I am cultivating myself in the palace

When Qingyan left Cuixi Palace, the sky was already a little dark.

The palace lanterns of the palaces and courtyards were hung up. If one looked at it from a height at this time, the palace in the evening must be full of red clouds and fluorescent light, against the afterglow of the evening, there is a special sense of heaviness and loneliness.

The gates to and from the palace began to become bustling, and the princes and ministers who were ordered by Emperor Yin to come to the celebration banquet brought their female relatives into the palace one after another.Most of them will go directly to the Qingchun Hall where the palace banquet is held, and some will go to the Chengqian Palace to discuss government affairs with the emperor first, while the female relatives will go to pay homage to the empress or go to the familiar concubines. It became lively.

Shi Yunyue personally sent Qingyan to the gate of the palace.He ordered Xiaohe to bring a lotus palace lantern and handed it to Yu'er: "It's getting dark soon, Wangfei, please take this palace lantern. The stones on the palace road are uneven, so if it's bright, you can walk more safely."

Qing Yan thanked him.Yu'er over there took it as she said. The palace lantern was small and exquisite, hanging on a long string, with a sandalwood handle attached to one side.The other end hangs at a height of half a foot from the ground, just enough to illuminate the bluestone ground at your feet. At this moment, there is still afterglow in the sky, and the brightness of the palace lanterns is not bright. When it is completely dark, the effect will be great.

Qingyan liked it, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't give it away, go back quickly."

Shi Yunyue shook her head, rather worried: "Let Xiaohe take you there, the Qingchun Palace is a little far away, and the princess doesn't know the way, what if you go astray?"

Qingyan could send the injured Xiaohe there, and hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, didn't my sister tell me the route just now, besides, there are so many eunuchs and maids in this palace, if you really can't find them, Qingyan just grab one Come and lead the way."

Seeing her like this, Shi Yunyue didn't force her to do so. The two sisters stood and said goodbye. From a distance, they saw a few women in imperial court clothes, led by maids, walking slowly, to see which palace's female relatives should be in that direction. Going to pay respects to the queen, when he passed by, the other party's eyes subconsciously glanced at Qing Yan and the others standing at the door, his eyes fell on Shi Yunyue's face, he immediately turned into astonishment, until he walked over, he would look back from time to time.Whispers came faintly--

"Did sister see it? That person is also a concubine?! What happened to her face?"

"Shh, keep your voice down, I guess, [-]% offended some high-ranking empress. You're being punished! There shouldn't be too many such things in the palace..."

"Then the attack was too ruthless. If I were beaten like this, I wouldn't dare to look in the mirror. I'm afraid I'd have to cry every day. Do you think the emperor can be lucky with her?"

"It's still lucky? When I opened my eyes in the middle of the night, I probably thought it was a female ghost from somewhere!"

There was a burst of laughter, and out of the corner of Qingyan's eyes, she saw Shi Yunyue lowering her head.The pair of bare hands in front of him trembled unknowingly, and Xiao He blushed even more with anger.

Qingyan frowned fiercely, and was about to raise her voice to reprimand those wives, when Shi Yunyue suddenly stopped her, and the woman mourned: "Princess...forget it..."

"But they really deceive people too much!" Qingyan couldn't help being angry, how could these people have no compassion at all?As women, we should understand women's suffering more, how can we make fun of other people's pain?

"It's just some stupid talk. It's fine after you've heard it once." Shi Yunyue twitched the corners of her mouth: "Since the concubine has become what she is now, hearing similar words makes my ears callused, and I don't care anymore. Princess don't mind."

Qing Yan's eyes turned cold when he heard this.This is an understatement, but the pain inside makes people realize that it is difficult after thinking about it--I don't know how Shi Yunyue survived these few days: "Master sister suffered..."

"A concubine is not bitter." Shi Yunyue lowered her head and raised her hand to caress her ugly cheek: "You can understand fate, life and death with a single face. How can you say bitterness when you see the warmth and warmth of a person's heart?"

"Senior sister's generosity and heart are really admirable!" Qing Yan praised.

Shi Yunyue hastily waved her hand: "I made the concubine laugh, and the concubine can't do anything about it. Now that her appearance has been destroyed, she can no longer recover. This life is doomed to be lonely and old, so I can only think about it. Fortunately, the concubine has Xiao He as her companion. Today I became sisters with the princess again, chatting for comfort, and I can spend my remaining days."

Looking at Shi Yunyue's clear and sincere eyes, Qingyan was quite ashamed in her heart. She subconsciously touched the small porcelain bottle in her sleeve, only feeling that she was very unnatural - she clearly had something in her hand that could restore Shi Yunyue's appearance things, but hesitantly because of his own selfishness.Fortunately, she also recognized Shi Yunyue as a boudoir sister. Good sisters naturally have the same blessings and difficulties, so she cruelly took out the small porcelain bottle containing Wan Lingsan in her sleeve and handed it to Shi Yunyue.

Yu'er next to her was in a hurry, and rushed over with a stride: "Miss, no!"

Qingyan was angry and annoyed, it doesn't matter if this girl is not big or small, but she didn't feel proper in front of Shi Yunyue, her face sank immediately: "Bring it here."

The servant girl knew that she was angry, and bit her lip for the last struggle: "Just... even if you want to give it, you don't have to give it all, right? You still have to use it yourself..."

Qingyan snatched it back: "You can give me what you want for my concubine's things! Is this something you can control?" Saying this, she gave Yu'er a sharp look, and the maid opened her mouth.What did he want to say, under Qingyan's stern gaze, he didn't say anything, but he still looked at the porcelain bottle unwillingly.

Shi Yunyue watched her master and servant arguing, not knowing why: "What is this?"

"It contains a blind medicine called Wanlingsan. It is crushed and applied externally with water. It has a miraculous effect on healing bruises and trauma." Qingyan said, removing the forehead guard, revealing the gauze-wrapped wound for Shi Yunyue to see : "I accidentally knocked my head two days ago, tried it out, and the effect is not bad, but my sister's face injury is much more serious than Qingyan, I don't know how effective it will be? In short, it's better to try than not to try."

"Wanlingsan? But the Wanlingsan that is rumored to be able to dissolve putrefaction and regenerate muscle, and beautify the face?!" Shi Yunyue's eyes lit up.

Qingyan was ashamed when he heard it, it is true to transform decay and regenerate muscle, but what the hell is beauty?She was a little surprised that Shi Yunyue, who is the daughter of the capital, would know about this medicine.

Shi Yunyue coughed and explained: "The concubine once saw it in the ancient books and strange stories in the study of my ancestors. At that time, she thought it was very magical, and thought it was something imagined by the ancients." When she said this, she quickly pushed But: "This precious elixir, concubines dare not take it, please take it back!"

Now that Qingyan has taken it out, there is no reason to take it back, even though it hurts, she pushed it over: "Qingyan knows that my sister doesn't care about this, but this is Qingyan's little wish, so you can accept it, and use it with you." It doesn't have to depend on my sister's wishes."

"No, no, I really can't have a concubine..." Shi Yunyue let her go back.

Qingyan pushed again.

Shi Yunyue let it go again??

In this way, he gave up twice more, when Qingyan got impatient and thought that since you don't want it, then forget it, Shi Yunyue accepted it.

Qingyan: "??"

Shi Yunyue was sobbing: "The concubine is so kind, why does the concubine want to repay her?"Qingyan stared at the small porcelain bottle she held in her hand--you let it go again??

There is no need to let it go, Qing Yan can only laugh at the water that was thrown out, look away, and say something like sisters, you are welcome, it actually hurts badly.The two chatted for a while, and finally said goodbye, Qingyan led Yu'er to the Qingchun Palace, along the way, the master and servant both had serious faces, and the atmosphere was dull.
