Part 1: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter 4: Trip to Li Country
Chapter 286: Entering the Palace (2)
"Yu Xiao, were you with Yu Qing last night?"
"No, mother, I went back to the room after Yuqing fell asleep yesterday afternoon."
The lady nodded, "Then how did you know that Yu Qing got up and made trouble last night?"
Chang Yuxiao smiled and said: "Mother, if you want to know what is going on in Yuqing Courtyard, you don't need to stay there all the time."
"Yes, mother has forgotten that you are very capable."
"What kind of skill is this? My son can't help his mother's worries like his sister."
The lady said: "If you were as naughty as Yuqing, I would be worried to death. Look, there are so many people waiting for her, and she is still playing with her little temper. Isn't this embarrassing your father?"
"Mother, Yuqing is used to this in the villa. She never gets up too early. During the time she came back, have you seen her get up early?"
"I used to get up late in the palace, but it's different now. I'll have to talk to her about it later."
"Mother, stop trying to persuade her. You also know that Yuqing came back this time just to see you. It is already difficult for the elders to get her to come back. If you continue to persuade her to follow any rules, Deacon Ge and the others will definitely have to say something. . Yuqing will return to the villa sooner or later, does my mother want her to stay in Li country? "
The lady said: "It would be better for her to return to the villa."
"That's it, I'm just staying in Li country for a while, why bother to make her unhappy. Mother doesn't have to worry about it so much. What my father thinks is my father's business. He is not from the Chang family, so of course he won't understand this. "
The lady sighed and said, "What you said makes sense. Yu Qing shouldn't come back this time. Now I'm worried that the prince will be punished by the palace."
"Don't worry, mother. Deacon Xue and the others have already taken care of these matters in advance. The palace will not punish you."
The lady nodded. "Let's go and see if your sister has packed up."
Yue Qing was still a little confused at this time, so after letting Qing'er finish washing her, she leaned against the bed in a daze.
Cai'er said from the side: "Why do you still haven't woken up, Miss?"
Yue Qing nodded: "Creatures... their work and rest habits are completely messed up. Are the people from the palace here?"
"Here we are, waiting in the outer courtyard."
"Still that Director An?"
"Yes, it's him."
"King Bowei didn't come today?"
"Didn't come, but a few young generals came."
Yue Qing sat up straight, "Why are they here so early? We can't keep people waiting, let's go."
"Miss hasn't eaten yet, Deacon Shen is already ready."
Just as he was talking, Chang Shen and Chun Xiu brought breakfast over.
"Look, we're already here. Miss hasn't eaten much since last night, so she should be hungry."
Yue Qing stood up and walked to the table.
Halfway through the meal, Madam and San Yuxiao came.
Yue Qing held an uneaten egg roll in her hand.
"Why is mother here?"
"What's more, your dad is waiting impatiently in front. It's a good thing you're still eating here."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "We're almost finished. Have you and my brother eaten? Let's eat together."
"Mom has eaten it a long time ago, and your brother won't be as lazy in bed as you."
Yue Qing took a sip of porridge and said, "Can you blame me? When I heard that I was going to the palace yesterday, I was a little curious and couldn't sleep at noon. Is my work and rest habits messed up?"
The lady said, "You are the only one who is right."
Yue Qing frowned and said, "Is Mr. An angry?"
"The steward is not angry, he is just afraid that the nobles in the palace will be angry."
"Do you mean the emperor will be angry?"
"Not only the emperor is in the palace, but the queen mother, empress, and several concubines in the palace also want to meet. They said they are already waiting."
Yue Qing took a piece of chicken shreds with her chopsticks and said, "Really, how can I meet so many people? I hope I don't go to one palace after another."
The lady sighed: "Okay, don't be so naughty. Entering the palace is no better than being in the palace, so you have to be better behaved."
Yue Qing nodded, took two more mouthfuls of bird's nest porridge, put down the spoon, "I'm full."
Cai'er handed over the handkerchief, Yueqing took it, wiped her mouth, and then washed her hands in the basin brought to her.
"Cai'er, are you ready? Can you go?"
Cai'er said: "Qing'er has packed everything that the young lady will need after entering the palace. As for the other things, Deacon Ke has prepared them in advance. The young lady will bring them into the palace with her when she enters the palace."
"What, a gift?"
"It's mainly gifts for the royal family, as well as gifts for the empresses of various palaces who have contact with the young lady."
"Oh, what should we bring?"
"If the young lady wants to give something as a reward, or if she likes a certain empress, she must not prepare something."
"How many things do you have to give?"
Cai'er helped her put on her robe, "The palace has also given many rewards, but the courtesy has to be exchanged. You can't be said to be stingy."
Yue Qing pouted. "It's a waste of money. If you give it away if you like it, why should you give it away if you don't like it? Since it is a reward from the palace, why don't you just give it to the emperor?"
Cai'er smiled and said: "Who told me that Miss has to come to Li Country? It will cost more. Not to mention entering the palace this time, even when we came to Li Country, we already gave a lot to the homes of many powerful people. But these are not It doesn’t matter, the villa can afford it, but the important thing is that no one in the palace wants to embarrass the young lady. Don’t worry about this, young lady, Deacon Ke is there to worry about it.”
After getting dressed, Yue Qing walked around in front of Madam, "Mother, are you beautiful?"
"Well, it's so beautiful. Yuqing is already very beautiful. I don't know how long I can keep looking at it, mother."
"How long do you mean watching it? I stay with my mother every day and let her watch it every day."
"What are you looking at every day? When you come back from the palace this time, you should hurry back to the villa. It's not good to stay in Li country all the time."
Yue Qing said: "Mother, I have only been back for a few days, and you asked me to go back. I haven't had much fun yet."
"It's better to go back early."
Yue Qing helped Madam go out the door, "What's wrong, mother, did the elders in the villa urge me? Why didn't I listen to Mo Xue and the others?"
The lady shook her head: "The elders didn't urge you, it's just that mother wants you to return to the villa."
Yue Qing said: "Then mother, go back with me."
"Here we go again. What should I do when I go back? Mom has to stay with your father."
Yue Qing didn't try to persuade her anymore. Mo Xue and others were already standing there at the foot of the steps.
Mo Xue said: "Good morning, Miss, everything is ready outside and we are ready to go."
Yue Qing walked down the steps, her light purple orchid embroidered pleated gauze skirt swept on the steps, and her equally light purple butterfly dance robe was gorgeous and dignified. There is a pink and purple jade flower pendant around the waist, and a green ribbon is wrapped around the waist. There are not many accessories on her head, but they match her hairstyle very well. Qing'er's makeup skills are very good, making her delicate little face beautiful and charming. He grew up very quickly during adolescence, and his slim figure, paired with this outfit, made Mo Xue frown in his heart.
Yue Qing said: "Well, let's go. I heard that we have been waiting outside for a long time."
When the group arrived at the front yard, Yue Ke and others had already arrived early.
Yue Qing got off the sedan chair and saw Manager An standing outside the door and circling around.
"Good morning, Mr. An, please be patient."
"Oh, it's good to be here, it's good to be here. This is the first time our family has done such an errand. The princess of any family who has received this honor has been preparing to enter the palace the day before, but we are here The nobles in the palace are waiting for you. Princess, please come to the palace with our family quickly."
Yue Qing smiled: "I'll go in and see dad first."
"Ouch, hurry up."
Yue Qing walked into the main hall, where King Yongjing was waiting. He did not scold Yue Qing when he saw her.
"Good morning, Dad." Yue Qing stepped forward and said.
King Yongjing said angrily: "Now that everything is packed, let's set off. Manager An is waiting impatiently. When you get to the palace, you must observe some etiquette. Don't do anything willful in the palace."
Yue Qing nodded. "Dad, I'll try my best. My daughter doesn't understand the rules in the palace. If she accidentally breaks into trouble, we have to agree in advance that dad won't scold me when he comes back."
Mr. An said: "Oh, don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty didn't issue a special edict yesterday. We've already seen each other, so hurry up and enter the palace."
King Yongjing nodded and said: "Okay, let's go quickly."
Yue Qing smiled and said, "Well, I'm going."
Manager An quickly led him to the driving area.
The driver was outside the mansion. When everyone walked outside the mansion, they saw the head of the Yue family and Mo Wei waiting outside the door.
Seeing Yue Qing coming out, the head of the Yue family stepped forward and said, "Good morning, miss. I haven't seen her for a few days, and she looks a lot more beautiful."
Yue Qing wondered, "Why is the head of the Yue family here? Mr. Wei hasn't been seen for a long time."
Movi nodded.
The head of the Yue family said: "Today the young lady entered the palace, Mo Wei and I were also invited. Thinking that the young lady should have packed up, we came here to greet the young lady first."
After speaking, he nodded to Manager An and said, "Manager An, long time no see. How good have you been lately?"
Mr. An said: "Okay, okay, Master Yue, you are a noble person. The Holy Father has invited you to the palace several times, but today I have invited you."
Yue Chi said with a smile: "Some chores got me stuck, isn't it here? Manager An has worked hard all the way. Miss Yuqing is used to being pampered in our villa. If she has any offense, please ask Manager Haihan. Now in the palace It is also necessary for the manager to take more care of me."
"Everywhere, this is our family's business. The princess is cute and cute, and the emperor liked her very much after hearing about it. She is still waiting in the palace to meet people, let's go to the palace quickly."
The head-in-law stepped aside and said, "Okay." He extended his hand and said, "Miss, Yue Chi will help you get into the sedan chair."
Yueqing reached out and grabbed his arm.
As the car set off in great force, the people in the city watched curiously. Seeing that the palace guards were opening the way, they all stood at a distance, guessing who was sitting in the car.
Yue Qingxin opened the curtain and looked outside. Seeing the people looking at her curiously, she smiled and lowered the curtain.
Cai'er said amusedly: "What's wrong, Miss?"
“Everywhere I go, I’m surrounded by people and I feel like a monkey.”
"How can anyone say that about themselves? Who dares to think that the lady is a monkey?"
After staggering to the vicinity of the imperial city, there were no more people. Yue Qing looked at the majestic palace walls and sighed in her heart, the palace was just different, much better than Mocheng Villa. No matter how prosperous the Villa was, it could not compare with a country.
