I am cultivating myself in the palace

In Cuixi Palace, Shi Yunyue personally served tea to Qingyan, seeing Qingyan staring at her face rather impolitely, she was not angry, and said with a faint smile: "You must have scared the princess."

Qingyan bit her lip, at that time in Nuan Pavilion, she heard the doctor said that the bamboo palm was very powerful, she didn't know why.I saw Shi Yunyue today to know what those words mean--I saw that Shi Yunyue's originally fair and condensed cheeks are now covered with black, purple, yellow, and bloody marks, and some places even look like subcutaneous necrosis Like a festering gray-white, the woman's once bright and dazzling appearance has now become like a ghost.

"How did it become like this?!" Qingyan was still a little concerned about Mu Zheng's protection of Shi Yunyue. She told Xiao He that she was going to see Shi Yunyue on the way. The bruise on the woman's face was so startled that she forgot it, and only anger remained in her heart: "Didn't the queen send someone to treat you?!"

Didn't Empress Ji promise that she would take care of her concubine? Just now she said that concubine Shi is doing well!Can she live a good life like this?

Seeing Qingyan's face full of anger.Shi Yunyue hurriedly said: "Princess, don't be in a hurry. The Empress has always ordered the Imperial Hospital to treat the concubine. In the past few days, the concubine has been cared for, and the concubine has recovered a lot... As for this face..." She raised her hand and stroked it gently , subconsciously turned his gaze away: "It's just a concubine?? Accidentally ate the hair, which caused the wound inside to bulge. It looks a little scary..."

Eat hair?Qing Yan frowned.Her gaze was full of suspicion -- Shi Yunyue didn't seem to be such a careless person, and the injury was on the cheek, which is a key place. Ordinary people know how to be careful when it comes to diet. How could she have eaten hair by such a coincidence?Could it be that she wasn't careful, but someone tampered with her food?Qing Yan narrowed her eyes: "Are you really careless?"

Shi Yunyue lowered her eyes, and said softly: "It's now... What's the point of asking whether it's true or not." She avoided answering like this.Sometimes it's more convincing than being outspoken.As soon as Qingyan heard this, she had an answer in her heart, and she was furious immediately: "Did Concubine Rong do it? It must be her, this vicious woman! Let's go, I will take you to find the empress right now, and I will definitely ask you for it." statement!"

"The concubine can't do it." Shi Yunyue grabbed her and said sadly: "Please don't make this public, concubine, concubine... really scared..."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and the hand holding Qingyan's lapel couldn't stop shaking.Qingyan froze immediately, looking at Shi Yunyue's painful appearance, she couldn't help feeling annoyed in her heart - she was impulsive again, she had learned the previous lesson, but she still wouldn't think about it from Shi Yunyue's perspective, even if What if the queen really punished Concubine Rong?With the favor of Emperor Yin and the emperor's heir, the punishment is not painful at all, but Concubine Rong will definitely put the blame on Shi Yunyue, and I don't know what vicious tricks will be used to retaliate afterwards Shi Yunyue must have been terrified in her heart, so she would rather endure it than provoke that person again.

Thinking of this, Qingyan felt rather uncomfortable: "What is the empress doing, she clearly promised me to protect you..." Would the empress not know about such things?I'm afraid she knew this, but she still turned a blind eye.

Shi Yunyue shook her head: "Please don't criticize the empress, the empress has always cared for her concubines, she also has her own difficulties, how can such baseless things make the harem uneasy." She spoke with a sad tone: "Besides, the doctor just said that the concubine...is not in danger of life, which is already excellent."

These words are really euphemistic. In fact, the doctor said bluntly at the time that the face of the concubine may be ruined. Even if the carrion is dissolved and the blood is gone in the future, there will be dents and plaques on the face to varying degrees.There are many women in the harem, and in order to win Emperor Yin's favor, they all compete for beauty. Their appearance is the foundation for them to settle down. Even if they are beautiful, they may not be favored.Not to mention ugly without salt?What's the difference between ruining a concubine's face and killing her?

The so-called no fear of life means that Shi Yunyue can only linger on in the future, and never want to make a difference in the harem!Qingyan naturally knows the power of this, especially she has seen with her own eyes how glamorous and dazzling the noble concubine in her previous life is, but she has ended up in this field in this life.I feel very sorry in my heart.

No wonder the courtyard is so deserted, and there is only Xiao He as the maid.Shi Yunyue has become like this now, even if she is a concubine, she can't be favored by the emperor, and the queen's protection for her is really limited, and there are many snobbish eyes in the harem Well, who doesn't want to eat and drink with his favored master, so naturally he doesn't want to stay with this disfigured concubine to live a hard life.

How is this Cuixi Palace different from the Leng Palace?

Qingyan felt rather uncomfortable. Shi Yunyue's ending up in this field had something to do with her. It was she who underestimated the cruelty of the harem struggle, and naively thought that with the queen around, everything would be safe: "You...ah..."

She didn't know how to comfort each other.Instead, it was Shi Yunyue who comforted her: "Princess does not need to worry about concubines. As the saying goes, good and bad depend on each other. Although concubines are in catastrophe now, you don't know that there will be no good news, no..."

Shi Yunyue shook her head suddenly, and looked out the window, Xiao He was busy in the yard, the girl was innocent and lively, but she was a bit clumsy, she didn't know what trouble she had caused, she was in a hurry, Yu'er couldn't see it by the side.Walking over to help, the two girls were very lively.Shi Yunyue just looked at it like this, chuckled softly, and said softly in her eyes: "Now... it's a blessing. The concubine has this clean world and Xiaohe's company, and she is already very content."

Qing Yan was taken aback.She just felt that the Shi Yunyue in front of her was somewhat similar to herself, why didn't she think that Leng Yuan and Yu'er were enough.

"It's rare for you to think like that?"

Shi Yunyue smiled shyly: "To tell you the truth, my concubine lives more easily now than when she was still beautiful. This palace is as deep as an abyss, and many people are trapped in it. Concubines firmly believe that human nature is inherently good. , and it's not born like this, but it's not easy to survive in this palace, and it changes without knowing it, so this catastrophe, for concubines, may not be a bad thing."

Qingyan's eyes lit up, Shi Yunyue's words coincided with her empress' state of mind, and she couldn't help feeling more fond of her, as if meeting a bosom friend: "Mrs. I really admire it."

Shi Yunyue quickly waved her hand: "Don't dare to be praised by the concubine, the concubine is the one who admires the concubine. You are upright and kind, and you are free and easy. When you encounter injustice, you act out of righteousness. You are just like the heroes of the rivers and lakes in the storybook!"

Qingyan was so embarrassed by her praise that her face turned red.

Shi Yunyue saw it, and suddenly sighed: "To be honest, my concubine is really envious of the empress, who can have a righteous sister like a princess. There are only brothers in my concubine's family, and I have never had sisters. After entering the palace, people around It's called sister and sister, but it's just superficial. When the concubine died, there was such a huge palace, and none of the so-called sisters had a heart, concubine... really concubine..."

As she spoke, tears came down suddenly, and she quickly turned her head away: "The concubine made the concubine laugh again." Qingyan also sighed when she saw her appearance, Shi Yunyue looked only seventeen or eighteen now, When encountering such difficulties, it is normal to be puzzled for a while, so he walked over and hugged her shoulders, and patted her on the back.

Shi Yunyue took advantage of the situation to bury her head, and said in a low voice, "It would be great if Yunyue also had a younger sister like Wangfei?"

Qingyan was taken aback for a moment, Shi Yunyue quickly backed away when she saw this.Wipe away tears: "I see that the concubine is confused. You are the righteous sister of the empress, the wife of King Yan, and have a noble status. How can you be the concubine's sister? The concubine just feels that she is congenial to the concubine. I really like it in my heart. I can't help it for a while." Please don't take it to heart, Princess?"

But since she said this, Qingyan will inevitably think about it——to be a sister with Shi Yunyue?It doesn't seem to be impossible? To be honest, she also admires Shi Yunyue's character and strength of character. The two have such similar views on world affairs, and both have hermit thoughts. Such a fit is really rare.She recognizes fake sisters like the queen, why can't she recognize Shi Yunyue, a real sister who suits her taste?

Immediately, he patted the table: "Mistress, your proposal is very good, Qingyan is willing to become a sister with you!"

"Really?!" Shi Yunyue showed joy on her face, then hesitated and said, "But where is the Empress?"

"These sisters are not sisters." Qingyan blinked playfully, "with the empress, Qingyan only wants to be a sister in the harem, and with the concubine, but she wants to be a sister in the boudoir."

Tears welled up in the concubine's eyes again, she held Qingyan's hand, and said sincerely: "My concubine is really a kind person. You and I just met by chance, but you are willing to speak out for the injustice encountered by my concubine, and even more so for my concubine." An Wei took great pains to plan, great kindness and great virtue, a concubine can never repay her, but now she is favored by you and married to Jinlan, what a blessing Yun Yue has been cultivating for several lifetimes!"

After the conversation was over, both of them became happy, and immediately called Yu'er and Xiao He in, saying that they were going to hold a sworn ceremony, which made Yu'er stunned for a while, and Xiao He was so excited that he rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find incense candles Then, Qingyan directed Yuer to set up a simple incense table. There were no three animals to sacrifice, so he barely set up a few plates of fruit and refreshments to make up for it. I barely made a small incense table after a busy day, and now Shi Yunyue has a face injury and can't drink alcohol, so the two of them used tea instead of wine, blood as a pact, and respected the heaven and the earth, which is considered to be a formal vow.

A few years older than Qingyan, Shi Yunyue became her elder sister.But in fact, Qingyan's body is the soul of her previous life, so she is naturally older than Shi Yunyue, who is less than 20 years old, but she doesn't care about it.The two maids went out to clean up the mess, and Zhang Luozao prepared side dishes to celebrate, and the two sisters went back to the house hand in hand, and their relationship became much closer. Qingyan only knew at this time that Shi Yunyue was also forced into the palace as a concubine.

Emperor Yin likes to make balances. After he came to power, he supported many upstarts. In order to maintain the glory of the family, the older generation of rich families could only send their daughters to the palace to please the emperor. All the women in the family have become victims of the family. The glory of a lifetime is tied to the rise and fall of the family, so they can only work hard to live as pawns of the family. Shi Yunyue is also such a victim.

"Most of the women in this world can't help themselves." Shi Yunyue's eyes were mournful, and she sighed: "The so-called desire to have one heart and one heart, never leave each other. After all... it's just a big dream."

Qingyan's mind moved slightly when he heard it, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of Mu Zheng--

"Senior Sister? Do you know Lord Yan?"
