Chapter 698: Entering the Palace
Tang Chu knows better than anyone that Yaoyao just wants to leave home, leave Suizhou, and go wherever she wants to go, see all the magnificent mountains and rivers, and see all the clouds.
"Miss, it's late at night, go in and rest!" Fluttershy and Double Happiness say in unison.
Now that Double Happiness is back, she still can't change her mind about Tang Chu, and when she's fine, she asks for warmth as before, causing Fluttershy to feel a little helpless.
Tang Chu smiled and followed the two of them into the room, and the moonlight was sprinkled on her body, as if there was a layer of golden light.
Tomorrow is another tough battle! Tang Chu thought before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
She has been in the palace before, it is a place where she has been there once and does not want to go in a second time, but this time is her first appearance, she must be prepared, a princess's birthday banquet, and even let her a fiancΓ©e go over, I always feel that there is something in it.
"The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth!" Tang Chu muttered, she has never been afraid of things, things are coming, and the solution is, the only thing that worries, the place she has to go to tomorrow is the palace, not a reasonable place, she must be cautious!
With all kinds of distractions in his heart, Tang Chu slowly closed his eyes.
In the afternoon of the next day, Zou Shiyan had already come to pick up Tang Chu into the palace.
In front of the palace officials, many ministers and their families have already come.
Basically, everyone's carriage is extremely gorgeous, as if it were comparing, and Tang Chu only brought Fluttershy today, as a maid who knows martial arts, her role is irreplaceable, especially in a dangerous place like the palace.
"Chu'er, don't be afraid when you go in, look for me if you have something!" Zou Shiyan instructed.
Tang Chu couldn't help laughing, "If we hadn't sat together at that time, I would have known that the men's and women's seats weren't in the same place!" β
"This ......" As soon as he said this, Zou Shiyan was a little worried, seeing that he was about to start scratching his ears and cheeks, Tang Chu hurriedly pressed Zou Shiyan's arm and said, "Don't worry, I can handle it myself, besides, isn't there still a bamboo concubine?" β
Tang Chu blinked, Zou Shiyan also thought of Zhao Zhenzhu, and his heart eased slightly, but he was still a little worried, in his heart, Tang Chu was entering the palace for the first time, and there were still many things he didn't know, although he had also invited a grandmother to teach Tang Chu these rules before, and Chu'er also learned very quickly, but as soon as the two separated, he was worried.
I always feel like something might happen today.
"Don't worry, if anything, Miss Ben is not the kind of person waiting for others to frame her!" Tang Chu said with a smile.
Zou Shiyan smiled, he knew that Chu'er had never been afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, which was one of the reasons why he loved her.
After getting off the carriage, I saw a lot of officials and nobles greeting each other, but after Tang Chu and Zou Shiyan came down, few people knew them, and they were all looking at them with puzzled eyes.
Suddenly, a person patted his head, "Look at my memory, this is not a heroic general!" General Zou, don't come unharmed! β
An official dressed as a civilian official came from not far away, Zou Shiyan didn't remember who this person was, but he was still ready to come forward to say hello.
At this time, Tang Chu pulled Zou Shiyan's sleeve and said softly, "This is Lord Liu, a fourth-grade official!" β
Zou Shiyan raised his eyebrows, how did Chu'er know?
However, he didn't doubt it, and hurriedly said, "It turned out to be Lord Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" β
Zou Shiyan's kind answer made others see it, and they also felt that this young general was not only not arrogant at all, but also very approachable, but he had met at the party before, and now he could recognize it, which was enough to prove that the General Zou in front of him was a person with a heart.
There are constantly people coming to say hello, some officials Tang Chu knows, so they remind them in a whisper, and some don't know each other, so they can only go over with haha.
"Miss Tang!" Another voice came.
Tang Chu thought that he had heard it wrong at first, how could anyone in this palace know him.
Suddenly turned around, and saw a familiar face.
It turned out to be Lord Zhao!
"Haha, Lord Zhao, don't come unharmed!" Tang Chu blessed his body.
Zhao Wanfeng was extremely surprised to see that this former little woman had come to the capital, so he took the initiative to come forward and exchange a few words, only to know that the heroic general next to him turned out to be Zou Shiyan, and now the two of them have a marriage contract, which was invited to the palace to participate in the birthday banquet of the fifth princess.
There were more and more carriages at the door, and there were already forbidden troops in the palace coming to manage them, and Tang Chu thought that this was not the right time to talk, so he interrupted the conversation, preparing to find time after entering the palace or wait until after leaving the palace.
Next, a large number of officials began to walk into the imperial city with their families, and the palace did not allow carriages to drive, so the ladies began to walk on their own, and Tang Chu mixed in the crowd without the slightest abruptness.
But someone had already noticed her.
"Look at the lady in the back, the makeup on her face is as if she hasn't been put on, what kind of rouge gouache is this? It's so natural, there is no trace at all, look at mine again, it was only done in the morning, and now it's about to take off the makeup! β
The man pointed in Tang Chu's direction, and the others naturally followed suit.
Tang Chu faintly felt that someone was staring at her, and after catching the gaze, she didn't know why these people looked back at her frequently, but she didn't make other expressions, but smiled slightly, and was generous.
"You see, the clothes she wears look good, too!" A young lady said.
"It's not, I don't think I've ever seen that material, it's so beautiful when it comes to it!"
There were constantly people secretly looking at Tang Chu, her rouge gouache, and the clothes she was wearing were all topics discussed by some young ladies, and she herself was ignorant of them.
The team walked for at least a quarter of an hour from the gate of the palace to the place where the banquet was held, Tang Chu had already separated from Zou Shiyan and came to the harem with these ladies.
Of course, there are 3,000 beauties in the emperor's harem, and it is impossible for all of them to visit, they first went to the palace where the queen mother is located, but the queen mother is very old, and now she is recuperating, and she doesn't like to see so many people all day long, so she directly let them salute outside the palace.
Next is the palace of Concubine Zhu and Concubine Yun, and there are some other concubines, but they are not as high as these two concubines, and most of these ladies who enter the palace are of high grade, and they don't need to say hello to those little concubines.
