As she was going to see the emperor, it was not good to let Eunuch Wang wait for too long. She washed up very quickly and Xiao Tao gave her a lively look. Jian Qingqing then led her people out.
Eunuch Wang smiled and bowed. He said respectfully, “Princess, the carriage and horses are already waiting outside Please follow me.”
Jian Qingqing led her people out. Now that they were in the capital, they had to bring along two wet nurses and four servant girls. Although Jian Qingqing was not used to it, she had to slowly get used to it.
After walking out, she realized that there was a carriage with the royal emblem waiting outside. It was big and luxurious, and it had to be pulled by two horses.
This was the first time Jian Qingqing saw a carriage pulled by two horses.
The coachman saw Jian Qingqing come out and bowed.
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, “Princess, quickly get on the carriage. I think His Majesty can’t wait any longer.”
After getting on the carriage, Jian Qingqing felt that she was really a country dog that had not seen the world. The carriage looked prosperous from the outside, but it was even more luxurious inside.
There was a small cave on the wall of the carriage. There was no problem for her to lie down and roll on it. In front of the cave was a table that was quite big. On the table were tea sets and some desserts.
Jian Qingqing picked up a piece of dessert and tried it. She found that the taste was not bad. It was the best dessert she had ever eaten in this era. It was better than many modern desserts.
The carriage walked very steadily. The tea on it did not shake at all.
Jian Qingqing drank tea and found that the taste was surprisingly familiar. It was the same as the tea she had taken from Ming Zhiyan.
After walking for more than an hour, the carriage went from the bustling city to a quiet and wide road.
After walking for a long time on this road, they finally arrived at a grand gate. The carriage was stopped.
Eunuch Wang opened the door and let the general guarding the gate look inside. Then, he handed over a sign.
The general took it and looked at it before letting it pass.
Eunuch Wang said, “Princess, you can only let two servants follow in.”
Jian Qingqing glanced at the few people following outside and said, “Then it will be Nanny Wu and Xiao Tao.”
After Jian Qingqing finished giving her instructions, the carriage began to move again.
Jian Qingqing looked out of the carriage The carriage began to walk along the long corridor again. There were people standing guard at intervals along the corridor. It was very quiet. Not even a small bug could be seen. In this silence, only the sound of the wheels turning could be heard.
After walking through the long corridor, they finally saw a few palaces.
However, this palace was not like what Jian Qingqing had seen on television. The roofs of the palaces here were all covered with black tiles, it looked grand and magnificent.
After walking for about 25 minutes, the carriage finally stopped.
Eunuch Wang said respectfully, “Princess, please get off the carriage. We have arrived.”
After Jian Qingqing was helped off the carriage, she saw an extremely simple and unadorned hall in front of her. On top of it was written the imperial study room. There were more than 20 generals on duty outside the hall.
Eunuch Zhong, who was waiting outside the imperial study room, hurriedly went forward and bowed. He said respectfully, “We pay our respects to
Princess. Princess, His Majesty is already waiting for you. Follow me in.”
Jian Qingqing smiled and said, “Thank you.”
She took a deep breath to ease the tension in her heart before slowly walking up.
There was a long flight of stairs outside the imperial study. Jian Qingqing was both excited and nervous. She did not know what kind of person was in power in this era..
