King Xiang of the Red Chamber

Chapter 152: Zhen Qin Enters the Palace
At the same time, in the courtyard north of the capital, Zhen Qin got into the sedan chair with the help of the girl after dressing up.

After waiting for several minutes, his unreliable elder brother arrived late, yawning as if he hadn't woken up.

They have been in the capital for two days and have been waiting to be summoned. It was only yesterday afternoon that the palace sent a message to let them enter the palace at noon today.

Although it is noon, in order not to be late, it is natural to leave earlier, for example, it is an hour earlier now.

"Brother, hurry up!" Zhen Qin in the sedan chair said anxiously.

"Second sister, it will take half an hour at most from here to the imperial city, why are you in such a hurry!" Zhen Qi looked tired.

After driving for more than a month, she didn't relax for a while. After arriving in the capital this time, Zhen Qi can be said to be singing every night.

Currently, there is no curfew in the capital, so the nightlife is still very rich. Last night, Zhen Qi didn't come back until midnight.

Only Zhen Qin was dissatisfied and said: "Let's go quickly...don't keep my aunt waiting!"

Leading the team to set off, Zhen Qi came to the side of the sedan chair and reminded in a low voice: "I said, Second Sister, you need to restrain your character, the palace is not our house!"

"Princess gold and jade are precious, but please don't offend her!"

"I know, I know!"

Having said that, Zhen Qin has other ideas.

It's true that she came here to choose a servant, but she wanted to be the princess's sister-in-law, so it was nothing to her to suffer a little from her sister-in-law.

After Zhen Qin and his party left the house, they headed straight for the palace.

All the way was smooth, although there were people on the street, they were not many, most of them were servants who came and went from various mansions.

"Get out of the way..."

The yelling and cursing from behind immediately attracted a loud and angry sound, and then came the rapid sound of horseshoes.

"Are they startled?" Zhen Qi looked back.

The accompanying servant replied: "Master, it doesn't look like it!"

It really wasn't that the horse was startled, it was just that after getting close to the Zhen family members, the rear convoy was already actively slowing down.

"We are the Japanese ambassador, let's get out of the way..."

The street is about two feet wide, and it is not enough for two convoys to run side by side, and it is even more difficult to overtake.

"So what about the Japanese ambassador? This road is not yours, so you don't understand?" Zhen Qi scolded angrily.

He and Zhen Qin almost lost their lives when Jinling was hit by the Japanese invasion, so naturally they didn't like the Japanese.

"idiot……"

In the carriage, Okamoto Hideto was already in a hurry, and cursed out of his mouth.

Because of Masahide Okamoto's incident, Ming Dynasty sent officials to Japan and scolded the emperor severely.

This caused the relationship between the emperor and the shogunate to become tense, and the feudal lords everywhere also felt restless, forcing General Okamoto Hideki to send his younger brother to come to Daming to plead guilty on the occasion of the Holy Birthday.

They have been in Daming for five days, and they only got the news from the Ministry of Rites yesterday that the emperor will summon them at a quarter of noon today.

Perhaps because of offending Daming, the Ministry of Rites did not arrange accommodation for these Japanese, so Hideto Okamoto and his party lived far away.

Although they got up very early, because they were not familiar with the place and were discriminated against, they took a lot of wrong roads.

Now that he finally entered the inner city, he had another dispute with the Zhen family.

"These smart people are simply too uneducated!"

Hideto Okamoto was furious, and the anger that had been suppressed before spewed out together, and immediately scolded: "Mr. Gao Gong, don't worry about them, just rush over!"

"My lord, this is in Ming country, so is it..."

"If you look down on our country so much, why do you care about those people? Go over there!" Hideto Okamoto's face darkened.

In Okamoto Hideto's view, as long as he doesn't offend the Ming royal family, it's okay to make a little mistake to get rid of the fire.

"Rush over!"

Okamoto Hidetoshi's entourage were all well-chosen from the army, and they were more numerous than the servants of the Zhen family, so it was easy to drive the Zhen family to the side of the road.

Zhen Qin, who was sitting in the carriage, was really going to be pissed off at this moment. She never expected to be bullied in the capital.

At this moment, Zhen Qi could only take her slaves with her, and protect the carriage that Zhen Qin was riding in with all her strength, preventing her from being hit by the Japanese barbarians.

After the Japanese left, Zhen Qi came to the carriage and asked in a low voice, "Sister, are you alright?"

Zhen Qin was extremely aggrieved at the moment, and replied with a crying voice: "This matter...I want to tell my aunt, and let her punish these savages!"

"That's right, that's right!" Zhen Qi was also very angry.

After resuming their formation, the members of the Zhen family hurried forward again, but nothing happened to them again.

Let's talk about Okamoto Hidetoshi and his party, after friction with the Zhen family, they rushed to Yongding Tianjie very quickly.

The road here is wide, and the width of Tianjie is about 50 meters, so there is basically no need to worry about traffic jams.

Opening the curtain and looking at the palace wall standing in front of him, Hideto Okamoto revealed his reverie.

Compared with the spacious and well-organized Great Myojin, the narrow and messy Kyoto is almost like the countryside, which really makes Hideto Okamoto not proud.

And the further you go in, pass through the tall city walls, and gradually approach the core of power in the eastern world, the greater the impact Hideto Okamoto will receive.

He is like this, and the envoys from all over the world who have been to Beijing recently have the same psychological experience.

There is no prestige without magnificence. After more than [-] years of construction, Luoyang, the capital of gods, is definitely the most magnificent city in the world.

It is not uncommon for people from small places like Hideto Okamoto to be shocked.

In the end, Hideto Okamoto came to the gate of Daming, and further inside it belonged to the imperial city area, and anyone had to walk in unless authorized.

After checking the documents and permits, Hideto Okamoto brought only four subordinate officials, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers of the Yiwei Division of the Imperial City, walked into the palace gate with a low eyebrow.

"The weather of the Celestial Dynasty is really majestic and majestic, and it is beyond our country's comparison!"

"If there is no such weather, how can the allies and subordinate countries be convinced..."

Hearing the comments of the accompanying officials, Okamoto Hideto couldn't help but said: "Everyone, although Ming Dynasty is good, it is not our country!"

"Don't forget, our mission here!"

After they shut up, they followed behind Okamoto Hidetoshi, and hurried towards the direction of the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites would take them into the palace.

When they went to the Ministry of Rites to negotiate, the Zhen family and his party also came outside the imperial city, and eunuchs had come to greet them in advance.

"This is the emperor's edict. These are all juniors of the concubine, can they pass?"

The military officer on duty at the gate of the city was just a general banner, which made him very difficult.

"Eunuch, wait a moment, I'll go ask Master Baihu for instructions!"

Obviously, the Supreme Emperor's edict doesn't work like that.

The General Banner found Baihu, but this Baihu didn't dare to make decisions casually, so he went to Qianhu again with the handbook.

She thought she could enter the palace, but Zhen Qin was blocked here again, which made her feel uncomfortable again.

Of course, she didn't dare to mess around in the important place of the palace, and she could only hold back the resentment in her heart.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Qian Hu, who was in charge of guarding the Daming Gate, rushed over and asked everyone in the Zhen family to let them go.

Of course, the so-called release doesn't mean everyone can get in, except for the brothers and sisters of the Zhen family.
