Chapter 40: Entering the Palace (2)

The carriage of the Marquis of Weining is spacious and gorgeous, and the horses pulling the carriage are all snow-white, tall and godlike.

Xu Zheng and Ji Ze shared a car, and Xu Jinyu got into the second carriage with Xiao Zou and others.

Zou stood at the door, watching the two carriages go away, as if he had seen the scene of the nobles favoring Xu Zheng after entering the palace

Mother Li knew the Zou family's thoughts best, and said with a smile: "Madam, if the young master enters the palace this time, if he is lucky enough to meet the emperor and get the emperor's other eyes, he will definitely rise to prominence in the future." ”

Zou Shi listened with a smile all over his eyebrows: "I hope so!" If Zheng'er can have a chance and shine on the lintel, I will go underground in the future, and I will have the face to see the master. ”

After her husband Xu Han died, Zou put all her hopes on Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng was originally studious and progressive, but now he is even more diligent and hardworking. With Xu Zheng's talent, there is a chance that he will be able to pass the exam in this year's autumn season. She was full of hope that Xu Zheng would be able to get a good ranking in the exam, so she had the cheekiness to bring a pair of children to join Xiao Zou.

Even if you want to look at your face once in a while, it's worth it.

"Fortunately, I came to the capital that day." Zou laughed in a low voice: "This time, with the light of the Hou Mansion, Zheng'er and Jinniang have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the nobles." ”

Mother Li smiled and whispered: "Yes, for the sake of the young master's future, even if you suffer some grievances on weekdays, it is worth it." ”

Zou furrowed his brows, his eyes shining with hope and joy

The streets of Bianliang City are wide and flat, and the carriages move very smoothly.

It was quiet at first, but gradually, a voice came from outside the carriage. The shouts of the guys in the restaurant and teahouse, the shouting of the vendors, and the talking and footsteps of passers-by are very lively!

Ji Yu couldn't sit still, quietly lifted the car curtain, and before she could look out, Xiao Zou's displeased scolding came from her ears: "Put down the car curtain, sit down and don't move." What did I tell you this morning, did you take it as a deaf ear? ”

Ji Yu put down the curtain and sat down.

Xiao Zou made a straight face: "Today is not more than usual, you have to be cautious in everything you say and do." After entering the palace, there must be no indecent or reckless behavior. If you lose face in front of Concubine Xian, come back and see how I clean you up. ”

Ji Yu's cheerful joy of entering the palace was mostly extinguished by a reprimand, and she responded wistfully: "I know, I promise to be careful." ”

Xiao Zou looked at Ji Yu's appearance, and he was angry.

In terms of appearance, Ji Yu is not bad. But this kind of bearing and self-cultivation are far inferior to Ji Yu. Now there is Xu Jinyu, who has a quiet and gentle temperament. After they got into the carriage, they sat upright all the time, and they didn't even move their fingers.

This comparison makes Ji Yu's rough temperament not calm enough.

The daughter of the dignified Hou Mansion was compared to the daughter of a little Lin'an Tongzhi

Xiao Zou pressed the anger in his heart and tried to calm down.

There are only two opportunities to enter the palace a year, except for entering the palace to meet Queen Ye on the New Year, it is the birthday of Concubine Xian. On such an important day, you can't get angry and angry, lest something go wrong with your words and actions

The palace has a total of six gates, which are divided into three gates in the south and three gates in the north.

In the middle of the south three gates is the Xuande Gate, the east is the Donghua Gate, and the west is the Xihua Gate. The three north gates are Gongchen Gate, Xuanyou Gate, and Xuanhe Gate. These six palace gates are guarded by forbidden troops. Entry and exit are all based on waist cards, and they are heavily guarded.

After traveling for more than half an hour, the carriage of the Marquis of Weining stopped at the Xuanhe Gate.

There is Ji Ze to take care of entering the palace, and Xiao Zou and the others just need to sit in the carriage and wait quietly. About a stick of incense, the Xuanhe Gate opened the palace gate.

The carriage could only be parked outside the palace gate, and Xu Jinyu got off the carriage with everyone. Entering the palace gate, there are high palace walls and long passages, which seem to have no end in sight, making people unconsciously hold their breath.

Even Ji Yu, who has always been the most daring, tried her best to lighten her pace.

A palace maid in a light green palace dress waits inside the palace gate.

This palace maid is about twenty years old, with long eyebrows and thin eyes, and her appearance is not very beautiful, but she has a reserved and elegant bearing. The green-clothed palace maid stepped forward with a light smile: "Concubine Xian Niangniang specially ordered the slaves and maids to come to greet her, and asked the prince and the lady to go to Changle Palace with the slaves and maids." ”

Ji Ze smiled gently: "There is Miss Lao Liuli." ”

Liuli is Concubine Ji Xian's personal palace maid and Concubine Ji Xian's confidant. Even if it is Ji Ze, he will never slack off when he sees Liuli, and he is polite and polite.

Liuli smiled slightly: "This is a matter within the slave's share, why is it hard." A pair of wonderful eyes glanced at Ji Ze intentionally or unintentionally, before turning around and leading the way.

Xu Jinyu looked at the slender figure of Liuli, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart.

Ji Ze's handsome and gentle face, I don't know how many women have been deceived into secretly promising him in his previous life, isn't he also one of them?

Xu Zheng walked behind Ji Ze, and while everyone was not paying attention, he quickly glanced back at Xu Jinyu. Seeing that Xu Jinyu was calm and calm, he was relieved.

Xu Jinyu noticed her brother's small movements, and a strong warmth welled up in her heart

There was silence all the way. The palace maids and eunuchs came and went, all quietly, and no one was noisy.

When they arrived outside the Changle Palace, everyone stopped. Liuli whispered to the palace maid guarding the door to go in and pass the ceremony, and after a while, the palace maid turned around and whispered a few words in Liuli's ear.

Only then did Liuli smile and say to everyone: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is in the main hall, please go with the slaves and maids to meet you." ”

Concubine Ji Xian gave birth to a prince and a princess, and her status in the har~palace is second only to Queen Ye. Today is Concubine Ji Xian's birthday, and all the concubines in the palace have come to Changle Palace with gifts to celebrate her birthday.

In the main hall of Changle Palace, there were bursts of laughter.

Ji Yu is usually bold, but at this time, she was cowardly, and her legs trembled and softened unconsciously. But the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, and when you step into the threshold, you are careless and almost step on the corner of your skirt.

Finished!

Ji Yu panicked. Fortunately, a hand grabbed her arm in time to stabilize her figure, so that she would not make a fool of herself on the spot.

In just an instant, Ji Yu was already in a cold sweat. Subconsciously look to the side.

Xu Jinyu withdrew her hand with a calm expression. entered the palace together, Ji Yu made a fool of herself, and everyone would be faceless

Sitting at the top of the main hall is a beautiful woman in gorgeous costumes.

The makeup is exquisite, the appearance is beautiful, and the style is myriad, only the shallow wrinkles at the corners of the eyes slightly reveal the age. Although he is over forty years old, he is extremely well maintained, and he looks like he is about thirty.

This woman is the biological mother of King Qin and Princess An Ning, and Concubine Ji Xian, the aunt of Ji Ze's in-laws.

Xiao Zou was the first to step forward and saluted respectfully: "Concubine Zou, please say hello to Concubine Xian." ”

Xu Jinyu saluted with Ji Yu and others.

In her previous life, she worked hard to have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and presented the evidence that had been hidden for eight years in front of the Queen Mother, avenging her blood revenge.

Unexpectedly, in this life, he entered the palace lightly.

The world is unpredictable, nothing more than this.

Since the moment she was reborn, many things have quietly changed. You must not be negligent just because you know the qiē of your previous life
