Yan Shi was in a hurry to go to the palace, and didn't care about handling the case, so she asked Jiang Qingyue to go forward to deal with it, and he and Hua Ling went to the palace to face the saint.
He entered the palace in a sedan chair, and due to the rush of time, Yan Yan didn't have time to inquire about Hua Ling's poisoning last night, so he could only sit in the sedan chair and think wildly.
I don't know what will be waiting for him in the palace. It is not only the emperor who wants to serve tea, but also his successors. After this, Yang had two sons, the first son was the second son, Yan Jing, king of Zhao. Yan Jing was one year younger than Yan Shi, and he was the first prince to be enshrined as a prince. He was handsome, his writing skills were excellent, and he was very much loved by Emperor Chongjin. The second son died early, the one who was said to have been killed by the Yuan Empress fifteen years ago.
Soon after the death of Empress Yuan, Emperor Chongjin put Yang on the throne, and so many years passed in a flash.
So after all, there is an enmity between Ji Hou and Yan Shi.
Just thinking about it, the palace arrived.
Yan Shi got off the sedan chair and walked out, looked at the majestic gate of the palace, and waited for Hua Ling. After waiting for a while, Hua Ling did not come, Yan Shi looked back, Hua Ling's sedan chair was behind his sedan chair, why didn't this person come out? But fell asleep
Thinking of this, Yan Shi came to Hualing's sedan chair and lightly clasped the sedan board: "Princess?"
Soon Hua Ling's shy voice came from inside: "Brother, I'm peeing." There is a toilet in the sedan chair, just for emergency use.
Yan Shi coughed lightly in embarrassment: "I'll wait for you in front."
Not long after, Hua Ling walked out with her head down, walked up to Yan Shi and softly called "Brother". The voice was small and weak, Yan Shi just thought he was shy and didn't care, so he walked into the palace gate with him.
Not long after walking, Yan Shi felt as if someone tugged his sleeve lightly, and when he looked down, it was indeed Hua Ling.
"Brother," unlike Hua Ling who was always smiling last night, he now had obvious fear on his face, "I'm afraid."
"What are you afraid of?"
"Afraid of the emperor."
Yan Shi smiled: "Why are you afraid of the emperor?"
Hua Ling said again: "My mother said that the emperor has a bad temper and would chop off people's heads at every turn." After speaking, she touched her neck with her hand.
Yan Yan had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, you are his daughter-in-law, he won't chop off your head."
"But I'm still so scared," Hua Ling's voice trembled a little, "Just now, when I thought about seeing the emperor soon, I was so scared that I peed."
"Don't say anything for a while, just follow me," Yan Shi thought for a while and then instructed, "And you should call your father emperor, not emperor any more. You should call me son-in-law, not me."
Just as Hua Ling was about to speak again, he saw a white and fat eunuch walking towards him, who was the personal eunuch of Emperor Chongjin, Eunuch Liangui.
Even the noble father-in-law didn't salute when he saw the banquet, he just smiled and said: "My maidservant greets the prince." After speaking, he looked up and down at Hualing: "This is the princess, right? , the prince is blessed, the princess looks really good."
Just as Hua Ling was about to speak, Yan Shi grabbed his hand in a place where Eunuch Liangui couldn't see. Those who achieve great things must not be quick to talk, and must endure what ordinary people can't bear.
"Excuse me, father-in-law, where is the father now?" Yan Shi even had a smile on his face, old eunuch, there will always be a day to clean you up.
"Your Majesty has just come to court, and now Feishuang Hall is waiting for the Prince," Lian Guigong said, "The slaves are sent by the Emperor to pick up the Prince."
Yan Shi and Hua Ling held hands and never let go, not because Yan Shi didn't want to, but because Hua Ling was pulling so hard that cold sweat broke out in his hands, it seemed that he was really terrified.
That's all, the left and right sleeves are wide, although they are holding hands, others can't see anything.
When they arrived at Feishuang Hall, Eunuch Lian went in to report, and after a while they summoned the two of them to enter the hall.
Emperor Chongjin and his successor were sitting on one left and one on the right, and the moment they entered Feishuang Hall, there was a trace of hatred deliberately showing on Yan's face.
This smear of hatred can be explained whether it is towards the successor or Hualing. On the contrary, if his face is full of joy, it will not make sense, and it will make people even more suspicious.
After the ceremony, Emperor Chongjin ordered the two to die. Yan Shi stood up from the ground, but Hua Ling didn't stand up. His forehead touched the ground, his arms were also pressed against the ground, and he was trembling all over.
Then he coughed lightly: "Stay flat."
Hua Ling was still trembling violently, and Emperor Chongjin glanced at him in surprise: "Hey, what's wrong with the princess? But you don't feel well?"
After Emperor Chongjin finished speaking, Hua Ling trembled more and more, and finally replied: "Son... er... erchen... erchen is not sick. It's just... just... just afraid."
Disgust flashed quickly in both Jihou and Yanshi's eyes, and Emperor Chongjin felt it strange: "Oh? Why are you afraid? Let's hear it."
"Erchen... Erchen... Erchen is afraid of being beheaded." When Hua Ling said this, her body shook more and more, even her teeth chattered, and her voice was crying. It was obvious that she was trying to suppress herself. , for fear of crying out.
Emperor Chongjin became even more curious: "Who wants to chop off your head?"
"You—" Hua Ling spoke very fictionally.
"Presumptuous!" Then he slapped the table, "How dare you speak to the emperor like that!"
"Zitong, don't get angry." Emperor Chongjin's face showed no anger, but his voice was softer, "Why did I chop off your head?"
Hua Ling almost fell to the ground after listening to what he said afterwards, but fortunately, what Emperor Chong Jin said later made him feel at ease.
"I... I... my mother said."
"Bold!" After that, he slapped the table again. Who is the mother in Hua Ling's mouth? Naturally, it is his younger sister, Yang Shi. Is this the rule in Prince Ruiying's mansion?"
"Mother, you are too serious." Yan returned calmly, "I just got married yesterday, and I came to pay my respects to my father and mother this morning. I haven't had time to teach the rules in the palace. The princess has grown up since she was a child. In the Kangle Mansion, the rules learned before were naturally taught by the people in the Kangle Mansion."
In a few words, Yan Shi completely made the matter of Hua Ling's unruly behavior the responsibility of the Kangle Mansion.
"you… "
"Okay, okay," what to say next, the words have been interrupted by Emperor Chongjin, "You all stop saying a few words, no one is allowed to speak without my order."
Afterwards, he snorted coldly, Yan Shi looked at her and smiled complacently.
Emperor Chongjin continued the conversation with Hua Ling just now: "How could I chop off people's heads for no reason? You are my son-in-law, and I will not chop off your head?"
"Really?" Hua Ling slowly raised his head from the ground, and looked at Emperor Chong Jin seriously, with tears still in his eyes.
"You are not joking." Only then did Emperor Chongjin see Hualing's appearance clearly. The child looked pretty good, but with a naive look on his face, Emperor Chongjin's heart softened a bit.
"Then, the minister can rest assured." Hua Ling got up from the ground and patted the dust that didn't exist on his body.
A eunuch brought two cups of tea, Hua Ling walked up to Emperor Chongjin and offered him a cup first, and then another cup. Needless to say, there is no need to elaborate on the rewards he received after the tea ceremony.
"Why do you keep laughing?" Ever since Hualing served him tea, she had been smiling all the time, the tears from just now were still hanging on her face, it looked funny.
Hua Ling bent the corners of her eyes: "My son is happy."
"Why are you happy?" Emperor Chongjin shook his head, the child's face was really like this June day, it changed as soon as it said.
"From today on, Erchen has two parents." Hua Ling counted with her fingers, then frowned suddenly, "No, not two mothers, I used to have two mothers, now I am three." What a bitch."
"You child." Emperor Chongjin smiled, and even his successors also smiled. Although this child is too timid, his words are quite likable. At the moment, I feel a little proud, it seems that it is right to betroth him to Yan Shi, no matter whether he is used to win Yan Shi or deal with him in the future, it is a good trump card.
Emperor Chongjin was happy, and wanted to reward him at the moment, the words rolled on his lips a few times and said: "I can grant you a reward, and you can tell me what you want."
"Er Chen wants to pee." As he said that, Hua Ling crossed his legs, covered his belly with his hands and his face was very anxious, "Just now I was scared to pee, and Er Chen wanted to pee whenever I was scared."
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Emperor Chongjin couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly asked the little eunuch to take him out of court.
Then his face turned dark: "My lord, you should teach the concubine some rules when you go back."
"Your servant can save you."
After Yan Shi finished speaking, the entire hall was silent for a while.
Not long after Hua Ling came back, Emperor Chongjin put down the cup, looked at him and said, "Have you thought about any rewards for this journey?"
"My son was about to die just now." Hua Ling looked at Emperor Chongjin's puzzled eyes and explained, "I wanted to pee just now, which is the reward my son wanted."
"Hahaha!" Emperor Chongjin laughed again, "You, you, want such a reward. I can't let you suffer too much, so how about it, you can pay respects at any time in the palace in the future."
"Thank you, Father." Hua Ling knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.
Then he gritted his teeth, this idiot finally got a reward, and asked for something so unspeakable. If you can't suffocate people, why can't you bear it? Then I thought about it again, that's fine, it's best to handle those who are not scheming.
Emperor Chongjin ordered him to stand up again: "Speaking of which, you are already eighteen, and you haven't taken the scientific examination yet. You must take the scientific examination as soon as possible. In the future, the emperor will not share your worries."
"Returning to the father, the minister doesn't want to take the imperial examination," Hua Ling said, "My mother said, people with a family status like ours should not compete with those poor children for the number of Jinshi. They are very pitiful." , just pointing to being an official to live a good life.”
Just as Jihou was about to speak, Emperor Chongjin rushed ahead of her and said, "Oh? How do you know you will definitely pass the exam? It's not easy for me to pass the imperial examination."
Hua Ling said confidently: "My mother said that if I take the first prize in the literary talent test, I will definitely succeed. Since my father doesn't believe me, I will write a poem for you, and you will know that my son is not lying."
