It was the day to enter the palace in a blink of an eye. In the morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and it looked a little depressed, and it seemed that there would be heavy rain at any time.

In the afternoon, a heavy rain came as scheduled. After the rain passed, the dark clouds dissipated and revealed the clear sky.

Zhuang Rou stood in the corridor and looked up at the sky. Water droplets were still dripping from the eaves. The ground was wet, and the air had the smell of earth after rain.

"What are you looking at?" Wu Xiaofu asked, standing behind her.

Zhuang Rou turned around and looked at her, and said thoughtfully: "Tonight, you go to the imperial banquet with me as a maid. If there is any danger, you should protect Princess Rongbao, and her guards will not enter the palace."

"You know you can't escape today?"

"Pretend that the princess is going to lose her head. If you want to kill the emperor, will you involve me?" Wu Xiaofu asked worriedly.

The person in front of him is not a good-looking lamp. He would not surrender just because the emperor wanted to kill her. Maybe he would directly capture the emperor as a hostage.

Wu Xiaofu thought about it and felt terrible, and he didn't know why he thought of such a rebellious thing.

What a cunning woman, she immediately thought of protecting herself.

Zhuang Rou sneered, "You are the national teacher, what do I do with you?"

"Yes, I have nothing to do with you." Wu Xiaofu breathed a sigh of relief and almost forgot about this.

Zhuang Rou looked at this ruthless woman, it was so unpleasant.

At this time, a maid came over and saluted, "Princess, you can prepare to set off."

"I understand." Zhuang Rou nodded. Although it was still early to dinner, there was too much going to the palace to attend the banquet.

First, I have to look at the empress and the empress dowagers from each palace, chat and play each other with a few words. Only when the time comes can we go to the dinner party.

In order to avoid losing the etiquette, some people only dare to hide two pieces of snacks without losing their habits. As long as they don’t feel hungry, they can do it.

This is not Dahao. She can no longer wear men's clothes to enter the palace. Princess Rongbao asked someone to prepare a set of women's clothes for her, and she had already changed it at this time.

Zhuang Rou took Wu Xiaofu, who was dressed as a maid, and followed Princess Rongbao to the palace in a car.

It was very smooth when entering the palace, but after entering two palace gates, a female official took the palace maid to guard the palace gate. After saying something offended, she began to check frantically whether she had a weapon.

I carefully turned over my wide cuffs, my waist and legs were pinched, and the hem of the skirt was lifted up. I stopped seeing that I was wearing flowery shoes that could not hide the dagger.

No one else checked, just checked Zhuang Rou alone.

If it weren't for being too lazy to argue with her and not wanting to cause trouble, Zhuang Rou would have slapped them away.

Princess Rongbao endured it for a while, but she didn't yell at all. She was really afraid that Zhuang Rou would bring a weapon.

Fortunately, nothing was found, so the palace maids came over to lead them into the group.

But Zhuang Rou didn't want to see the concubines of each palace. Whenever she went there, she would say that she would go to the toilet with abdominal pain, and then she would wait outside the halls. The bored man ignored the palace maids who were guarding her.

The empresses of each palace wanted to see her, but they were afraid that they would have something to do with her and would get into trouble, so they instead agreed to her behavior.

After a while, the sky became darker and finally it was time to enter the table. Princess Rongbao also came back, but she looked extremely tired.

She was pestered by the empresses and repeated several times. She was trapped by the lake that day, how could Zhuang Rou save her bravely?

It’s okay to say it once or twice, but every time I go to a palace, I have to say the last time, and I feel a little boring and tired.

The only thing that Zhuang Rou can blame is for being so brave as a woman, and her life in the palace is boring. If there are any new things, how can the concubines not listen carefully?

Zhuang Rou had guessed that this would happen, so she didn't think about going in from the beginning.

Fortunately, there was no more trouble except going to the dinner party to wait for the dinner. Princess Rongbao rubbed her waist and smiled bitterly, and then went to the dinner with her.

The dinner was held in the Yingchun Hall. They came too late but not too early. Many people already took their seats in the hall.

The middle of the hall was full of civil and military ministers. The wife was ordered to sit on both sides of the hall and separated the ministers with a screen.

After sitting down, you can vaguely see the officials in the hall and the dragon chaise above through the screen.

Princess Zhuang Rou and Rongbao have a noble status and sit in a relatively high position, but they are treated a little differently from other destiny women.

The wife was only served by the palace maids, and Zhuang Rou also had four extremely strong guards who were as tall as half a wall.

They were wearing brocade clothes, and their muscles supported them, exuding a breath of oppression that was coming to their faces. They all stood against the wall expressionlessly, just over ten feet away from Zhuang Rou.

Princess Rongbao also enjoyed this kind of protection because she was with Zhuang Rou, and she was sitting next to her.

She turned back many times without regard for etiquette, and these people made her very upset. They always recalled the danger in Peach Mountain. These people were so much like bears.

Zhuang Rou was not at all uncomfortable, and even secretly grabbed something to eat, waiting for the meal to start.

After waiting for half an hour, the Yingchun Palace was full, and Emperor Hongye and the Empress also appeared in a daze.

The concubine who gave birth to the little princess was too low and was not qualified to come and show her face. Even the little princess who had just been a hundred days old had not been carried out.

During the whole dinner, although everyone was blessing the princess for all kinds of great value, such as Ruyi or Golden Lock and Jade, everyone knew that this was just an excuse to hold a banquet. Once the gift was sent back, he would be silent like a mute.

Princess Rongbao also prepared a gift for her younger sister, a pair of golden bells.

Zhuang Rou didn't come empty-handed. She gave her a pair of cloth tigers that she bought on the street for more than ten cents.

She doesn't know if the children like gold, silver and jewelry older, but the cloth tiger can definitely play for several years.

After the meal, Zhuang Rou was waiting for the person who came back from Dahao to appear and pointed out that she was a big liar.

But she couldn't wait on the left or right, but instead waited on the national teacher.

The gift given to the little princess by the national teacher was a pill, saying that it could protect the princess from being invaded by wind and evil and grow up safely.

After using the pills made from some unknown insects to deal with the emperor, the national teacher entered the table and greeted the officials with a kind smile.

Everyone didn't want to have a close relationship with this charlatan, but they were afraid that they would be too obvious, which would make Emperor Hongye unhappy, so they could only talk to him in a fishy manner.

Emperor Hongye seemed to really want to appease the ministers, but did not show any kindness and destruction at the dinner. The atmosphere of the dinner gradually improved with the dancer and the performance.

At this time, the national master stood up and drank too much wine. He wanted to go and deal with it, and walked out of the hall.

Zhuang Rou didn't see him winking at him through the screen, but the banquet was half over and it was too unreasonable to have no movement.

Thinking of this, she stood up and asked to the strong men behind her, "I want to go to the toilet, are you going?"

Princess Rongbao suddenly blushed. There was no need to speak of such things. If they really had to follow each other, they would naturally follow.

"Princess, I'll go there." Zhuang Rou glanced at the palace maid next to her and signaled her to lead the way.

Princess Rongbao originally wanted to go with her, but when she saw that the four of them really wanted to go with her, she gave up the idea.

The palace maid led Zhuang Rou, followed by four strong men out of Yingchun Hall and walked towards the side hall behind.

When they arrived in front of the side hall, they were entangled by annoying mosquitoes. Several people fanned them and tried to drive them away, but to no avail. The mosquitoes were buzzing around and refused to leave.

"Bang!"

A strong man slapped his neck, but the lights were dim and I didn't know if they hit it.

Zhuang Rou glanced at them a few times, then walked into a room in the side hall, and closed the door without letting the palace maid enter.

This is a clean room specially used for noble women. There are screens in the bottom, and you can see rows of clean Gongbus. There are screens on the side, only one Gongbus is placed.

In addition to these, there are dressing tables, embroidered stools, half-person-high bronze mirrors and other objects.

Zhuang Rou didn't really come to do this. After closing the door, she just stood there and listened to the sound of mosquitoes being beaten outside the door.

Then a few loud noises came from the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and the sound of slapping the mosquitoes disappeared.

She opened the door and saw the palace maid and the strong man lying on the ground and were already unconscious.

I knew that the leader would help him deal with these people, but I was surprised that he actually left a living mouth.

"Trag the person into the flowers and follow me." The leader walked out of the darkness and said to her.

Zhuang Rou frowned, grabbed one person with one hand, and dragged everyone into the flowers twice. She was also very strong, and she was not as quick as hers when she changed someone.

The leader was quite satisfied with her strength and nodded and said, "Let's go."

"Where to go?" Zhuang Rou asked after him.

The leader smiled and said, "When you walk, you will not be able to come back when Your Majesty summons the person who comes back from Dahao."

Zhuang Rou smacked her lips and followed.

A man is not allowed to enter the palace, just like the back garden of the leader’s house.

He left openly and without any fear of being seen, but he perfectly avoided all the imperial guards.

Zhuang Rou followed him around, and could only guess where he had come from the plaques of the halls and the lake and ponds that he occasionally saw, from the maps he remembered to be memorable.

As he walked, the leader in front suddenly stopped. He turned around and said, "The library is in front of him, and the dragon picture is inside. Don't pretend that I don't know what I am talking about."

Zhuang Rou pouted, assuming his words, then looked at him and asked, "So what?"

"If you become my person, take the insect eggs, I will go in and bring you the dragon map. Those who come back from Dahao will also bring credible good news." The leader said with a smile.

Zhuang Rou questioned: "Can you get the dragon map so simple? Then I can go by myself. The guards and eunuchs guarding at the door have no problem with me."

It seemed that he had heard something funny, and the leader showed an exaggerated smile, "If I don't have me, I will give you three hours and you can't even find the dragon map if you dig three feet into the ground."

"But I have the power to enter and exit the library at will, and I can bring out the dragon map after a moment of entering."

Judging from his confident look, Zhuang Rou must have had the idea of ​​Longtu a long time ago.

I'm afraid I've read all the library, but it's not right. Maybe I've asked Emperor Hongye where the dragon map was hidden.
