Chapter 220: The Underworld (9)
Seeing him appear, Lord Le's original heart immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "Gongzi He is late!" ”
He Gongzi's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to smile: "I actually came to see it once just now, but I didn't see the adult, so I went to the side again, and I just heard a movement here and rushed over." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the end of the path and found that it was empty, and his eyes flashed: "Just now...... Someone seems to be passing through here! ”
"Hmm!" Hearing He Gongzi say that he had arrived just now, and found that it was actually himself who was late, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Lord Le's face, and he hurriedly said, "I met the queen mother just now to pick up the princess from school, so I delayed it a bit, fortunately, fortunately, fortunately you are nearby, hehe, we should also leave, in this palace, it is better not to stay for a long time!" ”
It's just that hearing his words, He Gongzi seemed to be stunned, he looked at the end of the path again, his voice seemed to be a little dumber, and his tone seemed to be lowered: "My lord is saying, just now...... Is it the queen mother? ”
"Exactly!" Lord Le nodded hurriedly, and at this time, he suddenly thought of the invitation of Her Royal Highness the princess just now, so he hurriedly said, "By the way, Gongzi He, I have something to discuss with you!" Son...... He Gongzi ......"
Master Le said, but found that He Gongzi seemed to be too quiet, he looked up at him, but saw that he was looking at the end of the path, as if he was in a daze, as if he was not listening to him at all.
He had to call out loudly again: "Gongzi He! He Gongzi? I have something to discuss with you! ”
At this time, He Gongzi seemed to come back to his senses, turned his head to look at Master Le, then lowered his eyes, and said absentmindedly: "What does Master Le command." ”
Seeing that he finally came back to his senses, Master Le said, "It's really ...... This is really a reluctant invitation, but I am afraid ...... 'M afraid...... You're going to come with me to a ceremony......"
"Lord Le!"
Without waiting for Le Yi to finish speaking, He Gongzi spoke again, his tone was full of loneliness and exhaustion, and he said lightly: "My lord, when I leave the palace, I may have to stay at home for a while, sort out what I have seen and heard over the years, I'm afraid I won't go out for a month or two."
Therefore, I am afraid that I will not be able to accompany Master Le to attend this ceremony! After all, on this occasion, with my appearance, it's better to show up less! ”
For He Gongzi's words, Master Le can still understand it very well, after all, his face has become like that, if it were him, he would not like to show his face.
However, Her Royal Highness the princess just now asked him to take him to attend, and the queen even invited him together, if he went alone, or brought someone else, I was afraid that it would not be appropriate.
Although he didn't know why the princess wanted him to take him too, but he was a foreign official, and now that the princess had an order, how could he disobey casually, so he naturally tried his best to persuade him.
However, this He Gongzi also looked very resolute, which made him hesitate a little, and he didn't know whether he should continue to insist on persuasion.
And at this time, under the leadership of the leading eunuch, He Gongzi had already followed behind him and walked in the direction of the exit, seeing that he was far away, Master Le couldn't help but chase after a few steps, and decided to persuade him in the end, which can be regarded as his best efforts.
Immediately, he walked behind Gongzi He and said in an embarrassed tone: "However, this time the princess specially told me, although it won't take long for me to go back, Gongzi He still has to stay in Liangjing for a while, it's always bad to offend the princess!" ”
