Chapter 22 Entering the Palace
It's still Danfeng Hall.
The eaves on both sides are raised high, each standing a flying phoenix, the phoenix is forty-five degrees to the sky, as if it is about to break free from gravity, fly to the sky, the whole posture is carved vividly, and the pride in the phoenix's eyes is vivid. It is said that the pair of phoenixes on the eaves were painted by the Queen of Heaven and carved by the first-class carvers at that time.
There are thirty-six white marble steps in front of the Danfeng Palace.
Du Rui slowly ascended along the stone steps, Wei Yue and Mo Chou guarded on both sides of him respectively, Mo Chou's long sword was still taken off when he entered the palace, and it was stored at the palace gate, and he had to go out of the palace with the number plate to get it.
The sunlight shone obliquely from the other side of the square, stretching the shadows of several people very long.
Perhaps because of the assassination, there were many palace guards in front of and behind the Danfeng Palace, they were wearing heavy armor, and there were many people standing along the steps on the left and right, like mud puppets, looking ahead with their heads held high.
Seeing the big military parade in the future, this solemn scene can't scare Du Rui.
You must know that in later generations, he was almost the youngest official to go to the city tower, but unfortunately, a serious illness ruined everything.
He smiled, smiling towards the front left, as if someone was talking to him in the air, but he didn't stop, and under the gaze of Wei Yue and Mo Chou, he walked up the stairs.
Soon, he came to the temple gate.
There, there was a eunuch holding a cloud sweep, who was more than ten years old and looked quite delicate.
Seeing Du Rui and his party, he took two steps forward and bowed to Du Rui.
"Your Highness the Thirteenth, wishful and auspicious ......"
At this time, Du Rui should nod and say.
"Auspicious."
He just smiled, didn't stop, walked to the side of the little eunuch, grabbed the cloud sweep in the eunuch's hand, and was about to snatch it.
"I can't do it! No ......"
The eunuch didn't dare to use force, he couldn't hurt Du Rui, and he couldn't let him take it away, so he could only carefully pull with Du Rui, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, he looked up and looked around as he spoke, hoping that someone could help him.
Naturally, those guys turned a blind eye.
Mo Chou took two steps forward and called softly.
"Shaojun!"
After a few consecutive calls, Du Rui heard it, and he looked back at Mo Chou.
Tilting his head, he seemed to be recognizing something, and after a while, he let go of the cloud sweep he was holding in his hand and came to Mo Chou, at this time, a female official swayed from the hall like a willow branch blown by the wind to the outside of the hall.
With a smile on her face, she turned sideways towards Du Rui, put her hands flat on her waist, and squatted slightly.
"Your Highness the Thirteenth, the Empress will let you in......"
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Wei Yue and Mo Chou, and at this time, the smile on her face disappeared and became slightly arrogant.
"You two, come along......
Du Rui lowered his head, dragged his feet to the ground, and moved forward.
His gaze fell on one place.
He remembered it vividly.
The carpet that day has been changed, although it is the same colorful, but the pattern is slightly different, however, Du Rui can still clearly remember that there, there was originally a person lying there, he still remembered her eyes, looking at his eyes when he was dying, it was an indescribable reluctance, a kind of indescribable heartbreak.
He could feel the sadness.
After little Du Rui regained his memory, he also had a lot of emotions, and these emotions often hit his heart.
Under normal circumstances, he is able to suppress these emotions, after all, he has a very thorough attitude towards life, and sometimes, he can think about problems from God's point of view, rather than putting himself into it.
However, it is impossible to shake off that emotion right now.
He blinked and grinned, like a child, and the laughter echoed through the hall, very loudly.
A huge bed was placed on the top of the main hall, Guo Yuqi was wearing a neon dress and a phoenix crown, leaning obliquely on the couch, with a table in front of her, with wine and fruit, and on one side, there was a palace maid gently shaking a fan for her.
Hearing the laughter, she pursed her lips and smiled, placing her right hand on the desk, her knuckles tapping rhythmically on the table.
Standing solemnly in front of the couch, squinting his eyes, staring at Du Rui who was smiling as if no one was smiling next to him, it was difficult to see what he was thinking clearly through his eyes, in the court, if people could understand your joys, sorrows and sorrows through their eyes, in that case, it would be better for you to rest early.
Not care!
Beacon City actually doesn't care about Du Rui at all!
Even if Du Rui is pretending to be stupid, so what?
Because she often stays by Queen Guo's side, Beacon City actually knows that during the time when Yingzong Du Zhen was very fond of her, Queen Guo was not in a very good mood, but she controlled it well, even the people around her were not clear.
During that time, although Yingzong often stayed at Mrs. Shu's place, Mrs. Shu was not pampered and arrogant, but waited for Queen Guo like she used to be a palace maid, even if Queen Guo lost her temper for no reason, she also suffered it, and there was no sense of grievance. At that time, the reason why Empress Guo asked her to serve Yingzong was because she was pregnant with her third child in her belly, and it was impossible for her to have sex with Yingzong, so she asked the palace maids around her to accompany her.
No, the little palace maid soon became pregnant.
Empress Guo's third son, Wu Lingjun, was several months older than Du Rui, but he was unlucky.
When Wu Lingjun was born, the power of the rebels in Handan, Hebei Province was expanding, and in those days, Yingzong had been anxious and had no energy to tease his son, that is, he looked twice when he was born, and after that, he was busy with state affairs and did not pay too much attention to his son. As soon as Du Rui was born, the news that the Handan rebellion was put down came.
As a result, Yingzong favored Du Rui in every way.
Beacon Liancheng knows that even if Mrs. Shu is low and small, if it continues to develop like this, Du Rui will not be smart and clever, as long as she is the same as ordinary people, it will be impossible for Queen Guo to endure it.
At this time, Du Rui was a fool.
Yingzong's favor is naturally gone, and he is even disgusted, but Du Rui is no longer a threat to Queen Guo, nor is it a threat to other people in the palace, they all know that this little guy has lost the opportunity to enter the game.
In order to get rid of the threat, it seems quite logical to play crazy and sell stupid.
However, at that time, Du Rui was only about two or three years old, at such an age, he could disguise himself so well, this is not a genius, this is a demon, anyway, Beacon City didn't believe that he was disguised at that time.
After all, he also often saw Du Rui in the palace.
At that time, Du Rui and Mrs. Shu lived in a small courtyard not far from Danfeng Palace, and Mrs. Shu had to come to Danfeng Hall every day to ask for peace, serve Empress Guo, and relieve Empress Guo's boredom.
Possibly, this Du Rui was stimulated that day.
There is a great terror between life and death!
It was violently stimulated, and in this way, there was a change, and that was also a very normal thing, and similar things had been heard a lot by Beacon City.
Even if Du Rui returns to normal, even if he holds a grudge, so what?
The beacon city is not afraid at all.
He squinted his eyes and stared coldly at Du Rui, who was smiling and walking.
At this time, Wei Yue and Mo Chou's hearts were about to jump to their throats, they didn't expect Du Rui to be like this, and they actually laughed out loud in the Danfeng Palace, at this time, both of them knew in their hearts, knowing that Du Rui was no longer what he used to be, and there would be a time when he was extremely sober.
Some female officials looked up at Empress Guo on the couch, and once the queen gave the order, they would come forward.
However, Queen Guo just looked at Du Rui with quite interesting eyes.
The people below did not dare to act rashly.
Du Rui came to the front of the couch and came to the center of the main hall, which was only three or four zhang away from Queen Guo, and closer to the beacon city.
Wei Yue gritted his teeth,
If Du Rui wants to move on, he will definitely pull Du Rui in a hurry and can't care about anything.
At this time, Du Rui stopped.
He raised his head and looked curiously at Empress Guo who was leaning on the couch, as if the dazzling red color was very attractive, so he stared at the bright red neon dress without blinking.
"Queen, Wan Fu Jin'an......"
Wei Yue and Mo Chou had already bent down one hundred and eighty degrees, shouting auspicious words to Empress Guo.
After getting up, Wei Yue whispered.
"Shaojun, please give the queen a ......"
Du Rui turned his head and glanced at Wei Yue.
Wei Yue's palms and feet were numb at the same time, and at that moment, he could barely breathe.
"Wei Yue, you're Wei Yue, right?"
Above, there was the voice of Queen Guo, faintly with the sound of gold and stone, sonorous and powerful.
"Yes, the villain is Wei Yue......"
Wei Yue hurriedly bowed his head.
"Handan-kun is better?"
"Empress Bing, everything is fine with Handan Jun......"
Wei Yue hurriedly answered.
"Really? Why doesn't it look like it? ”
Empress Guo chuckled.
"The queen forgives sins, it is a small inadequate ......"
Wei Yue suddenly fell to the ground and kowtowed vigorously.
On that side, Mo Chou didn't dare to slack off, and also lay on the ground.
"Get up, it's none of your business!"
Queen Guo sighed, her eyes fell on Du Rui, as if she had sensed something, Du Rui's eyes also moved up, looking at Queen Guo, her eyes were as clear as water, and the innocence of a child jumped out.
"This kid's life is really bad......"
A trace of compassion passed across Empress Guo's face.
This compassion diluted the domineering on her face, making her no longer so strong, but a little gentle.
"Shu Niangzi died under the assassin's sword for the sake of the palace, in order not to cause panic, this matter was also suppressed, today, Shu Niangzi happened to be funeral, carried to Wanshou Mountain to be buried...... This palace summoned this kid to come and asked him to give his mother a ride! ”
With that, she raised her hand and teased the corners of her eyes, wiping away the tears that didn't exist.
"Speaking of which, this kid is also lucky, and it's a good thing that he won't be sad!"
She raised her hand and waved.
"Bai Zhi, you take the Thirteenth Highness to the Hanxiang Courtyard and let him see the last ...... of Shu Niangzi"
"Yes!"
The female official who had brought Du Rui and the others into the hall before walked out and bowed in response.
At this moment, the sound of cloud boards came from outside the hall.
Immediately, the sharp voice of a eunuch remembered.
"The emperor drove to ......"
