I'm on the Newcomer Rankings this week. Thank you for your support. In order to stay on the rankings, please give me a recommendation vote if you like. A certain water was extremely grateful.
I'm the dividing line between blushing and canvassing for votes
Young Master Guo was right. In less than half a month, Lord Qiao brought me and Chaorong to learn etiquette and enter the palace to meet the Empress.
Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen the father of my new body. If you want to talk about my feelings, it would be…disappointment. This so-called learned Hongruqiao was already in his fifties or sixties. The few strands of beard at the corner of his mouth were already somewhat white, but his back was straight and he looked very imposing. Of course, he was also very strict...
Mrs. Qiao looked like she was only twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. In modern times, she was still the golden age for beautiful women. Many people were still unwilling to give up their freedom and walk into the grave of marriage. However, she already had three children. What was even worse was that her husband seemed to be twice her age. He was really a fresh flower stuck in cow dung. In comparison, Cao Cao and Madam Qiao were more compatible.
Sigh, talking about Cao Cao was really boring. The last time he looked at Madam Qiao, he almost drooled on the ground, but now there was no reaction at all. Could it be that she had already retreated before she married? It wouldn't happen. My heart skipped a beat when I thought of his cold and deep eyes. Perhaps he was up to some conspiracy.
There was really no normal person in this day and age!
After another two or three days, Madam Qiao brought me and Chaorong into the palace.
I'm still quite excited. After all, we're going to the ancient imperial palace! Although he had been to the Forbidden City in the past, it was already a building from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because it was a tourist attraction, it was crowded with people. He did not have a deep impression of the palace. The biggest impression he had was that the fast food in the Forbidden City was so expensive. It was simply extortion!
Lord Qiao brought us to the palace gate and left to avoid suspicion. A eunuch who was said to be the empress's personal attendant led the way for us. The palaces of the Han Dynasty were actually relatively simple. Perhaps it was because of the level of construction that they could not create the carved beams and painted pillars of the later generations.
I looked around while Mrs. Qiao and Chao Rong kept their eyes on the ground and walked forward without looking up.
After passing through two courtyards, we saw a eunuch in embroidered clothes walking over with a group of people and blocking our way.
"Mr. Qin, where are you going?" the leader asked. I haven't seen the few people behind me. I don't know who they are, but you dare to casually bring them into the palace!”
My hair stood on end. What kind of person is this? Just listen to this voice…My god, eunuchs are really terrifying. Why can the Emperor tolerate eunuchs serving him?
Unexpectedly, the eunuch who brought us here immediately revealed a very respectful expression when he saw the person who had come. He said,"Lord Zhang, why are you here at this time? Could it be that you have something to do?”
Lord Zhang snorted." I heard that someone brought someone in from outside the palace. I'm afraid something bad will happen, so I came to take a look."”
I frowned and turned to look at Chao Rong and Madam Qiao. Both of them were a little surprised, but they still maintained their lowered heads and didn't move.
Lord Qin said," Lord Zhang, this isn't some random person. This is the wife of Lord Qiao, the Imperial Physician of Guanglu. These two are Lord Qiao's daughters. Today, we have come to the palace to pay our respects to the Empress."”
" Oh... so you're Qiao Xuan's wife and daughter..." Lord Zhang drawled, sounding even more malicious than before.
Mr. Qin's face stiffened. He was a little unhappy, but he quickly covered it up and said,"That's right. I hope Lord Zhang will make it convenient for me to let Furen and the two young misses enter the palace.”
Lord Zhang laughed coldly. His face was frighteningly pale, but he looked like a ghost. He said,"I don't understand. Lord Qiao isn't a relative of the Empress, and I've never heard of any relationship between Madam Qiao and the Empress. Why would she come to the Palace for no reason?”
"How would I dare to speculate on Master's intentions?" Mr. Qin said.”
Lord Zhang sized up Madam Qiao, Chaorong, and me before slowly saying,"I heard that the Eldest Prince is only ten years old this year, but the Empress is already in a hurry to find a concubine for him. Seeing the two young ladies 'ages, they are extremely compatible with the Eldest Prince, so it is difficult for the Empress to put in so much effort.”
Mr. Qin was silent for a moment." I really don't know what Mr. Zhang said. I'm afraid the Empress has other intentions." The Empress is the master of the harem. It is normal for her to see the women of the ministers. Please think twice.”
Hearing this, Lord Zhang immediately let out a sharp laugh."Think twice? Why should I think twice? Mr. Qin had made a name for himself and gained the empress's favor. Since that's the case, how can I dare to stop you? Please help yourself.”
I felt my hair stand on end. Although there were many things that I didn't understand, there were at least two things that I understood: Firstly, the Empress had lost her power in the palace and even the eunuchs were bullied. Secondly, this Lord Zhang is probably not a simple person. Eunuch Qin has offended him, and a great disaster will soon befall him.
Just based on these two points, I know that we are absolutely wrong to enter the palace this time! Sir Qiao's actions had undoubtedly pushed him into an extremely dangerous situation. However, I suspect that he knows it very well and is only determined to stand on the side of the eldest son. He even doesn't hesitate to show his position and fight to be the first bird to be shot.
I'm really sweating. My father is definitely an old scholar who's extremely jealous. He's about to kill me.
I saw a drop of cold sweat on Mr. Qin's face, but he still forced himself to calm down."In that case, we'll take our leave first.”
Lord Zhang coldly snorted and left, leaving us looking at each other.
Eunuch Qin wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said,""Forget it, we should quickly enter the palace to see the Empress.”
I followed him for a few steps and finally couldn't suppress my curiosity. I pulled his back and asked,"Mr. Qin, who's that? How impressive, he didn't even put the Empress in his eyes.”
Eunuch Qin immediately covered my mouth."Second Miss Qiao, be quiet! Don't you know that that's Lord Zhang Rang of the Ten Attendants of the Everlasting Peace? The Ten Attendants of the Everlasting Peace have many spies. If you spout nonsense like this, who knows what trouble you'll cause?”
Meow, he almost suffocated. I could only nod desperately, indicating that I understood. Eunuch Qin looked left and right before letting me go.
Mrs. Qiao looked at Chao Rong with a worried expression. After this commotion, she definitely didn't want Chao Rong to marry into the palace. However, I bet that she is no match for Lord Qiao, and will have to compromise in the end.
Sigh, what should I do? After all, Chaorong is my sister. Am I supposed to watch her go into the fire pit? No, I have to think of a way…
