The next day, Lin Wan got up early and started to make up, ate some pastries made by Wang Qi, and before she put on her coat, Du's mother came, saying that the Jade Concubine Niangniang sent Li Gonggong to pick up Lin Wan into the palace to see the Jade Concubine Niangniang.

Lin Wan put on the light yellow palace clothes that had been prepared a long time ago, took the green tung and green willows, and walked out of the Wanxin Pavilion. I saw Mother Du standing bowed at the door of Wanxin Pavilion, and there was a middle-aged man with a medium stature, a slightly bowed body, wearing a eunuch suit, and a white beard.

Seeing Lin Wan come out, Gonggong Li greeted him with a smile, stood three steps away, bowed down, and saluted: "The old slave said hello to Miss Seven, Concubine Yu said that she hadn't seen Miss Seven for three years, and she was very worried, so let the old slave come and take you into the palace to see you." ”

Lin Wan smiled back and said, "There is Father-in-law Lao Li, and Wan'er also misses Aunt Yu very much, so I will enter the palace with you." ”

At the gate, four tall brown horses, pulling a very magnificent dark purple carriage, stopped there, with the word "palace" written on the sign.

After Lin Wan and the two maids got into the carriage and sat down firmly, the carriage started slowly.

The carriage was very spacious, Lin Wan sat on the main seat with a thick brocade mattress in the middle, and Lu Liu and Qingtong sat on the seats on both sides. The carriage went all the way west, out of Xiangfu Street, and then north, towards the palace.

After about an hour, I calculated that the distance should be almost to the palace. Lin Wan gently lifted the corner of the curtain, saw that there was no one around, and looked at the empty place outside, and asked in a low voice, "Can you be?"

A gale wind as light and distant as a gentle wind immediately sounded in his ears, but it was very clear: "Miss don't worry, my subordinates are here." ”

Lin Wan didn't have any reaction when he looked at the green willow and Qingtong, and didn't seem to hear anything. Could this be the legendary sound transmission?

"Are you sure you won't be found when you enter the palace?" Lin Wan said in a low voice.

"Me and the Hidden Soul, yes. The gale sounded again.

"Okay, you and the hidden soul follow in, and the spirit sword and Yi knife are waiting outside the palace. ”

"Yes. ”

Lin Wan lowered the curtains of the car. A moment later, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Lin Wan lifted the curtain of the car to look out, the high palace wall, red wall and yellow tile, is twice as high as the palace wall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, estimated to be twenty meters high. On both sides of the gate of the vermilion lacquer copper ring, there are two teams of royal guards wearing armor, the gate is about ten meters high, and the four big characters of "Dafeng Imperial Palace" are written in the middle of the top, solemn and solemn. Looking further up, there are still soldiers guarding the city wall, no wonder only the Gale and Hidden Souls with excellent light skills can confidently follow up, but the Spirit Sword and Yi Sword, which are also highly skilled in martial arts, can only be left outside.

Gonggong Li showed the palace card, and the carriage continued to move forward. After entering the palace gate, he stopped again, only to hear Gonggong Li talking to someone in front, and after a while, Gonggong Li came to the carriage and said respectfully: "Seventh Miss, it's Commander Feng, routine inspection, can you lift the curtain and let him see?"

Lin Wan nodded to Green Willow, and Green Willow opened the curtain of the car, so that the three people in the car could be completely seen outside.

Ten paces in front of the carriage stood a tall and mighty bearded general, about thirty years old, dressed in a military uniform, who glanced into the carriage and stepped aside.

The green willow lowered the curtain and the carriage continued on its way, bypassing the vestibule of the palace from the right side to the front door of the harem.

"Miss Seven, please get out of the car and walk with the old slave to Yulin Palace. Father-in-law Li said outside the car.

Green Willow helped Lin Wan get out of the carriage, and Qingtong followed.

Entering the gate of the harem, the first thing you see is a large forest, a small stone paved path in the middle, some of the woods on both sides are apricot trees, the flowers are blooming brightly, some are plum trees, peach trees, and the flowers have been gone. Just like this harem, there are young and beautiful, there are those who have passed away, and there are those who have died......

Occasionally, there will be one or two small forks on both sides of the main road, and Gonggong Li carefully explains where these paths lead and which lady or nobleman lives while walking.

I was about to walk to the fork in the road leading to Yulin Palace, and at the bend in front, two young men in brocade clothes walked out, one wearing a blue robe, with a jade buckle belt around his waist and a golden crown on his head. The other was a little shorter, dressed in a blue dress, and was younger, but looked more sedate than the taller one. The tall man was followed by a little eunuch, and the short man was followed by a small servant, who was approaching him.

It was too late to avoid it, Gonggong Li glanced at Lin Wan with some panic, and whispered: "The taller one on the left is the second prince Zhou Tianming, born to the imperial concubine, and the younger one next to him is Liu Jinfeng Liu Gongzi, the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Liu." ”

After speaking, he hurriedly took a few steps forward, knelt down to say hello to the second prince, Lin Wan took two steps back to the side, knelt down, lowered his head, and did not speak, Qingtong and Luliu also knelt down next to her.

The second prince, Zhou Tianming, didn't notice them, and was about to walk over while talking to Liu Jinfeng.

The blue brocade robe, when passing in front of the green willow, suddenly stopped, stared at the slender waist and plump chest of the green willow for a while, a trace of interest floated on his face, and turned to Li Gonggong and said: "Whose young lady is this, what are you doing in the palace?"

"Back to the second prince, this is the seventh lady of Prime Minister Lin's family, who came to the palace at the invitation of Concubine Yu. Gonggong Li didn't raise his head, and replied respectfully and truthfully.

Zhou Tianming glanced at Lin Wan, who was kneeling in the middle, thin and slender, and couldn't see his face. He turned to the green willow again, stood half a step away in front of the green willow, and said, "You, raise your head." ”

The green willow trembled with fright, almost fell to the ground, and did not dare to raise his head.

Lin Wan sighed secretly in her heart, according to the development of the plot in the play, because Lu Liu was taken by Zhou Tianming, she was locked up and ruined for a few months, and when she was released, she was already unconscious, and finally committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. Zhou Tianming is not only lustful, but also psychopathic and ruthless.

But that should have happened three years later? Could it be because of Lin Wan's appearance and early entry into the palace, so history changed, and everything had to happen in advance?

Lin Wan raised his head slowly, smiled slightly, his face was pure, his eyebrows were smiling, his skin was like congealed fat, his lips were red and his teeth were white, although his facial features had not fully grown, he was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it. Just like the half-blooming lotus flower in the pond, people can't help but have a good wish to wait for the flowers to bloom.

As an actor, Lin Wan certainly knows how she is the most beautiful and how to show just the right amount of attraction.

Lin Wan saw that the two teenagers were already stunned, so he lowered his head, lowered his eyes, and said softly: "See the second prince, I have seen Liu Gongzi." ”

The sound is as crisp as a silver bell, like a birdsong, the sound is not loud, but it gives people the feeling of circling in the quiet forest of flowers and trees, and then hits the heart directly, waking up the two sluggish teenagers.

Liu Jinfeng hurriedly returned the salute and tried his best to behave like a polite and polite son.

Zhou Tianming stared at Lin Wan's face unabashedly, Lin Wan blushed and tilted his head slightly, so that Zhou Tianming could only see half of his side face and the shadow covered by his long eyelashes.

Zhou Tianming completely forgot about the green willow kneeling next to him, looked at Lin Wan and said, "Sister Wan'er doesn't have to be polite, please get up." As he spoke, he was about to stretch out his hand to help Lin Wan.

Lin Wan hurriedly got up, let Zhou Tianming's outstretched hand pass, and took two steps back to the side, allowing the green willow to completely leave the second prince's sight.

"This prince saw Sister Wan'er at Concubine Yu'er three years ago, I wonder if Sister Wan'er still remembers?" Zhou Tianming put on a look of wanting to slowly catch up with Lin Wan.

"The second prince forgive me, Wan'er is young and doesn't remember much. Lin Wan didn't want to delay here, and it was not good to go first, because he was worried that the second prince would see Lu Liu's face, and he would never forget it and refuse to let go.

Lin Wan glanced at Liu Jinfeng as if unintentionally, his big eyes that could speak were full of anxiety, anxiety and expectation, so that the clever Liu Jinfeng quickly found an opportunity to show favor to the beauty.

Liu Jinfeng's heart was like being blown by the spring breeze, and he stepped forward without hesitation, and said in Zhou Tianming's ear: "Second prince, we still have important things to do, and if it's too late, I'm afraid that we will let that person enter Beijing smoothly." ”

Zhou Tianming frowned, thought for a while, and nodded to Liu Jinfeng very unhappily.

"Sister Wan'er, then we'll have a date later. After Zhou Tianming finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, and when he passed by Lu Liu's side, he looked at it two more times, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Lin Wan, a little beauty, so he finally didn't force Lu Liu to look up, turned around and smiled at Lin Wan, thinking that he and Liu Jinfeng walked in the direction where Lin Wan and the others came in.

Lin Wan stood there, his head down, and didn't look up at them again. When the few of them walked away, Gonggong Li and Lu Liu and the others stood up. Green Willow was so frightened that her face turned pale and she couldn't speak for a long time. Gonggong Li wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, didn't speak, and continued to lead a few people towards Yulin Palace.

Lu Liu walked beside Lin Wan, and after his mood calmed down, he whispered to Lin Wan: "Miss, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, and I'm only afraid of the second ......prince in the future."

Lin Wan smiled at her, shook her head and said, "Don't be afraid, I know it in my heart." It's not your fault that you're beautiful, but luckily you haven't let him see your face yet. We all have to be careful in the future, it's better not to meet him again, especially you, you must not go out alone, understand?"

Lu Liu was a little embarrassed by Lin Wan's words, and nodded with a red face.

Finally came to Yulin Palace, there was a palace maid in her twenties standing at the door, it seemed that she had been waiting for a long time, seeing Lin Wan and others coming, she hurriedly ordered the little palace maid next to her to go in and report, and greeted her with a smile.

The palace maid in charge saluted Lin Wan and said, "The slave maid Qizhen has seen Miss Seven, the jade concubine has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow the slave maid in." ”

Gonggong Li retreated, and Lin Wan walked in with green willows and green tongs. Yulin Palace is very large, there is a large courtyard in the middle, there are flowers and trees, pavilions and water pavilions, and the scenery is pleasant. There are three halls in the courtyard, a side hall on each side, the middle is the main hall in front of the middle, and the plaque on the door is written "Yulin Palace" three big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.
