Travel To The World Of Ca Li
Entering Palace!
Two Days Later, the Main Gate of the Imperial Palace.
Long queues of horse carriages filled the paved roads, the laughter of the imperial girls walking on the front lines kept coming. The young girls were highly educated in the deep, satin-coloured chambers they wore like spring flower buds blooming in the fields.
The golden glint of the morning sunlight panned so sharply, making the warm excitement on their bright display.
Nearly fifty girls gathered to form their social classes. Today was a historic day for them to be able to enter the palace, they would stay here as long as the competition was over.
Supervision in the competition to become the prince's wife was so strict. So, up to a month in the future, the behavior of the candidates will be monitored thoroughly by the palace.
Later in the evening there will be a welcome event and a meeting with the empress and imperial concubines. It makes sense that the faces of these girls are so passionate and enthusiastic in preparing things.
But, for those who do not believe themselves to get the heart of a prince, this opportunity to enter the imperial palace was also a great help for them to find a future husband among a suitable row of soldiers or young officials.
The mixture of fragrant cosmetics aroma flew in the wind, making a headache for the unaccustomed. Xiu Qixuan's forehead wrinkled dullly, the glare of her eyes clearly implying dislike while being in the group of girls who had younger ages underneath.
It was clear that she was the only matured old girl here. The age of these girls only ranges from fifteen to seventeen years, while the age of Xiu Qixuan when this summer is nineteen years, and if on earth that has a faster turnaround time, the, he is twenty-two years old. Enough to make him bored when talking trivial things that are not appropriate.
Escaping to the quieter side, Xiu Qixuan leaned against the shady tree trunk while folding both of her hands in front of her chest. His face seemed to shrivel sharply like a hedgehog wrapped around his body with thorns, not allowing people to get close.
"Yes the sky, Big Miss. What are you doing sitting here?!"
"Miss, we're looking for you!"
A simple voice rang out loud from the right side. Spontaneously Xiu Qixuan turned her head, her gaze catching Xiao Rou and the grumbling middle-aged woman coming in shock.
Sweaters flooded each of their faces, Xiao Rou's expression was quite calm when compared to the middle-aged woman beside him.
"What else should I do but take shelter in this hot weather?" chirping Xiu Qixuan replied by rolling her lazy eyeballs.
"And what is your explanation for this untetched posture?" The middle-aged woman commented with a sharp frown.
Snorting cynically, Xiu Qixuan immediately straightened her body. He pursed his lips and put on a sweet smile that quipped: "Chao momo, what exactly is your job besides lecturing me?"
Chao momo, the figure of an old servant who will accompany him while in the palace. The palace rules required candidates who were noble ladies to bring only a maid of honor and an old nanny.
Xiu Qixuan did not have an old nanny close by and truly she trusted. For that since the time in Ping'an—sang City Father and Yao Yunmei had already prepared two special old lady maids for him to come to the capital. But, one of the two maids suddenly became seriously ill, whereas that person was the one Xiu Qixuan wanted to bring along because she was calmer and skilled. Whether this was a coincidence or not, finally the healthy-bodied Chao momo came with him in the palace on the basis of the pressure exerted by Xiu Lingze.
Formally, and not feeling guilty. Chao Momo responded pretending not to understand. "What do you mean, Miss? Of course, this lowly servant just faithfully follows all your desires."
Xiao Rou who was among them could only sculpt without helping anything. Since the beginning in the horse-drawn carriage, this feud has been going on, the lady does not like the conservative attitude of Chao momo, she said, and Chao Momo carries out the task by being a reminder when the lady violates the rules that can harm herself.
Quickly, Xiao Rou replied. "Yes, we're handing it over to the palace attendants and eunuchs on duty to be brought in later by them."
Xiu Qixuan nodded, understanding.
Then Xiu Qixuan's pupils moved through every corner, trying to find the whereabouts of someone she knew.
"Get me your arm, miss." Chao Momo's tight voice suddenly interrupted her eye movements.
Obtained. "Why?" Xiu Qixuan knitted her eyebrows together, she tilted her face looking astonished. But reflexively, his right hand had already raised by itself.
A clattering sound rang out from the clanking of the glowing pearl oyster that was already encircling her slender wrist. Chao momo smiled as she finished putting the pearl bracelet on Xiu Qixuan's arm. He said full of excitement: "You received this gift from the fifth prince and the ninth prince yesterday. So, you have to wear them to appreciate them, right."
Hearing his words, Xiu Qixuan immediately clucked seriously. He looked at Chao Momo very sharply. Chao momo wants to get him killed here, huh? Don't see if she—the crowd of girls there can become demons that will antagonize and devour her when they know all this.
After all, this gift is just a formality of persuasion, yesterday two palace attendants came together to bring her a set of jewels to choose from at the request of the fifth prince and the ninth prince as a gift of their gratitude and apology for involving Xiu Qixuan into the abstract dispute of the past.
It was obviously electrifying for Xiu Main House, until Xiu Lingze came and lifted his suspension on Xiao Rou because he had already misjudged the situation.
Surprisingly, Xiu Qixuan felt that all of those things were not on the basis of the rigid fifth prince's initiative and thought let alone the childish ninth prince, they couldn't possibly think too far about the situation of the girl who didn't show her eyes. Moreover, at that time it was certain that Xiao Rou who was in disguise did not give them any deep impression.
And sure enough after confirming again, the palace maid who sent the gift alluded to Wei Guifei and the Empress simultaneously.
"Hoh, Miss! Why does your fist look better?"
"Of course, Xiao Rou. When you're finishing your sentence. We've given Big Miss a lot of care."
"Impossible, this is really great! Calluses on the skin of the hand seem to disappear unnoticed."
Holding Xiu Qixuan's arm and palpating the delicate skin of the palm with a curious gleam, Xiao Rou carefully traced it. The calluses are common to the lady because she is a sword user.
"Now, I'll take all the heavy work for you. So, don't think about using these pretty hands recklessly, Miss."
Chao momo's voice rang again, he said to Xiu Qixuan with pride. Did this old lady really not think about anything when she saw a young girl suffering from calluses in her hands?
"Tch, enough!" Xiu Qixuan screeched and retracted her hand. Quickly remove the pearl bracelet. "Save this damn thing!" he cursed tightly and threw the ornamentation that was caught nimbly by Xiao Rou.
