Chapter 168: Face Saint
Situ Wenxuan was buried, and the two guests, Si Wuming and Shen Jing, were bound to leave the palace.
Shen Jing's meditation residence naturally couldn't go back, and the two thought of finding an inn to live in for a while. Because Shen Jing was at a loss at the moment, she didn't know where she should live under the name Ye Wenxi in the future.
Now that the owner of the palace is a concubine, she naturally kept the two, but the two refused.
The two of them were naturally looking for a good inn in the capital, and Shen Jing thought about putting things in the inn and going out to see in front of Situ Wenxuan's grave. But as soon as the front foot put the luggage in, the back foot was invited to be a guest, and they were invited to be a very special person, the current emperor.
After listening to the Holy Lord's message, Shen Jing subconsciously looked at Si Wuming, but he covered his face with a mask, he couldn't see his expression, his eyes were also lowered, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
"Grass People's Command." When Shen Jing was guessing, Si Wuming had already answered. Also, after all, it is the emperor, how can the secretary be nameless and disobey the order.
Shen Jing couldn't grasp Si Wuming's thoughts, so he didn't dare to ask rashly. However, she didn't have much chance, because the father-in-law who delivered the decree was waiting, and the two had to direct the guards brought by the father-in-law to carry the luggage.
If it weren't for Situ Wenxuan's death, Shen Jing would still be in grief, otherwise she would be very interested in appreciating the palace, after all, once she travels back, no matter how curious she is, she will be curious.
The two were arranged in the guest house, which was generally given to the various vassal kings to live in when they entered Beijing, and Si Wuming and Shen Jing were not close.
After tidying up their appearance, the two were announced to see the emperor together. Naturally, the two didn't communicate much on the way, after all, the palace was too strange a place, and there were people following, so it was inconvenient to talk.
Shen Jing was naturally a little curious about the emperor, but he didn't know what he was doing.
I guessed all the way to the place, not in such a majestic place as the imperial study, but in a pavilion.
Situ Wenshao sat in the pavilion and watched the two approach, Shen Jing of course noticed the emperor's appearance at first sight, and unconsciously showed a slightly surprised and aware look. His face is really exactly the same as Si Wuming, but Si Wuming wears a mask all year round, and he is paler.
As for the eyes, Si Wuming is cold, and the emperor is unfathomable. Shen Jing noticed what he was wearing again, not wearing a yellow dragon robe, but a blue brocade dress.
When Shen Jing was secretly observing, Si Wuming had already knelt down, "The grass people have seen the emperor, long live the emperor." ”
Si Wuming's move frightened Shen Jing, she turned sideways and looked down at Si Wuming in a daze, and suddenly couldn't react to why she knelt down.
Forgive Shen Jing, she didn't even kneel to her parents in her previous life, she didn't go to the temple, and the Bodhisattva didn't kneel, and in this life, she also knelt once when Gan was angry and taught her, and she didn't react at this time, and she was going to kneel when she saw the emperor.
Shen Jing didn't kneel down immediately after reacting, although she said that the person who knew the times was Junjie, but she still couldn't kneel.
"Bold, don't you kneel when you see the emperor?" The father-in-law behind the emperor saw Shen Jing like this, and thought that this woman was too bold.
Si Wuming was also stunned for a moment, looked up at Shen Jing, and was a little crying and laughing for a while, he was in a depressed mood, but now it is much better.
Si Wuming stretched out his hand to pull the corner of Shen Jing's clothes, and explained for Shen Jing: "Because it is the first time for the sister to see the dragon and phoenix among people, she is probably too surprised, and she lost her manners, so the emperor is not to blame." ”
Si Wuming's tone was indifferent, Shen Jing sighed in her heart, she already knew the relationship between Si Wuming and the emperor, and at this time, Si Wuming defended herself in a low voice, so she couldn't bear it, so she wanted to kneel down when she thought about it, and thought that the person in front of her was a piece of wood.
Before Shen Jing knelt down, the emperor had already stopped her, "Forget it, you don't have the courage to be disrespectful to me." ”
The emperor's tone was cold, and it sounded like he was angry, but Shen Jing didn't kneel down again, no matter whether the emperor was sincere or false, she just understood it literally.
Shen Jing didn't kneel, but he still needed to say thank you politely, but just as he wanted to speak, the emperor spoke again, and Shen Jing's words were held back again.
The object of the emperor's speech was not her Shen Jing, but the kneeling Si Wuming.
"Doctor Si get up!" The emperor's tone sounded a little warmer.
"Your Majesty." Si Wuming saluted for several weeks, and kept his head down after getting up.
Shen Jing looked at Si Wuming with some concern, she was worried that Si Wuming would feel uncomfortable. was born from the same root, but his fate was different, Si Wuming probably hated his appearance, otherwise he wouldn't have bothered to study the face change technique.
Shen Jing didn't know the emperor's thoughts about Si Wuming, but looking at the appearance of the two of them not moving through the wind and rain, it seemed that one was more calm than the other.
"All of you go down!" The emperor suddenly spoke, and what only made Shen Jing speechless was, does this package include her? It seems that the emperor just wants to talk to Si Wuming?
Shen Jing didn't move, she lowered her head the same, it was the emperor who announced her coming, so she can be justified here!
Situ Wenshao has been in a high position for a long time, his eyes are like torches, from the moment Shen Jing entered the pavilion, he had already seen her expression, after such a short time, he also concluded that Shen Jing must know the details of Si Wuming, so seeing that she stayed here, he didn't drive anyone away.
"Doctor Si take off the mask, it's really disrespectful to see me like this." Situ Wenshao took a sip of tea slowly, raised his head and said to Si Wuming, his tone was faint and he couldn't hear the emotion.
Shen Jing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he was even more worried. I thought in my heart, it's really a higher status, my mind is so difficult to discern, and I have a bit of an unfathomable feeling.
Shen Jing was worried, and suddenly heard Si Wuming also replied in a light tone: "Please forgive the emperor, the grass people wear masks all the year round, but their appearance is not suitable for seeing people, and if they are removed, they will be even more disrespectful to the emperor." ”
Situ Wenshao hummed meaninglessly, turned his head to look at Shen Jing, and then said to Si Wuming: "Just now, Miss Shen saw me, her face was obviously a little surprised, and then she looked at you again, why do you say this?" ”
Shen Jing glanced at the emperor incomprehensibly, and quickly lowered his head, and was about to explain, when he heard the emperor say: "I asked about Si Wuming." ”
Shen Jing snorted coldly in his heart, very displeased, thinking to himself why the emperor is like this, and why Situ Wenxuan is still so hardworking and resentful to serve him. He just called himself Miss Shen, which means that she knows her identity, and she shouldn't be like this if she relies on Situ Wenxuan's face!
Shen Jing was worried, and heard Si Wuming say: "It's normal for Miss Shen to be surprised when she sees the emperor for the first time!" ”
Shen Jing hurriedly agreed, "Yes, the people's daughter is fortunate to see the emperor's heavenly posture, and she is just surprised." ”
Situ Wenshao sneered, "I've also heard of Miss Shen's deeds, but it's not like such a person." ”
Shen Jing: "......" what kind of person should she be?
Shen Jing scolded a lot and said: "Your Majesty, although the people's daughter is a little deviant, she is still a citizen in the end, how can the emperor be the same as everyone else." ”
Situ Wenshao was choked and snorted from his nostrils, "Miss Shen is really eloquent." ”
Shen Jing lowered his head and didn't refute, and Situ Wenshao didn't intend to listen to what she explained, so he turned his gaze to Si Wuming again, and said slowly: "Miss Shen, I am surprised that you and I have the same appearance. ”
Shen Jing looked up at the emperor, it was very disrespectful, but she didn't care, and just as she was about to open her mouth to speak, she was stopped by Si Wuming. Si Wuming also looked up at the emperor, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Since the emperor knows, why do you still want to take off the masks of the grass people?" After all, you know what the grass people look like. ”
Situ Wenshao was choked again, in fact, he didn't know why he wanted to see his appearance, for Si Wuming, his thoughts were also complicated, on the one hand, this was his half-brother, who could have been a respected prince, or that his position might have been his, but he was abandoned since he was a child.
Thinking of this throne, Situ Wenshao was a little jealous of the person in front of him, after all, if he wanted to replace himself, it was okay, unless he died, but if Situ Wenshao had to find a reason to dispose of him, he really couldn't do that again.
The word contradiction. To sum up, Situ Wenshao's thoughts about Si Wuming are like this.
Situ Wenshao lowered his eyebrows, so that Shen Jing couldn't see what he was thinking. After Si Wuming said that, Situ Wenshao remained silent, as if he was thinking and playing a game.
Shen Jing felt that this kind of silence gave people a kind of pressure for no reason, and she was a little uncomfortable, or she was a little uncomfortable from the moment she came in. Situ Wenshao didn't speak, and Si Wuming and Shen Jing naturally didn't dare to speak easily.
"Miss Shen, let's leave for a while! I had a few words with Doctor Si alone. ”
I don't know how long I was silent, Situ Wenshao finally spoke, raised his head and said to Shen Jingdao.
Shen Jing frowned, and looked at Si Wuming with some concern. Si Wuming gave her a reassuring look, Situ Wenshao saw it in his eyes, and snorted coldly: "Miss Shen, do you think that I am the kind of person who bullies others arbitrarily?" ”
Shen Jing replied yes in his heart, but the words he opened his mouth were: "The emperor is joking, the emperor is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, and he has the people of Li in the world in his heart, and the people and his brother are also part of the people of Li, how can the emperor bully us?" After a pause, he said: "Besides, even if the emperor bullies his brother-in-law, the people's daughter is also a weak woman, and she can't help much." ”
Shen Jing said this, just to block Situ Wenshao, so that he had no face to do anything out of the ordinary at the moment, and after speaking, he didn't wait for Situ Wenshao to say anything, and continued: "The folk girl retreated first." As he spoke, he turned around.
"Hmph, what kind of vision does the third brother have to take a fancy to such a woman." The emperor is young in the end, although he is also calm, but he still feels incredible.
Si Wuming smiled lowly, Situ Wenshao was talking to himself and didn't need to answer, but Si Wuming still answered, he said: "Miss Shen is a little special, she once said that the emperor is the most tired and lonely person in this world. ”
Si Wuming seemed to be helping Shen Jing speak, and he seemed to be talking about himself.
When Situ Wenshao heard this, he was stunned, and muttered to himself: "Really? ”
