The interior space is full of furniture such as Shuge, Duobaoge, Kang Table, Kang Table, Incense Table, Long Table, Semi-round Table, Crescent Table, Piano Table, Chair, Embroidery Pier, Scheme and other furniture, and because the indoor space of the imperial study is narrow and tortuous, the furniture is mostly fine and small black lacquer painted gold, lacquer ground inlaid luodian and other categories.
On the wall, in addition to the silk and paper stickers, there are also hanging rosewood borders of the royal pen characters, carved lacquer borders of landscape flowers and birds paintings, enamel frame of the insert screen, with jade, gemstones, enamel, ivory, dotted emerald and other materials inlay, it looks gorgeous and brilliant.
The west room of the imperial study is the place where the emperor used to summon the minister of military aircraft, and at this time, His Majesty the Emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, holding a brush to correct the stack of folds spread on the table, and the folds on his face could show that he was no longer young.
There was a middle-aged eunuch grinding ink beside him.
And in the center of the main hall, there stood a woman in red soft armor, her back was very straight, neither humble nor arrogant, standing in the main hall, her eyes were sharp, her expression was indifferent, and the cross mark on her left face was very obvious, this person was Mu Hualan.
There was no one in the hall but three.
Originally, Mu Hualan planned to go back to the house to get the spirit crystal and then go to the small shop to eat food, but as soon as she returned to the house, she heard the housekeeper say that someone was coming from the palace, and she was passed on to the palace to face the saint.
Helpless, she had no choice but to turn around and enter the palace, on the way she met Ye Feng, who was the captain of the guard army, and remembered the three people in the small shop and the appointment she had made with Boss Qin, so she stopped him and asked him to pass a message to herself, saying that she couldn't go to the small shop if she had something.
And she came to the imperial study of the palace, but since she entered the door, the emperor just said that she should get up and remained silent.
I don't know how long it took, His Majesty the Emperor put down the fold in his hand, and said calmly to Mu Hualan, who was standing below: "Lan girl, you are also twenty-five years old this year." ”
"Yes, the minister just came of age last year. Mu Hualan replied.
"It's so fast, in the blink of an eye, the little girl has grown up. The emperor sighed.
Mu Hualan didn't speak, just quietly stared at His Majesty the Emperor behind the desk.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't talk nonsense, and after a sigh, he said: "I want to recruit you to choose a son-in-law, what do you think?"
Mu Hualan's indifferent face flashed with a moment of astonishment, and then she returned to calm and said, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't think that the minister can't get married." ”
The emperor shook his hand and said, "Lan girl, today is not a meeting between the monarch and the minister, just call me the emperor's uncle, and now I am talking to you as your emperor's uncle." ”
After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "I'm not afraid that you won't be able to get married, but I'm old, I want to see you put on your wedding dress on the day I want to personally choose a wishful husband for you, as the only female general in the Tanglin Empire, your cultivation talent is so good, I can't think of a better husband than recruiting relatives to match you." ”
In response to him, Mu Hualan's silence was echoed, and His Majesty the Emperor did not urge, looking at Mu Hualan in the center of the hall with peaceful eyes.
"The minister doesn't want to marry so early. After a long time, Mu Hua Mu Hualan replied.
"Really?" His Majesty the Emperor was obviously not surprised by this answer, and wanted to persuade him again, but at this time, a man in a black mask quietly appeared beside the Emperor, whispered a few words to His Majesty the Emperor, and handed the Emperor a piece of paper.
The Emperor took the paper and waved his hand to signal him to stand back, and the figure of the man in black gradually dissipated in place.
After the black-clothed masked man retreated, the emperor no longer persuaded anything, but changed his words and said: "You don't have to refuse so quickly, I give you time to think about it more, when you agree, when you come to me." ”
Ever since the black masked man appeared, Mu Hua Mu Hualan lowered her head and lowered her gaze, and when she heard His Majesty the Emperor say this, she raised her head again, and wanted to say something.
But after His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, he opened the topic, and asked Mu Hualan some things about the early dynasty and asked her to step down.
After Mu Hualan left, the emperor looked at the open door and said to Gonggong Chen beside him, "When do you think she will come to me?"
"The minions don't know. Gonggong Chen said with his back hunched over, his voice was very sharp.
"I'm sure she'll come to me soon. His Majesty the Emperor said in a standing voice, and after saying that, he picked up a book on the table, opened it, and took out a piece of paper from it, on which there were only three words...... Rotting scattered.
The eunuch did not reply, and the quiet Hou stood aside.
Leaving the palace, Mu Hualan let out a breath, she really didn't like the palace, it was like a cage, and the people in it were all imprisoned birds, even the emperor was no exception, and he was firmly locked on the dragon chair.
Mu Hualan, who walked out of the palace, felt a sense of relief in her heart, thinking that she might be able to go to Boss Qin's shop to eat delicious food if she still had time, and she felt a burst of happiness in her heart, but this happiness did not last long before it was interrupted when she returned to the mansion.
The housekeeper kept walking back and forth at the gate, and when she saw Mu Hualan coming back, she immediately rushed towards her happily, and shouted: "General, you can be regarded as back." ”
"What's the matter? Look at you, it's not going to be Lingmei and Ziyu coming, right?" Mu Hualan thought that she was in a good mood when she was going to eat food, and she was also in the mood to make a joke about Steward Wang, who let Mu Hualing and Ai Ziyu make the house jump every time they came to the General's Mansion, which would make Steward Wang bitter, so every time the two of them came to the housekeeper, they had a crying face, but the two of them didn't like to run to the General's Mansion with each other.
"Ouch, my general, you're still in the mood to joke, Lord Night Wind has been poisoned!" Steward Wang said eagerly.
"What?" The ease on Mu Hualan's face instantly cracked.
Mu Hualan hurried to the guest room and saw that there was only the young man who came to the General's Mansion with the night breeze in the room.
When she learned from the man's mouth that the poison in the Night Wind was the poison king, Mu Hualan knew that she had miscalculated, she never expected that the poison king would also appear in Kyoto!
even gave the night wind the poison of "millet decay", which can only watch his body rot and be tortured all the time......
