cooking is the most important thing."

Gong Beinu pursed the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself, she is here to spy on information, and she sacrificed herself to be with the demon concubine, and her sister and aunt will definitely not care! Definitely not the food is too fragrant.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, small fried pork, scrambled eggs with green peppers, steamed eggplant, braised pork ribs with chestnuts and a plate of lily soup.

Gong Beinu: "Well, I knew you lied to me, and said that cold palaces are cold meals and cold dishes, and they are all hot."

And also very fragrant.

She bowed her head and took a big mouth to cook, she was puzzled. She used to hear that the cold palace was a very scary place, but now, looking at how good this place is, with delicious and hot food, why are everyone afraid of it?

Shi Pei rubbed his hands beside him and smiled. Originally, according to the rules of the cold palace, only two cold steamed buns were eaten. But last year, Yingguiren opened here for three months, and the palace people came to her for fortune-telling, and in return, they sent a lot of things.

Some of these things were sold by An Letang for money, while others were piled up in the warehouse and have not been used up yet.

In just three months, An Letang went from being a poor and cold palace to one of the richest cubs in the palace.

That's why the food is so good these days.

Gong Beinu didn't understand the inside story, so he took a spoonful of soup and said, "It's strange, Leng Gong's food is so delicious, what were you afraid of before?"

Wei Ying began to distribute chicken soup for the soul, "Actually, the cold palace is not terrible. What everyone is afraid of is only the fear itself."

This sentence is beyond the scope of Gong Beinu's understanding. She thought about it for a long time, "So the cold palace is not scary?"

Wei Ying nodded and concentrated on eating the ribs: "Well, it's not scary."

The ribs are fragrant and the chestnuts are sweet!

She thought of something, raised her head, and said solemnly: "But the main thing is to master a technique."

Xiao Qianxue nodded in agreement, "That's right! With technology, you can go anywhere."

Gong Beinu put down his chopsticks, propped his chin, and concentrated on discussing with them the secrets of survival in the cold palace and the guide to reemployment in the harem. Wei Ying and Xiao Qianxue have never been stingy people. They answered any questions they asked, gave them patient guidance, and shared their rich entrepreneurial experience with Miss Gong.

"So," Wei Ying wiped his hands and said slowly, "This is the best according to your own conditions. Is there anything you are good at?"

Gong Beinu thought for a while, and answered cautiously, "I-I'm good at spending money, okay?"

Wei Ying:  …

Xiao Qianxue raised her thumb, "As expected of you."

Gong Beinu was not convinced: "Then what will you do?"

Weiying: "I can tell fortunes."

Xiao Qianxue: "I have an ancestral plaster!"

Hearing their answers, Gong Pei Nu sneered disdainfully, but they were only low-level things, and they could only coax the uninformed eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Xiao Qianxue held back her temper and ignored her sarcasm, and asked, "What will Zhaorong do?"

Gong Beinu: ...

She will spend money.

Wei Ying bent her eyes and smiled, Xiao Qianxue also snickered with her lips covered, Gong Pei Nu slapped the table, stood up and said loudly: "Don't laugh! I can do everything, I, I can do everything, don't make fun of me!"

Wei Ying smiled and smoothed her hair: "Yes, yes, Zhaorong can do anything. I heard that all the girls have been studying female workers since childhood. This is also a great skill."

Xiao Qianxue echoed: "Yes, I haven't been able to embroider since I was a child. The embroidery needles always stick to my fingers. If the embroidery is good, it will be very powerful. In the future, Yingying will tell fortunes, I will sell plasters, and you can mend our clothes." She patted her chest and said boldly, "We'll raise you!"

Gong Beinu: "Hey, who wants you to support me, I'm a good embroiderer, and one piece of embroidery sold is worth a thousand gold, which is much better than yours."

After saying that, he twisted his **** and left angrily.

Xiao Qianxue spread her hands: "She turns her face and doesn't recognize anyone after eating, she really, sigh, I'm used to it."

Wei Ying smiled, and went out for a walk with Xiao Qianxue to digest food, and then started a day of business activities, helping the palace people in An Le Tang to tell fortunes, prescribing new plaster for the old maid with rheumatism, and squeezing it from the newly arrived maid. A small batch of points.

When the work is over, the two of them are paralyzed on the reclining chair, holding a cup of tea in both hands, watching the setting sun sinking in the sky, and showing a smile of returning to their happy hometown

Thinking of the daytime conversation, Xiao Qianxue said, "Yingying, do you really think she can be a female worker? This eldest lady doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, so she definitely won't know anything."

Weiying smiled and took a sip of tea: "It's all forced out. Now she has everything in the palace, and she doesn't need to learn anything, but if she goes outside in the future, she may not have a bad life."

Xiao Qianxue pouted.

Wei Ying turned her head to look at her, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Qianxue continued, "You speak for her again, you always help her, hmph, Yingying has changed her mind, Yingying used to dote on me."

Wei Ying smiled, rubbed her, and rubbed the girl's pink cheeks red, before letting go, and said with a smile, "I'm still pampering you."

Xiao Qianxue tilted her head and pouted, "Yingying doesn't even allow me to sleep with you, and she said that I would crush your wings, but it was alright before. She sat so close to you just now that she didn't crush you. wings?"

Wei Ying was silent for a moment, raised her hand and patted her little head, and had no choice but to agree to sleep with her tonight, but in her room—otherwise the emperor might come and bump into her.

Xiao Qianxue succeeded in winning Yingying's favor, and she was so happy that she bloomed in place, and ran back to her room with a smile to prepare, leaving Weiying to sit alone in the sunset.

Wei Ying was holding the tea, watching her jumping up and down happily, thinking silently, how to arrange the time tonight, Xiao Qianxue's bedroom is not far from her bedroom, if the emperor comes over, she can stabilize first The emperor coaxed her to sleep, and then ran to Qianxue's room to coax her to sleep, running over like this, it should be... not revealing the contents, right?

Alas, trying to become a master of time management every day.

Xiao Qianxue packed up her things and jumped out happily, "Yingying, do you really think what will Miss Gong do? I don't understand, she is so bad, she thinks about dealing with us all day long, why are you still so kind to her? "

Wei Ying raised her eyes, did not answer her question, but smiled: "How about a bet? She will come back to me tomorrow."

Xiao Qianxue: "No, she doesn't come here often, and she doesn't hate cold palaces, she always says cold palaces are vulgar places."

Weiying: "Make a bet?"

Xiao Qianxue thought about it and nodded with a smile, "Just bet!"

As for the bet, they all shared things with each other. They couldn't think of what to bet at the moment, so they kept it for later, saying that the loser in the future should promise the winner one thing, regardless of conditions.

Xiao Qianxue clapped her hands: "Okay, can I watch Yingying dance the goddess?"

Wei Ying shook her head: "No promise."

In the middle of the night, Wei Ying was still worried about how to allocate time, but when it was very late, the emperor still did not come.

She was lying on the bed, with Xiao Qianxue breathing evenly beside her, sleeping like a picturesque face.

Wei Ying looked at the shaking candle, thinking that she didn't have to become a time management master tonight, she should have felt relieved, but for some reason, she was a little lost. Xiao Qianxue slept well, she would not touch her quietly in the middle of the night and hug her, nor would she sleep in her sleep at midnight, all she would call Yingying.

Wei Ying frowned, slowly closed her eyes, lay down for a while, and didn't fall asleep. When she heard the clatter of horses' hooves, she woke up in the middle of the night.

The cold wind poured into her robe and blew her jet-black hair.

She raised her head in a daze, and the cold raindrops hit her face. She shook her head for a moment, only to realize that it was raining.

The sound I heard in my dream was not the clattering of hooves, but the raindrops hitting the window.

An autumn rain and a cold.

Heaven and earth are immersed in the cool breeze and the twilight rain, soaked in the cold water vapor. Weiying held the lamp in her hand, and the dim light only illuminated a short distance. She tilted her head and listened to the rustling rain. After a long time, her throat was a little itchy, and she coughed in a low voice.

After standing for a while, Wei Ying returned to the bed, her hands and feet were cold, and she didn't want to get close to Xiao Qianxue to wake her from the cold, so she curled up pitifully in a corner, unable to help thinking, if the emperor was here, he would definitely entangle her right away. He came up and hugged her, dispelling the chill around her.

The next day, Xiao Qianxue pushed open the window and saw the ground was wet, and said in a daze, "Did it rain last night?"

Weiying wrapped herself into a ball with a quilt, the tip of her nose was red, and nodded: "Yes, it's raining."

Xiao Qianxue smiled: "I slept so hard last night that I didn't hear it, Yingying hadn't slept yet?"

Weiying lowered her head in a guilty conscience and rubbed her nose.

Fortunately, Xiao Qianxue changed the subject, leaned against the window, and said almost with certainty, "Look, it's raining, Gong Beinu will definitely not come, you lose the bet."

As soon as the voice fell, a familiar voice came from outside the door, accompanied by a banging sound: "Hey! Open the door!"

Gong Beinu not only came over, but also brought an embroidered item, which he threw onto Weiying's bed with a snap: "Look, this is my embroidery, isn't it much prettier than yours?"

The two mandarin ducks are lying on the snow-white silk cloth, and the embroidery is very exquisite.

Weiying smiled and coaxed her: "Is it embroidered by Zhaorong? It's so beautiful."

Xiao Qianxue also expressed admiration: "Wow, so beautiful, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."

Gong Beinu proudly raised his chest, "Hmph, I said I would."

Wei Ying found a reason to let Xiao Qianxue go out, yawned, put on her clothes and walked to Gong Beinu, and extended her hand to her.

Gong Beinu's eyes widened, not knowing why: "You, what are you doing?"

Weiying: "Let me see your hand."

Gong Beinu put his hands behind his back and said in a panic, "What are you looking at, what are you looking at?"

Wei Ying didn't allow her to resist, she directly pulled her hand to the front, lowered her eyes, and then fell silent. Gong Beinu's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and the small hands are fleshy and soft when pinched, but the tips of the fingers that used to be as white as jade now have many small wounds punctured by embroidery needles.

Wei Ying:  …

Gong Beinu's eyes were full of tears, and he bit his lip and did not speak.

The lie just now has nothing to hide in front of these wounds. An old hand who can embroider such a good-looking mandarin duck will definitely not have so many new wounds on his hands. She lowered her head, like a pupil who did something wrong, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Wei Ying didn't say anything, took out the medicine box from the drawer, and gently rubbed the crystal white ointment on her fingertips.

Gong Beinu's tears fell and she whispered, "That, it was embroidered by my sister."

Wei Ying said "um" and asked, "What about your own embroidery?"

Gong Beinu pursed his lips, raised his black and moist eyes, glanced at her, lowered his head again, and reluctantly took out another handkerchief from his sleeve.

Wei Ying glanced at it, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up - the mandarin duck embroidered by Gong Beinu himself does not look much like a mandarin duck, but a bit like a creature from outer space. She pursed her lips, took the handkerchief and admired it for a while, then said with a smile, "Isn't this embroidered very cute and very creative, the mandarin duck before was so much the same, you are more interesting."

Gong Beinu raised his eyes and asked with tears in his eyes, "Really?"

Wei Ying is serious: "Really, I want to frame it and hang it on the wall to enjoy it every day."

Gong Beinu quickly refused: "No, no," she paused, as if afraid of Wei Ying's loss, and added: "But I can give it to you, you can keep it for you to enjoy secretly, I embroidered it overnight."

Wei Ying smiled and put away the handkerchief.

Gong Beinu sat on the bedside, looked at her, and suddenly asked, "Hey, are you going to this autumn hunt?"

Wei Ying turned around, "What?"

Gong Beinu thought for a while, then slowly said, "Aren't you going?"
