My young lady is the white moonlight in the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Later, a fire killed her.
I turned around and became a female official in the East Palace, and I was taken care of by the prince.
And within a few years, there was another Liangdi who looked like a young lady in the East Palace, and she mocked me disdainfully:
"Didn't the rules of the East Palace teach you that you should call yourself a slave in front of me?"
The prince, who had always treated me well, also persuaded me as if he had changed into another person:
"Shen Ying, slave, just a title. 」
1
I stood at the door of the East Palace, looking at the pair in the distance.
Today is the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns from his trip south.
Three days ago, he wrote to me that he had found someone who looked like Miss Jiang.
My heart jumped.
Just as he was holding the girl and coming towards the East Palace step by step, I finally saw the face.
Like, very like.
If it weren't for the overly obvious look of struggle on her face, I would have almost mistaken her.
Looking at the reluctance on her face, I had mixed feelings in my heart, but I also had a bad conjecture.
"Shen Ying, do you think she looks like Yiyi?"
I saw the girl's bound hands.
Could it be that His Highness snatched people back?!
"Your Highness, it seems to be similar, but it ......."
When the girl heard me, she looked at me with hope in her eyes.
But before I could finish my sentence, I was interrupted by His Highness.
"Like, it's fine. 」
He ignored me and just hugged the person back.
I watched as the hope in the girl's eyes turned to despair.
Try again, I said to myself, both for the sake of the girl and for my own unwanted thoughts.
"...... Lord"
As soon as I took a step, I was pulled by the grandmother behind me.
"Female official Shen, don't make extraneous branches. 」
I paused, and finally retracted.
2
Female Officer Shen, that's right, I'm just a little female official in this East Palace.
I was originally the daughter of a merchant in this capital.
Five years ago, the smuggling of salt and iron in his family was investigated.
In desperation, they used all their connections to send me to the palace.
In the snow, I knelt at the gate of the East Palace for an hour.
I shivered from the cold, but I didn't dare to back down.
The elders of the clan told me that if I failed, then my mother would die before me.
Just as I was losing consciousness, there was finally the sound of footsteps.
I knelt down beside the steps, and when I looked up, I saw a young man with picturesque eyebrows.
At that moment, my heart gushed out with unspeakable inferiority and humiliation.
He frowned, impatient.
"Who is this?"
"Back to Your Highness, it's the servant sent by the people below. 」
"No, girl, throw her out. 」
Hearing this, I instantly threw away all my self-esteem.
I knelt on the ground and crawled like a dog to approach him, tears unconsciously flowing out of my eyes, and I kept kowtowing to him.
"Please Your Highness accept me, I am very capable, please, please. 」
There was blood oozing from his head, but instead of being impressed by me, he grew angrier.
"Get her out of here!"
Just when I was disheartened, a gentle voice saved me.
"Jingcheng, I like her a lot, give her to me. 」
I looked at the source of the sound and saw that it was a beautiful girl
The moment I saw her, I knew she had something in her that I would never get in my life.
I followed the girl.
Later, I learned that she was Jiang Guanyi, the eldest lady of Jiangfu.
She is also His Royal Highness the Prince's childhood sweetheart, and she is the white moonlight in his heart.
Since then, I have followed Miss Jiang and accompanied her in and out of various occasions.
I didn't save my family, but I saved my mother.
I placed her in a safe place.
It seems that everything is going in my direction.
But later, a fire broke out in Jiangfu, and she was also left with no bones in that fire.
Having lost my place, I was admitted to the East Palace by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
To prevent gossip, he gave me the position of a female officer.
I am like a relic of Miss Jiang, and I have spent three whole years with him.
3
On the second day, I stood outside the door of His Highness's room.
His Highness had gone out to court, and the girl was the only one in the room.
Listening to the guards accompanying His Highness, the girl's surname is Jiang, her name is worry-free, and she is the daughter of a small official family in Jiangnan.
When His Highness went down to the lake, he happened to meet her traveling with friends.
Spring and Jingming, young women, are naturally as delicate as flowers.
But now the one who has stepped out of this threshold is a depressed and lifeless person.
Jiang Wuwu walked out of the door barefoot, still wearing underwear.
I went up and dressed her.
"Girl, let's go back first, be careful if you catch a cold. 」
She turned her head to look at me, and suddenly she gave me a look in her eyes and pushed me to the ground.
There were a few red marks on my palms.
"You were going to speak out yesterday, why didn't you save me!"
Her eyes were scarlet, and she seemed to have endless resentment towards me.
There was no wave in my heart, but I knelt on the ground with a restrained posture.
"Girl, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, if you are willing, why not a blessing?"
"Haha. She laughed maniacally, "But do you know that I already have someone who has two hearts, no matter how noble his prince is, I can't look down on him!"
She suddenly lowered her body and grabbed my chin.
"You like the Prince, don't you?"
There was a hint of panic in my eyes, and I quickly looked away.
"I knew it! I knew it yesterday when I saw your eyes. She laughed again, "You're just in cahoots with that prince dog, and I still want you to save me, it's a joke!"
I was shaken away by her, and the wound in my palm was rubbed again.
"Girl, Your Highness has a noble status, whoever he wants to die will not be able to live for a moment longer, if the girl is still thinking of her father and brother in the family, let her be in peace. 」
I stood up and reminded faintly.
"You threaten me?!"
I was stunned for a moment, didn't I remind me, how did it become a threat.
But I didn't want to say anything more to her, so I turned and prepared to leave.
"I can't move the prince, can't I move you?!I won't let you go!"
4
After that day, Jiang Wuwu seemed to really hate me.
After she was named Liangdi, she showed this hatred clearly.
"Hey, hey. 」
Jiang Wuwu snuggled up to the prince's side and said softly.
I knew he wouldn't say no to this face, and I didn't dare to bet on whether I could win it, so I took the initiative.
"I'm a vegetable for Liangdi. 」
Jiang Wuwu raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter, can't you even say a slave in this East Palace?"
I paused.
When I was with Miss Jiang, she didn't let me become a slave, and after I entered the East Palace, no one asked me to call myself a slave.
She was the first to humiliate me in this way.
I looked at Your Highness, the affection between us for many years, did he let this impostor do this to me like this?
"Ginger ......"
His Highness didn't seem to agree, and I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.
"Your Highness, it's just a title, do you like her more than me?"
Seeing such a coquettish expression on that face, it was as if Miss Jiang was standing here and asking His Highness.
Li Jingcheng looked away with difficulty.
"Shen Ying, it's just a title. 」
My heart suddenly fell to the ground like a heavy stone, crushing the heavens.
yes, it's just a title.
Shen Ying, what are you doing in Qinggao.
Slave and maid, slave and slave, haven't you been a long time ago?
Five years ago, that day was it.
Do you think you can forget about this matter with the temporary blessing of Miss Jiang and His Royal Highness?
I lowered my head, "Yes, slave knows wrong. 」
Jiang Wuwu was finally satisfied.
And I also left the room after finishing the dishes, and waited at the door.
The maids who had been friends with me heard what was said and looked at me worriedly.
I just shook my head and let go of my white palm.
After the meal, Jiang Wuwu returned to the room, and His Royal Highness entered the study.
When I was serving afternoon tea to His Highness, I saw the brand new purse on his waist.
"Where did you get this purse, Your Highness, and what about the purse from before?"
He said that this purse was sewn for him by Jiang Wuwu himself, and the former purse had been thrown away, and it was bought from outside anyway.
I looked at the new purse I bought from Manfeng Lou and didn't make a sound.
I just remembered the pinholes in my hands when I made that old purse.
"What? you like that old one?" he looked at me disapprovingly.
I shook my head and stepped out.
5
On the second day, I was ready to go out with my food box.
Today is the day to go out of the palace to see my mother every month, only today, I will forget all the troubles, forget everything in this East Palace.
Unfortunately, I was running into Jiang Wuwu, who was feeding fish on the pontoon.
When she saw me, she stopped feeding the fish, and threw something into the lake.
I stepped forward, and she spoke unhurriedly, "Lady Shen is here, it just so happens that one of my earrings fell into the water, you can go down and help me find it." 」
My brow furrowed instantly.
Now that it is late autumn, the waters of this lake must be extremely cold.
"Liangdi, this lake is cold, I'll order a few eunuchs to find it for you. 」
I was about to go find someone, but Jiang Wuwu had already stopped me.
"No, I want you to go down and help me get it. Her eyebrows were full of arrogance, "I am Liangdi, my status is noble, you little female official dare to disobey me." 」
I don't know if I suddenly got angry, so I bowed.
"Liangdi, I'm about to leave the palace today, I'm really immaculate, I'll find two guards for you now. 」
With that, I walked past her and walked towards the palace gate.
"Stop!"
As she spoke, she was going to come up and get me.
"Plop—"
In the midst of the pushing, I fell into the lake.
I hit something hard in the back of my head and lost all consciousness in an instant.
It was as if I was in a big dream.
In the dream, this world is a stand-in white moonlight drama.
Bai Yueguang is Miss Jiang, and the stand-in is Jiang Wuwu.
And the male protagonist of this drama is the prince Li Jingcheng.
He and Jiang Wuwu staged a sadomasochistic love in this dream, and finally became a family after thousands of tribulations.
And I, in this drama, am just a passer-by who is obsessed with Li Jingcheng.
At the end of the story, Jiang Wuwu told my thoughts to Li Jingcheng.
She said, "This slave is delusional, killing her is not enough to vent her hatred, Your Majesty might as well let their mother and daughter meet each other, and she will be considered to have done her filial piety." 」
I saw A-Niang die tragically in front of me, her eyes enlarged with fear, and this scene was deeply imprinted in my mind.
Splashes of blood stained my tears.
6
"Ahh
I screamed and woke up from my dream.
My hands were shaking, I was clutching my chest, my heart was beating wildly.
"What's wrong, Sakura. Ah Niang appeared at the door, put down the tea and hurriedly ran towards me.
A-Niang appeared in front of me, but I didn't dare to relax.
"Ah Niang......" I hugged her tightly, and my hands still couldn't stop shaking.
"What's wrong, my good Sakura, is it a nightmare?"
I didn't answer, and buried my head in the side of her neck.
Ah Niang didn't ask me again, just kept patting my back for me.
After a long time, I finally let go of my hand.
"You didn't come to me today, I thought something happened to you, and then His Highness sent someone to take me into the palace and I found out that you fell into the water, but fortunately something happened to you. 」
"A-Niang, is it okay for me to go out of the palace and live with you. I asked out loud.
I decided, whether that dream is true or not, I can't take risks, and now Jiang Wuwu is targeting me, I won't have a good life in this palace, and leaving the palace is the best choice.
"Huh? so suddenly. Ah Niang was taken aback by me, but the next second was a surprise, "Of course it's good if you want to, I said you shouldn't enter the palace, if it weren't for you...... Forget it, you just want to open it now. 」
Looking at the smile on A-Niang's face, I suddenly felt that what I was doing in the past few years had made A-Niang wait for me for so long.
"After you leave the palace, we will change to a larger house, and then we will see a few families for you, and I will save all your savings in the previous years as a dowry. 」
No matter what A-Niang said, I nodded with a smile.
Just leave the land of right and wrong, and everything will be fine.
In the afternoon, I went to Li Jingcheng and proposed to leave the palace.
"Out of the palace? Why? Is it because Jiang Jiang embarrassed you that you fell into the water yesterday? Shen Ying, you are too stingy. Li Jingcheng looked at the song and said without raising his head.
I would have been devastated by his words in the past, but now it's completely different.
"Jiang Liangdi is the love of His Royal Highness, I won't bother with her about this matter, but I know that His Royal Highness accepted me into the palace for the sake of Miss Jiang's face, but Your Highness, three years have passed, and I stayed here just to leave His Highness sentimental. 」
Li Jingcheng finally raised his head, "Shen Ying, what do you mean?"
There was displeasure in his tone, and I had to kneel on the ground.
"Most of the palace maids in the palace of my age have already left the palace, and I hope that His Royal Highness agrees. 」
Li Jingcheng's face became more and more ugly, "They left the palace to get married, why are you out of the palace? I don't let you go out of the palace to see your aunt every month." 」
I was stunned, did he think that I would never marry in my life?
My face also became ugly, "I can't hide it, Your Highness, I left the palace this time because A-Niang has taken a good look at me well. 」
"Don't be alone!"
Li Jingcheng suddenly shouted, startling me.
I suddenly felt that something was wrong, and I raised my lowered head and looked directly at him, and my voice was a little higher.
"Why doesn't Your Highness allow it? Does Your Highness like me?"
7
Li Jingcheng didn't answer for a long time, and there was silence in the study.
He finally spoke, "If you want, I can also give you a good position. 」
「...... Scold. I sneered, and then laughed out loud.
What is this?
What is my self-righteous crush for so many years?If he already knew, then wouldn't everything about me be like a joke?If he already knew, then why would he let Jiang Wuwu kill me and A-Niang!?
Shen Ying, you think you have hidden your mind well, but in fact, everyone knows that in their eyes, it is just a clown who is waiting for him Li Jingcheng to give alms forever.
I finally had enough laughing and stopped.
I knelt down and kowtowed three times to Li Jingcheng.
"These three heads are to repay His Highness's kindness to save me and A-Niang back then, and from then on, I have nothing to do with His Highness. 」
磕完头，我起身欲走，但下一秒。
"Bang-"
The jet-black inkstone slammed down on my feet, and the ink smeared from it.
"Shen Ying! Who do you think Lone is?! Lone is the crown prince! Is this East Palace where you can come and go as you want?! Don't forget that your mother is still in the East Palace!"
I instantly turned around and stared at him fiercely, "Your Highness threatens me with my aunt?!"
I didn't expect that the words I had to persuade Jiang Wuwu at the beginning would now become a cage that trapped me.
I suddenly remembered what Miss Jiang said, yes, he is no longer the young man who only had the name of the prince at the beginning, he has long been trapped in this position, the number of people who killed him is countless, and the people he wants to kill are also countless.
Even, even Miss Jiang's sibling brother was able to do it.
"Yes and what, Lone is the prince, what Lone wants, what must be Lonely, and so are you. 」
There was no trace of regret in his expression, but he was full of arrogance, and he could no longer see the slightest trace of what had moved my heart at the beginning.
"What if I don't?" I looked at him steadily, with no retreat in my eyes.
I don't know what I'm gambling on, I've been with him for a few years, and I've not even been as long as Miss Jiang, and even she can't make Li Jingcheng change, let alone me.
Li Jingcheng approached me step by step, and his expression slowly softened.
He stroked my face, "Shen Ying, I only have you by my side anymore, stay and stay with me, okay?"
I tilted my head slightly, unable to help but take a step back, unwilling to accept his touch again.
His eyes were full of stubbornness, and I knew I couldn't escape.
"I will stay, but please Your Highness don't give me any position and let my aunt out of the palace. 」
Li Jingcheng was silent for a long time before he said hello.
8
I'm still a little female official in the East Palace as before.
But I don't know if Li Jingcheng said something to Jiang Wuwu, she hasn't come to me for a long time.
Do Li Jingcheng like me? I asked myself this, and the answer was no, but on the road of the prince, he had lost so much that he wanted to grab anything that could be left.
As far as I'm concerned, I can only wait, wait for an opportunity, and escape.
A few days later, the border army returned to the court, and His Majesty ordered the prince to hold a banquet in the East Palace to entertain General Chu Xiao, Chu Yuanlang.
In fact, the celebration banquet has been held in the main hall a long time ago, and the banquet in the East Palace is only attended by the younger generation of the Jingzhong family and the young courtiers in the court, and the purpose is naturally to help Li Jingcheng contact contacts and form forces.
"Lady Shen, yesterday's dishes have been prepared, do you want to take a look?"
"No need. I looked at the table in the temple and replied without raising my head.
There are very few such activities in the East Palace, and I am a little busy preparing for them.
But the good thing is that everything is going smoothly.
"Lady Shen, this adult is wet with clothes, and she needs to find a place to change it. 」
I glanced at Jiang Xuanming behind the palace maid, nodded, and took him to the idle house.
「...... You're still the same as before. Jiang Xuanming suddenly spoke up behind me.
"Master Jiang is the same as before. 」
Jiang Xuanming is Jiang Guanyi's second brother, and he has intersected with me in the past.
"Shen Ying, ...... back then"
Jiang Xuanming was interrupted by me before he finished speaking, "My lord, there are many people here, so let's talk about it later." 」
I know what Jiang Xuanming is going to say, now there are people in this East Palace, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be heard by people with intentions.
Jiang Xuanming acquiesced in my words and didn't say a word along the way.
After a while, Jiang Xuanming, who had finished changing his clothes, was sent out by me.
I breathed a sigh of relief, but as soon as I turned my head, I saw another person appear in front of me.
"You're Shen Ying?"
The young man was handsome, standing casually on the plane tree, it was late autumn, and the sparse leaves could not hide his posture at all.
The breeze was blowing, the leaves of the sycamore trees fell on my cheeks, and I looked up and saw the picturesque people of Iraq.
9
I finally came to my senses, took two steps back, and saluted the boy.
"General Chu Xiao Gui'an. 」
Chu Yuanlang rolled over from the tree and looked at me curiously, "You know me?"
I raised my head and smiled, "The only one who can make such a move today must be General Chu Xiao. 」
Instead of being annoyed by my quips, he laughed too.
"You're just as funny as she said. 」
"She?" I wondered.
"An old man, well, I've seen you, you can take me out. 」
Chu Yuanlang didn't mean to say much, but I was very curious about the "she" in his mouth, and I really couldn't imagine what I could have in touch with this little general.
"The little general has come all the way to see me?" I said as I showed him the way.
"Yes and no. Chu Yuanlang walked beside me and said nonchalantly, "It's just that I'm lost, and I happened to see you walking with that Jiang Xuanming." 」
"Do you like him?" Chu Yuanlang suddenly turned his head and asked me seriously.
"Huh?" I was taken aback by the surprise of the words, but quickly reacted, "It's better for the little general to say less about such jokes. 」
Chu Yuanlang smiled, "I knew you didn't look down on that person. 」
Can't you look down on me? Could it be that in his eyes, I'm better than Jiang Xuanming?
But I didn't ask, and after leading him into the table, I parted with him.
The rest of the banquet went well, and when it came to the treetops of the moon, it finally came to a successful end.
On the second day, I hadn't relaxed for too long, and I was disturbed by Jiang Wuwu's movement again.
"Jiang Liangdi said that her jewelry was lost?" I repeated the palace maid's words.
"Yes, Jiang Liangdi said that it was given to her by His Royal Highness, which is very precious, and now she is making trouble in the main hall. 」
It doesn't sound like a problem, but I always feel like it's not that simple.
"Lady Shen, Jiang Liangdi wants to search the palace, His Royal Highness has already approved it, she went to your house!"
Not good!
My expression changed, and I immediately got up and hurried back to the house.
10
Before I arrived, I saw a crowd of people clamoring around my room.
"Lady Shen is here!"
The palace maids on the periphery saw me and hurriedly got out of the way, but their eyes couldn't hide their surprise.
I guessed what they saw, and I didn't hurry anymore, and my pace slowed down.
Seeing me walk in, Jiang Wuwu's face darkened even more.
"Shen Ying, you are so bold, you dare to curse Ben Liangdi!"
Jiang Wuwu probably came in a hurry, and he didn't even read the words written on the tablet.
She had a portrait in her hand, and she was trying to ask me for her guilt.
Although there are not many people in the East Palace who know Miss Jiang, most of the palace maids now are the same as her, thinking that I hate her to the extent that I want to set up a tablet for her.
I walked over unhurriedly, ignoring her cannibalistic gaze and taking the portrait from her hand.
"Liangdi has a lot of heart, this person is not you. 」
Now that she's found out, let's just tell her the truth, and I don't have anything to scruple about anyway.
"You're fart! This portrait is clearly me! You dare to deny it!"
"The person on this portrait is Miss Jiang Guanyi, if Liangdi doesn't believe it, you can look at the tablet I enshrine!"
I took the tablet down and showed it to her.
"How is it possible! How can this Miss Jiang family look exactly like me!Shen Ying, don't think that you can escape by making up a random person's name!"
"Huh. I chuckled, "Liangdi, it's not that she looks like you, it's that you look like her!"
Jiang Wuwu's face turned pale in an instant, and he took two steps back in a vague manner.
It seems that she doesn't know how Li Jingcheng brought her back from Jiangnan, and she didn't listen to a word of the conversation I had with Li Jingcheng.
"You mean, I'm the stand-in for this Jiang girl?" Jiang Wuwu stared at me with a look of disbelief on his face.
I finally felt a little pity for her, but she was nothing more than a poor person who had been forced to leave home.
"Miss Jiang and His Royal Highness have known each other since childhood, and have a childhood friendship, Miss Jiang died three years ago, I just miss her, so I set up a spiritual seat in my room, not a curse on you. 」
Jiang Wuwu's face became paler and paler, she glanced at me, and suddenly laughed again.
"That's it, what about the stand-in! Now she's just a dead person, how can she beat me!"
My face didn't look good, and I didn't like the contempt she had for Miss Jiang in her words.
"Although it has been pleased by His Royal Highness, it is not dead, it is estimated that he has done too much evil and was accepted by the king of Hades, hahahaha. 」
My brow furrowed, and my expression grew colder.
"Smack—"
I slapped Jiang Wuwu's face with a red mark, and she fell to the ground by me.
"You shouldn't have said that about her. I stared at her, "You can't beat her with ten. 」
"Shen Ying, why are you beating me!" Jiang Wuwu screamed, "You have committed a big taboo by setting up a spiritual position in the palace, and you still dare to beat me! Believe it or not, I let you be expelled from the palace!"
Then I really couldn't ask for it, I thought silently in my heart.
However, I felt that Jiang Wuwu was really stupid, and after I sent all the palace people out, I looked down at her, "Jiang Liangdi, didn't I tell you? Your Highness and Miss Jiang are childhood sweethearts, do you guess she knows that I have set up this spiritual position." 」
Or rather, who made me set up this spiritual throne of mine?
Three years ago, after I was admitted to the palace by Li Jingcheng, he didn't ask me to do anything, only asked me to set up a spiritual seat for Miss Jiang in the palace, and sometimes he would come to my room to talk to her.
Jiang Wuwu's expression has changed greatly, and when I talk about this, she naturally understands who instructed this matter.
She walked out of my room alone, dejected.
This matter also reached Li Jingcheng's ears in a rapid way.
And it just so happened that I was there at the time.
11
"You can't tolerate her like that?"
My expression remained unchanged, "If Your Highness hears what she said, you won't let her go, even if she has that face. 」
Li Jingchang let out a long sigh, but in the end he didn't say anything.
For him, Jiang Wuwu was just a substitute.
In my dream, the two of them had a big quarrel because of this, but this time it was advanced because of my reasons, Jiang Wuwu didn't love Li Jingcheng as much as in his dream, so naturally he wouldn't be too angry because of this.
"You go out with me. 」
I said yes and followed behind Li Jingcheng with my things.
We went out of the East Palace, and went to the direction of the front hall, which was the time of the next court, and the front hall was full of small servants of various families.
"General Chu. Li Jingcheng shouted to Chu Yuanlang of the next dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Hearing the familiar voice, I didn't dare to raise my head, trying to think of myself as a transparent person.
"General Chu, I saw that you liked to eat mung bean cake very much at the banquet last time, this time I specially asked someone to make some and send it, I don't know if you have time to go to my East Palace to sit?"
This is naked co-optation, I thought silently in my heart.
Now that the party competition between the DPRK and China is fierce, although Li Jingcheng is the concubine of the middle palace, his mother's family is not visible, and the prince from the noble concubine is eyeing him from the sidelines, and he will indeed fall into passivity if he does not take some action.
But Chu Yuanlang was obviously not interested in this, and he looked deficient.
"You don't have to...... Okay, I'll go with Your Highness. His gaze seemed to stay on me, and even his tone became cheerful.
Li Jingcheng and Chu Yuanlang greeted each other in front, and I followed them silently.
When I returned to the East Palace, I went down to prepare tea, and when I came back, there was only Chu Yuanlang.
"Where's Your Highness?"
