Chapter 22: The Girl Arrives
Emperor Wanli was lying crookedly on the Luohan couch, holding a scroll of words in his hand. The candle on the desk had burned to the end, and the melted candle liquid caused the wick to tilt, and finally it was extinguished by the candle liquid, and a faint wisp of smoke rose up, and in a moment it dissipated in the empty hall.
Wanli's hand slowly drooped, and the book that he opened gently slipped from between his fingers.
"Your Majesty! Emperor! ”
"Huh?"
Emperor Wanli was woken up by a gentle call, he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and saw Sandezi, the personal eunuch who served him to eat, drink, and live in front of him, standing slightly bent over, and there were two palace ladies behind him, one holding a golden basin, and the other holding towels, soaphorns and other things.
Sandezi said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to prepare to go to court." ”
"Oh!"
Wanli habitually agreed, sat up with high spirits, and just moved to the edge of the couch, he suddenly remembered something. He looked left and right in surprise, and his spirit that had not fully recovered made him look a little stunned: "I ...... Slept here last night? ”
Sandezi laughed and said, "Yes! The slave wanted the emperor to go back to sleep in the palace, but the emperor refused. ”
Emperor Wanli came to his senses completely, frowned, and said, "What about Xiaobai?" ”
Sandezi said with a little jealousy: "Xiaobai...... Didn't you send out to the palace by the emperor? ”
Emperor Wanli glared at Sandezi: "He hasn't come back?" ”
Sandezi snorted: "No! ”
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a long time, and Sandezi reminded: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials have arrived at the noon gate, you can't delay any longer." ”
"Oh! Oooh! ”
Emperor Wanli came to his senses and said in annoyance: "Change your clothes and clean your face!" ”
"Yes!"
Sandezi hurriedly flashed to the side, beckoned gently, and two rows of palace ladies stepped forward, it turned out that there were not only two people standing behind him, but those palace ladies were about the same height, short, fat and thin, and they stood neatly. So at first, I thought there were only two of them.
……
Xu Boyi escorted Xia Yingying's carriage and hurried to the noon gate, where he saw many officials standing there in twos and threes, bathing in the morning light and chatting. Xu Boyi was taken aback, looked back at the east, but saw that a round of red sun was about to erupt.
Xu Boyi secretly screamed bitterly, but he didn't expect this round of tossing, and it was almost dawn. He was a thief with a weak heart, but he didn't dare to drive until noon, which let the ministers know the details. They didn't dare to do anything to the emperor, but they would definitely force the emperor to kill him, a traitor.
Xu Boyi immediately shouted: "Miss Xia, the hundred officials are about to go to court, let's go through the back door!" ”
Xia Yingying was so anxious, how could she listen to him. This palace is so big, how long will it take to go around the back door of the palace? Xia Yingying was in a hurry, so she didn't hide the sedan curtain, and when she heard this, she stared at her and said, "I was also summoned by the emperor." If they can get in, why can't I? ”
Xia Yingying said to the groom: "Hurry up, just enter from the noon gate!" "The coachman is from the Xia family, so naturally he only listens to Xia Yingying. The big whip "snapped" and exploded an earth-shattering whip flower, speeding up and rushing forward.
It's not that you can't drive before the noon gate, and some of the older adults live far away from the palace. It is inconvenient to sit in a sedan chair, and they also use a car to travel, and they can all drive until noon before the gate and then come down. But even if it was a product in the court, there was no hurry to speed up and not slow down before the noon gate.
There are guards standing guard in front of the noon gate, and there are also soldiers patrolling the large square outside the noon gate, and the carriage is driving fast, although the soldiers of Jin Wuwei are followed by it, and there is a eunuch riding a horse to accompany him, maybe it is a prince, or hurry up to stop it.
The four soldiers raised their big guns, pointed them at the carriage, and shouted: "It is forbidden to gallop horses before the noon gate, please stop ......"
The Xia family's horseman only knew that there was a Xia family, but he didn't know that there was a court, and the four horses that came from Guizhou were also used to rampage.
Qian's donkey, not afraid of tigers, Guy has never seen the power of the king of beasts. The four horses of the Xia family have always been rampant, semi-wild horses-like characters, they don't care if you are the emperor or not, the four soldiers were shocked, if they really lost their manners, they had their own imperial history to impeach, but they really wanted to stab other people's horses, look at these horses are so miraculous, the master must cherish them, offend a prince, but it is not something that a few of their soldiers can afford.
The four soldiers hurriedly dragged their spears and ran, they flashed left and right, and the carriage rumbled past, Xu Boyi saw it on the side, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Stop it! ”
There was such a thing here, and the ministers who were waiting to open the door in front of the palace gate all noticed it and immediately looked over here.
Inspector Li Boxian was overjoyed at first sight, he hadn't impeached anyone this month, and he really didn't find anything to impeach. As an official in charge of finding the princess, he felt that he was very derelict in his duties.
I didn't expect that in the court today, there was a ballast who took the initiative to find him, this has to be sought! Look at this style, the official is not small! Ouch, it's a woman! There is also a eunuch next to her, which princess is this, right? As soon as he thought of this, Li Yushi trembled with excitement: "The opportunity to become famous has finally arrived!" ”
If this book is played in front of the king, suing the princess for disgrace, it will be a brilliant political achievement! If you lose, it's better to be beaten again and distribute the place, then it will be developed! Not only will he be famous all over the world immediately, but it will also become the merit of his life, and it will take less than two years to soar, and in the coming days, with the qualifications of having been beaten by the court staff and touching the imperial family, maybe he can also mix into the high position of the imperial history of the left capital, which is the highest pursuit of the official!
Li Boxian immediately lifted his robe and shouted: "Gallop in front of the palace, bold!" Stop! So saying, an arrow stepped forward, stopped in front of the galloping horse, and held his head high, his eyes as angry as a torch.
The ministers next to him were taken aback, this Li Yushi was standing too far ahead, and now the horseman was too late even if he reined in the horse, he had to hit him with broken bones and tendons, and immediately someone shouted: "Get out of the way, the carriage can't stop!" ”
Xia Yingying was also taken aback when she saw it in the car, and hurriedly ordered: "Stop!" The groom had reined in the reins of the horses before she could give the command, but the four horses were running forward with joy, and now they could not stop.
Li Boxian is not stupid, of course he knows that he will be hit by a horse, and maybe he will be kicked by the thick mouth of the horse's hooves, but what he wants is this effect, without a little injury or blood, how can he be embarrassed to say that he is a clean official?
The official of the Ming Dynasty. In a special cultural atmosphere, there are a bit of strange masochistic tendencies. Others are afraid of getting into trouble when they are officials, and self-preservation is the king's way; But the gossip official is afraid not to cause trouble, and he is not afraid of big things when he is a royal history, but he is afraid that it will be fine!
It was too late, it was fast, seeing that the horse was about to collide with Li Boxian, Li Yushi smiled, closed his eyes gently, and waited for the moment when the clouds were soaring. His chest was even higher: "Fly!" Fly! I'm going to fly higher......"
Li Yushi really flew. A long whip came out of the water like an oolong, wrapped tightly around his waist when the horse's head hit his body, and with a hard pull, his thin hemp rod-like body flew up.
The carriage rushed forward more than two zhang away, and then it was firmly pulled by the handlebar, and Li Yushi was carried up, flew half a turn in the air, and accurately smashed into several palace warriors who were close by, and those warriors were nimble. Hurriedly abandoned the knife and gun and reached out to pick it up, and the four of them reached out in unison, so that Li Yushi, who was flying high, landed safely.
Xia Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest lightly and said, "I'm scared to death." I'm scared to death, this official is sick, and he still takes the initiative to lean forward. ”
As she spoke, Xia Yingying bent down and got out of the car. When the car arrives here, it is impossible to go any further, and she has to get out of the car if she wants to enter the palace. By the way, I have to thank the hero who saved people, otherwise it would have been a real death. No matter how innocent she was, she knew it was going to be a big problem.
Xia Yingying didn't wait for her subordinates to put down the pedals, she jumped off the wheel, and then she saw that the person carrying a long black whip in her hand was actually a woman, she was wearing a fat robe embroidered with blue embroidered gold edges, the robe was collarless and sleeveless, the front was without a hat, the back body was longer on the shoulders, and the placket was embroidered with bright flowers, and decorated with colorful sequins, the luster was shining.
She wore a pair of braids, with a hair cover, a tassel in front and tassels on the side, and was adorned with gold and silver ornaments, which was magnificent and gorgeous. She is very tall, Yingying should be about the same height as her brother Xiaotian, but she looks stronger than Ye Xiaotian, but although she looks strong, this woman does not feel bloated and fat at all.
Her face is round, her face is like a full moon, her lips are thick and sexy, and her forehead is broad and fair, which is completely different from the definition of a beautiful woman by a man in the Central Plains, but no matter how you look at it, you won't think she is ugly, it is a beauty in a completely different sense, and the full and towering chest makes Xia Yingying, who is not flat on her chest, see it and willingly admit defeat, it is really ...... It's so majestic.
"Hahaha......" The tall and toned woman laughed heartily: "Who said that the Central Plains women are soft and weak, this girl is much more bold than our Mongolian women's family." ”
Xia Yingying was very curious about the appearance of such a woman in front of the palace gate, but she didn't have time to talk at this time, so she only thanked the woman: "Thank you sister for your help, please ask my sister's name!" ”
The Mongolian woman was slightly stunned and said, "Sister? Sister? Haha, good! Good! My sister's name is not easy to remember, you heard people say that the third lady, that is the sister. ”
Xia Yingying is a person from the southwest border, if she hadn't heard her talk about herself, she wouldn't have known that she was dressed like a Mongolian, and of course she hadn't heard of the famous Three Ladies, Xia Yingying just smiled and said: "Three Ladies, this name is easy to remember, and the little sister has written it down." My little sister is still in a hurry, so I will thank my sister when I turn around! ”
After that, Xia Yingying lifted her skirt and ran in the direction of the palace gate, shouting as she ran: "I have an emergency, I have an emergency, uncles and uncles, please let go!" ”
"Yo! This girl is beautiful......"
Yingying's beauty made the eyes of the officials in front of the palace shine, and listening to her uncle screaming, she couldn't help but have a kind of elder-like consciousness while laughing.
These civil officials were originally the most difficult group to deal with, but in front of a beautiful woman of Yingying's magnitude, they also became reasonable, and all the scholars and waiters gave way one after another, allowing her to rush to the noon gate smoothly.
In the palace, Emperor Wanli washed and dressed up, took the step, was carried out of the Qianqing Gate by people, and was rushing to the Taihe Palace, with a stinky face, as if the Manchu Dynasty civil and military had owed him money.
