The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 202 How is life outside? (2)
Zhao Jing got up from the cold gold and stone floor, blessed her body in front of Empress Dowager Wei's back, and turned to look at Chunxiu.Chunxiu slightly shook her head towards her, waited for the Queen Mother to go far away, then left the hall with Zhao Jing, and sent her to the door.

"I won't send you there, let the little eunuch at the door accompany you there." Chunxiu took Zhao Jing's hand, with a look of sadness in her eyes, and asked Zhao Jing, "How are you doing outside? Looks very energetic? Has your brother and sister-in-law found you a husband's house?"

Zhao Jing didn't want to reveal the matter between herself and Xu Si'an, but she thought that when Xu Si'an won the victory and returned to Beijing, their marriage would always be announced to everyone, so she didn't hide it from Chunxiu, she just smiled and said: "Anyway, there will always be such a day, wait When the time comes, you will know, but it's a pity that we old sisters can't have a drink together."

Chunxiu listened, twisted her veil and laughed, and asked Zhao Jing which family she was from, but Zhao Jing blushed and refused to tell, she was not angry, and just sighed: "As long as you can live happily, that's fine." gone."

Most of the palace maids who enter the palace are from poor families, and the price of selling them to the palace is slightly higher than selling them as slaves to ordinary people, and there is a rule that they can be released when they reach 25, so some families are willing to sell their daughters to the palace. .It's fine if you've been working diligently as a handyman, but what you're most afraid of is Zhao Jing and the others who have come to the forefront. Although they are more respectable than other servants, they are always on tenterhooks.

"You were able to leave the palace in the old year, why didn't you go back then?" Zhao Jing didn't like to gossip, but seeing Chunxiu like this now, she must be envious of the life outside.

"I'm not as loving as you are. I only have two younger brothers who are not good enough. Now I can fool some people by taking advantage of me as an errand by the Queen Mother. If I go out, I'm afraid they just want to sell me again. What about silver!" Chunxiu smiled bitterly when she said this, and said: "I am not as well-looking as you, but someone wanted to ask me to be a concubine in the old year, who do you think? It's Jing The old man Guogong, Mrs. Jing Guogong is so powerful, and the queen mother is still a sister, I am the queen mother's person, if I really go, I don't know how I will die in the future!"

Zhao Jing had never heard of these things before, but now that Chunxiu talked about it, she realized that it was a big deal for every court lady to leave the palace. Chunxiu saw Zhao Jing's surprised appearance, but she laughed first. He waved his hand and said: "The queen mother pretended to ask me, I resigned at that time, and expressed my attitude in front of the queen mother not to go out of the palace. Rather than going out and dying, it is better to die in the palace."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at Zhao Jing, took her hand and said: "You have survived, the regent and the emperor are protecting you, and your in-laws may not dare to bully you in the future."

Zhao Jing didn't know how to comfort Chunxiu for a while, so she took her hand and said, "Although the empress dowager is sometimes a bit temperamental, she is quite generous to her servants. If you want to leave the palace, just be careful and watch out for it." If you let him enter the palace to beg you, the Queen Mother will definitely be beautiful as an adult."

Chunxiu nodded, and in the blink of an eye the two had arrived at the gate of the palace, and Zhao Jing followed the little eunuch at the gate to the imperial study.She used to walk this road several times a day, but it was a bit unfamiliar to walk this time.She really left the palace, and her heart has already taken root outside.

When Zhao Jing arrived at the door of the imperial study, she could no longer go in and out at will as before. She stood under the red rhinoceros and waited for the little emperor's summons. The new maids in the waiter crowded at the door to watch her. She didn't know what they were talking about. But it looks like there is a bit of envy on the expression.

Zhou Yi wants to accept himself as a righteous sister, but Zhao Jing thinks this is a bit ridiculous. Does he know what he is doing?Marrying a princess from the previous dynasty is not counted, but also accepting a remnant from the previous dynasty as a righteous sister?He really is...

Just when Zhao Jing felt that he was a little unreasonable, the door of the imperial study room opened, and the regent came out of the palace wearing a black python robe with two dragons playing with pearls.

"You came."

When Zhao Jing heard this voice, she withdrew all her thoughts and squatted down to salute him.She didn't look up at Zhou Yi, the noon sun was a bit dazzling, and Zhao Jing couldn't open her eyes, but the feeling of light on her back still made Zhao Jing feel a little uncomfortable.

"Since you like Xu Si'an, you can't become a concubine in his house. As the regent's sister-in-law, you can probably change the position of the royal family for you." Zhou Yi said coldly, with a bit of bleakness in his words. He saw Zhao Jing Still squatting to salute, he reached out and held her delicate wrist.

Her wrist is so slender and graceful that with just a light grip, she can be pulled back into his arms.He dreamed countless times that he rescued her, hugged her tightly in his arms, and lingered until death, but when he woke up, there was only a cold quilt and a woman who had completely forgotten himself.

Some things, once you give up once, there is no chance to return it.She is thinking of herself now, but the two of them can't go back in the end, he should learn to let go, however, his heart still hurts like that, even more painful than the ten years of waiting.
