must have fun

Chapter 21

Therefore, Shu Dianhe let the dumb slave stay here on the grounds that the medicine courtyard and the two cranes left by the master need to be guarded, and that he will be back soon.

The dumb slave thought that what Shu Dianhe said made sense, so he agreed to stay, but he was still worried that Shu Dianhe would go to Kyoto alone, and asked how long it would take for Shu Dianhe to come back.

Shu Dianhe couldn't answer for a moment.

Investigating the truth, unlike treating a disease, can have an accurate return date.

She wasn't sure how long it would take to find out her background, but she couldn't bear to see the lonely eyes of the dumb slave, so she could only say as soon as possible, or when she needed it, she would let the dumb slave take the crane with him. , and went to Kyoto to find her together.

Under the worried eyes of the dumb slave, Shu Dianhe embarked on the road to the capital alone.

In the palace, Xuancheng, who was sleeping soundly, was dragged out of the warm bed by the cotton wool in the early morning.

"Mian'er, what are you doing?" Xuancheng fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly felt a chill in his body, and wanted to pull the quilt to cover himself, but he couldn't touch the quilt no matter how hard he opened his eyes, and saw Mian'er. The son looked anxious.

"Princess, wake up quickly, have you forgotten that the emperor wants you to go to the imperial study today?"

Mian'er stood by the bed, took the princess's hand, and pulled it up with great effort, trying to forcibly pull Xuancheng up.

Mian'er, who had come over and shouted several times but couldn't see the princess getting up, had no choice but to make a bad move.

Knowing Xuancheng's temper well, she would rather bear the storm of the princess than disobey the emperor's order.

But Xuancheng's body seemed to be one with the bed board, it took her a lot of effort to pull Xuancheng up a little bit, and after only a moment of relief, Xuancheng threw himself back on the bed in the blink of an eye.

Tired and sweaty, Mian'er almost cried out, took a deep breath, grabbed Xuancheng's shoulders, and shook for a while: "Princess, wake up!! If you don't get up again, it will be too late!!"

Her efforts were like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response. What was even more annoying was that under such circumstances, Xuancheng could still sleep.

Mian'er had no choice but to use his trump card, cleared his throat, and shouted into Xuancheng's ear: "The emperor is here!"

Who knows, the trump card is useless now, Xuancheng murmured: "Father is here? Please sit down, please sit down, Rong Erchen will... sleep for a while..." Turning over while talking, He hugged the quilt beside him in his arms.

Mian'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she jumped angrily, just when she was about to go out and ask Nanny Chu to come in and wake up the princess, the person on the bed asked quietly, "What do you want me to do in the royal study?"

Her mind seemed to be filled with mud, and after thinking about it for a long time, she vaguely remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

Mian'er came out of desperation, Yixi hurriedly said: "I don't know, but it should be an important matter, princess, you should get up quickly. Otherwise, the emperor will blame you, and the servants can't bear it."

"What time is it?" Xuancheng obviously didn't give up, and if it was still early, no one could stop her from sleeping for a while.

"Go back to the princess, it's almost time." Mian'er glanced at the door guiltily, she knew that if the princess didn't get up again, Nanny Chu would come to invite her in person.

Xuancheng struggled to raise one hand, his face was still pressed against the pillow, reluctantly said: "Help me get up."

Mian'er first quickly helped Xuancheng, who was covered in cartilage, to put on the dress, and then forced her down in front of the dressing table.

The messy hair became docile under Mian'er's hands, and the complicated bun was tied up in no time.

Not long after, Xuancheng appeared in the imperial study, still looking as if he hadn't woken up.

She feebly bowed to the emperor who was sitting on top of her: "I will see my father."

Lu Meng was condescending, saw her like this, and said with a straight face: "I called you here today for something important, do you know?"

Xuancheng didn't realize the meaning of her father's words, and nodded ignorantly.

The emperor sighed angrily, and waved to the maids who followed Xuancheng, signaling them to take Xuancheng behind the screen next to him.

The ministers entered the palace in the early morning, and after the early court, they were announced by the emperor to the imperial study.

At this time, they had been waiting outside for more than half an hour. No one knew why the emperor suddenly called them here today, let alone the fact that they waited for so long because the princess was lying in bed and did not want to wake up.

Among them, some careful people had already noticed that most of the ministers present were young and unmarried, and their minds became active.

Both feet were numb from standing for a long time, and some ministers were not too early before entering the palace, and their stomachs growled with hunger.

Just when they were worried about how long they had to wait, the middle official who announced the decree came out of the imperial study slowly and announced them to have an audience.

All the ministers moved after hearing the news, and immediately started to move. First, let the numb legs and feet return to normal, so as not to bump into the emperor because of the inconvenient legs and feet after entering the imperial study.

Xuancheng supported her heavy head with one hand, squinted her eyes slightly, and yawned shallowly, watching all the ministers file in, puzzled, the emperor couldn't hear Xuancheng's slander, and through discussion In the name of state affairs, he called the young and unmarried ministers to him one by one to talk to him.

The content of their discussion was nothing more than military and political affairs and the well-being of the people. Xuancheng couldn't understand, and after listening to a few words, he became tired, his eyelids stuck together uncontrollably, and his head moved forward from time to time.

Mian'er, who was standing behind her, felt uneasy, lest the princess would fall to the ground in front of her eyes, and wanted to protect the princess, but this was the imperial study room, she was a little maid, how dare she move.

Sitting in Lu Meng's position, as long as he turned his head slightly, he could clearly see Xuancheng's posture behind the screen from the corner of his eye.

He clenched a fist with one hand, put it under his lips, coughed lightly, and wanted to remind Xuancheng to pay attention.Unexpectedly, Xuancheng still lowered his head and ignored him.

The old father had a calm face, and he even pulled the top men in the country to her. A heart that loves women can be learned from the world, but she doesn't know how to cherish it at all.

Lu Meng's old face can't be held anymore, the boss of La, if it's not because the ministers are here, he will definitely scold Xuancheng.

But in the final analysis, it was his beloved daughter, so his so-called scolding was nothing more than talking about Xuancheng's ear.If Xuancheng was scolded and cried, he would be the one who felt distressed in the end.

The emperor, who was helpless with his daughter, hummed unhappily.Zuo Huai stood by Lu Meng's side, followed his gaze, understood, left Lu Meng without a trace, came behind the screen and whispered a few words to Xuancheng.

What?Father is asking her to look at the son-in-law?It was as if someone poured cold water on Xuancheng's head, and he woke up immediately.

She verified whether she heard wrongly, and got Zuo Huai's nod of approval.

Xuancheng couldn't sit still immediately, so she didn't want to marry these pedantic old coffin boards who only talk about words but also have ethics.

She stood up abruptly, wanting to discuss an explanation with her father, but she didn't notice the screen that was only a few feet away in front of her, and accidentally bumped her head into the screen.

Maybe she used too much force, the screen with the inscription made of silk couldn't withstand her impact, and it crashed down on the space separating her from the minister.

Everyone present, including the emperor, was stunned.

It just so happened that he had just ordered Liang Zhengxu to be the current imperial servant, and he came up to him, wanting Xuancheng to see the candidate he had favored for her. The unwitted ministers were the first to react, and immediately lowered their heads, pretending not to see anything.

Although the defense of men and women is not so strict, men and women cannot meet in public places.

But Xuancheng is the proud daughter of the sky after all, let alone in front of the emperor, how dare they look up and look straight at her without embellishment.

But all officials of some status are very sensible and cherish their lives.

Xuancheng also came back to her senses, she didn't care so much, she stepped over the screen that fell on the ground carelessly, rushed to the front of the emperor, opened her mouth to speak, but looked at the ministers below, and stopped in time Huatou.

She didn't want everyone who announced her marriage to know that her father was shameless, but she also wanted to look at her father with a pair of bright eyes and feel resentment.

Lu Meng, who was afraid that she would say something shocking, heaved a sigh of relief, secretly glad that Xuancheng still knew the general idea.

In order to restore his already shattered face, with only a little face left, Lu Meng coughed, released the stillness of the people present, and said calmly: "Let's talk about this today, the political affairs just now, you first Go back and think about how to deal with it." But his stiff body still exposed his embarrassment at this time.

All the ministers obeyed the imperial edict, and after Qi Qi bid farewell to the emperor, they exited the imperial study one after another in an orderly manner.

When the last minister was about to turn around and leave, a menacing "Father, I don't want to marry!", despite his extreme reluctance, came into his ears along with the wind.

The minister's back felt cold, and he sweated profusely. He immediately stepped up and left in a hurry, for fear that he would be charged with spying on the privacy of the royal family in half a second at night.

When he followed the footsteps of his colleagues and walked to the palace road, he found that his colleagues hadn't gone far, so he hurried to catch up.

Just in time, I heard their colleagues gathered together in groups of three or four, and while walking slowly, you and I whispered to each other discussing the purpose of the emperor calling them to the imperial study today.

There was no major event in the court recently, the emperor suddenly called them over, and Princess Xuancheng was also present, the emperor's purpose was clearly revealed, the older ministers who are already married may not care.

But those officials who have not married wives must take it to heart, which is closely related to their future official career.

Princess Xuancheng has turned 16 years old, and it is estimated that she will get married in a year or two. Could it be that the son-in-law will be selected from among them?

When they mentioned the title of Princess Xuancheng, a cough interrupted their chat.
