"Xiao Ai, esteemed Jade Concubine wants to drink water tonight. You can wait on your own."
"Oh." "Yes," I said, getting unhappily out of bed.
If I want to drink it, who's going to pour it for me? These imperial concubines, ah, it's like my parents gave birth to them and did not have the strength to give them a cup of water. Filling them with a cup of water is a problem, just like being a cripple.
Did esteemed Jade Concubine do something shameful that requires me to keep watch? Why, afraid that ghosts would come knocking on my door. I was very unwilling. I sat by her door and looked at the moonlight. My heart was filled with worry for Mo Li. If I left him, would he miss me?
Maybe not. But Mo Li, I miss you so much. I don't know if it's right or wrong to leave you, but there's no room for me to regret.
The palace is very lonely, no one spoke to me, they saw me, they all ordered me, the palace is beautiful is the space is too stifling too lonely, the flowers are like brocades, not as fragrant as the hibiscus into the autumn, lanterns delicate, not as beautiful as that small black oil lamp.
Over the years, even when I was injured and curled up licking my wounds in the dark, I had never felt so lonely as I did tonight. I walked up and down in the moonlight and watched the shadows jump after me.
"Stupid girl, pour some water for me. Where's the water?" Roaring curses and a few coughs came from the palace.
I walked in and was met by the teapot. Luckily, I was able to catch it quickly, or else it would have smashed me right in the face.
"Damned girl, damnable servant! No one has ever taught you how to serve a master before, and you're just slacking off! As servants, you bewitching servants, even if you're a lowly and noble servant, you'll never be able to escape the fate of a servant."
Exporting filth is even more powerful than me, isn't that just swallowing it? He was even spitting curses.
I rolled my eyes. "Do you still want to drink water?"
"This Concubine naturally wants it."
"Then shut up." I can't stand it. No wonder no one came to serve her. Isn't it just a matter of water?
"You dared to order me around. You must have eaten the guts of a leopard. Ah, you simply don't put me in your eyes."
I left, too lazy to deal with her.
The last thing I want is to fight in the middle of the night, or I'll kill you. Of course I don't take you seriously, you're not Mo Li, I have no love for women.
He took the kettle out and didn't want to walk too far, so he squatted down in the pond and filled it for her to drink. She didn't say much.
In Liangcheng, all the women who could not be pampered by men had their heads and tails tucked under their tails while she was rather arrogant.
She was sitting at the table, fuming. Her beautiful eyes were glaring at me.
"The water is coming." "No," I said.
She motioned for me to pour it for her, so I poured it for her. She picked it up and drank from it, then smashed the glass on the floor. She became flabbergasted again, pointing at me and scolding, "You damned slave, do you want this concubine to die and actually give this concubine some cold water?
"Even if you want to die, I don't care. Do you want to drink or not?" I won't keep you company.
"You … "You really want to anger this concubine to death." Her face changed in anger.
"If you are willing to let me die from anger, there is nothing I can do." I gave a loud humph and left her in a daze. There was no one around her who could control me, so what could I do?
But the next day, I was warned.
"Although you were pointed over by Eunuch Zhou, master is always master, and servant is always servant. No matter if you serve a favored concubine or an unfavored concubine, you have to be respectful to master, understand?"
"I don't understand." I coldly snorted and said, "I don't believe that this servant will always be this servant."
"This is your life. You are the life of a servant." She was so angry that her face darkened.
I rolled my eyes at her. "You accepted your life as a servant, that's your problem. You personally saw your identity as one, but I have no objections. My life, I want to do whatever it takes. I don't like you being a servant."
"You, you, you …" You want to piss me off. "
"I don't care if you die." I still say that.
She was on the verge of vomiting blood. She was walking away with her back to the wall, and she had no way to fight back, let alone punish me.
No one could defeat me when I was so angry at them for not giving up their lives. In fact, I didn't want to do that either. My heart was so troubled that they kept on coming to teach me a lesson.
