Chapter 56 Becoming an Official
After hearing this, Huo Jingcheng laughed a few times in order to hide his embarrassment, and said: "What I said is that when my brother enters the palace and sees his father and queen, he will hold a banquet in the East Palace in the evening, and you will naturally be guests." ”
"That's what Your Highness said." Yun Ce also chimed in.
Qiao Fengzhi looked left and right, and said unnaturally: "I...... I'll go see Twilight first. ”
With that, he turned around and walked towards the middle of the group. Seeing this, Huo Jingyao was about to turn around and follow, Huo Jingcheng was quick-eyed, grabbed his reins, and said, "Lao Jiu, don't mess around!" ”
"Uh...... Okay, okay. Huo Jingyao reluctantly gave up.
……
The carriage swayed softly and slowly, but the curtain was suddenly opened, and in the surprise of Yao Duran and Lu Yan, a tall figure leaned in, and then looked up to reveal a fair and handsome face.
"Bongzhi?!"
"Young Master Qiao?!"
Yao Duran and Lu Yan spoke in unison.
Qiao Fengzhi's smile did not change, and he only stared deeply at Yao Duran, who also stared at him in a daze, staring speechless for a while.
Lu Yan came back to his senses, and immediately said with interest: "The slave maid has seen Qiao Gongzi, and the slave maid went to sit outside." With that, she lifted the curtain and sat outside.
After the curtain fell, Qiao Fengzhi opened his arms to her, Yao Duran smiled and threw himself into his arms: "Fengzhi." ”
After nearly a month, the two finally met, next to each other steadily, hugging each other without saying a word for a while.
After holding enough, Yao Duran left him, looked at him for a long time, and asked, "Fengzhi, what's the matter with your outfit?" ”
Qiao Fengzhi had a gentle smile in his eyes: "Dye'er, I have become an official and become a court doctor of the fourth grade, I just came out of the palace, and I haven't had time to change into court clothes." ”
Yao Duran was pleasantly surprised to hear it: "What? You became an official so quickly? Your Majesty, does he appreciate you very much? ”
Qiao Fengzhi nodded: "Your Majesty said that I assisted His Highness in the Northern Expedition, and I made a great contribution, so I was given an official position." ”
"I see." Yao Duran sighed in her heart, and before she knew it, they had embarked on a right path.
After sighing, Yao Duran remembered something again and asked, "By the way, what about Fengzhi, Fuquan?" He came to Nangan with you, why don't you see him? ”
"Fuquan is on an errand, you can see him later. Let's not mention these things for now, let's get down to business, Dye'er, do you miss me? He finished speaking, but without waiting for her to answer, he lifted her chin and kissed it eagerly.
The lips were warm and the nose was fragrant, Yao Duran's heart jumped, and she raised her arm to hook his neck and gracefully released all her thoughts into this long kiss.
When the two breathed slightly, they finally reluctantly separated. Yao Duran put his head on his chest, and the man in front of him had already emerged in the Nanqian court, and he was beginning to show his excellence. She suddenly couldn't believe that she had such an excellent man as her husband.
"Dye'er, how are you?" Qiao Fengzhi asked.
Yao Duran suddenly remembered the many thrills and grievances since he left, God knows, she was almost, only a little bit, and she would never see him again.
"Fengzhi, I'm fine, it's just that you don't want to leave my side again, okay?" She pleaded earnestly.
"Okay, I'll never leave you again, even if I have to travel because of tolerance in the future, I'll take you with me, how about it?"
"Hmm."
Qiao Fengzhi saw that she had a worried look in her heart, and asked, "Ran'er, what happened on the road?" ”
Yao Duran heard this, and didn't want to hide it, so she told the truth about the bandits in Broken Sky Mountain, including her proposal to suppress the bandits, including that she was captured by the bandits, and Huo Jingcheng saved her.
Although she said it lightly, Qiao Fengzhi's long eyebrows still wrinkled, and finally, he was silent for a long time before he took her into his arms: "It's okay if you're okay." ”
However, Yao Duran soon realized that since she finished talking about the bandits, Qiao Fengzhi seemed to have something on her mind.
Yao Duran asked softly, "Fengzhi, I'...... Did you do something wrong? ”
Qiao Fengzhi sighed as if he had nothing, and then said, "No." ”
"Then ...... you" Before Yao Duran could finish asking, the carriage under his feet stopped. A green voice came from outside the car curtain: "Young Master Qiao, madam, it's in front of the palace." ”
Yao Duran listened, so she had to hold back her words and get out of the car with him. After standing still, Qiao Fengzhi suddenly looked at Lu Yan, and said with a calm and handsome face: "Which lady are you calling this lady?" ”
The green knot was stunned for a moment, in her impression, the man in front of her had always been gentle and elegant, but today was the first time that his face was cold. Stunned, she stammered: "Young Master Qiao, the slave is shouting ...... Naturally, it was Mrs. Joe. ”
"Then let's make it clearer!" After Qiao Fengzhi finished speaking, he picked up Yao Duran and left, and Lu Yan followed nervously. Yao Duran looked at his depressed side face, and his heart was slightly blocked.
In front of the team, Huo Jingcheng was whispering to Qin An, who had not seen him for a few days, after the master and servant finished speaking, Huo Jingcheng returned to the front of the team and said: "Yunxiang, Fengzhi, the two of you will enter the palace with the main hall to resume your life, as for Mrs. Qiao, go to the East Palace with the team first, and then pick up people after Fengzhi leaves the palace." As for Lao Jiu, are you going to enter the palace with us, or are you going back to the house? ”
"Old Nine, Old Nine?"
I saw that Huo Jingyao was staring closely at Yao Duran beside Qiao Fengzhi, and there seemed to be frustration in his eyes, unwilling. Huo Jingcheng shouted a few times, and he finally came back to his senses and said, "Sixth brother, what's wrong?" ”
Huo Jingcheng repeated: "Lao Jiu, are you going to enter the palace or go back to the house?" ”
Huo Jingyao looked at Qiao Fengzhi and immediately said, "I want to enter the palace with you!" ”
Huo Jingcheng had no choice but to acquiesce.
As soon as Huo Jingyao was happy, he immediately jumped to Qiao Fengzhi's side, put one hand on his shoulder, and pulled him towards the palace gate.
Qiao Fengzhi and Yao Duran's hands were forced to separate like this.
Yao Duran watched his figure drift away, and his heart became more and more stuffy. After he learned about the bandits, his attitude was a little cold, and his mood was not good, and at this moment, he left without looking back......
Finally, the crowd parted at the palace gate. Qin An took a cadre of attendants and maids from the East Palace to the East Palace, and Yao Duran got into the carriage again, and followed the team to the East Palace to wait for Qiao Fengzhi to leave the palace.
……
The palace is heavy, with red walls and golden tiles, gorgeous and dazzling. On the winding and neat palace road, several people walked side by side, the wheels rolling behind them, pulling several boxes of gold and silver treasures. Wherever they passed, the palace people all knelt on the ground, waiting for them to pass.
After walking like this, Qiao Fengzhi suddenly said: "Thank you Your Highness for saving your life." ”
Huo Jingcheng looked at him sideways, but saw Qiao Fengzhi's eyes looking at him deeply, there seemed to be a hidden meaning in that look, the two looked at each other for a moment, Qiao Fengzhi lowered his eyes and avoided it, and his eyes returned to calm. Seeing this, Huo Jingcheng sighed in his heart, many things were really too conspicuous. Thinking about it, he said lightly: "It's okay, you have traveled thousands of miles to do things for the main hall, and the main hall has to take good care of Mrs. Qiao, this is the righteousness of the main hall, and it has nothing to do with anything else." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Qiao Fengzhi received his vague explanation, thanked him again, and then fell silent.
At this time, Huo Jingyao answered uninterestingly: "Fengzhi, your wife is good-looking, and the sixth brother of our family has always loved beauties, so he has a heart of pity and cherishing jade......"
"Shut up!" Huo Jingcheng suddenly scolded, interrupting his words, and a pair of cold eyes shot straight at him with a cold light. Huo Jingyao was shocked by his majesty, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, I'll shut up, shut up." Hey, I'm talking so hard again. ”
Huo Jingcheng's face softened slightly, and he observed Qiao Fengzhi's expression without a trace, and saw that he was as usual, so he turned around and continued to walk.
Yun Ce listened to the conversation of several people and looked at Qiao Fengzhi without a trace. sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that he is not the only smart person, Yun Ce, and he is not a lover of his disciples.
All the way to the imperial study for an audience. Emperor Qian was sitting behind the wide imperial case to review the recital, he looked half a hundred years old, wearing a blue auspicious cloud panlong regular clothes, a noble hair, majestic and impressive. Sure enough, even his face was not angry and arrogant, a pair of sword eyebrows and eyebrows were raised, and a pair of big eyes below were also blazing, with three points of seriousness. The straight nose is the same as Huo Jingcheng. Because of his proper maintenance, his body was stiff and straight, and he was very energetic, not like a man of fifty, but like a young man of about forty.
Several people saluted him upright, and Emperor Qiandi raised his hand to signal that he was exempt from courtesy, and asked, "Jingcheng is back?" ”
Huo Jingcheng stood up straight and replied: "Yes, father, I just entered Beijing, so I rushed to meet my father." ”
Emperor Qian got up and walked towards him, patted him on the shoulder with his big palm, and said, "Jingcheng, this Northern Expedition, you are a meritorious member of Qiu Mountain, I am very pleased!" ”
After praising Huo Jingcheng, Emperor Qian looked at Yun Ce again and said with a smile: "Yun Xiang, you are also worthy of being the first minister of my Nanqian!" I am proud to have a courtier like you! ”
Yun Ce was modest: "Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister is ashamed to be ashamed." ”
"Yunxiang, you know people very well, and the apprentices you teach are also Yinghuafa, both civil and military! I just need talents like you. As he spoke, Emperor Qian looked at Qiao Fengzhi with deep approval in his eyes.
When it was Huo Jingyao's turn, Emperor Qian's sword eyebrows wrinkled: "Lao Jiu, what are you making a fuss about?" Retire. ”
"Huh?" Huo Jingyao was sent away by him and reluctantly saluted and left.
After he left, Huo Jingcheng suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "Father, the son of the emperor had no choice but to cut off the first and then play, and the father gave Xiahou Bo the title through the father's edict, and the son of the son was guilty, but the father and the emperor were guilty!" ”
After hearing this, Emperor Qiandi went to help him with his own hands: "Jingcheng, Qiao Fengzhi has already made a detailed presentation to me about this matter, can you temporarily be flexible and take into account the overall situation, how can I not understand?" ”
Huo Jingcheng was completely relieved: "Thank you, father!" ”
When he stood up, Emperor Qian remembered something, and asked, "Jingcheng, isn't there still a General Du?" ”
Huo Jingcheng said truthfully: "Back to my father, when we passed by Mingju City, Du Yan's wife showed signs of childbirth, and the sons sent someone to lead them into the city, and Du Yan will come to Beijing to see him in a month." ”
Emperor Qiandi suddenly realized: "I see. So have you thought about the relocation between the north and the south? ”
Huo Jingcheng: "Back to my father, my sons and daughters support my father's move, and they do not slack off. ”
"Good! I began to elaborate and implement it after improvement! Emperor Qian was obviously happy, and after walking back and forth on the ground for a few steps, he said: "There is another thing, Anbei's strategy is not perfect, but I can't take care of it so much for a while, so I decided to take my time." Sooner or later, the people of the old tribe of North Vietnam will move, and they will have to move their nests and let me re-plan the land and city and re-divide it. Jingcheng, you should draw up a plan as soon as possible, and see how the princes of North Vietnam will move, and what kind of division will be made by the re-division of the two places. ”
Huo Jingcheng: "Yes, Father." ”
