Chapter 471: Abandoned woman from the cold kiln conquers Prince Zhengtai 29
On a sunny day, the warm wind produces wheat gas, when the green shade and the grass are better than flowers, and in the bright sunshine in early summer, it is also the birthday of the empress.
Shu Ange followed the carriage in the palace all the way to the gate of the imperial city, then got out of the car and walked with the people from Qingning Palace.
Holding a delicate wooden box in her arms, her eyebrows drooped slightly, and she walked all the way down the deep and silent bluestone palace road.
Tomorrow is the birthday of the empress's concubine, Shu Ange came early to learn the rules of the palace.
Perhaps it was intended to give Shu Ange a slap in the face. The Empress did not come to see her directly, but only sent a stern-faced steward aunt to teach her the rules.
The steward's aunt has a handsome face and a serious expression. The nasolabial folds are almost invisible, and she is rarely seen smiling.
"This is the fourth lady who saved His Highness. I'm Aunt Kuiying. I'm here to teach you some simple palace etiquette."
"Si Niang thanked my aunt."
Shu Ange smiled slightly, not showing his teeth or showing off, being humble and courteous, making it impossible for people to find faults.
Aunt Kuiying glanced at her, feeling a little strange in her heart, but her face remained calm.
She didn't know her, Shu Ange thought, but she wasn't as nervous as when she first entered the palace.
She had imagined many times in her mind before, how she would respond if someone recognized her true identity.
Now it seems that it is not so bad. It has been a few years since Wang Baochuan cut ties with his father and wanted to marry Xue Pinggui.
There was a lot of disturbance in Chang'an City, but it was just an anecdote back then.
Many people know the name Wang Baochuan, but there are probably not many who can really recognize her.
Aunt Kuiying has a stern temperament, but she is not cunning, or Shu Ange is too clever for her to pick out the thorns.
The rules in the palace are very cumbersome, even if you only pick some key points to study, I am afraid you will have to practice until midnight.
But after Aunt Kuiying demonstrated it, Shu Ange was able to do it as it was, and her movements were as smooth as flowing water.
In less than two hours, Aunt Kuiying was almost able to teach. Shu Ange smiled and stood silently with a gentle expression, without the slightest impatience, standing gracefully and naturally.
"Fourth Lady, have you stayed in the palace before?"
Aunt Kuiying suddenly asked such a sentence, and glanced at Shu Ange with deep meaning.
Shu Ange smiled lightly, and replied in a proper manner: "I have been to the palace for a banquet, but I have never lived for a long time."
What she said was an understatement, Aunt Kuiying did not go into it, and finally let her rest, and the palace servants would bring dinner later.
Aunt Kuiying left, and Shu Ange stayed in the courtyard alone, practicing the rules meticulously, and went into the house to rest after dinner was delivered.
The maid who delivered the meal was only thirteen years old, and she forced a calm expression on her face. Her eyes were full of water, but she was clearly curious.
Shu Ange took the initiative to chat with him, and the little palace maid ran out of the door after saying a few words as if she had been stepped on her tail, and hurriedly took the food box away after she finished eating.
The atmosphere wasn't quite right. Tomorrow was the Queen's birthday, and the Fifth Highness didn't send any news. Shu Ange guessed that he might not know that she had entered the palace.
The Fifth Highness did not know that the Empress had summoned Shu Ange to the palace, but Tian Lingzi had already inquired about it clearly from other channels.
This birthday banquet is to celebrate the empress's birthday, and the second is to choose a concubine for Her Royal Highness.
Other princes are at the age of the Fifth Highness, and some of the eldest sons have been born, but the Fifth Highness is like a child. He usually fights cocks, plays polo, and listens to the show, but he is unwilling to accept people in the room.
The Empress also forcibly stuffed people into the palace of the Fifth Highness. The first time His Royal Highness went out of the palace with anger, and then she simply regarded people as air.
The Fifth Highness regarded beauty as a floating cloud, and the Empress was naturally anxious, so she wanted to take advantage of her birthday to call a suitable marriageable lady in Chang'an City into the palace and choose a concubine for Her Royal Highness.
Tian Lingzi's face is good-natured and eloquent, and he mixes like a duck in the water in the palace. He can see at a glance the thoughts of the Queen's concubine.
Although the Fifth Highness is arrogant and self-willed, but the heart of benevolence and filial piety is commendable. Even if he does not like the matter of choosing a concubine, it is not easy to show it on the day of the mother's birthday.
Now inside and outside the palace, there are vague rumors that the first popular person in front of the fifth highness, the fourth lady, is a rare and strange person. .
It is rumored that there is always a fragrant color. The fourth lady is favored, and she has rescued the fifth highness. Some people say that the fourth lady has actually served the fifth prince.
Tian Lingzi lost his power, and in trying to figure out a woman's mind, he naturally had a bit of an advantage.
He guessed that the Queen Mother had summoned the fourth lady to the palace, probably to see if there was any tricks between her and the Fifth Highness, and sometimes forced the Fifth Highness to submit.
Tian Lingzi thought about whether to take the opportunity to give His Highness a letter, in exchange for His Highness's attention, but after pondering over and over again, he decided to keep it a secret.
Since the birth of the fourth lady, the fifth highness has been out of the palace more and more frequently, and Tian Lingzi is not as favored as before.
He always wanted to meet the Fourth Lady for a while to see how holy she is.
Now that the fourth lady has entered the palace, Tian Lingzi has changed her mind. In this palace, all the year round, there are not many wronged souls who have died in vain. Maybe she will not be able to get out this time.
Tian Lingzi's eyes darkened, he closed the door, took out a piece of wax paper as thin as a cicada's wings, and wrote words the size of gnats on it with his fingernails, then took out a jade ring, unscrewed it, and put the wax paper inside.
After finishing this, Tian Lingzi coughed and called out, "Xiao Fuzi, send me something to Qingning Palace."
Xiao Fuzi entered the palace at the age of seven, and now he is only twelve years old. He has always been by Tian Lingzi's side, with beautiful eyes and bright eyes. He took Yuhuan and didn't ask who to give it to, so he went out and walked in the direction of Qingning Palace, quite familiar.
The moon was sinking in the west and the sun was rising in the east. Shu Ange spent the night in the palace. After getting up and taking a shower the next day, a palace maid brought brand-new palace clothes and pure silver ornaments.
This dress was obviously worn by a palace maid, Shu Ange shook the clothes away, and the sky would reveal a fish belly white, and the morning in the palace was extraordinarily quiet.
She closed the door and changed her clothes. She walked out of the small yard without being humble or arrogant. Holding the box, she went to the imperial garden where the birthday banquet was held today.
Although Chang'an has gone through war, but after decades of rest, the palace still has the same style.
Fengtai Longmarsh, Bamboo Pavilion Songxuan, rockery flying like rocks, flowing water as clear as jasper, and there are thousands of brilliant flowers.
The nobles have not yet entered the palace, and the palace maids are like butterflies, shuttling among the blooming flowers, and arranging tables and stools.
Aunt Kuiying was also there. After Shu Ange arrived, the guide left her there, and no one restrained her from doing things.
Where will the Fifth Highness be at this time? With the cool breeze, Shu Ange's lips twitched into a smile, and his demeanor remained peaceful.
