Chapter 45: Mustard Pastry
"He dares!"
Zhao Shicheng spoke sharply, but Xu Tingyu pouted in disbelief.
"Today's events, the woman is just quibbling, who can't see it? First, there is no evidence, and secondly, you have no major incident, that Lord Chen is a minister reused by his father, so the matter was hastily resolved. ”
Xu Tingyu recalled that her mother held her hand at that time, and she knew what it was.
"Reused by the emperor...... Then he will not punish his own daughter. ”
"On the contrary, my father gave him enough face, and even did not hesitate to brush the face of your Wuling Uncle's Mansion, if Lord Chen is still ignorant and punishes his daughter by himself, he really let his father get bad from your father, and this Lord Chen will not be reused by his father in the future."
After Zhao Shicheng finished speaking, Xu Tingyu's eyes lit up slightly, which made sense.
The result came even faster than Zhao Shicheng expected, as soon as Xu Tingyu was sent back to the courtyard where he lived temporarily in the palace by Zhao Shicheng, Xu Tingyu learned the news of the woman's punishment, and Mrs. Chen even brought a heavy gift to apologize.
Although he did not admit the charge of intentionally harming her, Xu Tingyu was basically content to get to this point, and he praised the emperor's wisdom and martial arts in his heart.
The emperor touched his nose in the imperial study, and resisted the urge to sneeze in front of the minister.
And the minister who came to the imperial study in the middle of the night, and stood in front of the emperor at this moment, was Lord Chen, who had been warned by Zhao Shicheng.
"What is Chen Qing doing here?"
The emperor spoke, and Zhao Shicheng spoke, and Lord Chen, who was deeply used by the emperor, first expressed his gratitude for today's events, and then showed that he had punished his daughter, and finally said Zhao Shicheng's words to warn him today.
"Chen Qing has come to me to seek justice?"
Because he wanted to sneeze, the emperor thought that he had a cold, picked up the teacup and took a sip of slightly hot tea, and then squinted slightly, meaning that he didn't know what to say.
"The emperor misunderstood, the minister just felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have changed, which was quite different from the past."
Lord Chen hurriedly clarified the misunderstanding and discussed his discovery with the emperor.
The Emperor nodded slightly, "Well, I know, you should step back and rest!" ”
Lord Chen left, and the emperor spoke again, "Cheng'er is different from before, what do you think, little Dezi?" ”
Gonggong De, who was already the head of the eunuchs, smiled, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already excellent, otherwise His Majesty would have chosen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as His Royal Highness the Prince, and in the past, he was just not thinking about it." ”
The emperor nodded, and suddenly commanded, "Go to Chuancheng'er and come to the imperial study." ”
The eunuch took the order and left.
And Zhao Shicheng, who had just sent Xu Tingyu back, was intercepted by someone halfway to the imperial study before he reached the East Palace.
"What is the matter with my father looking for his sons late at night?"
Zhao Shicheng spoke.
The emperor groaned, and only after a moment did he ask, "I thought, how about letting Xu Tingyu enter the palace to be your companion?" ”
"Companion?"
Zhao Shicheng was slightly stunned, reacted and nodded directly.
"It's okay, Xu Tingyu has been with Erchen for a long time, let her enter the palace to add glory to Erchen as a companion, anyone in the province dares to bully."
The emperor smiled when he heard this, waved his hand to let Zhao Shicheng leave, and looked at Gonggong De, the chief eunuch who had been with him for most of his life, and hesitated.
"You say, did Xu Tingyu make Cheng'er change her appearance?"
Father-in-law De lowered his eyes, "The slave doesn't know." ”
The emperor sighed and shook his head, "You, every time you have a big stake, you pretend not to know, come on!" Intended! ”
So, when Xu Tingyu got up on the second day, he received a holy decree from the emperor.
"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, Xu Tingyu, the daughter of Wuling Bofu, is talented and intelligent, and she will be in the palace today to accompany His Royal Highness the Prince! Chin this! ”
After listening, Xu Tingyu raised his head in disbelief and looked deeply at the eunuch who announced the decree.
"This father-in-law, you can't make a mistake, do you?"
"Ahem!"
Mrs. Xu coughed lightly, and Xu Li laughed dryly, "My daughter doesn't know the etiquette on weekdays, don't blame Gonggong De, it's just this holy decree ......"
Xu Tingyu, who was pulled by his mother-in-law, staggered, looked at his mother-in-law blankly, only to hear his mother-in-law explain in a suppressed voice, "That father-in-law is a father-in-law who has followed the emperor since he ascended the throne." ”
Chief Eunuch!
Xu Tingyu had a stirring spirit in his mind, and when he looked at it again, the father-in-law had already left, leaving only his father with a complicated face holding the holy decree.
"Yu'er should be good in the palace."
After just such a sentence, his father and mother and two brothers were reluctant to leave the palace, leaving only Xu Tingyu sitting on the chair with a blank face.
"Miss Xu."
A slightly familiar voice came, and Xu Tingyu looked at it, it was Chen Su with a group of East Palace guards.
Xu Tingyu, who was still in a daze, didn't squeak, and Chen Su had already taken the lead in speaking, "My subordinates were ordered to help Miss Xu carry things, what does Miss Xu have to take to the East Palace?" ”
"East Palace?"
Xu Tingyu asked blankly.
Chen Su respectfully explained, "Yes, in the future, Miss Xu will accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study, and in order to save trouble, she will live in the side hall of the East Palace. ”
“…… I don't have anything here, can I go outside the palace and bring something in? ”
After taking a deep breath, Xu Tingyu opened his mouth to discuss.
"This ...... It's not easy to enter and leave the palace, why don't you write a note to your subordinates, and your subordinates send someone out of the palace to hand it over to the Xu Mansion for Miss Xu? ”
Chen Su made a suggestion, and Xu Tingyu finally nodded after being silent for a long time.
A large list of lists, Chen Su didn't even look at it and handed it over to his subordinates, Xu Tingyu's eyes flashed slightly.
Xu Tingyu, who followed Chen Su back to the East Palace first, saw Zhao Shicheng and immediately rushed up to ask, "What's going on?" Why did the emperor suddenly order me to be your companion? What did you do? ”
At that time, Zhao Shicheng, who was lying on the soft collapse and eating grapes, blinked innocently, held Xu Tingyu's finger pointing at him with one hand, and pulled it forward, Xu Tingyu stumbled and pounced on Zhao Shicheng.
Chen Su and the others bowed their heads intuitively.
Xu Tingyu was about to support himself to get up, but Zhao Shicheng reached out and pressed Xu Tingyu on himself, tilting his head to look at her, "I don't know what my father thinks, probably because I think you are too stupid, so I let you follow me for a long time." ”
"Long brains?"
Xu Tingyu asked angrily, and for a while he forgot to get up from Zhao Shicheng.
Zhao Shicheng nodded as a matter of course, Xu Tingyu was annoyed, but someone outside the house came to report that the pastry that Xu Tingyu wanted had arrived.
Pastry...... Xu Tingyu's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this.
"Send it in!"
All she had on her list was a special pastry she had made and put in the Listening Rain Pavilion.
"You're bringing pastries with you?" Zhao Shicheng asked.
Xu Tingyu nodded, reached out and took a piece of pastry and fed it to Zhao Shicheng in such a posture.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, try it, it's very delicious!"
Enjoy the mustard pastry that I have specially prepared!
