Chapter 15: Decrees and Invitations
The next morning, the sky was just white, and the street vendors had already begun their day's work with the sound of chickens. And the officials also put on court clothes one after another, and rushed to the morning court non-stop, because they knew that today's events would be written into the pen of Shi Guan.
At the door in front of the Fengtian Palace, the ministers had already been waiting for a long time again, and there were only four people who had not come at the moment, and these four people were also the heaviest.
"When the time comes, everyone will enter the temple!" An extremely subtle voice came, and the minister standing at the door didn't have to guess who said this voice, it must be Zhao Gao Zhao Gonggong.
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked around the Jinluan Palace, almost all the ministers came, but even today, the two real protagonists had not come, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned, but as a monarch, as an emperor, he still had to keep smiling.
After waiting for a while, two half-people came over, and the first person who walked in would definitely be recognized by Li Xiaoran if he was here, because this person was the one who claimed to be the leader of the forbidden army.
And the second person, with an indifferent expression and a grim face, seemed to be a bit like a tiger and wolf, like a general who had not returned to the customs for a long time and guarded the frontier.
"Sons and daughters see their fathers, long live the emperor, long live long live!" The two brothers shouted together, which was not a tacit understanding.
"Okay, today the real hero is here." Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of Ming Cheng finally took a breath, his anger slowly disappeared, and he said slowly and calmly:
"Now that today's protagonist is here, Gonggong Zhao will give them a holy decree!"
Gonggong Zhao bent down and nodded to Xuanyuan Jingcheng, picked up the holy decree in his hand, and waved the dust whisk in his hand, and his tone suddenly became tough and said:
"Fengtian carries the emperor, Zhaori. Since recently, the ministers want me to establish a prince, I feel that it is time to cultivate the prince, so the taste of the prince will be selected among the two of you, and we will conduct a competition to choose who will inherit the throne, and the winner of the competition can live in the East Palace, obtain the title of prince, and get the throne of the prince. ”
The two brothers looked at the holy decree blankly, and did not dare to continue, as if they had been killed by lightning, and their faces were confused.
Gonggong Zhao hurriedly glanced at them at this time, asking them to accept the order quickly, after all, this is above the court, and if they don't accept it, they will even be convicted.
"Sons and daughters!" The two brothers had no choice, because they could only accept the order at this time.
Emperor Xuanyuan Jingcheng of Ming Cheng seemed to relax a little after seeing them receive the order, and said with some indulgence: "This is not just a test for you, this will determine the fate of your future life, what content of the competition has not yet been determined, I will only be determined after discussing it with Prime Minister Shangshu, so do you understand?" ”
After Xuanyuan Jingcheng had just finished speaking, Zhao Gonggong took a sentence as if he had a tacit understanding: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat." ”
All the ministers slowly went back, leaving only the two brothers who were still confused in the Jinluan Palace, looking at each other You look at me, I look at you and you can't say a word.
"Second brother, is this what we are talking about today?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng seemed a little incredulous, and actually wanted me and my second brother to compete for the throne.
"It's okay, just compare the two of us, don't worry too much, I have a party today, let's go first!" Xuanyuan Qinghe reminded the fourth brother very intimately, yes, after he finished speaking, he took a step and strode out of the palace gate.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng stood in place, looking at the second brother who was gradually walking away, he felt that the second brother didn't seem to take the holy decree seriously, such an important thing was not as good as a small banquet, it was really incomprehensible.
Li Xiaoran, who was in Shangshu Mansion, had already woken up, and fell asleep thinking about it yesterday, recalling what happened yesterday, and still felt a little dangerous today.
And Ling'er, who was standing next to him and waiting, seemed to have recovered and might have forgotten what happened yesterday.
Li Xiaoran looked at Ling'er's haggard appearance and felt very distressed, but seeing that he seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, he also felt very happy, because he did not leave a psychological shadow.
"Miss, this morning the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to us and sent us a post, as if to say that we should go to a poetry and song party." Ling'er, immediately take out that post and show it to Li Xiaoran.
But when Li Xiaoran saw this post for the first time, he suddenly felt a crow flying overhead, and there were only six points left.
All of them are decorated with gold paper, even the cover on the outside. My God, this is really high-end atmosphere, but this is definitely a "local tyrant" in modern times, Li Xiaoran thought so in his heart, and the corners of his mouth gradually rose strangely.
"From time to time, come to participate in the poetry and song meeting, and the members of the royal family will also come at that time, and we will discuss the poetry works of the Ming Kingdom together." Li Xiaoran read it out as written.
Li Xiaoran couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect that a large group of sons and young ladies still know how to appreciate poetry works, so I have to go to this meeting." ”
"Okay, miss, I'll arrange the itinerary for you later." Ling'er deserves to be a good maid, although Li Xiaoran never thought of her as a maid in her heart, but treated her like a sister.
"Do you have anything else to eat? I'm hungry! As soon as Li Xiaoran's words were finished, his stomach began to gurgle extremely cooperatively, coupled with Li Xiaoran's extremely cute expression, with this kind of appearance, it is estimated that anyone will be so cute that they will melt.
"No problem, miss, I'll go to the kitchen and have a look!" After Ling'er knew that the young lady wanted to eat, she ran to the kitchen non-stop.
After a while, she came back with a few plates of pastries, although Li Xiaoran didn't know these kinds of pastries, but she picked up the pastries and tasted them, and she could still taste them through the taste.
For example, this orange-yellow, pentagonal-shaped, Li Xiaoran thought it was pumpkin cake, but after eating it, he felt sweet and sour, only to know that it was originally osmanthus cake.
Ling'er looked at Miss's eating appearance, and felt that Miss seemed to be a different person, and the previous Miss had never been so "bold".
And since the amnesia, the young lady's personality has become cheerful, and her behavior has gradually become cute, but there are some words and actions that Ling'er doesn't understand well.
Li Xiaoran seemed to notice when she was eating, Ling'er was looking at her gaze, Li Xiaoran thought that Ling'er also wanted to eat, so she hurriedly pulled her and let her sit beside her.
With a slurred mouth full of food, he said, "Come and eat together, you're welcome!" It's like your home! ”
Ling'er couldn't help it instantly after hearing it, tears and pear blossoms flowed down with rain, and Li Xiaoran seemed to feel that he had done something wrong.
"Miss, I'm fine, this is my home, Miss is my dearest relative!" Ling'er wiped the tears that were flowing, took a deep breath, returned to the same expression as before, and said happily, happy from the heart.
Li Xiaoran also seems to understand something, it turns out that he has a home first, and he wants to have a relative, who doesn't want to? But Li Xiaoran can't cry, if she cries, Ling'er will cry with her, so pretend to be strong!
