Chapter 32: The First Entry into the Palace

In front of the General's Palace, in the golden sunlight, the reflection of an elegant carriage swept on the ground, the carriage was wrapped in fine silk on all sides, and the windows were obscured by a curtain of pale blue crepe, so that no one outside the carriage could not get a glimpse of the passengers in the speeding carriage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The smoke wind lifted the delicate curtain woven of silk, revealing a corner of reverie and temptation, but saw a touch of snow white looming in the corner of the lifted. Immediately, a pair of slender jade hands opened the curtain, as if unveiling the charming and elegant and confused veil, the hands, the fingertips slightly upturned, slender as onions, nails as pink as jade, complexion as snow.

The carriage was followed by a column of heavily armed guards, each with a long sword at their waists, and black horses drove by, their eyes looking intently ahead.

In front of the carriage, Ye Du rode a white horse, bypassed the window, and reminded: "Little sister, put down the curtain of the car, don't let others see who is sitting in the car." ”

"Yes, big brother." The night withered grass lowered the curtain, folded her hands on her thighs, and closed her eyes to recuperate.

The carriage drove for a long time, passed a checkpoint, entered the capital, the indispensable place of fireworks, but the wooden plaque hung on the show is not looking for fun, the street is very lively, a peaceful.

Along the way, unimpeded, entering the first gate of the palace, the spear of the guard in front of the guard, only to see a swaying figure in the distance walked forward, and when I looked closer, it was a eunuch with a delicate face and smiling eyebrows, the thin body was dressed in meticulous eunuch clothes, the waist was naturally slightly bent, and the fingers overlapping in front of him were holding a slight orchid finger, and he whispered to himself: "The old slave has seen the young general, but the piano master in the car?" ”

"Exactly, General Ben is about to escort the violinist to the West Palace, and the concubine is waiting to be summoned, I don't know what happened to my father-in-law here?" Yedu said, jumping off the white horse.

The eunuch explained: "The little ones are ordered by the queen to go to the east palace for all the luthiers who enter the palace today, and the queen is waiting to see if their piano skills meet the requirements." ”

"This ......" Ye Du was embarrassed, knowing that the two ladies of the East Palace and the West Palace were not compatible, this was clearly for the concubine Niangniang, I am afraid that the piano master was just an excuse.

The eunuch no longer continued the verbal dispute, took out the token, held it high in front of the young general: and said in a firm tone: "Trouble the young general, please ask the violinist to get off the carriage!" The old slave is still waiting to go back to his life. ”

Ye Du recognized that this token belonged to the queen's mother, so he had to obey the order, walked to the car window, and whispered: "Dry grass, get off the carriage, you go to the East Palace with your father-in-law first, and I will pick you up." ”

The night withered grass in the carriage was already asleep, snoring with its head tilted, chewing in its mouth, and snoring came out of the window.

Ye Du glanced at the eunuch, lifted the curtain of the car in embarrassment, and called: "Wake up the dry grass!" Don't sleep. ”

"What's the matter? More on that tomorrow. The night withered grass turned impatiently and went back to sleep.

The eunuch cast a puzzled look, Ye Du's face turned green, he bent down to pick up the small gravel on the ground, and pinched it and flicked it at the door of the night withered grass.

"Wow! Oh! The night withered grass jumped to his feet, hit the roof of the car, covered his head, jumped out of the carriage excitedly, glanced left and right, and immediately fell into embarrassment, not knowing how to round the field.

Ye Du coughed lightly, glanced at the night withered grass, and whispered: "The eunuch in front was sent by the queen mother to pick you up to the East Palace, you are careful in everything, and I will pick you up when you are done, don't get into trouble, remember to endure." ”

Night Withered Grass looked at Ye Du in fright, and said in a slurred mouth, "It's not to see ...... How do you have anything to do with the queen's mother, I ......"

Ye Du pushed the night withered grass behind his back and muttered in a low voice, "You go over quickly!" Don't make the eunuchs suspicious. ”

"Please go to the East Palace with the violinist, the young general can rest assured, and when the queen finishes appreciating the piano art, the slave will personally send the piano master back to the concubine." The eunuch said.

Night withered grass walked over nervously, grabbed the corner of his clothes with both hands, turned his head to look at Ye Du, he waved his hand, signaled me to leave quickly, and reluctantly followed the eunuch away.

The solemn palace rises the splendid golden top, depends on each other, the height is staggered, the scales are one after another, looking at it from afar to attract people to worship, the golden glazed tile heavy eaves of the palace is shining with dazzling light in the sun, making people confused, unable to distinguish the direction of the east and west, looking at this magnificent palace, the night withered grass sighs in his heart: "This is the palace, this is the palace that people can enjoy all the glory and wealth in their mouths, high and high, and cannot be eternally honored." ”

"The front is the East Palace, you can't look around, and you can't look directly at the queen." The eunuch reminded.

Night Dry Grass nodded, reached out and touched the veil, and after making sure it was stable, she asked in a low voice, "I don't know if the queen has any instructions for summoning her?" ”

"Is this what you should ask? Pay attention to your identity, no one taught you the rules in the palace? The eunuch scolded.

Night withered grass lowered her head, but she was speechless, the rules in the palace are really not for people, and she talks about this at every turn, it seems that the queen is not very friendly.

"The old slave asked you!" The eunuch continued to ask.

Night withered grass replied hesitantly: "Follow your father-in-law's teachings, and you must pay attention to your identity. ”

"Even if you know each other, if you offend the queen, even if the concubine can protect you, your life will not be easy." The eunuch deliberately accentuated the word queen.

Night withered grass followed the eunuch into the courtyard of the East Palace, and in front of him stood a woman with a graceful and noble temperament and a majestic body, she looked very young, she was wearing a golden cloud embroidered with a phoenix, a yellow ancient pattern double butterfly cloud-shaped thousand water skirt that dragged the floor, holding a mist veil of Bixia Luo peony, a cloud bun, wearing a five-phoenix Chaoyang hanging bead hairpin, her face was as charming as the moon, her eyes were shining, and she was sultry.

Beside the sixteen-year-old woman, wrapped in a light blue dress, draped in a white gauze robe, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, the skirt pleats are like snow and moonlight, flowing lightly on the ground, more than three feet long, making the gait more graceful and soft, three thousand green silk tied up with a hairband, a butterfly hairpin on the head, a wisp of green silk hanging on the chest, thin powder, only increase the color, the faint red feeling on the cheeks creates a kind of pure skin like petals as delicate and lovely, the whole person is like a butterfly flying with the wind, and like a clear and transparent ice and snow……

"See the queen's mother, the old slave brought the violinist." The eunuch knelt on the ground and bowed his head in worship.

When Ye Ku heard the eunuch call the woman the queen's mother, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "See the queen's mother." ”

"The violinist stays, and the other minions step back first." The Empress ordered.

The servants around the queen received instructions and all retreated, and only the night withered grass and the women around the queen were left in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was quite tense.
