Chapter 201
Eunuch Li, who always had a smiling face, bowed his body and bowed deeply to the person in front of him, saying flatteringly, "Sir, you are in a high position and have great power. Everyone in the court knows about this. Even if you don't ask, we will definitely do our best to take good care of the Sixth Miss. Please rest assured, Sir Yin!"
It’s getting late, so I’ll take the Sixth Miss back to the palace. The trial of this matter will begin tomorrow morning. ”
Zhang walked forward in a hurry. When she came close, she bowed slightly and said in a very respectful manner, "Eunuch Li, you don't know that this Sixth Miss is still young and weak. From birth to now, she has never left home alone!
So, could you please show mercy and allow Sixth Miss's personal maid, Nanny Zhou, and the eunuch slave A Tian to come along and serve Sixth Miss well. In this way, we can ensure that the sixth girl has a safe journey, and we as parents can feel more at ease. "After saying this, Zhang raised her head and looked at Eunuch Li expectantly, her eyes full of earnestness.
Eunuch Li's godfather is Feng Sanxiang, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. Feng Sanxiang has connections with the former dynasty and the harem, so even people from aristocratic families have to be polite to him when they meet him. Otherwise, these eunuchs would just whisper in the emperor's ear and he wouldn't even know how he died.
Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Sixth Miss is a guest, so she must be taken good care of. She is naturally nervous and uneasy when she is away from home alone. The Queen Mother said that Sixth Miss can bring her maids and nannies into the palace."
Then, Eunuch Li turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on the tall, mighty and handsome A Tian standing beside him. He had a figure as straight as a pine tree, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a handsome face. He didn't look like a eunuch at all.
Eunuch Li hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "This... this... this person is a eunuch, but judging from his appearance, he does not look like a eunuch at all. The inner court of our imperial palace is a forbidden area. People who have not been strictly verified are absolutely not allowed to enter the palace at will. Otherwise, if the rules of the palace are broken, I can't bear the consequences. I hope that Madam will understand.
Although it’s the same as our house, we no longer have that thing. But his appearance is very different from that of ordinary eunuchs. To put it bluntly, eunuchs are just toys for their masters to entertain themselves. On weekdays, he is kept in the back house and serves the ladies.
If such a person were taken out of the palace and seen by outsiders who were unaware of the situation, it would probably tarnish the reputation and integrity of the young lady in the mansion. So, ma'am, you have to consider this carefully and think about it again and again! ”
Zhang said quickly: "Thank you for your advice, Eunuch Li. I was not thoughtful enough. Then let Madam Zhou go with you!"
Nanny Zhou walked forward slowly with light and steady steps. She held an extremely exquisite veil in her hand and carefully put it on Yin Zijin.
This veil has a unique and ingenious design. It removes the traditional hat part and only retains the soft gauze curtain. The gauze curtain is like the softest clouds in the sky, or like the mist on the lake in the early morning, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
What’s even more amazing is that this gauze curtain is made of floating brocade that is as white as snow and has a slightly transparent texture. This floating brocade is as thin as a cicada's wing in summer, as if it could be blown away by a breeze.
On the gauze curtain as thin as smoke, there are delicately embroidered beautiful, graceful and elegant peonies with gold threads as thin as hair. Those golden silk threads sparkled brightly under the sunlight, and set off by the white gauze curtain, making them even more gorgeous and eye-catching.
When the veil was put on, the thin gauze curtain gently fell on Yin Zijin's shoulders. It did not feel heavy at all. Instead, it fluttered slightly with Yin Zijin's movements, as if dancing in the wind.
Through this layer of gauze, you can see Yin Zijin's beautiful face looming, just like seeing flowers in the fog or the moon in the water, which makes people want to find out what's going on. This outfit not only covers his face, but also adds a touch of mystery and subtle softness to him, making him look like a fairy from heaven, fascinating.
Yin Zijin bowed quickly and said goodbye: "Father and mother, Zijin is leaving. Take care, father and mother..."
Not long after, Yin Zijin was seen carefully moving her small three-inch golden lotus feet and lightly boarding a luxuriously decorated carriage. The wheels pressed over the snow, making a squeaking sound, as if it was a unique melody in winter. The carriage moved forward slowly and steadily, and the wheels left deep and shallow ruts in the snow.
A group of fully armed guards tightly surrounded the carriage. They looked serious and scanned their surroundings vigilantly. Looking at so many guards, Yin Zijin couldn't help but frown slightly, and a trace of worry and uneasiness arose in his heart.
Eunuch Li, who was sitting next to her, noticed Yin Zijin's mood change and quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't worry. These guards are specially arranged to ensure your safety. After all, you are a key link in the evidence of this case..."
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. The carriage that Yin Zijin was riding in stopped at the palace gate. Due to the regulations of court etiquette, carriages could not drive directly into the harem area, so Yin Zijin had to get off the carriage and walk. She walked with heavy steps along the wide stone road towards Chengqian Palace where the queen was.
The towering palace walls were like an insurmountable barrier, completely isolating the outside world from this magnificent imperial palace. The faint sunlight fell on the vermilion wall, reflecting a dazzling light, but this light did not dispel the feeling of depression that permeated Yin Zijin's heart.
He slowly raised his head and looked up at the majestic and imposing palace, feeling awe in his heart. However, this awe was soon replaced by a heavy depression, as if an invisible mountain was pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Yin Zijin couldn't help but think: "Is this the majesty of the royal family?" The further he went in, the heavier his heart became. In this vast land, in this prosperous feudal dynasty, the will of the royal family was the supreme law, and the authority of the imperial power was so terrifying that no one could disobey it.
