34 concubines in the deep court

Tang Ai's eyes lit up, and the situation of seeing away was infinitely close to zero. She was in a state of surprise when she was suddenly tapped on the shoulder.

This is Gonggong Cai's withdrawal from the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

When Tang Ai turned his face and wanted to take a look at the small team, the small team had already turned a corner, and he didn't know where to go.

"Lord Xiao Tang, what's wrong with you?" Gonggong Cai pinched his throat and shook his hand at Tang Ai.

Tang Ai came back to his senses at this time, and quickly pursed his lips and shook his head.

Gonggong Cai didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and took Tang Ai back to the harem.

Tang Ai didn't stop thinking about Xiao Yu in her heart, trespassing into the palace was a capital crime of killing her head, although she had doubts, she didn't dare to confide.

Along the way, Tang Ai learned from Gonggong Cai that Princess Xinning lived in the Yufu Palace in the East Sixth Palace with her biological mother, Concubine Qian, who was the lord of the Yufu Palace and lived in the main hall, while Xinning lived in the Zuiyunxuan in the palace.

The Yilan Hall in the Yufu Palace used to live in a Liu Zhaoyi, but unfortunately Liu Zhaoyi died not long ago, and now only Concubine Qian and Princess Xinning live in the Yufu Palace.

The carved beams and painted buildings, small bridges and flowing water in the Yufu Palace can be regarded as one of the best palaces in the palace, and the magnificence and elegance of the southern small building are revealed in the majestic atmosphere of the northern palace.

As soon as Tang Ai followed Gongfu Cai inside, he saw Xin Ning standing at the highest point of the rockery in the small garden, looking forward to the palace gate. Under the rockery stood a little eunuch and a little palace maid, all of them were so anxious that they couldn't do it, and all they shouted in their mouths were "Danger, princess, come down!" ”。

When Xin Ning saw Gonggong Cai, her two big eyes immediately widened, and she jumped down from the rockery and directly knocked over a little eunuch who was rushing to escort her.

She scolded the little eunuchs and little palace maids for staying away from her, took Cai Fu and Tang Ai to her own bedroom, closed the door, and glared: "Grandpa Cai, I told you the right time, why did you come now?!" ”

Cai Fumao's old waist couldn't straighten up, and he hurriedly explained that it was His Majesty who summoned him, and then asked tremblingly: "Your Highness the Seventh, isn't Concubine Niangniang in the palace?" ”

Xin Ning pouted: "The mother concubine went to the imperial garden to accompany the queen to enjoy the flowers, and she is almost back." ”

She looked Tang Ai up and down as she spoke, and chuckled: "Tang Ai, you really look good as a eunuch, it's enough to confuse the real thing." Your name is Tang Ai, that is, Xiao Aizi. Little Aiko...... Shorty. I'll call you a little smash! ”

Yes, pretending to be a eunuch has been given a name! Tang Ai smiled invincibly and embarrassed.

Cai Fu still has to go back to the emperor's side to serve, and hand over Tang Ai to Xin Ning and leave. He walked out of the palace gate of Yufu Palace, and he could still hear a handful of old bones rattling.

Gonggong Cai only left on the front foot, and Concubine Qian returned to the palace on the back foot.

It stands to reason that Xinning is fourteen or fifteen years old, and her mother's age should not be small. But this coriander is radiant, her skin is like congealed fat, she can't tell her age, she has all kinds of charms, and her beauty is not too much to say in this harem.

In fact, Concubine Coriander is indeed the sixth palace of favorite, and no concubine can be the best.

Xin Ning and Concubine Qian look three or four points similar, and her delicate appearance must be inherited from her mother.

Xin Ning took Tang Ai to greet her mother, Tang Ai forced herself to pretend to be like anything, and followed behind Xin Ning resignedly, as if she was a little eunuch who had just entered the palace, for fear that she would do something wrong and make her master angry.

Concubine Qian glanced at Tang Ai, her eyes were shining, as if she always had a touching sparkle when she looked at people.

Xin Ning hurriedly coquettishly said: "Mother, this is a little man." Didn't the two little eunuchs at Erchen's place say anything a few days ago that they saw a ghost and were so scared that they couldn't get out of bed, Erchen felt that he didn't have enough manpower there, so he told Cai Fu again that he wanted him to send someone over. This little man is the newcomer who has just been sent by the celebrant and the celebrant. ”

Concubine Qian smiled, and didn't ask any more, La Xinning sat down by the stone platform in the small garden, asked the palace maid to fetch fish food, and leisurely fed the koi in the pond under the small bridge, and withdrew the eunuchs and palace maids around her, so approachable.

Tang Ai is now a member of the eunuch world, so he naturally consciously retreats.

She stood obediently in the distance, her eyes glancing at Concubine Qian and Xinning's mother and daughter from time to time.

Then, she found that she always felt that Concubine Coriander looked familiar.

But who is it like?

Tang Ai couldn't think of it for a while.

The other little eunuchs and palace maids also stood aside and waited, and a little eunuch rubbed beside Tang Ai, Tang Ai took a look, it was the one who was hit by Xin Ning just now. He secretly rushed at Tang Ai, looking like he wanted to be familiar with Tang Ai.

This little eunuch claimed to be surnamed Hao, and was named "Little Mouse" by Princess Xinning. The little mouse is not very old, and he said that he only entered the palace not long ago, and he was serving Liu Zhaoyi before, but Liu Zhaoyi was gone, so he turned around to serve the princess.

The little mouse said something else, but when he mentioned Liu Zhaoyi, it was like eating a mouthful of pepper, and his tongue trembled and couldn't straighten it.

At the end, he grabbed the root of Tang Ai's ear and said, "Little man, I see that you are also new, so I would like to remind you that recently, something unclean has happened in the palace...... At night, don't run around on your own! ”

Tang Ai responded with a "uh-huh" on the surface, but of course he also noticed the word "Liu Zhaoyi" in his heart.

Whether it is Gonggong Cai or a little mouse, everyone only says that Liu Zhaoyi went, but no one mentioned how she went.

Tang Ai still wanted to ask the little mouse a few more words, but the female official of the Shangfu Bureau came to the Yufu Palace at this time and asked Concubine Qian to send someone to the Shangfu Bureau to get the newly made autumn clothes.

Concubine Qian casually greeted the two little eunuchs, who happened to be Tang Ai and the little mouse.

The two of them couldn't afford to be lazy, so they took the instructions and went to the Shangfu Bureau. The little mouse was familiar, and Tang Ai followed the little mouse.

The little mouse is a chatter, talking a sentence from east to west, one moment talking about the twelve eunuchs and the six monks are too far away from the palace, how inconvenient it is to do something, and then saying that there are too many rights and wrongs in the harem, so he tightens his mouth to live a longer life.

Tang Ai couldn't interject if he wanted to, so he had to let him speak.

More than 100 years ago, Emperor Tai/Zu of the Great Heaven/Dynasty ruled the world, but before that, the land of Shenzhou was actually divided into four countries: Qi, Chu, Wei and Yan. For example, today's Sijiu City of Chaojing Division was expanded on the basis of the old capital of Yan Kingdom.

The little mouse also said in the previous sentence that the Great Heaven/Chao Shang Jian, and the palace also used the old palace of Yan Kingdom, but it was repaired and strengthened in a place that had fallen into disrepair, and the next sentence suddenly turned his face and asked rashly: "Little man, who is your master?" ”

When Tang Ai was asked by him, he was immediately confused, thinking that he knew kung fu by himself.

Tang Ai's ancestors are above, that is the Tang Sect that once dominated the black and white martial arts, and later the old lady did not mix the rivers and lakes to do business, and it was even more prosperous, and the family business was passed on to her father Tang Bufu's generation, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as rich and rival the country. Although the family is no longer involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the kung fu of the clansmen has not fallen, and Tang Ai's skills are practiced with his father.

She thought about it for a while, and there was nothing she couldn't say, so she replied, "My master is my father." ”

The little mouse rounded his eyes: "Your father is also a eunuch?!" Then he became a eunuch after having you? ”

As soon as he asked this, Tang Ai was stunned and angry, and wanted to reply incomparably, "Your father is a eunuch!" ”。 Thanks to a little more turn in her brain, she pondered what the little mouse meant, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

The little mouse asked the old eunuch who taught her the rules.

"Well, I'd be wrong about you. My master is old, and he hasn't done any important errands, so you don't know if you say it. Tang Ai also began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.

This skill was by no means something that her father Tang did not teach. Speaking of which, it may be that after she got acquainted with Xiao Yu, she subtly learned a trick and a half.

As soon as he thought of Xiao Yu, the worry in Tang Ai's heart came up again, and he and the little mouse came out with their clothes from the Shangfu Bureau, and they didn't talk much on the way back.

The little mouse was in a hurry to urinate halfway, his face was purple and his eyes were protruding, he really had no trick, so he had to stuff all the clothes he was holding to Tang Ai, let Tang Ai go back to the palace first, and ran to the wall between the corridors on the left and right of the Qianqing Gate to pee.

Tang Ai was not familiar with the road, and after looking at the red wall and high tiles for a long time, he found the direction of the Yufu Palace. Autumn clothes are no better than summer clothes, there is always weight, and it is not easy for her to walk back against the eaves of the wall with a large pile of clothes.

Who knew that she had not taken two steps forward, and suddenly felt someone following her. By this time, it was getting late, and there was no one between the two high walls, and a cool wind blew, which only gave her goosebumps.

Tang Ai boasted that he was a master of art and bold, and turned his head suddenly, but he only saw the long road that was empty. She only felt that her neck was twisting, and she said that she was too nervous, so she quickened her steps and walked forward.

However, as soon as she walked together, the extremely uncomfortable feeling of being followed quietly appeared.

This time, Tang Ai could no longer continue to walk with peace of mind. She slowed her pace as she carefully sensed her surroundings. After a while, she suddenly realized that it was a very familiar feeling.

In her memory, there used to be such a person, who played with her in the middle of the night and tailgated, which was extremely boring.

This person is Xiao Yu.

Tang Ai analyzed this, and as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a beam of clear shadows appearing coldly - she guessed correctly at all, Xiao Yu used to be boring, and now she is still very boring.

But Tang Ai's focus is obviously not here.

She saw Xiao Yu's ill-intentioned face, then looked at the evil smile on his face, and thought of the girl in her heart that he said, and began to get angry for no reason.

"Xiao Yu, it's really you! Why don't you go to accompany your beautiful girl, why did you come to the palace?! ”

"Shhhh Xiao Yu lowered the volume so that only Tang Ai could hear it, turned around and flashed into the corner, and said with a smile, "I'm here to see my beautiful girl." ”

"The girl...... Is it the head of the palace? Is she on an errand in the palace? ”

"Right now."

"Hehe, you really go thousands of miles for love." Tang Ai unconsciously brought out a little sarcasm, and glanced at Xiao Yu, "You say, how did you get to the palace?" ”

"Just like you, just change your clothes and come in. I don't have a bad relationship with Xu Zhan, and it's not impossible to get involved. At noon, I actually saw you, and I'm looking for you now. Let me guess, you didn't come to the palace to investigate the haunting that has been rumored to be particularly evil lately, right? ”

"So what?"

"Good luck if you do." Xiao Yu shrugged, up and down, left and right, swept from the top of Tang Ai's head to his heels, and sighed from his mouth, "Tang Ai, your appearance as a eunuch is really amazing!" ”

Tang Ai felt that his face was poked hard, and he almost jumped to his feet: "What's wrong with me pretending to be a eunuch?" You're not dressed as a squire yet! ”

Xiao Yu nodded matter-of-factly: "Yes, I am pretending to be a guard, and you are pretending to be a eunuch." ”

Tang Ai was speechless. She was also thinking about this question, why was Xiao Yu still a real man even if she was disguised, and she was forced to pretend to be a eunuch?! It's not scientific!

Xiao Yu waved his hand and smiled thiefly: "Father-in-law Tang, don't think about it." This kind of thing mainly depends on temperament. ”
