Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hypocrisy

The south gate of the palace is far away, only the official lady can go to the north gate, the woman or the lady of the people is summoned to go through the south gate, and the prince and the official have to go through the west gate, only the emperor and the concubine can go to the east gate, the carriage drove a cup of tea, and then came to the palace gate, the little eunuch who had passed the message of Concubine Yun was already waiting there, and the fourth lady and Shui Lianyue were greeted off the carriage, and the carriage was waiting at the south gate.

Entering the south gate is not considered to have entered the palace, you need to pass through a long stone road, and only after passing through a gate and a hall can you enter the palace.

Walking on the cobblestone long stone road, Shui Lianyue looked around quietly, the layout here is very similar to the Forbidden City in Beijing, the tall and thick palace wall, the red background and yellow tiles, there are many palace gates, each palace gate is leading to a different place, just look at this long stone road, the guards who patrol back and forth, wave after wave, if you enter the palace, the guards are not more?

After the Chengkun Gate, I came to the Qianlin Palace, made a simple registration, and continued to follow the little eunuch behind him, and entered the palace, sure enough, as Shui Lianyue thought, there were more guards than the Changshi Road, and occasionally passed by a few palace maids and eunuchs, but seeing that they walked in a regular manner, they did not dare to look up at all.

Shui Lianyue couldn't help but admire, the palace is the palace in the end, even the minions are such rules, they dare not overstep it, and then look at those maids of the Shui family, which one is not arrogant and domineering like a master, hey, it seems that the sooner you want to leave here, the better.

All the way to Yunzhao Palace, the little eunuch bowed to them and said, "Rong Slave will pass it on."

The fourth lady nodded slightly, she had been in the palace, she naturally knew the rules of the palace, and she didn't say much, and after a while, the little eunuch came out, followed by a handsome palace maid.

"Madam, Miss, Concubine Yun is summoned, please come with the slave maid", the palace maid owes her body, and she is very polite, and her voice is as good as a yellow bird.

Because Hongying is also a servant, she can't Yunzhao Palace, so she has to wait outside, and Shui Lianyue supports the fourth lady to follow the palace maid in.

In the end, it is the concubine of the first emperor, this Yun Concubine has been in the palace for eighteen years, but her appearance and skin are very well maintained, her skin is like clotted fat, her cheeks are like peach blossoms, a pair of red phoenix eyes Liao Ruoxingchen, her red lips are ruddy, and she is wrapped in a gorgeous dress wrapped around her body, which is beautiful and moving, but she is dignified and magnificent, if she doesn't know her age, I'm afraid she is no different from a woman of eighteen or twenty.

This is Shui Lianyue's first impression after seeing Concubine Yun.

After saluting, Concubine Yun sent the palace maid away, took the hand of the fourth lady, and gave her a seat, the two of them were like sisters who had not seen each other for many years, chattering, because the mother had instructed Shui Lianyue in the carriage, so now she must half-bow her head and stand quietly in place.

After a long time, Concubine Yun seemed to notice Shui Lianyue's existence, and kindly pulled Shui Lianyue down in front of her, and said with a slight smile: "This is Yue'er, raise your head and let the palace take a look."

The voice is amiable, like a spring breeze, Shui Lianyue slowly raised her head, looked at each other, Concubine Yun was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help but exclaim: "The daughter-in-law chosen by this palace will definitely not be mistaken, Yingrong, you haven't disappointed this palace, you are a good match with Yu'er."

Shui Lianyue was also shocked, after looking at those bright eyes, according to her professional sensitivity, she found that there must be too many secrets hidden in them, and Concubine Yun will definitely not be as simple as it seems on the surface, just as Concubine Yun looked Shui Lianyue up and down, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes in an instant, and she was also able to see it all.

Shui Lianyue suddenly understood, Concubine Yun, pretending.

It's just that she doesn't understand, no matter what, she is just a concubine, no money, no power and no status, besides, Concubine Yun doesn't like her, why do she want to marry her to her son? In addition, rumors have been spreading in the capital in the past few days, and she has already been scolded by the world, why didn't Concubine Yun even ask or mention it?

There must be a lot of articles in this, but she didn't show it, in Concubine Yun's opinion, she was just a little shy.

Subsequently, Shui Lianyue was also given a seat by Concubine Yun, and instructed the palace maid to bring snacks and tea, and shook her head a little apologetically and said: "Look at the palace, I am happy to patronize it, and I even forgot to tell me about the tea."

Watching the palace maids put down the plate and then withdraw, Shui Lianyue was even more disgusted with the Yun Concubine in front of her, who didn't know the truth of serving tea when guests arrived? Even if she doesn't say it, don't the palace maids and eunuchs in her palace understand this truth? The mother has been in the palace, and she should know this, Concubine Yun made it clear that she didn't take them seriously, but she still had to pretend to be full of joy for their arrival, which made her extremely disgusting, and she just wanted to get out of here quickly.
