There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 504 (Second update)
Four carved drum stools are placed around the table.

There is also a chaise longue in front of the window, which is covered with wool felt blankets.

When Li Chang moved out yesterday, he only lost a broken broom, and the rest, even the feather duster.

And when she and Luo Cheng came to An'an, they only brought their clothes and an old quilt that was spread in the carriage.

There are a lot of items in this bedroom, and they are all brand new, better than those of the Lu family.

Obviously, the two brothers Zhao Cong and Zhao Gui were worried about her arrival.

Since she was Zhao Cong's adoptive mother in name, Li Jiaoniang didn't want to embarrass Zhao Cong. She took a gorgeous dress from the closet to wear, and took out a purple fox cloak, ready to wear it when she went out.

There is a fine bronze mirror on the dressing table.

Li Jiaoniang took out the jewelry that Zhao Cong bought for her in Yuezhou City, and picked out a beautiful pearl hairpin.

Today she's going to wear a gorgeous lady's bun.

She doesn't know how to comb, so I'll ask Mrs. Tian to do it for me later.

Not long after, Lady Tian came in with hot water.

After Li Jiaoniang washed, she asked Mrs. Tian to do her a beautiful bun.

After putting on the pearl head mask, Mrs. Tian secretly praised, this Mrs. Li's appearance is really beautiful.

No, where did you see this look?

She looked at Li Jiaoniang in the mirror, and the more she looked, the more surprised she became.

However, the first time they met, the relationship was not deep, so she didn't dare to ask more.

After freshening up, Li Jiaoniang led Lady Tian to the main room.

Under the eaves at the entrance of the main house, Juan was sitting looking at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard.

Seeing Li Jiaoniang approaching, Hu An immediately stood up with a smile, "Morning lady."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and nodded, "Why are you sitting outside? Where's your master?"

"I was talking to people in the main hall, but the master told me to sit outside and wouldn't let me listen." Juan rubbed the back of his head, "I don't understand either."

Li Jiaoniang walked up to Hu An and said seriously, "Ju An, we are here in Lin'an, Xiao Cong'er, your master, um, maybe me, will discuss many important matters with others, but this important matter is You can't ask people to listen to it at will, so you have to ask someone to guard the door so that no one will disturb you. Do you understand?"

When Juan was in Yuezhou City, everyone didn't think of him as a coachman, and they talked about everything in the hospital openly.

But now that Juan has become a real coachman, Li Jiaoniang does not want this child to be lost.

Juan was careless, but he didn't care at all.

"Okay, Mistress, I will write it down." Juan said with a smile.

Li Jiaoniang nodded, "Okay, now you go to the door and ask inside, call Master, and ask him if I'm here, can I go in."

This early in the morning, if Juan is blocked from speaking, who will come?

Li Jiaoniang expressed curiosity.

Juan nodded, walked to the door, and asked loudly inside, "Master, my wife is here."

There was a moment of silence, and then Luo Cheng's voice said, "Please come in, mistress."

Hu An turned back and said, "Master, Master told you to go in."

He picked up the cotton curtain to block the wind, and Li Jiaoniang bent over and walked in.

However, Lady Tian, ​​who followed, did not follow.

She has been working as a servant since she was a child, and she knows the rules of the house well.

If the master speaks without permission to follow, the servant is not allowed to follow and listen.

Li Jiaoniang walked into the main hall, and when she saw the guests in the room, she was slightly taken aback.

Isn't this the servant next to Gaozong?
How did he get here?
Accompanied by Zhao Cong.

Seeing Li Jiaoniang approaching, the servant was also slightly taken aback, stood up and gave Li Jiaoniang his hands, and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Li."

Li Jiaoniang nodded with a smile, "I heard that there is a guest, I wonder who it is, so it is Master Ji."

"I don't dare to be an adult. Our family is just a servant." Jichang said modestly.

Zhao Cong came over and moved the chair for Li Jiaoniang, "Mom, sit down."

This kindness caused Ji Chang to narrow his eyes slightly.

Li Jiaoniang sat down and asked with a smile, "Master Ji, we just moved here last night, why did Master Ji come here? Your ability to inquire about news is really amazing."

Ji Chang smiled and said, "How can our family have the ability? There is no time to wait on the official family. The official family heard that Xuan Delang was arranging carriages and horses, and said that he would come here for a while. The official family guessed that it was His Highness who came. It's Ancheng. No, I asked our family to come and take His Highness into the palace. The official family hasn't seen His Highness for a few days, and I'm worried about it."

Li Jiaoniang said, "I see."

In her heart, she was worried about Zhao Cong just like an old mother worried about her young son.

What should she think of to follow her into the palace?
At this time, I heard Zhao Cong say, "Master Ji, wait a moment, I will enter the palace as soon as I am ready."

"Yes, it should." Ji Chang said.

"I want to bring my adoptive mother into the palace, Mr. Ji, is it okay?" Zhao Cong said again.

Jichang blinked and said with a smile, "The officials didn't say that Lady Li would not be allowed to enter the palace."

Zhao Cong breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay."

Luo Cheng called Juan to come in, served Jichang to have tea and waited.

The three of them went to the outer bedroom of the east wing.

Lady Tian put the breakfast here.

Even if you're going to enter the palace, you can't go there hungry. God knows how many things you have to say in the palace?How many people do you want to meet?

Li Jiaoniang didn't care whether Jichang waited long or not, she just had breakfast with Zhao Cong.

Luo Cheng was by the side.

He told Li Jiaoniang and Zhao Cong, "When you enter the palace, look more and talk less."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Understood, I'm not a child."

Luo Cheng said to Zhao Cong again, "You are familiar with the palace, remember to protect your mother well."

Zhao Cong immediately puffed up his chest and replied seriously, "Don't worry, Dad, I will send mother back safely."

……

After breakfast, Juan drove the carriage, carrying Li Jiaoniang, Zhao Cong, Huzi and Lady Tian, ​​and followed Jichang to the palace.

The imperial palace in Lin'an City does not have a specific palace city like the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The people could not enter the palace walls, and the people in the palace could not leave the palace at will.

The palace guards guarded several city gates and were heavily guarded.

Separate the residence of the royal family from the homes of ordinary people.

At this time, the imperial palace had no palace walls, but only attics or houses gathered in one place, and the common people used to call it the imperial palace.

To put it bluntly, it is just a larger family.

There are also guards, which are not so strict, but the common people consciously do not approach.

The emperor's arrogance is not like that of later generations, and it is daunting to see.

Except for formal palace banquets or meeting foreign envoys, they call themselves "Zhen" in a serious manner, and usually they call themselves "I" or "Wu".

When meeting the emperor, there is no need to kneel and salute, which is the etiquette of the Qing Dynasty.

This made Li Jiaoniang very satisfied.

She doesn't like kneeling back and forth, she just kneels to the sky and kneels to her ancestors.

Kneeling other people, why?
The carriage was walking, and suddenly stopped.

Outside the car, Ji Chang said, "Your Highness, Mrs. Li, has arrived at the palace of the official family."

Li Jiaoniang lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the carriage parked in front of an archway.

Among the green trees in the archway, there are carved railings, painted buildings, pavilions and pavilions.

Jichang had already got off the sedan chair, and was talking with Xuan Delang Zhao Gui who was standing at the gate of the archway.

Zhao Gui looked excited and strode to the carriage.

"Second brother..."

Zhao Cong looked out the car window, concealed his excitement, and called softly, "Brother."

"I couldn't see you last night because of something. How have you been all this way?" Zhao Gui stretched out his hand and held Zhao Cong's hand tightly through the window of the carriage, his eyes flickering.

If it weren't for the presence of other people, the two brothers would have cried bitterly while hugging each other.

Zhao Cong smiled and nodded, "Very well, father and mother have taken good care of me."

"That's good." Zhao Gui breathed a sigh of relief, looked into the car again, and bowed deeply to Li Jiaoniang, "Miss Li, you have worked hard."

"Mr. Xuande is polite, there is no need to be polite." Li Jiaoniang smiled slightly, supported by Mrs. Tian, ​​and got out of the carriage.

Then came Zhao Cong and Hu Zi.

Huzi was reminded by Li Jiaoniang that he had to raise his heart to protect Zhao Cong's safety.

He has been working in the tavern for many years, and Li Jiaoniang is assured of his ability to observe words and demeanor.

His character is very suitable to be Zhao Cong's follower.

"Your Highness, Lady Li, please come with our house." Ji Chang led the way and led everyone into the gate of the archway.

Juan, guarding the carriage, failed to follow.

But he didn't care, he was very satisfied to be able to come to Ancheng to see the excitement of the big place.

Winding all the way between pavilions and pavilions.

As Li Jiaoniang walked, she memorized the route.

In fact, she is not worried about getting lost, there is a guiding pendant hanging on her calf.

The gray ball of fur was clutching at her calf trousers, following her invisibly, hidden by the long, wide hem of her skirt, so no one could see it.

Zhao Gui and Zhao Cong walked in front side by side, whispering their parting feelings while walking.

Huzi followed Zhao Cong.

Jichang walked in the front and led the way.

Li Jiaoniang and Tian Niangzi walked last.

A group of people walked for a while, and when they reached a verandah, they met a noble lady.

The woman was in her thirties, graceful and luxurious, and the two maids who followed her were also well-dressed, more expensive than Mrs. Tian.

It can be seen that the status is not low.

Ji Chang greeted first, "Mrs. Hengyang."

Zhao Cong and Zhao Gui also greeted each other.

After hearing this name too much, Li Jiaoniang looked up at the woman out of curiosity after saluting.

Seeing this, she was so scared that she stopped breathing.

This woman looks so much like her!

No wonder Mrs. Zhuang asked her repeatedly if she knew Mrs. Hengyang.
