Chapter 140 First Entry into the Palace
On the first day of June, big red lanterns were hung in front of every store in the whole western capital, and the little two in the inn restaurant also changed into festive clothes. The whole western capital was full of joy, and even the beggars on the street were much less.
A team of officers and soldiers patrolled back and forth on the street, carriages and sedan chairs all rushed in the same direction. The meridian gate of the imperial city at the end of this direction.
Today, the five doors of the Meridian Gate were opened, and all the carriages and sedan chairs stopped in front of the Meridian Gate. The officials and nobles who came to the banquet consciously entered from the four doors around the front door in order.
Although the main door was open, no one passed through it. When Lianyu saw the doubt on Lianyue's face, she told her carefully.
Only then did Lian Yue understand that the main gate can only be opened in three situations. The first situation is that the emperor travels. The second situation is that when the emperor marries the queen for the first time, Fengqi can enter the palace from this door. However, this situation is rare. After all, most of the queens are with him when they are the emperor or the prince, and the third situation is It is the three champions, Bangyan and Tanhua who can enter the palace from this door when they meet the emperor. The Minister of Culture and Martial Arts needs to go through the left door, and the prince of the clan needs to go to the right. The left and right doors are usually not opened. Today's situation is special, so it is open for guests to go in and out.
Lian Yue didn't expect that there was so much attention to entering the door. Lian Yue naturally walked on the right side with Lian Yu. The carriage could enter directly. The guard guard of the door saw that it was the carriage of the Nanping Palace. He just checked it symbolically and quickly let it go.
Entering the Meridian Gate, the carriage stopped after walking for a while, and a shrill voice came in through the carriage. "I came to greet the princess by the order of the empress dowager and ask the princess to move."
As soon as Lian Yue heard this voice, she was a eunuch. Not to mention that the people described their voices as rooster voices, Lian Yue couldn't help laughing. He was stared at by Lianyu's warning and went back.
Lanshui helped Lianyu tidy up her appearance, so she stepped forward and pushed the door of the carriage. When she was about to get out of the carriage, she was pulled by Lianyu from behind. Lanshui knew what Lianyu meant, so she did not force her. She asked Lianyu to get out of the carriage first, and then Lian Yue and Yaoyao left herself at the end.
Lian Yue is also powerless about Lan Shui's behavior. No matter what she and her elder sister do, she can't always change Lan Shui's idea. She always deliberately lowers her identity. It seems that only after the real eldest brother marries Sister Lan into the door, she may try to change.
After Lian Yu got out of the carriage, she saw Chang Xin leaning down and waiting for him to wear a red embroidered crane robe next to the carriage. He was moved. This Chang Xin was a great eunuch serving the empress dowager. He usually did not leave him easily, but now he is standing here. His eyes also noticed the two double-step cars in front of him. It seemed that the news of the Empress Dowager was still very well-in-in-tutter and cared about the identities of several people in the carriage.
Lian Yu got out of the carriage with the arm handed over by Chang Xin and thanked him gently, "There is a good father-in-law."
"Isn't the princess saying that she is a slave? The servant of the princess is the blessing cultivated by the slave in her previous life. How many people can't ask for it?" As soon as he heard it, he was a talking master, and his voice was not so harsh in his ears.
Lian Yue followed Lian Yu out of the carriage and looked around quietly.
Before going out this morning, Lian Yu specially told Lian Yue that she was not allowed to look around through the window in the carriage. Therefore, Lian Yue only knew that they had entered the palace, but did not see what they looked like in the palace.
Subconsciously, she thought that the palace was just a house a little bigger than the Yue family, but now after getting out of the carriage, she knew how narrow her subconscious was.
Looking into their eyes, the place where they are staying now is a bluestone square, which is surrounded by two vermilion-red walls. A red wall yellow tile and a wooden hall with a red wall and a golden gate in front of them is built on a five-meter-high white jade platform foundation. It is magnificent in the sun, but this solemnity is not It can be compared with Yuefu.
Lianyue suppressed the shock in her heart, and the surprise in her eyes flashed, and her face returned to normal. Learning from what Lianyu had just looked like, she got out of the carriage with Changxin's arm.
Her performance made Lianyu nod secretly in her heart, and also fell into Chang Xin's eyes. In my heart, I compared her with the shocked Yaoyao who had already poked out half of her body behind me and turned her big eyes back and forth, and I guessed the identity of Lian Yue.
He secretly praised in his heart that she was worthy of being a girl from the Yue family. She was indeed in a different place. She had lived in the palace for a long time, but every time she stood in front of the Taihe Hall, she was full of awe. She just stayed in the palace for a long time, and others could not see any clues from the appearance. But this girl Yue, for the first time to have the current performance, is really rare.
The reason why the royal family chose the place to change is also a deterrent. But obviously, this deterrent doesn't have much effect on some people.
The flattering smile on Chang Xin's face is also a little real. As for Yaoyao's outrageous shock, there is no difference in Chang Xin's eyes. No matter how ridiculous the realization in the carriage is, it is not that he is a slave who can give color at will.
After the blue water came out, his performance was even better than that of Lianyue. There was no strange color in his eyes from beginning to end, and his behavior was generous. She can lower her identity in front of the Lianyue sisters, but it's different in front of outsiders. After Lian Yu's inadvertent reminder, Lan Shui quickly corrected her position. This time, unlike the past, she also has the identity of the future young lady of the Yue family.
For the matter of the blue girl, Chang Xin has also heard the Empress Dowager mention it in the past two days. He was somewhat contempt in his heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, the performance of the blue girl made me look at with new eyes, and the contempt in her heart also disappeared. Although the blue girl is dressed too elegantly, this temperament alone has compared those women. It seems that the empress dowager's abacus this time may not be as expected.
Lian Yu kept Chang Xin's eyes changed in her eyes. When Lan Shui fell to the ground, she pulled up Lan Shui's hand. She looked at the still sighing Yaoyao and laughed and scolded, "It seems that Yao Yao hasn't seen enough yet. Let's just leave her here alone." There is no trace of blame in the tone. Lianyu appreciates the simple character of Yaoyao very much.
Yaoyao reluctantly withdrew his eyes and said coquettishly, "I've seen enough. I've seen enough. Sister Yu can't leave me alone. This place is so big, Yaoyao will definitely get lost."
"You," Lian Yu just said, how could she be left here? Lian Yu turned her eyes to Chang Xin and said politely, "Let Mr. Chang laugh."
"The princess laughed, and the slave said hi to several girls," she shook the brush in her hand and respectfully saluted Lian Yue. "The empress dowager was talking about several people early in the morning, and now she is also thinking about it in her heart. It's troublesome to drive away."
Lian Yue nodded as a return gift. Lian Yu took the lead in taking Lian Yue to sit down on the front step, and Lan Shui and Yao Yao sat on the back.
Xiangju, Xianglan, Xiangzhu and Xiangmo, who just followed the carriage, stood on both sides of the left and right. Lian Yu nodded slightly to Grandpa Chang, and the eunuch's unique voice sounded again, "Let's go."
The eunuchs lifted the eunuch steadily and passed through the open vermilion gate in the west. In front of them was an alley with a width of two feet. The eunuch and the maid of honor stood down on both sides of the road with low eyebrows and waited for the step to move.
On the way, Lian Yu whispered to Lian Yue that the place they are going to now is Cining Palace, which is the residence of the Empress Dowager today. Before the dinner, all the women will gather there, and then whispered the precautions in the palace to Lian Yue.
Waiting for Lianyue to nod, he asked Mr. Chang, who followed him on the right side of the step, "The mother's nearest body is safe, and the cough is better?"
"Princess, after entering the summer, the empress dowager's cough has improved day by day. Now it has healed 90%. The empress dowager often said to me that it's thanks to His Royal Highness. If it hadn't been for the prince who often made the Empress Dowager happy, the disease would not have recovered so quickly."
"It's the mother who loves Ke'er and doesn't dislike his harassment," Chang Xin praised his son Lianyu's face becoming more and more kind, and his voice was also a little friendly. "If there is anything wrong with Ke'er, please give more advice."
"The princess is polite. This is what the slave should do. What's more, His Royal Highness has done a good job."
Lian Yue thought, that's of course. Her nephew is not only cute, but also has a particularly sweet mouth, and he is so dark. If he wants to please people, of course, it's not a problem.
