Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 45 You Qin enters the palace
The next day, a heavy snow covered the city of Shenjing, covering the palace with silver and frost.

Emperor Jing'an was not very interested in the snow scenery in the palace. He wanted to go to Dangchun Garden to enjoy the snow and spend the winter there, so he left the palace that day and settled in Dangchun Garden on the western outskirts of Shenjing.

Not only would he stay in Dangchun Garden in the summer to escape the heat and listen to government affairs, but he would also stay in Dangchun Garden in spring, autumn and winter.

And since Huangsun Qingbai was raised by him three years ago, in the past three years, almost every time he went to Dangchun Garden, he would take Huangsun Qingbai with him.

Not this time.

Because Yuan Qingbai wanted to stay in the palace and wait for the two people in the room, Youshi and Qin Keqing, to enter the palace.

The day after Emperor Jing'an entered Dangchun Garden, another heavy snowfall covered the city of Shenjing.

Two heavy snowfalls in two consecutive days seemed to have dyed the entire Shenjing City white. Although the streets in the inner city were cleaned, there was a lot of snow on both sides of the streets.

The next day, two teams came out of the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial Palace. One team went to the eastern suburbs of Shenjing to pick up Qin Keqing, and the other team went to the outer city of Shenjing to pick up You.

……

……

At this time, Youshi was sitting in a sedan chair, which was surrounded by a group of eunuchs, mammies, guards, and soldiers.

She couldn't help but gently opened a corner of the sedan curtain, and looked at the snow-covered inner city streets of Shenjing with one eye outside the sedan curtain, at the rows of shops and the bustling crowds even in the snowy weather.

"I'm really going to enter the palace!"

She sighed in her heart and lowered the sedan curtain.

Thinking of meeting the emperor's grandson Qingbai in the palace, she was both looking forward to it and nervous.

Because of her pretty appearance, her father and stepmother You Lao Niang both hoped that she would marry the heir of a powerful family so that they could benefit from it.

However, given her family background, how could the heir to a powerful family marry her easily?
Later, her father and You Lao Niang lowered their requirements, as long as she could marry into a powerful family, even if it was to be a continuation for an older head of the family.

But this kind of opportunity is hard to come by.

Because of this, Youshi has not yet married even at the age of eighteen.

This not only made her father a little anxious, but also herself.

Her father did not expect that this time she would be chosen by Emperor Jing'an to be the wife of Emperor Sun Qingbai.

Because Yuan Qingbai chose the people in his room for himself, it was a bit outrageous. Only Emperor Jing'an, the third prince, Yuan Qingbai and others knew that it was Emperor Jing'an who chose the people in Yuan Qingbai's room that was made public.

You's father was surprised. How could the emperor choose his daughter?
He is just a small sixth-grade imperial official, and his daughter is already eighteen years old.

It would make sense to say that His Majesty had met Youshi in advance because of Youshi's beauty, but His Majesty had not met Youshi in advance either.

You's father couldn't figure it out, and besides being surprised, he was even more surprised.

Youshi was also pleasantly surprised when she learned that she was chosen to be the roommate of Emperor Sun Qingbai and heard her father talk about Emperor Sun Qingbai and the third prince in detail.

Originally, she thought that she would probably not be able to get married until she was twenty years old. Even if she did get married, she would marry an older, powerful and wealthy person to become a family member.

In comparison, it is much better now that she can enter the palace and be the roommate of Emperor Sun Qingbai.

"After entering the palace, you must serve Mr. Bai well. Mr. Bai is loved by the current emperor and will probably become a prince in the future."

"Furthermore, his father, the third prince, has a high chance of becoming emperor in the future. Once the third prince becomes emperor in the future, Third Master Bai will most likely be the next emperor, and you will be the emperor's concubine."

"You have to work hard and fight for the position of the prince's concubine in the future. If Mr. Bai really becomes the emperor in the future, and you want to strive to be the concubine or even the imperial concubine, you will be very lucky."

"..."

Youshi, who was sitting in the sedan chair in a daze, was thinking about what her father had specially told her last night.

At this moment, You heard the voices of the guards coming from outside the sedan. She couldn't help but gently opened the corner of the sedan curtain and took a look. It turned out that she had arrived at the Shenwu Gate of the palace. She knew that this time she would enter the palace through the Shenwu Gate on the north side of the palace.

Although he was still outside the palace gate, by opening a corner of the sedan curtain and looking at the Shenwu Gate and the palace wall, You could somewhat imagine the solemn and solemn scene of the Guidianlan Palace within the palace wall.

She became more and more expectant and nervous.

Suddenly, she noticed that another group of people appeared nearby, and there were also some eunuchs, nuns, guards, officers and soldiers surrounding a sedan. There was also a girl in the sedan who opened the corner of the sedan curtain and looked around.

Youshi and the girl in the sedan made eye contact with some people from a distance.

Youshi immediately deduced that the girl in the sedan chair was probably another member of the room of Emperor Sun Qingbai who was selected with her this time, and was the daughter of Qin Ye, the maintenance man of the Ministry of Industry.

This is the fact.

It was a coincidence that the two of them arrived at Shenwumen at the same time, and it seemed that they were going to see Emperor Qingbai together.

The two teams entered the heavily guarded Shenwu Gate.

The sedan chair You and Qin Keqing were riding in was carried to the second of the five Qianxi institutes, which was very close to the Shenwu Gate.

……

……

Yuan Qingbai naturally looked forward to the arrival of the two people in the room. After all, they were Youshi and Qin Keqing.

Even so, he, who always cherishes time, is still sitting by the window of the study room reading.

Lingxue walked into the study: "Third Master, the two people in the room have come to pick me up."

Yuan Qingbai nodded, put down the book in his hand, stood up, walked out of the study and walked into the inner courtyard.

At this moment, the eunuchs were carrying two sedan chairs from the outer courtyard into the inner courtyard.

Since they had entered the palace and arrived at the residence of Emperor Sun Qingbai, Youshi and Qin Keqing became particularly dignified and did not even lift a corner of the sedan curtain to look out.

Until Lingxue's voice came from outside the sedan: "You two ladies, please get off the sedan. The third master is waiting outside."

Youshi and Qin Keqing both felt ashamed and blushed a little.

Both of them lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, and got out of the sedan with the help of their respective maids.

According to the rules of the Great Zhou Palace, Youshi and Qin Keqing can only bring one personal maid with them to the palace this time. Youshi's maid is Jindie, while Qin Keqing's is Ruizhu.

After getting off the sedan, Youshi and Qin Keqing couldn't help but look up at the emperor, Sun Qingbai.

Wow, what a heroic guy!

Youshi and Qin Keqing's faces became a little more rosy again.

They were all satisfied with the appearance of Emperor Sun Qingbai.

Yuan Qingbai was also satisfied with their appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I can't deceive the originals!"

I saw that they were all covered with silk, decorated with gold and silver.

Although Qin Keqing is now three years younger than Yuan Qingbai, it can already be seen that she is a great beauty. It is strange that in the original work, Jia Zhen wanted to crawl on her.

Youshi is also a beauty, and her appearance is not much different from Qin Keqing's.

One is as delicate as a flower, and the other is both beautiful and elegant.

Looking at such a beautiful pair, Yuan Qingbai thought: "What are father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong doing now?"
