The group stopped in front of a high palace gate, the guards put down the sedan chair, and only after Mrs. Shen came out did Gonggong Xu say, "Old lady Shen, our family will be sent here." ”

Old Mrs. Shen leaned on Shen Lianyi, bowed her head, and said, "Thank you Father-in-law Xu." ”

Gonggong Xu smiled slightly, shook off the dust, and then turned to leave, and the guards followed him.

Old Lady Shen walked into this palace gate with Shen Lianyi, and immediately a little palace maid greeted her. "Old lady Shen, Miss Shen."

Old Lady Shen nodded and said, "Lead the way." ”

After walking like this for a while, they turned a corner, and a large and exquisite hall appeared before them, the largest of the palaces, located in the center of the imperial garden.

Watching some palace people coming and going, Shen Lianyi guessed that it should be the setting of tonight's celebration banquet.

The maid led them past the main hall, and after a few more steps, they heard the sound of laughter and laughter in front of them.

Shen Lianyi knew that it should be the ladies of the advanced palace, who came here to wait for the banquet after meeting the queen's mother.

The palace maid took them the other way, and did not meet the nobles head-on.

After a while, another large hall appeared before them, but this palace was not as majestic as the one in front of them.

This time, the palace maids brought them into this palace, and the palace people guarding the palace gate saw them coming from a distance and immediately reported inside.

When Shen Lianyi's ancestor and grandson walked to the door, a female official wearing a blue and white dress walked out, saw Mrs. Shen, and saluted: "I've seen Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen." ”

Old Lady Shen nodded and asked, "Aunt Qingdai, I wonder if Niangniang is in the palace?" ”

The ladies who enter the palace must first meet the lord of the harem and the queen before they can play their own games.

Although Mrs. Shen's merits are very great, in the end, she is a minister, and since she is a minister, she must follow the etiquette of the minister.

Qing Dai got up and said, "Niangniang is in the apse to check the things needed for tonight's palace banquet, I think that Mrs. Shen is about to arrive, so I ordered the slave maid to wait in the front hall." ”

Old Lady Shen said: "That is the case, the old body is waiting for the mother in the front hall." ”

Qing Dai lowered her eyebrows and answered "yes", and then led the way.

The grandfather and grandson stepped into the palace gate, Shen Lianyi unconsciously shook Mrs. Shen's hand, but Mrs. Shen mistakenly thought that she was afraid, and thought about it in her heart, she never went out one by one, let alone seen the queen a few times, so she was naturally nervous.

Then she patted Shen Lianyi's hand to show reassurance.

Shen Lianyi felt the reassuring meaning in her movements, which was a little strange.

She wasn't scared, she was nervous.

Every time she entered the palace, she always saw the queen from a distance, and Shen Lianyi always wanted to know how good-looking the queen, who was known as the first beauty in the capital twenty years ago.

The two entered the front hall, and some palace people served tea to them, and then the two of them were in the main hall, and Aunt Qingdai was nowhere to be found.

Not long after, another female official in a smoky blue dress walked out and saluted: "I've seen Old Lady Shen, Miss Shen." The queen mother has finished her affairs and ordered the slave maid to invite the two of you into the apse. ”

The two stood up and followed behind the female officer, and the old lady Shen asked, "Aunt Fang Cai Qingdai didn't know where she went after she brought us in, I don't know ...... her."

The female official said: "Sister Qingdai was summoned by the queen to serve." ”。

Old Lady Shen nodded. Shen Lianyi tilted his head slightly, a little ununderstanding why Old Lady Shen asked more.
