Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dismounting
As Su Mujiu expected, a carriage really stopped at the gate of the palace on the second day.
"It's time to get out of the house, miss." Mama stood at the door and knocked on the door.
However, the door in front of him did not move.
What's going on with this young lady today?
Didn't you want to go to the palace yesterday?
This carriage has already come, why hasn't Miss seen any movement?
At this moment, Su Mujiu, who was in the wing, had a bitter gourd's face.
She looked at the face in the bronze mirror and sighed.
Last night she took off the disguise on her face and went to sleep, not having time to look in the mirror.
Who knew that when I got up to change my clothes this morning, I inadvertently glanced at the bronze mirror, only to find that there were small red rashes on my face.
She carefully put the smeared thing that day on the tip of her nose again and sniffed it, and there was a faint smell of mold!
No wonder the steward saw her that day and said she smelled something strange.
This thing is supposed to be the so-called skin cream, but it has been left for too long and has expired.
That's why she has such a red rash on her face.
What to do, what to do.
I'm about to enter the palace, what is she going to do with this face?
Su Mujiu was anxious like an ant on a hot pot at the moment, and she was pacing back and forth in place.
And the knock at the door kept going on for a long time.
"Miss, aren't you going to go to this palace? If you don't go, I'll have the carriage brought back. Mama stood at the door for a long time, and didn't wait for Su Mujiu to open the door, she tore open her throat and dropped such a sentence.
"Squeak-"
Mama was about to turn around and leave when the sound of the door being pulled open behind her.
Mama looked back and saw Su Mujiu with a veil coming over.
"Miss, what kind of dress are you?" Mama's voice was slightly puzzled, and her brow furrowed.
Su Mujiu replied calmly, "Mama, don't care what I'm pretending to be, it's important to go to the palace." ”
After Su Mujiu finished speaking, he ran away, leaving Mama behind.
Mama looked at the back of the hurried line, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Miss, pay attention to your identity!" ”
Su Mujiu walked through the huge palace and got into the carriage, she patted her chest, she finally didn't get caught by her grandmother and asked, she said to the coachman: "Let's go." ”
With the little servant's "Let's go-", the carriage swayed towards the palace gate.
After Su Mujiu arrived at the palace, as soon as he got off the carriage, someone came to answer him.
I'm afraid that this Tang Emperor knows that she is coming today, so he will send someone to wait for her.
What should come is what is coming.
Su Mujiu took a deep breath, and then took a big step and followed the palace maid to the "Zhengqing Palace".
This Zhengqing Palace is very different from the style of the main hall that Su Mujiu participated in the banquet before.
At the steps in front of the main hall, there are a total of eight stone lions, eight stone lions with different faces, and in front of each stone lion stand two guards, their swords at their waists, and their expressions are solemn.
To get to the main hall, you have to climb these ninety-nine steps and pass eight stone lions.
By the time Su Mujiu climbed up to the hall, he was already so tired that he couldn't breathe.
What was in the mind of the man who built this great temple?
This staircase climbs a dead man.
Su Mujiu propped up the door frame and gasped for air.
Inadvertently, she glanced so lightly, and saw more than a dozen sedan chairs parked next to the main hall, and waiting attendants standing next to them.
Obviously, the other officials, including the emperor, all came up in this soft sedan chair.
She is the only one who climbed up hard!
Su Mujiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of displeasure crossed her eyes.
This Tang Huang is quite scheming, and he didn't forget to give her a horse at this time.
"Lord Mu has arrived-" The father-in-law on the side was very good at looking at people's eyes, and when he saw that Su Mujiu was almost resting, he announced loudly.
After a while, the voice of Emperor Tang came from the main hall, "Xuan." ”
The father-in-law made a gesture of invitation to Su Mujiu, and Su Mujiu nodded to the father-in-law, and stepped into the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Su Mujiu saw that there were already a lot of ministers standing neatly in this hall, most of these people were important ministers in the court, and they were in high and powerful positions.
However, among these people, only the servants of the Ministry of Rites and the servants of the Ministry of Officials are missing.
Can this Tang Emperor's heart be a little smaller?
Su Mujiu sneered in his heart.
She swaggered to the center of the hall, with a pair of uninhibited eyes, "Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
This was originally in a good mood, but the moment he fell in love with Su Mujiu, his face collapsed in an instant.
"You're here." Tang Huang's voice was full of indifference, and his eyes were full of gloom.
"Eh, lord, what's the matter with the veil on your face? Seeing the saint, is it too frivolous to dress like this, this can be described as a great disrespect to the emperor! The prime minister naturally knew Emperor Tang's thoughts, so he came out and bluntly pointed out Su Mujiu's mistakes.
Su Mujiu's glassy eyes just glanced at the prime minister lightly, and there was still a smile in his eyes.
The prime minister didn't know why, and when he was looked at by this look, he was a little weak-hearted.
"Prime Minister, have you ever heard the story of a dog that can't spit out ivory from its mouth?" Su Mujiu was clearly smiling, but it was not the same thing when he said this.
When the prime minister heard Su Mujiu say this, his big face turned red in an instant, his eyes widened with anger, and he stretched out his finger and pointed at Su Mujiu, "Lord, this emperor is here!" Don't be so prestigious! ”
Su Mujiu's eyes darkened, this prime minister was interesting.
Hat after hat buttoned up to her head.
After the prime minister pushed him so much, his expression became more and more ugly, and there was undisguised disgust in his eyes when he looked at Su Mujiu.
"Oh, Prime Minister, I'm just asking if you've heard this story, and you haven't alluded to anything." Su Mujiu said with a smile, his eyes were full of banter.
She paced and walked to the prime minister, and stopped before a step away.
She said: "As for why I wore a veil on my face, it was naturally because I went to Wushan for fear of contracting some disease and infecting the emperor, so I covered myself. If you say I'm disrespectful, then I'll take it off. ”
Su Mujiu said as he made a gesture to take off the veil on his face.
The prime minister was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, you can take it, you can take it." ”
Su Mujiu raised her eyebrows, and then walked back to her original position.
Emperor Tang coughed lightly at this time, "Lord Mu, today is the last day of the three-day period I gave you, have you found evidence to clear your name?" ”。
Tang Huang's fingertips tapped on the handrail, and there was schadenfreude in his eyes.
