Chapter 40: Thoughtful
Before Dongfang Cheng could react, Yan Ran shouted loudly: "Bold, Niangniang just asked you to send this food box to the imperial study, but you dropped it, could it be that you are dissatisfied with Niangniang's arrangement?" ”
Yan Ran looked at Dongfang City with an angry face, and there was a touch of coldness in her eyes.
"Mother's forgiveness!"
Dongfang Cheng was half-kneeling on the ground, but the expression on his face was not half moved.
The heart is like a mirror, knowing what is going on.
"You a little guard dare to do this, I think, you didn't take our mother in your eyes at all, if the emperor knows, you say, what should you do?"
Yan Ran didn't listen to Dongfang City's words, and said aggressively, and her tone was as high as that of a little eunuch.
The noise outside made the man who was reviewing the recital very displeased, Nalan stopped the pen in his hand and looked sideways at Ping'an, and said coldly: "Go and see, what's going on outside, so noisy, what kind of system?" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Ping'an came to the door of the imperial study, saw a few people gathered outside, and was about to take a step forward to take a clear look, but was discovered by Ling Tiange's sharp eyes.
She suddenly changed her expression, pulled Yan Ran, who was confronting Dongfang City, and pretended to frown and reprimanded: "This guard didn't mean to break this food box, it's a big deal, let's do it again, why are you so angry?" ”
Yan Ran understood, took a step back and came to Ling Tiange's side, and said aggrievedly: "Niangniang, it's you who are too kind, so you let these little minions have a chance, look at it, the things you worked so hard to prepare are gone, you don't feel distressed, I feel distressed!" ”
Saying that, that Yan Ran seemed to cry, Ling Tiange's face softened, and comforted Yan Ran and said: "This palace naturally knows that you are also for this palace, but this truth still has to be explained, after all, the emperor of this imperial study has ordered not to approach, but we insist on going, even if the guard deliberately drops this food box, it is reasonable." ”
This seems to be saying good things for Dongfang City, but it is all the fault that is blamed on him.
When Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and after listening to a rough idea, he went to tell Nalan Zhi: "Your Majesty, it seems that Concubine Yue sent you some soup, but because of your order, Lord Dongfang stopped Concubine Yue at the door, and as a result, the food box was accidentally broken, and Concubine Yue's maid thought it was Lord Dongfang's fault, so it caused a dispute." ”
Hearing this, Nalan frowned slightly, and the brush he was holding paused: "Just now, which adult did you say?" ”
thought that Nalan Zhi was not very clear, so Ping'an explained again: "It's the emperor's guard, Lord Dongfang of Dongfang City!" ”
"Eastern City?"
Nalan Zhi chewed on these two names, and the scene he saw that day came to his mind, and his face was slightly gloomy: "Such behavior should be punished!" ”
"What?"
Ping'an was a little confused, and some didn't understand who Nalan Zhi was referring to.
"I said, Oriental City! Knowing the identity of Concubine Yue, but maliciously breaking the food box, this kind of behavior is disrespectful, so it should be punished! ”
Ping An was stunned, no matter how you look at this, it doesn't seem like Lord Dongfang's fault, besides, Lord Dongfang doesn't dare to offend Concubine Yue no matter how great his ability is, there is a problem with this!
I wanted to say a few good words for Dongfang City, but when I saw Nalan Zhi's cold face, I suddenly realized in my heart that the emperor was probably a personal vendetta of the communiqué!
Isn't that ...... Isn't it just that Concubine Liu took care of the Dongfang Lord?
Ping An was embarrassed, but he still didn't dare to disobey the holy order, so he went down to make arrangements.
"The minion is gone!"
Out of the imperial study, Ping An came behind Dongfang City, frowned and said: "Dongfang City, you are so bold, you dare to commit the next offense, so, according to the emperor's order, our family will punish you with thirty boards, and you will be punished immediately!" ”
Then, regardless of Dongfang City's expression, he respectfully saluted Ling Tiange: "The old slave has seen Concubine Yue!" As soon as this matter is over, please don't be angry! ”
"Father-in-law Ping'an, this guard didn't do it on purpose, this soup bowl is broken, but the palace is wrong, the palace immediately went back to the Qiuluan Palace to prepare a new one!"
As he spoke, Ling Tiange turned around and was about to leave, but was called by Ping'an: "Wait a minute, Niangniang!" ”
Ling Tiange thought that Ping An was willing to let him go to see Nalan Zhi, but he never thought that Ping An said respectfully: "Niangniang, the emperor is dealing with official business, don't disturb, so I also ask Niangniang to go back first, as for this soup, the emperor has no intention of eating it because of some court trivialities!" ”
Upon hearing this, Ling Tiange was extremely angry in his heart, but he knew that the person in front of him was no easier to bully than the guard just now, after all, he was a big celebrity in front of Nalan Zhi, and many people in the palace had to be polite when they saw him.
"Father-in-law Ping'an, this palace is also worried about the emperor's body, so he will boil some things to replenish qi and blood for the emperor, so I hope that my father-in-law can be accommodating."
"This ......"
At this moment, a cold voice came from the imperial study: "Peace, let Concubine Yue in!" ”
Ping An was shocked, took the order, and took Ling Tiange's master and servant into the imperial study.
Seeing the man who was lifting the pen and working, Ling Tiange was overjoyed, and stepped forward to bow down: "The concubine sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
"Well, excuse me!"
Nalan Zhi didn't talk to Ling Tiange too much, he had always disliked having someone next to him behind the review, and today he didn't know what happened to him to let Ling Tiange in.
However, he is also the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and what he says cannot be easily retracted, so it is good for Ling Tiange to find a place to sit by himself.
After Ling Tiange heard this, he naturally happily let Ping An move a carved wooden chair and sit next to Nalan Zhi.
Looking at the handsome man in front of him so close to him, Ling Tiange couldn't help but feel a little trance, and looking at Nalan Zhi's eyes, he was also covered with lust.
After watching the music for a while, Nalan Zhi was really uncomfortable by Ling Tiange's gaze, so he raised his arm impatiently and snorted.
Ling Tiange was stunned when he heard this, but Ping An suddenly understood what he meant.
Grabbing the dust in his hand, he took a step forward with some hesitation, although he was a little afraid of provoking Ling Tiange, Ping'an still bowed down and said softly: "Concubine Yue, the emperor doesn't like others to get too close to him when reviewing the folds, why don't you stay away?" ”
When Ling Tiange heard this, he immediately frowned, gritted his teeth and glared at Ping'an fiercely, and was about to blurt out a lecture.
But at this moment, Nalan Zhi coughed a few times with a cold face, and seeing this, Ling Tiange suddenly softened, and stood up from the chair with a light smile.
Ping An said "sigh" in his heart, and hurriedly went over to move the chair away, but he stood far away and never dared to raise his head again.
