Wu Ye turned sideways and asked, "Where have the palace attendants and palace maids gone?" ”

The chief attendant followed Wu Ye all the way, his footsteps were vain, and he had a feeling of unreality. Hearing Wu Ye's question, he hurriedly replied humbly: "Hearing the news that the Zheng thief was captured, many people ran away, and the rest were all hiding in the inner courtyard. ”

Wu Ye sighed and said, "Zheng thief, hehe, the chief manager's ability to steer the rudder when he sees the wind is not inferior to the ministers." ”

The chief chamberlain had no choice but to laugh, anyway, he was a subordinate, with no dignity at all, and he did not have the moral burden of those sanctimonious ministers in the main hall.

Wu Ye walked out of the study, looked at the sky thoughtfully, and said: "Tell those palace people that those who are willing to stay can continue to do the original thing, and those who don't want to stay, give them a little money and find their own way out." ”

The chief chamberlain hurriedly nodded his head to indicate that he had written it down.

The ladies and concubines who originally lived in the side hall had long since disappeared, and they ran cleanly.

The chief chamberlain carefully explained: "Among the concubines, those with family backgrounds and forces took advantage of this civil strife to secretly take them back. There are also some people who are looking for opportunities to sneak away by themselves, before the new king you came, the palace was already in chaos, everyone was in danger, and the old slave had no available people, so he couldn't control the situation, so he could only let them escape. But the new king doesn't have to worry, when the situation stabilizes, the old slave will send people to carry out the selection of concubines in various parts of Zheng State, and the beauties of Zheng Guo are like clouds, and they will definitely be able to find a beauty that suits the new king's heart. ”

Wu Ye didn't expect the chief chamberlain to misunderstand his intentions like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Forget it, there's no rush in this matter." ”

Continue to walk forward, is Zheng Zhuanggong's dormitory, and it is also empty, and the breeze blows the unclosed windows, making a crackling sound.

The chief chamberlain pointed to the building at the back of the dormitory and said meaningfully: "Behind it is the back garden of Zheng Zhuanggong, the new king is interested in taking a look." ”

Wu Ye nodded.

The two of them stepped on a wood-paved path, which was lined with trees on both sides of the path, and a warm breeze blew in front of them, bringing the breath of spring in this cold season.

At the end of the winding path, the space suddenly opens up, revealing a beautiful garden full of flowers and swaying vines.

Compared with the glimmer of spring that has just sprouted from everything in the outside world, it is really full of spring here, with birds singing and flowers.

The chief chamberlain pointed to the four bronze pillars in the center of the garden and explained: "These four pillars are hollow, and there are four boilers connected to them, and they never go out in winter to maintain a comfortable temperature. ”

Wu Ye looked at the smoky bath, there were still many fresh flower petals floating on it, and the pebbled road surrounded the bath. There are hanging chairs, red ropes, swings and other playthings on all sides.

Wu Ye smiled simply: "I didn't expect Zheng Zhuanggong to be such a childlike guy." ”

The chief chamberlain coughed and said with a wry smile: "New king, these things are not played by one person. ”

"Ugh." Even Wu Ye, who had no more experience, understood the meaning of the chief attendant at this moment. He blushed and said embarrassedly, "This... That one... Sure enough, he is a monarch with ideas. ”

The chief of the internal rumor flattered: "This, the new king doesn't have to worry, the old slave will choose a concubine and let her show the new king one by one." ”

Wu Ye froze in place and said word by word: "No... Make move... Urgent. ”

As the two spoke, the curtain in one corner of the garden kept shaking.

Wu Ye knew by virtue of his breath that it was a group of weak women who were powerless, and ignored them.

The chief chamberlain also noticed the abnormality of the place, hurriedly walked over, tore open the gauze curtain, and a group of white carcasses and bodies rolled out of it, screaming constantly.

Wu Ye didn't expect this scene at all, he, who had never experienced personnel, instantly turned red and turned his head.

The chief chamberlain had long been accustomed to it, and drove these naked women to kneel in front of Wu Ye.

The group of panicked women were driven like animals by the chief chamberlain, and they came to kneel in front of Wu Ye in a panic.

The chief chamberlain shouted, "Don't scream, don't be honest, meet the new king." ”

The women forcibly suppressed their fears and cried out in a ragged voice, "Meet the new king." ”

In fact, they already have a clear vision of their future.

How could a new king accept the things used by the previous prince, not to mention these women who have been ravaged and ruined by the previous prince, no matter how beautiful they are, what is the use, licked by Zheng Zhuanggong's greasy mouth, pressed by his fat belly, heavy sweat and bad breath, and when he dreamed back at midnight, he also felt disgusting.

In the future, for them, being able to live in the cold palace for the rest of their lives is already a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes.

Another possibility is to accompany the funeral of Zheng Zhuanggong, which is a custom, a very ceremonial but cold-blooded practice.

The women didn't think about running away, and they took action, but when they ran naked through the tree-lined path, they were greeted by a bitter cold wind.

The smell of winter had not yet fully faded, and cold and hunger enveloped the women who had been in the garden for too long, and they wandered around like rootless spirits in the empty palace. Eventually, many of them couldn't stand the cold, gave up escaping, and returned to the garden where they had been imprisoned for the rest of their lives.

Anyway, it's all death, dying in a warm place, and you won't feel cold in the underworld.

Wu Ye heard that the women behind him gradually quieted down, so he turned around, but he didn't expect them to kneel on the ground naked, so he quickly turned back and said embarrassedly: "Find some clothes for them to wear." ”

The chief chamberlain said in embarrassment: "New king, this is the garden of Zheng Zhuanggong, these women are raised here, and they never wear clothes, and the old slaves can't find clothes for them for a while. ”

Wu Ye raised his hand and waved lightly at the gauze curtain hanging around the garden, the curtain was cut off by the air current, and it was split into several pieces in the air and floated to the middle of the group of women.

The chief chamberlain hurriedly urged: "Don't hurry up and put on your clothes, how can you filthy bodies be embarrassed to be naked in front of the new king, and you are not afraid of staining the eyes of the new king." ”

These women picked up the broken curtains, wrapped them around their bodies at will, and left the key points alone, they had not worn clothes for too long, and they did not understand the use of wearing clothes.

The chief chamberlain said softly, "New king, it's all right. ”

Wu Ye turned around hesitantly, although he had been mentally prepared, he was still dizzy by Bai Huahua's body. It's really strange, when I didn't wear anything just now, the picture was beautiful. How can this fragrant and stimulating feeling increase after wrapping the curtain?

Wearing less is really richer than not wearing.
