Chapter 225: Entering the Palace
The topic suddenly came to Cheng Xi himself, which scared Cheng Xi a lot, and his mind was spinning quickly, how to deal with it? She just came to make soy sauce, why did it turn to her in three or two sentences?
Cheng Xi was thinking about how to answer, but Xu Sanlang on the side had already spoken, "The younger brother and the inner brother are all from the countryside, and the etiquette is not good, please forgive Your Majesty." ”
All eyes were focused on Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi, although most of the court knew that King Rui suddenly had an eldest son, and he made a lot of contributions in cleaning up the regent's power, and the emperor's younger brother-in-law recognized his status in the royal family.
And as soon as Xu Sanlang spoke, it also attracted the attention of King Rui and Ge Shu, Xu Sanlang never wanted to admit his identity, they all knew very well, but if he suddenly returned to the emperor like this, he also indirectly admitted his identity, how not to surprise them.
Since Xu Sanlang said so, Cheng Xi simply became a country wild woman, anyway, she just lowered her head and didn't speak, so as not to say too much and make more mistakes.
Only Cheng Xi saw the bright yellow figure and walked up to him and Xu Sanlang, as if he was looking at her, and then the person in front of him opened his mouth, still in a gentle tone, but the words he said made Cheng Xi frown slightly.
"Can my brother and sister raise their heads so that I can recognize their faces? I can't see my younger siblings in front of me and don't know them in the future. ”
As soon as the emperor's words came out, all eyes were focused on Cheng Xi's body again, it seemed that he couldn't hide, Cheng Xi was very helpless, took a deep breath, and then raised his head as the emperor wished.
At this time, Cheng Xi finally saw the appearance of this emperor clearly, in his early twenties, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe, and a handsome face, but he was two or three points similar to Xu Sanlang Geshu, with a gentle smile on his face, and a gentle and elegant appearance, Cheng Xi sighed in his heart, the genes of this family are really good, and all of them are so outstanding.
At the same time, Cheng Xi also glanced at the scene in the hall slightly, there were about a dozen ministers standing on both sides, most of them were already old, and Ge Shu was among them.
However, when Cheng Xi raised his head, many people in the court widened their eyes, especially Xue Weiguo on the side, who narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Cheng Xi carefully.
After the shock passed, someone opened his mouth first, "This woman, Lord Xue, has something to do with your Xue family?" This look is really ...... from the housemate back then."
Someone opened his mouth first, and of course some people watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, "Yes, it's really like, it's carved out of a mold." ”
When the emperor saw Cheng Xi clearly, he was also slightly surprised, if it was really a country woman, this kind of appearance was really good, only to hear the sighs and exclamations of the old ministers in the court, the emperor looked at them curiously, and asked, "Oh? Xue Aiqing, my younger brother and sister are really very similar to the housemates back then? Back then, 'Yingying smiled and captivated the country and the city', it was a famous capital, but it's a pity that I couldn't see it, and I heard everyone Aiqing say, but really? ”
Cheng Xi was speechless, she really wanted to roll her eyes, she didn't expect to meet this one when she entered the palace, she knew that he would stay outside obediently and not come in, only so many people were still staring at her, she could only try to stay calm, look at her nose and nose, and stand there silently as a wood.
After the emperor's words were finished, Xu Sanlang spoke, "Your Majesty, the inner man is a native of Shiqiao Village, Anyang County, but he will not have anything to do with the Xue family, Lord Xue, do you say yes?" ”
Xue Weiguo nodded and replied, "Yes, there are thousands of similar people in the world, it's just a coincidence." ”
The emperor smiled and replied, "Yes, it's really a coincidence." ”
Xu Saburo quietly gave Ge Shu a look, and Ge Shu said, "Your Majesty, let's get down to business first." ”
The emperor finally stopped revolving around the topic of Cheng Xi's appearance, turned around and sat down on his dragon chair, and said, "Since Uncle Huang and Zihao are here, I will hear what is going on." ”
Ge Shu stood up, looked at Xue Weiguo opposite, and said, "Lord Xue, do you have anything to say." ”
King Rui, who had never spoken, also opened his mouth at this time, "Should Lord Xue give this king an explanation, why did he arrest this king's son and daughter-in-law?" ”
Xue Weiguo had an indifferent look on his face, stood up and said, "Lord Wang, this is all a misunderstanding, and the lower official also heard that His Royal Highness the Prince actually ran away from marriage, and it happened that the lower official met him when he went to Huai'an to inspect...... Zihao's nephew, now that both of them are here, everyone has seen it, plus Zihao's nephew is surrounded by people around His Royal Highness, the lower officials really can't tell the difference, and Zihao's nephew has not opened his mouth to defend himself, so he made such an oolong thing. ”
Xu Sanlang said indifferently, "It's just that Lord Xue doesn't seem to give me a chance to speak, since he caught me, he has been under house arrest and has never shown up, how can people justify?" ”
Xu Sanlang's tone was indifferent, and he said unhurriedly, as if what he said had nothing to do with him at all.
Xue Weiguo said, "Your Majesty, the minister really just loves his daughter, and His Royal Highness the Prince of Jiangnan escaped from marriage first, so the minister made this decision, which is really a scoundrel move, and please ask Your Majesty to be discerning and give the minister justice." ”
Cheng Xi sneered in his heart when he heard this, this Xue Weiguo, it was really a coincidence, and he kept saying that the son of Jiangnan had escaped marriage, and it was originally given by the emperor to marry, and this son of Jiangnan had escaped marriage, but he was resisting the decree, compared to resisting the decree, his kidnapping and snatching marriage was nothing, and it could even be said to be taken for granted.
This resistance is disrespectful, but it challenges the authority of the emperor, this young emperor has just regained power, and if someone resists the decree at this time, I am afraid that he will not be too happy.
Cheng Xi raised his head and secretly glanced at the emperor sitting on the high seat, but saw that he still had a look of being easy to say anything, and there seemed to be no trace of displeasure, just glanced at Cheng Xi and lowered his head, slandering in his heart, this person has been a puppet emperor for many years, I am afraid that he has already practiced a good acting skills that are not shocked, I am afraid it is not easy to see too many emotions from his face, and I can't keep staring at this person, so I have to give up.
As soon as Xue Weiguo finished speaking, someone really chimed in, "Lord Xue is right, His Royal Highness the Prince is more Miss Xue's family affairs, that is given by His Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince escaped from marriage, that is disrespectful, Lord Xue arrested people back, there was no problem in the first place, but I didn't think about it, I just caught the wrong person." ”
Look, after their quibbles, Ge Shu actually became a sinner who escaped from marriage.
It's just that Ge Shu is so thick-skinned, how can he admit that he wants to escape from marriage, even at this time, he still looks like a child, while fanning and cleaning up the folding fan, he said with a smile, "Lord Xue, this son just went to the border to see the eldest brother, how can he escape from marriage, it is really a crime to add to it, and it is said that Lord Xue's beloved daughter is famous for her beauty, such a beautiful woman can be owned by this son, what a beautiful thing!" ”
The words in front are okay, but the words in the back are getting more and more frivolous, obviously praise, only listening to the ears, but I feel extremely frivolous, listening to the Miss Xue family in his hand, in his mouth seems to have become that immodest woman, really frivolous, but I can't find any fault from his words.
Seeing Xue Weiguo's angry face and thick neck, Cheng Xi couldn't help but give Ge Shu a thumbs up in his heart, it was really annoying to look at Ge Shu's hanging appearance, but it turned out that there were such benefits.
The emperor, who was sitting in a high position, finally spoke, still in such a gentle tone, "Since this is all a misunderstanding, how about this matter be stopped?" Ge Shu, Lord Xue will be your father-in-law in the future, and you must not talk like this in the future. ”
I just wanted to draw a clear line with the Xue family, how could they give up, King Rui said, "Leave this matter aside for the time being, but I heard that my son was kidnapped once before, and his husband and wife were chased and fell off the cliff and almost died, but it is also related to Lord Xue, I don't know how Lord Xue should explain?" ”
Xue Weiguo frowned slightly, quickly returned to normal, and said with a surprised face, "Is His Royal Highness King Rui mistaken, before this, Xia Guan has never kidnapped Zihao's nephew, there must be a misunderstanding, I don't know if Zihao's nephew offended someone so he waited for an opportunity to retaliate?" ”
King Rui snorted coldly, glanced at Xu Sanlang, and motioned to himself to say, Xu Sanlang stood up and bowed to the emperor above, and then said, "Your Majesty, a month ago, when the grass people and the insiders were in Lihua Village, they were suddenly kidnapped, and then the group of gangsters actually had murderous intentions, and were learned by the guards around the grass people, and struggled to resist and cover the grass people and the insiders to escape from an inn, but those people were in hot pursuit, and the grass people and the insiders were forced to be cornered and fell off the cliff. But he was also trapped under the cliff for more than ten days, before he was rescued from the cliff by his younger brother, but this thing is really a coincidence, those guards are the same as the guards who escorted the grass people this time, many of them are the same people, and those guards have also been tied up by King Rui and brought over. ”
Xue Weiguo said, "There is no such thing, Your Majesty, before this, Zihao Shinephew has never been kidnapped, besides, Zihao's nephew is so similar to His Royal Highness the Shizi, the minister can't distinguish it at all, for example, this time he mistakenly took Zihao's nephew for His Royal Highness the Shizi, the old woman of the minister is heartfelt, how can she kill His Royal Highness the Shizi who looks exactly like His Royal Highness the Shizi?" There must be a misunderstanding in this. ”
The minister also felt that this matter was strange, and His Royal Highness the Prince followed...... This is a twin son, and it is difficult to easily distinguish what he looks like, even if this is the case, how could Lord Xue easily do something to someone who may be his son-in-law? ”
"Hmph, that's not necessarily, after all, there is a lady by his side, doesn't he just tell if it's His Royal Highness the Prince?"
