Although the palace is known as the harem beauties of 3,000 people, but in fact, not everyone can have their own independent palace, each palace is recorded, and there needs to be enough grade to be gifted to live in, those who have not received grace Many beauties are actually gathered in a certain palace to live together, not only the living environment is narrow, even the food is not good.

Most of the people who can enter the palace are official women, and all of them can be regarded as pampered and raised, but in the palace, if they are not blessed with holy grace, they only have white rice and a simple meat and a vegetable, and they must be quantified, not to mention other uses.

This is also because of this, these women in the palace will desperately snatch the grace of the gods, because only with the grace of the gods can they move out, and the degree of food and clothing will also increase with their own rank.

It's not that there is no woman's mother's family with extraordinary financial resources and can subsidize one or two, but those official eunuchs who send their daughters to the palace, which one doesn't expect the daughter who marries into the palace to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, so as to promote his mother's family?

Therefore, even if the mother's family is willing to subsidize one or two, these women in the palace have been in the palace for a long time, and the family members outside the palace have no hope, so they will gradually no longer stick silver, but will raise other women in the clan, so those who will continue to post silver are mostly women's mothers and the like, but how long can they be pasted?

In the final analysis, you still have to rely on yourself, otherwise even the palace people in the palace will be high and low, and you will be powerless.

Of course, Xiao Xiantang didn't tell Mu Chonglan about this, because he didn't want Mu Chonglan to hear this, as if these would dirty Mu Chonglan's ears, so Xiao Xiantang was actually doing similar things while not liking Mu Yuanshan's doting on Mu Chonglan, and he didn't know it.

Fortunately, Mu Chonglan was not particularly curious about the things in this palace, her impression of the palace in her previous life was that she didn't look down on her at first, and then she stammered one by one, and she looked very terrifying, not to mention that Xiao Xiantang was very strict with her in her previous life, and she would not let her be alone, as if she hated to tie her to her belt.

As for this life, Mu Chonglan's only impression now is that Emperor Sheng, a bad old man, is bad and ruthless, and the old witch of the Queen Mother looks like a good person, but she is actually bad and ruthless, so when she knows that she is stupid and can't play tricks with these people, Mu Chonglan's instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm tells her that these people can't get involved.

It is better not to befriend or befriend evil, because whoever you befriend is tantamount to befriending her enemy, and whoever you befriend is not necessarily able to make good friends with that person's enemy, but may be feared.

This is the palace, a place where people eat without spitting out bones.

"By the way, I'm a little curious, you just brought me here...... How did you know about the secret passage? Mu Chonglan thought to himself, it is not strange that there is a secret passage in the palace, but it is very strange for Xiao Xiantang to know the secret passage here.

What's more, the secret passage that Xiao Xiantang took her through could even hide from the guards who were on duty in this palace, which was even more strange.

Xiao Xiantang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then frowned and said, "There is no secret passage that can hide from my eyes." ”

"That's right." Mu Chonglan nodded, remembering that Xiao Xiantang had learned "Tongtianlu", the book "Tongtianlu" is really mysterious, Xiao Xiantang knew all kinds of organs in the tower tomb, so it seemed that he could find the mechanisms in the palace, and it seemed that there was nothing strange.

Just now, I actually felt that Xiao Xiantang was unusually familiar with the topography of the palace and the various furnishings in this palace, as if he had lived here, and he really thought too much.

Mu Chonglan secretly thought that he was really suspicious, and even Xiao Xiantang was suspicious.

Seeing the chagrin on Mu Chonglan's face, Xiao Xiantang breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was a little melancholy.

Mu Chonglan hadn't seen his hand movements on his back for a long time, and couldn't help but look at him curiously. "What are you thinking?"

"Nothing." was interrupted from thinking, Xiao Xiantang was not annoyed, and smiled at Mu Chonglan.

Mu Chonglan also replied to him with a big smile, in her previous life, she liked to look at Xiao Xiantang's smile, but unfortunately Xiao Xiantang rarely smiled later, and her face was always full of melancholy, so when she saw the fourth prince Xiao Jingsheng, she found that he smiled a little like Xiao Xiantang, so she liked to look at him very much, and would have a good impression of him, most likely because he smiled a little like Xiao Xiantang.

"What is Emperor Sheng looking for you to do today?" Mu Chonglan changed her posture to make herself more comfortable in Xiao Xiantang's arms, she is not tall now, but Xiao Xiantang is tall, so picking her up can still be like holding a child, but when she grows for another two years, when Xiao Xiantang holds her, the height of the two people will easily give people a very strange and embarrassing feeling, so after she grew taller in her previous life, she didn't like to let Xiao Xiantang hold herself.

"He told me to go to Yanzhou." Xiao Xiantang didn't hide it, because it was useless to conceal it, Emperor Sheng was able to summon him into the palace to say this, presumably he had already made preparations, and he couldn't help but want to leave or not.

Mu Chonglan was a little surprised: "Yanzhou? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Xiantang nodded, the place in Yanzhou, as the name suggests, is rich in salt, and it belongs to a very important area for Dasheng, so at first many people thought that they would be able to soar if they went there, but in fact, this place that seems to be easy to get ahead of the day is a mix of all kinds of fish and dragons, and almost every year there are officials who are inexplicably lost there, so don't say that the day you come out, once you show your talents, whether you can see the sun tomorrow is a matter of maybe.

Mu Chonglan bit her lip, Xiao Xiantang had been to Yanzhou in his previous life, and he had been there for more than a year, but he couldn't go with him, he could only be bullied very miserably alone, at that time, she was just sad and sympathetic every day, and felt that everything was not going well, so I didn't know how Xiao Xiantang was doing, I only knew that when he finally came back, his childishness faded, and he only had a murderous atmosphere, and there were a lot of scars on his body, but at the same time, he was already the deputy governor of Yipin, and officially entered the military department from the household department, and also served as a waiter in the criminal department. It became a rare dual duty for Dasheng.

Such continuous promotions will naturally cause redness, so there were countless impeachments for a while, but no matter how he was impeached, Xiao Xiantang still rose step by step and reached the high position of the king with a different surname.

"I have many servants, some of whom are strong and strong, and if you go, take them all with you." Mu Chonglan said.

Xiao Xiantang looked at her, a little puzzled: "You let me, take those people?" ”

"Hmm." Mu Chonglan nodded vigorously, and seeing that Xiao Xiantang was still puzzled, he bit his lip and continued: "They all signed a death contract, you can raise them as guards to protect you, if you lack grain and grass, I can also ask Qingzhou to send it to you, anyway, I planted those grains, and I have to feed them." ”
