    ☆, palace wall willow 1

    After a snowfall, all the dead branches and leaves in the garden are covered up, leaving only the white frost in front of the eyes.The plum blossoms bloomed just right outside the Pearl Mirror Hall, and the three or two sparse branches had a quiet and lingering scent. A gust of wind passed by, and the plum blossoms swirled and fell from the branches. It was clear that the new stamens had just sprouted, but there was an unspeakable desolation.

    Pearl was holding the medicine that had just been cooked in the corridor. The little palace maid opened the curtain first, and a slightly bitter taste and a faint sweet fragrance hit her face.

    That was the suhe that the imperial concubine loved to use in the past. Since the death of the empress, the new mistress of the Pearl Mirror Hall has not changed the past rules. Suhe is mostly burned in the palace, and occasionally some are used to rest.

    At this time, the hall was silent, and the blue-white skylight reflected on the smokey window lattice, making the room a bit brighter than outside.

    Pearl crossed the threshold lightly and cautiously called out: “Your Majesty?”

    No one answered, only the sound of the silver frost charcoal in the fumigation cage was peeling, and it was almost burning down.

    She winked and signaled the little palace maid to add fuel to the fire. She walked to the bed with golden carvings and put down the lacquer bowl in her hand: “My Lady, it’s time to take medicine.”

    On the big bed, there is a paper-like silhouette, a delicate beauty sitting in the curtain that hangs from the floor, as if there is a solitary crane caged in the smoke.Her silhouette was blurry, so blurry that Pearl even thought she was going to disappear for a moment.

    “…Mother?”

    Before Pearl could speak again, the little palace maid came over and whispered in her ear: “Sister Zhu’er, the charcoal in the palace… is not enough.”

    “Not enough? If it’s not enough, then ask people to find people from the Xixin Division…”

    Before she finished speaking, she thought that today is different from the past. Today’s Pearl Mirror Hall can no longer order people at will like in the past.Not to mention the 24th Yamen, I’m afraid even the old lady guarding the gate outside would be able to look down on her.

    She was speechless for a moment. Thinking that her words might have been overheard by the empress, she became even more confused as to how to persuade her.

    She didn’t know that the girl in the tent was looking confused at this moment.The reason why he didn’t answer was not because he was unwilling, but because he didn’t know how to answer.After all, he had just been reincarnated, and not a single bit of his original memory was left.

    Fortunately, this is not the first time Yao Ji has encountered this situation. She lowered her head and looked at her new body. She has pampered slender hands and a slim and youthful figure. According to visual inspection…, she should be fifteen or sixteen years old.

    It’s no wonder, for several consecutive lives she was reincarnated when her original body was still young. Although she had no memory of her original body, the impact was not big, and it didn’t take long for her to gradually recover.

    But this time the original body is a girl. It can be imagined that it will take at least a year and a half for her to completely fuse body and soul.

    The top priority was to deal with the current situation first. Her brain was running rapidly, and Yao Ji keenly captured several key points.The woman outside the tent is called she…., Empress?

    “Just wait for me to take the medicine.” She said calmly while thinking.

    Seeing that the empress was finally willing to take the medicine, Zhuer hurriedly raised the curtain.

    “Your Majesty, please don’t suffer yourself anymore,” she carefully scooped up a spoonful of soup and fed it to the girl’s lips. She said in a soft voice with a hint of anxiety, “My Imperial Concubine has a spirit in heaven, and I don’t want to see her like this.”

    The imperial concubine…who is she?

    Yao Ji couldn’t say anything to test, so she swallowed the medicine in the silver spoon and almost vomited it out in pain.This is really…..Might as well drink it in one gulp.However, she didn’t know her original temperament, and was afraid that her behavior would arouse suspicion, so she had no choice but to endure the pain and drink up a bowl of medicine. While drinking, she quietly observed the woman in front of her.

    Judging from her age, she is in her early twenties. Based on Yao Ji’s experience in the palace, she must be a useful maid by her side.Looking again at the palace, apart from the woman giving medicine, there was only the little palace maid. Thinking of the conversation between the two just now, it seemed that her situation was not good.

    In fact, not only was it not good, in the following days, she discovered more and more problems.

    There were only a few people serving her in the palace, the two eldest maids were called Zhu Er Bao’er, and there were also a few childish maids and middle-aged ladies.The younger palace maids still couldn’t hide their words. Sometimes they just thought Yao Ji was asleep, and Yao Ji could always hear a few words when whispering——

    “Lenggong”, “The Queen Mother is furious”, “Falling out of favor”, “The little prince is going to be taken away”.

    Wait, little, little prince?

    The girl who was eavesdropping silently opened her mouth wide. When she opened her eyes, she even had a baby?!

    Fortunately, she quickly figured out that this was a misunderstanding. When Zhu’er came to serve again, Yao Ji did not hesitate and directly tested: “Long live Lord…really want to take the little prince away?”

    Zhuer paused as she collected the bowls and spoons: “Your Majesty, these are just words without any shadow. Long Live the Lord has not issued his decree yet.”

    If he hasn’t come down yet, then he is about to come down… She didn’t know what expression to show for a moment, but Zhu’er said again: “Besides, the imperial concubine made special instructions before her death. The young prince was only willing to be raised by the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine and the imperial concubine are direct sisters. The imperial concubine looks at the little prince as if she were her own son. Mother and son are in a loving relationship. Long live the prince must not be able to bear it.”

    After some relief, in fact, there were no practical words at all. Yao Ji breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was a nephew and not a son…

    But from this point of view, are these sisters serving the same husband?

    She couldn’t help but feel sick in her heart. Over the past few days, Yao Ji had figured out that this body had fallen out of favor. If possible, she would rather that Long Live the Lord not come to favor her.But because she lost her Sacred Heart, she couldn’t even keep the little prince she raised beside her. Although that was not her son, but…

    After calming down, Yao Ji deliberately pretended to be lost and muttered: “I don’t know who will raise the little prince if he is taken away…”

    At this time, Bao’er just opened the curtain and came in. She was quicker to talk than Zhu’er. When she heard the words, she said: “In the whole palace, the little prince is the only one. No queen in the palace would not want to keep him by her side.”

    From this point of view, the little prince should be able to live well if he is given away?

    Zhu’er sighed: “That person in Penglai Palace will not allow it. She is in the middle palace and has no children, so it is most appropriate to raise a prince. When the imperial concubine was alive, she did not deal with her in every possible way, and she almost failed to give birth to the little prince safely. If the little prince…”

    She didn’t finish the rest of the words, and the unfinished meaning in those words made Yao Ji give up the idea of sending the little prince away.

    No matter what, taking over the original body will at least help her pay off her cause and effect.Sighing secretly, the girl raised her eyes and said, “Please tell me what the situation is outside now.”

    “Although I have lost the Sacred Heart, it is only for a moment, not forever. I will not let the little prince go. He is my sister’s flesh and blood. Since my sister entrusted her to me, I cannot let her down.”

    She had been depressed for more than half a month. Zhu’er and Bao’er both thought that their master would never get up again. Seeing this scene, their eyes lit up.

    “What a glorious sight it was when the queen was so favored. She was granted the title of virtuous concubine three days after entering the palace. Without being favored, she was already overwhelming everyone in the harem. Now it’s just a temporary trough. As long as the queen has her heart, all the slaves will be devastated.”

    Before he finished speaking, the little maid’s announcement came from outside the door: “Your Majesty, someone from Qingsi Palace is here!”

    The Qingsi Hall is where the emperor lives today, could it be… With her heart tightening, Yao Ji hurriedly motioned to Zhu’er to help her dress.

    Bao’er opened the curtain and walked over: “Which father-in-law is here?”

    Although the little palace maid was young and used to be steady, she stuttered for some reason at this time: “Yes, it’s Eunuch Liu.”

    “…Eunuch Liu.” Bao’er’s face turned pale.

    Yao Ji didn’t know why, but she heard footsteps coming from the corridor.Click, click, click, click… The steady and powerful sound seemed to be stepping on people’s heartstrings, and it actually made her palms sweat.

    With a swipe, the curtain was opened again.

    Bao’er, who was greeted out of the door, bowed his head and stood aside. Beside her, the two rows of palace maids stood in solemn silence, as if they didn’t even dare to look at the man standing in front of the door.

    Moving her eyes upward, she first saw a pair of soap boots, and then a bright red brocade robe embroidered with colorful four-clawed python patterns – red and python patterns. This was a high-ranking eunuch.

    “Is your Majesty still safe?”

    Eunuch Liu’s voice sounded. Strangely, it was not feminine, but gentle.There was no smile in his voice at all, rather than flattery, but a faint verdict to Yao Ji.

    “If you can get up, hurry up and see the little prince one last time.”
