Chapter 21: Why Did He Come?

Xia Zimo had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, it was already past breakfast time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

She grabbed her soft head and long hair in infinite chagrin, didn't she decide a long time ago - she would never sleep lazily again when she lived in the Jin Palace, but now ...... Alas! It's so unfortunate!

Why didn't anyone wake her up today? Duanmu Li, they should have waited a long time ago!

At this time, there was a soft voice outside the door, and Xia Zimo pricked up his ears and heard Steward Zhang saying to Tongtong, "Hasn't Mr. Xia gotten up yet?"

"No, but it should be soon!" Tongtong guessed.

"The prince asked me to tell Xia Gongzi that he went to the morning court, and there is a meal prepared in the kitchen, and he can eat it whenever he wants." Steward Zhang said what he meant.

"When Childe wakes up, I'll tell Childe!" Tongtong was originally the maid by Duanmu Li's side, and she was very careful in her work, and she won Duanmu Li's trust, so she was sent over to serve Xia Zimo.

"That's fine, then I'll go!" Tongtong's proposal was very much to his liking, and he left with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Zhang walks slowly." Tongtong escorted Steward Zhang out of the courtyard door.

It turned out that Duanmu Li went to the court, no wonder she didn't wake up to eat! It turns out that he also needs to go to the early court! After living here for so many days, she didn't see him go to the early court, and she thought that there was no such thing as going to the court here! Xia Zimo thought so, and put on her clothes unhurriedly.

In fact, Duanmu Li does not need to go to court every day, the emperor once issued a holy decree, which is roughly written: Duanmu Li, the king of Jin, must be present when something major happens, and the rest of the time can be used at will. It means that when there is nothing big in the ordinary, you can go to him as soon as you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't go.

He is the only one who has received this honor, which is enough to see the emperor's favor for Duanmu Li. Because of this incident, Duanmu Li was also squeezed by the brothers for a period of time.

He will go today, just because he promised Xia Mo yesterday to help him find some craftsmen, and he needs to go and say hello to the Ministry of Works.

When the emperor stepped into the court, he saw Duanmu Li, who had not appeared for a long time, and was shocked, and even forgot the stairs under his feet.

The emperor sat firmly on the imperial chair and stared at Duanmu Li fiercely, wanting to see some clues from his expression, but he was doomed to be disappointed. Duanmu Li will appear here today completely for Xia Zimo, he is here to find the Ministry of Works, not to him at all. Duanmu Li calmly faced the emperor's questioning gaze.

The emperor's heart is even more bottomless! What the hell is the matter with this son of his! The last time Duanmu Li stood here was five years ago, and he appeared here with a murderous aura. Mu Li found him at the back end of the early dynasty and asked him for a shadow guard, and then that night, more than thirty people disappeared in the capital. It took a lot of effort for the emperor to calm down the matter.

Since then, Duanmu Li has been running to the General's Mansion more often, just to practice, no longer to play with Xu Tianfeng, he seems to have grown up overnight. So what is he suddenly here for this time?

The emperor finished the early dynasty with trepidation, and after announcing his retreat from the dynasty, he deliberately walked very slowly and waited for Duanmu Li to come to him. But he waited and waited, but he didn't see Duanmu Li's figure, and he was in a hurry in his heart: Why didn't Li Er come? Finally, when he saw the door of the imperial study, he couldn't hold back any longer, and said quietly to the father-in-law who was accompanying him: "Go and invite the King of Jin to come to the imperial study."

As the ruler of a country, no matter what his ideals are, he must maintain a calm and breezy appearance on his face and always maintain a faint smile. For example, if someone scolds him, he will definitely order that person to die while maintaining a noble smile. For example, if someone poisons his food, he will laugh at all the suspects and eat it all.

If it weren't for the fact that he almost fell just now, Gonggong Chen, who had been waiting for him for many years, might not have been able to understand his thoughts.

"Yes!" Gonggong Chen speculated on the holy will and hurried to find Duanmu Li. Finally, he stopped Duanmu Li at the gate of the palace. He hurriedly said: "The prince has found you, the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial study!"

"What did my father ask me for?" Duanmu Li asked impatiently, he had just said hello to the Ministry of Works, and now he was in a hurry to go back to the house to tell Xia Mo! I don't know if he's up yet?

He is like an arrow, and now he has run out of a person who wants to block his way, it is so hateful!

"The minions don't know." No matter how accurate it may be, it must never be said. Masters like minions who are not very smart, and pretending to be stupid at the right time is the secret of Gonggong Chen's standing in the palace for many years. He has been in charge of Ouchi for more than ten years!

"Then I won't go, it's nothing big anyway, I'll come back another day to say goodbye. Just tell my father like this, trouble Gonggong Chen. Duanmu Li believed that the emperor would not be angry when he heard such words, but would be quite relieved. He knew why his father was in such a hurry to find him.

He directly bypassed Gonggong Chen and walked out of the palace.

When he returned to the Jin Palace, Xia Zimo was eating breakfast and lunch. Duanmu Li's gloomy face immediately showed a smile, and he didn't know why he would be very happy as long as he saw him, without any reason. Even now he is still suspicious of him. He smiled and asked, "Xiaomo, did you just get up?"

"Hmm!" Xia Zimo finished the last bite of food, took the handkerchief handed by Duanmu Li and wiped his mouth elegantly, and then said, "I heard that you went to the morning court?"

"Yes! I didn't go to the early dynasty very much, but yesterday I promised you to go to the Ministry of Industry to find you a few people, I went to say hello to the Ministry of Industry, and it was more convenient to use people! ”

"Yes! Thank you ha! Xia Zimo's indifferent expression was a little grateful.

She was a little moved after hearing that he was going for her, and she really didn't want to continue her false politeness in the face of such a dedicated Duanmu Li. She didn't know how to express her feelings for a while, her face was a little stiff, and her tone was a little cold. She's too unruly at times!

Fortunately, Duanmu Li didn't feel any dissatisfaction, he continued to smile and asked, "Are you going to the Qinglou today?"

"When will those people come?" Xia Zimo didn't answer the question first, but asked about this first.

"Tomorrow, some people still have some work to do." Duanmu Li asked the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to ask for the best craftsmanship in the Ministry of Industry, and most of them were working. The Ministry of Industry Shangshu asked them to have a day to solve the matter at hand, and Duanmu Li agreed.

"Then I'm not going today. It didn't help me to go. ”

"Why don't I take you around the palace today! You've been staying for a few days and haven't seen much of it. ”

"Okay!" Xia Zimo readily agreed. On the night she came in, she had enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the palace by the moonlight, and she has seen some of them in the past few days, which shows that the scenery of the palace is really good!

The Jin Palace's Mansion is really big, and they have turned around for a full hour, during which there are countless pavilions and pavilions, and all kinds of flowers are blooming, most of which even Xia Zimo doesn't know their names.

If it was a medicinal herb, there was almost nothing she didn't recognize, and to exaggerate, even if those herbs turned to ashes, she could recognize them. But in the face of these flowers, she is a little powerless.

Xia Zimo was a little reluctant to continue as she walked around, maybe it was aesthetic fatigue! The scenery of each place is the same beauty, the same exquisiteness, which is enough to see the huge effort of those people when the mansion was built. But it's not harmonious enough, and it's also not new! If you see too much of this scenery, you will get tired of it!

Also, those are delicate flowers that have been carefully cared for, and cannot tolerate a little destruction. Xia Zimo likes flowers that have gone through ups and downs and bloomed brilliantly on the cliffs, which have a unique beauty that deeply shocks her heart. She had always thought that such flowers were precious, far from being comparable to these delicate flowers.

"Duanmuli, it's almost noon, there will be a chance to visit again in the future, let's go back!"

Xia Zimo had just had breakfast not long ago, and now she was not hungry at all, so she went back to her room to rest. Duanmu Li had lunch alone.

In the afternoon, Xia Zimo found Duanmu Li and proposed to him: "Duanmu Li, let's go visit the General's Mansion!" ”

Duanmu Li thought that Xiaomo's age was the time to be fun, so he accompanied her to the General's Mansion.

The layout of the General's Mansion is very different from the Jin Palace, it does not have the delicacy of the Jin Palace, but it has a unique charm.

Xia Zimo didn't see too many pavilions and pavilions along the way, but instead saw dozens of martial arts training grounds, large and small. There are several shelves in each martial arts training ground, and there are many weapons on the shelves, the most common ones are swords, guns, bows, whips, hammers, and in addition to these, there are many weapons that Xia Zimo can't name.

Many of the lieutenants and generals in the barracks were born here, and it is the cradle of people who are eager to make meritorious contributions, and it is deeply loved by the majority of martial arts people! Many training grounds are in use: some are family members of the General's Mansion, some are guest secretaries of the General's Mansion, and some are already in some official positions in the army.

They found Xu Qianfeng in one of the practice camps, and he was teaching others. Among the men, there was a man who was more beautiful than a woman who was teaching earnestly. He showed a side that Xia Zimo had never seen before-seriousness.

In the past, he always remained calm, even if he was sometimes thundered by her, but he would recover his composure in a short time, and now he has an extra layer of seriousness in his calmness.

"Why are you here?" Xu Tianfeng said calmly to the two people who suddenly appeared, and the question sentence was stunned by him and turned into a declarative sentence. He was even calmer than Xia Zimo had ever seen.
