Chapter 101: Face Saint
[Chapter 5, Volume 5]
Section 108 Chapter 101 Face Saint
When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the officers and soldiers guarding the door saw that it was Gonggong Zhang, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The little one has asked Gonggong Zhang for peace." How old are you ......? ”
"The emperor has decreed that Prince Xuanluo and Lin Mengyu, the third lady of Bachelor's Mansion, will enter the palace to face the saint." Father-in-law Zhang said expressionlessly. What kind of person you treat depends on what kind of attitude you have.
The officer and soldier listened to Zhang's words, glanced behind Zhang's father-in-law, and saw that the prince was looking at him, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace.
"There's no need to be polite, the emperor is still waiting to be summoned, just open the palace door." Lan Yucheng said with a smile on his face.
"Yes." Before the officer turned around, he unconsciously glanced at the carriage. Although I can't see the beauty in it clearly, I can listen to Gonggong Zhang's words, there is a woman sitting here, but when Li Guard's fight with the prince was fighting, the woman in the conversation. How could he not be curious?
With the escort of the two signboards of Gonggong Zhang and Prince Luo, Mengyu's carriage naturally passed all the way unimpeded.
The carriage grumbled for a long time, and then suddenly stopped. Mengyu thought that she had arrived at her destination, and after straightening her clothes, she heard Zhang's father-in-law outside the car say, "Please Miss Lin San get out of the car and go over with the old slave to meet the saint." ”
Mengyu was helped out of the carriage by the palace maid who accompanied the carriage, but he didn't expect that under the carriage, it was not the footstool that he saw on weekdays, but a kneeling person. Dream talk and TV for so many years are not in vain, and after watching more, you will naturally know that this is the legendary human flesh footstool.
Father-in-law Zhang was still waiting for her beside her, and she didn't want to do something special and alone as soon as she entered the palace, so she hesitated for a second, stepped on the man's back, and got out of the carriage.
"Go and give the man this silver horn." Mengyu took a few steps forward, took out a tael of silver from the cuff, handed it to the palace maid who helped her get out of the carriage, and motioned for her to hand it over to the little eunuch who was stepped on by her to get out of the carriage.
Mengyu has been trying to adapt to this era, but in her heart, she still finds it difficult to accept some things.
The palace maid took the silver taels, walked back quickly, and handed it to the man. The man hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of Mengyu. The eunuch was also a child of a good family, but because the family really couldn't support the children, he had no choice but to get rid of his children and grandchildren and send them to the palace as eunuchs. The family is counting on them to save a little silver taels to subsidize the family. These of them, who are footstools, are the lowest eunuchs in the palace. Although they serve the master of the palace every day, they don't even know what the master who stepped on them and got out of the carriage looked like. Not to mention what reward there will be, if one is unstable and accidentally falls on the master, his own life will come to an end. finally met a master who treated him as a human being and rewarded him with silver, how could he not like it?
Mengyu smiled helplessly, she gave him the silver, just to make her feel better. Now that the man is kowtowing to her, how can she still feel at ease?
Lan Yucheng saw Mengyu's behavior in his eyes, and saw that she and her two big maids were talking about trouble on weekdays, thinking that she was just because she was close to those two maids. Now it seems that her heart is too kind.
Mengyu and Lan Yucheng walked forward for a while, but they still didn't see the emperor for a long time, and the more they walked, the more chaotic Mengyu's heart became: "Hey, I'm a little nervous, what should I do?" ”
"Don't be nervous, Grandpa Huang is just to see you, and he won't embarrass you." Lan Yucheng smiled and comforted.
That's his imperial grandfather, not her imperial grandfather! It's no wonder that she won't be embarrassed! That's the emperor, who knows what he's thinking.
"Please wait a moment with Miss Lin San, the old slave will go over and say goodbye." Mengyu was still talking about the emperor in his heart, and suddenly Gonggong Zhang stopped, turned to look at the two of them and said.
Shizi nodded, glanced at the strange and silent Mengyu, and said comfortingly: "Don't think too much, salute when you should salute, say when you should speak, and smile when you should smile." ”
Mengyu didn't look up at Lan Yucheng, continued to lower his head, wringed the handkerchief in his hand, and said secretly in his heart: "How do I know when to salute, when to speak, and when to smile!" It's all nonsense! ”
"The emperor is in the pavilion with Concubine Shuniang, please Prince Luo and Miss Lin San to come over." It didn't take long for Grandpa Zhang to come back quickly.
Lan Yucheng made a gesture of invitation to Gonggong Zhang, led the way by Gonggong Zhang, took a wrong step back, stood beside Mengyu, and said, "Concubine Shu is Xie Danniang's aunt. After saying that, he immediately pretended that nothing was going on, and continued to walk in front of Mengyu.
In a word, it immediately made Mengyu's heart like a drum.
Xie Danniang's desire to become the princess of the world had already been publicized at that party. When Mengyu was unconscious, Lan Yu accompanied him every day, and Xie Danniang must have known it. If Lan Yucheng still obeyed his parents' orders and married Xie Danniang, then everyone would just say, "The son of the world is grateful for his kindness, so he will take good care of Lin Mengyu." But if the princess of the world becomes a dream, it will be different. This is completely a slap in the face of Xie Danniang, not only her, but also the entire Xie Mansion is afraid that it will become the laughing stock of the whole Kyoto, just like the dream of Li Yanxu's resignation.
Obviously, the emperor wants to see her, why did this concubine suddenly appear here? It's not good......
"Yu Cheng greets the imperial grandfather, and the lady concubine asks for peace." Outside the pavilion, Lan Yu smiled in a regular manner and asked the emperor and the concubine in the pavilion to say goodbye.
"Lin's dream language, to the emperor, the lady concubine Niangniang, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the concubine, the lady concubine is auspicious." Mengyu didn't dare to look up at the two people in the pavilion, knelt down and saluted. Originally, I wanted to say in my dream, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. But suddenly I thought that these words should have been said to the queen. Although the fourth concubine is already in a very high position, she is just a concubine after all.
"Get up." Above Mengyu's head, a deep voice suddenly appeared. A majestic aura that had been in a high position for a long time suddenly rushed towards the dream language.
"Emperor Xie, Concubine Niangniang." Mengyu cautiously got up, still standing in place with her head bowed.
"Your Majesty, is this the Miss Lin San who saved the world?" Concubine Shu rolled up her sleeves, pointed at Mengyu, and said to the emperor with a smile: "Such a beautiful villain, can do such a thing, isn't it the emperor playing with the concubine again?" The lady lady smiled coquettishly.
The emperor also ignored Concubine Shu's words, and said to Mengyu: "Lin, raise your head." ”
Hearing the emperor's orders, how dare Mengyu disobey. Hesitating, he slowly raised his head, his eyes didn't dare to look around, and looked in the direction where he had just spoken.
When the emperor was looking at Mengyu, Mengyu was also looking at the emperor carefully.
The emperor is nearly sixty years old, and in such an era, he is already considered to be a long life. The body is thin, and his face is a little gray, even if he is in a dream, he can see that the emperor's lifespan is probably running out. The biggest highlight on his face is a pair of peach blossom eyes. It can be seen that Lan Yucheng's peach blossom eyes are similar to this emperor.
"It's decent-looking. I remember that you have just recovered from a serious illness, so come and sit down with Cheng'er. The emperor nodded, as if he was quite satisfied with Mengyu's appearance, and said to the two of them.
What do you mean by being decent?! Since she wore it here, she is most proud that God gave her such a face, and this emperor is too picky!
"Come, Miss Lin, sit with me." With a kind smile on her face, Concubine Shu beckoned to Mengyu.
Mengyu saw that Lan Yucheng had already sat down next to the emperor, so he blessed the concubine and walked over obediently.
Concubine Shu said in a dream and said, "The prince, but the emperor's treasure!" Thanks to Miss Lin coming forward to save me this time, I, as an aunt, will be for my Danniang's child, thank you Miss Lin. As he spoke, he took off a jade red bracelet from his hand and put it on Mengyu's hand.
