Gao handed the cloak to Hongshan, who opened the cloak and draped it over Zhuo Yijia's body and tied the strap on the neckline. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Gao Shi looked at Zhuo Yijia who was wearing a cloak and nodded, "I just said that it is suitable, and it will be good to wear it." ā
"Jia'er, have you packed up?" Zhuo Yiyu ran in, jumped over the threshold, and asked in a loud voice.
Zhuo Yijia took the stove handed over by Hongshan, looked at Zhuo Yiyu who came in and nodded, then turned his head to look at the heavy snow sprinkled outside the house, turned back to Hongshan and said, "Bring my snow-colored coat for backup." ā
"Yes. Hongshan turned around and walked over to the box and took out the snow-colored daze.
Zhuo Yijia looked at the Gao family sitting on the side, "Okay, let's go, auntie." ā
Today, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, officials above the fifth grade enter the Jinluan Hall to worship, and the official wives enter the harem to participate in the palace banquet.
Zhuo Yihan couldn't enter the palace, so the Gao family was ready to take Zhuo Yijia and everyone to the palace banquet.
got into the carriage and carried a group of Zhuo family members to the palace.
"You haven't been in the palace, don't run around when you enter the palace for the first time. Just follow me at all times. Gao looked at Zhuo Yijia and explained, "There are many rules in the palace, if you don't understand, ask me." ā
Zhuo Yijia sat in Gao's carriage and nodded against the wall of the carriage.
"Aren't you afraid?" Gao looked at Zhuo Yijia, who had a calm face, and asked abruptly.
Zhuo Yijia looked at Gao and did not speak.
Gao Shi looked at Zhuo Yijia and changed the topic, "You used to be like this before?" Gao Shi didn't know because she had very little contact with the girl in front of her before, or no contact at all.
Zhuo Yijia shook her head, "No. "She didn't lie in front of Gao.
"Before that, you would be scared at this moment. Gao's face was mild.
Gao remembered hearing a few words about the second room and the fourth lady before.
"She's a fool. ā
"Dumb, I haven't seen her speak. ā
ā......ā
For so many years, she listened very little. But she has a good memory, and she can remember it if she listens less.
Zhuo Yijia looked at the wall of the car with his eyes, and seemed to be looking out of the car again, thinking slightly.
If it was really Zhuo Yijia, would she be afraid? Is she really as cowardly and stupid as others say? Is she really as everyone said, her body is weak, her character is dull and cowardly, so how can she practice the music of the qin?
She didn't know how the real Zhuo Yijia was better than her, but she at least knew that she was different. Knowing that her heart is not what she appears.
"No, it won't. Zhuo Yijia glanced at the Gao family, and if he was Zhuo Yijia before, he would not be afraid to enter the palace to participate in the banquet. At least better than her, because she's afraid.
Zhuo Yijia pinched Jinpa's hand and tightened it under the wide sleeve. Gao thought that Zhuo Yijia would be afraid of entering the palace for the first time, but now she is not afraid. Contrary.
Every time the palace enters an inch, Zhuo Yijia's heartbeat is a little faster.
How can you not be afraid?
Zhuo Yijia closed her eyes, hid the dark surging emotions in her eyes, and gathered her cloak. Leaned back on the car and closed it.
If it weren't for what her father gave her that day, she would not have entered the palace at this moment.
Gao looked at Zhuo Yijia, but when she was a little tired from sitting in the car, she didn't say what she wanted to say. Wait for Zhuo Yijia to rest quietly.
There were soft cushions in the carriage, and there was no bump in the slightest, and after a while they arrived at the palace gate where the courtiers entered the harem.
As soon as I parked, I heard a lot of voices outside, and it seemed that the Zhuo family was not the only one.
Gao lifted the curtain in the corner of the window and looked out.
"Sun Xiang's carriage has also arrived. Gao looked outside and said softly.
Lowering the curtain, Gao turned his head to look at Zhuo Yijia who was leaning against the wall of the car, and frowned. She thought of what she had heard from the maid who had come back with her after the snow poetry party.
"Let's stay a little while and then get off. Gao looked at Zhuo Yijia and said softly.
Zhuo Yijia slowly opened her eyes, looked at Gao and nodded, "Listen to the eldest lady." She knew that Gao was afraid that she had thought of the conflict between her and Sun Yuruo at the Snow Appreciation Poetry Meeting.
Afterwards, Zhuo Yihan had already accompanied Princess Changping and Sun Yuruo. Later, the two families did not mention it, although they defaulted to the conflict between the children in the family, and the two families were important ministers of Nanshang, so it was impossible to tear their faces for the conflict between the two youngest daughters.
But after all, Sun Xiang's family only has two daughters, the eldest daughter Sun Yuqing is the same age as the former emperor Princess Zhenhui, and he also died of illness in the second year, leaving only Sun Yuruo, although she is the second lady of the Sun family, but she is the only daughter, and the eldest sister is also considered to be the grandson after her death.
If the Sun family sees Zhuo Yijia and gets into a quarrel when they get off the bus at this time, it is always troublesome, so they simply don't get out of the car.
Hua Taijun outside saw that Gao and Zhuo Yijia's carriage did not move, so he didn't see it, and politely exchanged a few words with Mrs. Sun Jiatai.
Hearing the movement outside, Gao lifted the curtain and looked at it again, and saw that the ladies of the Sun family had entered the palace gate, so he turned back to Zhuo Yijia and said, "It's all gone, let's go too." ā
As he spoke, he walked outside the car, and Zhuo Yijia followed behind and got out of the car.
Hua Taijun in front looked back at Gao and Zhuo Yijia who got out of the car.
The palace people who were waiting on the side took the daughters of the Zhuo family into the palace gate.
Gao walked next to Hua Taijun, slightly dropping the distance between his feet, Zhuo Yijia lowered his head and followed behind Gao An'an.
Zhuo Yijia looked to the side, she was very familiar with the road here.
Now the throne of Emperor Mingxian's harem is vacant, there is no one in the harem except Sun Guifei, there is no queen, Sun Guifei is the lord of the harem, and it is Sun Guifei who orders women to enter the harem to worship.
Zhuo Yijia followed closely behind Gao, thinking about the past. couldn't help sneering, when her father was the emperor, Sun Guifei and her mother competed for favor, but unfortunately she only went to her father's death and never entered her Zhaoyang Palace.
He has been alone in the empty house for many years, and now he is relying on King Qing's conspiracy to rebel, and the organs are exhausted, but he still does not live in Chengfeng Palace. What a joke.
The people of the Zhuo family were led to the Zhaoyang Hall by the palace people, and waited in the outer hall, and Sun Guifei was receiving the female relatives who entered the palace today one by one.
Zhuo Yijia's people were waiting in the outer hall, and the palace people made tea and waited aside.
Hua Taijun leaned back on the soft chair, with a soft cushion behind him, supported his head with his left hand, and took a nap with his eyes closed.
The courtiers in the back also arrived one after another. Occasionally, some people came to talk to a few ladies of the Zhuo family, but no one dared to come forward to disturb this old lady with a strange temper.
Gao, as the daughter-in-law of Zhuo's family, sat under Hua Taijun, and listened with a smile to the ladies who came to talk, occasionally picking up a sentence or two, or nodding slightly to show that he was listening carefully.
"On the third day of the New Year, you also went to Fanlin Temple to offer incense, but unfortunately, I didn't see it, and it's a pity. The wife of a fourth-grade official next to him smiled.
"The family is gone. Gao replied with a smile.
"This year, Mrs. Tai was awarded a product, and the eldest lady received the grace of God again, which is really a double happiness. Another lady from the fourth rank next to him continued.
"By the love of God. Gao still smiled faintly.
