Rarely, in the palace, the dragon and the phoenix get along with each other on the other side of the wall;
Sijun's daughter's heart was torn, and she accidentally surprised His Majesty.
At the cry of the eunuch outside the door, everyone in the palace rose to greet him. At the banquet, only the Empress and Zhang agreed, and once the emperor entered the palace, he walked up to the head of the court. Actually, according to the rules, whether it was the birthday banquet in the morning or the birthday banquet in the night, the empress dowager was not allowed to sit at the main table. Since the emperor didn't have any other concubines, the empress dowager made an exception.
"Chenqie wishes Your Majesty eternal life." Xuan Ye sat down, and the empress and Zhang agreed to congratulate him first.
"Empress, Zhang agreed to take a seat." "Thank you," Xuan Ye ordered, and the empress and Zhang took their seats after agreeing to thank him.
"Empress, it's been hard on you today. I'll toast you first." The empress was flattered and thanked him.
After the banquet, Zhang agreed to kneel and leave. From noon to now, at the empress dowager's place, he felt that the empress was far too polite and respectful towards the emperor, unlike the attitude a husband and wife should have. On the other hand, Zhang agreed to occasionally say something naughty and funny, sigh, no wonder the empress didn't show up, this kind of attitude, even the empress would feel uncomfortable, right?
Gai Rong'er and the other palace maids sent the emperor and queen back to the East Warm Pavilion. After that, Gai Rong'er was dismissed by Gai Xing'er. The older palace maids waited inside.
Today, there were six palace maids on duty, and coincidentally, she and Wang Jingzhi were not on duty. Rong'er walked over and sat beside her, but in truth, these days, Rong'er seemed to be quite happy to see Wang Jingzhi, who had already entered the Kunning Palace. It was just that she would occasionally stare blankly at her at night, as if she had something to discuss with her, and although they had entered the palace at the same time, she had never mentioned anything to her.
"Jing`er, do you have any thoughts on the future?" Gai Rong'er couldn't help but ask.
"Future? Rong'er, we are servants, do servants have a future? Do we have any use for the future when our masters tell us what to do? " Wang Jingzhi muttered.
"Jing Er, you have something on your mind, right?" Gai Rong'er continued his probing.
Wang Jingzhi laughed and said: "Rong'er, who doesn't have something on their mind? Everyone has their own thoughts. It's just that we can't control our own lives, let nature take its course. "
Before she had entered the palace, 'letting nature take its course' was her life's thought. She had Ama and her mother-in-law, who cared for her, and lived a stable and comfortable life day after day, letting nature take its course. She had thought that this was the fate of her life, and even when she first entered the palace, she had thought that it would be fine to let it take its course.
But after entering the palace, she saw what kind of power was in Auntie Xiao, what kind of bullying was in Su Ya, what was honorable in the empress dowager and empress, and what was the ambition of a lowly person in Zhang Shou. In the emperor's body, she saw — what was desire and desire. When she saw so much, was it indifference? Let nature take its course? Could her heart be so calm? She had been called 'Miss' by the maids at home, but in this palace, she was only a servant of the imperial family. No, she couldn't be indifferent. How could she be indifferent? Gai Rong'er bitterly smiled in his heart.
The cool wind of the early spring night assaulted his face, but it could not extinguish the dry fire in his heart.
The next morning, Xuan Ye got up and prepared to go to court. Gai Rong'er and a few palace maids were waiting by his side, and they looked at the emperor at such a close distance, but the emperor still hadn't seen her at all. Could it be that the emperor really didn't remember seeing her?
Thinking up to here, she felt a pang in her heart, forgetting what she was doing as she walked out of the house with a bottle of water in her hand. As she was thinking about how she had forgotten about the doorstep, she stumbled and fell hard onto the ground with her basin of water. Water splattered all over the floor, and Garion felt a sharp pain in his knee.
Rong'er's fall had stupefied everyone in the room. When they realized what had happened, they all kneeled down and said in unison, "Your Majesty, please forgive us." The empress knelt down and said, "Your consort did not properly discipline this servant. I was shocked by your presence, Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
Xuan Ye was obviously shocked. Who would dare to make such a loud noise like this when he was the pride of his youth and the servants in front of him didn't even dare to breathe loudly? Thus, he didn't reply for a while.
Gai Rong'er was also startled. Without caring about the pain in his knees, he immediately knelt down. As he knelt down, the pain in his knees grew even more intense. Gai Rong'er tried his best to hold it in, his expression didn't change as he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This servant deserves to die."
Seeing that Xuan Ye had not replied, the empress said in fear, "Chenqie will definitely be severely punished. Please forgive her, Your Majesty. Please spare her life."
He lifted his eyes to look at Gai Rong'er, and then remembered that he had seen her before when he had picked her. She also looked very pretty, and had even read and studied, but at that time, the Lingxiu who stood next to her was simply too beautiful, and because the empress dowager had previously said that she was taking the place of the two palace maids who had left before, he had chosen many of them.
Oh, get up. I don't think the empress need for this punishment. Next time just be more careful." He didn't know why, but Xuan Ye was actually a little reluctant to punish her. His fall just now should have been extremely heavy, but when she turned around and kneeled down to speak, his expression actually didn't change, and a servant who had committed such a big mistake would have long been scared to the point of being unable to speak in a calm tone. He was truly an interesting person, how could he not be afraid of punishment? There were too many people in the palace who were afraid of him. To meet such a person was rather amusing to Xuan Ye.
Everyone thanked him, and Gai Rong'er quickly cleaned up the basin and water. When Xuan Ye was ready to leave the palace, he glanced at Gai Rong'er, who was lying on the ground wiping the floor, and thought, "How can I use her for this?" Thinking of this, Xuan Ye laughed self-deprecatingly. "When did I, the emperor, manage the duties of a palace maid? Forget it, let's forget about it." When Xuan Ye left the palace, his eunuch shouted, "The emperor commands the Supreme Peace Hall."
After cleaning up the water, he went to the empress and knelt down in front of her, admitting his sin. "Rong'er was shocked by Your Majesty's words. Please punish me, my lord." The empress smiled gently and said, "Get up quickly. The emperor doesn't have an edict, so there's no punishment. It's not like I don't understand you. Your actions aren't like this. It should be an accident today. Just be careful next time." You don't need to wait on me. Go down and take a look at the injury on your knee.
A large patch of purple had already appeared on his knees. His right knee, which had been smashed so hard that it was bleeding profusely, had been used to treat his wound. This medicine was specially prepared for Su Ya's injury last time, who would have thought that he would also use it himself. As she sat on the bed, Gai Rong'er's heart was filled with grief. After causing such a disaster, the Emperor's impression of her must have been very bad. How could she have accidentally knocked over a water basin? She was never that careless.
Gai Rong'er was a very strong person. After entering the palace for so long, no matter how much pain he had to endure, he hadn't shed a single tear. But at this time, as he was thinking about this, unexpectedly, his tears quietly rolled down his face …
