Chapter 200 Entering the Palace
Yin Zijin slightly raised her beautiful face, opened her red lips, and responded softly and gracefully: "Regarding the matter of saving people, Zijin always believes that she has done nothing wrong! Moreover, the person she saved this time is the extremely noble Princess Anding of our Great Sheng Dynasty.
Princess Anding lived a very hard life. As a citizen of the Great Sheng Dynasty, how could Zijin stand by and watch her die without helping? This is unacceptable both morally and logically! If Zijin knew that there was a problem with the incense but deliberately concealed it, that would be a huge sin! ”
Yin Zijin paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of determination, and continued, "However, in your eyes, mother, you may think that this matter is really too big.
After all, Zijin was just a woman who lived in the boudoir and should have kept to her duties. It was indeed against the rules of etiquette for her to show up in public like this. But Zijin was only thinking about saving Princess Anding from danger at that time and had no time to care about anything else! ”
After hearing this, Zhang couldn't help but snorted heavily. Her originally tense face now looked even more gloomy: "Now you know that you have done something wrong? You can obviously stay out of it and not care about it, why do you have to involve yourself? What does the princess's affairs have to do with you?
Besides, royal affairs have always been complicated and intricate, and the slightest mistake will lead to falling into an abyss of no return. Have you ever thought carefully about our Yin family?
This case will be tried jointly by the Ministry of Clan Affairs and the Three Courts, and even the current emperor and the empress will be present in person. By then, you, an unmarried girl, will be the only one standing there. Is this reasonable? As an unmarried woman, you are out in public all day long. Don't you care about your own reputation? Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to think about those sisters in our Yin family who are also unmarried! They will all get married in the future! ”
Facing her mother's rebuke, Yin Zijin quickly responded, "Mother, calm down. Please listen to what I have to say. From the moment you made up your mind to marry me to His Royal Highness, Zijin and His Royal Highness have been on the same page.
Besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Anding are brothers from the same mother. How could I stand by and watch them die without helping them?
More importantly, saving Her Royal Highness the Princess this time was purely a coincidence and an unintentional act. If not for a series of events that happened by chance, it would probably have been difficult to come by this good fate. ”
After hearing what Yin Zijin said, Zhang's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a sneer of contempt. That laugh seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, making people shudder. She said in a sarcastic and mean tone: "Humph! Look at our sixth daughter, she's grown up now and has her own ideas! She hasn't even got married yet, but she's already started to act outwardly..."
Zhang was about to say something even more unpleasant, but at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front yard. It turned out to be the maid from the front yard who came running over. She looked flustered and kept urging, "Madam, have you packed? Eunuch Wang in the front yard is getting anxious waiting!"
Hearing this, Zhang stood up quickly. She first glared at Yin Zijin fiercely, her eyes full of anger and dissatisfaction. Then, she quickly turned her head away, no longer paying attention to Yin Zijin, and started to tidy up her clothes.
Seeing this, Nanny Zhou hurried forward and carefully helped Yin Zijin, who had fallen to the ground, up. Yin Zijin looked at Zhang with a wronged expression, tears flashing in her eyes, but she dared not say a word.
Zhang walked forward, and when she passed by Yin Zijin, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pinched Yin Zijin's slender waist hard. Yin Zijin almost cried out in pain, but she still held back her tears and clenched her teeth to prevent herself from crying. Yin Zijin felt that her waist must have turned blue.
Zhang leaned close to Yin Zijin's ear, lowered her voice, and warned him with gritted teeth: "If it's a small matter, you can just make up an identity. But in front of the emperor and empress, making up an identity is deceiving the emperor.
You have to listen to me carefully. When you enter the palace this time, you must not bring shame to our family, and you must not lose your manners! Otherwise, wait and see how I’ll deal with you when I come back! "After saying that, she walked out of the room without looking back, leaving only Yin Zijin and Madam Zhou standing there.
Nanny Zhou reacted and quickly helped Yin Zijin walk out. Two sedan chairs were ready outside the Yimei Courtyard. Zhang looked at Nanny Zhou again and said, "Nanny Zhou, you didn't do a good job on this matter. I will punish you when I come back."
Afterwards, Zhang got into the sedan chair, and Yin Zijin also got into the sedan chair with the help of Nanny Zhou. These two sedan chairs were originally used for short distance travel within the mansion. The space was very narrow and limited, and could only barely accommodate one person sitting safely in them. After Zhang and Yin Zijin were seated firmly in their respective sedan chairs, the maids in charge of carrying the sedan chairs slowly lifted them and walked slowly towards the front yard with steady steps.
After the two were seated firmly, the maid slowly lifted the sedan chair and moved it steadily towards the front yard. Along the way, the two people in the sedan had different moods.
After a not-so-short journey, we finally arrived at the front yard. At this time, Zhang and Yin Zijin hurriedly got off the sedan chair and walked forward quickly. From a distance, they saw the father-in-law sitting upright on a chair.
When I got closer, I saw that the eunuch had a big smile on his face, and he was obviously very satisfied with Yin Xu's hospitality. At this moment, he was having a very pleasant conversation with Yin Xu, laughing heartily from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Zhang and Yin Zijin hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Greetings to the master and Eunuch Li."
Eunuch Li stood up quickly and said with a smile: "How dare you let Madam perform such a great ceremony?"
Zhang smiled and said, "Eunuch Li is a popular figure around the Queen. He should be treated with respect."
Eunuch Li asked quickly: "The one beside you must be the Sixth Miss, right?"
Yin Zijin bowed quickly and said, "Ask Mr. Li Gongan."
Eunuch Li said admiringly: "She is indeed a great beauty. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is very polite and well-mannered. This shows how strict her upbringing was!"
Eunuch Li's words seemed to inadvertently slap Zhang in the face. Zhang felt a burning pain on her face and didn't know how to react for a moment. At this time, Yin Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Eunuch Li, the Sixth Miss has been raised in seclusion and has never seen the world. This time when she enters the palace, I hope Eunuch Li will take good care of her."
