Chapter 243: Competing for Favor 7
A clear carriage, several eunuchs and guards, escorted Bai Jinyu from the Jin Palace's palace to Daxing Palace in a low-key manner.
By the time we arrived at the palace gate, night had already fallen. The situation was tense, the lights in front of the palace gate were like day, and the bright light passed through the carriage, illuminating Bai Jinyu's inexplicable and anxious face half-brightly and half-darkly.
The eunuch and the doorman at the head exchanged letters, the heavy palace door opened a small opening, and the carriage slowly drove into the palace.
There was silence within the high walls, the lights were bright, and even the corridors under the palace gate were lit with rows of lamps and candles.
This all-encompassing light does not render a sense of security, but rather shows the nervousness and precaution of the owner of this palace.
The car went forward, and after traveling for several miles, Bai Jinyu was sitting in the car, only to feel that the light outside the car was gradually dimming.
After passing through several palace gates, the car finally stopped in one place.
"Mother, please get out of the car!" One eunuch rolled up the curtain of the car door for her, and the other immediately handed her an arm, waiting to serve her.
Bai Jinyu looked at the arm in front of him, a little uncomfortable. Even though she has been the "Princess of Jin" for five or six days, she is still a little uncomfortable with this kind of life where everything is served.
It's like the car in front of her that is specially built for women, just a little higher than her knees, and she can get down when she jumps, which makes her feel like a waste.
However, such an act of jumping out of the car did damage the solemn image of a princess, out of the need for performance, Bai Jinyu stretched out his hand, borrowed a little force from the eunuch's arm, and walked down from the car one by one.
The night of the heavenly steps is as cool as water, and a crescent moon hooks on the delicate corner tower.
This is not the first time Bai Jinyu has visited the palace, but the last time he helped Qianxi find medicine, he was in a hurry, and he walked on the roof, which was different from looking at the entire palace now.
The palaces with heavy eaves are like finely carved sandalwood ornaments, quietly located in the quiet night, and under her feet is the warm white jade paved ground, leading straight to the endless directions.
The palace is so big, she said to herself, she was really lucky last time, if she did it again, she might not be able to escape safely.
"Niangniang, this is Li Shanggong, and she will serve Niangniang next!" The eunuch who helped her out of the car bowed his head and respectfully confessed to Bai Jinyu.
When Bai Jinyu heard this, he was slightly strange, the voice of this eunuch didn't seem to be as arrogant as it was in the Jin Palace.
She followed his gesture and saw a female official in her thirties, dressed in complicated clothes, leading six young palace maids walking towards her with small and compact steps.
Bai Jinyu felt in his heart, these should be the queen's people!
can let the queen send someone to escort her from the Jin Palace's palace to the palace overnight, presumably her needle piercing Fengchen is a very serious sin in the royal family.
"Slave maid, see King Jin's side concubine!"
Li Shanggong walked in front of Bai Jinyu and led the palace maid behind him to give Bai Jinyu a big gift.
Bai Jinyu was a little surprised, the royal is the royal family, the master and servant are respectful and the rank is strict, and these palace maids are not at all less polite because she is a "to be trained" concubine.
"Don't ......" Bai Jinyu was just about to say don't be polite, but when he thought about his current identity, he changed his words again: "Li Shanggong is flat!" ”
The other party got up with great gratitude, and greeted him with a beautiful smile: "Niangniang has worked hard, please let the slave guide the way for Niangniang!" ”
Bai Jinyu was stunned for a moment, a little incomprehensible, why are they so friendly to the people who are going to be "reprimanded"?
By the way, Wen Yan once said that people in the court often do not show their true faces, but more smiling tigers who hide knives and needles in their smiles...... This Li Shanggong may be this type.
Thinking of the solemn appearance of the eunuch who had just announced the decree in the Jin Palace, Bai Jinyu did not dare to take it lightly, and secretly stepped up his caution, and agreed to Li Shanggong's request.
Next, Bai Jinyu became more and more incomprehensible. I thought she would be taken to an eerie reprimand room, better yet, a place as serious as the Cuizhu Hadith Hall.
Who knows, Li Shanggong took her into a room, where bead curtains hung down the ground, cloud screen jade furnaces, and incense curled up, refreshing people's hearts.
Under the warm yellow lamps and candles, in the exquisite bead curtain that is more than three feet wide, the clouds are steaming and foggy, like veil and smoke, and the whole room just rightly renders a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
Li Shanggong took Bai Jinyu's hand through the spacious two-entry house, she gently lifted the bead curtain with her hand, Bai Jinyu couldn't help but be attracted by her every move, there is really no shortage of beauties in this palace, a Shanggong is as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, so that people can't take their eyes off.
"He'er, Zhu'er, wait for the mother to bathe and change clothes!"
Bai Jinyu was immersed in Li Shanggong's gestures like a lady's picture, and when he heard this sentence, he was full of excitement.
Shower and change clothes?
She looked away from Li Shanggong's body in confusion, turned her head, and saw the rosewood bath bucket in front of her, the mist she had seen behind the bead curtain before, it was the steam that was constantly emitted from the fragrant soup in this bucket.
Bai Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and a palace maid had already come up and pulled her belt.
"Oh my God!" Bai Jinyu hurriedly reached out to press it, and took a step later to pounce, and then went to pull the belt of the dress, her shoulders were cold, and she was caught off guard that another palace maid had already taken off her coat for her.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Bai Jinyu's upper body was bare, and only the bandeau was lightly covered.
This is not over, the two palace maids continued to pull Bai Jinyu's hands crossed over their shoulders again, and continued to untie her clothes very familiarly.
That's an exaggeration! There are still six or seven people standing here! Is this a public bath?
Bai Jinyu was shocked, ashamed and afraid, and while holding their hands up and down left and right, he stopped in confusion: "Two sisters, two sisters!" Stop, stop...... Stop, I've already bathed in the house, stop, stop, don't ...... No need to wash it anymore! ”
The two palace maids joined hands up and down, completely ignoring her dissuasion, Bai Jinyu was so tired.
At this time, Li Shanggong, who had already gone outside to be busy, walked back, she looked at the situation, and motioned for the two palace maids to step aside.
The two palace maids let go, and Bai Jinyu gasped slightly, but at this time, she had been almost stripped away, and only a piece of fabric that she had snatched from them was tightly clutched in her hands and protected on her chest.
"You've all turned your backs!" Li Shanggong looked at Bai Jinyu's face as red as fire, and promptly instructed the six palace maids here.
"Yes!"
The palace maids turned around one after another, and at this time, Li Shanggong said to Bai Jinyu gracefully: "Niangniang, please relax, bathing is a necessary step, if Niangniang is embarrassed, let the slave maid serve Niangniang alone, okay?" ”
Li Shanggong was born with kind eyebrows, and when the corners of his mouth were raised, it made people feel even more friendly.
Bai Jinyu's head became so big that he wanted to refuse, but listening to Li Shanggong's tone, it seemed that letting her serve alone was already the bottom line, so he struggled for a long time and reluctantly agreed.
