Chapter Seventy-Seven: Re-entering the Palace
Three days is enough time for many things to happen, but nothing happened, Duan Zhong just drank tea leisurely every day, accompanied Su'er to joke, and passed the time.
And today, it is the day of the fortieth birthday of Emperor Wen of Liang Liang in Nanliang, and the entire Nanliang seems to have been waiting for this day for a long time, and the same is true for Duan Chong.
In addition to today's birthday of Emperor Wen of Liang, it is also the day when hundreds of officials go to court as usual. In order to show that he was diligent in government and loved the people, Emperor Wen of Liang also deliberately announced that the early dynasty would continue as usual, which made the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bitter, and they had to get up from bed in less than two watches, and after the early dynasty, they had to stay in the palace to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and he didn't even have time to go back to the house to rest. So it was destined to be an extremely hard and extremely festive day.
Although Duan Chong has the title of earl and is a doctor in Taixue, Xiao Beiping specially asked Duan Zheng the day before if he would not go to court together, but Duan Chong categorically refused Xiao Beiping's invitation and chose to sleep at home out of consideration for his sleep quality.
This early in the morning got up and ran to the court, Duan Chong could think of what he would discuss with his ass. In addition to the flattery of hundreds of officials, there is also what kind of nonsense about the country's peace and security, the whole country celebrates, and what kind of congratulatory gifts are sent by the envoys. In this form, the meeting section is naturally disdainful of attending, or it is important to sleep.
However, even if he didn't go to the early dynasty, Duan Zhong still got up when the sky was bright. It's not for any other reason, but the time for this court to go down is still very early. Therefore, Duan Zhong could only wait outside the palace gate early, waiting for the chief eunuch to shout "next dynasty", and then took out his waist card and entered the palace gate.
Today, there is a special place in the palace to house hundreds of officials, so the noon gate of today's next dynasty is not as crowded as in the past, full of ministers who are in a hurry to go home to sleep, but only the ministers who are in a hurry and temporarily leave the palace, as well as Xiao Beiping.
This Xiao Beiping is naturally here to take over Duan Chong. From a distance, he saw Duan Zhong slowly and leisurely stomping his steps in the palace, and hurriedly sped up his pace and ran out. Xiao Beiping was wearing a bright red brocade dragon satin today, which looked particularly festive, but in Duan Chong's eyes, it looked a little funny, so he was a little embarrassed when he looked at Duan Chong's gaze, and showed a shy smile.
Duan Zhong patted Xiao Beiping on the shoulder: "Big man, you smile like a little girl, you really make me disgusting." What the hell did you call me into the palace early in the morning? Your Majesty's banquet should be arranged in the evening, right? ”
Xiao Beiping laughed dryly: "Don't talk about this, follow me first." As he spoke, he pulled Duan Zhong down the road.
Duan Zhong was stunned: "Isn't this the way to the harem?" Why are you leading me that way? The minister wasn't there. ”
Xiao Beiping shook his head and said, "Don't pretend you don't know, if your head can't guess what I want you to do, I'll give you the position of the eldest prince." ”
Duan Zhong touched his nose: "Don't forget, I'm also a prince." ”
Xiao Beiping was stunned, how could he forget this stubble. Hurriedly patted his head: "Whatever, the ladies of the kilometer miss you tightly, you are full of good words and stories, but let the ladies keep chattering, every time you meet me, ask you when you will enter the palace next time." If you don't follow me today, these girls will definitely peel me off. ”
Duan Zhong squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "I think it's my perfume." Thinking of the harem who are lonely and lonely and empty all the year round, and can't wait to paint the rouge gouache thicker than the dough, and thinking of those eyes that are eager to swallow Duan Chong, Duan Chong shook his head helplessly, sighed again, and then continued: "It's not impossible for me to go, but after everything, take me to meet Princess Izumo." ”
Xiao Beiping's face immediately drooped, showing the appearance of a resentful woman: "Can't you let my sister go?" She's just a kid. ”
Duan Zhong shook his head very seriously: "Don't forget, I'm also a child." ”
———————————————————————————————————————
There are as many as seventeen ladies and talents in the palace, which is enough to imagine how brave and strong Emperor Wen Liang was at night. At that time, both day and night, it was Emperor Liang Wendi's world, and now it seems that only daytime is Emperor Liang Wendi's world.
So in the face of the ladies who have been guarding the empty boudoir for four or five years, Duan Zhong was able to come out alive, which is really a fortunate thing. And Xiao Beiping finally fulfilled his promise and took Duan Zhong to find Princess Izumo.
When I found Princess Izumo, the little girl was dressing up with flowers, and the women in the palace, no matter how old or young, were always the most, so it was time to get up in the morning and dress up at noon, which was an extremely normal thing.
Princess Izumo knew that her royal brother had come to visit her, so she had to rub it for another half an hour before she left the room. And as soon as our Izumo princess came out, she was pleasantly surprised to find Duan Zhong.
Princess Izumo had seen Duan Chong, and although she didn't spend much time together, Duan Chong used her humorous conversation and good stories to quickly conquer the little girl in front of her. In Duan Chong's guidelines, the little girl has always been the best to deceive, and whether she can deceive or not is unacceptable to Duan Chong.
It's just that the last time I met Princess Izumo in the palace, it was purely accidental, that is, the perfume was also sent to the ladies in the palace, and Duan Zhong didn't have any gifts on him at that time, so he could only leave the palace depressed. And this time Duan Zhong came prepared, and naturally he wanted to achieve certain results.
Originally, it was already noon, and it was time for dinner, so Xiao Beiping, Princess Izumo's brother and sister and Duan Zhong had lunch together. Duan Chong, the chef in the palace dining room, is the first time to see it, the taste is really good, there is no need to have a bad cook in the outer building, you must know that many of the chefs in the outer building are trained by Duan Zhong himself. It seems that the cooks in the palace still have a lot of ancestral secret recipes.
Originally, the rule in the palace was that you couldn't talk when eating, but Duan Zhong was not a person who obeyed the rules, so naturally there were spittle stars flying on the dinner table telling stories. Although Xiao Beiping also likes to listen to Duan Chong's stories, it is obvious that the stories Duan Chong tells today are not the type that Xiao Beiping likes. Because Duan Zhong told the story of a little girl, it was used to coax Li Chan'er on Cangshan back then.
Duan Chong first told a story of "Snow White", and then told a "Daughter of the Sea", two simple stories, Duan Chong told for an hour. No one doubts Duan Chong's storytelling skills. As a direct consequence, all the rich dishes on this table were cold, and only Xiao Beiping occasionally moved a few chopsticks boringly.
In this short hour, Princess Izumo cried and laughed for a while, and she was already deeply immersed in the story, so that after listening to the sad ending of "Daughter of the Sea", she pouted and cried and asked Duan Chong to change the ending, which really embarrassed Duan Chong.
You can't stay in Princess Izumo's palace for too long, after all, there is a banquet for Emperor Liang Wen's birthday this night. So Duan Zhong can only tell two stories, don't reluctantly say goodbye. And the parting is that Duan Zhong gave the little princess two gifts, one is naturally Duan Chong's exclusive perfume, and the other is a set of dresses specially designed by Duan Zhong for a long time.
This is a Western princess dress designed by Duan Zhong according to memory, but it is somewhat similar to the wedding dress worn during the stage performance on the night of the opening of "Heaven and Earth", and most importantly, this dress is very in line with the little girl's heart, so Princess Izumo was naturally very excited when she received this gift, and immediately said that she would wear it out at night.
By the time Xiao Beiping came out of Princess Izumo, it was already ten in the afternoon. Xiao Beiping patted Duan Chong's shoulder and said, "How are you preparing, nothing will go wrong at night, right?" "This question is naturally a birthday gift and program for Emperor Liang Wendi, and Xiao Beiping has carte blanche to handle this matter.
Duan nodded and said, "Naturally, there won't be anything wrong with this. I've already brought the 'Twelve Women's Bands' into the palace, what are you worried about? “
Xiao Beiping asked again, "Did Miss Li invite you?" ”
Duan shook his head.
"Why?"
"I don't want her to be able to get out of the palace if she enters the palace." Duan Zhong was telling the truth, after all, with the beauty of Miss Li, if she entered the palace, it was indeed a question of whether she could leave the palace. Although Emperor Liang Wendi has been ill for a long time, it is not impossible to keep a vase.
Xiao Beiping sighed: "There are already so many warblers and warblers around you, why do you catch each one so tightly, you really don't let others live." ”
Duan Zhong hurriedly waved his hand: "I came here with real skills, if you can steal them without relying on your power and money, I naturally won't blame you." ”
Xiao Beiping knew that he couldn't fight for Duan Chong, and he couldn't say that Duan Chong couldn't say it, so he was really helpless. So I had to avoid the topic and said, "Are you just preparing these things?" Can this alone please my father? ”
Duan Zhong smiled and shook his head: "Didn't you see the three carriages that followed me when I entered the palace?" Everything I prepared was in the carriage. ”
Xiao Beiping was stunned: "It won't be the silver of the three-horse carriage, right?" ”
"Is your father short of silver?"
Xiao Beiping shook his head.
"That's not it. You'll naturally find out at night. You won't be disappointed. ”
Xiao Beiping nodded and said, "Then what are we going to do now?" ”
Duan Zhong was stunned: "Isn't this what you should arrange?" Then he sighed and said, "That's it, I don't think it's too early, let's go and arrange things for the evening." ”
Xiao Beiping nodded: "Okay, let's go to the scene of the dinner now." ”
