The next morning, I had a new identity, which was a rank 9 position. I even gave him a place to stay in, which was in a corner of the Begonia Academy.
The Begonia Courtyard was not eye-catching at all, it still looked like a courtyard, with red walls, tall and big households of Zhu Men, and large trees planted within the courtyard. It was the winter season, and the Begonia was still sleeping soundly, only a few of them were Four Seasons Begonia, quietly blooming with pink flowers. The pale green leaves made the winter seem much warmer, and the Four Seasons Begonia grew in flowerpots, swaying in the sun, looking very beautiful.
The Begonia Courtyard was not very big as it could accommodate four masters. At the moment, there was only a fifth rank scholar in the palace, and on the left side was a fifth rank Lin Shangyi, as well as an eighth rank maidservant. No one knew what her name was, but the palace maid said that she was very sick and had been sent to the cold palace.
The two palace maids followed me in to greet the two masters after he gave them a place to stay. The two palace maids would occasionally remind me that I didn't understand the rules of the palace, and since I didn't have anything good to show for it, I could only take his white winter brocade robe to Syracuse. Actually, I really didn't like this kind of person, but I still like living by myself.
In the end, it was best to abide by the rules.
The red paint on the door had already begun to peel off slightly, and the table and chairs were covered with traces of time. The two palace maids supported the two of them before coming out, and I quickly bowed and looked up at her again. She had a pretty face, and there was still some charm in her eyes, but she was still very polite to me, and after receiving my salute, she asked the palace maid to reward me with some things: "If there's anything that little sister needs from now on, I'll send someone over to inform big sister."
Eyebrow look at me, with a few points of light burning, as if the Begonia after the winter, will welcome the beautiful flowers.
I submissively said, "Yes. In the future, if there are places that trouble you, please forgive them."
I don't like it, but I say it in a roundabout way, I comfort myself.
As for the fifth rank Lin Shangyi, he was the lucky one mentioned by the palace maid, and his mother had suddenly risen to the rank of the palace maid. She had also brought the best of her new clothes to meet him.
When she got closer, she could see that she was washing clothes with her stomach sticking out. The clothes in the winter were thick and not easy to twist and clean, and she was trying to twist them, her two small hands were red, and her face was covered with sweat, it could not be considered beautiful, but there were some red things floating on her face. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant with a baby, but her big round eyes were quite beautiful, and when she saw that I had arrived, she tried to squeeze out a smile, but also took the essence of a palace maid to quickly put down her clothes, and used her hands to wipe clean water on her clothes.
"My name is Yun Zhiqiu, I'm Lin Shangyi." He half bent down and saluted.
She blushed and said nervously, "Please take a seat. I'll get you a cup of tea." He hurriedly went back inside.
"I don't dare." I looked at her, a little sour in my heart. I handed her the clothes, but she shook her head with shock in her eyes. "How could I dare to accept such a good item? Zhiqiu, you should take it back and wear it yourself. Ai, what I mean is, mm, I'm sorry, I don't really know how to talk about it." She sighed deeply and lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
Her stomach wasn't big either, but she couldn't hide it either. She looked at me and embarrassedly smiled. "Sister Zhi Qiu, why don't you sit down for a while. The weather is finally clear today. I …" Then he looked at the pile of clothes on the floor.
I felt my heart ache. Ai, she also looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. She was only slightly older than me, but her suffering wasn't any less than mine.
She was only a fifth-grade noble, she was pregnant, but she did not even have a maid to serve her. She had offended Li Fei, so even if she was born a prince, she could only be like this for the rest of her life.
She picked up her clothes again and twisted the water so hard that her small hands were a little purple.
I put the clothes I was carrying on the stool, glad that the ladies at my side had not followed me as they cleaned up the new place. He stepped forward and grabbed the other end of his clothes, twisting the water in the opposite direction.
She looked up at me with some alarm. "Sister Zhiqiu, I can do it myself."
I smiled at her. "I've been doing laundry at the Palace for a while, and I'm good at it."
Her beautiful eyes darkened. She grabbed the clothes in my hand and said, "You can go back. This is not good."
He looked up at me and smiled. "Zhiqiu, my good sister, go back."
How could I feel? Once I entered the palace, I would be as deep as the sea.
I don't know how my life went, or perhaps it would end up in the cold palace, like the girls who used to live here.
If a beautiful woman died before she was old, what was the difference between here and the cold palace?
