Chapter 277 The Queen is so beautiful 4
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Entering from the west gate is already far away from the residences of the palaces, so it's inevitable that we have to walk a little further. If we want to be closer, we have to enter from the main gate on the east..."
At this point, the old lady seemed to have thought of something, her expression became slightly flustered, and she stopped talking.
Even if Shangguan Yu didn't care about Hua Fangfei, the maids in the palace didn't dare to make things difficult for her just because of her background.
Hua Fangfei smiled slightly, took out a gold leaf from her purse and placed it in the maid's hand. "Mammy, I'm new here and I don't know much about the situation in the palace. I hope you can tell me more."
The nanny's face changed. She observed her surroundings calmly, accepted the gold leaf, and then continued, "Your Majesty, you may not know that this palace is divided into two palaces and six courtyards. Each courtyard is divided into many small palaces. The closest to the Emperor's Chengqian Palace are Chenglu Palace in the East Palace and Qinse Palace in the West Palace. Each palace is divided into a main palace and beauties and nobles below."
Hua Fangfei nodded as if she understood, and then slipped another gold leaf to the maid. "Could you tell me a little more, for example, is there someone named Yu Meiren in the palace, and where does she live?"
The previous words were just a cover, the latter sentence was what Hua Fangfei really wanted to know.
This time, the nanny was much more cautious. She pulled Hua Fangfei closer to her before she spoke softly, "There is indeed a beauty in the palace named Yu Xue. The emperor has arranged for her to live in a palace in the West Palace. It's quite far from Chengqian Palace, but she is such a beauty that she actually has her own palace. It shows that the emperor still cares about her."
Hua Fangfei listened carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time, "Mammy, when will we arrive?"
The nanny leaned forward slightly and said, "Your Majesty's palace is arranged in the Qiluan Palace of the Eastern Palace. That palace is quite good, only slightly inferior to the Chenglu Palace."
Hua Fangfei shook her head. Shangguan Yu had arranged for Yu Meiren to stay in the West Palace, while he himself stayed in the East Palace. He probably didn't want them to run into each other. And what about what the old nanny said about Yu Xue living in a palace all to herself? That was truly a great favor.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at Qiluan Palace. Looking at the three big words on it, Hua Fangfei realized something.
Qiluan Palace, Qiluan Palace, Qiluan... Are they treating her like a bird and want to keep her in this palace?
Looking at the dark ink characters above, Hua Fangfei asked the nanny again, "Mammy, has this Qiluan Palace always been called this?"
The maid who was directing the maids who were cleaning the hall to gather and pay their respects to Hua Fangfei replied, "No, the name of this hall was suddenly changed by the Emperor two months ago."
Two months ago... So Shangguan Yu had the idea of taking her into the palace two months ago.
"My lady, why are you asking this?"
Hua Fangfei pretended to be calm, a smile on her face. "Nothing, I just think this name is quite unique and nice. So what was the name of this palace before?"
Hua Fangfei said this of course to dispel the nanny's suspicion. She was too lazy to know what the palace was called before.
"Well, the original name of this palace was Qixia Palace. The emperor only changed one character."
Hua Fangfei smiled and nodded, looking at the palace maids standing in the yard. She suddenly felt a headache. She used to do things based on her mood, but in this world of power struggle, she also had to take into account the unpredictable human heart.
Who knows which of these people standing in front of him were arranged by Shangguan Yu and which ones are loyal? We can't just kick them all out with one blow.
"Greetings, Madam Hua."
Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs kneeling on the ground in front of her, Hua Fangfei couldn't help but feel a headache. She waved her hand and said in a cold voice: "Everyone, get up."
The servants got the nod and stood up. Hua Fangfei frowned slightly when she saw them standing there motionless, and then she thought that these servants would not dare to move without her order.
There are so many rules here. "Okay, go away and do what you should do."
"Yes." The palace maids and eunuchs responded in unison and then left one after another.
"Who are these people?" Hua Fangfei asked the nanny, glancing at the two palace maids who had been following her since she entered the palace.
