Chapter 57: Hold it high and put it gently
After the emperor had already died, he took the eunuch to Jing'an Palace, which had the meaning of asking the teacher for guilt. Yue Li was still in the bed, she read too late last night, and she wanted to take advantage of the time to lie in bed again. But he said, "Your Majesty has arrived." "Dispel her drowsiness and disappear completely.
Yue Li didn't have time to wash, so she had to put on a robe and come out.
"See Father." Yue Lixin said that this is here, is this here to make a big tart?
The emperor took off his robe and sat down on a chair at the table. "Sulphur Moon, did you leave the palace last night?"
Yue Li looked at his father, didn't he ask knowingly? Ask again. But since the emperor asked, Yue Li could only nod honestly.
"Yes, my daughter did leave the palace yesterday." Yue Li's answer was a little weak.
"What are you doing out of the palace?" The Emperor asked in a calm voice.
Yue Li was really embarrassed to tell her that she hadn't eaten at the banquet last night and was hungry, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only respond in silence.
"Do you know that if you come back a little later, the palace gate will be locked, and you will be living on the streets, where are you going to live? You tell me. The emperor looked at Yue Li's attitude and became angry.
"Father, I know that I am wrong, my daughter will not dare next time." Yue Li leaned up and said coquettishly
"Do you want to have a next time? If it weren't for the fact that you were going to entertain the mission, I would have grounded you!" The emperor's voice rose suddenly, and the blame in his tone was self-evident.
Yue Li stuck out her tongue, still holding the emperor's arm and trying to fool her with coquettishness.
When the emperor saw her like this, he knew that if he didn't make some ruthless moves, Yue Li would not tell the truth: "Are you sure you won't say it?" Okay, then I'll ask Ye Qin about the palace where he left the palace with you. You must know where you're going. ”
"Don't, father." Yue Li heard the emperor's words and hurriedly stopped him. If he asked Ye Qin, he would inevitably be punished for Ye Qin. "Oops, I said. I didn't eat yesterday, and the things at the banquet were not appetizing, and I was very hungry, so Lord Ye took me out of the palace to eat a bowl of wontons, and then I came back. ”
Yue Li chose to tell the truth this time, she didn't want to implicate Ye Qin. But looking at the emperor's expression, it was as if he didn't believe her words.
"True Father, how dare I lie to you? I'm telling the truth. ”
The emperor snorted coldly, "You lied to me and deceived me less?" ”
Yue Li was silent, although Yue Li didn't deceive the old emperor much, but the original body did not do less, so this matter was indeed her fault: she secretly left the palace without saying hello.
"Father, my daughter knows that she is wrong, so don't worry about it, okay?"
This Yue Li is worthy of being the emperor's favorite daughter, two sentences made the emperor's anger disappear by half, looking at his daughter's face that resembles the queen, the emperor no longer has a temper.
"Okay, okay, I really can't help you, I won't do it again next time." The emperor sighed helplessly, this Yue Li has a lover and forgot his father.
"Yes, Father." Yue Li winked at the emperor, indicating that he had listened.
After the emperor left, Yue Li was also ready to get up. I can't sleep anymore, so let's go to Honglu Temple to find Lord Wang in advance.
Yue Li took Panxiang to Honglu Temple, and Lord Wang was already waiting for her inside, and it seemed that she came early.
When he saw Yue Li coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her for yesterday's incident. "Your Highness, don't mind what happened last night, the prince probably just wanted to make a joke."
Yue Li nodded, laughing at herself in her heart, does she dare to mind? If you are not careful, it will be a diplomatic accident, and if something happens, you will not be able to eat and walk around at that time.
"Let's go, sir."
According to her and Lord Wang's arrangement, in addition to meeting the emperor in the court, their task was to lead the delegation to eat and drink, and there was not much pressure. After all, in previous years, Lord Wang's hospitality of the mission was followed by this process.
By the time they arrived at the inn, all the members of the mission had already gotten up and were still sitting there for breakfast.
"Hello, Your Highness Princess." The pompous tone drew Yue Li to look over, and Toshner winked at him, "You missed me too much today, so you came here so early?" "There is a thick middle and second air in those words.
Yue Li smiled politely, "His Royal Highness the Prince may have thought too much, this mission is coming to Beijing, if I, the person in charge, don't I be derelict in my duty?" ”
Toshner's exaggerated expression magnified his disappointment tenfold, "I thought the princess missed me too much, so she came early." ”
Yue Li smiled back hypocritically, and muttered, "What a drama spirit." ”
Toshner didn't hear Yue Li's complaints, and was still eating. When Suikar saw the king and them sitting there, he beckoned them to dine together.
"No, thank you, Priest. I've already had dinner with Lord Wang."
Yue Li glanced at the prince, with some disgust on her face, she didn't want to eat with this man.
It was the first time for Toshner to come to the capital, so Yue Li planned to take her for a good stroll. The priest also agreed, anyway, the prince has nothing to do, so why not look at the customs here?
"This is the Tianxiang Building, the largest restaurant in the entire capital. It is one of the best in the country. Yue Li pointed to Tianxianglou and introduced.
"Oh?" Toshner became interested and looked at the gilded plaque.
"His Royal Highness the Prince wants to taste the food inside, then I will take you there." Yue Li wished that he would choose Tianxianglou and walk less.
"That's for the best."
This has not yet arrived at the restaurant, so there are very few diners, only groups of people sitting at the loose table, and even the usual storyteller is not on the stage, and it is a little deserted after reading it.
Yue Li led them to the private room on the second floor and ordered a pot of fine tea and a few plates of special dishes.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from downstairs: "You disciples! ”
The sound aroused the great interest of the prince, and "funny, funny" the prince clapped and laughed. "Are all the women of your Celestial Empire so strong?"
Yue Li suspected that Toshner was turning around and laughing at them, but on this occasion, he couldn't turn his face.
"You can't generalize, Your Highness." Yue Li patiently explained to everyone. "The women of the Celestial Empire are some heroic and chic, and some are also elegant and feminine. There are so many women in the Central Plains, there will always be something different. ”
Yue Li was also curious, whose lady was this, who was fighting in Tianxiang Building, no, it should be uneven. Not to mention that the woman's martial arts are quite strong, the three heroes and five divided by two beat a group of big men who are five big and three thick.
"You guys, you bully other little girls with a little effort, and the Son of Heaven is still so arrogant, you should be taught a lesson." The girl pointed to a group of gentlemen with blue noses and swollen faces, and said loudly.
Yo, this girl is quite tough to speak, Yue Li likes girls like this.
I saw the man at the head begging for mercy, "I was the wrong girl, please spare us!" ”
"Spare you? That girl you bullied just now? What to do? ”
"Girl, do what you say?" The man wanted to bully the little girl, but he didn't want to run into a stubble.
