Chapter 33: Entering the Palace
"Chen Ji's osmanthus cake?" Shen Cangxu was stunned by the label of osmanthus cake, "You have a heart." β
This osmanthus cake is very difficult to buy, and I think the youngest daughter got up early in the morning before queuing up to buy it.
And she didn't mention anything else, only said that he stayed in the study because he was busy with official business, saving him enough face...
Looking at the sensible little daughter, the sorrow in Shen Cangxu's heart was suddenly diluted a lot.
Son's business, take your time.
...
"The third girl went in just now, she came to persuade the master?" Begonia looked back and looked twice.
"It's not." Shen Lanxi said lightly, "She is much smarter than the second sister, she should understand that persuading her at this time will only backfire." β
"And sheβ" Begonia frowned.
"What she's going to do, it's not for us to worry about for the time being." Shen Lanxi raised his eyes to look at the carriage parked outside the vermilion gate, and said softly, "We should now focus on the draft." β
She pursed her lips: "The Shen family is not a good place, I must be selected." β
In the Shen family, she is helpless, if she continues to live in the Shen Mansion with A-Niang's dowry, maybe she will be taken away by the Cui family by means in the future.
Cui Shi also has a young daughter who is the age of a golden hairpin.
"That's right." Hearing this, Begonia also became nervous.
She also understands that the best way for the girl now is to enter the palace.
Cui's mother and daughter must have hated her teeth when she was put on a position like this by the girl. If the girl can't enter the palace, then this so-called mother-in-law may arrange what kind of family affair for the girl to suppress people in the future.
By then...
Haitang bit her lip, carefully helped her girl into the carriage, and sensibly stuffed a dime of silver into the waiter who came to pick up people in the palace: "It's troublesome father-in-law." β
The waiter picked up the silver without a trace, and said with a smile: "The girl is polite, this is all the slave's business." β
As he spoke, he carefully reminded: "Later, the girl will have to remind your master that after this carriage enters the palace gate, you must not lift the curtain and look around, and..."
A few words of advice were written down and relayed to Begonia.
In the process, the carriage also traveled to the end of Qingyun Street - the Imperial Palace.
The three-zhang high vermilion palace wall shows its magnanimity, and the glazed tiles of lacquer gold dye the city with a splendid color.
The imperial city under the morning sun, wrapped in halo, solemn.
Seeing that the majestic city was approaching, Shen Lanxi lowered the curtain according to the reminder and sat quietly in the carriage.
Although she had been mentally prepared, she couldn't help but cinch her cuffs when she heard the guards outside tell her intentions.
In the end, she is still a seventeen-year-old girl, and when she goes deep into the palace gate, her mood is naturally indescribable.
But Shen Lanxi was not too pretentious, she understood that the burden on her shoulders did not allow her to be weak.
Closing her eyes, she forced herself to calm down and follow the guidance of the palace people step by step.
In the blink of an eye, a day passes.
The sky was covered with clouds and clouds, turning the sky into a brilliant crimson color.
Xiao Ciyu, who had been busy all day, finally remembered what day it was at dinner.
"Zhou Deshun, today is the day when the show girl enters the palace?"
Zhou Deshun: "..."
Co-author: Are you just thinking about it now?
His Majesty doesn't let people worry, and Manager Zhou can't help it. Even though he was tired, he still had to smile and greet him: "Back to Your Majesty, it's today." β
After a pause, he pondered and took the initiative to add: "Looking at this sky, people should have settled down." β
Your Majesty has taken the initiative to ask, what should you command?
