No matter what others thought, Xia Yingjiu got into the carriage steadily. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xiahou Jin and Old Man Xia naturally rode into the palace on horseback, and she was the only one in the carriage.
The closer to the palace, the more noisy it became outside the car, but Xia Yingjiu never opened the curtain to see the excitement, and he knew that everyone outside was going to enter the palace to see the banquet, and it was better to have more than one thing.
Xia Yingjiu only felt that after the carriage stopped for a moment, it moved again, and the noise around it seemed to suddenly stop, and only the sound of horses' hooves and carriages running over could be heard.
It seemed to be already in the palace, and after a while, the carriage stopped again.
"It turns out that Lord Xia has arrived, and the emperor is still chattering."
Hearing the sound of talking, Xia Yingjiu leaned against the curtain of the carriage and listened attentively.
"Gonggong Su is polite, I don't know how the emperor is doing recently?" Then I remembered Old Man Xia's voice.
Father-in-law Su? Xia Yingjiu thought about it, and seemed to be the person who served by the emperor's side.
"Hey, how can it be bad, it's just that the state affairs have been too busy recently, and we as slaves can only be anxious, and serving the emperor well is the most important thing." Grandpa Su sighed.
"It's hard work, it's just that the old man is old, and it's a shame that he can't accompany the emperor to solve problems."
Hearing Old Man Xia's words, Xia Yingjiu couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, grandpa's serious appearance is interesting when he thinks about it, and he doesn't know who it is, he sighs in the house every day, if only he could retire from the court a few years earlier.
Even most of the banquets in the imperial city are reluctant to come every year, if it is not the birthday of the eighth princess today, it is estimated that his old man is still staying in Zhizhou City.
"It's a shame." Gonggong Su sighed in a regretful tone, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "Look at me, I have delayed Lord Xia for so long, you can live in the 'Ning Cui Pavilion', this is explained by the Holy Lord himself, and the house has already been cleaned up." ā
"There is Lao Sheng's concern."
After Old Man Xia finished speaking, Xia Yingjiu found that the carriage continued to move.
I thought it would be a moment, but I really walked for a long time.
The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and I saw a little eunuch in palace clothes standing under the carriage, and after bending down in front of her, he squatted down with his back to her.
Xia Yingjiu waved his hand: "No need. ā
After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage by himself.
Xiahou Jin and Old Man Xia were directing the rest of the eunuchs, unloading the things they brought behind the carriage one by one and moving them to the room.
Seeing this, Xia Yingjiu walked around alone.
Although he didn't know what the layout of the palace was, Xia Yingjiu turned around and found that the location of this Ning Cui Pavilion must be good, the direction of each room could see the sun, the garden and the decorated plants could be carefully pruned at a glance, and the furnishings and supplies were freshly replaced.
Xia Yingjiu said hello to the adults and went to his room, and when he entered, there happened to be a palace maid cleaning.
"Miss Xia." When the girl saw Xia Yingjiu, she blessed her body slightly, and her voice was soft, "The slave maid is the palace maid of the 'Ning Cui Pavilion', her name is Biyun, and Miss Xia has something to do, just ask for it." ā
"You're welcome, Sister Biyun, please." Xia Yingjiu returned the salute and took a closer look at the girl, who seemed to be older than her, with green silk and waist-length eyes.
I can't help but sigh, the palace is different, just a random palace maid, the posture is stunning outside, not only that, but also so generous and decent.
Seeing that there was nothing else in the house, Xia Yingjiu asked Biyun to go out to rest, after all, it was in the palace, and she was not used to letting strangers dress up.
Moreover, during the time when Ning Shuang was away, she felt quite fun cleaning up by herself.
After packing up his things, it didn't take more than nine, Xia Yingjiu was bored in the room, so he thought about going to the yard to go around.
After Xiahou Jin warned her not to trespass, he went with her.
This is in the palace, you should be careful, plus the eighth princess's birthday is imminent, there are many guests in the palace, in case of collision with anyone, thinking about Xia Yingjiu's temperament, I'm afraid it will also be troublesome.
Xia Yingjiu naturally responded.
Outside the yard is a garden, and now it is summer, and the yard is also planted with seasonal flowers, which are now in full bloom, and some of them can be regarded as precious varieties.
Xia Yingjiu felt bored after a while, she was originally active, where she liked this kind of idle activity, she went around.
She still read her father's words in the end, and she didn't go far.
When I walked back to the Ning Cui Pavilion, I suddenly heard a commotion next door.
With the mentality that watching the excitement is not a big deal, Xia Yingjiu poked his head and looked next door.
I saw that in the courtyard next door, there were two people confronting each other, looking at the appearance, no one was convinced.
One of them has a white shirt, green silk is fixed on the top of his head with a jade crown, jade face and black eyebrows, clear eyes, and a jade pendant hanging from his waist, which is very expensive at a glance.
At a glance, he could see that he was the son of a family, but Xia Yingjiu always felt that something was wrong.
Standing opposite him was a middle-aged man, quite strong, with a non-angry and self-righteous appearance.
At this time, he was holding a purple shirt in his hand, which seemed to be a woman's style, and his face seemed to be angry.
"Gu Beitang, I'll ask you again one last time, whether you want to change this dress or not!" The middle-aged man waved the shirt in his hand as he spoke, almost hitting the face of the boy opposite.
The jade-faced boy was not afraid at all, and shook his sleeves vigorously: "The banquet hasn't started yet, what should I do with it, it's so procrastinating, it's inconvenient to walk." The expression on his face was very disgusted.
Poof.
Xia Yingjiu covered his face silently, originally thought that he was a jade-faced boy, but as soon as he heard the voice, he knew that it was a girl, dressed like this, no wonder the person opposite was so popular.
"It's inconvenient!" The middle-aged man was furious, "Look at which lady is dressed like you!" ā
"Then no girl practices martial arts every day like me." This girl's expression is very calm.
"Don't play tricks with Lao Tzu, you can't change it."
"Dad, if you say such foul words again, I will tell my mother when I go back, if she kicks you out of the room again, I won't help you say good things." The girl frowned and said dissatisfied.
"Lao Tzu... Lao Tzu..."The middle-aged man seemed to be a little frustrated, and he didn't dare to scold for a long time, but he was really unhappy if he didn't scold, and his face looked wonderful.
Maybe it was too joyful to watch, Xia Yingjiu stepped on the stone in the corner of the wall without paying attention, although the sound was not loud, but it was enough for the people in the courtyard to hear it clearly.
"Who's out there!"
The middle-aged man immediately frowned, and as he spoke, he walked away from the courtyard.
Xia Yingjiu hesitated for a moment, although it was nothing serious, but standing in the corner and eavesdropping or something, it didn't seem to be very good.
