Last night, when the house came back from town, he made up for the etiquette in the palace for his in-laws. Early this morning, the father and daughter were tossed together. Under the leadership of Fang Fangzhen, they took a carriage to Miyagi and got off outside the Meridian Gate.
In the morning light, Su Ran was already waiting inside the palace gate. Seeing the handsome Mr. Su, Yu Xiaocao, who was a little nervous because she was about to go to the court hall, suddenly felt much more relaxed physically and mentally.
Mr. Su is the chief executive in charge of the internal affairs of the palace city, a person who is needed by the emperor. Didn't you see those civil servants and military officials who came to court, they all smiled and handed over a few words when they saw him? He personally came to pick up their father and daughter, what else is there to be afraid of
Anyway, the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not know that their father and daughter came from the countryside. If there is a lack of etiquette, it is reasonable and excusable, isn't it? Thinking of this, Yu Xiaocao's steps became lighter, and her cautious and timid attitude became calmer.
Anyway, there was still some time before going to court, so she couldn't help slowing down and enjoying the scenery of Miyagi. The pavilions with double eaves and pointed roofs protrude from the Meridian Gate, like five phoenixes about to fly, so the imperial city is also called Wufeng Tower.
Entering the Meridian Gate, five white marble bridges are juxtaposed across the moat, forming a fascinating picture with the majestic Meridian Gate and resplendent buildings. The exquisitely carved bridge railings are like strips of white jade belts, making Yu Xiaocao wish to dig a piece and take it home as a souvenir.
Reluctantly touching the white marble railing, Xiaocao raised her leg and was about to walk towards the bridge carved with dragons in the middle, but Su Ran grabbed her sleeve. Su Ran pointed to the stone bridge next to him, and said with a smile: "Let's go over there, the one in the middle is only for Long Live Lord. The rest of the dishes are for civil and military officials..."
Yu Xiaocao showed a dazed look, and took another look at the beautifully carved Panlong. Su Ran shook her head amusedly, and slowed down to match Xiaocao's speed.
After crossing five white marble bridges, after a short walk, a resplendent and magnificent palace came into view. This is the Jinluan Palace that frequently appears in dramas. Walking to the wide platform in front of the hall, Xiaocao saw lifelike bronze tortoises and bronze cranes. It seems that my younger brother who traveled to the Forbidden City in his previous life once said after returning that these graceful bronze sculptures symbolize this country for generations! She really can't see the connection!
She stopped, raised her neck, and saw a fairy sculpture riding a phoenix on the eaves of the palace, followed by many small animals of different shapes, all of them lifelike. The bright yellow glazed tiles of the palace, the vermilion pillars, painted in various colors, made her dizzy.
In the meeting place of the court, there unexpectedly appeared a little girl, she was leisurely and carefree, strolling in the courtyard, as if she was visiting her own garden. The civil and military officials who came to the court all looked sideways at him. What surprised them even more was that the person leading the way for the little girl was actually Su's chief steward who was beside the emperor! !
What is the origin of the little girl? The clothes and accessories on her body should look like a little girl from an official family, but they are just ordinary clothes after all! But Chief Su was very kind and accommodating to her. Chief Su's words and deeds represent the emperor! Does this mean that the emperor attaches great importance to this strange little girl
look! look! ! Isn't this little girl too casual? He actually touched the bronze crane in front of the Golden Luan Hall with his hand, thinking this is his own imperial garden? Manager Su didn't even reprimand and stop her, but stood beside her with a smile and waited for her! If it wasn't very clear that the emperor had only a five-year-old little princess under his knee, all the officials would have thought that the little girl was the emperor's favored princess!
Huh? Probably! ! The little girl looks about ten years old. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he liked to run around in the South China Sea, the North Central Plains and the West. Could it be that she was a lost pearl of the people? The ministers think more and more that it is possible! If it is a lady from a noble family in Beijing, whoever is not cautious in words and deeds will not dare to miss a step when entering the palace. Who dares to poke Tonghe's mouth with her little hand like she is doing now
When many ministers were on the platform in front of the Golden Luan Hall, they couldn't help slowing down, with gossip in their eyes. At this moment, Liu Shangshu came in a hurry, and when he saw the bright pink in the court clothes, his eyes paused. When Liu Shangshu recognized the familiar figure, a chrysanthemum bloomed on his face, he turned to the focus of the ministers' eyes, and said in a loud voice, "Miss Yu, long time no see, are you okay?"
Yu Xiaocao turned around when she heard the sound, and saw Liu Shangshu, with a smile on her face, and said, "Master Liu! Come to court!!"
Ministers: This is not nonsense! If you don't come here to go to court, what are you doing here
Seeing that Liu Shangshu seemed to have a lot to say to Xiaocao, Su Ran rushed ahead of him, and said gently to Yu Xiaocao: "Miss Xiaocao, it's time for the morning court, let's go into the palace and wait for the emperor to come?"
Yu Xiaocao nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Su, do you have this hour every morning? It's so early! It seems that whether it is the emperor or the courtiers, it is not easy!"
Su Ran smiled slightly, said nothing more, and made a gesture of inviting in with her hands. Yu Xiaocao turned her head to look at her father who had been silently following her with a cautious expression, and comforted her: "Father, don't be afraid! You have seen the emperor before, and he is very nice. When the time comes, what will he ask? What shall we answer? If you can’t answer, just shake your head, anyway, we ordinary people have seen the big world, so it’s understandable if we don’t understand!”
The ministers passing by her side all looked sideways when they heard her remarks. In the court hall, when dealing with the emperor's questions, who is not careful and cautious, for fear of accidentally saying the wrong thing! This little girl said it quite casually, your family opened the court, and the emperor coaxed you to play
Xiaocao's identity, after the publication of the Minister of the Household Department just now, who doesn't know that she is that little country girl who is very good at farming? No wonder, after all, he came from a humble background! By the way, isn't this girl General Fang's daughter-in-law? Didn't General Fang and his wife teach the little girl some palace etiquette yesterday? No wonder, what does that rough man in Fangfang Town know? ! Later, if I lose my dignity in front of the emperor, how will it end when I see it.
Some ministers who objected to giving officials to the Yu family had a mentality of watching the show. There was a bit of gloating in his eyes unconsciously. Zhu Junyang, who was late to go out and couldn't go to Fang's house to pick up Xiaocao, felt the malice emanating from those ministers, couldn't help but frowned, and stood beside Yu Xiaocao with a cold face of Hades , support his little girl with actions!
However, Yu Xiaocao came to the gate of the Golden Luan Hall and looked up, the emperor's throne was on the seven steps inside the Golden Luan Hall. The emperor's throne is naturally exquisitely carved and extremely luxurious. Behind it are seven large screens with cloud and dragon patterns hanging on them. There are more than a dozen golden dragons coiled around the chair circle, and two dragons spit beads on the Xumi base under the chair surface. The golden light is shining enough to set off the dignity of the person on the throne.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, Yu Xiaocao saw that the civil and military officials had been separated and arranged in an orderly manner. There was no place for her and her father to stand, so she asked a little dumbfounded: "Mr. Su, where are we standing?"
An official next to him, wearing a dark red second-rank court uniform and with a thin beard, sneered, squinted at him, and said, "Your Majesty, how can you stand here?"
"Master Yang! Don't you think that what you said is a little too much?" Zhu Junyang exuded a frightening coldness all over his body, and there was a deep darkness in his phoenix eyes, as if there was a bloody aura rushing towards him, even if A veteran like Yang Yushi couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.
It's no wonder that people in the middle of the capital say that King Yang is an evil star, with a bad temper, and when he gets angry, he doesn't recognize his relatives. It seems that the rumors are not groundless! Yang Yushi turned his eyes away, not daring to meet him.
Chief Su Ran glanced at Yang Yushi indifferently: This person named Yang seems to be tired of being an official, and he is always looking for trouble for nothing. It seems that the people in Anbu should go to Yang's mansion!
He turned to look at Xiaocao, and said softly: "You and your father, just wait here. Later, the emperor will summon you by name, ask a few questions casually, and then commend your achievements. Don't be nervous, just with the mentality just now, Can't go wrong!"
Yu Xiaocao nodded lightly, with an obedient and obedient look: "Mr. Su, please rest assured, Xiaocao knows the seriousness and will not talk nonsense!"
Manager Su Ran smiled at her, and walked quickly towards the Zhonghe Hall behind the Jinluan Hall. That's where the emperor rested before going to court, and it should have arrived by this time! Stepping into the gate of Zhonghe Hall, I saw the emperor in a shining dragon robe, sitting on one of the red sandalwood chairs.
"How is it? The little girl isn't scared, is she?" Zhu Junfan asked with a smile when he saw him come in.
Su Ran thought of Yu Xiaocao strolling in the courtyard just now, as if visiting her own back garden, without any worry or timidity, so she couldn't help laughing: "Back to the emperor, Miss Xiaocao is very... calm!"
Zhu Junfan raised his brows upwards, thinking that when he first came here, he sneered at the so-called class system and the concept of superiority and inferiority. Thinking about that girl, she hasn't really realized the horror of imperial power yet, so naturally she won't have much burden in her heart. At most, it's just some anxiety about facing unfamiliar situations.
"That girl, you've always been very courageous! Jun Yang said that he almost lost control in front of that girl, but was dragged back abruptly by that girl's gag! You have seen Jun Yang's rage and terror when he had an attack. That little girl didn't faint from the fright, how can it be difficult to defeat her when she enters the palace to face the saint?" Zhu Junfan felt a little regretful that he wasn't there at the time, and he also wanted to see how little Lolita was able to subdue her Kill God with a cold face.
Su Ran looked helplessly at the interested emperor, and reminded softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court..."
