Chapter 39: Asking for help

And they know one thing better than the people of Kyoto, that is, they can't offend the eldest lady of the Ji family if they offend anyone.

When the eldest lady of the Ji family was still a little girl, she fell at the palace gate and broke her knee, what does this have to do with the palace gate guards?

But the emperor said that so many people couldn't even protect a little girl, and the blame for this matter fell on the guards who were on duty at the palace gate at that time, and fifty military sticks came down and almost killed them.

One of them had some friendship with the goalkeeper, and after seeing the tragic situation of that colleague at that time, he always remembered this.

It's just that Fengyang County entered the palace so late, and there was no summoning from His Majesty, but it made him a little embarrassed.

Ji Ruhuan looked at the guards who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Calm down, can you let me into the palace now?"

The general guarding the city thought about it in his heart, this Fengyang County Lord was a frequent visitor in the palace, and if he let him in, there would probably be nothing wrong.

With a decision in his heart, with a wave of his big hand, he let his subordinates open the city gate, and hugged his fists diligently, "The county lord, please, but I'm afraid this horse can't be ridden in."

Ji Ruhuan was anxious for a while, but he forgot that he couldn't ride a horse in the palace, turned over and dismounted, and quickly stepped into the palace gate.

When Ji Ruhuan entered the palace gate, the general guarding the city whispered to his subordinates, "Hurry up and inform Father-in-law Shun." ”

Although the palace is large, it is very familiar to Ji Ruhuan, who often enters the palace and has lived in the palace for a period of time in his previous life.

Helplessly, he was wearing the clothes of a son-in-law, and there was no palace maid to lead the way, and he would be stopped and interrogated when he met a patrol guard along the way, but when he asked her identity, no one dared to stop her.

It's really annoying to be stopped all the time, and then she simply grabbed a father-in-law who knew him and took her to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

When he was almost at the Heart Cultivation Palace, He Shun greeted him, and when he saw Ji Ruhuan, he said, "Ouch, my little aunt, why did you dress like this and enter the palace? But what happened?"

Ji Ruhuan didn't beat around the bush, and said directly, "I have something important to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here?"

He Shun replied helplessly, "Don't look at what time this is, Your Majesty has already rested, and he has rested in the Cheng'en Palace." ”

Ji Ruhuan frowned slightly, and said, "Father-in-law, I have something important to do, I must see Your Majesty, please help me pass it on." ”

He Shun said with an embarrassed face, "Miss Ji, not only His Majesty is here in this Cheng'en Palace, how can the servants spread it, if there is anything to talk about tomorrow, there is no hurry for this night." ”

Tomorrow morning, her father will set off for the battlefield, how can she not be in a hurry, Ji Ruhuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the hand of Heshun's father-in-law, and said, "Father-in-law, I really have something important to see Your Majesty, I can't delay it until tomorrow, I'm sorry for you, you must help me pass it on." ”

Seeing that Miss Ji was so anxious, He Shun also hesitated a little, what status this girl had in His Majesty's heart, he knew best.

With an idea in his heart, he replied by the way, "Then the slave will try it, girl, you can go and sit in the heart cultivation hall for a while." ”

He Shun took Ji Ruhuan to the Heart Cultivation Hall to settle down, and then went to the Cheng'en Hall to spread the word to His Majesty.

I didn't want to just arrive at the gate of the Cheng'en Palace, and I saw that His Majesty had already left the palace gate, as if he was planning to leave the Cheng'en Palace.

When the emperor saw Heshun, he frowned and reprimanded, "Dog slave, you are not waiting in the palace, where did you go?" ”

He Shun hurriedly knelt down and confessed, "Your Majesty forgives me, just now the slave heard the people below say that the eldest girl Ji entered the palace at night, and the slave did not dare to disturb His Majesty's rest, so he went to see it first." ”

The emperor was slightly surprised, "Huan'er came to the palace at this time?"

He Shun said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the slave settled people in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and was planning to come over to spread the word to Your Majesty. ”

The emperor replied, "Let's go, go back and have a look." ”

The Palace of Nourishing Heart was next to the Hall of Cheng'en, and it didn't take long for the emperor and his entourage to arrive at the Palace of Nourishing Heart.

Ji Ruhuan was anxiously waiting in the main hall, and when she saw that His Majesty had come so soon, her eyes lit up and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The emperor stepped forward and personally helped Ji Ruhuan to get up, looked at her outfit, frowned slightly, and said, "Why did you enter the palace at this time and dress like this?"

Ji Ruhuan answered honestly, "Ruhuan went to the barracks with my brother to see my father in the evening. ”

The emperor scolded with a smile, "You girl, you are becoming more and more lawless, and you dare to run blindly in the barracks." ”

Although it is a reproach, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor is simply making a joke, and there is no meaning of blame at all.

Ji Ruhuan was anxious about her father's affairs, so she said directly, "Your Majesty, Ruhuan entered the palace today to ask Your Majesty for something." ”

The emperor was curious and asked, "Oh, what's the matter?"

Ji Ruhuan responded, "I beg Your Majesty to replace Ruhuan's father and replace another person to go to the Northern Regions." ”

Hearing Ji Ruhuan's words, the emperor's curious expression gradually became stern, and he reprimanded, "Nonsense, how can this matter be a child's play, saying that if you change people, you will change people? And these things are not something that you should worry about as a boudoir woman, go back, it will be the canonization ceremony of your county lord in two days, prepare well at home, although your father is not on the expedition, I will go over to support you at that time." ”

Ji Ruhuan knelt down again, and looked at the emperor with red eyes and a pleading face, "Your Majesty, Ruhuan begs you, we have so many generals in the Ming Dynasty, you can change it again." ”

This time, the emperor did not help Ji Ruhuan up, but frowned and looked at Ji Ruhuan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Your father is not the first time to go on the expedition, why are you like this this time?"

couldn't tell the truth to the emperor, Ji Ruhuan couldn't answer for a while, and she was anxious, she just wanted to beg Your Majesty not to let her father go on the expedition, and she didn't think of how to ask Your Majesty to agree.

But soon came up with an excuse, "If my father goes out to fight at this time, he will delay Ruhuan's canonization ceremony, Ruhuan will be very sorry, Ruhuan knows that His Majesty has been very painful Ruhuan, Ruhuan begs you, just agree to Ruhuan." ”

The emperor's expression became more and more gloomy, and he reprimanded in a cold voice, "I said that I will go over to support you, how can I not compare to your father?"

Ji Ruhuan's eyes reddened anxiously, "Your Majesty, Ruhuan doesn't mean this, Your Majesty can go to support Ruhuan, of course Ruhuan is happy, but Ruhuan doesn't want to leave regrets, on such an important day, I still hope that my father is also there, Your Majesty, Ruhuan begs you, you will promise Ruhuan this time." ”

The emperor looked at Ji Ruhuan who was kneeling on the ground with a cold face, "Even if I love you, I won't indulge you in such nonsense, and send someone to send her to the Zhenguo Mansion, so that she can stay at home with peace of mind and wait for the county lord's canonization ceremony." ”

The tears that Ji Ruhuan had been holding back finally fell, knelt down and took two steps forward, hugged the emperor's legs, and begged bitterly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you, please don't let my father go to the battlefield, he will be in danger, he can't go, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you." ”

The emperor glared angrily at Ji Ruhuan, who was kneeling on the ground and crying nonsense, wanted to stretch his legs and shake it off, but he couldn't bear it.

There was nowhere to vent the anger in his heart, so he looked at Heshun who was standing aside and wiping a cold sweat.
