Chapter 168: Interlude in the Palace
Ouyang Bo smiled at He Xiaoling and said, "Miss He is the apprentice of Yin Yijian of the Carefree Sect?"
He Xiaoling hugged her fists and said: "My master is Lu Erniang." ”
Ouyang Bo nodded, looked at Yang Fan and said, "Your ...... Marquis Yang, how could you make such a big move when you entered Beijing this time?"
Yang Fan: "Uncle Ouyang, now is not the time to talk about that, how is my father's situation now?"
Ouyang Bo sighed and said, "Emperor...... Your father has an old injury, in order to go to Tianmen Mansion to reunite with you a few years ago, he traveled all the way, but he suffered from the cold, and after returning to Beijing, he worked state affairs, and finally fainted, after these days of recuperation, he has improved, but his body is still very weak. ”
Yang Fan said anxiously: "Uncle Ouyang, can you take me to see my father?"
Ouyang Tao glanced at He Xiaoling beside Yang Fan in embarrassment.
Yang Fan understood what Ouyang Bo meant, his identity was sensitive, and the less people knew, the better, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoling, you are waiting for me here, I will go to see my father, and I will come to meet you after the meeting." ”
He Xiaoling frowned, shook her head and said, "I'll go with you." ”
He Xiaoling was worried about Yang Fan's body, and she was also afraid that Yang Fan would leave alone because she was afraid of affecting herself, before entering Beijing, she was in danger every step of the way, and after entering Beijing, this was at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and King Ning, whom Yang Fan had to deal with, also lived here.
Yang Fan thought for a while, then said, "Uncle Ouyang, take us in." ”
Ouyang Bo nodded: "I'll arrange it." ”
Yang Fan and He Xiaoling changed into a Praetorian Guard costume and followed Ouyang Bo all the way to the core of Kyoto, Daxing Imperial Palace.
He Xiaoling looked at the majestic and dust-free palace gate, and couldn't help but feel palpitations.
He Xiaoling never dreamed that she would be able to walk into this gate in her lifetime, and after entering the palace gate, she followed Ouyang Bo all the way in, and finally stopped in front of the gate of Tianqian Palace.
The eunuch Tian Wen stepped forward, swept over Yang Fan and He Xiaoling with a puzzled look, and then looked at Ouyang Bo with a smile: "How could Mr. Ouyang have time to visit the Holy Lord?"
Ouyang Bo: "There is a message from Lao Tian's father-in-law, Ouyang Bo and Yang Fan, the loyal and righteous marquis, came to meet the saint. ”
At this time, a girl in palace clothes came out of the Tianqian Palace, and said to Ouyang Bofuli: "The queen asks Mr. Ouyang to speak in the palace. ”
Ouyang Bo turned to Yang Fan and said, "Marquis Yang is here for a while." ”
Ouyang Bo walked into the Tianqian Hall with the palace girl.
He Xiaoling's heart was pounding, this was the palace inside, why did Yang Fan come here? Isn't he going to see his father?
He Xiaoling looked at Yang Fan suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "Yang Fan, why did we come here?"
Yang Fan smiled faintly: "You'll know later, today's matter, please don't spread it." ”
He Xiaoling nodded, stood quietly aside, and stopped talking.
Nearly half an hour has passed, Ouyang Bo still hasn't come out of the Tianqian Palace, Yang Fan felt a little tired when he stood up, and when he saw a pavilion next to him, he pulled He Xiaoling and walked over.
He Xiaoling was still a little scared in her heart, this is the palace, if the rules are broken, it will be a terrible thing.
Yang Fancai didn't care about that much, and pulled He Xiaoling to sit on the stone bench, and some fruits were put on the stone platform, which looked very fresh.
Yang Fan smiled, isn't this palace his own home? This thing is also his own thing, unceremoniously picked up a bunch of grapes, peeled the skin and handed it to He Xiaoling: "It looks good, you can taste it." ”
He Xiaoling swallowed her saliva, she was already a little thirsty, and when she smelled the grape smell again, her saliva suddenly burst out, but this is the palace, and I don't know who put this thing here, how can I take it and eat it at will?
He Xiaoling shook her head and said in a low voice: "Yang Fan, if we do this, it will bring trouble to your Uncle Ouyang." ”
Yang Fan smiled, took the grapes and stuffed them into He Xiaoling's mouth: "It's okay, just eat a few grapes, it's a big deal to compensate them." ”
He Xiaoling felt the sweetness in her mouth, so she had to chew and swallow it twice, as if she had committed some kind of big crime.
Not long after, a eunuch with floating dust accompanied a woman in palace clothes came over and saw Yang Fan and the two sitting in the pavilion.
The eunuch pointed at Yang Fan and scolded: "Bold slave, who let you steal food here, you won't come to salute when you see Concubine Chang." ”
Yang Fan's heart was shocked, Concubine Chang, that is her father's wife, and she can be regarded as her own stepmother, this face is always given, so she hurriedly pulled He Xiaoling to get up, and said to the woman in palace clothes: "See Concubine Chang's mother." ”
Concubine Chang looks like she is in her thirties, her face is pretty, and she is not even inferior to He Xiaoling, but her eyes are a little arrogant, and she raised her head and snorted: "Which team are you from? How dare you steal food here?"
Yang Fan frowned and said, "No one eats this thing here, so I tasted it, could it be that Concubine Chang put it here?"
Concubine Chang pursed her lips, this is the Tianqian Palace, with her identity, where is she qualified to eat in the pavilion here, and if she can put it here, it can only be the emperor or the queen.
Now that the emperor is in poor health, she can only come to visit occasionally, if it is usual, if it is not summoned by the emperor, even she will not be able to set foot in the Tianqian Palace.
"Even if it's not from the palace, you can't eat it without permission, as a Praetorian Guard, but you are derelict in your duties, and steal the palace meals, you should be punished, Xiao Lizi, write down their names, and let the leader of the Praetorian Guard deal with it according to military law. ”
The eunuch named Xiao Lizi stepped forward with a sneer: "Hurry up and report your name, wait for the punishment." ”
Yang Fan said with a smile: "According to military law, how should we be punished?"
Xiao Li Zi sneered: "If you neglect your duties in the palace, you will be killed with a cane." ”
Yang Fan sat on the stone bench with a fart~ strand, picked up the grapes and stuffed them into his mouth, and said with a smile: "I'm going to die with a cane anyway, so I'll eat more." ”
He Xiaoling on the side was already scared into a cold sweat, this Yang Fan was too bold, offended the concubine Chang Niangniang, this is going to be a big deal.
Concubine Chang frowned, and said angrily: "Bold slave, dare to be so presumptuous in front of this palace, Xiao Lizi, open your mouth for me." ”
Xiao Lizi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Yang Fan.
Yang Fan's eyes sharpened, and he shouted: "You dare!"
Xiao Lizi was frightened, he had never seen a Praetorian Guard dare to be so arrogant in front of his concubines, and looking at the other party's eyes, he slapped him out, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take it back.
How can Concubine Chang stand it, a Praetorian Guard dares to talk back, it is simply unreasonable, she walked towards Yang Fan, and said hatefully: "Useless slave, this palace will open your mouth in person." ”。
At this time, a voice said coldly: "Concubine Chang, what are you doing here?"
A middle-aged man in a yellow robe walked slowly under Ouyang Bo's support.
