Concubine Qing remained silent, and after a long time she revealed a smile with unknown meaning: "It seems that my cousin treats that beauty Wu differently, it would be a good idea to go and have a look."
Hongzhu perked up: "That slave..."
The smile on Concubine Qing's face gradually deepened: "I will see you when you say hello, there is no need to be deliberate."
She stood up, glanced at Hongzhu, and said something that was impossible to say: "I heard that there is a sister in the Chen family who is smart and quick-thinking. I have seen her before. Now she has become a talented person in the palace. It's great."
Hongzhu quickly lowered his head, only to feel that his mother-in-law's eyes were cold and sharp.
Tingliyuan.
Lihua and Zhichun stood in front of the courtyard gate.
At a glance, I saw that the courtyard gate was covered with mottled and withered traces. There was a stone standing in front of the courtyard gate, covered with moss and weeds, and the word "Tingli Yuan" could be vaguely seen.
Before entering, the first signs of dilapidation were already visible.
Zhichun was taken aback, stared and asked the eunuch who was leading the way: "Father, are we going the wrong way?"
The guiding eunuch took the lead, and the group continued walking inside.
It's really annoying.
She had already begun to think about how to attack the emperor again, whether she should start with the Queen Mother first.
Lihua looked particularly at those trees as she passed by.
Zhichun screamed: "Father, how could..."
Alas, she was so ignorant that she offended people from the inside out.
Before she finished speaking, Lihua stretched out her hand to hold her, smiled and said to the eunuch who led the way: "Thank you, father-in-law, for leading the way. I appreciate spring."
"That's exactly where it is." The eunuch who led the way said affirmatively. He turned to look at Lihua with some sympathy and made an invitation gesture: "Wu Meiren, please come inside." Go in first and lead the way.
Unexpectedly, this beauty is easy to talk to, there is no trace of dissatisfaction on her face, and she also smiles beautifully.
However, Lihua thought about it. The original owner's entry into the palace had nothing to do with his performance, it was entirely because of Master Wu's relationship.
She recognized that most of those trees were pear trees that could bear fruit and bloom. They had both ornamental and practical value, but they were neglected and showed a messy and dilapidated scene.
So she reminded Lihua specifically: "Mr. Wu, there is also a Jieyu living in the east side hall of Tingliyuan. Maybe this place is far away from other halls, and the empress in the palace rarely interacts with her."
Lihua thought wildly, and while she felt complicated, she felt more at ease and hid a little anger. Fortunately, she risked herself in the library thinking she was saving him. It was all a joke, haha.
It is a subtle expression that the beauty is not easy to get along with.
Looking next to the main hall, there are two side halls on each side. The roof of one of the wing houses next to one of the side halls has collapsed in half. It is like an open-top luxury car. The people living inside can't even use a knife when it rains, hails, or even knives.
miss.
Lihua vaguely guessed that the name of this courtyard was Tingliyuan. Ting, Tingying, means the appearance of clear water. Perhaps the fruits of this pear tree are sweet and delicious.
She knew that when she met this monster, something bad would happen!
When Lihua received the decree, she noticed something was wrong. The eunuch had a strange look on his face when he announced the decree, and his tone changed slightly when he read "Tingliyuan".
Let's go back to Lihua. After the eunuch who led the way left, a palace maid came out of the east side palace, with her nostrils pointing up to the sky, carrying a basin of foot-washing water, and came all the way to pour it on her.
When you get closer and take a closer look, you can see that under the corridor of the main hall, the eaves are covered with traces of dust and decay, as if no one has lived there for a long time.
Lihua came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look up. Sure enough, the monster was very kind to her. The side hall with the convertible wing was her future residence, tsk tsk.
Now, the guiding eunuch: Alas, this beauty is useless in this place where birds don’t poop.
There was also the look of Uncle Zeng who was hesitant to speak. When he was moving things for her, he turned his back and couldn't help sighing.
Weeds grew directly on the side roads on both sides. It was obvious that no one walked around on weekdays, except for the main road in the middle.
She can live in such a spacious place. You can tell with your toes whose handiwork it was.
Zhichun's heart felt cold. Just as she was about to say something, Lihua stopped her and thanked her: "Thank you, father-in-law."
Why is the front door so dilapidated? It is completely different from the palaces I passed along the way.
Along the way, Lihua felt mixed emotions. Tingliyuan was located in a no-care area on the edge of the harem and the imperial garden, and no high-ranking master had lived there for a long time. Naturally, no one paid attention to it, and over time, it became like this.
Then there was a palace maid and two eunuchs assigned to her, who followed behind her as depressed as her dead mother, as if they had been drained of energy, lazily.
The eunuch who led the way left with a smile on his face. After returning, several eunuchs who had led the way for another beauty came back to complain. Beauty Wu was so arrogant and had done so many things for her, as if it was a matter of course.
, each person received a few coins as a reward, I have never seen anyone so generous.
There is only one sentence that can describe the entire courtyard: it is so empty that it is so barren that people cannot make a living.
Entering the gate of Tingli Courtyard, there is a main road in the middle that winds to the center of the courtyard. The flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road are in disorder, as if they have not been pruned for a long time.
Lihua's eyes flashed slightly, and she chatted with the eunuch who was leading the way for a few words, and then she learned that Jieyu's surname was Lu in the East Side Hall. It turned out that she didn't live here, but she was sent here because she bumped into the emperor and was demoted two levels in a row.
The eunuch who was leading the way was stunned. He originally wanted to lead the way for another troublesome and hot beauty, but he arrived late and had no choice but to lead this beauty.
She offended the evildoer so harshly and received this small punishment. It was considered light, and it should be the credit of Mr. Wu.
"Wu Meiren, here we are." The eunuch who led the way stopped and gestured to the side hall in front of him.
Looking up at the center of the courtyard, a main palace is located in it. From a distance, it looks more majestic than ordinary palaces.
When he received the reward, the eunuch who led the way secretly shook his head, and his heart became a little warmer. This beauty is so generous, and his smile was sincere.
He thought he would return empty-handed this time. After all, this beauty was treated so miserably when she first entered the palace. She would not be in a good mood. He did not expect to receive any reward.
The eunuch who led the way was happy, thinking that Wu Meiren was generous and would be able to handle her errands in the future.
Who else could it be but that monster!
I chose a "good place" for her, which was really well-intentioned~
Lihua thinks that the monster is very strange. Since she doesn't want to see her, she might as well not choose her to enter the palace so as not to be an eyesore.
It is quite ironic that the status of a beauty combined with the treatment of being sent to the frontier is quite ironic. Everyone in Ming Dynasty knew that she was useless to the emperor.
Right now, Lihua just prays that the evildoer has been punished, and that the past things are in the past and will not be pursued in the future, so that she can make a comeback.
Lihua knew the news and rewarded her again.
But he didn't want to go to all the trouble to leave himself in this corner to become moldy.
The more Zhichun looked, the colder his heart became. When he walked inside, his heart felt completely cold.
The palace maid then took the footbath, bowed in a posture that was almost invisible to the naked eye, and looked at Lihua with her nostrils raised to the sky: "Wu Meiren, right? Since you are here, why don't you go and pay homage to my wife!"
Except for the side hall of the main hall, the rest of the courtyard is very spacious, surrounded by overgrown weeds and sparsely planted trees, some dead, some growing wildly, and some bearing malnourished fruits.
In view of this beauty's generosity, the guiding eunuch came over to help her.
One day, the eunuch who led the way came over to do some work. He saw a group of people entering Tingli Courtyard from a distance. He wiped his eyes and asked the people next to him: Is that, is that Long Live Lord?
The person next to me also wiped my eyes: It seems, it seems...
Before the two of them could figure it out, a man came out of Tingli Courtyard and threatened with an expressionless expression: Anyone who dares to reveal the whereabouts of the Long Live Lord will be thrown to the dogs!
