Chapter 186: First Sight of the Empress
After a daze, Pang Ruolan saw Xiaoxiang with makeup appear beside her, and hurriedly whispered to her: "You go find a guy to move out the tables and chairs with moths, burn them on the spot, and ......"
Pang Ruolan whispered to Xiaoxiang for a moment, and after a while, she saw several Nine Heavens Pavilion guys move a few chairs out.
"Everybody's up! Our Jiutian Pavilion tables and chairs are all specially made of Nanmu inlaid with gold edges! There are moths today, and now in front of everyone, burn all the chairs that have been eroded by moths, one is to give you an explanation! The second is that we Jiutian Pavilion would rather lose money than tolerate any slight flaws, even if it is just tables and chairs related to food and drink! As the men fell, the firelight illuminated the faces of the onlookers, and several chairs containing moths were burned in public.
"Good!" Pang Ruolan hid in the crowd and took the lead in shouting.
"Good!"
"Good!!"
"Good !!"
The applause came one after another, and the applause was endless.
"Humph! Let's go! Several women who were looking for fault saw that all the onlookers were standing on the side of the Nine Heavens Pavilion and walked away.
Pang Ruolan in the crowd knew that this was just the beginning, as long as the Nine Heavens Pavilion was still open for a day, Zhuo Sheng would not stop suppressing.
Seeing that Yoshiji was not injured, Pang Ruolan left the scene, came to the vicinity of the smoke house, and nodded to Yi San lurking in the smoke house.
After seeing Yisan shake his head, Pang Ruolan knew that the behind-the-scenes boss of the smoke house might be a companion who was also from the 21st century, and he had no news and had not shown up.
Pang Ruolan, who was about to walk back to the secluded mansion, was held hostage into the alley by two groups of black-clothed people who suddenly arrived.
"Tonight. Someone will come and take you into the Imperial City. The voice of one of the men in black was familiar.
"Are you the secret guards of the imperial court? Could it be that the empress wants to see me? Pang Ruolan looked around, and it was obvious that the nearby streets had been cleared, and there were no idle people.
"You'll know when you see it." With a gesture from the black-clothed man in the lead, more than a dozen black-clothed people quickly disappeared.
"You ......" Since coming down the mountain, this is the first time to see the empress, Pang Ruolan is uneasy.
Back in the secluded mansion, it was already evening, Pang Ruolan bathed and changed clothes, and waited in the room for the summons.
"Knock knock" With the knock on the door, Pang Ruolan's heart seemed to jump out of her chest. Suddenly.
"Please come in." As the words fell. The person who walked into the room was the shadow hidden place that had not been seen for a long time.
"It's good that you're wearing black clothes, so it's easy to walk in the dark." A faint gaze swept over Pang Ruolan's black dress. Motioned for her to follow him.
Earlier, I greeted Qianmo and the others. Therefore, no one in the courtyard of the secluded mansion was looking at it at this moment.
Pang Ruolan got into a carriage pulled by four tall horses. The men in black drove in the direction of the imperial city.
Pang Ruolan, who secretly opened the curtain, saw that there was no one in the street, and the officers and soldiers must have made preparations a long time ago. Is this the majesty of the empress? It's really watertight. Scrupulous.
Thinking so, Pang Ruolan secretly speculated about the purpose and reason why the empress suddenly summoned her. There were many people in black just now, and he couldn't explain much to himself, but the late-night summoning was obviously not a compliment.
The sound of horses' hooves, in the palace of the imperial city under the starry sky, the ground paved with fine white jade glowed with a warm glow in the bright moonlight at midnight. The phoenix carved from the high-quality nanmu inlaid with gold lies on the eaves and spreads its wings, and the hollow carved agarwood floating window has complex patterns.
Pang Ruolan stepped on the layers of white jade steps, and her hands were full of beads of sweat at the moment.
In the Imperial City Palace, which covers an extremely wide area, there are all kinds of precious porcelain in the luxurious hall, rare antiques, gold and jade carved dragon chairs, a middle-aged woman is dressed in bright yellow dragon and phoenix silk clothes, her face is like frost, and she is not angry and self-assured.
"The minister has seen the king, long live the king, long live the king."
"Wechen has seen the empress, long live the king, long live long live."
Pang Ruolan knelt on one knee like everyone else, and said loudly: "The grass people have seen the king, and they bow to the king, long live, long live, long live." ”
The hall was cold and quiet, and the needles could be heard for a while.
After waiting for a while, a lazy and dignified voice finally sounded in the hall: "Get up." ”
"Thank you, the king."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The grass people thank the king."
Pang Ruolan faced the empress for the first time, and saw that on the dragon chair carved in gold and jade, a middle-aged woman was dressed in bright yellow dragon and phoenix silk, her face was like frost, and she was not angry and arrogant. At this moment, he looked at himself with little interest, and hurriedly lowered his gaze.
"You're Youlan." It's a question, but it's more of a scrutiny.
"Yes, Folk Girl Youlan. I have always been grateful to God, and I am very grateful. Pang Ruolan understood that the empress was warning herself not to call herself by Pang Ruo's surname, and she thought that Youlan would be her future title to the outside world.
"Do you know why I suddenly summoned you today?" The empress's voice was full of displeasure, and for a while, the sound of gasping was endless.
"The people's daughters have not been able to complete the tasks assigned by the king, and the people's daughters will not be able to repay the grace of the saint after ten thousand deaths." Pang Ruolan knelt on one knee and said: "I only hope that my emperor will give Youlan a chance, if it is not difficult for Qianli, the master of Lingshui Palace, to turn against Qiantuyu, the head of the Tuyu faction, the people's daughter gets along with Qianyu day and night in Youfu, and finally found out that she and Qianli are sisters, and they are also Qiantuyu's daughters." I wanted to use Qianmo, a man who was in love with Qianli and Qianyu, to provoke a dispute between the two, causing Qiantuyu and Qianli to turn against each other, but how could Qianyu be entangled with Qianmo all the time, making it difficult for Youlan to start. ”
"Oh? It seems that things are progressing. The empress's tone calmed down a little, but the beads she was playing with in her hand were suddenly scattered all over the ground.
Except for the minions who were busy picking up, no one in the court took a second look.
Pang Ruolan observed the surrounding movements with the corner of her eye, and found that the majesty of the empress had already invaded people's hearts, and it seemed that these courtiers were all accompanied by tigers every day.
"Can you get the martial arts cheats of the Liuying Pavilion?" The empress's soft and majestic voice came to his ears.
"The folk girl didn't get it, and she went to the forbidden land of Liuying Pavilion that day, just to find Zhu Yulong. After all, Youlan had a marriage contract with him before, and if he left him who had just lost his mother in front of everyone in the martial arts, it would be a little unreasonable. Pang Ruolan said thoughtfully, her hands and feet cold.
"For a while, the martial arts factions have been playing, and I beg me to allow the reconvening of the martial arts alliance leader conference. What do you think? ”
"The people think that the martial arts people have no leader, and they are just scattered sand, if the leader of the martial arts alliance is a person from the court, it is also a good thing." Pang Ruolan knew that the empress regarded the martial arts alliance leader who could be equal to the imperial court as a thorn in her side, but she had to adapt to the situation.
"Oh, you're smart." The empress smiled and said, "In your opinion, when is the right time to hold the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Conference?" ”
"In the humble opinion of the people, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader Conference can take advantage of the contradiction between Qianli, the master of Lingshui Palace, and Qiantuyu, the head of the Tuyu faction, to provoke disputes. Regardless of whether the leader of the martial arts alliance is produced or not, it can frustrate the spirit of all factions in the martial arts. As for the time, a few months will be appropriate, after all, in the past few months, everyone in the rivers and lakes has been chasing and killing me with the goal of obtaining the Liuying Pavilion martial arts cheats, and there are many casualties, I am afraid that it will not be enough to compete with the Lingshui Palace and the Tuyu faction. Pang Ruolan observed the empress's expression and said carefully. (To be continued.) )
