A fleeting glance

  Get out of here, this palace only robs money

  Su Jinping leaned against a tree with a large broom, yawning. Sweeping the floor? She had no interest in it, so as long as the guard was not around, she would seize the opportunity to slack off.

  Huang Pu Ye is not bad, he got beaten up and didn't get angry, but instead smiled and called out "Little Jin Jin", saying that he wanted to be friends with her! However, thinking about it, she didn't think the situation through clearly. Hmm, it seems like the palace people would eliminate the unfortunate palace maid who was really assaulted by the prince in order to protect the royal family's reputation.

  How dare she think she's more valuable than the king? Poor thing, being a concubine-born daughter, if she were a legitimate daughter, that emperor would not have dared to bully her like this!

  She raised her head to look at the sky, a vast expanse of blue, with only the scorching sun hanging high, but it wasn't dazzling either. It was warm and comfortable. The clear sky stretched for miles without a cloud, and her mood also cleared up suddenly. Alas, she wondered how that monster guy was doing, if he hadn't been protected by her on his way, would he have been killed by someone?

  She slightly tilted her head, suddenly her pupils dilated, and she was stunned!

  Who is that?

  A white dress surpasses the snow, standing against the wind, with white sleeves fluttering, creating an ethereal beauty. Jet-black hair like silk, a white ribbon tied between the hair, quietly standing under the tree, the whole person seems to be basking in the warm sunshine, yet also seems to be hidden in the moonlight.

  Moving yet unmoving, like a secluded valley's mysterious orchid, clear and cold with an air of proud solitude, as if a celestial being had accidentally fallen to the mortal world, with a hint of lunar elegance and not a speck of worldly dust.

  Just a back figure, can't help but hold one's breath!

  A gentle breeze stirs, and the pear blossoms float gently down from the sky, beautiful and resplendent. In that moment, it's as if the wind has bewildered my eyes, or perhaps the flowers have confused my heart.

  Her phoenix eyes flickered, and she finally somewhat understood what that sentence meant. "Some people don't need to pose, yet can still achieve a shocking beauty." She had always thought it was an exaggeration or just human longing for beauty, but today she realized there really were such people! She suddenly became curious, if this person turned around, what would they look like?

  "Bang!" Thinking too much, the broom in his hand fell to the ground.

  Su Jinping's old face rarely turned red, having seen countless handsome men in her past life, and also seeing the two brothers of Huangfu Ye in this life, who were all top-notch handsome men. She didn't have any reaction when she saw them, but now just looking at the back of this man made her stare blankly, and even dropped the broom from her hand!

  How embarrassing! Too embarrassing!

  The sound made the man slightly tilt his head and look over this way.

  In an instant, her breath caught in her throat. What a face! Only half of it was visible, but that was enough to make it unforgettable for the rest of her life!

  The outline was as if carved by God, with a face like jade and skin like the beauty of Shunhua. The long eyelashes covered those eyes, but they fluttered lightly on her face like a butterfly flapping its wings, opening one after another... wait... weren't her eyes silver? Not metallic silver, but moonlight-colored, deep and quiet, like an ancient pool that seemed bottomless at first glance.

  Before Su Jinping could sigh again, the man had already turned his head and stepped forward, as if he was walking on moonlight and drifting with the wind!

  It wasn't until the man's figure disappeared from view and all that was left in her eyes were the pear blossoms flying everywhere that Su Jinping finally came back to herself.

  Emma, was she just hallucinating or did she see a fairy? Her old face turned red, okay, okay, she admitted that she was just dazzled by beauty for a moment!

  The dazed look in her phoenix eyes disappeared instantly, and she stretched lazily. No matter how handsome that man was, she wasn't some kind of demon who would forget everything just because she saw a beautiful man! Moreover, with just one glance at him, she could tell that he absolutely wasn't some immortal who had accidentally fallen to the mortal world, but rather...

  Hehe, everything can deceive people, only the darkness at the bottom of one's eyes cannot be deceived! She doesn't want to get involved in the imperial family's disputes, so she also doesn't want to provoke that man!

  She didn't know that many things were beyond her control. If it weren't for the sudden glimpse today, she might still be able to stay out of it. But coincidentally, that person fell into her eyes, and coincidentally, the sudden movement without any posture gave her a momentary touch.

  Just as she hadn't finished stretching her waist, her ears perked up and she heard a loud scolding: "Good you, Su Jinping! Lao Niang just walked away for a while, and she actually disappeared. Hmph! Lao Niang will notify the people of Shen Xing Si to properly deal with this cheap girl!"

  My grass! Can't I just climb the tree for a bit, do you need to make it sound so bad? Her cold eyes narrowed slightly, finally returning to calmness, and then turned into a hint of helplessness. Sigh, what can be done, who let her stay in the palace anyway? I'll endure!

  She fell to the ground, picked up the broom and walked out with a twisted body, opening her mouth with a tragic face: "Auntie, I think I ate something bad last night, I couldn't hold it in, so I had to go to the toilet, so I didn't wait for you..."

  The person called "Auntie" looked like she wasn't pretending, her face slightly softened: "Alright, hurry up and sweep the floor. Later when the ladies pass by this place, if they see all these fallen leaves on the ground, you're done for! You can't even be at peace sweeping the floor, do you still think you're a newcomer?"

  The corners of her mouth twitched, and it seemed that she was one of the palace maids yesterday, but today she became a sweeper! Damn Huangfu Ye!

  Suddenly, she thought of the man just now and curiously opened her mouth: "Auntie, I just saw a man over there wearing white clothes, and his eyes were actually silver. Do you know who he is?"

  After asking, I feel like biting off my own tongue! When did she become so gossipy? And the question I asked myself, why does it sound a bit like a little girl inquiring about her dream lover?

  Hong Feng glared at her and scolded, "A small palace maid like you, what are you thinking about? Just sweep the floor! That person is not someone you can ask about. Look at your lovesick face, do you still think about getting married? Let me tell you, even if a palace maid dies of old age, she can only be buried in that dry well. I advise you to dispel those crooked thoughts and just do your job honestly!"

  A woman's face was suddenly filled with exclamation marks and English-style periods, what's going on here? When did she become so sentimental? She's always been very proper, okay?! However, I accidentally heard some extremely sad news - palace maids can only grow old and die in the palace. In other words, if she obediently serves as a palace maid, three or two silver coins per month would be enough to make her life tragic. And yet, there's even money with nowhere to spend it - isn't this a scam?! No way, no way, I must get out of here!

  "Hey, isn't this the number one beauty of Dongling? How did she end up here sweeping fallen leaves?" A voice with a hint of laughter and sarcasm rang out.

  As she turned around, she saw a woman in brocade clothes, wearing a pink trailing long skirt, with a large outer cloak covering her body, and a layer of light gauze wrapped around it. The chest was embroidered with hanging silk begonias, the chest was half exposed, the waist was slender and not even a handful, the face was delicate but not coquettish, looking quite good, except for the mocking smile on her lips that seemed particularly eye-catching.

  "How dare you! You still don't kneel down when you see Her Majesty!" The palace maid behind the woman shouted loudly.
