Chapter 306 Chapter 306
Once a person wants to leave an environment for long-term survival, even if the environment is severe, he will eventually feel a little uneasy. This is human nature, he is dependent on the already familiar environment and fears the unknown future.??
So on this last day, I spent a feeling of panic and joy.
Yuer was watching me having breakfast, even her hands holding chopsticks were trembling, and she said with a smile that such hands could not hold up the fish, and the two of them laughed again.
On the last day, the palace supervisor did not arrange anything for us, so many familiar sisters came to say goodbye to us, and also gave us a lot of exquisite needlework and gadgets accumulated on weekdays. After all, they have been sisters for five years, so there will be no chance to meet again after we part. Everyone is very reluctant to leave.”
I looked at them, and while I was happy for us, I also had indescribable envy in my eyes.
Yuer was really happy, so she took out her own pocket and took two roast chickens from her aunt in the imperial kitchen. Unexpectedly, when the little girl who delivered the food box brought it over, there was a pot of wine, a bowl of steamed duck and a bowl of osmanthus fish inside, saying that it was my aunt who practiced it for us.
Everyone was happy and drank two glasses of dishes. For a moment, the small room in Yeting was also very lively.
But when I saw everyone laughing, I couldn't help but think of another person.
In the cold palace, I was still looking at Pei Yuanhao's smoke.
Early this morning, I took a few hangovers to the cold palace, but I didn't go in, but asked a familiar nanny to bring it to her.
In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to see her, but I’m just afraid of seeing her. When I think of her, I still miss Pei Yuanhao’s favor. I also clearly remember that Yao Yingxue died tragically, and Pei Yuanhao didn’t even look at her more. Ningyan’s dream was probably overwhelmed. When we meet again, let her know that I’m leaving, but it only increases her troubles.
I just hope that she can understand and forget that man.
I was still stunned. A glass of wine had been handed to my eyes. When I looked up, it was the little palace maid Shui Xiu toasted me and said with a smile: "Sister Qingying, don't forget us when you leave the palace. If you can see your sister outside the palace in the future, we will still be good sisters!"
"Yes, good sisters!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and I also raised my glasses to drink with them with a smile.
It took me so much trouble until the evening, and everyone was a little drunk. I told them to go back carefully and not be seen by the nanny who was in charge. I took care of Yuer, who had been drunk for three or five years, and went to bed to bed. After I finished the shower, I washed my alcohol all over. As soon as I got on the bed, Yuer moved over and hugged my waist.
I smiled and looked at her blushing cheeks, with a hazy look: "Isn't I awake yet?"
"Qingying, are we really going to leave the palace?"
"Of course. What's wrong?"
"I feel like I'm dreaming."
I smiled, patted her on the cheek, hugged her in my arms, and said, "This is not a dream, this is true. Yuer, we can leave the palace tomorrow and leave here..."
Yuer didn't say anything, just drilled into my shoulder. After a while, she felt a sensation there. When she looked down, tears fell from the corner of Yuer's eyes, which wet her slender eyelashes. She mumbled, as if she was already asleep, but she was a little uncertain and uneasy.
Really, I can leave, this is not a dream, it is true...
I murmured, not knowing whether to say it to her or to myself, the candlelight slowly darkened, and I hugged her on such a dark night and spent the last night in the ying court...
The next day, it was a bright sunny day.
If it weren't for drinking last night, Yuer and I would have been so excited that we couldn't sleep all night. But even after drinking so much wine, we still got up early in the morning, packed up all our luggage, and waited for the instructions above.
After a while, the words of the eunuchs came, and all the famous palace maids on the list of amnesty were waiting at the side door of the Nangong Gate.
We went out with our respective luggage. Along the way, we saw other palace maids who received amnesty. All of us were red in our eyes and looked impatient. Several of us could not stop crying. We went to the Nangong Gate together.
When I arrived at the side door of the Nangong Gate, I saw a tall stone platform. Eunuch Yu was holding a booklet in his hand and was slowly watching. Several small eunuchs were standing beside him, with red silk, brocade and some hanging money on the table in front of him. There were several nannies standing under the stone platform, all of which taught everyone when they entered the palace.
There is a spacious avenue under the stone platform. At the end of the avenue is the open palace gate. The door is full of people, all of whom are here to pick up the relatives of the palace maids who have been pardoned and left the palace. They are all looking forward to it. There are also several elderly mothers snatching the door and wiping their tears with their sleeves.
The time of Si is right, and the amnesty begins.
Eunuch Yu opened the book and shouted: "Shang Xiulan."
A palace maid immediately stood up from the crowd and looked at Eunuch Yu anxiously. Several nannies from the Shi platform stepped forward to check her body and luggage, and nodded to Eunuch Yu. Eunuch Yu said justice: "Shang Xiulan, verify her true body, reward, a piece of satin, and a five-dollar money."
Shang Xiulan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to him, took the reward handed over by the eunuch, and turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
I looked at her step by step, and finally walked to the door. Her parents rushed up and the whole family hugged their heads and cried.
The palace maids who were still waiting couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this scene.
I held the bag in my hand tightly, feeling my whole body trembling.
"Li Wenfang, verify the right person, and reward..."
"Liu Yue, verify the correctness and reward..."
"Zheng Chunhong, verify the correctness and reward..."
...
The palace maids standing beside us were pronounced with names and stood out one by one. After verifying their true colors, they rushed to the Nangong Gate. There were fewer and fewer people around them. The sun was shining brightly, and the spring breeze in March brought warmth at this time, which even made people feel a little burning.
I was soaked in cold sweat in my palms, and I was even soaked in the cloth bag in my hand.
In the end, only Yu'er and I were left here. She grabbed my hand and used force unconsciously, almost pinching my wrist. At this moment, she heard Eunuch Yu call her name-
"Song Yu'er."
When Yu'er heard this, she trembled. She glanced at me, I nodded at her, and she walked forward. It was still the nanny who came up to check her body and baggage. She confirmed that there was no problem. Eunuch Yu said loudly: "Song Yu'er, verify her true body, reward two pieces of satin, and pay ten yuan for money!"
Yuer looked at me happily, and I smiled at her, took the things sent by the little eunuch, and said to me with a lip-syncing word - "Waiting for you", then turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
Every step she took seemed to be in my heart, getting heavier and heavier.
I looked up at the list in Eunuch Yu's hand, and felt that my heart could not bear the ecstasy of this moment, and it was difficult to breathe. In the end, I could only hold my breath and wait for my name to be pronounced from his mouth.
"Yue Qingying."
Finally, these three words came out of the mouth of Eunuch Yu, and he seemed to pause and looked down at me. I was the only one waiting for the amnesty here. He slowly walked to the stone platform and looked up at him.
Eunuch Yu looked at me and frowned slightly.
Those nannies had already come up. They were used to doing these things. They checked me hunchedly. A nannian opened my bag, which was just a few things with them, and a pack of broken silver that had been accumulated over the years. It was so simple that it could not be simpler.
After checking, they nodded at Eunuch Yu.
Eunuch Yu's face seemed a little uncertain, but at this time there was nothing else. He finally clamped the booklet and shouted: "Yue Qingying, verify the right person, and reward--"
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly came from behind him: "Your Highness is here!"
What?
I was shocked and turned around quickly, but saw the familiar figure slowly walking towards this side from the other end of the palace wall.
Although he has not officially ascended the throne yet, he is already full of imperial deity and looks imposing. When Eunuch Yu and the others saw him, they hurriedly walked down and fell to the ground. I also knelt down with them and saluted him.
The sunlight leaped over the palace wall and sprinkled a bright golden color on the ground. A pair of bright yellow boots walked into my sight with the golden light, and walked towards me step by step. Finally, it stopped in front of me. A somewhat low voice sounded above my head: "It's time for you to leave the palace?"
"Go back to Your Highness, yes."
He turned around and looked at my bag in the mother's hand, as if he smiled: "It's very prepared."
"..." At this time, I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only kneel at his feet with my head down. Although I tried my best to control myself, I couldn't control the trembling of my fingertips, as if I was about to break it.
But Pei Yuanhao was still faint, as if there was no emotional fluctuation, and said, "You have helped me a lot, today, I will accompany you on this journey."
"I don't dare-"
"Let's go."
I looked up at him, but saw that there was no expression on his calm face. Even when facing the sun, there was no warmth at all. It seemed as if I had a mask on my whole body. I didn't know what the situation was now, but I didn't want anything to happen at this last moment.
So, he slowly stood up, took the bag, turned around and walked towards the palace gate.
This section of the road is not long.
But it seems that I have gone through all my life's strength.
Every step is like stepping on my heart. Only with one step down can my heartbeat continue, but it hurts so much, because every breath of the person behind me touches my heartbeat.
I don’t know if my heartbeat has increased or my steps have become heavy, but even his breathing has become heavier.
Finally, when this road came to the end, the open door was in front of me.
It seemed that the person who had been walking in the dark for a long time finally saw the light. After the urgency, I shivered uncontrollably, and my steps were also extremely difficult, as if I had to use all my strength.
Just as I was about to take this step, a cold sound came from behind me-
Chapter completed!
