"Into the palace?" Yanzi had a question, after all, it had only just passed, and the emperor had summoned him to the palace again, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart.

Gonggong Zhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, the emperor summoned the girl into the palace, and the slave specially came to pick up the girl!" ”

Entering the palace again, Yanzi looked at the carriage parked at the door, and took a breath, after all, his original intention was not to have anything to do with the palace, but now the emperor's intentions are not known for what he is going to the palace for.

"So, please clean up the girl and follow the slave into the palace!" Father-in-law Zhang said again.

Yanzi pursed her lips and asked in a deep voice, "Then what can the emperor say?" ”

"Girl, the slave only came to convey the emperor's will, as for what is going on, the slave doesn't know, and he can't ask." Gonggong Zhang said softly.

The sunlight in the sky fell on the ground, pulling the shadow of the swallow slender and falling on the bluestone path behind it.

After a while, Yanzi cleaned up for a while, changed her clothes, said hello to her mother, and then entered the palace with Gonggong Zhang.

The high wall of vermilion lacquer, the golden eaves are slightly warped, the dragon that leaps into the air is extremely majestic, the board road in front of the main hall is long and wide, and it is incomparably wide, only Gonggong Zhang and Yanzi walk on it, and the guards standing next to them are motionless, like sculptures.

The swallow followed the small steps behind Gonggong Zhang, and did not squeak, and finally the two stopped at the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Gonggong Zhang stopped, bowed his waist and went in first to report, and then Yanzi came in.

The red velvet carpet under the feet is also embroidered with auspicious clouds with gold threads, and the faint dragon Xiangwen is embroidered on it, and it feels very soft when you step on it.

Entering the main hall, the tip of the nose smelled a faint soothing incense, and when the corner entered the side hall, I saw the emperor who was looking at the excerpts.

"Slaves and maids see the emperor!" The swallow bowed and saluted, and his every move was generous and decent.

"Get up!" The emperor looked up at the swallow, and also put down the fold in his hand and put it aside.

After a while, the emperor sat down, waved his hand, and gave a seat, so that Yanzi sat on the pear blossom wooden chair next to him.

On the main hall, Yanzi didn't speak, but with a slight smile on her face, after all, she still didn't open her mouth in this meeting, and she didn't know what the emperor's idea was, so she invited herself into the palace this time.

"How about the word I?" I saw the emperor raise his head, look at the swallow with interest, and point to the words on the table in front of him with a jade ring.

Black and white letters, sprinkled and clean.

Yanzi was stunned for a moment, looked up at the words on the table, pursed his lips and said lightly: "The emperor's words are strong in the sky, and every stroke is beautiful and neat, it is a good word!" ”

Hearing Yanzi's words, the emperor laughed heartily twice, picked up a brush on the pen stand, handed it to Yanzi, and raised his eyebrows: "What about your words?" Last time, Father-in-law Zhang went to your house and saw that your couplet was a hairpin flower, which was really beautiful! ”

The couplet at the door of his own home, hairpin flowers? The swallow's brain was running fast, and he remembered the couplet in his home, the word was indeed a hairpin, but it was not written by himself, it was written by his mother.

"Back to the emperor, the couplets in the slave's house were not written by the slave maid, as for the slave's words, it is really unsightly!" The swallow bowed slightly, bowed his head and said.

"You didn't write it? Who wrote that? The emperor put down the brush in his hand, put his hands behind his back, smiled at the corners of his mouth, and stared at the swallow and asked.

The look on the top of his head was like a sharp long sword, although this long sword would not fall on his head, but the majesty of the sword-wielder made the swallow gasp, and he didn't dare to slack off, and he had to be careful in what he said and did, and he didn't dare to say the wrong word.

Yanzi pursed her lips, pinched the hand attached to her waist, wiped off the slight beads of sweat from her palm with her thumb, and said lightly: "That couplet was written by the slave's mother, not by the slave!" ”

"Your mother?" The emperor was puzzled.

"Yes, my mother has nothing to do at home, so I often come to the post, so the couplet at home was written by my mother, and I can enter the eyes of Father-in-law Zhang, and thank the emperor for his love." The swallow bowed his head again.

It wasn't written by her, the emperor frowned slightly, and then looked at her appearance, as if he was thinking about something, but then he diverted the topic again.

"I summoned you to the palace today, I have something to discuss with you, the book you launched in Baiwenzhai, I also read it in my spare time, it is really good, the truth is easy to understand, the comics are indeed ingenious, but it is different from ordinary books, no wonder it is deeply liked by children, even the twelve princes are holding your Baiwenzhai books and not letting go!" The emperor sat on the chair and said in a deep voice to the swallow.

Yanzi looked up, smiled, and said: "We Baiwenzhai people came up with it, the book itself has to be read before you can read it, and most children like it to be interesting, so I changed it." ”

"Now that the education of the Jin Kingdom is exactly what is needed, I showed your book to the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and they all said that it was good, so I think that I will have to bother Miss Zhao more in the future!" The emperor's words were direct and not direct, and they directly involved the Ministry of Rites, but he didn't say what he wanted Yanzi to do.

While he was talking, Father-in-law Zhang, who was at the door, came to report that the second prince had arrived.

"Pass it, let him in!" The emperor was silent.

After a while, I saw the second prince slowly come in, wearing a dark satin robe, with a red grain harvest sachet pinned to his waist, and the Suihe pendant below swayed slightly with his footsteps, his hair was tied up high with a hair crown, and his facial features were handsome, which was somewhat similar to the emperor.

"The son of the emperor to meet his father!" The second prince, Honghe, stood in the center of the main hall, bowed his head and bowed.

Yanzi also got up slightly, saluted the second prince and said, "Slave and maid see the second prince!" ”

Subsequently, the second prince also sat opposite Yanzi, looked at her, pursed his lips and said: "Father and Emperor passed on Miss Zhao to enter the palace today, it should be for the sake of the book of Baiwenzhai in the capital!" ”

"Yes, why are you here?" When the emperor saw the second prince, his face was much more pleasant, and he turned his head to look at the two princes Honghe with interest.

I saw the second prince suddenly said: "Naturally, because of the Ministry of Rites, now the ministers of the Ministry of Rites have said that they want to expand the academy and build a school, and the ministers came here today for this matter." ”

"It is indeed a matter of benefiting the people to expand the academy and build a school, but now the education of the Jin Kingdom is not just a matter of doing it, but it should be considered in the long run." The emperor answered.

Yanzi looked at this posture, whether she wanted to discuss political affairs, she was a civilian, and it was better not to be there.

"Your Majesty, the second prince, if the slave and maid are not to retire first, after the discussion of the two princes of the emperor, if the emperor still has something to say to the slave and maid, the slave and maid will come again." The swallow bowed slightly.
