Chapter 164: Living Up to the Emperor's Grace
Xuan Jun's eyes stared at Xu Tiantian motionlessly, wanting to see some flaws in her face, but he was disappointed. Although he is an emperor and thoughtful, he can be a human being in two lifetimes, and he is even more cautious.
"The county lord might as well come and hear what he wants. So that I can think, think. ”
Xu Tiantian shook her head, it is really rare to be able to make the emperor owe her a favor, if she accidentally makes a mistake of losing her head in the future, maybe this favor can save her life, she naturally can't waste it like this.
"The little girl hasn't thought about it yet, the emperor might as well wait for the little girl for a few days, if it has a request in the future, I hope the emperor can remember today's promise."
As long as Xuan Jun promised to make her this promise, then she was not worried that Xuan Jun would break his promise, after all, a gentleman's word is difficult for a horse to chase, and even more, he is an emperor, and he has no jokes.
Xuan Jun's palm was lined up on the dragon chair, and then he took a waist card,
"Good! Then I granted your wish. However, there is no basis for words. This is my waist card, there are only three pieces in the whole country, and I will give you one today, and if you use it in the future, you will return it to me. ”
Xu Tiantian didn't expect Xuan Jun to be so refreshing.
Looking at the waist card handed over by Cao Jin, Xu Tiantian picked it up and took a closer look. Holding it in his hand, it looks like it has been some years old, if nothing else, this is probably made of pure gold, and it is also worth some silver taels.
Xuan Ye only said that Xu Tiantian was very smart, after all, there were not many people who could make the emperor owe favors, and Cao Jin gritted his teeth with hatred when he watched from the sidelines.
It's just that a pair of hanging eyes swept around, and then immediately settled down.
Xuan Jun then burst out laughing, in a good mood. It's a pity that Xu Tiantian is not a boy, otherwise he would definitely be a general.
Xuan Jun put down the fold in his hand, stood up, and looked condescendingly at the two people kneeling on the ground.
"Get up, and if it's all right, then step back first."
Xuan Ye stood up from the ground, "Obey." ”
Xu Tiantian staggered to her feet, leaned on the pillar on the side and rubbed her knees, which were already a little red and swollen, she knelt for about half an hour, she was not used to the rules here.
Xuan Ye and Xu Tiantian were just about to leave the palace when the father-in-law beside the emperor rushed over with a whisk, "The Seventh Prince, stay here!" ”
Xuan Ye glanced at Xu Tiantian and patted the back of her hand gently, "If you want to come to the imperial brother to find me, there are some things that you have to wait in the carriage first, and I will come out to find you in a while." ”
Xu Tiantian nodded, after all, this is not as good as in the capital city in the east city.
There was only one person in the hall, Xuan Ye bent down slightly, and saluted, "Emperor."
What is my brother looking for me? ”
Xuan Jun turned around and stopped the Buddha bead in his hand, "I see, you seem to care about that woman very much!" ”
Xuan Ye did not deny it, "Tian Tian is a different woman. ”
"So do you know why I made her the county lord today?"
Xuan Ye nodded, knelt on the ground with his hands clenched into fists and thanked him, "Brother Xie Huang is kind, and the younger brother will definitely live up to expectations." Whether it's Sweet or Eastside! ”
He naturally understood in his heart, Xu Tiantian was a peasant girl, even if Xuan Ye didn't care, if she became a princess one day, this identity would not sound good, but if she was named the county lord, she would have won many women. What's more, Xu Tiantian already has some brains, and she can completely block the mouths of Youyou on her own. And the reason why Xuan Jun did this is just to sell Xuan Ye a favor, Dongcheng is not a good place, if you want him to keep Dongcheng in a down-to-earth manner, you must give him some benefits.
Xuan Ye got into the carriage Xu Tiantian was about to fall asleep, this palace said that it was boring, she came for the first time, for fear of touching the rules of somewhere, and asking for her little life, step by step.
"What did the emperor tell you, why did it take so long?"
Xuan Ye just smiled mysteriously, "It's just some trivial things, there are many things in Dongcheng." Now that the matter in Yaocheng has been settled, we will leave for Dongcheng tomorrow. ”
Xu Tiantian nodded and didn't say anything more. In a blink of an eye, they have been in the capital for more than a month, and in four months, Li Xiaohui's child should be born. She had to go back early and make notes in advance.
"I don't know when Miss will be able to come back after she leaves, can Miss stay a little longer?"
vividly knew that Xuan Ye and Xu Tiantian were going to leave their hearts, and they were reluctant to give up, Xu Tiantian treated them well in the days that Xu Tiantian got along, and never treated them as maids. Xu Tiantian left, Xuanye's fiefdom was in Dongcheng again, so he didn't know when he would be able to drive back to Beijing.
Xu Tiantian's heart was also full of reluctance, she originally wanted to find Xuan Ye and ask Wei Miao Wei Xiao to follow along, but they didn't know that Zhao Xian didn't even bring guards with them when they returned to Dongcheng this time, and it was really inconvenient to bring Wei Wei Xiao again.
"Okay, okay, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed. What's more, even if I leave you, I can still be an errand in this palace, as long as I have time, I will come back often, see that you don't have to be so sad. ”
"When will it be convenient for me to discuss with the prince next time, and let you go to Dongcheng together, how about it?"
Vivid and happy a little, "What Miss said is serious?" ”
Xu Tiantian nodded, "When did I lie to you?" ”
The next morning, the two of them went on the road, walked for a long time, bumpy along the way, Xuan Ye drove the carriage outside, "Tiantian, there is a tavern in front, do you want to rest and eat something?" ”
Xu Tiantian yawned and touched her stomach, when she came out in the morning, she was afraid of bumps on the road and discomfort in her stomach, so she deliberately ate less, and now she is already hungry. "Where are we now?"
Xuanye got out of the car, it was sparsely populated, and he didn't know if he had left the city, so he stopped a passerby, inquired carefully, and went back to the carriage.
"It's going to be out of the customs in half an hour, and this tavern is probably the only tavern within a radius of ten miles."
Xu Tiantian nodded, got out of the car, and stretched his muscles. The shopkeeper led the horse with great discernment, fed the horse grass, and drank water.
The two of them asked for two catties of beef, a pot of wine, and a few soft noodle baked cakes, and rested for a while before going on the road again.
As soon as the weather was cold, the daytime was short, and the two of them walked for a while The carriage was bumpy and bumpy, Xu Tiantian only felt dizzy, and simply got off the carriage and walked two steps.
When it was almost evening, the two of them found a place with a water source to rest, and there was some hay on the side of the road, and after feeding Ma Xuanye, they touched two fish in the river, and hit a rabbit.
The wind was a little cool at night, and I was afraid that Xu Tiantian would be cold, so Xuanye took out the quilt in the car and changed it on her body, and found some firewood to burn in, so she fell asleep with peace of mind.
The two of them stopped and walked along the way, but they also had a unique style.
Xu Tiantian held the fruit when he passed by the small hill in one hand, and asked Xuanye again.
"Xuanye, do you have any places you really want to go?"
Xuan Ye shook his head, not knowing why Xu Tiantian asked like this.
Stop-and-go can be regarded as seeing the scenery along the way, but unfortunately there are not many pedestrians on the road, if they can, they can collect some mountain goods.
Although it was already autumn, but for some reason this place was so dry, Xuan Ye took a sip of water, moistened his lips, and handed the water bag to Xu Tiantian.
"Tiantian, you must be tired all the way, there is an envy pass ahead, and you can rest well after entering the pass."
Xu Tiantian has been outside, wanting to learn to drive with Xuan Ye, and Xuan Ye is careful to teach.
After half a month, the two of them finally saw a city.
Xu Tiantian jumped down from the carriage, and an isolated flag fluttered not far in front of her, which was particularly conspicuous.
The man pulled the carriage to the stable, and the two of them entered the inn, and several men who were eating looked at them as if they were staring at their prey, Xu Tiantian's scalp was a little numb, and the black pressure here was a little weird.
stepped forward, tugged at Xuanye's sleeve, and muttered in a low voice: "Xuanye, otherwise let's go somewhere else to see, I always feel weird here, and the people here have an indescribable feeling." ”
Where is there a store that does not open in the daytime, deliberately making the store so dim, and although these men are eating, they are equipped with knives around their waists.
Xuan Ye had already noticed that this shop seemed to be a little abnormal when he came in, but as soon as he entered the customs, he had already turned around, and he didn't know if it was because it was too remote at the border of the city, or because it was nearby, except for an inn, there was nothing bare around.
"Tiantian, I have already seen it when I came, this is the only inn within a radius of several miles, let's sleep carefully at night."
Xu Tiantian didn't want to say anything, just looking at the buns eaten by those people, she inexplicably remembered the meat buns in "Water Margin".
Xuan Ye paid the money, and the second child in the store took the two people to the side room.
The proprietress saw that Xuan Ye was good-looking, and she also followed into the wing room, with a particularly conspicuous black mole at the corner of her mouth, and a pair of eyes that never left Xuan Ye at all.
"Yo, this son is really good-looking, he should be tired all the way, it's better for the slave family to wait for the son to take a hot bath, if there is anything you want to eat, even if you are told, I will let people prepare."
Xuan Ye frowned, that posture really just sat in Xuan Ye's arms, and he didn't take Xu Tiantian in his eyes at all.
"No need, it's not the first time we've been here, we're familiar with this place, and it's not hard along the way, it's just that we've been tired all the way, and we're going to rest, so you'd better go out first."
