Chapter 247: Audience (1)
In the middle of the night, it snowed heavily.
When the third watch got up, it was not yet dawn, and the ground outside was already covered with a thick layer of snow.
While Bai Yu was grooming Ling Jingshu, she whispered worriedly: "Miss, the snow will probably not stop for a while." It is also inconvenient to travel by horse-drawn carriage in this weather! ”
Ling Jingshu sighed lightly: "This can't be helped. Not to mention the snow today, even if the hail falls from the sky that can kill people, this palace must be visited. ”
Bai Yu also knew that it was useless to complain, so she carefully groomed Ling Jingshu, and told Qiaoyun: "You go to the cabinet and bring that mink fur cloak." ”
When you go out in such a cold weather, you have to wear thicker.
Qiao Yun responded, and quickly came over with a mink fur cloak and put it on for Ling Jingshu. Bai Yu carefully prepared a hand stove for Ling Jingshu to warm her hands.
Rao is like this, the moment she pushed the door open, Ling Jingshu couldn't help but shrink back.
It's really cold today. The cold wind mixed with flakes of snow was coming, and the cold was biting.
Ling Jingshu hurriedly stopped and said in a low voice, "Bai Yu, you and Qiaoyun hurry back to the house, find a thick cloak to put on, and then come out." ”
Bai Yu's heart warmed, but he smiled in his mouth: "Miss, don't worry, the slave has thick skin and thick meat, and it is not cold at all." ”
The young lady wears a mink cape when she goes out, which is both warm and good-looking. How can there be a maid who also wears a cloak, not to mention that it is cumbersome and inconvenient to walk, and it is really unpleasant for people to look at.
Qiao Yun also smiled: "Bai Yu is not too cold, and slaves have practiced martial arts for a few years. More resistant to the cold than ordinary people, Miss doesn't have to worry. ”
The two maids insisted on refusing, and Ling Jingshu had no choice but to give up.
After arriving at the inner hall. Sun was already fully dressed. The makeup is a little more solemn than usual, and the jade head on his head is shining.
Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu arrived in the inner hall almost at the same time, and when they saw Sun's family, Ling Jingyan's naughty heart became bigger, and she joked with a smile: "Mother, you are finally willing to take out this set of head jewelry at the bottom of the box and wear it." ”
winked at Ling Jingshu again: "This is my mother's dowry when she got married." On weekdays, I want to see more than a few times, but my mother refuses. ”
Ling Jingshu smiled dumbly.
∽dǐng∽diǎn∽小∽ said,.≥.o≠s_(); Take a closer look, Sun's set of jadeite head jewelry is indeed a rare treasure. Emerald green in color. The carving is exquisite, and it is by no means ordinary.
The Sun family was in a very good mood, and he didn't bother with Ling Jingyan: "Okay." It's not too early, and there is no room for delay. Let's go now! ”
……
The sky is about to dawn, but the wind and snow have not stopped, and there is even a tendency to become more and more intense. The snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker. The carriage simply couldn't get up on the road.
Sun entered the palace for the first time in his life. lest I be delayed, and from time to time I lifted the curtain and looked out. From time to time, he muttered: "It snows every year in the capital, and it hasn't snowed like this for several years." ”
"There was such a thick snow on the road that the carriage had to go slowly. If you do this, I'm afraid it's going to be late......"
"Mother, don't talk about it." Ling Jingyan had a headache when she heard it, and couldn't help but say something to forgive: "I kept talking all the way, my ears were almost calloused." ”
Sun didn't know whether to be angry or laughing. glared at Ling Jingyan.
Ling Jingshu smiled and started a round: "In this kind of weather, it is really not suitable for travel. It's not just us. The same goes for the other people who enter the palace. Even if it's late, the queen won't be surprised. ”
It sounds much more pleasing to the ear.
Sun's heart suddenly calmed down, and his restless mood calmed down.
At about the end of the day, I finally arrived outside the palace gate.
Far from the palace gate, the carriage stopped.
Sun glanced at it and couldn't help but exclaim: "There are so many carriages!" ”
Ling Jingshu also followed Sun's gaze.
In the open space outside the palace gate, the carriages of various provinces lined up in an orderly manner. After the guards guarding the palace gate asked and checked one by one, the female dependents could get off the carriage and enter the palace gate.
There were many palace maids standing in the palace gate, and when the female dependents entered the palace gate, a palace maid came over and led the female dependents to the palace.
Ling Jingshu looked at it for a while and said, "According to this posture, we still have to climb for half an hour. ”
Sun is now calm: "Anyway, they're all lining up here, it's not too late." Just wait slowly. ”
Sure enough, it took nearly half an hour for their turn.
When I got out of the carriage, the snow was finally a little lighter. Snowflakes fall on the face, and there is a chill.
The guards and palace maids guarding the gate were not smiling, and the tall vermilion palace gate and high walls inexplicably made people feel depressed. Although Ling Jingyan's temperament was lively and jumpy, at this moment, she involuntarily became timid, and subconsciously approached Ling Jingshu.
Ling Jingshu noticed Ling Jingyan's strange appearance, quietly reached out and held Ling Jingyan, and whispered to reassure: "Don't be afraid, no one will stare at you, don't be so restrained." ”
Ling Jingshu had been holding the hand stove before, and her hands were still warm.
The confusion and uneasiness in Ling Jingyan's heart finally subsided slightly. Thinking of Ling Jingshu entering the palace alone a few times, she was not afraid in the face of Queen Xu and Wei Jieyu, and she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.
Mother is right.
Compared with Ah Shu, she is really far behind.
……
Nothing to say all the way.
Quietly and silently, he followed the palace maid to the Jiaofang Palace. However, at this time, he is not qualified to enter the main hall for an audience. The palace maid led Sun and the others to the side hall to wait.
The side hall is slightly smaller than the main hall, but it can also accommodate dozens of people. The furnishings are luxurious and exquisite, and there are charcoal basins burning in several corners, mixed with elegant sandalwood, which is warm and very comfortable.
The maids were not qualified to enter the side hall, so they could only wait in another empty room.
At this time, there were already many people in the side hall.
At a cursory glance, there are also a few familiar faces.
As soon as Sun's eyes swept away, he saw the British duchess, the girl beside her was delicate and bright, it was Jiang Rongyue.
The Sun family hurriedly led Ling Jingyan and Ling Jingshu forward.
Since the wedding date of Jiang Rongyue and the imperial grandson was set, the British government has become more powerful than before. As soon as Jiang Rongyue's mother and daughter stood there, everyone gathered around to speak, quite a bit of a star-studded posture holding the moon.
Sun waited patiently for a moment before waiting for an opportunity to greet him.
When the British duchess saw Sun and his party, she was also a little surprised. On his face, he didn't show half of it, and he chatted with Sun with a smile, sighing at the heavy snow that was rare in several years.
After Jiang Rongyue got married, her lively temperament was stiffly restrained a lot, and she smiled at Sister Ling Jingshu: "I didn't expect you two to enter the palace today." ”
Ling Jingyan and Jiang Rongyue were more familiar, and responded with a smile: "Yes! Yesterday, the queen mother specially sent a phoenix decree to the Ling family, and we were also surprised when we received the phoenix decree! ”
As he spoke, another familiar figure came into view. (To be continued.) )
