Early in the morning, the concierge came to Lanxiang Pavilion to report that the palace had sent the father-in-law to take the fourth young lady into the palace, and the eldest lady Meng Qiuhe also sent a personal maid to do Shui Lianyue's makeup.
Before leaving, the fourth lady kept telling Shui Lianyue what to pay attention to when entering the palace. Although she entered the palace twice, she was not summoned alone, so she must pay special attention to her appearance and etiquette.
After bidding farewell to the fourth lady, Shui Lianyue got into the carriage with the help of Hongying. With the shaking, the carriage drove slowly on the street. Palace carriages with hexagonal roofs were not common. Only royal nobles could enjoy them. Pedestrians on the road saw
When the palace carriage passed by, they all gave way to the road and did not dare to block it.
In the spacious palace carriage, peach-colored gauze is hung both inside and outside the carriage. Therefore, only princesses and princesses who have not left the palace can hang gauze in this color. In the center of the carriage, there is a mahogany corner table inlaid with gold and four rhombus sides.
There are soft quilts for people to lean on.
Shui Lianyue just looked at it, leaned aside and began to close her eyes and rest her mind. She worked hard all night, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn. She was woken up again early in the morning. At this moment, she felt waves of fatigue coming over her.[
"Miss, do you want to drink some water? Do you want to eat some snacks? I looked at the plate of exquisite pastries and felt that my stomach had already started to growl." Hongying said in surprise as she looked at the pastries on the table.
There was no confirmation letter, someone was sent out suddenly, and there was no chance to have breakfast.
Shui Lianyue slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the plate of pastries, shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat it, you can eat it."
"Ah, is that appropriate?" Hongying twitched the corner of her mouth and said with an embarrassed face.
"What's inappropriate about that? It's just you and me here. It's still some distance from the palace gate. If you really don't dare to eat it, just watch it along the way." Shui Lianyue smiled teasingly,
He turned around, changed his position, and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
Hongying smiled playfully, revealing a row of white teeth, and stretched out her slender hand towards the plate of pastries, "Well, you're welcome, Hongying." After saying that, a piece of cheese puff was already placed in her mouth.
Before Shui Lianyue could regain her energy, the little eunuch outside knocked on the car door and said, "Miss, we're here."
"So fast?" Shui Lianyue suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and looked out through the gap in the car. If her estimate was correct, she would have to wait at least a while before arriving at Nangong Gate.
The little eunuch outside the car door was startled, and then he said in a flattering tone: "To answer my question, Miss, this time the imperial concubine summoned you and sent a palace car, so she came to the North Palace Gate, which is faster than the South Palace Gate."
Shui Lianyue nodded, responded, straightened her clothes, and got out of the carriage. She raised her head and looked inside the North Palace Gate. She only felt that it was slightly more gorgeous than the South Palace Gate that she went to before. There were also less weeds on the palace walls.
The guards at the Beigong Gate glanced at the little eunuch's waistband before letting him go. When Shui Lianyue passed by them, more than a dozen pairs of eyes suddenly widened. They had been on duty at the Beigong Gate for many years, and they had never seen him before.
After thinking about it, I had never seen such a beautiful official lady in my family, so I immediately stopped the little eunuch who was leading the way.
"I wonder which family's official daughter this person is next to Eunuch Ling? How come I haven't seen it before?" The leading guard stepped forward in two steps. While talking to the young eunuch, he looked at Shui Lianyue with a pair of eyes, his face showing no trace of expression.
No fear.
Xiao Lingzi nodded and smiled, and said humbly: "Third Master, this is the person summoned by the Imperial Concubine. He is also the Fourth Miss of the Shui Family." When Xiao Lingzi said this, he glanced at Shui Lianyue and thought about Shui Lian.
Yue had just given a bag of silver as reward, paused and then said: "She is also the future Princess Yu."
As soon as these words came out, the guard who asked the question visibly stiffened, his face turned pale, and he said in embarrassment: "Even so, please Eunuch Ling to lead the people there quickly, don't keep the imperial concubine waiting for a long time."
After Shui Lianyue and his party drifted away, the guards at the North Palace Gate became a little panicked. Although Princess Yu, Princess Yu, had a poor reputation outside, there were ten of them who dared to question Prince Yu.
One head is not enough to cut off.
Nangong Yu stayed in the capital these years. Although he had taken off his armor and surrendered his military power, the reputation of being able to go there still existed. It is said that when King Yu sent his army to the barbarians, he only led a few hundred soldiers to conquer the enemy country.
During the chaos on the border, he used the momentum of one man to guard the gates and captured three enemy cities in a row. His momentum was like a rainbow. After the soldiers returned, it was reported that when King Yu killed the enemy, he was brave and good at fighting, with a purple tassel.
Chopping off the enemy general's heads with a long spear, killing people without blood, coldly killing the enemy.
The legend of King Yu has been circulating among the people for three days and three nights. The guards at Beigongmen were lucky enough to see King Yu several times. He was so evil that he could not express his joy or anger, and no one could see him.
Everyone would be frightened when they see her, not to mention the fact that these little soldiers like them are so brave now that they dare to question King Yu's future concubine. They are really tired of life.
Shui Lianyue followed Xiao Lingzi for a while and then came to the outside of Linhua Palace. After Xiao Lingzi registered, she entered the palace.
Perhaps because she came in through the North Palace Gate, Shui Lianyue always had an uneasy feeling in her heart. Even if Situ Wangui was the imperial concubine, she probably wouldn't have such great rights to let a commoner's daughter in through the North Palace Gate.
I'm afraid there are other articles in it.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingzi led Shui Lianyue to the gate of Yong'an Palace. After communicating with the eunuch guarding the gate, he led Shui Lianyue and walked in.[
"My father-in-law is a celebrity around the imperial concubine." Along the way, Shui Lianyue had already taken a look at Xiao Lingzi. He was dressed more luxuriously than the other eunuchs. Even the cuffs were embroidered with fine gold threads.
, the black boots on the soles of his feet are made of official satin, and he behaves appropriately and speaks in an extraordinary manner, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary eunuchs.
Xiao Lingzi looked back and smiled slightly, turned his head and looked forward, then lowered his head and whispered: "The servants are not talented, they are not the ones serving the imperial concubine, but the emperor's accompanying eunuchs."
Shui Lianyue was startled and immediately understood. I am afraid that it was not Situ Wan who was summoned this time, but Nangong Ling. Thinking of this, a sharp flash of light flashed across her phoenix eyes, and she felt confident in her heart that she was afraid of seeing Nangong Ling this time.
Ling, he will definitely give some instructions. There are less than three days before the wedding, so she may not be able to escape.
"Oh, it turns out he is the emperor's companion. No wonder Eunuch Ling is treated differently from other father-in-laws." Shui Lianyue calmed down and said with a faint smile.
"Young lady has very good taste, and Xiao Lingzi is very impressed." Xiao Lingzi's eyebrows twinkled a little, but he smiled respectfully.
After one sentence, Shui Lianyue was too talkative, and she was more interested in admiring the scenery of Yongning Palace. Even Hongying behind her was behaving well at this time. The palace was different from other places. Rules were the most important thing. She didn't want to give it to her.
The lady is causing trouble, so it's better to keep your mouth shut.
"Fourth Miss, we're here." After a while, Xiao Lingzi stopped and nodded respectfully towards Shui Lianyue.
