Chapter 119 The Unlucky Maid Who Chatted with the Princess (2)

The fifth princess' daughter enjoys considerable respect in front of Emperor Shenglong due to her mother's status.

But for such a national affair, since the dog emperor has made the decision, how can she, a little princess, change his orders at will?

The Fifth Princess, a girl of destiny, naturally did not want to marry into the barren land of the Northern Desert.

Therefore, she went to her imperial concubine mother every day to cry and beg her to find a way to avoid going to Beimo for marriage.

The imperial concubine felt so distressed when she saw her precious daughter's eyes were red and swollen from crying every day that she could only go to the emperor to cry.

The emperor felt very distressed when he saw his beloved woman crying with tears in her eyes and her pretty nose red.

After holding her in his arms and making love for a while, he finally agreed to the Imperial Concubine's idea.

That is to find a palace maid to marry in place of the fifth princess, and the fifth princess will dress up as a palace maid and go out of the palace to avoid the limelight.

After she gets through this difficult time, I will find her a trustworthy husband to marry.

The original owner Xu Shuangshuang became the victim.

The original owner's family came from a small place called Yongchang County, more than 200 miles away from the capital.

Her ancestors were from a medical family. She was the eldest daughter in the family and once had a happy family.

Her father's medical skills and ethics are highly respected by local people.

However, when she was twelve years old, her family was framed by a villain and almost broke up.

The father of the county magistrate of Yongchang County was already in his eighties and almost ninety years old. He suddenly fell seriously ill and was basically incurable.

However, the doctors from several other pharmacies in the county couldn't stand the original owner's father, so they always sold the medicine cheaply to local people, ruining the market.

Thinking of taking advantage of this great opportunity to get rid of him.

They deliberately recommended the original owner's father to the county magistrate.

Moreover, in his words, he confidently praised the original owner's father as a miracle doctor who could bring the dead back to life.

He looked as if if he failed to cure the old man's illness, it meant that he didn't treat him seriously.

However, how could he save a dying person?

In the end, the county magistrate watched his old father die, so he took his anger out on the original owner's father.

He ordered the yamen runners to beat him with 50 boards and sent people to seize his family's property as compensation.

The whole family even took off their jewelry and was kicked out of the house naked.

How could the original owner's family not know that this was just the county magistrate taking advantage of the situation just to seize their family property?

However, since ancient times, the people have not fought against the officials, although the Xu family also has one or two good friends in the local area.

However, these friends are all from the same class as their family.

Even if they wanted to help, they didn't dare to move as the county magistrate was watching them closely.

Finally, the family ended up in a ruined temple. Looking at his father whose lower body was beaten to a bloody mess, the original owner could only hold back his tears and go up the mountain to look for medicine?

After much difficulty, they managed to save their father's life, but the yamen runners came to the dilapidated temple and drove them away quickly.

At this time they were penniless and had no money even to rent a carriage.

In Mr. Xu’s condition, how could he move around freely?

The original owner looked at his parents, and finally gritted his teeth and went into a pawnshop to sell himself.

When the matchmaker saw that it was the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she sighed and gave her ten taels of silver.

Then, while no one was paying attention, he slipped a 50-liang silver note into her hand.

There wasn't much she could do. The county magistrate clearly wanted to kill the Xu family, and he sent his minions to keep an eye on everyone in the county every day.

He also spread the word that anyone who dared to help the Xu family would be his enemy.

Therefore, this was the best she could do.

The original owner gave the silver to her mother and asked them to rent a carriage to return home as soon as possible.

With the 50 taels given by the matchmaker, I think they should be able to settle down first?

After returning to the matchmaking agency, the matchmaker rented three horse-drawn carriages two days later and transported the girls to the capital.

It turned out to be the palace's annual selection of palace maids and eunuchs.

Eunuchs generally don't go there, and even if they do, most of them are deceived by those unscrupulous pawnbrokers or abducted directly.

But when it comes to palace maids, people don’t have so much resistance.

After all, the Daqing Dynasty had a clear regulation that palace maids could leave the palace at the age of 25.

The original owner naturally did not resist, and even thought to himself that it would be great if he could crawl to the side of the nobles and ask them to help redress his father's grievances.

It's a pity that her idea is impossible to come true.

The people in the palace have harder hearts than anyone else!

Even if they treat you as brother or sister on the surface.

But they can turn around and betray you immediately, and step on your corpse to get to the top.

The original owner had been in the palace for two years, but because she had no connections, she had never even met a real master.

It was these eunuchs and maids who ordered them to do this and that.

What infuriated her the most was that the old eunuch who managed them had a disgusting crush on her.

She was so angry that she secretly announced to the public the fact that the old eunuch was having an affair with someone else, and the old eunuch was ordered to be beaten to death.

She was safe for the time being, but only for the time being.

Therefore, she used all her savings from the past few years in the palace to bribe the chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department, so that the next time someone came to select someone, she would stand out.

In the end, she was sent to the princess born to the imperial concubine and became a third-class palace maid.

Although third-class palace maids also have to do work on a regular basis, and are even assigned such work by senior and second-class palace maids, it is still much better than being a maid doing menial work, right?

The most obvious benefit is the increase in monthly salary, and if there is any big happy event in the palace, at least they will have a share of the reward.

Although she would still be treated harshly by the senior palace maids and eunuchs above her, they would not be treated harshly by everyone.

The original owner had always been careful to avoid calculations from all sides, and had never tried to steal the limelight.

I just want to live there until I’m 25, and then leave the palace to find my parents.

But I didn't expect that it was precisely because of his honest and hardworking appearance.

Cuizhu, the fifth princess's aunt, saw it and kept it in mind.

Originally, he was only attracted by her beauty and wanted to bring her out to be a maid for the Fifth Princess.

I thought it would be easier to control her if she became a concubine to her husband.

But now that things have changed, her appearance can be put to use.

The original owner didn't know before that she had already been noticed by the imperial concubine.

When the imperial concubine asked them who was willing to be loyal to the princess, they all trembled with fear and kept their heads down in silence.

At that time, the imperial concubine said very virtuously.

"If you don't want to, then forget it."

As a result, when the original owner returned to his room, he was hit by a club from behind.

When she woke up again, she heard people talking in low voices.

"Hurry up, change her clothes quickly, the officials from the Ministry of Rites will be here soon to pick her up."

“Don’t worry, he won’t wake up unless the medicine leaves the capital.

When we are on the road, we will feed her frequently, but it will be useless if she wakes up after we leave the border.

But when you help her out later, be careful not to let anyone see what's going on."
