Chapter 211: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Due to the fatigue of the past few days, Hua Xiyan woke up on the second day and was close to midnight.
Hua Xiyan only brought Wen Xia and Xun Qiu into Beijing this time. In the past nearly a year, Wen Xia has become a lot calmer, and Xun Qiu is alert and intelligent, and the cooperation of these two has saved Hua Xiyan a lot of things, which can be called a right-hand man.
Aunt Ying was waiting outside the door, and when she heard a movement in the room, she immediately pushed the door in, saw Hua Xiyan sit up, and asked in a clear voice: "Miss said that she entered the palace today, but she wants to go back after noon?" ”
"No need, go now." Hua Xiyan took the clothes on the side and draped them on his body, and said without saltiness.
Generally speaking, if you enter the palace, you should choose the morning and wait for an hour in the palace to show your respect for the imperial power. Now Hua Xiyan is like this, with a faint hint of letting the emperor wait for him, so as to silently express his dissatisfaction with yesterday's holy decree.
"Prepare something, I'll use it in the carriage." Hua Xiyan knew that the emperor would never leave himself for dinner at noon, so he made plans for his stomach.
Aunt Ying was ordered to go down and prepare, and half an hour later, Hua Xiyan sat on the carriage and headed towards the palace gate.
Hua Xiyan didn't sleep early yesterday, because he was thinking about the news that Feng Yin brought back to him - Yun Qi left Beijing,
It is said that Mrs. Shangshu, who is Yun Qi's biological mother, is seriously ill, and Yun Qi went to the Tianshan Mountains to find the nine-petal snow lotus to continue his mother's life, so he left again as soon as he returned to Beijing.
Hua Xiyan held his forehead a little helplessly, thinking if the emperor had specially chosen Yun Qi to come to him when he was not happy, otherwise he would not have left Yun Qi on the front foot, and he would have given himself this holy decree of marriage on the back foot.
Besides, the matter between himself and Yun Qi is no longer a secret, is it really good for the emperor to beat the mandarin ducks?
The palace is located in the southwest of the middle of the capital, which is very close to the palace, so it is only a cup of tea.
There is a small sedan car parked at the gate of the palace, which is to take Huaxi smoke into the palace, and it has been waiting for some time to see this situation.
Hua Xiyan stepped forward with a skirt, and saw a woman dressed as a female official standing in front of the sedan chair, about thirty years old, a pair of sharp eyes were staring at Hua Xiyan who was coming in steps, and the thin sweat on her forehead showed the time she was waiting, but there was no look on her face.
At first glance, he is a person who has been trained for a long time and is extremely calm, Hua Xiyan secretly made a definition in his heart.
"The minister's name is Xiuyan, and she is a female official next to the queen's mother, and she is waiting for Miss Wang Er here."
The first-class female officials around the palace concubine are all out of slavery, no different from the ministers of the previous dynasty, so they all call themselves ministers. Just such a title is enough to make people see the experience and qualifications, and make people awe-inspired.
"Thank you, Queen." Hua Xiyan nodded with a smile, with a flattered look on his face.
Xiuyan was not complacent because of Hua Xiyan's flattery, obviously used to the ups and downs of this world, but said in a light but polite tone: "Miss Wang Er, please get on the sedan chair." ”
Hua Xiyan didn't immediately pull the curtain in, but said with a smile: "Don't hide it, my lord, this time I entered the palace to ask for guilt, and I don't dare to take this sedan chair." Thinking of going on foot to ask my emperor for guilt, but there is also a bit of sincerity, and it is more likely to win my emperor's understanding, but the lord said that this is the case? ”
"My emperor is generous and sagely, so naturally he will not easily anger Miss Wang Er." Xiuyan said, with no superfluous look on her face.
"But I'm afraid." Hua Xiyan suddenly approached Xiuyan and said mysteriously, "Don't hide it, my lord, I am not from a high-ranking family, and some things are not very clear. When I was a child, as long as I did something wrong, I would get my father's understanding with a humble attitude, and the emperor didn't know how much more enlightened than my father, and he would inevitably be more angry, if I behaved well, I would naturally not be angry with me, and the adults said yes? ”
Hua Xiyan said, took two steps back, and grinned: "Adults also think what I said is polite, don't you?" Then I'll be one step ahead! ”
After the words fell, he stared at the sun that was about to be in the middle and walked briskly towards the palace gate.
Xiuyan looked at Hua Xiyan's back, there was no superfluous look on her face, but there was an obvious sneer in her eyes. Ignorant woman. You disobeyed the order yesterday, how can this charge be easily erased?
The innocent and bright smile on Hua Xiyan's lips disappeared after stepping into the palace gate, don't think that she doesn't know what the embroidered goose is doing, she doesn't follow her wishes!
After taking two steps, Hua Xiyan looked around to see no one, and his body twisted, like a touch of green smoke, and fell outside the imperial study hall in an instant.
After adjusting the skirt, Hua Xiyan put his hands on his abdomen, and stepped up the white marble steps in front of the imperial study.
Each stone step is carved with a dragon and a phoenix, and the white marble exudes a dazzling white glow in the noon sun. Look up again, the glazed tiles on the palace in front are even more brilliant, the bright yellow tiles are now shining, the colorful is like a rainbow after the rain, the whole hall is beautiful, people can not look directly.
Kang Shun, who was waiting at the door of the imperial study, saw the woman dressed in plain clothes coming towards the palace step by step, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, thinking that the queen didn't send someone? Why did this woman come so soon?
"Grandpa Kang seems surprised to see me?" A ghostly greeting suddenly sounded in his ears, Kang Shun's body shook, and he instantly retreated three feet away.
"Looking at Gonggong Kang like this, it seems that I am some kind of bull ghost and snake god?" Hua Xiyan smiled, and the slightly raised eyebrows showed her interest and disdain, and she seemed to be very incomprehensible to Kang Shun's behavior.
"Yo, what's wrong with my father-in-law's face?" Hua Xiyan's body moved, and he came to Kang Shun, looked at his bruised face, covered his lips and smiled, "Could it be that I threw a teacup yesterday and turned my father-in-law into this appearance?" ”
"No, no, the saint is inside, Miss Wang Er, please." Kang Shun stretched out his hand to cover his face and said with low eyebrows.
He just hoped that this ancestor would not talk to him, how could he still get his face? Didn't you come back yesterday and tell the emperor that the emperor didn't beat him after he resisted the decree? If it weren't for the queen's intercession, I'm afraid that my nickname would really have to be explained.
"Although my father-in-law is not a normal person, I have to take care of my face, right?" Hua Xiyan took two steps back and said with a smile, "But even if you cherish it, at most, it's just to entertain yourself, just open your heart." ”
Hua Xiyan said, without waiting for anyone to report, and directly pushed open the door of the imperial study.
Kang Shun is almost about to spurt out a mouthful of old blood, and he has never seen such a straightforward revelation. He didn't dare to reason with Hua Xiyan, who had already entered the imperial study, and retreated to the side, thinking about how to deal with this evil star in the future.
Hua Xiyan didn't do anything to Kang Shun because it was still useful for the person to keep it, otherwise she wouldn't bother to talk to him. The dark color under his eyes also completely converged after pushing open the door of the imperial study, and was replaced by a harmless and innocent look.
Emperor Tianlong was originally watching the folds in front of the desk, and the dim imperial study was shining brightly because the door was wide open. He was being overwhelmed by the saline-alkali problem in the northwest, and Emperor Tianlong thought that it was another concubine who came to pay his respects, and he couldn't help but feel a little displeased, and was about to have a seizure, but he suppressed his anger when he saw someone coming.
It was a slender woman, and she couldn't see her face clearly because she stood against the light. The Luo skirt on her body was also plated with a layer of golden light to hide her original color, her posture was dignified but not rigid, and her steps were gentle but not stiff. For a while, Emperor Tianlong thought that it was the woman who had been dead for more than ten years and was coming towards him.
"Lixin......" Emperor Tianlong moved his lips and spit out these two words.
Huaxi's smoke ear power is excellent, and he can understand Emperor Tianlong's snort; There was no superfluous look on his face, he just walked to the front of the case and bent his knees slightly: "Courtier, Hua Xiyan, long live my emperor." ”
Emperor Tianlong was silent for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "You are the second lady of the Wang family." ”
"It's the courtier."
"Is it also the decree you disobeyed?" Emperor Tianlong asked knowingly.
"Yes." Hua Xiyan replied without hesitation.
Emperor Tianlong stared at Hua Xiyan for a long time with a calm face, and said nonchalantly: "You don't seem to be afraid of me." ”
Hua Xiyan looked back at Emperor Tianlong, and saw that his face was as usual, and he did not have the slightest look of displeasure, he knew the destiny of heaven in his old age, but he did not look old at all, and there were no wrinkles on his face, but with a shallow wind and frost, telling the handsome and uncast in his youth.
Hua Xiyan stared deeply at this face, with scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes. The eyes of the two intersected in one place, as if two bursts of light collided with each other in the air, and in an instant, the fire was full of fire, and it seemed that several moves had passed.
"The courtiers want to know why the emperor gave that holy decree for marriage." After a while, Huaxi Yan spoke first.
"What I have done has never been questioned, only unconditional obedience." Emperor Tianlong opened his mouth lightly, obviously not intending to answer Hua Xiyan's question.
"That's just the practice of the ignorant, and the courtiers won't leave their fate in the hands of others like that."
"You're the first one who dares to talk to me so arrogantly." Emperor Tianlong said, his voice deepened a little, "Aren't you afraid that I will cure your sins?" ”
Hua Xiyan chuckled, took out the bright yellow holy decree from his sleeve, and raised his hand, and the thing fell on the table in front of Emperor Tianlong: "The emperor is the lord of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, holding the power of life and death of all the people in the world, if you want to punish the crime, the courtiers have nothing to say." But if you want the courtiers to take this paper, I'm sorry, the courtiers can only resist and disobey! ”
This is very sonorous and non-negotiable. Emperor Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the holy decree that obviously had a footprint, and said again: "I will give you another chance, will you accept it or not?" ”
"Is the emperor ringing in the ears? The courtiers thought they had made it clear. Hua Xi Yanling's lips hooked a shallow smile, and said sarcastically, not having a good impression of this emperor who was uncomfortable with him from the beginning.
"Bold little girl! Talking to me like that! Emperor Tianlong slapped the table heavily, and even the Yingluo in front of the golden crown on his head seemed to tremble a few times because of the emperor's anger, making a crackling sound.
Hua Xiyan ignored Emperor Tianlong, turned his head to the enamel screen on the side, and said slowly: "Since Gongzi Wen is also here for this holy decree, it is better to come out and express his position with me!" ”
When the words fell, I saw a figure in a brocade dress walking out behind the screen, it was Wen Qing.
It's just that Emperor Tianlong's next words surprised Hua Xiyan.
