Chapter Forty-Three: Let's Go Home Together
Lu Mingyue had to say that this palace is so big, she has been walking at the palace gate for so long, and she has not yet arrived at the place where the emperor and his old man live, and then look at this maze of palaces, it seems that you have to follow Nangong Jue closely, and Lu Mingyue automatically stuck to Nangong Jue's side.
When he arrived at the imperial study where the emperor was, his father-in-law, who was over sixty years old, still came out of it with a brisk step, and said to Nangong Jue in a sharp voice: "The absolute princess, the emperor is invited." ”
Nangong Jue and Lu Mingyue lowered their heads and stepped into that depressing place.
Because they lowered their heads, Nangong Jue and Lu Mingyue knelt down again, Lu Mingyue couldn't see the emperor's appearance, only saw a pair of golden boots, and then heard a deep voice: "Get up." ”
Lu Mingyue got up and looked up slightly, only to see a bright yellow dress, embroidered with a hovering flying dragon, on which Lu Mingyue saw a man who looked only in his early thirties, with clear eyebrows and eyes, and a face that was absolutely similar to Nangong, they stood together like brothers, Lu Mingyue quietly calculated the emperor's age in his heart, I am afraid that it will be fifty, this maintenance is too good!
After Nangong Jue got up, the emperor came to his side with great concern, asked long and short questions, and rewarded a lot of things, Lu Mingyue looked at the two people who were very concerned about each other on the surface, and they also said some polite words, they really felt sad for the royal people, they couldn't enjoy the normal family fun of father and son, and they had to be wary of whether their son would usurp the throne and whether their father would suppress their son.
The emperor and Nangong Jue finished the formalities, and finally noticed Lu Mingyue on the side, Lu Mingyue stood there obediently with her head bowed as a good royal daughter-in-law.
Seeing the emperor coming, Lu Mingyue knelt down and took the initiative to plead guilty: "The concubine was reckless for a while, ran to the border pass, and hoped that her father would punish her." ”
The emperor touched Lu Mingyue's sleeve to make Lu Mingyue get up, and he didn't blame, but praised Lu Mingyue a few words, rewarded him with something, and said that he was tired, and Nangong Jue and Lu Mingyue withdrew.
After Nangong Jue came out, he asked Lu Mingyue: "Does the princess want to visit the palace?" ”
Lu Mingyue looked at the majestic and luxuriously decorated palace, and glanced at Nangong Jue angrily, "What are you going to do, it's a long time to travel, of course it's time to go home and sleep." ”
He said angrily: "The concubine is tired and wants to go back to rest early." ”
Nangong Jue fulfilled Lu Mingyue's wish, and took her out of the palace together, seeing that it was not early, Lu Mingyue quickened her pace, and at the moment she walked out of the palace gate, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a person, who was standing on the city wall on the side and looked at her and Nangong Jue, and when she wanted to look back, her footsteps had already stepped out of the palace gate, and she didn't think much about it, and went back to the house with Nangong Jue.
Here, Nangong Rui stood on the city wall, watching Nangong Jue and the woman beside him walk out of the palace gate until they disappeared.
At this time, Zhang Xuanqing suddenly appeared behind Nangong Rui and said, "Nangong Jue is back!" ”
Nangong Rui only replied with two words: "Yes!" ”
Then he looked up to see the snowflakes falling bigger and bigger, and after a while, a thin white veil was spread on the ground, and it was the white pear blossoms that came from spring that fell to the ground.
The snow was vast, and when Lu Mingyue and Nangong Jue returned to the Juewang Mansion, their clothes were stained with snowflakes, Jinxin hurriedly came over to sweep Lu Mingyue's clothes clean, and reluctantly swept away the snowflakes on Nangong Jue's body.
Nangong Jue looked at Xiao Xiao with a reluctant look, glanced at Ye Han, why didn't he see Ye Han come forward to sweep the snow for himself, Ye Han didn't see the master's Ling Yan gaze, and continued to stand there motionless, Nangong Jue suddenly felt cold in his heart, "The princess's people are unwilling to serve this king, but this king's own people can't move." ”
After cleaning up, the servants brought hot water, Lu Mingyue and Nangong Jue soaked their hands slightly, and went to the front hall to eat.
The inside of the house was much warmer than the outside, and Nangong Jue and Lu Mingyue were eating, when they saw Steward Li coming up and saying, "Lord and Princess, the clothes, bedding, black charcoal, etc. for the winter have all been prepared." ”
Nangong Jue nodded and said, "Go down." ”
saw that Steward Li did not retreat, but looked at Lu Mingyue halfway.
Lu Mingyue smiled at Steward Li: "I know, Steward Li is naturally relieved." ”
Steward Li respectfully returned to Nangong Jue and Lu Mingyue: "The slave went down." ”
Withdrew.
Nangong was absolutely puzzled, "Isn't it just a battlefield, why can't you be the master in the palace after you come back?" ”
In fact, it's not that he can't call the shots, it's that Steward Li doesn't want the prince to worry about both the war and the affairs of the house, for fear of tiring the prince, so he directly ignores the prince for the things that are hard in the house.
Lu Mingyue knew what Nangong Jue was thinking, so she put a piece of pork belly in Nangong Jue's bowl and said, "The concubines in the palace are in charge, and the princes outside the mansion are in charge." ”
Nangong frowned, and said with a smile: "Then it's up to the princess!" ”
