Chapter 230: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Three days went by in a flash.
Early in the morning, Qin Xiang got up, changed his makeup, and changed his decent clothes.
Han Yunxiao was still admiring it on the sidelines, but when she saw her posture of going out, she couldn't help but wonder: "Are you going to the old craftsman again?" "Didn't you go there yesterday?
Qin Xiang glanced at him with disgust and said, "The people from the official mansion are coming over today, I have to take care of it, but I can't be looked down upon." ”
When these words fell, Han Yunxiao directly lifted the quilt and got off the bed, hugged her shoulders, and comforted: "With me, I won't let people bully you." The matter of oil refining has to be considered in the long run. ”
Qin Xiang patted the back of his hand soothingly, and said with a smile: "There are always people who can figure out the recipe for oil refining, and it is not a way to stick to it." Rather than being stolen one day, it is better to dedicate it to the imperial court. What's more, with you, I definitely won't let people bully me. ”
Han Yunxiao saw her sweet smile, and his frowning brows slowed down, "Just listen to you." Someone will come over later, and let's see what the situation is. ”
After breakfast, Li Yunqi came with a group of people. As soon as I entered the inn, I saw the couple sitting in the lobby, and I couldn't help but show a surprised look.
Looking at the appearance of the owner that day, it was clear that he did not intend to hand over the oil refining recipe. Wait here early today, there won't be a tough battle waiting for him, right?
Li Yunqi touched his cheeks and regretted it a little. He should not have come to this drudgery, and it was said that it had become a great benefit. But he sees that whoever replaces is better than being beaten, and whoever loves this benefit wants to go.
When he saw Qin Xiang, he couldn't help but smile: "Three days have passed, Mrs. Han will come with us." ”
Qin Xiang was a little surprised, this attitude was much better than before.
The so-called stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Qin Xiang also handed over a smile: "I have already thought it through, so I will enter the palace with the adult." It's just that this is a long way to go, and I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for me as a little woman, so I ask my lord to allow me to follow him. ”
"Don't toast you woman......"
"Shut up!" Li Yunqi scolded his subordinates, and hurriedly said: "We have a will today and sincerely invite Mrs. Han into the palace, and we are definitely not the kind of villains who force others. ”
Qin Xiang was not worried at all, she was the only one who didn't know how to deal with this group of big men before. Now that Han Yunxiao is also by her side, she still has nothing to worry about.
After packing up, the group got into the carriage.
Seeing the city gate gradually moving away, Qin Xiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Han Yunxiao hurriedly grabbed her shoulders and comforted, "I'll be back." ”
The liveliness of the capital is far from being comparable to that of a small county town. However, it is still a step short of the excitement that Qin Xiang saw in the costume drama. Even the Imperial City is not as majestic as imagined, but the guards guarding the gate are majestic.
Looking at the food sold on the street, I also felt fresh, and I couldn't help but lift the curtain and look at it secretly.
Han Yunxiao only felt that Qin Xiang was cute and tight now, and he looked like a girl who had not left the pavilion at all, and he couldn't help but think about the child, should he wait any longer? The two little ones in the family are still studying, and if the lady is really pregnant, she can't spare her hands to take care of her. It's better to wait for them to be older and have a younger sibling.
Qin Xiang didn't know that Han Yunxiao was thinking so far, he was tugging at his sleeve, pointing with a little excitement.
This appearance really looks like a dirt bun returning to the city, and it also attracted the attention of several passers-by.
Qin Xiang didn't care at all, she just hadn't entered the city. If you ask friends in the 21st century, how many of them have been to real antiquity and have the opportunity to see ancient capitals.
"That section of the wall was destroyed during the war, and now you can see that it was built and raised later."
When Qin Xiang heard Han Yunxiao say this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Has Xianggong ever been to the capital before?" ”
Han Yunxiao looked at the busy scene and said casually: "When I was out in the early years, I came here once. ”
Qin Xiang just asked casually, and he didn't delve into it.
When he entered the capital, he did not enter the palace directly, but was first arranged in a post house.
In terms of size, it is not much bigger than an inn, but it is better to be clean and tidy.
The guest room is arranged very properly, and even the little two who run the hall seem to know kung fu.
Qin Xiang whispered what he observed to Han Yunxiao, and got his approval.
"The inn often entertained officials and envoys from other countries. This inn is the smallest in the capital, and the largest one is on Suzaku Street. ”
When Qin Xiang heard this, he knew that the post house was equivalent to the state guesthouse of later generations.
"Han Dongjia and Mrs. Han are resting here for the time being, and someone will come over later to teach the etiquette of entering the palace."
Li Yunqi arranged everything properly, and the person disappeared. It didn't take long to wait for a middle-aged man with a white face and beard.
Qin Xiang glanced at it and understood.
"The surname of the miscellaneous family is Wang, and it is enough to call the prince and the prince."
The prince is feminine in appearance, but he is neat and cheerful in his work. The etiquette taught was fast and simple, and after Qin Xiang did it a few times, he was praised by the prince.
"There are many rules in the palace, and the miscellaneous family has explained the need to pay attention to Mrs. Han, so don't dare to be sloppy when the time comes." As he spoke, he glanced at Han Yunxiao again, and got a warning glance from the other party.
Qin Xiang was still trying to remember those ceremonial movements, so he didn't notice the eyes of the prince.
Thinking that he would see the emperor tomorrow, Qin Xiang was still a little excited in his heart.
In this hierarchical feudal society, imperial power represents everything, otherwise it would not be used to describe it. After all, the emperor is also called: the Son of Heaven.
However, as a modern person, Qin Xiang was not afraid of imperial power, but excited about meeting a national leader.
The excitement caused her to not sleep well all night, and she was almost suppressed by Han Yunxiao. She is going to enter the palace tomorrow, and she doesn't have the heart to play with him. Besides, it's not at home, it's still in a post house. When Xiao Er came in to clean up, she saw that the bed was a mess, and she still wanted to be a person.
However, being troubled by Han Yunxiao like this, Qin Xiang didn't toss anymore, and soon fell asleep.
Early the next morning, before dawn, he was called out.
In addition to grooming and dressing, there are also people who explain the precautions for entering the palace.
"Mrs. Han is here first."
The prince threw the man away and left.
Qin Xiang became nervous at this moment, because the emperor only asked to see her alone, and Han Yunxiao couldn't enter the palace. The emperor was in the early court, and he didn't know why he called her so early.
Even if there was hot tea and snacks on the table, Qin Xiang was not embarrassed to eat it. I'm afraid that after drinking too much water later, I will have to go to the toilet again.
Seeing that the sky was dawning, her buttocks were numb, and the princess finally came back.
"Mrs. Han will go with the miscellaneous family."
Before coming, Qin Xiang had already imagined many times what kind of person he would be. However, after seeing it, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
Unlike the depiction in film and television dramas, the emperor is a kind-looking and somewhat rich little old man. If it weren't for the dragon robe, it would look no different from ordinary elders.
"The daughter of the people greets Your Majesty."
The Emperor raised his hand and flattened her.
"You're the strange woman who developed the method of refining oil?"
Qin Xiang hurriedly said: "The strange woman doesn't dare to be, it's just some life experience, and after some exploration and practice, she has succeeded." ”
"You woman is modest."
Qin Xiang hurriedly made a gesture of shame.
The Emperor asked, "Have you ever read?" ”
"In the past, I studied with the master in the village for a few days, and I didn't know much about reading."
The emperor asked some more questions about oil refining, and Qin Xiang answered truthfully. She is neither humble nor arrogant, she speaks wittily, and when she talks about it, she will mention interesting folk stories by the way, which makes the emperor laugh.
The prince who was guarding the door was also slightly surprised when he heard this laughter. Your Majesty hasn't laughed like this for a long time, it seems that this Mrs. Han is capable.
"Qin Clan, you have entered the method of refining oil and set up a big attack, and I will make you a county lord."
Qin Xiang hurriedly thanked him, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." God knows how much she hated the ancient tradition of kneeling at every turn.
After asking about the oil refining method, the emperor was also tired, and waved his hand to let Qin Xiang retreat.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Qin, congratulations to Mrs. Qin."
The ancients called a woman by her surname, and no one cared about what it was called. Qin Xiang was known as Qin and Mrs. Han, but no one called her Qin Xiang.
But the princess's voice Mrs. Qin is not ordinary, it is an affirmation of Qin Xiang's identity.
"Father-in-law Cheng didn't let the little girl get out of trouble this time." Qin Xiang borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and stuffed a purse into the arms of the prince, "This is the membership card in my store, if my father-in-law has time, you can come and taste it." During this time, the climate was dry, and although my father-in-law took it to use it, I used it well. ”
The prince secretly paddled it, and there was more than just a membership card and hand paste in this purse, and I am afraid that there was also a lot of silver. With a smile on his face, "When the miscellaneous family is free, I will naturally take care of Mrs. Qin's business." It's just that the road is far away, and Mrs. didn't think about opening a shop in the capital? ”
"The little woman is a woman, and she has to discuss it with her husband."
The prince hurriedly changed the topic, "It's better to let the miscellaneous family send the lady out of the palace." ”
Only then did he leave the hall and face a peach-faced palace maid.
"This is the Qin Clan." The palace maid raised her eyebrows, looked Qin Xiang up and down, and said coldly: "Summoned by Niangniang." ”
"Princess?" Qin Xiang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the prince.
"This is from Jin Jieyu's palace, called Caiyun." Wang Gonggong explained while looking at Caiyun. "Mrs. Qin is a noble person invited by His Majesty, so I will be careful later. If you slack off, your father-in-law will ask you when you turn around. ”
When Caiyun heard this, a look of surprise flashed on her face.
She also heard from Niangniang that there was a fox from the people who was invited into the palace by His Majesty, who knew that her hands and eyes were all over the sky, and even the most powerful eunuch around Her Majesty spoke for her.
Busy said: "What did my father-in-law say, Jieyu just heard that Mrs. Qin came from the people, remembered her days in the people, and wanted to talk to Mrs. Qin, but she had no other intentions. ”
Qin Xiang couldn't understand why she got into trouble as soon as she entered the palace, but when she heard the princess say that this lady's surname was Jin, she couldn't help but think of the concubine of the Jin family who entered the palace, as if she had given birth to a prince to the emperor. But if you want to give birth to a prince, why shouldn't you be a Jieyu? Could it be that this gold is not another gold?
