Chapter 92 Entering the Palace (2)
After a while, she heard someone outside say in a flattering voice: "Boss He, you just finished your errands and returned to the palace?" She thought: It seems that you just took a shortcut to enter the palace when you walked to the market.

He Qingzhen said in a moderate voice by the sedan window: "Miss Ouyang, we are here, please get off the sedan chair."

Ouyang Jinhua got off the sedan chair, stepped on big square blue bricks, and was at a crossroad extending in all directions. What he saw were majestic and majestic ancient palaces, which were even bigger than the Forbidden City in his previous life. He was a little excited and looking forward to it.

He Qingzhen said slowly: "This time is when the officials go down early. The adults don't sit in the sedan chair and enter the palace on foot, so you have to walk to the empress's palace too."

"Yes." Ouyang Jinhua followed behind He Qingzhen and the four imperial guards and walked around the huge palace for an hour, covering a distance of thirteen to four miles.

When she was in Lishan Zhuangzi, she climbed the mountain every day, which was much easier than walking on flat roads in the palace. This distance is really not in my eyes.

If it were any other lady, even if she could walk down, she would still ask He Qingzhen, but she vaguely felt that it would be useless to ask, she might as well take the opportunity to see the scenery of the palace.

Along the way, they only met the patrolling imperial guards and eunuchs and maids, not a single member of the royal family.

When He Qingzhen spoke to Ouyang Jinhua again, he said with a little respect, "I just walked a long way to avoid the officials going down. The front is the empress's Penglai hall."

Ouyang Jinhua just nodded slightly with the attitude of saying too much but losing his mind.

When he was young, He Qingzhen took Ouyang Jinhua into the magnificent hall of Penglai Palace, and several beauties who were joking and laughing inside looked over one after another.

"My daughter, Ouyang Jinhua, has met several empresses." Ouyang Jinhua knelt down and kowtowed to the middle-aged beauty in royal blue palace dress sitting in front of her.

A soft-spoken woman's voice sounded, "You are more beautiful than your aunt when she was young, come here and let me have a good look."

Ouyang Jinhua raised his head slightly, seeing the middle-aged beauty in front of him, he got up and walked forward unhurriedly.

Wang Jieyu, who was the most beautiful in the hall, hadn't seen her niece for nearly half a year, worry flashed in her eyes, and she said kindly in her voice, "Jinhua, this is Concubine Shu."

Ouyang Jinhua looked quickly along the sound, she was a stunning young woman who was wearing a beige palace dress and no powder or daisy was allowed, but was still very attractive. The first place on the bottom left of the middle-aged beauty.

Concubine Zhang Shu found that Ouyang Jinhua was even more beautiful when she looked at her up close, she said with a smile: "I only have one son in my life and no daughter, and I am very envious when I see other families with daughters."

Ouyang Jinhua Waner looked at Concubine Zhang Shu's eyes and saw that she had an oval face, straight nose, thin and small lips, big eyes and high cheekbones, deep and dense wrinkles at the tail of the eyes. She couldn't hide her age either, she appeared to be more than ten years older than Wang Jieyu.

Wang Jieyu said with emotion: "All daughters are going to be married off."

"Your aunt and I are good friends. These days, I have enjoyed your aunt's favor and ate several fresh foods you cooked." Concubine Zhang Shu winked at Wang Jieyu like a little girl, and the latter just smiled.

Ouyang Jinhua asked: "Which food do you like the most?"

Concubine Zhang Shu blurted out: "Dengying Beef."

Ouyang Jinhua said softly: "So you like meat and spicy food."

"You are right. I like to eat meat. If the meat is spicy, my appetite will be much better than usual." Concubine Zhang Shu joked: "Why didn't you bring food into the palace today? I have been waiting for a long time."

Ouyang Jinhua lowered his eyebrows and replied, "I was in a hurry when I came here. I don't know what you like to eat, and I think the food in the imperial dining room is delicious, so I'm afraid that I will bring the food class to the door."

Concubine Zhang Shu asked Ouyang Jinhua a few questions about daily life, and then boasted to Wang Jieyu: "It's really nice. I want to keep her by my side."

Wang Jieyu looked around at the beautiful and dignified court ladies, and said with a smile: "Everyone around my sister is good, so there is no need for Jinhua to wait in front of me."

"I look at her every day, so I don't need to eat anymore." Concubine Zhang Shu looked at Ouyang Jinhua from side to side, and the more she looked, the more beautiful she looked, but such a beautiful woman was engaged in a marriage and her fiancé lost her morality, which really fulfilled the old saying that no one is perfect.

Sitting opposite Wang Jieyu, an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman in a regular purple court dress, had been watching everyone, and suddenly said, "You can eat with beauty."

Concubine Zhang Shu nodded, and Zhao ordered the woman to smile, "Yes. It's beautiful and delicious."

Wang Jieyu said: "Jinhua, this is Mrs. Zhang's wife, Minister of Rites, and the eldest sister-in-law of Concubine Shu. Just follow Juanjuan and call her Aunt Yu."

"Hello, Aunt Yu." Ouyang Jinhua bowed and saluted, thinking to himself: The former minister of rites, Hou Mu, belonged to the prince, and he has already been sent to prison.The current Minister of Rites, Mr. Zhang, is the eldest brother of Concubine Zhang Shu, who is also the third prince.The crown prince lost power, and the third prince took the opportunity to grab power in the court.I don't know what is the purpose of Concubine Zhang Shu calling me here today?
Madam Yu asked: "I heard that you are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but is it true?"

"I used to know a little bit before, but I had a serious illness last year, and I forgot after not practicing for a long time." Ouyang Jinhua saw that Mrs. Yu had a pair of sharp triangular eyes. She seemed very scheming and spoke with confidence. Is a very strong person.

Madam Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "That is not possible."

Ouyang Jinhua went all out, with a disappointed expression, nodded and said: "Not now."

Madam Yu asked, "Apart from cooking and eating, what else do you do?"

"I know how to punch. It's a showy kind. It looks powerful but it can't hurt anyone." Ouyang Jinhua Waner was not afraid of being teased by them.

Madam Yu was expressionless.

"This is really interesting." Concubine Zhang Shu smiled coquettishly, and said to several court ladies: "This is the first little girl who came to my place and said that she can punch."

"Ma'am, Miss Ouyang is a real person."

"Miss Ouyang thinks you are approachable and can speak freely in front of you."

A few court ladies smiled and talked to each other, and those who praised Ouyang Jinhua also praised Concubine Zhang Shu.
