Chapter 602: Isn't it good to be a celebrity?
The palace guards showed their waist cards, how dare the servants of the Chengjun Palace's palace let the emperor wait, and opened the door immediately.
Three inconspicuous carriages and four guards in civilian clothes entered the county king's mansion.
The carriage stopped, and Sun Congshan had already gotten off the carriage one step earlier, waiting by the carriage with four eunuchs, and helping the emperor down.
In the palace of the county king, servants from near and far saw the old man in bright yellow robe who got off the carriage, and they were shocked, and they all knelt on the ground.
The emperor looked around and sighed incessantly: "Looking back, the last time I came here was twenty years ago. Twenty years have passed like a white horse. ”
Sun Congshan echoed on the side: "Yes, time flies so fast, and the palace doesn't seem to have changed much." ”
As he spoke, King Chengjun had already arrived in a hurry with his ten-year-old eldest son, as well as his staff Jiang Hanwen and the housekeeper.
At this time, among the emperor's party, the four eunuchs and eight guards in the other two carriages were already standing behind the emperor.
"The minister greets the emperor." King Chengjun and others took off their robes and knelt to worship.
The emperor took a step forward, smiled and hugged King Chengjun, and said, "No need to be polite. I was still sighing just now, when I was the prince before, I would come to your house from time to time to play, and time flies so fast. ”
Although King Chengjun was supported, he still bowed and saluted: "The minister is very honored." ”
The emperor looked at the kneeling people behind King Chengjun and waved his hand: "Get up." ”
The emperor's tone was kind, and the worried hearts of King Chengjun and Jiang Hanwen and others calmed down a little. It's just that the emperor didn't even say hello, and suddenly came, and he didn't know what was going on.
Next, I heard the emperor say: "I heard that the king of the county recently received a masterpiece of Tao Gong, and I came to take a look. ”
It turned out that it was for this, King Chengjun smiled politely: "It's just a painting, it's not worth anything." If Your Majesty likes it, the minister will give it to Your Majesty. ”
"How? A gentleman does not take the good of others. As he spoke, the Emperor half-turned and looked at the carriage in which he was riding.
King Chengjun and the others also followed the emperor's line of sight.
Could it be that there are still people in the carriage? Who is so big, for a long time, and still sitting in the carriage?
Then, I saw two eunuchs come forward and help down the two costumed palace people from the car in turn.
After seeing the appearance of these two palace people, King Chengjun and Jiang Hanwen were nervous.
These two dressed palace people are Qian Jiaojiao and Deng Xiaoliu, who they sent to the palace three years ago.
The concubines around the emperor naturally can't allow others to look at them directly. The two of them had this reason, so they hurriedly lowered their heads, hiding the emotions in their hearts, and quickly turned various thoughts.
Did the emperor know? Could it be that these two sluts are snitching?
Or did the emperor discover Ni Duan and torture him to ask the inside story?
King Chengjun had all kinds of thoughts in his heart.
Although he had seen these two women, his appearance changed a little when he saw them for safety. Moreover, he only arranged for her to do things and promised them a bright future, but did not reveal his own identity.
Even if the emperor found out that something was wrong and tortured these two people to extract confessions, it would be impossible to find him here.
Or is their news too lagging behind, these two women have actually charmed the emperor, so much so that the emperor will take them with him when he leaves the palace?
The emperor's expression was still gentle, and he walked towards the living room of the outer courtyard of the palace without anyone leading him.
For the Chengwang Mansion, where the pattern has not changed much, the general direction of the living room is still known to the emperor.
What's more, in the past three years, the emperor has paid unprecedented attention to the Chengjun Palace, and his understanding of this place is even greater than in the past.
King Chengjun hurriedly followed, and the moment he turned around, his gaze quickly crossed the faces of Qian and Deng.
I saw that the faces of the two were full of ignorance, and in the ignorance, there was also a fear of the uncertain future.
King Chengjun's heart sank even more, and while he followed the emperor forward, he gave the butler beside him a fierce look.
The housekeeper Ge Quan received the signal, and felt that at this moment, his heart trembled fiercely. But the matter has come to this point, if the prince's affairs are revealed, it will be a capital crime, and they can't be allowed to think about it, they must always try to fight.
He hurriedly stepped back, bowed to the side, and greeted the group as they walked past him in turn.
The emperor did not notice that the palace butler did not follow, and according to his memory, he went to the waiting room in the outer courtyard of the palace. The rest of the people followed, leaving Ge Quan behind.
In front of the door of the living room, the four palace guards stepped into the house first, and after a quick check, there was nothing wrong, and then respectfully invited the emperor in.
The living room of the king of Chengjun, who is known as a celebrity, is different from other homes, and the furniture is all simple and elegant. There are also several fans and calligraphy and paintings, which are also extraordinary.
There is a painting in a prominent position on the wall, called Hollow Valley Orchid, with a small poem in the upper left corner. The inscription of the painting is Chengjun Wang, and it is stamped with a seal.
The emperor walked around the room and praised King Chengjun's painting skills very much, and then sat down on the main seat. The two palace people of Qian Deng were already standing on the side of the main seat, standing in fear.
Although the two of them have beautiful makeup, they can hardly hide their hasty looks. Until now, neither of them knew why the emperor had brought them out, and they were facing many men.
King Chengjun and others gave the emperor a salute again, and then they were also given a seat by the emperor and sat down in the next position in turn.
Under the assignment of Sun Congshan, the maids of the palace sorted out tea, snacks and other things and handed them over to the four eunuchs. Then the eunuch changed hands, and the same was given to everyone present.
The study servant of the county king's mansion was also greeted, and he had already brought Tao Gong's landscape paintings. There are also several scrolls, which are also masterpieces of calligraphy and painting collected by King Chengjun.
The emperor didn't delay much effort, chatted with King Chengjun for a few words, drank half a cup of tea, got up, and stood still in front of the long case where the calligraphy and paintings were placed.
It seems that the living room of the Chengjun Palace's residence is often used to receive connoisseurs, and the calligraphy and painting works are unfolded in front of the long case, which is very convenient and comfortable to watch.
Looking at the calligraphy and paintings one by one, King Chengjun was still thinking about the investigation on the housekeeper's side while explaining. If there is anything abnormal, the housekeeper should arrange it.
If the Emperor does learn that he is rebellious, he intends to take this opportunity to clean up. In the face of raiding his house and destroying the door, he had to fight to the death, and the housekeeper had followed him for so many years, and he was one of the few people he trusted the most, and he could mobilize the samurai in the house.
Until a few paintings were appreciated, everything was business as usual.
The Emperor sat back on his throne and took a cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
After a while, he said in a very light tone: "It can be seen that over the years, the king of the county has a lot of skills in painting and calligraphy appreciation. ”
"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and the minister's kung fu is still far behind." King Chengjun said modestly.
The emperor didn't seem to hear it, and then said, "Isn't it good to be a real celebrity?" ”
