Chapter 96: Entering the Palace for the First Time

On the same day, Zhao Yue received the news of the summoning in the palace. There were also several old women in the palace and clerks who taught etiquette in the Ministry of Rites.

There are many rules to follow when you enter the palace to meet.

For example, some etiquette, some title, ritual posture, where can you go in the palace and where can you not go...

These are what these old women in the palace and clerks of the Ministry of Rites want Zhao Yue to understand.

So...

For three consecutive days, Zhao Yue was tortured by these people.

Finally they met their request and could enter the palace to meet.

Zhao Yue was dressed in a decent costume and boarded the carriage prepared by the inner court. He followed Qingxi all the way, and finally walked onto the Suzaku Avenue and headed towards Jiankang Palace.

This entry into the palace is also a marriage for Zhao Yue. The scene along the way is very novel.

Speaking of which, Zhao Yue himself is quite a home. He stays at home and doesn't go out much. In this era, it has been several months. As a result, he has never left Qingxi Manor except for participating in banquets or going hunting activities.

To some extent, this is naturally a good thing, but by this era, it is definitely not a good thing.

Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.

It is true that there is a golden house in the book, but if you are only addicted to the book, you will inevitably end up talking to Zhao Kuo on paper.

Entering Jiankang City from Xiye Gate, you will pass by the important places of the government office with countless steps.

For example, the Weiwei Mansion, which is in charge of the palace guards, the left and right guard generals' houses, and then some more, the Zhongshu Menxia Province, the Zhongshu Provincial, the Junshu Provincial, the Junshu Provincial, the Junshu Provincial, the Secret Pavilion, the Yongfu Provincial, and the Tai Provincial will come into view.

Even though Zhao Yue had seen the world, he could not help but be shocked by the Jiankang Palace.

Big, too big!

The layout of Jiankang Palace City is more neat than other palace cities, and the palace walls have three internal and external levels. The outer walls are arranged with general institutions and garrisons in the palace. At this time, the dormitory of the central institutions is also built here.

The central government office is arranged inside the second palace wall. The court and monks' province are still on the east side, with a gate to the south and out of the palace. On the west side are the Secretariat, Menxia Province, Secret Pavilion (Royal Library) and Yongfu Province where the prince lives.

The third wall is the real palace. The front is the dynasty area, the main hall Taiji Hall and the east hall and the west hall alongside it; the back is the bedroom area, the front is the imperial sleep-style Qian Hall, also known as Zhongzhai, and the back is the back hall Xianyang Hall, each with a group of palace courtyards, and the two groups are opposite each other, and wing halls are built on both sides, forming a parallel layout of three halls similar to the Taiji Hall.

Tai Chi, Shi Qian, Xianyang Hall and the hall gate south of Tai Chi Hall, and the main gate of the palace together form the central axis of the entire palace. To the north of the bedroom is the inner garden Hualin Garden.

Such magnificent and luxurious palaces are still not famous among the palaces of all dynasties in China.

It can be seen that this ancient ruler would enjoy it.

Zhao Yue thought the carriage would take him to Xianyang Palace, but he didn't expect that the carriage would take him to the Hualin Garden, Neiyuan, without thinking.

It seems that I don’t want to see him in Xianyang Palace.

I got off the carriage in front of the Hualin Garden in Neiyuan, and two palace maids had been waiting here for a long time.

Being taken by this palace maid, Zhao Yue slowly entered the Hualin Garden in the inner garden.

It's a good scenery!

The colorful, elegant and green are covered with greenery, the big banyan covers the sky, the small banyan covers the sun, the ginkgo biloba penetrates the sky, and the weeping willows face the lake. There are cold plums in winter, the green bamboos welcome the snow, the crabapple blossoms in spring, and the plum blossoms compete for beauty. Various scenery is scattered, and strange flowers and plants are planted everywhere. Bees and butterflies are shuttled through, making people intoxicated by winding paths.

After walking for about half a quarter of an hour, I finally saw a pavilion in the garden.

This building is called Chaori Tower, which has two floors and covers a wide area. After following the palace maids into Chaori Tower, Zhao Yue also met the Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun and the Sui'an County Lord Sima Xingnan.

"Boy pays homage to the Queen Mother."

According to the etiquette taught a few days ago, Zhao Yue changed his name to Caomin at this time.

but...

So what?

I now call myself a boy, what can Empress Dowager Yu Wenjun say?

"Get up!"

Yu Wenjun is not better than this kind of etiquette.

The reason why Sima Xingnan, the lord of Sui'an County, was inseparable from her that Yu Wenjun was able to develop her current personality.

Yu Wenjun was wearing a light white palace outfit, but the elegant part had a bit of a superb temperament. The wide skirt was winding behind her, elegant and luxurious. The black hair like black jade was simply tied with a flying fairy bun, and a few plump and round pearls were randomly embellished between her hair, making the dark cloud-like hair look softer, brighter and more moist.

The smooth and fair face is full of cold and handsomeness; under the long and drooping eyelashes, deep eyes flashing like black crystals, high noses, beautiful lips, the temperament exudes so complex, like a mixture of various temperaments, all showing nobility and elegance, and its own unique ethereality and handsomeness!

What a beauty!

Wait a moment...

What am I thinking?

Zhao Yue quickly took back his thoughts.

He knelt on the deer-skin cushion, and soon a palace maid brought wine and delicacies.

"I heard that Langjun went to Wuyi Lane a few days ago and met Situ, but?"

Are you going to be accused?

Zhao Yue was not nervous at all, and his face was decorated with a very relaxed smile.

"This is indeed the case."

"I heard that Situ wants to marry Wang's daughter to you, is there any such thing?"

"This is indeed the case."

Sima Xingnan saw Zhao Yue's appearance, his nose felt sore, he snorted coldly, and said:

"I heard that the Wang girl looks more fairy-like. When you see them, your soul will be hooked away. I am afraid that I will directly agree to marry the Wang girl."

Why is the jealousy smell so strong in this statement?

Zhao Yue joked: "The Wang girl is as beautiful as a fairy, and not only as beautiful as a fairy, but also considerate everyone. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even if they want them to do whatever they want, they will do. It is a beautiful thing to get along with them."

"you!"

Sima Xingnan was furious and immediately rushed forward to join Zhao Yue to conduct a full martial arts move.

"Hahaha, please don't bother with the county lord. Even if they are like fairies, they are not as good as the county lord in front of me, otherwise... I won't come to see you today."

"Why are you here to see me? You are here to pay homage to your mother. I'm so embarrassed, you..."

Sima Xingnan didn't expect Zhao Yue to play hard to get, and his little face turned red in an instant, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

Yu Wenjun looked at his daughter and his prospective son-in-law on the side and said something to me. The offensive and defensive momentum was very obvious.

Although her daughter looks strong, she is no match for the Zhao family’s husband at all. She defeated her in just a few words.

"There is indeed an important thing to summon you today. The first thing is your marriage with the county lord, and the second thing is a major task for the court and the people of the world!"

These two things...

Actually, I don’t need to say anything, I know it all.

Zhao Yue kept smiling and looked at Yu Wenjun with a calm face.
