Chapter 175: Entering the Palace
After learning etiquette for two months, the grandmother in the palace nodded with satisfaction.
The next day, a post came from the palace, which was sent to me by the Queen Mother, and she invited me to speak in the palace where she lived.
Yuxin has been raised under his knees since she was born, she has watched him grow up, and now, engaged, whether this bride is worth it or not, still has to let her take a look.
Last year's Winter Hall, the Queen Mother was ill and did not show up, I and her, I have never met, this time I entered the palace, or the first time we met.
I don't know, is she still satisfied with me?
The carriage was on the way into the palace, but I was distracted in the carriage.
"The county lord—"
It was Mama Yang's voice, shouting softly outside.
"What's wrong?"
I asked softly, and at this moment the carriage also jolted twice and stopped in place.
"It's Lord Xin—"
It turned out to be Yu Xin, who heard that I entered the palace today, and waited outside the palace gate early.
I haven't seen him for two or three months, and we haven't seen him since we came out of the courtyard of Gao Wei.
Before the marriage, I was grounded, and after the marriage, I had to learn the rules, and I couldn't go out easily.
Under the sun, the young man looked very exquisite, dressed in fine clothes, sitting on a tall horse, looking at me, his eyes were full of anticipation.
"It's-"
I was a little restrained, and it stands to reason that after the engagement, I can't see him, and I have to wait until the wedding night to remove the hijab and see his face.
But he's waiting here, and the people around me, he knows it, so it's not appropriate to leave him like this and walk over in a daze!
"County Lord, it's the Queen Mother, let Prince Xin come to pick you up into the palace!"
The eunuch who was waiting for Yu Xin's side, after seeing our people here, immediately trotted over to spread the word.
"Father-in-law, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right?"
Mama Yang closed the curtains, hid me in the carriage, and explained neither humbly nor arrogantly, if you come according to the rules, I should not meet Yuxin.
"Just let the prince pick up people, this side, we naturally follow the rules."
As the father-in-law spoke, the maidservant behind him stepped forward with something, and I listened inside, and I didn't respond for a long time.
"It's a mask—"
Han Yunduo said beside me.
"Masks?"
My curiosity followed for a moment.
What does this mask mean?
"If you don't let you meet, won't it be enough to cover your face?"
Han Feifei immediately understood, this custom, just said that I was not allowed to see my face, I covered my face, and in this way, it was not considered to have exceeded the rules.
"That's not going to work, I can't wear it alone!"
This custom means that both parties are not allowed to meet, I wear it, Yuxin does not wear it, he can't see my face, but I can see him, what does this mean?
"He's already wearing it!"
Han Yunduo listened attentively and told me with certainty.
"The county lord—"
Without waiting for me to respond, Mama Yang knocked on her arm and shouted softly.
"What's wrong?"
I asked softly as if I didn't know anything.
"That's right!"
Mama Yang said the meaning of the eunuch again, just like Han Yunduo and they said, the Queen Mother asked people to prepare a mask and let me wear it with Yuxin, so that there would be no problem when he came to pick me up.
"Is that okay?"
I don't dare to make a decision about this kind of thing lightly.
"It depends on the county lord's own will, the prince has already put on a mask, wait there, your words-"
Mama Yang's implication is to let me make my own decisions.
Now that I have arrived outside the palace gate, Yuxin has been waiting outside, at this time, it is not good for me to turn the carriage around, and it is not good to walk directly past him like this, thinking about it, it can only be like this.
The Queen Mother sent someone and gave an idea, even if I don't want to, I should give the Queen Mother a face.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if I get out of the car or not, I can't see the rain.
After thinking about it, I still agreed, and asked Han Feifei to bring the mask in and put it on his face carefully.
It was a patterned mask carved from jade, very simple, without too much decoration, and without a strange color scheme, the white jade was light and perfect, just enough to make a mask.
The weather has warmed up a lot, and there is nothing wrong with wearing this mask.
After getting dressed, I got out of the carriage with the support of Han Yunduo and Han Feifei, and walked towards Yuxin, who was also wearing a mask.
Today's sun is just right, and Yuxin, wearing a golden mask, is scorching under the palace gate.
When I saw him, with a smile in his eyes, he walked quickly towards me, his sleeves fluttering behind him, but his figure was slowly delighted.
Today, the clothes I am wearing, because of the reason for entering the palace, are long and cumbersome, and when I walk, I need to be cautious and careful, and my steps are slow, and when I see him running towards me, I stand in place, not daring to move.
"Lord Wang—"
Mama Yang and they are also like great enemies, for fear that he will chase me in front of them and hit me.
When everyone was hesitating and didn't know what to do, the person who had been guarding behind me stood up, only to see him walk forward quickly, raise his arm, and stop Yuxin half a meter away.
"Lord Xin, be careful—"
All the way, he stood up, wearing silver armor, with an ugly and dirty copper mask on his face, the back of the whole person looked decent, but the face was a little scary.
"Who are you?"
Yu Xin was a little displeased, so she was stopped.
This question made me suddenly wake up and forget about it.
All the way to my side, its original name could not be used, it would cause misunderstanding, but if the name was changed, I never cared.
At this moment, I don't know what he will answer?
In case, if he says his name, then—
My palms were covered with cold sweat, and I couldn't help myself nervously looking at the two people in front of me.
"The county lord's personal bodyguard—the mirage."
I changed my name along the way, and this name made me a little unfamiliar.
It's like, when the name is used, he's a different person.
Mirage, why is it called a mirage?
I think of Miao Qing's words, could this be his original name?
I always called him that, thinking that he was all the way, and when I think about it, he never told me his real name, and the elders never called him by name, let alone called him all the way.
Mirage, maybe that's his real name!
That's fine, it's good, he's not my way after all!
Wishful thinking, or stop thinking about it, don't think about it anymore.
"Uncle Xin!"
I took two steps forward and saluted him, "I miss you for many days!" ”
"Me too, Ning'er, how are you doing these days?"
Hearing my voice, Yuxin's anger immediately dissipated, pushed all the way away, and arrived in front of me, grabbing my hand without the slightest hesitation.
"I'm not very good, the grandmother in the palace, there are too many rules to teach, I have learned-"
Without a trace, I twitched my hand and motioned for him to come closer, whispering in his ear: "I'm going to get tired!" The latest chapter of "All the Way to the Tranquility Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
