Chapter 508 [Everyone assemble! ]
Jiang Lili's almond-shaped eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she nodded, "Okay!"
Xin Che lay dormant and hoarded troops for three years so that when he took over the palace, Li Li, the little magician, would be able to do so easily, safely and without any pressure.
"Don't you want to go to bed early and get up early? Let's try to go to bed early tonight."
"Okay, okay!"
Jiang Lili was a little nervous at first, after all, things were going to change tonight, but Xin Che's words made her feel at ease. Yes, she had so many backers, what was there to be afraid of? What was there to worry about?
Hou Xiaoxiao said that the Jiang family would also be present tonight.
At this moment, Jiang Lili suddenly became interested in dressing up, and happily pulled Lingzhi to choose jewelry and clothes.
Seeing Jiang Lili running around like a happy little butterfly, Xin Che raised the corners of his lips slightly, and his eyes were filled with tenderness.
"I'll check it again and pick you up in a carriage when it's time to enter the palace."
"Okay, be careful!"
Jiang Lili waved at Xin Che and continued to dress up and show off.
At this time, the class group chat was very lively.
@Squad Leader Qi Yun (Chief Judge of the Imperial Hospital): All departments, please report your situation. The palace banquet begins at 7:30 pm. Please note, this is not a drill. This is not a drill.
@Mu Chengfeng (son of the martial arts leader): The dog emperor has ordered my father to gather martial artists to surround the palace. If anyone from Prince Zhao's mansion is found to have escaped, they will be killed without mercy.
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: You're trapped in your own trap. Next one!
@Hou Xiaoxiao (Princess of Jin): Divine Doctor, my seat is right next to the Queen Mother, just one step lower than her, but I can still smell her old scent. What should I do if it affects my appetite?
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: Don't eat, lose weight. Next!
@Panda (King of Beasts, Giant Panda): The food in the palace is terrible! I really want to sneak into the imperial kitchen and be the chef!
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: Similarly, not eating will help you lose weight. Next!
@Zhou Jushan (Eunuch Chief): Tonight is the night of my rebirth! Let the storm come even harder! The liberated serfs sing, finally no longer having to call themselves slaves!
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: Calm down, eunuch. Don't get excited now, save it for later. Next one!
@李思忠 (Linzhou sales champion): I was not invited.
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: Your Linzhou specialty roasted pigeon has been invited to the imperial kitchen tonight. Next!
@Wen Qiao: The trick to tease the emperor is already arranged, waiting for the fish to take the bait. Maybe another big fish can be caught.
…
@Guan Yue (Bandit Sister): All city guards are on standby tonight, reporting any signs of trouble immediately. According to my intel, in addition to martial arts masters, Emperor Qingning has also assembled 50,000 troops in the capital, just in case.
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: We have more group pets, families, and troops here. Next one!
@Jiang Lili: It's ready! Prince Zhao's soft buns are ready to enter the palace!
After an afternoon of careful dressing up, Jiang Lili had transformed from a stay-at-home girl in Prince Zhao's mansion into the domineering consort of Prince Zhao.
@Squad Leader Qi Yun: Everyone assemble! OVER!
Jiang Lili, Xue Wei and others are preparing to enter the palace.
In front of the gate of Prince Zhao's mansion, three carriages for entering the palace were ready.
Jiang Lili, King Zhao and his wife, and his second brother and sister-in-law each rode in three carriages.
Jiang Lili came to the middle carriage and the coachman put the footstool in place.
Just as she reached out to hold the car door, the curtain was suddenly lifted by a slender hand.
The knuckles of his fingers were distinct, bony and powerful, and his movements were calm and dignified.
The moment the car curtain was lifted, Xin Che's face came into her sight.
He was wearing a smoky red brocade robe of the same color as Jiang Lili's clothes, with a dark golden five-clawed dragon pattern embroidered on the lapel. He had a jade belt tied around his waist, which made him look handsome and tall.
Four claws are a python, five claws are a dragon.
Jiang Lili raised her eyebrows slightly. Oh, dragon patterns, this will definitely piss off Emperor Qingning to death.
She looked up and her eyes met Xin Che's.
Xin Che had picturesque eyebrows and a high nose bridge, and his captivating phoenix eyes were staring at her quietly, with a hint of tenderness and doting in his eyes.
Although she knew that her cheap husband had a good appearance, Jiang Lili's heartbeat still accelerated unconsciously, her face flushed slightly, her fingertips unconsciously clenched the silk handkerchief, and even her breathing became lighter.
She lifted the hem of her skirt and grabbed Xin Che's hand.
Xin Che chuckled, reached out and held her hand, and pulled her into the car.
His palms were warm and dry, and the thin calluses on his fingertips gently stroked the back of her hand, bringing a tingling sensation.
After settling down in the carriage, Jiang Lili tidied up her clothes and jewelry.
Feeling Xin Che's gaze fixed on her, Jiang Lili tilted her head to look at the person beside her, her face redder than if she had put on rouge: "Why are you staring at me? Am I dressed strangely today?"
“It’s very pretty.”
Xin Che stared at her, his eyes darkening, and reached out to tuck Jiang Lili's hair behind her ears.
"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are a lot of cars and horses on the road. It will take a long time to get to the palace gate. Do you want to get some sleep first?"
When Jiang Lili heard what Xin Che said, she felt sleepy and lay on Xin Che's legs to take a nap.
Xin Che looked down at Jiang Lili, his eyes fixed on her quiet profile.
Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, like a black swallowtail butterfly, casting a faint shadow under her eyelids.
He stroked the back of her snow-white neck again and again, as if he was stroking a kitten's fur, his movements filled with tenderness and affection.
The carriage swayed from time to time, but Jiang Lili slept soundly.
I don’t know how long it took.
Jiang Lili heard Xin Che whisper in her ear: "Lili, we're here."
Jiang Lili got up from Xin Che and quietly lifted the curtain to look out.
This was her first time to enter the palace in earnest.
The palace gate is towering and majestic, and the vermilion door is inlaid with golden copper nails, shining coldly in the afterglow of the setting sun.
On both sides of the city gate, guards in armor stood solemnly, the long spears in their hands shining coldly, their eyes as sharp as hawks, scanning everyone entering the palace gate.
There was a solemn atmosphere in the air, as if even the wind had become heavy.
There were many carriages parked at the palace gate, all of which were from noble families who came to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner.
The carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Xin Che got off first, turned around and reached out to support the heroine.
Jiang Lili was dressed in a gorgeous smoky red dress with intricate lotus and phoenix embroidered on the hem. However, the wind was strong in the capital city in autumn, and the aqua-colored cloak with round flower patterns on her body covered the phoenix on the hem of her skirt.
As soon as she got off the carriage, all eyes around her were focused on her, with surprise and envy in their eyes.
"Is that Jiang Lili? How come she looks better and better after returning from exile?"
"She's already the Crown Prince's Consort, so she's so noble that she can support others. I really didn't expect her to come back. She's such good luck."
…
Under the gaze of so many people, Jiang Lili was not afraid at all when Xin Che held her hand. She just felt it was novel, just like filming a palace fighting drama. Even the lines of the characters were similar.
