Going to the palace happened to pass by the Zhao Mansion, and it didn't take time. When I came, it was still early.

In order to avoid Zhao's mother's unnecessary worries, Rong Hua's entry into the palace was hidden.

As for Zhao Gang, she and her have rarely had the opportunity to communicate since they came to sweep the capital, and Zhao Gang always spends his days in the military camp.

The imperial palace is in the center of the capital, and the capital is not very large, and it took some time to get from the 13th Street to the palace gate at the speed of a carriage and horse.

The three merchants stayed in front of the palace gate and waited, and the Situ family was the last to come.

"You are the Situ family of Ancheng, the first time you entered the palace, you came so late, this palace is not smaller than your Ancheng, you can have no rules, be careful if you are not careful, you will die, I said such a sentence or two for your good, and I don't bother to say it until I put it aside." The same person who came to the competition actually taught others a lesson.

Rong Hua furrowed his good-looking eyebrows and glanced at the man. However, Master Situ and Situ Hao didn't seem to hear it, and stood quietly and straight in front of the palace gate.

She had seen another merchant, the brother and sister she had seen at the gate of the Golden Jade Hall before.

That brother is a keen person, Rong Hua just looked at him and noticed it, nodded and smiled at Rong Hua, and Rong Hua returned the salute.

Looks like a pretty good guy.

"Squeak" is the palace door opened, and an old eunuch led a little eunuch to pass the word: "Everyone, the emperor has a decree, please come with me, remember, don't look around, walk around, and open your mouth randomly." ”

Everyone followed the leader, and along the way, the red walls and yellow tiles, green trees, and the royal ** were revealed everywhere.

"Huh? These people look at the eyes, where did they come from? The people who spoke stood on the stone bridge like a moon, their thin shoulders let the green silk fall naturally, and they caressed the white cat in their arms, very loving.

Beauty is like a person in a painting.

"Hui Guifei, don't you remember? Today is the day when the emperor selects the imperial merchants, and they are all private pharmacists. "The woman who speaks is also elegant and vulgar.

"Oh, my big white, quick, don't let it fall into the water."

The well-behaved white cat broke free from the shackles of the beauty, and the fat body jumped down and ran fast, startling a group of people, and no one immediately wanted to chase after him, and he stumbled two steps and was stopped by the people.

"Wan Guifei, you can be careful, just let the people chase after you!"

The bridge suddenly turned over on its back, and the cat called Da Bai ran fast despite its fat looks, leaving everyone far behind.

"Go over there, chase after it." Looking at the cat is extremely important to Wan Guifei, Wan Guifei held her skirt and stared at the white cat for a moment with her eyes under the support of everyone.

The cat ran faster and faster, circled around, and ran straight towards Rong Hua.

Rong Hua was taken aback, and took two steps back, if it wasn't for Situ Hao beside him, he was afraid that he would have fallen to the ground, but the white cat suffered and rolled all over the dirt.

"Oh, Niangniang, your big white, bold, you know the mistake of stepping on Niangniang's cat!"

The girl in overalls, who was still elegant and vulgar a moment ago, twisted her face at this time, pointed her index finger at Rong Hua and said viciously.

"It bumped into it on its own, and it dared to quibble and give me a slap."

What is a catastrophe from heaven, this is it. I bumped into a cat while walking on a good road, and I almost fell down when I was killed, but in the end it was my own fault.

"What are you doing one by one, and you won't let me do it."

In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and a merchant with some silver money could kill people, not to mention the palace, Rong Hua regretted coming to the palace, she was afraid that it would be bad because she brought trouble to the Situ family.

While he was talking, two sturdy mothers-in-law came over to take someone.

The two sturdy mothers-in-law walked towards him menacingly, saying that they were not afraid was false. Rong Hua subconsciously hid behind Situ Hao.

"Why is the ink here? The emperor is still waiting. ”

The heavenly voice remembered that a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared around the corner, and the person at the head was the man who had a two-sided relationship with Rong Hua.

It's him! Rong Hua gently covered his rapidly moving heart and looked at him, it turned out that he was from the capital.

"Jing, Lord Jing."

The palace maid who was just on her toes took the lead and shouted in panic, and everyone behind her also knelt on the ground in an uproar, and Rong Hua, who had no time to react, was also dragged to his knees by Situ Hao. Only Wan Guifei was left standing straight.

Rong Hua quietly glanced up at the man, thinking in his heart that he should remember himself, after all, they had already met twice before, and the man looked around and everyone's eyes did not linger on him for long.

"That's right, let's go together to see the emperor, let's get up."

"Be careful when you see him later."

Fang Cai's brother who was smiling at Rong Hua at the door whispered to his sister, because of the proximity of the inside, Rong Hua could hear it clearly.

"Who is he?"

Rong Hua pricked up her ears to listen, she also wanted to know who that Lord Jing was.

"Ask what you want, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

The elder brother told the younger sister but was unwilling to explain the reason for the matter.

"Humph!"

The man who had just been at the gate of the palace only snorted softly.

Everyone's reaction was very strange, and Rong Hua quietly asked, "Situ Hao, do you know Master Jing from Fang Cai?" What is his official position? ”

"I think you should think about whether we can win for a while, and you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, shhhh

Situ Hao easily avoided Rong Hua's question and made a silent gesture.

"But he just saved me."

"Rong Hua, you have to believe me, he didn't mean to save you, huh?" Stared at with serious eyes, Rong Hua nodded subconsciously.

Jing Zhan walked fast by himself, and everyone also quickened their pace and followed behind him not far away.

Through the layers of buildings, heavy courtyards, finally in a palace that seems to be shrouded in a curling mist, it seems to be unreal, the palace is red vermilion lacquered gate top hanging black gold silk nanmu plaque, on the dragon flying phoenix dance of the inscription of these three words "Daming Palace".

Shocked by the majestic and magnificent palace, everyone continued to walk towards the palace with slightly sluggish steps.

On the top of the hall is the Song Emperor, and two rows of low tables are set up on both sides of the main hall. In the warm spring-like hall, there are luthiers who are playing the qin, and there are also palace maids who are serving tea.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"Flat, it's all hard, where are you from?"

"The grass people are the Situ family of Ancheng"

"The Jiang family in the capital of the grass people"

"Hangzhou Li Family"

It turned out that the brother and sister were from Hangzhou, no wonder the sister looked so petite and cute, and the water in Hangzhou was good for raising people.

"Yes, sit down, you don't have to be restrained today, just as usual. Jing Aiqing also sits. ”

Rong Hua looked up at Emperor Song, a very handsome and kind middle-aged man. Looking at Situ Hao beside him, he pulled his sleeves, "Don't look directly at Long Yan." ”

Although everyone got up early and hurried early, they were delayed on the road for some time, and they delayed a lot of effort in front of the palace gate, so it was now close to noon. Looks like I'm going to stay at the palace for lunch.

It was very warm in the main hall, except for the emperor, the rest of the people sat directly on the cushions in front of the table. The table is very low but it is just right to sit on the ground, a table can do just two people, Rong Hua and Situ Hao sit together, and Master Situ is naturally with the doctor of the Situ family.

There is tea on the table, and there is a plate of grapes, the big bowl with grapes looks very good, Rong Hua can't name it, but it is extremely good-looking, the white jade bowl is as white as fat and inlaid with complex patterns with gold, and there seem to be words engraved inside, the words are too small to see clearly, Rong Hua stretched his neck and leaned forward only to find that the words inside did not know, it seemed to be Tibetan. I simply didn't look at it, picked a grape and put it in my mouth and tasted it, it was very sweet, but it was a little unfresh after a long time.

The emperor's posture on the high platform clearly saw the scene under the stage, and the movements of the little girl were a little abrupt in the crowd sitting in danger.

"That girl belongs to the Situ family?" The emperor suddenly became interested.
