Chapter 133: Entering the palace for an audience
When I woke up the next morning, it was still drizzling.
It didn't rain much, but it was cool.
Wei Shaoguang got up very early, and after washing, Xiahou Ming helped her put on a set of gorgeous clothes, saying that the gorgeous clothes were actually more gorgeous than what she usually wears, after all, she did not enter the palace today as an official to meet the emperor, it was essentially a meeting with a little personal nature.
This set of clothes was customized by Li Youguang, and it was just delivered to the house yesterday.
Finally, it was not black, but a complete set of moon-white wide shirts with Confucian costumes, with vermilion edges pressed on the edges, and the moon-white clothes were lightly embroidered with patterns, and even the belt was the same style of vermilion on the outside and moon white on the inside, outlining Wei Shaoguang's very slender waist, and hanging a green onion white ring-shaped jade pendant, under which was a red tassel.
Due to the cold rain and weather, Xiahou Ming added a black cloak to Shaoguang, and it was just right to accompany him.
A red hairband is used to tie the hair, and the end of the hairband is sandwiched between the black hair, looming, very beautiful.
The young man's body is very simple and exquisite, and with her still young face, it is also very eye-catching.
The Zhuangyuan Mansion is on the edge of the imperial city, and fortunately, he held up an oil-paper umbrella and walked to the palace with Ji Tao in the misty autumn rain.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Shaoguang took out his identity waist card and showed it to the guards guarding the door, and the guards treated the popular Sanyuan and the first champion Lang very friendly, and let her in after a few words, and also took a guard to lead Wei Shaoguang, who entered the palace for the first time, to see the emperor.
Qi Guo had a small discussion in five days and a big discussion in ten days, and there happened to be no early dynasty today, only a few ministers went to the Ideological and Political Hall early to discuss important matters with His Majesty the Emperor with important folds, and when the light was shaken, the people inside had not finished discussing, so she took the umbrella and untied her cloak, and stood under the corridor and waited respectfully.
The first close attendant beside His Majesty the Emperor is a shrewd person in his forties, with a good figure, not fat but not too thin, with good facial features, yes, it is the kind of appearance that is particularly upright, especially in line with the traditional Chinese aesthetics, there is no femininity at all, but it is very deterrent and affinity, in short, this is definitely not a simple person, an absolute bigwig-level character, can not be provoked.
This person has a name that is very different from that of ordinary slaves, which was given to him by His Majesty, called Li Jin, and what is special is that the surname Li was also given to him by His Majesty the Emperor.
It is a very honorable thing to give a national surname from a previous dynasty to a slave with a humble status, which shows that this Li Jin has an extraordinary status in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor.
Right now, this real celebrity shook off the dust in his hand and approached the waiting Shaoguang.
Li Jin stopped two steps away and gave Shaoguang a salute, Shaoguang turned to face the person, and calmly replied with a bow.
"Li Lishi, I don't know what you're looking for?"
Wei Shaoguang asked with a smile.
Li Jin looked at this young and promising champion with a smile, the pity in his eyes was so clear that it was impossible to ignore, and he seemed to be very satisfied with this very polite young man.
"The old slave is just afraid that you will be bored, so I have the cheekiness to come and talk to you, and I hope that the adult will not dislike the old slave."
"Hahaha! Li Lishi is really funny when he speaks, how can he be bored waiting for His Majesty outside the palace? You're worried, but thank you very much, you know that you are really nervous in the next place. ”
Wei Shaoguang chuckled and talked to Li Jin, his attitude was not very restrained and slightly nervous, a pair of eyes with a god, and he was full of vivid agility when he turned and moved.
Li Jin looked at him and sighed in his heart, it has been a long time since there has been such a smart person in this palace, and this champion is indeed outstanding.
He cherished his talents, or mixed with a little selfish desire, and tried to remind Wei Shaoguang of something.
"Don't be nervous, my majesty is a gentle gentleman, very kind to the younger generations who understand etiquette and have talents, and also likes to talk with young people for a few games, if you can have a good cup of tea to match, it would be the best, in such weather." Li Jin shook off the dust, looked up at the dripping rain, and said as if recalling, "Sitting at the window with a tea cup and playing chess is the most relaxed time for Your Majesty." ”
Wei Shaoguang listened silently, with a subtle smile on his face, and nodded from time to time, indicating that he was listening carefully to Li Jin's chatter.
"My lord, you haven't entered the early court yet, so you don't have to be afraid of our majesty, your majesty is actually a very amiable person outside the court, and he is also very gentle to the courtiers, although you are entering the palace for the first time today, don't be nervous, believe the old slave, your majesty is not the kind of cruel person......"
The raindrops on the eaves have gradually converged into a bead curtain, and they fall down leisurely on the white jade staircase with a crisp and coherent sound, Wei Shaoguang and Li Jin stood under the corridor and whispered softly, Ji Tao stood farther away, the guards outside the Ideological and Political Hall and the eunuchs waiting for them stood farther away, the hollow door of the Ideological and Political Hall was tightly closed, and the world was very quiet.
Shaoguang carefully remembered the information revealed by Li Jin, and was a little surprised that the celebrity in front of His Majesty would say so much useful information to her, the person he met for the first time today, but he did not express doubts, but listened quietly and very acceptably, and showed his good impression of Li Jin in the end.
Li Jin was even more satisfied, and was very pleased with this sensible, obedient, talking, and young man.
When their exchange came to an end, the door of the study was also opened by the two eunuchs, and Shaoguang hurriedly tidied up his appearance and stood respectfully on both sides of the door, and sent the minister out to leave.
She has not officially entered the Hanlin Academy yet, and even the official mansion has received it, she can be regarded as a reserve official, and her status is a little embarrassing.
She stood on the side and saw a few courtiers who came out, fortunately, these people still knew each other, Fu Weiren on the right, Wang Xuyi on the left, Nalan Sili on the Guozi Priest, Ji Lingzhou on the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Yizhi on the Criminal Department.
These five people had some communication with Shaoguang because of some coincidences, but they were not too embarrassed, and after seeing that they and Li Jin had finished greeting each other, they smiled and took two steps forward to salute them.
It may be that they are still under the corridor of the Ideological and Political Palace, and several people are still in good temper, talking to each other in a friendly manner, and then they hold up umbrellas one by one and step into the rain, but in the end, Fu Weiren is left alone.
Before Shaoguang could come up with something, the right-hand minister who was acting strangely glanced at the inside of the Sizheng Palace, and then suddenly approached Shaoguang, almost as if he was close to his ear, and left a sentence, "Did you sleep well last night?" How about having a glass of wine together? ”
Wei Shaoguang didn't have time to answer, Fu Weiren quickly withdrew and left the Ideological and Political Hall with an oil-paper umbrella, leaving Shaoguang alone with black lines in Li Jin's admiring gaze.
"I heard that Tongguang is also here today, and I am quite happy in my heart."
Before Li Jin could make a loud announcement, Changsun Qian walked out by himself, stood with Shaoguang and looked up at the rain curtain outside, sighed, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I always feel that every time I see Tongguang, I am in a good mood."
"Your Majesty, you are laughing, the appearance of the next can make you happy is the honor of the next three lives."
Wei Shaoguang calmly gave the eldest grandson a scholarly gift, and she could feel that the eldest grandson at this time was afraid that he would not like the great gifts between the monarch and the minister.
Fortunately, the shake light bet was right, and the eldest grandson was very satisfied.
"Tongguang doesn't mind spending more time with me today, right? I've heard that you little devil has a very good tea-making skill, and I'm very curious. ”
"Then I will be ugly today, and I hope Your Majesty can be satisfied with your clumsy skills."
"Hahahaha! Wrestlers! Let's go get things ready. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, wait a minute."
Li Jin was surprised and happy to arrange the chess game and the utensils for making tea.
This new champion is really amazing!
