Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 22

The two carriages gradually drifted away until they disappeared, Xie Qingxiang looked away: "My lord, it's getting late, let's set off too."

"En!" Ouyang Shaoxian agreed lightly, took the reins of the horse from the hand of the guards, turned on the horse, his movements were neat and unrestrained, with a flick of the reins, the fast horse neighed and galloped away.

"My son, you are going in the wrong direction. That is the way to the palace, this is the way out of the city." The guard reminded urgently, Xie Qingxiang smiled softly: "The son returned to the capital for more than half a month, how could he go wrong?" Lu, it seems that he wants to enter the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet, and will not leave the capital for the time being.

Taking the reins from another guard, Xie Qingxiang got on the horse and followed Ouyang Shaoxian closely: the flower viewing banquet with Ouyang Shaoxian must be very lively.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Murong Yu and Zhang Yufei stepped out one by one, looking up, dozens of luxurious carriages were lined up not far away, and the daughters and daughters of various mansions walked into the palace talking and laughing with each other .

There are quite a few official ladies who came to the banquet!
Murong Yu and Zhang Yufei walked side by side and were about to enter the palace when Murong Lin called anxiously and pitifully from behind: "Cousin Yufei, sister Yu'er!"

Looking sideways, she met Murong Lin's reddish eye sockets, pleading: "Can you bring Lin'er into the palace together? Lin'er is afraid here alone."

"My cousin is Miss Zhang's family, and my relationship with my cousin is not as good as you and Yu'er!" Zhang Yufei was afraid of getting bad luck, so she ran away without any trace, and threw Murong Lin to Murong Yu: "Isn't Sister Lin still alive?" Maids, how can you say that you are alone." Could it be that maids are not human.Murong Yu's tone was soft, but sarcastically "Sister Ruolin is really scared, let the maids accompany you back to the Marquis Mansion!" If you have the guts to come to the palace in a crushing carriage, you will be afraid of other things.

"Miss Murong!" The eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice sounded, and Murong Yu looked up. The celebrity Wei Gonggong who was beside the emperor came to them with two young eunuchs, and his scrutinizing eyes were on Murong Yu and Murong Lin. Scanning back and forth: "The eldest lady brought the second lady to the banquet?"

Eunuch Wei often went to various mansions to announce his decrees. Murong Yu and Murong Lin were no strangers to him: "Yes, my sister loves Lin'er very much. This time, my sister promised to bring Lin'er to the palace banquet."

Murong Lin was full of smiles, she didn't blush when lying, she reached out to grab Murong Yu's arm, so Murong Yu couldn't get rid of her and had to take her into the palace for a banquet.

Murong Yu quickly moved away from Murong Lin without a trace, she was in vain, and her face was a little ugly: "Sister Lin likes to joke, Eunuch Wei, don't mind, Sister Lin is on the street for something, and she is not familiar with the roads in the capital, so she took the wrong road. will come to the palace..."

Murong Lin's eyes were slightly red: "Sister, it's all Lin'er's fault. Although Lin'er's piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are better than her sister's, she hasn't practiced for a long time, and she has become unfamiliar with it. Lin'er just wants to go to the palace to learn more. I won't steal my sister's limelight..."

Murong Yu sneered silently: She is really eloquent, pretending to belittle herself, but making others think that she was jealous of her talent and appearance, and prevented her from entering the palace for a banquet: "It's not that my sister doesn't want my sister to enter the palace, it's just that the emperor ordered that all officials The daughter-in-law of the family came to the banquet, and the younger sister is a daughter-in-law. Entering the palace without the emperor's approval is a crime of deceiving the emperor." Even if you have a big grievance, it is not as big as the emperor's imperial decree.

Eunuch Wei nodded with a faint smile: "Miss Murong is right, but the imperial decree is hard to enforce, concubine daughters are not allowed to enter the palace for banquets."

Murong Lin's small face collapsed in an instant, and her sunken eyes were covered with a layer of gloom.

"My sister is going into the palace first. If my sister feels bored, you can walk around and go back to the mansion together after my sister leaves the palace!" Aunt Zhang put so much effort into making this beautiful dress for Murong Lin. What's the use of it.

Under the guidance of the court lady and Murong Lin's angry and jealous eyes, Murong Yu walked into the palace gracefully and slowly, and was led to the hall like other official daughters-in-law.

The curtain opened, and before Murong Yu had time to see who was sitting inside, a familiar smiling face appeared in front of her: "Sister, why did you arrive, my sister has been waiting here for a long time."

Murong Lin, wasn't she blocked outside the palace, why did she arrive at the hall before herself?

Murong Yu was shocked in his heart, but his face remained calm: "When did my sister arrive in the hall?" It's really a skill, to enter the palace for a banquet as a concubine, and to be so arrogant, my trip to the palace will never be boring , since someone is deliberately looking for death, how can he be unfulfilled.

"My sister just arrived not too long ago..." Murong Lin's tone was gentle and triumphant.

Murong Yu walked slowly into the curtain, the originally lively hall suddenly became silent, and all the ladies in the official family focused their strange eyes on her: Their eyes are so strange, could it be that Murong Lin said something to them?
"Sister, sit here!"

Murong Yu hid his doubts in his heart, and under Murong Lin's warm greeting, he sat down gracefully at the round table, and several official daughters at the same table whispered a few words, then turned their eyes to Murong Yu: "Listen to the second Miss Murong, the Eldest Miss On the way to the palace, the horse was startled, but luckily the prime minister's mansion Mr. Xie came to the rescue, and the danger was saved." The one who asked the question was Du Youruo, the daughter of Du Shangshu.

"That's right." This is the truth, and Murong Yu doesn't intend to hide it, let alone what happened on the streets of the capital.

In an instant, the eyes of the prostitutes of the official family looked at Murong Yu strangely, while Murong Lin chattered and described the thrill of the scene: "It was really a close call, the carriage was about to overturn, Mr. Xie flew forward to save my sister, didn't you See how anxious Mr. Xie looked when he saw that his sister was about to have an accident..."

Murong Lin only said that Cousin Xiang saved her at a critical moment, but she didn't say how she saved her. She intentionally made this heroic rescue very ambiguous, making others think that she had intimate contact with Cousin Xiang. Come on, I am no longer qualified to enter the palace for banquets, otherwise, I would be a veritable climber.

"Yu'er's horse was startled, the driver was thrown off the carriage, cousin Xiang and his friends happened to be passing by, so he helped to rein in the fast horse and rescued the next car." Murong Yu succinctly narrated the incident: "Qing Song is a man with both civil and military skills. Extraordinary, more willing to help others, Cousin Xiang is just one of them, even if other people’s horses are startled, he will step forward to help rein in the horses, and save a carload of people with just a little effort, why not do it.”
