Chapter 213: Like?
Entering the palace? Hearing the news, several people were a little surprised.
"Okay, father-in-law, let's clean up and go to the palace to see Your Majesty." Zhang Jirin's eyes were also puzzled, and he quickly covered it up.
"That's great, let's dare to ask Mrs. by name." Although Gonggong Li was talking to Zhang Jilin, his eyes stayed on Liu Meiniang and never looked away.
"Back to my father-in-law, the courtier's surname is Liu, just call me Mei Niang." Liu Meiniang replied with her head bowed.
"Liu?" Gonggong Li seemed very surprised.
Liu Meiniang glanced at Zhang Jilin puzzled. Father-in-law Li also knew that he had lost his temper, and pretended to cough twice.
"The general secretary took his wife into the palace later, and the slave took the first step." Gonggong Li glanced at Liu Meiniang deeply, and turned around and left after speaking.
"Brother Ji Rin, why is Gonggong Li a little weird. Everyone present discovered Grandpa Li's anomaly. Zhang Jirin shook his head, in fact, he didn't know.
"Hurry up and pack up and enter the palace, don't keep Your Majesty waiting for a long time." Nie Changfeng urged.
And Xue Wuyi didn't speak on the side. Intuition told him that the reaction of Gonggong Li just now was absolutely abnormal, who was Gonggong Li. The people who have followed Emperor Changping for most of his life, Xue Wuyi often enters the palace, but he has never seen Gonggong Li so out of shape, and Gonggong Li is like this after seeing Liu Meiniang.
This made Xue Wuyi feel more worried. But the king has an order, and the minister has to obey, Zhang Jilin and Liu Meiniang still have to enter the palace.
"It just so happens that I'm going to enter the palace too, let's go together." Xue Wuyi finally said lightly.
Liu Meiniang looked at Xue Wuyi in surprise, is it really Xue Wuyi who wants to enter the palace, not to enter the palace with them? Didn't you say that you can't enter the palace unless there is an edict?
All this that happened today made Liu Meiniang's brain a mess.
After all, she is not a native of ancient times, especially when it comes to imperial power, Liu Meiniang really doesn't know what to do.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Zhang Jirin held Liu Meiniang's hand tightly, and the warmth from the palm of her hand made Liu Meiniang's heart settle down a little.
"I'll go back and change my clothes, and let's go."
The few people who were about to leave turned back again.
Liu Meiniang came out after changing her clothes, Zhang Jilin looked at Liu Meiniang's breath and suffocated, this time it was not how good-looking Liu Meiniang dressed herself, or how beautiful she changed into a set of clothes, on the contrary, Liu Meiniang wore a set of moon-white dresses this time, very generous and decent, if Liu Meiniang wearing bright orange clothes is the sun, dazzling, then Liu Meiniang wearing moon-white clothes is the moon, quiet and gentle.
And there is a kind of dusty atmosphere.
Liu Meiniang didn't have any decoration on her head, only a simple hosta, but this kind of dress is better than heavy makeup.
Zhang Jilin suddenly felt a wave of irritability in his heart, as if he had taken Liu Meiniang to a place where there was no one to hide. He is the only one who can see Liu Meiniang in this life, otherwise, no matter what clothes Liu Meiniang wears or what actions she does, she looks great in his eyes, Zhang Jirin doesn't want Liu Meiniang's beauty to be seen by anyone.
"Let's go." Liu Meiniang glanced at a few people in the living room.
"Sister-in-law, be careful when you enter the palace." Zhang Jihan stood up and said solemnly, although it was the first time he came to the capital, he had done a lot of homework before coming, he not only read through the history of the Great Qi, but also read a lot of history books, to be honest, most of the records of the emperor in the history books are positive, but Zhang Jihan read that the emperor will always be full of people to behead this piece, in fact, there is more fear and awe of the palace, the emperor, so I heard that Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jirin are going to enter the palace, Zhang Jihan is not in a good mood, if he can, Zhang Jihan hoped that they would never enter the palace.
"Got it."
Liu Meiniang smiled and was about to touch Zhang Jihan's head, only to find that Zhang Jihan was already a head taller than her, so she had to withdraw her hand fortunately.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jihan lowered his head and touched Liu Meiniang, like a big golden retriever, very cute.
"Gone." As soon as Liu Meiniang's hand touched Zhang Jihan's head, Zhang Jirin pulled Liu Meiniang to turn around and left.
Looking at the back of his brother who was far away, Zhang Jihan was angry and funny in his heart, as for my eldest brother, even his brother's vinegar was late, Zhang Jihan said that he despised his brother very much.
When he came out again, the butler had all the carriages ready.
"Sir, ma'am, stay safe on the road." The housekeeper lifted the curtain, and Liu Meiniang took the lead in the carriage.
"Don't call me an adult in the future." Before entering the carriage, Zhang Jilin turned his head and said to the housekeeper. The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhang Jilin meant.
In fact, Zhang Jirin is jealous, isn't it usually the old man and the lady together? Why did he become an adult and a wife when he came here, it didn't sound like a husband and wife at all.
The carriage drove far away, and the housekeeper was still standing in place figuring out what Zhang Jirin meant, and suddenly clapped his palms.
"I'm a pig-brain." The butler muttered inside.
Besides, Gonggong Li, after leaving Zhang Jirin's mansion and getting into the carriage, the expression on his face finally couldn't be hidden.
"How can it be so similar?" Gonggong Li muttered to himself.
He is the person who came to Emperor Changping, and he has experienced ups and downs with Emperor Changping for most of his life, and many things are unknown to others, but he knows them all.
Just saw Liu Meiniang for the first time, if it wasn't for the time, Li Gonggong would have thought that person was back again, until now, Li Gonggong has not come back to his senses, he can't imagine what Emperor Changping would have reacted to when he saw Liu Meiniang.
"Oh my God, what the hell are you trying to do?"
After arriving at the palace, Gonggong Li hurriedly went to find Emperor Changping.
"Done?" Emperor Changping was practicing calligraphy by the window, and when he saw Gonggong Li coming in, he raised his eyelids and said lightly.
"Back to Your Majesty, Mr. Zhang and his wife will be here in a while." Gonggong Li replied respectfully.
"Well, got it, let's go down." Emperor Changping said lightly, the movements in his hands have not stopped.
Gonggong Li stood still and did not move.
"Anything else?" Emperor Changping glanced at Gonggong Li suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhang, she ......"
As soon as Gonggong Li wanted to talk about it, another little eunuch outside came in and told Emperor Changping Zhang Jilin that Liu Meiniang and Xue Wuyi asked to see him.
"Let them in." Emperor Changping put down the brush.
"You're just waiting on the sidelines." It could be seen that Gonggong Li still had something to say, so Emperor Changping asked Gonggong Li to wait on the side, and after he met with Zhang Jilin and others, he asked Gonggong Li again.
When Gonggong Li heard that Liu Meiniang was coming, his heart suddenly fluttered.
Emperor Changping took the towel handed by the little eunuch and wiped his hands, and then sat back on the main seat.
Zhang Jilin, Liu Meiniang, and Xue Wuyi came in.
"Minister Zhang Jirin"
"Courtesy Liu Meiniang"
"Grass Folk Xue Wuyi"
"Meet the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live."
The three of them knelt down and saluted.
"Get up." Emperor Changping said lightly.
Zhang Jirin got up and helped Liu Meiniang up.
Only then did Emperor Changping raise his eyes and look at the few people kneeling under His Royal Highness.
When he saw Liu Meiniang, Emperor Changping was stunned, and the teacup in his hand was also knocked over.
"Linglong?" Emperor Changping stood up directly from his seat. I even slipped a little when I went down the steps.
Seeing this, Gonggong Li hurriedly went to help Emperor Changping.
"Your Majesty."
Emperor Changping pushed Gonggong Li away.
"Linglong, are you back? Exquisite! Emperor Changping directly took Liu Meiniang's hand, Zhang Jilin and Xue Wuyi were stunned when they heard the name that came out of Emperor Changping's mouth, they had also heard about the concubine, and even Xue Wuyi knew better, because Emperor Changping sometimes remembered Xue Wuyi.
When Xue Wuyi heard Emperor Changping shouting at Liu Meiniang, the shock in his heart was indescribable.
At the moment when Zhang Jilin was stunned, Emperor Changping had already grabbed Liu Meiniang's hand.
"Your Majesty, this is the minister's wife." Zhang Jilin reacted and wanted to wave away Emperor Changping's hand, but he didn't expect Emperor Changping to use martial arts to push Zhang Jilin away.
"You hurt me, you also recognized the wrong person, I'm not Linglong." Liu Meiniang was also blindsided at first, until she reacted and struggled to take her hand out of Emperor Changping's hand.
Emperor Changping saw that Liu Meiniang's white and tender hands were pinched out of red marks by himself, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.
"Mei Niang." Zhang Jirin walked over quickly and pulled Liu Meiniang directly behind his back.
couldn't see Liu Meiniang, and Emperor Changping was a little sober.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that's Mr. Zhang's wife, Liu Meiniang." Gonggong Li saw the scene just now, he felt distressed and sad, Emperor Changping's obsession with the concubine was too deep, Gonggong Li was the person who witnessed the whole process of love between Emperor Changping and Yu Linglong, and naturally knew how important Yu Linglong was to Emperor Changping.
"Don't blame Madam, Madam looks like one of His Majesty's deceased concubines, that's why His Majesty ......" Gonggong Li turned his head to Liu Meiniang and said, there was a look of pleading in his eyes.
Liu Meiniang also remembered that she had seen in a history book that the current emperor has a beloved concubine named Yu Linglong, but this concubine is from southern Xinjiang, so when she favored the sixth palace, she was envied and framed by many people, and there was also opposition from top to bottom.
Looking at Emperor Changping's reaction, he probably looks very similar to Yu Linglong.
"Not Linglong?" Emperor Changping muttered as if he had lost his mind.
But Liu Meiniang and Yu Linglong look too similar, and the clothes are exactly the same, when Yu Linglong was alive, the clothes were very plain, except for the white is snow, the moon is white, and she looks like a fairy who does not eat fireworks in the world.
If Liu Meiniang knew that she deliberately changed into plain clothes in order to see Emperor Changping today, it would cause such an effect, and Liu Meiniang would not change anything.
In fact, Liu Meiniang usually wears clothes without a specific style, just clean and neat. However, if Liu Meiniang chooses, Liu Meiniang still likes colorful clothes. Especially this kind of hanfu, the more colorful it is, the better it looks to wear.
Today is also because she wants to enter the palace, Liu Meiniang knows that there are many warblers and Yanyan in the palace, in order to keep a low profile, Liu Meiniang also specially changed into such a set of clothes that are not fancy.
Gonggong Li helped Emperor Changping to sit back in his original position, Emperor Changping stroked his forehead and closed his eyes for a while, and the hall was so quiet that he could even hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Meiniang's legs were numb, and Emperor Changping opened his eyes.
"You are Zhang Jilin's wife?" The first thing Emperor Changping asked when he opened his mouth turned out to be Liu Meiniang.
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Liu Meiniang replied unhurriedly, hearing Liu Meiniang's voice, Emperor Changping felt a sense of loss in his heart, Liu Meiniang's voice was still different from Linglong's. Yu Linglong has always spoken gently and gently, but Liu Meiniang is clean and hearty, completely two looks.
"What's your name?" Emperor Changping then asked.
"Liu Meiniang." Liu Meiniang lowered her eyelids and replied, but her little hand grabbed Zhang Jilin's big hand, and Liu Meiniang could feel that there was anger on Zhang Jilin, who was standing next to her.
But Liu Meiniang clearly knew that the man sitting above was the current emperor, and Zhang Jirin had to endure it even if he was angry.
"Oh." Emperor Changping let out a faint sigh, and there was silence again.
