Chapter 56 Entering the Palace
In the end, we rushed into the capital on New Year's Eve.
After getting off the boat, Chu Yu saw that the dock had been cleared. The snow on the ground had been swept clean last night, and it was the imperial guards guarding the dock. Although there were no officials at the dock, Eunuch Lu stood on the dock early and looked forward to it.
Qin Sheng took Chu Yu's hand and went to the dock. Then he saw Eunuch Lu leading someone over hurriedly and respectfully whispering to Qin Sheng: "Third Master, little lady."
A middle-aged woman in palace outfit stepped forward and bowed: "San Master, little lady."
Qin Sheng saw the middle-aged woman, a smile flashed in her wonderful eyes: "Lin Shanggong."
Then, he looked at Chu Yu and said, "This is Lin Shanggong, the first decent person in front of the Empress Dowager."
Lin Shanggong smiled and said, "The Third Master praised him."
Chu Yu saw the middle-aged woman with a round face and long eyes, smiling, and looked like a smiling Bodhisattva. Her eyes were full of brilliance. She looked at her with a savvy look.
The gaze made her feel uncomfortable, but she nodded and bowed with a smile: "Master Shanggong."
"Master of Yu'an County." Seeing that her etiquette was impeccable, Lin Shanggong also returned the tribute. Instead, he put away his scrutiny gaze and said with a smile.
Qin Sheng noticed that Lin Shanggong called Chu Yu was the lord of Yu'an County, not the young lady, so he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Seeing this, Eunuch Lu quickly smiled and said, "Third Master, the young lady, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have been waiting in the palace for a long time."
Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "Is that right?"
When Lin Shanggong saw Qin Sheng talking, he immediately smiled with a warm and respectful look on his face and said, "I haven't been to Beijing for many years. The Empress Dowager and Your Majesty are very concerned. The Empress Dowager knows that you are exhausted all the way, so he specially arranged an inn to ask you to wash up first and prepare everything."
Qin Sheng said lightly: "There is no need for things. I am used to using my own people and my own things."
Lin Shanggong ate a nail directly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, as if he had been used to it, and he just nodded with a smile: "I think it's right for Aunt Jin to be here."
While speaking, Eunuch Lu had already brought the carriage over, so Qin Sheng took Chu Yu on the carriage, and with the two boats of people and things heading towards the post station under the escort of the imperial guards.
After both Chu Yu and Qin Sheng took a shower, they changed into clothes.
Qin Sheng is still wearing a white dress, but the secret embroidered kirin pattern is very gorgeous. In addition to being light and outspoken, he is also powerful.
Chu Yu, under the service of the red sleeves, changed into a light yellow palace outfit, drew his eyebrows, painted his eyes, and had a slender and charming curve. A faint purple powder was dizzy at the corners of his eyes, which looked like beautiful petals. His hair was tied up with a gem of gems. He was wearing a slender tassel hairpin on each side. The long golden tassel tail fell on his shoulders with fine crystals. There was a little red flower plaque across his forehead. When he raised his eyes, he suppressed some of the agility and jumping between his eyebrows, but showed the rare noble and elegant appearance that he was rarely seen in daily life.
Qin Sheng looked at her appearance and couldn't help but be stunned: "You...",
"What's wrong? Isn't it good-looking?" Chu Yu was not used to this gorgeous outfit. Seeing Qin Sheng's expression, he couldn't help feeling more and more uncomfortable and pulled his clothes.
"No, it looks very good, I just look familiar." Qin Sheng smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice.
Chu Yu raised his eyebrows: "I look familiar, what kind of noble girl looks like? When did the Third Master be so familiar with which noble girl?"
Qin Sheng thought for a while: "No, it's just an illusion."
Then a smile flashed in his faint eyes: "Is Xiaoyu jealous?"
While the two of them were talking, they heard the knock on the door from Eunuch Lu outside the door urging: "Third Master... You are not good at this day. You want to look like snow. If you are too late, you are afraid that the road to entering the palace will be difficult."
Qin Sheng raised her hand and held the hairpin on her forehead: "Let's go."
...
The wheels of the carriage rolled through the snow, leaving deep marks all the way to the imperial city.
A quarter of an hour later, he entered the palace.
"When you get here, you need to walk." Eunuch Lu personally accompanied Chu Yu and Qin Sheng all the way to Qianyuan Palace, and led them into the inner hall.
Chu Yu couldn't help but look at Qianyuan Palace with some curiosity and found that the palace here was indeed majestic and grand, with carved beams and painted roads, which were quite similar to the standard of the Forbidden City Palace in the Ming Palace in the previous life.
There are not many people serving in the inner hall of Qianyuan Palace, but the silent appearance in the action is very consistent with the rules.
A little eunuch saw Eunuch Lu leading people in, and immediately came up to meet him, and followed him to Eunuch Lu and whispered a few words.
Eunuch Lu nodded immediately and took them to the door of a study behind the inner hall and said respectfully to Qin Sheng: "Third Master, please ask first. Your Majesty has been waiting for you and the young lady in the upper study for a long time.
Qin Sheng shook Chu Yu's hand, saw her smiling at her, and then turned around and entered the study.
It is false that Chu Yu said he was not nervous. After all, it was the first time he saw the supreme ruler of this empire. A bright yellow figure flashed in front of her. She didn't see the person clearly, so she followed Qin Sheng and said, "See Your Majesty."
But the next moment, she saw the bright yellow robe embroidered with sea-patterned swaying in front of her eyes. A pair of big hands wearing jade rings held the Qinsheng and her hands, and a gentle voice sounded above her head: "Get up quickly, let me take a good look."
Chu Yu was almost a little dazed when he heard the sound.
The sound is actually five points like Qin Sheng's, but the sound quality is a bit sluggish.
She really stood up with Qin Sheng, looked up, and couldn't help but feel a turbulent feeling in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
The middle-aged man in front of him had long sleeves, a fair and thin face, three long strands of beards on his face reached his chest, his phoenix eyes were clever, his eyebrows were gentle, and there was only a simple white jade hairpin on his hair bun. Although he was luxurious and bright yellow, his body looked a little empty because of his thin body, and he could not see luxuriousness, but also a sense of elegance.
This is the current Xingping Emperor.
Emperor Xingping's eyes fell from Qin Sheng's body on Chu Yu. Seeing Chu Yu's big eyes looking at him, he smiled slightly: "This little friend is watching me so seriously, but what's the point?"
Chu Yu already knew that he had lost all the rules because he was shocked, which was considered offensive to Tianyan. He should have bowed to apologize, but Qin Sheng kept holding his hand, as if he didn't care whether she would lose the rules.
She naturally calmed down a lot in her heart. When she saw the assassin Emperor Xingping talk, she didn't have much of the imaginary appearance of the emperor as she imagined. When she turned her heart, she bent her eyes and smiled: "Your Majesty forgives the crime because the daughter of the minister first met Tianyan. She only thought that His Majesty Longyan was extremely majestic, but she didn't want to be so immoral that she even thought that she had seen the immortal on the painting."
Didn’t you see an immortal?
If this Majesty shaved his beard, he would be twenty or thirty years younger. He would wear white clothes and look like the great immortal on her right hand?!
So this is the reason that shocked her heart - Qin Sheng's appearance is no wonder she doesn't want to go to Beijing, but she is so similar to Emperor Xingping. Anyone who is blind can tell that they are related by blood, but it is not a blessing. Even if no one wants to do anything, even if Qin Sheng looks at His Majesty the Emperor, she will probably not be happy.
No wonder Prince Lian once boasted about his nephew's appearance, but now it seems that the genetic gene of this good appearance is indeed very strong.
Chu Yu had thousands of thoughts in his mind, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart—
Chu Yu learned his flattery skills in the yamen. Although he was not very clever, too straightforward and too vulgar, in the eyes of Emperor Xingping, who was used to being smart flattery skills, her straightforwardness also represented frankness.
Besides, the little girl in front of her had a bright eyes, without hiding the surprise in her eyes, which added to the authenticity, making Emperor Xingping feel interesting. He touched his beard and laughed warmly: "Hehe, Qin Sheng, you little wife, are really interesting."
Qin Sheng bent her lips lightly and said, "Caomin also thinks she is extremely interesting. Since Your Majesty praised people, don't you reward anything?"
Chu Yu was stunned and looked at Qin Sheng for some reason. She had never seen Qin Sheng talk to so rudely after she woke up. His ruthlessness was always hidden under the gentleness of the gentleness.
And the target is His Majesty the Emperor who controls the power of life and death in a country.
Emperor Xingping was stunned. He didn't think there was any problem with Qin Sheng's words like this. Instead, he smiled happily, and a light of interest flashed in his eyes: "Okay, it's rare that you speak. It's the first time I've seen your little wife, so I naturally have to give it a reward."
As he said that, he thought about it, picked a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Chu Yu directly, and said with a smile: "If you reward some common things, Qin Sheng will think that I am vulgar. This jade pendant that I have worn for thirty years is not as good as Qin Sheng's, but it is still my own belonging."
Seeing this, Eunuch Lu's face suddenly showed a look of shock. Chu Yu glanced at his expression and heard that this was something the emperor had with him for many years. He knew that this thing was afraid it would be difficult to contain, and was thinking about how to refuse.
But Qin Sheng looked at Emperor Xingping to take out the white jade pair carved with green bamboo flowing water patterns, and instantly pursed his lips, his eyes darkened, and then looked at Chu Yu and said lightly: "Xiaoyu, this is your Majesty's gift. I'll just accept it. Put it on with you to express your Majesty's kindness."
Chu Yu was so obedient. He immediately understood that he had taken this thing away and had great benefits. He immediately smiled and looked at the emperor with a respectful blessing: "Thank you for your gift."
Then, she raised her hand and respectfully took the jade and put it on her waist.
Emperor Xingping saw her smiling and his eyes were a little funny, and then waved his hand: "Eunuch Lu, send the Lord of Yu'an to the harem. The Empress Dowager is afraid that she will wait and see her, and she will be anxious."
Eunuch Lu immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, county lord, come with the old slave."
Chu Yu paused, looked at Qin Sheng, saw him nodding, and said lightly: "Go, I'll pick you up later."
She smiled and gently held his hand with her back, signaling him not to worry: "San Master, don't worry."
Afterwards, Eunuch Lu led Chu Yu away.
Only Qin Sheng and Emperor Xingping were left in the study room.
Emperor Xingping looked at Qin Sheng for a moment, with a complicated expression: "I want you to ask me for something. It seems that Sheng'er, you care a lot about that little girl."
