Chapter 214 The ugly girl has no salt
The next day, Sun Zeyu went to court before dawn.

After breakfast, Xing'er and I waited for news in the side hall.

We were all smeared with brown chilblain cream, and we looked like actors with only half of our faces painted on.

Looking at Xing'er, I couldn't help but feel happy, but then I thought that this appearance was just temporary. If there were really scars, I would be embarrassed to see others.

Sun Zeyu found a curtain hat for me yesterday because he was worried that I would be embarrassed when I saw Mr. An today. But I thought, if Mr. An is really willing to come, then he will definitely mention me when he meets Wen Jin in the future. .

Wen Jin will feel more at ease knowing that my appearance is damaged.

So I simply didn't want to cover it up, and applied an extra layer of chilblain ointment on my face. Now it was better, comparable to an ugly girl without salt.

After I finished painting in front of the bronze mirror, I turned around and asked Xing'er: "Compared with me looking like this, or the fat girl in our village, who is more ugly?"

Fat Ya is a pretty girl from a landlord's family in our hometown. She is as fat as a rose and has extremely small eyes. She is about the same age as us, but she is a full head taller than us. When we quarreled with her, Xing'er and I could only see two of her. A big nostril.

Once I met Fat Ya on the street. Fat Ya was all dressed up and wore a gold walking stick on her head. It was shining gold in the sun and she was very beautiful. I looked at her twice and she became fierce. Said: "What are you looking at?"

Xing'er immediately became unhappy. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "What's wrong with you? Our eldest lady is willing to look at you. Why don't you secretly enjoy it? Are you still awesome? Can you try to be more awesome?"

Finally, the three of us had a fight. Xing'er and I were no match for her at first. She knocked Xing'er down with her fist, but Xing'er picked up the stones on the ground and threw them at Fat Ya. Ya covered her face and ran away crying.

Not long after Xing'er and I returned home, Fat Ya's parents came to our house.

My father asked Xing'er and I to kneel in the yard.

He and my mother apologized to Fat Ya's parents in the house.

I heard the fat girl say: "My girl has a good appearance, but if her appearance is ruined, how will she get married in the future?..."

I was suddenly shocked when I heard this, and quickly said to Xing'er: "What if Fatty's parents ask you to take responsibility and let you marry her, it will be terrible, and you can't beat her, she will have to beat you to tears every day." ." As I said that, thinking of that situation, I couldn't help laughing.

But Xing'er became really scared and said, "Give me a bag of gold, and I won't marry her! If...if I have to marry her, I will run away from home..." As he said this, he was really about to cry.

After that, Xing'er was worried for more than half a year, fearing that Fat Ya's parents would ask him to marry Fat Ya.

Xing'er was eating preserved fruit. When he heard me mention Fatty, he was stunned for a moment and said, "Why mention her? Bad luck! Can she compare with the eldest lady?"

I turned around, looked at the bronze mirror, and said, "Don't tell me, the fat girl may have lost weight now and become more beautiful. We look like this. We don't need to be pretentious to scare people. I don't care. What will you do in the future?" When it comes to marrying a wife, I might as well have agreed to this fat girl."

Xing'er took a breath and said, "Can we stop talking about her? It may not leave a scar. Is there no way to cure it?"

I said, "Let me try it when I get back."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door. Xing'er opened the door and Sun Zeyu walked in quickly.

He was still wearing court clothes, which showed that he came as soon as he got home.

"Eunuch An will be here later." He panted.

I suppressed the excitement in my heart and quickly gave a salute and said, "Master Sun is so kind and kind that I will never forget it. I will repay you someday."

"Girl...I'm serious, you can, you can think of me, I'm very happy." He looked suddenly shy and whispered. "It is a great blessing for Cirrus to have a friend like Mr. Sun in his life."

He lowered his head, blushed, and whispered: "The same is true for me..." After saying that, he glanced at the curtain hat on the table, strode over to take it, handed it to me and said, "An My father-in-law will be here at any time, you can wear this and I will go to the door to greet him."

Sun Zeyu left in a hurry. Xing'er touched his chin and seemed to be talking to himself: "Young Master Sun is not bad. If you say a few nice words to him, he will be nowhere to be found."

"Master Sun is a scholar, so I'm just being polite. Besides, I'm just saying thank you, what will it mean when it comes to your mouth?"

"How did you treat Mr. Sun in the past? Have you forgotten? You didn't even look at me. Now it's better. Mr. Sun has become Mr. Sun, and you just look down on him?"

I put the curtain hat on Xing'er's head and said: "Be a good friend, not a good friend. Remember, be more respectful to Mr. Sun in the future."

After about half a stick of incense, Mr. An came quietly.

When we were the only two people left in the room, Mr. An took off his hat and knelt down to salute.

I hurriedly supported him and said, "My little girl is just a commoner. Father-in-law, don't try to hurt me. Father-in-law, please sit down quickly."

After sitting across from Mr. An, he looked up and saw my face. No matter how many big scenes he had seen, he still looked surprised and blurted out: "Your face..."

I said calmly: "I came from the north and got frostbite. Maybe it will heal after a while, and maybe there will be scars."

"Oh." Eunuch An sighed slightly, and his tone returned to calmness: "Master Sun told me that an old friend wanted to see me. He said that the old friend once asked me to leave the palace, but he didn't make it. His surname was Shuangmu... I wanted to "How is this possible? But I thought of those rumors in the palace and came here quickly. It is really you, the girl."

"Aren't you afraid, Mr. An?" I asked.

"When the slave is where he is today, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, he just has to survive one day at a time."

"He will always let you live a long life."

Eunuch An laughed silently.

I said, "Eunuch An must also be curious about how I am still alive and got out of the palace unharmed? If I say that I want to leave the palace on my own, can I believe it?"

He nodded imperceptibly.

"But he refused, so I had to find a way to leave on my own before entering the Forbidden City. Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the palace, I was kidnapped by the evildoers. The evildoers found a female corpse, put my clothes on the corpse, and then destroyed it. Corpse, but in this way, I completely escaped. Just when I thought the sky was high and the sea was vast, I found that I had been trapped in someone else's trap. That person tried their best to make me give up my position. He So that I can support Concubine Ning to rise to power..."

"Master Jiang?"

"Yes." I said in a deep voice, "That's all. I wanted to go to the palace on my own, and he wanted to seduce people into the palace. I don't care about his ambitions, but he risked the lives of my Lin family in gambling. , I will never allow it."

"He threatened you with the secret that you are still alive?"

I did not answer, but looked at Eunuch An and asked him: "If Eunuch An can gain the trust of the Empress Dowager Xiaode, he must have served the present emperor, right?"

He sighed softly: "That was many years ago. The slave was still young. I don't know why he was involved in the crime and was about to be dragged down to death. Empress Dowager Xiaode was still Concubine Hui at the time. She couldn't bear the slave's unjust death. , begged for mercy on behalf of the slave, and asked the slave to serve Qian'er, the late emperor. At that time, the late emperor was still an unpopular prince, so the slave followed him. Until the late emperor ascended the throne, the slave also gained a reputation, but The servant has never forgotten the kindness of the Queen Mother Xiaode. The current emperor is the nephew of the Queen Mother Xiaode, so the Queen Mother asked the servant to deliver some news. How can the servant not do it? The servant has always known that the Sixth Prince is not simple, not a thing in the pond. I didn’t expect to be the emperor.”

I was silent for a while after his confession, and said, "Concubine Ning is not from the north. Her name is not Jiang Ning, her name is Lin Se, and she is the daughter of an aunt of my Lin family."
