His family was not good, so his parents sent him to the palace to be a eunuch when he was young.
There are many people like him in the palace.
Sometimes, he also thought about why it was himself, not his brother, or someone else.
But every time he thought about it like this, another voice would always ring in his heart: If it wasn't for living, how could parents who love their flesh and blood send their own son into the palace to be a eunuch
If he did not enter the palace, he might have starved to death or died of illness.
So all the grievances that have spread will gradually subside.
Zheng Bao has thus become a person who is rarely peaceful in the palace.
There are too many people here who are intrigued and intrigued, most of which stem from an uneasy and unwilling heart, wanting to stand out, and want to be that person.
But he didn't want to.
In the palace, I don't fight or rob, I do my own thing with peace of mind, and I never get involved in any intrigue. Only when I get old and is released from the palace, when I go home, I see my family smiling at each other and make tea for him.
But yesterday...
He didn't break the Jianzhan that the Queen's Empress loved, but when he obeyed the female officer's instructions, when he took out the box from the high pavilion and opened it, it was already broken inside.
This thing was brought by the Queen Mother from her mother's house, and was often used for seeing things and thinking about people, and it was originally within his jurisdiction.
When I took it out and looked at it, it shattered.
It was quite normal for the Empress to punish him in anger.
Zheng Bao was willing to be punished.
Just kneeling in front of the palace gate of Kunning Palace and being looked at with strange eyes by all the palace eunuchs and eunuchs, he couldn't help but think: How could it be easily broken if it was built and placed in a box
And none of the eunuchs who had befriended him in the past stood up to speak for him.
Even if you are used to seeing the coldness of the people in the palace to protect your body, you can't help but feel a bit cold, right
Jiang Xuening appeared at this time.
A soft voice sounded a little deliberate, like those concubines in the harem who pretended to be weak, a little timid and a little timid.
At that time, Zheng Bao thought about which Miss Jiao was.
But who would have guessed that it was this "Miss Jiao"'s simple words that saved him from the harsh punishment of Kunning Palace.
The one who rescued him on the bright side was the Princess Leyang.
But anyone who stayed in the palace for two years could tell that it was Jiang Xuening who really saved him.
The kindness of Princess Leyang must be remembered in her heart, but it is the second girl Jiang who should be thanked more.
It was clear that he didn't know each other, but he passed by, and even the friends he knew in the past dared not intercede for him at this time, but there was such a stranger who met by chance to help him.
Zheng Bao felt that it was a ray of light that penetrated through the dark crevice.
Although there is only a trace of warmth, travelers who can migrate in the cold winter are willing to rely on this trace of warmth to believe in the kindness and harmony in the world, and believe that the sunny spring day will come soon.
He really came with an unfounded joy.
But the girl Jiang Er who saved him that day actually told him—
I save you, the purpose is not pure.
Zheng Bao was at a loss for a moment, and almost didn't react. When he really realized what Jiang Xuening said, something seemed to fall lightly in his heart.
He stared blankly at Jiang Xuening and was speechless.
Jiang Xuening asked him, "Are you disappointed?"
disappointment
Maybe not.
But there is always a bit of undeniable loneliness, after all, he thought that this girl was different from the rest of the palace.
Zheng Bao said slowly: "You confuse me a little."
Jiang Xuening couldn't explain why he blurted out that sentence at that moment. He probably still felt that he was unworthy, right
She smiled: "Then are you here to repay your kindness?"
Zheng Bao said: "It was originally planned."
Jiang Xuening raised his eyebrows slightly: "What about now?"
Maybe it was because her expression was too relaxed, and people unconsciously followed him to relax. Zheng Bao felt that his heavy mood was inexplicably lighter, and when he stared at Jiang Xuening, he realized that she was looking at him with a very serious look.
It's the look he's seen.
Just like the day she rescued him, there are thorns hidden under the beautiful appearance.
So there is a momentary trance: where is the same? Everyone in the palace can't wait to put thick masks on their faces layer after layer, so that people can't see themselves clearly. The girl in front of her is really real, so frankly speaking, there is another purpose in saving him.
If everyone in the palace is so magnanimous, where does the pickled filth come from
He suddenly couldn't help laughing, his eyes curved like two buds and crescent moons, and only said: "After you rescued me, if you don't say it, your purpose is indeed impure; but if you declare it in your mouth, your purpose is very pure."
Jiang Xuening nodded: "That's right, do you want to be kind to you and let you use it for me?"
Zheng Bao was startled, and said, "You are very magnanimous."
Jiang Xuening only mumbled, "That's when you never saw my hypocrisy."
But the voice was lowered.
She continued: "After all, I heard that Steward Zheng is an honest and good person. If he is loyal, he should hand it over to someone who is worthy. Me, I saved you and lied to you by saying that I saved you with good intentions. Later you found out. I'm not such a good person. Wouldn't that be shooting myself in the foot? Don't worry, I'll only stay in the palace for half a year, and honestly, I won't do anything bad to harm others. I'm just afraid that one day I will be alone and helpless. So I want to find someone to take care of it in advance, so that I won't be caught off guard if something happens. I wonder if Manager Zheng is willing to help?"
Zheng Bao was accustomed to the attitude of the people in the palace who spoke half-hidden and half-heartedly. See if anyone is nearby.
Just after reading it, I felt a strange sadness.
After entering the palace for many years, he has been domesticated by the palace, so that even though he has no intention of harming others, he is afraid that the walls will have ears.
The Jiang Er girl in front of her was certainly able to speak in front of Princess Leyang, and was favored by His Highness, but it was not uncommon for the palace to be honored and humiliated at the same time.
What's wrong with planning ahead
Besides, no matter what the purpose was, the other party saved him. Zheng Bao found that it was difficult for him to say the words of rejection, or his heart told him that he did not want to refuse.
The afterglow of the west slope poured out from the shadowy clouds, shone on the vermilion palace wall, and folded a touch of red, smudged on his delicate and still scarred cheeks, and even his eyebrows and eyes were melted with warmth. like.
Jiang Xuening suddenly discovered that this young eunuch was also very good looking.
Zheng Bao thought for a moment and replied, "You are my benefactor. If you really don't want to harm others, why can't Zheng Bao help?"
"I agreed." Although it was expected, she didn't expect it to be so easy, her eyes and brows were a little bit happy, and she finally reacted, "I saved you with an impure purpose, but I'm not a good person. Can he be considered your benefactor?"
Zheng Bao looked at her and smiled: "Some things should be judged regardless of the heart. If it is about the heart, how can there be any good people in the world?"
If it is about the mind, how can there be any good people in the world
Jiang Xuening was stunned when she heard the words.
At this moment, Zheng Bao felt that the expression on her face was a little lonely, as if she was trapped in some inescapable memory. At the end, a faint smile appeared on her lips, so the lonely end became a little brighter, and even a little bit brighter. Pride as proud.
She said to him firmly: "Yes."
Zheng Bao was stunned: "Who?"
Jiang Xuening became inexplicably happy, and took two steps forward with his hands behind his back, before stopping again. When he turned around, he had a bright smile on his face, and only said, "I have a chance to show you later."
The sky has dimmed, pressing down on the heavy Forbidden City.
But the girl's steps on the palace road seemed brisk.
Zheng Bao looked at her retreating back, didn't know why, then laughed, and suddenly thought: With such a young daughter's mood, she should be her sweetheart, right
Accidentally and easily got Zheng Bao, Jiang Xuening was in a good mood when he returned to Yangzhizhai.
The room has also been completely rearranged.
When I walked in, my eyes were full of fragrant soft splendor. The vase was replaced with white Ru kiln porcelain, the round table was replaced with carved red sandalwood lacquer, and the ordinary rice paper on the bookcase was replaced by a fine white deer paper. Not refined.
It's better than her boudoir in the mansion.
"It would be great if Your Highness the First Princess was a man." Jiang Xuening threw himself on the soft bed, resting on the soft pillow with silk embroidered face, and sighed comfortably, "Assist her to be the emperor, and I to be the queen. , is also excellent…”
Of course that's what I thought.
With Zhang Zha, she doesn't like anyone.
In the evening, after Yangzhizhai, everyone gathered in Liushui Pavilion to review the lessons learned today and take a look at the book that Mr. tomorrow was going to teach.
Although Jiang Xuening was at odds with most people, this kind of situation was meant to be there.
Because people like Xiao Shu, Chen Shuyi and others have excellent knowledge, and occasionally they will answer questions for others. Although she and them have a little bit of a festival, knowledge has nothing to do with enmity. for
So when the hour came, she also arrived early with the book.
However, there were still a few people who did not arrive at this time, and the crowd did not talk about reading and learning, but laughing at each other.
Yao Xi once again became the focus of everyone.
Zhou Baoying is the most lively and daring of all the people, she went up to grab Yao Xi's hand and shook it vigorously: "Sister Yao Xi, just say it, we all saw it this morning. The letter was handed over to the palace servant. It was fine, but we found that we all blushed when we saw it. Let's talk quickly, is there something about Ruyi Langjun?"
Jiang Xuening's fingers that had just opened the book suddenly stopped.
Yao Xi was embarrassed by their troubles, and stomped her feet: "It's annoying, you all come to trouble me!"
However, You Yue covered her lips and smiled, jokingly said, "Zhang Zhe Du has already taken the initiative to withdraw from the marriage. Sister Yao Xi has saved her energy by pushing the boat along the river. If you can't find a good marriage in the future, where is the reason why it can't be done?"
Everyone nodded.
But unexpectedly, Yao Xi glanced at You Yue and shook her head: "No."
You Yue didn't react: "No?"
Everyone was quiet for a while, and they all looked at Yao Xi in surprise.
On Yao Xi's white and tender cheeks, a touch of thin red gradually turned into crimson, she bit her lip slightly, and lowered her eyes with shyness, and said, "I changed my mind. He said that if he wanted to quit, he wanted to quit. It's so easy? After I've decided to leave, people still criticize me for some reason. It doesn't matter if his background is not good, it doesn't matter if he has a widowed mother, anyway, I have everything, and he doesn't need to worry about it. "
