Chapter 218: The Gate of King Chen's Mansion
Han Jue seemed to be quite familiar with the capital, and drove the carriage directly to the door of an inn near the riverside street.
The four of them got out of the carriage, and the inn's junior immediately greeted them warmly.
"Unload the horse, and serve it."
Han Jue directly threw the carriage to Xiao Er, and walked into the inn with Shu Qingai.
Shu Qingai took this opportunity to take a look at the street by the river, almost the entire street was filled with inns and restaurants, and the one they lived in actually looked very ordinary.
Walking into the inn, the furnishings inside are quite elegant, even in the lobby of the inn, there is a floor-to-ceiling bath, there is a rockery more than two meters high in the bath, and koi fish of different colors swim happily in the bath. In the pool, there are also many aquatic plants, and there are also a few water lilies.
There were no guests in the hall, only a middle-aged man at the counter, looking down through the ledger. Seeing Shu Qingai and a few of them coming in, he raised his head and immediately smiled.
"How many, but in the hotel?"
Shu Qingai retracted her head and bowed gently: "First help us prepare a table of good wine and food, and then prepare three upper rooms." ”
The man smiled and responded, in exchange for Xiao Er, he took them straight to the guest room.
Congratulations to Han Jue and one person, Shu Qingai lives with Qingyou, after all, the injuries on Qingyou's body can't touch the water, on such a day, she has to scrub her body, and among several people, only Shu Qingai can help her.
After a realistic wash, several people had a meal together, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
The upper rooms are almost all for the wealthy, so they are both inside and outside. There is a small cave outside, which is for those who serve their masters.
Because of the rush for a few days, everyone was a little sleepy after eating, Shu Qingai planned to do nothing, and sleep beautifully first, which was the right thing.
"Quiet, you go to sleep."
Looking at Qingyou sitting on the small collapse, Shu Qingai said directly.
"Madame, no."
"The wounds on your body have not healed yet, and the bed inside is softer, and when you rest, your body can recover quickly."
Although Qingyou is cold-hearted, her heart has long been softened by Shu Qingai. Shu Qingai is not like other masters, she treats her like a sister. During the period of following Shu Qingai, she truly realized the freedom and dignity of being a human being.
It's not that I didn't have a good time in the Hua family before, it's just that the people of the Hua family have never regarded them as ordinary and equal people like Shu Qingai, and they are just accessories in their eyes.
But Shu Qingai treats them as family. They are not allowed to call themselves slaves and maids in front of her, and what the subordinates want, Shu Qingai has always given them.
After hesitating for a long time, Qingyou didn't continue with Shu Qingai because of where she slept, she walked in front of Shu Qingai, hesitated for a long time, and still asked the doubts in her heart.
"Madam, you have always regarded Qingyou as family, so Qingyou has a question for you."
Shu Qingai is still the first time to see Qingyu like this, the quiet of the past, she has never said much, she only does what she wants to do every day, what Shu Qingai says, she has never refutated. Today's tranquility is unusual.
Shu Qingai smiled softly, pulled Qingyou and sat down on the edge of a table of eight immortals: "Hehe, today's tranquility is so quiet that it surprises me a little, you ask." ”
Qingyou was still cold, but when her eyes met Shu Qingai's eyes, there was an obvious trace of distress and worry in her eyes. All of this is under Shu Qingai's eyes.
"Madam, is Big Brother Li the King of Chen?"
Shu Qingai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he found that in addition to his distress and worry in his quiet eyes, he didn't see anything else in Bai.
She nodded with a wry smile: "Well, you guessed right. ”
Sooner or later, she would have known about it, not to mention that Qingyou is also one of her most trusted people.
Qing's eyes did not change, but the worry in his eyes was even deeper.
"This time, Mrs. came to the capital to look for the eldest brother, right? Why didn't Madame go directly to Chenwang's Mansion? ”
Shu Qingai let go of Qingyou's hand and poured a cup of hot food for herself and her, and then pushed it in front of her, holding the cup herself, but her eyes were full of confusion.
"Isn't Madame worried?"
Shu Qingai smiled bitterly, she rarely said much on weekdays, but today's words are really a bit much, but every word of her words is for herself to worry about.
"Qingyu, can you take what you say about a man seriously? I'm really afraid, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, our oath has long faded, and I'm a little afraid to face it. ”
During this time, even if she was suffering in her heart, she was strong in front of outsiders, and at this moment, in front of the tranquility who cared about her, she said what had puzzled her for a long time during this time.
"Madam, I don't know about men, but I know that Mr. Hua has always been wholeheartedly devoted to Mrs. Hua, even if the Hua family is a big family, Mr. Hua is not like other men, in fact, Mrs. is here, why bother to lie to yourself."
"Really? I really don't know that a merry boy like Hua Jinhan is still a rare stream of clear water. ”
But he is no one else, he is the noble King Chen, even if he doesn't want other women, what about his father, queen mother?
"Madam, I'll go with you, no matter what the result is, I'm sure Madame will be strong."
Shu Qingai was stunned, and was encouraged by Qingyu like this, and suddenly had a great courage in her heart!
Yes, during this time, these things puzzled her, and there was no one to talk to, but when she said it to Qingyou, her heart suddenly opened up a lot.
"Okay."
Shu Qingai smiled strongly and said this word! Qingyu suddenly showed a happy smile on her face! Faint, faint fleeting! Shu Qingai almost thought she was dazzled.
Seeing Qingyou get up and go to the baggage to look for clothes, Shu Qingai shook her head helplessly.
This girl, in fact, is not cold at all.
Qingyou turned out a lilac streamer dress, this dress Shu Qingai has never worn, she doesn't want Qingyou to be injured and busy for herself, so she took the initiative to change it on. Subsequently, Qingyou put on a cloud bun for her. The ends of her hair are also coiled up, which means that Shu Qingai thinks she is a woman.
A bowl of lotus white jade hairpin and a pearl flower shake eight steps to decorate it. On the fair face, slightly apply powder.
In an instant, Shu Qingai Yanran changed into an elegant and fresh temperament. couldn't help but be stunned, even Qingyu was stunned.
"Isn't this skirt too grand, the gold thread in this purple is too eye-catching in the sun!"
Shu Qingai is a little uncomfortable with dressing up like this, how comfortable she is in general. Although she saw Mochen today, she was also looking forward to showing her most beautiful side in front of her, but she couldn't tell the awkwardness in her heart, perhaps, she was just too nervous.
"Madam, this is also a very common dress in the capital, and you have to get used to it in the future."
Qingyou persuaded it.
It's also approaching evening, and the sun isn't scorching when you're on the streets at this time. Shu Qingai and Qingyou didn't say hello to Han Jue and Gongxi, and when the two left the inn, they hired a carriage on the street and went directly to King Chen's mansion.
To say that the ancient imperial capital was really big, even if it was a carriage, almost two quarters of an hour had passed, and Shu Qingai, who was so worried, didn't have the heart to look at the scenery outside the window at all.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Shu Qingai's heart began to thump.
"Ma'am, it's here."
Qingyou looked at Shu Qingai for a long time and reminded in a low voice. Shu Qingai secretly gritted her teeth, put her hand on the quiet palm, stepped on the horse, and walked off the carriage with a wild jump in her heart.
The location where the carriage is parked is still some distance from the front of the palace, and far away, the two stone lions in front of the palace are mighty and vivid!
The red vermilion lacquer door is tightly closed! At the top of the gate, on a black golden silk nanmu plaque, the dragon flying and the phoenix danced with the three big characters of "Chenwangfu"!
Outside the gate, rows of guards, holding Hongying spears, do not squint! Four guards with knives stood outside the gate on either side, their big hands on the hilt of their knives, as if they were out of their bodies at any moment!
Shu Qingai held her breath and slowly walked forward with the help of Qingyu.
"Stop! Chenwang's Mansion! Miscellaneous people, etc., are not allowed to enter! ”
Shu Qingai's feelings at this time are simply indescribable! Perhaps, this is the distance between her and Mo Chen, right?
In front of the door, the guards are strictly guarded! Before they could get closer, they were blocked out with large knives.
Suddenly! In Shu Qingai's heart, there were infinite grievances and a slight urge to retreat!
Qingyou let go of the hand holding Shu Qingai, took two steps forward, took out a certain amount of gold from the purse, and was about to stuff it into the hands of the guards with knives who came forward to ask.
"This eldest brother, our wife is an old acquaintance of King Chen, and she is also the lord of Hanhe County who is personally appointed by the emperor, please report it."
Shu Qingai had to say, if you don't wait for the quiet to come today, she really doesn't know how to say this? And the door of this capital is really not easy to enter, so let people report it, and they have to give ten taels of gold!
This is really not comparable to the small Pingyang County!
But what surprised Shu Qingai was even more! The guards who blocked their way didn't even glance at the gold in Qingyou's hand, and directly shouted coldly!
"Lord Hanhe County? We've never heard of it! No one is allowed to enter without a post! ”
That's it! The guard directly pulled out the big knife he was wearing at his waist and threatened Qingyou for a while!
Qing You was stunned, and then she didn't expect that it would be so difficult to enter the door of King Chen's Mansion.
She turned around and returned to Shu Qingai's side, without saying anything, Shu Qingai also heard the conversation between the two.
Shu Qingai has never seen Qingyou suffer such anger, this guard is really not in oil and salt! Suddenly, that little retreat, under the stimulation of that guard, Shu Qingai disappeared like a chicken blood!
Shu Qingai gave Qingyou a slightly calming look, and there was already an extra dagger in his hand.
"This brother, please take a look at this dagger, it was given to me by your King Chen, if you don't even bother to report it today, then when your King Chen learns about it in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Saying that, Shu Qing fell in love with the dagger in her hand, which had been given to her by Mochen.
There was a clear looseness in the eyes of the guards with knives.
took the dagger in Shu Qingai's hand, looked at it, and didn't know it, but Shu Qingai's words later undoubtedly reminded her.
"You are the county lord of Hanhe?"
A guard looked at Shu Qingai very familiarly, stepped forward a little uncertainly, looked Shu Qingai up and down, and looked shocked!
This guard had the privilege of following Limo Chen to the southwest, the Cold River. It's just that Shu Qingai and Li Mochen were in the tent, and they were pressed down by Twilight, and these guards didn't know about it. But they all know that after that dinner, a village woman was directly named the county lord by the emperor.
Shu Qingai shouted her head: "Exactly, isn't this brother who knows the county lord?" Today, there are two more left
Such a self-proclaimed claim was popularized by Qingyou all the way to her in the carriage, otherwise, Shu Qingai would have to look foreign again.
When the guards heard this, they immediately bowed! There is a lot of awe in his eyes!
