202. Entering the Eastern Palace: The Means of the Emperor’s Grandson
Six years ago, during the Jincheng disaster, Mu Jieyu sent Bai Wei to take in those orphans, buy the children who were trafficked under ten years old and train them, and send the rest away and settle them down. The training process arranged by Mu Jieyu lasted for at least three years.
Starting from the first year of Hong'an, the palace maids were selected every three years. She only asked Bai Wei to send a few people into the palace two years ago.
The age of the palace maids is between six and thirteen years old. To be on the safe side, Bai Wei will definitely choose an older girl who has already been determined to be sent to the palace. In addition, it is not difficult for Mu Jieyu to guess that the appearance of the first grade girl is there.
She was only fifteen or sixteen years old. After checking back and forth, the answer came out naturally: either fifteen or sixteen, so take a bold guess.
It was obvious that Mu Jieyu's guess was correct, so Xuanyuan Zhiluo's face instantly became even more ugly.
"When were you born?" Xuanyuan Zhiluo continued to ask without giving up.
Mu Jieyu still answered respectfully: "March 11th."
March 11th was the day of the Nanjiang disaster three years ago. The children taken in by Mu Jieyu all regarded that day as their birthday, because Mu Jieyu wanted them to always remember the suffering.
Xuanyuan Zhiluo's eyes became even colder: "When will you enter the palace?"
"My slave entered the palace two years ago." Mu Jieyu responded calmly.
"After two years in the palace, you can become His Highness Changsun's personal maid, which shows that you are a smart person." Xuanyuan Zhiluo praised him with an unclear meaning.
"My slave can tell some short stories, which won the favor of His Highness Changsun." Mu Jieyu answered again.
"Fourth brother is particularly concerned about this girl." Xuanyuan Zhichen sneered when he saw that Xuanyuan Zhiluo refused to give up.
Xuanyuan Zhiluo choked. After all, he wanted to ask for it first. If he pursues it now, it will naturally lead to misunderstandings. However, he was not slow to react and said to Xuanyuan Zhichen: "Second brother, don't be upset. My younger brother has no other intentions.
I just suddenly felt that this girl was a little suspicious."
"What's suspicious?" Xuanyuan Zhichen asked.
Xuanyuan Zhiluo did not speak, but said: "Second brother, please allow me to ask a few more questions."
Xuanyuan Zhichen frowned, but did not stop him. Instead, he said coldly to Xu Hui: "Go to the side hall to see if those old people have discussed and come up with a clue. How can His Highness Changsun be dragged away?
Go to the palace gate again and see if the princess has arrived?"
Xuanyuan Zhiluo naturally understood the implication of Xuanyuan Zhichen's words, so he smiled apologetically and said: "If the second brother allows the younger brother to be presumptuous again, the younger brother will ask three more questions." After saying that, he did not look at Xuanyuan Zhichen's face, but his eyes were as bright as a torch.
He looked at Mu Jieyu and asked, "Where have you been since you got up today?"
Xuanyuan Zhiluo's words set off alarm bells in Mu Jieyu's heart. He thought carefully before replying: "After I got up today, I went to the small garden to look at the flowers and plants planted by His Highness, Changsun."
In Xuanyuan Chengye's small garden, there were several pots of flowers that Mu Jieyu planted for him. Xuanyuan Chengye would go to see them for a long time every day. No one in the whole palace knew about this. She thought about how she had just followed Bai Ling on the first day of the new year.
I went to the back garden once, and if there was something on my body, it would be fair to say. No matter what she said, Xuanyuan Zhiluo would not be exposed even if he asked Xuanyuan Chengye.
"Will you stay with His Highness Changsun from now on?" Xuanyuan Zhiluo continued to ask with an expressionless face.
Xuanyuan Zhiluo's voice was neither high nor low, neither urgent nor slow, but it inexplicably made Mu Jieyu feel a little pressured. She wondered if there was some reason for Xuanyuan Zhiluo to see it?
But even though my mind was spinning with thoughts, I couldn't hesitate, so I gritted my teeth and said, "Yes."
Xuanyuan Zhiluo's eyes were like daggers, and he looked sharply at the embroidered shoes covered by Mu Jieyu's skirt: "Then why are there black and gray on the soles of your shoes?"
