Baby brings his own shopping mall to travel through

Some people even come here early before dawn to wait, but due to their low status, they can only watch those dignitaries enter the palace gate one by one, while they may have to wait until the last to step into this palace that symbolizes supreme power and glory.

According to the traditional order of hierarchy, although the Yang family had a close relationship with the Zheng family, their status was different after all, and they could not enter the palace with Old Madam Zheng.

However, if Madam Zheng personally invited the Yang family to enter the palace with her, the guards in charge of the inspection would naturally not dare to say anything to stop them. They would let them go as long as they confirmed that they were not carrying any prohibited items.

At this moment, Old Lady Yang, along with Li and Xiao Cao'er, followed Old Lady Zheng and her group silently, feeling both excited and nervous, not knowing what would happen next...

Before entering the palace, everyone would lower their voices and whisper to each other, discussing various topics, and the atmosphere was relaxed and casual.

However, the moment they entered the palace, everyone seemed to have a telepathic connection and they all closed their lips at the same time, not saying a word.

Old Madam Yang and Mrs. Li followed Old Madam Zheng closely, also remaining silent, not even daring to look around, for fear of violating the taboos in the palace.

After all, this entry into the palace is no trivial matter, and any carelessness could lead to trouble.

Fortunately, Madam Zhao accompanied them. Before they left, Madam Zhao had explained the general rules of the palace to Old Lady Yang and Li in detail. She especially emphasized many precautions for the two of them to prevent them from making mistakes due to ignorance.

It is worth mentioning that Xiao Cao'er was not completely unfamiliar with entering the palace. She had been there once before, and she had watched a lot of palace dramas in her previous life, so she knew a little about the etiquette and rules of the palace. Therefore, in comparison, she seemed relatively calm.

The palace attendant who was in charge of leading the group first glanced at the visitors who had just entered the palace, then smiled friendly and motioned Madam Zheng to go to the other side. Obviously, Madam Zheng had a high status and should go to where the Empress Dowager or the Empress was to wait for an audience. She could only be summoned when the two nobles were free.

As for Old Lady Yang and the others, they were arranged to wait in another place for the palace banquet to officially begin. This obvious difference in treatment fully demonstrated the differences in status between different people.

Old Lady Yang and her group seemed a little uneasy because they knew almost no one here. When they walked into the room, the people around them just glanced at them casually, and no one took the initiative to greet them.

Xiao Cao'er looked around, then quickly found a relatively sparsely populated corner, and pulled Old Lady Yang and the others to sit down together.

Since she entered the room, Old Lady Yang has been looking around inconspicuously and carefully, observing every move of everyone in the room.

She found that everyone was talking in low voices and the atmosphere was quite relaxed, so her tense nerves gradually relaxed.

Old Lady Yang whispered to Mrs. Li beside her, "Oh my, I was so nervous on the way! I didn't even dare to breathe."

Li nodded in agreement, "That's right. Even though it's freezing cold, my palms are full of sweat."

At this time, Xiao Cao'er gently comforted the two elders: "Don't worry too much, we just came in, and it will be a long time before the banquet officially starts. Relax. Besides, you may be able to see Master Qi, Madam Qi, or even the Emperor and Empress later!"

Hearing this, Old Lady Yang asked curiously, "We have met Master Qi and Madam Qi a few times, but the Emperor and the Empress... Xiao Cao'er, have you ever met them?"

Xiao Caoer smiled and replied, "Well, I was lucky enough to see it once."

That was the time when the little princess was in trouble and I saw her when I was escorting her back.

"Is he like what is described in the drama, domineering, wise and brave?" Li asked curiously.

After hearing this, Xiao Cao thought about it and the emperor's face appeared in her mind. Thinking carefully, the emperor's appearance was indeed somewhat similar to Qi Xingyun.

He looked to be in his twenties, in the prime of his life. Perhaps because Qi Xingyun was present at the time, the emperor seemed quite gentle and amiable.

At this moment, Xiao Cao'er and everyone else took a few sips of the fragrant tea in their hands. Suddenly, a nanny in dark blue palace dress walked into the room.

Seeing this, all the ladies and wives present stood up and prepared to salute the maid. However, before they could make any move, they saw the maid walking quickly towards Old Lady Yang and the people around her.

When she came closer, the nanny bowed respectfully first, then said softly: "Greetings to Old Madam Yang, Madam Yang, and Miss."

Xiao Cao'er, Old Lady Yang, and Li looked carefully and immediately recognized that the person in front of them was the nanny who came to the house to pick up vegetables two days ago. So the three of them hurriedly returned the greeting and said in unison, "Hello, nanny."
