"Empress..."
Gao Lishi called out in a low voice, and Wu Meiniang waved her hand and used a burst of energy to seal Gao Lishi's acupuncture points.
When the few slaves following him saw this posture, they quickly covered their mouths with their hands and took a few steps back, looking at Gao Lishi in shock.
Gao Lishi had a grimace on his face, he had provoked someone.
Wu Meiniang didn't intend to disturb these two people. She planned to see what else they could say.
Mrs. Zheng was dressed in white clothes with patches. She was not even forty years old, but her face was very haggard and her figure was thin. Her long, withered hair was tied up casually. After drying the clothes, she turned around and continued to wash the clothes.
And beside her, there were many clothes waiting for her to continue washing. These were the jobs she took on in the palace. Although she was not rich, she could survive and leave a little money for her daughter in the future.
The little girl was writing on the ground with the water dripping from her clothes.
Wu Meiniang was stunned, standing behind her clothes, just watching this scene quietly.
He even bent his head slightly unconsciously, just to see their faces clearly.
Their lives were bleak, but Wu Meiniang felt a warm atmosphere from them. She suddenly felt that this picture and this feeling seemed very familiar...
At this moment, a eunuch wearing coarse cloth came over carrying two loads of water.
Mrs. Zheng stood up quickly, wiped the water droplets on her body with both hands, and reached out to take the bucket.
"Oh, Eunuch Lin, why did you bother me to carry water again? I should be there."
Eunuch Lin laughed: "Oh, it doesn't matter, we all make a living here, and it's normal to help each other. Besides, I'm not an ordinary person. I've been practicing for more than ten years, and now I'm a real little star! I'm much stronger than you!" "
Mrs. Zheng also chuckled, wrung out a hand towel, and stepped forward to wipe the sweat from Eunuch Lin's forehead.
"Your bodhisattva heart is rare. We, mother and daughter, have been blessed by you for so many days. We are really ashamed. Please come and have a rest."
"It doesn't matter. I ran around twice before carrying the water, otherwise I wouldn't have sweated."
As Eunuch Lin said this, he wanted to help pour the dirty water.
When Mrs. Zheng saw this scene, she quickly took action: "I'll do it. You can rest quickly."
When the two were fighting for each other, Mrs. Zheng couldn't grab Eunuch Lin and accidentally let go of her hand. Eunuch Lin used too much force and the basin of water flew out.
Wow...
The entire basin of water passed through the clothes that were drying and spilled onto Wu Meiniang's lower body.
Wu Meiniang was so absorbed in watching it that she didn't use her inner strength to stop it, so she just got wet.
Zheng was startled when she saw Wu Meiniang behind the clothes.
Although his family was not executed, they would not have been in such a situation if they had not been imprisoned!
That's why she hated Wu Mei Niang deeply, with a fierce look in her eyes.
But when she thought of their identities, she glanced at her daughter again, and because she had splashed dirty water on her, she quickly knelt on the ground.
"This slave is here to see your Majesty and beg your Majesty... Your Majesty to forgive me!"
When Eunuch Lin, who was carrying a basin, heard her calling her empress, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
He had never seen Wu Meiniang, but now that he had seen her, she poured water on her. He felt that his life was gone!
The little girl on the ground was also frightened by the sound of Eunuch Lin falling down, and quickly stood up and turned her head.
When the little girl saw Wu Meiniang, her attention was instantly attracted.
She is dignified yet charming, gorgeous yet reserved. Her hair is rolled up high and paired with twelve jade hairpins, shining like feathers.
Wearing a beautiful golden harem, even at dusk, the sun shines brightly and gracefully, like a phoenix descending from the sky.
Her whole body exuded nobility and breathtaking charm.
A few years ago, Wu Meiniang had used some means to get the Immortality Gu from Sun Simiao, and what Li Zhi said was to keep her face youthful and beautiful.
"This sister is so beautiful..."
Wu Meiniang was attracted by her words.
The little girl has an oval face, a pair of beautiful big eyes, and is very spiritual. Although her eyebrows are not pretty, they look very simple.
Like a budding flower.
Wu Meiniang could see the envy and longing for her clothes in her eyes.
Her appearance is so similar to when she was a child...
When the little girl came to her senses, she quickly imitated her mother's example and knelt on the ground.
Wu Meiniang slowly looked at Mrs. Zheng.
"Are you the wife of Shangguan Tingzhi?"
"yes."
"Besides my daughter, are there any other clan members in the palace?"
"without."
Mrs. Zheng seemed unwilling to say another word.
Wu Meiniang naturally knew that they hated her. If it were her, she would hate them too.
If a concubine in the harem dared to talk to her like this, she would definitely end badly, but Zheng was already the lowest-status person, and now she could still be neither humble nor arrogant, which made her feel a sense of appreciation.
"For such a long time, you have to work hard and teach your daughter to read and calligraphy. It's quite difficult for you."
Mrs. Zheng thought to herself, aren’t you responsible for all this?
But he still said respectfully: "No matter how difficult life is, we still have to go on. Everything is reincarnated by fate. All endings are God's grace. My mother and daughter accept their fate and live peacefully."
"Submit your destiny..." Wu Meiniang was tired of hearing these words!
Her mother had told her since she was a child, Li Zhi had also told her, and just now even the leader of the Xuantian Sect had told her!
Destiny, destiny!
She just doesn't believe that her fate is all planned by God!
Wu Meiniang lifted the little girl up with her inner strength and asked in a calm tone: "How old are you?"
The little girl learned the etiquette of meeting a driver from her mother, and of course she knew who should be the person or woman giving the big salute.
Perhaps because she lives at the bottom and is in misery, she is somewhat fearless and courageous by nature.
After hearing the question, she raised her head and looked at Wu Meiniang without fear.
"This slave is only fourteen years old."
"How old?"
"fourteen..."
"Fourteen years old...how could..." Wu Meiniang took two steps forward and stared at the little girl condescendingly. Perhaps because she felt that just looking at her was not enough, she later reached out and lifted her chin to look around.
After half an hour, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but sigh.
picture!
so similar!
I think she was fourteen years old when she entered the palace. She was also so graceful and graceful, and she also worked hard to learn and practice calligraphy.
It's just that their identities are different. She is a talented person in the palace, while she is a slave.
But they have a lot in common, such as their father's death, living under someone else's roof, and living with their mother.
Today, she has come step by step to where she is today!
"Sister...oh no, empress...it hurts." The little girl's chin was pinched so much that it hurt.
Mrs. Zheng looked panicked and didn't care about anything else. She stood up and pushed Wu Meiniang away, holding her daughter in her arms.
"Please be merciful. My mother and daughter have never done anything wrong. Just let us go."
Wu Meiniang ignored it, but looked at the little girl and asked, "What's your name?"
The girl said calmly: "My name is Shangguan Wan'er."
