The procession entering the palace could have been mighty, but Wan Ning instructed that it could be as low-key as it could be.

There are only three sedans in total. In the front is Zhou Ruoyan's sedan chair, followed by Wanning, and in the back, Xiao Feiyan takes care of all the items that Wanning prepared for Zhou Ruoyan.

In Wanning's sedan chair, Gao Ziang accompanied her, and the sedan chair drivers seemed to be buying the most time for the master, and the speed of the car was very slow.

Along the way, both of them had very few words. Wan Ning, who was leaning on his arms, didn't say a few words, only stroked the purse that he had personally embroidered for him on his waist from time to time.

Gao Ziang instructed the palanquin man early in the morning that Zhou Ruoyan could only go to the wrong door when he entered the palace. When there was still a long distance from the palace gate, according to the rules, Wanning, who was nominally a maid, had to get off the sedan chair.

But Wanning was still desperate and didn't want to leave. In the end, I had to kiss him lightly on the lips, as if to tell him something.

Before Gao Ziang could react, Wan Ning had already turned around and wanted to get out of the car. He stared at it, and then got out of the car.

Without the emperor's order, he was not allowed to enter the palace, so naturally he could not follow up. It's not even that when he was on the job, he couldn't stay here for a long time.

Zhou Ruoyan's sedan chair was in front first, and everyone in the back could only get off the sedan chair and walk. Looking at the cold palace gate from afar, Wan Ning became scared. Obviously, Gao Ziang held her hand tightly because he was reluctant. Instead, she held her brother's hand tighter and walked more slowly.

When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Gao Zi looked at Wanning in front of him with his eyes up, straightened the broken hair on her sideburns back, and made a final advice: "After entering the palace, be careful in everything, and find a way to notify me if anything happens." ”

"Okay."

Zhou Ruoyan also got out of the car, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, and they can't escape the goodbye of the two people in front of them. Wanning held the burden in her hand, and turned back three times in one step, Gao Ziang had disappeared from sight, and she was still expecting him to appear.

……

After entering the palace, Wanning could feel that there was indifference everywhere.

Zhou Ruoyan was only temporarily arranged to live in a place, and he was received by his father-in-law, and he was not angry from beginning to end.

The room arranged, depending on the environment, is not for concubines. Wan Ning guessed that this was probably the maid's old mother's house. Still, it looks pretty clean.

Wan Ning thought to herself, the father-in-law who received her was not the master's own brother-in-law, Father-in-law Zhang. Yes, how could it be Grandpa Zhang? The master made it very clear that Gonggong Zhang was serving by the emperor's side.

She thought so, perhaps because she had come to the cold palace and was too eager to see her acquaintances.

Although I didn't want to cause a sensation, it was too bleak that no one came to the door.

A woman, entering the palace from the side door, came to a strange and cold room, and was quietly married.

Wanning suddenly felt that Zhou Ruoyan was very pitiful and felt sorry for her. Isn't it a little selfish to achieve your own goals? The emperor is also a middle-aged man, and she is still a young girl. Is it true that she can't find a good man outside the palace? Is it true that she can't find her own happiness?

Knowing that she had already entered the palace, Wan Ning still shouted at Zhou Ruoyan, "Sister." ”

Zhou Ruoyan and Xiao Feiyan both had a little doubt, if this was Wanning's strength before entering the palace, how could she shout out "Zhou Niangniang" at this moment. ”

Although she was not rewarded, everyone knows that the women sent to the palace by the Gao family, even if they are not favored, must take into account the face of the Gao family, and the high and low will have a place among the concubines.

Wan Ning regretted it, and the other two naturally didn't know what she was thinking.

"Sister, do you really want to marry the emperor? If we don't leave the palace at this moment, maybe my brother and the carriage haven't gone far yet. Wan Ning said, grabbed Zhou Ruoyan's hands, as if she was really waiting for her to say, "Okay, let's get out of the palace." ”

Zhou Ruoyan was so shocked by the sudden proposal that she couldn't speak, she was also afraid.

Looking at the two masters in front of him who were younger than herself, Xiao Feiyan knew that she had a great responsibility at the moment, and wanted to appease the two: "Miss, but we have already entered the palace, and there is no way back now, and it is impossible to go back." You have too many worries, how can you live well? We always have a few days of adaptation to a new environment, and after a few days, we don't feel so homesick. ”

"Sister Yan, I'm not just homesick. I'm just thinking that if my sister doesn't want to marry the emperor, she shouldn't marry, she should go to find her own happiness, and once she enters the palace, it is as deep as the sea! ”

Although Zhou Ruoyan was a little scared in her heart, she knew that entering the palace was not child's play, and since she came, there was no possibility of change. She actually comforted Wan Ning: "Sister, you don't have to worry about me, I am willing to marry the emperor." ”

Wan Ning looked at her, tears flashing in her eyes. Although Zhou Ruoyan said this, Wan Ning still didn't believe it, did she really follow the emperor willingly?

Maybe what you don't want to do, others will? Wan Ning could only comfort herself like this.

Wan Ning was full of infinite gratitude to her, and she had been by Zhou Ruoyan's side all day.

The first dinner after entering the palace, everyone ate tastelessly. The quality of the meals is naturally not as exquisite as in the house, not to mention the mood of eating.

After dinner, Wan Ning personally put on light makeup for Zhou Ruoyan and made herself ugly. Everything is to welcome the emperor.

In the strange palace, the three weak women were busy huddling together to keep warm, and at the same time they were busy imagining what the king of this country would be like and how he could serve him well.

During the period of waiting for the emperor's arrival, from the initial fear, to the later anxiety, and finally the more I waited, the more cold my heart became. Because the three of them were very nervous, they wondered if they wanted to sleep on the first day they came, and of course they could imagine that it was normal for the emperor not to come.

"It's not early, probably the emperor won't come. Slaves and maidservants are waiting for you to sleep, right? ”

As soon as Zhou Ruoyan heard Wan Ning say that she wanted to serve herself, she held her hand and said, "Sister Wan, I have wronged you." ”

"The slave doesn't dare, she has already arrived in the palace, how can she afford to call you sister?"

Wan Ning said this, everyone knows that she has settled down, and if she comes, she will be safe.

"Even if we can't be called that in front of people, it was my brother and sister who saved our family from fire and water, and I will never forget my sister's great kindness."

Brother is really good at choosing people, Wan Ning smiled appreciatively at her.

Li Shimin, who had been busy with government affairs all day, just wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest, so he slowed down. Maybe there is an impression in my mind, and there is an expectation that a beautiful woman will enter the palace. asked the father-in-law beside him: "I remember that the woman sent in by the Gao family entered the palace today, right?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The father-in-law asked again, "Does the emperor want her to sleep?" ”

"Well, go to her."

When the emperor came to Zhou Ruoyan's residence, she had already taken off her clothes and changed into a nightgown. It's obviously too late to see the car in formal attire, so it's just like that.

When the emperor saw Zhou Ruoyan, he was really sucked away from all his attention. Wan Ning glanced at him secretly, and there seemed to be fire in his gaze. Judging from the time his eyes stayed on Zhou Ruoyan, his brother really found the right person.

So, on the first night of entering the palace, the emperor retired all his subordinates, leaving only Zhou Ruoyan to sleep.
