Chapter 771: Chapter 771 There Are Many Rules in the Imperial Palace Chapter 771: Chapter 771 There Are Many Rules in the Imperial Palace Xuexue glanced towards the busiest part of the Imperial Palace entrance and spoke lightly, “Father, Second Miss is over there, isn’t she?”

Following her gaze, Situ Yongjie saw, indeed, that Situtu Qinger was happily chatting and laughing with a group of noble ladies. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying herself.

“This girl is too unreasonable, how can she just leave you here by yourself and go off to chat with acquaintances?”

Situ Yongjie looked displeased, but nevertheless, he handed the token he was holding to Xuexue: “Father has to go back for some matters, after staying for a while, you hand the token over to Qinger. With it, you both can freely enter and exit the Imperial Palace.”

“The token should stay with Second Miss, I have an invitation.” Xuexue raised the invitation she held in her hand.

“Deal with it as you see fit, it’s for both of you sisters anyway.” After explaining, Situ Yongjie mounted his fast horse and galloped away.

Just then, Situtu Qinger turned her head and saw her father’s retreating figure. She quickly greeted everyone and walked back.

“Elder sister, did Father bring the token?”

“Yes!” Xuexue handed over the token she was holding and said, “This is the token Father obtained from the War Prince’s Mansion.”

On hearing ‘War Prince’s Mansion,’ Situtu Qinger’s hand trembled slightly, though it was not obvious, Xuexue caught it clearly.

Xuexue knew very well that Situtu Qinger had great ambitions and the title of Princess Consort of the War Prince was far beneath her, furthermore, the War Prince had no such intentions, only suggesting her to be a concubine, which she was even more reluctant and dissatisfied with.

“Second Miss, I hear that in a few days you will become a concubine to the War Prince. Congratulations for matching with a powerful War Prince.”

Situtu Qinger’s face stiffened for a moment, “Elder sister, don’t spread rumors about things that aren’t confirmed.”

She had come today to find a wealthy husband, and she couldn’t let this spoil her reputation.

Xuexue: “Whether Elder Sister is talking nonsense, Second Miss knows it best.”

Situtu Qinger’s expression darkened immediately: “Elder sister, since I’ve met good sisters, I’ll not enter the palace with you.”

With that, she turned and walked towards the group of noble ladies.

That was truly an act of crossing the river by dismantling the bridge.

As soon as she got the palace entry token, she turned her face.

Zi Xia looked at Situtu Qinger’s retreating figure and angrily said, “Miss, look at Second Miss, isn’t she just so annoying!”

Facing the candid Zi Xia, Xuexue laughed, “Yes, she is indeed annoying.”

“We’re strangers in a strange land, what should we do?”

“In the Imperial Palace, who has acquaintances! Don’t worry, we’ll just follow the crowd in, we are strangers, and so is everyone else.”

At the entrance of the Imperial Palace, people were continuously entering, with Xuexue among them.

After entering through the grand gates of the Imperial Palace, she saw the broad and seemingly endless road ahead.

Xuexue felt overwhelmed.

This long road, she couldn’t possibly be expected to walk it all by herself, could she? While she was lost in her thoughts, a dozen eunuchs, carrying several beautiful sedans, arrived at the entrance, and said in a high-pitched voice to the noble ladies entering the palace, “Honored young ladies, welcome to the Imperial Palace, by the order of the Empress Dowager, we are specially here to escort all the young ladies into the palace.”

Everyone sighed with relief.

So there were sedans to ride, no need to walk. That was indeed wonderful.

They had spent years confined to their mansions, seldom even going to the streets, how could they have the strength to walk such a long journey? Now knowing there were sedans to sit in, they would have been surprised if they were not pleased!

Xuexue entered one of the sedans, with Zi Xia following behind.

In the Imperial Palace, there were many rules, and servants were not allowed to ride in sedans, so she had to follow behind.
