The gambling concubine has an appointment, the prince will come again

Chapter 30 Rumors Are Just Rumors
"Oh, brother, don't worry, I know everything."

Seeing that Tao Mo's face finally had the only joy in the past few days, Tao Yuanhe sighed silently, no matter what, it's good that his mood improved.

"Turn around on your own first, and when it gets dark, I'll take you out."

"Understood, brother, you go first, I still have to prepare here."

"Little heartless!" After patting Tao Mo's forehead, Tao Yuanhe left Yiranju slowly, shaking his fan.

As soon as Tao Yuanhe walked away, Tao Mo closed the door, and dragged Xiaolu who had been painting the mural into the inner room, "Xiaolu, hurry up and fix it for me, make sure your miss Handsome and blind tonight!"

Xiaolu looked at the excited Tao Mo speechlessly, and replied, "Yes."

"Bring me that moon-white gown."

"Yes."

Xiaolu turned around and searched in the closet, and found a moon-white satin shirt embroidered with dark patterns, and showed it to Tao Mo, "Miss, is this one?"

"That's right, that's it."

Tao Mo finished his clothes, and with Xiaolu's help, he wrapped his bodice, put on a long gown, and tied his hair in a bun with a hairpin. Just looking at his back, he looked like a suave young man!

Tao Mo itself is not particularly tall, only about 1.6 meters, which is very petite for a man, so she put two self-made height-enhancing insoles in her shoes, abruptly raising her 1.6-meter height to With a height of 1.7 meters, Tao Mo said that Xiaolu looked at her feet worriedly, and she didn't feel it at all because she was used to wearing modern high heels!
"Xiaolu, quickly help me change my appearance, remember, you must be handsome!"

"Miss is inherently good-looking, even if she is not easy to look at, she is very handsome." Xiaolu kept helping Tao Mo put on makeup, and at the same time she did not forget to say good things.

"Hee hee, Xiaolu, you can really talk." No matter how Xiaolu smeared on his face, Tao Mo's depressed mood in the past few days finally improved a lot.

"Miss, do you want to bring Xiaohong with you today?"

Tao Mo closed his eyes, and replied: "No, you and Xiaohong will stay in the mansion. If there is any situation, let Xiaohong go to Yuehonglou to find me."

"The servant knows."

Xiaolu picked up the eyebrow pencil and began to draw Tao Mo's eyebrows, "Miss, why did you think of going to Yuehonglou today?"

"There are some things I need to let Fuliu and the others find out for me."

Xiaolu continued to draw her eyebrows as if she didn't understand the deep meaning in Tao Mo's words, "Why is Sister Fuliu transferred to the capital?"

"Your lady, I'm going to marry the prince soon, and of course we have to start the deployment of the capital. Fuliu is our first step!"

Fuliu, formerly named Liu Yun, was originally a young lady, but because of her poor family, she was living in a brothel in Chuguan. Fortunately, Tao Mo saved her from the fate of thousands of pillows with jade arms and red lips.

However, although Tao Mo was able to keep Liu Yun's innocence, he couldn't rescue her from the brothel because of her status as an official prostitute. Later, because of some things, Liu Yun was ashamed and willingly changed her name to Fuliu, and helped Tao Mo inquire about news in the Chu Pavilion of the brothel. .

"There is Zilou protecting Jiangnan, so sister Fuliu can be saved from murder. This capital city..."

"That's the most important purpose of my going to Yuehonglou today." Tao Mo opened his eyes, "Tonight I want to let everyone in the capital know that Fuliu is the person that my Tao Mansion likes! I want to see, How many people in this capital dare to oppose my Tao family!"

Tao Mo's words are not an exaggeration. Tao Mansion is the richest man in the world, and nearly [-]% of the business in the capital is Tao Mansion's subordinates. Life in the capital!
"Miss wise."

"By the way, where did you put the snowball that the mynah brought back last time?"

When mentioning Xue**, Xiaolu said with some hesitation: "Because the young lady didn't give orders, the maidservant put Xue** in the dressing cabinet on her own initiative."

"A dressing cabinet?" Tao Mo thought for a while, and continued, "It's fine, there won't be sunlight there, but it's going to be hot soon, so remember to put some ice cubes in the cabinet every day to cool down."

"Yes, the servant knows."

"Oh! By the way, don't forget to make sure the cabinet is dry after cooling down. If it's too humid, the efficacy of the medicine will decrease."

"Miss, don't worry, this slave will always remember."

"Well, you have always been meticulous, and I am relieved to leave it to you."

Xiaolu stopped answering the phone and concentrated on putting on Tao Mo's makeup. For a while, the only sound in the room was the sound of Xiaolu applying rouge and gouache to Tao Mo's face.

"Miss, it's all right."

Xiaolu's movements were so gentle that Tao Mo couldn't help but fell asleep. It was Xiaolu who woke her up after putting on her makeup, and then woke up leisurely.

"Is it done?" Tao Mo blinked in a daze, and was about to raise his hand to rub his eyes.

"Miss, don't move around, put on your makeup carefully." Xiaolu grabbed Tao Mo's hand and stopped her movements.

Now Tao Mo really woke up, looking at the person in the bronze mirror who looked similar to before but couldn't see his daughter at all, he couldn't help but praise: "Xiao Lu's hands are getting more and more skillful. "

"Miss, thank you." Although she said modest words, Xiaolu still covered the leaking chuckle from the corner of her mouth with her hands.

Tao Mo patted Xiao Lu's hand, but said nothing.

Xiaolu took out a fake Adam's apple from the shadow box of the jewelry box and put it on Tao Mo, and then covered the traces with powder around it. At first glance, it looked like a real Adam's apple!
"Miss, you have to be careful what you say at night, and don't show your flaws." After checking the details again, Xiaolu kept telling Tao Mo.

"Your lady, do I seem to be such a careless person?!" Tao Mo rubbed Xiao Lu's head, and asked in a dangerous tone.

Xiaolu smiled flatteringly, "Miss is naturally the most careful person." No, miss, can you completely ignore the surroundings when you lose your temper?
Tao Mo, who didn't know Xiaolu's slander, patted the top of her hair in satisfaction, "For you to pass, you hurry up and call my starling over, it's going to be dark soon, and I'm going to go out."

"Yes, Xiaolu is going here."

Xiaolu trotted out the door, looking for Tao Yuanhe and naturally did not mention it.Tao Mo collected the bank notes from Tao Yuanhe in the afternoon, and sat in the yard drinking tea while Tao Yuanhe came to Yiranju to take her out.

Chengqian Hall where the prince lives in the imperial city.

"Seventh brother, have you made up your mind?" There were only Prince Situ Yu and the former Seventh Prince and now King Chen Situ Yin in the huge room.

Situ Yin took a sip of tea slowly, rolled his eyelids, and said, "So what if you think about it? So what if you don't think about it? The imperial decree has been issued, do I still have a chance to go back on it?" Although I didn't want to go back on it.

"If you are not satisfied with this marriage, I can go and beg Father to take it back!"

"Prince," Situ Yin put down the teacup, "No need, I am very satisfied with this marriage."

Situ Yu didn't believe what Situ Yin said no matter what, he thought he just didn't want to embarrass himself, and the soft light in his eyes was even more soft, "Seventh brother, I know you don't want me to embarrass you, but this matter is related to your lifelong happiness. We must help you fight for it!"

"..." Regarding the prince's stubbornness, Situ Yin didn't know what to say, "I agreed to this marriage myself."

"If it wasn't for the emperor's decree, which good man would marry the notorious Miss Tao Shi?!"

Hearing Situ Yu's description of Tao Mo, a look of displeasure flashed in Situ Yin's eyes, "Has the prince ever met Miss Tao Shi?"

The prince shook his head and said, "No."

"Has the prince ever personally seen Miss Tao Shi do those rumored things?"

"Never."

"The crown prince has never met Miss Tao Shi in person, and you have never seen the rumored things with your own eyes. How can you judge someone so rashly?"

"But those rumors..."

"The prince also said that it was just a rumor!"

"..." The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say to refute because of the time. After a while, he realized, and continued: "I only know that there is no wind without waves!" The voice was more than one tone lower than before.

"Since the crown prince believes that Miss Tao Shi is not a good match, it is useless for me to say more," Situ Yin got up and bowed to Situ Yu, "It's getting late, and the palace gate is about to fall, and there are still some things to do in the house Once it’s done, let’s go ahead.”

The prince did not expect that Situ Yin would propose to leave the palace, and he couldn't help thinking about Miss Tao Shi's influence on Situ Yin in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, "Alright, I will send you off."

Situ Yin stopped the prince from thinking of seeing him off, "No need, in the palace, it's better for the prince not to get too close to his younger brother."

"..." The prince was silent. He naturally knew his father's attitude towards Situ Yin, so he unconsciously slowed down when he saw him off.

Seeing all this, Situ Yin smiled mockingly, put away the smile on his face when the prince looked over, and returned to his expressionless face, "Your brother, leave."

After leaving the Chengqian Palace, Situ Yin walked on the red brick road leading to the palace gate. It was almost the time when the palace gate was dropped, but Situ Yin was the only one on the long road, and the setting sun slanted on him. Stretching the shadow extremely long, not only her own color was dyed red by the palace wall, Situ Yin actually felt that the setting sun made her eyes bloodshot, as if she had returned to that year...

That year was a turning point in his fate. In that year, he saw the palace was stained red with the blood of his mother and concubine. In that year, he was rejected by his father and bullied by evil slaves.

In that year, he started a path of survival that ordinary people could not imagine. It was also in that year that he completely understood the rules of this palace!
For some reason, Situ Yin suddenly wanted to see Tao Mo, even if he didn't do anything, just look at her quietly, but he thought about what Xi Niang said when he went to the mansion two days ago, Suppressed the crazy thoughts in my heart.

On the long palace road, Situ Yin walked slowly alone, just like he had been struggling to survive in this palace for so many years, he was always alone, and the shadowy shadows grew and shortened behind him. The upright figure gradually receded, becoming more and more lonely.

Tao Mo didn't wait for a while, Tao Yuanhe and Xiaolu arrived at Yiranju.
