The carriages and horses were slow along the way, but no matter how long the road was, there would eventually be an end, and soon after, they still came to the palace gate, Lin Fan and Lin Ruxian got out of the carriage and slowly walked towards the palace gate.

In the past two years, although Lin Ruxian's grade is not too high, he is quite valued by His Majesty and often summoned, so he is also an old man who often enters the palace, and the guards in front of the palace are not strangers to him.

Although they are guarding the palace gate, they have not seen the battle a few days ago, and they may be guards in the palace, and their family backgrounds are not simple, and many of them are from a century-old noble family. Of course, it may not be a descendant, these people are more of a descendant of each family, their status is not too high, and they are sent to fight for a future, as for the descendants of each family, they naturally have a better way out, or they can wait at home to attack the lord, they don't have to come here to be a little guard, they don't look down on it.

But then it's a concubine, after all, the family is big, and through the news of the family, most of them know a lot about that war.

Now everyone knows that Lin Ruxian's son played a vital role in this battle, fighting to the death on the battlefield, laying the foundation for the victory of the official army, and almost martyrdom, so he is quite valued and loved by His Majesty.

These people don't look at the official status is not high, but they are noble, and they are all characters with hands and eyes, even if the news is closed and the reaction is stupid, they all know that after this battle, the father and son of the Lin family will definitely soar to the sky, and the addition of officials to the knighthood is in front of them.

Lin Ruxian will enter the palace at this time, and the reason is not difficult to guess, it must be that His Majesty's will to reward the Lin family and his son has reached the Lin Mansion, and he will thank him back and forth. Especially when he was accompanied by a young man who seemed to be seriously ill and entered the palace with him, at this juncture, the identity of that young man was not difficult to see.

These people can be selected by their families and sent to the palace to seek a background, which shows that these people may not have great ability, but there is no stupid person, at least they are all people with active minds.

Otherwise, the companion is like a tiger, and the rules in the palace are even bigger than the sky, if you really send an eyeless family child into the palace, it will be to pin the head of the whole family to the waistband of your pants, and no one dares to take this risk.

Therefore, these people are also smart people, although they dare not speculate on the holy will without authorization, but many people have also sorted out the ins and outs of the matter in their hearts in this short period of time.

At present, the Lin family's father and son, Sheng'en Zhenglong, are destined to go further in the court, as long as the holy family does not retreat, the Lin family can stand tall in the court.

This is a good opportunity to close the distance, and even if you can't get some benefits for the time being, you can't go wrong with them. Now the situation is unpredictable, and I used to think that entering the palace as a guard was a way to heaven, but now it seems that this may not be the case. So make more friends with more people and get more insurance, who knows when you can use it?

So they saw Lin Ruxian walking towards the palace gate, so they smiled on their faces, and stepped forward to greet each other: "Lord Lin is here, and he is not far away from the inferior!" ”

"You've been waiting here for a long time, and I'm ashamed!" Lin Ruxian bowed to them.

The guards hurriedly said: "This is my equal responsibility, you don't have to be polite!" ”

"Presumably this is Lord Lin's son, Lord Kobayashi, who became famous in the big battle a few days ago, right?" The guards looked at Lin Fan and asked again.

"It's the dog!" Lin Ruxian nodded. "Fan'er, haven't you come forward to see a few people, you are not young now, how can you still be so ignorant of etiquette!"

"Lin Fan has seen a few guard brothers, and during the time that my father was in Beijing, I was taken care of by you!" Lin Fan's face was pale, and sweat oozed from his forehead, but he still bowed to a few people.

"Lord Xiaolin is polite, we are a group of big soldiers guarding the door, but we don't have the ability to take care of Lord Lin, Lord Lin takes care of us about the same!" The guards teased.

Lin Fan chuckled: "A few big brothers are too modest!" ”

Lin Fan will not take these people's words seriously, they just say it themselves, if others dare to say it, it will be clearly offending people.

And they are really not big soldiers, these people are noble, and the reason why they are willing to enter the palace as guards is just to mix their backgrounds and gild themselves with a layer of gold. These people, to say the least, also have six or seven rank official positions, and the head of the guard among them is at least a fourth-rank official rank.

Hearing Lin Fan's words, the leader of these people smiled and said: "What is too modest, we know our own affairs, and we have relied on a little family background to get to where we are now, compared to Lord Xiaolin's fighting on the battlefield, I don't know how bad it is!" ”

Lin Fan wanted to say more, but the man waved his hand and said with a proud smile: "Okay, Lord Lin and Lord Xiaolin still have something to do when they enter the palace, and these words of mutual praise will be left for later." ”

"When Lord Kobayashi heals from his injuries and a few of us are not on duty, I will be the east, and everyone will gather together, I wonder if Lord Kobayashi will appreciate his face?"

Lin Fan Zhengse said: "Thanks to the big brothers, you will not give up, you will be invited, and there is no reason not to go down!" ”

"Hahaha, okay, then it's decided!" The man laughed.

A little eunuch who was ordered to wait for the two at the palace gate said at this time: "Okay, the greeting has also been called, let's hurry up and get down to business, Your Majesty is still waiting!" ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Ruxian and Lin Fan listen to the order!" ”

Without waiting for the two to kneel, the little eunuch said again: "Your Majesty said, Lord Xiaolin is injured, so there is no need to kneel." And Lin Shangshu is not only the father of Lord Xiaolin, but also exempt from the ceremony! ”

Then he officially declared: "Lin Fan fought for the country, so that he was seriously injured, and now he is specially given his father and son to ride on his shoulders and enter the palace, admire this!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Father and son bowed.

"Two adults, please get up!" The little eunuch smiled at them.

He shouted to a few little eunuchs not far away, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you ask the two adults to sit on it! ”

Those eunuchs hurriedly raised their shoulders and came over: "Two adults, please come up!" ”

Lin Ruxian's father and son looked at each other, they looked at the two shoulders in front of them, although they were just two people walking together, but they could take advantage of the palace forbidden, what a great grace it must be.

"Two adults, what's wrong?" Seeing that the two of them were in a daze, the eunuch who announced the decree asked with some doubts.

"Nothing, nothing!" The father and son hurriedly said.

The eunuch urged: "Since there is nothing to do, the two adults should hurry up!" ”

"Okay, my father-in-law bothered!" Lin Ruxian said.

The father and son shouldered each other, and the little eunuchs carried them into the palace gate.

The shoulders are very comfortable, the underneath is cushioned with a satin bottom, and the eunuchs who carry it walk very steadily, even if there are occasional bumps in the road, Lin Fan can hardly feel it.

It's just that Lin Fan is used to riding horses and rarely rides sedan chairs, so he only feels uncomfortable and awkward.

But he didn't dare to move, for fear that his movements would cause the person he was carrying to be unsteady. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if you fall, but if you get the little eunuchs punished, you won't be happy.

endured it like this, until outside a large hall, the little eunuchs put down the father and son.

"Two adults, the villains can only be sent here, and the rest of the way can only be left to the two adults themselves!" The chief eunuch said.

"There is Father-in-law Lao, thank you!" Lin Ruxian sincerely thanked him.

Shoulder to shoulder, there are others to lead the way for the two of them.

On the way, Lin Ruxian introduced to Lin Fan: "Fan'er, this is the Wuying Palace, where His Majesty receives the ministers, and some ceremonies will also be held here." ”

The person who led the way was the little eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, he was Zhang Tianyang's godson, and he had to call Yu Chaoen an ancestor according to his generation.

Before it comes out, old

The ancestor has already spoken, to be polite to the Lin family and his son, now these two saints are in the ascendant, offending them is tantamount to offending Your Majesty, if you make Your Majesty angry, even he can't protect himself.

This person complimented the two of them: "Knowing that the two adults are going to enter the palace to thank you, Your Majesty has been waiting for you early." I have served His Majesty for so many years, and I have rarely seen His Majesty be so attentive to foreign ministers. ”

"Jun's grace is deep, and the ministers are ashamed!" Lin Ruxian replied.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Lin Fan quietly stuffed this person with a silver ticket. He asked, "Is there anyone else in the Wuying Palace, or did Your Majesty only receive my father and son!" ”

This person's attitude was even more kind, and he said with a smile: "After Your Majesty finished handling political affairs today, he only summoned two adults into the palace, and no one else. ”

He saw that Lin Fan was thoughtful, so he said again: "Lord Xiaolin doesn't know, Your Majesty knows that Lord Xiaolin is coming, but he is very happy." Your Majesty has always been unpredictable, and he is unapologetic to people, even I, a slave, have never seen His Majesty laugh! ”

"But today, Your Majesty is obviously very interested, and he is also a lot more kind to us minions, this is all a blessing that has dragged Lord Xiaolin!"

Lin Fan is reminding the emperor that he is in a good mood today, as long as he doesn't deliberately make him angry, there will be no problems.

He bowed: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it!" ”

The man smiled and said, "Where, this is what I should do!" ”

Unconsciously, several people had already come to the door of the Wuying Palace. The man whispered to the two of them, "Please wait here for two adults, and I will go and report to Your Majesty!" ”

And when the man had finished speaking, he went into the temple, leaving the father and son to wait here.

This is a forbidden place in the palace, heavily guarded, and hindered by the etiquette system, Lin Fan is not good to look around, otherwise he will be suspected of exceeding the courtesy.

He looked at Lin Ruxian, but found that his father was worthy of being a frequent visitor to this Wuying Palace, and after only a while, he began to close his eyes and recuperate again, and it seemed that he was not worried about things for a while.

With his father like this, Lin Fan couldn't be bothered, so he could only stay here honestly and wait for the news inside.

After a while, the man went back and forth, and said to the two, "Your Majesty has announced that the two adults have come to you, please come with me!" ”

The two of them followed the man and entered the temple.

Not daring to look up, Lin Fan followed Lin Ruxian and bowed to the figure on the throne and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor, who was reviewing the folds, raised his head when he heard the sound and said with a smile: "The two Aiqing are exempt from courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Only then did the two of them stand up respectfully.

Seeing that Lin Fan was having an extremely difficult time getting up, the emperor asked with concern: "How is Xiao Lin Aiqing's injury, has he ever recovered?" ”

"Your Majesty Xie is concerned, after these few days of recuperation, the minister's body is much better, and he has the potential to recover. It's just that the doctor said that if you want to be thorough, you still need to raise it for some time! Lin Fan hurriedly replied.

"That's good, Aiqing Kobayashi's injury has improved, and I will be relieved. You need to get well quickly, and I am ready to hand over many important things to you in the future! The Emperor chuckled softly.

Speaking of this, the emperor frowned slightly, and said to the eunuch waiting beside him with some displeasure: "What are you still doing in a daze, don't you know that Xiaolin Aiqing has injuries on her body?" Why don't you go and move two stools for the two adults! ”

The eunuch hurriedly moved two embroidered piers and placed them behind Lin Fan and the two, and Lin Ruxian led Lin Fan to kneel again: "How can there be a place for the ministers to sit in front of Your Majesty, the ministers are afraid!" ”

Zhao Huan said disapprerovingly: "There is no one else here today, so there is no need to have so many formalities, let you sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Father and son couldn't excuse themselves. got up and sat on the embroidery pier, but he only dared to sit on the edge, and did not dare to sit down, so as not to lose his appearance in front of the emperor.
