Chapter 13: Once Entering the Palace
This day, the eighth day of the sixth month, is also my birthday.
I finally entered the palace with the book to be written. Of course, there is also the brocade box that Yuxiu gave me, which contains what she called: high-grade crane top red. I ground the red crane top into a medicinal powder, curled it in rice paper, and hid it in a piece of jade with a bit of mystery. Since Yuxiu gave me this rare and rare thing, I naturally can't live up to it. I believe that one day, it will have its usefulness.
"Little master, the Qing Gate has arrived, please get off the carriage and move into the palace in a sedan chair." The eunuch outside said respectfully.
Daqingmen! The Great Qing Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City! Since ancient times, only the emperor can walk through the Daqing Gate, and in addition, only when the emperor marries the empress, the new queen can be carried through the Daqing Gate. Through the noon gate, until the harem.
Generally, when concubines enter the palace, they can only go to the back gate of the Forbidden City, Shenwu Gate. Why...... Will I enter the palace through the Daqing Gate?
Confused, I got out of the carriage with the hand waiting for the book. As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw the sedan chair parked on the side. I sighed slightly, there is a rule in the palace that you can't take a sedan chair if you don't have a score of three grades or more.
The emperor gave me the title of Alluring City, and let me enter the palace from the main gate, and also gave me a sedan chair. Your Majesty, what is he calculating? Could it be that all this is just because my father is the protector of the country? I admit that the illustrious family background may make the emperor look at him differently. Anyway, I was once a sinner who escaped the draft!
Don't...... It was his father's high merit. The emperor specially used this trick to beat his father? As soon as I entered the palace, I would have unlimited scenery, and when I waited for the future, there would be more troubles to come to my door. Scold...... If so...... The emperor is bothered.
The position of the six-grade beauty is innumerable in the palace. It's just that the title of "Allure" and the entrance to the palace at the main gate are also unparalleled. The emperor's move, I'm afraid that I have already made a lot of enemies before I enter the palace, if I take a sedan chair again......
"You don't have to take a sedan car, lead the way! I'll walk to Chengqian Palace. After thinking about it, I still opened my mouth to the eunuch beside me.
"This is absolutely unacceptable!" When the little eunuch heard me say this, he hurriedly knelt down, "There is a distance from the Daqing Gate to the Chengqian Palace, and the slave is afraid that the little master will be tired, so the little master should sit in a sedan chair and enter the palace." This sedan chair is a gift from the saints, if the little lord does not sit ......down, "slowly, the eunuch will be silent." Yes, let me measure the stakes.
"Since it is given by God, the little Lord has the right to decide whether to sit or not. Doesn't the father-in-law still understand what the little lord means? "Waiting for books is worthy of being a maid who has been taught by my father for several years, and when the time comes, she always knows how to do the right thing.
"Slaves don't dare to ......"
"That's not leading the way! Is it possible to ask the little master to go in by himself? ”
When the little eunuch saw that one of the maids beside me was so powerful, he couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, "Yes...... Be...... Little Lord Please! ”
……
In this way, I followed the eunuch into the Forbidden City, and as soon as I stepped into this cage, I could never get out of this towering red wall again.
Looking up at the sky, the sky is clear. There is not a single cloud, the boundless blue, and the early morning sun is warm and not dazzling.
The vermilion gate opens lightly, and at a glance it is a long and endless palace road. I gritted my teeth and walked forward.
The Forbidden City, the place where my life of freedom was imprisoned.
This year, I was sixteen years old, and I was in the prime of my life.
