Chapter 12: Morning in the Court

In the past two days, the mess of people and things has filled Huang Xu's brain, making him toss for most of the night, and he didn't fall asleep, and finally felt a little sleepy, but I don't know if the bed is too soft, or this place is not his way, in short, he can't sleep. In this way, he repeated in this state of sleep but not sleep all night, and finally managed to survive until dawn, but he really couldn't sleep again, so he simply got dressed and got up, washed up first, and felt a little hungry, so he found some food in the food storage jar in the room, and gnawed a few bites indiscriminately. Then, thinking that he was going to see the king today, he went out directly and walked straight in the direction of Hong Zhengyan's bedroom, wanting to see if she got up, and made an appointment to go to Jin to see the king together.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Hong Zhengyan's palace, he saw Xiao Qian walking out in a hurry, as if she was still holding something in her hand.

"Xiaoqian, what are you doing, is the princess up?" Huang Xu called from afar.

"Hey, Huang Gongzi, early, our princess is up and is washing, it should be about an hour." Xiao Qian saw that it was Huang Xu, and she also stopped and greeted him.

Wow, an hour, I heard it right, wash your face, comb your hair or something, you should have been busy for half a day, and it will take another hour, doesn't that mean that it takes two or three hours from the beginning of her washing to the completion of washing, no mistake, then this princess is really hard enough, Huang Xu thought about it, and began to sympathize with Hong Zhengyan, Yan'er is really not easy.

"Xiaoqian, your princess is grooming, don't you need you to serve, why are you in such a hurry?" Huang Xu was very curious.

"Childe, I'll go and ask the imperial dining room to prepare breakfast for the princess, no, this is the name of today's breakfast that the princess ordered, I want to quickly ask them to prepare." Xiao Qian raised the note in her hand as she spoke.

"Oh, I see, then don't delay your time, you hurry up and do it." Huang Xu understands very well.

"Then son, you go to find our princess by yourself, I'm leaving." After saying that, he walked away quickly.

What a girl with a true temperament, she shook her head while thinking, and turned around and was about to go to the palace. Suddenly, I saw a girl dressed as a person hurrying over, saw Huang Xu, half-squatted down, put his left and right hands together on his right waist, performed a standard girl etiquette, and then said crisply: "Huang Gongzi, the princess knows that the princess has come, because the princess is grooming, it is inconvenient to see the child, so please go to the reception hall to rest temporarily." Once the princess has finished grooming, she will come to see her son immediately. After speaking, it was a slight blessing again.

There are many etiquettes in this palace, Huang Xu thought again.

"If Childe has nothing else to do, I'll take Childe to the reception hall." The little girl continued.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm tired, please lead the way."

"Childe, please" After speaking, the little girl led the way.

Anyway, Huang Xu let her take a few turns, passed through a few doors, and then arrived at the reception hall that the little girl said, yesterday Huang Xu just stayed in the front hall of Hong Zhengyan's bedroom for a while, because he was in a hurry, and he didn't pay attention to it, how do I know that today I went to this living room to see, and then I knew that the princess palace is really big, almost all the furniture, pillars, doors and windows, are made of rare tree species such as rosewood, nanmu, sandalwood, etc., The pot used for drinking water is made of haode paper sand, touch the armrest of this chair, and look at the feel. Generally speaking, if this is placed now, obediently, it is a lot of expenses, and it is no wonder that the Du Gong Department once said that Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road. It's really extravagant, the more Huang Xu thinks about it, the more emotional.

"Childe, please sit" Just as Huang Xu was looking around and thinking wildly, the little girl pointed to a chair in the guest seat and said to Huang Xu.

"Okay, Xiexie!" Huang Xu sat down and said to the little girl with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, the little girl's face turned red, "Childe, this slave can't stand it, it's a blessing for the slave to do things for the son, the son said thank you, it's to torture the slave" Huang Xu didn't expect a simple xiexie to make this little girl grateful to Dade, and she was excited. Could it be that the people in this place are all used to being abused, and if they are treated a little better, they will be at a loss. Huang Xu shook his head helplessly while thinking. I couldn't help but sigh again. In this way, Mr. Nakayama's theory of the equality of all beings is truly the supreme truth. Thinking of this, Huang Xu thought of home again, I don't know how to do it, Huang Xu found that now as long as he thinks about home, he becomes more and more vulnerable, and the slightest wind and grass will touch the scene. So, Huang Xu hurriedly shook his head and put away this thought.

"Childe, what kind of tea do you want to drink?" The little girl is even more enthusiastic about Huang Xu.

"Whatever." Huang Xu didn't have any special requirements for this, he drank boiled water when he was a soldier and at home.

"Whatever...."The little girl hesitated for a long time before she said softly: "Childe, I'm sorry, there is no such tea in the princess's palace, I will go to report to the princess immediately, and ask the princess to give instructions to go down and prepare for the princess, you can see if you can use something else now." ”

If there is water in the mouth, then Huang Xu will definitely be choked, if there is food in the mouth, then he will definitely be choked to death if he is not careful, this is too good in the world! Thinking about it, Huang Xu couldn't help but laugh a little.

"Childe, did I say something wrong?" Seeing Huang Xu's reaction, the little girl asked timidly, for fear that she would do something wrong and make Huang Xu unhappy, if Huang Xu was unhappy, the princess would definitely not be happy, and if the princess was unhappy, then it would be a big sin to be a slave.

"Alas, don't be afraid, it's not your fault, it's me who is careless, then you can make me a pot of haode dragon well." Huang Xu immediately comforted, for fear that he would be careless and scare her.

The little girl made the tea, Huang Xu didn't dare to say xiexie this time, and then, Huang Xu told her to step down, he was worried that something would happen if something didn't happen, his heart was not good, and he couldn't stand the scare of this day.

Huang Xu waited here, waited, for an hour, for an hour and a half, but he didn't see Hong Zhengyan come out, and a pot of tea gave him a drink. He was so tired of waiting that before he knew it, he fell asleep on the table next to his chair.

I don't know how long it took, it seems that someone is scratching his nose with something, this bed is really too comfortable, why didn't he sleep so comfortably last night, Huang Xu was daydreaming, he dreamed that he had returned to the Republic of China, and he also brought Hong Zhengyan and Hong Ruoyan, it seems that they have become relatives. "Biedong, don't be noisy," Huang Xu said while rubbing his nose. After a while, my ears began to itch again, I couldn't sleep this night, Zuihou was really helpless, so I shook my head hard, turned over, and wanted to get rid of this inexplicable disturbance, who knows, this time, the action was too big, and the whole person almost fell to the ground, making a cold sweat, and the person was awake. Only then did I know where he was in what bed, he was still sitting on a chair in someone's living room, and Hong Zhengyan was sitting on the main seat opposite and looking at him with a smile.

"Yan'er, when did you come, did I fall asleep just now, what time is it now, are we going to see the king immediately." Huang Xu thought that he had made a mistake, and asked several questions in a row.

"Now I know that I am in a hurry, did someone just sleep very soundly? What could be more important than sleeping? Hong Zhengyan teased.

"Yan'er, be serious, I'll tell you about business, besides, I thought you would freshen up quickly, but I didn't expect me to wait for a few hours, don't sleep, what can I do, you still talk about me." Huang Xu is reasonable.

"Brother Huang, it's Yan'er's fault, Yan'er has accompanied Brother Huang here, and Brother Huang doesn't have to be angry with Yan'er, in fact, I have already sent someone to my father to inquire about the news just now, my father is meeting with the ministers of the court, and he may not have met us so soon, so you don't have to worry." Hong Zhengyan saw that Huang Xu was really anxious, so she stopped teasing him and told him what she knew.

"You little girl, you actually fooled your eldest brother, and it was you who scratched my nose and pierced my ears just now, okay, even I dare to tease, see how I clean you up." Huang Xu said, and made a gesture to pinch Hong Zhengyan's nose.

"Big brother spare his life, Yan'er won't dare in the future, can I ask Brother Huang to spare Yan'er this time?" Hong Zhengyan dodged and begged for mercy.

"It's too late to beg for mercy now, hehe" Huang Xu pretended to be fierce.

The two of them hid and chased one after the other, and they got carried away.

"Princess, breakfast is ready, may I ask the princess if she will eat now." It sounded like Xiao Qian's voice, Xiao Qian had been here for a while, and she saw that they were having a good time, so she didn't dare to make a sound, and then she saw that they seemed to be playing a little too much, so she reminded her out loud, because this is the inner palace, you can't be too presumptuous, in case someone has a fast enough mouth, they may find gossip again. Bad effect on the princess.

"Okay, let's go, Brother Huang, let's go, let's go to dinner." Hong Zhengyan said happily, and there were faint beads of sweat overflowing from her head.

"Xiaoya, you said that you are sweating, hurry up and wipe it, be careful of catching a cold." was going to help Hong Zhengyan wipe the sweat off his forehead, but as soon as he thought something was wrong, he took the opportunity to stuff his handkerchief into Hong Zhengyan's hand.

"Big Brother Xiexie!" Hong Zhengyan said with a little disappointment.

"Let's go, let's go eat." Huang Xu opened the topic.

Don't say it, don't worry, I feel really hungry when I say this, you must know that you only ate a little dry dim sum early in the morning, and now it is already close to the back, if it wasn't for playing too hard, he might have been shouting to eat.

A meal starts in a pleasant atmosphere and ends in a pleasant atmosphere, to be honest, Huang Xu feels that he has never eaten such a delicious breakfast, maybe he is really hungry, maybe the things are really delicious, and maybe a good mood brings a good appetite. Anyway, most of today's breakfast was eaten by him. It's strange to say, Hong Zhengyan usually doesn't eat much, but today I don't know if the food is particularly appetizing, or if she is in a good mood, and she also ate an extra piece of dim sum than usual and drank half a bowl of soup.

After the meal, the two returned to the place just now in the big living room, made a pot of tea again, chatted about some poems and songs, and waited patiently for Hong Xiuquan to meet with the minister before calling them. Suddenly, the person who inquired about the news came to report that the Heavenly King had already met with several ministers and was now in the south study.

After listening to the two congregations, they didn't say a word, got up and went straight to the south study.
