Chapter 248: Entering the Palace (5)

"Dancing room?"

A palace maid looked at Xia Qing with some surprise.

"Yes, I'm looking for a dance room. ”

She patiently explained, "The first time I came here today, I said that someone would come to pick me up, but then I didn't come..... I'm lost......"

"You're a dancing girl, huh?"

"yes. ”

"But the dance room is in the opposite direction. ”

The round-faced palace maid pointed in the opposite direction of Xia Qing, "Follow this road all the way, and after passing the Zichong Palace, you will find the dance room." ”

"Ah, thank you. ”

Xia Qing looked at the round-faced palace maid Fu Fu, "If it weren't for your help today, I might not be able to find it until dark." ”

"You're welcome,"

The round-faced palace maid smiled and scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "I happened to be going to run an errand near the dance room, or you should follow me." ”

"Is that okay?"

Xia Qing looked at the round-faced palace maid in surprise, is there really such a good thing.

"Absolutely. ”

The maid smiled shyly and waved goodbye to her companion.

"Guys, I'll go on errands first, and I'll see you at dinner. ”

Xia Qing followed behind the palace maid, and along the way, she had seen many scenes several times.

It turns out that she has been spinning in place just now......

"Where's the girl?"

"Ah, I'm a ...... in the capital"

"Wow, no, you look so much like a girl from the Western Regions. ”

"Haha, but I'm really from the capital. ”

"Then you're so good-looking. If I could have half of you, I would be satisfied. ”

She turned her head and rubbed her nose in embarrassment.

The pink palace dress was gently blown by the wind.

The girl's somewhat rounded body was exposed.

Her face turned even redder all at once.

She desperately pressed down her skirt, "Haha, the girl let you see the joke haha, this demon ......."

"It's okay, let's hurry up, don't you still have to do something?"

Xia Qing didn't look over, didn't look at her embarrassed appearance.

"Yes, let's hurry. ”

The palace maid finally remembered that she was the one who wanted to do things.

She walked forward briskly to lead the way, and Xia Qing followed unhurriedly behind.

The two were speechless for a while.

The embarrassed appearance of the girl being blown up by the wind just now was still in Xia Qing's mind.

She couldn't help but purse the corners of her mouth.

This is a nice and simple girl, and she can't laugh at her.

"Girl, I'm here on an errand, I'm going in. You follow this path for a while and you turn a corner. ”

The maid stopped.

Xia Qing looked up and saw her standing outside a courtyard called Cuizhuxuan.

She smiled at the maid and plucked a small step from her head.

"There's nothing good for you, you can wear this, it's beautiful. ”

"No.... No, no.... Girl doesn't have to give me this..... Such a valuable ......"

The palace maid shirked the step in Xia Qing's hand.

Xia Qing directly broke her hand and put the step shake into her hand.

"You're welcome, I'm here today, and it's all thanks to you. This step is not valuable, don't shirk it. ”

The palace maid looked at her hand and shook a little heavily.

Seeing Xia Qing's firm gaze, it was not easy to refuse, "Then thank you, girl..... That's right..... What's your name?"

"My name is Natsu.... My name is Hibiscus. ”

Xia Qing bent the corners of her mouth, she still couldn't.

You can't tell her her real name.

This is the Royal Palace.

Even if she is such a kind girl, she still can't let her guard down.

She did not forget King Rui's admonition.

"My name is Pingzi. It's the palace people of this Cuizhuxuan. ”

She pointed to the door of Cuizhuxuan behind her, "You can find me for anything in the future." ”

"Okay, thank you, Pinko. ”

Xia Qing tugged at the burden on her shoulders and waved at Pingzi.

"I'll go first. ”

"Okay, Hibiscus. ”

Pingzi stood outside Cuizhu Xuan and waved at Xia Qing.

The bluestone road was a little potholed, and Xia Qing walked extra carefully.

Just along the way, she almost tripped to death.

Several times I almost fell into the mud with a dog.

"How can there be such a bad road.......

She couldn't help but muttered to herself.

Along the way, it was sparsely populated.

Xia Qing walked for so long, and he didn't see half a figure.

This area seems to be an isolated place.

As she walked, Xia Qing smelled a strong smell of sandalwood.

The smell grew stronger as she approached.

It's the same smell as in the temple.

A taste that makes people feel reassured.

She turned her head and saw that next to her was the Zichong Palace that Pingzi said.

The plaque of Zichong Palace looks to be many years old.

There are already cracks on it, and the three words Zichonggong have become a little dull and colorless.

The gate, which was supposed to be vermilion, has now faded and turned into a faint reddish-brown.

In a few places, you can even see the true color of the wood in the gate.

It is a remote and dilapidated palace.

Xia Qing couldn't help but be curious.

What kind of unlucky concubine would live here?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door that had fallen into disrepair was suddenly pushed open.

A palace man who was old at a glance slowly came out of it.

She was holding a washbasin in her hand.

She looked at Xia Qing, and Xia Qing looked at her.

The two stared at each other for a long time.

The palace man became as if he didn't see her, and splashed the water in the basin in his hand outward.

"Oops,"

Xia Qing hurriedly dodged the water in the basin.

"Grandma, what are you doing!"

She looked up and wanted to talk to the palace man for a few words, but found that the latter had already returned to the gate.

The door was closed by her again.

"Ahhh

Xia Qing lifted the corner of her clothes and found that the hem of her skirt was all wet.

She stared at Zichonggong indignantly.

Who lives in this palace!

How can you be so rude!

She turned her head and continued toward her destination.

Behind him, the door of the Zichong Palace was gently pushed open, revealing a small gap.

In the gap, a dark shadow observed Xia Qing's every move.

Until Xia Qing's figure disappeared around the corner, the door was closed again.

It's as if it's never been opened.

After passing by the unlucky Zichong Palace, Xia Qing felt that the small building in front of him that was not very luxurious, but it was not dilapidated at all, was so good.

Dancing room.

A small plaque hangs from the gate.

The small building has three floors, and the windows on each floor have pink veils waving out.

Xia Qing raised his head, and his neck was about to be sore.

"Who are you?"

A woman's voice came from behind him.

Xia Qing turned around and saw a woman in a green gauze dress.

The woman is tall and tall, with slender limbs, convex where it should be convex and concave where it should be. If you don't count her face, she is definitely a stunner that can make a man fall in love at a glance.

Her face was so ordinary, even a little ugly.

It's a pity to have such a body and such a face.

"What about you, girl?"

Seeing that Xia Qing ignored her, she was a little annoyed, and her tone was not as soft as just now.

"I'm ..... I'm here today, I'm Hibiscus ......."

Xia Qing hurriedly replied, and she hurriedly took out a letter from her baggage.

"That, are you Aunt Ning Ruo?"

"yes, it's me. But how do you know about me?"

"That's right, well, you should read this letter first. ”
