Chapter VII
With a long period of embarrassment and Anping's laughter, he finally heard the announcement from outside the door, and Yonghe was late. When he sat down, Anping couldn't wait to tell him about the embarrassment that had just happened, I was weak-hearted, and I immediately picked up the chopsticks, grabbed a chicken leg and stuffed it into her bowl: "Anping Niangniang, you eat chicken legs, eat chicken legs."
King Yonghe frowned slightly, as if he sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and when he was about to speak, I hurriedly stuffed a chicken leg to him: "The prince has worked hard, he is tired for a day, let's eat early."
Because of my enthusiasm, King Yonghe was quite flattered, and instantly smiled, and nodded with relief: "I miss Princess Lao Muxia." The princess is delicate, but she is more considerate of her elders than a child. ”
This praise is really embarrassing.
"Lord Wang, you call me lacking, it's more cordial."
The King of Yonghe gestured. Looking back at his wife, he smiled and took the chopsticks of her favorite dish, and whispered, "When I first entered the door, I heard your hearty laughter." Why are you so happy, you might as well tell me about it. ”
I was startled, and I clenched my palms in shock. Although Baili is kind and open-minded, and he is extremely tolerant of the younger generations, it is just that what happened just now can't be brought to the table, and it is immoral~
I was so anxious that my face was flushed, and I wanted to stop it, but I didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two of them, so I kept glaring at An Ping, begging her not to say it.
An Ping pretended to cough, hid his face and smiled, and whispered a few words in Baili's ear.
I saw Baili's eyebrows raised and released, his expression changed several times, he couldn't see that he was angry or happy, and he looked at me and Changji with a careful look, and didn't say much. With a smile, he put the chopsticks in my bowl, and added chopsticks to Changji in the same way: "Eat, eat." The dishes are almost cold. ”
Changji secretly glanced at me, and between the four eyes, he immediately looked away and looked away. People who have always been smug are shy like this, and I don't think it's funny.
I never raised my head during the whole meal, my eyes were as round as possible, my mouth was as wide as possible, and I wanted to end the meal quickly, and the eating appearance was extremely ugly. As soon as he raised his head, he met a burning gaze: "Lord Wang, do you have anything to say?" ,
Baili wanted to stop talking, stopped talking, and finally flicked his hand and said, "Nothing is wrong."
When I returned to my residence after I was full of wine and food, the attendants who came to the palace to deliver the message had been waiting for a long time, and my leg was hurting. After that, he hurriedly returned to the palace to resume his life without even begging for a reward, and the palace door would be locked, so he dared to stay.
I lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep, and my mind was full of thoughts about entering the palace tomorrow.
The next day, before dawn, I got up early to make up.
……
"Your Majesty has had a lot of trivial matters recently, and Your Majesty has to take care of them one by one, so I haven't let the princess enter the palace for a long time, and I hope the princess will forgive me." The person who said this was the popular head of the chamberlain next to Nandi, who was about thirty years old, burly and tall, just because the chamberlain was very pale and did not have a beard, otherwise it would be credible to say that he was a guard. I smiled and nodded, and followed him in a proper manner.
Happy with a serious expression, steady steps but fast walking, I hurried to catch up with his speed, and secretly slandered the supervisor for not being worthy of the name. Although the name is festive, people have nothing to do with festivity, looking at it without smiling, doing things at a glance, it is very scary, where are you happy!
Happy suddenly stopped, his expression was indifferent and slightly unreserved, but he leaned over and spoke in a very gentle tone: "The princess thinks that our family is too quick to catch up, if so, then let's go slower."
I smiled politely, shook my head, and said, "No need father-in-law, I can catch up." Just go and ignore me. ”
The happy pace slowed down significantly, and Wan Er said: "Your Majesty should still be discussing matters now, let's go to the Qingle Palace first, and wait for Your Majesty to meet the princess when he returns to the next court."
I held my breath, slightly sluggish, and hesitated for a long time before I stammered and asked, "Father-in-law, what does Your Majesty say about summoning me into the palace this time?"
Happy shook his head and said, "I don't know."
I said again: "Your Majesty summoned me to the palace, could it be that I did something wrong?"
The palace attendants who followed behind him were shocked when they heard this, looked left and right, and secretly spoke. I heard a squirming voice behind me: how could this alien princess be so open-mouthed.
Happy suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty's meaning, which can only be guessed by slaves." As for what you are summoned to the palace, Your Majesty did not say, and the servants have no way of knowing, but in short, it is good, and the princess is relieved. The words fell, and I moved on.
Duobu tugged at the corner of my shirt and shook his head. I understood in my heart, and even if I had a stomach full of questions, I would not ask any more questions.
As he spoke, a group of palace people came to him, all of them were well-looking little palace maids, holding all kinds of utensils in their hands. One of them, the young Gong'e, held the scrolls piled high and followed the team step by step, and the appearance of the struggle was very witty and interesting, I couldn't help but look at it more, and the corners of my mouth hooked up a smile. Xiao Gong'e raised her head to meet my gaze, hurriedly turned her head and met the indifferent expression of happiness, and when she shook her body with excitement, the scroll in her arms fell and rolled to my feet. I bent down and was about to pick it up, but the little palace maid was startled again, and hurriedly leaned down to pick up the scroll, but when I bent down, I also knocked out the other paintings, but fortunately the ground was clean and the paper did not stain.
Gong E in front had already walked away, leaving only the fallen thing still picking up the painting on the ground, I leaned down and picked up the painting scroll at my feet, dusted it off and handed it back to her, spit out the words as clearly as possible, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you pick it up slowly."
Xiao Gong'e smiled, her face flushed slightly, and she blessed her body and said, "Thank you, noble."
Xingxing frowned, and scolded sternly: "Such a clumsy thing, send the painting scroll back to the painting academy, and go to Fuqing Palace to receive the punishment by yourself."
Xiao Gong'e was stunned for a moment, her face was shocked, and she stood still tremblingly, but she didn't open her mouth to argue for herself, only silently lowered her eyes. I didn't have a smile on my face, the corners of my mouth twitched and I didn't know what to say, I wanted to say a few words of intercession for this palace maid, and avoid her punishment but I didn't dare to speak rashly, after all, I was embarrassed, I couldn't be the master, don't help others and increase her punishment.
Happy and sharply commanded left and right: "You all give me a little more careful, you can't afford to break the master's things." ”
I listened carefully with my ears pricked up, and the hand hidden in my sleeve tugged at the cuff tightly, and the good mood just now was completely gone. With a happy please, the long line moved on.
Qingle Palace is located outside the Zuoye Gate at the southwest end of the imperial city, and the Wuji Hall of the Southern Emperor is in the northeast of the imperial city, and it takes an hour to travel back and forth. Duobu felt the atmosphere for this, and said that from the perspective of etiquette, it was obviously slack. I don't understand the main point, so I naturally feel that it doesn't matter much, it's just a few more steps, and I'm still happy on my face. Duobu is older than me, and her mind is precocious, although I don't understand, but she can understand these twists and turns, but she doesn't say it but has a gloomy face.
