Chapter Seventy-Two: Go to the court to meet the emperor
"Haha~ Little girl, that's a good point, the official is going to tell the emperor, you wait first!"
Xiaoyao pounded her head, and then found a place for everyone to sit and wait; She was full of excitement, and she longed to see the long-awaited emperor now. Waiting is the longest process, Xiaoyao walked back and forth, and after almost half an hour, the adult just now ordered someone to open the city gate and invite Xiaoyao in!
"You go back and wait for me, I'll be back soon!"
"Xiaoyao, be careful, do you know? This is the Imperial Palace! Lao Jiang said worriedly.
Everyone also looked back worriedly and watched Xiaoyao's petite figure disappear outside the city gate.
Xiao Yao followed the lord through nearly twenty gates in a carriage before she arrived at the magnificent stone stairs of the main hall, she stared at the beautiful surroundings of the imperial city with wide eyes, and secretly exclaimed, it was really beautiful! It would be nice if she could come in every day!
Xiao Yao stood obediently in place waiting for the emperor's audience, and soon, the sharp voice of the eunuch came from her ears, Xiao Yao's whole person trembled, and she felt goosebumps all over her body stand up.
"The emperor invites Lord Xiao to bring someone to meet you!"
"The adult is also surnamed Xiao?" Xiaoyao lowered her voice.
"Why, your surname is also Xiao!" Xiao Shi looked at Xiao Yao, a trace of anticipation flashed in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared again.
"Yes! Hehe~ The two of us really have a fate! ”
Xiao Shi stopped in place, looked at Xiao Yao in a daze, it was Xiao Yao who called him back to God, Xiao Shi smiled, and the two of them stepped into the golden court.
"The old minister sees the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"The people's daughter sees the emperor, long live the emperor!" Xiaoyao still knows how to follow the local customs! Although she doesn't want to kneel, this is a life, so she can only accept her fate!
"Lord Xiao is flat!"
Xiao glanced at the emperor on the dragon chair and slowly stood up.
Xiaoyao didn't care much, didn't she just want to test her patience? Hmph, do you know that her Xiaoyao's patience is practiced!
The closest place to the dragon chair, Gong Mocheng pursed his lips, how did Xiaoyao come here, at this time he couldn't believe his eyes, this girl, her courage is really not ordinary! It's too wild. and Gong Moxuan, who was standing behind Gong Mocheng, was also shocked by Xiao Yao's name, her sister-in-law disappeared for so many days, and she actually appeared above the court, this, this is too scary!
The ministers in the court also sighed in a low voice, to be honest, since they went to court, there really has not been a woman who has entered the main hall, and now there is a girl suddenly, everyone can't help but be surprised.
Xiaoyao and the emperor were in a stalemate for a long time, and in the end, the emperor opened his mouth first.
"Haha~ Little girl, you really don't say a word!"
Xiao Yao bowed her head, smiled politely, and said: "Since ancient times, the elders have not spoken, and the juniors have not been able to speak, this is a respect for the emperor!" ”
Emperor Qu Chu nodded, he agreed with Xiao Yao's words, he was really a lovely little girl, he looked at Xiao Yao intently, and asked: "Little girl, I heard that you have something that you can't solve!" ”
"Your Majesty, the people's daughter's name is Xiaoyao, she is a catcher under the name of Lord Wen Zhengwen, and she recently found out something, but ......" Xiaoyao pursed her lips, glanced at the ministers, and asked: "Your Majesty, if you don't even dare to take care of your parents' affairs, can I come to you?" ”
Emperor Qu Chu nodded!
Xiaoyao said again: "This matter of the people's daughter, it is true that even the parents and officials dare not care!" ”
"Parents don't dare to take care of it, so why should you take care of it?" Emperor Qu Chu frowned, he wanted to see what surprising things this little girl could say!
"Your Majesty, I am fortunate to be a fast catcher who shares the worries of the people, then, no matter how humble my identity is, I will fulfill my duties, as long as I am still catching fast, then I have the responsibility to deal with these things!" These words are Xiaoyao's sincere words, and she finally has the opportunity to say the words that have been buried for more than 20 years.
Emperor Qu Chu touched his chin and said, "What, you're not afraid of death?" ”
"I'm afraid! But Your Majesty, although I am afraid of death, I am even more afraid of living in a nest, living alone, what else can I do except do something meaningful to myself? "Xiaoyao is not afraid of others making fun of her! Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, okay!
"Oh~ So, what is the meaning of your life?"
