Chapter 116: Taboo
When Huan Yi's carriage walked away, Zhou Lu came out to greet him, and when he walked behind Tao Ge, Tao Ge also happened to turn around, and suddenly saw someone standing behind him, Tao Ge couldn't help but be startled.
Zhou Lu sneered and asked, "The girl is Xiao Su, the daughter of the Lanling Xiao family?"
Tao Ge nodded, Zhou Lu waved at her, and said, "Slave Zhou Lu, I've seen Miss Xiao."
At this time, Xi Ping sat in the carriage and saw it, so he got up and walked behind Ziji, and said in a low voice, "It's time for us to go down."
Ziji glanced back at Xi Ping when he heard this, and responded, "Yes."
Then he got out of the carriage, Xi Ping also got off the ground, and the two walked behind Tao Ge together.
Zhou Lu smiled and continued: "King Langya recommended you to enter the palace, and you are from the Xiao family of Lanling, Your Majesty heard about this, and immediately ordered the slave maid to send a message to the Ministry of Rites, named you a beauty, and gave you a residence in the Yilan Palace, as for the holy decree of the Ministry of Rites, I think it will be sent to the Yilan Hall tonight, Xiao Meiren, the slave maid will take you to the Yilan Hall to see?"
Zhou Lu mentioned that Sima Yao gave her such a big face because of Sima Daozi, and it was clear that she was off the horse, and Tao Ge also heard it, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to him, and said with a gentle smile: "Then there is Lao Zhou's father-in-law."
It can be seen that this person must be a big celebrity in front of His Majesty, if not, how could His Majesty send him to meet her.
Zhou Lu took the silver, and only then did he show a satisfied smile, and his face immediately changed, with a hint of respect on his face, he turned sideways and made a "please" gesture to her, and then said, "Xiao Meiren, please."
Tao Ge followed him into the palace, and Chun'er and the three of them also followed Tao Ge in.
When he stepped into the palace gate with his feet raised, Zhou Lu suddenly said: "Xiao Meiren, if you cross this threshold, you will never be able to get out."
There was a clear feeling between the words, and it seemed that he also had the heart to escape from this palace wall.
Tao Ge didn't speak, and she didn't say anything on the way to Yilan Palace, but she heard Zhou Lu introduce her to the names of each palace and hall in turn, and who lived in them.
Also, whether this place can be visited or not.
Taoge wrote it down.
When he arrived at the Yilan Palace, Zhou Lu first entered the main hall, and Tao Ge followed, Zhou Lu clapped his hands, and all the palace maids in the hall ran over quickly, standing in a neat row.
Zhou Lu turned to look at Tao Ge sideways, and said to the palace maid: "This is Xiao Meiren, the new master of Yilan Palace," when talking about the "new master", Zhou Lu obviously paused, his face was a little wrong, and he was obviously a little taboo that he had said the wrong thing.
Then he continued: "It's your future master, Xiao Meiren is not small, how many of you have to serve her wholeheartedly, do you hear clearly?"
"Yes," the palace maids agreed, and then saluted Tao Gefu together, and called respectfully: "Say hello to Xiao Meiren."
Tao Ge stepped forward, looked at these palace maids from left to right, and then picked out a few, and said, "The four of you stay here, and the rest," as he spoke, he turned to look at Zhou Lu and said with a smile: "Please ask Grandpa Zhou to arrange it elsewhere."
Zhou Lu glanced at the few who were about to be driven away, then looked at Tao Ge, and asked: "These are all personally selected by His Majesty a few days ago to wait here to serve you, but you want the slave and maid to send them to other places, forgive the slave and maid for talking too much, the slave and maid really don't know what Xiao Meiren means."
Tao Ge smiled faintly, among these palace maids, there are really not simple.
That's why she estimated that she picked a few to leave, and those who raised their heads and smiled at her seemed to have some bad intentions, and those who lowered their heads and were submissive were basically a little wooden, these four people must not be the eyeliner that others planted here.
"My father-in-law went back and thanked Your Majesty on my behalf, but I like to be pure, and leaving so many people here to serve makes me uncomfortable, so it is better to send them elsewhere, so there are some things to do."
Zhou Lu nodded, agreed with a smile, and said: "Xiao Meiren likes to be pure, but the slave maid is not thoughtful," as he spoke, he glanced at the one on the far left of the four palace maids, and there was clearly something else in his eyes.
Tao Ge just smiled and didn't answer, and Zhou Lu then said: "Look at this Yilan Palace, there is nothing to do, Xiao Meiren has also been brought, and the slave and maid have retreated."
"Father-in-law Zhou walks slowly."
Seeing Zhou Lu walk away with his own eyes, Tao Ge turned around and looked at the four palace maids one by one, and then pretended to ask casually: "Who lived in this Yilan Hall before?"
No one answered, and at that time, Tao Ge happened to walk to the third palace maid on the left, so he held the Ke Tingdi in his hand and gently picked up her chin, and said, "I'm asking you, why don't you answer?"
The palace maid was a little frightened, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the beauty, it is the noble concubine Zhuang."
Zhuang Guifei? Tao Ge frowned slightly, she had never heard that there was a noble concubine in this palace.
Tao Ge walked to the second palace maid on the left, pointed at her with Ke Tingdi, and asked, "Where is Concubine Zhuang now?"
The palace maid said, "Death...... Dead ......"
Tao Ge was slightly stunned, and he was really dead, no wonder Zhou Lu was a little evasive in his words.
Tao Ge walked up to the palace maid on the far left and asked, "How did Concubine Zhuang die?"
How do you know that this palace maid doesn't raise her head, unlike others, and said calmly: "If you go back to the beauty, the slave doesn't know."
Tao Ge smiled faintly, it seems that he just missed it, which is also a clever one.
"What's your name?"
"Slave Yuxiu."
"Zhong Ling Yuxiu, what a good name," Tao Ge said, Yu Xiu was about to thank him, but Tao Ge suddenly turned Ke Tingdi to the palace maid on the far right, and said, "You say!" How did Zhuang Guifei die! ”
The palace maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying: "The beauty spares her life, but the slave doesn't know it...... The slave really doesn't know! ”
Tao Ge frowned slightly, these people are so taboo to mention Zhuang Guifei, this Zhuang Guifei is either a violent death, or a very miserable death! I heard Aunt Xie say that the new women who enter the palace, as long as they are below the thousand stones, should live in the Changning Palace, and the beauties are also under the thousand stones, and she should have lived in the Changning Palace when she first entered the palace.
Sima Yao specially arranged for her to live in such a gloomy place as Yilan Palace, he was testing her, he didn't suspect that she was an informant planted by Sima Daozi in the inner palace! Tao Ge frowned, she thought, since Sima Yao was suspicious of her, then she was just in front of Zhou Lu, so she should be more restrained.
Tao Ge turned her gaze to Yu Xiu again, implying that she wondered if this person was inserted by Sima Yao to spy on her.
Tao Ge retracted his gaze, still looking at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, stepped forward to help her up, and deliberately muttered: "What are you doing, I'm just curious and want to inquire, if you don't tell me, you still torture me like this, I'm going to be angry."
The palace maid was helped to stand up, and said, "The slave and maid don't dare, the slave and maid don't dare."
Yuxiu looked at it and sneered secretly, thinking that this Xiao beauty was just a paper tiger. (To be continued.) )
