Chapter 80: Who is the King of the Imperial Court (II)
On the side of the middle hall, Xue and the others could vaguely hear the voice of "" coming from the main hall, but they could hear clearly what was being said, and the sound tortured Xue's heart like an insect bite, making her sit still.
Xue got up and paced back and forth in the hall, and Gonggong Jiang on the side was also a little breathless, looking anxiously at the door of the middle hall.
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard, Xue looked up and saw two figures, and when they approached, Xue saw the faces of the two clearly, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Gonggong Song beside Xun Ting and the Queen Mother.
As a female dependent, Empress Dowager Xun was not suitable to show up in the previous dynasty, so she asked Gonggong Song to come with Yizhi and Xun Ting.
Xun Ting, as the mother of the Queen Mother, although he has resigned, he is still famous, and his arrival will definitely add a chance of victory for Xue.
Xue and Sima Cheng looked at each other, their eyes met, and Sima Cheng also nodded at him, which was a comfort.
It is not easy for the snow to come to this point, but it cannot be ruled out that Xun Ting suddenly changed his mind last night, and I don't know if the snow came too early.
Xun Ting walked over with a smile and said to Xue:
"Let His Highness wait for a long time, the old minister is guilty." After speaking, he was about to kneel down to Xue and ask for punishment, but Xue hurriedly stopped Xun Ting and said:
"Lord Xun, don't laugh at me, you are willing to go to the court with me, I am grateful."
Xun Ting got up and looked around the nave, as if he had revisited the old place, his heart was full of emotion, and when he turned around, he saw that Xue was full of sadness, so he said:
"Your Highness doesn't need to worry, this former dynasty is His Highness's thing, those who are chattering outside, even if they are more than a hundred years old, including me, to put it bluntly, they are all your slaves, if anyone wants to oppose you......" Xun Ting approached, Chao Xue made a movement to wipe his neck, and his eyes showed a fierce gaze.
Seeing this, Sima Cheng glared at Xun Ting unceremoniously, with a warning in his eyes, and Xue's body was shocked, took a step back, and replied with an embarrassed face:
"Thank you...... Xun Daren's teachings. ”
Xun Ting suddenly looked up and laughed, and then looked at Xue again, Xun Ting has been an official for half a lifetime, Xue felt that his eyes seemed to have the ability to penetrate people's hearts, and couldn't help but lower his head, not daring to look directly at him.
Gonggong Song on the side saw that Xun Ting was acting recklessly towards Xue, so he said with some dissatisfaction:
"Back to Your Highness, Lord Xun had dinner with the Queen of Heaven last night, and he ate too much, so he ate his stomach, which caused him to be sleepless for a long time last night, and he was drowsy this morning."
Xun Ting was suddenly taken a copy by the little eunuch next to him, blowing his beard, and glaring at Gonggong Song with slanted eyes. When Xue heard this, she couldn't help laughing and said:
"If Lord Xun is nostalgic for the food in the palace, please come to visit the Queen Mother more in the future."
Xun Ting waved his hand and said: "Let Your Highness smile, the old man has only eaten coarse tea and light rice for so many years, and suddenly those things are just a whim, and if you eat too much of that kind of thing, you will be addicted." A hint of cunning flashed in Xun Ting's eyes, he raised his eyes and glanced at Sima Cheng, and immediately changed his smile to a smile, and said: "Those words just now, please treat Your Highness as an old man's nonsense, don't let go of your heart." ”
Xue Bao smiled kindly, then turned to Gonggong Song and asked:
"Father-in-law Song, bring everything."
"Back to Your Highness, everything is ready." Gonggong Song nodded excitedly.
……
Wang Gu was full of gold, and when the ministers heard this, they nodded one after another.
Seeing the sudden change in the atmosphere, Sima Lie didn't know what kind of medicine Sima Ji and Sima Ji were selling in the gourd, at this moment, he had to take advantage of the situation, glanced at Cao Bairen, and said:
"Then ask Gonggong Cao to invite the Queen Mother."
"No need!"
As soon as Sima Lie's words fell, Xue took Gonggong Jiang, Xun Ting took Gonggong Song, and the four of them walked out from behind the high hall, and the ministers heard the voice of an old man, and then saw Xun Ting's mouth wide in surprise, and when Xue walked out from behind Lord Xun, the faces of the ministers seemed to have lost color, and they were very surprised.
Sima took the lead in walking down from the high hall, stood in front of the ministers, shook his wide sleeves with a "bang", knelt down towards the snow, and shouted loudly:
"Minister, see His Royal Highness Ji!"
When the ministers saw this, you look at me, I look at you, when they hesitated, Zuo Ruhui, who was at the head of the ministers, Zu Di who was standing in front of the palace, and Du Yu, Cui Xun and Wang Gu who were in Shangshutai behind, also knelt down and shouted, "See His Royal Highness Ji." ”
Zheng Li and Lu Zhong obviously haven't come to their senses yet, Zheng Li didn't expect that what he said casually in front of the court today would come true, while Lu Zhong was sincerely afraid, worried that the situation would suddenly change and he would stand on the wrong team.
The two glanced at Sima Lie, only to see that Sima Lie's brows were tightly locked, and he didn't look away, still standing on top of the high hall, staring at the snow like a superior person.
Before Xue could respond to the visit of those courtiers, she had already felt Sima Lie's burning gaze, Xue took a deep breath, turned her head and took the initiative to meet Sima Lie's angry gaze, and responded to him with a firm and fearless look.
Xue is a woman, although her face is more like her mother's concubine, but the heroic spirit between her eyebrows is given by Sima Liao, especially when she looks at Sima Lie at the moment, in Sima Lie's opinion, that appearance is the same as Sima Liao when he was young, and even if Sima Lie is now in a high place, it seems that he can't suppress her spirit.
In Xue's heart, she was actually very afraid of Sima Lie, the little hands that were gathered into fists in her wide sleeves were still trembling, she forced herself to look at him, she forced herself to skim the distracting thoughts in her mind, she thought about her father, her mother, her younger brother, the prince, Sima Cheng, and the words they had said echoed in her mind:
"It's their ...... that should be scared"
"It is natural for His Highness to inherit the throne ......"
"All these things are the stuff of His Highness......"
……
At this moment, Xue seemed to have forgotten who she was, forgot where she was, and she had only one belief
I am the Emperor of Dayu!!
……
Zheng Li and Lu Zhong saw this scene, I don't know if they were conquered by the spirit of the snow, or because Sima Lie did nothing, Lu Zhong's legs were weak, and he knelt down majestically, Zheng Li saw Lu Zhong kneeling, at this moment, he was the only one left among the six monks, and he was not desperate to Sima Lie and Sima He, he just wanted to get benefits from it, so he had to bow down and kowtow.
Li Zhi saw that the six Shang had all bowed their heads to the snow, and he suddenly became the commander of Shangshutai's light pole, and he was annoyed and angry, but the entire court knew that he was Sima Lie's lackey, and Sima Lie did not move at this moment, how could he dare to make a move.
Sima He, on the other hand, was completely stunned, his face was bloodless, his mouth was open and closed, as if he was about to say something. Sima He knew that the peach concubine was peerless back then, and the snow and the peach concubine looked similar, if it weren't for the snow wearing the prince's court clothes, he almost thought that he was borrowing the corpse to return the soul, and he saw the young Tao Luoyang.
