Chapter 21: Excuse me, who is coming?
What is Ning Chen doing?
Ning Chen is brushing his teeth, homemade toothbrush, simple, pig ~ hairy, brushing it with hair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Phew"
"Phew"
……
Early in the morning, Ning Chen squatted in front of the door very idly, brushing his teeth and spitting out the pig~ hair, extremely focused, and he didn't even know when the lime came.
"Whew"
Ning Chen whined, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Niang Niang is looking for you, come with me"
Lime didn't have time to talk nonsense, so he pulled Ning Chen and left.
Ning Chen was startled, and before he could drink saliva and rinse the green salt in his mouth, he was pulled away by the lime.
"Wait a minute, take a saliva"
"It's too late, it's time to drink"
“……”
Ning Chen was miserable in his heart, can it be the same as now for a while, if you have the ability, you can also try it with a mouthful of salt.
There are limes dragging it, and it is not close to the Yang Palace to the Heavenly Oracle Palace, but it is just the time to make tea.
On the way, Lime quickly told the situation in the hall, Ning Chen listened, and his heart was full of contempt for the behavior of the envoy of the True Extreme Kingdom, and it was strange that people were shameless to this extent.
In fact, the most difficult point of the problem of taking the needle in the oil pot is the person who takes the needle, before, the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom proposed that the candidate for the needle should be decided by the other party is also a reasonable request, but the monarch and ministers of Great Xia still underestimate the degree of shamelessness of the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom.
Now in the main hall, there are only five representatives of the True Polar Kingdom in total, and all of them are martial arts practitioners, how to choose Great Xia?
The eldest grandson also realized this and called Ning Chen to come over, if a martial artist has true qi to protect himself, it will not be a big problem to put his hand into the oil pot in a short time, in this way, Daxia will suffer too much in terms of candidates.
Ning Chen followed Lime to the back of the eldest grandson, whispered a few words quickly, and explained a few things.
"Is it feasible?" said the eldest grandson, slightly worried.
"Niangniang will know when you look at it" Ning Chen nodded and said softly.
"Lime, go and arrange"
The eldest grandson bowed his head slightly, and signaled, now it can only be like this, this first game, the best can win, and the worst will be a draw.
Lime heard what Ning Chen meant, and there were doubts between her eyebrows, but she still obeyed the order and went out to make arrangements.
His Royal Highness, all the ministers and the envoys of the True Pole Kingdom were already sitting on both sides, enjoying the food at the banquet while enjoying the songs and dances, and Ning Chen was jealous when he saw it.
He hadn't even finished brushing his teeth, let alone eating, and when he thought of this, he looked at the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom even more unpleasantly, revealing a slightly shy smile like his signature, and he had already greeted his whole family in his heart.
Suddenly, Ning Chen felt a gaze from the side, and when he looked back, he was startled.
Ten thousand... Wan Guifei!
Among the women Ning Chen has seen, if you talk about beauty, Du Chengxue and the Ninth Princess Xia Xinyu are definitely not inferior to anyone, in terms of dignified, the eldest grandson is naturally the best, even Lime, regardless of personal prejudice, is also a rare beautiful woman.
However, if compared to the charm of women, Wan Yunshang is definitely the most outstanding, with seven points of appearance and three points of charm, perfectly combined, and the whole face is a disaster.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the charm of the above people is not as good as Wan Yunsheng, the main thing is that the hard wounds in a certain aspect are too big and the points are seriously reduced, simply put, Du Chengxue is too cold, the ninth princess is too small, the lime is too fierce, and the eldest grandson is ...... I dare not comment on this.
Does it feel good to be stared at by a beautiful woman, if someone says yes at this time, Ning Chen must go up and slap him with a smile on his face.
Lowering his head again and again, Ning Chen secretly prayed that Wan Yunshang didn't recognize him, and on the first day he entered the palace, he offended this noble Concubine Wan Guifei, and he didn't seem to care about it at the time, who knows what he thought in his heart.
Fortunately, Wan Yunsheng's gaze only swept by, and he didn't stay for too long, which made Ning Chen breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body eased slightly.
Ning Chen didn't know that Wan Yunshang had almost forgotten the events of that day, however, when he saw him just now, he remembered again, who let him sit in front of him was the eldest grandson.
Wan Yunshang retracted his gaze, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and the smile was charming, swaying, making the hearts of several ministers who unconsciously looked at it beat hard.
The eldest grandson naturally noticed this glance, but he didn't say anything, quietly waiting for what Lime had prepared.
In this banquet where the princes gathered, the eunuch was the least noticed, even if someone saw that the little eunuch behind the queen mother was a little raw, they would not pay too much attention to it, after all, in the thousand-year history of Great Xia, the eunuch could never be the focus of everyone.
Emperor Xia's face is still calm, the majesty of the emperor is not angry and arrogant, he can protect such a large empire for nearly twenty years, if it is said that it is useless, I am afraid no one will believe it.
The eldest grandson had already sent someone to pass the wind with Emperor Xia last night, so the eldest grandson was the protagonist of today's affairs.
Emperor Xia is not in a hurry, waiting for the eldest grandson's arrangement, no one knows the eldest grandson's character better than him, if he is not 100% sure, he will never interfere.
The words sent by the eldest grandson last night were very simple, there was only one sentence, "In the first game, Daxia will not lose"
The meaning is obvious, either a draw or a win.
Emperor Xia thought that there would be no better result, so he let go and let the eldest grandson arrange it.
The envoy of the True Polar Kingdom was also waiting quietly, he was not in a hurry, he was already invincible, and he didn't need to fight for this moment.
After waiting for a long time, Lime finally returned, standing behind the eldest grandson, his eyes indicating that he was ready.
The eldest grandson bowed slightly, then looked at Emperor Xia silently, and nodded slightly.
"Rack Oil Pot"
After receiving the signal, Emperor Xia was no longer silent and gave an order.
After a while, a huge oil pot with a stove was moved into the door of the Heavenly Oracle, and the vigorous fire under the oil pot beat violently, which looked very scary.
"Please appoint the envoy," Emperor Xia said.
The Great Xia officials trembled unconsciously when they heard this, it didn't mean that they were greedy for life and afraid of death, but just pure fear.
In fact, they thought a little too much, no matter how bold the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom was, it was impossible to force the courtiers of Great Xia to get into the oil pot.
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that this candidate is nothing more than a palace maid, a guard, and ...... Eunuchs and the like have no power, no power, no weight.
Think about it further, the guards are all people who practice martial arts, impossible, the palace maid is a woman in the end, even if she dies, she is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and she is not willing to bear the notoriety of bullying women, and the rest is only ...... Eunuch.
Ning Chen is very smart, he thinks better than anyone else, so his head is lower than anyone else, if it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would probably have run away.
Everything that should be said has been said, why should he go up to do such a thankless task.
"This little father-in-law, please"
The envoy of the True Pole Kingdom stepped forward to take a look at the oil pot, and after checking that it was okay, he turned around and swept around the hall, and at a glance he took a fancy to Ning Chen, who had the deepest head, the right identity, the right age, and not a person who practiced martial arts, so he was simply the best candidate to get out of the oil pot.
If Ning Chen knew what the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom thought, he would definitely shout that he was wronged, he was a person who practiced martial arts!
It's a pity that he is just a low-level player who has not yet entered the grade, and he has lost the only bit of true qi in the past two days, so it's no wonder that others didn't see it.
Seeing that the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom chose Ning Chen, the eldest grandson was stunned, and he couldn't help but have a trace of expectation in addition to worrying, worrying that she had been trying her best to cover up Ning Chen's existence, just to protect him from being affected by the undercurrents in the palace, so no matter how much credit Ning Chen made, she didn't say anything, and even in front of Emperor Xia, she deliberately concealed Ning Chen's name.
It's just that after a short time together, the eldest grandson became more and more clear in her heart that she couldn't cover Ning Chen's light forever, so she always had expectations while worrying, and she also wanted to see how far this light could shine after getting rid of her shackles?
However, compared to the eldest grandson's complicated mood, Lime's psychology is much simpler, and the only thing she worries about is whether this kid will make a mess of today's court.
Is Ning Chen happy? Not happy! Does he want to make meritorious service? Don't want to! Because he is a eunuch, how can he be promoted? The head of the eunuch?
The core principle issue, he will have to run away sooner or later, and he can't stay in the palace for the rest of his life.
The reason why he helped the eldest grandson was that he wanted to dissipate the anger of the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson was not bad to him.
The current situation is the last thing he wants to encounter, he knows that from today on, the queen will have countless eyes on him, whether it is Wan Guifei or Emperor Xia, he will not allow a person who knows nothing to appear around the eldest grandson.
Ruthlessness is the most emperor's family, Emperor Xia is like this, Wan Guifei is like this, and even the eldest grandson is the same.
Seeing the hesitation in Ning Chen's heart, the eldest grandson drank in a low voice and said, "What a panic, do it boldly, if something happens, this palace will bear it!"
Ning Chen's reprimanded head was a little clearer, knowing that he couldn't hide this time.
After two steps out of the ranks, Ning Chen glanced back at the eldest grandson uneasily, meaning, you must be a word when you speak!
The eldest grandson ignored him, she was the queen, if she couldn't even protect a little eunuch, then she didn't have to be the queen.
The oil pot in the hall gradually began to bubble, and the beating flames in the furnace burned people's faces, Ning Chen waited, and when the oil pot bubbles were the most violent, he stretched out his hand on the oil pot, and then smiled brightly at the envoy of the Zhenji Kingdom who was sitting in the hall, and said in a mouth: "Your uncle's"
The face of the envoy of the True Pole Country darkened, although he didn't know what the little eunuch was talking about, but he knew that it was not a good thing to think about it.
However, at the thought that this kid's arm would turn into a fried loach in the next moment, his mood was inexplicably better.
Ning Chen put his left hand in, and his expression was instantly wonderful.
I got in!
In the hall, the eyelids of all the ministers jumped, and the timid subconsciously avoided it, not daring to look at it anymore.
Hiss, in the sound of cold air, Ning Chen's eyes were red, and his whole body was trembling, especially his arms were shaking so badly, causing the oil pot to splash out continuously, falling into the stove, and a clanging flame.
Seeing this, the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom smiled even brighter, as if it was not the arm of a little eunuch in the oil pot, but the entire Great Xia Dynasty to be slaughtered.
However, in the next moment, the smile on the face of the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom froze silently.
In front of the oil pot, the trembling hands were covered by the oil-stained sleeves, but they clearly took out a needle as thin as a hair.
Ding, maybe there was, maybe there was no sound, the needle fell to the ground, and the little eunuch with a painful face squatted on the ground, holding his arm, his teeth grinding with a clattering sound.
In the hall of "Passing on the Imperial Doctor", the eldest grandson shouted in a deep voice, waking up everyone.
"Well done!"
I don't know which minister forgot the etiquette in front of the palace, slammed the table, and shouted excitedly.
Immediately after, there was a burst of applause, cheering loudly for this brave, strange, and painless little eunuch.
Emperor Xia's tense face also flashed with a hint of satisfaction, very faint, fleeting.
The imperial physician soon came, and a guard stepped forward to help Ning Chen up, and followed the imperial physician to take the hero away.
The eldest grandson glanced at the envoy of the True Pole Kingdom with a heavy face, and said, "Lime"
"Yes"
Lime understood, walked to the front of the hall, and put the fallen needle back into the oil pot.
After a simple movement, Lime turned to look at the five envoys of the True Pole Kingdom in the main hall, and said calmly, "I heard that the True Pole Kingdom is still martial, but I don't know how much it is true or false."
As the words fell, Lime took a slight step forward and said in an indifferent tone:
"Excuse me, who's coming?"
