Volume 2: Cinnabar in the Heart Chapter 227 Xuanshangguan Jingyu enters the palace
No one knows what the emperor said to the three princes, only that when the three princes left Zhaoyi Palace, their faces were not very good, and the emperor did not leave Zhaoyi Palace for a long time.
In the end, it was Liu Zhong who went in to find the emperor, but he only saw the emperor sitting alone in front of Yu Zhaoyi's portrait, stunned.
As for what the father and son said, only God knows, and the father and son know.
Liu Zhong stepped forward, "Your Majesty? β
Xiao Sheng sighed lightly and got up, "What time is it?" β
Liu Zhong said, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." β
Hearing this, Xiao Sheng slowly walked out of the main hall and looked at the dark oppressive sky, "In two days it will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and another year will be over, laugh at the new peach for the old charm." β
On this day, it was about to snow.
"Your Majesty, watch your step." Liu Zhong reminded appropriately.
Xiao Sheng walked down the steps, "Do you know about Miss Xiangfu?" β
Liu Zhong hung his head respectfully, "Where do you dare to ask, that is the emperor's daughter-in-law, the pearl of the master's palm." β
"Don't fool me with this set, to be honest." Xiao Sheng walked out slowly.
Liu Zhong said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the words of the slaves are all hearsay, but they can't be taken seriously." β
"Where is all this nonsense? Say! Xiao Sheng flicked his sleeves.
Seeing this, Liu Zhong followed behind Xiao Sheng and talked slowly, "The slave has only seen it once, or the last time the concubine was summoned, the slave took such a look." This Shangguan girl really looks like a flower and jade, a fairy beauty who is alive and well. β
"Don't pat yourself on the back and say something else." Xiao Sheng also saw it, but he didn't look too closely. Because it is his daughter-in-law, it stands to reason that there is a father-in-law staring at his daughter-in-law, so he is also trying to avoid suspicion, and he can't see it too clearly.
Liu Zhong hurriedly nodded yes, "The slave also heard that this Shangguan girl is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. However, there are many people who are popular, since the last time the third prince refused to marry-" Speaking of this, Liu Zhong paused, "There are rumors in the eastern capital that the third prince will resist death because of the Shangguan girl." β
Xiao Sheng stopped, the light in his eyes was slightly sick, "Is it really for her?" β
"Your Majesty, these are people outside chewing on the root of their tongues, look at this palace, who believes these gossips!" Liu Zhong obviously gave a slap in the face, and this head played a round by himself.
"Shangguan Jingyu." Xiao Sheng bit out these four words word by word.
Liu Zhong said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the prime minister is loyal, presumably the daughter taught by the prime minister must also be dignified and virtuous, and the emperor can rest assured." β
Xiao Sheng flicked his sleeves, "Spread my will and announce the entry of Shangguan Jingyu into the palace." β
"Your Majesty, it's not too early, this-" Liu Zhong hurriedly stepped forward, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to enter the palace overnight, right?" β
"What's wrong?" Xiao Sheng said, "Let her go to the Hall of Morality, I want to see her." β
After speaking, Xiao Sheng hurried away.
Liu Zhong frowned, I don't know what happened to this emperor? Why did he suddenly remember that his daughter-in-law was here? What did the third prince say? Still is......
In fact, the Prime Minister's Mansion is also in a mess today.
After the rebellion of the crown prince, everyone is busy cleaning up the dirt in the mansion, because Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the minister has a life, and everything must be taken care of before Chinese New Year's Eve.
Fu Hui handed the medicine box in her hand to Shangguan Jingyu, "Miss, let's let the doctor go!" β
"No, I will." Shangguan Jingyu took the medicine box, "By the way, how is Fu Shaohong's end?" β
"He-" Fu Hui hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips, "General Fu and Old Lady Fu are back, so Shaohong asked me to come back first, and then come to pick me up when they have a good discussion." β
Shangguan Jingyu nodded, "The words of the parents are indispensable. If General Fu doesn't agree, even if you are together, you won't have a good time in the future. If you are patient, it may not be long before he can convince his father to marry you. β
Fleur smiled, "Miss don't make fun of it, Fleur doesn't dare to hope for it." β
Hearing this, Shangguan Jingyu patted Fu Rui's shoulder, "Fu Hui, don't be too arrogant. Everyone has their own value, and no one is born to be a maid. If I can see you get married, I will definitely help you prepare a generous dowry, and then let my father recognize you as a righteous daughter. At that time, I asked you to marry in the name of the righteous daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion in a beautiful way. β
Fleur blushed, "Miss......"
Shangguan Jingyu smiled and carried the medicine box into Shangguan Feng's room.
Shangguan Feng was sitting in front of the bookcase and writing, the emperor already had civil officials who could draft the matter of abolishing the crown prince, but for some reason, it had to go through the hands of Shangguan Feng.
"Daddy?" Shangguan Jingyu walked in the door, "Dad's injury is not healed yet, why don't you lie down and rest?" β
"Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the prince's affairs cannot be delayed." Shangguan Feng put down the pen in his hand, "Why are you here?" β
"I'll change my dad's dressing." Shangguan Jingyu put the medicine box on the case, "The prince's matter is important, but the father's body is even more important. The crown prince is the crown prince of the world, the crown prince of the emperor, but the father - is Ah Jing's father. Shangguan Jingyu grimaced, "If Dad is tired, others will not feel distressed, and Ah Jing will be distressed." β
Shangguan Feng smiled knowingly, "You girl, who did you learn this mouth from?" Looking at the girls around you, they have all taught you badly, and you really have to take care of it. β
"Bad teaching?" Shangguan Jingyu carefully took off Shangguan Feng's coat, "Then dad said, do you like it or not?" β
"The girl's family talks about likes and dislikes all day long, and she is not ashamed." Although he said this, Shangguan Feng's tone was extremely gentle.
Shangguan Jingyu hung his father's coat on the shelf on the side, and then opened the medicine box, waiting for Shangguan Feng to untie the clothes inside, and then he could change the medicine.
"Dad's wound is too deep, and I will instruct the kitchen to make Dad vegetarian as much as possible." Shangguan Jingyu untied the bandage, and the arrows on his head were shocking, and the skin was open and the flesh was open, almost to the bone.
The arrow wound penetrated Shangguan Feng's entire shoulder blade, and the injury here was the most painful, and even breathing hurt. Fortunately, his life is safe, otherwise the arrow wound will move downward, and something may happen!
"Fortunately, it only hurt the left side, not the right side." Shangguan Feng lowered his eyebrows and looked at the bowed body, carefully cleaned his wounds, and then his daughter, who was busy taking medicine, smiled with relief, "It's nothing, just take care of it for a while." β
"I'd rather my dad hurt the right side." Shangguan Jingyu pursed his lips.
Shangguan Feng frowned, "Why is this?" β
"In this way, my father can't write official documents, he can't hold a pen, and my father can stay at home with me." She said a little childishly, and after applying the medicine, she wrapped the bandage around and around it.
Hearing this, Shangguan Feng was silent.
Touching the thick bandages on his father's body, Shangguan Jingyu's eyebrows were slightly dark, and his eyes were slightly red, "Dad, don't do such things in the future." You protect the emperor, who protects you? β
"Silly girl." Shangguan Feng sneered, "The king is a minister, as a courtier, how can there be a reason not to protect the king?" β
"The emperor is a human being, and his father is also a human being. The emperor is not my father, my father is only you. Shangguan Jingyu grimaced, and his voice was a little choked, "I have lived without a mother for more than ten years, and I don't want to have a father for the rest of my life." β
Shangguan Feng's face turned slightly pale, and he sighed lightly, "Nonsense." β
After that, he has a pen.
"Daddy?" Shangguan Jingyu held his hand, "Rest, Ming'er will write again, the horizontal and vertical will not be able to delay Chinese New Year's Eve." Regardless of whether Dad writes it or not, the result is in the emperor's heart, so Dad doesn't have to rush for a while. β
"You girl, can't you pretend to be stupid? Why bother to say it. Shangguan Feng shook his head helplessly, "If this word is spread, it will be lost." β
Shangguan Jingyu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Dad, I want to ask you for something." β
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Feng asked.
"I want to say, can I marry the second princeβ"
Before he finished speaking, the housekeeper hurriedly knocked on the door, "Xiangye, someone has come to the palace, saying that the emperor has decreed, and Miss Xuan will meet you immediately." β
"When has this been? Do you want Ah Jing to enter the palace? β
Shangguan Feng got up, took off his coat and put it on.
Liu Zhong walked into the door quickly, "See Xiangye." β
"Father-in-law Liu, it's all night, I'm afraid it's wrong to let the little girl enter the palace again, right?" Shangguan Feng's face was not very good-looking, and he didn't smile at all.
Liu Zhong said with a smile, "Don't worry, the emperor has explained, summon Miss Shangguan in the Hall of Morality." β
Temple of Morality?
Shangguan Feng frowned and looked at his daughter, the Daode Hall is the place where the ministers gather in front of the court, and it is also half of the council hall, and ordinary emperors will only be there when they summon officials.
What kind of emperor summoned his daughter to go to the Temple of Morality?
Is it a courtesy to meet a monarch and a minister?
Or is there some other purpose?
"Miss, let's go!" Liu Zhong said, "The car is waiting outside!" β
"Daddy?" Shangguan Jingyu thought for a while, "I'll be back soon." β
Shangguan Feng nodded, and it was night, and the foreign ministers were not allowed to enter the palace easily, unless it was a matter of urgency. But he didn't worry about his daughter entering the palace alone, and after thinking about it again, Shangguan Feng decided to wait outside the palace gate, and if there was a slight disturbance, he would be the first to know.
Shangguan Jingyu didn't understand why the emperor would suddenly summon him.
It wasn't until she entered the palace gate that Liu Zhong told her half-vaguely that during the day, the emperor summoned the third prince, Xiao Dongli. After Xiao Dong left, the emperor remembered to summon her.
Because it was related to Xiao Dongli, Shangguan Jingyu was a little inexplicably flustered in his heart, and he always felt that there was an uneasy emotion spreading in his heart.
Did Xiao Dongli confess their relationship?
Probably not! Xiao Dongli is steady, and being so frank doesn't it mean that she will be burdened with the name of being out of moderation? Although the two of them did nothing, the emperor may not believe it.
So, what did Xiao Dongli say?
"Girl, it's here, let's go in!" Liu Zhong called in a low voice, and suddenly taught Shangguan Jingyu to come back to his senses.
When I looked up, I was already at the door of the Hall of Morality.
