Muzi: "This is called Yeting Palace. The queen only lives in one of the palaces, and the others are the residences of the emperor's concubines."
So this is ah.
o
Qiucao blushed, feeling deeply ashamed of her lack of knowledge. She didn't know what to say at all. Fortunately, several palace maids who came to greet them stepped forward in time to alleviate Qiucao's embarrassment.

Muzi nodded, held Qiucao's hand, and followed Chulan up the steps with square tiles, passed through the long corridor, and stopped in front of the solemn and elegant Li Zheng Hall.
Chulan asked them to stay here later, bowed and entered the hall, and came out to welcome them in after a few minutes.
Although she was full of curiosity about this simple and vibrant palace and wanted to take a good tour, Qiucao restrained her eagerness and quietly followed Mu Zi, kneeling and worshiping as he did.
Although not everyone has the opportunity to visit the palace, this is the palace after all. The person I want to see is the queen who is inferior to one person and outnumbers ten thousand people. I know nothing about palace etiquette. For the sake of my own life, I must behave in a sure way.
Be very cautious.
Qiucao didn't want to be beheaded like those concubines and maids in history books or TV dramas who lost their heads just because they said a wrong word.
However, her worries seemed to be somewhat unnecessary, because after getting along for a while, Qiucao found that the queen was unexpectedly amiable. Not only did she not blame them for being late, but she greeted them very warmly without any airs.
Looking at the Queen who is nearly sixty years old and has a kind face, Qiucao can't help but feel gloomy. How can someone who can sit in the position of Queen be kind-hearted? When she was young, her hands must have been stained with the blood of many concubines and ministers!
Well! This must be the case, so you must be careful when dealing with it.
Qiucao secretly clenched her fist in her heart.
Thinking of this, Qiucao became even more vigilant when she responded to the queen's words with a smile.
A few people happily drank tea and ate exquisite snacks while chatting briefly.
As they chatted, the topic naturally turned to the marriage granted by the emperor. The queen seemed to suddenly realize that she had talked about a sensitive topic and became evasive.
