Chapter 174: Return to the Central Plains
Su Bufan walked outside an inn and patted the dust off his body and face.
Taking a deep breath, to be honest, Su Bufan was also a little apprehensive in his heart, it was evening at this moment, and there was a big deviation from the originally agreed time.
Su Bufan walked outside an inn and patted the dust off his body and face.
Taking a deep breath, to be honest, Su Bufan was also a little apprehensive in his heart, it was evening at this moment, and there was a big deviation from the originally agreed time.
But it should be faced, Su Bufan gritted his teeth and stepped into the inn, and a rather obese woman came to him.
Seeing this woman, Su Bufan's heart beat more and more, as if it had been raised to his throat.
When the fat woman saw Su Bufan, she was slightly stunned, and then showed a distressed look, "Oh, Xiaofan, what's wrong with you? If someone bullies you, you have to tell the fat aunt." ”
As soon as the fat woman raised her hand, Su Bufan subconsciously closed her eyes and raised her arm.
Feeling cold on his face, and without any pain, Su Bufan slowly opened his eyes, only to see that the fat aunt was holding a towel in her hand, gently wiping the blood stains on her face for herself.
Su Bufan was flattered by this move, and even wondered if she had made a mistake?
It is absolutely good for no reason, at this moment, the fat aunt is like a beast in human skin, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the word human-faced beast heart is used on this person.
It's no wonder that Su Bufan is like this, compared to the snarky and mean-spirited on weekdays, beating and scolding from time to time, and now this behavior is no different from a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken.
"Don't do it like this, go to your room and rest. ”
The fat aunt's words pulled Su Bufan back from his thoughts, he was so tired at the moment, he just wanted to sleep well, hoping to eliminate the pain in his body.
Even if the fat aunt said so, then she accepted her kindness, and didn't think about why she was like this.
Su Bufan hurriedly thanked the fat aunt, and couldn't wait to go to the room.
The fat aunt looked at Su Bufan's departing back until he disappeared from her sight, holding her chin in her hand and not knowing what she was thinking.
As soon as Su Bufan lay down and put it on, his eyes just closed, and he lost consciousness.
In the center of the imperial capital, in this huge and gorgeous imperial palace.
In one of these palaces, the furnishings in the palace are quite extraordinary and breathtaking.
A very young man, wearing a nightgown full of gold thread, there was no expression on his face, but when he was close to it, there was an invisible coercion in the air.
The coercion that makes sentient beings tremble, the coercion that makes sentient beings kneel for them.
Outside the hall, there was an old man, holding a whisk in his hand, and he quickly stepped into this magnificent palace with small steps, even though his steps were fast, he did not make any sound.
"Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the princess has left the palace and has now returned to Qingshui Wanyuan, it seems that she may not enter the palace in the near future. The old man bowed in his high-pitched and high-pitched voice.
This man in a gold-silk nightgown is the monarch of the vast empire, Emperor Jie!
Emperor Jie stopped the movement in his hand, put the sword in his hand on the table, sighed slightly, and had a smile on his face, "Is this to avoid me?"
"That's it, that's it, it's the day of the palace test in a few days, and I don't have the heart to take care of her, and after this matter is over, I will have a good fight with her. Emperor Jie's deep gaze looked somewhere.
Seeing His Majesty like this, the old man couldn't help but persuade him, "Your Majesty, don't worry, the eldest princess has her own blessings, and she must focus on the dragon body!"
"Do you know what the people of the world think?" Emperor Jie glanced at the old man beside him and asked him.
The old man looked bitter and replied respectfully, "This ...... The minions don't know. ”
"I don't know, I'm afraid I don't dare to say it, right?" Emperor Jie teased with his lukewarm words as he stared at the old man's face.
The old man was shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly, "Your Majesty is angry, it's the old ...... of anger."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Emperor Jie's hand, "No matter how angry I am, I won't blame you." ”
"Emperor Jiedi has a daughter, her appearance is like a fairy, are half-old, and no one marries her!" Emperor Jiedi said this poem leisurely, with no waves on his face, but he didn't know his heart......
The old man saw that His Majesty was lowering his head, as if he was thinking about something, and respectfully persuaded, "Your Majesty doesn't have to pay attention to other people's words, the princess is twenty-eight years old, not yet thirty and a girl, how can the say." ”
"What's the difference!" Listening to the words containing anger, the old man was startled, and he waited respectfully, not daring to respond.
"Okay, after the palace test, you can announce her to enter the palace, there can be no delay in this matter, and she will retreat if she has nothing to do. Emperor Jie waved his hand to the old man and ordered.
The old man bowed and replied, "Oh, the old slave will retire." ”
The old man bowed his body and walked out of the hall quickly with small steps, and Emperor Jiedi in the hall picked up the sword on the table again and looked at it carefully.
Somewhere in the imperial capital, in a spacious courtyard, a woman in white sits on a stone bench, holding a fluffy white rabbit in her arms, her big bright eyes staring straight at the pool ahead.
A maid-like woman walked quickly to her side, bowed and stood silently.
"How's it going?" the woman in white gently stroked the white rabbit in her arms, and asked the maid beside her in her lukewarm words.
The maid replied respectfully, "Princess, the emperor has no intention of inviting the princess into the palace. ”
The princess had a smile on her face, and it would be the palace test in a few days, and the father and emperor were afraid that they had no intention of taking care of themselves these days, and their hearts were relieved when they thought about it.
"It's just ......" The maid beside the princess stopped talking, which made the princess frown slightly, and couldn't help but reprimand angrily, "If you have something to say, say it." ”
As soon as the princess said this, the maid was even more panicked, but she still asked the doubts in her heart, "The person chosen by the princess may be inappropriate, this person is a wild man in a mountain village, how can I ......?"
The princess stretched out her slender jade hand to stop the maid's words, with a little playfulness on her face, "If you want him, he has no power and powerless, and if you want it, he is cowardly and incompetent, isn't this person the easiest to control?"
Suddenly, he heard that there was a little noise in the room, Su Bufan opened his eyes in a daze, and he saw the guys in the store, Brother Ding standing in the room.
"Oh, I wanted to take it easy, but I woke you up. ”
Su Bufan looked at Brother Ding's self-reproachful expression and smiled at him, "It's okay, I don't know what time it is?"
"It's time. Brother Ding walked to Su Bufan's bedside and handed him a bottle of medicinal wine.
Su Bufan looked at Brother Ding with gratitude on his face, Brother Ding was a little uncomfortable staring at him, and couldn't help waving his hand and said, "You should take care of each other when you go out, I see the injuries on your body, because you were beaten, right?"
Su Bufan nodded, remembering the picture at that time today, his eyes were full of anger.
Brother Ding took the medicinal wine in Su Bufan's hand, poured some on his hand, and kept rubbing his hands, "You hurry up and lie down, and I'll wipe your back for you." ”
After Su Bufan took off his clothes and lay down, a pair of big hands were placed on his back, and a hot pain came, making him grit his teeth and not dare to scream.
His face was already flushed, and the blue veins on his face were quite hideous.
"There are many dignitaries and nobles in the imperial capital, so you have to be more careful when you go out. ”
Brother Ding wiped the medicinal wine for Su Bufan and admonished him.
Su Bufan secretly recorded Brother Ding's warning in his heart, but the anger in his heart did not decrease by half a point against the person who injured him.
I can also accept those who bully me and insult me, and I will want you to return those who insult my loved ones.
"Fat Aunt is in a good mood today, she is so kind to me. ”
Hearing Su Bufan's question, Brother Ding raised his head and looked at him, "Don't accept the good of others so quickly, she is just afraid that if you are in the middle of the move, you will ask for the guilt after the autumn." ”
"Brother Shetin taught. Su Bufan's heart was already mixed, but he didn't expect it to be because of this, thinking of this, Su Bufan couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.
"Okay, there's a bowl of somen noodles on the table, fill your stomach first and then go to rest, I'll go wash up first. ”
Brother Ding said that, and stepped out of the door, Su Bufan's stomach was already empty, and he couldn't wait to run to the table, and swallowed the noodles in a few bites.
Su Bufan looked at the door, his body that had rubbed the medicine was no longer so painful, the breeze was blowing, and it was a little cool.
Brother Ding, don't worry, if one day I Su Bufan becomes famous, I will never forget your kindness.
The three days are fleeting, and soon the day of the announcement will come.
Su Bufan got up very early today, and hurried to the Gongyuan without even eating breakfast, but he didn't expect that he was not the first, and a bunch of people had gathered outside the gate of the Gongyuan.
In front of the Tribute Temple, a huge plaque has appeared at some point, and a bright red cloth covers the plaque to cover its contents.
There are a large number of people who will take the exam, but there are only a dozen or so people who want to make the list.
It can be seen how fierce the competition is, and only a dozen or so people have the opportunity to enter the palace to try.
Even if the entrants fail to win the first place, their positions are arranged, and if they are lucky enough to win His Majesty's appreciation, even if they don't win the first place, they will have great luck.
"Here, Lord Waiter of the Ministry of Rites is here, and the list is going to be revealed. ”
When everyone heard the voice, they looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and saw a polite and elegant man, followed by four ceremonial ministers and a group of principals, surrounded by everyone.
Su Bufan clasped his hands and watched the waiter of the Ministry of Rites walk to the front of the plaque, his palms were already oozing a little sweat, and his heart was beating violently.
The words spoken by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites were ignored by Su Bufan, and his eyes were staring at the plaque, and finally the waiter of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, and with a wave of his big hand, he pulled the red cloth on the plaque down.
Su Bufan stared intently at the plaque in front of him, and the names came to his mind, no! No! No!
Boom! It was like being struck by thunder in my head, and the noise of the outside world could no longer be heard, only the sound of lingering tinnitus in my head.
His blood-colored face turned pale in an instant, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and suddenly lost his strength under his feet, causing him to sit on the ground, and his eyes gradually lost their light.
