The next morning, Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu got up very early.
After a simple and casual breakfast, Ye Qinglan put on a new dress, sat upright in front of the dressing mirror and started dressing up. On her side, Ruixue and Hongluan worked together. On Gu Xiyu's side, it was Grandma Rong who took the lead.
The palace maid came to dress Gu Xiyu.
Different people have different statuses, so their treatment is indeed different!
Ye Qinglan sighed inwardly, and when Hongluan was about to apply makeup on her, he stopped her in time and said, "No need for makeup."
The maids were all startled. Ruixue coughed and reminded with a smile: "Today is not as casual as usual. Since you are going to enter the palace, it is better to be more cautious." A person's appearance is very important. On weekdays, he is wearing a plain face.
It doesn’t matter, but the one I have to meet today is the Emperor and the Queen!
Ye Qinglan smiled faintly: "Don't worry, that's all." The person Queen Gu wanted to see was not her, so why was she dressed up to stand out? It was better to calm down and just be a green leaf.
Ruixue couldn't control her temper and had no choice but to agree.
After Ye Qinglan finished tidying up, she looked at herself in the mirror. She wore a light pink short jacket with dark patterns, a sky blue skirt, and a tulle blouse. Her long hair was pulled into a simple bun with a pair of white jade hairpins on the side.
, the remaining hair hangs down to her chest smoothly. Her delicate little face is pure and fresh, and her whole person is as quiet and beautiful as a budding orchid. But she is not ostentatious at all!
Ye Qinglan nodded with satisfaction. She was dressed just right, neither rude nor stealing Gu Xiyu's limelight.
Of course, judging from Gu Xiyu's breathtaking beauty, it would not be easy to steal her limelight.
Since they were about to enter the palace, it was naturally inconvenient to bring more maids with them. Ye Qinglan only brought the steady and attentive Ruixue. As soon as she left the house, she happened to meet Gu Xiyu head-on.
Ye Qinglan looked Gu Xiyu up and down and marveled: "Cousin Xiyu, you are so beautiful today!"
Seven points of beauty and three points of dressing up, the already very beautiful woman is even more stunning when dressed up.
Wearing a crimson flowing skirt, Gu Xiyu's delicate facial features are even more eye-catching. The exquisite and complicated hair style and decent makeup cover up Gu Xiyu's youthfulness, exuding a thrilling girl who dare not look directly at her.
beauty.
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled: "You are also beautiful."
The two looked at each other and smiled, then walked to Jingxinyuan together.
It was rare for Gu Hong not to wear an official uniform today. He wore a brand-new light purple round-neck uniform. He looked very energetic and handsome. Mrs. Zheng also tidied up carefully. It seemed that he had an outstanding elegant and noble temperament.
Mrs. Zheng briefly looked at Gu Xiyu and nodded with satisfaction. A feeling of pride suddenly arose in her heart. If it weren't for Gu Xiyu's withdrawn personality and unwillingness to see people, just based on Gu Xiyu's appearance, I'm afraid that the people who came to propose marriage would have already been there.
The threshold has been crossed.
Mrs. Zheng glanced at Ye Qinglan again naturally, and secretly praised her in her heart.
Ye Qinglan is still young, her face has not yet fully grown, and today she is dressed in simple, elegant and soft clothes. Compared with Gu Xiyu's amazing beauty, it is not too eye-catching at first glance. But when you look closely, she feels that she is indescribably delicate and attractive.
Her beauty is completely different from Gu Xiyu's, but it's still the same that makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Just as he was thinking about it, a slender and elegant figure appeared gracefully.
Gu Xinian is here!
Although he was entering the palace, Gu Xinian did not dress up specially. He was dressed as usual, still wearing a plain brocade robe. His long hair was tied up, and there was a jade pendant tied around his waist. There were no other unnecessary decorations. But that's all.
Such an ordinary attire could not hide Gu Xinian's outstanding and distant look. With a smile on his lips and black eyes like jade, he looked like a handsome nobleman.
Ye Qinglan's eyes slightly touched his in the air, and within a second they both moved away as if nothing had happened.
These days, she and Gu Xiyu were learning the rules from Grandma Rong every day. They had very few opportunities to meet Gu Xinian, and the times they spoke were even rarer. She could not wish for such a scene.
Mrs. Zheng said angrily: "Xinian, today I am going to the palace to see the Emperor and the Queen. Why don't you wear new clothes?" In fact, whether to wear new clothes or not is not that important. The key is to show that you are serious.
Pay attention to the palace matter.
Gu Xinian smiled casually: "Yu'er just needs to dress up nicely. As a man, I don't know how to dress in fancy clothes."
Without waiting for Mrs. Zheng to say anything, she walked up to Gu Xiyu with a smile, took a brief look at her and praised: "Yu'er is really beautiful today."
Gu Xiyu was elated by the praise, and the corners of her lips were raised high.
Gu Xinian's eyes flicked to Ye Qinglan's face again, and he smiled lightly and said: "Cousin Lan is also very charming and charming today."
It would be fine if someone else said this, but when it comes from Gu Xinian's mouth, why does it always feel like something is wrong?
Ye Qinglan showed no joy at being praised, and responded with a smile: "Thank you very much, Cousin Gu, for the compliment."
The wariness and alienation in Ye Qinglan's eyes were clearly visible. How could Gu Xinian not see it? He twitched the corners of his lips, feeling an inexplicable unhappiness in his heart and looked away.
Next, the two of them had no chance to speak.
Everyone gathered in Shunyi Hall, then got on the carriage and drove slowly towards the imperial city.
In the carriage, Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng were chatting away, while Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu whispered: "Cousin Xiyu, are you nervous?"
Gu Xiyu shook her head first, thought for a moment, and then nodded. Although the emperor was her uncle and the queen was her aunt, she had been staying in her own small world for so many years and had never seen them at all. This
The two of them were no different from strangers in her heart.
Ye Qinglan whispered: "I'm a little nervous too!" She hadn't experienced this feeling of being a little nervous and a little excited at the same time for a long time.
Think about it, what she is about to see are the emperor and queen of this dynasty! As a time traveler, she is lucky enough to enter the palace and see them once, so her time travel is not in vain.
Gu Xiyu was not good at comforting people, so she shook Ye Qinglan's hand quietly. Ye Qinglan's heart warmed, and she held Gu Xiyu's hand firmly. She secretly made up her mind that after entering the palace today, she must do her best to protect her.
Gu Xiyu. Never let Queen Gu’s plan succeed!
That Shen Chang'an, don't even think about getting even half a step closer to Gu Xiyu!
With Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Zheng around, it was natural that it was not convenient to lift the curtains and look out. They had to sit upright all the time. The journey was long and boring. I don’t know how long it took, but the carriage suddenly stopped slowly.
Has the palace arrived yet? Ye Qinglan unconsciously perked up her ears to listen to the movement outside the carriage.
First came Gu Xinian's calm voice, and then a slightly shrill male voice. It seemed to be a eunuch guarding the palace gate. After a few words of greeting, the eunuch opened the palace gate, and the carriage slowly drove in.
Ye Qinglan tried her best to resist the urge to lift the car curtain and look out, muttering secretly in her heart. After entering the palace, she didn't even see what the palace gate looked like. What a big loss!
Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had obviously entered the palace more than once. As soon as they entered the palace gate, they stopped talking and looked dignified and solemn.
Seeing that Gu Xiyu was a little careless, Mrs. Zheng frowned and reminded in a low voice: "Yu'er, when you meet the Queen later, don't forget to salute. If the Queen asks a question, you can't nod or shake your head, you have to answer respectfully.
.Remember?"
Aunt Rong had heard these words more than once. Gu Xiyu's ears were numb when she heard them, and she hummed a little impatiently, making it clear that she didn't listen.
Mrs. Zheng gave a helpless smile, and then glanced at Ye Qinglan. The meaning in her eyes was obvious. Ye Qinglan nodded slightly.
Mrs. Zheng was relieved a little, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She was also a girl who had not left the court, but Gu Xiyu was far inferior to the smart and intelligent Ye Qinglan...
The carriage finally stopped.
The maids got off the carriage first, and then Sun and others slowly got off the carriage with the help of the maids. Gu Hong and others moved much faster, having already got off the carriage and waiting aside. Gu Xinian stood beside Gu Hong
On the side, he has a handsome face similar to his father's, but is younger, and has a graceful demeanor and a leisurely temperament, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Gu Xinian turned a blind eye to the shy and timid looks of the palace maids, and even frowned a little impatiently, then straightened his brows. The slight smile was like a mask on his face, which never fell off.
Ye Qinglan casually glanced at Gu Xinian, then looked away, and looked at the surrounding environment without any trace. Maybe he thought the palace was too mysterious before, but in fact, it was not that strange when he saw it with his own eyes. It was just the pavilion.
There are more and more exquisite pavilions, flowers, plants, trees and strange mountains and rocks abound, and the rockeries and flowing water are dizzying for the eyes.
A beautiful woman in palace attire led several palace maids to greet her. It took a lot of time just to return the courtesy.
This woman in palace attire is named Yue, and she seems to be a female official beside Queen Gu. She is about twenty-five or six years old. She is not very beautiful in appearance, but she is elegant and dignified, and her words and deeds are very decent.
While everyone was chatting, Ye Qinglan glanced at Gu Xiyu. Whenever Gu Xiyu was in a crowded place, she would become nervous unconsciously, and her pretty face turned slightly pale. If you look closely, you will find that her forehead also has a bulge.
Fine beads of sweat.
Ye Qinglan tugged on Gu Xiyu's sleeve and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'll always be with you!"
Gu Xiyu composed herself and forced out a smile. Although she was no longer as afraid of coming into contact with people, she was still far from being able to cope with it easily. It was good to be able to hold back without losing her composure at this moment.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qinglan couldn't help but feel secretly worried.
Gu Xiyu is so nervous before she even meets the emperor and empress. Don’t lose your composure later...
At this moment, I heard the concubine-in-law say with a smile: "The Queen is waiting in the palace, please come with me."
