Chapter 471 Xing Xing Enters the Palace

Yu Chongjie's expression changed slightly: "This pearl hairpin?"

Mao closed her eyes, forcing herself to suppress her sadness, and smiled bitterly: "Mingzhu brought it here, saying she wanted to apologize to me."

She raised her eyes and looked at Yu Chongjie: "My husband, tell me, should I accept it?"

Yu Chongjie sighed, and after a while he said, "...Mingzhu has always been kind. Forget it, since she sent it to you, you should just accept it."

He made up his mind to go back to the silver shop and buy some more jewelry for Yu Mingzhu.

Yu Chongjie was filled with emotion. He had originally bought this hairpin to give to Madam Mao, but he had placed it in his study. Before he could give it away, it was stolen by Madam Mao because of his poor care. At that time, Madam Mao cried every day, and he could not comfort her with this kind of jewelry.

Later, her sister Mingzhu's good reputation in the capital was tarnished. When she came to him to cry, she saw the pearl hairpin in his study and was very pleased. He had always loved this sister, so he gave the pearl hairpin to her.

But he never imagined that after so many twists and turns, the hairpin that belonged to his wife would return to her hands.

Yu Chongjie was still sighing about fate, but he never imagined that at this moment, Mao had already lost all hope.

Mao was very tired. She closed her eyes and just wanted to have a good sleep.

The fact that Xingxing entered the palace made the entire Yu family nervous.

Early in the morning of the day when she entered the palace, before dawn and the morning star had even risen, Mrs. Wei led the women in the family to Xingxing's Qiu Shui Garden.

Xingxing hadn't slept enough and was a little sleepy, so her grandmother and aunts woke her up from bed and started choosing clothes, jewelry and makeup for her.

Xingxing never gets grumpy in the morning. She closes her eyes and obediently lets her grandmother and aunts dress her up from head to toe.

By the time everyone at home was praising her, Xing Xing had almost come to her senses. She applied a hot towel to her face and looked in the bronze mirror. The little girl had bright eyes, a cheerful look, and was very cute. The ruby-core velvet flower pin on her hair made her look even more cute and adorable.

Mrs. Wei was very satisfied with this.

Their daughter Xingxing is naturally cute, and with this make-up, she looks even more adorable with red lips, white teeth, and cute and well-behaved. She is very lovable, and one can't help wanting to love her dearly at first sight.

The whole family solemnly sent Xingxing to the gate of the majestic imperial palace.

No matter how worried you are, you can only stop in front of the palace gate.

Yu Yongbai took a special leave today and whispered to Xingxing, "If you encounter any problems in the palace, find a eunuch to come to the palace gate and tell him. I will be waiting for you at the palace gate and will definitely protect you."

Mrs. Wei also said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Xingxing, remember, if you really encounter something urgent, don't worry about us, you must let someone spread the word."

Xing Xing smiled brightly at the Yu family and agreed without any hesitation, which calmed the Yu family's somewhat uneasy hearts.

There was already a eunuch waiting at the palace gate, and he looked like Maitreya Buddha, with a smiling face.

Seeing Yu Yonghuai leading a little girl towards the palace gate, the eunuch who looked like Maitreya Buddha immediately came up to greet Yu Yonghuai and said, "Hello, General Zhenxi." He looked at Xingxing and asked with a smile, "Is this General Zhenxi's sister?"

Seeing Xingxing looking at him with a clear and honest look, the eunuch smiled even more kindly: "Don't be afraid, Miss Yu. I am the eunuch in charge of Zhaoyang Palace. I am here on the orders of the Empress to take Miss Yu into the palace."

Yu Yonghuai heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who came to pick up Xingxing was Eunuch Hong from Zhaoyang Palace.

This Eunuch Hong was the eunuch in charge of Zhaoyang Palace. When he walked around in the palace, he represented Empress Nie's Zhaoyang Palace.

Who dares not to give him face?

In other words, Queen Nie asked Eunuch Hong to pick up Xingxing, which clearly showed that she valued protection. Otherwise, she could have just asked a eunuch to pick her up.

Yu Yonghuai bowed to Eunuch Hong solemnly and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Hong."

Eunuch Hong was slightly startled, his eyes fell on the Yu family not far behind, and then he smiled, thinking that it seemed that the rumors were true, and that everyone in the Yu family regarded the daughter of the Yu family as the apple of their eye.

"General Yu, please be at ease." Eunuch Hong returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Miss Yu's good fortune is yet to come."

Eunuch Hong showed his badge to the gatekeeper Yu Linjun and took Xingxing into the palace.

As the palace gates closed, Xingxing turned around and glanced at Yu Yonghuai.

Yu Yonghuai stood outside the palace gate, as reliable as a deep well and a mountain.

Xingxing felt extremely relieved.

Eunuch Hong took Xingxing to the inner palace. Seeing that Xingxing took small steps, he slowed down his pace. When walking through the garden, he would take the initiative to explain to Xingxing anything that she was interested in, and was considerate to her.

After all, the harem was not too big, and when Eunuch Hong was taking Xing Xing through the long corridor in the palace, they were seen by Concubine Rou who was sitting in the sedan chair.

Concubine Rou Gui exclaimed, and stretched out her hand to ask the maid who was carrying the sedan chair to stop. She smiled and asked Eunuch Hong, "Where are you going, Eunuch Hong? Whose family is this little girl from? She looks very pretty."

Eunuch Hong smiled and replied, "To answer Concubine Rou, this is the younger sister of General Zhenxi. The Empress heard about her noble act of helping the victims without seeking fame or gain, so she specially summoned her to the palace to meet with her."

When Concubine Rou Gui heard that this was General Zhenxi's sister, her attitude immediately changed and she became unhappy.

Previously, her brother from her natal family had made great contributions in suppressing bandits and providing disaster relief. In addition, she also had her sister, Concubine Rougui, who was a favored concubine in the palace. She was just waiting for the emperor to give her the house in Wuyi Lane that he had long set his eyes on.

Originally they thought it was a sure win, but Concubine Rougui's family could not have imagined that at this critical moment, a young general with great military achievements suddenly showed up, and the house they had obtained was gone, and it became a private residence awarded to the Yu family by the emperor.

However, Yu Yonghuai was very popular and had solid military achievements, so Concubine Rou Gui's family couldn't say anything. But they did remember the incident.

How could Concubine Rou be in a good mood when she saw Xingxing, the sister of General Zhenxi?

She was considered well-mannered because she didn't quarrel with him on the spot.

Concubine Rou Gui curled her lips and leaned softly in the soft sedan chair: "Speaking of which, I just remembered that I haven't been feeling well these days, and I haven't paid my respects to the Empress for a few days. It's a good opportunity for me to go and pay my respects to the Empress as well."

This was a very legitimate reason, and Supervisor Hong naturally had no right to refuse.

He had no choice but to make a gesture of invitation, asking Concubine Rou to go first.

Concubine Rougui raised her chin slightly, said "hmm", and glanced at Xingxing calmly.

Seeing that Xing Xing didn't pay any attention to them at all, Concubine Rougui couldn't help feeling complicated.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before Zhaoyang Palace appeared before our eyes.
