Being robbed several times in a row, Taoye simply put down her chopsticks and stood aside with her hands tied.
A look of satisfaction flashed across Qingxing's face, and she served even more attentively, but Rong Jiu frowned slightly, tilted her head and said, "I asked you to come here to look good standing?"
"My slave knows the crime!"
After receiving this scolding, Taoye did not feel aggrieved and respectfully picked up the chopsticks to serve Rongjiu with food again.
She knew why the fifth young master was dissatisfied. Most of the things Qingxing had just picked up were not what he liked to eat, but due to family rules, he couldn't just put them aside.
After breakfast, Rong Jiu walked to the back room, Qing Xing followed him hurriedly, while Tao Ye quietly cleared away the dishes outside.
A quarter of an hour later, Rong Jiu changed into a crimson general uniform and came out. The silver hook belt around her waist was in the shape of a powerful animal head.
The fifth young master looks good in crimson clothes.
As soon as such thoughts came up, Taoye suppressed them. The beauty was so touching that she was dazzled just now.
As for Qing Xing, her eyes wanted to stick to Rong Jiu.
"Fifth Young Master, Madam asks you if you are ready?"
Bixiao's voice sounded outside the door.
"Walk!"
Rong Jiu walked to the corridor and was about to take Xingyun and the two out. Bixiao on the side glanced at Taoye but did not move.
"Fifth Young Master, madam, let Miss Taoye come into the palace with you!"
Bixiao said.
"Is this what the palace means?"
Rong Jiu asked.
"I don't know the specific slave. Madam only mentioned that Miss Taoye should follow her into the palace!"
Seeing that the fifth young master seemed unhappy, Bixiao lowered his head and replied.
"Go change clothes!"
Rong Jiu pondered for a moment and said to Tao Ye.
"Fifth Young Master, Madam is already waiting outside. We can't delay entering the palace. I'll just wear this, okay?"
Taoye was dressed plainly today. There were no embroidery patterns on her dress. The color was also very light aqua. She only had two undecorated copper hairpins on her head. The only eye-catching thing was the one buried on the side. A few pink and white silk flowers.
Shengsheng concealed some of her bright and charming appearance.
Rong Jiu didn't say anything more, but turned around and continued walking out.
Taoye got the tacit consent and walked together with Bixiao.
"Mom, you've been waiting for a long time!"
When he was approaching the gate of the mansion, Gu Yunqing was already waiting at the screen wall.
"My son looks really good today!"
Gu Yunqing couldn't stop the joy on his face as he looked at his son Fengshen's handsome appearance.
"You are all following your mother. My son will help you get into the carriage!"
Rong Jiu joked while helping Gu Yunqing walk out of the mansion.
"When you get to the palace, follow your mother closely and don't look around or move around!"
As he helped Tao Ye onto the carriage, Rong Jiu gave instructions in a deep voice.
Bixiao and Biyun were still watching from behind, while Taoye just nodded.
Rong Jiu and Xingyun got on their horses and followed the carriage.
The group of people walked slowly north.
"Ma'am, lean closer!"
Taoye squatted and stuffed a soft pillow next to Gu Yunqing's waist.
"You still have a heart!"
Gu Yunqing suffered a lot when she gave birth to Rongjiu. She suffered from some underlying diseases and her waist was easily uncomfortable. No matter how stable the carriage in the Duke's mansion was, it would inevitably have some bumps, so her waist was even more prone to discomfort.
Tao Ye was praised, but there was no shame on her face.
Instead, he stepped back and allowed Biyun and Bixiao to serve him.
The carriage traveled for almost half an hour and then stopped.
"Mother, my son went first!"
Rong Jiu got off the horse, looked at the peach leaves again, and then went to the palace gate on the other side.
"Don't worry, the queen just wants to see you, just follow me later!"
Gu Yunqing followed the chamberlain who came to pick him up to Changning Palace. When he saw Tao Ye lowering her head, she comforted him timidly.
Taoye couldn't let go. No matter how much the queen cared about the fifth young master, it was unlikely that she would think of summoning a maid.
And in this palace, the only person she had ever interacted with was Princess Mingyue.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, she once tricked Gui Yun into saying that Princess Mingyue and the Fifth Young Master had a dispute about her at the hunting ground.
In this palace, it is much easier for Princess Mingyue to challenge her than outside.
After walking for almost two quarters of an hour, a majestic palace appeared in front of us.
"Mrs. Rong is here. Master has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Two maids had been waiting at the entrance of the palace. When they saw Gu Yunqing, they rushed up to salute.
Guided by the two of them, Gu Yunqing took Tao Ye into the main hall.
"Yun Qing is here, come and sit down!"
As soon as Gu Yunqing lowered his body, he was lifted up by the woman in gorgeous clothes above him and pulled to sit next to him.
"Eldest sister!"
Although Gu Yunqing has passed the age of forty, he still feels as attached to the woman in gorgeous clothes as he did when he was a child.
"Yue'er has met her aunt!"
Mingyue was so cute that she stepped forward and bowed.
"Auntie didn't bring a gift for Yue'er today?"
After Mingyue stood up, she took Gu Yunqing's hand and said coquettishly.
"Nonsense! Your aunt didn't give you enough stuff!"
The woman in fine clothes laughed and scolded.
"Eldest sister, don't blame her, Yue'er is just like my own daughter!"
Gu Yunqing smiled and stuffed the purse around her waist into Mingyue's hand: "How could my aunt not prepare it for you?"
Mingyue happily opened it and looked at it. Inside was a pink pearl the size of a pigeon egg, round and crystal clear.
"My aunt should treat me well!"
Mingyue happily pulled Gu Yunqing and said.
The three of them were laughing and chatting above, while Taoye below still maintained the posture of saluting and lay on the ground.
"Is this Ajiu's new roommate?"
Queen Gu Yunzhao glanced at her daughter and turned her head, just in time to see the peach leaves on the ground.
Knowing that he had no place to speak here, Taoye still rested his forehead on the back of his hand.
"Yes! This girl has been..."
"No, brother Ajiu loves her the most. He has blamed Mingyue many times for her!"
Before Gu Yunqing could finish speaking, Mingyue took over the topic.
Rong Jiuxin took in a beautiful wife and doted on her, even if she disobeyed her biological father. This matter had been publicized by thoughtful people and had already spread throughout the powerful circles in Shengjing. As the head of the Sixth Palace, Gu Yunzhao certainly had something to say. Hear.
Thinking of what his daughter said yesterday, Gu Yunzhao's eyes became colder, and his words were full of the majesty of being the mother of a country: "Raise your head and let me see!"
Taoye responded in a low voice and slowly straightened up, but her head was still slightly bowed.
"Look up, I don't eat people, why do you need to be so pretentious!"
Gu Yunzhao continued in a cold voice.
"This maid is a little timid when she enters the palace for the first time. Don't blame me, eldest sister!"
Gu Yunqing felt that his eldest sister seemed to be particularly strict today.
"Yes, slave, I obey!"
Taoye had no choice but to raise her head, revealing her beautiful hibiscus face.
When Gu Yunzhao saw it, he was really stunned for a moment.
She is the master of the harem. After ascending the throne, she has presided over the selection of beautiful women several times. What kind of beauties have I never seen?
But the appearance of this maid below is not comparable to that of His Majesty's favorite concubine.
