C46 (1/2)

Ru Yi only found out after she had dispersed that her guests had already waited at the entrance of the Eastern Palace. What was going on? Don't say a word in advance for Mao.

She glanced at Tutor Qian and saw that he was only nodding towards her. He had no intention of calling her to study, so she could only bring Li Rou back to the Eastern Palace.

Although the princess was not here, the people of the Eastern Palace could not leave the guests at the door to wait.

Li Qing called Lin mama and a few palace maids, leading the various young mistresses all the way to the Tai Palace.

In these past few years, if there was anything that could be done to entertain the guests, they would be arranged to be arranged to the Mai Palace. The arrangement of the Mai Palace was not the low-key of the Imperial Hall; rather, it was filled with the majesty and luxury of the imperial family.

When Li Qing saw that Lin mama had taken over the guest, she turned around and went to receive the princess. It was likely that the princess was still unclear about the matter of the meeting with the guests today.

”The people who entered the palace were none other than the Duke of Cheng and his son, as well as his son's direct descendants. The direct descendants of Gao Zhen and Gao Qian, and the direct descendants of Gao Xuan and Gao Qianqian, as well as the Duke of Qi's son, Xiao Jia and his daughter Xiao Hong, and the direct descendants of Liang and Xu Xin and Xu Shiyan. ”Your Highness stayed at the imperial court for half an hour, and all the girls from the Three Palaces had arrived. This servant didn't dare to act on his own initiative, so he called for Lin mama to lead the other Miss Palaces to the Tai Hall.”

Ru Yi's footsteps did not stop as she entered the Eastern Palace. Since she had grown up, she did not need to carry the carriage, because first, this thing looked rather high-end and grand, but actually, it was better than walking quickly. Second, her royal father was in his prime and his heroic spirit had never slowed down by even a bit, so sometimes, he did not even need a sedan chair, not to mention her.

She lowered her head to look at her own clothes. Although she did not speak in the morning, her clothes were special and were not like ordinary clothes. She had already seen the Minister of the dynasty in them before, so it did not seem rude to receive guests in these clothes.

Li Rou quickly knelt down to help her tidy up the clothes.

Ru Yi stood at the entrance of Mai Palace. A gust of wind blew past, causing her clothes to flutter. Although her expression was plain, it gave off a feeling as though she was facing an abyss.

Several noble ladies stood up one after another.

Ru Yi revealed a sincere smile. ”Please take a seat.”

There were a total of five children. Uh, this year, Liang Guo's eldest daughter was 18 years old and they were already engaged, so she couldn't be considered young anymore. All that was left were the little girls around the same age as Ru Yi.

Ru Yi sat at the head of the table. All the daughters of the manors saluted her in succession. The green bamboo and red bamboo stood on either side of her, supporting her up.

”Ladies and gentlemen, you are older than me. Please do not stand on ceremony in the Eastern Palace.” When Ru Yi was five years old, she was a little curious about the true noble ladies, but she didn't like being someone like them, so she didn't ask Emperor Qing He for a meeting with these people before, and since the noble ladies didn't have imperial orders nor rank, they naturally couldn't enter the palace. To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the fact that they had entered the palace this time, Ru Yi would have met up with them on the streets, and no one would have known each other.

Ru Yi had already been taught by Emperor Qing He and the Imperial Tutor, so she knew that being too intimate and cold on their first meeting wasn't good. Just as she was about to invite them to the East Palace, she heard Li Rou report from outside, ”Your Highness, Feng Lin Feng wishes to see you.”

Feng Lin sneaked back, and Ru Yi knew about it, but it wasn't a good time for her, so she nodded. ”Call her in.”

Feng Lin didn't want Ru Yi to laugh as soon as she entered. She was wearing a crane-embroidered jacket with a luxurious aura. From the looks of it, she was here to support her.

After Feng Lin had seen the noble ladies, Ru Yi said to her, ”It's good that you've come. We're bored sitting here. Take a stroll around the East Palace with these big sisters. I'll change my clothes and go to the Hu Xin Pavilion.”

Feng Lin quickly responded with a smile and said, ”I heard that the lotus flowers have already bloomed there. Why don't we go in the boat and look around and see who can find it?”

Ru Yi looked at the others with a smile. ”The Heart Pavilion isn't far from here. Tell Feng Lin to lead the way. We'll only take a quarter of an hour. If any of you sisters need anything, just look for Green Bamboo.”

The young lady of the Liang family, Xu Xin, was the oldest. Last night, she was also instructed by the other two families to take care of the young ladies who entered the palace, so the moment Ru Yi spoke, she quickly replied, ”Many thanks, Your Highness.”

Emperor Qing He smiled as he said to the Duke of Cheng, ”Looking at the children, I feel that we are all old.”

Duke Cheng looked around, ”Your Majesty, your subject has aged, but Your Majesty and Duke Liang are still young.”

Xu Donghao was around the same age as Emperor Qing, but he didn't have a grandson yet. Hearing Duke Cheng's words, he nodded and said, ”That's right, you have to have a grandson to dare say that you're old.”

”Did Gao Kaiding and Xiao Jia Dingdang get married?” As soon as the words of Emperor Qinghu left his mouth, the Duke of Cheng and the Minister of Qi's hearts began to beat once more.

Seeing that his father did not say anything, Gao Rui hurriedly replied, ”Reporting to Your Majesty, we are not engaged yet.” In reality, his family was already searching for a wife for him, but Gao Rui found it hard to say these words.

Emperor Qing He nodded. ”Such a good child, and also the residence of the Duke of Guo's estate … there must be a lot of families fighting for him, right? When the marriage ceremony is over, you have to let me know. I haven't participated in a joyous event in a long time, so I brought my daughter to get a cup of wine as well.” This time, Cheng Guoguo led his children and grandchildren to kneel down in gratitude.

Xiao Jing cursed at the old fox Gao Su before replying, ”Your Majesty, Xiao Jia has already made a small decision.”
