Chapter 26: Self-comparison

"Queen Mother, Queen-"

If the situation was like this, Duan Yan couldn't sit still any longer, got up, and arched his hand towards the Empress Dowager Duan, "Can you say a word?" ”

Empress Dowager Duan furrowed her brows and looked at him with a deep gaze.

Duan Yan's heart moved slightly, and he hurriedly gathered his mind and said, "I beg the Queen Mother to forgive the minister for the crime of walking in the forbidden palace." ”

Empress Dowager Duan was puzzled.

Duan Yan said again: "The minister wants to go to Fengxian Hall to meet His Royal Highness Rui." ”

When Jing Yan heard this, he was overjoyed: If Arrow can be taught by the prime minister, for Arrow, there will be great benefits. If Lord Duan can recognize Arrow, then Arrow's path to the emperor will go smoothly.

She is confident that with Arrow's intelligence and cuteness, she will definitely win Duan Yan's recognition and love.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Duan was still hesitating, Duan Yan chuckled: "The minister's youngest granddaughter is the same age as His Royal Highness Rui, and she is also naughty. The minister is at home on weekdays, and he is very good at coaxing his little granddaughter. I think that children all over the world are almost inseparable. The minister went to take a look at His Royal Highness Rui and explained a few words, which may be effective. ”

Empress Dowager Duan listened to the joy in his words, thought of the scene of teasing Sun, and sighed: "Zhiliang is so blessed." ”

Duan Yan swept the eyebrows of the Empress Dowager Duan, lost his mind slightly, knew that he was rude, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The minister asks the Empress Dowager to give her a decree." ”

Empress Dowager Duan groaned slightly, "It's okay." Yujue, you can lead Lord Duan to Fengxian Palace. Spread the message of the mourning family, and the retinue waited for the people to act according to the orders of Lord Duan. ”

Yu Jue should say "yes", and led his palm to the outside of the hall: "Lord Duan, please!" ”

Duan Yan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "It's hard work!" ”

After taking two steps, Duan Yan suddenly remembered something, turned around and said: "Queen Mother, the minister is a foreign minister, this crime of 'trespassing on the Fengxian Palace', if the official investigates it, it will ......."

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Mourning the family is saved!" Zhiliang, mourning family forgives you for your innocence. ”

She thought for a moment and said, "Those who do great things, don't care about trivial details!" ”

Duan Yan was in awe, although he admired the majestic atmosphere of the Queen Mother, he asked himself, he couldn't do it.

Duan Yan followed Yu Jue out of the hall, and the Empress Dowager Duan bowed her head and crossed Jing Yan's thin figure kneeling on top of the gold brick.

"Get up." The voice was faint, and I couldn't hear any emotion.

Jing Yan thanked him and stood with his head bowed.

Empress Dowager Duan glanced at her apparently reduced appearance, and a sour feeling appeared in her throat.

"Yubi, prepare meals in the kitchen, plus two dishes that the queen likes to eat." She commanded.

Yubi agreed and went to pass the meal.

Jing Yan was already dumbfounded.

Empress Dowager Duan didn't pay attention to her feelings, and said to herself: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Let's go in here with the mourners...... Together, wait for Arrow to come back. ”

Jing Yan's eyes swelled with sourness, he forced it down, and bowed down and responded: "Thank your mother for giving me food." ”

Empress Dowager Duan waved her hand, signaling that she didn't need to say more.

Outside the Fengxian Palace, Shen Cheng was as troubled as an ant on a hot pot, but he still had to pretend to be casual and respectful.

It had been half an hour, and there was no unusual sound in the hall.

Shen Cheng wished that the little ancestor inside would cry and make a little noise, and he could support him in his heart.

There were gaps in the window lattices of the main hall, but he didn't dare to look inside in front of everyone's eyes. When the time comes, I will be asked about the crime of "voyeurism in the temple", plus the "crime of dereliction of duty" that has not yet been decided, and you will have to! His old fate is explained.

In the midst of anxiety, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, and the sound came from nothing, from far to near......

Shen Cheng's eyes lit up, and he was busy stretching his neck to watch.

At a glance, he saw Yu Jue beside the Queen Mother-

Hey! There is salvation! This is the Queen Mother, her old man, sent someone to save Her Royal Highness!

At a glance, I saw the person led by Yu Jue, yo, a good uniform, isn't this our Duan Da Duan Prime Minister?

Shen Cheng couldn't understand it.

"Manager Shen, Miss Bingbi, I will follow the order of the Queen Mother Yi to bring Lord Duan to take a look at His Royal Highness Rui."

Yu Jue whispered and turned to Duan Yan, "Lord Duan, please!" ”

Duan Yan arched his hand and lowered his voice: "Thank you!" ”

The crowd hurriedly saluted.

Shen Cheng even squeezed out laugh lines with a fat face: "Our family is looking forward to a savior!" Who would have thought that the Queen Mother and her old man had sent Master Duan, the great savior? ”

Duan Yan smiled slightly, but did not answer, lifted his official robe, and tiptoed on the blue bricks on the foundation of the hall.

He heard Empress Dowager Duan say that His Royal Highness Rui has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he is a famous teacher. He is a scholar, and the sound of his feet will be heard by the little highness. So, when the prime minister had to learn the act of stealing, he stood on tiptoe and approached the window lattice of the main hall lightly.

Everyone was stunned and almost laughed.

Duan Yan didn't care, quietly grabbed the window lattice, squinted, and looked inward.

Where is the shadow of a half-man?

Duan Yan was stunned, and then stared at the futon in front of the High Ancestor Divine Lord with wide eyes, which was also empty.

Just as he was surprised, there was a sudden sound of light footsteps, and a small figure in a purple robe paced from the other corner of the main hall.

It was a dead end, and it was indistinguishable from the place where Duan Yan was.

Duan Yan looked at the purple figure, smiled bitterly, and shook his head secretly, where is this His Royal Highness Rui kneeling there honestly? They had already wandered around the temple.

But when he saw Yun Rui, he looked at the gods in the corner of the main hall one by one. Before each god, he first circled the incense table, and carefully examined each of the sacrifices on it; Then he crossed the incense table, and looked up to ponder each portrait of the god; After seeing enough, tilt your head to look at the words on the tablet......

Duan Yan seemed to have an understanding, but he was not very sure.

Alone in this empty hall, there is still the heart to study all kinds of sacrifices, this child's courage is not ordinary. and saw it so carefully, although I don't know what she was studying, it shows that she is a sharp-minded child. Such a heart, if taught properly, can be a generation of masters.

Duan Yan thought to himself.

But that's not enough.

Duan Yan no longer concealed it, buckled the temple door, "rumbling", and the heavy temple door was opened from the outside.

Yun Rui was studying the portrait of Emperor Wuzong with his waist bent, and he didn't expect that someone would suddenly break in. Rao was very bold and was also taken aback.

The eyes of the elders of the three dynasties met Yun Rui's eyes with doubt and panic. A generation of famous ministers and a generation of Ming Jun met for the first time in this situation.

The old gentleman is kind and gracious. This is Yun Rui's first impression of Duan Yan.

This kid is not like Emperor Renzong, not like His Majesty, and not like Emperor Wuzong...... This is Duan Yan's comment on Yun Rui.

This smart look is like a naughty cat in the old man's house-

Lord Duan, who loves cats, couldn't help but smile, and said loudly: "Your Highness Rui is so interested? ”

Know me? Yun Rui blinked, and suddenly found the official robe on Duan Yan's body. Well, it seems to be a big official......

"The old gentleman knows me?"

Duan Yan clasped his fists and saluted: "The left servant of the minister's book shoots Duan Yan to see His Royal Highness Rui!" ”

Shangshu left servant shot? What kind of official is it?

And no matter how big an official it is, such an extraordinary bearing, and an elderly gentleman who gives him a gift, Yun Rui is really embarrassed to accept it like this.

She hurriedly hugged her little fist and returned the salute: "I'm just a child, the old gentleman doesn't have to be like this." ”

Duan Yan secretly praised, "What a child who respects the elderly." He didn't stop Yun Rui from saluting, but smiled lightly: "No." His Royal Highness is a nobleman, the pride of the sky, the king, and the ministers should respect him. ”

Yun Rui heard this, thought about it, and didn't seem to be able to think of any reason to refuse.

"What are Your Highness just looking at?" Duan Yan went straight in.

Yun Rui's face turned red, remembering that he was "punished by his sister-in-law for kneeling", but he was seen by this old gentleman for not doing what he should do, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"I ...... I already know I'm wrong," she said in her own defense, "Sister-in-law said, when...... When to know what you are wrong and when to get up! Now that I know what I was wrong, I ...... Naturally, you can get up! ”

"Oh?" Duan Yan couldn't help but smile, "In that case, why didn't Your Highness walk out of this Fengxian Palace?" ”

Yun Rui pursed his lips: "Sister-in-law...... The sister-in-law only said that she knew that she was wrong, so she could get up, but she did not ...... It was not said that he could leave the temple. And ......"

"And what?" Duan Yan asked gently.

Yun Rui turned to look at the column of god lords behind him, "Moreover, these...... I think it's so raw...... It's fun. ”

The corners of Duan Yan's mouth twitched slightly, and he sneered secretly: "Child's words!" The gods of the ancestors and the ancestors have become 'interesting' things? ”

However, he didn't say anything, but asked: "Your Highness said before, 'Old gentleman doesn't have to be like this', and returned the courtesy, is it because of the minister's age?" ”

After all, Yun Rui was young, and he didn't know the deep meaning of his words, so he replied casually: "Well, old man, you are so old, and your bearing is so good, I look really good." ”

Duan Yan laughed: "Your Highness has praised it!" What a shame for the minister! ”

Then Zhengse said: "Since His Royal Highness is respectful and polite to his ministers, why is he disrespectful to his ancestors and ancestors?" ”

Yun Rui listened to his words suddenly, and she was just curious about all kinds of things in the hall before, so she shuttled back and forth in front of the gods of the ancestors, looking at this, fiddling with that, and didn't expect anything respectful or disrespectful.

Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty was still martial, it was necessary to know the word "etiquette" in the world, and no one could escape, especially in the emperor's house. No matter how young Yun Rui is, when he is questioned about the fault of "faux pas", he also knows that the matter is important. In particular, when he was questioned by this old gentleman with an extraordinary demeanor, Yun Rui suddenly felt uncomfortable.

With an idea, she remembered the story she had read, and said aloud: "It is said, 'When the son enters the Taimiao, he asks about everything'." ”

Duan Yan was very amused, and asked with a smile: "Your Highness compares himself to Confucius?" ”

Yun Rui's face was red, his small neck was stalked, and he was unconvinced: "Confucius was named the king of Wenxuan, and he is the prince, that is, the future son of heaven, compare himself to him, of course, he will not insult him!" ”

Duan Yan smiled. He knew that this little prince was arguing with reason, but when he heard that she even moved out to defend herself in a hurry, his heart couldn't help but soften a little.
