18. Chapter 18 Entering the Palace for a Banquet
The wheels of the car made a gurgling noise, and it was not until the end of Youshi (about 7 p.m.) that we arrived at the west gate of the capital.
Xiyan even took a nap during this period.
When the officers and soldiers guarding the city saw that it was Nangong Jin, they didn't dare to ask any questions and let him go.
After everyone had entered the city, the soldiers realized that Wei Zhong was also there. The carriage must have been the eldest princess of Jinxi. General Wei was going to greet the eldest princess of Jinxi. They naturally knew about this important news.
.
Although they didn't know why Prince Jin was there... After a moment of silence, they all started complaining... Why didn't they have the eyes to see what the rumored eldest princess looked like?
The carriage stopped when it reached the Huayang Palace, which was one of the palaces used by Dayue to receive envoys from various countries.
The wound on Xiang'er's left shoulder was no longer bleeding. As soon as the carriage stopped, she walked from the rear to the carriage and helped Xiyan get out of the carriage. There were so many people in the capital and they were formidable, so they couldn't be as casual as they were on the road.
Xiyan stepped out of the carriage with the help of Xiang'er, stood still and straightened her clothes. Nangong Jin saw that she had finished straightening her clothes before she said, "Elder princess, please go to the palace to rest and dress up first. I will ask the palace servants to come before the banquet in the palace."
Call you."
"Thank you, Lord Jin!"
Nangong Jin went directly to the palace, while Wei Zhong went to the palace to resume his duties.
Xi Yan and others stood outside the palace for a while before a servant hurriedly came out to greet them.
People came to the palace half an hour later. Because Xiang'er was injured, Xiyan called Luo Yu to come into the palace with her.
The sedan chair was parked at the entrance of Huayang Palace, waiting for Xi Yan. Not everyone in the imperial city could ride in a carriage.
Piao Yang did not go with him because he had not formally met in the court, and besides, there were not everyone at the banquet, only Xi Yan.
Originally, Xi Yan did not need to enter the palace, or there was no banquet tonight.
Because Nangong Yu's birthday is tomorrow, all the envoys will meet in the main hall tomorrow and give gifts, and the formal banquet will be held in the evening.
Tonight's banquet is said to have been organized by a concubine in the palace who asked her to come into the palace to talk to her and talk about how her mother and queen were doing recently. After all, she is also the daughter of Nangong Jade Emperor's aunt, so they can be considered a family member.
, although that aunt is not a relative...
Before entering the palace, he told Piao Yang, "Don't move around first..."
"I got it!" Piao Yang nodded, but did not tell her to be careful in everything in the palace.
If something happens to her, he will naturally know it immediately. Besides, he forgives those people who dare not do anything secretly.
Seeing Xi Yan sitting in the sedan chair, the nuns in the palace shouted: "Get up the sedan chair!" before he returned to the palace.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Xi Yan felt very fresh. This was her first time sitting in the sedan chair. She opened the curtain and looked at Luo Yu who was walking beside the sedan chair. She saw her eyes lowered, not knowing what she was thinking.
The sedan swayed all the way to the palace gate, and Xi Yan winked at Luo Yu.
The sedan was fresh when I first sat on it, but it only took a quarter of an hour to reach the distance from Huayang Palace to the palace gate, and I was a little dizzy from shaking my head.
Luo Yu received her hint, trotted to the nanny, and asked her humbly: "Nanny, we have reached the palace gate. The princess asked me if I want to get off the sedan chair and walk into the palace...
"
Not everyone in the palace is qualified to sit in the sedan chair.
