Chapter Twenty-Nine: Face Saint
Changqing Palace and Longyang Palace are only separated by two roads, and they are very close. Although the snow was difficult, it was only a quarter of an hour's work. The sedan chair stopped, someone lifted the curtain, and the new eyebrows leaned in, "County Lord, Longyang Hall has arrived." ”
The slave took the hand that Xinmei stretched out and walked out of the sedan chair. She tightened the thick cloak on her body, and someone handed her a stove on one side, and the slave turned her head to see Bai Shuang smiling at her. In this world, only Bai Shuang is probably the most considerate person for her. She hugged the stove in her hand and walked towards the gate of Longyang Palace. Fang Gu knocked on the knocker, and immediately someone opened the palace door, and the eunuch guarding the door looked the slave up and down and asked, "Are you?" ”
"This is the newly crowned Lord of Mingjia County." Xinmei stood up straight, and there was a bit of majesty in his speech.
"It turned out to be the county lord." The eunuch guarding the door saluted the slave and said, "The county lord has come to ask to see the saint?" Unfortunately, now that the Holy Lord is summoning a few princes and princesses in the palace, the county lord is afraid that he will come back another day. ”
Nu'er can be regarded as understanding, this eunuch means that he is not the son of the saint, but a small county lord, of course, he is not qualified to disturb the conversation between the saint and the prince and the princess. Xinmei saw the eunuch's disrespect early in the morning, and she was about to have a seizure, but she was secretly stretched out by the slave and pressed down.
"Actually, I don't have to see the saint, I just want this father-in-law to pass on it for me. If the saint doesn't see him, I won't stay long, and I will go back to the palace. The slave said with a smile, and at the same time took out ten taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into his father-in-law's hand, "Please also ask your father-in-law to be accommodating." ”
The eunuch weighed the weight of the silver, and then changed his words, "In this case, the slave will run this trip for the county lord." Please wait. ”
After the eunuch left, Xinmei said angrily, "Why should the county lord be angry with a minion, you are the master, even if you drag him out to play a few boards, no one dares to put a beak." ”
"It's your quick mouth. Are the minions of the Longyang Hall the same as the minions of the Huanyi Bureau? The slave didn't point it out, so I'll leave this question to Xinmei to experience for himself.
The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and after a while, another father-in-law came out with an umbrella in his hand. The eunuch who had just guarded the door followed behind the father-in-law respectfully, which was completely different from the arrogant appearance of Fang Cai's greed for money.
"Slave Xu Quan, see the county lord!"
Xu Quan is known to everyone in the palace, he served Emperor Yuan An as a child, and he is most familiar with Emperor Yuan An's temperament. has been driving for many years, and he is a big celebrity in front of the saint. It is the object of how many people want to stammer. No wonder the eunuch just now followed Xu Quan respectfully. The slave helped him out, "Manager Xu, get up quickly." ”
Xu Quan got up, "The saint heard that the county lord asked to see him, and he was afraid that the wind and snow would cool the county lord's body, so he specially asked the servants to come to greet him. Xu Quan opened his umbrella, "The county lord is here, please." ”
"There's Mr. Lao Xu." Nu'er followed Xu Quan with a smile, and her eyes inadvertently crossed over the eunuch just now. Xu Quan asked with a smile, "Is the county lord still used to being in the palace these days?" ”
"Slaves are used to wandering, and they can take root and grow wherever they go. There is the concern of Mr. Lao Xu. Nu'er felt a sour feeling when she said the word drifting, after her mother's death, she was sent to Muzi Village by the Li family for foster care, like a forgotten person, and was only taken back to the general's mansion a few years later.
What a shrewd man Xu Quan is. He has seen the feelings of the saint for Miss Fuliu for so many years. Now that Miss Fuliu is dead, leaving only such a daughter who resembles her, he sees the guilt in the saint's heart better than anyone else, otherwise he would not have taken care of his concubine, did not take care of the family, and loved this county lord so much, and even said the words of Feng Laiyi. He looked at the little girl beside him, and couldn't help sighing, thanks to her mother's blessing, she was destined to be rich and noble all her life in this life.
Outside the gate of Longyang Palace, Nu'er handed the stove in his hand to the palace man beside him. Standing and letting Bai Shuang take off the cloak on her body, she simply tidied up her appearance, and then ordered someone to pick the door curtain and enter the main hall.
As soon as I walked into the Longyang Palace, there was a sense of warmth. There are a lot of earth dragons and stoves in it. Outside the temple, it seems that there are two seasons, one is the cold winter and the other is the warm spring. A scarlet blanket was spread from the doorway to the steps and under the dragon chair. The slave stepped on the carpet, and it was soft, like stepping on the grass in spring. On both sides of the square steps, there are two blue and white lotus crane pattern sushi button smokers, which are burned with ambergris, and the faint fragrance is invisibly filled in the whole hall.
Emperor Yuan An was sitting upright, and beside him stood two palace maids carrying gold and two palace maids holding golden fans. On the left and right sides of the lower are the crown prince Dongli Yi, the fifth prince Dongli Yun, the sixth prince Dongli Mingrui, the eighth prince Dongli Yuyang, and the eldest princess of Yongshou.
Nu'er knelt down straight and bowed for a long time, "Nu'er to meet Your Majesty, to meet Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and to meet the princes!" ”
"Flat." Emperor Yuan An waved his hand.
The eldest princess on the side said with a smile, "Your Majesty really has a good eye, this palace looks at the water spirit born by this county lord, and it is a little familiar." When she grows up in the future, she must be a beautiful woman. ”
This longevity princess is the younger sister of Emperor Yuan'an, nicknamed Zhezhe. Not only is the Queen Mother favored, but Emperor Yuan An himself also likes this sister. The eldest princess's concubine is the champion of the year, after Emperor Yuan An ascended the throne, he will be a guest from the second cabinet bachelor, although it is an idle position, but it is better than the official quality, giving the eldest princess enough face. What's more, the colt itself is an appendage of the princess, no matter what the official is, others will always call it a colt.
Emperor Yuan An beckoned to Nu'er, "Come here." ”
The slave slowly walked towards Emperor Yuan'an, and in the midst of everyone's shocked gaze, he walked up the steps step by step, and walked to his father, who had always been respected by the princes and had a trace of fear. Nu'er smiled sweetly at Emperor Yuan An, her eyes were wide open, as if she could speak. Emperor Yuan An picked up the slave, let her sit on the empty seat beside him, and asked, "Why did the little slave suddenly come to see me?" ”
"Nu'er......" Nu'er deliberately lowered his head so that Emperor Yuan An could see the tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong? But someone is bullying you? Emperor Yuan An asked blindly.
The slave hurriedly shook her head, "The slave is a little homesick...... Your Majesty Rende, can you let the slave go home and stay for a few days? ”
"I was homesick!" Emperor Yuan An stretched out his hand to scratch the slave's nose, "Why don't I treat you well?" I've only been staying for a few days, and I want to go back. ”
"Of course Your Majesty treats slaves! Just ......"
"It's just that the slave came into the palace in a hurry, and some of the mother's old things haven't had time to be cleaned up. The slave wants to go home this time to clean up, and then go to say goodbye to her mother. The slave said this sincerely, and Emperor Yuan An was immediately moved by her filial piety, so he nodded, "That's it, since that's the case, I will go back to the house to live for three days, and send more palace people to serve." ”
Nu'er was overjoyed, "Thank you for your kindness." ”
