There were still two hours before the palace banquet, but there was a surge of traffic at the palace gate. A large number of guards were assisting the traffic. All carriages arriving at the palace gate were not allowed to stop. After putting down the people, they quickly drove away.
Hua Lin, who was dressed in a rich dress, was sitting in a blue carriage, looking at the queue in front of him, and then looking down at the blue sky and water on his body, he suddenly felt like he was dreaming.
"Where did your father get so much money to afford such an expensive Tianshui Bi!" Hua Lin saw that she would have to wait for a while, so she started chatting with the mother-in-law who was waiting for her.
The old woman claimed her husband's surname was Zhang, so Hua Lin called her Mrs. Zhang. At this moment, the old woman Zhang was sitting with her eyes lowered and her eyebrows lowered. When Hua Lin asked her, she smiled and replied: "Miss is the master's beloved daughter. For the sake of the master,
Miss, let alone these tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if the miss wants the stars in the sky, the master will definitely do his best to pick them!"
Hua Lin sneered: "Really? It's a pity that I don't want the stars in the sky!"
Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "Miss, don't worry, you will be the most beautiful in these clothes. It will be difficult for the prince not to notice you!"
Along the way, Mrs. Zhang said this again and again, but Hua Lin never tired of hearing it. Seeing that she was gradually approaching the palace gate, she said: "Take out the cloak!"
Mrs. Zhang nodded quickly and took out a white lace-embroidered cloak from the baggage she carried with her. Hua Lin put the cloak on and tightly hid the sky and water green inside.
Such good clothes can naturally be "revealed" at critical moments![
Slowly, the carriage approached the palace gate, and immediately a guard came forward to check the invitation. The woman got out of the car first, handed the invitation over, then turned around and took out a small bench from the secret compartment of the carriage and placed it on it.
After getting off the carriage, he turned around and called: "Miss, you can get out of the car!"
Hua Lin covered her body tightly with a cloak, bowed and got out of the carriage, holding the cloak with one hand and supporting Mrs. Zhang's outstretched hand with the other, and slowly stepped on the small bench and got out of the carriage.
At this time, the guard had already checked the invitation. Since he was a guard who was often on duty at the palace gate, he naturally knew Hua Lin, so he nodded and let him go.
Hua Lin and Mrs. Zhang were about to walk inside when they heard a woman behind them whisper: "Prince An Dinghou has arrived!"
Hua Lin's heart moved. He raised his eyes and saw a tall man in his twenties, wearing bright red mud gold python pattern arrow sleeves. His skin color was slightly brown, his eyebrows were thick, and his eyes were dark.
He has square cheeks and is extremely resolute. He is currently sitting on a black horse. He has passed the waiting carriages and driven towards him. Many noble ladies have come to the carriage curtains and looked at them infatuatedly.
looking at.
"So he is Hu Yan!" Hua Lin only lost his temper last time and didn't take a good look at Hu Yan's appearance. Now he took a closer look.
But no matter how good it was, it was not as good as the Abao she had grown up with! Hua Lin turned around and walked into the palace gate with her mother-in-law.
Hu Yan raised his eyes and looked at the woman in white in front of him. He curled his lips slightly, handed the invitation to the guard for inspection, then mounted his horse again and entered the palace gate.
Hu Yan was one of the few allowed to ride a horse in the palace!
After a while, Hu Yan caught up with Hua Lin on horseback, but he did not stop, but walked straight away.
In front of Hua Lin walked an official lady wearing a pure white eight-piece Hunan skirt. She looked at Hu Yan's back infatuatedly, and after a long time she said to a slightly older woman next to her: "Then
The title is Prince An Dinghou, and he is indeed as talented as the rumors say, but it is a pity that the young lady from the Hua family is not lucky. The marriage talks have already begun, but a daughter of the Yongzhou prefect has taken the lead!"
The woman's words were full of disdain. Nowadays, those who can enter the palace to admire the moon and participate in palace banquets are the lowest of the fourth rank. The Yongzhou prefect is only a fifth rank, and he is not a Beijing official. The prefect's daughter
, naturally you can’t get into the eyes of these ladies!
The older woman smiled and shook her head and said: "Cousin, you only know one thing but not the other. Some people say that Prince An Dinghou was dissatisfied with his marriage to Miss Hua Family, so he found the reason.
, Now the Anding Marquis Mansion has made it clear that it would rather marry the daughter of a prefect than that Miss Hualinhua who has high aspirations!"
Hua Lin listened from behind and suddenly felt angry. It was obvious that she looked down on Hu Yan, so why did Hu Yan look down on her now? She was about to step forward to argue with the two women.
The old lady Zhang quickly grabbed Hua Lin and said, "Miss, don't delay this important matter!"
Hua Lin bit her lip, and then she could bear it no longer, and then told Mrs. Zhang, "Let's go to Qiankun Palace to see my Aunt Chu first!" [
Mrs. Zhang responded quickly.
At this moment, in the flower hall of Liu Guogong, the light-hearted woman Mrs. Liu from Liu Guogong's mansion came to meet her and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you Mr. Yan's sister? Why are you looking at..." Mrs. Liu looked up and down again, and then she suddenly realized, "I never thought that the famous Mr. Yan Jiu is actually a woman. She is really a woman who can't be compared to men!"
Yan Wan quickly saluted and said, "I made the Duke and Madam laugh. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble the Duke and Madam this time!"
Mrs. Liu Guogong smiled and said: "Miss Yan, you are so polite. I think it was thanks to your help back then. Now, it is time for me to return the favor. If there is anything Miss Yan needs help with, just ask!"
Yan Wan saluted again and said, "I heard that the Duke's wife is going to the palace to attend a banquet, right?"
Mrs. Liu Guogong nodded and said, "Indeed, if I hadn't received your letter from Miss Yan, I would have been ready to set off right now!"
Yan Wan quickly said: "That's great, can you take Yan Wan to the palace to have a look?"
Mrs. Liu Guogong was stunned.
Previously, the only thing missing from Duke Liu's infertility was traditional Chinese medicine, which he couldn't find anywhere in the Duke's mansion. Later, she met Master Yan Jiu, who was disguised as a man, and gave her the medicine. Now she has made it.
"Nai", "Nai", I always feel grateful for Yan Wan's gift of medicine that day, so after receiving Yan Wan's letter today, I came out to meet him, but I didn't expect that Yan Wan would make such a request!
Bringing people from other countries into the palace is indeed no small matter! What's more, as far as she knows, Yan Jiu seems to be from Luo country, so bringing people from a foreign country into the palace...
Mrs. Liu Guogongfu was a little hesitant and said awkwardly: "Miss Yan has helped me at Liuguogongfu before. I really should help you with this. But Miss Yan, can I ask you the purpose of going to the palace? This is the palace after all.
This is not an ordinary place. If something goes wrong, our Duke Liu's Mansion will be worried..."
Yan Wan quickly said: "I have heard of Queen Chu's name for a long time. I admire her very much. I have wanted to meet her for a long time. It is a rare opportunity to have such a chance today!"
"It's as simple as just wanting to see the Queen?" Mrs. Liu Guogong didn't believe it.
Yan Wan nodded, "When the time comes, I will definitely follow Mrs. Liu Guogong, and I will never cause any trouble to Mrs. Liu Guogong!"
Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, as long as she let her personal mother-in-law take care of her and not let Yan Wan move around and stay by her side, then...
"Miss Yan, you have been very kind to me. In this case, I will take you into the palace. But Miss Yan, you must remember what you just said and never move around!" Mrs. Liu said.
Yan Wan nodded quickly.
Mrs. Liu asked her personal maid to fetch a maid's uniform and asked Yan Wan to change into it. Seeing that it was getting late, she prepared to go out and enter the palace.
Outside the palace gate, Mrs. Huangfu and her family also arrived. Huangfuxin was sitting on the carriage, constantly lifting the curtain to look at the grand scene outside, unable to take it off.
"Sister-in-law, look at this palace. It hasn't changed much since we left it. It's still so majestic and spectacular. It's just that all these people have changed and I don't recognize any of them!" Huangfu Xin couldn't help shouting.
Mrs. Huangfu quickly pulled her head in and whispered: "What does it look like? Where are the rules I learned before? You are not even as good as a junior!"
Mrs. Huangfu was talking about Jin Yu. At this moment, Jin Yu calmed down and sat upright in the carriage. In fact, his whole body was shaking with nervousness.
Although she had been to the palace several times, she was always led in by Yingqian. She had never seen such a big scene before. She hadn't even gotten off the carriage yet, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She could only be honest.
Sit down honestly and close your mouth to avoid making too many mistakes by doing too much and making too many mistakes by talking too much!
Huangfu Xin glanced at Jin Yu and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Jin Yu is scared. Look at her, she is trembling all over!"
Mrs. Huangfu frowned and whispered: "Anyway, you have to understand the rules. Now we are Yiqing's relatives. We can't embarrass Yiqing. If you can't do it, go back now. I will take Yao'er myself!"
When Huangfu heard this, he immediately became frightened. He quickly sat down and said, "If you don't want to take a look, I won't take a look. I'll get off the car and take a look later!"
Mrs. Huangfu frowned.
Slowly, the carriage approached the palace gate, and a guard came up to ask for the post. Mrs. Huangfu quickly took out the post and called Huangfu Xin and Jin Yu to get out of the car.
The guard hurriedly said: "The people from Qiankun Palace have just told me, Madam, just take the carriage and go directly to Qiankun Palace, and then go to the palace banquet from Qiankun Palace!"
After the guard finished speaking, he let people go.
Old Mrs. Huangfu was stunned. Does that mean they can go in in a carriage? Before she could react, a eunuch had already come over, leading the carriage of the Huangfu family, and went straight into the palace gate.
Huangfu Xin said happily in the carriage: "Look, Yiqing is doing things rightly. We are Yiqing's family, how can we walk in like those people!"
However, Mrs. Huangfu stopped the eunuch in front of her, opened the curtain and said with a smile: "My father-in-law, please excuse me. We can just get off the car here. Please help us lead the way!"
Huangfu was stunned and asked: "Sister-in-law, what are you..."
Mrs. Huangfu whispered: "Yiqing is filial, but you don't even look at it. Everyone is coming down to walk. Why should we be so ostentatious? It's not like we can't walk!"
Jin Yu also agreed: "Let's go, it's not bad to see the scenery in this palace. Auntie, isn't this your first time entering the palace!"
Huangfu felt a little discouraged. It was such an honor to enter the palace in a carriage, but Mrs. Huangfu and Jin Yu had to leave! In this way, wouldn't they be just like those ladies?
Mrs. Huangfu got off the carriage first without waiting for Huangfu's consent, and soon after, Jin Yu also got off.
"Ah Jin, Yao'er, you should dismount too! You two are still young now and don't have any official positions. How can you ride a horse and run rampant in the palace!" Mrs. Huangfu said, asking Ah Jin and Wu Yao to also dismount.
"Sister-in-law, you are really..." Huangfu stomped his feet and had no choice but to get off the carriage.
After entrusting the carriage and horse to a chamberlain, Mrs. Huangfu took Jin Yu and others and followed the father-in-law into the Qiankun Palace.
An eunuch who had been quietly following the Huangfu family's carriage since it entered the palace quickly went to Ci'an Palace to report the news.
"Really?" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor was stunned and said with a smile, "This old Mrs. Huangfu is worthy of being from everyone's family. She is thoughtful and thoughtful, and she didn't let her be fooled!"
The woman next to me stepped forward and said, "Why did the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor test them?"
The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor sighed and said: "Now the emperor only loves the queen, and he has appointed the queen's eldest son as the prince. Now the queen can be said to be favored with honor and favor for a while. If the queen's family takes the opportunity to show off their power, do you think it will be a blessing or a disaster for the country?
?”
The woman was stunned and immediately understood, "No wonder the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother had previously sent a message to the front and asked the guards guarding the palace gate to invite them to enter the palace in a car. That's it!"
"They still know how to advance and retreat, and they did not disappoint the Ai family!" The Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor nodded.
At this moment, Huangfu didn't know anything about the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor. He kept nagging along the way, "Sister-in-law, why haven't you arrived at Qiankun Palace yet? You are really a dead man! You said, why don't you leave the big carriage alone?
To sit and walk on two legs, this is really..."
"Auntie, please stop nagging, we are almost there!" Jin Yu said irritably. She was not used to wearing this kind of brocade clothes, and the weather was hot, so she was really irritated. She really wanted to take off this brocade dress and put on something new.
Go for sweat-absorbent cotton clothes!
Mrs. Huangfu, on the other hand, was calm and composed, graceful and dignified. She walked in front without squinting, and allowed the two of them to chatter away.
The palace banquet was held in the Bixin Pavilion in the Imperial Garden. Ah Jin and Wu Yao were old after all, so the eunuch took them to the Bixin Pavilion first. Before leaving, Huangfu Xin and Jin Yu
He kept telling the two of them.
"Well, they are ten years old and know what they should and shouldn't do. Besides, there are guards guarding the palace, so they don't dare to mess around!" Mrs. Huangfu said calmly.
Huangfu Xin and Jin Yu had no choice but to give up, chattered a few more words, and then watched them leave with the servants.
Mrs. Huangfu took Huangfu Xin and Jin Yu directly into the Qiankun Palace.
At this time, Ruimin also arrived with the bell. She was always very casual, so she went straight into the palace gate in a carriage without anyone else telling her.
"It's still early before the palace banquet starts. Generally speaking, the young men will gather in the side hall next to Bixin Pavilion to discuss poetry and make mistakes, pretending to be elegant, while the girls will gossip in the flower hall on the other side.
At this moment, I want to go to Ci'an Palace to say hello to the Queen Mother of the Holy Ancestor. Are you going to see your Mr. Yu, or..." Ruimin teased Lingdang.
Lingdang hurriedly said: "Just accompany the princess to Ci'an Palace. Lingdang is waiting outside!"
"You are so stupid. After finally entering the palace and meeting your future husband, why would you follow me to meet an old woman? Let's do this. I will let someone take you around. Don't worry about Young Master Yu.
, come naturally in a moment!" After Ruimin finished speaking, he ignored Ling Dang's objection and directly ordered a maid nearby, "Do you know what to do?"
The maid quickly responded.
Lingdang said quickly: "Don't bother the princess to worry about it, Lingdang..."
"You and Mr. Yu are already engaged, so what are you afraid of when we meet? Don't worry!" Ruimin thought that the bell was shy, so he immediately made up his mind. He put down the bell not far from Bixin Pavilion, and went straight ahead.
Go and pay your respects to the Holy Ancestor Queen Mother.
Lingdang was a little uneasy, so she had to follow the maid around. She didn't know when she came to a side hall, and the maid said: "Miss Lingdang, just stay here. There is a flower hall here with a good view.
For a while, everyone is in front, no one is coming, and Miss Lingdang is just talking to Mr. Yu!"
The bell had no choice but to answer.
After sitting for a while, a maid actually brought Yu Lin Zhi. Ling Dang quickly stood up and looked at Yu Lin Zhi's face with embarrassment.
Yu Linzhi took a look at Lingdang and saw that she was wearing a fresh color and a pair of tourmaline hairpins on her head, which made her whole person extremely vivid. In addition, she had a thin body, flat chest, narrow shoulders, and a slim waist.
She has narrow hips and moves like a weak willow supporting the wind. She has a ladylike temperament. She immediately smiled and said, "This dress suits you very well. It's very beautiful!"
As soon as Lingdang heard this, her face turned even redder, and she quickly lowered her head, exposing her thin white neck.
Yu Linzhi was happy in his heart and whispered: "There is a small pond in front with lotus flowers in bloom. Although it is not as beautiful as Bixin Pavilion, it is better than being quiet. Let's go there and have a look. As we walk,
Would you like to talk?"
The bell rang quickly.
Ling Dang walked in front with Yu Lin Zhi, and the two maids sent by Ruimin followed leisurely behind. The four of them walked all the way towards the small pond.
At this moment, in the Qiankun Palace, Chu Yiqing was already dressed up. He was wearing a prosperous court dress. The dress was embroidered with twelve chapters, and his top was embroidered with six chapters of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects.
Shang: For Zong Yi, algae, fire, pink rice, 黼, 黻, and ten Taoist jade beads for the charm, which make her face even more beautiful and beautiful.
Just as Yingqian took out the Dongzhu to put on Chu Yiqing, she heard a palace maid coming to report: "The Queen, Miss Hua is outside the palace asking to see the Queen!"
