Section 1.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

The current emperor did not treat these princesses from neighboring countries with any special attention. After five days in the forbidden palace, there was no news or inquiries. Since it was a marriage alliance, there should have been a formal ceremony, but there was none. Up until now, Nonghua and Chiyin still bear the titles of their respective princesses, but they have no involvement in the affairs of the king and seem more like idle guests in the palace.

As the official in charge of the door and Shi Zhaozheng were talking, they saw her rush out of the door without knowing what had happened. Without saying a word, she lifted her skirt and ran into the rain, startling Shi Zhaozheng who quickly grabbed an umbrella and chased after her.

She fluttered her folding fan. Outside, the rain was pouring heavily, with such momentum that it seemed almost capable of penetrating the tiles. She casually glanced to the side and caught sight of Lu Ji's "Ping Fu Tie". She became so engrossed in reading it that she turned around and leaned against the bookshelf. Suddenly, her eyes caught a glimpse of a dark figure, which startled her.

As Nonghua looked at these eunuchs, their faces were filled with humility, but they did not appear fearful or restrained, so it seems that the emperor has not arrived yet. She nodded in gratitude, but when she entered the cabinet, she muttered to herself again. With such heavy rain, she wondered if he would come. If he doesn't come, it won't be a complete loss for her today. She has always loved books, and as she looked at the vast and towering bookshelves, she forgot her purpose for a moment and became overjoyed, rubbing her hands together and standing in the center of the room, not knowing where to start.

She was puzzled in her heart, took two steps back and squinted her eyes. It turned out to be a pair of black boots with drooping bootlegs, probably left there by a lazy little gatekeeper. Fortunately, she stumbled upon them. If the emperor tripped over them, who knows how many people would be unlucky. She nudged the boots with her toes, but it was too dark to see clearly. She kicked them together and hid them under the bookshelf, feeling pleased with herself for doing a good deed.

She was flustered and confused. His robe was a deep purple color, with faint clouds and dark flowers on his shoulders. Perhaps he was a eunuch like those known in the palace. He was getting closer and closer, and she was already backed against the wall, with no way out. How could there be such an impolite person in the palace? She shouted boldly, "I said not to come any closer, are you deaf? If you dare to be insolent again, I will report to the authorities and have you punished!"

She stood on the platform in front of the pavilion, watching the people of the Privy Council enter the Yifeng Pavilion. The crowd with high profits knelt down on the steps, kowtowing and accepting the imperial edict. Arong Nahm said hesitantly, "Why did they go there? What about us? What about our princess?"

As the crowd was feeling anxious, they saw someone rushing towards them from the Yongdao. He was quick-witted and quietly went to Yifeng Pavilion to inquire about the news. Songhua wanted to ask Chiyin Jin's position, but he quickly gestured and said, "The second imperial edict has been issued by the emperor..." Before he could finish his sentence, several people turned from the central road, with the leader holding the imperial edict high, and hurried towards Xiangluan Pavilion.

Most of the calligraphy and paintings here are unique copies. She searched for several years but couldn't find them. Unexpectedly, they were collected by the King of Dayue. For example, "The Collection of Divine Effects", Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies", and the Mahayana Buddhism's "Vimalakirti Sutra". She held them in her hands, constantly amazed, flipping through them and pondering. If she can't establish herself in this forbidden court in the future, then please let her guard the library! Even if she dies in the sea of books among the three libraries, it will be worth it. She held them in her hands, constantly amazed, flipping through them and pondering.

Spring Wo took off her spring clothes and asked, "What strange person? Haven't you seen the official family?"

She searched row by row, with palace lanterns hanging in the pavilion. Every ten steps, there was a lamp covered with a glass lampshade, not afraid of the wind blowing the wick and causing a fire. It's just that they were hung too high, forming blind spots in some places, with large shadows under the bookshelves, making it inconvenient to search at the bottom. She was thinking about coming back tomorrow during the day, taking a step forward, and accidentally kicked something, causing her to stumble.

Struggling to catch her breath, Nong Hua raised her head and said, "I am the Princess of Sui Kingdom, appointed to marry and serve the royal family. And who might you be? Playing tricks, acting arrogantly, do you have any respect for the law?"

The official in charge of the affairs inside the pavilion came out to greet with a long bow and a smile, saying "Greetings to the Princess! It doesn't matter that you didn't bring an umbrella, I have one here. I just didn't want to embarrass the Princess by sending her back in the rain. I'll go get the Princess's umbrella now."

Nonghua glanced up, feeling restless in her heart. This indicates that in order to get close to Yin Zhongyuan, she must exert a great deal of effort.

She widened her eyes and her face lost its color, but he looked very happy. Everything in this world can be disguised, except for the fear when one is in a desperate situation. He likes to see this expression because it is real. The more real, the more vivid. Such a beautiful face, such a graceful figure, when she first entered the palace, the wind blew her up as if she was about to ascend to the ninth heaven. And there is this flower hairpin that seems to be fluttering, imprinted on her jade-like forehead, with countless charms, arousing people's imagination.

"Is that true?" Chun Wo asked in surprise, "Did you call for help? Such a lunatic should be caught."

Upon hearing Cui Zhuting mention the "Inscription of the Hot Springs," Nong Hua couldn't help but feel regretful. He said that all existing copies were reproductions and he didn't know if the original still existed. With so many collections here, perhaps it's possible to find it, but it's uncertain.

Who are you? She took a step back and asked, "Why are you wearing a mask? Stay where you are, don't come any closer."

The emperor is the ruler with great power, the master of this forbidden court. I am in the palace, how can I have nothing to do with it? His finger traced from the corner of her mouth, along the graceful curve of her slender neck, all the way to her shoulder. She was dressed in a delicate silk gown of jade swirl color, truly a woman who knows how to dress, with no unnecessary embellishments, only a pair of deep black eyes, enough to take one's breath away.

That was a man, with a strong and tall figure. He didn't listen to her shouting and approached step by step with his hands behind his back. It was only when Songhua saw that he was wearing only a pair of white silk socks on his feet that she realized the boots were his. It seemed that he had been there for a while.

However, she was unwilling to be offended like this. Despite appearing delicate, she suddenly burst out with astonishing strength. She forcefully pushed him away and clenched her fists, saying, "That's right, I am here to marry into the royal family and ensure the peace of Dasui and Dayue. Who are you, a thief who dares not show your true face and resorts to violence? What are your intentions?" She was fierce with her words, but her heart was filled with fear. As she spoke, she retreated and created some distance, ultimately fleeing in disarray.
