The sun has not yet fully risen; the air is covered with a wet mist, and dewdrops are hung on the weed leaves on the roadside.
At this time, Chen Xu's car had arrived outside Dong'anmen Gate, and she saw the towering imperial city and the high walls in front of her.
It was the first time in his life that Chen Xu was inexplicably nervous and nervous. It is really rare for her to enter the palace as a businessman.
The group delayed for a while at Dong'anmen Square and soon arrived at Donghua Gate again.
Chen Xu walked down from the carriage, and the eunuchs around him stopped.
The eunuch Wang Gui next to him said: You have to search your body when entering the palace. This is the rule. Even if the prince or the duke enters the palace, it is no exception; Mrs. Chen, don’t blame him. The lady first went to the gatehouse. After the palace lady finished searching, someone would take you to Rouyi Hall. Our family has to ask first, if the emperor has returned to the palace.
Chen Xu asked casually: The emperor went out so early?
Wang Gui said: Before dawn, the emperor went to Xuanwu Gate.I don’t know if I have returned to the palace now, so we will ask the people first.If the emperor comes back, it should go to Fengtian Gate.
After he said that, he folded his fists and said goodbye, and Chen Xu returned the courtesy.
At this time, several palace maids took Chen Xu into a room. They closed the door and pulled the curtains. Chen Xu stood there and sighed softly.
It’s not that she felt it was inappropriate to search her body. She really spent a lot of time dressing up this morning, but she was afraid that her clothes and hair would be messed up.
After the Tang and Song dynasties, the rich and noble dresses became more and more complicated, while Chen Xu only liked simplicity.
She combed her simple hair-wrapped hair style, and used a dark blue ribbon to tie her headdress. She had only a silver-inlaid hairpin, and her hair was not messy. She wore a light purple shirt, a dark blue satin double-breasted trousers, and red embroidery on the sides of her clothes.
The colors of the dress are only blue, purple, red and white, but the material is very good, flat and brand new and shiny.
Chen Xu is very suitable for wearing dark clothes; the green base clothes make her already white skin look as white as snow.
The dark and shiny materials, her carefully decorated facial features and fingers, are bright and distinct in color.
Her dress is not ostentatious, but she is exquisite and gorgeous.
The palace maids saw that she was dressed well and were very careful in searching her body; the palace maids couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and a young palace maid even exclaimed softly, "Madam is so beautiful."
Mrs. Chen was really worried just now.
After a long time, Chen Xu clarified carefully and walked out of the room. At this time, the eunuch Wang Gui was waiting outside the door. Wang Gui said: The emperor has not returned to the palace yet, let’s take Mrs. Chen to Rouyi Hall to wait.
Chen Xu responded and followed Wang Gui into Donghua Gate.
Where is Rouyi Hall? Chen Xu asked as he walked.
Wang Guidao: The place is north of Wuying Hall, and to the west are the three main halls such as Fengtian Hall.The last time our emperor met with Chen Jikuo of Jiaozhi, he was there.
Oh...that shouldn't be far. Chen Xu responded casually.
It sounds like Rouyi Hall is in the court area. She looks at the palace full of people, so she can't help but think: Isn't Gao Xu summoning her to really just talk about serious matters?
At this time, Chen Xu felt that her guess was impossible. Gao Xu is already the emperor and has three thousand beauties in the harem; he also agreed that the two had an affair for the last time, and he no longer had to make things difficult for her.
When Chen Xu thought of this, he was a little disappointed. But this is good, she can be less worried.
After she and the eunuch Wang Gui walked into the main hall of Rouyi Hall, they saw that there was not a single person inside. At this time, Wang Gui asked Chen Xu to wait for a while, and he also retreated.
Chen Xu stood alone in the huge palace and noticed the large desk north of the hall at first glance.
Because the desk was placed abruptly, it would not usually be placed in the middle of the house; this reminded Chen Xu of the study of the Hanwang Mansion in Yunnan, where the desk was also placed in the middle.
It was obviously a place arranged by Zhu Gaoxu himself.
She looked back and saw that the hall was quaint, with some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls around her; there were a whole row of bookshelfs placed against the wall behind the desk, with many books and files placed on it.
Chen Xu walked slowly, walked to the front of the desk, and saw an imperial edict on it.
She walked around curiously and looked around and saw that it was the imperial edict that conferred her as the third-rank imperial lady and written by Gao Xu.
It was written before that the Chen Xu family values righteousness and neglects profit, and in the battle to fight against crime, he funded the criminal army and rewarded the crime in order to make great contributions.
After reading the content, a teasing smile appeared on her face.
Just then, Chen Xu heard the sound of footsteps. When he turned his head, he saw a burly young man walking into the hall gate.
Chen Xu was stunned for a moment, because Zhu Gaoxu was wearing a military uniform, with a bun on his head, and even a hood on his head, and there was sweat on his forehead. If Chen Xu had not known him, he would not have thought that this person was the emperor!
Zhu Gaoxu had a smile on his face and looked at her and said: I haven’t seen you for a long time, Mrs. Chen is still so beautiful.
Chen Xu then came to his senses, hurriedly walked around from the north of the desk, knelt on the ground and bowed to the ground and said, "I'll bow to the emperor."
Zhu Gaoxu did not respond, but he actually turned around and closed the palace gate!
Chen Xu's face suddenly became hot.
Zhu Gaoxu quickly came over and bent down to support Xu. Mrs. Chen smelled a special smell of sweat.
Then she heard Zhu Gaoxu's voice saying: The lady has weak bones and a plump muscles, a beautiful figure, and her kneeling on the ground is even more wonderful and tempting.
Chen Xu's mind suddenly buzzed, and it was blank. No matter how she was helped up by Zhu Gaoxu, I don't remember to ask for it.
She looked up at Zhu Gaoxu, and she couldn't speak as if something was blocking her mouth.
Zhu Gaoxu was staring at her collar, his eyes very hot.
She thought that the scene began with various etiquette and careful words in this majestic imperial city and the ancient and literary palace.However, everything was unexpected.
Chen Xu wanted to say that last time was the last time. But she finally didn't say anything.
Zhu Gaoxu seemed to feel that she was a little reluctant, so he advised with kind words: No one else knows about it.
Chen Xu was also very restless, and Zhu Gaoxu's warm palms felt on her shoulders, and she had a little difficulty breathing.
There was still a little rationality left in her heart that she felt that she shouldn't have, but it soon became very unstable; perhaps because she had long been close to Gao Xu, she really couldn't find a reason to strongly refuse.
She suddenly hugged Zhu Gaoxu's neck and pressed her face against his skin.I searched my hair and clothes before at Donghua Gate, and I was in a mess.
I wandered for so long yesterday, but unexpectedly, she and Gao Xu met for less than half a stick of incense, and everything happened naturally.
At this moment, Chen Xu felt a little disappointed again.
……
The sun is bright in April, and it is already at noon.
The imperial prison inside Hongwu Gate was still dark. Yao Fang was lying on a wooden bed and heard the sound of unlocking.He turned over and looked up and saw that the door of the cell had been opened.
Zhang Sheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei wearing a round-necked official robe, and several followers stood at the door. Zhang Sheng said: I will follow the emperor's will, and I will release you today.Yao Fang, you can go home and you don’t have to go to Jinyiwei again in the future.
Yao Fang immediately turned over and got up, and the shackles on her body sounded loudly.He has been in this dark cell for many days and has long forgotten his days.
Unlock his shackles!Zhang Sheng said in his voice again.
A prison guard walked in, and Yao Fang took the initiative to hand over his hands first.Then Yao Fang took off her prison uniform and followed Zhang Sheng silently.
He had just walked out of the imperial prison and his eyes were suddenly stabbed by bright light. He quickly closed his eyes again, and it took a while to get used to it.
Yao Fang stood for a long time, turned around and saw Zhang Sheng behind and sent him outside the door. Yao Fang clasped her fists and said: Thank you General Zhang, I will come later.
Zhang Sheng immediately put away his official expression and said kindly: Ling Zun is outside Hongwu Gate.I will send someone to tell him, go quickly.
Now Yao Fang has become a commoner, but Zhang Sheng must know that his sister is still the imperial concubine.
It was difficult to take a bath in the prison. Yao Fang, who took off her prison uniform and untied her chains, was still dirty and her hair was messy, and she was simply out of place.
He walked out of the Hongwu Gate not far away in a daze, and indeed saw Yao Fengji and several slaves, who were already waiting there with a carriage.
It made my father worried.Yao Fang walked forward and bowed.
Yao Fengji looked at him and slapped Yao Fang in the arm: Get in the car, go home and wash it home and have a good meal.
The father and son walked onto the carriage together, looking at each other speechlessly. Yao Fang always feels that her family has been separated since childhood; his father seems to feel the same way.
The carriage was quickly driven by the groom, and the carriage was shaken gently.Yao Fengji, who was sitting opposite, took the initiative to speak: You can be fine this time, the second sister should have helped a lot.Don't do stupid things again in the future!
Um!Yao Fang nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Yao Fengji seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Yao Fang was no longer angry, but now his heart was just empty; he felt that nothing was interesting and didn't know what he should do.
Qin's family is at home?Yao Fang suddenly asked.
How is that possible? Yao Fengji frowned and said, "You snatched back the Qin family, but fortunately you were taken away immediately." The Qin family would come quickly to pick them up and keep some innocence. What are you still doing in our family if you are not named or divided?
After hearing this, Yao Fang nodded, thinking it made sense.
Yao Fengji said in a deep voice: Qin Weng has a reputation as a Juren, and his daughter was stolen on the day of her wedding, which is not a glorious thing. However, the Xiao family had been convicted before, and the Qin family secretly sent a gift to thank him. If it weren’t for the blessing of disguise, the Qin family would have been implicated and guilty!
After hearing this, Yao Fang held her hands on the back of her head, and leaned on the wooden board of the carriage and sighed a long time.
At this time, Chen Xu's car had arrived outside Dong'anmen Gate, and she saw the towering imperial city and the high walls in front of her.
