The maid is the queen

Chapter 18 The Nobility's Daughter
There are still unwritten rules in this palace. The female officials in the palace naturally ponder what the emperor likes.If the newly selected show girl wants to be favored by the emperor, and then leave the show girl and go to the position of beauties and talents, she has to curry favor with the female officials.

Of course, the power is strong enough, and the female officer personally urged me. People like me don't fight for it, and don't pay tribute. The female officer and the maid will ignore me.

Lu Yao sat on the opposite bed, biting a fruit and hugging his feet, and said narrowly, "Zhiqiu, just wait and see, there are more than 100 beautiful girls among us, the emperor will only take a fancy to a few, at most, There are only a dozen or so, but this year is different, you see, Shangguan Hong, Su Xianger, Qiao Feng, and Mu Liang, which of them are not from the background."

I shrugged: "Hehe, I don't know them well." She knows everything.

"Zhiqiu, are you familiar with the capital?"

I shook my head: "Not very familiar." On weekdays, I have to take care of my mother, go to Tianyun to learn piano, and go to Yang's mansion to be a girl.

"I like making friends like you!" She said with a hearty smile, "If we both leave the palace, I'll take you to eat the stewed duck on Qingxi River and the bad chicken at Zuizhuxuan."

"You have a good life outside, but once you enter the palace, you look listless. As for me, I will definitely leave the palace."

She sighed heavily: "I don't know, really, Zhiqiu, it seems that I can't get out of the palace, but I will try my best to get out."

"Why?" Lu Yao looked ordinary, and she didn't want to please those female officials.She also said that the ones appointed by the emperor are too few.

She said lightly, "My hunch."

Looking at me, she smiled again: "Do you know what I've learned? I've learned fortune-telling, but I'm half-accurate, and sometimes I'm pretty accurate. What about my father, he wants me to participate in the draft. This is not my original intention, but as a member of the Lu family, many things are unavoidable. Do you know what is called aristocratic life? It is in the deep boudoir every day, learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and walking what others have planned for you Lu, I'm an outlier in the Lu family." When she said this, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

He still smiled at me: "I have traveled almost all over the southern area, and I fell in love with that kind of wandering life."

Is it love?Why is it not a kind of longing, the sadness in her eyes is getting stronger and stronger.

Everyone has their own stories and their own sorrows.

I didn't ask her deeply, I lit the lamp at night, each of us meditated, and spent the night in a strange palace, no one could fall asleep.

She said that she was the daughter of a nobleman, but she was very peaceful and easy to get along with, and she didn't have any aggressive aura.What she has experienced and the places she has traveled are farther than what I can see.

In the silence of the night, only the wind carried the fragrance of red apricots across the wall, bringing long chimes of bells.

"Can you sleep?" She raised the curtain to control her head, her long black hair was draped over her thin arms, and her jet-black pupils were extraordinarily bright.

"I can't sleep." "Oh, me too, or, let's break the rules, do you dare?"

At the very beginning, I just wanted to break the rules. Isn't that very sorry for Zhang Xibao's money?
However, I really do think so.

I couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning, and I wanted to go back.

"Don't scare you, I just want to climb the tree to pick the red apricot, I don't know why, the more I look at it, the more I like it. It makes me sleepless, and it is waving at me. Zhiqiu, you go with me Okay, if you are caught, I will not confess you."

I got up and put on my shoes: "What's the matter?" But that red apricot was always in my mind, watching Lu Yao climb a tree must be very interesting.

The two went out through the window, and there was a small garden full of purple flowers, bunches of which were still blooming beautifully under the moonlight.

I tiptoed gently through the garden, and arrived under the palace wall, but the tall red apricot plant was so smooth that there were no branches.

"Or, let's shake it to see if we can shake it down." Seeing her perplexed face, she might not be able to climb the tree.

"Hehe, Zhiqiu, you are so cute, okay, just shake it, it's okay to shake all the strength out of your body, and when you wake up, it's better if it's just a dream."

It's really rare to see a noble daughter like Lu Yao.

Let's look at those in the uppermost court, all of them are served by maids, as if they have become some kind of beauties.

He shook it vigorously, but he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting the maids who were watching the night in the front yard.

The rattling trees, but none of them fell.

Tired and panting, she sat on the ground with her back against the red apricot tree, and said sadly, "Thank you Zhiqiu, I feel so good."

"Get up, didn't you say that you would take me to play in the future? I, Yun Zhiqiu, have no parents, but I have a friend, which is very happy."

"Zhiqiu, it's great to feel the joy of life in your eyes."

I stood up and held out my hand to her: "So what if it's not good, I think my parents will see me happy."
