Volume 1 Young Heart Chapter 58 Emperor Hao
Outside the Fengyang Palace, the palace maid stood with her head bowed, her chest trembling slightly to show the tiredness just now.
In the hall, bursts of heat rushed to the face, making people breathless.
Li Xiao looked at the sweaty palace maid outside the hall, and then looked inside, hesitating for a while.
Although the Kyoshi is located in the north, it is not too hot in April and May, but this place that has just experienced the sauna is not stuffy. Li Xiao didn't know how Concubine Wan endured such stuffiness, he only knew that he definitely couldn't stand it.
"Why doesn't Childe go in?" Ruoxi stood behind Li Xiao, looked at the hesitant Li Xiao, and asked.
Li Xiao withdrew his left foot that had just stepped in, then wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, I want to go to a thatched house first, I don't know if it's okay." ”
"Why don't you come in?" Wan Guifei's voice seemed to be a little impatient, with a hint of coldness, which made the originally hot air cool down.
"Childe, let's go in quickly." Ruo Xi looked at the inside of the temple and persuaded.
As Wan Guifei's personal female official, if you know the temper of your master, Wan Guifei has already called twice, and Li Xiao has not gone in, then it will be difficult to do it at that time, let alone cure the princess, it is a great achievement, you have made Wan Guifei wait for so long, and any work can be done.
"Sss Li Xiao took a deep breath. Maybe it's just stuffy, it's nothing, and the patience is over.
Thinking about it, I have to go inside.
At this moment, Li Xiao's side light saw a familiar figure walking briskly not far away.
It's Xu Sheng.
Turning his head, he saw Gonggong Xu's anxious footsteps walking towards him, it seemed that there was something, as for what it was, it was easy to guess, it was estimated that His Majesty the Emperor, who was busy dealing with government affairs, was worried about his baby daughter, and the figure specially sent someone to ask about the result.
It's hard for Father-in-law Xu, just busy running around in a day, and it's not easy on a hot day.
"Concubine Niangniang." Xu Sheng walked to Li Xiao's side, and was instantly choked by the oncoming heat, and hurriedly coughed twice.
The emperor sent someone here, and Concubine Wan stopped torturing Li Xiao, lay down lazily, wiped the fine sweat that flowed out, and said, "Gonggong Xu, what is the matter with Your Majesty sending you?" ”
Xu Sheng lowered his head and wiped the hot sweat that came out, bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty is worried about the situation of Your Highness, so I specially asked the old slave to come and take a look, and by the way, take Li Gongzi over." ”
As he spoke, Xu Sheng glanced at Li Xiao and saw that the latter was full of gratitude, but he was also very puzzled.
Li Xiao naturally wants to be grateful to Xu Sheng, and he has to be grateful to His Majesty, without them, it is estimated that he must have a sauna today.
It's not that I don't want to, although the sauna is very cool, but I can't stand the heat, and I don't enjoy it, and I have to resist Wan Guifei's words in the process.
Sweat can be there at any time, but life is not. Although his life was picked up, he cherished it, and not every time he could cross it, let alone every time he had a flower-like sister who grew up with him.
"The doctor found by His Royal Highness has some ability, Changle is fine, and he can wake up after a while." Wan Guifei yawned and said lazily: "If this person wants to take it away, take it away, if it's a pity, let the imperial dining room prepare dinner, make a hibiscus Qing, and Changle will eat at night." ”
"Yes." If you owe it and say.
To tell the truth, she didn't dare to go in, the burst of heat just now made her instantly understand Li Xiao's original hesitation, it was indeed too hot inside, like Li Xiao, she also had concerns in this regard, who could guarantee that in this case, she could still stay awake.
Nodding towards Li Xiao, he turned around and walked in the other direction, presumably there was the imperial dining room of the palace.
"Niangniang, the old slave took Li Gongzi and left." Xu Sheng bowed and said.
However, there was no movement in the house, so it must be Wan Guifei asleep.
As a doctor, Li Xiao could hear the tiredness of the woman inside, and could see that she was very concerned about the princess on the sickbed, and the fatigue of a few days slowly faded under the comfort of sweating, and finally fell asleep.
"Li Gongzi, let's go." Xu Sheng looked at Li Xiao and said softly.
"Hmm." Li Xiao nodded.
I have to go, cure the princess's illness, and the purpose of my trip is completed, and all that remains is the unspeakable plan. Plans are just plans, and when I go back to Suzhou, I avoid the plan and come back to find the truth.
As for Yu Xian'er and Zhang Dabao, don't worry about it for now, let's talk about this matter, so as not to get into any more trouble. But the boy who was reading in Jiaku last night had to look for it and ask if this guy had exposed his traces.
As Xu Sheng entered the long corridor, he headed westward, past several palaces, and arrived at the imperial study where the emperor was.
This road is not long, but it is not short, it is just boring.
There are many imperial guards patrolling along the way, and there are many eyes and ears in the harem, and Li Xiao is naturally not easy to talk to Xu Sheng, presumably Xu Sheng will not take the initiative to find trouble.
"Li Gongzi, you wait, let's go and report to Your Majesty first." Xu Sheng said, then threw down Li Xiao and entered the imperial study alone.
Looking at Xu Sheng who entered the door, Li Xiao shrugged helplessly.
Come on, wait again. Then wait, it's okay anyway.
Even if I think so, I still find it boring. There was no interesting scenery outside the imperial study, and there were more than a dozen red-armored guards standing in a long corridor, all of them standing solemnly, without any expression, Rao is Li Xiao made faces again and again, and they didn't say anything.
There were not many people coming and going to the imperial study, except for the palace maid who came in and out a few times with something she didn't know, there was no one.
Li Xiao paced back and forth at the door, constantly poking inside, but unfortunately all he saw were rows of shelves full of books, and through the gaps, he could only see a pale yellow gauze tent.
However, the imperial study room is cool, and the architectural form used looks similar to that of the Fengyang Palace, and it can be guessed from the things that the palace maid keeps bringing out, and there will be no shortage of things to cool off.
I don't know how long I waited, but seeing that it was getting dark, the meals sent from the imperial dining room were also delivered in plates.
Steaming hot, I smelled Li Xiao's greed.
"Gongzi Li, Your Majesty let you in."
Just thinking about it, Xu Sheng came out of it and said with a smile.
Seeing him like this, the emperor's mood is not bad, and his reward will not be less. Although we don't care about rewards that much, royal things are always special, and wouldn't it be nice to take them back and make a gift for your sister.
As Xu Sheng entered the imperial study, Li Xiao knew about the furnishings inside, and this place deserved to be called the imperial study.
The books, full of volumes, row by row, surround the furnishings, very similar to the library in Li Xiao's memory. Further inside, there is a thin curtain that separates the outer room from the inner room, which is also where Li Xiao can walk.
"Li Xiao?" A male voice came from the inner room.
That person is now the emperor of Haoguo.
"The grass people have seen Your Majesty." Li Xiao stood and bowed.
"Kneel, kneel." Xu Sheng, who was on the side, was shocked when he saw that Li Xiao did not kneel, and was busy reminding him softly.
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Hao put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a sip of hot tea, and then said: "Li Xiao has just healed Changle, which is considered meritorious, so there is no need to kneel." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Whew." Xu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, fortunately, there is good news from the north today, Your Majesty is in a good mood, otherwise Li Xiao would be so rude, he would have been pressed into the prison a long time ago, and he would have been sent down.
"It's been a busy day, and I haven't eaten yet." Emperor Hao said: "There is some food next to it, you eat it." ”
Not in a consultative tone, but in a commanding tone.
Although the emperor in front of him spoke calmly, there was no room for negotiation in every word, let Li Xiao eat, Li Xiao could not refuse, this is the Son of Heaven, the son of Heaven. In the whole world, he is the biggest.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Li Xiao walked to the dining table on the side, sat down cross-legged, and smelled the food, which was full of aroma.
"Then Li Xiao is welcome."
After that, he picked up the bamboo chopsticks and ate them without any scruples.
It's very fragrant, the things in the palace are indeed fragrant, a few ordinary dishes can make different tastes, and the chef in the imperial dining room is really powerful. But eating is eating, and he doesn't know what the emperor means.
Is this a reward for healing the princess? That's too shabby, not to mention a thousand taels of gold, but also to give some useful things, just such a meal, then he might as well pay to go to Penglai Xianju to consume, where at least there are good-looking girls, good songs. It's better than being here, having to be scared and uncomfortable to eat.
"Uh...... "Li Xiao burped, and as a result, the herbal tea handed by the little eunuch took a sip.
"Full?" Emperor Hao looked at the fold and asked.
"It's full." As he spoke, Li Xiao glanced at Xu Sheng, who was standing aside with an ugly face.
He knew what Gonggong Xu was thinking, the appearance of his eating just now could be said to be very ugly, and he was rude, but why did he care so much about eating, how to eat quickly, and how to eat comfortably. And I am indeed hungry, no matter how slow and leisurely, I pay attention to the appearance of eating, there is no need. I believe that the Ninety-Five Venerable inside can understand.
"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Emperor Hao made a mark on the fold with an expressionless face and asked directly.
"Whatever Your Majesty gives, the grass people want." Li Xiao stood up, touched his slightly swollen belly, and said.
"Oh?" Emperor Hao put down the fold and looked at Li Xiao through the gauze tent.
The young man in front of him is not very old, but he is not small. In the face of the king of a country, he can speak so calmly, which his sons cannot do. This courage means that his newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, or does he say that he is old and calm.
"But the grass people have a request." Li Xiao glanced at his knees and said with a smile.
"Say."
"Can the grass people not kneel in the future." Li Xiao asked cautiously.
Not kneeling, in today's era, can be said to be rude.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Sheng's heart immediately hung up. Just now, His Majesty didn't let him kneel for the sake of Li Xiao curing the princess, why did he have to kneel now and not kneel in the future, so where is the ceremony of letting the monarch and the minister go. Our majesty is not an idle person, and he can let Li Xiao fool around.
"Aren't you kneeling now?" Emperor Hao looked at Li Xiao, paused for a long time, and said.
