C114 (1/2)

The palanquin stopped outside the east gate, there was an attendant waiting outside. Upon seeing the large palanquin, he immediately came over, ”This servant pays his respects to His Highness First Princess.”

The Old Ancestor Madame Chen who was resting with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes, as she looked at the cashmere blanket that was hung in front of the carriage and blocked the cold wind.

Mama Wu who was following the whole time saw the man and frowned, he then walked up quickly and raised his voice, ”So it's Eunuch He, what wind blew you here today?”

When Eunuch He saw Mama Wu, his triangular eyes slightly narrowed, revealing yellow teeth. His sharp voice carried a smile as he said, ”Aunt Wu, we are here on behalf of the Emperor to welcome Your Highness. The Green Glaze Soft Palanquin has already been prepared.

What was going on? Mama Wu's smile did not waver, the expression in her eyes had already darkened. When First Princess entered the palace, she had always been sitting in a large sedan chair and had never obstructed it before. Why did the Emperor …

Jin Lan sat upright with his face down. On the surface, he looked like he didn't hear anything, but in reality, he had been listening attentively to everything. Mama Wu's purposely raised voice and the words spoken by Eunuch He didn't fall out of his ears at all. However, in doing so, he had missed the old ancestor's uncertain expression.

After a moment, Madame Chen turned her head to look at Jin Lan, ”Girl Lan, let's change sedans.”

”Yes.” Jin Lan nodded obediently and followed Madame Chen out of the warm sedan.

In the blink of an eye, a whistling cold wind brushed past her face. She couldn't help but close her eyes before slowly opening them. The towering imperial palace immediately entered her field of vision.

The tall brick walls, with their eaves and arches, looked simple and dignified, and the red walls were covered with patches of bright yellow glazed tiles, which shone brightly in the warm winter sun, a rare sight. Looking from afar, the hall was a sight to behold. It was magnificent and majestic with a majestic aura. Two imperial guards holding long spears stood on either side of the east gate. They stood like pine trees and didn't even glance at each other.

Even though it was clearly such a dazzling splendor and the imposing might of the Nine Layer Palace, a cold and merciless feeling was born in Jin Lan's heart.

This was not the first time she had entered the palace. In her previous life, the Old Ancestor had also brought her, Ye Jinyan and Ye Jinyu to the palace to congratulate the empress dowager on her birthday. And this time, when I entered the palace early, I...

Does this mean that the Emperor has some sort of ulterior motive towards this aunt, and even towards Ye Family? The reason why the Old Ancestor was so anxious to marry the princes was also because of the Emperor's thoughts, right?

Then, according to the time he had entered the palace for the first time in his previous life, two years later the old ancestor regained the trust of the emperor.

Jin Lan followed behind the Madame Chen, quickly pondering over the clues he had grasped.

Qing You Soft Palanquin was a palanquin that was commonly used by the palanquin to allow people to travel. Although it was not comparable to Ye Family's big treasured palanquin, it was specially prepared for Jin Lan and the Madame Chen. It was much more spacious than a normal Soft Palanquin, with a layer of soft rabbit hair covering the inside. A small, exquisite, green glaze tripod furnace was placed in the corner near the sedan chair door, in particular, it was in the middle of burning silverfrost, thus making the inside of the Soft Palanquin much warmer.

The Eunuch He led the palanquin and passed through, walking towards the Emperor's current recovery Ganquan Hall.

Reaching the Ganquan Hall, the moment he got off the palanquin, he saw a bunch of palace maids standing in the courtyard, and upon seeing them enter, they all kneeled down and saluted.

Madame Chen took a quick glance before replying, ”Stand up.”

Only then did the palace attendants stand up and retreat to the side, lowering their heads with chests in their hands, their faces full of respect.

The Eunuch He welcomed the Madame Chen and Jin Lan to the side hall, and also had the palace maids serve tea. Only then did he laugh and said, ”The emperor asks the First Princess to wait for a moment. The assistant minister of the government is currently reporting to the emperor in the hall.”

”Thank you, Eunuch He.” Madame Chen said in a low voice, her face was expressionless, it was hard to tell if she was happy or angry.

Jin Lan shot a glance at her before standing quietly to the side.

Eunuch He was flattered and quickly bowed: ”This servant doesn't dare.”

Madame Chen glanced at Eunuch He's flattering smile. His eyes flashed and a trace of cold ridicule flashed in his eyes. ”Eunuch He is the most popular person beside the Emperor, and also the palace's general director. Naturally, she deserves this old one's thanks.”

The words of the Madame Chen caused the Eunuch He to be somewhat embarrassed, but she did not dare to reply, and waited with a smile on her face.

”Girl Lan.” Madame Chen saw that he understood the situation, and turned to look at Jin Lan amiably, ”What are you standing there for? Come and sit. ”

Jin Lan quickly took a glance at the Eunuch He, and after a moment of hesitation, he slowly stepped forward and sat on the Embroidered Pellet that the palace maid brought.

Madame Chen gave her a calm look, and leisurely picked up the sweet white porcelain glaze and color peach tea cup. After taking a sip, he slowly asked, ”Eunuch He, has the Emperor's dragon body been well recently?”

Eunuch He was just left at the side, feeling a bit uneasy. After all, in terms of seniority, Madame Chen was the emperor's aunt, he couldn't afford to offend her. When she heard Madame Chen's voice, she immediately raised her head and laughed, ”Reporting to First Princess, Your Majesty's body has become better and your appetite has improved. Last night, you even specially got up to use a bowl of broth.”

”Nonsense!” Madame Chen placed the tea cup on the square table with a heavy weight. She shouted, ”The Emperor has been sick for a long time, so it is extremely important for him to rest at night.

Eunuch He did not expect Madame Chen to make a move so easily. He was shocked in his heart, ”This servant deserves to die!”

Madame Chen snorted coldly. She still wanted to say something, but a fat servant ran over and quickly greeted him, ”Greetings to First Princess Your Highness, His Majesty asks First Princess to move to the main hall.” He then bowed and extended her hand, ”Your Highness, please follow me.”
