Chapter 579: People are stingy
Stop-and-go, stop-and-turn, and I don't know how many courtyards I walked through, and how many corridors I passed, before the imperial official stopped. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Is it there?
Tan Xiaotian secretly said in his heart - what the imperial official just said is very clear, there are many rules and taboos in the palace, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, those who live here are either royal relatives and nobles or harem concubines, their status is noble, and they can't be blasphemed, if you see it without permission, maybe you will be guilty of committing a crime, so after entering the palace, the best way is to lower your head and just take care of the aisle, let you do it, let you stop, so after walking for so long, he just looked for an opportunity to peek at the surrounding environment a few times, where did he go, That's completely unaware.
Looking up, there is also a palace courtyard in front of you, blue bricks and blue tiles, green trees and flowers, it is a bit of elegant feeling, and there are several brocade guards with long knives on their waists in front of the door like other palaces, one by one does not squint, and the face is like a clay sculpture.
At this time, the royal official completely lost the arrogant demeanor that he had just in front of the two, and bent down, his face full of flattering sneers.
"Master Jun, this little boy is the new Go teacher of Princess Crescent, and he will report to the palace today, please ask the master to give me a word."
"Wait." One of the guards glanced at the three of them, answered with a voice, turned around and entered the courtyard, and after a while, another palace maid came out, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, not pretty, but also with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a dignified demeanor.
"Which one is the princess to teach Go?" The palace maid asked, her tone much more polite than that of the imperial official.
"It's this little boy." The imperial official hurriedly introduced Tan Xiaotian sideways - he, the imperial official, could be angry in front of the common people and even officials of low grade, but in front of these royal relatives and relatives in the palace, he didn't dare to put it on a show at all.
"Uh......, it's ..... so young", the palace maid obviously didn't expect the new Go teacher to be so young, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Yes, I really didn't expect it, but he has an official document from the Ministry of Etiquette, which is genuine, and there must be nothing wrong with it." The Imperial Gate Palace echoed and replied - the reason why he dared to put up a fight in front of Tan Xiaotian and Zheng Xing before was that he felt that the teaching at such an age would definitely not last long with Princess Crescent, and he was not afraid of being offended, and if he was replaced by another adult in his twenties and thirties, he would definitely not look like he was in love with him.
"What's wrong with being young? ......" The conversation between the two Tan Xiaotian was a little uncomfortable when he heard it, he had long heard that Princess Crescent Moon was about the same age as him, or even younger, in all fairness, he actually didn't want to be a teacher of this princess, although he only needed to enter the palace to teach chess three times a month, but this kind of teaching was not beneficial to him except for wasting time to improve his chess skills, and it was better to play a few more games of chess when he had that time. He knows very well that although his chess skills are still far from the first-class masters, the real level must have reached the ninth grade, and the seventh and eighth grade chess players have a fighting strength, with such a strength to teach a seven or eight-year-old little girl, even those who have been playing for more than ten or twenty years are not from the so-called Go players who are not from a family.
"Uh......, what did you say?" Although Tan Xiaotian's voice was small, the little palace maid's ear power was not bad, and when she heard the child's complaint, she asked curiously-What kind of place is this? Ouchi Imperial Palace! Don't say it's a little child, how many adults enter the palace are submissive, scared, and don't dare to make a sound, this child actually dares to refute it, which makes her very surprised.
"No, it's nothing, the child is not sensible, don't care about this sister." Tan Xiaotian was not convinced, Zheng Xing was not as bold as him, he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out when he heard this, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and explained for Tan Xiaotian, as for calling the other party a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl 'sister', her status is different, and her age should be secondary.
"Oh......, who are you?" The little palace maid didn't want to pursue Tan Xiaotian's slander, although the other party was young, after all, he was still taught by the emperor, although she didn't know how long she could last with Princess Crescent Moon in the end, but it was not something that her little palace daughter could question, so she turned to Zheng Xing and asked.
"My name is Zheng Xing, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion, and I will send every day to the palace to report today." Zheng Xing hurriedly replied.
"Oh, that's right. Okay, you wait outside, you come in with me, you can go back. The little palace maid motioned for Tan Xiaotian to enter the courtyard with her, and asked Zheng Xing to wait outside the door, as for the imperial official, she sent her away casually.
Hearing that he wanted to go in alone, Tan Xiaotian was a little nervous, and hurriedly looked at Zheng Xing, hoping that Zheng Xing could accompany him to go in, but Zheng Xing knew in his heart that this was the residence of Princess Crescent, and only palace maids and eunuchs usually went in and out, and those who had a family and a job had not lived enough, but they didn't have that plan, so he whispered a few words of comfort and told Tan Xiaotian that he would always stay outside the door and wait for him to come out, and Tan Xiaotian followed in with confidence.
The courtyard is very large, there are rockeries, ponds, flowers everywhere, green grass, pavilions and pavilions, beautiful, maybe led by the little palace maid, the atmosphere feels much more relaxed than before.
"Hey, little sir, shall I call it that?" It is rare to see outsiders in the palace, let alone a child like Tan Xiaotian, the little palace maid has the intention to tease this child with a very good character.
"Sir, sir, why do you need to add a small word." Tan Xiaotian protested dissatisfied.
"Hee-hee, then let me ask you, how old are you this year?" The little palace maid asked with a grin.
"Eight years old." Tan Xiaotian replied stiffly.
"It's only eight years old, hehe, my sister is thirteen years old this year, who do you think is the older of the two of us?" The little palace maid asked.
"......, you're big." Tan Xiaotian replied helplessly.
"Then I call you Mr. Xiao, is it wrong?" The little palace maid asked again.
"Well....., that's right." Tan Xiaotian nodded unwillingly.
"Hehe, little sir, I heard that you are playing chess very well, is it true?" Verbally having the upper hand, the little palace maid asked proudly.
"Good or bad, who is the score and whom." Tan Xiaotian replied very seriously.
I didn't expect to get such an answer, the little palace maid was obviously a little surprised, and couldn't help but look back at such a little gentleman again.
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Tan Xiaotian said strangely - since he left Meilong Town, he has rarely had the opportunity to deal with little girls, and the only two times are afraid that they are still with Zhang Xiangye's granddaughter, so in Tan Xiaotian's impression, girls are the kind of people who like to have nothing to do and are careful and love to lose their temper, and the little palace maid is exactly like this now.
