Entering the Red Chamber: Qingwen, rush forward!

On a cold morning in winter, several women from Jia's mansion came to the majestic palace in a carriage.

They got out of the car with the help of the servant girls, and looked timidly at the majestic and majestic palace in front of them. The women felt sorry for each other: at this time, the empress in the palace wanted to announce their audience. worry?

The weather was extremely cold, and even though they were wearing big woolen clothes, they were still shivering from the cold. Their hands, feet and faces had already been icy cold.There was no trace of warmth on their bodies, and even their hearts seemed to be frozen into ice, and they hardly felt beating.

A few people came to a narrow palace gate on the easternmost side of the imperial city.As usual, the female relatives who came to have an audience would wait here to enter the palace.

The gate of the palace is narrow and deep, with red and tall palace walls on both sides, and a deep green brick road at the foot.

I don't know how many people have walked and waited here for hundreds of years. The hard blue bricks have long been smoothed and lost their original color.

As far as the eye can see, this deep palace road is shimmering, showing an old black color, and clusters of fluffy moss can be seen everywhere in the corners.

The mosses are yellow-green, tender green, grass-green, medium green, dark green, brown...they are speckled, but they add a lot of vitality to this dead road.

It's hard for them to live so well in this cold winter.

The palace walls on both sides are very high and thick, they are red, but the top of the wall is yellow. The two palace walls on both sides stand majestically, so powerful that people dare not speak loudly.

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng stood quietly with their hands down.

Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng looked at each other, and they both saw panic in each other's eyes.

Wang Xifeng looked up at Mrs. Xing, but Mrs. Xing frowned in disgust and turned her face away.

Sister Feng couldn't help feeling chilled, she looked at Mrs. Wang again, but the latter also lowered her head and avoided it.

Sister Feng couldn't help but feel more cold and disappointed.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing never looked at each other from the beginning to the end, and they deliberately avoided each other's gaze.

When the three of them were in their hearts, they suddenly heard a loud whistle from the sky.The three of them were so startled that they hurriedly looked up, only to see a flock of pigeons flying across the blue sky.

The pigeon whistle was melodious and loud, very pleasant to hear.It's a pity that after a while, the sound of the pigeon whistle disappeared and could no longer be heard.

The three of them were disappointed when they suddenly heard a loud "crack" coming from the palace.

The sudden and ear-piercing voice startled the three women in Jia's house.

When they were wondering what was going on, they suddenly heard someone coughing at the palace gate and the sound of the door opening.

Several people hurriedly walked a few steps to the gate of the palace, standing respectfully with their hands down.

In an instant, the palace gate opened, and someone inside asked sharply: "Yo! Who is this? Why are you standing here so early in the morning? It's so scary!"

The three of them didn't dare to look up, they only heard the sharp and piercing voice, male and female, probably it was an eunuch.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly took a step forward, bowed and saluted, then secretly raised her eyes and saw that there was indeed a young eunuch in front of her.

She hurriedly said: "Eunuch, it is the empress who announced our audience."

While talking, she hurriedly took out a silver ingot from her sleeve, estimated to be two or thirty taels, and hurriedly stuffed it into the eunuch's hand.

Seeing that there was a lot of money, the eunuch immediately smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say. The empress did ask someone to come to inform me that today there are female family members from Jia's mansion, and it's you three?"

After hearing the question, the three of them hurriedly bowed and said, "Exactly!"

The little eunuch waved his hand and said: "Okay, since it is the empress who is going to announce you, then come in first, after someone has passed the examination, someone will naturally take you in."

The three hurriedly agreed, followed the little eunuch into the palace gate, and then closed the palace gate tightly.

Only the three of them could enter the palace. As for the maids they brought, they were not even allowed to come near the palace, so they had to wait far away.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing had come to see her before, and they didn't feel anything, but it was the first time for Wang Xifeng to come here, so she couldn't help but feel anxious.As soon as she heard the palace gate closed, she panicked even more, she was so panicked that she couldn't even walk steadily, she nearly tripped and fell to the ground.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xing glanced at her contemptuously, then turned her head to the side, never bothering to look at her again.

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Wang Xifeng knew that she was making a fool of herself, first she blushed pretty, and then her face turned blue, she bit her lip, tried her best to calm down, and slowly followed the crowd.It's just that her legs are fluttering, and she really has no idea.

The little eunuch led the three of them to a small room next to the gate of the palace, and said: "Just wait here, some people will come to check after a while, and someone will take you into the palace."

After finishing speaking, the little eunuch closed the door with a "squeak" and went out.

The door was about to close, so Wang Xifeng leaned on the wall, her legs were as soft as noodles, and she couldn't stand still.

Mrs. Xing sneered first and said: "I thought it was some kind of young lady who had seen so many worlds! She hasn't entered the palace yet, she's like a crab with soft feet. After entering the palace and meeting the empress, she still doesn't know how to make a fool of herself What! You must be careful, be careful to offend the nobles in the palace, and the skin will not expose you!"

When Wang Xifeng heard Mrs. Xing's scolding, her face turned paler, but she was trembling and speechless.

Mrs. Wang frowned secretly, and said softly: "Girl Feng, why haven't you seen any battles? What's the matter today? Why are you so cowardly, it makes people laugh for nothing! Don't do that, it's not a good place here Where you are, the nobles in the palace are very kind, don't be afraid..."

Wang Xifeng reluctantly nodded, biting her lip and not daring to speak.

Where did Mrs. Wang know why Sister Feng was so panicked.

It turned out that she never revealed what Wang Xifeng was told to do when she left the palace with the piano in her arms.

Mrs. Wang didn't even know that the empresses in the palace strictly ordered Wang Xifeng to do these things.

If she had known, Wang Xifeng would have been forced to pay for her life long ago.

Wang Xifeng acted recklessly and kept it a secret from everyone.Until now, seeing that she was about to meet Jia Yuanchun, how could she not panic when she thought that the matter was about to be exposed?

What's more, if the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun turned her face in front of everyone, then she would die without a place to bury her!

When she was in a panic, she heard the door knocking lightly, and then two handsome young maids came in.

When the two maids entered the door, they saluted first, and then said: "According to the rules, we have to have a body check first, ladies and gentlemen, don't blame them!"

Mrs. Wang hurriedly laughed and said: "I'm still troublesome girl, there is no blame."

Only then did the two little maids come forward to inspect it carefully.

At this moment, there was another knock on the door.Several people hurriedly looked up: they saw another woman with a very beautiful face coming in from the outside. She looked very familiar, but they couldn't recognize who it was.

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing were confused here, but Wang Xifeng recognized the person at a glance, and she cried out: "Qingwen, it's you? Why are you here?"
