Chapter 134: Disguise
Hua Xiangrong changed into the clothes of Yunxuan's maid, combed the maid's hair bun, and walked at the back of the sedan chair. She learned from the servant girls around her to keep their heads down and walk slowly, and she couldn't raise her head at any kind of trouble.
One of the biggest advantages of walking behind is that she doesn't have to be called, she only needs to follow, and she avoids revealing her identity and making people realize that she is a Jianghu person who doesn't understand the rules.
Yun Xuan's sedan chariot followed Hua Yujiang, and the eldest princess's sedan chariot was in front. She walked at the end, unable to see what lay ahead.
The procession slowly marched towards the palace, and passers-by stopped to watch, compared to the magnificence of the day when Hua Yujiang entered the camp hill city, it was more than equal.
When Hua Xiangrong saw the majestic palace, her heartbeat still couldn't stop accelerating.
She walked towards the Qi King's Palace step by step, as if she was walking towards death step by step, towards her fate.
That's right, fate.
She didn't know what awaited him ahead, the beginning she had forgotten since nine years ago, the life experience she had been looking for from the moment she walked out of Yuanji, the truth that she had been hunted down for four months.
At this moment, she was actually a little scared.
She didn't know what she was afraid of, she was just distracted, and she just wanted to be deterred. She looked up at the palace slightly, and always felt that she had neglected something.
What is it exactly?
Isn't it...... It's too fast.
It was as if she was about to grasp something, but it was too small for her to see. She looked at the palace like this, and for the first time she felt so uncomfortable that she didn't know it.
But at this point, there was no way back for her.
She can't run away, and she can't run away. The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, and Hua Xiangrong stood in front of the palace gate with the maid pressing her head low.
The number of people entering the palace, the things and weapons brought into the palace, all need to be recorded in detail at the palace gate. When the person with the yellow book and brush passed by Hua Xiangrong, she quietly raised her eyes and glanced at it.
The person who recorded it noticed that she looked up, looked at her, and didn't say anything, maybe just seeing that she was young, and that she was a newcomer who didn't know the rules.
Hua Xiangrong entered as Yun Xuan's maidservant, and it was naturally the person Yun Xuan brought from Yan Kingdom. Even if he didn't understand the rules, he couldn't say anything, so he could only sneer in his heart that the people of the Yan Kingdom were just not as good as the people of their Qi Kingdom.
The people who recorded the number of people passed by, and the palace maids came to search them to prevent them from carrying any weapons without permission.
Hua Xiangrong didn't like this feeling very much, she closed her eyes and held back.
After a while, after all the inspections were completed, the sedan chariot entered the palace.
Hua Xiangrong also entered the palace together.
She had already used one night to remember the map Hua Yujiang gave her clearly, the main palace gate was facing south, and they were now located in the main palace gate. The place where the king of Qi prepared the palace banquet was the Chenghuan Palace, in the north.
And the secret letter room that Hua Xiangrong is looking for is in the east of the palace.
The palace of the King of Qi is very large, even if she memorizes the map, I don't know how long she will have to look for it, let alone whether she can come back at the end of the palace banquet.
If there is a deviation in time, then she will not be able to get out, this kind of place is not a place for her to come and go, not to mention that the palace wall is so high that she can't go up, and she can also beat countless masters who work for the royal family.
The palace of the King of Qi should be beautiful and spectacular, after all, it is a powerful country today. But I don't know what kind of spectacular flower I want to look at, with her current "identity", she can only look down at her toes, and it is a sin to look up.
I also walked for a long time to go to Chenghuan Palace, and it was already the end of the hour, and low-level maids like Hua Xiangrong could not enter, so they could only stay outside the hall.
Hua Yujiang, the eldest princess, and Yun Xuan, they all got out of the car and entered the palace together. Hua Xiangrong felt a gaze sweeping towards her, I don't know if it was Hua Yujiang's or Yun Xuan's.
The silk and bamboo orchestra in the Chenghuan Palace, the sound of music and dance is endless. The people who came here to participate in the palace banquet were not only princes and nobles, but also high-ranking officials. It's just that Hua Yujiang has a special identity, so the ceremonial team entered the palace with him, and the others didn't have such a big battle.
The master entered the Chenghuan Palace, and the group was led to wait elsewhere.
Hua Xiangrong followed, and stood behind the Chenghuan Palace.
She still has to wait for the people arranged by Hua Yujiang to take her away and give her the clothes of the internal officials before she can go to the secret letter room. Otherwise, with the way she is now, she won't be able to leave.
She didn't stand long before she noticed a maid coming to them and the group, turning around, and finally stopped in front of Hua Xiangrong and said to her, "You come with me." ”
She was wearing the clothes of Yun Xuan's maid, but she was not the person she saw serving by Yun Xuan's side today.
But she didn't have time to think about it, so she bowed her head and bowed, and went with her.
Walking to a place where no one was around, the maid turned around and looked around carefully, and after making sure that there was no one, she hurriedly handed the clothes she was holding to Hua Xiangrong, and said, "The prince wants me to tell you that you must come back within two hours, and you must be more careful yourself." ”
Hua Xiangrong took the clothes and asked her suspiciously: "Are you a person who is an example of the world, or are you ...... Yun Xuan's people? ”
The maid looked embarrassed, and only said, "It's not important, time is pressing, the girl should go and go back quickly." ”
Hua Xiangrong didn't ask anything more, and took the clothes and left.
She walked in the direction of the map in her memory to the Book Pavilion, avoiding the patrolling guards and busy slaves and maids all the way, and when she arrived in a no-man's land, she took off her coat and changed into the clothes of the internal officials.
The secret letter room is usually cleaned by the internal officials of the Recommendation Pavilion, and it is not easy to be suspected by people in the clothes of the internal officials, and secondly, if she meets the internal officials who go to clean it, she can blend in with it, and the certainty of success will be improved a lot.
It was indeed a long way to the Book Pavilion, but strangely there were no guards as she had imagined.
She came to the Book Pavilion smoothly, and there were not many people guarding the Book Pavilion. Hua Xiangrong hid behind the beam of the room, and was thinking about what to do, when he saw a group of five people walking in the direction of the secret letter room.
Hua Xiangrong's heart moved, she was really lucky, and she really met the internal official to go to the secret letter room to clean up!
She quietly followed behind the last officer, and because of the internal force, these five people all walked with their heads down and did not notice her.
The Book Pavilion is not far from the secret letter room, and it didn't take long to arrive. The guards in the secret letter room are quite normal, there is one guard in the five steps, and there are guards patrolling back and forth.
The internal officer was stopped when he walked at the door, and the leader showed the token, and the guard was also familiar with it, so he returned the token at a glance, and asked suspiciously: "I remember that today is not the person who sweeps away, why do you want to come today?" ”
The leader bowed his head and replied, "The slave and maid do not know what the people above commanded." ”
The guard waved his hand and said, "Go in." ”
The chief officer bowed his head again and walked in with the people behind him.
And Hua Xiangrong also followed them in, and when he stepped into the secret letter room, he heard the sound of the door behind him being slammed shut.
