I’m Determined To Be the Dark Moonlight

In the plot of the original book, the episode of the Queen Mother's birthday is also a highlight in the history of the heroine's abuse.

On the 50th birthday of the Empress Dowager East, the palace was very lively, and every concubine in the palace racked their brains for the gift. The most common and safest ones are all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, jewelry and porcelain, but the Queen Mother has been honored for decades and used to seeing these things, so there is nothing new.

Some concubines will embroider the drapery embroidery by themselves to show their filial piety and their exquisite female workers.

In the original book, the heroine also prepared a hand-sewn Baihe Yi. Crane symbolizes longevity and auspiciousness, and it is also the bird of immortals believed in Taoism.

But in that birthday banquet, the congratulatory gift she sent was exchanged and turned into a crumpled and crumpled clothes.

The empress dowager was furious. The emperor wanted to protect her, but the empress dowager was so angry that she had to be imprisoned in An Le Tang for three months. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as being thrown into the cold palace.

The life in the cold palace is miserable, and the days of the past when the grace of grace was prosperous were like heaven and earth, and only two little girls followed loyally.

The heroine has been tempered here, getting worse and stronger.

But this is only the first time the heroine has entered the cold palace. After that, she will go in and out three times, getting worse and worse, and getting stronger and stronger, until she reaches the top.

At this time, the heroine didn't know her sad fate, she smiled brightly at Weiying: "Yingying, what have you prepared?"

Wei Ying said calmly, "I'm not prepared."

Xiao Qianxue was slightly startled, "But, but the concubines have to send gifts. Didn't Sister Xian tell us? If you don't, the queen mother will blame us."

Wei Ying smiled: "It's okay, I don't need to prepare for my birthday gift." She winked at Xiao Qianxue, "I will definitely give the Queen Mother an unforgettable birthday banquet."

Xiao Qianxue's heart was thumping, she clutched her chest and gasped, "Suck—"

"Stop smoking!" Wei Ying interrupted the casting, clenched the reins, and clenched her legs, the thunder galloped away, and the oncoming wind carried her hair flying in the wind, dyed pale gold by the setting sun, "Come on. chase me!"

Xiao Qianxue laughed, grabbed the reins, and chased after her: "Is there a reward for catching up with you?"

Wei Ying turned her head, her eyebrows raised wantonly, "Catch up with me, you can do whatever you want."

When Xiao Qianxue heard it, it was as if she had been beaten with blood, and she chased after him on horseback, but she found out with sadness that even if she was beaten with blood, she would not be able to catch up with Yingying. She was afraid that Xiaolihua would be exhausted, so she had to turn the horse's head over and dismount.

Wei Ying also led the horse over.

Xiao Qianxue pursed her lips and said unconvincingly, "I have learned to ride horses since I was a child, so how come my riding skills are not as good as yours?"

Wei Ying smiled lazily: "I have practiced."

Their missionaries are so almighty.

Xiao Qianxue was startled again, looked her up and down, her eyes suspicious.

The current Weiying has slowly emerged from that pale and sickly disguise, and has become... very dazzling.

Xiao Qianxue suddenly thought of the pale and delicate face of the girl when she first met her, and her eyes filled with tears, she felt as if they were separated from each other, as if they were two people. She also smiled suddenly, to dispel her doubts, and put her hand around Wei Ying's shoulder, and returned to the Yulu Palace together.

"Yingying, to be honest, if I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, I would think some old monster got on you and borrowed your skin to make you change so much."

Wei Ying made a serious statement: "I'm not old."

Xiao Qianxue was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Yingying, you really know how to joke!"

Weiying: "...I'm serious."

But obviously the heroine won't believe her honest confession, she will forget about it after giggling, and drag Weiying to see her embroidered Baiheyi.

The road cloak is on the front, the collar is inlaid with oriental pearls, and the dark blue silk bottom is embroidered with many flying cranes with silver thread.

The crane's feathers are bright and lifelike, surrounded by faint clouds and mist, full of fairy spirit.

Wei Ying sighed silently in her heart, it turns out that the embroidery can really reach the description in the book, as if it came alive. The breeze blew, the cloak fluttered slightly, and hundreds of cranes fluttered in the wind, like a fairyland.

In the book, Gong Beinu stole the heroine's Baiheyi and gave it to the Queen Mother.

When the queen mother saw Baiheyi, she was very happy. All the people present praised such exquisite embroidery work. Gong Beinu made a big splash because of this, and went from Jieyu to Zhaorong.

The thief profited in a grand manner, but the original owner was thrown into the cold palace bitterly.

Wei Ying lovingly hugged Xiao Qianxue, "Put things away carefully, and be careful to steal them from others."

Xiao Qianxue patted her chest, making sure to put the congratulations in the box, and the outside was locked.

Wei Ying watched her lock the congratulatory gift with a click, looked around and asked, "Where's Aunt Dong?"

"I don't know, she often goes out, maybe to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

——

Dong E is now in the Nonghua Hall, sandwiched between the two sisters of the Gong family, feeling the death gaze from the superior.

After the fragrant powder incident, Concubine Shu finally learned to be good, and she was willing to take her sister with her when she did bad things. ‘

After all, taking Gong Pei Nu wouldn't help much, but not taking her would definitely be a disservice.

She shook the small fan, sighed that she was tired, and asked Dong E, "Do you know what gifts the two of them have prepared this time?"

Dong E lowered her hands and answered honestly: "Xiao Guiren embroidered a coat of eastern pearls and a hundred cranes with a collar, which is exquisite and ingenious."

Gong Beinu snorted, raised his chin, and commented, "It's nothing unusual, what about the Weiying?"

Dong E shook her head: "I didn't see Mrs Yinggui making any preparations."

Gong Beinu frowned, leaned forward, and asked again, "Aren't you prepared?"

Dong E: "Yes."

Gong Beinu: "Don't she know that it's her aunt's birthday soon? If she doesn't give gifts to the queen mother, she won't be afraid of her aunt's punishment?"

Concubine Shu thought of Wei Ying's usual behavior, her heart sank suddenly, and she always felt that something bad happened.

Gong Beinu didn't care, and continued to mock: "The wild girl from the countryside doesn't even know how to prepare gifts for the Queen Mother, what did she do when I saw her? Sister, the phoenix Yu Fei jade carving we gave is the most precious, this time for sure No one can steal our thunder."

The gift they prepared was a jade sculpture. Jade is the most precious and rare Hetian jade used, and the master who holds the knife and carves is Lu Shi, who has been famous for dozens of years and a piece of work is hard to find in the world. The Gong family imprisoned Master Lu for three years, and finally got this jade carving, which was given to the Queen Mother for this birthday celebration.

Gong Pei Nu straightened her waist proudly, thinking to herself, they are the ones who spend the most on the queen mother, this jade carving will definitely blind the eyes of those concubines who have never seen the world, and open their eyes.

Concubine Shu ignored her sister and asked Dong E, "How about Xiao Qianxue's embroidery?"

Dong E thought for a moment and said, "Very good."

Concubine Shu asked again: "Jade carving and Baihe clothing, which one do you think aunt would like?"

Dong E glanced at them, and carefully expressed her opinion: "The Baihe clothing is very delicate, it is not inferior to the phoenix jade carving, and the empress dowager is always faithful and loves cranes. Xiao Guiren's embroidery is novel and full of his own feelings. And jade carvings are precious, and the Queen Mother has seen something more precious than this..."

"Presumptuous!" Gong Pei Nu patted the table and patted his hand in pain, grinning in pain and scolding as he waved his hand: "Do you think our congratulations are inferior to the few pheasants she casually embroidered?"

Dong E was silent.

She knew that she shouldn't tell the truth to her superiors who are not very smart.

Concubine Shu took her sister's hand and rubbed her claws: "Okay, okay, why are you angry? No matter what the gift Xiao Qianxue prepared, we can just replace it for her in advance.

Gong Beinu's talent villain attribute is eager to try again: "Leap!"

Concubine Shu and Dong E were silent together.

Gong Beinu's eyes lit up: "Is this not good?"

Concubine Shu sighed and rubbed her aching brows: "Bei Nu, it's almost winter now, and there are no toads left. Besides... that's your auntie, kiss."

Is it really appropriate to use a leprosy to scare an elderly lady like the Queen Mother?

She is such a silly little sister who can't even do bad things, it's really a headache.

Gong Beinu pouted, "I didn't think so, sister, why do we care about them so much, she just embroidered a lot of chickens."

Concubine Shu: "...It's a crane."

"It's almost the same," the silly sister said as she stretched out her other hand to let her rub it, "whatever they are, we are my aunt's favorite concubine anyway."

Gong Beinu had a proud look on his face, as if he regarded the matter of being "Aunt's favorite child" as a golden medal, and could not wait to hang it on his face from time to time.

Concubine Shu slapped her stubborn little head with her fingers: "My silly little sister, you are the emperor's concubine, not the aunt's concubine, you can't just please aunt's favor, your Majesty will be there at the birthday banquet. of."

Gong Beinu flat-mouthed: "Okay."

Concubine Shu thought about it and instructed Dong E, "Change to a crumpled, ragged piece of clothing, and I'll leave this to you."

Dong E nodded and left the Nonghua Hall. When she arrived at the door, Concubine Shu stopped her again: "Don't forget to find Duan Weiying's congratulations."

Her feet froze and her steps became heavy.

She thought that Lady Ying had always been difficult to speculate with common sense, and it was also difficult to speculate on crooked principles. She seemed friendly and amiable, but in fact it was not easy to get close.

Back at the Yulu Palace, Dong E waited for the opportunity and found an opportunity to replace Xiao Qianxue's Baihe clothes with old clothes before the gifts were sent.

Just when Dong E was tired and was about to make do with business, she met Green Wax mysteriously walking in with a box.

Dong E greeted him: "This is?"

Green Wax lowered her voice and whispered: "It's a gift prepared by Lady Ying for the Queen Mother."

Dong E's eyes lit up, and she suddenly became energetic: "What is it?"

Green Wax shook his head: "Your Majesty Ying did not allow me to open the box, saying that it was a spiritual object, and the spiritual energy would leak at a glance and lose its original effect. She told me to stand outside the house every night after the moon came out, lift the box, absorb it The brilliance of the moon can only last for nine consecutive days."

Dong E's eyes swirled around the box.

She followed the Queen Mother and had seen a wide range of knowledge. It was the first time she had seen such a mysterious gift. Being so mysterious, it fits the identity of that half-immortal. She thought about her idea, and after a moment, smiled kindly: "This is too hard, why don't you let me do it for you."

The green wax said worriedly: "But the master ordered..."

Dong E smiled kindly and harmlessly: "Are you still worried about me?"

Green Wax bit her lip, "Master said, you must raise your hands straight, from the rising of the moon to the setting of the moon, you can't stop, and you can't look at the things in the box, and after you lift it, you can't change people in the middle. ."

It is very hard work.

But for the master's great cause, it's okay to work hard!

Dong E insisted on persuading: "Let me do it, I'm used to doing rough work, so I won't be tired."

The little palace maid couldn't bear her various requests, so she nodded and agreed, gave the wooden box to Dong E, and instructed: "Auntie must not open it to see."

Dong E took the wooden box and held it in the air with a silly gesture, hoping that the little palace maid would leave soon.

But Green Wax did her due diligence, and even if Dong E robbed her alive, she stubbornly stood here to supervise her. If the moon does not go, she will not go, and if the moon does not sleep, she will not sleep.

Dong E's hands froze, standing in the cold autumn wind, almost frozen like a fool, and when she moved a little, the little palace maid next to her nervously shouted—

"Auntie, don't let it fall."

Dong E hurriedly straightened and held it up. Her sore and painful arm couldn't help but move again, and a familiar voice came from her side: "Auntie!"

"aunt!"

"aunt!"

"aunt!!"

...The night was spent with countless "aunts", and in a trance, Dong E felt like she was in a forest, and each tree was overgrown with a hundred pigeons, all of them shouting "Gugugugugugu" towards her. Goo", it's just a kind of mental pollution.

Until the morning, under the supervision of Green Wax, she did not have the slightest chance to see what the gift was.

As soon as the moon fell, Green Wax grabbed the box, thanked Aunt Dong with a smile, and then hopped away.

The double devastation of spirit and body made Dong E go back to her residence unwillingly, fell down on the bed, and slept from dawn to dusk.

The next day in bed, she was shaken awake by green wax.

Green Wax's eyes lit up: "Auntie get up quickly, I'll raise the box later! The moon is about to rise."

Dong E's eyes darkened, and she felt a burst of despair, "Are you still coming?"

Green Wax said solemnly: "Of course! For the sake of Master Ying and the happy birthday of the Empress Dowager, what are we holding a box for a few days! Aunt, you have been with the Empress Dowager for so long, so be conscious."

Dong E, who was inexplicably criticized, had to follow behind Green Wax and start the task of lifting the box again.

After being frozen in the cold wind for nine days, Dong E went from pain to numbness, and finally became a walking corpse, like a puppet that lost her soul.

Everyone else slept in the warm quilt, and only she, still in the cold autumn wind, raised her aching arms miserably, shaking while listening to the girl next to her "gugugugu".

Dong E thought to herself, if she could come back, she would definitely not have the curiosity that she should not have, to peep at the congratulations of noble lady Ying.

She doesn't deserve it!

But on the ninth day, Green Wax accidentally took a nap, leaning against the wall and squinting.

Seeing the rare opportunity, Dong E hurriedly put down the box and opened the wooden box tremblingly—

If she can know about the congratulatory gift from noble Ying, and successfully replace it, her nine days of hard work will not be in vain!

She picked up a stone on the ground and was going to replace the gift with a stone, so that Wei Ying would make a fool of herself on her birthday.

But when the wooden box was opened, Dong E was stunned.

The spirit of heaven and earth lying peacefully inside is... a big tortoise.

The tortoise was dozing in the box, and there was a note on the tortoise shell: "The early peek is the same thing."

In an instant, Dong E, who became the eighth kind of king, put down the stone sadly.

She felt that there was no need to change it. Who would have thought that the Queen Mother's gift was actually a turtle?

Tuoma, what are you planning for these nine nights?
