Chapter 24 Entering the Palace
After the convoy arrived at the post station in the capital of Yujing Kingdom, Ying Zhen immediately replaced the carriage with a guard of palace concubines, and everyone dressed up to send Jin Xi into the palace. Chen Yuan couldn't help but be amazed when he looked at the wedding team that stretched out miles outside the curtain. Yujing Kingdom was indeed so arrogant and was willing to spend such a great price to welcome Jin Xi, which shows their emperor's solemn heart.
Jin Xi was a little nervous. After so many days, she finally arrived. The sedan chair caught up with the silver bells, the gauze was graceful, and the sedan chair was the sound of the people of Yujing Country watching, and seemed to be very curious about her. She walked through the busy area from the suburbs and walked towards Gongyu, which would be her life's destination. For some reason, she began to envy Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan could still live freely and carefreely outside the calculation, while she was just transferring from one cage to another. What's the fun of being rich in clothes and clothes? After all, she couldn't... She sighed and didn't think about it anymore...
"I heard that the two peerless beauties in the sedan chair are from Western China." A man put away the golden silk folding fan in his hand with a snap, smiling unscrupulously.
"Hmph! The disaster!" Another woman flattened her mouth and tugped at the carriage below. She looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, with beautiful eyes and noble appearance.
"Your Highness is back~" the man deliberately came to her side and joked, smiling meaningfully.
The little girl glared at him fiercely again, and hurriedly searched downwards. After waiting for so long, she was back.
"I've left long ago!" The man smiled proudly, then left the window, sat at the table and casually ate melon seeds.
"Then you came back so early, could it be that you were watching the beauty come?" The little girl looked disdainful, and there was a sense of injustice on her pretty face. Suddenly, her face turned around and looked at the person sitting in front of her weirdly.
"Don't make any decisions about me! The princess is interested in, I don't want it!" The man threw up the melon seeds in his hand, then raised his head and answered it very casually. Then he looked at her again, looked up and down and tsk twice.
"What do you think of me like this!" The little girl couldn't help but feel a little angry and snatched the melon seeds from the man's hand, preventing him from continuing to eat.
"I said, you little girl - why are you starting to make a decision again!" He was quite helpless, but there was no blame in his tone.
"I used to dare to argue with my sister Xiangcheng. Now that my sister doesn't want it, why don't I fight for it?" The woman smiled weirdly, and then said with a little dissatisfaction, "Besides, I'm not young! If you are by seniority, you have to call me aunt! Do you want me to help you get the 'the best position in the world'?"
"Yeah, yes, my 'aunt', it's okay to take you out to parade and act like a tyranny, don't do anything foolish on me. They are a marriage between the two countries, not children can change at any time. Look at you, I always tell you to call you by seniority, but don't do anything that the 'elders' should do. Since you want to get close to the ministers, and I have a good personal relationship with you - otherwise, I will bring him to recognize a relative and call you aunt one another?" He smiled and was so angry that the little girl was angry.
They were talking and playing around here, including the Yongyi Hou Liu Zhang who returned from a long journey and Princess Wenling who came out to watch the fun. One was the cousin of the current emperor and the other was the cousin of the emperor. They were both used to being favored by the emperor, and they were two masters who were no one in Lindong City dared to mess with each other.
From this we can see that the two noble ladies from Xihua were not only curious, but also princes and nobles could not control themselves. Everyone also praised and criticized Chen Yuan and Jin Xi's statements, and curious eyes followed the guard of honor and sent them to the gate of the palace. The emperor left the palace to greet him, and the concubines in the harem also followed him and whispered. At this time, the people in the harem seemed to be united, as if they were facing a great enemy.
Chen Yuan was helped by Zhong Ling to get out of the car and saw the Emperor Yujing Kingdom in gorgeous clothes from afar. This was the first time she had seen this young emperor. His body was not plump, a little thin, his skin was very white, and he felt a little crystal clear. Only the smile on the corner of his mouth showed that he was a living creature, and he was still a little angry.
Jin Xi was supported by the palace servants and everyone followed him into the palace.
Glazed tiles, white jade walls, gold and pink halls, and jade halls.
The purpose is this colorful palace, carved beams and painted buildings, which makes people feel like a place with a pile of gold and jade and agate like pearls, making people's eyes sore. I thought that Xihua's imperial palace was already luxurious enough, but I didn't expect that Yujing Kingdom would be better. If you want to judge Yujing Kingdom's arrogance now, even if you look at these, you can tell.
Ying Zhen walked beside Chen Yuan and saw Chen Yuan's smile that seemed surprised and scrutinized by Chen Yuan's lips, which was clearly excited, but he pretended to be calm. Ying Zhen's gaze became a little soft for a moment.
After entering the palace, Jin Xi kowtowed with Chen Yuan according to the rules. After carefully looking at Jin Xi and Chen Yuan, the other women in the hall all turned their eyes on Chen Yuan. Even the emperor frowned slightly, and the eyes looked at Chen Yuan with a deep look, and there was a bit of disbelief astonishment.
"She is Meiren Gu, who is famous in the four countries?" A good man whispered.
"Bah, what about Beauty Gu? Do you think there is a Madam Mi in the palace and you still think it's too little? If there is another Beauty, how can we sisters live!"
"That's right, it's a good thing that Princess Jin Xi is, otherwise the palace would have become a harem of disaster!"
"Sisters, please speak softly," a woman in gorgeous clothes smiled, as if she was comforting everyone's emotions, "Don't talk about right and wrong."
After hearing her speech, another woman in blue snorted. Perhaps because the two were slightly taller, no one dared to speak out again, so they had to communicate with each other.
The emperor ignored the complaints of the beauties and directly ordered the eunuch to announce the edict.
During the whole process, Jin Xi was respectful and friendly, not inferior to the demeanor of a princess of a great country. Chen Yuan obviously felt the resentful gaze projected from the hall. She quietly looked up and saw the beauty in blue next to the emperor frowning and staring at Jin Xi, as if she had a deep hatred.
Jin Xi was enthroned as Yan Zhaoyi, and the seat was in an uproar. There was never the position of Zhaoyi in the harem. The emperor actually specially set up a position of Zhaoyi for her. It can be seen that the emperor was very kind. He also said that Zhaoyi was second to his wife and was higher than Jieyu, which made everyone hate him even more. Even the princess of Xihua Kingdom could not give her such a high honor. I thought that Dai Jieyu in the palace was at the extreme. Later, because she was planning to murder the emperor, she gave the position of Jieyu to Ning Jieyu, who married from Fengxia Kingdom. Now everyone thought that the emperor could be willing to be a beauty, but they didn't expect it to be Zhaoyi!
Jin Xi thanked him for his kindness, and the emperor helped him up, as if he was extremely fond of him. The emperor also specially praised Ying Zhen and gave Chen Yuan a marriage to Ying Zhen as a princess, and chose a date to get married. Such kindness shows how much he cares about the Western China Kingdom.
After a series of red tape, Chen Yuan followed Ying Zhen out of the palace. Before leaving, Jin Xi called her and was extremely excited to hold her hand. Chen Yuan was also very happy, hoping that she could protect this glory well.
Seeing Chen Yuan come back, he was smiling all the way and looked gentle and lovely, Ying Zhen's mood also became much more relaxed. "So happy?"
Chen Yuan shone with his lively eyes and was very excited. Suddenly, he thought of the eyes of the woman in front of the palace. He felt a stern in his heart and asked, "I don't know what kind of noble man the woman in blue standing behind the emperor today? I think those who can stand there may be a good position!"
"In your opinion, who do you think she is?" Ying Zhen asked resentfully without answering.
"I think she must not be Mrs. Mi." Chen Yuan nodded and said with a smile, "The wife is so sagely and has a proud look. The woman in blue is beautiful but not expensive, and her eyes are naturally jealous, but she doesn't look like a favorite concubine!" Chen Yuan smiled and said. Heard that Mrs. Mi was extremely stunning, and no one can match her since she entered the palace. She originally wanted to take this opportunity to see her beautiful face!
"Indeed, she is Ning Jieyu, the princess of Fengxia Kingdom."
Chen Yuan paused, Princess of Fengxia Kingdom? No wonder her eyes were so cruel. The previous assassination of Jin Xi must have spread. It is said that it was a dirty thing done by the people of Fengxia Kingdom. It is strange that she hates the people of Western China so much.
"Why didn't Mrs. Mi attend today?" Chen Yuan stopped asking Ning Jieyu about her. She was just curious if Mrs. Mi was so arrogant?
"Madam, she—" Ying Zhen paused. He had always looked at him with a free look and didn't know how to talk about these past events. "She never attended such a scene and rarely appeared in front of everyone." Since she entered the palace, she rarely appeared in places with Ying Zhen, and this habit has been there for a while.
He clearly felt a hint of sadness from Ying Zhen. Although Chen Yuan was puzzled, he did not ask any further, just thinking that Ying Zhen felt sorry for these women in the palace.
"Today I will send you to the inn to stay in the inn. I will take you to meet my mother after the matter in the palace is completed." Ying Zhen quickly returned to his usual gentle appearance. He was as humble and gentle as a gentleman, and rarely frowned. I wonder if he would have been like this forever without something he could not solve!
When they returned to the inn, Zhong Ling was depressed. Chen Yuan knew that she was because Yuxiu entered the palace. They served themselves together, and there was no need to say that they had a deep relationship. Now that the two were separated, there was a thick wall between the palace and the palace, there was probably very few opportunities to meet.
"Ling'er, go and take my makeup box." Chen Yuan took off his headdress and broke off one head. The woman in front of the bronze mirror looked at her and flew to the sky, stunning the whole country.
Zhong Ling took the comb and combed her hair, thinking she was going to take off her makeup and prepare to rest. Unexpectedly, Chen Yuan asked her to comb a maid's bun and said, "How about the lady take you to visit the capital of Yujing Kingdom Lindongcheng?"
"Miss, how can this make you a status to be married now, and how can you leave the inn?"
"That's why you asked you to comb my maid's bun. Who cares about the little girls' places!"
When Zhong Ling heard this, she immediately felt energetic. Today, she saw that the country of Yujing was so prosperous by the sedan chair. She had long thought about when she could go and have a walk around. The lady is so considerate!
Soon, the master and servant went out on the street in a swagger. Chen Yuan used to go out alone in Xihua Kingdom. He went to visit his mother and didn't want anyone to disturb him. He came and asked her to go out more to see the world. Otherwise, how could the youngest daughter in the boudoir have a stunning talent?
Tingyin Pavilion? Chen Yuan was searching for such a place on the street. His grandfather said that this would be her other home in Yujing Kingdom, so she must know where it is as soon as possible, so that she will have the chance to contact her grandfather in the future.
Ah, I saw it! Turning around the corner, I actually saw a Tingyin Pavilion, which was not particularly gorgeous and luxurious, just like the Western China.
