Chapter 1556 Anyone Can Come
The emperor must be inside now.
Thinking of this, she tidied her hair a little, shook off the snow foam and fallen leaves that had just stuck to the corners of her skirt, then raised her head and walked forward happily.
However, just as she was about to reach there, a voice suddenly rang out beside her.
"stop!"
Si Muzhen turned around and saw several people coming from another road. Leading them was a young woman, followed by several people dressed as palace maids.
Si Muzhen frowned.
She had gone through countless hardships and finally got close to the imperial study, but was stopped here.
I'm not willing to accept it, but there's nothing I can do.
After all, her status did not allow her to move freely in the palace, and the woman who was slowly walking towards her, although she was just an ordinary beautiful woman and not a peerless beauty, had her hair full of pearls and jade and her body covered in silk and satin. One could tell at a glance that she must be a concubine in the palace.
So she had no choice but to stop.
The concubine walked up to her, looked her over from the corner of her eyes, and said arrogantly, "Who are you?"
“…”
Si Muzhen was also looking at her and did not answer immediately.
At this moment, a palace maid standing behind immediately shouted angrily: "How dare you not answer the question asked by Concubine An!"
The person who came was none other than Concubine An Gao Yurong.
"Anpin... Madam?"
Hearing this title, Si Muzhen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ever since witnessing the imperial concubine's majesty, Simuzhen tried to find out the identities and origins of the concubines in the harem. After a little thought, she remembered that this Concubine An was once from the Duke's Mansion. Because she accompanied Wu Wan to marry into the Prince of Yan's Mansion, she became a concubine. Later, when the emperor ascended the throne, she was canonized as Concubine An.
However, after so many years, she was just a concubine named An.
Simuzhen knew her identity and bowed to her: "Greetings to Concubine An, I am Simuzhen."
"Si... Mu Zhen..."
Gao Yurong raised her eyebrows slightly.
The name was unfamiliar to her, but the surname was not unfamiliar to her at all.
Moreover, it is no longer a secret that the imperial concubine has summoned people from her uncle's family into the palace these days. Of course, that is just a child's matter. They have no right to interfere and are too lazy to care.
But, this Simuzhen actually came here.
When Gao Yurong looked up, she saw the imperial study not far away.
A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes as she asked, "Are you the imperial concubine's sister?"
"Exactly."
"Did the imperial concubine ask you to come into the palace?"
"My humble daughter—"
"I heard that the imperial concubine allowed Miss Gu to enter the palace, and I didn't hear that anyone else could enter the palace."
Sensing the other party's hostility, Si Muzhen lowered her head and said, "I accompanied Gu Qiqing into the palace."
"oh?"
Gao Yurong raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
However, she didn't speak immediately. Instead, she suddenly pointed to the grass beside her and asked, "What is that?"
The palace maid Bai Xue behind her went over immediately, parted the flowers and trees and saw that it was a cat. The cat was frightened and meowed before running away along the corner of the wall.
Because of Princess Xinping, the emperor does not allow people in the harem to keep cats. He chased away many of them a while ago, and some cats escaped and hid in the corners.
Seeing the cat running away, Gao Yurong sneered, "This palace is becoming more and more unruly."
“…”
"Anyone can come."
