When Zhang Shou was in Yuehua Tower, he had seen Concubine Yu, the emperor's favorite concubine who seemed to be full of sorrow. At that time, he felt that she was like a lotus flower emerging from clear water, naturally without any decoration, and a beauty that made him feel pity. Of course, what impressed him more was that Concubine Yu told him very frankly about her bizarre life story that she, Zhu Ying and Princess Yongping were born on the same day of the same month of the same year.
However, meeting someone in Yuehua Tower, with Chu Kuan accompanying him and Ge Yong also beside him, was completely different from going directly to Yu Fei's Yonghe Palace. You know, let alone the fact that he had no blood relationship with Yu Fei, even if he was Yu Fei's own son or nephew, it was impossible for him to walk around the harem so openly, right
But there was the jubilant... or rather, overjoyed Zhu Ying accompanying him, and another round-faced, amiable female official who chased after him also reiterated the Empress Dowager's instructions, so Zhang Shou had no choice but to believe it - what else could he do, go and ask for an audience with the Emperor for instructions
Although he had visited the six palaces in his previous life, the situation now was completely different. Back then, there were only tourists, but now there were a lot of palace servants.
Besides, except for a few palace maids over 23 years old who would stay in the palace, the rest would be released when they reached the age, and the Six Palace Bureau would be responsible for their marriage and dowry. This also meant that there were almost no old faces in the palace, and most of them were young and energetic. Even if not everyone was a beauty, they were certainly pleasing to the eye.
But there were too many people to please the eyes, which created a kind of burden. Because after Zhang Shou came out of Qingning Palace and entered the East Six Palaces, he saw three or four or even five or six palace servants at each palace gate, curiously looking at him, and looking at him openly! Zhu Ying, who was standing by, not only didn't care, but also said proudly: "Ah Shou, they are all looking at us!"
I know they are looking at us... The problem is, did the elderly round-faced female official from Qingning Palace who escorted us here just do nothing? Did she just let these palace maids watch openly
Zhang Shou complained in his heart, and then he heard a laugh from behind: "These girls rarely see a handsome man like Doctor Zhang, and they are paired with the eldest lady, a talented man and a beautiful woman, so they are a little presumptuous. But Doctor Zhang must be a person that all the concubines in the palace are very curious about. They can't come out to see him themselves, so they sent palace servants to check him out, which is understandable."
Zhang Shou almost turned around to see if the round-faced female official had a mischievous look on her face when she said this, but for such a small matter, he was too lazy to pursue it. As a result, the next moment, he only heard the other party laughing again.
"Originally, the Queen Mother was planning to order all the concubines to stay in the palace to avoid the situation where the palace people gathered around to watch Zhang Lang. But on second thought, she felt that it would be okay for people to have a look. It would be a good opportunity for people to see clearly whether the rumors that Dr. Zhang and the eldest lady are a perfect match are exaggerated."
Zhu Ying also chuckled immediately: "Ah Shou, did you hear that? They are all praising my good taste, saying that they have never seen a handsome man like you!"
Zhang Shou was so amused that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't expect that you were such a young lady who cared so much about what others said!
