Chapter Ninety-Nine: Face Saint
After lunch, Di Lian shared some account books with Uncle Wen and Liu Junchen, and it was already evening when she returned home.
The carriage drove into the gate, and Tillian got off the station to settle down, but when she raised her eyes, she saw a slender figure in a blood-colored robe standing under the open corridor.
Seeing that Tillian was returning home, the man paced down the steps lightly, and when he got closer, his delicate and white face was a little shy, and he bowed his head slightly, "Miss Jiang." ”
This male and female indisputable, shy and introverted person like a child, is the first-class governor who commands the 150,000 Royal Forest Army, Feng Yu.
But I haven't seen him for a long time.
Di Lian smiled lightly and curtsied, "Lord Feng." After the death of the first emperor, Feng Yan resigned according to the old practice, so that Di Lian could call the former Feng Shao General 'Lord Feng'.
Seeing her salute, Feng Yu's white face was slightly red, and she seemed to be more restrained, her eyes were as clear as stars, and she smiled politely, "Miss Jiang doesn't need to be polite, Feng Yu came to the Prime Minister's Mansion today because His Majesty had a decree to summon Miss Jiang, and asked Miss Jiang to follow Feng Yu into the palace to face the saint." ”
Calling again? Since the day she returned to Beijing, Emperor An's will to summon came every three or five times, and it was Mo Yu a few days ago, but today it has changed to Feng Yu.
It seems that if you don't see your own side, Emperor An will really have trouble sleeping.
Thinking slightly in her heart, Di Lian's face was silent, "I don't know what Your Majesty is calling Di Lian for this time?" ”
Feng Yu smiled shyly, and her voice was low, "I heard that Miss Jiang and the third master of Rongguo Mansion Xie Sanye are about to have a good thing, not only Your Majesty, but also the Empress Dowager, the masters of the harem want to give congratulatory gifts, so Miss Jiang should enter the palace with Feng Yu, and thank you for the generous gift by the way, and save yourself another trip in the future." ”
So soon, the palace knew that he and Zixu were going to get married, and the wedding cards sent by the Xie family to the families of the various families had not yet been written.
This is going to be a tough battle, Di Lian sighed in her heart, and said with a shallow lip, "In that case, please Rong Di Lian put on a whole bunch of makeup, and wait for a while." ”
Since you have to run this trip sooner or later, lest Zixu pretend to be hard in front of everyone when she arrives, let's solve this trouble by yourself.
As long as she is willing to enter the palace, don't say wait, even wait until tomorrow morning, Feng Yu will not complain.
His delicate face smiled gently, bowed his head slightly, and followed Tillian to the back house.
The winter sky was dark early, and when Tilian changed her palace clothes and went downstairs, it was already night, and the palace gate was about to fall at this hour, and Princess Shenghua knew that she was going to enter the palace and was naturally very uneasy, so she brought someone over early.
She sat in the lobby on the first floor and waited, Feng Yu sat at the bottom, and the two talked from time to time, but the atmosphere was not harmonious.
Seeing Di Lian coming down, Princess Sheng Hua got up from the soft couch, glanced at Feng Yu, and paced forward and whispered, "It's too late today, and it won't be possible to go tomorrow." ”
Tillian smiled lightly, "The princess thinks so." Emperor An couldn't wait to see her, knowing that she would enter the palace, not to mention that the palace gate was keyed, even if the imperial city gate was opened again, he would wait for her to go.
Of course, Princess Shenghua also knew Emperor An's stubborn and stubborn thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh tiredly.
"If you go at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the palace until tomorrow morning, this whole night is really unsettling."
"Don't let the Xie family know about this matter yet." , Di Lian hesitated for a moment, whispered, saw Princess Shenghua nodded in a daze, then looked at Feng Yu with a light smile and said, "Lord Feng, let's go." ”
Sitting in the carriage where the night is like bright day, Di Lian looked at the night pearl inlaid on the corner wall of the car, and the moon eyes reflected the faint waves, in fact, it is good to enter the palace at night, and the words that Li Qi said in the diner Huan today made her only feel that she had met Na Ji, if there were many eyes and ears in the palace in the daytime, she would have to worry about the truth.
It's still the imperial study, and now it's dinner time, Feng Yu sent her to the door of the imperial study and retreated, he still has to be on duty tonight.
Sida waited at the door early, watched Feng Yu go away, and bowed down to lead Tilian straight inside.
"Entering the palace at this hour, His Majesty knows that Miss Jiang has not eaten, and has already ordered someone to prepare it."
Dai's eyebrows were raised slightly, and Tillian glanced at him with a smile, and bowed her chin.
Although it was night, the place where the emperor lived was always golden and splendid, and the lights and candles and night pearls placed in various parts of the palace were reflected, and the whole imperial study was more visible than day.
accompanied the emperor to dinner in the imperial study, I am afraid that she is the only one who has this 'honor'.
"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang has arrived."
In the middle of the imperial study is a white gold silk nanmu eight-treasure table, more than a dozen dishes are arranged on the table, An Di is sitting upright at the table, he naturally saw Tillian coming, he has not seen it for more than two years, this beautiful and dusty woman, is really looking forward to it.
His gaze kept falling on Mount Tilian, and he didn't blink, but waved his hand back to Sida.
There were only the two of them left, and Emperor An said in a low voice, "Sit down." ”
Tilian lightly hooked her lips and curtsied, "Thank you." ”
Sitting straight to the table, the elegant posture of the noble lady held by Tillian disappeared, she held the silver chopsticks in her hand, glanced at the dishes on the table that seemed to be her favorite food, and randomly chose a nearby glutinous rice duck chopsticks.
Comfortable and rude, Emperor An looked at the woman sitting opposite and feasting, Shen Rui's dragon eyes smiled softly, she could be so comfortable in front of herself, it could be regarded as a comfort, at least it was not as indifferent and stinging as her attitude of refusing to enter the palace.
Tillian eats neither fast nor slow, she has always been particular about eating, and 'taste' is her greatest pleasure in eating.
An Di didn't move, just took a cup of tea and slowly sipped it, admiring the elegance in her bones that could not be concealed when she ate without manners, seeing that she was getting slower and slower, as if she was about to fill her stomach, An Di Fang smiled and spoke.
"The cook in the palace, can you still have a heart?"
Chewing on the crispy and tender 'Golden Clay Shrimp Beads' in her mouth, Tillian took a mouthful of rice and put it in her mouth, nodded in a vague but word-by-word voice, "The chef in the imperial dining room is naturally first-class. After all, he is serving the most honorable person in the world.
An Di chuckled, put down the teacup, and sat with his hands on his knees to look at her steadily, "I really heard people say that Zuo Xiang's daughter has three good, good money, good food, and good Xie Hengxu." It seems that what I said is true, I knew that this was the case, and I might as well use the excuse of 'tasting good food' when I announced you. ”
Taking out a silk handkerchief from her waist to wipe the oil stains on the corners of her lips, Tillian stroked her belly that was treated by the food, and bent her lips, "Tillian is indeed delicious, but she will only be picky when she should eat." ”
Again, he politely refused.
An Di's eyes were slightly dark, but he still had a warm smile on his face, and said gently, "Your temperament is too great, last time, it was me who was abrupt, and I compensated you, so don't take it to heart." ”
It's a soft game. Di Lian's heart was secretly worried, and the moon eyes bent shallowly, "What did Your Majesty say, Di Lian doesn't know." ”
An Di shook his head helplessly, "Don't mention it." The dragon's eyes swirled around her softly, and then sighed, "You really shouldn't be so willful, you actually escaped from the capital in order to avoid me, look, you must have suffered a lot." You know, I only gave the phoenix hairpin because you rejected me before, if you don't want to enter the palace, how can I force you. ”
You really didn't force me, but you wanted Zixu's life, Tillian sneered in her heart.
With slightly curved eyebrows and lowered eyelids, Di Lian smiled lightly, "I heard Lord Feng say that His Majesty summoned Di Lian to give Di Lian and Zixu a wedding gift. ”
Get married. These two words really pierced Emperor An, the dragon palm he placed on his knee was slightly clenched, and the gentle smile on his face stiffened, but only for a moment, he regained a gentle look.
"The marriage between the Prime Minister and the Xie family, not only me, but everyone in the harem must also prepare generous gifts, but this is secondary, what else do you want, just tell me."
I want you not to appear in front of me again.
"Your Majesty and your lords can be rewarded, and Tillian is very honored."
"Tillian." , sighed lightly, a little tiredness appeared between Emperor An's eyebrows, and his smile was a little dry, "Xie Hengxu looks like this now, you still insist on marrying him as a wife, right?" ”
The moon's eyes lifted slightly, and Di Lian smiled quietly and said in a low voice, "No matter what he looks like, I am not married to him." ”
"You love him so much that you don't even care about the rest of your life."
"If you haven't loved, you naturally won't understand that true love is to be dependent on each other and never give up, and if you really love him, you should know what is good for him, and even for him to live well, you can not reciprocate the dedication of yourself."
"The word love is the taboo of the emperor, you said that I have never loved, but I think that it is because I have violated this taboo that I will be forced to retreat by you."
"陛xià. Regardless of whether Her Majesty really has any interest in Tillian, Tillian doesn't want to be a disaster. For thousands of years, too many emperors have given up their love for the sake of the country, so that they can be praised and praised for a hundred generations, and there are too many emperors who love beauty and do not love the country, but what fate they have ended, there is no need for Tillian to say more. How can you have both bear paws and fish? Jiangshan beauty, which one does Majesty choose? ”
The dark dragon eyes were slightly stunned, Emperor An looked at her in a daze, his mind was buzzing, the country, the beauty, he wanted it all, but he understood that if the beauty was Tillian, even if he forcibly locked her in the harem, she would not only toss him and ruin, but also would not let him achieve his wish to embrace the beauty.
"I." , the throat is dry, and An Di can't say it.
Di Lian smiled lightly, "If Your Majesty is Mingjun, you will choose Jiangshan." If Majesty is a faint king, he will choose beauty, and Majesty knows that Tillian has a hard temperament and would rather be unyielding, and before folding, she will be vicious to ask Her Majesty to cushion her back. ”
Emperor An shook his head helplessly and tiredly, "You arranged for the jade concubine to come to me, didn't you just place chess pieces next to me, and what else did you do to prevent me?" You don't have to go through such a mind to deal with me, if you want to know, as long as you open your mouth, I will tell you. ”
In fact, since deciding to send Naki to the palace, Tillian guessed that Emperor An would one day find out that she had been planted by his side.
However, although he said this, Tillian did not think that if she asked, Emperor An would really tell her, for example, about Xie Hengxu.
"She wants to be prosperous and rich, Tilian is just an adult beauty, the jade concubine is gentle and virtuous, and she is warm and considerate by her side, it is better than Dilian being vicious and calculating at all times." , the moon eyes are clear, Di Lian whispered, "Actually, Your Majesty is a diligent monarch who is good at scheming, and Di Lian is a person who is deep and dark in the city, if the world can't go my way, and if you don't turn the world upside down, you won't stop." Don't let Tilian's existence become a cliff on the road to the rule of the world. ”
Emperor An was silent, and sighed for a while, "You said a lot and did a lot, but it was just to prevent me from inducing me to give up my thoughts about you." Rest assured, I know very well in my heart what kind of situation I will find myself in if I push you to a corner, and if you don't nod your head, I won't do anything beyond the norm again.
