…
Chu Yan didn't have this name back then.
She was just a little palace maid, doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work. Maybe one day she would die of illness in the palace and be thrown out and buried without medical treatment, so her name... no one would even care about it.
Even the aunt who was in charge of them never called them by their names, but instead ordered them to do the work at random.
It seems that these people are too lowly, and calling their names will make people feel that they have lost their value.
Yes, unlike other palace maids, these people were sold into the palace.
Even after death, he was still a slave in the palace.
Such hopeless days repeated day after day, year after year, and finally, she saw the light.
Fengming had not fought a war for a long time, and the news that came at the beginning was disappointing. There was no victory and the city was frequently lost.
Later, a man appeared.
He turned the situation around and recaptured the lost cities.
It was also because of him that His Majesty was too happy when he recaptured the last city. Later, due to an opportunity, even these special palace maids were given the right to leave the palace when they reached the age of retirement.
In her eyes, the palace is no longer a prison.
His name became known to more and more people, until the night he was about to return to the capital, she also knew his name.
"Qi Xiu."
"His original name was Qi Xiu."
"If only I could see him once."
She told the story to the people around her excitedly, but the palace maids like her were not interested at all and instead mocked her coldly.
"How could a lowly servant like you possibly be able to see him?"
"He's just a man, what abilities could he have? I think there might be something fishy going on in his victory."
But……
If it weren't for him, they might not have gotten the chance to leave the palace?
She didn't understand why they were so malicious towards men, and would slander them mercilessly even if they had done them a favor.
Even so, she felt that she had little hope of meeting him.
But she still encountered it when she was in a miserable state.
It was raining that day and she was bullied, and all the things she was holding fell to the ground.
Not only that, she fell into the mud, her face was covered with mud, and she looked very embarrassed.
There was still laughter behind her, but she didn't want to argue with them. Her first reaction was that it was a good thing those things were just stained with rain, otherwise she would be punished again.
She bent down to pick up those things, and suddenly found that the laughter behind her had disappeared and the rain had stopped?
She looked up and saw him.
This was the most handsome man she had ever seen.
She had never read a book and could not describe it in words.
But she thought, even gods could do no better than this.
She saw him scolding those people for her, and he picked up those things for her and gave them to her.
He smiled and asked her:
"May I have your name?"
This was the first time someone asked her name. She was stunned for a long time before she uttered a few words.
"This slave girl said one word at a time."
Her name is Yan, Yan as in promise.
He smiled, revealing his white teeth: "Yan, very nice."
"Your face is all dirty. If you don't mind, you can use my handkerchief."
He handed the handkerchief to her palm and carefully told her not to let others bully her like this in the future.
The person next to him gently reminded him.
"General, His Majesty must be getting anxious."
He seemed to frown slightly, but finally relaxed his brow and agreed.
But before leaving, he stuffed the umbrella into her hands.
General...?
She stared at the back in a daze, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she shouted at his back.
"General Qi!"
He stopped and turned to look at her.
She thought,
It was indeed him.
She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe, but she still tried to pretend to be calm: "General Qi, this handkerchief...I will wash it and return it to you."
And...this umbrella.
She thought that people like them would probably dislike things used by people like her.
But she saw him nod slightly, and the smile on his lips was as warm as the sun: "Okay, see you next time."
See you next time.
She was lost in thought as she stared at the red plum blossom embroidered on the handkerchief.
From that moment on, she made a secret decision.
She must see him again.
But she didn't expect that day to come so soon.
That day, she heard rustling sounds in the corner.
Finally I saw him on the wall.
How...why is he here?
He gestured to silence her, then slipped in past the guards.
"General Qi, why are you here?"
He coughed lightly and said, "I came to see someone, but I got lost on the way back."
She felt a little incredible:
"It would be easy to be caught as an assassin this way."
However, he was very confident in his martial arts:
"No, they won't find me."
She suddenly became curious:
"I remember... General Qi is not from the capital?"
"But I have never seen the scenery outside the palace, and I don't know what it is like outside the capital."
There was endless envy in her tone.
At this moment, he suddenly asked her: "Do you want to go and have a look?"
Her eyes widened, not understanding what he meant.
He really took her out of the palace.
She saw the bustling scenes outside the palace, the prosperous scenes that she had never seen before.
