In the morning, the old woman beside Mrs.

The mother-in-law said: "Today I am going to have tea at the Censor's Mansion. The girl needs to dress up nicely."

Xue Qingyin was not awake yet. She held her chin and let the maid beside her comb her hair and choose jewelry.

After all this fussing, it was already approaching noon.

At noon, He Songning and Xue Chengdong were not at home, so only Xue Qingyin and the three of them had dinner together.

Mrs. Xue rinsed her mouth, cleaned her hands, took the handkerchief, wiped her hands, and said calmly: "It's better to go to my room to get a set of jewelry for the second girl to wear."

Xue Qinghe raised his head: "No need, big brother...it has been prepared for me a long time ago."

Mrs. Xue's expression changed.

Xue Qingyin hugged her arm from the side and said coquettishly: "Mom, I'm sleepy."

Mrs. Xue's expression softened a lot and she said: "You are so lazy... that's all. You can lean on me in the carriage and nap you."

It’s just that I just finished speaking here.

Suddenly, a young boy came to report the news in a panic.

Mrs. Xue said displeasedly: "What's the matter?"

The boy's face was still filled with surprise. He stammered: "There is someone coming from the palace..."

"Inside the palace?" Mrs. Xue was puzzled.

Xue Chengdong's official son is not young, but Mrs. Xue is not a married woman, and because she has a bad reputation of being "jealous", "born in a merchant's family", "doting on her daughter without distinguishing right from wrong", etc., she has a bad reputation in the circle of ladies.

That's it.

The nobles in the palace would not show any favor to her.

So good things like people coming from the palace have nothing to do with their Xue family!

"Yes, I'm here to invite the older girl!" the young man said with sweat on his head.

For a moment, everyone looked at Xue Qingyin.

Xue Qingyin: "Huh?" She was also confused.

The person who came to pick me up was an older grandma.

"The old slave is a palace servant of Mingyi Palace. He has been ordered to take the eldest girl of the Xue family into the palace." As if she was afraid of making a mistake, she also emphasized the word "eldest girl".

Hearing this, Xue Qinghe's maid felt jealous and hateful in her heart.

But Xue Qingyin was thinking, uh, where is this Mingyi Hall?

The old nanny showed the palace token and then urged Xue Qingyin to leave.

Mrs. Xue could only suppress her worries and watch Xue Qingyin leave.

My daughter has never been to the palace... and I don’t know if something will happen?

She took a deep breath and said, "Let's go too."

We have already made an appointment with Madam Yushi, so naturally we can't let anyone go.

When they arrived at Madam Yushi's house, Xue Qinghe's master and servant could not help but show timidity.

"That's the daughter of Mrs. Yushi's family over there, and it seems to be the family of Zhongshu Shilang's family over there..."

Maid Qiuxin still has some knowledge, but not much.

Because as she spoke, her voice couldn't help but tremble.

Xue Qinghe was equally nervous.

So she would rather stay in her own little courtyard...

Mrs. Xue led the people to Mrs. Yu Shi and said calmly: "The person who came with me today is the second girl in our house. She usually likes to study and seldom goes out, and she doesn't recognize a few people..."

Xue Qinghe's master and servant suddenly felt ashamed.

Doesn't Mrs. Xue's words mean that she can't stand on the stage?

But Mrs. Censor clapped her hands and said: "This is easy to handle. My daughter is born to like to make friends. Let her lead us to play together, or we will get to know each other in two days."

The censor's daughter was beautiful, dignified, and generous. After her mother's order, she came over to take care of Xue Qinghe.

This time, Xue Qinghe's master and servant became even more timid.

After that, naturally I couldn't talk to those noble ladies.

Just when Xue Qinghe was sitting on pins and needles, the maid Qiuxin suddenly lowered her head and whispered: "We are all so uncomfortable here... I don't know what it will be like when the eldest girl enters the palace?"

yes.

Xue Qinghe was startled.

Xue Qingyin's unruly and arrogant attitude will no longer work after entering the palace. I'm afraid her performance will not be much better than her own...

The sense of shame that was pressing in Xue Qinghe's chest suddenly disappeared a lot.

But what followed was even more worry.

What if Xue Qingyin doesn't know the truth and causes trouble in the palace... and affects the Xue family?

The more Xue Qinghe thought about it, the more anxious he became.

…

Entering the palace is troublesome.

How big is the palace?

After getting off the carriage, Xue Qingyin felt that her legs were almost lame.

The old woman deliberately speeded up her pace, regardless of whether she could keep up.

Fine.

I'm just a loser.

Xue Qingyin slowed down her pace and simply admired the scenery of the palace from left to right.

How wonderful this is!

It is basically equivalent to a one-day tour of the Forbidden City without tickets...

The old nanny deliberately wanted to show off her power so that Miss Xue would know the majesty of the palace.

When she turned her head, she wanted to see Xue Qingyin out of breath.

who knows……

Okay! Let’s leave it there for an outing!

The old grandma had a long face, hurried back, and urged in a stern voice: "Girl, hurry up!"

Xue Qingyin shook her head: "I am weak and sick. If I walk too fast, I will die in front of you in a short while. Will grandma be responsible for my death then?"

The old grandma choked.

This old nanny thinks she is the most popular person around Concubine Wan, but she really doesn't dare to take this responsibility.

The old grandma supported Xue Qingyin: "What did Miss Xue say? The old slave's miserable life is not worth this little girl's life."

After saying that, his pace slowed down.

I don't know how long I walked, but I finally arrived at a door. I looked up and wrote "Guangshun Door".

After passing this gate, you can see the palaces inside, which are row upon row and very luxurious.

A faint scent of incense flew into her nose on the wind, and the palace maids passed by in groups, their skirts fluttering.

"Wait here, I'll go and report first." The old nanny left her behind and left.

Xue Qingyin didn't care and just sat on the floor leaning against the door.

She sniffed the fresh air and looked up at the clear sky. Her heart felt peaceful and comfortable.

When the old nanny came back, she was shocked: "Why did Miss Xue sit on the ground?"

Xue Qingyin tilted her head and asked her: "Are you not allowed to sit on the palace grounds?"

"...Of course not." It's just that Miss Xue's contentment exceeded her imagination.

Isn't she afraid of being embarrassed by sitting on the ground?

"I can't get up, please help me." Xue Qingyin looked up at her.

The corners of the old mama's mouth twitched. Even though she didn't want to do anything, she had already gone in to report the situation just now. She didn't dare to tease the empress.

So he gritted his teeth and still bent down to help the person up.

Xue Qingyin's whole body pressed down on her arm.

The old grandma swayed and almost doubled over.

Is this...retaliation?
