Even Prince Yun's carriage could not enter the palace, and the carriage stopped at the palace gate.
Mingruo put on her veil and got out of the car with the help of Aunt Dong and Zisu.
On the third day of the lunar month, the secret guards were not allowed to enter the palace openly. They handed the brocade box in their hands to Zi Su, then disappeared and sneaked into the palace.
Aunt Dong showed her palace badge and helped Mingruo walk to Changchun Palace. As she walked, she gave Mingruo some knowledge. The Xuanhe Gate they entered the palace through was closest to the harem. Generally, the palace was reserved for empress dowagers, concubines, and empresses. Please come through this door.
Aunt Dong took Mingruo along the palace roads, and she could only see the tall red palace walls and various roofs with bright yellow glazed tiles.
Probably for safety reasons, there are almost no tall trees along the way, and the flowers and plants are relatively sparse.
This palace feels grand and majestic. I have visited many gardens and palaces in my previous life. In Mingruo's eyes, this palace in Donghuan is really not that good.
Aunt Dong secretly admired that the princess was born extraordinary. The first time she entered the palace, she was so calm and composed.
Ming Ruo disliked that Prince Yun's exclusive car was moving too slowly, but a five-horse carriage was not comparable to a one-horse carriage. Shen Bichi urged all the way, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he only saw the palace's carriage. Ming Ruo She had already disappeared. Shuanghuan gave money to the eunuch guarding the palace gate, and then he found out that Princess Yunqin had left for a quarter of an hour.
Shen Bichi took a deep breath and took Shuanghuan and Cuihuan to take a shortcut to Changchun Palace.
As her biological niece, she arrived later than Princess Qinghuang. What will her aunt think of her? She will definitely be angry.
Shen Bichi hurriedly hurried until she saw the gate of Changchun Palace, and then she caught up with Mingruo and his party. Compared with Princess Qinghuang, who was slow and elegant, Shen Bichi chased in such a hurry that not only was she covered in sweat, but her bun was also covered in sweat. Somewhat loose.
Shen Bichi felt that she was about to die, and her voice could not come out: "Cousin-in-law."
"Miss Cousin, what's wrong?" Mingruo stopped and waited for Shen Bichi to come over.
I asked Aunt Dong how long it would take to take a shortcut to Changchun Palace. Mingruo walked very slowly all the way.
It would be fine if she hadn't met her in front of the palace before. If she had met Princess Shen earlier, with Bichi's cousin's white lotus attributes, she would probably complain to the princess. Why wouldn't she be allowed to get on the carriage? Wait. She went into the palace together, and then said aggrievedly that it was all her fault and that she shouldn't have made her cousin sister-in-law angry, blah blah blah...
Ming Ruo could make himself sick just by imagining Bichi's routine.
"Cousin, let's go in together." Shen Bichi walked to Mingruo in a few steps.
"Okay." As soon as Ming Ruo walked to the door, a young eunuch came in to announce.
Following the announcements, Ming Ruo walked into the palace where Concubine Shen was, and saw Concubine Shen wearing a red gold phoenix crown and purple palace clothes, sitting in the middle. On both sides were accompanied by some female family members, all well-dressed. All are gorgeous.
Concubine Shen celebrates her 45th birthday today. She probably looks younger than her actual age because she has taken good care of herself. Even if she is a MILF, she still has charm. However, her forehead is narrow, her cheekbones are slightly high, and her lips are thin. .It looks like it gives people a harsh and severe feeling.
Ming Ruo bowed politely, said birthday wishes, and asked Zi Su to present the birthday gift.
Thanks to the original owner, although he did not grow up in the palace, he still learned the etiquette and rules of the palace very well. Walking, sitting, lying, saluting, and eating as long as you are willing to do it, you will never let the nuns who teach etiquette find mistakes. Come.
Concubine Shen kept a straight face throughout the whole process, as if Mingruo owed her millions of taels of silver.
In fact, in Shen Taifei's heart, Mingruo had cheated her out of millions of money. Which of the few things Shen Bichi wanted to take back was a bargain. On a day like today, if she put out the coral and bead curtains, she would Among these ladies, the status in the hearts of young ladies is much higher.
"Give me a seat." Concubine Shen waved her hand casually, and Cailian moved an embroidered pier and placed it behind Mingruo.
Mingruo just raised his eyebrows, thanked him and sat down. This is not a formal living room, and everyone is casually seated. But if you give others a chair, you will be a embroidered pier when you come here. It is better not to be too obvious. cut.
Seeing that Aunt Cailian, who was beside Concubine Shen, moved the embroidery pier for Princess Yunqin, all the ladies and ladies present felt happy in their hearts.
Those who could come to congratulate Concubine Shen on her birthday at this time all wanted to establish a relationship with Prince Yun. As for the lady who came with her daughter, she naturally came for the position of Prince Yun's concubine.
Prince Yun is still ill, so it is naturally not suitable for him to have a concubine. But when Prince Yun recovers, it will be too late.
"Why does Qinghuang wear a veil?" Concubine Shen heard from the palace people that the third prince did not want to marry Princess Qinghuang of Nanrong because she was ugly.
She didn't believe that Concubine Shen had lived in the palace for a long time. There were very few ugly people in the royal family. After all, the emperor chose his concubine not only for family background, but also for appearance. After several generations of this, the worst thing she could do was to have mediocre appearance. Why? It's not ugly. Besides, her mother, Su Yuqing, the eldest daughter of Duke Jingguo, was also the most famous beauty in the imperial capital back then.
But today, Princess Qinghuang is covering her face with a veil, fearing that she is really ugly and cannot be seen in public.
"When I return to my mother-in-law, Nanrong women are accustomed to wearing veils. I arrived in Dongheng not long ago, and I'm still not used to it." Mingruo is not making this up, Nanrong does have this custom.
Girls who have not left the palace and brides who have not given birth will wear a veil when going out. However, this custom is only popular among royal families and aristocratic families who value etiquette, and is not practiced by ordinary people or merchant families.
Concubine Shen had already decided that Mingruo was ugly, and was still considering whether to let her take off her veil to embarrass herself. Then she heard Shen Bichi say: "Aunt, these are the embroidered shoes that Bichi made for you. Take a look. See if you like it."
After staying with her aunt for a long time, she can naturally judge her aunt's thoughts through her expressions. If Princess Qinghuang was really ugly, she would not stop her. But Princess Qinghuang is not only not ugly, she is worthy of the princess. The dress was simply stunning. She had been stunned at the gate of the palace in the morning, and she didn't want to be in the limelight again at this time.
"Let me take a look." Concubine Shen thought that she had an ugly daughter-in-law and her own face was dull. So she stopped holding on to the veil and turned her face to the embroidered shoes held in Bai Lian's hand, "Bi Chi's embroidery skills are getting better and better, and this peacock looks real."
"Not only is the embroidery work good, but the pearl in the peacock's mouth is big and round. Miss Biao is really thoughtful." Cailian had just collected the money Shen Bichi had stuffed, and tried her best to say good things, "Ms. Biao I also brought a piece of Wanfu Liuyun Brocade, which is really beautiful."
Cailian quickly brought the Liuyun brocade over and said, "It is said that this ten thousand blessing pattern is the most difficult to weave, and the weaver can only weave one foot of it in a month."
The ladies around me are the most observant. Just now, Princess Yunqin gave such a large white jade Guanyin as a gift, but the concubine didn't even give her a smile. Miss Shen boasted about the flowers when she made a pair of embroidered shoes, so everyone praised the Liuyun brocade.
