Chapter 187: Entering the Palace

His expression changed so dramatically that Shang Ruyi couldn't even lie to himself that it was an illusion, and as soon as Tusheer left the room, she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

「……」

But seeing that Yu Wenye didn't say a word, he didn't even look at her anymore, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, turned around and walked to the couch and lay down.

Shang Ruyi was a little stunned again.

What's wrong with him? When I came back today, I was in a bad mood, and I just got better, but when a cup of tea was delivered, I didn't say a word, why did I seem to provoke him again?

Shang Ruyi only felt that this person's temper was becoming more and more difficult to understand, but when he thought that he was about to go on an expedition, it was not easy to deal with him.

I just sighed, drank my own tea, and fell asleep.

On the second day, she woke up earlier than Yu Wenye, and she didn't have to share the bed to show a few maids, but for some reason, after a whole night, Yu Wenye's mood still didn't improve, from washing to dressing, he didn't say a word to her.

Until they sent Yu Wenyuan to the gate.

Because of the last expedition to Liaodong, Yu Wenyuan only supervised the transportation of grain and grass in western Liaoning, and did not bring many of his own soldiers and horses, so when he returned to Taiyuan this time, he only traveled lightly, but a few carriages and a team of men and horses escorted, of course, he also took away some people who served at home, including Aunt Hui.

Yu Wenyuan stood at the gate, explained some things to Yu Wenye in detail, and then prepared to turn around and get into the carriage.

Before waiting for the carriage, he thought for a while, then turned back to Shang Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, you stay in Luoyang, you need to be careful in everything, especially——"

As he spoke, he glanced westward, and said, "Don't be careless."

The Yuwen family's house in Luoyang is in the most prosperous and lively East Market, and not far to the west is the Ziwei Palace, which is the imperial palace built by Chu Yang in the eastern capital.

Shang Ruyi immediately understood, and said softly, "Dad, please rest assured."

Yu Wenyuan said again: "You are still young, if you can't make up your mind about a big matter, talk to your elders more."

"Yes."

It seemed that he was the most worried about this daughter-in-law, and he was the most relieved, and finally after explaining, he sighed lightly, turned around and got into the carriage, and soon, a team of people left Yuwen Mansion and slowly disappeared into the morning light.

As soon as Yu Wenyuan's men and horses disappeared, Yu Wencheng, who had been standing sullenly on the side, immediately jumped up: "Oh, Dad is gone!"

Yu Wenye immediately frowned and looked back at him: "Dad is gone, I'm still here, don't think you can be lazy." Hurry back to breakfast and go to the school!"

"Second brother, Dad finally left, you just let me play for a day."

"No, go!"

Yu Wencheng probably also knew that he was iron-faced and selfless, so he could only mumble that he was taken back by a few serving maids, and Yu Wenye kept watching his back disappear into the mansion before turning around.

As soon as he turned around, he met a pair of gentle and quiet eyes beside him.

Shang Ruyi said, "Do you still want to do something today?"

Yu Wenye stiffened "um".

At this time, Mu Xian and the others had already led the horse over, Yuwenye walked down the steps and turned over the horse, and left Yuwen Mansion with people, Shang Ruyi had been standing at the door, watching his back disappear at the end of the long street, and when he turned back, he was already at the empty gate of the mansion and the quieter courtyard behind him, and he couldn't help but feel stunned. ….

In fact, Yu Wenyuan's departure has no impact on her life, although Yu Wenyuan is a prince, but the rules of the family are not big, Shang Ruyi married into the mansion, and has always been exempted from her morning and dusk, she lives much more freely than most daughters-in-law in the big family, so now that Yu Wenyuan is leaving, she has a feeling of being too free and at a loss.

However, the extremes of things must be reversed.

Just when she was staying at home and had nothing to do, the porter outside suddenly came to report - someone from the palace had arrived!

When Shang Ruyi heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately bounced.

Tushe'er, who was accompanying her, was also startled, and stammered, "Miss, why is there another person in the palace? Right now

The prince is not here, and my uncle is also out, what should I do?"

Although it was a little sudden, Shang Ruyi still settled down and hurriedly said, "Go out first, and then talk when you meet someone."

So, he immediately straightened his clothes and hurried to the hall.

As soon as I entered, I saw a tall and thin, young chamberlain standing inside, Shang Ruyi walked over and hurriedly said, "Father-in-law."

When the waiter saw Shang Ruyi, he greeted him with a smile: "Madam, our family is polite."

Shang Ruyi was slightly stunned, but then he remembered that Guan Yundui had died, and to outsiders, he could already be called "Mrs. Yuwen".

She settled down, hurriedly returned the salute, and invited him to sit down for tea, but the waiter refused and smiled: "Our family came with the words of the queen's mother, so we won't delay." Madam, the queen mother has been with Madame since Yanmen County, and she misses her very much, and wants to invite Madame into the palace to talk, I wonder if Madame is willing?"

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

She then remembered that Yu Wenyuan had mentioned a few days ago that the queen had sent someone to tell him when he was about to leave the palace after he finished the morning court, and wanted to let him enter the palace to talk to her, but she didn't expect that the will would come so soon.

Moreover, the summons of the queen, who dares to say that it is unwilling?

Although Shang Ruyi was also a little weak in his heart, he immediately smiled and said, "It is my blessing to be able to get the blue eyes of my mother. It's just that I haven't had time to make up—"

The chamberlain smiled and said, "Madame is graceful and luxurious, and her regular clothes are already very decent."

「……」

It seems that she can't hide, and she doesn't have time to prepare for her anymore.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, and then smiled, "Then, please ask your father-in-law to lead the way."

The attendant immediately raised his hand: "Madame, please."

So, Shang Ruyi only took Tusheer and the waiter to go out together, only to find that there was already a richly decorated carriage waiting outside, seeing that the shape was indeed a carriage in the palace, so he took Tusheer on the carriage together, and soon, the waiter also got on the horse on the side, and left Yuwen Mansion with the carriage.

All the way to the west, after walking a few streets, gradually, the surroundings became quieter and quieter.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a tall palace gate.

However, this is not the main gate of Ziwei Palace, but the Xuanren Gate on the east side. The waiter laughed and said, "Madam, you can't take the car anymore when you enter the palace gate, Madame has to work harder, and besides, the people who follow you can only follow here."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "This is the rule." ….

After saying that, he turned around and told Tusheer twice to stay here and wait, and he continued to walk in with the waiter.

Entering the palace gate, it seemed that there were tall palace walls all around, and the vision was not wide, but the road under their feet was farther and longer than the avenue of the fang market outside, and they walked all the way inside, through a spacious square, and through a gate.

In front of me, a huge palace appeared.

The palace is several zhang high from the bottom, and there is no side hall around it, but it is heavily guarded, almost three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and there are countless little eunuchs running back and forth with their heads down.

The attendant said, "This is the Zuozang Palace."

Shang Ruyi nodded cautiously and did not answer.

She had faintly heard that Zuozang Palace was the treasury of the Daye Dynasty, and it was naturally much more important than other palaces, and she didn't ask much about this kind of sensitive place, and didn't even look at it much, she only lowered her head and followed the waiter to continue walking.

After passing the Zozo Palace, the road ahead seems to be longer.

The attendant smiled and said, "Madame, be more patient, let's go around to the Anning Gate now, and after passing the Anning Gate, we will arrive at the East Palace."

Shang Ruyi smiled, "Yes."

This section of the road is longer than the previous road, the towering palace walls on both sides are like two rows of tall and heroic guards, expressionless, only staring at them coldly, Shang Ruyi walked more and more, the lighter his steps became, but he couldn't hide the echo of the footsteps in this palace wall, but it was even more frightening.

Finally, a palace gate appeared in front of him, which was the Anning Gate.

When the chamberlain was about to lead her through this palace gate, Shang Ruyi suddenly looked up and saw that there seemed to be a bigger and more majestic palace gate hundreds of steps ahead, and couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law, where is it—"

The inner attendant also glanced at it and said with a smile, "That's the Xuanwu Gate."

"Xuanwu...... Door?"

"Yes,"

The chamberlain said with a smile while taking her inside: "Madame doesn't know if you have been to Daxing City, this Ziwei Palace was built by His Majesty in accordance with the Daxing Palace in Daxing City, Xijing, and all the palace courtyards are the same as the palaces in Xijing - only this Xuanwu Gate, the Xuanwu Gate of Daxing Palace is much bigger than this, and it is also much more powerful. When Madame has the opportunity to go to Xijing to have a look, I'll know."

Shang Ruyi's mind was a little chaotic, and after a while, he responded in a low voice: "Yes."

The chamberlain looked at her a little distracted, but when she entered the palace and was frightened by these scenes, he didn't say more, and took her all the way forward, and after a while, he arrived outside the queen's palace.

The palace is very large, although it is not majestic, but it exudes an air of tranquility.

Several doors and windows were closed, only the middle door was slightly hidden, as if it had been waiting for her arrival, the inner attendant led Shang Ruyi over, reported inside, and immediately, two young and beautiful palace maids came out, politely leading Shang Ruyi in.

As soon as he entered the door, there was a burst of warm incense coming immediately, and the warmth also made Shang Ruyi feel a lot more soothed.

Looking up, the palace in front of you is delicate and wide, a huge screen divides the palace into two rooms, the screen is made of solid wood, so you can't get a glimpse of the inside, but generally speaking, the palace is an inside and outside guests, and guests naturally can't enter the inner room at will; Outside the palace, there are several couches, as well as various incense burners, braziers and exquisite lampstands, which are obviously used by the queen to meet her courtiers.

And the one sitting directly above, dressed in brocade clothes, and dignified in appearance, is none other than Queen Jiang!

Shang Ruyi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "The courtiers meet the queen!"
