Chapter 124 Changchun Palace

Since you can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself.

She may not be able to hold power or gain influence, but if she learns how to make money, she will be able to earn a lot of money in the future.

She believed that only with the nourishment of money could people be calm and composed.

Seeing how determined she was, Shang Ji finally gave in.

"Since Madam is willing to give it a try, then go see what Sister-in-law thinks. But if she is not happy about it, don't be sad."

"General, rest assured. I have been doing business with my parents for some years. I have seen all kinds of faces. Even if my sister-in-law doesn't want to, I won't make things difficult for myself."

"That's good."

After the couple agreed on this matter, they talked about other things.

At this time, sister-in-law Liu and nephew Shang Zhiping were still packing things in Fuqiu Courtyard, and they had no idea what kind of turn of events would be waiting for them next.

After a good night's sleep, it was soon time for Du Jingyi to enter the palace for an audience.

She is going to dress more formally today than yesterday.

But Lizhu and Yingtao both remembered what their general had said, so they did not focus on being gorgeous, but instead focused on being dignified and generous.

Therefore, Du Jingyi today really looks like a lady with her demeanor and appearance.

The carriage she was riding in today was bestowed upon Shang Ji by the emperor, so it was very stable.

Yingtao and Lizhu also sat obediently on both sides. Although there was nervousness in their eyes, there was more excitement.

After all, they had never thought three years ago that they would have the chance to enter the palace and meet the most noble woman in the world. Therefore, the two of them kept breathing in and out to adjust their mentality.

Du Jingyi, on the other hand, has had a smile on his face ever since he left the house.

The wind blew through the car curtains, moving them slightly.

Looking at her husband Shang Ji riding his horse outside with a serious face, Du Jingyi felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

He clearly said yesterday that His Majesty had not summoned him, but today he got up early and said that he had military business to report to the palace.

It is not ruled out that this is the reason, but Du Jingyi also knows that he is still worried about her.

So she was grateful.

Perhaps it was because of Shang Ji's company along the way that Du Jingyi felt a lot more at ease.

The carriage traveled steadily for less than half an hour, and the majestic imperial city appeared before everyone.

There were imperial guards guarding the palace gate. When they saw Shang Ji, they showed more respect than usual.

"I have met the general."

"Um."

After saying this, Luo Yuan, who was beside Shang Ji, rode forward to explain.

"The general has military business to report to His Majesty today, and the general's wife has received an imperial decree from the Empress, and has come to the palace to meet with the Emperor. Please let her go."

As soon as these words came out, the commander of the guards respectfully let him pass.

From the city gate to the palace gate, the journey was smooth and unobstructed.

Only when the carriage stopped in front of Yuding Gate did Shang Ji ride his horse to the side and speak to Du Jingyi who was sitting inside.

"Get out of the car. The Queen has sent someone to bring a sedan chair to pick you up."

Du Jingyi was a little surprised, but he still took a deep breath and came down with Cherry and Lizhu.

Shang Jixia immediately went forward to help her, although it was not even one percent of the intimacy they usually had.

But Du Jingyi was still a little shy.

Maybe there are palace maids standing in front of me today. Sure enough, a eunuch with a kind face came over and said.

"I greet General Shang and Young Madam."

"Eunuch Hu, there is no need to be so polite. You are the chief eunuch beside the Queen. You don't have to be so polite even when meeting my father."

The man's identity was revealed in just one sentence, and Du Jingyi knew how to treat him.

Those are three clear words: Don’t mess with me.

Seeing this, Eunuch Hu smiled even more kindly and hurried forward to speak.

"General, you are praising me too much."

Shang Ji took over his words without hesitation.

"You are too polite, Eunuch Hu. I have something else to ask His Majesty today, so I won't delay any longer. If the audience with the Empress is over, please send someone to let me know so that I can wait for Madam to go home together."

"No wonder people outside are saying that the general and the young lady are a match made in heaven. Today, I saw that they are a perfect match and very loving. If the queen knew about this, she would definitely be happy."

Du Jingyi stood beside him, always maintaining a dignified and decent posture.

Not a word was spoken, not a movement was made.

He went over in his mind carefully the rules that were taught by the nanny that his father had hired at a great expense.

Eunuch Hu has served in the palace for many years and has seen all kinds of scenes.

Naturally, he knew the panic in Du Jingyi's heart, so he said something with a smile.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Young Madam, please follow me. Madam and Madam Xing are in Changchun Palace, boiling snow and making tea. They are waiting for you to come over."

Hearing that her aunt was there, Du Jingyi felt more at ease. So after taking a look at her husband, she responded appropriately.

"Please lead the way, Eunuch Hu."

"please."

Du Jingyi got on the sedan chair, and after the curtain was lowered, he heard Eunuch Hu calling out.

"Lift the sedan."

Then I felt my body rising slightly, and then I walked forward steadily.

The maids Yingtao and Lizhu stood on the left and right sides of the sedan chair and followed it, and the group went straight to the harem.

As for Shang Ji, he turned around and spoke after watching Du Jingyi's sedan chair gradually go away.

"Let's go. I'm going to see His Majesty."

"yes."

Luo Yuan had followed Shang Ji into the palace countless times, so he was much calmer.

The roads in the palace were always cleaned by someone, so there was no trace of snow.

But the north wind was blowing, pushing the entire imperial city into an even colder environment.

After walking for about half an hour, Du Jingyi finally arrived at the gate of Changchun Palace.

As soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair and lifted the curtain, she saw the palace that countless women dreamed of.

It is indeed the residence of the most powerful queen in the world. One can feel its dignity and respect just through the high palace walls.

Eunuch Hu stepped forward and led Du Jingyi in.

The maids Yingtao and Lizhu also followed behind their young mistress, following closely and very well-behaved.

The master and his two servants entered the Changchun Palace and did not dare to look around.

But this luxury and grace are overwhelming.

The Changchun Palace faces south and stands on a white marble pedestal.

It is seven bays wide and five bays deep, with a three-layer curved roof covered with green glazed tiles.

The pillars under the eaves are carved with lotus-patterned bases, while the eaves are painted with colorful paintings depicting auspicious scenes.

The nanmu flower canopy with a dragon-shaped floor-to-ceiling shape wraps the corridor, and after passing through the hanging flower door on the west side, you enter the courtyard.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see an octagonal pedestal made of white jade in the middle, with a huge Taihu rock placed on it.

There are holes everywhere, and the scenery changes with every step.

If an ordinary family got a piece of Taihu stone the size of a fingertip, they could brag about it for most of their lives. But in the Changchun Palace, it is just a scene in the courtyard.
