Chapter 133: Be Careful When You Go Out
Since Emperor Yong’an sent him to welcome Xie Yanghui personally, Qiu Yuanbo couldn’t be careless. He checked his clothes, dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, and then walked to Xie Yanghui with a smile.
Soon, he stood in front of Xie Yanghui, bowed slightly, and said, "I have met Xie Guogong. His Majesty sent me to welcome you."
Xie Yanghui dismounted and handed over the horse to a young eunuch. Then, he cupped his fists and said, "Then I will trouble Qiu Gong Gong to lead the way."
Qiu Yuanbo took a step aside, avoiding Xie Yanghui’s salute. He made an invitation gesture and said, "This is what I should do. Xie Guogong, please."
"Qiu Gong Gong, please." Xie Yanghui said politely.
Xie Yanghui and Qiu Yuanbo walked side by side and entered the palace through the minor gate of Wu Men Gate. After the two left with a group of maidservants and eunuchs, the people outside began to whisper, speculating on what he would receive as a reward from Emperor Yong’an.
After walking for a long time, the two finally arrived at Qian Qing Palace, where tonight’s banquet was held. Qiu Yuanbo stopped in front of the long staircase leading up to the main entrance of the Qian Qing Palace and said, "Xie Guogong, I can only send you here. I need to go back to serve the Emperor."
Xie Yanghui clasped his fists and said, "Qiu Gong Gong, please walk slowly."
Qiu Yuanbo bowed slightly to him and then left with a group of eunuchs and maidservants. After Qiu Yuanbo left, Xie Yanghui climbed up the long stairs. When he walked into the majestic and luxurious Qian Qing Palace, many people were already sitting in their seats.
