CHAPTER XXXI
The imperial city was majestic, Xiao Lanwei and Chang Lin rode to the palace gate, turned over and dismounted. A palace guard stepped forward, Chang Lin handed over the waist card to the guard for inspection, and after the guard carefully checked it, he hurriedly saluted Xiao Lanwei, and then turned sideways to let the two of them in.
The news that the little prince entered the palace was like having wings, and quickly flew all over the imperial city. Before the others arrived at the imperial study, Fu Run, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, had already received the news, and came to the emperor's side with a smile on his face and told the emperor the news.
When the Duke of Furun told the emperor about this, he heard the little eunuch outside preaching: "King Xiaoyao wants to see Your Majesty." “
The emperor threw aside the fold in his hand and raised his voice, "Let him in." The curtain of the imperial study was lifted, and Xiao Lanwei stepped in, stepped forward to salute the emperor and said, "Brother courtier, see brother emperor." “
Before Xiao Lanhuan could fully kneel down, the emperor said, "Okay, get up." Xiao Lanwei stood up, raised his head and smiled at the emperor. The emperor sat behind the imperial case, looked Xiao Lanwei up and down, left and right, and then sat down. Xiao Lanwei was a little embarrassed by the emperor, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, I'm fine, I'm still fat!" “
As soon as the emperor heard Xiao Lanzhuo's words, he knew that this little bastard was having fun outside, and if he didn't let people arrest him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see this bastard this year. So he said with a straight face: "You still dare to say it!" Leaving Beijing is just what I told you? It's better for you to go to Hangzhou, where is the danger to drill! I've seen all the excerpts in Hangzhou! You don't want to fool me! “
When Xiao Lanwei heard that the emperor wanted to settle his old accounts in Hangzhou, he hurriedly pretended to be pitiful, and said with a bitter face: "Ouch, brother emperor, I have followed Xiao Li all the way. When I came back, I didn't even change my clothes and came to say hello to you, you are good, and when you come up, you will ask the teacher for sin, and you won't even give a sip of water......"
The emperor laughed angrily at Xiao Lanwei's snatching, and instructed Furun, who was standing aside: "Serve him tea, and serve a pot for him to drink enough." ”
Furun walked down and said happily to Xiao Lanhuan: "Little prince, is it still the same?" ”
Xiao Lanwei smiled and said: "Father-in-law is free, I don't pick it, if I pick it again, someone should ask the guards to drive me out." ”
Furun hurriedly couldn't help laughing and went out to pass tea, and the emperor was amused by Xiao Lanzhuo's scoundrel on the throne, pointed at him, and said, "It's become more and more unruly to go out for a few years." ”
Xiao Lanwei sat on the chair and replied nonchalantly: "Brother Huang, my brother has just come back, and I will go to the imperial sister-in-law and the queen mother later, and I don't know how to be nagged, you can do it, let go of your brother, ah?" ”
"You know you're going to be talked!" The emperor casually flipped through the folds in his hand and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you. Let's use tea first. ”
Furun brought a few little eunuchs into the tea, in addition to the tea, he also picked up Xiao Lanhuan's favorite snacks and put them on two plates, Furun looked at Xiao Lanhuan and said with a smile: "The prince came by chance today, the imperial dining room just sent some mint cakes and mille-feuille cakes, these two with cloud tea are just right, little prince try it." ”
Xiao Lanwei had not stopped since he entered the city, and his mouth was indeed a little dry at this time, and after he had used the refreshments, the emperor asked: "You were in Hangzhou when the Holy Puritanism incident happened, you can tell me about this from beginning to end." ”
The matter of the Holy Puritanism is very important, although the excerpt from Hangzhou is also detailed, but after all, it involves the rebellion of the royal family, and there are some things that they dare not talk about as courtiers and it is not easy to talk about it. The emperor happened to grab Xiao Lanhuan, who had entered the palace, and asked him thoroughly.
Xiao Lanwei carefully talked about the cause and effect, talked about the counterinsurgency, and called Chang Lin in to inquire carefully.
When these things were finished, most of the hour had passed. The tea in front of Xiao Lanhuan was changed three times, and when the emperor finished asking, Xiao Lanhuan collapsed in the chair, looking like "no one should try to make me say more than half a word".
The emperor looked at him and shook his head helplessly, and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't ask, don't do this." Go and say hello to the Queen Mother and your sister-in-law. ”
As soon as Xiao Lanwei heard that the emperor was going to let him go, he jumped up and ran out.
"You slow down, beware of falling......" Before the emperor's words fell, Xiao Lanwei had already run away.
"This bastard boy ......" The emperor was angry and funny, and the father-in-law Furun on the side smiled: "Our little prince is still like a big child." By the way, Your Majesty, why didn't you mention the marriage just now? The Queen Mother has been talking about it several times. ”
"I originally wanted to mention it, but first, this stinky boy begged for a decree from me in his early years, and I can't go back on my word, and second, I ......" The emperor thought about Xiao Lanhuan's appearance when he talked about the granddaughter of the Yu family just now, turned his head, looked at Furun and asked: "You didn't realize it just now, this kid said that Miss Yu Jiabiao's appearance is a little unusual?" ”
Xiao Lanhuan's experience in Hangzhou has a lot to do with the Mu family, Yu Wenyuan has participated in the counterinsurgency, Xiao Lanhuan also promised to recommend Yu Wenyuan to enter the court, this incident is related to each other, no matter what, it can't surpass the Mu family. Therefore, Xiao Lanhuan didn't think about hiding that she had befriended Mu Qingling, and for fear that the emperor would misunderstand, she specially used the unfamiliar title of Miss Yu Jiabiao.
But the emperor is an ordinary person, Xiao Lanhuan can be said to be brought up by him, Xiao Lanhuan may be able to fool the Queen Mother with these tricks, but it is not enough to fool the emperor.
Furun thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I really didn't see this little one...... Your Majesty, what do you mean? ”
The emperor touched his chin and thought about it for a while, and then said: "This kid is hateful, he has become more and more slippery over the years, and even I am a little uncertain. You go to the queen and spread a word, and let the queen find out first. ”
Fu Run hurriedly received the order and went to the Jiaolan Hall to spread the word in person.
In the Jiaolan Palace, Queen Yun was asking the maids to wait for Xiao Lanwei to come over to say hello, but she didn't expect to wait for Furun first. Furun said what the emperor meant, and Queen Yun on the throne smiled playfully, and said to Furun: "You go back, this palace knows what the emperor means." ”
When Furun left, Ning Hua, the big palace maid beside Queen Yun, came in from outside, walked to the queen's side, and asked, "Niangniang, what did Father-in-law Furun mean just now...... Is our little prince interested in someone? ”
Queen Yun closed the book in her hand, thought for a while and said: "There is nothing to do with the eight characters, if you really get the quasi-letter, the emperor will not send a message to let the palace pay attention." ”
Ning Hua said: "It's the same, Niangniang, the girls that the Queen Mother has a crush on...... Do you still tell the little prince? ”
"Let's talk about it when Shengqing comes. Since the emperor has given a message, let's explore the situation first. Queen Yun said, Xiao Lanhuan is almost twenty years old, and she has not moved the idea of getting married until now, and she has traveled outside for a few years, and the Queen Mother is so worried about this that her hair is almost white, and she heard the emperor say that Xiao Lanhuan is coming back a while ago, and the Queen Mother is so happy that she immediately selected several noble daughters from the family, just waiting for Xiao Lanhuan to come back this time, and she has to stuff one for him into the palace.
"What if...... What if the little prince really has a crush on someone? The Queen Mother has a fancy for our girl. What kind of Miss Jingyong Mansion, a character I have never heard of, where can I compare to the Miss of our Mansion? Ning Hua said with some concern.
"It's up to people to make things happen, besides, you don't know Shengqing's temperament, if he himself is not happy, it is useless for the emperor to come." Queen Yun said slowly: "If you can really make a good thing, it will naturally be good for the Yun family." But if it can't be done, the Imperial City is not just a talent. Our girl is still worried about finding a good son-in-law? Let's take it as usual. ”
Empress Yun and Ning Hua were talking, when suddenly Xiao Lanwei's voice came from outside the door: "Imperial sister-in-law! Sheng Qing has come to say hello to the imperial sister-in-law! ”
Queen Yun was pleasantly surprised: "Don't come in yet!" ”
Xiao Lanwei entered the hall, walked in front of the queen, knelt down and saluted: "The imperial sister-in-law is fine, the courtier is back." ”
Queen Yun sat upright, and hurriedly asked people to help Xiao Lanwei up, and said: "Even if you are back, so are you, you really didn't return to Beijing for a few years when you said that you went out to travel." The Queen Mother often talks to the palace about you, but have you seen the Queen Mother? ”
"I've seen it." Xiao Lanwei is much more disciplined here than in front of the emperor in front of Queen Yun - when he was a child, he suffered too much.
"The queen mother saw me crying for a long time, and finally coaxed it, but the younger brother still ran out by saying hello to the imperial sister-in-law." Xiao Lanwei said with affection.
Queen Yun was thinking about not seeing her for a few years, worried that Xiao Lanhuan would be separated from her, but now seeing that Xiao Lanhuan was still in front of her as when she was a child, her heart relaxed a little, pointed at Xiao Lanhuan, and said: "You still dare to say that your parents are not far away, do you know how worried the Queen Mother is when you leave Beijing." It can't be like this again. You know? ”
Xiao Lanwei should be again and again, with his identity, it is already a holy favor to be able to be free and easy for a few years, and it is a precedent, not to mention that the queen mother is not at ease, even the imperial historian in the court will not be able to see it.
Queen Yun picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, and said, "And your marriage." ”
As soon as he said this, Xiao Lanhuan's head suddenly grew big. As soon as he wanted to open his mouth to talk about the will he had asked for from the emperor back then, he was blocked by Queen Yun.
"Don't tell me anything about the Holy Will, the Holy Will can block you for a while, and it can block you for a lifetime? If you don't say anything accurately, let alone the Queen Mother and the Palace, the emperor will not be able to sit still. ”
Xiao Lanwei suddenly withered, his heart was messy, he hadn't figured out a lot of things clearly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he returned to Beijing, the three giants in Beijing repeatedly attacked him.
"I can tell you, the Queen Mother has even prepared a candidate for you. Tall, short, chubby, skinny, you name it. It's all famous ladies in Beijing. If you really don't have someone you like, then I can help you decide with the Queen Mother. Queen Yun said deliberately.
"Don't! I ......" Xiao Lan said hurriedly, and was looked at by Queen Yun, and the thoughts that flashed in her heart disappeared again.
"How?" It was rare for Queen Yun to see Xiao Lanhuan at a loss like this, and looked at him with some amusement and smiled.
"I ...... I ......" Xiao Lanwei's mind was a mess, and she was defenseless against Queen Yun. He grew up in front of the emperor and queen since he was a child, and was taught a lot by Empress Yun. To Queen Yun, he trusts him wholeheartedly.
After all, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and he still has the heart to play tricks on the emperor, but here in Queen Yun, he doesn't have that idea.
"Sister-in-law, you can help me block it...... I, I'll think again. Xiao Lan begged.
When Queen Yun saw Xiao Lanhuan like this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. If Xiao Lan doesn't admit it, or she stiffens up her hard top, she feels normal.
But now...... Xiao Lanwei is like this, is it really tempted? ?
Miss Yu Family's Cousin? Queen Yun was curious. She really wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of characters could make Xiao Lanzhuo open this pimple.
