Chapter 17: Entering the Palace (2)

The Upong carriage drove out of Guargarf's house, and on the bluestone-paved streets, hundreds of people discussed whose show girl stood out more.

Erfu's heart is very nervous, although the deep palace forbidden courtyard is extremely luxurious, but it is also paved with blood, those famous and noble girls are used to seeing the inner house to compete for favor, which is essentially different from the innocent girl like Erfu who receives modern education.

Yuqing felt Erfu's nervousness, put his hand on the back of Erfu's hand, and said softly: "Gege, you don't need to worry, you have a beautiful face and a noble family background, and the Holy Lord will definitely not let you cast your pearl secretly!"

Erfu shook his head slightly, looked at the magnolia flowers on his robe, shook his head slowly, and said softly: "Life in the world, glory and wealth are like floating clouds, although it is said that poor couples mourn everything, but the one on the supreme position, how can there be love in his heart! If he really enters the palace to serve, it will be difficult to leave the palace at this time, and Ama and Eniang will be even more worried about Erfu, as a human woman, how can I be so selfish!"

Yuqing nodded as if he didn't understand, looked at Erfu, who was sitting on the side depressed, and lowered his head silently.

Before you know it, Erf's carriage passed through the outer city, the inner city, and came to the palatial Forbidden City.

Erfu's carriage stopped outside the Shenwu Gate.

As soon as the carriage stopped, I heard the shrill voice of the eunuch outside, shouting at the show girls to line up and send the carriage outside the palace gate.

Yuqing jumped out of the carriage quickly, carefully placed the pedals of Zhu Qi, and then lifted the curtain and stepped forward to help Erfu get out of the carriage.

As soon as Erfu stood still, he glanced around, only to see many show girls either beautiful and lovely, or beautiful and moving, or gentle as water, with a trace of throbbing in their eyes, endless envy looking at the Forbidden City that could only see the palace wall, Erfu sneered at these women in his heart, and silently looked at this completely antique, unprocessed Shenwu Gate.

I saw the Shenwu Gate in front of me, higher than several floors of buildings, the base is a layer of white marble of Sumeru, one large and two small three palace doors open to both sides, revealing the dark black door opening, the door hole is the city tower with five rooms, the outside of the city tower is the railing of white marble, the front and back eaves of the building are the rhombic lattice doors that are open left and right, and the east and west mountains are also set up with double plate doors.

Look at the city tower again is the most common heavy eaves in the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces, the lower layer is a single warped single ang five step on the bucket, the upper floor is a single warped heavy ang seven step on the bucket arch, the beam is the ink line big point gold spindle color painting, it seems to be both thick and heavy, and do not lose the luxury.

It is just a palace gate, which fully shows the luxury of the Ming and Qing imperial palaces.

In the center of the upper eaves hangs a plaque with gilt copper characters on a blue background, and the big characters of Shenwumen in Manchu and Chinese are written on it.

"Which kind of Gege are you, why don't you hurry up and line up with a name tag, why are you stunned here!" A little eunuch wearing a cyan robe and a pointed hat walked over, saw Guargarf who was in a daze, and accused him unceremoniously.

Erfu, who came back to her senses, smiled, stopped Yuqing, who was about to speak, and said softly: "It's all little girls who are shallow, and suddenly saw the majestic and extraordinary appearance of the palace, and lost their minds for a while, and I ask my father-in-law to forgive me!"

The little eunuch saw that Erfu spoke politely, so naturally he didn't want to be too harsh.

After all, these are all show girls to be selected, who knows that the tree will blossom and bear fruit, if it is because of a quick mouth, offending the nobles, it is not worth it.

After serving in the palace for a long time, these lowly little eunuchs have also learned to cast a wide net and form good relationships.

The little eunuch saw that Erfu looked delicate and lovely, showed his extravagance in his gestures, and his clothes were beautiful and beautiful, and his workmanship was exquisite, so he hurriedly brushed his horseshoe sleeves, slapped a thousand children, opened his mouth with a smile, and said in a sharp voice: "This little master is really polite, you look at the slave's cheap mouth, you must not take it to heart!"

Yuqing looked at the little eunuch in front of him who looked like two people in front of him with some confusion, and looked at Erfu suspiciously, Erfu smiled faintly, took out an ordinary purse from his sleeve, and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand.

"My father-in-law is too polite, but I have never gone out very much, and I was born stupid, and my grandmother taught me in every way, and I was still a little at a loss when I saw such a big scene, and I asked my father-in-law to lead a section of the way!"

The little eunuch checked the purse in his hand, the smile on his face became a little more sincere, bowed his body, led Erfu to the square table that was queuing, and said a few words to the little eunuch who was writing, and then asked Erfu's surname and family history, and quickly took out a jade-colored name tag.

"This little lord, do you think there is anything wrong with this?" the little eunuch ignored the dissatisfied eyes next to him, smiled and held the name tag to Erfu, and said softly.

"Trouble father-in-law!" Erf took the pair of cards, glanced at them slightly, and said a kind word with a smile.

When the little eunuch saw Erfu walking in the direction of queuing up to enter the Shenwu Gate, he did not follow aside, but worked harder to please many show girls, which also made the originally deflated horseshoe sleeves bulge in an instant.

Erfu walked to the end of the line, smiled at a few people around him in a friendly manner, and explained that Yuqing had returned home with the carriage.

Yuqing had tears in her eyes and watched Erfu reluctantly refuse to leave.

Erfu looked at Yuqing stupidly, unable to figure out why this maid, who had only been serving her for a few months, was so out of shape!

The team of show girls who entered the palace was slowly moving forward, and Erfu was getting closer and closer to the towering palace gate, Yuqing walked quickly to Erfu, whispered a few words, and took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, took out a crumpled letter from his sleeve and stuffed it into Erfu's hand.

Erfu was directly stunned, but he didn't forget to stuff the letter in his hand into his sleeve, and before Erfu could ask, Yuqing had already wiped the tears on his face and trotted all the way to the direction of the carriage.

"Hey, hey, what are you looking at!" Erfu looked back at Yuqing stunned, and the steps under her feet also stopped, and the little eunuch who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to remind.

Erf also relieved herself, smiled apologetically, and hurriedly took two steps to catch up with the group. Erfu followed everyone and walked into the majestic palace gate step by step, listening to the sound of the door closing behind him, and turned back in a little panic.

When the palace gate slowly closed, Erfu only had time to look at the wide white marble bridge outside the Shenwu Gate and the Jingshan Mountain in the distance.

Compared with the towering Shenwu Gate, the Shunzhen Gate is a little shabby, and it is also a large and two small three doors, embedded in the long red palace wall.

A chief eunuch wearing a purple satin python robe, with his hand in a horseshoe sleeve, appeared next to the Shunzhen Gate.
