105. The princess is off
"Eunuch?" Tao Zhimo was taken aback.
"That eunuch is the previous Praetorian Guard, the one who went into the water to save the Seventh Princess when she fell into the water. And when he rescued this eunuch, he was □□ and subjected to inhuman abuse. ”
"What's going on?" Tao Zhimo was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
"This matter can be big or small, Concubine Rong almost fell into the capital crime of □□ harem, and later the eunuch admitted that he was □□ with the princess."
□□ with the princess! At this moment, Tao Zhimo was so shocked that he couldn't speak. With the arrogant temperament of the Seventh Princess, how could it be...... Noodle head? Or a eunuch?
Butterfly continued: "This incident shocked the Empress Dowager, and later the Empress Dowager sent a female doctor to examine the Seventh Princess and found that she was ......" Butterfly did not say any further.
Tao Zhimo was a little stunned all of a sudden, and after digesting the matter carefully, she felt a little sympathetic to the Seventh Princess. What is the truth of the facts, I am afraid that I don't know, and with the character of the seventh princess, how is it possible? Or is the Seven Princesses really so heavy? Tao Zhimo thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"Butterfly, what happened to the Seven Princesses? I can't bear you like this for a while. ”
"In the end, the eunuch was secretly executed, Concubine Rong was demoted to guard the imperial tomb with the first empress and the crown prince, and as for the seventh princess, she was sent to Jinghua Nunnery with her head twisted."
Tao Zhimo listened, and didn't know what mood he was for a while. How could a dignified princess end up like this? Hearing that she had lost her status in the palace before, she also applauded, who knew that there would be such a big turning point in the back, and this end was so bleak that she couldn't bear it, but she was afraid that she could only be with the green lantern ancient Buddha for a long time in this life.
Tao Zhimo was sad, the concubine was like this, the princess was like this. In fact, not only are they in the royal family, but even the nobles and high-ranking officials are no exception, the Nangong family is full of beheadings, that is, the Mo family was exiled to the border in the previous life, and the world is impermanent!
Tao Zhimo sighed for a while, and his mood was extremely low. When the butterfly saw her face, she could guess her mood at this moment. In fact, it was originally just to design the Seventh Princess and Concubine Rong to completely lose power in the palace. Those things were originally dirty secrets in the palace, and they just poked all these secrets on the table, but who knew that such a eunuch was found in the Jade Palace later.
She doesn't think there's anything wrong with suing Tao Zhimo, the world is inherently cruel, and she can't always live in the beautiful world that her master has made up for her.
Butterfly was slightly stunned, and felt that she was a little jealous of her. Yes, she was so carefree, so different from those of them who lived in hell. However, that day, she protected herself in the hall like that, sparing no expense of her life.
- ...... You probably don't hate me, do you?
That's what she asked her and Twilight Rainbow that day. How could she hate her? What right does she have to hate her? What does she hate about her? If you hate her, will you get what she has?
Suddenly, it seemed like something had flashed through her mind.
"Miss," Butterfly leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Have you ever thought about what Purple Lantern hates about you?" ”
Tao Zhimo didn't know, why did the butterfly suddenly mention this.
The butterfly whispered slowly in her ear: "She hates you, because she is jealous, so she hates you." ”
"Jealousy?" Tao Zhimo didn't understand.
"Jealous of the one you have." At this end of the butterfly's words, she straightened up and stood respectfully beside her, for she had heard the sound of the purple lamp entering the courtyard. She has always heard people, as long as she hears it once, she can remember, the steps of the purple lamp are slightly fast, and a little frivolous, very easy to recognize.
Tao Zhimo wanted to ask something, but saw the butterfly gently press her hand on her shoulder, she stopped, and in the blink of an eye, the purple lamp walked in.
Seeing that the butterfly was rubbing Tao Zhimo's shoulder, Zi Deng hurriedly smiled: "Sister Butterfly, let's come to Zi Deng." ”
"Okay." Butterfly let go of her hand and smiled at her, "The day after tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, I'll go and take care of it first." ”
"Hey, okay." Purple Lantern responded happily.
After the butterfly came out of the yard, Zi Lantern helped Tao Zhimo press her shoulder for a while, and then couldn't help but say, "Miss, don't you think Sister Butterfly seems to be very simple?" ”
"Isn't it easy?" Tao Zhimo asked her rhetorically.
"Oh," Zi Deng smiled, "I just don't think she looks like a maid, like an official lady." She had to admit that the temperament of the butterfly was indeed a little dusty, just like the white plum blooming in the ice and snow, there was a chill. However, this makes her jealous, everyone is a big girl, isn't it?
"Yes, I heard that Butterfly was indeed an official lady before. It was only later that something happened at home, and she was sold into slavery. ”
"Oh." Zi Deng suddenly realized, "No wonder, I think Sister Butterfly has a very good temperament, unlike us." "Really? Even if she is an official lady, it can only be the past. It's not the same as her now, it's just a girl.
Tao Zhimo smiled silently.
After a while, Chun Tao came in and said, "Miss, the eldest girl next to Aunt Ye is here, saying that Aunt Xia accidentally fell from the pavilion when she was in the garden just now, sprained her foot, and seemed to be quite seriously injured, and I want to invite Miss Luo to take a look." ”
When Tao Zhimo heard this, he hurriedly said, "Then you can let Yaosi take a look." ”
"Okay." Chun Tao blessed himself and retreated.
"How can this be, and you can still fall off the pavilion with a good dignity?" Tao Zhimo was puzzled, "I don't know how Aunt Xia fell." ”
Hearing this, Zi Deng said softly: "It rained last night, I think the ground is a little slippery." ”
"Well, let's go see her later." Tao Zhimo was a little worried, but because her identity was not up or down now, she didn't dare to get too close to Aunt Xia. Although Aunt Xia is protected by Tao Lingyun, the housemother in the house is Mrs. Tao after all, if she doesn't like Aunt Xia, it will be easy to make a few stumbling blocks for her.
After more than half an hour, Luo Yaosi came back.
"How?" Tao Zhimo asked with concern, "Are you seriously injured?" ”
Luo Yaosi nodded, "I'm very seriously injured, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk this month." ”
"Where's the injury?"
"Ankle, it's much worse than the last time you were injured, it's only three or five steps, and you can still fall like that." Luo Yaosi touched her head as she spoke, "Moreover, she always mentions your eldest brother to you, I guess she wants to draw a red thread for me and your eldest brother." ”
Tao Zhimo covered her mouth and smiled, "I can see it too." "Aunt Xia seems to like Luo Yaosi very much.
"Your eldest brother is like a stuffy gourd." Luo Yaosi didn't feel anything about him, "Moreover, your eldest brother's concubine is pregnant, I think she has been in body for at least three months, and it is estimated that news will come out in the next two days." ”
"Oh?" Tao Zhimo knew that ordinary women would not dare to say it before three months of pregnancy, for fear of disturbing the fetal god, "Okay, then wait for this good news to come out, I will go to see Aunt Xia, and congratulate her by the way." ”。
"By the way, Mrs. Tao also came when I just passed, and she asked me to remember to prepare a medicine box when I went to Huguo Temple to incense the day after tomorrow, saying that there was a guest in the temple who had pain in his waist and abdomen recently, and asked me to help him take a look."
Tao Zhimo's mouth curled and smiled, "She will borrow flowers to offer Buddha." ”
The day after tomorrow is the midyear festival, which is also the Buddhist Obon festival. On this day, the entire Xiangfu will go to the Huguo Temple to offer incense, ask for the ancestors, and pray for the survivors, and the Huguo Temple will also hold a grand puja on this day to make offerings to the Three Jewels.
In her previous life, she had been locked up in the house for four years, so naturally she had never been there. In this life, Mrs. Tao asked her mother-in-law to inform her half a month ago, so that she could prepare in advance.
The butterflies did make a lot of preparations, after all, it was so lively that day, maybe something would happen?
"I really envy Aunt Xia, I don't have to join in the excitement if I hurt my foot." Tao Zhimo sighed.
"Aunt Xia still envy you, Mrs. Tao asked her to stay in the house to rest, she also said that it was no big deal, just go in a wheelchair, and later under the repeated persuasion of Mrs. Tao, she decided to meditate and worship Buddha in the small Buddha hall."
Tao Zhimo smiled helplessly, this is the case when she is an aunt, everything is up to the eldest lady. In this life, she will never be small or big, only the only one.
That night, as she was about to fall asleep, the butterfly stepped in and whispered a few words in her ear.
Tao Zhimo frowned, "Really not going?" ”
"Miss, you can't go." It was a deliberate decision she made. Mrs. Tao was silent, and even the details she had sent before were on guard. She just received the news that if she really went to Huguo Temple on the 15th, she was afraid that there would be a net waiting for "fireworks".
The old sheep who was sent by the previous master to protect the "fireworks" had been suddenly transferred back two months ago, and now only a few of them with humble status, it may be difficult to protect her when they go to the crowded place of Huguo Temple, and they can't take this risk.
"That'...... What excuses do you have to make? Tao Zhimo didn't really want to go.
"The morning after tomorrow, I fell into the water when I was about to go out." Butterfly said, only in this way can they be caught off guard, and now that the weather is hot, there is no problem for the body of "Fireworks" to fall into the water.
July 15, Midyear Day.
This morning, Tao Zhimo gathered in the front hall after getting dressed, but he never thought that he was startled by a group of earth dragons that suddenly appeared when he passed through the garden, and accidentally fell into the lotus pond. After being fished up, her face was shocked, and Mrs. Tao could only let her recuperate at home.
Because Tao Zhimo didn't go, Pity Tong also shouted that he didn't want to go up the mountain, so he stayed. Luo Yaosi also wanted to stay, but Mrs. Tao reminded her that she had to go up the mountain to help the acquaintance see a doctor, Luo Yaosi saw that Tao Zhimo was fine, so he asked Twilight to boil her a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup, and then took Cai Wei to follow Mrs. Tao and them away.
