Chapter 003 First Meeting 3

Yingting is a long high-walled dark alley. Who knows that in this old alley, there is a bluestone step, and it only lasts one night. If you want to become a caged canary outside, you have to wander around this old alley hundreds of times.

I came to the court for a few days to learn court culture and etiquette. In fact, I did some chores in the palace and spread words and things in every palace, which is also a well-informed word. When I first came here, the court at night was very gloomy. I often heard the crying and scolding of women, which disturbed the night. Later, the night was very quiet. I heard Gu Nianer in the same room say that she was probably executed in the dark.

People outside look at the palace, which is bright, rich and glorious. And when I really entered this palace, I felt cold and rarely smiled sincerely. Just like this courtyard, although the palace is worse than other palaces, it is much more beautiful than the outside. But I don't know how many people and freedom are more beautiful than the palace, and I can't look forward to the rich and nobles until I die of old age.

In the morning, we must get up earlier than anyone else. I hurriedly washed my face and took a basket of medicine jars to the pharmacy. Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau belongs to the province of the palace and is in charge of the emperor's life. Yesterday, Mister ordered me to wipe the medicine jar over and over again for fear of detecting something wrong.

Entering the Shang Pharmacy, every place exudes the smell of herbs. The house looks very clean and tidy, and the house is not gorgeously decorated. It can only be said to be simple. I took the medicine jar out of the basket and carefully put it on the table. When I was about to leave, I saw some medicine sprinkled on the next stage, with two brown shiny medicine jars in front of it. Thinking that the people of the Pharmaceutical Bureau were in a hurry to sprinkle the medicinal herbs, I put a basket and pinched a few medicinal herbs, sniffed them, and divided the medicinal herbs on the table into the jar.

After covering the opening, I picked up the basket and wanted to leave, but suddenly I saw a man standing behind my back at the door. I heard Mama Chen say that the palace clothes represent people in different official positions. When I saw the clothes, I knew that this person was the emperor of the pharmacy. I immediately bowed down and waited for him to speak.

The man was not in a hurry to blame me for exceeding the official position. He walked around me twice and asked me to get up. I didn't look up at him, but he suddenly leaned down to my ear. This action immediately made me blush and take a few steps back. A gentle question came from the man in front of me: "The body is full of medicine. Do you know the medicinal herbs?"

It turned out that he smelled the smell of medicine on my body. I used to take medicine at home, but after a long time, my body was stained with the smell of medicine and I couldn't wash it.

"I understand a little." I spoke slightly, but made the man laugh. He said, "I think you have a deep understanding."

He walked to the table where the medicinal herbs had just been sprinkled. I looked up at him. His back alone felt very beautiful. Looking at his slightly side face was as desirable as the moon in the middle of the night. He reached out and put away the two medicine jars and turned his head and said, "How do you distinguish these two medicinal herbs?"

I was distracted when he was suddenly facing me. I hurriedly shook my eyes and looked at the two medicine jars and said slowly: "The old forsythia is cracked or split into two petals from the top. The surface is yellow-brown or reddish brown, and the inner surface is mostly light yellow-brown, smooth, with a longitudinal partition; it is brittle; slightly fragrant and bitter. The other is raspberry, which is a polymer fruit, which is made of most small kernel fruits and is conical. The surface is yellow-green or light brown, the top is dull and round, and the center of the base is concave. The calyx is tan, with fruit stem marks below. The small fruit is easy to peel off. Each small fruit is half-moon-shaped, densely covered with gray-white hairs, obvious mesh on both sides, and protruding edges in the abdomen. Light and hard. The gas is slight and the taste is slightly sour. It's not easy to distinguish these two herbs without looking carefully.

He listened and nodded slowly, and his smile became stronger. I bowed my head and said, "I'm not talented. Please correct me."

He looked surprised and asked, "How do you know that I am a medicine?"

I told the truth: "What Mother Chen said, court clothing represents people with different official positions. When the maidservant saw Feng Yu's clothing, she knew it in her heart.

He smiled even more brightly and asked me a few more questions about medicinal herbs. I recalled that my traditional Chinese medicinal herbs answered one by one, but I didn't dare to say more. Seeing that my answer was constrained, he handed me a basket and let me go.

When I first entered the palace, I was cautious. He had no special mind at all, but he was extremely embarrassed by me. After leaving the pharmacy, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. I felt very depressed when I talked to him. In retrospect, he seemed to have said a name: Song Yi.

That's his name. Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau Fengyu, Song Yi...

If I had known that this name had been entangled with me in this life, I would not have said that medicinal nature or met him again.

Back to the court, there was a noise inside. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a circle of people in front of me. Mother Chen pointed down and roared, "You are so shameless. You are a** person with charming bones!"

I squeezed into the crowd and saw a man kneeling on the ground. It was Liqian who came to sit next to me. A large piece of her clothes was torn, and the snow-white skin was exposed in the fragments. She reached out and pulled the clothes that slid down her shoulders, expressionless. In the face of Mother Chen's scolding and onlookers, her eyes were indifferent. Suddenly, Mother Chen kicked her body and turned back with a soft voice. The body looks thin, but it can't stand such a vicious foot of Mother Chen. She frowned slightly and bit her lips slightly, looking down at the other place.

I was embarrassed. As soon as I stepped on my foot, my arm was pulled. Nian'er leaned over my ear and said, "Don't provoke Mother Chen. She is also teaching people who make mistakes."

As soon as she heard this sentence, Mother Chen pushed the onlookers and pushed us away angrily and did their own things. Nian'er pulled me away from there. I turned around and saw Li Qian struggling to get up from the ground and go to the laundry. Mother Chen was still pointing at her back and scolding angrily.

This matter is just a slight in my mind, and I don't care much about it.

Before the sunset, I washed my hands carefully and went to the East Palace with two neatly folded clothes. The East Palace is the residence of the prince, so the management inside and outside is very rigorous. Only the clothes are allowed to be handed in at the door. I looked inside but was stared at by the eunuch who handed the goods. Just as he was about to retreat, he saw a man coming out of it. The eunuch who handed the goods bent his knees and knelt down to salute. I also put on my skirt and knelt down to salute. I only stood in front of the meeting and said, "Is that you?"

I looked up, I seemed to have seen this person somewhere, but I can't remember where he was. Seeing that I didn't answer, the little eunuch behind him scolded angrily: "Bold, Your Highness, why didn't you answer the question!"

It turned out to be him. There was a white veil as a barrier that day, and I didn't see it clearly.

"I'm not a maidservant, I'm a maidservant, a maidservant..." Thinking of holding his hand with him that day, my face couldn't help but feel hot. I lowered my head in a hurry, lay on the ground and couldn't say the whole thing, and my mind was blank.

"Mo... Mo Xiran?" He sighed and asked me to get up and ask me to walk with him. Thinking that there were any items or words to be passed on, I got up and straightened my skirt and followed him to wait for his instructions. But he walked in front of him with his hands behind his back, neither fast nor slow, and he walked aimlessly. He walked around the palace and did not return to his Chengqian Hall. It seemed that he had no intention of me to send a message. Looking back, I don't know when the little eunuch beside him disappeared, and I was even more surprised. Looking at his back, a faint musk came from the breeze, which made me faintly distracted.

My forehead was suddenly hit, and I couldn't help staggering a few steps, but I was hugged around my waist. The faint musk rushed to my face with heat. I reflexively pushed the person in front of me back a few steps, and then realized that the man was the king of Qin just now.

It was almost a coherent action. I stepped back a few steps and quickly knelt on the ground and said, "I have violated the noble body of His Royal Highness the King of Qin. Please punish me." There was a big drop of sweat on my forehead. I don't know if I was afraid or nervous, and my face was even hot, which made me restless.

"It's okay." He said lightly and raised his hand in front of me. I touched my waist and looked at his hand. The inseparable jade pendant hung on his slender fingers. It was because he was afraid that I would take it away when I fell and hugged my waist. I met you with it." He said.

It turned out that he noticed the jade pendant when he held his palm that day. I felt uncomfortable and gritted my teeth and said, "Your Highness, if you are happy, just take it."

He squinted at me and asked, "Really?"

Of course not, but I nodded: "This is the honor of the maidservant." Which master in the world can't get what he wants, and the slave and maidservant risked his own life to rob things from the master. Even if there is, it's not me. Just because I don't want to die.

"Isn't it important to you?" He held the jade pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully. I only know that this jade pendant was brought with me when I woke up that day, and I don't know what it means. I shook my head and told him whether it was not important or not, even I didn't know myself.

Seeing me shaking my head, he frowned and looked at me no longer softly. Suddenly, he toss the jade pendant on the ground with one hand and broke it in half with a crisp sound. "Do you think I asked you to follow for this?" He shook his hand angrily and strode away. I looked at the two halves of the jade pendant on the ground and carefully picked it up. My heart was inexplicable.

This is the second time I met King Qin. I also tasted the courage and anger of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, for the first time.

That night, I toss and turned, took out the two half jade pendants under my pillow and put them in the palm of my hand. I didn't know what to see, let alone what to think. I broke this jade pendant, and I felt very empty in my heart. I shook my head and stuffed the jade pendant under the pillow again, determined not to think about it. But as soon as he closed his eyes, it was Li Shimin's angry eyes and two broken jade pendants. From his eyes, I clearly felt that he was happy with the jade pendant, but he finally broke the jade pendant.

Li Shimin, do you like it? Do you have to get it? Or, even if it's what you like, as long as it offends you, you want to break it to pieces?
