275: Admission to the palace
"Where the Imperial City is, where the Son of Heaven lives. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
These eight words are destined to be magnificent and prosperous.
On March 22, Cui Min, Gao Zizhang and others arrived in the capital with Xue Chengjiao, said goodbye to Liu Guangtong at the city gate, saw him off first, and then took Xue Chengjiao back to Gao's house.
Xue Chengjiao sat in the carriage, and if she encountered a very lively place, she couldn't help but gently open a corner of the curtain on the side and look out secretly.
This is the capital, where she will live in the future.
Xing's mother accompanied her in the carriage, and when she saw her like this, she smiled helplessly and grabbed her hand back.
XUE Chengjiao. Small. With a pout, he leaned back on the carriage and stopped looking out.
From the city gate to the outside of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, it took about half an hour.
Cui Min and Gao Zizhang dismounted outside the house, and naturally a small servant came forward to take over.
Later, Wei Shu and Yan Sang helped Xue Chengjiao get out of the carriage, and the two of them waited on the steps for a while before leading Xue Chengjiao all the way inside.
After walking for a while, Xue Chengjiao looked around: "Is Uncle at home today?" ”
Cui Min counted the time and shook his head: "At this hour, it is estimated that he is still in the hall." ”
Saying that, he remembered Cui Pu's matter, so he couldn't help but ask more: "Do you have something?" ”
Xue Chengjiao shook his head with a slight smile and did not reply.
Everyone stepped through the weeping flower gate and saw the Zheng family waiting inside at a glance.
When Zheng saw Xue Chengjiao, he was happy and red-eyed.
She stepped forward a few steps, hugged Xue Chengjiao and took it into her arms: "My son, you can be considered safe, your cousin wrote back a letter before, saying that you were sick in Jin County, but I don't know that I and your uncle are worried in our hearts, and we are always worried about these days." ”
Xue Chengjiao's pen tip was sore, and she hugged Zheng with her backhand, and rubbed her head on her shoulder: "How can my aunt come out to pick me up." ”
Zheng followed her back: "What is this worth, I can't wait to see my precious niece and daughter, who doesn't want me to come out to meet two steps?" ”
Hearing this, Xue Chengjiao turned to a smile.
Zheng pulled Xue Chengjiao away a little before turning to Cui Min and asking, "How is it?" I didn't send any more letters all the way back, and nothing went wrong, right? ”
Cui Min raised his lips and smiled: "No, I came back a little later, I stayed in Jin County for two more days, called Chengjiao to recuperate again, we only got on the road on the fifth day of the first month of March." ”
Zheng sighed, but didn't ask anything more, only took Xue Chengjiao's hand and walked into the house with her: "It's good to be back, what I asked the small kitchen to prepare today is what you like to eat, but your body is good, we will be gone with big fish and meat, it's good to eat some light food." After waiting for a long time, I asked someone to invite a few doctors to come, let's take a good look, the body is well, more important than anything else. If you have anything else you want to eat, let's do it alone. ”
Xue Chengjiao felt that this was the feeling of home.
In the past, when I was in Cui's house, my aunt also asked for warmth like this.
Now that she is in the capital, her aunt loves her like this.
In this world, there is bitterness, and there is sweetness.
No matter how much she has been wronged, looking at Zheng's loving face at this moment, most of the depression in her heart has dissipated.
Cui Min followed beside him, wanting to speak and stopping, probably seeing that Zheng was happy like this, it was difficult to interrupt.
It wasn't until someone from outside the house spread the word that someone from the palace was coming from the palace, and Zheng's footsteps stopped.
She raised her eyebrows slightly: "What are people from the palace doing?" ”
The boy who came to deliver the message bowed: "It was said that His Majesty summoned him to ask the county lord to enter the palace to meet him." ”
Xue Chengjiao sighed in her heart, and her hand holding Zheng's couldn't help but tighten.
Zheng was also stunned, and immediately calmed down.
Xue Chengjiao is now the county lord, since she has entered Beijing and entered the palace to meet her, this is what she should do.
It's just that Cui Min listened to it next to him, and he knew very well in his heart that most of the people here were still mixed with Liu Guangtong.
Xue Chengjiao was obviously at a loss, and called her aunt.
Zheng patted the back of her hand, and the meaning of reassurance was very strong: "Don't be afraid, you just came to Beijing, and Your Majesty summoned you, this is exactly what values you, besides, you have been sealed, since you have arrived in the capital, you should have kowtowed to thank you." ”
She couldn't say anything, and she couldn't tell the people in the palace to wait, so she had to nod her head.
When Cui Min saw her like this, he replied to Zheng: "I'll send her out." ”
Zheng didn't think it was inappropriate, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Then you just go with her, wait at the palace gate, she will only arrive in the capital, I don't know the place well, I don't worry." ”
Cui Minxin said that this was redundant, but he didn't show his face silently, and he belched before calling Xue Chengjiao once.
Xue Chengjiao squatted down and saluted Zheng, and then followed Cui Min outside.
The two of them went out of the weeping flower door, and Xue Chengjiao turned his face and asked him, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to see me?" ”
"What my aunt said is good, Your Majesty values you, and obviously takes you to heart," Cui Min explained to her as he walked, "But it should be Liu Gong who mentioned you in front of His Majesty, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to enter the palace so soon." ”
Xue Chengjiao bit her lower lip: "I'm a little afraid of ......"
The biggest scene she had ever seen was nothing more than walking between her relatives or the noblewomen of the world.
Suddenly said that he wanted to ask her to go to the residence of the Son of Heaven, how could she not be afraid?
Cui Min naturally knew, moved his hand, and stroked her head: "Don't be afraid, if you have the rules, there will be no mistakes." Besides, Liu Gong is a close attendant, if you go, naturally he is also there, if there is anything wrong, he will speak for you. ”
The two went out of the house all the way, and when they saw the little eunuch who came to pass the word, Cui Min gave him a reward first, and then followed him all the way to the palace.
When she arrived at the gate of the palace, Cui Min comforted and explained a few more words before waving her hand and calling her in.
Stepping into the gate of the palace, Xue Chengjiao felt the oppression coming to her face.
Perhaps it is precisely because it is so solemn that it will inevitably make people feel awe.
She thought about it again, there was a Ninety-Five Supreme living here, who was in charge of the power of life and death in the world, and there was a palpitation for no reason.
Thinking of this, I can't move my legs.
The little eunuch who led the way turned his face and saw that she didn't move, so he hurriedly took a few steps back with a smile: "County Lord, what's wrong?" ”
Xue Chengjiao didn't want to show her timidity in front of others, so she bit her lower lip and shook her head.
But she didn't say anything, and she didn't move.
The little eunuch was also a little at a loss, he didn't dare to urge, let alone pull her, and stood by helplessly.
Not long after, Xue Chengjiao saw someone coming from afar.
When the man got closer, she looked intently before she recognized who it was.
Yes, she also met a few palace attendants today, and none of them can speak the same as him.
Liu Guangtong is always so radiant.
Xue Chengjiao's feet moved, and he stepped forward: "Gong Liu." ”
Liu Guangtong smiled in his eyes: "What? Don't dare to go in? ”
When did the little eunuch next to him see Liu Guangtong who was joking with others, he couldn't help but look at Xue Chengjiao again.
Xue Chengjiao pursed her lips for a long time, seemingly embarrassed.
Liu Guangtong laughed twice: "What are you afraid of, Your Majesty asked me to come out to greet you," he said and pointed at himself again, "You need to know that even the ministers of the six ministries can call me to greet you." (To be continued.) )
