Chapter 178: Entering the Palace Draft
In the palace, a small eunuch is reporting to the emperor about the situation in the prime minister's palace. The emperor smiled: "Prime Minister Ouyang really loves this daughter." Gonggong Huang asked respectfully, "Has the emperor seen the daughter of the Ouyang family?" Why is the emperor so concerned? The emperor smiled: "The old guy is also gossiping~" Huang Gonggong laughed: "The old slave watched the emperor grow up, and I haven't seen the emperor so concerned about whose daughter." The emperor smiled and said, "If Ouyang Tong wasn't Ouyang Hu's daughter, I wouldn't have looked at it." Huang Gonggong said curiously: "So, the emperor has seen it?" The emperor nodded: "I have seen it once." Huang Gonggong asked in a low voice: "That prime minister's daughter, is it really as the world says?" ”
The emperor got up and walked to the incense burner: "The appearance is indeed a country and a city." Gonggong Huang followed the emperor to the incense burner: "If this is the case, it is just right to be included in the harem." The emperor glanced at Gonggong Huang: "How do you say this?" Huang Gonggong said with a smile: "If you are not the best woman in this world, how can you stay in this harem." The emperor glanced at Huang Gonggong: "Old thing, when did you learn to pat on the back." "When does the draft start?" The emperor asked lightly. "Ten days later." Huang Gonggong said. "What is the list of must-haves?" The emperor asked. "In addition to Ouyang Tong of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is also the youngest daughter of General Wu's family, and the eldest daughter of Lord Shen's family in the Ministry of Officials." Huang Gonggong thought carefully. "Have these people investigated?" Gonggong Huang nodded: "I've checked it all, except for the Ouyang Tong who is all over the capital, the rest are ordinary daughters of famous families, with mediocre appearances and no talents." ”
"That's fine, I have to worry about the affairs of the harem again." The emperor looked at the incense burner and said lightly. Huang Gonggong saluted: "Your Majesty, the harem is controlled by the queen's mother, and there will be no big mess." The emperor shook his head: "Although the queen is smart, she is not scheming enough after all, she is often calculated, and she needs me to protect her from time to time. Gonggong Huang nodded: "Yes, the queen's position, how many pairs of eyes are staring, the queen naturally has to put more thought into it than others." The emperor looked out the door: "From the moment she was born, I swore to protect her for the rest of my life." Gonggong Huang nodded: "The queen and you, can be regarded as a good story in this world." The emperor glanced at Huang Gonggong: "If you can accompany you to old age, it is a good story in the world." ”
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ouyang Hu sat in the study and sighed. "Xiangye." Zhang entered the door and saluted. Xiang Ye showed the fold in his hand to Zhang: "Now, I'm afraid it's hard to dodge." Zhang Shi looked at it carefully: "How could the emperor criticize this sentence on the fold?" "Your Majesty is telling me that there must be my pupil on the draft list." Ouyang Hu said with a sad face. Zhang put the fold back on the table and shook his head: "Xiangye, I'm afraid there is no other way." Ouyang Hu sat there quietly, with a sad face. Daddy, Mom. The child is willing to enter the palace. Ouyang Tong walked in from outside and said politely. Ouyang Hu immediately got up and walked in front of Ouyang Tong: "Tong'er, you have to think more." Ouyang Tong shook his head: "Daddy, I've already thought about it very clearly. The daughter has no desires in her life, only wants her parents to be healthy. Zhang also walked in front of Ouyang Tong: "Tong'er, if you enter the harem, your father and mother will not be able to be the master, and it will be difficult to see each other in the future." ”
Ouyang Tong's brows tufted slightly: "Mother, as soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, I know this truth." It's just that it's really not worth it to take the lives of the whole family for me. "Father, mother, there are still a few brothers in the family who do their filial piety for me, and my daughter has entered the palace, so I can speak for my father in front of the emperor." Ouyang Tong said seriously. Ouyang Tong knelt in front of Ouyang Hu and Zhang: "Father, mother, after my daughter enters the palace, if she is favored, she will be fine, if she is not favored or makes a mistake, you will cut off contact with me, and don't implicate your father and a few brothers." Ouyang Hu frowned: "What are you talking about?" In any case, you are my daughter. Ouyang Tong nodded: "Dad, my daughter naturally hopes that I can bring glory to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the world is impermanent, and I must keep the Prime Minister's Mansion." I hope that my father and mother will focus on the Prime Minister's Mansion and several brothers. ”
Ouyang Hu helped Ouyang Tong up: "Tong'er, your filial piety, my father understands it." Now, Dad really can't think of any other way, if you enter the palace, Dad just begs you to be safe, don't provoke right and wrong, don't be favored, just be an ordinary woman. Ouyang Tong nodded: "Dad, the child understands what you mean." Ouyang Hu nodded: "It's good if you understand." Zhang held Ouyang Tong's hand: "Tong'er, although you are not my own child, but you have grown up beside me since childhood, I have nothing to give you, only the hairpin that my mother gave, later, I will send it to you, and you will take it into the palace, which can be regarded as a memory." Ouyang Tong nodded: "Thank you, mother." "The draft list will come out tomorrow." Ouyang Hu sighed and said.
"When the list comes out, you will also enter the palace to learn etiquette." Ouyang Hu looked at Ouyang Tong, his face full of sorrow. Zhang held Ouyang Tong's hand tightly: "I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly, and tomorrow will be the day of separation." Ouyang Tong nodded: "Father and mother, my daughter will kowtow to you today." After speaking, Ouyang Tong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ouyang Hu and Zhang three times. Thank you for your kindness to the child. Ouyang Hu and Zhang snuggled together, silently crying. Ouyang Hu and Zhang's helped Ouyang Tong together, and the family of three hugged each other tightly.
The next morning, the eunuchs of the palace came to deliver the decree. "Prime Minister Ouyang, the carriage will come to pick you up in the afternoon, you better make some preparations early." The little eunuch kindly reminded. Ouyang Hu sent someone to stuff the little eunuch with silver money, and saluted the little eunuch: "Thank you father-in-law for the decree." The little eunuch took the reward money and left happily. Ouyang Tong's things had already been packed up, and as soon as the will came, there was no room for turnaround. "Hitomi, you can rest for a while, go to the palace, and you won't be able to see this home." Ouyang Hu walked back to the study with his hands behind his back. "Hitomi, my mother still has something to say to you." Zhang pulled Ouyang Tong and went to his bedroom to whisper.
"Tong'er, there should be a dot in the palace, your father has already dotted it, and after entering the palace, he won't make you suffer." Zhang held Ouyang Tong's hand and said seriously. "If there is anything, you can write back to tell your mother, and your mother will help you find a way." "I will send things to the palace from time to time, and tell my mother if you lack anything." Zhang thought a lot and said a lot. In the blink of an eye, the morning passed. "Madam, the carriage to pick up the young lady has arrived." Aunt Tian came in to report. Zhang took Ouyang Tong's hand and walked out: "In the palace, don't be strong in everything, the people in the harem are thoughtful, you have to be careful everywhere in the world." Ouyang Tong nodded: "I've written it down, mother." The Zhang family kept sending Ouyang Tong to the carriage, and watched the carriage go away before wiping his tears and returning home. Ouyang Hu just stood at the back of the crowd from a distance, reluctantly watching Ouyang Tong leave.
"Now, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has entered the palace, and she will not be seen in the future." "Isn't it, my friend, who is still bragging to me about how the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion has fallen into the city." "That's not bragging, I was there that day in Fengnian Temple, and that appearance is really rare in the world." "Really?" "Absolutely." "Hey, it's a pity, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to see you again in this life."
Ouyang Tong in the carriage slowly removed the veil, and she looked out the window through the curtain. In the future, she can only rely on herself. It's just that Ouyang Tong doesn't understand why he attaches great importance to letting her enter the palace because he has never paid attention to his father. If Ouyang Hu really loves Ouyang Tong, for so many years, Ouyang Hu will not let Ouyang Tong study hard. If Ouyang Hu doesn't love Ouyang Tong, but in the matter of entering the palace draft, Ouyang Hu tried his best, in order to prevent Ouyang Tong from entering the palace, Ouyang Hu even put down his dignity. Ouyang Tong looked out the window, his thoughts were complicated, and he was more uneasy.
