In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

This thought only flashed through her mind. She had now returned to the Xu family's villa. In fact, she had stayed at home for two more days and was really bored.

I don't have many friends, I can only write letters to Lu Yan. But if I can only rely on writing letters, why don't I go to Lu Yan in person? Even if I'm afraid of the heat, my mother will definitely find me some ice.

She has been tired of playing with these mobile phones for some time, but after staying at home for 5 days, she was bored and began to want to return to Yunjin and explore some new journeys there.

Therefore, when I returned to Yunjin again, it was only half a day later.

"Didn't you go back to where you came from? Why are you back so soon?"

The uncle was a little confused. He had just taken a nap. Chu Qingyin left in the evening and it was not even noon yet. Why did she come back?

Chu Qingyin smiled awkwardly:

"It's not that I wanted to come back so soon, it's just that 10 days there is equivalent to one day here. I stayed at home for five days, so I came back in half a day."

My uncle responded thoughtfully:

"I see. Then even if you go back for a year, I'll only be able to see you once a month or so, and I won't miss you too much."

Chu Qingyin smiled:

"Is such that."

Hearing this, the uncle suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Chu Qingyin:

"Although the palace has many rules, your mother went to the palace a few days ago. The Empress said she missed you very much. Your mother wanted to take you with her today, but you had already left. Now that you are back, it is just right for you to go to the palace with your mother. His Royal Highness Prince Jing is also there."

The palace!

He had only appeared in her imagination before. Although the palace had many rules and regulations, he was very afraid that he would be beheaded if he did something wrong...

But with the Empress and her mother protecting her, nothing should happen. What's more, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is also protecting her. For the first time, she felt that the people she had been protecting could suddenly stand up to protect her. This feeling is really amazing.

"So you want to go?"

"Why not? I've never seen it before. It's my birthday. I want to see what the legendary palace looks like."

She had already felt its grandeur when she entered the palace, and her Xu family was no less impressive. However, this was the imperial palace, how could an ordinary house compare to it?

After saying this, she saw her mother had packed up and came out from the backyard. She turned around and was shocked to see her daughter.

"Didn't you leave yesterday? Why are you back today?"

Chu Qingyin: ...

"This is different at different times, mother, you should know that."

"Oh, oh, good, you're back. It's time to pack up and let's go to the palace together. Prince Jing is chatting with the Queen right now. The Queen misses you so much and wants to see you."

When the two of them entered the harem for the first time, she realized that Lu Qian was not just the queen and imperial concubine whom she often saw. Although these two were favored, the other concubines of lower rank in the palace were as numerous as the little flowers in the palace.

"Mother, the one in front..."

Chu Qingyin lowered her voice and asked softly, looking at the concubine in front of her who was a little glamorous but had strange behavior.

"This is just an ordinary noble lady. There are probably more than ten people with such a title in the palace."

Chu Qingyin was shocked by this. She thought she was the most flamboyantly dressed person in the entire capital. After all, her mother always emphasized that the Xu family must not lose face. Moreover, she had just arrived and she was determined to raise her daughter's status to the highest level among the noble ladies in the capital.

But he didn't expect that even the clothes worn by a small noble in the palace were of a higher quality than his own.

Even more so, what if one is not rich or poor? The extravagance in this palace is simply unimaginable.

As soon as I entered the palace, I saw that its structure was very beautiful. Even the glazed bricks and tiles above the main gate of the palace were as beautiful as works of art.

Even the stone lions around the body are made of gold, and the cost alone is probably more than hundreds of millions...

Although he really wanted to complain about the emperor's poor aesthetic taste, this was indeed very valuable...

As the two of them were walking forward, they saw the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness Prince Jing drinking tea in the pavilion in the distance. Before they could go over, they saw an ordinary person here teaching a servant a lesson.

"How dare you! This is the bracelet given to me by the emperor, and you broke it so easily! Even if I gave you 10 lives, you wouldn't be enough to compensate me. Do you know that?"

The Empress seemed to be accustomed to this and usually took care of such matters, but the little maid did break the bracelet first. Moreover, she was the personal maid of the woman in front of her and was brought from home, so it was difficult for her to say anything.

Chu Qingyin was shocked. She didn't expect that human life could be so cheap that it was worth more than just a bracelet.

"Please, Lady Li, spare my life. I really didn't mean it..."

The small ring on the ground almost broke the head, and Chu Qingyin couldn't bear to see it:

"Why did Mother do this?"

As they were far away, they could not hear clearly, so his mother whispered to him:

"The cheapest thing in the palace is the life of a slave, and these bracelets are usually the best of the best when sent to the palace as tribute, so the price of this bracelet may be the life of many people."

"A bracelet is just a bracelet. Why can it take someone's life? These girls don't understand."

"You really don't understand. The mining sites for these bracelets are already extremely dangerous, but to reduce costs, the craftsmen have to do the work of many people alone. Many people die while pulling the carts."

"Not only that, even those carved generals could lose their lives if they accidentally damaged a bracelet. Now, everyone in the palace is dressed in gorgeous attire, but which piece of jewelry on them hasn't been stained with blood?"

Chu Qingyin felt mixed emotions when she heard her mother say this.

I didn't expect these things to be like deadly scimitars.

Now they suddenly felt that all the jewelry worn by everyone in the air were like roses that could only grow by sucking human blood.

Gorgeous, poisonous, cold.

"Qingyin, why didn't you tell me you were here?"

The Queen Mother was sitting there, and when she saw Xu Qingyin coming, she even stood up.

"Oh, you really forgot about me when you saw my daughter. You never ignored me like this before and called me your daughter."

Master Xu joked.
