The birthday had just passed, and the next day Yin Zheng was still dark at this moment, and Nangong Feng had finished breakfast, and he was in the study while sorting out the folds of the previous dynasty and instructed Wei Yongnian: "Yongnian prepares a sedan chair." Wei Yongnian nodded and responded, "Yes, master." After saying that, he turned around and went to prepare the sedan chair. As soon as he came out of the second hall, he met Nangong Xue, Wei Yongnian looked at the sky of the black hole, and then asked curiously: "Xiaoxue, why are you getting up so early?" Why don't you sleep a little longer? ”

"Good morning Uncle Wei," Nangong Xue greeted Wei Yongnian and replied, "I have something to do with my father." He hasn't gone out yet, has he? ”

"Not yet." Wei Yongnian replied, "The master is now in the study to prepare the recital of the court, and I will go to prepare the sedan chair first." ”

"Okay, then you can get busy first." Nangong Xue responded. After speaking, Nangong Xue walked towards the study.

……

……

As soon as Nangong Xue walked to the corridor of the study, she saw Nangong Feng walking out of the study, so she hurriedly followed in three steps and two steps.

"Daddy." Nangong Xue called behind Nangong Feng.

"Huh?" Nangong Tian turned around when he heard the sound, looked at Nangong Xue with a little surprise, and asked, "Xiaoxue, is there something wrong so early?" ”

"Hmm." Nangong Xue nodded and responded, "I know that my father is going to the court in a hurry, so I have something that my father needs to help me present to the emperor, these are things that the emperor asked me to do, I did it on the day of my grandfather's birthday, but because I can't go into the palace to present it to the emperor in person, I ask my father to do it for me today." I don't know if it's convenient for Daddy? ”

Nangong Xue said as she handed a thick envelope to Nangong Feng, Nangong Feng took the envelope, looked at it roughly, and then said, "It's not inconvenient, I'll help you present it to the emperor." Is there anything else going on besides this? With that, he tucked the envelope into his sleeve.

"No, that's it," Nangong Xue said, "It's hard work daddy." ”

"The sun is coming out of the west today, right?" Nangong Feng looked at the dark sky and said, "Do you know how to talk to me politely today?" Don't you always tell your father that fathers and daughters should call themselves friends, so there is no gap? ”

"Look at you, don't you raise the bar? It's going to be timed. I say that you are also my father, and I always have to respect you. Nangong Xue replied, "The gully I said is in terms of ordinary communication, you are in a high position, if I don't adjust it well, how can I talk freely with you." Otherwise, the father-daughter relationship will become alienated by your official position. ”

"Uh-huh." Nangong Feng nodded while listening, "I won't talk to you anymore, it's not too early, I have to go to the court quickly." It's not good to be late. ”

"Then you slow down on the road and watch your steps when it's dark." Nangong Xue instructed.

After speaking, Nangong Xuemu sent Nangong Feng out. Sent away Nangong Feng Nangong Xue stretched deeply and yawned again, and said to herself: "This ancient man went to work really early, and gave me that life was not until eight o'clock, and I was sleepy, go back to sleep and go back to sleep." ”

So he walked briskly towards his room while chattering.

……

……

Above the court, the civil and military officials presented the recitals to the emperor one by one, and stated the recent events of the country. It was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that he went down to the court, and after staying in the court, Nangong Feng did not leave immediately, he asked Wang Jiezhong: "Chief Wang, the minister still wants to meet the saint." I wonder if you can talk back? ”

"Well, please Nangong-sama for the time being, and I'll come back for a while." Wang Jiezhong responded.

"Then there is the king of Lao." Nangong Feng respectfully saluted Wang Jiezhong and said.

Wang Jiezhong nodded, then turned around and entered the south study. And Nangong Feng was waiting outside the palace gate to be summoned. After a short while, Wang Jiezhong came out, walked to the gate of the palace, and announced: "Xuanguo Zijian Nangong Feng will meet you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Nangong Feng followed the guidance of the eunuch to the south study, and as soon as Nangong Feng came in, he knelt down and saluted Zhao Xianglin and said: "Minister Nangong Feng greets my emperor, long live my emperor." ”

"Aiqing is flat." Zhao Xianglin said lightly, "What else does Aiqing have to do?" ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, the minister has a letter to present to the emperor, which is entrusted by the minister's little daughter." Nangong Feng said as he took the envelope out of his sleeve.

"Oh?" When Zhao Xianglin heard that it was given to him by Nangong Feng's daughter, his eyes lit up for a while, and he ordered, "Present it." As soon as the words fell, Wang Jiezhong walked to Nangong Feng, took the envelope, and handed it to Zhao Xianglin, Zhao Xianglin took the envelope, opened it and looked at it carefully, at first his face still looked a little calm, but after a while, he looked at his face with a surprised smile, and said softly from time to time: "Wonderful, really wonderful." …… What a miracle trick. …… The little girl is really a stroke of genius. ”

When he said this, Wang Jiezhong and Nangong Feng were curious, and they were full of curiosity about this letter, and they wanted to know what the emperor had written. In this way, after about a cup of tea, Zhao Xianglin finished reading the letter that Nangong Xue gave him, and then he smiled faintly and said: "Only Nangong Feng can be left here, everyone else should go down first, I want to talk to Nangong Feng alone for a while." ”

Wang Jiezhong and all the attendants responded in unison: "Yes." After speaking, they all withdrew from the south study, and they all went to wait outside the palace to obey orders. After seeing a group of people waiting to go out, Zhao Xianglin lowered his tone a little and said: "Nangong Feng, you really have a good daughter, you are really very blessed, according to me, there should not be many people in this world who can have such a thinking as your daughter, oh, no, to be precise, there shouldn't be a second one, right?" So can I put it another way, the little girl I ordered the whole city to search for seven years ago is your daughter, she is the one who understands the whole book and understands it, and then you, the father, have hidden it for seven years. I'm right, Nangong Feng? When you were the eunuch of the country, you hid so deeply, do you know the guilt? ”

When Nangong Feng heard this, he hurriedly knelt down and responded: "Please Holy Mingjian, the minister really doesn't know about this." Seven years ago, the minister was also investigated by all parties and did not find anyone who had finished reading the book. Now the saint said that it was the minister's daughter, and the minister really didn't know anything, and the minister didn't dare to expire the saint, because the minister was busy with business every day, so he rarely communicated with his daughter, let alone knew that she was the one to be searched. So the minister is really wronged. Even if the minister has the courage to deceive the saint, there are dozens of people in the minister's family, how can the minister risk their lives to deceive the saint? ”

When Zhao Xianglin saw Nangong Feng like this, he laughed twice and said, "Okay, you get up." I don't blame you, if I hadn't asked your daughter to ask for it, I'm afraid that such a great piece of good news would have been buried for a long time. It was really meant to be. Fortunately, the girl I have been looking for here for seven years is your daughter, and I am relieved. ”

"Hmm." Nangong Tian slowly stood up and nodded in response, "Qi Song Sheng, the minister has something unclear. I don't know if to talk about it or not? ”

"Speak." Zhao Xianglin replied.

"Qi Song Sheng, where did you see that the girl you have been looking for for seven years is actually the little daughter of the minister? The minister was a little puzzled. Nangong Feng cautiously asked, although Nangong Feng knew that it was his daughter early on, but now how could the emperor see it with just a letter? This surprised him. And he was also full of curiosity about the letter, and really wanted to know what was written in the letter. So I wanted to find out. "The minister is stupid, and he hasn't been able to see it for many years."

"I knew you would ask." Zhao Xianglin replied lightly, "Look at this letter, you will understand it all when you see it." As he spoke, he handed the letter to Nangong Feng. Nangong Feng took the letter, read it carefully, and then handed it back to Zhao Xianglin. Zhao Xianglin said lightly: "Now that you have read this letter, now you understand, this pearl of your palm is really a pearl, and there will never be a second one in this world." That's only half, and half of it your daughter didn't give it out. But I'm sure it will be all over soon. I'm really glad that this girl is from your house, I have long heard my father say that the teacher's family is all extraordinary people, all of them are not true faces, and there is a lot of wisdom hidden in them. Looking at it now, it's really as my father said. Your family is not your average family. ”

"Thanks to the love of the emperor and the emperor, the minister's family is the same as ordinary people, not as extraordinary as the saint said, and the saint has won the award." Nangong Feng bowed to Zhao Xianglin and replied humbly.

"Okay, whether it's a prize or not, I know in my heart. You don't have to be humble with me. Zhao Xianglin said lightly, "I left the letter, for the incident of seven years ago, you still don't tell others, I think about it or talk about it slowly." After you go back, have lunch, and after a short rest, let your daughter prepare, and in the afternoon I will send someone to the house to invite your daughter into the palace to meet me, and I will ask for more detailed advice on the contents of the letter. Do you understand? ”

"Yes, I obey." Nangong Feng commanded, "The minister will go back and prepare." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Xianglin nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not too early, you should go back and prepare early." Kneel down. ”

"The minister has retired." Nangong Feng replied.

After speaking, he exited the south study. Out of the south study, Nangong Feng said goodbye to Wang Jiezhong and walked towards the palace gate. Wang Jiezhong looked at the figure that was gradually moving away, and didn't think too much, at this time Zhao Xianglin announced: "Manager Wang, pass the meal." As soon as the words fell, Wang Jiezhong hurriedly responded: "Yes." Minister, let people prepare. After speaking, he instructed the attendants, "Go to the imperial dining room to deliver the decree, and the saint will eat." Let the Imperial Dining Room be prepared quickly. ”

After the attendant received the order, he hurriedly walked to the imperial dining room. At the same time, Nangong Feng had already sat in a sedan chair and walked back, and along the way, Wei Yongnian couldn't help asking, "Master, why did you come out so late?" ”

"It's nothing, I was just left alone by the emperor to say a few words. Let's go, let's go back. Nangong Feng replied lightly.

When I returned home, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Nangong Feng instructed: "Yongnian let the back kitchen prepare lunch." After eating, you ask Xiaoyue to wash Xiaoxue and change into clean clothes, and someone will come to the palace in the afternoon to pick Xiaoxue into the palace to face the saint. ”

"Huh?" Wei Yongnian was a little surprised when he heard this, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not a bad thing, you don't have to worry too much," Nangong Feng replied, then lowered his voice, and whispered in his ear, "Today, the emperor found out that Xiaoxue was the one who understood the book seven years ago, but he didn't say anything, and in the afternoon, the emperor wanted to pass Xiaoxue into the palace to discuss the transformation of the city." Don't say too much when you see Xiaoxue, I'll go and sue him over there. It's good that you take care to protect Xiaoxue. Today, the emperor said that fortunately it was from our family, so I think there is something strange in this. Now the emperor didn't want to disclose the fact that Xiaoxue had read that book, so let's continue to hide it. When the time comes, it will naturally be made public. ”

"Okay, I see," Wei Yongnian replied, "Then I'll go and tell the back kitchen to prepare lunch, and then let Xiaoyue prepare Xiaoxue for washing and changing." ”

"Hmm." Nangong Feng nodded in response. After saying that, he walked to the back hall. And Wei Yongnian went to the back kitchen to let him prepare lunch.
