Shi'an Yuan was in a mess, Zhu Yanran was losing her temper, and she was caught and fell, but she was not stupid, and all she fell was worthless gadgets. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, Tao didn't stop Zhu Yanran from maintaining the demeanor of a lady, because she was also so angry that she was about to explode at this time.
Well, not only did she not succeed in preventing Zhu Xinnian from appearing in front of people, but she also let her use her birthday banquet to show off.
"Mother Liu!" Dow shouted sharply.
"Madam, what's the matter with calling slaves?" Liu's mother trotted in from outside the door.
"Call Steward Tang to me!"
"Yes. ”
When Steward Tang arrived, Zhu Yanran was already tired, and her eyes were full of tears and snuggled up to Tao's side.
Tao looked at Steward Tang with a ruthless gaze: "Steward Tang, how is your progress over there?"
Steward Tang swallowed his saliva: "Mrs. Hui, it proves that it is still in the process of being prepared." ”
"Are you snails? I can't do it yet!" Tao scolded, "Now, Zhu Xinnian that little slut has completely ridden on my head!"
"It's... Madam, please give me a little more time, I'll rush them!" Steward Tang's voice trembled a little.
Tao walked up to Steward Tang, leaned into his ear and said, "Give you a little more time, if you can't do it again...... You're going to come to me with your head!"
"Hmph!" Tao flicked his sleeves and dragged Zhu Yanran to the back room.
Steward Tang looked at the back of Tao leaving, exhaled lightly, and then left quickly.
At night, a figure turned into the Zhu Mansion from outside the wall and dodged into the Shi'an Garden.
The next ten days were still peaceful, until an edict came to the door of Zhufu.
"Miss! Miss!" Cai Ning, who had always been the most stable, rushed into the bamboo garden.
Zhu Nian was swinging under the acacia tree, and when she saw the impatient Cai Ning, she smiled slightly: "Cai Ning, what made you so panicked?"
Cai Ning ran to Zhu Nian and kept panting: "Little... Miss, ...... outside ...... outside"
Zhu Nian smiled: "Don't worry, speak slowly." What's going on out there?
"Outside, some people from the palace came, and the father-in-law at the front said let Miss go and listen to the order!" Cai Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but she could still hear the panic in her tone.
The young lady has never provoked the royal family, why is there a father-in-law to announce the decree now.
"Oh?" Zhu Nian raised his eyebrows, so soon?
"Little... Miss, what the hell is going on, is this a blessing or a curse?" Cai Ning was at a loss in her heart, and there was a cry in her voice.
Zhu Nian touched Cai Ning's head to comfort her, and said with a smile: "As long as there are no accidents...... This is a great joy. ”
"Huh?" Cai Ning was confused.
"Take me to hear. Zhu Nian said to Cai Ning.
The two went to the gate of Zhufu one after the other, at this time the door was surrounded by a sea of people, and the people in the palace came out to announce the decree but it was rare to see it in a hundred years, and the people nearby came to join in the fun.
Three eunuchs and eight guards stood at the gate of the Zhu Mansion, led by an old eunuch, who was the emperor's big eunuch and the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and he was followed by two young eunuchs.
Zhu Nian wore a gold-trimmed purple xia skirt today, a gradient purple shawl rolled on her arm, and a flying fairy bun combed on her head, the whole person's temperament looked dignified and generous, and her face was beautiful.
After seeing Zhu Nian, the old eunuch Shen Gonggong's eyes lit up, and he had a good impression of her.
Zhu Nian walked up to Gonggong Shen, and kept a decent smile on his face: "Who are you?"
"The miscellaneous family is Gonggong Shen, who is next to the emperor, and today he was ordered by the emperor to read the imperial decree to Miss Zhu. ”
As he spoke, Gonggong Shen spread out the holy decree in his hand, cleared his sharp throat, and Zhu Nian and his subordinates immediately knelt on the ground.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, Tianxiang Pavilion Zhu has a good heart and exquisite cooking skills, and orders him to enter the palace today, waiting for a reward, Qin this!"
The people's daughter Zhu took the order. Zhu Nian bowed to the edict, then raised his hands above his head.
Gonggong Shen put the edict in Zhu Nian's hand, Zhu Nian lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
"Alright, Miss Zhu, please get up. Shen Gonggong helped Zhu to read for a while, and then said: "The miscellaneous family has brought the emperor's will, so they will go back to the palace first, and ask Miss Zhu to hurry to the palace." ”
"Thank you, Gonggong Shen. Zhu Nian smiled and saluted Shen Gonggong, and then watched Shen Gonggong and his party leave.
When the group walked away, Zhu Nian also ordered his subordinates to go back to Zhufu and close the door.
The people who joined in the excitement gradually dispersed, but the news that Zhu Nian was personally summoned by the emperor spread rapidly from the capital.
Zhu Nian returned to the bamboo garden, instructed Cai Ning and Fuyue to take care of the courtyard, and then ordered the little servant to prepare a carriage and go to the palace with red candles.
Shi'an Yuan also got the news, and Tao and Zhu Yanran sat at the wooden table to discuss.
"Mother, why did you say that this Zhu Xinnian was summoned to the palace by the emperor?"
"I also want to know, how did this little slut get the emperor's attention, and he did it so unknowingly!"
"Then what should we do, mother, what should we do if we really let Zhu Xinnian get a reward? That is the emperor's personal reward, which represents the highest honor!"
"Hmph! How could she enter the palace if she wanted to? It was a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, and the slightest carelessness would offend some royal family. Just thinking about this little girl who doesn't know anything, I'm afraid that she will be destined to enter and not to come out!"
"Really, then I'm really looking forward to it!" Hearing Tao's words, Zhu Yanran also had perverted expectations on her face.
"At that time, we won't have to do it ourselves, someone will deal with her!" Dow said fiercely.
Zhu Nian came to the gate of the imperial city in a carriage, and two guards blocked her way: "Who is it?"
Zhu Nian lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with the help of the little maid: "Two adults, the people's daughter is named Zhu Xinnian, and she came to meet the saint by the emperor's order, and I hope that the adults will let me go." ”
"Zhu Xinnian?" one of the guards thought for a moment and said, "You wait here first, and I'll go in and report it." ”
"Good. Zhu Nian nodded.
Zhu Nian waited for half an hour.
The city gate opened, and Gonggong Shen appeared with a group of palace maids and eunuchs and walked in front of Zhu Nian.
Shen Gonggong said: "Let Miss Zhu wait for a long time." Then he looked at the little guy behind Zhu Nian, "Then Miss Zhu will let the carriage wait outside the city gate, you can come with me on foot." ”
"Okay, Grandpa Shen. Zhu Nian turned around and said a few words to the little servant, and then called the red candle into the imperial city.
There is only a wall between the inside and outside of the city gate, but there is a hole in the imperial city.
Entering the palace, Zhu Nian couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he had been to the Forbidden City several times in his previous life, but compared with this palace, it was really a small thing.
The imperial city is large and cannot be seen at a glance, the palace has a golden roof, a red door, and golden glazed tiles shining dazzlingly in the sun.
The palace is surrounded by ancient trees towering to the sky, green trees are shady, red walls and yellow tiles, golden and brilliant, so that people spontaneously give birth to a sense of solemnity.
Gonggong Shen did not take Zhu Nian to the main hall, but bypassed the main hall and went to the back garden of the palace.
The back garden is full of exotic flowers and plants, green willows, and flowers and trees. In the middle of the garden is a clear lake, and Zhu Nian walked with Shen Gonggong through a water promenade and walked in the direction of a side hall.
After Zhu Nian and his party left, on a cobblestone road in the garden, a tall figure in white appeared, this person was Ling Hu'an, the divine doctor who had been in the palace for two days.
Ling Hu An looked in the direction where Zhu Nian disappeared, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a hint of interest: Isn't this the girl that Ah Sheng talked about some time ago? What did she do in the palace.
"Master, what are you looking at?" Qiqi, who was following behind Ling Hu'an, also followed Ling Hu'an's gaze, but didn't see anything.
"Nothing, let's go. Ling Hu'an retracted his gaze and beckoned Qiqi to leave.
