Today's food and clothing problem was solved. Jiang Ziyi returned to the room and checked the existing things. She found that she could really be described as poor. All the food she had was gone, and the few sets of clothes she had were all tattered and patched.
"I'm afraid the palace maids are more respectable than a princess like me..." Jiang Ziyi thought with some self-mockery.
It is not difficult to understand why she is in such a situation now. The current queen was born into a family of military generals, and her father and brother are both generals.
She is also a young lady from a general's family. She has always been arrogant and jealous. Except for the son and daughter she gave birth to for the emperor, other concubines had no chance to give birth to children. So her mother secretly became pregnant and gave birth to her after being favored by the emperor. When the queen found out, her situation was not good.
Moreover, the emperor did not want to acknowledge her as his daughter. He had never visited her since she was born. Even her name was given by her mother herself. But after all, she had half the emperor's blood in her body, and she could not be killed directly after being born. Therefore, the queen, as the person in charge of the harem, arranged the mother and daughter in a remote palace, making them live a life worse than that of the palace maids.
There were even palace maids who would often come and make things difficult for her mother. After all, she had offended the empress and was not favored by the emperor, so anyone could dare to step on her.
However, although their lives were poor in the deep palace, Jiang Ziyi's mother still did her best to take good care of her and taught her to be very kind.
Since the palace maids brought little food, she saved some and left it all for her daughter.
Jiang Ziyi grew up healthy, but her mother was not so lucky. Due to long-term fatigue and lack of nutrition, her body was weak. In the winter when Ziyi was ten years old, she caught a cold and passed away forever.
Before he died, he said to Ziyi, "Take good care of yourself. As long as you live, there will be hope."
However, in this deep palace, kind people are just like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. It is not the case that if I don't offend others, others will not offend me.
Without skills, even living a stable life would be a luxury, just like her previous life...
It’s just the beginning, she has to live long enough to marry into the enemy nation.
The next day, Xiao Jingyun arrived as promised and brought her a lot of food.
There were pastries, fruits, and even a roast chicken. It was a very rich meal.
"Thank you, Brother Jingyun!"
This thank you is a sincere thank you.
God knows that she, a modern person, was reborn into the body of a young girl who is still growing up, and even having to rely on fate to eat is a matter of fate.
If there wasn't a scumbag in front of her that she could use, she would probably have starved to death in this side hall before she could even marry the emperor of the enemy country.
Xiao Jingyun was also very touched to hear her gratitude to him.
These foods were nothing to the son of the prime minister, but such a small contribution was rewarded with gratitude, which was something he had never experienced from Princess Mingyue.
Jiang Ziyi classified the food. The pastries and fruits could be kept for a few more days. There was no refrigerator in this world, so the roast chicken had to be eaten now.
"Brother Jingyun, this is for you!" After washing her hands, she smiled and tore off the chicken leg and handed it to Xiao Jingyun.
Looking at the big chicken leg handed to him by the girl, he reached out and took it as if possessed. He didn't like eating chicken, but he didn't want to refuse her. She was obviously short of food, but she was still willing to give him a chicken leg.
He took a bite of the chicken leg and found it quite delicious. In his heart, it was no longer a chicken leg, but Jiang Ziyi's grateful heart!
Jiang Ziyi tore off another chicken leg and started chewing it, but she had no idea that her casual polite gesture would cause so many little dramas in Xiao Jingyun's heart.
If I only care about eating for myself, he will think that I am only greedy for him to bring me food. What should I do if he stops bringing me food in the future?
You should be polite when you should be polite. This is Jiang Ziyi's emotional intelligence as a time traveler from the 22nd century!
After eating and drinking, Jiang Ziyi cleaned the yard for a while. Xiao Jingyun didn't say he wanted to leave, so he just sat on a stone bench in the yard and looked at the scenery. He didn't know what to see. Jiang Ziyi guessed that this guy was probably in the first stage of his curiosity. People are always curious about new things they encounter, but once they get close to them and find that they are just so-so, they will quickly lose interest. And what she had to do was to be sweet-mouthed but cruel.
The corners of her lips curved slightly, and she had an idea in her mind.
"Brother Jingyun, do you know Ziyi's father? Mother said he is the most powerful man in this country."
Faced with this question, Xiao Jingyun didn't know how to answer her for a moment.
He already knew that she was the current emperor's child, but she had no name or status. It even seemed that after she was born, His Majesty had never even looked at her...
"Mother said that as long as Ziyi stayed here obediently, one day Daddy would come to see me, so Ziyi never left."
"Hey, when will Dad come back to see me..."
Xiao Jingyun looked at her and wanted to tell her the truth, but when he heard the girl's expectation for family affection, he hesitated.
Even if I tell her the truth, there's no telling when His Majesty will arrive, or perhaps he'll never come. Rather than giving her hope, it's better to let her continue living a white lie.
So the words on the tip of my tongue became, "The world outside is too dangerous. Your father didn't come to see you because he wanted to protect you."
Jiang Ziyi rolled her eyes in her heart.
Did he think that she wouldn't know if he didn't tell her? She knew very well how good the world outside was. There was another princess living a life of luxury and delicacy!
But she was trapped in this small courtyard and couldn't move a step. She even needed some luck to survive.
