Chapter 42: Entering the Palace and Telling Dreams (1)
Regardless of whether her sister is talking nonsense or really predicting the disaster in a few days, she will definitely protect her safety as a brother, Peng Hao knows that she can't help it, but she also knows that there is no reason to retreat in this role, so she has to nod, but she is thinking in her heart that she must make some perfect preparations tomorrow to prevent it.
Peng Mo is not worried, even if the emperor does not believe his words tomorrow and locks himself up in anger, he can't kill himself in these two days, right?
No one in the Great Yong Kingdom dares to treat the General's Mansion easily, even if he is a king, he will only think more than ordinary people!
If he is really locked up, there will be a flood in two days, and the truth of what he said will be known at that time, will the emperor still detain him at that time?
After a conversation, Peng Hao knew that his sister would be exhausted in the palace tomorrow, and told her to rest early, and he also left, he still needs to think about what he knows tonight!
Peng Mo lay on the bed without sleep, looking at the peach wood sword given by the third brother hanging in the corner of the bed.
Zhao Qingying and Wu Xiaorou returned to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, they were so angry that they couldn't get any more, but there was no other way, Zhao Shu was often forced here, but the General's Mansion didn't open the door, and the two of them couldn't shout at the door like shrews, right?
Zhao Qingying angrily threw two cups and shouted: "Mother, their family is too bullying, even if we shut them out a few days ago, but now we have come to the door twice and have been rejected twice, it should be evened out!
Wu Xiaorou was also very angry, and when she heard Zhao Qingying's words, she suddenly remembered that she had done all this, glared at her and scolded: "It's not all your doing, what's the use of being angry now?"
Zhao Qingying choked, and didn't dare to refute it knowing that she was wrong, so she just sat down.
Wu Xiaorou couldn't bear to scold anymore when she looked at it, thinking about the affairs of the General's Mansion in her heart, and suddenly clapped her hands and stood up. "Hey, the girl named Ruyu next to Peng Mo doesn't have a good relationship with you, you ask her to deliver a letter to your aunt quickly. "Now Peng Hao is guarding the door and not opening, my sister doesn't know that she was turned away, and when my sister knows that she is locked out, she will definitely reprimand Peng Hao and invite herself into the house.
Zhao Qingying's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately praised her mother's good strategy, why did she forget about Ruyu? Hurriedly sent someone to the General's Mansion to find Ruyu.
On the second day, Peng Mo got up early and cleaned up and went out of the house by car, which one was the coachman from last time.
The last time he entered the palace and returned to the house, Peng Mo inadvertently asked about the coachman when he was chatting with Peng, and Peng said that the coachman's name was Qi Mu, who had no parents since he was a child, and grew up with a horseman.
This groom and the general's mansion is the relationship between the patrons, often to the general's mansion to send horses, recently the groom is sick, so this Qi Mu came to send the horses, a come and go and the people in the house are familiar, the housekeeper heard that Peng Mo's coachman returned to his hometown, so he recommended this Qi Mu to Peng Hao.
Peng Hao, the person recommended by the housekeeper, naturally wanted to see it, seeing that this Qi Mu was sturdy and looked very honest, he put it beside him and drove the carriage for a few days, feeling that he was still loyal and his driving skills were safe, and the person sent to investigate him also reported that there was nothing wrong with his innocence, so he was relieved to give Peng Mo a car.
Qi Mu! Peng Mo remembered that the guards around Jin Xiuchen were named Qi Xin! It seemed that they were from the same sect! When did Jin Xiuchen do this? It had only been a few dozen days since he returned to Beijing!
Qi Mu looked at Peng Mo's gaze, unflustered, and said respectfully with a slight bow: "Miss, please get into the carriage." ”
Peng Mo retracted his gaze and nodded, stepped on the footstool and got into the carriage. Qi Mu drove the carriage steadily and quickly, and he didn't feel the bumps at all, but such a strong guard was reduced to his own coachman... I don't know what Jin Xiuchen thinks!
Today's rain is more dense than the previous two days, Rao is very well sealed carriage can feel the tide from the outside into the inside, thinking of the scene of waiting to see the emperor, Peng Mo's palms are sweating, and it is false to say that he is not nervous.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Qi Mu jumped out of the carriage and handed over the post to the queen's palace; Chengqian Palace was far away from the palace gate, and it would take a while to wait for the news, Peng Mo took out a book from the small lattice and looked at it; Qi Mu handed over the post and retreated to the carriage to stand still, and about half an hour later, the palace people from Chengqian Palace came.
Qi Mu looked at it and reminded gently, "Miss." ”
Peng Mo heard the sound and lifted the curtain to see a small sedan chair coming over, accompanied by the palace maid of Chengqian Palace.
Putting away the book, Peng Mo stroked his skirt and stepped on the footstool that Qi Mu had put down in advance and got out of the carriage.
The palace maid put away the oil-paper umbrella and stepped forward, and said politely: "Miss Peng Si, please get on the sedan chair." ”
Peng Mo also politely replied, looking at the small sedan chair and hesitating in his heart, under normal circumstances, the palace is not allowed to drive horses, so most of the nobles in the palace are sedan chairs, but only a few noble people can enjoy this treatment.
And if she is a woman from an official family, how can she be treated as a sedan chair when she enters the palace? Even if she is weak, this is too ostentatious, and she will definitely be criticized if she is known.
The palace people are also clever, and when they saw Peng Mo's appearance, they smiled and said: "The rain is quite heavy, the queen mother took pity on the fourth lady's illness and prepared a sedan chair, the fourth lady doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Hearing her say this, if she refuses again, she will be disappointed by the queen's kindness, and she will get into the sedan chair with a smile, and the person who carries the sedan chair will safely lift the sedan chair and walk towards the Chengqian Palace, and the palace people will accompany the side of the sedan chair.
Peng Mo sat in a sedan chair for the first time since he was reborn, and his thoughts went back to his previous life, and he still remembered the feeling of sitting in a sedan chair on the wedding day, joy, shyness, apprehension, happiness, and excitement were rubbed together to synthesize a full love for Jin Rui.
It's just that the love that pours out the heart and lungs gets is the result of the death of the people who are now full of beheadings, which is really ironic.
Jin Rui is unforgivable!
Thinking of this, Peng Mo's originally nervous mood calmed down in an instant, a heart was cold and cold, what fear did people who had died once?
The sedan chair came all the way to the Chengqian Palace, and after getting off the sedan chair, the palace people who followed the line stepped forward to hold up a huge oil-paper umbrella and carefully propped it on Peng Mo's head, lest the rain fall on her.
Peng Mo stepped down from the sedan chair and looked at the umbrella in the hands of the palace people, and said with a soft smile: "Thank you sister for taking care of it." ”
The palace man lowered his head and smiled: "Miss Peng Si is polite, the slave and maid deserve your thanks, let's go in, the mother is waiting." "I am still very useful for Peng Mo's politeness, and I am more and more attentive in serving.
Peng Mo nodded, followed the footsteps of the palace people and walked in, and as soon as he entered the main hall of Chengqian Palace, he heard Jin Roujia's excited voice. "Peng Mo, you're here, I heard that you handed over a post at the palace gate, so I came to the queen mother to wait for you. ”
Peng Mo heard the voice and glanced up, the queen was sitting on the top of the seat, Jin Roujia was sitting beside the queen, and she saw that she was busy standing up excitedly.
Peng Mo smiled on his face, he still had a good impression of Princess Roujia, and knelt down a few steps forward to salute. "The courtiers meet the queen mother, Princess Roujia. ”
Jin Roujia glanced at the queen mother; the queen knew that her daughter liked Peng Mo, so she nodded with a smile; Jin Roujia grinned, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Peng Mo up, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Get up quickly, get up quickly, you are not in good health." "These etiquettes in the palace are cumbersome and annoying.
Peng Mo lowered his head and smiled lightly, stood up with Jin Roujia's hand, and replied softly: "The courtier, Princess Xie Roujia, cares." "Princess Roujia treats herself sincerely, and she will definitely return her sincerity.
"Don't stand, come and sit. The queen patted the soft vacant seat beside her, smiled at the two and called softly, like a mother talking to her child.
Jin Roujia pulled Peng Mo forward, but Peng Mo stopped, looked at the queen and said: "Niangniang's love for her courtiers should not be resigned, but the courtiers where the etiquette is located dare not overstep." "Whether you sit or not, you have to say this.
The queen looked at Peng Mo and smiled kindly. "There are not so many rules here in this palace, you are the same age as Rou Jia, this palace looks like another daughter, don't be restrained, just be as casual as at home. ”
In the past two days, the topic of the four princes and Peng Mo in Kyoto has become increasingly intense, this Peng Mo's identity is destined to be a royal person, and the queen is not wrong to say this.
After all, with Peng Mo's net worth background, the prince she married will inevitably become a great treasure, and after a hundred years of the emperor and herself, Rou Jia herself will be left without a brother to help her, so the queen does not object to Rou Jia's relationship with Peng Mo, which is also the reason for her courtesy to Peng Mo.
Peng Mo hung his head slightly, and when he heard the queen's words, his heart jumped slightly, the queen had something to say, how could he be the same as Rou Jia? How could he compare this place with his family? The monarch and the minister were always different! Could it be that the queen was secretly supporting a certain prince? Thinking of the queen's courtesy to herself, her heart sank slightly, is the queen's kindness to herself just pure love?
The queen said so, and Peng Mo refused again, so he didn't refuse anymore, and sat sideways on the queen's right hand.
"Peng Mo didn't rest well last night?" the queen looked at the dark blue in Peng Mo's eyes, frowned and asked with pity.
Last night, my mind was in a mess, thinking about the answer that Jin Xiuchen wanted, thinking about all the things in my past and present lives, and thinking about the things I was going to enter the palace today, and what happened after the disaster, and I didn't fall asleep for most of the night.
However, this morning, when he saw this, Wuqing Peng Mo smiled, and this time it can be said that he was crooked.
When Peng Mo heard the queen's words, his body trembled slightly, his face turned pale randomly, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes, but he still tried his best to stabilize his posture, and said softly: "Last night... The courtiers had a nightmare last night, and when they woke up, they didn't dare to sleep again, so.... As he spoke, he touched the bottom of his eyes.
The queen looked at Peng Mo's form, frowned, and thought about what dream could make her calm and so frightened? "Oh" and then said softly: "What dream makes you panic so much? Don't be afraid that it's just a dream, dreams are the opposite." Finally, he gently patted Peng Mo's back and comforted softly.
"Peng Mo, what kind of nightmare did you have? Is it a ghost?" As soon as Jin Roujia heard that it was a nightmare, she suddenly came to her senses, she liked to listen to some ghost stories the most, and approached Peng Mo's eyes and asked curiously.
