Chapter 127 Feeling sorry for my sister
When Tang Xiluo heard this, his ugly expression eased a little, but he still couldn't hide the heartache in his eyes.
Without the other concubines bullying her, my sister can live a little freer. Otherwise, she would have to pay her respects to the main hall every day and live her life according to the master's mood.
But this place is too remote, and I don’t know if my sister would be scared living here alone. Would she be able to call someone in time if she encounters danger?
The young eunuch was trembling with fear and could only speak in nice words.
The reason why there is no one in Yaxiu Palace is because it is too far away from the emperor. The concubines who used to live here have tried their best to move out. The four concubines have high status and are even more reluctant to come here.
Soon, they arrived at the side hall. The personal maid that Tang Xirou brought into the palace saw her with sharp eyes and quickly saluted.
"Your servant greets the princess!"
Tang Xiluo raised his hand: "Get up, where's your elder sister?"
Caiwei smiled happily: "The young lady is in the hall." The second lady is here and can talk to the young lady, otherwise the young lady can't be depressed like this all the time!
There were two other maids and two eunuchs in the hall. They were originally unwilling to work here, but they had no choice after being assigned here.
They could only comfort themselves that although the young lady's rank was a bit low, she was still the eldest daughter of the general's mansion, not to mention that her younger sister was the Princess of Chen.
When they saw someone coming, they were more excited and happy than when they saw their own master.
"Your servant/servant greets the princess!"
Tang Xiluo took in their every move calmly. Those who were working listlessly just now, all had smiles on their faces after seeing him.
So she didn't have a good face towards these people.
"Ah."
Tang Xirou, who was in the hall, heard the noise outside and hurried out. When she saw the person coming, her face was filled with surprise.
"Lolo! Why are you here?" She had only been in the palace for a few days when Lolo came to see her.
Arriving in this unfamiliar environment, it would be a lie for her to say that she was not afraid. The living conditions now were not as good as when she was in the general's mansion. Although Lin was not nice to them, she did not dare to be too harsh on them in public.
Besides, her father has returned and her sister has grown up, so her life is naturally not too bad. Now that she is here, she has begun to experience the true horror of the harem.
For a moment, her eyes were red with grievance and helplessness: "Lolo..."
Tang Xiluo sighed helplessly and distressedly: "Sister, let's go in and talk."
After the two of them went in, Xiaoli considerately closed the door for them.
Xiaomei handed the prepared silver note to Caiwei.
After seeing this, the eunuch who led the way became even more determined to come here to work.
The two sisters have a good relationship, and Chang Zai is also a gentle person. He has a hunch that if he comes here to work, his future life will not be too bad.
Just from the fact that the prince arranged for him to bring the princess over, it was enough to see how much the prince valued the princess.
Just when he was worrying about how to do his job, the two eunuchs around him began to complain to him.
"Which palace do you serve in?"
"I work in the Silver Bureau." He makes gold and silver ornaments, but he doesn't have much contact with them, so he can only do odd jobs.
Another eunuch envied and complained: "So good? You don't know how hard our lives are. Slaves follow their masters. If the masters are not doing well, we slaves will have a harder life."
"That's right, judging from the current situation between us, it seems that we have reached the end."
This place is remote, what's the difference between it and the cold palace? What's more, the master they follow is a simple-minded one. Other masters try hard to climb up, but this one does nothing but eat and sleep. His status is too low to be qualified to pay respects.
If she can't go out and hang around to make her presence felt, not only will the emperor not remember her, but even the concubines will forget about her.
"Don't say that, you two each have your own difficulties."
It's not easy to work in the Silver Bureau. If you're not appreciated, you'll just be a handyman. If the concubines are not satisfied with the jewelry, you'll be pushed out to take the blame.
Thinking about his own experience, he would rather come here to work. The master is kind and he doesn't have to live in fear every day. Although life is hard, he lives more at ease.
"I really envy the servants around the Imperial Concubine."
As the saying goes, when you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner. There is no queen in the palace, and the imperial concubine is the most powerful one. The servants serving around her all hold their heads high, and even those who rely on their masters' power dare to bully concubines of lower status.
The eunuch who led the way was stunned and his face turned pale.
He had witnessed the imperial concubine's cruel methods with his own eyes. It was common for her to punish servants and maids. From time to time, he would hear about someone in her palace being beaten to death with a stick.
The imperial concubine was picky and was often dissatisfied with the jewelry made by the silver workshop. It was common for her to cause trouble. The last time, the servant who was pushed out to take the blame was ordered to be beaten to death by the imperial concubine.
In their eyes, human life is worthless, and the lives of their slaves are even less valuable. They don't even have the right to resist and can only stay away.
-
Inside the palace, Tang Xiluo held Tang Xirou's hand and said, "Sister, have you gotten used to the palace these few days? Are those servants doing well for you?"
Tang Xirou nodded: "Everything is fine." Although the maids and servants were dissatisfied, they did not do anything out of line.
Tang Xiluo sighed even more helplessly. How could her sister be so useless? Even when she was right in front of her, she didn't take the opportunity to complain.
Tang Xirou poured a glass of boiled water for her sister: "Don't be disgusted, Luoluo, I will pour you good tea in the future."
Tang Xiluo felt a lump in her nose and interrupted what she was doing.
"Sister, stop working. I'm not thirsty."
Tang Xirou was stunned. That was right. Her younger sister was the regent princess who was married to her in a formal ceremony. She had tasted all kinds of good tea. It was all her fault that she was useless as an older sister. Not only did she fail to help her, but she also dragged her down.
Tang Xiluo changed the subject: "Sister, has the emperor been here before?"
Tang Xirou lowered her head and then shook it.
She thought that because of the friendship they had last met in the restaurant, the emperor would remember her a little. However, she had been in the palace for several days and had not even seen the emperor.
She quickly cheered herself up. She couldn't let herself be disappointed in front of her sister so as not to make her worry.
"Lolo, tell me about your family."
Tang Xiluo curled his lips and said, "What else could possibly happen at home? Dad has been in the military camp these past few days and hasn't been home yet."
