The concubine entered the palace and the concubine was very attractive

In the sixty-seventh year of the Northern Dynasty, autumn arrived.

The cold palace gradually heard about a crazy concubine who liked to laugh foolishly. She stared straight at the indescribable big tree in the cold palace courtyard. It had no leaves and only desolation was left.

This matter was spread by the palace maid who was cleaning the cold palace.

When she went to the cold palace to clean that day, she was frightened half to death by the inhuman figure and the laughter. When she got closer, she realized that it was a concubine in the cold palace.

The woman standing under the lonely dead tree was wearing tattered clothes.

If you look closely, you can see delicate patterns on the clothes, which are only worn by concubines.

But the clothes have been worn out after years of bumps and bruises.

His face was pale, his eyes were obsessed, and he held a jade-colored comb in his hand.

Suddenly one day, the rumor about this crazy concubine reached Nanxiang's ears. She recalled the past and finally remembered this person.

It was her half-sister Song Wanru.

A concubine who has been in the cold palace for more than ten years.

……

On this day, the originally lonely cold palace was filled with more noises and movements.

"give me back……"

"Give it back to me..."

"Please give it back to me..."

Song Wanru tightly grasped the feet of the palace maid who was sweeping the floor. She had already prostrated herself on the ground, rubbing her body against the wet and muddy ground, begging for mercy all the time.

There was a flash of panic in the palace maid's eyes and her tone was full of determination. She kept kicking her.

"open!"

"Let me go now!"

In addition to more dust, there were also more bloodstains on Song Wanru's face.

Several days ago, this palace maid had taken a fancy to the emerald green jade comb in Song Wanru's hand. It was combed to be crystal clear and the material must be emerald green jadeite. If it was pawned, it would definitely be worth a lot of money.

But she was still a little panicked about snatching something from this person. Although Song Wanru was in the cold palace, she was still a concubine after all. If she was seen by others, she would be in trouble.

But how could the palace maid, whose heart was blinded by greed, be willing to just look at this jade comb?

"Please give it back to me!"

Seeing that Song Wanru was grabbing her ankle and refusing to let go, she became ruthless and picked up the broom and hit her on the head a few times.

"You are a filthy person who will be buried at any time. What are you going to do with such a good thing? You might as well help me."

Song Wanru, who was hit so hard by the broom, no longer had the strength to hold the palace maid's ankle. She collapsed and her head felt dizzy.

These few blows woke her up, and some blood oozed from her nose.

"I, Song Wanru, was originally loved by someone..."

……

Twenty years ago, the new emperor of the Northern Dynasty ascended the throne.

Emperor Gu Junshen pardoned all civil and military officials, and Song Feiren was also appointed a minor official as county magistrate, becoming the chief official of Yiyang County.

On the streets of Yiyang County.

"Miss! Unmarried women should not show their faces in public!"

The maid Yingxue hurriedly put a veil on Song Wanru's face.

"Oh! Huayanzhai has released new rouge today. I have to buy a few boxes before other ladies do." Song Wanru walked hurriedly, speaking in a somewhat coquettish tone.

"Just let me buy it. The master just said that the streets are in chaos soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the young lady is not allowed to go out at will."

Yingxue's tone was full of panic as she followed Song Wanru, who was walking in a hurry. The young lady was always disobedient and ran out of the Song Mansion. If anything happened, she would be to blame.

"What do you ignorant servants have to say? Can you buy what I like?"

Song Wanru stopped and cursed at Yingxue who was following behind her.

Yingxue felt aggrieved after being scolded by Song Wanru, but she was also doing it for the good of her own young lady.

"That's enough! Stop whispering in my ear all the time. It's annoying. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will father know?"

Song Wanru thought so, her tone full of impatience, and her pace quickened a bit.

……

"Young Master! It's too high! Come down quickly!" The servant Shu Jin looked at the young master Xu Ziang who had already climbed up the tree, his eyes full of anxiety.

His young master is good in every way except that he is too kind. If possible, he will pick up any kittens or puppies that pass by and take them home to raise.

The Xu Mansion looked more like a breeding farm than an ordinary government official's residence. The noises of cats and dogs in the mansion were louder than those of people.

The master beat him or scolded him, but it was all in vain. He threw the cats and dogs away, and picked them up again the next day.

He had no choice but to build a fence in Xu Ziang's own yard to prevent the cats and dogs from running around and disturbing the entire mansion.

"It's okay! I've climbed up here countless times. Once I rescue the cat, I'll go down."

Xu Ziang turned a deaf ear to it, his eyes fixed on the white kitten that dared not move on the branch, and reached out to pick it up.

"Ouch! Master, be careful."

Seeing Xu Ziang slipping, Shu Jin was so scared that his face turned pale and his heart was about to jump out.

Fortunately, Xu Ziang calmed down.

The kitten probably smelled the kitten scent that had accumulated on his body for many years, so it tilted its head and slowly walked towards him, rubbing its head against the palm of his hand several times.

"Good boy! You can't come down, right? Don't climb so high next time."

Xu Ziang smiled knowingly, took the kitten into his arms, and then began to climb down along the branch.

Seeing that there were no branches left and they were still two meters away from the ground, he grabbed the kitten and jumped down without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Song Wanru who was walking towards him.

"what----!"

Song Wanru was frightened half to death by the sudden appearance of the figure, and the veil on her face fell off as she waved her hands.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a handsome young man holding a kitten and smiling happily. All of a sudden, her heart began to beat like a drum. The noise on the street seemed to disappear, leaving only the sound of her own heartbeat.

She felt that she was probably moved.

After confirming that the kitten in his arms was okay, Xu Ziang looked up at Song Wanru, who was frightened and dazed like the other kitten.

"Miss! I'm sorry! I didn't notice someone coming."

"Miss!"

Seeing that Song Wanru was so frightened that her veil and hat fell off, revealing her face in front of the strange man, Yingxue quickly picked up the hat and put it back on Song Wanru's head.

At the same time, he put his hands on his waist and said to Xu Ziang opposite him without any politeness, "You rough man. Why are you so rude? It's ok to scare my young lady, but why are you staring at my young lady?"

Song Wanru also felt a little embarrassed after hearing this. She lowered her head and glared at Yingxue through her veil.

"Okay Yingxue! I guess this young master didn't do it on purpose. Why is he being so aggressive?"

"No, Miss, I..."

Yingxue was about to say something, but stopped abruptly after hearing what Song Wanru said. She was unable to vent her anger for a moment and puffed up her cheeks.

"Alright! My master has already apologized, what else do you want?"

After confirming that his son was not injured, Shu Jin felt extremely powerless after listening to Yingxue's words and directly retorted to her.

Didn’t her young lady always look at his young master?

So her daughter is so precious and still in the boudoir, while his son is so vulgar? What kind of logic is this?

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'? Am I wrong? Your young lady has been staring at my young master. She has no shame!"

"That's just far-fetched talk!"

Yingxue became furious when she heard that. Is it a competition to see who has the loudest voice?

"Okay Shujin! It was indeed my fault. And you should be nicer to the two girls. After all, you have studied in a private school."

Seeing the two of them chattering non-stop and refusing to give in to each other, Xu Ziang immediately turned around and scolded Shu Jin.

Then he said to Song Wanru and the others in a friendly manner, "I'm sorry. My servant was naughty, I hope you two ladies don't take it to heart."

"Nothing! My servant's tone was a bit bad, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

As Song Wanru spoke, her face became more shy. She picked up the handkerchief hanging around her waist and smiled gently.

However, when she looked up at Xu Ziang, she found that he had already walked away.

She stamped her feet in anger and tried to chase after him, but was stopped by Yingxue who was standing beside her.

"Miss! How can you chase after someone of your wealth? Wouldn't that make people laugh at you?"

As Yingxue spoke, she looked around and found that many people were already looking at them. She immediately became panicked and lowered her head even lower.

Upon hearing this, Song Wanru realized that this was an indecent act, so she could only watch Xu Ziang leave.

"This young master is truly one of a kind in the world!"

Looking at the figure in front that had long disappeared, Song Wanru's eyes were still full of stars.

"Miss!" Yingxue called out helplessly as she saw her young lady being bewitched by that man.

"Yingxue! I'm going to Huayanzhai to buy some rouge. Go check for me the details of the man holding the cat just now."

Song Wanru didn't realize the complaint in Yingxue's tone and gave her instructions.

"Miss! This is against the rules! As the legitimate daughter of the Song family, how can you privately investigate a man of unknown origin?"

Yingxue was shocked when she heard her mistress's arrangement, and her anxiety was evident on her face.

"Yingxue! Is it a big deal to ask you to do something now? I'm not asking you to go in person. Go back to the Song Mansion and find a servant. I think the young master should have gone to Jingshui Tower."

"Oh! Hurry up. Otherwise, the young master will leave."

"Then Miss, be careful!"

Yingxue had no choice but to follow the young lady's instructions and go to the Song Mansion to summon the servants.

……

That night.

In the backyard of the Song Mansion, a bright orange oil lamp was lit in Song Wanru's room.

After returning from Huayanzhai after buying rouge, Song Wanru has been absent-minded.

While eating, he was also picking at his food, which caused Song Feiren to ask him about it with concern.

At this moment, she was staring at herself in the bronze mirror, playing with the rouge box she had just bought in her hands.

The originally exquisite and precious rouge box now seemed dull.

"I don't know what family that young master came from?"

Song Wanru first saw his face and then observed his clothes. The brocade he was wearing was not something that ordinary people could afford, so he must have come from a good family.

In this way, her father should not hinder her too much.

After a while, Yingxue came with the information the servants had found out.

When Song Wanru saw Yingxue, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes that was rarely seen under normal circumstances.

"But what did the investigation reveal?"

Yingxue just nodded slightly.

When Yingxue heard the news about Xu Ziang from the servant, she was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the vulgar person she mentioned was actually the son of the county magistrate from the neighboring county.

"This man is called Xu Ziang, and his servant is called Shujin. He is the eldest son of the county magistrate next door. He passed the examination and became a scholar last year, but for some reason, he is not interested in studying and just wants to travel around."

Yingxue frowned as she spoke. How could such an uneducated young man be worthy of her young lady?

"He's actually the eldest son of the county magistrate next door. This is truly a match made in heaven!" When she heard Yingxue say that Xu Ziang was the eldest son of the county magistrate next door, she couldn't hear anything else.
