Chapter 187 Entering the Palace
His expression changed so dramatically that Shang Ruyi couldn't even lie to herself that it was an illusion. As soon as Tusheer left the room, she immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"..."
But Yu Wenye didn't say a word, and he didn't even look at her anymore. He picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, then turned around and walked to the bed and lay down.
Shang Ruyi was a little confused again.
What's wrong with him? I was in a bad mood when I came back today, and I just got better. But when I brought a cup of tea, I didn't say a word. Why did I seem to have offended him again?
Shang Ruyi felt that this man's temper was becoming more and more difficult to understand, but when he thought that he was about to go on an expedition, it was difficult to argue with him.
I just sighed, drank tea by myself, and fell asleep.
On the second day, she woke up earlier than Yu Wenye, which saved her from the trouble of having to share the same bed and act in front of several maids. But for some reason, after a whole day, That night, Yu Wenye's mood still didn't improve. From washing to dressing, he didn't say a word to her.
Until they sent Yu Wenyuan to the gate.
Because in the last expedition to Liaodong, Yu Wenyuan only supervised the transportation of grain and grass in western Liaoning and did not bring many troops of his own. Therefore, when he returned to Taiyuan this time, he only traveled lightly with only a few carriages and a team of people to escort him. Of course, He also took away some of the servants at home, including Aunt Hui.
Yu Wenyuan stood at the gate and explained some things to Yu Wenye in detail, and then he was about to turn around and get on the carriage.
Before waiting for the carriage, he thought for a while, then turned back to Shang Ruyi and said: "Ruyi, you need to be careful in everything when you stay in Luoyang, especially——"
He said, looking to the west He glanced at it, and then said: "Don't be careless."
The Yuwen family's house in Luoyang is located in the most prosperous and lively East Market, and not far to the west is the Ziwei Palace, which is where Chu Yangying was built. The Imperial Palace in the Eastern Capital City.
Shang Ruyi immediately understood and said softly: "Dad, please don't worry."
Yu Wenyuan said again: "You are still young. If you are undecided about major matters, please consult your elders."
" Yes."
It seems that he is the most worried and worried about this daughter-in-law. After the final explanation, he sighed softly, turned around and got into the carriage. Soon, a group of people left Yuwen Mansion and slowly disappeared. In the morning light.
As soon as Yu Wenyuan’s men disappeared, Yu Wencheng, who had been standing aside in a dull mood, immediately jumped up: “Oh, dad is gone!”
Yu Wenye immediately frowned and looked back at him: "Dad is gone, but I'm still here. Don't think you can be lazy. Hurry back and have breakfast and go to school!"
"Second brother, dad finally left. Just let me play for a day.”
“No, go quickly!”
Yu Wencheng probably also knew that he was selfless, so he could only mumble and was taken back by a few serving maids and boys. Yu Wenye kept watching his back disappear. In the mansion, he turned around.
As soon as I turned around, I met a pair of gentle and calm eyes next to me.
Shang Ruyi asked: "Are you still going to do errands today?"
Yu Wenye gave a stiff "hmm".
At this time, Mu Xian and others had already brought the horse over. Yu Wenye walked down the steps, got on the horse, and left Yuwen Mansion with them. Shang Ruyi stood at the door, looking at his back. He disappeared at the end of the long street, and when he turned back, he saw the empty entrance to the mansion and the quieter courtyard behind him, and he couldn't help but feel startled.
Actually, Yu Wenyuan's departure had no impact on her life. Although Yu Wenyuan was the Duke of the country, the rules in the family were not big. Shang Ruyi married into the family and never had to worry about her. In Ding Province, she lived a much freer life than most daughters-in-law from wealthy families, so now that Yu Wenyuan left, she felt that she was too free and at a loss.
However, things must be reversed when they go to extremes.
Just when she was staying at home with nothing to do, the concierge outside suddenly came to report that someone was coming from the palace!
When Shang Ruyi heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately jumped up.
Tu Sheer who was accompanying her was also startled and stammered: "Miss, why is there someone in the palace again? Now that the Duke is not here and my uncle is also out, what should I do? ?”
Although it was a bit sudden, Shang Ruyi calmed down and said hurriedly: “Go out first and talk to the people later.”
So, he straightened his clothes and hurriedly walked over. hall.
As soon as he entered, he saw a tall, thin, and younger chamberlain standing inside with his hands folded. Shang Ruyi walked over and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law."
When the chamberlain saw Shang Ruyi, She came up with a smile on her face: "Madam, our family is polite."
Shang Ruyi was slightly startled, but then he remembered that Guan Yunmu had passed away, and to outsiders, he could already be called "Yu Wen" Madam”.
She composed herself, hurriedly returned the gift, and invited him to sit down and drink tea, but the chamberlain refused and said with a smile: "We came with the Queen's words, so we won't delay. Madam, the Queen has been there since Yan Goose Men Jun met with his wife and missed her very much. He wanted to invite her to the palace to talk. I wonder if she would be willing? "
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.
Only then did she remember that Yu Wenyuan had mentioned a few days ago that the queen had sent someone to tell him when he was preparing to leave the palace after attending the morning court that she wanted him to enter the palace to talk to her. Unexpectedly, the decree would come out so soon. Coming. Moreover, who dares to say that he is unwilling to be summoned by the Queen?
Although Shang Ruyi felt a little weak in his heart, he immediately smiled and said: "It is my blessing to be favored by the empress. But I haven't even had time to dress up——"
< br>The chamberlain smiled and said: "Madam, she is graceful and luxurious, and her regular clothes are already very appropriate."
"..."
It seemed that there was no way to escape, and there was no time to prepare for her.
Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, then smiled and said: "Then, please ask your father-in-law to lead the way."
The chamberlain immediately raised his hand: "Madam, please."
< br>So, Shang Ruyi only took Tu Sheer and the chamberlain We walked out together, only to find that there was a gorgeously decorated carriage waiting outside. Judging from the shape, it was indeed a palace carriage, so they took Tu Sheer and got on the carriage. Soon, the chamberlain also got on the side. The horse left Yuwen Mansion along with the carriage.
Going west and walking through a few streets, the surroundings gradually became quieter and quieter.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a tall palace gate.
However, this is not the main entrance of Ziwei Palace, but the Xuanren Gate on the east side. The chamberlain smiled and said: "Madam, you can't take the car after entering the palace gate. Madam must be overworked, and the people you follow can only follow you so far."
Shang Ruyi is busy. He said: "This is the rule."
After saying that, he turned around and told Tushe'er twice to stay here and wait, and then he continued to walk in with the chamberlain.
After entering the palace gate, it seemed that they were surrounded by tall palace walls, and the view was not wide. However, the road under their feet was farther and longer than the avenue outside Fangshi. They walked all the way in, passing through After passing a spacious square, he passed through another door.
In front of me, a huge palace appeared.
The palace is several feet high from the bottom. There are no side halls around it, but it is heavily guarded. Busy running back and forth here.
The chamberlain said: "This is Zuozang Palace."
Shang Ruyi nodded carefully and did not accept the words.
She had vaguely heard that Zuozang Palace was the treasury of the Daye Dynasty, so it was naturally much more important than other palaces. However, she did not ask too many questions about such a sensitive place, or even take a second look. , just lowered his head and continued walking forward with the chamberlain.
After passing Zuozang Palace, the road ahead seems longer.
The chamberlain smiled and said: "Madam, please be patient. Let's go around to Anning Gate now. After passing Anning Gate, we will arrive at the East Palace."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes. .”
This section of road is better than the previous one. The road was even longer, and the tall palace walls on both sides looked like two rows of tall and heroic guards. Their faces were expressionless and they only stared at them with cold eyes. The further Shang Ruyi walked, the lighter his footsteps became, but he could not hide the sound of his footsteps. The echo aroused in the palace wall was even more frightening.
Finally, a palace gate appeared in front of us, it was Anning Gate.
When the chamberlain was about to take her through the palace gate, Shang Ruyi suddenly raised his head and saw that there seemed to be a bigger and more majestic palace gate hundreds of steps ahead. He couldn't help but ask : "Eunuch, where is-"
The chamberlain also took a look and said with a smile: "That's the Xuanwu Gate."
"Xuanwu... Gate?"
< br>“Yeah,”
The chamberlain led her inside and said with a smile: "Madam, I wonder if you have ever been to Daxing City. This Ziwei Palace was built by Your Majesty based on the Daxing Palace in Daxing City, Xijing. All the palace gates and courtyards are similar to the Daxing Palace in Daxing City, Xijing. It’s the same as the imperial palace in Xijing—it’s just that the Xuanwu Gate of Daxing Palace is much larger and more powerful. You will know when you have the opportunity to visit Xijing.”
Shang Ruyi's mind was a little turbulent, and after a long while, she responded in a low voice: "Yes."
The chamberlain looked at her a little distracted, and thought she was shocked when she entered the palace and saw these scenes. He was frightened, so he said no more and led her forward. After a while, they arrived outside the queen's palace.
This palace is very spacious. Although it is not majestic, it exudes a peaceful atmosphere.
Several doors and windows were closed tightly. Only the middle door was slightly ajar, as if it had been waiting for her arrival. The chamberlain led Shang Ruyi over and reported inside, Immediately, two young and beautiful palace maids came out and introduced Shang Ruyi in politely.
As soon as he entered the door, he was immediately hit by a warm fragrance, and the warmth made Shang Ruyi immediately feel relieved.
When I looked up, I saw that the palace in front of me was exquisite and spacious. A huge screen divided the palace into two rooms, the inside and the outside. The screen was made of solid wood, so you couldn't get a glimpse of what was going on inside. But generally speaking, a palace is where guests sleep inside and outside. Naturally, one cannot enter the inner room at will; but in the outer room of the palace, there are several couches, as well as various incense burners, braziers, and exquisite lampstands, which are obviously given by the queen to her ministers.
Sitting directly above, in rich clothes and dignified appearance, is Queen Jiang!
Shang Ruyi hurriedly came forward to bow and salute: "I pay my respects to the Queen!"
