The charcoal in the palace is also divided into three, six or nine grades, among which the red charcoal is the most precious and the quantity is limited.

Therefore, the only two people in the palace who could use red charcoal were the emperor and the queen mother.

The imperial concubine only occasionally gets a reward, otherwise she would be given seventy-five pounds of fine charcoal every day.

If you don’t have enough, you can only buy it with your own money.

Other concubines with lower status could only receive about twenty or thirty kilograms of medium charcoal per month.

The minimum commitment is only ten pounds per day.

In such a cold weather, it would cost hundreds of kilograms in one day, which shows how expensive this carbon fire is.

This red charcoal is durable and has no smoke. It is the best charcoal fire in the palace.

After everything was arranged, Wang Yun asked someone to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to carry a sedan before striding to the palace gate.

He was afraid that if he arrived late and kept the future queen waiting, the queen and the emperor would chop off his head if he froze.

While running all the way, Wang Yun even fell down because of the slippery road, and his butt fell hard to the ground.

"Who? Who is responsible for clearing the snow in this area? Why don't you let people come and clean it up? If you fall on the Queen later, be careful with your heads."

The maid who was sweeping the snow nearby was frightened to death when she saw the steward's father-in-law throwing him.

Fortunately, he didn't hear that she was going to be punished, so he walked over and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.

The prince rubbed his sore buttocks and glared at the palace maid, having no time to argue with her.

"Scan carefully."

"Yes."

The palace maid was belatedly aware of what she had heard? His face was full of doubts, since when had there been a queen in the palace?

It was freezing cold, and many roads were covered with snow. As soon as I stepped on it, my shoes and socks got wet.

Xu Jinyi was already wearing thin clothes, and the tip of Xu Jinyi's nose was red from the cold, and her hands and feet were stiff.

Panting but not daring to stop.

The palace gate that was so close at hand also became out of reach. It was clearly right in front of me, but I walked for half an hour.

Eunuch Wang Yun waited for a long time, feeling the cold wind blowing and shivering at the entrance of the palace. He couldn't bear it anymore and hid behind the wall at the entrance of the palace.

The guards watched the two people walking towards the palace entrance. Before they could get close, they stepped forward to chase them away.

Of course he also saw that his father-in-law was waiting for someone, but he saw that Xu Jinyi and the others were walking in the wind and snow.

It didn't look like someone the father-in-law wanted to wait for, so he had to drive them away without waiting for Xu Jinyi to say anything.

"Come on, let's go, we are not allowed to approach the palace gate!"

"My lord, please do me a favor. Our young lady wants to see the emperor?" Su Mian asked with a pleading look on her face.

Along the way, Xu Jinyi only told her that she had to go to the palace to find the emperor, thinking that Xu Jinyi wanted to sue, and knew nothing else.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year-Old Emperor, why did you say that you can see me whenever you want? Please leave quickly."

"If you want to complain, I advise you to go back. I'm afraid you'll die on the nail board before you see the emperor."

Su Mian had a dead look on her face, knowing that when she came to see the emperor, she would have to roll her body over the nail board before she could see the emperor.

Just as she was about to persuade her young lady to give up, Xu Jinyi unhurriedly took out the dragon-shaped jade pendant given by the emperor.

"My lord, please take this jade pendant and help me present it to the emperor. He will know it when he sees the jade pendant."

The beautiful voice made the guard look at Xu Jinyi's face. Although he was wearing a curtain hat, his exposed eyes were extremely beautiful.

He glanced at the jade pendant in her hand disapprovingly, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Girl, hurry up and invite me. I'm so clumsy, please forgive me."

"Quickly, call Mr. Wang Yun, the girl is here." The guard was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out. This is the emperor's jade pendant.

Every time they left the palace, they saw the emperor hanging it on his waist, but now it actually appeared in the hand of a girl.

Thinking of the neglect he had just done, he still wanted to drive people away.

The guard shook his body and begged for mercy while walking with Xu Jinyi.

"Girl, I'm really sorry. I didn't know that you were the emperor's distinguished guest. I offended you just now, so please spare my life."

"Don't tell the emperor, I'm so grateful."

After experiencing life and death, in front of Xu Jinyi, life does not distinguish between high and low, and he didn't take what just happened to his heart at all.

He also knew that he didn't look like someone who wanted to enter the palace.

"It's your responsibility too, I don't blame you."

"Thank you, girl." The guard breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like he had walked away from hell.

Although I don’t know who the girl in front of me is, but for the emperor to pay so much attention to her and send Eunuch Wang Yun to pick her up, and also give her a personal jade pendant, she must be someone the emperor values.

If the emperor found out that he just stared at the girl and had a bad attitude, his life would definitely be lost.

Eunuch Wang Yun ran out, glanced at Xu Jinyi, and then looked at the guards.

Because the emperor only asked him to pick up someone, and he was not sure who he picked up?

If the wrong call is made and the correct owner fails to receive it, then he is doomed.

"Eunuch Wang Yun, this girl came with the emperor's jade pendant." The guard reminded.

Xu Jinyi spread the jade pendant in the palm of her hand.

Eunuch Wang Yun's face immediately turned into a smile: "Young lady, please come. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Su Mian was completely confused. The guard's sudden change of attitude just now, and the father-in-law's obviously flattering attitude.

What they mean is that the emperor knows her lady, and this jade pendant also belongs to the emperor?

But knowing that the palace was very particular about rules, Su Mian didn't say a word even though she felt strange.

Instead, he followed Xu Jinyi, not daring to look around when he walked into the palace for the first time.

Xu Jinyi looked at the snow on the roof of the sedan and knew that the emperor had probably asked someone to wait here.

The sedan was very luxurious. After Xu Jinyi got in, she found that it was very warm inside, which was not a little different from the temperature outside.

Glancing at the sleeve stove beside her, Xu Jinyi held it in her hand, and her frozen hands felt a little warm.

There were snacks on the small table, which showed how considerate the person who arranged to pick her up was.

This calmed Xu Jinyi's panic a little.

They say that once you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. There are so many women on the emperor's side, and she is somewhat panicked.

I'm afraid that the emperor only likes me a little bit, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to help my brother if I enter the palace.

Su Mian was a maid and couldn't sit in the sedan chair, but she was happy for her young lady.

Ouyang Zhixia was caught by people from the Prime Minister's Office not far away.

Realizing that he had arrested the wrong person, the servant secretly screamed that something was wrong and hurriedly chased Xu Jinyi.

But they never imagined that Xu Jinyi would run to the palace.

So no matter how many people the Prime Minister's Office sent, they still couldn't find anyone.

When he learned that the man had escaped, Prime Minister Xu was so angry that his face turned blue, and he even slapped Wu angrily.

"It was all your good idea. As long as it's done, everyone has run away now."

"After raising it for so many years, it was about to be used at a critical moment. Then something went wrong."

"How on earth do you manage this family when you can't even look down on someone?"

Wu covered her face in shock, she didn't expect the Prime Minister to dare to hit her.

In these years, no matter what happened, he never laid a hand on her once.

After all, she has the Wu family and the imperial concubine behind her.
