Love In The Palace's
Episode 21
The next morning the four servants of Xiao Lie were busy preparing the needs of the xiao lie to go to the palace
While Xiao Lie himself just stared at them all off guard
He will only visit, not attend a party
" Jie Jie, don't fight let me choose" Xiao Lie said, stopping his jie jies who were arguing fiercely
" Feng yan jie jie please prepare the jewelry that I asked for yesterday "
Feng Yan also prepared two new jewelry models that his lady made
This jewelry is planned to be given to the empress and princess Xuan
No one would even be able to have this model because the special xiao lie made it a set of each model
Xiao Lie walked towards his wardrobe
Everything looks beautiful and different from women's clothing models in general
Because they do not want to be too excessive and striking Xiao lie choose plain white hanfu den in combination with faded blue exterior
For shoes, Xiao Lie currently also has his own shoe store and of course all of them use the models he makes
Xiao Lie chose the white flat shoes
The jewelry of the xiao lie only favors long earrings with dewdrop shaped ends and one blue graded white ring
for his hairdo, he tied his hair half with a blue ribbon and was adorned with a chain of white gold chains dangling in his long hair
After finishing dressing herself xiao lie turned her body and faced her jie jie
" How's jie jie ?" ask xiao lie
" Perfect miss, but do not forget the veil miss" said Feng yan as he tied the white veil to her
After everything was ready Xiao Lie rushed off to the palace accompanied by Feng ran
In the palace you can't bring a personal bodyguard because that xiao lie just go with Feng ran
The distance between the Xiao lie residence and the palace took about an hour and a half if using a horse carriage
Therefore xiao Lie brought his sketchbook to kill time as well as work
Just passing through the city Feng ran accidentally saw his lady cousin who was holding hands with a man and followed by a group of servants and bodyguards
" Miss, it looks like it's Miss Jin Hua" Feng ran said as he opened the window curtain wider
Xiao Lie stopped his activities and saw what Feng ran showed
" You're right, who's the guy that jie jie hooked up to?Looks like he's from the nobility"
" I don't know miss, but judging from her appearance it looks like the man is a noble
Do I need to ask Mr Cheng lan?"
Xiao lie nodded, he was quite curious about the man that his cousin was fond of
" Mister Cheng lan.." call Feng ran to Cheng lan who was riding a horse in front of her lady's carriage.
Cheng Lan stopped and turned his horse back
" What's the matter Miss Feng ran, does little lady need anything?" ask Cheng lan
Xiao lie pouted hearing Xuan Yi's subordinates continue to call her little miss
Though he's grown up
" Do you know that man?" feng Ran asked as he pointed at Jin Hua and the man he was holding
Cheng lan observed the person that Feng ran pointed at for a while
" He's the young master of both trade ministers" miss"
" Oh well, thank you sir"
Feng Ran closed the curtains and faced the lady again
" Don't you think a few months ago the guy's dad was trying to get you to work with the lady?"
Xiao lie nodded and smiled faintly
" Well, you're right, it looks like my cousin is intent on finding an ally against me"
" Do I need to clean up, miss?"
A little while later Xiao Lie arrived at the palace, he was then directed to the east hall
Where the crown prince lives
The residences in the Neverland palace were divided into four
the western palace where the emperor and empress lived
the eastern palace where the crown prince lived
the southern palace where the concubines and their daughter's sons
the Northern Palace was a meeting place
While the servants and soldiers lived in the side palace and the back palace
Xiao Lie walked leisurely following Cheng lan
He did not care about the waiter who was gossiping when he saw it
" Did your trip please Lilie ?" greet Xuan Yi as soon as Xiao lie enters the east palace gate
" Unfortunately, I have never traveled this far Gege, so now it feels like my body is a bit sore" Xiao Lie complained
Xuan Yi who heard her girl's grievances felt bad
" I'm sorry, would I call a waiter to scold you?"
" No, are the emperor and empress here?"
Xuan Yi nodded and clasped his girl's hand as he led her inside his palace
" Father and mother were waiting inside and there was also Shan Shan, my younger brother
She must be happy to meet you, especially considering that she is so crazy about your collection of clothes and jewelry"
" really? but I'm nervous Gege" Xiao Lie said
" Hey calm down, they've been waiting for you for a long time, Lilie, come on in"
Xuan Yi pulled her maiden hand towards the side hall where her family was gathering
That was until Xuan Yi immediately bowed respectfully and was followed by Xiao Lie as well
" Never be too serious, it's just a family lunch
Come here son, let me see you" said Empress Li mei
Xiao Lie approached and sat down on an empty chair beside Empress Li mei
The dining table was silent for a moment, even the usually chatty Shan Shan did not say much
Xuan Yi cleared his throat to break the silence
" Emmm as you said yesterday, she's the xiao lie the girl I want your father to be" Xuan Yi said as she clasped Xiao Lie's hands in a cold sweat
Shan Shan was shocked to hear the name of his future sister-in-law
" wait a minute, what father in this empire is there another family wearing the Xiao clan ?"
Empress Li Mei pinched her son's arm slowly
" indiscriminately, the Xiao clan in this empire has been patented so of course there is only one family surnamed xiao" Li Mei explained to her daughter
Shan Shan gawked and looked at his brother in astonishment
" you are great Gege, you deserve so much to want it" Shan Shan praised
Shan Shan then turned to Xiao Lie and looked at him with a twinkle of admiration
Just like the others, Shan Shan thought the originator of the xiao family business was an adult and experienced person but it turned out to be far from what he had imagined
" Ah I don't know what to call you, you seem younger than me ?" shan Shan asked excitedly without caring about his father and his mother glaring at him for being disrespectful
