Chapter 242: You Can't Live Up to Her
There was a furnace of incense burning in the imperial study.
On the windowsill is a pot of golden hibiscus, which does not bloom in winter, but the green branches are particularly delicately trimmed.
A handsome and beautiful young man, dressed in a dark nine dragon crown robe, the black imperial crown has removed the twelve beads, and is sitting upright behind the bookcase and looking at the map.
Just sitting there, but with an imperial bearing that is not angry and self-assured.
It seems that he should have been born to be the king of this nine-fold palace.
Nanguang came in with confidence, glanced at the embroidered dragon pattern on Xiao Yi's robe, and felt that the dragon pattern was open and clawed, his legs and stomach softened uncontrollably, and his arrogant arrogance was instantly annihilated.
He couldn't help but bow down deeply, and said loudly: "The grass people say hello to the Son of Heaven!" β
His voice had a joyful taste, which made the palace maids waiting in the imperial study couldn't help but bow their heads and snicker.
Xiao Yi's face was expressionless.
If it weren't for Nan Maomao's biological father, he would not have bothered to see him.
He said lightly: "The third uncle came to find me, what did he do?" β
Seeing that he was still willing to call himself "Third Uncle", Nan Guang was immediately even more happy, and hurriedly walked around to him, sat cross-legged next to him, and reached out to touch the embroidery pattern on his dragon robe.
The chief attendant was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly scolded: "In front of the Son of Heaven, you must not be presumptuous!" Stop! β
Xiao Yi raised his hand and signaled that it was okay.
Nan Guang rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Didn't I see you as the Son of Heaven, and I came into the palace to observe and observe...... It's the first time I've entered the Dayong Palace, and the palace is really beautiful, even more spectacular than the palace city in Shengjing! β
Xiao Yi ignored him, only drooped his long eyelashes, and stared at Jiangnan Yutu quietly.
Nanguang took out the oil-paper bag from his wide sleeve, put it on the side of the piled up music, and smiled from ear to ear: "The third uncle is afraid that you will not be used to eating the food in the palace, so he specially bought you the shortbread from the east gate, I used to love to eat that, I think about it, you also love to eat......"
Xiao Yi's eyebrows were cold, and he only raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the oiled paper bag.
Nanguang coughed twice, and tried hopefully: "You are now the Son of Heaven, the most powerful person in the world. You also know how difficult it has been for the third uncle over the years, you see, can you arrange a half-official position for the third uncle in the court? The official who used to be Jiaojiao, Da Situ, right? Do you think the third uncle and I are suitable? β
Xiao Yi slowly raised his head and stared at Nanguang.
His third uncle has a good life, he was born in the Nan family, he has a mother and brother who stand up to the sky, and there are middle-aged and official ladies who are willing to make promises, and there are many heirs under his knees, and there is even an old man.
Fighting cocks and lackeys are idle all day long, and they are rich and noble all their lives.
If Nan Jiaojiao lived half as comfortably as he did......
Xiao Yi's eyes were deep, and the hand holding Yutu quietly tightened.
After a while, he laughed: "The third uncle entered the palace to ask for an official position?" Your youngest daughter is missing, and you still have the heart to ask for an official position? Third uncle, she has been very filial to you all these years, don't make her feel cold. β
His voice was low and nonchalant.
But it is fearful.
The study room is burning with a dragon on the ground, and it is very warm.
The taste of agarwood incense is slightly strong, which makes Nanguang feel inexplicably depressed.
A thin sweat gradually appeared on his back, and he said, "It's just a joke, just kidding...... I entered the palace for, for the sake of ......"
Thinking of something, he suddenly slapped his thigh with relief: "Isn't Jiaojiao's grandmother yet, do you have to ask if I go into the palace to ask, do you have Jiaojiao's whereabouts?" Would you like to marry her in the future?
"Xiao Yi, your grandmother has spoken, our delicate innocence has long been entrusted to you, you can't let her down, at least you have to make her a queen, right? Oh yes, and her younger brother, although Sui An is young, he will also be an uncle in the future, Xiao Yi, you have to help your brother-in-law! β
Xiao Yi retracted his gaze.
But I don't have the heart to study the map anymore.
His third uncle has been like this in his life, it's not that he doesn't love Nan Jiaojiao, it's just that his love for Nan Jiaojiao is always not as fierce as that for other children.
He put away the atlas and reluctantly kept his attitude not too hideous: "If the third uncle has nothing to do, it is better to go back to the house first, I still have important things to discuss with the courtiers here." β
The palace is prosperous, where is Nanguang willing to go.
Before he entered the palace, he deliberately packed a change of clothes, hoping to live in the palace for a few miles.
He blushed his face and said cautiously: "It's rare to come here, so it's a pity to leave...... I heard that the Emperor Taishang also lives in the palace? I am close to the Emperor, and I have to visit him to complete the courtesy, and I specially ordered the little servant to carry two jars of wineββ"
"Third uncle."
Xiao Yi interrupted him coldly.
The momentum of the emperor spread to the entire imperial study in an instant.
Nanguang was frightened, his face was pale, his legs and stomach were very weak, and he quickly stood up and arched his hand: "Since you are not happy, then I better go home and live, and say goodbyeββ"
He didn't look back, and escaped from the imperial study with a puff of smoke.
The little servant was waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him happily: "Master, can we stay in the palace?" β
Nanguang slapped him on the head: "Leave a fart!" β
He shot too hard, the little guy didn't pay attention, the fine soft baggage and wine jar in his hand fell to the ground, the burden spread out, and the middle-aged man's change of clothes and pants was exposed.
The master and servant blushed and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.
The courtiers who were waiting to see the Son of Heaven under the corridor saw it, and couldn't help snickering:
"This is the enchantress's father? It's too cold to be on the table! β
"Just like him, he still wants to be the ruler of the country...... Not to mention what his daughter is, this kind of countryman who is disrespectful in front of the palace is also worthy of entering the palace to sit at the same table as me? β
ββ¦β¦β
There is a lot of talk.
Seeing this, the corners of his forehead were beating wildly.
The master explained the princess's innocence to the civil and military officials, but they didn't believe it, not because the master was deceived by the demon girl and made a cover-up.
Shiku knew that in the past year, Empress Shen had been ruthless and domineering.
Under her power, the family's forbearance and the anger of the cold family have climbed to the top, and now they have finally turned over to call the shots, and they urgently need an object to vent their anger.
They didn't dare to be angry with Queen Shen, so they poured all their anger on the princess's head, scolding the princess for being a demon girl and a red face and a disaster, and repeatedly admonished the master, asking for the princess's head to be sacrificed to the dead crown prince and loyal ministers of the Wen family.
All kinds of remarks make people angry!
Shi bitterly scolded: "If you have anything to say, you might as well go to the new emperor and say, what kind of ability is it to chew the root of your tongue like this?!" β
The family looked at each other a few times, not taking his little guard in the slightest, smiling disapprovingly, and continuing to talk.
Ten bitter and angry.
I understand the superiority of Queen Shen, and without thunder means, I can't suppress this group of families at all!
In the Imperial Study.
Xiao Yi's face was filled with coldness, and he raised his hand to overturn the low case.
There was a loud "bang", and the music, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone fell all over the ground.
The discussion outside the corridor came to an abrupt end.

Have a nice weekend!
