But She’s So Charming

At noon the next day, the palace came to pick up people.

Tang Wu glanced at the plaque behind him, thoughts full of thoughts. In fact, she didn't know whether she walked out of the nightmare or walked into the nightmare.

This afternoon's weather was as hot as entering the sky, and the sun was shining with dazzling light, as if it were about to fall on people.

The carriage buckled up and down, Tang Wu's smooth forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.

The red bonnet two-wheeled carriage in front and back drove slowly toward Zhongzheng Street at the same time, and finally stopped in front of a huge mansion.

Tang Wu and Lian Shiyin were invited to get out of the car at the same time. When they raised their heads, they suddenly understood why Gu Jiuniang often said that Tianhuang is noble and far away.

The plaque of the Royal Palace of Ying was hung high, showing the dignity and dignity of the Royal Palace everywhere. Everything here made them hesitate and discouraged.

After a while, General Manager Cao of the palace came out to greet him. He quickly led the two girls to the small door, and then smiled and said: "The two little ladies have worked hard. Now you only need to follow the old rules to get over the brazier, even if you are in the house. ."

Tang Wu and Lian Shiyin were ready. As soon as Mr. Cao finished speaking, the two nodded in return. They lifted the skirts as they did to take care of Jiuniangjiao, and stepped over.

Manager Cao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, Chief Cao led them to a small independent courtyard covered with green glazed tiles, and then stopped and said, "This is Xitongyuan, where the two ladies will live in the future. If there is anything you don't understand. Yes, ask Mother Wang and Mother Li behind me."

Tang Wu and Lian Shiyin nodded slightly in the direction of the two mothers to show their greetings.

They knew very well that these two mothers weren't ordinary housekeepers, but the teachers and mothers who were specially hired to educate them.

Seeing that the two were generous and decent, General Cao exhorted a few more words, "Our princess was ordered by the emperor to go to Jingyin Temple to pray for blessings and has not yet returned. The man who is now presiding over the gift is the concubine Chu. Before the princess came back, the two Madam arrives on the first day of each month, and she can go to Anshantang to get the monthly rule."

After General Cao left, the two mothers carefully explained the rules of the palace.

For example: Sui'antang next to Qinxin Lake can't be visited, and the study next to Xitongyuan can't be visited.

The rules of Grandma Wang and Grandma Li that had been spitting wildly, almost came to Xu, but it was not over yet, Lian Shiyin had to deliberately beat a few breaths before reluctantly forcing people away.

In fact, in that flower alley, they have actually seen all kinds of women. Just say that the two mothers who deliberately raised their faces just now, if you compare them with the princes of Jun Mengyuan, that would be a little bit of a witch.

However, it is the palace in the end, and it is not their turn to make a mistake.

As soon as the two mothers left, even Shiyin leaned her body on the door frame, raised her eyebrows at Tang Wu and smiled: "Sister Wu, I really didn't expect that I still have such a deep bond with you."

Tang Wu looked down to tidy up the mattress, and replied: "If even the sister is unwilling, you can go back to the official surnamed Wu." Tang Wu didn't want to admit it until she left. She would be the most annoyed with her in the future. To serve the same person.

Lian Shiyin was in a good mood, so naturally she wouldn't take Tang Wu's cold words seriously. She walked forward, touched Tang Wu's shoulder, and continued: "The two women just now said they couldn't go. I can’t go there either, then you say, where are we going to find the palace?"

Tang Wu avoided her touch and replied: "Mother said that those places cannot be visited, so there is a reason why they cannot go."

"It's all here. Our two sisters need a heart. It's hard for you to want to stay in Xitongyuan until you grow old!"

Tang Wu stopped the movement in his hand and looked up at her: "What on earth are you trying to say?"

Lian Shiyin sat next to Tang Wu, gave her a "hush" gesture, and whispered: "You haven't noticed yet, there are women in the Royal Palace of Ying, but there are none of them. If I say I do. How can we be pregnant with Your Highness's child, can you do it?"

Tang Wu's beautiful eyes widened, and she said in amazement, "This is Prince Ying's Mansion, are you going to die?"

Yu Niang, the second master of Jun Mengyuan, is proficient in pharmacology, and she used to teach them medicine and distinguish medicine.

Yu Niang asked them to learn pharmacology for two purposes. One was to prevent them from eating unclean food, and the other was to successfully compete for favor.

But before they came, Gu Jiuniang had clearly reminded them... that Prince Ying's Mansion was no better than anywhere else, and it was better to put away some thoughts that shouldn't be there.

This Lian Shi Yin couldn't sit still so quickly.

"Sister Wu, you have to know, beg for wealth and danger." Lian Shiyin's voice gradually rose, and the tone of her tone couldn't help but be intimidated.

Tang Wu held her breath. She really didn't want to ride in the same boat as Lian Shiyin, so she simply said neatly: "Even my sister looks at me too high, I can't enjoy such wealth." After all, Tang Wu didn't believe it at all. What she said, asked for three words in the danger, isn't the word "risk" that is the most conspicuous?

Even Shiyin saw Tang Wu's determination and knew that it would be useless to say more, so he snorted twice and left without any success.

Since doing this, Tang Wu found that even Shiyin had been standing at the door for three days in a row. Everyone knew who she was looking forward to.

At the beginning, no one dared to say anything, but after a long time, people saw that the master of Xitongyuan could not be favored, and those gossips came out.

Even those maids who looked at them changed their gazes from inquisition to contempt.

Even if there is nowhere to vent the sound of the poetry, she often repeats those ugly foul language to Tang Wu, but Tang Wu deaf ears every time and doesn't say a word.

Five days passed in a hurry. Early that morning, the birds outside the window made a few sporadic calls. Tang Wu was being treated perfunctorily by the little maid, and Madam Li came.

"Why did Mammy come so early?" Tang Wu stood up and said.

"The concubine side heard that you had entered the mansion yesterday, so today she added two more sets of dishes and chopsticks in Anshan Hall, and she wants to have a meal with you." Mother Li said.

Tang Wu and Lian Shiyin glanced at each other, what did they mean? Even if they didn't open their mouths, they were still clear in their hearts.

They all knew why the aloof side concubine would ask them to eat.

It's nothing more than hearing about their status and can't sit still.

It's strange to say that in this relationship between men and women, there has always been no distinction between high and low.

Most of the backyards of the rich and powerful in the capital are also the same. The gentle and virtuous mistress is busy with housework, and the concubine with various styles is busy enchanting the king's heart.

But... such a peaceful day of performing their duties has never been too long.

—

Chu's concubine's dowry maid, Xu Er, introduced Tang Wu and Lian Shiyin to Dong Ci.

A floor-to-ceiling Dongyang wood-carved screen is placed on the south side of the house. The front of the screen is carved with green pine and the back is carved with koi, which is very powerful.

In the middle of the room is a dark brown mahogany table with eight immortals, and a lot of good dishes are placed on the table. The meat and vegetables are properly matched, and the placement is also very particular. Tang Wu thought to herself that the furnishings in a mere time are so clumsy and elegant, and this Chu side concubine should also have a lot of background.

At this moment, the curtain of Dong Ci was raised, and Concubine Chu walked to the inner room unhurriedly. She is slender, with willow leaves curving eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and if her eyes are slightly inferior, she is also a big beauty.

Consort Chu knew that her appearance was not as good as these Hu Meizi, so she had already prepared her heart, but she didn't expect that Hu Meizi could really bear the folk oiran.

The expression that had been light and breezy, still could not hold back a few cracks.

In order to show that the identity was different, Concubine Chu took the lead to take the seat. She hooked her thin white fingers and motioned Xu Er to come over. Xu'er held the water and picked up the prepared jasmine soap. Slowly smear it on the palm of Concubine Chu's hand. When the dots of foam were completely dissolved in the water, Concubine Chu slowly raised her head and said, "Why don't the two younger sisters sit down?"

"The side concubine hasn't spoken yet, how dare to sit down?" Lian Shiyin said first.

Concubine Chu smiled and wiped her hands with her kerchief, and then said to the two people: "It seems that Mother Li is too strict. In fact, our palace does not have so many rules."

Tang Wu's eyes darkened, but she understood the meaning of Concubine Chu's words. This seems to be fighting injustices for them, but in fact I want to say that they are all studying these rules in the palace.

Tang Wu knew that this was not the time to speak quickly, so she took a step back, and obediently bowed to her. It wasn't until the concubine Chu side felt bored that she really allowed her to sit down, and she slowly got up.

"Yesterday, I heard Grandma Li talk about the life experience of the two younger sisters, and I felt very uncomfortable. At that time, I was thinking, if someone else had something like this, I'm afraid I would not think about it and hit him to death... so I saw it today. Shui Lingling’s two younger sisters, I really feel sorry for them.” As she said, Concubine Chu also patted her heart lightly.

This is a Hongmen banquet, Tang Wu knows very well. But she didn't expect that Concubine Chu would speak so straightforwardly.

At this moment, Tang Wu felt her conscience and asked herself that she was indeed lost. If she had a choice of birth, she would neither choose to be born in that kind of family nor be sold to Hua Alley...

Tang Wu took a deep breath, calming down the bitterness in her heart, and said in a low voice: "The mother in the concubine's yard often said that reincarnation also depends on the ability and fate. Xu is born without a concubine. This kind of blessing, so with this kind of experience, I can't blame others, and my concubine confessed my fate early."

What I said here is not leaking, so I can't make any mistakes. Even Tang Wu had already said everything that Concubine Chu would like to say next.

Tang Wu’s reaction made Concubine Chu’s side unexpected, so Concubine Chu had to pretend to be three points of grief and continue: "Look at me, I always mention these things and do what you do." For some **** bird porridge, I have prepared a lot in the kitchen."
