The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 3 Entering the Palace
As a time traveler, he did not have much respect for the imperial power itself, but only for the power of life and death behind the imperial power.

Therefore, as long as the lies will not be exposed, they will use the tiger's skin as a banner and pretend to be the name of the former emperor and speak freely.

Anyway, if there are too many lice, you don't have to worry about them biting you. This is not his first offense. Once something happens for the first time, it will happen countless times.

The opportunity was fleeting, and he couldn't pin his hopes on the emperor's curiosity. If he was delayed, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough later.

Seeing Zhang Yun逸 bring up the emperor's biological father, Jia Jing and Dai Quan looked at each other in surprise.

After a long silence, Jia Jingcai said, "Since the late emperor has instructed me to do so, I will leave this to my uncle. You should quickly follow Eunuch Dai into the palace to see the emperor!"

"This..." Dai Quan waved his hands and said, "How can this be possible? Lord Jing is his uncle and a witness. I think he should come with us into the palace. In case the emperor asks..."

"Forget it!" Jia Jing sighed, "I will go with you and ask for a good fortune from the emperor."

"Yes, yes, yes! The late emperor's spirit has appeared. This is a great joyous event." Dai Quan echoed and turned to Zhang Yunyi and said, "This can be considered a blessing in disguise for you."

Seeing that the two were convinced by him, Zhang Yunyi quickly stepped aside and bowed to let the two go first.

Seeing this, Jia Jing said in dissatisfaction: "Child, even though you have the emperor's order, you should still pay your respects to your father. Your uncle will have to tell the servants to go to the mansion to find your cousin Zhen to help. The car is parked at the entrance of the alley. After you pay your respects, you can come find me on your own."

"That's perfect! I'll ride with you in this icy and snowy weather."

"The carriage is a bit crude, I'm afraid that Eunuch Dai will have to squeeze in with him."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's snowing heavily, and it's good to have a shelter from the wind and snow."

Seeing the two of them walking away politely, Zhang Yunyi had no choice but to kowtow several times respectfully towards the courtyard.

If no one exposed him, he would be happy to pretend to be ignorant, but unfortunately, the opposite happened.

When they arrived at the entrance of the alley, they saw Jia Jing standing next to a two-wheeled carriage, waving away an old servant.

Looking at the receding figure, Zhang Yunyi smiled and said, "Uncle, could this be the loyal servant named Jiao? Mother often mentioned him when she was alive. I'm afraid he must be over 70 years old now, right?"

Jia Jing sighed, "Yes! He is indeed a bit old. If we call him out again, I am afraid people will accuse us of mistreating our loyal servant."

After helping Jia Jing get into the car, Zhang Yunyi finally understood what Jia Jing meant by "squeeze in".

This was originally a carriage for one person, so Dai Quan was not polite at all. He sat in the middle with his horse and sword in his hands, leaving only the seats by the windows on both sides for others.

Before he got on the car, he noticed that there was no Ning Mansion logo on the car, and the driver had been replaced by a young eunuch, which showed that Jia Jing only brought one driver.

He traveled with such a small group of people, as if he was afraid of being discovered, so he joked, "I only knew that my uncle was devoted to Taoism, but I didn't know he was like this..."

"That's right!" Dai Quan also complained, "Although you don't hold an official position and haven't inherited a title, you have made achievements after all. Who would say anything about riding in a sedan chair, let alone a carriage? Why treat yourself so harshly?"

In ancient times, unlike modern times, if you had money you could use anything you wanted, and everything would be regulated, otherwise it would be considered an overstep.

The sedan chair with four bearers that Dai Quan mentioned could only be ridden by officials of the third rank and above. However, this was only in the capital. Outside the capital, officials could ride in a sedan chair with eight bearers.

I thought Jia Jing would be humble, but unexpectedly, he said with shame on his face: "Eunuch Dai, please don't make fun of me. Although the emperor is magnanimous, my brother-in-law has offended the emperor after all..."

Seeing that he was very frank, Zhang Yunyi felt that he had some petty thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Uncle is right, the late emperor also reprimanded my nephew. The whole world belongs to the king. As the saying goes, eating the salary of the emperor, being loyal to the emperor, as a minister, I should share the worries of the emperor."

"Hahaha! Well said!" Dai Quan laughed. "You know when to advance and when to retreat. Your future is bound to be limitless."

"Thank you, eunuch!" Zhang Yunyi bowed slightly. Dai Quan leaned forward slightly and said, "Although there is an order from the late emperor, you have not been summoned, and you are in mourning. I am also worried about the consequences of bringing you into the palace without permission. If you only have some trivial things to say, I am afraid that you will anger the emperor, and I will also be implicated."

If it were an ordinary young man, he would have to reveal his true feelings. However, Zhang Yunyi had lived two lives, and was afraid that the message would lose its mystery, so he evaded the question by saying, "Don't worry, eunuch. The emperor will be very pleased to hear this. The late emperor ordered that this must be presented to the emperor in person, and I dare not go against his will."

"This..." Dai Quan seemed a little unwilling.

Jia Jing hurriedly smiled and stopped him, saying, "Eunuch Dai, please don't ask. Aren't you afraid of breaking a taboo?"

He turned to look at Zhang Yunyi and said, "It's amazing that you are so young and can still think about these things. But why don't you ask the late emperor about the person who hurt you? Even if your uncle wants to speak up for you, he has nowhere to start."

"Yes! Why didn't the late emperor tell you?" Dai Quan asked with a puzzled look on his face.

There is no such thing as a perfect lie. If you want people to believe it, you should never consider how much falsehood is mixed in your lie, but rather make it impossible for the other party to verify it.

As long as there is ambiguity, people will come up with ten thousand explanations.

Zhang Yun逸's lie was not only impossible to verify, but there was also subsequent evidence to support it, so he was not panicked at all.

He looked bewildered and said, "Now that you mentioned that, uncle, I remember that when I was caught by the ghost, I kept begging the ghost to let me die with my eyes closed. The late emperor should have heard it at the time, but he didn't tell me. Why?"

Explanation is covering up. Only by letting the other party guess the result by themselves can you avoid being questioned.

Jia Jing was stunned at first, then he glanced at Dai Quan, as if he had thought of something, and said hurriedly: "How can we speculate on the late emperor's thoughts? There must be other deeper meanings, so don't think too much about it."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Dai Quan also echoed, and then threw his official uniform at Zhang Yun逸. He even lost the interest in talking, leaning against the car and fell into deep thought.

Of course mourning clothes could not be worn into the palace. Zhang Yunyi knew this very well, so he picked up the official uniform without hesitation.

But the moment she took off her mourning clothes, she couldn't hide her embarrassment.

The ancients valued the upper garment more than the lower garment, and underneath their gorgeous clothes they wore an embarrassing pair of open-crotch pants.

Moreover, these open-crotch pants are different from the ones tied around the waist in previous lives. Instead, they are trousers tied at the base of the thighs. This is also the origin of the word "danku".

This is also the reason why when Xiren was tying Jia Baoyu's belt for the first time, she touched his thighs instead of his waist.

After all, Zhang Changqing is a fifth-rank supervisor, and although Zhang Yun逸 is not a playboy, he is no exception.

Although, in his previous life, they had been frank with each other in the sauna, but now in the small carriage, there was a eunuch who looked neither male nor female, showing off in front of him, which inevitably made him feel uncomfortable.

However, no one was embarrassed and the emotion was fleeting.

Looking at the vigorous and youthful body, Zhang Yunyi was quite satisfied with this body he traveled through.

As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in. When a bird grows big, it needs a big enough forest to live in, right?
Although Jia Jing let him live in Ning Mansion out of the mentality of making a lot of money, he didn't mind accepting his favor. When the Jia family fell, he would have to lend a hand and gather... no, he would have to rescue those talented and poor women and be passionate about them.

As a modern person who is familiar with "Dream of Red Mansions", it is inevitable that I have a filter for those golden hairpins.

However, for now we have to develop slowly, step by step, and then proceed step by step.

After changing into his official uniform and carefully thinking over his speech for the meeting with the emperor, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.
