Chapter 224: Chang'an
Someone outside the carriage should get down, and after a while, I heard Ah Wu's voice outside speak, "Master, are you looking for me?" ”
Xu Saburo let out a soft "um", and then said, "You rush to the city first, prepare a decent set of clothes for Madame, and you must send them back before we enter Beijing." ”
Ah Wu responded, "Yes." So he got ready to go into the city first.
Only to the front of the team but was stopped by King Rui, Ah Wu had to stop, about to dismount and salute King Rui, King Rui waved his hand, "Don't be polite, what are you going to do this fast horse?" ”
Ah Wu replied honestly, "The master asked his subordinates to go to the city to prepare a set of clothes for Mrs. and send them." ”
Rui Wang wondered, "Where is she?" ”
Ah Wu responded, "Sit in the carriage with the master." ”
Ah Wu was strange in his heart, he was in the prisoner car behind, and he obviously saw that the prince went to the master's carriage to talk to the master, why did he ask where the lady was?
King Rui remembered the little guy in the carriage who cowered and hid behind Xu Sanlang, with a swarthy face, and couldn't help but shake his head regretfully, and muttered, "It's embarrassing for him." ”
Ah Wu didn't know why, so he opened his mouth and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates are one step ahead and are ready to go." ”
King Rui waved his hand and said in frustration, "Go ahead." ”
When Ah Wu left, King Rui said to his subordinates on the side, "I also wronged him, marrying such a daughter-in-law, in the end, is a country girl, Ge Shu's kid actually said that he is good-looking, what kind of vision does he have." ”
The subordinates on the side also sighed and said, "This vision is not very good." "He is also from the countryside, in fact, there are many good-looking girls in the countryside, but the previous one is really too dark.
This picture, if Cheng Xi sees it, it is estimated that he will vomit blood angrily and go to Ah Yi to settle the account.
The team continued to move towards Chang'an, the capital, but the situation fell, the guards of the Xue family were put into the prisoner car, and Xu Sanlang's people became the guards escorting the prisoners, but the guards of the Xue family really didn't expect that the situation would suddenly become like this.
This place was originally not far from the capital, almost after traveling for more than an hour to Chang'an City, Cheng Xi looked at the curtain of the car, looked at the majestic Chang'an City Gate, the two huge gilded Chang'an on the city gate, and sighed, "Sure enough, it is the capital, not comparable to those small cities on our border, I am fortunate to be able to come and walk on it, and it is good to take a look." ”
Xu Sanlang pulled Cheng Xi in helplessly and said, "Put on your clothes first." ”
Although Cheng Xi was reluctant, she still obediently let Xu Saburo put the clothes sent by Ah Wu on her body, she was about to enter the city, and she didn't want to lose Xu Saburo's face.
The main reason is that this dress looks gorgeous, but it is complicated to wear, and it is really uncomfortable to wear it on such a hot day, so it has been dragged to the city gate.
When Xu Sanlang re-tied a simple woman's bun for Cheng Xi, the carriage finally arrived at the gate of the city, because it was King Rui, and the group entered Chang'an City smoothly.
Cheng Xi lifted the curtain next to him and secretly looked outside, the street was really spacious enough, pedestrians came and went on the street, and various shops on both sides were mixed with all kinds of shouting sounds, Cheng Xi sighed again, "It's really a lot more prosperous." ”
Their long queue will attract pedestrians on the side of the road to take a few more looks, but they will not be too surprised, in the end, in the capital, where are the wealthy nobles, I am afraid that they have seen too many such scenes.
When he entered the city, the carriage in front of him left first and went in the other direction, Cheng Xi watched the carriage leave, and muttered, "I didn't have time to thank her." ”
Xu Sanlang took Cheng Xi's hand, "Let's go to the capital, there will be opportunities in the future." ”
Cheng Xi shook his head, "If you can't see it, it's better not to see it, so as not to become trouble for each other." ”
She doesn't want to be involved with the Xue family, and it may cause her trouble if she is involved, and that person is afraid that it is the same, since she can't do it without turning a blind eye to such a decision, she can endure not recognizing each other, and she always has her own troubles.
But their procession went straight to the palace, and after about half an hour, the procession stopped at the gate of a majestic palace, and the guard at the gate of the palace rebuked loudly, "Who is here, and why are you staying at the palace gate?" ”
King Rui took out his waist card and handed it to the guards, who knelt down and saluted, "See King Rui." ”
King Rui waved his hand and asked, "Is my son in the palace?" ”
One of the guards responded, "His Royal Highness entered the palace early in the morning, and he didn't leave the palace, and he should still be in the palace now." ”
King Rui nodded and replied, "Spread the word for this king, saying that this king came with evidence." ”
The guard was a little puzzled, and looked at the team behind King Rui suspiciously, and King Rui glared coldly, "That's what I said." ”
Cheng Xi put down the carriage curtain, patted his chest, and said to Xu Sanlang, "Fortunately, I heard that you changed your clothes and took off your makeup, otherwise you would really be embarrassed and thrown home, no, you would be disgraced to the palace." ”
After speaking, Cheng Xi grabbed Xu Sanlang's hand again, and said excitedly and worriedly, "We're going to enter the palace, I haven't seen the real emperor yet." ”
Xu Sanlang reached out and patted Cheng Xi's hand, and Cheng Xi realized that he seemed to be a little too excited, and stuck out his tongue at Xu Sanlang in embarrassment.
After waiting at the gate of the palace for a while, he finally waited for the news, "Lord Wang, Your Majesty has sent you to the palace with evidence." ”
Then the guards guarding the door let go, and after a while after entering, the carriage stopped, and Xu Sanlang whispered to Cheng Xi, "You are not allowed to take carriages in the palace, you have to stop here, let's walk in." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and then the curtain was opened, Xu Sanlang jumped out of the carriage, and then helped Cheng Xi get off the carriage, and the king of Rui had already dismounted in front, glanced at Xu Sanlang, and saw Xu Sanlang supporting the woman who got out of the carriage, he was slightly stunned, and said to his subordinates on the side, "Then, where did that little guy go just now?" ”
The subordinate looked at it for a while before he spoke, "The subordinate doesn't know either. ”
Although King Rui had a guess in his heart, he still couldn't believe it, called Ah Wu on the side, and asked, "That's the young lady?" Why is it a little different from the little guy in the carriage just now? ”
Ah Wu answered honestly, "In order to pretend to be the little maid next to the master, Madame used the disguise technique. ”
King Rui was very relieved, looking at it from a distance, it was not as dark as that little guy, it should not be ugly, only a little short, in the end, it was his daughter-in-law, King Rui still said, "This king went over and took a look." ”
While speaking, the person went over there, only to see Cheng Xi's appearance, and then he was hit again, staring at Cheng Xi for a while, Cheng Xi couldn't help but hide behind Xu Sanlang, Xu Sanlang also frowned slightly, Rui Wang found that he was a little out of shape, coughed to cover his embarrassment, and then said, "What is the relationship between you and Xue Yingying?" ”
Without waiting for Cheng Xi to speak, Xu Sanlang took the first step to answer for Cheng Xi, "It doesn't matter, Xi'er grew up in the village with me since she was a child." ”
King Rui couldn't believe it, "Is there really such a similar person?" Thinking about it again, I also saw Xue Yingying in the team today, but no matter what, I didn't believe Xu Sanlang's words, but Xu Sanlang had already said so, and he didn't ask anymore, just send someone to investigate.
The eunuch who was waiting there had already walked over quickly and said to King Rui, "The old slave has seen His Royal Highness King Rui, but I haven't seen him for many years, and His Royal Highness King Rui's demeanor has not diminished back then. ”
Cheng Xi secretly looked at the eunuch, and sighed in his heart, this is a real eunuch, today I saw the real thing, the eunuch should be old, with a smile on his face full of folds, but his face is smooth and visible, no beard, and his voice is slightly sharp, there are some similarities with the eunuchs he has seen on TV, it seems that the eunuchs on TV are not unfounded blind performances.
A smile appeared on King Rui's face, and he replied with a smile, "Gonggong Shen praised it falsely. ”
The eunuch replied with a smile, "Your Majesty is discussing matters in the Council Palace, and you can't get out of your body, so you can't come to greet King Rui in person, so you specially sent an old slave to meet His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
King Rui hugged his fists and said, "How dare you bother Your Majesty to greet you, there is Gonggong Lao, wait for this king to arrange it, and go to the political palace with your father-in-law." ”
Except for a few important witnesses, everyone else stayed here, and Cheng Xi silently followed Xu Sanlang's side, walked behind King Rui, followed the eunuch who led the way in front, and went to the Yizheng Palace.
Of course, Cheng Xi followed and walked forward, of course, he would not forget to look at the golden palace, and from time to time, a team of royal guards in silver armor and palace maids in pink palace clothes passed by, which was really magnificent.
I have only walked for a long time and have not arrived at the council hall, but Cheng Xi is a little irritable, not that she feels tired when she walks, but that the weather and the cumbersome clothes on her body really make people feel tired and panicked.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, I finally heard the father-in-law in front of me say that the front was the council hall, Cheng Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, and stood beside Xu Sanlang obediently, no longer looking around, and walked forward with small steps.
After going up a row of stairs that is not too long, a threshold appears, and there is a row of shoes at the door, Cheng Xi is embarrassed, do you still want to take off your shoes? Seeing that the Rui Wang in front of him had taken off, Cheng Xi had to follow the action, but was pulled by Xu Sanlang on the side, and whispered in her ear, "You don't have to." ”
Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't have a smelly foot, but there were so many people inside, it was really strange to go in without shoes, and at the same time complained in his heart, this rule is really weird, take off your shoes and enter the hall, if you meet a few people with smelly feet, the smell, I'm afraid it doesn't smell good, this emperor can stand it?
There was already a shouting sound here, and a long shout dragged out in a shrill voice, "King Jiang Nanrui enters the palace." ”
Cheng Xi waited for Xu Saburo to take off his shoes, and then followed Xu Saburo into the hall together, but at this time, Cheng Xi didn't dare to look around, only obediently lowered his head, followed Xu Saburo, and saw the person in front of him kneeling, she also knelt down, and people shouted Long live, she also followed vaguely and confusedly.
When a young and warm voice in front of him called "Pingshen", he stood up again, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
The other people in the hall saw King Rui again, and after you came and went, the warm voice just now said with a little excitement, "I haven't seen you for many years, is Uncle Huang good in Jiangnan?" I also want to thank Uncle Huang, even if I went to Jiangnan, I didn't forget my nephew, please accept my nephew's worship. ”
Cheng Xi couldn't help it, his head was a little too high, and when he looked ahead, he saw King Rui dragging a man in a bright yellow brocade robe and said, "Your Majesty must not be like this, you are now the Son of Heaven, how can the minister afford this worship." ”
The man in the yellow brocade robe said, "Uncle Huang has worked hard for his nephew, how can he not bear it." ”
King Rui replied, "Your Majesty's heart has been received, and this worship must not be." ”
Cheng Xi was speechless when he heard this, there were so many people standing in the main hall, did these two people plan to keep pushing around like this?
Cheng Xi was thinking like this in his heart, when he heard the man suddenly speak, "Cousin Zihao, is this my cousin's daughter-in-law next to you?" ”
