After the little maid led Ye Qingge around a few corners, they arrived at a side hall.

"Miss Ye, this is it. Every year during the banquet, in order to deal with emergencies, the empress will ask someone to prepare a few clothes inside. You can go in and choose one to change." The little maid said.

"Well, I understand, you wait outside." Ye Qingge said and led Lan'er into the side hall.

"Wow, Miss, the clothes here are so beautiful!" After entering, Lan'er couldn't help but exclaimed as she looked at the dazzling array of clothes in front of her.

"Well, it's quite beautiful."

Ye Qingge said that he stepped forward and touched these clothes. They were all the same in terms of material and workmanship, but there was only one thing. All the clothes inside had the same smell, which was a strong flower.

fragrance.

"Miss, would you like to change into the clothes here?" Lan'er asked.

"No, didn't we prepare clothes? Just wear what you brought." Ye Qingge said, taking two steps away from these clothes.

"Oh, okay, miss." Lan'er responded and took out the prepared clothes from the box she carried with her.

Ye Qingge likes to be extra cautious when doing things, so when he entered the palace this time, he not only brought a piece of clothing, but also prepared a gift for Queen Chu from his companions. When he first came in, the gift was given to the palace attendants below.

, this set of clothes is now in the box.

Soon, Ye Qingge changed her clothes and went out. The little maid had been waiting outside the door. When she saw Ye Qingge and Lan'er coming out, she hurriedly greeted them.

But when she noticed the clothes Ye Qingge was wearing, the little maid's eyes were stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand why Ye Qingge wasn't wearing the clothes underneath.

"Xing'er, has Ms. Ye changed her clothes?"

Just when the little maid and Ye Qingge were about to leave, a maid came over and said.

Looking at the maid who came over, she was obviously dressed much better than the little maid, and she seemed to be of a higher level.

"Sister Ruomei, Miss Ye has changed her clothes." The maid named Xing'er timidly responded.

Ruomei hummed and stepped forward and said: "Miss Ye, my name is Ruomei, and I am the maid beside the Queen. The Queen will be in the back garden now. She will go to Xiyuan to watch a play later. She asked me to come and take Miss Ye to Xiyuan first.

"

"Okay!" Ye Qingge responded.

Ruomei took Ye Qingge forward and looked at Ye Qingge a few more times. She seemed to see that Ye Qingge was not wearing the clothes in the house, so she said: "It turns out that Miss Ye has brought clothes, and the Queen has also

I’m worried that Miss Ye won’t like the clothes here.”

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern. There's nothing I don't like, I'm just used to wearing my own clothes." Ye Qingge said as she walked.

After hearing Ye Qingge's answer, Ruomei said nothing and took Ye Qingge to Xiyuan.

After walking for a while, they arrived at a corridor. Ruomei and Ye Qingge found a place to sit down first and then said: "Miss Ye, since Xiyuan is still setting up the stage, please wait here for a while. I will go with you."

The Empress said, "I will come over in a moment and then I will take you there."

"Well, you go ahead!" Ye Qingge responded.

Soon, Ruomei left with Xing'er.

"Miss, why do I feel so deserted here? There is always a strange feeling." After Ruomei left, Lan'er crossed her arms and looked around, feeling a chill on her back.

"Yeah, sure."

It would be strange if there was no strange feeling. When Ruomei brought Ye Qingge in just now, she noticed something strange. Although this was a corridor, it had been gathering dust for a long time. It was obvious that no one had come to clean it for a long time.

But now that she's here, she'll settle for it. She wants to see what Queen Chu is going to do next.

From the beginning when the little maid knocked over the soup basin, Ye Qingge had expected the next trick. All the clothes in the side room just now had a faint scent of tulips, but this season was not the time for tulips to bloom, and

Along the way she didn't see any tulips planted anywhere.

Just when Ye Qingge was confused, an elderly nanny came over supporting a plainly dressed old lady. The old lady looked like she was sick. She covered her chest with her hands and kept coughing.

, with a withered face and a thin body, as if he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

The old lady couldn't walk after coughing several times. Upon seeing this, the grandmother helped the old lady sit on a chair nearby and stretched out her hand to calm the old lady's breath. The old lady felt better now, but there was a lump in her throat.

He still let out a heavy breathing sound.

After calming down for a moment, the old lady sighed and said with gloomy eyes: "These old bones are really useless! I can only walk a few steps, and I don't know how long I can live."

The aunt on the side listened to the old lady's words and followed the old lady's back: "Brother Yu has been gone for so many years, but you still insist on coming here when the busiest days come, and you still let people keep it as it is. Let's see.

How can anyone come here?"

"They are busy minding their own business. They have already forgotten Brother Yu. I am just here to accompany her to relieve her boredom." The old lady said, stroking her chest.

The grandma on the side stopped talking and just sighed.

Just after the old lady got up and took a few steps forward, her eyes suddenly brightened as if she was looking for something.

"Shen Luo, I seem to smell the fragrance of tulips. Do you think Brother Yu is back?"

"Princess, what are you talking about? No one has planted tulips in the palace." Mammy stepped forward and said.

"No, I definitely smelled it right."

As the old lady spoke, she looked in the direction of Ye Qingge. Grandma also followed the old lady's gaze and happened to see Ye Qingge.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Mammy asked in a cold voice when she saw Ye Qingge and Lan'er's expressions changed immediately.

Listening to Mammy's question, Lan'er immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Mammy, we are here waiting for the Queen, and her maid brought us here."

"I don't care who asked you to be here, but the use of anything related to tulips is prohibited in the palace, and it is not allowed here!" Mammy stepped forward and scolded her coldly.

Before Ye Qingge could speak, the old lady raised her hand: "Shen Luo, what nonsense are you talking about? Pull these two people down. Those who should be punished with the rod will be punished, and those who should be expelled from the palace will be expelled."

"What are you guys doing standing outside? You didn't hear what the eldest princess said. Pull these two people down and punish each of them with a stick!" After hearing the old lady's words, the nanny immediately shouted to the door of the courtyard.

.

Soon, seven or eight maids and eunuchs came in from outside and stepped forward to take Ye Qingge and Lan'er away.

"Miss, what should I do?" Lan'er was a little panicked.

"Are you the eldest princess? I think there was some misunderstanding about what happened today. We didn't know that the use of tulip-related things is prohibited in this palace, and we didn't intend to use tulip incense." Ye Qingge stepped forward to explain.

"I hate people who talk nonsense the most, so hurry up and pull them out." The eldest princess scolded her again.
