Chapter 41: Xia Channiang enters the palace

Xia Channiang's sedan chair turned into Chang'an Street, and it was already very close to the palace gate.

The eunuch rode behind the palanquin, shaking his head and humming a little tune.

When they passed a big tree, a hurricane came from nowhere, and they saw dust rolling up the leaves and dancing wildly, making people unable to open their eyes.

In the distance, the people saw that the leaves covered the vehicles, horses, and people there, and they could not see anything clearly, and faintly heard the melodious sound of the flute.

The sound of the flute makes people cry when they hear it.

When the whistle died down, the wind stopped.

The eunuch lowered the sleeves of his shirt that covered his face, and saw the palanquin stopped in front, and the two palanquin bearers were wiping their tears while patting the dust and fallen leaves on their shoulders and heads.

"Madame alright?" The eunuch asked.

"I'm fine, what's wrong?" Xia Channiang opened the corner of the curtain and asked.

"It's okay." The eunuch said and urged the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair and hurry away.

When the sedan chair driver lifted the sedan chair, he felt a little struggling, and the sedan chair seemed to be much heavier than before.

"This wind can eat people's strength!" One of the palanquin drivers whined.

In the sedan chair, Xia Channiang tidied up her clothes and stuffed the changed clothes under the bench cover.

And under the bench, there was a woman. Her coat was stripped and she couldn't wake up.

The one who fell asleep was the real Xia Cicada Niang.

-------------

Xing Yao sat in the hall with Emperor Li Guifei, although her appearance was quiet, her heart was pounding.

"Mrs. Xia is hereβ€”" Someone outside the door reported.

Xingyao stood up unconsciously.

"My baby bump!" Xia Channiang shouted.

She walked over quickly, hugged Xing Yao, and whispered in Xing Yao's ear: "Relax, I am your mother." ”

"Mother-" Xing Yao reacted at this time, hugged Xia Channiang enthusiastically, and shouted affectionately.

Concubine Li cleared her voice on the side.

The eunuch reminded: "Mrs. Xia, this is a solemn palace, you have to kneel when you see Niangniang." ”

Xing Yao hurriedly knelt down with Xia Channiang.

"Get up and sit down." Emperor Li raised her head and posed nobly.

Xing Yao helped Xia Channiang get up, and asked her to sit on the chair she was sitting on and stand aside.

After Concubine Li was polite, she asked Xia Channiang some questions with concern, and all the questions were very tricky.

Xia Channiang answered very smoothly, which surprised Xing Yao.

She knows everything about Xing Yao, including a scar under the knee of Xing Yao's right leg, which was scraped by a rock when Xing Yao was 10 years old when he climbed the mountain.

Moreover, her accent is exactly the same as Xing Yao, and it is not the original Jiangnan accent of Xia Channiang with a Beijing accent.

"Freshly made, you can taste it."

Xia Channiang enthusiastically held the osmanthus cake in front of Emperor Li.

The fragrance of osmanthus has a sweet taste, and it makes people appetite when they smell it.

The maid on the side tasted a piece on her behalf, with an intoxicated expression on her face, and then took a piece and handed it to Emperor Li's concubine.

Concubine Li took a bite and closed her eyes, her nose was full of incense, her mouth was full of glutinous, sweet but not greasy.

How can the pastries in the court be so delicious!

She opened her eyes with satisfaction and said, "If Mrs. Xia is free, she often comes to the palace to see her daughter, and the palace is very welcome." ”

"Xie Niangniang!"

Xia Channiang led Xingyao to kneel down with joy on her face.

"Your Highness. Niangniang ordered, but she didn't dare to let her go. The voice of a guard came from the door.

"Let Hongu in!" Zhu Qi's angry voice also came.

"Let him in." Emperor Li commanded.
