Chapter 162 Leaving the Palace
"Cui'er, take me out of the palace now." Since this person has entered the palace, Wu Qing feels that she should go out and hide.
"Leave the palace?!" He Cui was shocked.
Wu Qing patted her waist and said, "I just got this sign today, let's use it."
He Cui was still a little confused and thought she understood, so she asked, "Oh! Try not to let anyone see it?"
Wu Qing waved her hands quickly and pointed at the badge on her waist again, "I just got it, let's use it right away."
He Cui understood now. Wu Qing had just obtained a pass to go out of the palace on business, and she could leave the palace every five or ten days, so today was the perfect day for her to use.
Although He Cui took Wu Qing in a legitimate way, they took many detours. When they finally saw the palace gate, Wu Qing could no longer tell the directions.
"What kind of door is this?" Wu Qing looked up and looked at the tall palace gate.
"The North Gate, the Beichen Gongwei Gate. We can only enter and exit the palace through this gate, but this is my first time leaving the palace since I entered." Although He Cui spoke in a low voice, her excitement was visibly evident.
As they reached the palace gate, Wu Qing suddenly remembered something, but it was difficult to turn back now. She asked quietly, "Did you bring the silver?"
The two of them decided to leave the palace on a whim. Wu Qing had no use for money in the palace and had no habit of carrying silver with her. If they left the palace without silver, wouldn't the two of them be unable to move forward?
He Cui took out two purses from her sleeves, "I usually keep them for rewarding people, and my sister needs them."
Wu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. With He Cui around, she had nothing to worry about. She waved her hand and said, "No, no, it's just right to leave it with you. It's just that I left the palace suddenly, and I thought I didn't have any money with me."
The two hired a carriage and found a restaurant that looked larger. Wu Qing ordered two dishes.
Firstly, He Cui and I had almost eaten all the food in the palace and were hungry.
Secondly, it was to investigate the market and see what seasonings were used in cooking outside the palace.
After tasting it, Wu Qing had a rough idea in her mind. She talked with the waiter and found that as she expected, there were no dishes made with soybean paste.
It’s a pity that I left in a hurry today and didn’t bring any soybean paste with me.
Hey?! Feng Shoutian and his family live on a farm outside the city. Why don't we go get some jars of soybean paste and try to sell them?
Wu Qing chatted with the hired driver and concluded that if he left the city now and went to the farm in the south and came back, he would definitely be back before the city gate was locked. However, if he was delayed in doing things, he would probably just be able to get back to the city.
Wu Qing hesitated for only a moment before calling out to He Cui to jump into the carriage and tell the driver, "Let's go out the South Gate. We have to be back in the city tonight, so please hurry."
The driver responded, and soon the already slow speed slowed down even more.
Wu Qing asked in the car: "Why are you slowing down?"
The driver replied in a simple and honest voice: "We are in a crowded place now, so we can't go any faster. But don't worry, my lord, I have a plan."
If there is a calculation, then the time spent slowing down here is also taken into account. In this case, Wu Qing felt relieved.
He lifted the curtain of the car window on his side and looked out, and He Cui also stretched her head out to look curiously.
"Sister, look!" He Cui found a familiar figure and pointed it to Wu Qing.
Wu Qing looked in the direction He Cui pointed and asked quietly, "Is that Chunying?"
He Cui nodded, "Definitely."
Wu Qing understood that this person also had the authority to leave the palace. It seemed that he was doing work for the empress dowager, but it was not easy to greet him because he was far away.
Sure enough, after passing a crowded section of road, the driver drove a little faster, but still not very fast.
When they reached the city gate, they saw quite a crowd of people, for some unknown reason. The driver looked around and said in embarrassment, "I don't know why they're checking everyone in and out. I don't know how long this will take."
That was not the time planned. Wu Qing took off her badge and said to He Cui, "Go and give it a try. Show this to the person at the gate and see if they can let us go first."
He Cui jumped out of the car, walked through the crowd, and squeezed in front of the soldiers guarding the city. She waved the sign in her hand and said seriously, "Call the highest-ranking official among you."
The soldier guarding the city took a look at the sign and couldn't figure out what it was used for, but he thought that anyone in the capital who could produce a sign was not someone he could afford to offend, so he hurriedly called for help.
The captain of the city guard came over and was stunned when he saw the words on the sign. "This..." He didn't know how to address her, but he heard that those who could go out of the palace to do business should be called "Auntie". Looking at the car that He Cui pointed at, he said, "Auntie, this is not a palace car!"
He Cui said with a serious face: "I'm not your aunt, your aunt is still in the car, go over and talk!"
The captain hurriedly followed He Cui to the car. It was only a few steps away. He also figured it out. As long as the brand was right, it was fine. It was not his business to decide what kind of car other people used.
When the captain reached the car and bowed, he changed his question to: "Excuse me, Auntie is leaving the city now, but will she be back later?"
Wu Qing didn't understand what this question meant, but after thinking about it, there were only two reasons. One was that people in the palace could not return late after leaving the city, and the other was that it would be more convenient for them to come back later.
She felt the latter possibility was more likely, so she said, "I will try my best to get back before the city gates close."
He Cui jumped onto the shaft of the carriage but did not go into the carriage.
The captain nodded and said, "My last name is Qiu, and I'm the captain on duty tonight. If you come back late, just knock on the gate at the foot of the city."
Wu Qing opened the car curtain and nodded to Captain Qiu, accepting his kindness and letting him recognize her face. She would have to check the person when she came back to open the door at night. "Thank you, Captain Qiu. My last name is Wu. Now..." She pointed to the queue at the city gate.
Captain Qiu immediately waved his hand and shouted to the gatekeeper, "Make way, make way!"
The railings blocking the city gate were immediately removed, and Captain Qiu said, "Aunt Wu, please."
Wu Qing's carriage left the city smoothly.
The coachman, who had been silent just now, smiled innocently, "I see that you two are well-dressed. I guess you are working for the palace."
Wu Qing asked He Cui, "Isn't Cui'er coming in?"
He Cui turned around and smiled, "Sister, Cui'er can drive a carriage, do you believe it?"
Wu Qing was really surprised, "Really?"
He Cui giggled, "Of course it's true, I knew it before I was ten." Her eyes were fixed on the whip in the driver's hand.
The driver looked at the road ahead, which was quite smooth, and he wasn't afraid of driving the carriage into a ditch. "Would you like to give it a try, sir?"
He Cui nodded, took the reins and whip, flicked the whip, and actually got on the carriage.
Helian Han's farm in the south of the city was not far from the capital, and since He Cui's car drove fast, they arrived in less than an hour after leaving the city.
The gatekeeper saw that it was an unfamiliar carriage and a strange face, so he stopped the car and said, "This is the royal estate, you are not allowed to trespass..."
