"You're getting excited now. Didn't you send someone to monitor me? Why didn't you ask someone to warn me?"
"Are you crazy? You want me to monitor you near your home? By the time I came back to report the letter, you two had finished talking."
Jiang Ling sat next to Jiang Zhuo angrily, and their expressions were exactly the same.
The cold wind blew all night long. It seemed to carry icy particles that hurt people's faces.
The next day, the sky was still dark, without even a ray of light from the dawn, but Qingge hurried to Chen Qing's door, knocked gently, and woke Chen Qing up from his sleep.
Shen Qing sat up sleepily, and Qingge swiftly brought warm water to cleanse Shen Qing's face and hands, then took out various exquisite jewelry and cosmetics from the dressing box.
"I don't want to go." Shen Qing was dazed, leaning on Qingge like a boneless person.
"Go, Miss, relax." Qingge gently combed Shen Qing's long hair. "The hunting ground is quite far, so we have to set off early. The general has to accompany His Majesty, so he must arrive at the palace gate half an hour in advance."
"Um……"
"I know you like to sleep, so I ordered some tea and snacks to be prepared, so you can skip breakfast."
"Qingge, how can I live without you!"
Qingge chuckled and pinned Shen Qing's hair.
"Miss, the general is waiting at the gate of the mansion." A little maid was already urging her outside the door.
Qingge carefully helped Shen Qing to stand up, her movements gentle. Then, she picked up a soft cloak beside her, gently unfolded it, and carefully wrapped it around Shen Qing, tying the cloak's belt neatly and firmly.
Afterwards, Qingge put the hat on Shen Qing to ensure that the package was airtight.
After doing all this, Qingge did not forget to wrap the hand warmer with flannel, held it in both hands, and carefully put it into Shen Qing's hands, and reminded her: "Miss, you must hold this hand warmer well, don't freeze yourself."
"I understand, little housekeeper."
Shen Qing stepped out of the door, and the cool breeze brushed across his cheeks. It was really cold.
When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Cheng Xue was instructing Shen Jianshan. When he saw her coming, they kept a distance from each other.
"Qingqing, now you're here, are you feeling cold?" Shen Jianshan asked with concern.
Shen Qing bowed his head and saluted.
"It's not cold, father."
"Okay, let's go."
Cheng Xue just looked at Shen Qing with complicated eyes without saying a word, until she got on the carriage and the convoy drove away, and then she suddenly loosened her hand that was tightly holding the handkerchief.
"Madam, it's cold. Let me help you go back to the house." Qiu Lu saw that Cheng Xue was in a low mood and supported her arm.
Chen Qing and Cheng Xue have very similar temperaments. They are both stubborn and like a bomb, ready to explode at the slightest touch.
Alas, I don’t know who will give in first between these two people.
Shen Qing leaned against the carriage, holding a small heater in his hands, drowsy.
After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped. Shen Qing lifted the curtain and looked out. In front of the carriage was the imperial palace.
From afar, the imperial palace in the darkness looked like a majestic giant beast squatting on the earth.
The vermilion palace walls tower into the clouds and stretch endlessly, like an indestructible barrier, separating the inside and outside of the palace into two worlds.
The glazed tiles on the palace walls resemble dragon scales, highlighting the royal majesty and dignity. The exquisitely shaped eaves and brackets resemble birds spreading their wings, lively and solemn.
No wonder that high position is so tempting. If it were her, she would wake up laughing in her dreams just by hearing the thought of owning this entire palace.
Shen Jianshan dismounted and walked towards her carriage.
"My dear, the emperor's carriage is coming soon. Please get out and greet him with me."
Shen Qing nodded, put down the hand warmer, and got out of the carriage.
Shen Jianshan reached up to gather Shen Qing's cloak and patted her shoulder.
"If His Majesty asks you questions, don't be afraid, I'm here."
Shen Qing smiled and nodded.
In the distance, the palace gate opened, and the long team, like a winding dragon, slowly moved out.
The golden-armored guards held spears and marched in unison, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. The most eye-catching thing was the carriage in the middle.
The emperor's imperial carriage was pulled by eight strong and pure white horses. The carriage was inlaid with gold, silver and jewels, and was extremely gorgeous.
No wonder, no wonder the emperor is called the Son of Heaven.
After the emperor came the carriages of the crown prince and the other accompanying princes.
Shen Jianshan quickly knelt on one knee, and Shen Qing also knelt obediently behind him. Fortunately, Qingge was prepared and had a knee pad for her.
"Your Majesty, I, Shen Jianshan, pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and to the Empress."
Queen, isn’t that Murong Zhi’s mother?
"My dear minister, please stand up." The emperor's majestic voice rang out from the carriage. "Behind you, my dear minister, is my newly appointed Princess Huayue, your precious daughter?"
"That's right, Qingqing." Shen Jianshan turned around and called out Shen Qing.
"Your humble servant, Ms. Shen, pays homage to His Majesty and the Empress."
"Well, it's true that a tiger father has a dog daughter. I heard Jiang Zhuo talk about you with such admiration."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise."
Queen Shangguan Xi turned her head to look at Shen Qing, and seeing her dignified demeanor and unperturbed appearance, she nodded with satisfaction.
"This girl is very beautiful and charming. I like her very much. You can come to Fengyi Palace often to talk with me in the future."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Whoever wants to go can go.
"Okay, let's go."
The emperor raised his hand slightly, and the eunuch beside him shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please rise!"
Shen Jianshan stood up and mounted his horse, accompanying the emperor.
Shen Qing glanced back casually and saw Rong Qing and Rong Xuan. Her eyes flashed and she turned around and got on the carriage.
When I heard Shangguan Xi's voice just now, it was quite majestic.
