Chapter Ninety-Nine: Luxury

"Zhengrongxuan." Tao Yaoyao looked at the plaque of this palace, and looked up at the hall and pavilion that was too walled, and it was really worth these three words.

She took a group of people into the garden, although the garden is ownerless, but a green and moist atmosphere is born in a gloomy atmosphere, the main entrance is three, all are barrel tiles loach ridges are also majestic, the doors and windows are carved empty jade. Further on, there is a row of vermilion powder walls, and the steps below are chiseled with lotus. After the bushes of bushes, a stamped rockery comes into view, this rockery is as natural as a ghostly workmanship, Tao Yao Yao heard the sound of the water, turned around to see, it is a trickle of up and down meandering away, this piece actually contains how many doorways, it is a good hexagram.

"Niangniang, this Zhengrongxuan is the palace where Her Royal Highness the princess is still in the pavilion, Her Royal Highness is loved by the emperor, and Xu Zhengrongxuan is not inferior to Fengqi Palace." Biyun whispered.

Fengqi Palace, isn't that the queen's residence?

"What about Xuande Palace?" Tao Yaoyao has seen the most bright and exquisite place in addition to the residence of Qing Yezhuo, which is this Xuande Palace.

"It's not the same thing." Biyun taps.

Tao Yaoyao only walked forward, and didn't ask again, it seems that this Qing Yueying is indeed very favored, if it weren't for that, at that time, she chased Ximo An Yanglie, and she added it so satisfactorily, and it was difficult to have free love in ancient times?

It's just that this ancient woman can really fall in love freely? Tao Yaoyao shook her head, looking intently at the scenery in this hall.

"How did you get this pool?" Tao Yaoyao asked, standing by the pool in the center of the three halls.

This pool is horizontally and vertically open, it is estimated that it is the size of a basketball court, the pool is very deep, but it is empty and there is nothing, not even a leaf can be seen.

"Niangniang, this was originally a lotus pond, and after His Royal Highness left the pavilion, those eastern lotuses also moved, and this pond was deserted." A small palace maid in the back replied in a trembling voice.

"Deserted?" Tao Yaoyao is a little distracted, this yard is all clean, obviously someone is often taking care of it, why is there a pond deserted? However, marrying a person and bringing all the flowers is also luxurious enough, could it be that how many pots of water were carried by people at that time?

Tao Yaoyao was very speechless, and had a new understanding of the thoughts of this ancient person, but she didn't care too much, after all, she was a person who had received 5,000 years of luxury education in China, and no matter how luxurious this Qing Yueying was, she couldn't compare to Qin Shi Huang!

Thinking so, she continued on her way. After this pool, those scenery is even more verdant and separate, the white stone is mountainous, the moss on it is printed with spotted vines and roses, naturally those sheep intestine paths are indispensable, I don't feel that it is summer to go, the scorching sun above my head has long been covered clean, the ground is reflected with a little bit of starlight, and it is a long way in front of me, and the carving show column is hidden between the empty trees.

Tao Xiaoxiao calculated, it took a full hour to clean up this courtyard and the three halls, but Qing Yueying's bedroom was left without entering. And the two stone beasts in front of it, the beast face is spitting, but there is no fierce elephant, it is not the female for the soft body, the stone is up, and it is the ninth order, which means that the cycle is not endless, and it is very exquisite.

"Niangniang, this is the bedroom of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Biyun and a group of people stood at the door of the most glorious palace in the middle.

Tao Yaoyao nodded, and the two little eunuchs then opened the door together, this door is a tall pear blossom tree, a person's strength root

Tao Yao entered the house, and then I realized that what I had just seen was only the obscure stars to the moon, and the lotus dew to the morning light.

Tao Yaoyao also felt that he was a little speculative, although there are not many furnishings in this room, but those finely carved shelves, empty carved master chairs, platform fairy tables, and tall bottle rods, which one is not a boutique. Compared with Taoyuanju here, Taoyuanju is also mostly an elegant rural village.

"Mother, how should I add it here?" Biyun looked at those things, a little stunned, this princess's taste is really not a little high.

"No need to add it, it's already empty." Tao Yaoyao said after turning around.

"Mother?" Biyun didn't understand, could it be that there was nothing on these shelves, just empty.

"Our princess is probably a fan of metaphysical gossip, these few pieces on this shelf alone, what they were in the original have not changed now, if this empty place is placed in the corners of the east and west, it will always be different from the original paint color. However, the fact that it is now intact means that nothing has been put on the table at all. What is your name, the original palace maid of Zheng Rongxuan? Tao Yaoyao changed her words and asked the palace maid who had just answered.

"The slave's name is Lianxiang, and she is the house-sweeping girl of Zhengrongxuan." The palace maid looked very timid, and her voice was not very loud.

"Is what Hongu said wrong?" Tao Yaoyao asked with squinted eyes.

"What the mother said is that the slave maid has only been to the main hall twice, and I don't remember the location of this shelf clearly, but I remember that it is empty, and there are no ornaments." Lianxiang said fifteen-ten.

"When the princess left, what about the original palace people?" Tao Yaoyao has been looking for a long time this time, and it is rare to see the people who served Qing Yueying before.

"The aunt and the big eunuch in charge of the house all went with the princess, and the slave maid was just a girl who swept the house, and even the princess was not fortunate enough to see it, so naturally she would not take it. The rest are all girls in raccoon clothes, everyone takes turns to serve, and it is not the turn of the slaves and maids to speak. Lianxiang said.

"Hmm. Lianxiang, this name is good, was it obtained by your father? Tao Yaoyao asked a little strangely, and even Biyun tilted his head to look at his master.

"Back to Niangniang's words, no matter how loud the girl laughs, it is all from the lotus character. Lianxiang has no father and no name, so the palace people are used to calling her. Lianxiang said, unable to see her sadness or emotion.

"Oh? So how do you get into the palace? "Tao Yaoyao seems to be very interested in her background.

"The aunt in charge of the house said that the slave maid was sold into the palace, but the slave maid was young and didn't remember anything." Lianxiang replied.

"Then how long have you been in the palace and how old are you now?" Tao Yaoyao continued to ask, quite a bit of a posture of asking the end.

"The slave maid has been in this palace since she remembered, and it has been nineteen years, and there are three out of twenty this year." Lianxiang was also afraid that she felt that Tao Yaoyao asked too carefully, but the master had to answer honestly.

"Good! From today on, you are the new sister-in-law of this Zheng Rong Xuan, and the eighteen rough girls under the name of this Zheng Rong Xuan are all handed over to you for discipline, are you willing? Tao Yaoyao couldn't help but say, and sat down at random to find a spot, anyway, the chair was very clean.

"Mother...... mother?" Lianxiang doesn't seem to believe in her ears, she never thought that she would be able to manage people or anything one day, she just hoped that her life would be dull and not cause trouble, so she never chewed her tongue or ears.

"You heard me right, you just need to answer Hongu, would you?" Tao Yao smiled, this girl is very interesting. On the surface, he seems to be diligent and honest, but in fact, he is exquisite, he will not talk or listen nonsense, and the three philosophies of the world must be accounted for.

"Slave Xie Niangniang." Lian Xiang didn't know whether she was excited or worried, her face was slightly red, and she knelt down heavily.

"Since you respond, you have to do a good job, although there are not many people in charge, but this is Zhengrongxuan, there must be no mistakes, how much power is and how much responsibility is great, if something goes wrong, it is yours, even if you want your head, it is not something that this palace can stop. Do you understand? Tao Yaoyao looked at the girl and said solemnly.

"The slave understands, Xie Niangniang mentions." There seemed to be some light in Lianxiang's eyes.

That is, the two sentences of peach death, planted good fruits, and took root in Lianxiang's heart. This girl who has been wronged for more than 20 years, but she doesn't want to have such a master in this cold palace, to be able to mention life and death to such a humble subordinate, this is like a hot spring pouring her cold heart.

"Niangniang, Concubine Rou's palace people came and said that they had something important to find Niangniang." Biyun listened to what the girl on the side said, and repeated into Taoyao's ear.

Although Tao Yaoyao walked away from Jiang Shaoqing, it was just to test it, and she really didn't look for her. It's hard that she didn't look for it, and the other party was in a hurry. Tao Yaoyao sneered in her heart, she was even more sure that there was something wrong with this. Since the other party wants to act, she will accompany her.

"Let her go to the side hall." Tao Yao commanded.

Biyun nodded and went down. Tao Yaoyao dismissed everyone and asked them to repair the flowers and plants in this garden better, and then went to the side hall, and the one waiting in the side hall was the palace maid thrush beside Jiang Shaoqing.

"The slave maid greets the peach concubine." Thrush greeted Momo, but she didn't see any awe.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with my sister?" Tao Yaoyao asked knowingly.

"My master remembered something and specially asked the slave to inform the mother." The thrush said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Oh?" Tao Yao raised her eyebrows.

"Concubine Tao, this month, Concubine Niangniang will return to the palace, Zhengrongxuan has everything, only one thing is missing, and this matter is the most important thing!" Thrush said.

"What? This palace sees that there are not any missing pieces in this palace, what else is not prepared? Tao Yaoyao pretended to be panicked.

The thrush looked at the expression of the peach and opened her mouth slowly: "Niangniang doesn't know, this month's concubine Niangniang likes lotus flowers the most, and this midsummer is when the lotus blooms." But the lotus pond has been dry for a long time, if Niangniang can use this kind of lotus, she should be able to win the favor of Concubine Niangniang, and let the emperor praise it. ”

"This palace saw that this palace was full of lotuses, and I guessed it, but it didn't take a few days, and it was difficult to have such a big pool!" Tao Xiaoxiao looked very embarrassed again.

"Niangniang don't worry, if my master is not sick, he will not be embarrassed for Niangniang, this lotus flower in East Lake has already been prepared by my master, it is the clear water of this pool, and Niangniang is needed." The thrush replied with a smile.

"That's great, my sister is really Bingxue smart, but I can't see me stupid. The water in this pool is not difficult, and the palace can still be filled. Tao Xiaoyao immediately became happy, and the expression on her face changed a lot.

"Niangniang thought thoughtfully, the thrush retreated first, Donglian is in the northwest lotus pond of the Imperial Garden, and Niangniang will let people move it when the time comes." After saying this, the thrush saluted and withdrew.

"Niangniang, this ......" After the others left, only Tao Yaoyao and Biyun were left in this side hall, Biyun stepped forward to ask this Jiang Shaoqing can be so kind?

"Naturally, you won't be kind enough to help me, there must be tricks in this!" Tao Yaoyao snorted coldly.

How can the empty pool be so simple, is it really deserted? She didn't believe it.

"What about ignorance?" Tao Yaoyao asked.

"In the past few days, the case has been handled in the Ministry of Officials, and it is said that it should be sorted out today." Biyun thought for a while and said.

"Let him come and see me at night!" Tao Xiaoyao stood up and patted the dress on her body.

"Yes." Biyun said.

Tao Yaoyao looked at this big garden, a storm was coming, but this time, she didn't want to be swept by the wind, but to go to the eye of the wind and disturb the original wind direction.

When Tao Yaoyao returned to Taoyuan Residence, the eunuch outside the door said that Qing Yezhuo had come, but he went back to the study after hearing Tao Yaoyao's absence.

When Tao Yao returned to the house, there was already a person standing in the room.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, is this official doing well?" Tao Yaoyao looked at the man and quipped.

"Master, it's good to be ignorant." It is rare for the ignorant to object to the words of the peach.

"Oh? What's wrong, is it because the official is small, or is the reward unsightly? "Tao Xiaoxiao didn't let go of this honest man.

"The subordinates are in this department, and there are very few people who have seen large and small Qing." Yao Wuming said with a frown.

"This is normal, when the water is clear, there are no fish, you have to understand this truth. Let's get down to business, how's it going, have you found it? Tao Yaoyao said with a smile, what is this ancient officialdom?! Look at the TV series, hehe, it's not a problem!

"Well, Qingyue Ying was loved by the first emperor, and once opened a lotus pond for his birthday overnight, and then the princess recognized An Yanglie of Nasimo, An Yanglie has not yet ascended the throne, and the princess will marry with words, and then when she leaves, the lotus flowers in that pool will be burned clean, and then no one dares to play with that pool anymore." Xiao Wuming said.

"Burned?" Amazing, this pool of water, is there a few barrels of gasoline poured into it!

"I don't know why, the princess didn't bring a piece of the palace when she left, and the first emperor rebuilt a batch of gold and jade pieces, it is said that the princess only asked the first emperor for a golden lotus, and the golden lotus is a treasure, but no one can see it." Yao Wuming continued.

"Wait, you say...... Golden Lotus?! Tao Yaoyao's eyes rolled, and Qing Yezhuo said that the Yin Jin and Yang Jade had been obtained by the Situ family, and now An Yanglie was in the hands, so she always thought that An Yanglie had obtained something from the Situ family. But after saying that she was ignorant, she remembered one thing, how could Qing Yezhuo know such a secret thing, after all, the opponent is also the king of a country that is evenly matched? And it seems that he knows a lot about this thing, and he has clearly seen it.

Unless—unless this thing is flowing out of Beigao at all!
