C90 Entering the Palace

Shaya collapsed in the armchair, her right foot on her left leg undisciplined. The folding fan in her hand lightly slapped her palm, and the corners of her mouth curled up. Her eyes were filled with pride. "A few days ago, the Imperial Uncle pulled me out of the palace to accompany him on a tour of the Ino Silver Tower Jade Store. In the end, I only picked this one. There was no other way. This Imperial Palace's judgment was too picky. Sea Sun Lake was also recommended by Imperial Uncle. However, I did not expect that the person Imperial Uncle is in love with is really you. So did Sister Yin agree to be with Imperial Uncle?"

Yunshu shook her head and also casually picked a seat not far away and sat down. "I don't know how to respond to him. Furthermore, I promised to help the princess before. "

"That's true. If Sister Yin wants to marry the Imperial Uncle, then wouldn't Bengong lose his right-hand man? Let's go back to the main topic. Three days later is the Ten Thousand Year Festival, and there will be a competition of one thousand people in the Palace that day. I made a bet with my Imperial Father. If the one who wins the competition is someone from my Palace... Then my father will have to order the women to participate in the Imperial Examinations three years later just like the men. The daughters of the various prefectures will also be able to enter the Imperial Examinations. " As she spoke, Xiao Ya took out a set of palace maids' clothes and some of the palace's hair accessories from her bag.

"So the Princess plans to let me participate as well."

Xiao Ya smiles as she raises her brows, "It is just that I will have to make Elder Sister Yin become a palace maid for a few days. After the competition ends, Bengong will find an excuse to get Elder Sister Yin out of the palace."

Yun Zhu nodded and took her clothes to the back of the screen to change as she asked, "What kind of competition is it?"

"Actually, it is a competition of stamina, speed and accuracy. Moreover, every year, palace maids and eunuchs compete separately, so there is no need to worry about encountering very powerful opponents."

"That should be fine. If it is a competition of musical instruments, chess, painting, and so on and so forth, I will definitely mess it up."

Xiao Ya smiles, "If it is a competition of these, Bengong will not look for Elder Sister Yin then."

When she saw Yunshu, who had changed her clothes, walk out from behind the screen, she clapped her hands. One. A beautiful woman in a purple pink dress, who was about the same size as Yunshu, pushed open the door of the private room and walked in. She placed the oil-paper bag on the small table beside Xiao Ya. "Princess, the peach cakes from the Jade Leaf Workshop. This servant almost caused those people who were fighting to buy pastries to be squashed."

"Didn't you come back safe and sound? Our Qing He is the best." Xiao Ya smiled and put down the fan. She took out a piece and bit it. Then she ordered, "Qing He, you go and teach the lady how to comb the hairstyle of the palace."

"Yes." Qing He obediently agreed and brought Yunshu to the dressing table.

After Xiao Ya finished off a piece of peach blossom cake, she took the other piece and handed it to Yunshu.

After Yunshu thanked her, she suddenly thought of something. "Oh right, has the princess seen the top scorer of the new subject?"

"The Newcomer Ranking... That somewhat thin scholar, right? His voice is a bit strange. Bengong only met it once on the day of the Inheritance Hall. What's wrong?"

"Perhaps Qu Chu can be used by the princess."

"How is this person?"

"I only had contact with him in yesterday's Baluo Ball Competition. I only know that this person's heart is as fine as dust, and he is cautious when handling matters. He is good at enduring patiently. "

"Is this what you like about him?"

Yunshu thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, there is another key reason. It is just that it concerns other people's private matters. It's not convenient for me to mention it, but I want the Princess to personally go and meet him. Qu Chu might be willing to be ordered around by the Princess because of a major matter. "

"Since Sister Yin has already said so, then I'll go look for the new Roll Champion another day." As she spoke, Xiao Ya stuffed another piece of peach wood into her mouth.

At this time, the hairstyle on Yun Zhu's head was also combed.

Xiao Ya's gaze drifted between her and Qing He several times and then said, "As expected, it's still not quite the same." As she spoke, she pulled out the embroidered handkerchief at Qing He's waist and covered the lower half of Yunshu's face.

"It's much more like this. Qing He, from now on, This Palace will give you a vacation. After the Ten Thousand Year Festival ends, you can return to the Palace."

Qing He was overjoyed and quickly thanked Xiao Ya before leaving.

Only then did Yunshu understand why Xiao Ya would bring a palace maid with a similar figure to her out. It turned out that she wanted her to borrow her identity. This way, it would indeed be more convenient, just that she had to be careful.

Before Xiao Ya walked out of the room, she seemed to have thought of something and turned around. "If someone asks why you need to cover your face, just say that you accidentally got burned when you followed me out of the Palace. If that person doesn't believe, it will depend on your face. You can use Bengong to suppress him. In the Palace, there aren't many people who dare to go against Bengong. "

Yunshu nodded.

"Let's go for a stroll now and let Sister Yin adapt to Qinghe's identity. Otherwise, you'll expose yourself after entering." As she spoke, Xiao Ya stepped out of the room.

Along the way, Xiao Ya bought all sorts of strange things from the roadside stalls and told her about Qing He. When it was almost dusk, she looked at the sky with some reluctance and brought Yunshu to the palace gates.

The guards saw Xiao Ya take out the Yongle Palace token and let her pass. They did not interrogate the palace maid behind her who covered her face.

The towering tall building was resplendent and resplendent, making people involuntarily want to submit and worship it. Yun Zhu did not dare to look too much and only slightly lowered her head to follow behind Xiao Ya. Fortunately, they did not encounter any concubines or emperors along the way. Only the palace maids who bowed to Xiao Ya.

After Xiao Ya walked into the Yongle Palace, the palace maids immediately stopped what they were doing and moved to the side of the road to bow. She waved her hand to signal them to stand up and enter the Guangyang Palace. She also called the palace maids in the palace to prepare hot water for bathing.

Yun Zhu placed the things that she had been carrying for almost a day on the table, "Princess, how should we deal with these things?"

Xiao Ya was stunned for a moment before turning her head to look at the large pile on the table. "I forgot about these things."

"Little Qiuzi." She called out to the outside of the hall. A young eunuch with a mole on his forehead and a fair appearance walked in with his waist slightly bowed. "What orders do you have, Princess?"

"Send these things to the children in the next room and distribute them."

Little Qiuzi responded and carried the pile of things out.

Yunshu did not expect that Xiao Ya did not buy anything for her after shopping all day. She could not help but be a little surprised. She was clearly still a child.

"Qinghe, come in and take a bath for Bengong." After saying that, Xiao Ya took the lead to circle around the inner hall behind the screen.

When Yunshu entered, she had just dismissed the palace staff who had prepared hot water inside. After the person left, she took off her clothes and stepped into the bathtub. Yunshu went over to help wipe her back.

"During this period of time, Bengong has called for the commander to help the palace's people train. Every day at dawn, they leave from the palace to Jingshan. Come back at noon. Tomorrow, you can go with them."

"Okay."

After serving Xiao Ya and bathing, she followed the route that Xiao Ya had told her about before and went to Qing He's room. Perhaps it was because she had changed to a new place, but she didn't sleep well all night. In a moment, she dreamt of the scene of Pei Hongqing turning around and leaving, and then she dreamt of Xiao Heng giving her the Haitang Hairpin. Finally, Xiao Heng smiled and smiled. His expression became gloomy. "If you lose this king's gift again, this king will kill you with my own hands." It scared her awake.

She subconsciously took out the Haitang hairpin that she had put under her pillow when she went to bed to rest. After confirming that it was completely intact, she let out a sigh of relief. It was probably because she had lied to Xiao Heng about keeping the perfume and had seen his cruel side many times that she had that kind of dream. But why did she dream about Pei Hongqing... She had clearly not thought of him for such a long time. Could it be that the drunk incident yesterday made her subconsciously think of the time when she was drunk in the military camp? Was that why she thought of him...

Yunshu took a few deep breaths and patted her face, forcing herself to stop thinking about it. It was better to use the remaining time to sleep well. It was not a joke to use up half of her daytime stamina next.
