"Hong Shangshu is too polite, we also ask the city lord, this is natural to do our best." Jie Lan said these scenes and words have made her a little too much to entertain.
Seeing that he hadn’t seen the city lord, Qi Xue shouted and asked: “Where’s your city lord? Why didn’t you see him coming out to greet us? I remember that when we left the city’s night banquet, your city lord said that if we return triumphantly, he Will you be greeted barefoot? But at this time, you just don’t see anyone. It seems that your city lord doesn’t keep your promise very much."
Hong Shangshu was quite embarrassed, and Jie Lan was afraid that Qixue’s ignorant remarks would annoy Master Shang Shu and would be disadvantageous to them in the future, so she said with a smile: "Master Shang Shu don’t mind my friend’s rudeness. She just wants to greet the city lord. That's why I said so."
Hong Shangshu sighed and said: "The city lord has always kept his promise. I apologize for the rudeness of the messenger Jielan this time on behalf of the city lord. This is what the city lord told me to convey to the messenger Jielan."
"What's wrong? What happened to your city lord?" Jie Lan saw that the red book was haggard, obviously something was wrong.
Hong Shangshu looked a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "Since the envoy Jielan left, the Lord suddenly became ill and now there is a lingering bed, so that the ministers are not worried."
Jie Lan was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Since the city lord is ill, why didn't he summon the doctor for treatment? By the way, isn't there the power of the blue devil?"
Hong Shangshu shook his head again, and said, "The Lord did not let the emperor see him for some reason, nor did he let the Qing Mojun heal his wounds. He has been too haggard to let us be courtiers for the past few days. I'm so distressed."
Jie Lan was very surprised, but she thought it was because of her illness. That's why she was a little discouraged. The treatment of Chengfeng might be delayed because the city lord was seriously ill. When she was worried, she heard Hong Shangshudao. "But don’t worry about the messenger Jielan. When the city lord ordered the minister to greet the messenger, he said that he would still set up a dinner for the messenger Jielan to receive the dust."
"You don't have to bother with the City Lord," Jie Lan said hurriedly.
"I think the Lord will be very happy to see the messenger Jielan, presumably the condition will get better, messenger Jielan does not have to postpone it, so please let me enter the court!" Hong Shangshu gave an invitation to the left. In this way, Jie Lan didn't dare to shirk any more, so she had to walk ahead, while Qi Xue and Heizhu followed closely.
After a few people entered the court, several father-in-laws greeted them and took them to the'bath court' to let the palace servants serve them to bathe and change clothes. Although Jie Lan was tired of these etiquettes, she was inferior to herself since she was in the court. When wandering outside, naturally you have to pay more attention to it.
After the three of them changed their clothes, when they got together in the hall, Jie Lan saw that the black pig, who had never been clothed, put on a gray brocade robe, felt a little ridiculous. She covered her mouth and giggled. He laughed, and Qi Xue did the same. Seeing them laughing at himself, the black pig turned his head in embarrassment, his blushing face made his whole body hot, and he really wanted to find a hole to get in.
Seeing the embarrassing look of Black Pig, Jie Lan said, "I didn't expect Long Yi to be so handsome in clothes. It really is different."
