Chapter 23: Entering the court for the first time

"General, it's time to get up!" Thinking that he was about to see the emperor, Xu Mengmeng nervously burned cakes on the bed all night, and finally became a little sleepy, but before he could close his eyes, he heard Chi Yu's piercing magic sound.

"Akabane, are we getting up early? Why don't I go back and lie down for a while? Unwilling to get up from the bed, as soon as he pushed open the door and looked at the sky outside that was not yet fully bright, the whole person was like a frosted eggplant, were the ancient people so diligent? This is simply abuse of minors!

"It's not early, it's the end of the year now, the early dynasty time is three quarters, and it takes about two minutes from Fuzhong to Jinluan Palace, and the general doesn't want to be late on the first day!"

"Yes, yes, I'll pack up and set off immediately!" Xu Mengmeng nodded a few times, went out to find the kitchen, brushed his teeth and washed his face with cold water, and the whole person was a lot more sober.

got off the sedan chair in front of the palace gate, under the guidance of a eunuch, Xu Mengmeng soon arrived at the Jinluan Palace, there were already a lot of officials who arrived at that time, some of them gathered together in twos and threes and talked in a low voice, but a few middle-aged people standing in front of them did not participate, and they were a cold fan, Xu Mengmeng guessed that they should be the old ministers of this dynasty.

In front of them stood three figures, their clothes decorated with more solemn decorations than the others, and they should be those adult princes.

Seeing Xu Mengmeng wearing a mask walking in, everyone looked at her curiously, and several princes turned their heads and smiled at her.

The man standing near the middle aisle was a little stronger than the other two, his appearance was not very good, his skin was yellowish, although he was an adult, he looked a little tiger-headed, and when he laughed, his eyes were honest and with a faint arrogance.

This should be Sima Hao, the third prince of straw bales!

The person in the middle is very familiar to her, no, it should be said that the original body is very familiar. Five Princes! He is not as melancholy and lonely as he was a few months ago, and his whole person exudes elegance and self-confidence, which should come from the letter that brought him, from the affirmation of the emperor and the ministers.

He has fair skin, and although his facial features are not outstanding, they work well together, and they will not surprise people, but they will not be dull enough to be ignored. If such a look is paired with a melancholy or lonely temperament, it will make people feel sorry for him inexplicably; When paired with today's elegance and confidence, it gives people a sense of comfort like a spring breeze.

"Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world" is the most appropriate to describe! It seems that in the memory of the original body, his mother was such a temperament before she died. is such a handsome gentleman, no wonder the original sister Bai Wanyu was infatuated with him at the beginning.

His smile was not arrogant, but polite and polite, as if he didn't know that Xu Mengmeng was the one who sent the letter, and the two had never crossed paths.

The rest of the one should be the eight-sided exquisite Seventh Prince Sima Xun!

His appearance is completely inconsistent with his temperament, his facial features are slightly feminine's delicate, but between his eyebrows there is a man's flamboyance and heroism, a very stunning and attractive face!

As for the temperament, it is the kind of casual and cute, and there is no pride of the royal family's children, it looks like a child who has not grown up, which makes people easy to get close to and cherish.

Such a look and temperament, coupled with his curious eyes and harmless smile at this time, is really very confusing, no wonder he can become the favorite one of the Eastern Jin Emperor!

Xu Mengmeng, who was in the court for the first time, didn't know how the ministers of the early Eastern Jin Dynasty were standing, and was about to find a corner behind the ministers to stay, when he heard the voice of the three princes of the straw bales.

"General Ning, you just stand next to Wang Shangshu!" He shouted as he pointed to the back of his side.

"Thank you, Third Prince!" Being watched by everyone, Xu Mengmeng had no choice but to step forward and look around by the way.

Well, Wang Shangshu on the left is rugged, in his forties, with a strong figure, he should be a military attaché, and the red-clothed official on the right is also a man in his thirties, and he looks quite powerful, so he should also be a military attaché!

Hey, his official uniform seems to be dark red, and the officials on the other side are all dark blue like Song Jinyan, which means that the position of the early Eastern Jin Dynasty is actually a civil official and a military attache standing on the other!

"Rather ......"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" The third prince of straw bales was about to pull Xu Mengmeng to contact his feelings again, when the voice of the waiter sounded, and Xu Mengmeng quietly breathed a sigh of relief. I really don't want to be in the lineup of a group of pig teammates!

With the same pale face and a trademark low cough, Xu Mengmeng looked at the figure who came out of the side hall.

Speaking of which, the appearance of the crown prince Sima Ze is not inferior to that of the seventh prince Sima Xun, but it is different from the amazing feeling that Sima Xun gives people, Sima Ze is gentle and humble in both appearance and temperament, noble and elegant but without a sense of distance.

But perhaps because of his long-term illness, there is a faint depression wrapped around his eyebrows, and with that bloodless face, he is not as likable as Sima Xun.

The third prince sent medicine to pull himself into his command, so why did the prince who followed him send someone to deliver medicine? It's impossible to show yourself that it's okay?

Sure enough, his little cleverness is not enough to see in this deep palace!

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy!"

"Emperor Xie!"

"General Ning is here?"

"Weichen is here" Xu Mengmeng had just finished saluting with everyone and was about to take a peek at the sky, when he was caught off guard and was named, and hurriedly stood in the middle aisle.

The moment their eyes met, Xu Mengmeng subconsciously lowered his head, but he didn't remember the face of the person on the dragon chair at all in his mind, and the only thing he remembered was that pair of eyes with a special sense of existence.

is really worthy of a generation of emperors, although she is no longer young and vigorous, but the depth and sharpness in her eyes still make her heart beat a little.

"Ning Jun, at your young age, you have no fear in the face of the enemy's army of more than 100,000 people, you have wisely retreated from foreign enemies, and you have worked hard to protect my territory in the Eastern Jin Dynasty! Be an example for my sons and daughters of the Eastern Jin Dynasty! ”

Although Sima Wei's words sounded like a heartfelt appreciation, Xu Mengmeng was stunned to hear a hint of temptation from his tone, and even the gaze that fell on her at this time was full of inquiry, not real curiosity.

This man's suspicion is really serious!

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment! Defending the Eastern Jin Dynasty is a matter within the responsibility of the ministers! Don't dare to say hard work! ”

In order to dispel Sima Ji's suspicions, Xu Mengmeng's eyes flashed with joy and pride, truly like a recognized hairy young man.

"Good, good! In the future, the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing will be under your command! ”

Hearing this, Sima Wei's gaze on Xu Mengmeng narrowed a little, but he still habitually tried to speak again.

"Yes, Wechen obeys! Thank you for your grace! ”

Xu Mengmeng's face was excited, so happy that he didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and the cold in his heart surged up.

At the same time, because he was too excited, his hand "accidentally" touched off the mask on his face, revealing a slightly stumbling face, and in an instant, the ministers and the emperor who had marriageable daughters shook their heads in their hearts.

Oh, that's a pity! Unexpectedly, all the preferential treatment given by God to General Ning was focused on force and intelligence! Not to mention a large black birthmark on the right cheek, there is still such a long scar under the left eye, hey, I am afraid that there is no woman in the world who does not dislike it!

Seeing this, Sima Jian finally withdrew that glance and started today's court discussion.
