Chapter 232 Yuzu Enters the Palace
Chapter 232 Yuzu Enters the Palace
When Shen You arrived at the palace, she remembered that she was just a hollow princess who was forced into the palace.
She had only been to the palace a few times, and the guards were always replaced, so they didn't recognize her at all.
In addition, on weekdays, Shen You was not willing to dress as magnificently as the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. At most, she would wear a few silver bells and that would be considered her careful dressing.
The guard looked at Shen You's delicate and pretty appearance and felt a little hesitant.
"I really am a princess, why don't you believe me?"
Shen You was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"We are following the rules. You said you are Her Royal Highness the Princess, but do you have any proof?" the guard said sternly.
Shen You smiled bitterly: "Why don't you call His Majesty out and let him see if I am the princess he personally appointed?"
"..."
Upon hearing this, the guards wanted to capture Shen You. Shen You prepared to gather his strength to fight them. Since he couldn't rush in, he would just make a big deal out of it and call in a few people in higher positions.
There were a few mocking voices behind him. Shen You looked back and saw Song Lingyu standing beside the carriage with a sly smile on his face, watching Shen You's show.
Today, Song Lingyu wore a royal blue robe with purple wisteria brocade pattern, a white jade hairpin with cloud pattern, a double-ring jade pendant, and a dark green ring on his thumb. He looked so rich and gorgeous, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was a prince.
"I never thought you would have this day." Song Lingyu felt that he had finally gotten rid of the anger he had been holding on the road.
Shen You rolled her eyes and called out tenderly, "Brother Huang, you are finally here. You'er would have waited here for as long as the seas ran dry and the rocks crumbled."
Song Lingyu didn't know what was wrong with Shen You. She said something so disgusting: "Shen You, you took the wrong medicine."
Song Lingyu still remembered that although the main source of firepower on the road was the girl named Zhou Ning, his imperial sister could not be described as delicate.
What is going on now?
Shen You grabbed the corner of her clothes and pretended to be coquettish: "Well, I'm going to enter the palace."
Oh, I made myself sick.
Song Lingyu swallowed his saliva. Seeing Shen You like this, he still felt a little scared.
"You, you come in."
She is a princess, what does she need to report to me when entering the palace?
Shen You immediately turned around and said to the guards: "See, I really am a princess."
The guards asked Song Lingyu: "Your Highness, this..."
Is she really the graceful, beautiful and generous princess as described in the legend?
Why is there such a big gap?
Song Lingyu didn't want to admit it, but still nodded and said, "Yes, she is the princess."
Seeing the guard's indescribable expression, Song Lingyu felt that he was also wronged.
My God, if I had a choice, I wouldn’t want a royal sister like this.
"Your Highness, please come in. We were blind just now. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
The guards apologized.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
As Shen You spoke, she lifted her skirt and ran into the palace. Song Lingyu chased after Shen You and shouted, "You can't run in the palace. Don't run, you damn child."
Song Lingyu ran to chase Shen You.
Song Lingyu's followers and guards were left looking at each other.
Song Lingyu had longer legs, so it didn't take long for him to catch up with Shen You. He grabbed her and said breathlessly, "What are you doing? The palace has its own rules. Don't you know that?"
Shen You said anxiously: "I know, I have something urgent to do."
Seeing Shen You's legs trembling and her face in a hurry, Song Lingyu looked at Shen You with a puzzled look and asked, "Are you going to the bathroom?"
"What palace are you leaving? Didn't I just come in? I won't tell you anymore. I want to see His Majesty. I'm very anxious. Don't stop me, or I will fight you to the death." Shen You waved his little fist, pretending to hit Song Lingyu.
Song Lingyu really didn't dare to stop Shen You. This girl really knew martial arts, and she really would beat people if she said she would.
Song Lingyu loosened his grip and let Shen You run away.
Shen You trotted all the way to the Qinzheng Hall. Everyone there knew her and no one tried to stop her.
Arriving at the Qinzheng Palace, Shen You changed from jogging to walking briskly and ran into Eunuch Shi.
"Princess, why are you here?" asked the eunuch Shi.
The imperial edict was delivered to this prince by the eunuch Shi himself, so it can be said that the two of them had a deep bond.
Shen You grabbed Shi Nei Shi and said, "Sister Awan, my sister-in-law has been taken away by the officials. Can you help me inform His Majesty?"
Shi Nei Shi asked in a shrill voice: "Captured? What's going on?"
Shi Nei Shi has now become the chief eunuch beside the emperor. He is a shrewd man, so he can naturally weigh Zhou Wan's importance.
Zhou Wan is the granddaughter of the Su family, the daughter of Cui Zhien, and the sister-in-law of the princess. All these combined make her comparable to the daughter of a prime minister.
"Don't panic, I will inform you right away."
After Eunuch Shi went in, he heard the sound of a teacup breaking. After a while, he came out with a head full of tea leaves, looking disheveled.
"Princess, His Majesty is in a bad mood. You have to be careful when you go in. It's okay for me to be affected, but you are a precious girl, so please take care of yourself." Eunuch Shi said this sincerely, but in fact he was afraid that Shen You would say something wrong and make the emperor even angrier.
Shen You said thank you and rushed in immediately.
As soon as Shen You entered the room and saw the bright yellow clothes, he said nothing, but knelt on the ground, crying and shouting, "Father, You'er has been bullied."
Shen Lin was surprised.
It’s true that Shen You is a princess, and it’s also true that she calls him father.
But... I always feel like something is weird.
Didn’t you always follow those guys and call him “Your Majesty” before?
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?" Shen Lin looked at Shen You's face which was similar to Bai Li, and couldn't help but soften his temper and asked in a gentle voice.
Shen You cried, "Today, a woman came to my door and insisted that she was pregnant with my eldest brother's child. She wanted our family to give her a legitimate status, and then... she died while making a fuss. Almost at the same time, the officials came and took my sister Awan away without listening to her explanation. Originally, You'er didn't want to trouble His Majesty, but sister Awan was still pregnant, and You'er was really worried that something might happen to her."
Shen Lin frowned. Although he could not rule out the possibility that Shen Zhong was really showing mercy, it was just too coincidental that the official arrived.
"You want me to save your sister Awan?" Shen Lin said in embarrassment, "Shuntian Prefecture has its own rules. I can't break the rules for this."
He is the new emperor, and he must not overstep the line in what he says or does, otherwise he will be criticized to death by the censors in the court.
Shen You thought to herself, as expected, mere emotional appeals couldn't impress him.
"Father, Ah Ning and I are usually very careful with our words and actions, and we have never had any enemies. Now that man is clearly trying to mess with our family. Who do you think he is going to fight against?"
Shen You continued, "I am a princess appointed by my father himself, and my eldest brother is also a disciple of the emperor. It can be said that our family all serves my father."
"Sister Awan and Ning have close ties with the Su, Cui, and Bai families. If something happens to Sister Awan, they will definitely become enemies with my family. At that time, you will be the one who will suffer the most."
