Chapter 219: Entering the Palace
Approaching the envoys of Western Chu to come to the court, the palace and the palace are very lively.
The day is April 19.
It is also the day when Zhang Ning, the daughter of the imperial history Zhang Ning, was hired idle, and Xia Shuying, the daughter of Xia Ran, entered the palace.
Early in the morning, Zhang Xia and the two mansions were very busy.
Just after the hour, the subordinates in the house began to work.
On the one hand, the gifts to be sent to the ladies in the palace are counted, and on the other hand, the two daughters are called to get up and dress up well.
Naturally, clothes and jewelry have been sent from the palace.
In this way, the two families don't have to bother dressing up, lest it be bad for anyone to compare who with whom.
This Xia Shuying and Zhang Xianpin are among the best beauties in the imperial capital.
Even if it is wrapped in light makeup, it is delicate and beautiful.
It's just that if you enter the palace like this, I'm afraid it will be rude.
Don't dress up too much in your clothes and jewelry.
Naturally, the two families had to think about something else.
Let's say makeup, let's say buns.
After dressing up, the two daughters began to wait.
Wait for the carriage from the palace to pick it up.
In order to look better when she entered the palace, Xia Shuying didn't eat anything early in the morning.
Naturally, this is a common way for young ladies to maintain their figure in the imperial capital.
When the sun was over, he saw the sun rise.
The hour passed little by little, but the palace did not come to deliver the news.
Xia and Zhang were very anxious.
However, after learning that the other party had not entered the palace, he was a little relieved.
"Master, otherwise, you will go into the palace and take a look?"
Mrs. Xia said anxiously.
Xia Shuying's brother also said the same.
But after thinking about it, Xia Ran thought that he couldn't enter the palace today no matter what.
After all, the emperor specially ordered it yesterday.
Today, even the court was exempted, so I didn't want to let them into the palace.
The king's heart is unpredictable, if he rushes in, if he offends the emperor, his daughter's life will not be easy in the future.
In case the emperor blames him for this and does not choose Xia Shuying, it will still be the same result.
Seeing that her father was embarrassed, Xia Shuying stepped forward and took her mother's hand and sat down.
"Mother, you have no jokes, since you said that you will enter the palace today, there will be no mistakes, and there will be no movement in Zhang's mansion."
She always has a smile on her face, which makes people look at ease.
Mother Xia looked at her daughter like this, but she didn't dare to worry.
Today, it was the daughter who thought about them.
Thinking about myself as a parent, I always feel a little guilty.
"Ying'er, you must be careful in everything, in the future, my mother will not be able to enter the palace to see you, you must, you must be careful."
Xia Mu said, with tears in her eyes.
The road ahead is long, if you can walk well, you will only die of old age in the palace.
If you don't go well, you don't know what will happen.
Xia Shuying didn't want to cry and put on makeup, so she could only comfort her mother a few words.
It was still Diecui who woke up, and Xia Mu reacted.
"Yes, yes, you can't cry, you can't cry, Shadow, my mother won't cry, and you can't be sad."
Today, it's like marrying a daughter.
The sun rose higher and higher, and another two or three hours passed.
Seeing that the sun was about to go west, the noon had passed.
The Xia family and the Zhang family were also more anxious.
Xia Shuying was quite calm.
It's just been for hours, and I'm always hungry.
Diecui wanted to persuade her to eat something, so she secretly brought some pastry preserves.
"Miss, just eat a little, I don't know when someone will come to the palace, what if you are hungry."
I didn't eat this breakfast, but it hurt my stomach the most.
But Xia Shuying was resolute.
She shook her head slightly, her eyes crooked with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I haven't eaten for half a day, you have to eat something quickly, go quickly."
She nudged her.
Diecui was worried and sad in her heart.
She knows the heart of her young lady best.
"Then, I'll take these with me, Miss, if you're hungry, tell me at any time."
Xia Shuying covered her lips and chuckled.
This little girl is really the most clever.
With her accompanying her to marry into the Regent's Mansion, in the future, she will not worry that Qiancheng will never like herself.
Even if the days in the future are hard, it will be more comfortable to have her by her side.
At this time, Qin Changhuan of Zhang's Mansion really didn't have such a good temperament and waited patiently.
Although she is anxious, she is not a bad thing.
said that he was going to tighten his hair in a bun, but he didn't ask anyone to follow, but secretly ate all the fruits and pastries in the room.
Think about how difficult it is to be a concubine, you can't eat a whole meal all day.
I don't know what's going on with me lately.
In the past, even if I didn't eat for a day, I didn't feel hungry.
But now, if you don't eat a meal, you feel uncomfortable.
There's always something to stuff in your mouth.
Think about it, I'm afraid it's a habit that fell in those days of East Ember.
I have nothing to do all day, so I can only eat and drink.
After moving out of the palace, the senior brother also called someone to deliver food and drink every day.
Think about her mouth, probably at that time.
On the way back to Beiyan, the senior brother also came to bring her food whenever he was free.
Along the way, he ate according to the hour every day.
Then, they entered the Hall of Eternal Life, and they had to follow Qin Chang'an and eat three meals a day.
It's been almost a few months since it went down.
She sighed, thinking to herself, no wonder she felt that her body had become heavier in the past few days.
Even the stomach has some meat.
"No, no, no."
She muttered and hurriedly put down the pastry in her hand.
Then wipe off the crushed pastries at the corners of his mouth with a clean handkerchief.
Coincidentally, at this time, the mother-in-law came to call her.
"Miss, is Miss okay, come out quickly, someone is in the palace!"
Listening to her voice, she was very anxious.
Qin Changhuan looked at the bronze mirror for a long time to confirm that there was no mistake, and then hurriedly opened the door and went out.
Zhang Ning and his wife have long been waiting in the courtyard.
The envoy in the palace walked slowly, looking leisurely.
Mrs. Zhang had already asked someone to prepare the silver, and the maid quietly sent it forward.
"Father-in-law, please take a cup of tea."
The envoy weighed it and nodded in satisfaction.
"Miss, how are you? Let's go on the road, there are already people in the Xia Mansion over there. ”
Zhang Ning and his wife hurriedly responded.
Zhang Xian was helped by someone to walk, dignified and virtuous, gentle as water.
"Hello father-in-law."
She bowed.
The envoy was very pleased.
"Okay, okay, Miss Zhang is polite."
He led Zhang Xian into the carriage in front.
It's just that I can't help but wonder in my heart, why is this idle job not quite the same as the personality in the mouths of others?
Along the way, it went well.
Entered the palace and entered the upper study.
The escorted father-in-law retreated.
At this point, Qin Changhuan can be regarded as seeing Xia Shuying.
is in the mouth of the ripples, the daughter of the summer mansion who loves a thousand cities.
It's just that she doesn't know whether Xia Shuying likes Qianchengjue or Zhan Yunyuan?
But if the senior brother takes off the skin on his face, I am afraid that he will be a hundred times more beautiful than Qiancheng.
At that time, it is difficult to guarantee that Xia Shuying will not be tempted.
She was thinking that Xia Shuying had blessed her body here.
"I've seen Sister Zhang, my name is Xia Shuying, if my sister is willing, you can call me Ying'er."
Qin Changhuan hates others calling him sister the most.
But the beauty in front of her was wearing a dark blue dress and a ladylike and dignified posture.
I couldn't get angry anymore.
"Okay, then, you can ask me to hire my sister."
So, that's what you've seen.
The two of them stood separately, but there was no one on the side.
Qin Changhuan didn't feel embarrassed.
She knew that this was Yan Heng's test.
He must not know where to hide at the moment, secretly watching the two of them.
It's just that I don't know when Qiancheng will come over.
With him, he may feel more at ease.
As she expected, behind a screen in the distance at this moment, Yan Heng was observing everything in the hall with Qianchengjue.
"Which one does Uncle Huang prefer?"
Yan Heng raised his eyebrows, his body was slightly tilted towards Qiancheng, and he deliberately lowered his voice.
"In terms of appearance, these two are comparable."
Qiancheng was absolutely noncommittal.
But Yan Heng's eyes were fixed on him, as if he had to give an answer.
In desperation, he had no choice but to raise his eyes slightly.
"Your Majesty, it's time for us to go out, we always hang people, for fear that spreading it will damage Your Majesty's reputation."
He arched his hand.
Yan Heng squinted slightly and sneered.
"Uncle Huang is right, however, I still have a few folds to review, why don't Uncle Huang go out and take a look on my behalf first, how about it?"
After that, he no longer gave Qiancheng a chance, turned around and left.
This subtle sound has been captured by Qin Changhuan.
It's just that when she looked over there, she saw a thousand cities.
probably saw that her gaze was wrong, so Xia Shuying followed and looked over.
The moment he saw the Thousand Cities, the starlight in his eyes instantly shone brightly.
But she must refrain from losing her dignity in front of the palace.
Zhang Xianping hid an imperceptible smile in the corner of his eyes, bent his knees slightly, and bowed towards Qiancheng.
"The courtier, Zhang Xianpin, has seen the regent."
Xia Shuying also hurriedly said something similar.
A thousand cities will never give up.
"I've seen the two girls, Your Majesty still has an unfinished excerpt, please wait patiently for a while."
Xia Shuying slowly lowered her head.
"Yes."
Qin Changhuan just smiled and didn't say much.
It's just that Qiancheng definitely doesn't seem to be planning to leave.
He called the people outside and moved three chairs.
"Your Majesty told the two girls to sit and wait."
With that, he sat down too.
Qin Changhuan didn't notice anything, so he sat down directly.
Xia Shuying owed her body very respectfully, and then sat down slowly.
"Your Majesty is really pure, and we have all thanked Your Majesty."
This sentence is to bring Zhang Xian Hire.
It's just that although she opened her mouth, the atmosphere was never active.
Qiancheng never spoke again, Zhang Xianpin didn't speak, and Xia Shuying naturally didn't dare to speak more.
If it falls into the name of being verbose, it will also be detrimental to the Xia family.
Yan Heng probably also felt very bored.
The three men sat separately, but they did not speak.
What's so interesting about this?
Of course, he also knew that this was all Qiancheng Absolute against him.
When he entered the imperial capital that day, he thought that he was finally more submissive.
Now it seems that he underestimated him.
In front of the people, he pretended to have a good reputation.
