The mountain road was very rugged, and the sedan chair swayed along the way, and the shaking Alan wanted to vomit and wanted to go down and walk. Looking at Songhe Alan who was calm and relaxed, he still chose to shut up. After going down the mountain, I took the carriage instead.

There are three sedan chairs in total, and each sedan chair has a flag with the word "south" written on it. Alan followed Songhe into the middle one, and the queen got into the front one. So Jin took the little eunuch to the last one. Each car was left and right with two maids and two guards. Tuhe rode a horse to escort him in front, and there were more than a hundred or so people at the end of the sedan chair.

The carriage was much more stable than the sedan chair, and it did not bump again after getting on the main road. The carriage was filled with incense, the cushions were covered with fluffy blankets, soft and warm, and Alain was gently rocked by the carriage, leaning on the carriage and falling asleep. I don't know how long I walked, Alain was woken up by Songhe's soft voice:

"There's still a stick of incense, and we're going to go into town. I'm the county lord who married outside, and the house here has been abandoned for a long time, although someone has been cleaning it, but it is inevitable that there will be something missing. I came back suddenly, the house has not been cleaned up, and I am temporarily staying with the Queen Mother these days. Although you have just entered the city, the emperor has already prepared your house, which is on the street of my county lord's mansion, across the road. It stands to reason that I should take you directly into the palace, but today there is a messenger from the south wing, and the emperor did not end so early in the reception hall, and the queen mother has many rules, so now I want to take you to your mansion to change your clothes and make up for a makeup. ”

Songhe glanced out, and then said: "The queen mother was ordered by the emperor to come to pick you up this time, and she is naturally unhappy with you openly and secretly, but you can rest assured, she never does anything to the child." ”

"Back to my mansion...... Will the Queen Mother go with her? ”

"Naturally. The emperor's original words were 'personally access to the palace', and before entering the palace, the queen's task was not completed. ”

"The emperor and the queen...... Contradictory? Alain asked tentatively.

"When you enter the palace, you will find that many people in the palace have conflicts with each other. Even the night pot will have a 'contradiction' between them. Songhe smiled helplessly and said: "In the palace, no, it should be said, but where there is interpersonal relations, as long as there is a conflict of interests, there will be contradictions. It's just that the palace is more special. ”

Alan looked at Songhe curiously, and saw that her eyes were gone, as if she was in a memory: "It's just that the palace is relatively special, and there will be unexpected conflicts of interest between two people who seem absolutely impossible." ”

It was the first time Alain had seen such a large house. The gate alone has two large wooden doors of the Bone Fu Temple. Early in the morning, there were twenty or thirty maids at the gate of the princess's mansion, and when they saw people coming, dozens of more people came out. The maids all wore long pale blue dresses embroidered with orchids at the corners. Even the jewelry worn on the head is a standard and uniform shape of orchid brocade hairpin.

Seeing that the carriage had stopped, he greeted the queen, the princess, and the county lord in turn. The queen didn't say anything, and nodded lightly.

At this time, with the support of the little eunuch, Gu Jin gave a salute to the queen and the others, and turned to Alan and said: "I'm afraid that the queen mother is in a hurry, and the old slave will go back to restore her life first, saying that our princess has entered the city safely, so that the queen mother and her old people can rest assured." The old slave retired first. ”

When Gu Jin got into the carriage, the princess's chamberlain, a man who looked like a housekeeper in his forties, came over and saluted, bent slightly and said, "The queen mother, the lord of Songhe, and the princess, please come with the slaves." ”

The queen took a seat in the hall, and the butler looked at the tea. Songhe got up to take Alain to change his clothes. The queen responded coldly. When he came out of the guest hall, Alain felt much more relaxed.

Songhe took Alain to the backyard, and behind the reception hall was the garden, which was lush with flowers and plants that looked very valuable, and there was a faint pavilion in the center. A three-foot-wide stream weaves through this patchwork back garden. Songhe took Alain to the right and walked up the corridor.
