Chapter 21: Before Entering the Palace

The days passed quickly, and three days later it was the National Saint Day.

The Xu family has been busy preparing clothes and accessories for their children to enter the palace on the National Saint Day these days, and Mother Sun told Ye Chuqing's brothers and sisters about the general situation in the palace, so as not to bump into the nobles without knowing the situation.

Ye Chuxia had entered the palace many times before, so he didn't listen to it again this time, and accompanied the Xu family to work.

Not long ago, the palace held a full moon banquet for the six princes, but Ye Chuqing was not invited, so he was not able to enter the palace.

On this National Holy Day, Ye Qingyun had already told the country lord Ye Chuqing about it. Therefore, when the mother of the country sent someone to pass the word, she specially explained that she wanted the Xu family to take Ye Chuqing into the palace.

Ye Chuqing didn't know much about the basic situation of the royal family of the Prayer Kingdom before, but he only roughly knew that His Majesty the current lord of the country was named Sikong Mo, who was now eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve. Nothing else is known.

However, in view of the fact that Ye Chuqing always felt that he would be able to find a way to go back to modern times after entering the palace, he didn't listen very seriously, and only listened to a rough idea.

The long-awaited National Saint Day has finally arrived.

On this day, Ye Chuqing got up early to wash, and then went to the front hall for breakfast.

After breakfast, Ye Qingyun said a few words to Ye Chuyang and Ye Chuqing, and then saw the housekeeper come and go, saying that someone from the palace was coming.

Everyone hurriedly went out, only to see the steward leading a man who looked like a fat eunuch over.

Ye Qingyun hurriedly greeted him and saluted with a smile and asked, "Father-in-law Gao is here, and I hope that my father-in-law will forgive me." ”

Gao Gonggong pinched his throat and smiled flatteringly: "What did the general say!" The miscellaneous family was ordered by Lord Ning to pick up the ladies and girls into the palace. ”

Ye Qingyun smiled and invited Gonggong Gao into the flower hall: "Wait a minute, I will let them prepare immediately." He ordered the man to serve tea to Gonggong Gao, and told Xu to take his two daughters to change their clothes quickly.

Ye Chuqing knew that she was going to enter the palace for a banquet today, so she had already run back to her room to rummage through the cabinets to find clothes.

Aunt Lan entered the room and saw Ye Chuqing's appearance, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Girl, what are you doing?" The word came from the lady's side, saying that the palace had sent someone to pick up the lady and the girls into the palace, and the girl had to hurry up and clean herself up! As he spoke, he turned around and shouted, "Qiaorong, flawless, don't come and help the girl make up!" ”

Qiaorong Wufang hurriedly entered the room, and Ye Chuqing asked Aunt Lan, "Why did the palace come to pick us up?" ”

Aunt Lan replied: "It was Lord Ning who sent someone to pick him up, and asked the lady and the two girls to enter the palace first." ”

"Huh?" Ye Chuqing looked at Aunt Lan puzzled: "Only the three of us entered the palace?" What about Daddy and Little Sun? ”

Aunt Lan couldn't help but stroke her forehead helplessly: "My girl, what you have to care about is how to dress up." The lord and the eldest prince will enter the palace before the palace banquet. Lord Ning asked you to enter the palace so early to meet the mother of the country, meet the masters of the palace, and then accompany Lord Ning to talk, and then go to the palace banquet. Now the people sent by Lord Ning are waiting in the front hall, we have to hurry up!" ”

"Oh!" Ye Chuqing then understood why Aunt Lan was so nervous. So with the help of Aunt Lan and a few people, she quickly dressed up.

Dressed in a pink narrow-sleeved shirt, a light yellow pleated skirt, a silver-white ribbon tied around the waist, and a small bow tied in front of the body. He wore a pink cloak on the outside. Wear a pair of pale red brocade pearl embroidered shoes. The hair was tied in two ring-shaped buns, dotted with a few small pink beaded flowers in the middle, and the rest of the long hair was softly draped behind him. A pair of delicate pearl drop earrings reach the shoulder.

Her face was delicate and small, with curved willow eyebrows, a pair of large, watery eyes that were smart and expressive, and long eyelashes flickering like butterfly wings. A thin layer of bangs on the front of her forehead made her smooth forehead loom out. Her nose is delicate and straight, and her plump lips are pink and watery. There wasn't much embellishment on the face, just a light layer of gouache. This kind of dress makes Ye Chuqing seem to be an elf who has fallen into the world, carved in powder and jade, fresh and beautiful, and delicate and moving.

When Ye Chuqing came all the way to the front hall, Xu Shi and Ye Chuxia were already waiting there.

Today's Xu Shi is wearing the formal dress of Mrs. Yipin, a silver-white cloak, and a serious aristocratic woman's bun on her head, and the whole person looks calm and solemn.

Ye Chuxia is wearing a light green wide-sleeved long skirt today, covered with a white gauze coat, and wearing emerald green brocade embroidered shoes. She wore a simple girl's bun on her head, two beaded flowers in her hair, and a jade hosta, and the two-inch-long tassel hanging down from the hosta swayed gently with her movements. A pair of plum blossom-shaped green earrings are in the ear, and a green silk hair is vertical to the waist. Ye Chuxia was already beautiful, and today she painted exquisite makeup, which made her look even more amazing.

The delicate melon seed face, the two curved willow eyebrows seem to be frowning, and a pair of big eyes are flowing with water, looking forward to the brilliance. A faint layer of bangs on the forehead adds a touch of delicate and pretty. With a beautiful and straight nose, full and ruddy lips, and shallow dimples on the cheeks, at a glance, it looks like a fairy who has come out of a painting.

Pray for the customs of the country, women must put down their bangs before getting married. Because of the delicate and graceful nature of the women of the country, they should cover the soft and charming between the eyebrows with bangs before they get married. Only after getting married, can you comb your bangs and expose your forehead.

Ye Chuqing looked at Ye Chuxia blankly for a long time before muttering: "I'll go, this is also too beautiful!" It's so beautiful! It's not human! "This is simply a fairy descending to earth!

Xu Shi heard Ye Chuqing's muttering, and immediately said angrily: "This kid, what nonsense are you talking about!" What is not a person? ”

"Fairy!" Ye Chuqing smiled, and happily ran over and grabbed Ye Chuxia's hand: "Sister, I found that you look really good when you dress up, if you go to participate in the beauty pageant, I promise to compare all those first-class star models." ”

Ye Chuxia was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding some of the words Ye Chuqing said. But soon she came back to her senses, scratched Ye Chuqing's nose with a smile, and looked doting: "You, it's this sweetness!" Said to Xu: "Mother, since the little sister is here, let's go!" ”

Ye Chuqing looked at Ye Chuxia and asked, "Sister, aren't you cold?" What should I do if I freeze when I go to a banquet? ”

Ye Chuxia smiled and said, "It's okay, the palace banquet was held in Guangming Hall in winter, and the earth fire dragon was burned inside." Only in the summer is the palace held open-air banquets. ”

At this time, the maid Xue Wen beside Ye Chuxia brought a pure white cloak. Ye Chuxia put on her cloak and took Ye Chuqing's hand to go out.

Ye Chuqing hurriedly said: "Wait, they haven't come yet!" ”

Ye Chuxia said with a smile: "Little sister, if you enter the palace for a banquet, you can't take a slave with you. The palace arranged for people to wait. ”

"Huh?" Ye Chuqing was stunned for a moment. Don't let you bring people? This one...... If you don't let people take you, the palace will naturally send palace maids to serve. But after all, I still don't know, and it's not as good as the people around me. But it can't be helped, it's the rule. Ye Chuqing's thoughts turned back and forth, and finally he just responded with a long voice: "Oh! ”

At this time, Ye Qingyun accompanied Father-in-law Gao out of the flower hall, and the chief housekeeper took a bulging money bag and handed it to Ye Qingyun, Ye Qingyun took the money bag and stuffed it into Father-in-law Gao's hand.

Father-in-law Gao took the money bag, and he smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth: "Ouch, the general is really polite." Tell the miscellaneous family something! How embarrassing it is! ”

Ye Chuqing pursed her lips, infinitely contemptuous of this high father-in-law. Obviously, I want it very much, and I have to say I'm sorry, this person is really good.

Ye Qingyun said with a smile: "My father-in-law is waiting by the side of Lord Ning, and his hard work is high. Our Ye family is grateful for the kindness of our father-in-law, and my father-in-law can rest assured that he will accept it! ”

Gonggong Gao accepted the money and smiled even more flatteringly, and the folds on his face were a lot: "The miscellaneous family will live up to the good intentions of the general, and the general can rest assured that the miscellaneous family will take good care of the ladies and girls along the way." ”

Ye Qingyun hurriedly thanked him and led Gonggong Gao out of the house.

Ye Chuqing looked at Gonggong Gao's like that, and goosebumps all over her body rose. This man...... Why is it so disgusting?

Anyway, Ye Chuqing intuitively didn't like this Gao Gonggong. It's not because he's a eunuch, but because he thinks this person is mercenary and open-minded when he sees money. If this kind of person is placed by his side, Lord Ning can rest assured?

Ye Chuqing was thinking nonsense, Ye Chuxia had already taken her hand out of the house, and saw the high prince waiting in front of a gorgeous carriage. It seems that this is the carriage sent by the palace to pick them up.

Ye Chuqing, Ye Chuxia and Xu Shi got into the gorgeous carriage, and Grandpa Gao sat down in another carriage and set off into the palace!
