Chapter 118: Entering the Palace
The sun is far away towards the side of the mountain, the sun is no longer strong, and the light on the bluestone road is no longer eye-catching, seeing that the time is coming, the melon feast is about to begin, Emperor Ji Wu swept the few people kneeling under the stage lightly, his eyes were sharp, as if he could penetrate everything and see the secrets in the hearts of everyone in the audience.
"You guys are really good, one by two came to me at this time, did you discuss it?" Emperor Ji Wu's voice was not angry and arrogant.
"Erchen doesn't dare!" The voices of Gu Ziyi and his three brothers were neat, and the aftermath lingered.
"Don't dare? I think you dare! As he spoke, Emperor Ji Wu had already gotten up, carelessly straightened the robe on his body, and the afterglow in his eyes swept over the few people kneeling in the audience, and his afterglow fell on Xian Chen.
Seeing that Xianchen was still so neither humble nor arrogant, Emperor Ji Wu couldn't help but have a little good impression of Xianchen, at least he felt that Xianchen was different from her father Ran Yunie, people with bones are always more appreciated than people without bones, right?
"The melon tasting banquet is about to start, you all go back and clean up well, and don't be late for the banquet." Emperor Ji Wu walked out from the front of the case, and when he passed by Gu Ziyi's side, Gu Ziyi said unwillingly: "...... the holy decree of my father?" β
Before he finished speaking, Emperor Ji Wu paused beside him, and said without being salty or indifferent: "Ziyi, you are stinky, how long has it been since you took a bath?" Hurry back to the house and take a shower before coming over, and remember not to be late. β
Emperor Ji Wu dropped this sentence, flicked his sleeves, and left the imperial study with the back of his hand.
Gu Ziqi, Gu Zichen and Xianchen got up one after another, but Gu Ziyi was still kneeling in place.
He rushed back to Kyoto from Jiaozhou all the way, day and night, several horses died along the way and finally rushed back to Kyoto today, he didn't have time to go back to the palace in a hurry, he heard Ah Feng say that Xianchen sold the yard in the idle crane tower, and then rushed directly to the idle crane tower.
He brought Xianchen back to the palace from Xianhe Tower, and as soon as he entered the door with his front foot, Gu Ziqi rushed to tell him that Gu Zichen had entered the palace, and he rushed into the palace with Xianchen non-stop.
Dog days, five days and four nights without a shower or change of clothes, how heavy does this smell on? Gu Ziyi sniffed and sniffed the smell on his body.
With a disgusted face, it smelled bad, it was really too bad, and suddenly, a big "embarrassment" word was written on his face.
Just now he was holding the girl in his arms, just now he was knocking on the girl, just now he almost kissed the girl, so ...... Did the fine dust also smell the sauerkraut smell on him?
Gu Ziyi secretly turned to look at Xian Chen with an embarrassed face, only to see Xian Chen get up and slap the ash on the hem of her skirt, suddenly she felt Gu Ziyi's gaze, and saw that there was embarrassment on his face, Xian Chen smiled, innocent, as bright as the moon in the sky, "It's okay, I've smelled a more unpleasant smell on your body, what's the smell of sweat?" β
At this moment, Gu Ziyi was even more embarrassed, he swooped up and dropped a sentence, "Ziqi, you take Xianchen back to the house first, and I'll leave first." Then he hurried out of the imperial study.
Xian Chen swore that she just wanted to comfort Gu Ziyi, she really didn't deliberately ridicule Gu Ziyi's heart, after Gu Ziyi's poison of rotting corpse ghee, the muscles of his arms rotted, the smell was comparable to the smell of salted fish and countless pairs of stinky socks with sweaty feet, how could that smell be comparable to the smell of sweat on his body today?
She just told the truth, so why was Gu Ziyi's reaction so big? He blushed and escaped from the imperial study, and before leaving, he didn't forget to slash at himself with a knife, as if he was going to cut himself with a thousand knives, and Xianchen said that he was very innocent.
Gu Zichen was rejected by Xian Chen, his heart was very mixed, and he was depressed, he was the last person to leave the imperial study, looking at the back of Xian Chen and Gu Ziqi leaving, the afterglow of the slanting sun sprinkled on Gu Zichen's face through the window, and half of his face was shaded.
Gu Ziyi held Xianchen all the way to ride the horse, the smell on his body was more or less stained on Xianchen's body, and when Xianchen returned home quickly, he changed into a new dress just in time for Ran Yune to bring his family into the palace for the banquet.
Yao's luck is really good, because of the convening of this melon banquet, she was released from the ancestral hall, covered with grace and luxury in a gorgeous dress, and the peony bun was full of pearls and emeralds, but her face was a little less hypocritical and hypocritical on weekdays, and a little more sad and melancholy.
"Ying'er, I don't want to ride in the same carriage with your father, you go and call your carriage, and our mother and mother will take a carriage into the palace." Yao was angry in his heart and said directly in front of Ran Yune, without giving Ran Yune face.
Ran Yune's face turned red with suffocation, lifted the curtain of the carriage and got into the carriage, Xianchen also followed into the carriage, and the coachman beat the horse away with interest.
Yao's mother and daughter took the wide carriage that King Kang Gu Zichen gave to Ran Huaying, and followed behind Xian Chen's carriage.
Being coldly looked at by the Yao family, Ran Yuni was upset, he had a black face in the carriage the whole time, and Xianchen sat in the carriage, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and he didn't want to take the initiative to talk to Ran Yuni.
It is said that the daughter is the little padded jacket of her parents, this Ran Xianchen is stumped, didn't she see that her father is in a bad mood now? even ignored his existence, didn't even have a comforting and heartwarming word, how did she become a daughter?
Ran Yuni frowned, and said critically: "It's not for you to dress better, you see what you're wearing, you don't have a decent hairpin on your head, and those who don't know think that our Ran Mansion has treated you badly." β
This person would really find himself unhappy, and Xianchen asked unceremoniously: "Father, isn't it a fact that it's stumped?" Did Ran Mansion buy me a set of bead jewelry, or did he buy me a brocade dress as noble as my second sister? β
Ran Yune was choked and couldn't speak for a while, but Xian Chen said again: "Father knows, after Xian Chen moved into Guilan Courtyard, everyone in Guilan Courtyard didn't spend the money in Ran Mansion. β
Ran Yune was even more ashamed; But he was unwilling to touch the ash of his nose in front of his daughter, and said coldly to Xian Chen: "Since you have money, why don't you buy yourself a set of noble and gorgeous clothes, and don't buy yourself a set of head-and-face jewelry that can be worn out of the world, are you deliberately shabby our Ran Mansion?" β
Does this person still have a face?
Xianchen was angry, "Father, what's wrong with my dress?" Isn't it clear and elegant, not eye-catching, and not stealing the limelight? Do you want me to wear gold and silver, and be dressed in gold and gold like a local old fat, unique, and swaggering through the market, so that there will be no shabby Ran Mansion and gold on the face of Ran Mansion? β
"You're ......!"
This Ran Xianchen really has the ability to be angry and not pay for his life, is this the attitude that a daughter should have when she speaks to her father?
Ran Yune's originally depressed heart now became irritable, and the nameless fireworks suddenly appeared, and just as she wanted to be angry, she heard the coachman say: "Master, it's time to the palace gate." β
Ran Yune's mouth opened and closed, a wave of anger fished in his throat, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down several times before swallowing this anger into his stomach, however, Xian Chen, completely ignoring his anger, jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the palace gate with the invitation.
Ran Yune got out of the carriage, saw the back of Xian Chen's departure, and lamented the misfortune, how did she give birth to such a ruthless and unrighteous daughter?
He turned to look at the carriage behind them, Yao's mother and daughter got off the carriage and passed by him, Ran Yune stretched out her hand, wanting to help Yao, "Husband......"
As soon as he said a word, he was swallowed back alive, and his outstretched hand froze in the air, looking at the back of Yao's mother and daughter leaving with an embarrassed expression.
Yes, Yao's mother and daughter just passed in front of Ran Yune, completely ignoring his existence, the mother and daughter didn't even look at Ran Yune, and strode past Ran Yune.
Ran Yune stood in place awkwardly, the muscles on her face twitched before she reacted, and a single figure walked towards the palace gate with her head down.
"Dust, dust....... here, here!" A voice came from inside the palace gate.
When Xian Chen heard the prestige, it turned out that the county lord of Lingxi and the eighth princess were standing at the inspection place in the palace gate and beckoned to her, seeing these two waiting for her at the door, Xian Chen's heart warmed, and the smile naturally hung on his face.
After that time after the farewell to Cuiyue Lake, there were many troubles in Xianchen's house, and she didn't have time to go to the eighth princess and the lord of Lingxi to play, even if everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were still very enthusiastic after meeting again, this is a friend who cherishes each other.
Xian Chen's current situation, the eighth princess and the county lord of Lingxi are clear, she offended a lot of people in Cuiyue Lake that day, she entered the palace for the first time this time, there are many rules in the palace, they are worried that Xian Chen will be misled by people with a heart and touch the palace rules, and she will be punished for no reason and wait for her at the gate of the palace early in the morning, if not for anything else, just to protect her from other people with a heart.
"Xian Chen, we haven't seen each other for more than a month when Cuiyue Lake said goodbye that day." The eighth princess's voice is gentle, her skin is as clear as snow, a lake blue wide-sleeved fairy skirt will keep her a little bit of fireworks in the world, an indigo belt is tied around her waist, showing her willow waist and graceful posture to the fullest, half of the three thousand green silk is lightly pulled in the bun and half hangs down on her back waist, the head of the moth eyebrows, the clever smile, and the beautiful eyes.
Before Xian Chen could speak, the county lord of Lingxi took over, "Who said it wasn't, Xian Chen has been looking for me for so long, and you haven't come to the palace to look for me." Then she curled her mouth, so she complained: "Xianchen, shouldn't you have forgotten me and Ziyao (the lord of Lingxi and the eighth princess are good, and the maiden name of the eighth princess has always been called Ziyao), right?" Will we be the tongs that hold the fire - hot at one end? β
The county lord of Lingxi is still dressed when Xiang Xianchen first saw her, with beautiful eyebrows, dressed in a white brocade robe, dressed as a man and dressed as a man free and easy, a pair of saucer-like eyelashes were naughtily fanned, and his eyes looked at Xianchen with bright eyes.
"Hey......"
Xianchen also sighed in frustration, and took out two things from her sleeve pocket, one was a wolf pen embedded in Nanzhu, and the other was a small dagger, she spread the two things in her hand, and displayed them in front of the eighth princess and the Lingxi county lord respectively, "If you are the pincers holding the fire - one is hot, then what am I?" I'm not just a peacock on the screenβI'm being amorous!"
What she had in her hand was the gift that Xian Chen had prepared for the Eighth Princess and the Lingxi County Lord, and when the two girls saw the gift in Xian Chen's hand, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
When they were in Cuiyue Lake, the eighth princess and Lingxi County were able to abandon their worldly eyes and show favor to Xian Chen, who was ugly, naΓ―ve and had no background at that time, and at that time, Xian Chen was impressed by the two of them.
That day, before Gu Ziqi's purpose was unknown, she was taken away from Jade Lake by Gu Ziqi and went to Xianhe Tower, because Gu Ziqi's flower name was outside, the two of them were not at ease, worried that Xianchen would be taken advantage of by Gu Ziqi, so they rushed to Xianhe Tower from Cuiyue Lake, and their love for Xianchen was recorded.
It is precisely because of this love that Xianchen prepared a gift for them early, but it was just in time to give it to them today.
