Chapter 44: Chaolu returns to the palace
The surroundings suddenly fell silent, and people looked at us as if they were watching a good show. The golden-faced chef tried to stop me, but it was too late, so he had to carry the food box I packed and stand behind me.
"This girl, have you listened to it, the strange county lord didn't speak." Su Chonghua didn't block his eyelids, and said in my direction: "The strange county lord is the current prince's Royal Highness, and the girl calls the county lord by his name in public, what crime should he be!" ”
"I ......" This wonderful county lord was personally sealed by the prince, and the prince can abolish her once the county lord title, and he can also abolish her the second time. But now I can't show my identity in women's clothes, so this evil breath can only be swallowed in my stomach for the time being. Yes! Heroes don't suffer immediate losses, this prince won't worry about you two strange women and peacock men today, and when I catch the handle, I will kill you two dog men and women.
"Humph!" I gave Lin Muhan a big roll of his eyes, and quickened his pace to walk past her.
"Stop!" Lin Muhan suddenly spoke: "According to my Tianyu law, offending the royal family, being punished for thirty, and being reduced to slavery!" ”
When I was analyzing a few faults in her words, a few people appeared out of nowhere and surrounded me and the golden-faced master. The golden-faced master hurriedly put the food box in his hand on the table aside, and put them all down before the sword was unsheathed.
"Bold! Dare to injure the county lord's guard. Come! Arrest these two traitors to General Ben. Su Chonghua waved his hand, and a group of soldiers suddenly rushed into the outside of Pinxiang Building, frightening the diners who were eating to retreat to the corner.
"Princess Chaolu is here, who dares to be presumptuous!" The golden-faced master shouted, showing a bright token, "Don't kneel down to meet Her Royal Highness the princess!" ”
Whether it was the diners hiding in the corner, or the soldiers who rushed in just now, they were all stunned in place, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do next.
I remember the first time I appeared in front of Mu Yu in women's clothes, she also recognized me as Princess Chaolu, since I look so similar to Princess Chaolu, let's borrow her name first.
In order to highlight the majesty of the princess even more, I held my head high, as if my eyes were empty, and I seemed to be staring at Su Chonghua alone, and said: "General Chonghua, Lin Muhan has no eyes, don't you even know the palace?" ”
Su Chonghua looked at me for a long time, then raised his hand to increase his forehead, bent down and said, "The last general will recognize the princess before he can do it, and ask Her Royal Highness the princess to forgive her sins!" ”
Seeing Su Chonghua say this, everyone knelt on the ground one after another, "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!" ”
I didn't shout flat, I only said to Su Chonghua: "I don't dare to forgive my sin, this palace just wants to ask, when did the second lady from Prime Minister Lin's family become a royal family?" Could it be that Prime Minister Lin's aunt had an affair with an uncle in the palace, and borrowed the territory of the Prime Minister's Mansion to add branches to my royal family? ”
"Mu Han was young and ignorant, he said the wrong thing, and asked Her Royal Highness the princess to be lenient and not to deal with her!" Su Chonghua did not get up without authorization, and still maintained a posture of raising his hands and bending over.
"Humph! Please be lenient with this palace? Could it be that General Chonghua thinks that this palace usually has a small belly and chicken intestines? "I'm! Obviously, it was she Lin Muhan who was arrogant and domineering, relying on the name of the county lord to claim to be a royal family and misbehave, and she wanted to scold me and belittle me as a slave. Now that Su Chonghua said this, just because I am a princess, I can't deal with her?
"The last general will not dare!"
"Don't you dare? Bengong remembered that General Chonghua had just scolded Bengong for being a traitor and wanted to arrest Bengong! Bengong wants to ask, where does General Chonghua want to arrest Bengong? The prison of the criminal department? It's still General Chonghua's private prison! I glanced at the group of soldiers brought by Su Chonghua, "The Son of Heaven led the troops into the city, and General Chonghua was afraid that the security of the capital would not be good and he would be robbed?" Or is there something else going on! ”
"The last general will not dare!"
"There are still things in this world that General Chonghua doesn't dare to do, and this palace has seen it today!" I was about to say a few more heavy words, but I was pulled twice by the gold-faced master. Suddenly it occurred to me that Su Chonghua is still the general of Tianyu Kingdom, even if I offended him as Princess Chaolu, Princess Chaolu is Gu Tianba's only sister, and Princess Chaolu's words largely represent the emperor and prince of Tianyu Kingdom, so even if Princess Chaolu is a woman, I can't do whatever I want with this identity.
"Let's all be flat!" Seeing that Lin Muhan also stood up with everyone, I felt that I was still aggrieved today. He also said: "Since the strange county lord is young and ignorant, it is better to go out less in the future, and this palace also advises General Chonghua to say that since ancient times, there have been many disasters and disasters!" Gentle Township, Hero's Tomb! Please also ask the general to know for himself. ”
Later, I learned that the makeup on Lin Muhan's face is called "goddess makeup", because in the legends of this continent, goddesses are all white as snow, with long eyebrows and sideburns, and delicate red lips. In order to pursue the realm of goddesses, Lin Muhan insisted on painting his face more funny than that of Japanese geisha. But on the contrary, Aunt Fang painted on my face that day was also the popular goddess makeup, but I didn't think it was clear in the bronze mirror, so I didn't look at my own shadow in the mirror at all. But when I look in the mirror, even if it's blurry, I can see that I've been painted with a grimace!
That's why Hu Yanzhuo will be disgusted with the powder on my face that day. When I said that Lin Muhan's face was painted with ghost makeup, the gold-faced master almost held back his internal injuries when he smiled. This makes me often wonder that the golden-faced master usually wears a mask and looks cool, but behind that cold mask, does his elegant face always smile? Is it that every time I get out of trouble, he smiles brightly, and I don't know anything?
I don't know what the purpose of Su Chonghua took the initiative to ask for offending Princess Chaolu in the court in Pinxianglou, but it doesn't matter what he said, the ministers have discussed that Princess Chaolu returned to the palace at this time, and it should be to prepare for the ceremony.
It turned out that Princess Chaolu had a perennial illness, and when she was five or six years old, she was sent to a hidden doctor thousands of miles away for medical treatment. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military and their families only had the honor to pay tribute to Princess Chaolu at the New Year's Palace Banquet, but they were not familiar with it. That's why I'm a fake princess who can easily hide from Su Chonghua and Lin Muhan's eyes.
Princess Asuro is exactly fifteen years old this year, born in early September, if it is reasonable to say that she will come back at this time to prepare and ceremony, but the key is that Princess Aruru did not say that she wanted to come back at all. Even if she sends a letter to the hidden doctor to summon her back to the palace now, not to mention whether the time is too late, if Princess Chaolu's illness is delayed, it will be worth the loss.
But he didn't expect his father to agree, and said that a banquet would be held in the palace that night to celebrate Princess Chaolu's return to the palace, and by the way, Su Chonghua and Lin Muhan would officially apologize to Princess Chaolu. I was so frightened by my father's words that I was in a trance until I retired from the dynasty. even thought that my father guessed that I was showing myself as a woman outside the palace and had a conflict with Lin Muhan, so I pressed her as Princess Chaolu. At the banquet in the evening, my father planned to let me play the role of brother and sister to cope with the past. This will prevent my daughter's affairs from being suspected.
But I'm not an actor, one person plays two roles or live broadcast, how can I be perfect. There is also how to skillfully arrange the appearance order of the two brothers and sisters at the dinner, and how to leave the venue and enter with another identity. But the brother and sister can't appear at the same time from beginning to end, without any interaction, this is a problem that can't be overcome at all, how to hide it so as not to arouse suspicion?
Just when I was absentmindedly following my father out of the Xuanzheng Palace, a beautiful and delicate girl suddenly stood in front of me, "Chaolu has seen my father and the emperor!" ”
"Let's get flat!" The father looked at the girl lovingly, but his mouth was reproaching: "I just returned to the palace yesterday, and I didn't even see my father and brother and went out to run around, this is almost over, how can I still know about trouble all day long like when I was a child?" ”
"Father, you can't blame me for yesterday's incident!" The girl pursed her lips dissatisfiedly, "You don't know how hateful that Lin Muhan is!" She claimed to be a royal family, and she had to rebuke her sons and belittle them as slaves. If it weren't for Jiang Huwei's strong martial arts, his father might not be able to see his sons and daughters now! There is also that Su Chonghua, who brought a lot of soldiers and horses with him, as if he was marching and fighting. He also scolded Erchen for being a traitor! The sons were just angry and taught them a few lessons, how could the father say that the sons were in trouble? ”
"Just a few words for them? Can my precious little princess really be so magnanimous? ”
"If my father doesn't believe it, you can ask Jiang Huwei for an understanding." The girl said, stretching out her hand to greet a guard in armor behind her, "Escort Jiang, you can tell the truth about yesterday in detail in front of your father." ”
"Yes!"
What's going on? Obviously, I was the one who had a conflict with Lin Muhan and Su Chonghua yesterday, how could it be Princess Chaolu, and when did my golden-faced master become Princess Chaolu's Jiang guard? My father said that Princess Chaolu returned to the palace yesterday, why didn't I hear any news?
The gold-faced master started from Su Chonghua and Lin Muhan going downstairs, and until finally Su Chonghua personally sent us into the Nangong Gate and left, everything was clear in front of my father. Princess Chaolu next to her also added oil and vinegar from time to time, showing how Lin Muhan was flying and lawless. How Su Chonghua was tyrannical and domineering, how he was bullied by them*, and he was almost caught, it was so emotional and thrilling.
Even I thought that yesterday's incident had happened to Princess Chaolu and her Jiang guard, and that I was just a bystander standing outside the crowd who happened to see all this.
"Brother Huang!" Princess Chaolu stepped forward and grabbed my arm, "Brother Huang will finish the recital quickly, can you accompany Chaolu Palace?" ”
"I ......" I have already made an appointment with Hu Yanzhuo, and I will accompany Princess Chaolu again, I am afraid that I will be out of skill. I was hesitating how to refuse, but when I saw the girl winking at me, I immediately understood and said loudly: "Okay! For my brother, I will take the royal sister out of the palace today for a good turn. ”
"Brother Xie Huang!" The girl pulled me to cheer and cheered, like a little sister who usually relies on her brother to spoil her.
