Not long after Tuoba Tao first came to the East Palace, the entire East Palace knew that Tuoba Tao was coming.

The emperor was sometimes smart as if he was a hanger, and sometimes he was stupid and terrible.

In addition to those middle-aged people who were tortured by the palace to become eunuchs, how many men can be as tall and big as him, exuding the hormonal atmosphere that only adult men have, and how many men like him wear eunuch clothes and walk with their heads up, eager to tell others "I am familiar with this place, I have lived for many years"?

Even the sluggish He Mulan had already discovered that the situation was not quite right, but this majesty didn't know anything, and was still browsing these dilapidated buildings with great interest.

"You, yes, it's your ......" A good-looking girl pointed at Tuoba Tao, who was pointing at her nose, and said with a smile: "Where did you come from the Yellow Gate?" Why are there no rules at all! Come on, come on, carry these things back to my room! ”

She pointed to a few bookcases at her feet, obviously taking advantage of today's good weather to come over to dry books.

Before the girl's words fell, another Xianbei woman beside her suddenly snorted, rubbed her head and said: "Today's sun is too big, the sun makes me a little dizzy, this regular waiter, please carry me to the room......"

He Mulan was dumbfounded as he looked at the nobles who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and seemed to be about to rise more and more, and pulled Tuobatao's sleeves.

"Du Shou, let's go."

"How can I leave now, isn't it just right that they want me to go to the place where I live? I'm worried that I don't have an excuse to go to the women's place to see the sick......" Tuoba Tao tilted his head sideways and whispered to Hemulan beside him, "It's just to move something......"

As he spoke, Tuoba Tao rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong biceps, and stepped forward to lift two boxes for the girl, while not forgetting to warn the other Xianbei girl.

"Although you are only an alternative now, since you are in the palace, it is best not to let a man carry you, even if it is a eunuch. If you see it to the female officer in charge, you will be punished. ”

The girls were bewildered by Tuobatao's handsome appearance and mighty figure, and saw his strong muscles again, and the deer in their hearts collided one by one, and then heard Tuobatao warn the girl like this, and suddenly puffed and snorted.

The girl who originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be intimate suddenly became a big black face, stomped her foot and turned around and left.

As for whether she was afraid that Tuoba Tao would think she was indecent, or if she was really annoyed that she was too "aggressive", it is unknown.

Tuoba Tao was bent on going to the courtyard where the concubines and girls lived, and He Mulan could only follow no matter how unwilling he was. Fortunately, she is a woman and not a man, even if the ministers outside participate in her, she doesn't have to worry about ruining the reputation of a future concubine, and she doesn't have to worry about Tuoba Tao getting angry when she thinks about it in the future, anyway, she is just a woman, and at most she will be called "nonsense".

Tuoba Tao's strength can't be compared with Hemulan, but compared to ordinary people, he is already a divine power. These two bookcases look small, but the weight is not clear, and now he has one in one hand, and it is quite easy to carry, and the show girls who follow next to him do not turn their eyes.

Another Xianbei woman was bold, pretending not to know anything, and came to Tuobatao's side, stretched out her hand and touched his upper arm, and said coquettishly: "Your strength is really great, have you usually practiced bow horses?" ”

After speaking, he swept his bulging chest muscles with his eyes, and seemed to be very satisfied.

"By His Majesty's side, even eunuchs have to practice the ability to fight with bows and horses." He Mulan was worried that Tuoba Tao would leak his mouth, so he opened his mouth to explain, "He's just born to be more burly. ”

The girl glared at her with some complaint, as if she didn't want her to explain for Tuobatao, but Tuoba Tao wanted to go to the courtyard where they lived quickly, and her steps were extremely fast, and the girls behind her became more and more difficult.

"Hey, you two slow down! You're tall, and we're going to have to run after you!" There are people who do this! ”

The woman who asked to move the book didn't know if she was deliberately making things difficult for Tuoba Tao, but she began to call him again: "You go slowly, I still have to see more scenery!" ”

Hearing this, Tuoba Tao sneered and glanced around, "What scenery is there to see here?" The best thing to see is the little garden where you just dried your book. I'm tired of carrying this, so let me deliver the bookcase to the place first! ”

Hearing him talk to the ladies to be chosen, He Mullan couldn't help but cover his face quietly. The low status of the eunuchs in the court of the Hu people is terrifying, and the girls who can enter the palace this time are all noble and noble chieftains, not to mention currying favor with the eunuchs, even if they really beat and scold, no one will punish them.

She could already see Tuoba Tao being scolded by these girls for "disobeying orders".

Unexpectedly, a few girls not only did not scold Tuoba Tao for being presumptuous, but looked at the owner of the bookcase with blaming eyes, as if complaining that she had nothing to do, or that she was tired of Tuoba Tao.

Although He Mulan has a straight temperament, he is also a woman, his eyes roll, and then look at Tuoba Tao's strong muscles and faint Adam's apple, what else do you not understand?!

'This majesty is the identity of the exposed himself and he doesn't know it! ’

The corners of Hermulan's mouth lifted in amusement.

That's it, he is really tired in the palace every day, so he should relax with him. ’

Unexpectedly, before the smile on the corner of her mouth rose for a moment, the hostess of the bookcase immediately made her smile freeze.

"You came together, why did you let him work, you watched from the side? You should have a chest, too! Wrong! You should have taken both boxes! ”

The latter suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Mullin, his eyes full of condemnation.

Tuoba Tao was answering inexplicable questions from several girls around him, such as "What do you like to eat and grow so tall", "What color do you like", and when he heard the hostess of the bookcase say this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

He Mulan was still snickering in his heart, but when he heard her accusation, he immediately touched his nose.

Obviously, she first asked Tuoba Tao to get his attention for the box, but he really felt that he was lazy again. And the women in the palace are so good at behaving before they enter the palace, no wonder Tuoba Tao of the rectum feels that the harem is terrible all day long.

Most of the women who can enter the palace are at home hoping to add strength to the family, and He Mulan is sure that this small circle of people who dry books in the garden does not belong to those famous ladies in Pingcheng, because most of the celebrities in Pingcheng have seen her in the blind date in the plum garden, although there are many marriages during this time, it is impossible that there is no one in the East Palace.

The explanation that can be given is that these girls either know her identity and deliberately pretend to be stupid, or they are the daughters of important people from other places and sent to Beijing to run for election.

However, it is not good for the emperor to carry things, and she is empty-handed, after thinking about it, He Mulan said to Tuoba Tao: "Du Shou, it is really hard for you to hold two, why don't you give it to me." ”

Now that these women know the identity of Tuoba Tao, it is not interesting to work so hard.

Tuoba Tao was originally unwilling, but seeing that the women around him were all looking at He Mulan with empty hands, and they were afraid of causing trouble for him, they simply nodded.

"Well, you have a lot of strength anyway."

He simply handed the two boxes to He Mulan, and He Mulan took them as if he had taken two flowers, which attracted several women to take a few more looks.

Tuoba Tao is also a wonderful person, as if he forgot that the little eunuch next to him is also a woman, no different from the women in front of him, his hands are relaxed, and his steps are not so fast, and when answering the questions of the women around him, he also seems to inadvertently ask about those sick ladies.

Tuoba Tao asked the sick girls at the beginning, these women seemed to choke, one by one kept silent, one probably didn't dare to wipe Tuoba Tao's face, mosquito snorted and opened his mouth: "A few girls are indeed unwell as soon as they enter the palace, but it is not a serious illness." ”

A few others stopped talking, but in the end they didn't say anything.

Tuoba Tao didn't care, he just thought that his current disguised identity was low, and several women were reluctant to talk deeply, just silently thinking about the reason why these women dared to "get sick".

The atmosphere was a little sluggish for a while, and the East Palace was indeed small, so it soon arrived at the place where the women lived.

It is said to be a "backyard", but in fact it is nothing more than a courtyard wall so low that He Mullan can climb over it without any tools, and there is no difference between the small tiled houses made of earth and bricks on the streets of Heping City.

He Mullan swore that he had also seen a few rabbits in the yard, and as the man walked into the courtyard, he jumped into the hole and disappeared from somewhere.

"This is where you lived when you were the crown prince?" Hermulan whispered in disbelief and bit his ear at Tuobatao. “…… Hehe......"

She laughed dryly.

"Really...... Simple. ”

"If you want to say it's simple, you can just say it. At that time, there was a famine in Pingcheng, and I couldn't even eat, so where did I have the time and money to build a storage palace for me. Tuoba Tao also whispered back: "This is already good, the princess who married me back then had to weave and raise sheep by herself." ”

"You mean Mrs. Du, Mrs. Dugu, and Mrs. Horay?"

Since the Han Dynasty, the concubines in the palace have been honored as Mrs., which is not the same as the "Niangniang" used to be called in later generations.

It took a long time for He Mulan to know that Tuoba Tao's high-grade palace concubines were all honored as "Mrs.", but the only ones with the highest status were her childhood sweetheart's maiden sister Mrs. Du, the powerful Mrs. Dugu of the family, and Mrs. He Lai, who was born in the loyal He Lai family.

Their three ladies are "noble concubines, ladies, and nobles", and they are only below the queen in terms of position compared to the third duke.

Because Empress Tuoba Xianbeili of the Northern Wei Dynasty could not rely on the emperor's own favor, even the first emperor Tuoba Hei loved Princess Xiping and wanted her to be the queen, but the hand-cast gold man failed, and he could only become a "lady".

"Dugu and Helai were married to me later after I ascended the throne, and I'm talking about Dua."

Tuoba Tao sighed with some nostalgia.

"Dua loses her temper when she sees me now, and I don't dare to see her anymore."

The two were talking, and the owner of the bookcase led them to a small courtyard, which was not as big as the side courtyard of He Mulan's mansion, and they entered inside and out, and there were four rooms, and He Mulan's brows were furrowed, and he didn't know how this small room with the same standard room as the hotel could accommodate the five or six women who followed behind.

If it is said that the people who are drying books in the garden and those who are with the women who are drying books live in this courtyard, then the one who runs away with the shame of adding it......

That's too crowded, isn't it?

The election is just a few days away, and it is obvious that every woman in the East Palace has countless thoughts, and when they lead Tuoba Tao and He Mulan back, many women come out from other courtyards to watch the excitement. Fearing that others would recognize them, Hermulan and Tuoba Tao could only follow them with their heads bowed.

"I said that you also think of yourself too much, the palace people in the palace, you are so casual to call ......" A woman leaned against the door and sneered: "You five or six people, are you not able to do without hands and feet?" Can you carry the box out and someone else will carry it back for you? ”

It was a woman from the Wei Chi family who spoke, and her status was extremely high in this group of girls, and what worried He Mulan was that this woman accompanied her cousin Yu Chiyan to find her last time, and she must have known her.

He Mullan could only keep his head low.

"What, you know?"

Tuobatao, who also lowered his head and bent over, asked in a low voice.

"I've had a few encounters."

"It's not good, it's too conspicuous now, let's lose the box and run."

"Okay, then I'll shout one, two, three, let's go together."

The woman who asked Tuoba Tao to carry the box probably didn't dare to scold each other with the girl of the Wei Chi family, so she could only look at her toes with a dark face.

The other women looked left and right, and saw that Tuoba Tao only lowered his head, so he stopped talking, and pretended to be a little daughter-in-law.

He Mulan counted one, two, and three here, put the bookcase in his hand on the ground, and said to the woman behind him, "I sent something, we have something to go first", turned around and left.

Tuoba Tao naturally buried his head in keeping up and walked to another courtyard.

"What's the matter with you two! How can you hang out in the courtyard of a nobleman! A female official happened to inspect here, and saw several women standing at the gate of the courtyard, so she hurriedly came to investigate, and saw two tall eunuchs walking out, and immediately stopped them.

Tuoba Tao didn't speak, raised his head and glared at the female officer, what else did this female officer dare to say? Deng Shi took three steps back, covering his mouth and not daring to speak.

Tuoba Tao took He Mulan and walked past her without looking, He Mulan took a few steps and looked back, the female official's body was still slightly trembling, and she was very sympathetic for a while.

When you meet such a master, it's good if you don't scare the pee.

This is Tuobatao's territory, which is naturally very familiar, and with Hemulan turning around, he immediately turned to the side of an earthen wall, and tore off a large piece of moss and messy plants from the wall, revealing a large hole.

"Let's go, let's go over, there's the East Courtyard."

He Mulan was driven ducks to the shelves, so he could only follow Tuoba Tao to drill the entrance, and covered it up a little, and followed him into the east courtyard.

"Most of the sick women are women in the East Courtyard, and they can't stay for a long time when they are sick in the palace, and then the Queen Mother simply gathered all the sick people in the East Courtyard, and asked the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine to them every day......"

Tuoba Tao said with a smile: "Aunt Dou is too, it's okay if others are really sick, if you pretend to be sick, you will be forced to take so many medicines by the Queen Mother every day, and you will be sick if you are not sick." ”

"Empress Dowager Dou regards Her Majesty as a parent, and of course she thinks that Her Majesty is worthy of all the women in the world. When she heard that so many people were sick, she must not have felt that they were all sick, they must have 'pretended to be sick', and it was normal for her to be angry with Her Majesty. ”

He Mulan smiled, indicating that he could understand Empress Dowager Dou's thoughts.

"It's just that the twisted melon is not sweet, if His Majesty doesn't have the idea of marrying so many women, it is of course best to release it out of the palace."

Tuoba Tao nodded.

"The election is such a rule, they still think that I am really a faint king who can accept people when they see them!"

Tuoba Tao had already done his "homework" before he came, and roughly understood where the sick women lived in the East Courtyard, and took He Mulan to sneak through the wall and pick up a wall foot to listen to the movement.

They didn't come in through the entrance, but because no guards noticed it, and it provided them with a lot of convenience.

He Mulan and Tuoba Tao listened to the wall for a long time without hearing any sound inside, and He Mullan had the audacity to pierce the window screen and look inside......

It was empty, there was no one.

This time it was strange, Tuoba Tao and He Mulan glanced at each other, quietly moved out of this room, and poked the window screen into the other room, revealing the figure of a woman.

"This is in ......"

Tuoba Tao looked at it and lowered his voice excitedly: "This should be the girl from the Lu family, the Cui family sent a woman into the palace, and the Lu family didn't dare to refuse, so they sent her in." ”

Cui Hao chose his niece to enter the palace this time, which can be said to be the first direct daughter of the five surnames to be sent to the palace. Because Cui Hao started this, the Lu family and several other families did not dare to perfunctory the emperor, and they also sent distant girls or concubines from the family one after another.

"The seventh mother of the Lu family heard that she has been sick often since last year, and the family affairs that she originally said were withdrawn because of this, and his family could only send her to the palace, but she became sick as soon as she entered the palace."

Tuoba Tao whispered to Sù He Mulan.

"I think she's fine, she doesn't look sick......"

He Mullan shook his head.

"She can't say anything standing now, if she is really seriously ill, she will be sent out long ago."

There is also a palace maid by Lu Qiniang's side, she is a woman with a fifth surname, of course she can't let her come by herself, the palace maid was stuffed with a lot of things by the Lu family, and she did her best to serve her, at this time, seeing her standing up and walking around, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

"Qi Niang, you are just sick, you can't blow the wind, you can stay in bed to get better!"

Qi Niang smiled bitterly when she heard this: "You don't know my problem, three points are my own cold, and seven points are dragged out by me, at this time it is good or not, what is the difference!" ”

"The doctor said that you have been worried too much in the past year, and you need to recuperate, and it is not appropriate to get sick again. I know you don't want to enter the palace, but if something really happens in the palace, even I will have to pay for my life! "After all, this palace maid is a palace person, and her face is not very good-looking on the spot.

"Since we promised that Lu Envoy would try to let you out, you shouldn't sigh all day long."

"Of course, I was able to go out, but now I am sick so many ......"

Lu Qiniang smiled self-deprecatingly.

"With so many people getting sick at once, His Majesty is not a fool."

Tuoba Tao gave a strange look and looked at He Mulan.

"Looks like they don't want to marry me......"

He Mulan was about to open his mouth to comfort, but suddenly something flew towards the place where He Mulan and Tuoba Tao were hiding!

Tuoba Tao and He Mulan were both warriors, and they quickly dodged away when they saw something coming.

The thing fell to the ground and splashed a lot of medicinal juice, and the hot liquid flowed all over the ground, emitting a foul smell.

"What the hell is hiding there!" The familiar scream followed by a shout spread throughout the East Courtyard, "Someone! There are young people who spy on the good family! ”

"Mu Yun, don't scream!"

He Mulan was half frightened, and quickly pushed Tuoba Tao back, revealing his appearance, waving his hands wildly.

"It's me! It's me! ”

The one who is so good and super alert is none other than Wang Muyun, the girl born to the prodigal son of the Wang family and the girl of the Yuwen family.

Wang Muyun was also taken aback when he saw He Mulan.

"I said how ordinary eunuchs flashed so fast! It turned out to be you! What are you here to do? ”

She didn't know what to think, and couldn't help but gasp: "You won't have a sweetheart who was selected into the harem and wants to elope with her, right?" The sons of good families who can enter the palace are all candidates for future concubines, don't come randomly! ”

"What are you talking nonsense!"

He Mulan couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm naturally ......"

"Sister Wang, what's going on......

Lu Qiniang and the palace maid heard movement outside, and immediately opened the door and looked out.

The palace maid was already in her twenties, and she looked quite stable, but she was only slightly stunned when she saw that it was a eunuch.

But when the girl behind her saw He Mulan's appearance, she was like being struck by lightning, her face was as white as gold paper, and before Wang Muyun could open her mouth to cover it, Lu Qiniang had already screamed, "It's him!" He fell backwards all at once.

The palace maid reacted quickly and immediately held her up, but she could only keep her from falling to the ground, and Lu Qiniang was still stunned.

For a moment, everyone was stunned, not knowing what to do.

Wang Muyun already regretted it when he saw that it was He Mulan, and when he saw Lu Qiniang again, he was actually stunned, and he couldn't wait to scold He Mulan.

She stepped forward and grabbed Lu Qiniang, there was already a lot of noise outside at this time, obviously although her voice did not alarm too many people, but the neighbors and the healthy women who guarded the safety of this place must have known.

The palace maid looked at He Mulan, and then at Tuoba Tao who was bowing his head behind He Mulan, "Yun Niang, what's going on?" ”

"Now is not the time to speak......," Wang Muyun pointed in the direction casually, "My room is still empty, you go and hide first!" I will go to you when I have broken them up. ”

She didn't shy away from the palace maid at all when she spoke, obviously this palace maid had been bought by them, or simply the connections of the Wang family or the Lu family.

He Mulan was also decisive, and immediately pulled Tuoba Tao in the direction of the house she pointed to. When they got to the front of the room, both of them were smiling.

They had just passed by this house, poked the window screen and wondered why there was no one, it turned out to be the house of this Wang girl!

He Mulan pushed the door open, and Tuoba Tao hid inside. The two men entered the house and closed the door, gasping for air nervously.

The room was clean, there weren't many boxes or powder. Only a piano hangs on the wall, which looks like a treasure.

It's very similar to Wang Muyun's style.

Tuoba Tao's heart was put down, and he heard the sound of inquiries and answers outside, and he was stunned for a moment and then suddenly exclaimed!

"That's not right! This is my East Palace, what am I hiding! ”

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Liangjiazi Jia: (nymphomaniac) That majesty's arms are so thick, and his arms must be more generous......

Liangjiazi B: (saliva) That majesty has a thick chest and a strong waist......

Liangjiazi C: Didn't you notice that the one next to His Majesty was also strong? Carrying the bookcase, I don't even take a breath!

Girls: Huh? Isn't that a real eunuch?

Muller: ...... Can I slip my hands and drop these two boxes into the lake?
