Soon the sedan chair stopped in front of a palace with the 'Council Hall', and Zhang Xiaoxue and Yu Wenze both got off the sedan chair and entered the Council Hall.

After entering the main hall, Zhang Xiaoxue remembered that she was going to face His Majesty the Emperor, how should she meet her?

However, Zhang Xiaoxue immediately thought that she was now finally named the county lord, and she could be regarded as having a small grade, although she had no real power, she did not belong to the ranks of civilians, and she should not need to bow down and bow to such a big gift.

But wait for the etiquette of the meeting, Zhang Xiaoxue really doesn't know, and she is a little entangled in her heart, afraid that she will make a big fool when she meets the emperor.

When Zhang Xiaoxue thought of this, she couldn't help but tug at Yu Wenze's sleeve beside her with her hand, and after seeing Yu Wenze looking at her, she asked in a low voice: "Brother Ze, after seeing the emperor later, how should I salute?" I don't understand. ”

Yu Wenze was stunned by Zhang Xiaoxue's question, and then smiled, "I was negligent, when I saw the emperor, because you are a high-grade county lord, you don't need to kneel like a commoner, you just need to bend down, bend your legs, fold your hands, and put them on the knee of your left leg, and then you can call yourself a courtier." ”

Yu Wenze told Zhang Xiaoxue in great detail about the etiquette norms to be made when she visited the emperor as her.

After listening to this, Zhang Xiaoxue understood after a little thought, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Oh! ”

The two were led all the way from Gonggong Cui to the inner hall of the council hall, and Zhang Xiaoxue met the current emperor of the Yuwen Dynasty.

Although she only glanced at it, Zhang Xiaoxue also took a rough look, and the current emperor deserves to have given birth to such a handsome child as His Royal Highness King Yan, and he is also a very charming beautiful uncle.

looks like he is about 40 years old, not wearing a bright yellow dragon robe as Zhang Xiaoxue imagined, and the robe on his body is black and embroidered with a golden double dragon pattern.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxue thought in her heart, it seems that the emperor of this place is not like the ancient Chinese emperors who love Ming yellow.

Zhang Xiaoxue didn't dare to look at it more, she quickly lowered her gaze after a glance, and after Yu Wenze opened her mouth to see her father, Zhang Xiaoxue also followed, acting as Yu Wenze said, and said in her mouth: "Courtier Zhang Xiaoxue, I have seen the emperor." ”

Although Zhang Xiaoxue's courtesy was not standardized enough, the emperor didn't mind, he didn't embarrass Zhang Xiaoxue at all, looked at it for a while, and let Zhang Xiaoxue sit on the seat under Yu Wenze in a gentle tone.

Out of trust in the youngest son, knowing that since the son took the little girl with him, and he came back because of his summons, he must have the son's intention.

A few days ago, he also received a letter from his son, and he saw the exploits of this little girl who was newly named the lord of Xueshan County by his younger son.

For him, who has led soldiers to fight, this kind of food that saves grain and is easy to preserve, he knows and appreciates it greatly, although this pancake is not too delicious food, but for military and civilian applications, it is really too big.

For the county lord of Xueshan did not hide the secret recipe privately, but asked for some silver taels and 100 acres of wasteland, the emperor still admires the character of this little girl very much.

This time, the son brought the county lord of Xueshan to the palace, and it must be the son who regarded the little girl as his own, otherwise the son would not have passed it on so indiscriminately.

Sure enough, Yu Wenze didn't mean to carry Zhang Xiaoxue on his back at all, so he asked his father.

"Father, what happened to my eldest brother? He actually let him leave his responsible government affairs and run to the Seven Lotus Mountains, Father, tell me the specific situation, I want to go to the Seven Lotus Mountains to find my eldest brother in person. ”

"Hey, the reason why your eldest brother ran to the Seven Lotus Mountain Range is because your second aunt's mother-in-law is not in good health, and she has been hanging her life with some precious medicinal herbs for the past few years.

You should also know that your second brother-in-law often sends people to look for precious medicinal materials, and sometimes he will send people to various deep mountains and old forests to search for good medicinal materials.

Not long ago, your second uncle sent someone to the Seven Lotus Mountains again, and found a fruit that had a red glowing fruit, although they didn't know what kind of fruit it was, but they also knew that it must be a treasure.

They were overjoyed, but before they could get close to picking, a large python the size of a bucket came out, and there were ten people in all, and only one person came back at last.

In this way, the person who came back was frightened and a little crazy, and asked the doctor to treat him for a long time, and finally inquired about this.

Since you know that it is a python, as long as there are more people who go to round up, I believe that you will not be able to defeat a big snake, so your second aunt's family thinks that the red fruit must be a life-saving treasure, and decides to venture forward again.

Your eldest brother and your second aunt's cousin are already engaged, and they have a special fancy for her, this time this happened, your eldest brother brought a lot of personal guards, as well as the eldest lang of the Xiao family, and also brought some people to the Seven Lotus Mountain Range.

This time, even your cousin Xiao Ruru entered the Seven Lotus Mountain Range together, wanting to pick the red fruit back.

It's just that it's been nearly a month now, and none of these people have come back, and your second aunt and I have sent two groups of people separately, but we haven't seen anyone who has come back, so something must have happened. ”

When Yu Wenze heard his father's explanation, he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and asked anxiously.

"It's just a bucket-thick python, no matter how high the force is, the eldest brother brings his personal guard, as well as the personal guard of the second uncle's house, Xiao Yankun's martial arts are not weaker than the eldest brother, there are so many of them, won't they be able to solve a python?

Father, have you ever asked from the man who came back if there is any other news?"

"The other news didn't come out, but after the matter was known to the national teacher, he said that the python must not be an ordinary snake beast, it may have been psychic, and even a demon cultivator may not be able to say.

If it is really as the national teacher said, I asked you and Ah Jun to come back, in addition to going to save your eldest brother, one of the two of you will stay.

I am just your three sons, it is impossible to let you all throw yourself into unknown dangers, this time I discussed with your mother for a long time, but I couldn't decide which one should let you or your second brother stay.

In the end, I decided to let you discuss with your second brother, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, and I thought that Ah Jun would definitely arrive two or three days earlier than you, but I didn't expect to be driven by you. ”
