Three hundred thirty-nine The King's Woman

Outside the main hall, the inner attendant Jia felt comfortable, and his face was naturally full of smiles, and he apologized to Li Yao one after another: "I'm sorry princess, the king is discussing important matters with Mr., and he really can't spare time." Please go to Wang'e Palace to settle down first!"

"Wang'e Palace?" Even though she was inexplicably disappointed, Li Yao was still full of curiosity about this palace name related to herself.

"Well," the chamberlain Jia nodded and smiled, "It's the Xuanning Palace where the queen has been living in the past, knowing that the princess is homesick for the first time, the king specially arranged for the princess to live here to relieve homesickness."

At such a young age, where did Li Yao think of a lot? A delicate face instantly filled with a sweet smile, bowed down and said, "In this way, there is Lord Lao Wangcheng, bother to arrange it."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The chamberlain Jia waved his hand: "Little gold."

As soon as he aroused the young chamberlain to bow forward, Li Yao looked at it coldly, this chamberlain surnamed Jin was tall and elegant, but there was a lingering smell on his body, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for himself: "It's a pity that such a person has become a eunuch!"

"Take the princess to Wang'e Palace, and you will stay there to serve in the future!"

"No!"

This question and answer do not hear any joy or loss, and some are just boundless numbness.

Stepping into the vermilion lacquer palace gate of Wang'e Palace, the smile on Li Yao's face suddenly condensed, and he couldn't smile anymore. She also thought that her aunt had died for nearly two years, and the palace where she lived would be a little deserted, but she never thought that it would be so deserted.

As soon as he stepped into the palace threshold, more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids in the head gate shrank and knelt down, and everyone's eyes showed seven points of panic and three points of curiosity. As the sprinkling and sweeping palace people of Wang'e Palace, they don't seem to have a bright future in this life, and they don't want to have a master today. Although he was kneeling, he still peeked at Li Yao and his party, and his eyes showed a slight excitement.

Li Yao looked around, Wang'e Palace is not big, but it is also full of pavilions, vast and high-rise, surrounded by palace walls on all sides, except for the main gate, the rest of the corner doors are blocked with green bricks. There are all kinds of rockery ponds and marshes in the park, although the pond is dry and the spring is dry, barren and sparse, but you can still vaguely see the appearance of the peak of the year.

"Who's in charge here?" Li Yao asked softly.

The chamberlain surnamed Jin, who brought her, stepped forward and knelt down, and replied, "Hui Niangniang, slave Jin Er, Wang Cheng ordered the lord to temporarily act in charge of Wang'e Palace. If there is a suitable candidate in the future, I will change it."

"Mother? You call me a mother?" From the princess to the mother, Li Yao is very uncomfortable.

"yes." Jin Er was a little unclear: "Because the king has never been married, all the harem maids have no rank, and they are temporarily called Niangniang. What do you command?"

Li Yao came back to her senses: "Where is my aunt's residence? I want to see it."

"In the backyard, if the mother wants to go, the slave will lead the way."

Walking forward from Yongxiang, I entered the backyard, and I saw a desolation and desolation. In the courtyard no one cleaned the dead branches and leaves, a thick layer was covered, in the cracks of the bluestone slabs, a few bushes of withered yellow weeds were blown by the wind, a hare was foraging, saw someone come in, startled, and fled.

The door of the main house was ajar, and it had not been ventilated for about a long time, and a smell of mold and rot was blowing in the face, and it could not be dispersed. Li Yao was about to raise her feet, but she heard a burst of conversation in the house, her voice was a little rough, and she couldn't tell whether it was a maid or a palace maid, in short, there was a sense of vicissitudes.

"The king is also so ruthless, how can a delicate woman who has just reached the end of her life be willing to let her live in such a ghost palace?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Another voice said viciously, "How can you let people hear?"

"Everyone is ahead of them, who will come here? Who in the palace didn't know that when there was a rat Gu in the palace back then, the palace people inside and outside the Xuanning Palace, together with Empress E herself, died cleanly, and the corpses were all buried in the big pit next to the house. On weekdays, it is daytime, and who doesn't walk around the entire palace? Who would dare to live in the queen's dormitory?"

The red sun, which had been hidden behind the heavy clouds before, suddenly revealed a brilliant skylight, shining all over the world. Li Yao seemed to be dizzy from such sunlight, but Jin Er's voice sounded in her ears:

"Niang Niang forgives her sins, this Wang'e Palace is wasted

For a long time, I just said that it would be repaired, but there were not many materials in the palace treasury, so I had to wait for the servants to clean it by ourselves. The minions waited for several days without sleep, and this is what they are now. The minions really don't know where these two killers are still in the backyard! Xu Yes------- Xu Yes is the work is not finished yet. The minions will let them come out, and they will be punished by the mother!"

"No need!" Li Yao stretched out her slender and pale fingers: "I'm tired, I'm going to rest!"

Jin Er was overjoyed: "Niangniang's dormitory has been settled, in the left side courtyard, it was originally where Yiji Niangniang lived-------" He suddenly realized that he was talking too much, and quickly stopped.

"Lead the way!" Li Yao didn't have the strength to care about anything anymore.

She deliberately slowed down her pace and distanced herself from Jin Er, who was leading the way in front of her, before she whispered to the personal maid who had been supporting her, "Mao Ji, we may have been mistaken. My aunt's days in the palace of King Zhou were not as wishful as they were in the country of Hubei."

Mao Ji sighed: "After entering the palace and becoming a woman of the King of Zhou, where is there anything perfect? Princess, if you come, you will be safe, and what is the point of thinking about what happened before?"

"Why doesn't it make sense?" Li Yao's voice became fierce: "Who did my aunt offend back then? What has she done? Now the resentment against her will be concentrated on me. I have to figure out what happened back then, and I have to figure out everything one by one, otherwise, in this deep palace, I will be blind. Do you understand?"

Mao Ji's eyes widened, and it took a while before she realized, "The princess is really smart, and the slave will definitely try her best to find out." No matter how bad it is, you can also try to get out of the palace to contact the Zhou Mansion, after all, you are the granddaughter of the Zhou Mansion, princess!"

"That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" Li Yao remembered, and her heavy heart suddenly lightened a little: "Anyway, in this Hojing, I'm not alone."

"Master, is this about to leave?" In Rongyi's mansion, Chongli, who rushed to see him off under the cover of night, looked at a few cages under the kang and was stunned.

"I will set off at dawn and go to Linzi, the capital of Qi." Rong Yi shook the hem of his clothes, sat idly on the kang, lifted the clay pot, and poured a cup of hot tea for his lover: "This time, the country of Hubei has been destroyed, and the action of summoning the male tiger has been slow, and its reputation has been hit. At this time, I should show his skills and make an immortal contribution, so that I can take his place in the future and lay the foundation for the court to enter the body."

Chongli smiled faintly: "If you don't want to summon such a square person, you will also be messed up because of Madame's last words. Vacillating between Ying's son and Fanzhen, so that the opportunity is lost."

"If children are long, they must be heroic and short-breathed, and you and I should take this as a warning." Rong Yi said indifferently.
