Chapter 743 Enter the Palace(6)_1
Noble Concubine Jin didn’t keep her waiting long. Shortly after she finished breakfast, Li Shanggong came personally to fetch her.
Upon hearing that someone from the palace had arrived, Lady Du was a bit anxious, fearing they would marry her daughter off somewhere else again for a marriage alliance.
Cai Wei gently consoled her for a long while, not until her worries subsided did she get into the carriage with Li Shanggong. They left the villa and headed straight for the palace...
Noble Concubine Jin resided in the Silk Garden, known also as the Silk Palace, which was the closest to the Emperor’s study. Of all the palaces, it had the best scenery, and was the most luxurious and grand.
Upon entering the Silk Palace, before Cai Wei had a chance to admire the palace’s pavilions, rare flowers, and exotic plants, she was drawn to a kneeling woman on the brick floor in front of the palace.
The woman was dressed like a palace concubine, her head slightly bowed. Though her face wasn’t visible, her extremely slim figure was apparent. Just from her willowy figure, it was clear she must be a ravishing beauty, even without seeing her face!
Behind the beauty, a row of palace maids and eunuchs kneeled in the sooty smoke. It seemed like these were the beauty’s attendants, kneeling with her to bow to Noble Concubine Jin.
Cai Wei cringed a bit, it seemed she had walked into an ongoing palace power struggle.
Taking short steps like a woman in the palace, she followed Li Shanggong. As they were passing by the beauty, the beauty suddenly raised her head, stopping Li Shanggong with a humble tone.
