Yi Xin as a concubine

Chapter 43 Chuxiu Palace

No matter how lively the night is or how many people are sleepless, the day will still dawn and life will still go on.

Xin Baoer and the other two were woken up by the noise.

We went to bed late yesterday and were sleeping soundly this morning. But the neighbors were making so much noise and it was so loud that the three of us couldn't fall asleep.

"What's wrong? Are you fleeing outside?" Zhao Xian stretched his arms and legs that had been squeezed all night, and muttered irritably.

"You're pressing on me." Wei Yu pushed away Zhao Xian's legs that were pressing on her, and stood up with a flutter.

As expected of a martial artist, he feels refreshed as soon as he takes action.

"I'm so sleepy!" Xin Baoer yawned like a kitten, arched her little head on the pillow, and closed her eyes again.

"Hehe, Baoer looks so cute when he wakes up!" Zhao Xian turned around and saw Xin Baoer's actions, and he was immediately awakened by her cuteness.

Xin Baoer had forgotten that she didn't sleep alone yesterday. Now she thought she was alone in the bed, so she showed her most relaxed state.

"Oh! Why are you all here?" Xin Baoer was completely awakened by Zhao Xian's smile.

"You're dreaming. We slept together yesterday. Have you forgotten?" Zhao Xian explained with a smile.

Xin Baoer was stunned for a moment. She actually slept with two unfamiliar people yesterday, and the key point was that she slept so soundly.

Does that mean her social phobia has really been cured?

is not it?

After a brief excitement, she finally realized her current situation and suddenly felt very shy, but she was already up and it was not good for her to shrink back into the quilt. She could only get up with a blushing face and get dressed and wash up.

There is no training today, but we still have to gather and rehearse the formation to prepare for entering the venue in the evening. We can't all rush in at once, that would be fun.

They lined up for the whole morning, knowing who went first and who went next, and who went next to whom. They just had to remember the order, and it wasn't very tiring, as they dispersed before noon.

The three little girls seemed to be closer now that they had slept together. On the way back to the small courtyard from the big courtyard in front, they were talking and laughing, and it was very lively.

"You may be so affectionate now, but you might get stabbed in the back someday. You really don't know how to live or die if you still want to make friends in a place like this."

A tall, beautiful woman walked past the three people and spoke with disdain.

"Hey, you..." Zhao Xian couldn't stand it anymore and immediately grabbed the man to argue with him.

Xin Baoer pulled the person back and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to take it to heart.

Seeing that the three men didn't move, the woman felt a little smug and turned back with a provocative smile.

Now even Wei Yu didn't want to endure it anymore and clenched her fists. If Xin Baoer hadn't held her back, she would have rushed out and slapped her twice.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth!" Xin Baoer patted one side on the back and the other side on the other side, and was busy and happy.

"You treat this as a business, and you think harmony brings wealth. What are you thinking?" Zhao Xian tapped Xin Baoer's forehead in dissatisfaction.

Xin Baoer just smiled gently, said nothing, and just looked at the two of them.

"Okay, let's go back. What's the point of getting angry with a stranger?" Zhao Xian was defeated in the end, and he pulled the two of them and quickly returned to the courtyard.

"I don't know what you are afraid of. She is alone, there are three of us, and there is also Wei Yu."

Zhao Xian thought about it and couldn't get over it, so he couldn't help but complain.

"Xian'er, people like her are like a toad that falls on your feet. They are not scary but annoying. I think there must be more than just a few of us who are annoying her, so why should we be the first to stand out?"

Seeing that Zhao Xian’s face was still tense, Xin Baoer smiled and pinched her little face.

"This is not our home ground. It's better to have less trouble than more. If we rashly come out and attract other people's attention, it will be even more difficult for us to protect ourselves."

Hearing this, Zhao Xian's tense face fell and he looked at the other two with some grievance.

It was an insignificant episode and the three carefree girls quickly forgot about it.

After lunch, he said goodbye to Mrs. Qin and the maid, and went back to his own room to pack his things.

At 5 p.m., all the girls were gathered at the front gate and then mercilessly driven into the carriages. A small carriage could fit eight or ten girls tightly.

The girls dared not breathe too loudly in the carriage, for fear that the rise and fall of their chests would squeeze the people nearby.

Xin Baoer was even more miserable, because she sadly discovered that her social phobia might have been almost cured, but a new problem had emerged.

She was almost suffocated by the scent of the girls' various rouges.

The carriage moved slowly and swayingly along the way. Xin Baoer felt dizzy and nauseous. Just when she could no longer hold on and was about to squeeze out of the carriage, the carriage stopped.

The girls escaped from the carriage as quickly as possible. They had been dressed up with rosy cheeks and shy and lovely looks when they went out, but now their faces were pale, their clothes were disheveled, and they were leaning on their knees and gasping for breath.

After four days of hastily crafting the etiquette, it had already been thrown into some corner.

"Look, look, what's this? One batch is getting worse than the other. Girls, don't just stand there. Come with us." The eunuch with a hoarse voice shouted with impatience and disgust on his face.

When the girls arrived at the new environment, no one dared to complain for a moment. They all put on their makeup and clothes obediently and followed the eunuchs who were leading the way carefully.

For a team of more than 200 people, even if they were just talking in low voices, the combined noise was enough to make an upset person even more upset, and this was the case with the young eunuch who was leading the way.

"Shut up! Where do you think this place is? If you don't want to be slapped, shut your mouth tighter."

The team was now silent, with nothing else to hear except the sound of footsteps.

Xin Baoer followed the crowd silently, looking at the towering city walls on both sides and the solemn guards, feeling a great sadness in her heart for no reason.

How many beauties are buried within the high walls and green tiles of this courtyard, and how much filth and dirt are hidden? Will they become one of them?

The future is like this long corridor with no end in sight, or like the sky blocked by high walls.

After walking for another half an hour, they finally saw the gate of a palace. The heavy red-painted door was wide open and the girls were urged to go in one by one.

Xin Baoer looked up at the plaque on the door, with gold characters on a blue background - Chuxiu Palace.

She frowned and her thumb nail dug into the soft flesh of her index finger. The pain made her temporarily forget her fear, but when she was about to raise her leg and step into the door, she still hesitated, and her body stopped stiffly at the door.

In Xin Baoer's eyes, the open door turned into the huge mouth of a monster, and these girls, who had no choice but to become sacrifices in the monster's mouth.

"Hurry up, don't block the road." An impatient hoarse voice pushed Xin Baoer and almost pushed her to the ground. Fortunately, Wei Yu reacted quickly and ran back in three or two steps to catch her.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Wei Yu asked in a low voice.

Xin Baoer shook her head and pulled Wei Yu to catch up with the main group.

After passing through the gate and walking around the screen wall painted with various pictures of maids, the view in front of you suddenly opens up. The towering palace is magnificent, with flying eaves and brackets crisscrossing each other.

The courtyard is filled with pavilions and towers, quiet and elegant, with green trees and colorful flowers, and you can smell the fragrance of the breeze.

Xin Baoer could hear the girls walking in front of her, who could not suppress their exclamations. Even the usually indifferent Wei Yu was overwhelmed by the sight, not to mention Zhao Xian, who was naturally lively. If she hadn't been holding her back, she would have probably run over to hug and touch him.

While others were looking at the scenery, Xin Baoer was looking at people. Her round eyes like a deer scanned all the girls within her sight.

The prosperous scene before them left them dumbfounded: rockery and strange rocks, gurgling water, exquisite pavilions, tall houses, and interior and exterior decorations were all gorgeous and dreamy. Everything was so dazzling.

Their eyes were attracted by this endless luxury, and how could the originally calm lake in their hearts not be rippled?

The luxurious environment is like a fire that ignites their deepest desires, making them yearn to become the protagonists of this palace and no longer be content with being ordinary.

Xin Baoer suddenly felt a chill in her spine, and the veins on her hands as she pulled Zhao Xian and Wei Yu became bulging from the excessive force.

"What's wrong?" The two felt something was wrong and asked her in unison.

Xin Baoer looked at the two concerned faces and couldn't help wondering if ambition would spread in their hearts, causing their innocent smiles to be gradually replaced by desire. Then they would start competing with each other for the seemingly unattainable glory.

"Can we both not change?" Xin Baoer pulled the two of them and said this almost pleadingly.
