Chapter 548 Prepared a New Year Gift for the Queen
The guards stood respectfully in front of the carriage and said in a loud and clear voice: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, the Emperor has ordered that your carriage can enter the palace directly."
When everyone in the carriage heard the news, they all showed joy on their faces, especially Sheng Zhen, who immediately ordered Qingfeng to drive the carriage into the palace.
This way, Sisi wouldn't have to walk in the cold weather and wouldn't have to worry about frostbite. He secretly sighed in his heart that his father was thoughtful.
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace, leaving a group of officials and their wives standing there looking at it with envy. The noble ladies in particular were filled with longing and yearning.
They secretly thought that if they could become the third prince's consort, they would be able to sit in a warm carriage now, avoiding the difficult journey in the cold wind and not getting cold.
This honor made them jealous, but they could only fantasize silently in their hearts. If these noble ladies knew that it was Zheng Sisi sitting in the carriage, they would probably feel more envy, jealousy and even resentment towards her.
Finally, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Today, the emperor specially held a banquet here and invited all the ministers to share the joy of reunion. The Hall of Supreme Harmony was brightly lit and the atmosphere was warm. Everyone gathered together to celebrate the festival.
It was still early. Since Zheng Sisi had arrived at the palace, she had to go to the harem to pay her respects to the queen. After all, the queen would become her mother-in-law in the future. Even if Sheng Zhen said that he didn't need to care and the emperor wouldn't complain about it, Zheng Sisi didn't want to be held responsible.
So, she carried the carefully prepared small box and led Rose and Lily slowly towards Kunning Palace. Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs came and went, very busy, but whenever they met Zheng Sisi, they would bow respectfully.
When they arrived in front of Kunning Palace, many noble ladies were already coming in and out. The maid at the door saw Zheng Sisi coming and immediately stepped forward to greet her warmly, "Your servant greets Princess Anping. Princess, please come in."
Now, Zheng Sisi's reputation spread far and wide, and she was highly valued by the emperor. Naturally, everyone dared not neglect her, and they all greeted her with smiles. Moreover, it was rumored that Princess Anping had extraordinary skills, so all the concubines in the harem were especially polite to her in order to continue to enjoy beauty services.
The maid led Zheng Sisi into the hall, which was suddenly filled with warmth. She looked around and saw the queen chatting with several court ladies in a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere.
When everyone saw Zheng Sisi come in, they all cast their eyes on her. After not seeing her for a while, they felt that Zheng Sisi had become more beautiful. Everyone wondered in their hearts: Doesn’t Princess Anping often go to the farm? How come she didn’t get tanned, but instead became more beautiful?
Zheng Sisi was wearing a lake blue dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem and a white belt tied around her waist, which made her look taller and slimmer. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and she wore a delicate hairpin on her head and light makeup on her face. She looked fresh and refined, like a fairy descending from heaven.
Zheng Sisi walked into the palace with a smile on her face, followed by two maids in light green palace dresses. She walked closer and bowed gracefully to the queen, while the two maids knelt on the ground and said in unison: "Anping (the servant) greets the queen, may the queen live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Zheng Sisi did not call her mother the queen. After all, it was just a marriage granted to her and they had not yet gotten married. Addressing her like this was in accordance with etiquette and would not cause criticism from others.
Everyone looked at the scene in front of them and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. They didn't expect that Zheng Sisi would bring two maids with her.
The queen was also slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Hurry up and give Princess Anping a seat."
A palace maid quickly brought a chair from the side and placed it closer to the queen. After thanking her, Zheng Sisi gracefully took a seat, while two maids stood behind her politely with their hands hanging down.
Sitting opposite Zheng Sisi were the Grand Princess and Princess Jiaoyang. Princess Jiaoyang had been holding a grudge since she suffered a loss last time, but unfortunately Zheng Sisi never participated in banquets held by various mansions, so she had no chance to get back at them.
Today, when she saw Zheng Sisi bringing two maids with her, she said provocatively, "Princess Anping is so arrogant. She brought two maids with her into the palace. Is she afraid of making a fool of herself because she has never seen the world, or is she ignoring the palace rules?"
Zheng Sisi ignored her. Was she the only one sober among so many people here? She jumped out before the queen said anything while sitting on the throne. What a brainless woman.
Zheng Sisi tugged at the hem of her skirt, then took out the small box she had brought with her, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Anping doesn't know what you like, so Anping prepared a New Year gift for you, I hope you like it."
