Chapter 19: Get under the seat
When we arrived near the south gate, there was already a carriage waiting there, the carriage looked very simple, the wooden frame, with blue curtains hanging on both sides, there was no door leaf, only a coarse cloth and a wooden curtain to block the doorway.
The horses didn't look very energetic, their breath was dying, and their manes were knotted.
An ordinary-looking young man stood beside the carriage with a horse rope, dressed in a coarse cloth coat, but the clothes were gray, with a few patches on them, and most importantly, a piece of cloth wrapped around his head.
The young man saw the eldest duke walking far away with Ji Xingzhi in his arms, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Subordinate Liu Yang to see the emperor!" After a pause, he greeted the Grand Duke: "Grand Duke." ”
The Grand Duke nodded slightly and said, "Lord Liu, please get up." Are things all arranged? ”
Liu Yang straightened up and said, "According to the meaning of the grand duke, it has been arranged." ”
The eldest duke nodded, hugged Ji Xingzhi and walked to the carriage, Liu Yang saw this and stepped forward to lift the curtain.
The eldest duke sat in the carriage with Ji Xingzhi in his arms, and took the initiative to explain without Ji Xingzhi asking: "Liu Yang is the royal guard, and he is ordered by the emperor to protect your safety, the emperor doesn't look at his young age, his martial arts are first-class in the palace." ”
Ji Xingzhi nodded, she naturally wouldn't look down on others because of Liu Yang's young age, if it weren't for her stunts, how could Liu Yang have the ability to become a royal guard? How could he get the appreciation of the pit daddy to take care of her safety? Although the pit daddy is sometimes a little unreliable, sometimes it is still a bit of a spectrum.
"Let's go." Ji Xingzhi said lightly.
The immature voice sounded in the carriage, Liu Yang was slightly stunned, although he was the emperor's Mingwei, but it was the first time he saw the holy face, the reason was that the palace was too peaceful, there was no place for him, and he would catch those spies who wanted to infiltrate the power center of the palace when he was idle. I have long heard that the emperor can speak well and witty when he is a young man, but now listening to this voice, although it is immature, it has its own momentum, not slow, not urgent, not light, not heavy, but people dare not underestimate it.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Liu Yang said "yes", and then drove his horse to the exit of the south gate.
"Your Majesty, when you went out of the palace for a while, I wronged you to hide under the car seat, and the old slave changed the car seat to a hollow one, and there was a soft cushion inside, if you are sleepy, you can take a nap for a while." As soon as the carriage moved, the Grand Duke said to Ji Xingzhi with a dry smile.
The eldest duke got up and bent down to uncover the seat, and there was indeed a space that could accommodate a child, and the ground was really embroidered with an upholstered cushion, and two holes were pierced on the side seat for gas.
Ji Xingzhi looked at it, the corners of her mouth twitched, and said, "Why can't I pretend to be a palace person?" ”
The eldest duke was a little embarrassed: "The emperor and the palace have no other children except you, Princess Ruhua, and Prince Wan, let alone a one-year-old child." ”
Ji Xingzhi sighed, okay, who let her cheat the father only has a daughter-in-law of the queen mother, Ji Xingzhi admitted and hid in.
Although Ji Xingzhi hid under the seat, she kept paying attention to the movement outside, probably when the carriage was stopped by the guards when she crossed the south gate, and as soon as the grand duke appeared, she said lightly, "Our family has something to do out of the palace for a while", and the guards let him go.
Later, there were two more stops, and the Grand Duke showed his face twice, and the guards let him go again.
Although Ji Xingzhi was happy that it was easy to come out, but at the same time, he felt that the guards were too lax and did not check carefully, although it was the eldest duke in the carriage, but he couldn't show his face and let it go!
