Chapter 109: The Emperor's Reward
"Almost, everyone present should have understood, at least my father and aunt knew." Shenyue Haoqing nodded lightly.
Li Anyue heard that she felt that the world was going to collapse, happiness came too suddenly, but it caught people off guard, so how should she face the virtuous concubines when she went back? How do you say it so that they don't think they've been hiding it from them?
"Don't think about it, you don't have to worry about anything, everything is good with me." Shenyue Haoqing could see her worries, so she comforted her softly, "It's really not good, as soon as this king goes back, I will ask my aunt to ask you to be the princess of this king!" ”
"I'm not an object, where did you ask for it!" Li Anyue glanced at him with disgust, but thinking about it, there was nothing to do now, so he could only go back and see the situation.
After breakfast, Shenyue Haoqing went out to order what to prepare, and did not come back until noon, and the two walked around the temple for a while. Most of the secret guards have been sent back by Shenyue Haoqing to protect Shenyue Cangting and return to Beijing, but because Shenyue Haoqing is there, he is not worried about what will happen. As soon as she went out, the two palace maids guarding the door gave her a big salute and called her "Miss Li", so frightened that she hurriedly reached out to help them, but was pulled back by Shenyue Haoqing.
"Don't worry about it, anyway, they will have to salute when they see you in the future, so it's not bad to get used to it early."
……
Early the next morning, Li Anyue urged Shenyue Haoqing to get up, and Shenyue Haoqing still took care of all the things she had to do after she got up, and Li Anyue didn't bother to stop him anymore, it was useless to stop him anyway. As a result, even things like wearing masks and combing hair were taken care of by Shenyue Haoqing, but where Shenyue Haoqing would tie his hair, in the end, he could only let the palace maid do it.
"Lord, don't you think it's funny?" Li Anyue looked at Shenyue Haoqing who was close in front of him and said with a smile.
"What?" Shenyue Haoqing asked as she carefully glued the mask for her.
"Isn't it funny that the husband helped his wife with the thrush, but the prince helped me put on a mask?"
“……”
After getting ready, Shenyue Haoqing helped her out, and Li Anyue could only lower her head and pretend not to see the surprised eyes of the two palace maids.
"Miss An Yue!"
As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Qinghong, dressed in brocade, standing next to a tall carriage and waving at her excitedly, she looked at Shenyue Haoqing in disbelief, "Lord Wang, what's going on with this big cage?" ”
"You'll be able to sit more comfortably."
"Qinghong, why are you here?"
"The master called me over. Miss An Yue, I heard that you were injured, are you better? Qinghong still smiled so brightly.
"Well, it's much better."
"Alright, let's get in the car." Shenyue Haoqing said and picked her up again and put her in the car.
"Lord Wang!" Li Anyue patted him on the shoulder with a red face, and looked at the two palace maids and Qinghong with some embarrassment. The palace maids all blushed and lowered their heads in recognition, Qinghong looked at the two of them with a smile, Li Anyue thought that he had no face to see people, so he simply buried his face in Shenyue Haoqing's clothes.
Shenyue Haoqing and Li Anyue sat in a big carriage, and the two palace maids sat in another carriage next to them. After entering the carriage, Li Anyue found that the carriage was not just used for decoration, the seats inside were padded with thick velvet, so even if the road was rugged, there would not be too much bumpy feeling when sitting on it, and the seat cushion was expanded to be very spacious, Li Anyue could lie on it without worrying about rolling down.
"Lord Wang, this looks like an RV!" Li Anyue moved around excitedly, and she was having fun, which made Shenyue Haoqing worry about her wounds.
"What is an RV?" Shenyue Haoqing has a headache for the inexplicable words that always come out of her.
"Well, it's a kind of horse-drawn carriage-like thing on our side, but the cart is very big, and it can put a lot of things, and people can live in the carriage and travel around the mountains and rivers."
"If you want, this king can build you one."
"No, I'm just talking!"
……
Because Li Anyue's injury was not suitable for too bumpy, the speed of the carriage slowed down a lot, and they rested for one night in the town they passed by the way before rushing to Tianyang City again the next day, only in the afternoon, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate. Li Anyue secretly glanced outside and found that there were many palace maids and eunuchs guarding outside.
"Come on, let's go down." Shenyue Haoqing said that he was going to hug her down again.
"No, I'd better go down by myself." Li Anyue saw the formation outside and thought that if it went on like this, he didn't know what kind of commotion it would cause.
"No, I'll just carry you down!"
"No way!"
……
The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting outside waited for a long time and didn't see the people in the carriage coming down, they all stretched their necks and waited. The two were in a stalemate in the car at this time, and after a long time, Shenyue Haoqing could only compromise, "Okay, then Benwang will go down first, and you should be careful to get out of the car." ”
Li Anyue nodded hurriedly. Shenyue Haoqing got off in front of her first, guarding the side of the carriage, she lowered her head and got out of the carriage, and just about to go down, Shenyue Haoqing reached out to hold her hand and helped her out of the carriage. Li Anyue's face suddenly turned red to the root of her ears again, because she had already seen the surprised eyes of the people around her, and wanted to retract her hand, but she was grabbed tightly by Shenyue Haoqing, and then she simply lowered her head and stopped looking at them, out of sight.
"Lord, the emperor has an order to invite Miss Li to go to Chengde Palace." Wu Yong tried to ignore the intimate actions of the two, and lowered his head and stepped forward.
"When you go back to your father, just say that Miss Li has been tired for a long time and her injuries have not healed, so it is better to go back to Changchun Palace to recuperate first."
"Lord Wang...... Father-in-law, don't take it seriously, the prince is joking, I'll go with you. Li Anyue hurriedly stopped him and apologized to Wu Yong.
"Okay, please go with the slave, the emperor is waiting." Wu Yong bowed slightly, then turned around and walked away.
"Yes." Li Anyue saw a little contempt in his eyes, and she followed after hiding her uncomfortable mood.
"This king will go with you." Shenyue Haoqing followed later, Wu Yong seemed to have something to say, but after being glanced at by Shenyue Haoqing coldly, he stopped talking and silently led the way in front.
When the three of them arrived, the emperor was in the imperial study to correct the folds, and he didn't seem surprised to see Shenyue Haoqing coming in together, he looked up at them, and then continued to lower his head to review the folds, and they had to stand aside in silence and wait.
"What's your name?" Shenyue Cangting reviewed the fold and asked, naturally it would not be to ask Shenyue Haoqing and them questions, so Li Anyue consciously answered.
"Slave Li Anyue."
"Oh? Where are the people? ”
"The slave maid is registered in Anxi."
"Anxi...... I heard that the osmanthus there is very famous, will you make osmanthus wine? Shenyue Cangting still looks like a homely person.
"Back to the emperor, the slave will not. Because the slave maid followed her mother to Peach Blossom Village in Yongfang Town since she was a child, she didn't have much impression of Anxi. ”
"Why move there?"
"My mother was widowed when she was young, so the slave maid also followed her mother's surname, and my mother took the slave and maid alone It was very hard and not welcomed, and then she married into Peach Blossom Village."
"And what's your father's last name?"
Li Anyue hesitated for a moment before saying slowly, "The slave maid has been taken by her mother since she was a child, and her mother is reluctant to mention her father, so the slave and maid are not very clear. ”
Shenyue Cangting's eyes changed, "Are there still brothers and sisters in the family now?" ”
"Last year, both parents died unexpectedly, but only one sister is missing, in order to live, the slave went back to a distant cousin, and then entered the palace to serve the master."
Shenyue Cangting asked casually, and Li Anyue also replied half-truthfully, but there was nothing to doubt. At the end, Shenyue Cangting stood up and stretched his body and sat on the soft couch over there, looking down at Li Anyue, "This trip to Guang'an Temple, thanks to you, I was able to survive." However, I am curious, how did you know that the old woman was an assassin? ”
"The slave and maid said bluntly that the emperor is in danger, and the slave and maid naturally have to stand in front of the emperor first." Li Anyue naturally wouldn't say something stupid like not trying to save you, "In fact, the slave maid also happened to look down and saw the old woman holding the child's hands, and felt a little strange in her heart. ”
"Strange? What's so strange about it? ”
"The slave maid was also a blink of an eye, the old woman's hands were not as dry and wrinkled as other people of the same age, but they were very smooth and flat, and her withered face was very different, the slave maid felt that this old woman might not be a normal person, but because of the urgency, I don't know why she blocked in front of the dagger, maybe it was the will of heaven."
"Haha, providence! That's right, maybe it's providence! Hearing this, Shenyue Cangting suddenly laughed twice, "You have made a great contribution this time, just put forward whatever reward you want!" ”
"The slave and maid are afraid, the slave and maid have not done anything, they really have no face to be rewarded, please the emperor does not have to have any reward."
"I never take back what I say, just say what you want." Shenyue Cangting vetoed Li Anyue's words with a wave of his sleeves.
Li Anyue could only look at Shenyue Haoqing with a bitter face, and Shenyue Haoqing immediately pointed out a clear way for her, "Since the emperor wants to reward you, you just say it, even if you want a flower and a grass, the emperor will meet your requirements." ”
Li Anyue's eyes lit up, yes, I don't have the courage to take a big one, just want a small one, I looked around the room at the moment, and fell on the mung bean cake on the low table in Shenyue Cangting's hand, "Slave and maid are brave, please ask the emperor to reward the slave and maid with that plate of mung bean cake." ”
