After a few days, the injury gradually recovered.

At the end of the month, the cold wind is biting, and the excitement of the capital is still unabated.

Situ Xiuyuan accompanied Lu Long in front of the gate of the Forbidden City, and he looked at the towering city wall, which was very old.

There were dense golden round nails on the reddish-brown city gate dozens of people high, Situ Xiuyuan didn't know what this meant, he looked at the city gate standing two rows of soldiers wearing gray armor and holding red tassel guns were strictly guarding the city gate.

Lu Manman looked at the menacing appearance of so many soldiers, and suddenly felt a little nervous, she asked Situ Xiuyuan curiously, "Master, can you enter the palace casually?" ”

I saw Situ Xiuyuan shaking his head solemnly, and said lightly: "No." ”

She heard Situ Xiuyuan say that she couldn't, and then she wondered, if she couldn't, then why are they still standing here stupidly?

Lu Manman couldn't help but say, "Then what are we doing here?" Are you standing stupidly? ”

A smile appeared on Situ Xiuyuan's handsome face, he stared at her with playful eyes, and said meaningfully: "It's okay to have you, and then you can say that you are the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" ”

"I don't understand."

Lu Manman's eyes widened, it turns out that her identity is still so useful? She was a little surprised.

Seeing her like this, Situ Xiu slowly opened his mouth and explained: "The old emperor has wanted to see you for a long time, before your father refused to take you into the palace to meet you, and then your father went to guard the frontier, at that time you were still young, and you couldn't enter the palace even if you had to go to school, besides, Mo Chuqing will not give you a chance to turn over, now it's good, you came out, don't go to the emperor, and your father's hard work will be in vain to fight him." ”

Lu Manman understood it, and he wanted to go to the other side of the house himself in exchange for a peaceful life......

Lu Man blinked, with a hint of sarcasm on her face, and she asked, "Master, is it really good for you to say this to the Son of Heaven at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" ”

The meaning of Lu Manman Situ Xiuyuan is not that he doesn't know, but it doesn't matter, he didn't point at the emperor's face to scold, besides, what he said is the truth, isn't this country fought by General Li and Prime Minister Lu?

It's true that he's the emperor, but he can't deny it, right?

Situ Xiuyuan explained that he didn't have any other thoughts, just casually said it as a pastime, he waved his hands and said lightly: "What can't you say?" This is just an after-dinner pastime, am I being insulting? No, don't talk about it, you go and take the token of your Prime Minister's Mansion and let them report it. ”

"Okay."

Lu Manman's red lips curled slightly, and after nodding obediently, he walked over with a brisk step, holding the token on his house and handed it to the soldier guarding the door.

Lu Manman was a little nervous and scared, and she whispered: "I want to enter the palace to see the emperor." ”

The young soldier's face was tanned, and his piercing eyes were constantly staring up and down the road, and he was about to check for any danger on her.

The soldier's lips were dry, and his voice was hoarse, "Miss Lu, please, and then there will be a guard to take you to the saint." ”

With a smile on her face, she asked, "Can I go in?" ”

The soldier replied respectfully, "That's right." ”

Lu Manman looked at the soldiers, then turned her head to look at Situ Xiuyuan in the distance, she smiled and asked, "May I bring another person?" ”

She introduced: "My master - Situ Xiuyuan. ”

After listening to this, the soldier thought carefully and asked, "It sounds a little familiar, is it the one who took the temple examination for high school?" ”

Lu Manman nodded and said, "That's right." ”

The soldier took two steps back to make way for them, and said, "Gonggong Li has explained that this person can enter the palace at any time to face the saint." ”

Lu Manman trotted all the way to Situ Xiuyuan's side when he heard this, and said happily: "Master, come quickly, let's enter the palace!" ”

Situ Xiuyuan's face was expressionless, and he said indifferently: "Just say that you can, don't believe in being a teacher yet." ”

Lu Long looked at his handsome face, he looked indifferent, he seemed to know everything.

She smiled and praised the master and said, "Hehe, they all know you!" ”

"I know."

At this time, Situ Xiuyuan no longer had a smile on his face, his face was cold, Lu Long didn't know what was wrong with him, it was obviously a thing to be happy about, but now he was in a heavy mood.

Lu Manman took his hand, walked in front, looked back at him from time to time, and said, "Master is really modest, now we can all enter the palace." ”

Situ Xiuyuan clenched her little hand, strode in front of her, nodded and said, "Well, follow me, hurry up." ”

Lu Changman responded, "Okay. ”

Immediately, Situ Xiuyuan's head never looked back at Lu Manman, he pulled Lu Manman into the palace gate like this, and he didn't need the guards to lead the way, he walked all the way for a long time, and passed through several palace gates before he came to a particularly large open space.

It was paved with white jade bricks, and each brick was covered with patterns, and she didn't look carefully at what it was, but she only knew that what she could see as soon as she raised her eyes was a particularly majestic palace.

There was a very tall staircase beside the palace, and every few steps there were guards with broadswords, and in the middle of the stairs was a dragon carved into the long boulder.

The handrails on both sides of the stairs are carved objects, which dazzles the road.

Situ Xiuyuan didn't wait for a long rest, he pulled her up the steps.

The road was long and staggering, Situ Xiuyuan pulled, and the two of them went one after the other.

When you walk up the stairs and look down, you feel like you're looking at the mountains.

She was led into the side hall by him, and as she ascended the stairs, she could hear a sound from the distance in the main hall.

There were still a lot of guards guarding the main hall, and she was a little nervous.

As soon as he entered the side hall, he asked him, "Master, can we enter casually?" ”

Situ Xiuyuan let go of her hand and said lightly: "Don't speak, wait until I let you speak, the palace is no better than the outside." ”

Lu Manman nodded after listening, it turned out that it was not that the master ignored him, but that this place was more special, and the palace was a good place, and he could actually close the master's chattering mouth.

Situ Xiu saw that he was too serious just now, and he was scared of the long road, so he hurriedly said gently: "Let's wait here." ”

Lu Manman couldn't tell whether Situ Xiuyuan was happy or unhappy this time, anyway, she nodded again and again, and responded to him obediently, "Oh." ”

The black-lacquered agarwood door was closed by Situ Xiuyuan, and Lu Man quietly looked at the furnishings in the hall, this wall, this beam, and floor tiles were much, much better than those in her house.

Her eyes were lost, and there was a screen in the middle of the hall, framed with black sandalwood, which seemed to be not a painting, but a delicate Suzhou embroidery, embroidered with a dragon and a phoenix, lifelike.

Through the embroidery, she could see that there seemed to be a figure over there, and she was curious to walk over to find out, but Situ Xiuyuan quickly pulled her and pressed her in place.

Situ Xiuyuan asked nervously, "What do you want to do?" ”

Lu Changman was shocked, she shrunk her neck, turned her head to look at Situ Xiuyuan, and was caught by him, she smiled awkwardly and said, "I...... I just want to see it. ”

Situ Xiu saw her trembling appearance, and he couldn't bear to scold her, but explained: "That is the main hall, the place where officials go to the pilgrimage, you stay here." ”

"Master......"

He touched Lu Long Lu's head, and said helplessly: "Good, if I don't stop you, if they see it, it will be regarded as disrespectful to the emperor, and I will lose my head." ”

Lu Manman could hear that his tone was not as free and easy as before, but much more serious, and she exclaimed: "Ah! It's scary. ”

Situ Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said indifferently: "If you're afraid, be quiet, I'm just afraid that you will talk nonsense when you enter the palace, so I don't want to pay attention to you, now that you are a teacher, do you make you presumptuous if you don't speak?" ”

"Master, the apprentice is wrong!"

Lu Manman thought about whether he could make Situ Xiuyuan relax, but it was a pity that he ushered in Situ Xiuyuan's words, "Okay, I don't want to lose my head with you!" ”

Lu Manman dragged his arm and shook it, and said happily: "Hehe, the apprentice knows that the master loves the apprentice the most." ”

She has known Situ Xiuyuan for so many years, and she has never seen him afraid of anything, but now he is so serious, there is definitely a big problem, but she really doesn't understand why Situ Xiuyuan is like this.

Situ Xiuyuan didn't pay any attention to her, just stood quietly and waited.

Lu Manman followed him, she let go of his arms and stood beside him dignifiedly.

I don't know how long it took, a loud voice came from the side of the screen, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Even the sound of them kneeling and kowtowing was so consistent that Lu Manman could hear it clearly.

Situ Xiuyuan's face changed, he was no longer calm and calm, but a little worried.

It didn't take long for a person to wear a bright yellow dragon robe, and immediately, several footsteps walked towards the side hall.

Situ Xiuyuan immediately pulled the road and knelt on the ground with a long "poof", and then shouted: "The grass people knock on the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Lu Manman didn't make a sound, but knelt quietly on the ground, and after a long time in a trance, she realized that she had walked up to her alone, and she hurriedly trembled and said: "The courtiers knock on the emperor, the emperor is auspicious!" ”

The emperor said coldly: "Heh, Situ Xiuyuan! ”

Situ Xiuyuan's back was cold, and he hurriedly responded to him, saying, "The grass people are here!" ”

The emperor stared at Lu Manman's head, and couldn't see what she looked like, so he asked, "Whose girl are you taking to run to me?" ”

He replied, "Miss Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

Lu Manman raised his head and glanced at the emperor, then retracted his head in fright, and hurriedly said: "The courtier is the daughter of Prime Minister Lu - Lu Manman, see the emperor." ”

Lu Manman knew that Situ Xiuyuan was as nervous as himself, and if he said something wrong in the middle, it would be bad.

Situ Xiuyuan caught a glimpse of Lu Manman actually raised his head to look directly at the emperor, her courage was really fat, which made her panic and anxious.
