56. [Wu Lu] Face Saint
A hundred years of Yanjing, a thousand years of elegance, at this time the peach blossoms are in full bloom, a gust of wind blows, and the sweet and slightly greasy floral fragrance is filled with every wide or narrow street along the petals.
Horse-drawn carriages galloped along Suzaku Street, the most spacious arterial road in Yanjing, leading to the Suzaku Gate in the middle of the imperial city.
Qin Slow faintly heard the sound of the bustling city coming in through the cracks in the corners and corners, like sweeping a small comb on the tip of his heart. But the carriage was running so fast that in the blink of an eye, it left behind all the bustling scenes. No one dared to touch the moldy heads of these officials dressed in brocade clothes and wearing embroidered spring knives, they were compared to evil ghosts, but these evil ghosts not only dared to go out in the daytime and openly destroy people, but also rode horses so grandly and went straight to the core of the entire Dayan - the imperial city.
The galloping carriage and horse path penetrated from the side door of the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the sound of whipping and flying horses seemed to penetrate the entire clouds of Dayan, alarming the old finches at the head of the towering wall to spread their wings and fly something one after another.
Beat Cao Shen to pass on the emperor's order, and Yongque always paid attention to Qin Slow's face. At this time, Qin Slow's face was indeed not very good because of the bumps in the carriage, he was white, his fingers were tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, I don't know if he was nervous or uncomfortable. The thin fingers were white and white, as if they would break at any time, and he coughed, causing her to look up: "Are you tired?" ”
He said this loudly, and the people outside knew what he meant when they heard the sound of the strings, and immediately the carriage slowed down a little. However, after passing through a Suzaku Gate to the dismounting monument in front of the two gates, everyone stopped.
Qin slowly took a deep breath and shook his head to thank him: "Thank you for your forgiveness," she stroked her heart and said bitterly, "It's much better now......"
There is still a future to these words, Yongque is waiting for her.
Sure enough, she said whimfully: "Can I not go to see His Majesty and his old man?" I am a timid person in the rivers and lakes, and the biggest official I have ever seen is the governor of Huizhou," she hesitated, "I don't know the rules and etiquette, and I will definitely lose face if I see it." If you anger Long Yan, I'm afraid you'll lose your ......."
It is clear that he doesn't want to go, so he has to use the banner of thinking about him, look at how good it sounds, and take care of him in his face. If he hadn't known that she was forced to come with him, he would have thought that she was really happy with him, and thought about him everywhere! Yongque laughed, and he thought to himself, in addition to this eunuch status, it didn't seem unusual for her to take a fancy to him.
Qin Chu was first overjoyed by his smile, and then saw the color in his eyes clearly, and suddenly froze.
Yongque Zhen laughed and stroked her forehead slightly: "Say you are clever, and you are stupid again at this time." You are an ordinary person with no quality and no rank, if you want to see Your Majesty, you have to weigh your own weight, don't you? He patted her head gently, "After getting out of the car, someone will take you to rest, just wait for me." The palm of his hand lingered against her forehead for a while, slowly descended along the bridge of her nose, and pressed her index finger against her lips and gently, "We won't explain anything else, just remember one, you can't believe or answer the words of people or ghosts in the palace." Did you hear me? ”
Those charming eyes were curved, but Qin Chu saw the bottomless gloom and full of warning after the smile, and she nodded instinctively: "Understood." ”
His lips moved, brushing his fingers, but this time he didn't let go, but wiped it gently, with some indescribable flirtatiousness, almost startling her back.
Stunned, Yongque had already gotten out of the car first, and there was a greeting outside, all the people in the palace were familiar faces, afraid that he would be afraid of him and want to slap him up, the only few who were not intimate and unenthusiastic were probably Cao Shen's voters.
West Factory......
They walked so secretly, they could still pinch the point on the road to intercept them, and it seemed that they didn't miss their eyes on him.
Yongque took off the Bodhi Xingyue on his wrist, probably ran around outside and stayed with Qin Slow's girl for a while, his heart softened a little, and he didn't feel much disgusted when he looked at them. But if you don't dislike it, you don't like it, you have to gouge out the eyes that should be chopped out, and you have to chop out the hands that should be chopped up.
He looked at the corner of the Yanying Hall behind the layers of eaves, but now the mind of this saint seems to be much more difficult to guess than that of the first emperor.
Yongque walked for a while, and it was finally quiet outside, and Huo An whispered outside the car: "Girl, come down." The Overseer went to the Yanying Palace, and there were no outsiders here. ”
After a few more moments, a thin hand opened the curtain, and a face leaned out to look at it, before he slowly climbed off the carriage on the footstool.
I don't know what Yongque said to her in the car, Huo An looked at her six gods and three gods floating outside, she had always been dull and he was not surprised, looked left and right and came to her side and said: "Girl, I'm afraid, most of the people in this palace are still the overseer, and he should go back after a while." When the time comes, go to his mansion and you'll be at ease. ”
That's what scared her! Rao is Qin is slow and dull, and he also feels that Yongque's move is not quite right. She wondered, they all said that there was a piece missing under the eunuch's body, shouldn't it be incomprehensible to the relationship between men and women? What's the point of using your hands and feet?
Huo An led her to a small pavilion in a nearby palace, which was not very clean and tidy, but there seemed to be no concubines living in it. Huo An had already figured out Qin Slow's work and rest habits clearly, and as soon as the person landed, he sent a few plates of dim sum and a hot soup, and he said while setting the dishes and chopsticks: "Girl, you eat a few bites, the overseer will accompany you to have a good meal when he returns to the mansion after a while." ”
Qin sat slowly on the low pier next to the ground cover: "Huh? Didn't His Majesty set wine for the Overseer? ”
"Hey! You don't know this, right, saying that it is a wine is actually inviting the governor to interrogate! ”
Qin nodded slowly: "Oh......" She looked at the boxy pigeon-cage-like house, and sighed, "The palace is really uncomfortable, I want to go back to Shangqing Mountain, at this time, the wild rabbit is the fattest, and Song Weiwen and I can eat meat every day." ”
Huo An sighed in his heart, aunt, you still want to go up the mountain to hunt rabbits, as the saying goes, it is easy to enter the door in this palace, and it is difficult to get out, and if you want to get off the boat of the overseer, there is only one way - drowned.
He actually sympathized with Qin Slow a little, after all, he followed the eunuch, even if he was a decent eunuch like Yongque, he was unsatisfactory if he was missing a piece of meat on his body. But it was inconvenient for him to say this kind of thing to Qin slowly, so he had to sandwich a snack for her: "Girl, you pad your belly first." ”
Qin sighed slowly and ate the snack, and only after a few pieces of stomach did he pick up the soup, and there was a rush of footsteps outside. Huo An turned around and yelled outside: "I drank Meng Po soup, and I rushed to reincarnate as a ghost!" I didn't see the nobles resting in it, and I don't know the rules! ”
The little eunuch was reprimanded aggrieved, although Huo An's rank was not high, but he was also a small confidant by Yongque's side. He slammed his mouth and swallowed the bitter water, and replied in a low voice: "Father-in-law Huo, Gonggong Li personally passed the word outside, saying that the sage ordered to see Miss Qin who came back with the overseer. ”
"Huh?"
Qin was dumbfounded.
┉┉∞∞┉┉┉┉∞∞┉┉┉
The news spread really fast, and the front foot only entered the palace, and the back foot emperor knew that Yongque had returned with a girl's house.
I don't know if it's to show that I value this minister who covers the sky with one hand, or if I pay attention to it else, but since the emperor wants to see you, even if you are a small person in Shengdou, you have to kneel down to see it with fear.
It was too late to nod his head, Huo An hurriedly swept Qin up and down, pushed it out, and handed over the person to Li Xingcong, who served in front of the palace with a smile on his face: "Father-in-law Lao Li, you are in a noble step, girl, she is not from an official family and does not understand the etiquette in the palace, please take care of it." ”
Li Xingcong is the old man next to the new emperor, and he served the new emperor when he was young, although he didn't treat these people in Dongchang but didn't hit the smiling people in front of him, he also responded kindly: "Huo Gonggong's words are serious, and the people of Lord Yong should take care of them." Girl, please. ”
Yongque seemed to have expected this time, and the place where Qin slowly settled was separated from the Yanying Hall at first glance by the heavy halls, and he walked up through the corridor and passed through the hall, and it didn't take long for him to reach His Majesty Dan.
Li Xing never explained two sentences lukewarmly and went in, thinking that considering that Qin Slow was a woman, a girl dressed as a palace lady soon came out to summon her.
As soon as Qin slowly raised his head, both of them were stunned.
Even if I haven't seen her for many years, Gong E's round face is still fresh in Qin Chu's memory, after all, there are Mulan who dresses up as a man and throws a pen from Rong, and there are very few people who run out to wander out in disguise as a woman.
As soon as they looked at each other, the two of them obviously recognized each other, and Gong E blurted out: "You ......"
immediately closed his mouth again, still with a cold face, and said, "Your Majesty has invited the girl into the hall, please." ”
Qin blinked slowly, nodded silently very knowingly, and followed her in.
After a short stretch of time, Gong E looked back at her curiously several times. Qin Slow's appearance is not outstanding, but her light hair color and eye color are really outstanding, which is unforgettable.
At the same time as stepping into the hall, the round-faced Gong E looked at the ground in front of her intently, and quietly raised her foot and kicked at Qin's slow knee, "Kneel." ”
The kick was neither light nor heavy, Qin Slow fell to the ground with a pop of surprise, and listened to Gong E's serious face and said, "Your Majesty, Miss Qin has arrived." ”
The light on the ground of the lapis is recognizable, Qin Kuan knelt there without a head and only saw his confused face, where Yongque was, where the emperor was, she didn't know at all, so she was a little apprehensive.
"Since you are a person from Yongchangchen, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so polite, get up."
"Get up." Gong E whispered again without squinting.
Qin slowly rubbed his knees and got up, and Mu Mu raised his head in a daze.
First of all, she saw Yongque, still sitting behind the banquet with that calm and calm appearance, her slightly skimming eyes seemed to be looking at her but not like looking at her, which made people unpredictable what he meant. Opposite him sat another person, nearly forty in appearance, with thin cheekbones, pointed chin, and a pair of eyes slightly hanging up and sometimes flashing, as if like a knife, cutting her inch by inch, and looking through her.
Finally, she looked at the top, and there was a bright yellow figure sitting on the dragon chair, although it was a dragon robe, it was light in style, not a gown. The man was dressed freely, his demeanor was also gentle and comfortable, and at the moment when he looked at Qin Slow, his eyes were so fast that he could barely catch a trace of affection: "Is this the family of Yongchangchen?" ”
The straightforward question made Qin Slow and Yongque stunned at the same time.
