Chapter 451 - 448: Entering the Palace_1
The five carriages, escorted by imperial guards, had an impressive display... far exceeding her grandmother, the Eldest Princess.
"His Majesty specially sent this old servant to escort the Princess of Zhen and the Lord of Gaoyi into the palace!" Gao Demao stepped forward with a smile, saluting as he spoke.
"Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Gao!" Bai Qingyan nodded to Gao Demao.
Bai Jinzhi, closely following behind Bai Qingyan, lowered her voice as soon as they boarded the carriage: "The Emperor actually sent Eunuch Gao to escort us!"
Bai Qingyan smiled without responding.
She looked through the windswept carriage curtains, seeing the guards holding back the Bai family on both sides of the road to allow the carriage to pass.
The more the Emperor put on a grand show, the fewer tangible rewards she and Bai Jinzhi would receive later.
"When we see the Emperor, we should ask for more practical things!" Bai Qingyan advised Bai Jinzhi, "The more gold and silver we have, the more soldiers we can gather to fight the bandits in the future."
