The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 460
The halls in the palace are majestic, the pavilions and small buildings are all exquisite, and the plants and flowers are also rare. This is the first time for Shen Jingxuan to enter the palace. She looked left and right, and she left the inner palace without knowing it. I can't remember the way back at all.

She looked at the similar buildings, and glanced at the gradually sinking sunset. Shen Jingxuan couldn't help speeding up her pace. When she was crossing an arch bridge, her feet froze, and one of her shoes fell into the water under the bridge.

Shen Jingxuan was pawing on the bridge, seeing her shoes submerged in the water, she looked around anxiously, but she couldn't find anyone, at this moment she regretted not letting the palace servants follow her, she definitely couldn't go back in such a mess It's over, Shen Jingxuan sat on the bridge in frustration, and could only hope that someone would come to rescue her.

Shen Jingxuan sat on the bridge and waited for a long time before she finally saw someone coming. Two small inner eunuchs led a man who looked like an official towards this side.

Shen Jingxuan hurriedly waved to the two little eunuchs, and several of them came forward, and one of the little eunuchs asked, "Miss, is there something wrong to call our house?"

Shen Jingxuan blushed halfway, and replied falteringly: "I passed by here, and my shoes fell into the water, and I couldn't walk."

The two little eunuchs subconsciously glanced at the water, smiled and said to Shen Jingxuan: "The girl must be a nobleman in the palace, if you dare to ask where the nobleman is staying, I will report to you."

Shen Jingxuan has the nerve to say that she is the queen's own sister.

With her appearance, she was about to embarrass the eldest sister.

Shen Jingxuan quickly waved her hand and said: "No need, just trouble the two father-in-laws to try to help me fish out the shoes. I will just put them on and go back by myself. I live not far from here."

The two little eunuchs subconsciously glanced at the water under the bridge again, and said with embarrassment: "The water is so deep that you can't see the shadow of the girl's embroidered shoes. Where can I get them? I'll help you go back and call someone to come." stop."

Seeing that the two of them refused to help, Shen Jingxuan lowered the corners of her eyes and replied, "In that case, then go and do your work, I'll just wait here."

Seeing this, the official led by the two inner eunuchs stepped forward slowly, leaned on the railing and glanced at the water, then turned his head and said to the two little eunuchs: "Please trouble me to break a long branch over here."

After a while, a small eunuch returned with a branch. The man took the branch, looked at Shen Jingxuan and asked, "Where did the girl's shoes fall into the water?"

Shen Jingxuan lowered her head and pointed towards Cai Luo's shoes: "It fell in from here, and it sank to the bottom of the water."

Hearing this, the man said that he bent down and squatted on the bridge, and stirred in the water for a while with a wooden stick in his hand. Finally, he fished out Shen Jingxuan's shoes, which were covered with a lot of mud at the bottom of the water. Walking down the arch bridge with the shoes in hand, stepping on the stones, washing the shoes in the water and wringing them dry with your hands, then returning to the bridge, and politely handing them to Shen Jingxuan, saying: "Fortunately, it's not too cold today, girl, let's go Just put it on and go back quickly."

His voice is gentle, making people listen very comfortable and down-to-earth, like a big brother.

Shen Jingxuan couldn't help raising her eyes to look at the person who helped her relieve her urgent need. He was a young man in his 20s, wearing a fourth-rank civil official uniform, and his appearance was as gentle as his voice.

Shen Jingxuan glanced at it and quickly lowered her head. She nodded hurriedly and said, "Thank you, my lord, I understand."

It wasn't until the man walked off the bridge that Shen Jingxuan dared to raise her head. She stood on the bridge blankly, watching the man's back, but her heart was beating non-stop.

Shen Jingxuan didn't dare to wander around, she put on her shoes and got off the bridge, finally caught a palace man and asked the way, she trotted all the way back to the harem, just halfway, Shen Jingxuan happened to meet someone who came to look for her Ziyun.

Seeing Shen Jingxuan's embarrassed face, Ziyun hurriedly asked: "Where did you go? Your empress asked me to look for you. I have been looking for you in the inner palace for a long time."

Shen Jingxuan quickly shrank her feet into her skirt, and said falteringly: "I just went to the imperial garden to look at the flowers."

Ziyun did not doubt that he was there, and said with a smile: "The inner palace is big, next time I go out for a stroll and ask the palace people to follow."

As she spoke, she pulled Shen Jingxuan over and said, "Let's go, Your Majesty and Your Majesty are hosting a banquet at Yuhua Terrace, and I'll let you go."

Shen Jingxuan hurriedly replied: "Then I'll go back and change my clothes first."

After Shen Jingxuan changed her clothes, she followed Ziyun to the Jiaofang Hall to find Jingshu. At this moment, besides Xu Wanning and Pingyang, there was another female relative in the Jiaofang Hall, and that was the newly married Li Jinyan.

Seeing her younger sister, Jing Shu quickly waved her hand and said, "Xuan'er, come here quickly, do you still remember Jin Yan?"

Shen Jingxuan stepped forward, Jin Yan also got up, the two exchanged greetings, Jing Shu saw that everyone was in order, and said: "It is rare for a family to get together so neatly today, Your Majesty ordered a family banquet at Yuhua Terrace, my child We are about to leave school, let's just go there."

A group of female family members left Jiaofang Hall and walked up the palace road to Yuhua Terrace.

"Let's see who's here?" Li Ling, who was at the top, smiled and greeted the female family members as soon as they entered the hall.

"Ah! Is this the fourth brother?"

Xu Wanning was the first to exclaim.

"It's really the fourth brother?" Li Jinyan covered her mouth and asked in surprise.

Li Yu got up, and she first saluted Jingshu respectfully: "I have seen your mother." Then she saluted the rest of the female family members: "I have seen my sister-in-law and third sister-in-law."

There was a gentle smile on his face, when his eyes fell on Shen Jingxuan who was among a group of female relatives, Li Yu's complexion could not help changing slightly.

Jing Shu caught Li Yu's doubts, and she introduced with a smile: "This is my natal sister."

Only then did Li Yu regain his composure, and he quickly saluted respectfully, "I've seen the Shen family sister."

Shen Jingxuan was more shocked than Li Yu, and she couldn't hide her emotions like others, until Li Yu saluted her, Shen Jingxuan still didn't recover, just nodded dully, and then followed the female officer's guidance into her seat.

"Fourth brother has changed a lot after being separated for several years." After Xu Wanning sat down, she still clung to Li Yu.

"Isn't it? I almost can't recognize it." Ping Yang echoed.

"The fourth brother is now a local parent and official. I heard that the fourth brother is praised by the people in the south." Jing Shu looked at Li Yu and said with a smile.

The family has lived together for several years. Although they have experienced many ups and downs, but now they get together, everyone just feels kind. No one is still entangled in the past grievances. He became a gentle, cheerful and motivated young man.

Li Yu bowed to his sisters-in-law again and said, "I, Li Yu, have the good fortune of today, but it is not because of the care of my sisters-in-law back then."

Xu Wanning spoke quickly: "We should be the sister-in-law's caretakers for you, but now His Majesty has recruited you to be an official in Beijing, will you never leave?"

Li Ling said: "Although the fourth brother is young, he has extraordinary abilities and has made great achievements in the local area for so many years. I recruited him to Beijing this time to entrust him with a heavy responsibility."

Hearing this, Li Yu got up and saluted quickly: "I really don't dare to be a humble minister. If you can share your majesty's worries, I will die."
