In 1675 AD, during the first month of the fourteenth year of Kangxi's reign, the north wind blew and the sky was covered with snow.

It's still cold, but one breath turns you into ice.

In the Forbidden City, except for a few people who were on duty, most of those who were not on duty were huddled in their houses warming themselves over charcoal fires.

All in Maodongli.

Umayuan woke up from the darkness and opened her eyes suddenly. She felt uncomfortable with headache and dizziness.

She took it easy for a while, adjusted her breathing, looked at the wooden beams on the roof, rolled her eyes, and then tried to support herself.

Someone came over, handed her a glass of water, and said angrily: "You're lucky, you don't have to look at those things today. That woman's legs are bleeding."

Umaru's mind was a little hard to turn around. With a dull face, she lowered her head and drank the glass of warm water. Her throat was so dry that it was smoking, and it was difficult to even speak.

She slowly scanned the room. Everything was antique, simple yet exquisite.

Judging from Umaru's little experience, she knew that this cup could barely be regarded as a collection and was worth a lot of money.

She had noticed something was wrong, but she refused to show any signs of it.

She propped herself up and tried to get up to pour the water herself, but her whole body was weak, and just this movement made her gasp for breath.

Seeing this, the girl with a hard mouth and a soft heart took the water cup from her hand and went to pour water. The water was simmered on the charcoal fire so that it would not get cold. The water poured out was still steaming.

She couldn't help but mutter: "Don't move too much if you're not feeling well."

She put the tea cup into Umaru's hand and said, "Please warm your hands, don't let them freeze anymore."

Umaru continued obediently, and the warmth spread from the palm of his hand along the teacup.

The woman put a pillow behind her waist, and then she sat down and massaged herself with satisfaction.

Umaru watched all this quietly and asked, "What's going on?"

When they first walked in, the two of them heard her asking questions, with a bit of joy on their faces.

One sat down and reached out to touch her forehead, while the other sat aside and talked to her.

The girl who touched her forehead sighed: "Fortunately, your fever is gone."

Then he continued: "You don't know how scary you are. You woke people up in the middle of the night by talking nonsense, and then I realized you had a high fever."

She pursed her lips to the person who was pouring water and said, "She went to the steward aunt and asked the imperial doctor to see you. Fortunately, her son's fever has gone away now. When the illness is cured, you have to thank her properly."

The pourer spat softly and put the tea cup into Umaru's hand: "Don't listen to the nonsense of the two sisters."

The two sisters smiled and said: "Well, you little girl, I speak for you, but you don't appreciate it."

The two of them were talking to each other, neither one giving in to the other, but their voices were quite low.

The girl who was talking to her said with a smile: "Don't worry about her, she is always like this."

The girl smiled and said: "We just entered the palace yesterday and saw you ignoring us. We thought you were angry and difficult to get along with. We didn't know you were uncomfortable."

The girl said: "Just like Sister Shuang said, if it weren't for Niu Niu, I don't know what you would have been like after being burned."

Niu Niu hummed when she heard this: "There's no need to thank me. Fortunately, we are under the banner of Shangsanqi and a respectable family. That's why we asked my aunt to be accommodating and asked the doctor to treat our illness."

She hated the fact that the iron was not strong enough and said: "We are not ordinary palace maids with no name or status. We don't need to hold on and force ourselves to be good or bad. What can we do?"

The girls sitting next to her and talking introduced her one by one: "I am Dai Jia Yueyue, the one whose son looks like he is trying to eat people is Wan Liuha Niuniu, and the other one is Sister Wei Shuang. There are only four of us here. I just hope that we can get along well."

, just be nice and calm."

Now it was Umalu's turn to introduce herself, but Umalu really didn't know what the situation was, so she could only remain silent.

Dai Jia Yueyue seemed to notice it and said with a smile: "Okay, we have also seen that you have a boring temper. You don't need to know what to do."

She said in detail: "Yesterday when Niuniu helped you to beg your aunt, she found out from her aunt that you are a girl from the Wuya family, named Malu."

She sighed, with a bit of envy in her tone: "Our names are just for fun, unlike you, who have a serious name."

Dai Jia Yueyue put her mind back together and said: "You are sick, and the steward aunt asked us to tell you that she has saved you these few days of assessment. When you get better, everything will be the same as before. You and I have just entered the palace.

It’s better to pay more attention to the rules.”

Umaru nodded obediently: "Okay."

She suddenly asked: "Can I go out and have a look?"

Wan Liuhan Niuniu sneered and said: "It sounds like you are the master of this palace. If you recover from your illness today, you will not be able to ask such a question if you go to see the palace maid who was punished."

Wan Liuha Niuniu has mentioned it twice, but what is this?

Umaru didn't know, she looked at Dai Jia Yueyue.

Dai Jia Yueyue sighed: "Just now, the steward's aunt asked us to watch the punishment. The tortured palace maid's legs were bleeding. I heard that she will be driven to Xinzheku to work."

She said: "In this palace, it's better to be honest and responsible."

Umaru opened his mouth, wanting to ask something, but in the end he didn't ask.

Dai Jia Yueyue sighed: "We have just entered the palace, and it's hard to talk about things in the palace, so that's it. We'd better keep to ourselves."

She seemed to want to say a few more words.

Umaru subconsciously wanted to turn the bracelet on his left hand, but it turned in vain.

Now she couldn't listen anymore. She looked at them and interrupted Dai Jia Yueyue: "I have a bracelet that I wear on my hand all the time. Have you seen it?"

The three of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

She was anxious, but she still kept calm. She described it and said: "It was left to me by my ancestors. It is inlaid with colorful gems. I probably accidentally left it somewhere. If you see it, tell me

Just give me a shout."

"That's very important to me," she said.

The other three agreed.

Wan Liuha Niuniu saw that she looked a little listless and asked her to continue to rest.

She lay on the bed obediently, and after sweating all over, she woke up a little.

Sometimes she was thinking about the bracelet, and sometimes she was thinking about the name Dai Jia Yueyue told her.

Uyamalu.

It only has one more elegant character than her name "Umalu".

Only her name was given by the lama who came to deliver the bracelet when he gave it to her.

Grandma said that when the lama saw her, he clasped his hands and asked her parents to name her Malu.

When parents ask why.

The lama only said: "Everything is destiny and cannot be changed without human power."

Afterwards, the lama warned her again and again that the bracelet he sent could not be taken away from her body, and her name could not be changed.

Naturally, my parents didn't believe this nonsense.
