A piece of Japanese incense

After my sweet talk, everyone's anger subsided a lot.

I thought to myself, "Considering my age in real life, I'm old enough to be your mother! How can I not handle you childish brats?"

I sat back in my chair and blew my nose.

"I'm still a little dizzy. I wonder what the sisters came to see me about?"

"We came here to tell you that if you share our honor and disgrace, we will not treat you unfairly. But if you can't see the situation clearly, you will be an enemy of Princess Yan. You have experienced it today. You have no food to eat and the place you live in is the most shabby!"

"What do you mean by being enemies or not? I don't understand. I can't concentrate on my studies and just want to play. If the teacher tests me in the future, my sisters and I have to help me!" He blew his nose hard with a handkerchief.

"You're smart! Let them bring you dinner today. As for the yard you live in, it depends on your performance~"

My eyes widened, a hint of surprise flashed in them, I jumped up and ran towards her, rolling my eyes impatiently.

"Sister, you are so nice! You are beautiful, kind-hearted and have a nice voice! I didn't eat lunch and I'm starving!" As he said this, he took out a handkerchief and pretended to blow his nose hard, then "accidentally" flicked the snot on the handkerchief onto her body.

"How dare you! What are you doing!" he accused loudly.

I looked at the goose bumps on her neck and secretly rejoiced in my heart: "Ahhhhhh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I have too much snot! Sister, take it off quickly and let my maid wash it for you!"

"This is a two-flowered brocade made of ink and paint! Do you think you can just wash it? What if it gets damaged?"

"The daughter of a small family is so vulgar!"

I pinched my nose again and sneezed. Everyone screamed "Ah!", glanced at me sideways, and hid three steps away.

"I'm so sorry, I, ah... Qiu~ I really can't control myself! Sorry, so rude! Cough~tui~" He coughed as he spoke, and coughed out the mucus deep in his throat towards the group of people.

"That's enough! I've always said you're shallow, stupid, and a fool, but today I've finally seen what you're really like! Forget it! I won't argue with you!" The leading woman looked at me with contempt and deep disgust, holding up her skirt and walking out of the yard quickly. The little follower rolled his eyes at me, snorted coldly, and chased after me.

"The girls performed really well just now. I really hope they all catch a cold and get sick!" Seeing them leave the yard, Yu Tuan immediately applauded and praised them.

"Yutuan'er, your daughter is really not feeling well~"

Yuyi helped me sit back on the chair, her voice trembling unconsciously: "Girl, I was really scared just now. I'm afraid we'll be bullied on our first day here. What will we do in the future?"

"Yutuan, you are such a coward. What are you afraid of? From childhood to adulthood, has our girl ever suffered any harm?"

"How is that the same, Yu Tuan? You were too impulsive just now. You spoke rashly. Have you ever thought about what might happen if you said something wrong and it would implicate our girl?"

"I just said that because I can't stand them slandering our girl! Are you going to be like you, doing nothing and letting them bully you?"

"Stop! Stop! Shut up! What's going on? What are you two doing? Are you fighting among yourselves again? The enemy hasn't retreated yet, and yet we're already falling apart internally?" I pounded on the table, feeling upset.

The two people immediately became quiet.

"Hurry!"

The two shook hands and hugged, "Unity is strength~Unity is strength~This strength..."

Listening to the two people singing, my thoughts went blank and my head was empty.

It will take another two or three years, dammit! I still need to read more books, and it would be more realistic to find a way to return to the modern world as soon as possible. I can't live in this palace with intrigues and live in disgrace. And if Zhi Yihe turns 15, won't he have to get married and have children? No! No! I have to go back! I have to take the college entrance examination! I still have a bright and beautiful future!

Before the hour of You, the sky had darkened. Yutuan and Yuyi had finally cleared the weeds in the yard. They were so tired that they sat on the stone steps in front of the door and looked at the moon that had just risen.

I also memorized the palace map given to me by Eunuch Ming'en, and planned to run to the library to explore after it got dark.

As expected, the imperial kitchen delivered food: salt duck, fried chicken, fried tofu, dried plum fish, lotus seed soup, and a plate of candied golden peaches and candied longans.

I ate a lot of walnuts and almonds in the afternoon, but I’m not very hungry.

I scooped a spoonful of fried tofu and tasted it carefully. Wow, he is indeed a royal chef! The outside is crispy, the inside is soft and smooth, and the spicy flavor of pepper and cumin is amazing. It seems that a trip to the palace is not bad. The accumulated unhappiness in my heart was instantly dissipated by the delicious food.

Yutuan was eating very enthusiastically, eating very fast and wolfing down the food. I suddenly thought of Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, and I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at, girl! Hurry up and eat more now, or you might have nothing to eat tomorrow." Yutuan looked at me in confusion, not forgetting to put a few mouthfuls of rice into his mouth.

"Miss, the old lady doesn't have many snacks for you. We can't eat whenever and whatever we want like we do in the mansion." Yu Yi advised earnestly.

"You two have worked hard, eat quickly! I'm going to Wenyuan Pavilion soon, you two should make the bed and go to bed early."

Without waiting for them to speak, I went to look for clothes in the box.

Just after the hour of Xu, I sneaked out of the girls' school wearing a dark crimson silk jacket with water patterns.

The night was warm and quiet. The moonlight was reflected on the palace road, the night wind was howling, and countless horror movie scenes flashed by. The more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I put my hands together, and my heart was pounding.

I leaned my back against the back door of Wenyuan Pavilion, not daring to move, and swallowed my saliva in fear. I was almost discovered by the patrolling soldiers.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead. It seemed so easy to pick a lock when I saw others doing it, but it was so difficult for me to do it myself. It seems that I need to practice more and not just talk about it.

The inside of the pavilion was pitch black and extremely quiet; the only sound that could be heard was the sound of small fish swimming in the rectangular pool in front of the pavilion.

I crouched down, trying not to make any noise. I groped my way to the front of the building and found a door lock.

Just as I took off my hairpin and prepared to pick the lock again, I saw a flickering beam of light reflecting a human figure through the gap between the buildings, and I quickly squatted down.

An old man hobbled to the rockery beside the pond. The lantern in his hand blended with the moonlight, and the halo of light fell on the bluestone slabs under his feet, reflecting his hunched shadow and the flickering candlelight.

I watched the old man feeding the fish, talking to myself for an unknown amount of time. I tried rubbing my arms with both hands, and the cold silence filled the air around me.

In the end, I decided to go back to the Women's School and make long-term plans.

With trembling shoulders, he closed the back door of Wenyuan Pavilion.

A mottled figure flashed across the wall in an instant, moving swiftly and disappearing in the darkness in an instant.

My mind went blank, I took a deep breath, and stood still. After a pause, I gritted my teeth, turned around with a smile on my face, which was originally full of panic. A silence enveloped the earth, with only the shadows of trees and flowers swaying in the wind.

I let out a sigh of relief and ran all the way back to the girls' school.
