Chapter 249: Emperor Ming is summoned
After everyone was in a hurry, the old lady finally changed into clean clothes.
knew in her heart that Xiao Jinxuan was intentional, and splashed the cup of tea on her, and immediately the old lady really couldn't lie down, so she got up directly and came to Xiao Jinxuan with an angry face.
Stretching out her hand to point at the other party, she said angrily:
"Okay, you Xiao Jinxuan, you are really bold, first you arrested my people, and now you are spilling tea on me, according to Benjun, the one who should be dragged out and killed with a cane is simply you, a little slut."
Almost as soon as the old lady's words fell, before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, she heard a slightly shrill voice from outside the door:
"If it weren't for my father-in-law knowing, I wouldn't have been so confused that I went to the wrong house, and I heard the voice of the old lady, Deng Chang, I really thought that I didn't come to the Shuai Mansion, but the Huaguo Mansion, who are you angry with, if the saint knows, he will definitely worry about you."
As these words fell, I could see that from outside the open door, as the chief eunuch of the imperial palace and the eunuch of Emperor Ming, Deng Chang, had already walked in with a smile on his eyebrows and a friendly voice.
As soon as he came closer, looking at Xiao Jinxuan, who was being picked up by the old lady and was about to point to the tip of his nose, Deng Chang immediately said "oops", and then said worriedly:
"Look, look, Miss Jinxuan, our family really didn't expect that it would be you who annoyed the old lady, but as far as I know, Miss Jinxuan has always been gentle and dignified, what is the reason why the two of you have a conflict, I don't know if Miss can tell our family."
Seeing the celebrity in front of Emperor Ming, Gonggong Deng suddenly came, and immediately the old lady got up to greet her, and said incomprehensibly:
"Manager Deng, why are you here today, and even if you go to the house, you should call the doorman to pay homage, otherwise it won't seem that my handsome mansion is too unpolite."
Seeing that she was talking to Xiao Jinxuan, the old lady opened her mouth first, and immediately Deng Chang, who was tactful, hurriedly greeted the other party, and then said with a smile:
"Originally, it was passed on, but the family was waiting outside, although it was far away, but I heard the sound of cane punishment, and I couldn't help but be curious for a while, so I walked in, offended the rudeness, and asked the old lady not to blame it. And our family came today to summon Miss Jinxuan into the palace with the oracle of the Holy Lord. ”
In fact, Deng Chang, who was the right person, was indeed welcomed in by the doorman, and he wanted to go directly to the Forsythia Courtyard to announce Xiao Jinxuan's entry into the palace, but after entering the house, he learned that the other party was now in the Taining Courtyard.
Therefore, Deng Chang had to rush to Taining Courtyard again, but when he got outside, the sound of crying and shouting cane punishment reached his ears, and he immediately thought that something had happened to Xiao Jinxuan, so he couldn't take care of it, so he broke in directly.
After all, Zhou Xianyu kept Xiao Jinxuan in his heart, and Emperor Ming loved this son very much, so it was natural to investigate Xiao Jinxuan's past in detail, and the person in charge of this matter was Deng Chang.
In fact, he only had a few encounters with Xiao Jinxuan and Deng Chang, and they didn't even say anything to each other, but this young girl, in his eyes, whether it was her bearing or demeanor, she was one in a hundred.
But after investigation, Deng Chang was surprised to find that Xiao Jinxuan had such a bumpy childhood, and he couldn't even understand how this humble and pitiful girl who was almost unfortunate came to where she is today.
No one is born to like to be a slave, especially when he enters the palace as a eunuch, that life is destined to be the life of his children and grandchildren, and the same is true for Deng Chang, if it weren't for the hardships in his childhood, he would never have embarked on this path of being a slave for a lifetime.
Therefore, Deng Chang still has a little bit of sympathy in his heart for Xiao Jinxuan's experience, especially after the investigation, he also knows that the old lady has always disliked this granddaughter.
And it was also because he knew this, so when Deng Chang heard the sound of the execution, his first reaction was to think that Xiao Jinxuan was killed.
In addition, the other party is still the person who was named and called by Emperor Ming, so he naturally has to try his best to protect each other, not let the other party have the slightest mistake, and then enter the palace with him smoothly.
And when Deng Chang broke in, he found that it seemed that he was wrong, Xiao Jinxuan was not only unharmed, but the old lady of the Bai family seemed to be angry.
Deng Chang, who has become an old man, can't see it now, it is not Xiao Jinxuan who suffers at all, but the people of the Bai family who have planted their heels.
Immediately, he laughed secretly in his heart, but he still had the heart to help the other party, after all, Xiao Jinxuan's pitiful life experience always subtly resonated with Deng Chang, reminding him of the unbearable situation when he was young.
And when he heard that Deng Chang's trip was actually to summon Xiao Jinxuan into the palace, the expressions of the people in the room couldn't help but change slightly, and even the old lady slowly put down her outstretched fingers.
After all, it is now summoned by Emperor Ming, and there have long been rumors that Xiao Jinxuan is about to marry Zhou Xianyu, and now in front of Deng Chang, even the old lady has to restrain a little.
Taking advantage of this gap, Xiao Jinxuan hurriedly smiled and saluted Deng Changfu, and then opened her mouth and answered the other party's question to her.
"Manager Deng must have misunderstood, the old lady is a distinguished guest of my handsome mansion, how could Jinxuan bump into her, it's just that I am clumsy in my hands and feet, and I can't even pour tea and water, but as a result, a good cup of tea is all sprinkled on the old lady's body, and her old man will be annoyed with me, so it should be."
Deng Chang is a person in front of the emperor, although the old lady is a member of the royal family and a princess, but he is not very jealous, he immediately frowned, and pretended to be surprised and said:
"Why did the old lady come to the Shuai Mansion as a guest, and Miss Jinxuan had to serve in person, you are the daughter of the Shuai Mansion, and your status is noble and you can't do what we slaves do, and it is inevitable that something will go wrong, but a young lady has actually done the things of the next person herself, this kind of strange thing is really unheard of in our family, I must go back to the palace to tell the saint, long live will definitely be very interested."
As soon as he finished saying this, Deng Chang meant something, and glanced at the old lady out of the corner of his eye.
And this gentle glance immediately made the old lady's heart sink, how could she not see that Deng Chang was deliberately defending Xiao Jinxuan.
And as the daughter of the handsome house, even if she is just a concubine, there is really no reason to pour tea and serve people, if this matter is really spread, outsiders will inevitably say that she values her concubines lightly, and has a reputation for criticizing her juniors.
And the old lady will look a little uneasy, although she is the imperial aunt of Emperor Ming, but the royal people are far above family affection, if her words and deeds in the Shuai Mansion are known by the emperor's nephew, even if the other party doesn't say anything, I'm afraid it will be upset.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan is very likely to become Emperor Ming's daughter-in-law, but now she is embarrassed by the other party here, and she is also seen by Deng Chang.
Seeing that the two old ladies in the room were all silent, Deng Chang smiled and bent over Xiao Jinxuan, and then said quite respectfully:
"Miss Jinxuan, since the Holy Lord has summoned you, you should hurry into the palace with our family, as for the matter of pouring tea and water here, I think the huge handsome mansion will definitely find someone to replace you, and I look at Miss Jinyu is very empty, the old lady is still the grandmother of the other party, this is a matter of filial piety to my own family, it is better to call my own family."
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Chang made a gesture of invitation, obviously to leave directly with Xiao Jinxuan, so as to avoid the other party being entangled by Lao Taijun and others.
And Xiao Jinxuan nodded at Deng Chang with gratitude, but did not leave immediately, but stopped and said when she walked to the door:
"Old lady, Shicai Jinxuan accidentally splashed water on your body, I really don't want to go, but this delay, now I remember, didn't you ask me to call that Aunt Li back from the new, but Shicai I gave her the punishment of cane, now that so much time has passed, I'm afraid that the other party has already died, and now I really can't wait by your side."
As soon as Xiao Jinxuan finished saying this, the panic and guilt on her face suddenly fell, and the next moment her expression was cold, and she smiled at the old lady with mockery in her eyes, and then turned around and left with Deng Chang.
And looking at the old lady of the Bai family, she would look at the empty door, her face was full of resentment, and she opened her mouth to say something, but because she was too angry, she couldn't say a word.
Immediately afterwards, when I saw the ancestor of the Guogong Mansion, she rolled her eyes directly, and passed out on the spot.
The old lady is very old, if there is really any accident in the Shuai Mansion, the old lady doesn't know how to explain to the mother family Guogong Mansion, and immediately called Jin Chuan over, and then anxiously ordered:
"Hurry up and find the doctor, and then Jinchuan, you go to the Guogong Mansion in person, be sure to call Mrs. Wu to come, she is the daughter-in-law of the old lady, there are really three long and two short, with her in front of us, we don't have to complain, you go to do it quickly, and the time will not be delayed for a moment."
In the Shuai Mansion now, there are another group of people turning their backs, and Xiao Jinxuan, as the initiator, has already entered the palace at this time, and her expression is calm, and she stands outside the door of the imperial study with a gentle bearing, waiting for Deng Chang to enter the ceremony, and then she can be announced in.
And didn't wait for a long time, he saw a little eunuch running out of the hall, and as soon as he arrived in front of Xiao Jinxuan, he said respectfully and with a smile:
"Miss Jinxuan, the Holy Upload has you entered, now that it is cold in late autumn, this is the hand stove prepared for you, you have worked hard all the way, hurry up and warm your body."
If you can serve in front of the palace, there is no unclever person, Xiao Jinxuan immediately thanked the other party, and reached out to take the copper hand stove handed to her by the little eunuch, and then followed the other party into the imperial study.
As soon as she came in, Xiao Jinxuan behaved in a proper manner and bowed to Emperor Ming, who was sitting in front of the dragon case.
And after she completed the ceremony, Emperor Ming immediately smiled and hurriedly said:
"Jinxuan, get up quickly, this marble floor is very cold, you have been suffering outside during this time, there is no need to be polite in front of me, hurry up and sit down next to me, I know that you like flower tea, I ordered someone to prepare a cup of jasmine tea for you, you drink it quickly, it is still your heart."
Emperor Ming has no shelf, caring behavior, Xiao Jinxuan was really uncomfortable at the beginning, but she knew that the other party was because of Zhou Xianyu's relationship, so she loved her and Wu, and she cared for her from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Jinxuan is now in front of Emperor Ming, and she is not as restrained as when she first met, so she immediately thanked her, and then got up immediately without pretentiousness.
After sitting down, she immediately took a sip of the flower tea according to her words, and then her face flashed with joy, and she glanced at the tea in the cup in surprise.
