Entered the Palace in 1622

"If you go back to the princess, the servant doesn't know what His Majesty means, so I just ordered the servant to announce the decree and bring the Anping County Lord into the palace, and other things, His Majesty didn't say anything, and the servant is not easy to ask!" Qi Gonggong said with a smile, arching She arched her waist, cupped her hands and said: "Princess, the slave will go back to the palace first, and His Majesty is still waiting for the county lord in the palace!"

What else did Tan Yushu want to ask, but Gu Xiaowan's comforting voice came from the sedan chair: "Yushu, Pei Ya, don't worry, I'll come back as soon as I go! It's okay! Besides, there is Zuo by my side, so nothing will happen !"

The voice is calm and composed, and there is unquestionable firmness in the light tone.

When Tan Yushu and Fang Peiya heard this, their moods were slowly calmed down, and they nodded: "Sister, we will wait for you to come back at home!"

Eunuch Qi looked at their claims in surprise, and then looked at the people in the sedan chair calmly. It is really amazing that this Anping county lord can make the always perverse Huguo princess so obedient!

Such a well-behaved appearance, I am afraid that only the empress dowager has seen it!

Eunuch Qi bowed his hands and bid farewell, and then walked to the palace with the sedan chair.

The horse walked very fast, and although the sedan chair was carried by someone, the speed was not slow, and it followed steadily behind, never falling behind.

Ah Zuo quickly followed, and even used a little lightness kung fu to be able to keep up. It seems that these people who carried the sedan chair were also skilled in martial arts!

Zuo did not dare to slack off, and was extremely nervous to protect Gu Xiaowan's safety.

Gu Xiaowan sat in the sedan chair, guessing the possibility of the emperor summoning her.

It has been a few months since I came to the capital. Although I don't go out much, the last time I participated in the poetry and song meeting at Su's house, the news that she came to the capital should have already spread.

Maybe it's because my rank is too low, and I haven't received any special attention from anyone.

Gu Xiaowan didn't like this situation.

She doesn't like excitement at all, and if others don't come to her, she won't go to others.

However, today, the emperor's imperial decree came strangely.

Xiang Yuanlin took a step forward and said that the emperor had issued a verbal order to arrest her, and then when she was about to be arrested, he personally issued an imperial decree, and asked his personal eunuch Qi Gonggong to pick him up into the palace.

This is obviously an overthrow of the oral order brought to Yuanlin just now.

Xiang Yuanlin desperately wanted to punish himself for his crimes, but he just wanted to bring down Jinfu Tower. To bring down Jinfu Tower, for Suiyu Guzhai, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

How could King Ming let go of this great opportunity to make money and get famous?

And the emperor, how would he deal with the ambitious King Ming?

Gu Xiaowan shook her head and smiled wryly, this is a secret matter of the royal family, it's better not to worry about her as a maid from the countryside.

Don't care about him, don't care what the emperor will say to him today, soldiers come and cover up the water and earth!

The sedan chair soon arrived at the gate of the palace. Seeing that it was the emperor's personal father-in-law, the guarding soldier didn't even dare to stop him, and hurriedly let him in.

Seeing Eunuch Qi, followed by a sedan chair supported by Jin Yiwei, the guards bit their ears curiously after Eunuch Qi passed by.

"Who did Eunuch Qi bring into the palace? It's such a shame to ask Eunuch Qi to pick him up in person!"

"I don't know, but look at that unfamiliar maid, the person in that sedan chair should be some daughter from Shixun's family!"

"Why did the emperor summon the young lady of Shixun's family?" The guard who asked the question asked, scratching his head, still with a puzzled look on his face: "This is not yet behind Concubine Xuan!"

The person who answered was also taken aback for a moment, and also felt curious, yes, why did the emperor summon the lady of Shixun's family to meet?

However, this is the holy will. The emperor can see whoever he wants to see, and whoever can say a word, so he knocked the young guard on the head without curiosity, and said angrily: "Stand aside, is the holy will?" You and I can figure it out! Be careful to let the emperor know, and cut off your head!"

The young guard's head hurt a little from being hit, but he could bear the pain.

So he smiled awkwardly and returned to his seat.

Gu Xiaowan only knew that the sedan chair was unimpeded along the way, and it didn't even stop. She glanced out quietly through the gap in the curtain, and saw the majestic palace not far away, the dark gray high wall, and the Those black heads kneeling on the ground in twos and threes.

It seems that the sedan chair has already entered the palace.

Gu Xiaowan urged herself more and more to be cautious in her words and deeds. When she was thinking this way, the sedan chair stopped, and she heard Eunuch Qi's voice: "Master, you have arrived, get off the sedan chair!"

Then, Eunuch Qi stepped forward in person and opened the car curtain. Gu Xiaowan stepped out, without looking around, but tactfully helped Eunuch Qi, and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Qi, please trouble Eunuch to lead the way!"

Eunuch Qi saw that she lowered her eyebrows slightly, a pair of beautiful eyebrows seemed to be painted, and on that smooth face, they appeared more and more delicate, there was no calculation or harshness between the eyebrows, peaceful like a newborn Babies are average.

When Eunuch Qi saw her drooping eyebrows, he didn't look around at all. Standing in the most noble place in the whole capital, he didn't flinch or fear at all. Even the maid beside her calmly and tightly Following her, with lowered eyebrows, he looked so quiet, as if he was standing in his own home.

Seeing her so relaxed and comfortable, Eunuch Qi couldn't help but deepen his good impression: "Master, please come with the miscellaneous family!"

finish

, leading Gu Xiaowan towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is the place where the emperor handles government affairs and rests on weekdays. Unless the emperor personally summons it, ordinary people cannot approach it at will.

Everywhere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is surrounded by heavily armed guards, and from time to time there are Jinyi guards looking around.

Gu Xiaowan turned a deaf ear and didn't ask any more questions, just obediently followed behind Eunuch Qi, guarding her own words and deeds.

Soon, everyone arrived outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Eunuch Qi suddenly stood still, and reminded Gu Xiaowan who was beside him: "Master, this is the place where the emperor usually rests and handles government affairs. Later, the miscellaneous family will lead you Go to see the emperor, you servant girl, I'm afraid you can only stay outside!"

When Ah Zuo heard this, he raised his head nervously and looked at Gu Xiaowan with concern and worry in his eyes.
