Chapter 327: Audience with the Holy One
Xia Wen saw that the guards at the gate of the palace were all towering and upright, as if they couldn't feel the cold, and secretly admired. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Glancing at his master again, standing at the tuyere in front of the hall and waiting, it was inevitable that he was a little distressed, and couldn't help but tighten his clothes for Yurao, Yurao held Xia Wen's hand, and said with a smile: "The sun is very good today, it doesn't hurt to wait for a while, I won't feel cold."
"Although there is sunshine, it is not spring after all, and the warm sun in winter is not warm through the body." Xia Wen said while tidying up Yurao's clothes.
"When people's hearts are warm, they don't feel cold." Yurao looked at Xia Wen with a smile, it's so good, everyone around her is single-minded, that's really good.
Xia Wen listened to Yurao's words, and knew in her heart that Yurao now trusts herself very much, and her loyalty in her heart has increased.
Yurao's entry into the palace is not a courtier's entry into the court, and what she goes to is not the Qiankun Palace, but the Huaqing Palace, where Emperor Chengwu works and rests daily.
It's a big palace-like building, the golden glazed tiles shine dazzlingly in the sun, and the top of the red vermilion lacquer door hangs a black golden silk nanmu plaque, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances on it and inscribes three big characters 'Huaqing Palace'.
I don't know if Emperor Chengwu did it on purpose or if the father-in-law was not doing well, Yurao actually waited for a cup of tea, and it was only passed on inside.
After entering the door, Yu Rao acted cautiously, while secretly looking, on the throne of the golden lacquer carved dragon in the hall, there was a king who looked down on the world, just when Yu Rao was still carefully observing, only to hear an order.
"Jiang Yurao, don't you kneel when you see the emperor?" It was the father-in-law Xia at the door before, who was about to lose his rudeness when he saw Yurao and caused dissatisfaction among the saints, so he shouted in a girlish voice.
When Yurao heard this, she didn't think it was a reprimand, but she only felt that it was a kind reminder from this Xia Gonggong, and she knelt down and said: "Courtier Yurao greets the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live."
Yurao is also a person who has seen the world, although she suddenly saw such a scene just now and couldn't react for a while, and she was a little stunned, but after being reminded by the eunuch, she hurriedly saluted, Yurao, who had been taught by Mama Zhou, did not have half a bit of cowardice in the whole set of actions, and Emperor Chengwu nodded secretly in his heart.
"Well, let's get even." Emperor Chengwu's voice was calm and heavy.
"Your Majesty." Yurao heard Emperor Chengwu's order, hurriedly stood up, and stood aside with his hands down, after all, Emperor Chengwu has been the superior for many years and has a heavy heavenly majesty.
"You are Jiang Yurao, and your father is Taichangqing Shaoqing Jiang Bojun?" Emperor Chengwu looked at the delicate woman in front of him and couldn't help asking.
"The emperor is wise, and the courtiers are the daughters of Shaoqing of Taichang Temple." Thinking that it is always not wrong to pat the horse's ass, when he opened his mouth, he exclaimed.
Hearing Yu Rao's answer, her voice was steady, and she didn't seem to be cowardly because she was summoned by Emperor Chengwu, which made Emperor Chengwu a little suspicious.
"Raise your head and let me see." The sweet and soft voice makes people even more curious about her appearance.
When Yu Rao heard this, he raised his head according to the order, Emperor Chengwu looked at Yu Rao's dignified and old demeanor, but he didn't expect it to be such a beautiful and fragrant face, his eyebrows were not painted, his eyes were shining, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was a stunning person in the world.
"I didn't expect Jiang Aiqing to have such a blessing to give birth to a beautiful daughter like you." Emperor Chengwu said sneeringly.
Yurao felt that why Emperor Chengwu said this was a bit of a gritted tooth, and what made her feel strange was that she was summoned into the palace because of Yurao's relief of the victims, why did she care so much about her appearance?
Yu Rao didn't dare to open her mouth when she heard this, after all, the saint's temperament is unpredictable today, and no one dares to speculate on what he wants.
"Your maternal ancestor is the Li family of the Chengguo Mansion?" Although Emperor Chengwu's words were interrogative, Yurao knew that Emperor Chengwu must have known, so she asked.
Yurao nodded yes when she heard this, but she felt so strange in her heart, how does this feel like checking your household registration? It was as if the eighteen generations of the ancestors had to check it again, and they didn't know what Emperor Chengwu was thinking, so he said slowly after a while: "I heard that when the victims entered Beijing a year ago, you set up a porridge tent to relieve the victims?"
Emperor Chengwu obviously received the report, but he still needs to confirm it again.
"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers have indeed set up porridge tents." Now that everyone knows, there is nothing to hide, and if you do a good deed, you are afraid that people will not be able to say it?
"You are young, how can you have such an idea, is it at the behest of your family, or what?" Emperor Chengwu looked at Yurao at the moment as if he had seen a girl next door, at a young age as petals, could he do such a thing?
Emperor Chengwu had some doubts, he was most afraid that some people would win people's hearts in the name of this, Jiang Bojun was good at drilling camps, and what his daughter did was not deliberately instructed by him in order to be promoted?
It was normal for Emperor Chengwu to be suspicious, but Yurao did not do this in the name of the Jiang family at the beginning.
It wasn't until she was found out by Jing Zhaoyin's Mansion that others knew that this matter was still related to Yurao, and now Emperor Chengwu asked her like this, naturally because she was mostly suspicious.
Originally, it was a good thing to help the victims, and she was not alone, she was just a drop in the ocean of many good deeds, but Emperor Chengwu summoned her, presumably she also had a calculation.
Regardless of merit or demerit, it should be decided by others, Yurao thought that what she did was worthy of her heart, so she simply admitted it and said: "Although it is said that the courtiers are the masters without authorization, but the courtiers are also because they have been trained by the ancestors of the family, so they are like this."
Is this self-inflicted or is it at the behest of her family?
Emperor Chengwu was a little surprised when he heard Yurao's words, and habitually raised his eyebrows, this is an extremely familiar action of Yurao, and he was a little stunned for a while.
But suddenly I heard Emperor Chengwu say, "Oh? Sure enough, you are the only one who makes your own decisions, which is strange, you are young and a woman, how can you show up to do such a thing? ”
Emperor Chengwu's words are a little unclear, what is called a young age, what is called a woman, what is wrong with a young woman, is it difficult to achieve something from your heart? And that's still a good thing?
"Although the courtiers said that they showed their heads, the courtiers were also dressed in men's clothes and did not cause unnecessary trouble, and the courtiers did this only because the victims were displaced and had nothing to rely on, and the courtiers could only give them a place to settle on their own."
What Emperor Chengwu said, Yurao did do it, whether it was setting up a porridge tent, relieving the victims, and inviting a doctor for them so that they would not be displaced, she had done all of them, and she didn't have anyone's instructions, it was all based on her own heart, since it was not a bad thing, it was nothing to admit it generously.
