At six o'clock in the morning, Hua Qingcheng and Shan Zuo finally arrived outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Master, we're here."

Hua Qingcheng looked in the direction pointed by Dan Zuo, and saw a large house with a high courtyard wall in front of her. Above the gate of the house hung a large gold-painted plaque with the three characters "Prime Minister's Mansion" engraved on it.

"Let's go, Zuo."

Hua Qingcheng touched the tattered cloth bag hidden in her wide sleeves, then slowly walked up the stairs. Shan Zuo followed closely behind her upon hearing this.

"Stop, who are you? Do you know where this place is? This is the Prime Minister's residence, not a place you can trespass in."

Like Situ Ye, Hua Qingcheng and Shan Zuo were also stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion by An Nan and Xiang Bei who were on duty.

"Hua Qingcheng."

"Are you Hua Qingcheng?"

Annan and Xiangbei looked at the woman in front of them with surprise, but soon returned to their indifferent and distant appearance.

"It's really me, the only one like me." Hua Qingcheng stood proudly like a green bamboo in the forest, allowing him to look at her.

"Miss Hua, please wait a moment."

Annan gave Xiangbei a look, and Xiangbei turned around and knocked on the side door at the back. After a while, the door opened with a creak.

"Guard Annan, who's here?"

The doorman, Lao Hu, opened the side door a little, stuck his head out, and looked left and right.

"Hua Qingcheng is here."

Hearing Annan's words, the doorman, Lao Hu, immediately opened the side door and said to Annan, "Let her in. The master has instructed that when Hua Qingcheng comes, she should enter through the side door."

"Flower girl, please."

Annan turned around and walked forward, waving his hand towards Hua Qingcheng as an invitation.

Hua Qingcheng glanced at the majestic and closed gate in front of her, then glanced at the inconspicuous side door next to it, her face slightly gloomy.

Although she was a time traveler, she also knew about the strict feudal hierarchy in ancient times. Except for people of equal or higher status who could enter through the main door, those of lower status could only enter through the side door, and people like slaves could only go through the back door.

Knowing it was one thing, but actually having to enter the Prime Minister's residence through the side door in such a humiliating way made Hua Qingcheng feel a little unhappy. After all, she came today as Situ Xuanye's wife, not as a commoner to pay respect to the Prime Minister. It seemed that the other party was trying to intimidate her.

The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the courtyard and hall are charming.

"Sir, Hua Qingcheng is too rude. It's almost 9 o'clock, but she's still nowhere to be seen." On the right side of the upper seat, Yuwen Tianqi said to Situ Luoyun with disdain on his face.

"Maybe something delayed him." Situ Luoyun glanced at Yuwen Tianqi and said slowly.

As the head of the family, she was naturally aware of the little tricks her husband was doing, but she also wanted to see whether Hua Qingcheng was a reckless woman or a smart person, so she just let it go without saying anything.

"Mom, Dad, Qingcheng is a punctual person and she values ​​her promises. She would never be late for no reason. Besides, isn't there still a quarter of an hour before the Si hour?" Although Situ Ye was a little anxious inside, he still spoke calmly.

"Something? What could be more important than meeting my mother-in-law and father-in-law for the first time? Your mother went to the palace to attend court early this morning, and even asked the emperor for leave for her. What could a peasant girl's business be more important than a national event?"

Yuwen Tianqi was overjoyed. Yansheng had just reported to him that Hua Qingcheng was still blocking the main gate because she didn't want to enter the mansion through the side door.

"Dad, I'll go to the gate to see if she's here."

Situ Wanqing was extremely curious about Hua Qingcheng. She even asked someone to go to the Imperial College to ask for a day off today, just to see who her brother's sweetheart was, and who could make the eldest son of the prime minister's family, who was always so arrogant, willing to be the second husband of a country woman.

"Qing'er, you are not allowed to go. You even asked for leave from the teacher for Hua Qingcheng and missed a day of lessons. She is so ungrateful that it is not worth it for you to go and meet her in person." Yuwen Tianqi grabbed Situ Wanqing who had already taken a step forward.

"Sir, Hua Qingcheng has just arrived at the main gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she doesn't want to come in through the side door. She said..." Just when Situ Wanqing wanted to go out but was stopped by Yuwen Tianqi, the housekeeper Old Xu hurried in to report.

"What did she say?"

Situ Luoyun picked up the tea on the table, scraped the cup lid to scrape the tea with tea leaves floating in it, and was also a little curious.

"She said that if the Lord and the Master are not available, she will come to visit another day. She also said..." Old Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a little hesitant.

"What else to say?" Looking at Butler Xu who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Yuwen Tianqi was also suspicious.

"She also said, 'Erlang hasn't been back to his father's house for a long time, so let him stay there for a few more days to reunite with his mother and father and enjoy family life. Please ask my mother-in-law and father-in-law to take good care of him, and... and the baby in his belly.'" Butler Old Xu imitated Hua Qingcheng's tone of voice, waving his sleeves as he spoke, wiping away the cold sweat that kept coming out of his forehead.

child?

“Cough cough cough…”

Situ Luoyun, who was drinking tea, was choked by what Butler Xu said and started coughing continuously. The teacup almost fell to the ground. He put the teacup back on the table with trembling hands while coughing.

Situ Luoyun glanced at Situ Ye with a complicated expression. In other words, not only had her cabbage been taken away by the pigs, but she even had piglets. Or perhaps she had planted cabbages as well?

Yuwen Tianqi, who was standing by, was struck by lightning when he heard this. He first glared at Situ Ye, who was sitting below him, with disappointment, and then hurried over to pat Situ Luoyun on the back to calm him down.

"Pass on my words, open the main gate and welcome the distinguished guest."
