Chapter 671: Breakfast Shared
Yang Ling told the truth: "Listen to Mu Nanyun's meaning, I handed it over to Kyoto Prefecture, and I don't know what step I have reached." ”
"When you first arrived in the capital, you encountered so many things, you should be careful in everything." The prince kindly asked.
It is true that his kindness may not be that he sincerely hopes that Yang Ling is good, all he hopes is that Yang Ling will not cause him trouble.
Yang Ling politely replied, "Thank you for your concern", the prince walked out of the mansion in one step, and the prince took a few horses out, and the prince explained to Yang Ling: "It's a little late today, I'm afraid it's a little late, so it's better to ride a horse faster." ”
In fact, the sky was just slightly bright, the cool morning light was still a little gray, the sky was also grayish, and the surrounding houses were shrouded in fog white, hazy, and could not be seen clearly. The crown prince and his attendant Li Yun stepped on the horse stool, while Yang Ling and Ah Er did not have the habit of stepping on the horse stool, turned over, jumped on the horse's back, and the four of them galloped in the streets and alleys of the morning light, running towards the palace.
Today is the first day of the new year, coinciding with the big court meeting on the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, and officials above the fourth grade in the capital are not allowed to be absent if they have no major events to take leave.
Yang Ling knew this rule, so when the emperor asked him to go to the palace early today last night, he thought that the emperor wanted him to follow the court.
He couldn't think of what the specific emperor would arrange.
The emperor's mind is unpredictable when he is young, and he often does some nonsensical things when he is old, in fact, the most difficult person is this kind of person, do you know what he can do in the next moment?
But no matter what kind of ideas the emperor holds, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, he is ready.
It took a quarter of an hour to get to the palace, a few people dismounted, and hurriedly went to the Golden Palace, the prince arranged Yang Ling in the side hall, and was in a hurry to order it, and took care of Yang Ling when he left, and waited here, he would let people report to the emperor.
There were a few little eunuchs and little palace maids waiting in the side hall, and after Yang Ling sat down, the little palace maids rushed up to pour tea and water.
The princes in the palace are all good-looking, after all, their mothers are all beauties selected from everywhere, but none of the princes looks like the son in front of him, and he is stunning, not inferior to the five princesses in the world.
Such a beautiful person, even if you look at it more, it is good.
The little palace maids walked in front of them, but they trembled and didn't dare to get too close, they only dared to look at him out of the corner of their eyes.
A bright-looking little palace maid, who was bolder, grabbed the first place, brought the tea to Yang Ling, and handed it to Yang Ling, "Son, please drink tea." ”
Yang Ling sat upright, his slender fingers with distinct bones knocked rhythmically on the table, but he didn't take the tea, Ah Er stepped forward to take it, and said, "Thank you, girl." ”
The little palace maid was slightly disappointed, but she still didn't give up, "The son came early, so he must not have breakfast, right?" In the palace, when the court meeting, I will prepare some snacks for the adults to cushion my stomach, so let's go and bring some to the son, okay? ”
Ah Er took the glass of water and put it on the table, his stomach grunted in cooperation, Yang Ling raised his eyes to look at him, "What, hungry?" ”
Ah Er was so embarrassed that his face turned red, "Yes...... It's kind of a bit. ”
Yang Ling was very understanding: "Then it's troublesome girl." ”
The little palace maid felt aggrieved, but she thought that it would be difficult to ensure that the son would not eat a bite if she took it, which was also a good opportunity to get close to the son, so she hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the slave will come soon." ”
Turned around and went happily.
After a while, he brought a few delicate pastries, put his hands on the table, and gave a salute: "Son, please use it." ”
Yang Ling glanced at Ah Er, "Aren't you hungry?" Eat it. ”
The little palace maid smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Childe, you can also use some, the pastries in the palace are delicious." ”
Ah Er also said: "Yes, Lord, I didn't eat last night, let's eat a few bites to pad my stomach." ”
Yang Ling's expression was indifferent: "No matter how delicious the pastries are, they can't compare to Madame's craftsmanship, I don't want to eat them, you can eat them." ”
Ah Er: "Mrs. ......'s craftsmanship, are you sure you can eat it?" It is said that the lady made a fish that did not scrape the scales and did not open the belly, and it is said that you ate it all. So it seems that it may be ...... What is the taste of the Lord?
But later, after the lord had recovered his body, the lady once sat on such a fish again, but the lord disliked it, and the lady never cooked again.
I don't know if the Lord now regrets his impulsive actions at that time.
Ah Er thought about it, took the pastry in his hand, and stood behind Yang Ling.
Yang Ling handed him all the plates, "Eat more, prepare your physical strength, and I don't know where to land for lunch." ”
"Spicy, spicy?" Ah Er's mouth was stuffed with pastries, and he couldn't speak clearly.
"Me?" The corners of Yang Ling's mouth twitched, "Isn't this someone inviting me?" ”
Ah Er looked out in the direction of Yang Ling's gaze, and saw an old eunuch in a eunuch uniform coming in at the door, his hair was already white, but it was not like other eunuchs with a stiff back, the eunuch came in and bowed: "The old slave came to invite Yang Gongzi to have breakfast in the Helu Hall on the order of the emperor, Yang Gongzi, please." ”
Ah Er ate a mouthful of lily cake and looked at Yang Ling with blazing eyes.
I expected breakfast for a long time, so I didn't eat pastries, right? Tut......
A group of little palace maids expected that the identity of this beautiful young man must not be simple, no, it turned out to be the eunuch Xia Guangxia, the steward eunuch next to the emperor, who was the chief steward of the palace with Feng Bao, one left and one right! The two great eunuchs on the left and right also have their own official titles, Feng Bao's title is the left permanent attendant, and Xia Guang's title is the right permanent attendant.
However, what is unreasonable is that he is about to leave after just a few glances at him, isn't it heartbreaking? So, the little palace maids who knelt on the ground to salute Gonggong Xia all stretched their faces.
Yang Ling got up, dusted off his clothes, and said to Ah Er: "You just wait here, you don't have to go with me." ”
Ah Er was not at ease, put down the plate, patted the dregs on his hands, and said, "Lord, how can there be no one around you to serve?" I follow you. ”
"It doesn't matter. Here are the people who wait. You're here to fill your belly, and when I need you back, I'll have someone call you. ”
Ah Er is still not at ease, all the immortals in this palace, who knows if there will be a situation like last night?
But the things that Yang Ling decided were not easy to change, and Ah Er had to follow although he was worried. Yang Ling nodded to the white-haired eunuch Xia Guang: "Trouble your father-in-law to lead the way." ”
Father-in-law Xia Guang bowed slightly and said, "Please come with the old slave." ”
Helu Hall is a small palace very close to the Golden Palace, the emperor needs to go to the Golden Palace early before each great court meeting, and generally stays in Helu Palace, and breakfast will be used together with Helu Palace.
On duty today is Father-in-law Xia Guang, Feng Bao Muxiu, who is not serving in Helu Palace. This Father-in-law Xia is an unsmiling person, and he didn't say a word to Yang Ling along the way, until he entered the Helu Palace, and then he spoke: "Your Majesty, Yang Gongzi has arrived." ”
There were a few delicate breakfasts on the table in the center of the hall, and Emperor Lu Jian was sitting at the table, his face was still a little pale, but his spirit was much better than last night. Sitting like this, he looked much burder than he had seen last night.
Yang Ling made a half-kneeling salute, "Knock to see Your Majesty." ”
"Get up, get up, come to me." The emperor showed a smiling face, and he looked like a kind old man.
Yang Ling got up and walked slowly in front of him, he pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down, accompany me to breakfast." ”
Father-in-law Xia Guang pulled out a chair for Yang Ling, Yang Ling thanked him, sat down, and did not rush to eat with dishes and chopsticks, "I made it clear to Your Majesty last night that I am not your prince who lives among the people, I am just an ordinary person in Nanping, a border land." Your Majesty, don't waste your feelings and time on me. ”
The emperor said, "I know. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Yang Ling's almost flawless face, "But your face is too much like my queen." You should be pitiful and pitiful, and let me feel the time when she is still there, can't you? ”
Yang Ling said lightly: "There are three thousand beauties in the emperor's harem, and the heirs are not few, what kind of family affection do you want?" Why trap yourself in the illusion of the past? ”
If he was just an ordinary person, would he be so calm in this strict palace? When he threw the red hydrangea to him, he did not accept it happily but decisively rejected it, does this seem like an ordinary person?
The emperor did not believe his words at all.
But as Feng Bao said, it may not be a good time to recognize each other at this time.
He's been feeling better lately, and he thinks he can wait.
"Maybe it's old. I always think of some people and things buried deep in my heart. Yang Ling, you hurry up and have breakfast, and go to the Golden Palace with me in a while. The emperor changed the topic and no longer discussed the topic of disagreement with Yang Ling.
Yang Ling didn't come to raise the bar with him, he wanted to avenge his mother's revenge, and he couldn't say that the emperor himself could overturn what he had done in three or two sentences, since the emperor didn't want to talk about it, he didn't argue with him anymore, picked up the spoon, and silently drank the porridge in the bowl in front of him.
The emperor looked at him from time to time, among his many children, except for Xiaoxiao, there was really no one who could compare to his temperament, but it was a pity that Xiaoxiao was a girl, or a girl born in the Rong family, otherwise, he would not have to do everything possible to bring this child back to Beijing.
Thinking of killing the Queen Wang's family at the beginning, he was a little stunned at this time, if he could treat the Rong family like the Wang family later, wouldn't he have to be in such a passive situation now?
He ate two mouthfuls of porridge and put the bowl down again, "I heard that you were attacked last night, how are you, are you hurt?" ”
"Not hurt." Yang Ling responded lightly.
"You look too much like my deceased queen, even if you deny that you are her child, but people outside will not believe it, this capital, the undercurrent is turbulent, staring at this seat under my buttocks, I don't know how many people there are, they are bound to target you, in the future, I am afraid that there are not a few such situations, I will help you guard against it, but you yourself, you have to be careful."
