Chapter 319: South Vietnam Again
"Wow, master, we have finally come to the palace of Nanyue Kingdom!"
After a few days of bumpy carriages, the master and servant of the water condensation smoke finally stood on the periphery of the palace of the king of Nanyue at this moment. Shui Ningyan looked at the familiar scene around him and couldn't help but sigh. When she was here, she helped Dongfang Lie regain the throne, and it had been almost half a year since she calculated.
Too much has happened in the past six months, and for a while there is really such a feeling that things are people and everything is resting. After a long time, Shui Ningyan lost her thoughts, and reached out to her waist to find the jade pendant that Dongfang Lie had given her before, but after looking for a long time, she found nothing. At that moment, she secretly shouted badly: the last time she was in the General's Mansion, she changed her clothes and put the jade pendant on the dresser.
"Master, what's wrong? Didn't you find the jade pendant that the king of Nanyue gave you? Seeing her young lady's frowning face, Lime couldn't help but ask.
Shui Ningyan shook his head and said, "I fell into the mansion last time." ”
"Oh, there is no token of the king of Nanyue, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to enter the palace." He Shou couldn't help but say.
"Forget it, it's just a matter of luck for now." Shui Ningyan groaned slightly.
The five of their masters and servants came all the way to Nanyue Kingdom, and if they didn't see Dongfang Lie because of a piece of jade pendant, it would be too much of a loss.
"Let's go." At that moment, Shui Ningyan made up his mind, and the five masters and servants walked towards the guards guarding the palace gate.
"Brother Guard, our master has something to see your king." Ji Yu stepped forward and greeted the guards guarding the door.
When the guard guarding the door saw the smoke in men's clothes, he was stunned for a moment, and then ran to the leader who happened to be patrolling, and whispered. I don't know what the guard said to the leader, and the leader suddenly looked towards the water condensation.
The water condensation was seen from head to foot, and the leader's eyes were shocked, confused, and excited...... In short, it should be mixed feelings, and Shui Ningyan suddenly has a creepy feeling.
"Master, the leader and the guards don't know what they're talking about, it's been so long, and they're still talking." Lime frowned.
"Yes, master, why does the slave feel like she is being targeted by a snake." He Shou said timidly.
"Master, we won't meet bad people, right?" Ruofeng said vigilantly.
"Master, it's better for us to find an inn to live in and rest first, and then think about it in the long run." Ji Yu suggested.
"Okay, let's find a place to rest first, it's really a little tired of rushing these days." Shui Ningyan said.
At this time, she couldn't figure out what the leader and the guards were thinking, and in order to avoid complications, she felt that it was indeed better to find a place to rest first.
At that moment, when the five masters and servants were about to leave, the leader and the guards saw this, and hurriedly caught up and asked, "This son, may I ask if you are from the Dongli Kingdom?" ”
Shui Ningyan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "How do you know?" ”
The leader and the guards were suddenly overjoyed, and couldn't help but ask again: "Excuse me, are you called Shui Ningyan?" ”
"yes." At this moment, Shui Ningyan's eyes widened, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The leader said happily to the guards: "It's a native of Dongli Country, and there is nothing wrong with his name and appearance, it seems that it will not be wrong." ”
Without waiting for Shui Ningyan to ask again, the leader's attitude was even more respectful, and he said very politely: "Shui Gongzi, are you going to enter the palace?" This side please. ”
Shui Ningyan nodded, and said in her heart: No matter why the leader knows his name, Dongfang Lie is the boss here when she enters the palace, and no one should harm her.
I don't bother to ask so much at the moment. As soon as he entered the city gate, the leader saw a chubby eunuch, so he hurriedly chased after him and said, "Father-in-law, this is our king's honored guest, please lead the way." ”
After the words fell, the leader approached the eunuch called Father-in-law Xi and whispered a few words, Father-in-law Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a happy face: "Okay, okay, our family knows, you can rest assured." ”
At this time, Father-in-law Xi didn't know what to say to a little attendant beside him, and the little eunuch ran inside. The leader turned to Shui Ningyan and said, "Young Master Ye, I have to go to other palace gates to inspect my humble position, and I can't show you the way, I hope you will forgive me." ”
Shui Ningyan nodded lightly and said, "It's okay, please." ”
Immediately, Gonggong Xi walked forward along the avenue paved with white marble with the five masters and servants of the water condensation smoke.
As soon as the leader returned to the palace gate, the two guards came over and asked, "Chief, what do you say, the portrait that the king sent down to the various city gates is obviously a woman, why does the prince just now look almost exactly the same as the person in the portrait?" ”
When the leader heard this, he shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. But the name, Dongli Guoren's name, these are not wrong. I think he is the person the king has confessed. ”
At this time, a guard pondered for a while, and said in disbelief: "Boss, do you say that our king is also a man, so in order to avoid embarrassment, he deliberately painted the person he was thinking about as a woman?" ”
The other guard immediately said, "Hey, don't say it, it seems to be the case!" ”
When the leader heard this, he was so angry that he knocked on the heads of the two guards, and said angrily: "Rabbit cub, don't say it if you know, just understand it in your heart." Beware of the misfortune that comes out of the mouth! ”
"Yes, yes, sir!" At that moment, the two guards were so frightened that they kept looking around, making sure that no one else heard their conversation, and then they were relieved.
The sunset is picturesque. The sun is slowly setting in the west, and the whole sky is slightly orange, and everything is bathed in a glorious scenery. Father-in-law Xi leads the way in front, along the way to see all the pavilions and pavilions, the palace is majestic, the corridor is winding, and it is beautiful.
Suddenly, Shui Ningyan saw several palace maids and eunuchs coming in front of him, one of which was the little eunuch who was following Gonggong Xi just now. The little eunuch said a few words to Gonggong Xi, who immediately turned around and said with great respect to Shui Ningyan: "Young Master Shui, the king already knows that you are coming, please go to Qingyang Hall to talk about it, as for these entourages of yours, they will send people to serve them." ”
When Lime and the others heard this, they hurriedly whispered: "Master." ”
Seeing the uneasiness and worry in the eyes of Lime and the others, Shui Ningyan comforted: "You can rest assured, it will be fine." Let's go and rest first. I'll go to you when I'm done. ”
"Alright then, be careful, master."
At that moment, Lime turned around and left. Father-in-law Xi led the way, walked to a fork in the road, and greeted with a smile: "Shui Gongzi, please come here." ”
Shui Ningyan nodded, and immediately asked the doubts that had been circling in his heart, "By the way, Gonggong Xi, why did the leader at the city gate just now know where I am from and know my name?" ”
Gonggong Xi was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "Shui Gongzi doesn't know yet, about half a year ago, our king sent portraits of Gongzi to various city gates, telling those guards guarding the gate that if they see you one day, they will approach you alive." ”
As soon as these words came out, Shui Ningyan was shocked. Half a year ago? Wasn't that the time she had been out of here? At this time, there is an astringent warm thing in my heart.
For a long time, the corners of her lips curled slightly. I didn't expect Dongfang Lie, who seems to be unruly and cold, to have such a careful and tender side. It's just that this guy used the wrong object, and I'm afraid that she will lose him after all in this life.
I was thinking about it in my heart, when I saw a palace maid with a slightly older grade in front of me hurrying over, and said, "Father-in-law, you let me look for it!" ”
As soon as Father-in-law Xi saw the person, he hurriedly trotted over, and said with some surprise: "Aunt Moshuang, what are you looking for in our family?" ”
The palace maid in charge, who was called Moshuang, hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Xi combs his hair well, Concubine De has only woken up from a nap until now, and now I'm looking for you everywhere, it's good that you're lazy to come here!" ”
When Father-in-law Xi heard this, he was so frightened that his face suddenly turned green, and he said eagerly: "Aunt Moshuang misunderstood, our family has been a little upset in the past two days, and I saw that Concubine De had not woken up from her nap, so I came out to get the medicine." Whoever thinks forgets the hour. ”
Mo Shuang snorted coldly, and immediately glanced at his father-in-law, and said, "Anyway, my words have been brought, and Niangniang still has something to tell me to do." Farewell. The words fell, and the ink cream brushed his sleeves and walked away.
"Oh, how is this good? How is it good? "Father-in-law Xi was so anxious that he went around in place.
Seeing this, Shui Ningyan said loudly: "If Gonggong Xi has something important, just go and get busy." ”
When Gonggong Xi heard this, he was happy at first, and then frowned and said, "But, you ...... Shui Gongzi."
The son of the jade tree in front of him is a distinguished guest of the emperor, and he must not be neglected. But Concubine De is very difficult, and she is also a master who can't be provoked. For a while, I really didn't know what to do.
Shui Ningyan said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about me, I will stay in this palace for a while, go to Qingyang Hall to know how to go, if you don't know the way, you can meet the palace maid and eunuch and ask at that time." ”
Seeing that Shui Ningyan was so easy to speak, Father-in-law Xi was very grateful at the moment, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "Then the old slave will thank Shui Gongzi." From here, go all the way forward, and the largest palace after the Imperial Garden is the Qingyang Palace. The water boy was careful all the way, and the old slave took the first step. ”
"Hello father-in-law, please."
Father-in-law Xi nodded, and then hurried away.
Seeing that Grandpa Xi was almost trotting, Shui Ningyan couldn't help but shake his head and sighed. A harem concubine just gets up and combs her hair, and there are so many exquisitenesses, it is simply hypocritical to the extreme. Father-in-law Xi was so nervous just now, thinking that this Concubine De was definitely not a good lord.
Thinking of this, Shui Ningyan couldn't help but laugh at himself. Who that Concubine De is, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with her at all. Why should she judge others. Without Xigong to lead the way, Shui Ningyan unconsciously slowed down, and walked forward while enjoying the scenery of the palace. However, he didn't know that the lord in the Qingyang Hall had been waiting impatiently.
