Chapter 201 First Entry into the Palace

Taiji Hall is the largest palace in the palace, and it is also the place where three generations of emperors of the Zhou Dynasty held major ceremonies to welcome all parties. The civil and martial arts competitions held at the same time were all held in this Taiji Hall. In the martial arts, the eight winners will also have the final competition here.

These eight candidates will be drawn for four groups of tests in front of His Majesty. The winner enters the next round, and if he fails, the final five to eight places will be determined by the results of the previous examination. The final top three will be ordered and rewarded by His Majesty.

This pre-temporary examination happened to be during the visit of the Gaochang envoy to His Majesty the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. His Majesty specially invited the son and princess of Gaochang in the envoy to the palace to watch. In order to show the friendship of the Zhou Dynasty to Gaochang, the two empresses, the harem, Concubine and Concubine Song, specially invited some women to the palace to watch and entertain the princess of Gaochang.

Of course, Lu Xianger doesn't know these things. Early in the morning, Lv Hong was sent out of the door. Lv Xianger and Chaoxia wanted to visit Lv Erniang at the Guogong Mansion. Today is a big day. Lv Erniang must remember Lv Hong. The two want to accompany Lv Erniang to wait for the news in the palace.

Unexpectedly, Lv Xianger and Chaoxia had just changed their clothes. The people sent by the loyal and brave royal palace, as well as Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao arrived at the Lv family one after another. These people all came for one thing and wanted to go to the palace with Lv Xianger and Chaoxia to watch the temple.

"Can I go too?" Lv Xianger looked at Huo Qingqing and Wen Yao and suddenly thought. Huo Qingsong said that he had asked her if he wanted to go to the palace to watch Lv Hong's comparison. At that time, Lv Xianger didn't care at all. It was a palace, and not everyone could enter it.

Huo Qingqing looked at Lv Xianger, smiled, nodded to Wen Yao and said, "Sister Yaoer, come on."

"Qingqing, you are my future sister-in-law. You can't call me 'Sister Yao' anymore." After getting the news that Huo Qingqing and Wen Song were going to be married, Wen Yao has been correcting Huo Qingqing's name for her. Seeing Huo Qingqing's face red and whitening herself, Wen Yao smiled and bowed and said to Lv Xianger, "Xiang'er, what Qingqing said is true. You were invited by the Empress Song herself."

Wen Yao said so, but she was sighing at what Huo Qingsong had done for Lv Xianger. Before meeting Lv Xianger, Huo Qingsong had always been a cold person in Wen Yao's impression, and it was difficult for people to get close. I don't know when it started. Although Huo Qingsong's words are still so few and his expression has not changed much, his character is slowly changing. This time, in order to let Lv Xianger enter the palace, Huo Qingsong specially asked Wen Yao to send two jars of grapes to Concubine Song. Who is Concubine Song? Of course, she understands what Huo Qingsong means and is also willing to help her 'nun nephew'.

After gossiping for a while, the four people went out of the door of the Lu family and prepared to go to the palace. Seeing the two carriages outside, the four of them looked at the wide carriage with the logo of the loyal and brave royal palace. Huo Qingqing shook his head and said, "Sister Chaoxia, let's take the same carriage. The carriage in this royal palace is so elegant that we are also stained with the morning glow.

"You little girl, say all the sour words. Your general's mansion is no worse than the loyal and brave royal palace." Chaoxia glanced at Huo Qingqing and let Lv Xianger get into the carriage with angrily smile, and she followed closely. Hearing that Chaoxia actually said such words, Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing were very surprised. After Chaoxia became Li Qingyu, it was a little different.

Because the Lv family is far away from the palace, when Lv Xianger and the four of them arrived at the palace, the gate of the palace was very cold. Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing are both people who often enter the palace. They skillfully took out the sign and led Lv Xianger and Chaoxia into the palace.

Entering the palace, the maid at the door came forward and led the way for the four people. Because there were pedestrians on the left and right, they were talking. Lv Xianger, who came to the palace for the first time, couldn't help turning her eyes and looking at everything in front of her. Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing put Lv Xianger and Chaoxia in the middle, and you introduced the upcoming Taiji Hall in a low voice.

As he crossed another palace door, a majestic hall appeared in front of Lv Xianger. From the palace gate to the wide square, to the door of the hall, there are two big red carpets. Three steps away from both sides of the carpet is the banners fluttering in the wind. Under each banner stands a solemn bodyguard. In front of the stone ladder at the gate of the hall, there is a wide and large platform with more than one person. The table is also covered with blankets and flags in the four corners. At first glance, it is the place where the test is about to be held.

Looking around this Taiji Hall as a whole, it is really a little happy and energetic. Of course, this is the feeling from the perspective of Lv Xianger. Wen Yao and Huo Qingqing, who always enter the palace, don't have much feelings. Looking at Chaoxia's expression, she seems to be just interested in that ring.

Bypassing the 'Wing', the four followed the maid of honor into the Taiji Hall and walked to the right. There were already a lot of people in the hall at this time. Lv Xianger looked around and saw that the men and women in the hall were sitting on both sides. The little ladies and ladies like her are sitting on the right side.

As soon as she took a few steps, Lv Xianger found a few familiar eyes. Mrs. Wen and the two Mrs. Li of Zhongyong Palace, as well as Lv Erniang, turned their eyes to several people with a gentle smile on their faces. Looking at the movement in Lv Erniang's eyes, it was very similar to Lv Xianger sitting beside her. But Lv Xianger knows her identity, which is an embarrassing existence for Lv Erniang in the palace. She smiled at Lv Erniang and didn't say anything. Instead, she and Huo Qingqing went to the back row and sat down in front of several cases.

Because of the special permission of His Majesty, today is not as serious as before. Except for the ladies in the front row, those familiar ladies can sit together in the back row. Lv Xiang'er sat behind two cases.

"Sister Yao'er, I see how these little women are weird." Lv Xianger looked around herself and couldn't help asking Wen Yao beside her.

After listening to it, Wen Yao also looked around, and then smiled and whispered, "I forgot to say it. After the palace examination, His Majesty also held a palace banquet. How can they stand out if they don't dress up?

"Oh." Lu Xianger nodded. Listening to Wen Yao talking about attending the palace banquet, there were many young new imperial subjects and famous princes in Beijing, so Lv Xianger understood something. At the same time, she also sighed in her heart that these little women were bold.

Smelling the fragrance nearby, Lv Xianger was bored and looked carefully at the women here. Unexpectedly, Lu Xianger saw a lot of acquaintances. Like the little women who have met a few times, there is no need to say. He Ya, the granddaughter of He Taishi, is very familiar with Lv Xianger. She was looking ahead with a cold face, as if she didn't want to pay attention to the little lady who was talking around.

Contrary to He Ya, it is Zheng Fangfei's mother and daughter. The two people talked with the people around them very unpleasant. In particular, Zheng Fangfei looked around and didn't want to pull down any little lady sitting next to her. When Zheng Fangfei saw Lv Xianger, she raised her head and turned her white eyes. Lv Xianger withdrew her eyes, but she couldn't help laughing.

However, after Lv Xianger smiled, it was Zheng Fangfei who remembered that. If Zheng Fangfei hadn't been quick-mouthed, Lv Xianger really didn't know that Princess Jingrou would have done that. Thinking of what Huo Qingsong said to her that day, Lv Xianger sighed gently. Thinking of today's palace banquet, the emperor ordered an extra concubine of Huo Qingsong in the general's mansion. And Huo Qingsong and Lu Xianger entered the palace, perhaps with the purpose that he didn't want to hide it from her.

But he knew that Huo Qingsong had already said hello to her and would never do anything wrong to her. But Lv Xianger thought that before she got married, there was such an eye-catching person. It was really like something in her throat. She couldn't swallow it, and she couldn't spit it out. It was extremely uncomfortable. It was also at this time that Lv Xianger found that she only wanted to occupy Huo Qingsong alone and didn't want any woman around him to appear.

"Princess Jingrou, you succeeded this time. But..." Lu Xianger thought of Princess Jingrou, her face was a little cold, and she didn't have the novel feeling of just entering the palace.

Wen Yao suddenly found that Lv Xianger's body was a little tense. For some reason, she looked around and asked, "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you? Your face is so ugly?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something unhappy." Lv Xianger smiled at Wen Yao, put away her mind, and began to look at the opposite side.

Wen Yao saw that Lv Xianger's expression had recovered. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she didn't want to ask about Lv Xianger's thoughts. Looking at her eyes, Wen Yao took the initiative to introduce some court ministers opposite to Lv Xianger. And next to several cases, Huo Qingqing was also talking to Chaoxia about the people in the hall.

"His Majesty the emperor's holy arrival--, to the concubine--, the concubine Song came..." When the people returning from the hall were chatting, there was a shrill sound outside.

With the instant silence in the Taiji Hall, Lv Xianger was pulled up by Wen Yao and knelt down in place. Soon the group walked into the hall. Lv Xianger, who was hanging her head, could not see who they were. Only the feet of the group could enter her eyes. From those various boots, Lv Xianger can still guess that it is His Majesty the Emperor who walks in the front.

"Get up. It's not going to court today. Don't be too restrained. The majestic voice fell, and Lv Xianger sat in the position just now with three thanks from the crowd. And the majestic voice sounded again: "Yuer, let the son and princess of Gaochang come in."

"Father, I will send someone to invite you." At the head of His Majesty the Emperor, a man with a short beard and a loyal appearance got up and saluted His Majesty the Emperor, and let the attendants around him out of the hall.

Your Majesty smiled at the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't see the expression on his face. He nodded gently and said, "Yuer, wait a minute, you will accompany Ju Shizi. Don't neglect the distinguished guests..."
