maid's harem life

Chapter 48

Seeing her persistence, several people felt relieved and walked outside one by one.

Qingyin didn't knock on the door again, but just shouted at the door: "Lord Yao, the lunch is ready, servant girl is waiting for you to come out to eat."

After speaking, he stood upright at the door.

Inside, there was still no sound for a long time.

Ming Yao saw a woman's resolute figure on the palace gate, and after a long while, he didn't even move.

He knew Qingyin's stubbornness, and even more understood her stubbornness.

Ming Yao changed his clothes inside, and opened the door with both hands.

Hearing the voice, Qingyin looked over happily, only to see Mingyao walking out with his head down.

He stood in front of Qingyin, and when he looked up, he met her gaze: "Why are you here?"

Seeing that he was finally willing to talk by himself, Qingyin followed him and made gestures: "Yesterday, my servant saw you going out in a daze, and my servant followed behind..." She paused unnaturally, and then continued: "This morning , the servants are worried, so they come over to have a look."

Ming Yao listened, but his face sank ugly, and he asked again uncertainly: "You really saw it."

Qingyin did not suspect him, nodded and said: "I saw it, Lord Yao, what happened to you yesterday."

Ming Yao frowned, he took a step and walked down the stone steps.Seeing this, Qingyin hurriedly followed.

In the air in the courtyard, a little coldness fell, Qingyin stretched out her hand and opened it in the palm of her hand.She looked up in disbelief, and it turned out that snowflakes were falling.

Isn't it supposed to be warm spring in this dark dynasty?Why is it snowing now.

She didn't react until the cold feeling penetrated into her palm.

"It's the Chinese New Year." Ming Yao stopped and turned his face to the sky.

He didn't say, Qingyin didn't know yet.She stepped forward and stood beside Ming Yao, imitating his example and raising her head.

It was cold, falling on the cheeks, and when the wind blew, it was cold to the bone.

Mingyao was unwilling to mention what happened last night, so Qingyin's head turned to the side, and his gaze was fixed on the rosy blush on his neck, so shocking.She felt her heart was suffocated, she cleverly turned her head away.

"Lord Yao, let's eat."

Ming Yao glanced at the meal on the table, then shook his head.

He walked a few steps and leaned against the copper pillar beside him. Seeing his sluggish face, Qingyin felt more and more guilty.

Although, she also begged Hades and tried to stop him, but she just took all the faults on herself, maybe, she could be more persistent, maybe she could make Hades change his mind.

Although, that hope is slim.

Seeing Ming Yao like this, she hoped that he would smash things like he did when he came back, and don't see him like this, closing himself up even more.

Qingyin didn't know how to speak to break this embarrassing situation.It was Ming Yao who waved his hand and said, "Go down."

She felt stuck in her throat. In the past, Mingyao tried every means to keep herself a little longer, but now, even her only friend was excluded.

Qingyin's heart was inevitably sour, Mingyao didn't look at her, seeing that she was still here, there was an expression of impatience on his face.

She hesitated for a moment, but chose to go outside.

Behind him, Mingyao's eyes were full of complexities, until her figure was gone, then he turned around and closed the palace door, locking himself inside again.

Qingyin walked aimlessly, she didn't even look at the road, she just followed the movement of her feet and moved forward step by step.

In the corridor, the wind is biting.Accompanied by the snowflakes like flying catkins, the pieces are gradually stained with lead.Attached to Qingyin's hair and the corner of his clothes.

The spring spirit that had finally emerged was suppressed in an instant.

Immediately, there will be a vast expanse of whiteness, and even the warm winter sun will quietly recede.

As Qingyin walked, she didn't know how many courtyard gates she had passed, until, the familiar prosperity was gone, and what appeared in front of her was a desolate and lonely courtyard wall.

I don't know, I thought it fell from the sky to the ground.

Qingyin rubbed her eyes, then hurriedly turned around and looked around, she was actually standing in the middle of a yard, surrounded by dry weeds as tall as half a person, she didn't even know how she was here.

She raised her head, only to see two large characters, 'Lenggong', scorched on a crooked plaque.There is also a thick layer of spider webs on it.

Qingyin thought of the cold palace on TV, although it was not popular, it was not so dilapidated.Will anyone live here?

She leaned forward curiously, pushed the dilapidated door, and there was a very ear-piercing "squeak".The door was opened.

Inside, there was nothing, not even a stool.The huge outer hall was just vacant, and Qingyin stepped in, stepping on the dust all over the floor.

A small footprint was printed on it just like that.

"Is anyone there?" She looked behind her guilty conscience and saw that there was no one around her, so she boldly walked forward.

Walking through the outer hall, there is a courtyard in the middle, Qingyin walked around in a circle, seeing nothing unusual, then continued to walk backwards.

When we arrived at the inner hall, there are no maids and eunuchs guarding here, or are they not there?Qingyin thought to herself, then put her hand on the door of the hall, and pushed it away with all her strength.

"Ah..." She exclaimed unpreparedly, covered her mouth with one hand in a hurry, and suppressed the shout in her throat.

Inside, facing the door, there is a huge bronze mirror.At this time, a woman was seen wearing a black shirt, combing her long hair scattered on both sides.

That scene was extremely weird.

Hearing the sound, the woman didn't stop her movements. In the bronze mirror, she saw Qingyin who was full of fear at a glance.

"Hehe, there are still people coming here."

She smiled darkly, combing her hair once and for all.

Qingyin was sweating on her back from her laughter, but she didn't run away, but stood there dumbfounded.

"Which palace maid are you?" The woman put down the comb in her hand, she didn't turn around, but stared at Qingyin in the bronze mirror.

The two looked at each other in the mirror, after all, Qingyin couldn't match the sharpness in the woman's eyes, she turned her head to observe the room.

Inside the house, the furnishings are complete, but they are very simple, and they are not as dilapidated as the outside. On the contrary, there is a unique feminine aura that fills the nostrils.

The occasional gusts of wind are in line with Qingyin's imagined limbo.The woman stood up at this time, she turned around, facing Qingyin, was a pale and bloodless face, she had not seen the sun for a long time, even the beauty that should have been consumed in this cold palace Exhausted.

She walked in front of Qingyin, the corners of her skirt scattered to both sides as she walked, and the long hair hanging at her waist covered the woman's eyes, staring straight at Qingyin through the strands.

She raised her head and looked at the flying snow outside: "This year is another special year, just like ten years ago, the cold snow covered the entire Ming Dynasty, isn't it, something big is going to happen again .”

Naturally, Qingyin couldn't understand. She didn't even know who this person was. Judging by her age, she should be about the same as herself.

How did she end up here?
The woman put her hands on the window sill, eagerly looking out: "If you hadn't pushed that door open, I really haven't stepped out of this room."

I?Qingyin was startled, it seems that she should be some concubine of the Underworld Emperor, but she has never been mentioned before.

"I look forward to it day and night, but it's a pity that not even a bird can fly in, let alone a human being." The woman murmured sadly, as if she was talking to herself: "I promised you earlier. The people in the palace don't even have any news."

The woman raised her head, the white covering made her unable to open her eyes, her pupils hurt as if being cut by a knife, and even tears flowed down her eyes.

"You are." Qingyin blurted out, and when she wanted to take it back, it was too late.Those who entered this cold palace, even if they were abandoned concubines, might still be able to put themselves to death with a single word.

The woman froze for a moment, then showed her face and replied: "I am the emperor's concubine Liang."

Concubine Liang, Qingyin frowned and thought about it, she vaguely heard about it when the maids were chatting, she seems to be one of the four concubines.

"How did you get in here?" Concubine Liang seemed quite suspicious of Qingyin's arrival, she turned around and stared at Qingyin suspiciously: "Is there no one stopping you?"

Qingyin shook her head, along the way, she seemed to be sleepwalking, and she didn't see any guards and eunuchs at all.Now that I think about it, I feel weird too.

"Heh..." Concubine Liang laughed again, she covered the corners of her lips with a sleeve, but her eyes never left Qingyin: "How long has this palace been locked up here? Heh..., now, even the one who went out Road, this Palace has forgotten.”

Looking at her eyes again, there is no trace of a smile, Qingyin looked around, how many women's years have been wasted in this cold palace.

"Ben Gong, I really want to go out for a walk, see the outside world, take a breath, the outside air..."

Seeing her like this, Qingyin felt a tinge of pity in her heart, she didn't know what wrong Concubine Liang had done to be imprisoned here, she didn't even dare to think about such a day of being imprisoned alone.

"Go talk to the emperor for me, okay, let him let me go, I don't want to stay here, please." The woman's eyes were full of hope, she took Qingyin as the straw to save her life, and she held her fingers together tightly. Clutching her wrist, he refused to let go.

"Me." Qingyin was frightened by her sudden movement, she tried to struggle, but was caught even tighter: "The servant girl is just a maidservant."

"Then who is your master?" Concubine Liang leaned close to her, her eyes wide open, and the hair that hung on her forehead was scattered on both sides as she struggled violently.

"Nubi..." Qingyin put her other hand on her tight wrist, and pulled her body back vigorously: "Nubi is the maidservant of the concubine Yao."

"Yaofei." Concubine Liang let go of her hand abruptly, her face was stunned, her beautiful eyes widened, she slowly clenched her hands and covered her mouth.
