Chapter.08 Entering the palace
"Xuan: The daughter of the prime minister, An Xulone, entered the palace to meet her!"
After Gonggong Wu finished reading it, An Jiyong stood up with An Xulone, and Gonggong Wu said with a smile: "The eldest lady doesn't need to be nervous, the second lady of General Long's family is also here, and the queen mother and His Royal Highness the second prince are extremely friendly." ”
An Xue Lonely glanced at An Jiyong, and stopped talking. An Jiyong ordered to send a plate of gold to the mansion of Duke Wu, "Father-in-law, the lower official still has some things to tell the little girl, and delay it a little." ”
Gonggong Wu accepted the gold, how could it be unreasonable, nodded and went out.
"Don't panic if you really don't like the second prince, come back and tell your father, it's a big deal that your father won't be the prime minister, and your father doesn't want you to enter the palace to suffer the crime of Na Laoshizi." An Ji instructed in a soft voice.
An Xueliao didn't panic, but felt very sorry for his father, "Dad, if you resign from your official position for me, won't it be a loss." ”
An Jiyong sighed, "If you don't agree to this marriage, after the second prince succeeds to the throne, can your father still be this prime minister, it is better for my father to return to his hometown." ”
An Zhiliao still wanted to say something, An Ji patted her on the back, "Let Yun Pei follow, don't run around in the palace, be more disciplined." ”
An Zhiluo agreed, and after bidding farewell to An Jiyong and the eldest lady, he went to the palace in a sedan chair.
When I arrived at the palace, I was led by the queen's mother and walked towards the imperial garden. "Miss An, the queen mother and Qi Guifei have prepared the banquet, you don't have to be nervous, just treat it as if you were at home. Miss Ryuuji has arrived. ”
An Zhiluo replied softly, following in Mama's footsteps.
The pavilion in the center of the Imperial Garden is bustling with activity. There are good fruits and delicacies on the table, all of which are tributes from the Western Regions, and ordinary people have never seen them. Sitting on it was the adoptive mother of the Second Emperor Palace Shaoxun, Queen Ye. Next to it is Concubine Qi Guifei, who favors the sixth palace and assists in the affairs of the six palaces. Concubine Qi has a young sixth prince and an eldest princess who has already been married.
"The people's daughter An Xue is lonely to meet the queen and the concubine." An Xue Lone bowed, and the queen hurriedly asked her to get up and give her a seat.
"Sister An!" Next to her is Miss Ryuji, who is also a very active and lively girl, and looks younger than An Xulone. "Sister An, my name is Long Lixiu, you can call me Sister Long." Long Lixiu smiled and picked a grape and put it in his mouth.
Long Li Xiu is fifteen years old, is the second daughter of Long Zhenlin, the general of Long, and is also the eldest lady in the family.
"Today, the palace recruited Lonely and Lixiu into the palace, first, presumably everyone will not go out easily, and it is also excellent to enter the palace to relieve boredom, and secondly, I want the two girls to see, if they can look at Xun'er, it is not in vain that the palace hopes that Xun'er will be married for so long." The queen spoke.
Qi Guifei should also be reconciled, "The second prince is not young, and it is time to consider marriage, the emperor and the queen mother think about it, and Miss An and Miss Long Er are top-notch, and their appearance and personality are excellent." ”
After the four of them talked to each other for a while, a father-in-law reported that Gong Shaoxun was coming.
"Queen Mother, Qi Niangniang." Gong Shaoxun was dressed in dark civilian clothes and saluted the queen and Concubine Qi. After that, he sat down opposite Ann Lone.
"This king heard that Miss An is on duty at the six gates, I don't know if the rumors are true?" After Gong Shaoxun sat down, he looked straight at An Xuliao, who was chatting with Long Lixiu on the other side.
An Xue was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a few seconds, "Back to Your Highness, it's just that my father can't sit still when he sees me, so I'm just looking for something to do." ”
The queen and Concubine Qi exchanged glances, and Concubine Qi smiled at An Xulone, "Prime Minister An's eldest lady is on duty personally, no wonder the people of the capital are unanimous." ”
"The concubine has won the award, I am just not good at female calligraphy, so I have to do something that I am interested in, otherwise my father will say that I am lazy." An Zhiluo hurriedly stood up and explained.
The queen covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister Qi likes to joke about girls, but she is still as naughty as before." ”
After a few people ate and watched a few plays, the queen and Concubine Qi left under the pretext of leaving An Xueliao and Long Lixiu alone with Gong Shaoxun.
Long Lixiu is extremely smart, she knows where Gong Shaoxun's mind is, and after a few people talk casually, Long Lixiu goes to the lakeside alone to enjoy the flowers and play in the water.
"Miss An, there are excellent lanterns in the palace on the night of the Lantern Festival, I wonder if Miss An can enjoy the lanterns with this king?" Gong Shaoxun stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the cramped An Xulonely gently.
An Xue Lonely remembered what his father told him that he was not allowed to come in and leave the house, but it should be relatively safe in the palace......
"Your Highness, this ......" An Xue hesitated.
"Okay, I'll let my father say it." Gong Shaoxun smiled and instructed the palace maids to serve An Xuliao and Long Lixiu, and left on the pretext of government affairs.
Yun Pei pondered for a while, "Miss, in fact, these two princes are also very good......
An Xue glanced at Yun Pei, "You are really a wall grass, you are too simple." ”
Yun Pei pouted unconvinced: "Who said that, I look at it really, I think the second prince likes Miss." ”
“……”
--------------------------------------------------
As soon as he returned to An Xiang's Mansion, An Jiyong greeted him and anxiously grabbed An Xulone, "How about it, the second prince didn't do anything to you." ”
"Daddy...... His Royal Highness, he asked me to enter the palace to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival......" As soon as An Xue said this, An Jiyong sat down weakly.
After a long time, An Jiyong slowly spoke: "The second prince is determined to marry a lonely child, this is a hint that the emperor will give marriage...... Once the marriage is granted, it cannot be resisted...... Lonely, you go back to the room first, and then Dad will think about countermeasures. ”
Xu Yiyan was waiting for An Xue Lonely in the room, and when he saw An Xue Lonely coming back, he hurriedly poured tea, "Lonely, you ...... it."
"Sister Yiyan, I don't want to marry the second prince......" An Xue lonely picked up the cup and sighed melancholy.
Xu Yiyan touched An Xulone's head, extremely pitying, "It's okay, Uncle An must have a way, how can he be willing to let you go to the palace, don't worry, Uncle An will definitely find a way to protect you." ”
On the other side, Gong Shaoxun, who returned to Chonghua Palace, changed his gentle appearance in front of An Xulone, his eyes were gloomy, and he kept pacing in the hall.
At this time, a man in black hurriedly came: "Your Highness, he is still in the capital, and his subordinates see that he is sometimes absent-minded, as if he is waiting for someone." ”
Gong Shaoxun snorted coldly: "Who are you waiting for?" What else could he be waiting for? This is his only pillar, can he not hold on to it? The more he wants to catch it, the more I want to take it over, and I want him to never turn over! ”
The man in black cooperated and said: "As long as His Highness is still there, it will be impossible for him to turn over, and now his only pillar will also belong to His Highness." ”
Gong Shaoxun waved his hand: "You continue to monitor, don't be noticed by your father's people." ”
The man in black answered and quickly left.
The smile on the corner of Gong Shaoxun's mouth became darker and darker.
