Xiao Ting wanted to avoid it, but now she couldn't, so she had to pretend to be obedient, and respectfully greeted the empress dowager.
"Get up, the banquet is about to start, if you don't sit there and wait, where are you going?"
The Empress Dowager's voice still had no warmth.
Xiao Ting cursed in her heart, old hag, it's none of your business.
But he replied, "Return to the Empress Dowager, Ting'er went to see how the Empress Dowager is preparing."
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, and with a superior attitude, pointed out: "Then go, Concubine Xiao Guifei is not in a good mood recently, so you can tell her to be careful not to make jokes later."
Xiao Ting obediently said yes.
She knew that the imperial concubine and aunt were shocked by the sudden appearance of Taozhi's body in the heart lake, and now the emperor's birthday, and her annual dance, she must go no matter what.
The empress dowager was worried that she would make a fool of herself and damage the face of the royal family.
Xiao Ting secretly said: As for the role of mother-in-law, the only thing she cares about is her son, whether it is face or body. As for the daughter-in-law, hehe, as long as her son is healthy, it doesn't matter if this one is exhausted and falls to death.
Xiao Ting lowered her brows and was about to leave, when suddenly the Princess Zhuyue made a voice and asked crisply: "Grandmother, Zhuyue hasn't been to the imperial capital for a long time, who is this younger sister?"
The Empress Dowager patted the hand of the Princess Zhuyue with a smile, and said: "Her name is Xiao Ting, and she is the concubine of your Ninth Prince Uncle Xinna."
new
Also, Na
Isn't he meow married
Xiao Ting said that the old woman really didn't like her, how did she hurt her
However, the Mistress of the Moon Princess had a surprised expression, and it took her a long time to speak, and said: "So she is the sixth girl of Xiao Guo's uncle's family who is famous in the empire, Xiao Ting!"
Her eyes turned slightly, with disdain.
Xiao Ting said, is her reputation so famous? Rename the empire
Why aren't they all over the five countries and ten places
"By the way, Grandmother, doesn't Uncle Jiu Wang have a concubine?"
The Empress Dowager explained patiently, "Your Aunt Nine Kings is a fate, she passed away four years ago."
After she finished speaking, she introduced Princess Yuyue to Xiao Ting, "This is Princess Zhuyue of Prince Rui's residence."
The corner of Xiao Ting's mouth twitched, and she took a few deep breaths before smiling at Moyue, as if she had seen her before.
I will endure.
But the empress dowager was dissatisfied, her face sank and she said, "What kind of expression is this, you have no rules?"
The queen has always been displeased with Xiao Ting, but with the queen dowager in front, there is no place for her to speak.
Seeing this, he added fire to the side, saying: "Mother, the Ninth Concubine has always been like this, so don't be as knowledgeable as her."
"That's right, Grandmother, Miss Six is lively by nature, so she must know very little about our royal rules, and besides, she is not from a scholarly family, so don't ask too much, why bother getting angry with her!"
Princess Yuyue and the Empress said something to each other, even if Xiao Ting was straight-minded, she had come to a bad conclusion right now.
One said that she had always been unruly, and the other called her Miss Six, which did not recognize her as the Ninth Princess at all, let alone calling her Aunt Nine.
She blinked at the two women, winked at her, and kept nagging.
Xiao Ting accepted them all.
I can't bear it any longer.
Unfortunately, people are not finished yet.
So, she suddenly rolled her eyes, looked behind them, and said, "Your Majesty."
The girls turned their heads subconsciously, but saw that there was nothing behind them, only the quiet road when the wind lantern came.
When he turned his head again, there was only the maid who had been kneeling there for a long time, leading the way for Xiao Ting.
Where is there Xiao Ting's figure.
At this time, Xiao Ting, who had already turned around before them, dodged to another road. These women are really annoying. It seems that it is better to come to the palace less often in the future.
And that ghost princess is also against her.
She can't afford to mess with it, and she can't hide from it.
It seems that there is no enmity between them, right
Could it be that the original owner once beat her
Xiao Ting thought as she walked, but she couldn't think of a reason. There was no way, because she only inherited part of the original owner's memory.
She shook her head, and suddenly realized that there was darkness in front of her eyes, blocking her way.
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded, what is this place
The dilapidated palace, the collapsed palace gates and the darkness, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit intrusive.
She looked at the way she looked, since she avoided the empress dowager and the others, she didn't seem to meet anyone again.
So, is this a cold palace or a forbidden palace
Walking forward, under the light of the moon, one can still get a glimpse of the palace. The palace must have been dilapidated for more than ten years. Weeds are growing wildly everywhere, and there are two hares jumping around, very lively.
Xiao Ting was speechless, this is the palace!
How could such a scene appear in the most noble place in the imperial capital of the empire.
But going in along the way, she didn't find any landmarks, didn't figure out what the place was, and didn't meet anyone, so Xiao Ting was going to return along the original road.
Unexpectedly, just as she was about to turn around, she felt her feet were entangled by something.
He lowered his head and looked through the weeds. He meowed, there was a person under his feet.
It was she who stepped on someone's long hair, and the movement of turning around actually tangled with the weeds next to her, entangled her ankle.
Xiao Ting knelt down and pushed the man, but there was no response.
"Could it be a dead man?"
She turned the man over, only to find that it was still a young woman.
His eyes were closed, he seemed to be in a deep sleep, his nose was still breathing weakly, his arms and legs were intact, it was just that the night clothes were too eye-catching.
She was still holding a parchment tightly in her hand, just as Xiao Ting was about to take it over to have a look, the young woman suddenly opened her eyes, and a cold light radiated all over her eyes.
Even Xiao Ting, who had seen countless ghosts, was still taken aback.
"I'm sorry, you scared this girl to death."
The weeds can be more than three feet high, Xiao Ting tripped and fell to the ground as soon as she retreated.
The young woman is about eighteen or nineteen years old, with long hair and high bundles, and sharp eyes with murderous intent.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
Xiao Ting hadn't reacted yet, a cold sword with shimmering light was placed across her neck, the icy cold feeling gave her goose bumps all over her body.
"I said beauty, what are you doing? This is the palace!"
Xiao Ting felt that the woman in front of her was very kind, and although she was indifferent, she looked confused, could it be
So she had an idea and asked, "Are you also a time traveler?"
The young woman looked at her condescendingly without saying a word.
Xiao Ting was just like her, she didn't care about the cold sword on her neck at the moment, she got up from the side of the sword that looked cold just now, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you, I am too. By the way, I came from the earth. Where did you come from?"
"We shouldn't be fellow villagers! And I'm Chinese, how about you?"
"By the way, you probably don't understand this world yet. Let me tell you, this is a feudal dynasty, and there are creatures like the emperor. Moreover, there are several dominatrixes in this palace. Not to mention, people will kneel down to worship them every now and then. If you are not careful, you will beheaded. It is very dangerous..."
"Hmph." Xiao Ting's long speech was interrupted before she finished her speech. The woman snorted coldly and said, "Is it enough to pretend to be crazy?"
"Eh." Xiao Ting was speechless, and looked at her suspiciously for a while before realizing, "You are not a time traveler, so who are you?"
"Oh, it's over, it's over, now it's revealed."
Why is she so stupid, she confessed her bottom when she met someone, proving once again that this world is very dangerous.
The world said: I will not take the blame for this, it is obvious that you are stupid.
Xiao Ting was still muttering in her heart, when she heard a plop behind her, she looked like a peerless master just now, but now she fainted again.
Xiao Ting was dumbfounded, what is the situation
"Could it be that God wants me to kill people?" Xiao Ting looked up at the sky, and the crescent moon in the sky was uncertain, "How is this possible? This girl never kills, okay?"
So, a certain woman who fell into the idiot channel again squatted down and pushed the woman again. Seeing that she was really unresponsive, she finally gritted her teeth and carried her on her back.
To Xiao Ting's surprise, she didn't know how long she had walked, but she came to the outside of Yaochi Palace. The maid guarding outside the palace gate saw her and hurried over to greet her.
"Ninth Concubine, the imperial concubine has gone to Xinhu Lake for a banquet."
The palace maid glanced at the woman dragged by Xiao Ting again, "Who is she? Do you want help from your servant?"
Xiao Ting nodded again and again, talking nonsense, and said: "This is my concubine's maid, she was unwell and fainted, please help her in quickly."
"Yes, Ninth Princess."
The maid immediately called someone over, carried the woman in and placed her in the side courtyard.
"My concubine remembers that my aunt has a nanny here who knows the art of Qihuang, so I quickly invited her here." Xiao Ting has been to Yaochi Palace a few times, and she is very familiar with the maids here, and she speaks very casually.
Ever since Concubine Xiao Gui was poisoned, the emperor sent a palace maid over to serve her closely, just because she was afraid that someone would harm Concubine Xiao Gui again.
This honor is the only one in the entire imperial harem.
Although this nanny was sent by the empress, she was very kind to Concubine Xiao Gui, so she was very kind when she saw Xiao Ting.
"Nurse, please help me find out how my maid is doing?"
Xiao Ting murmured in her heart, she is out of her mind, will this person die
If she will die, she should throw it out now, so don't make trouble for aunt.
Nanny smiled and told Xiao Ting that she was fine, she just fainted, and she would wake up after an hour's rest.
Only then did Xiao Ting feel relieved, seeing Mammy staring at the parchment in the woman's hand, Xiao Ting walked over and pulled it out of the woman's hand, stuffing it into her sleeve pocket.
Mammy was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
"Ninth Concubine, go to the Holy Majesty's birthday banquet first, your maids and servants will watch over you."
"Oh, it's too bad, this concubine has to go there quickly, thank you!" Xiao Ting remembered her purpose of entering the palace, and hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and ran out.
The court lady who spoke to her just reminded repeatedly, "Ninth Princess, you are going in the wrong direction."
Xiao Ting paused, turned around, and said, "Huh? Could it be this side?"
Maid: So, how did you find Yaochi Palace just now
"The servant will take you there!"
"It's better to be brave, hurry up."
