Chapter 145: Frankness (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Thinking of this, Huo Yixiao asked: "When is tomorrow?" ”
"It's almost the end of the morning dynasty," Wen Yan finished speaking, seeing Huo Yixiao twisting his eyebrows, he said with a smile, "It's not the first time I've faced a saint, Xiao Ye doesn't need to worry, you don't have to think about skipping class from Xi Yuan Hall to take care of me." ”
Huo Yixiao glanced at Wen Yan.
The previous sentence sounds quite reasonable.
Wen Yan has lived in the palace for many years, and there is no mistake in the etiquette rules.
She rarely went to the former dynasty before, but as Cheng An's companion, she could often see Long Yan at Concubine Hui's place.
It is impossible for Wen Yan to be flustered and scared to deal with it.
But the latter sentence is not right.
Play truant?
How is it possible to skip class.
Admittedly, it's not the same now.
Wen Yan's identity and situation are completely different.
Especially......
Huo Yixiao took a sip of tea.
He told a lot of big truths in front of the emperor.
Although those truths may sound like nonsense to the emperor.
Ahem –
Huo Yixiao cleared his throat.
"Worried about what?" Huo Yixiao said, "If I skip class and go to the imperial study, won't it add fuel to the fire?" ”
Wen Yan rubbed his cheeks and laughed for a while.
"Tomorrow's court meeting, it is said that it will disperse later than usual," Huo Yixiao said, "You are waiting outside the imperial study, but those rules are the same." ”
Wen Yan nodded: "Don't worry. ”
"Nonsense, talk about him left and right," Huo Yixiao's finger pointed at the table, "You have great ability." ”
Wen Yanwaner: "I'll just treat you as if you're praising me." ”
The tea is gone.
Huo Yixiao got up and left.
When the window was opened, he didn't want to give it a warm feast, but quickly turned it out, and immediately closed the window.
The movement is very fast, and there is no mud and water at all, so as not to pour the cold air from outside into the house.
The next day, before dawn, Wen Yan freshened up properly and prepared to enter the palace.
Old Madam Gui attached great importance to this face, and she wanted to explain her words, so she turned around her mouth, but she still swallowed them.
She hadn't spoken to a nobleman for many years, and all she knew was some old antiques.
Wen Yan is not very old, but he is shrewd, and everything will go smoothly when he thinks about it.
Old Madam Gui only looked at Wen Yan's clothes and made sure that there was nothing wrong, so she let her go out.
When the sedan chair arrived outside the palace gate, it was the time when the courtiers hurried to the court.
Although the court meeting will last for a while, it is necessary to take precautions.
I've heard before that at a court meeting, the officials discussed politics and caused the emperor to be dissatisfied, and the emperor directly threw down his sleeves and left, not caring about the kneeling ministers in the Jinluan Palace.
In the last dynasty, there are mostly old men and middle-aged people, and only a few young people, but they are all men, and the appearance of such a girl as Wen Yan is very special.
Even if she is far away, at this end of the palace gate square, [txt fo] still attracts a lot of attention.
Fortunately, most of them only look at it once or twice.
It's too far, and it's limited by the angle, I only know that it's a girl in the boudoir, and I can't see the facial features clearly.
Waiting outside the palace early in the morning, probably after being summoned by a nobleman in the harem.
There were only a few people, and they kept staring at Wen Yan closely.
It was Zhu Sheng who took the lead, he patted Zhu Mao's shoulder, and said, "That girl, I just looked at the side face, and it looks very familiar." ”
Zhu Mao looked over: "I can't recognize that little face." Okay, it's time to enter the palace, don't look at the girl. ”
Zhu Sheng muttered a few words, and seeing that the companion and the attendant couldn't think of it, he left with Zhu Mao.
When he walked outside the Xi Yuan Hall and looked up and saw Huo Yixiao sitting by the window, Zhu Sheng remembered.
It was a warm feast.
Cheng An's previous companion reading.
It is also the name that Shunping Bo mentioned when he sued Huo Yixiao.
How?
Huo Yixiao hooked up with Wen Yan and gave each other privately?
Tut!
Who was Wen Yan summoned to?
Concubine Huo, or Cheng An?
Zhu Sheng sent someone to inquire, and it didn't take long to know the answer, Wen Yan was taken to the imperial study by the chamberlain, and the emperor wanted to see her.
After retiring from the court, Wen Yan saw the emperor striding into the imperial study.
Soon, a chamberlain came to call her and lure her in.
Wen Yan handed over the hand stove to the chamberlain, tidied up the hem of his clothes a little, and went to the palace to say goodbye.
The emperor asked Wen Yan to get up, glanced at her, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Wen Yan's complexion was not very good, and his lips were purple, as if he was frozen.
"You," the emperor recalled, "I remember that you used to accompany Cheng An to have snowball fights, and you could sweat in the winter. ”
Wen Yan lowered his eyes and replied: "Yes in the past, the courtiers were not afraid of the cold, and they were cold in prison the year before last, but now the winter is a little difficult. ”
The emperor pursed his lips.
He didn't expect Wen Yanyan to take the initiative to bring up the case the year before last.
It was so calm, and it was very calm.
"You later returned to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, how are you doing at home?" The emperor asked again.
Wen Yan said: "The courtiers grew up in Beijing since she was a child, and she was not familiar with the relatives of the Hou Mansion, and she was a little estranged and uncomfortable at first, but now she is very harmonious. This is probably a relative, connected by blood. ”
"You have a younger brother," said the emperor, "how is your homework now?" ”
"The younger brother of the courtier's daughter studied at Yuquan Academy and studied under Fang Yu Fang Daru." Wen Yan said.
The emperor squinted, thought for a while, and said: "Fang Yu, Fang Yu's knowledge is very good, and your brother is under his door, so it is not a delay......
One question and one answer, as if it is really the elders talking to the juniors who have not seen each other for a long time, every sentence is homely.
The emperor even asked Wen Yan to sit down, and asked Gonggong Wu to bring her a cup of hot tea to warm up.
It's just a topic, and it will eventually fall on Huo Yixiao.
"I went to Jiangnan a few years ago, and when I came back, I asked him what he felt," the emperor paused and said, "Do you know what he told me?" ”
Wen Yan shook his head: "The courtiers don't know. ”
The emperor snorted and laughed: "He said that he had a crush on a girl and wanted to marry her." ”
Wen Yan's heart fluttered, and he beat faster.
It is obvious that she fell in love with Huo Yixiao, tried every means to express her heart, and seized the opportunity to complain about her love......
Huo Yixiao helped her and asked her to return to Beijing with Wen Zifu, who was transferred, but she didn't respond directly to the emotional matter.
It's just that Wen Yan knows Huo Yixiao's temperament, even if he doesn't say anything, she can see it clearly.
Unexpectedly, she heard such a frank response from the emperor.
Joy is of course joy, but there is a little regret.
After all, who doesn't like to hear good words?
I won't get tired of listening to it 1,100,000 times.
If Huo Yixiao told her herself, she would be happier to hear it.
Wen Yan curled her lips, her eyes full of smiles.
"Actually," Wen Yan said with a smile, "it's the courtier's daughter who has taken a fancy to the fourth prince and wants to marry him." ”
With her words, the smile was bright and the joy was overflowing.
The emperor felt that Wen Yan seemed to have forgotten that she was in the imperial study, forgetting that she was facing the king, and expressed her heart without the slightest reservation.
Such feelings are not unfamiliar to the emperor.
He had seen similar expressions countless times in the script, and he had also seen these emotions in the eyes of the harem concubines.
One said "I want to marry" and the other said "I want to marry".
It's really a joy for both people.
