Ji ruomin reported for five working days before reporting all the things that need to be handled in the inner palace and those that can't wait for her to come back.

Zhuo Xi has time to gossip with them.

I don't know. I'm shocked by gossip.

She didn't know she had missed so many gossip

It turned out that when she didn't know, Princess Jing Mo gave birth to a baby boy on the good day of the 16th of the first month after Princess Jing Qianchang. The princess's house held a running water banquet for three days, and the son-in-law handed over a fold to ask for the son of the world the next day. Unfortunately, the big seal was not opened, and he remained in the cabinet all the time.

During the whole half month of the new year, the Empress Dowager's Ci'an palace was crowded with people, either greeting or paying New Year's greetings. The final result was that the Empress Dowager gave twelve marriage vows on the 28th day of the first month, which led a red line for six couples -- two of the most important ones were for Princess Luo Yuan and Princess Yanling.

Zhuo Xi took a breath when she heard about it. How addicted is the matchmaker of the Empress Dowager? She has made six matchmakers in a row... Although the other four are the children of Uncle Wang's family, she is not very familiar with them... However, in the future, she will follow the footsteps of the Empress Dowager and start worrying about whether the marriage of this noble family will succeed?

Of course, the gossip she was most interested in was that a concubine in Zongzheng's family named Tao Zhi was jealous and noisy about whose room to rest on the 15th of the first month. In her anger, Zhengfang's wife castrated Tao Zhi; A Shuchang Jishi named Liang Zhiwen was caught by his wife while eating flower wine with his colleagues in the new year. He was dumped by his wife on the spot; A small official surnamed Peng ate wine at his colleague's house and drank too much. He casually said "send me this maid". He was impeached to the cabinet and said that he violated the monogamous marriage law and was dismissed for investigation

Chunnuan said excitedly, "there are nearly 50 new women in Xiyan Yangsheng hall and healthy mother and baby hall. Sister Ke can finally breathe a sigh of relief and don't have to go around."

Zhuo Xi said strangely, "how can you recruit so many people suddenly? It's always hard to recruit women workers, isn't it? "

Spring is more and more exciting, "at present, there are more hands than ever before. Because there are many more women in Kyoto City who have filed for divorce with the government in recent months... Ranging in age from more than ten to forty or fifty, most of them are unable to bear the harsh and cruel of their husband's family before they consider seeking a way out... Even there are many more handkerchiefs embroidered by themselves in the vegetable market to make a living. Our two shops have good reputation and good treatment. We don't have to sign a deed of sale and only serve female guests. As long as women want to find work, which one doesn't want to come in? Recently, people have begged me to come here. I can't get into the inner palace. I've been waiting at the gate of the palace. It's so annoying... "

Zhuo Xi thought of a big event, "at least you are also a six life female official. Why don't you go out and buy a house to live alone? What's it like to stay in my Ning'an palace all day? "

"The spring palace is warm, I don't care. Don't drive me away! "

Baiyunshu next to him also said with a smile, "chunnuan's sister is obviously bigger than the junior officer. How come she often feels like her sister. It turns out that she is used to it." She had been in the palace late and had a short contact with her mother. She dared to talk to her mother in this way because she chatted and joked with them around her these days.

Zhuo Xi also smiled, "she is just a little child. Cloud book, you should be vigilant. Be careful not to marry! "

The two of them laughed brightly.

Zhuo Xi noticed, "eh, what about ruomin? Why did she leave in a moment? "

"Sister ruomin doesn't have time to gossip with us here! She has to go back and see how her new house is decorated! " Bai Yunshu smiles.

Zhuo Xi was interested, "new house? Have you seen it? What about? Have they decided on a wedding date? "

Chunnuan said, "I've seen the new house. It's magnificent and looks excellent. It's said that they went back to pozhou years ago, moved the remains of Mr. Ji and his colleagues to their ancestral graves, and took back the three sisters and two aunts who survived the exile in Shazhou. They all took good health and took them back to Kyoto. It was agreed that the marriage should be scheduled for February 16 next month. "

Zhuo Xi was silent. No wonder Ji ruomin's face was as green as if he owed her five million these days. It turned out to be premarital anxiety

At this time, I saw a little maid in waiting dangling around the door.

Now everything in the inner palace has entered the study of the inner house, and the female officials have sorted it out and reported to her. It is not necessary to go into the study of the house. Generally, the family members of their direct relatives come to visit, or people holding special jade medals such as Fengxin and Ke min. A Prajna is that a palace maid appears at the door temporarily. It's probably that the Empress Dowager or the emperor has something to ask.

Zhuo Xi was in a good mood, so she casually asked, "what's up?"

The little maid came in and knelt down and kowtowed, "tell the empress. Su qinger, the female official of the inner house, brought a man and said that she was desperate to see her..."

Zhuo Xi took a look at chunnuan.

"Is it a temporary agenda? I'm afraid there's something important? " Otherwise, who dares to die so recklessly?

She saluted as she spoke and went out to ask questions.

After a while, she came in and said, "Mom, yes, it's Mrs. Tao of Tao Zongzheng's family who asked to see you..."

Zhuo Xi felt that Tao Zongzheng was a little familiar for a moment. After thinking about it, she thought that Mrs. Tao herself should not have seen it. Tun asked, "does Mrs. Tao have a tomorrow?" If so, it's unreasonable that you haven't seen it; But how did you get into the palace without an order?

Chunnuan said, "No."

No, how did you get into the palace?

Zhuo Xi didn't want to be nosy. She kept in mind that she would take Xiao yu'er to the Empress Dowager's place to continue gossip about the twelve wedding decrees. She said faintly, "when can a lady at will break into the inner palace? Go and tell her that the palace is missing. " If everyone threatened her life, how would she live?

Chunnuan looked at baiyunshu and didn't speak.

Baiyunshu knelt down and said, "madam, if Mrs. Tao of Tao Zongzheng's family, you're afraid you really can't disappear."

Zhuo Xiqi said, "why is this?"

Baiyunshu continued, "my mother doesn't know. Mrs. Tao was the youngest daughter of the former Emperor, Mrs. Hu's daughter, Princess Jing Rong."

Zhuo Xi was surprised, "since she is a long princess, how can she have no title and no tomorrow?"

Baiyunshu replied, "the case of Madam Hu's witchcraft was widely implicated. Although Princess Jing Rongchang was engaged, she had not yet passed the door, so she was also implicated, demoted as a common people, and her name was removed from the Jade Butterfly. So my mother doesn't know about it. "

Zhuo Xi sighed, "I see. Do you know why she came to find this palace? "

Bai Yunshu blushed and looked at the warmth of spring.

Chunnuan also blushed. I don't know how to say.

Zhuo Xi sighed, "no, it seems that you'd better start your family and business earlier."

As soon as they said this, their faces became more red.

Zhuo Xi waved her hand, "since she is the emperor's sister, please invite her in." After all, there is a layer of blood relationship. Since I have to die to see her, I'm afraid I'm desperate.

Soon a woman was brought in and knelt on the ground.

Zhuo Xi had some psychological preparation, but when she saw the woman, she still felt surprised. Although Mrs. Tao has no respect for the long princess, she is also one of the nine Qing's Orthodox wives. Even if she is not full of pearls, she should at least be dignified, generous and low-key.

But Zhuo Xi felt that the woman kneeling in front of her was too low-key. Not only the cloth dress and the Jing skirt, but also there was no jewelry on his head. His face was plain, makeup free and pale.

Such makeup is too impolite in the palace.

But when Zhuo Xi noticed the despair in his eyes, she couldn't bear to scold him and asked softly, "what happened to Mrs. Tao? Why are you so haggard? " She thought that since she was the youngest daughter of the former Emperor, she must be smaller than Jing Yuan. Jing Yuan is only twenty-five this year. Why does this woman look like she has passed thirty?

The woman's face showed a great mourning color, but there was no tear in her eyes, as if she had cried dry. She fell deeply on the ground, "people's women, people's women came to beg their mother to give people's women a way to live."

Chunnuan shouted, "how can a bold woman talk nonsense in front of her mother?"

Mrs. Tao shook her body on the ground and said in a low voice, "the people's wife knows she is guilty and dare not ask for her mother's grace. However, the civilian women have evidence that Tao Zongzheng colluded with the remaining evils of the previous dynasty to harm the emperor and the empress. Please also give the people's women a peace and departure book for the sake of the people's women's exposing their meritorious deeds. "

Zhuo Xi was shocked. "Tao Zongzheng colluded with the remaining evils of the previous dynasty?" Is it related to the night before returning to the palace? After returning to the palace, they have been investigating who leaked the route and time of the party back to the palace. The people who were originally taken out of the palace are basically confidants. There is no reason to leak their whereabouts, so they haven't found a clue in a few days. The guards of the inner palace who were temporarily ordered to pick them up said they had received the order temporarily. Gu Jing, the deputy commander in charge of the guards of the inner palace, said that he only saw a woman holding a jade card to report the news. In order to be cautious, he sent a team of guards to pick them up. Unexpectedly, it was true. But then the woman was never found again.

Is this woman Mrs. Tao?

She asked, "when the emperor was in danger that night, did you send someone to report the letter?"

Mrs. Tao nodded. "When my father was dying, he sent a jade card to the people's wife, saying that he could enter the palace at the most critical moment. The people's wife couldn't travel, so she asked the nursing mother to go into the palace to report with this jade card. "

Zhuo Xi was shocked that it was her... She remembered Jianshui and said that fortunately, a team came to meet her that day, otherwise the situation would be in danger.

Mrs. Tao took out an object from her sleeve and put it flat on the ground in front of her head. "This is a letter between Tao Zhi and Mingyuan. Tao Zhi wanted to destroy it that night. The civilian woman noticed in advance and transcribed a copy and put it in place. This is the original of the letter."

Zhuo Xi was confused, motioned chunnuan to show it to her, and asked, "Tao Zongzheng is in charge of Royal affairs. Why...?"

Also, why does Tao Zhi sound so familiar?
