Zhang's house is not far from the imperial city, two quarters of an hour later, into the imperial city, and after walking for a while, he came to the front of the great prince's mansion, and was just about to enter the door when suddenly a woman's voice shouted: "Stop!" Don't come in! ”

The sedan chair stopped immediately, and Fang Zhongyue looked up to see five guards with knives on each side of the porch, and a young woman stood in the door, dressed like a maid, and she should have called it to stop.

The manager, Zhou Puxin, immediately stepped up the steps, Zhang Xiyue also heard it in the sedan car, lifted a corner of the sedan curtain and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know!" Yin Xiaotao's mouth was quick, "There's a woman in the door..." ”

At this time, Manager Zhou approached to ask, and the woman said loudly: "The imperial concubine has ordered, Mrs. Ru is not allowed to go to the main gate, this is the rule." So please take Mrs. Zhou to the east side door! ”

"Oh... Since it was ordered by the imperial concubine, I will do as Miss Li says. Mr. Zhou turned around and walked back.

Zhang Xiyue was surprised in her heart, frowned and asked, "Yuan Gongzi, is there really such a rule?"

At that time, many of the red tape Fang Zhong was too young to know everything, so after thinking about it, he replied: "It seems that there is... The royal rules are different from the folk, for example, there is a special royal road in the palace, and no one else is allowed to walk except the emperor. ”

Zhang Xiyue put down the sedan curtain with a sigh, and Manager Zhou walked back to the sedan chair and turned to the east side door.

This mansion was originally the residence of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang when he did not ascend the throne, formerly known as Wu Wangfu, outside the palace to the south of Fengtianmen; It occupies a wide area of land, and there are many buildings in the house, with a total of five floors of courtyards.

The sedan chair was carried directly to a big house in the courtyard on the third floor, and the chief manager Zhou came to the sedan chair and said, "Mrs. Zhang, please get off the sedan chair!"

Fang Zhongyue listened but was very puzzled, because she saw the girl Li who had just stopped the sedan chair in front of the mansion standing on the steps in front of the big house, and said in her heart, where is this?

Yin Xiaotao picked up the front side of the sedan curtain Zhang Xiyue walked out slowly, and Manager Zhou led her to the front of the steps and said, "Mrs. Zhang, you can just go in with this Miss Li."

That Miss Li was tall and ordinary, so she looked at Zhang Xiyue condescendingly, and said coldly without being polite: "Follow me!"

Yin Xiaotao followed Zhang Xiyue up the steps but was scolded by Miss Li, "So ignorant of the rules? The subordinates stayed, and only Mrs. Zhang came in alone. ”

Yin Xiaotao was reprimanded for no reason, she was very annoyed but she couldn't attack, she returned to Fang Zhongyu's side with a blank look, and muttered: "She is vivid, I think she is a subordinate herself!"

"Shhhh

Over there, Zhang Xiyue walked up the steps, and someone in the door lifted the sand curtain and Miss Li led her in.

After entering the door, Zhang Xiyue couldn't help but be stunned, she originally thought that Zhu Gaochi was inside, but unexpectedly, there were no women and no men in the room.

In the middle of the east wall is a soft couch of golden silk nanmu, on which sits a woman; The woman is less than thirty years old and wears a phoenix crown and a xiaxia veil, her face is very white and beautiful, and a pair of big eyes are staring at her.

On the side of the soft couch against the north wall, there are two carved mahogany chairs, on which two people sit one is tall and delicate, the other is charming, and both of them are also wearing gold and silver to look at the scrutinizing eyes.

"Mrs. Zhang, please see the imperial concubine..."Miss Li pointed to the futon in front of the soft couch and stepped aside.

Zhang Xiyue was a little confused, thinking that this woman was only about thirty, and it couldn't be Zhu Gaochi's mother! If it's his wife, I don't have to bow down...
