Without waiting for Mrs. Gao to signal, the eldest girl Xiangxiu asked Zhao Youling crisply:

"Where did the girl come from, how did she jump over the wall and jump into our Huaiwang Mansion? Do you know that trespassing is a capital offense? ”

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a girl, trespassing into the back garden of the palace could be killed with a cane.

"I'm sorry, I'm lost."

When Zhao Youling jumped over the wall, he estimated that the high wall would be someone else's back house, but he didn't expect it to be the back garden of the palace, and he didn't expect that there would be people in the back garden so late.

Originally, people could sneak out without knowing it, but now it's okay, and being caught by someone, but Zhao Youling didn't do anything wrong, and her waist was straight.

even secretly thinking that if he could quietly stun these two people, he would be able to find a way out with peace of mind.

"Behind the palace is a narrow alley, if you don't walk the road, how can you get lost and get lost in our palace? If you can't explain it today, our lady won't spare you. ”

Today, Mrs. did not receive the son of the world back, and she was depressed and sleepless at night, sitting in the garden facing a pool of lotus flowers. was disturbed by the girl who fell from the sky inexplicably, and Xiangxiu, who knew her master's heart, did not give up.

"Huh?"

Mrs. Gao recognized Zhao Youling as the girl she saw at the North City Gate in the evening.

"You come here to talk. If you really get lost, I'll have someone send you out. ”

Mrs. Gao looked at Zhao Youling and approached, looking at her goose-yellow shirt like a misty moonlight, and it was indeed a woman with a fluttering spirit.

When you look closer, it's even more shocking.

"What's your name?"

"Zhao Youling."

Zhao Youling replied obediently.

"How did you get lost in the back alleys of our palace?"

Mrs. Gao remembered that the back alley of the palace used to be the Zhenguo Mansion, and the doors of the two mansions faced south and north, facing different streets. If you want to go to another province, you have to walk on a pillar of incense when you get in a carriage.

"That's a long story."

Zhao Youling felt that there was nothing to hide from being called by the Duchess of Zhenguo to do the embroidery girl, so she told Mrs. Gao as it was.

Mrs. Gao listened to it interestingly, especially when she heard that the fifth lady of the Zhenguo Mansion let Zhao Youling sneak away, she was even more happy.

Mrs. Zhenguo and her own daughter compete for favor in front of Mrs. Tai, this is really unusual!

But it's no wonder that the Wang family's family has no support, and they only gave birth to a son and a daughter when they fill the house for Zhenguogong. Mrs. Tai accepted a few side ladies for her son, but the child was either slippery or premature.

Others thought it was the Wang family who was secretly doing it, and refused to let the mother of the side room take away her favor by virtue of her son. The Wang family has bitter words, and in order not to bear the charge of being unvirtuous and unfilial, they can only try their best to please Mrs. Tai.

The fifth lady has reached the age of leaving the cabinet, and it is not to please Mrs. Tai to fight for a good husband.

Recently, the Duke of Zhenguo intends to marry the Huai Wangfu, and Mrs. Gao carefully considered it and felt that this marriage was not suitable.

If the fifth lady of the Zhenguo Mansion is allowed to enter, the nephew will not want to take a concubine and marry the side room. It's okay for Mrs. Tai to marry more Dona for her son to spend on the Shen family, but if it is her granddaughter's turn to be a wife, she will never let her granddaughter be wronged and serve a husband with other women.

Mrs. Zhenguo Mansion is the sister of the queen mother of the current dynasty, the mother of the late queen and the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, and the status is noble.

The Huai Wangfu is thin and has only one nephew, of course, it is impossible to marry only one wife.

Mrs. Gao always remembered that her sister-in-law was entrusted with her deathbed to treat her nephew as if she were her own son. She was young and widowed, and when she moved to the palace to take charge of her brother's house, she had to worry about the future of the palace.

Mrs. Gao retracted her smile and looked at the girl in front of her.

Such a fairy-like beauty, since she is destined to come to the palace, of course she can't let it go. If you leave it to your nephew as a concubine, your nephew will be very happy.

Under careful questioning, Zhao Youling didn't know where she came from or where she was going, which was too much for Mrs. Gao.

"If the girl has nowhere to go, it is better to stay in the palace and give me companionship, and I will never treat the girl badly."

Mrs. Gao's words were earnest, and Zhao Youling nodded with flashing eyes.

It will definitely not be more difficult to be a companion to the lady of the palace than embroidery, anyway, there is still some money on him, so it is better to stay for a while. Zhao Youling had a hunch in her heart that she had to stay here to know where she came from and what she was going to do.

Mrs. Gao immediately ordered someone to clean up the wing room of Lingyun Pavilion for Zhao Youling to live in.

Xiangxiu hung up the silky tent and retreated with a slight bend of her knees towards Zhao Youling.

"Sister, wait a minute."

Zhao Youling had already seen that when Mrs. Gao said that she would live in Lingyun Pavilion, this Xiangxiu girl's face changed, although it was only fleeting, it also fell into her eyes.

"What else does the girl command?"

The girl who broke into the palace inexplicably became the little master who wanted her to serve in a blink of an eye, and Xiangxiu panicked. When he speaks, he lowers his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and his voice does not have a trace of warmth.

"The status of the slave is low, and she can't afford to be a girl and a sister. Mrs. Gao called the slave maid Xiangxiu. ”

Xiangxiu has already reminded Mrs. Gao that the wall of the back garden is so high, not to mention Zhao Youling, a delicate and soft girl, even the guards of the Royal Forest Army may not be able to turn in. But Mrs. Gao believed Zhao Youling's explanation, climbed to the wall along the camphor tree outside the wall, and then jumped down and hugged the big willow tree next to the water.

Anyway, no one saw Zhao Youling the moment she jumped down, and when she noticed her, she was wearing a goose yellow dress, like a fairy dressed in moonlight, and Xiangxiu was as shocked as Mrs. Gao at that time.

Now the more Xiangxiu thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes. In case the girl is a flying thief, and Mrs. Gao places her in the prince's room, and it seems that she is going to be a concubine for the prince, wouldn't it harm the prince.

"Sister, I don't need to be polite, I just want to talk to you."

Zhao Youling stepped forward to pull Xiangxiu's hand, and Xiangxiu put her hands behind her back, seemingly making up her mind to draw a line with her.

took the initiative to show favor and was rejected, and Zhao Youling did not force it. She wanted to ask who was in this palace, and what she usually had to pay attention to.

Xiangxiu is happy to answer these questions.

Huai Wang's Mansion is run by Huai Wang's own sister Mrs. Gao, Huai Wang has been in poor health for nearly two years and is sick in the palace to recuperate, usually do not let people go over to disturb, she deliberately did not mention the prince - Mu Hanchi, the general of Zhenbei who is about to return to Beijing.

"The prince's surname is Mu, why is his sister called Mrs. Gao?"

Zhao Youling had a troubled look.

"That's because the prince's sister is married to General Gao. In the past, the noble ladies in the capital also liked to call Mrs. Gao Mu, and since Mrs. Gao came to the palace to take charge, everyone used to call her Mrs. Gao. ”

Xiangxiu rolled her eyes, feeling that Zhao Youling's question was a little lacking. But no matter how young people lack hearts, who let Mrs. Gao fall in love!

"Then Mrs. Gao will not go home when she goes to the palace to take charge, General Gao has no opinion?"

Burst!

Xiangxiu almost crooked her nose in anger. Twelve years ago, General Gao died on the battlefield with King Huai in the northern border, Princess Huai was seriously ill in bed, Mrs. Gao pleaded with her in-laws and left her husband's house to help take care of the palace, and it has been twelve years in the blink of an eye.

"Mrs. Gao has worked hard."

Zhao Youling was thoughtful.

"The girl has nothing else to do, and the slave has retired."

"Xiangxiu."

Xiangxiu had already walked to the door, and when she heard Zhao Youling calling her, she had to turn around and stand still.

"Sister, is this Lingyun Pavilion only inhabited by you and me?"

When she entered, she could clearly see that behind this Lingyun Pavilion was a piece of bamboo, and the front door was connected to the back garden by a stone bridge. Looking at the layout, it is somewhat similar to the Huanyue Xuan of the Zhenguo Mansion, but the room layout is more suitable for living and reading.

She lives in the east wing on the side, and Xiangxiu is ready to wait in the ear room next to her. The four doors of the main house are tightly closed, not like someone lives, but when you pass by, you can smell the smell of vanilla wafting out of the house.

"Yes for the time being, I don't know if anyone will come to the slave in the future."

Xiangxiu's words were a pun.

Of course, the main house is where the prince comes back to live. The west wing and the ear room are still empty, and there is no guarantee that Mrs. Gao will be able to arrange someone to live in tomorrow.

Before the prince came back, Mrs. Gao stepped up to find a beautiful companion for the prince in the capital.

A touch of sorrow rose between Xiangxiu's eyebrows, and after lowering her eyes and replying to Zhao Youling's words, she heard that she could leave, so she hurriedly went out and closed the door.

The products in the room are very particular. The jewelry box on the dressing table is full of jewels, earrings, step shakes, hairpin rings, Watson ...... Zhao Youling was dazzled. Every thing you pick up and look at it feels more luxurious and valuable than the things of the jewelry stall owners on the ten-mile-long street.

It should cost a lot of money......

Zhao Youling carefully held the pearl hairpin, gestured between her hair, and suddenly remembered the stall owner's impatient wave. She felt that this was inappropriate, after all, it was someone else's thing, and she didn't say that it was given to her, and she didn't have a lot of money to buy it, so it was enough to appreciate it.

Put the jewelry box back on the dressing table and get ready to wash up and go to bed.

At this time, I heard the sound of small footsteps outside the door.

She could make out Xiangxiu's footsteps, the footsteps outside the door were coming from the stone bridge, and she quickly walked to the earroom next to her and stopped, and then there was the sound of the door opening and closing.

Someone went to Xiangxiu's room, and the footsteps should be a woman.

Zhao Youling covered her mouth and yawned, saw the face wash that Xiangxiu gave her by the door, washed her face twice casually, and prepared to lie down and sleep well.

I saw a moon-white shirt and pants on the cage next to the bed, which was probably made by Mrs. Gao to prepare her for sleep.

It's good luck today, both ladies look so kind. It's just that I can't help the Duchess of Zhenguo do embroidery, and I still feel a little sorry for her. In the future, if you have the opportunity to compensate her, embroider a small purse or wipe her forehead.

Zhao Youling is inexplicably quite confident in her embroidery work.

After changing his shirt and trousers, he picked up the money bag and counted the pieces of silver. Now it feels like shiny broken silver is more attractive than round copper coins.

After collecting the silver, I found that the blue brocade copper coin pattern was embroidered with a golden word "Zhao".
