Chapter 326: Entering the Palace
No matter how bumpy the road is, at least you don't have to walk on two legs.
Although Ning Pengpeng gritted his teeth in his heart, on the surface, he did not show half of his emotions.
After all, he followed Xie Futai to Beijing.
If he expresses his displeasure, although this Xie Futai is different from the corrupt official Lai Xingchun, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have opinions and pimples about himself.
She is not a real old lady Ning, nor is she a real ancient person, she has been a subordinate in the modern workplace for so many years, so she naturally knows how to coax her boss.
The best performance is naturally that you are willing to do whatever your boss asks you to do, and you are willing to do it.
Only in this way will the boss feel that you are a tool that is easy to call.
However, fortunately, there was a child named Xiao Cui along the way, and she thought that he must be that kind of gentleman when he was with the stupid son of Master Hou.
Unexpectedly, Cui Xiu's performance along the way completely surprised her.
It can be said that when she set off from Mingzhou Mansion, she still kept a certain distance from Cui Xiu.
After all, such a bear child is still a bear child with a powerful background, and he will not be provoked if he can not be provoked.
Although he and Youxi were tied up together and fled back together, no one knows if the other party still remembers the fact that he was beaten in Dajue Temple before.
Not to mention, if he doesn't like others to mention the embarrassment of being kidnapped and escaping, as an insider, he always stands in front of him, isn't that hateful?

Unexpectedly, Cui Xiu was polite to her along the way, and she was very polite.
From the very beginning, the two Mrs. Ning, Cui Gongzi, who called each other, when they approached the capital, the two were already Aunt Ning and Xiao Cui called each other!
Xie Qiping has nothing to say about this dialogue between the old and the young, from the shock at the beginning.
He didn't believe that Cui Xiu, a child of a family, would call an old lady from the countryside so affectionately.
Ke Ning's family, Xie Qiping couldn't figure out what was there to attract Cui Xiu.
However, Xie Qiping quickly came to his senses, and vigilantly asked people to keep an eye on Cui Xiu to see if he had anything to do with Mrs. Ning about the sweet potato.
In addition to sweet potatoes, Xie Qiping couldn't think of anything else in the Ning family that would cause Cui Xiu's enthusiasm?
Until he arrived in the capital, Xie Qiping directly sent someone to send Cui Xiu to Cui's house.
Seeing Cui Xiu reluctantly saying goodbye to Mrs. Ning, and saying that he had time to visit Mrs. Ning again, Xie Qiping only felt that the hairs on his back stood up.
scolded from the bottom of his heart, the children of the family in the capital are really scheming.
If he wasn't afraid that Cui Xiu would have an accident in Mingzhou Mansion and the Cui family would blame him, he wouldn't have been in such a hurry to let Cui Xiu follow him and Mrs. Ning into Beijing together!
There are many long nights and dreams, and it seems that Cui Xiu must have seen some clues.
He had to take Mrs. Ning and the basket of sweet potatoes into the palace before Cui Xiu had made it clear to the Cui family.
Seeing Cui Xiu's carriage walking away, Xie Qiping was not ready to go back to his mansion in the capital, so he hurriedly greeted the coachman and drove the carriage towards the palace.
When he arrived at the gate of the palace, Xie Qiping took out the token in his arms, and the guards guarding the palace gate saw this, and hurriedly asked people to open the door and let Xie Qiping in.
However, the carriage that Xie Qiping and Ning Pengpeng were riding in could no longer be sitting!
Instead, he changed a carriage in the palace, and Ning Pengpeng originally thought that it was made for Xie Futai and himself.
Unexpectedly, Xie Qiping directly asked the guards to carry the basket of sweet potatoes up, and then beckoned Ning Pengpeng and followed the carriage forward.
Ning Pengpeng's mouth twitched fiercely, his legs were not worth as much as this sweet potato?
Sweet potatoes are eligible to ride in a carriage, but they have to walk!
It's just that people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads, not to mention that this is still the palace, the home of the lord of the world.
Xie Futai may have been used to walking before, so he didn't feel tired at all, and Ning Pengpeng trotted just before he lost his breath.
However, the carriage could only be delivered half the way, and when it reached the second gate, the basket of sweet potatoes was no longer the honor of riding in the carriage.
Instead of being carried by two sturdy eunuchs, the speed is not so fast now.
Ning Pengpeng had the spirit to look around secretly.
I have to say that the modern Forbidden City is compared with here, half a catty.
Why do you say that it is half a catty, naturally because the Forbidden City is mainly uninhabited, although some people have been repairing, but after all, it has been so many years, plus no one has been living in it, there is always a feeling of beauty twilight, hero aging.
However, the imperial palace here is naturally resplendent and meticulous.
Let's not mention the rows of eunuchs and palace maids, as well as the brick walls, the brushes are snow-white, and the ground is clean enough to be used as a mirror.
If you think about it, you also know that there is an emperor living there, who dares to make the palace in tatters and old?
It's just that, in this way, in Ning Pengpeng's eyes, she naturally feels that there is no historical precipitation, which is why she thinks it is half a catty!
However, after Ning Pengpeng finished peeking at it, he immediately lowered his head, although he was slandered in his heart, his face was the appearance of an honest and honest quail.
"Father-in-law Li, can the emperor be in the palace?"
Although Xie Qiping was already here, there was a secret letter from the emperor, so that after he arrived in the capital, he could directly enter the palace to meet him.
However, even if this is the case, he has to ask first if His Majesty is free to see him.
Therefore, Xie Qiping treated Gonggong Li, who was His Majesty's personal eunuch, very politely.
After speaking, he reached out and stuffed a purse over.
"Master Xie, it's been a long time!"
Li Baotian pinched the purse with a smile, although it was not very bulging, but as soon as he pinched it, he knew what kind of gold and silver bills were inside, but a stack of paper.
I thought it was a silver ticket, and after confirming it, the smile on Li Baotian's face became more and more kind.
"The emperor just finished approving the recital, so he squinted his eyes, let's go in and help Lord Xie take a look, the emperor is willing to see you."
There are many meanings in his words, and Xie Qiping immediately thanked him.
"Then thank you Grandpa Li!"
Ning Pengpeng watched from the side, pulled the butt with a knife, and opened his eyes.
If she hadn't tasted it carefully, she really wouldn't have been able to taste the meaning of what this Gonggong Li said.
Soon, this Gonggong Li turned out of the hall and stretched out his hand to Xie Qiping and said.
"Lord Xie, the emperor summoned you...... Go into the temple. ”
When he talked about the back, Gonggong Li glanced at her as if he had just seen Ning Pengpeng, and then said.
Xie Qiping didn't dare to hesitate, and while beckoning Ning Pengpeng into the hall, he hurriedly commanded Ning Pengpeng.
"After entering, remember to bow your head and kowtow, don't look up at Long Yan."
Ning Pengpeng couldn't help but want to pout, watching costume dramas in modern times, she still knows this.
However, she followed Xie Qiping, but she didn't just want to be a simple tool person.
