Chapter 152 Entering the Palace 1
Since we were riding in a carriage, we deliberately took the official road, which was quite a detour. By the time we arrived at the palace gate, more than half an hour had passed.
The imperial palace starts with a palace gate, then a long passage. After walking through it, you will pass through an inner door. Then there is the main hall, where court is usually held. The side halls on both sides are where banquets are held. Behind it is the imperial study, where the emperor works, and behind those are the residences of Your Majesty and his successors.
Su Yueyao got off the carriage and looked at the tall palace gate in front of her and the rows of imperial guards beside it. What Su Yueyao was thinking at this moment was how far the road leading to the inner gate was. The sun was already rising slowly, so she wouldn't have to walk for a long time.
Su Yueyao just stepped to the palace gate and was about to hand the painter's card to the imperial guard in front of her.
"Lady Su, His Majesty knows that you will come to the palace to express your gratitude today, so he specially ordered me to wait here." Su Yueyao heard the voice and found out that it was the eunuch Fu Xin who came to pick her up in Fengdu.
"Hello, Eunuch Fuxin." Su Yueyao greeted with a smile when she saw an acquaintance.
"Miss Su, how are you? I'm here to show you the way." Fu Xin said with a smile.
Su Yueyao followed behind the eunuch Fuxin and walked inside.
But in the place that Su Yueyao didn’t see at the palace gate just now, Cui Yiyang was standing in the shadow, looking at her quietly.
"Deputy Commander, weren't you planning to say hello to Miss Su just now?" asked an aide-de-camp of the deputy commander.
"Stop talking too much. When did I ever plan to say hello?" Cui Yiyang glanced at the direction where Su Yueyao disappeared, turned around and left.
The adjutant followed Cui Yiyang inexplicably, feeling somewhat confused.
If he wasn't saying hello, why had he been standing there waiting for her?
It took Su Yueyao nearly half an hour to reach the inner gate. She was slightly out of breath at this time.
"Are you tired, Miss Su? There is a place to rest up ahead. Do you want to go and have a rest?" Fu Xin asked as he looked at Su Yueyao's face, which was slightly sweaty and she was panting.
"No need. Has His Majesty left the court?"
"Not yet. There is still half an hour before His Majesty leaves the court." Fu Xin said.
"Then let's go quickly! It's not appropriate to let His Majesty wait for me." Su Yueyao said.
"Okay, if Miss Su is really too tired, tell me."
"Thank you." Su Yueyao thanked.
"It's my duty, Miss Su, you don't have to be polite."
Seeing that Su Yueyao seemed a little tired and yet so polite, Fu Xin thought of taking her through the Imperial Garden, which would be closer to the Imperial Study, so he took the shorter route.
"The scenery here in Fuxin is quite beautiful." Su Yueyao said with a smile when she saw the pavilions and towers, especially the many blooming flowers in the garden and the pavilions, which were built very exquisitely.
"This is the Imperial Garden, of course the scenery is beautiful." Fu Xin replied.
"No wonder! We are going to the Imperial Study, so why are we going through the Imperial Garden?" Su Yueyao asked immediately.
The three words "Imperial Garden" are a place where things often happen in palace fighting dramas! But when she heard these three words, she felt something was wrong!
"This road goes straight through and is the closest to the Imperial Study. Don't worry, my lady. The Imperial Gardens here are mostly places where His Majesty comes to relax when he is tired. Although it is connected to the Queen's Imperial Garden, it is far away and you have to cross the bridge over there to get there." Fu Xin explained with a smile.
"Oh, all right."
Su Yueyao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this. She only came to express her gratitude and did not want to meet His Majesty's successors.
The two of them successfully arrived at the door of the imperial study, and when they arrived, they found several people standing at the door.
Fu Xin led Su Yueyao to the door and found a man in gorgeous clothes standing among the people. Su Yueyao realized that these were his majesty's descendants, so she immediately lowered her head and stopped looking around.
"I greet Lord Yang." Fu Xin immediately knelt down and saluted when he saw him.
Su Yueyao bowed and said, "Meet Mr. Yang."
The servant behind Yang Cejun saw that Su Yueyao only bowed but did not kneel and directly scolded: "Who are you? Why don't you kneel when you see Cejun?"
Fu Xin heard this and immediately said, "Please forgive me, Lord Yang. This is Lady Su, the painter from Yi County. She has come to the palace today to express her gratitude to Your Majesty."
"Oh, you are Su Yueyao, the wife of my half-brother?" Yang Cejun immediately looked at her and asked when he heard Fu Xin's words.
But Su Yueyao didn't let Lady Su exempt herself from the formalities. She kept bowing and taking a deep breath. She was really unlucky! She ran into him as soon as she entered the palace!
"Yes, Mr. Yang, I am Yang Qianxun's wife, Su Yueyao." After Su Yueyao introduced herself, she found that there was no movement at all. After a while, Su Yueyao felt her legs shaking. This man was thinking of tormenting her!
"Excuse me, Mr. Yang, can I stand up?" Su Yueyao asked directly.
"How dare you! Even if you are a female painter, how can you be so rude? Yang Cejun is a third-rank official." Yang Cejun's servant said.
Su Yueyao sighed and her legs trembled even more violently. She really didn't want to stay in this palace for a moment.
Forget it, if he won't let you go, you don't have to endure it anymore. Su Yueyao thought about what to do next and just fell down.
The moment Fu Xin saw Su Yueyao fall, his heart skipped a beat.
What was Su Nujun going to do? She was going to attack Yang Cejun. It was actually very unwise for Yang Cejun to make things difficult for Su Yueyao at this time. After all, his sister's incident had just happened and she was almost punished.
Looking at the time, His Majesty was about to come back. If His Majesty saw this scene, he suddenly looked forward to how Lady Su would behave next...
