Chang'an is good

Chapter 127 The Saint Summons

"The painting is indeed a good painting, but Luo'er can't make a judgment." Ming Luo replied: "But I heard what Master Chu said, and there are two points of similarity."

She knows whether there are only two points.

But as she said, she should not "judgmentally".

She didn't look up at the expression of Emperor Shengji, but only heard the voice and asked again: "It is said that the painting is now hung in the Dengtai Building?"

"Exactly."

The Holy Book Emperor seemed to consider it for a moment, but in the end he only said: "That's all."

The tense string in Ming Luo's heart relaxed.

There are good and bad things about hanging the paintings in the Dengtai Building. Fortunately, at least my aunt gave up the idea of ​​taking the paintings back to the palace to see.

At this time, Gong'e walked into the hall and passed the message: "Your Majesty, Yu Chang attendant asks to see you."

The Holy Book Emperor nodded, signaling for him to enter.

Ming Luo stepped aside, acquiescing that the topic about Chang Suining was over.

Yu Zeng brought a list, and presented it immediately after saluting: "...on it is the list of officials in the DPRK and China who advocate the early selection of the Crown Princess. Please have a look at it, Your Majesty."

After the Holy Book Emperor flipped through it, there was only a look of "as expected" on his face.

On this list, most of them are officials of the gentry. If you look around, the leaders are nothing more than Cui, Zheng, Changsun and other surnames.

After Pei's incident, those people never really backed down. They first used the position of minister of the Ministry of Rites to contend with her again and again, and finally pushed Taifu Chu to come out, and they were considered to have neutralized the matter.

Now, these people are starting to suggest that the crown prince should be appointed as a crown prince as soon as possible...

The crown prince Li Zhi is only 13 years old, why should he be so anxious about the matter of the crown princess? After all, he just wants to remind her and all parties that the crown prince has grown up, and it is time for her to return to power... In order to achieve their goal of gathering and integrating forces.

The Holy Book Emperor closed the list and was not in a hurry to say anything, but only told Yu Zeng some other matters.

Yu Zeng responded one by one.

Ming Luo took the freshly exchanged tea from Gong'e, came to the imperial case, and poured a cup of hot tea for Emperor Shengji.

The tea soup was poured into the teacup, and the tea mist curled up. Emperor Shengji casually said to Yu Zeng: "Before you came, I was talking to Gu'an about the girl from the Chang family."

Yu Zeng has been with her for many years, and she occasionally talks to him about topics other than political affairs.

Ming Luo put down the teapot lightly, and kept his eyes down behind the Holy Book Emperor.

"Your Majesty is talking about the climbing to the Tai Tower yesterday?" Yu Zeng smiled slightly and said, "I have heard about it too."

"She can afford this poetry meeting, and can control such unexpected situations, she has some skills." Emperor Shengji said.

Ming Luo's drooping eyelashes moved slightly.

Yu Zeng: "Your Majesty praised it, children like to be lively, it's just luck."

Emperor Shengji smiled rarely: "You see her as your own child, and you know how to demean yourself for her."

Then, he asked: "Speaking of which, since this child was brought back by 'A Xiao' back then, do you know the specific origin?"

"According to what His Highness said back then, he was just born in ordinary poor people. His parents died early. Seeing that he was lonely and pitiful, His Highness brought him back to Beijing."

Emperor Shengji nodded, and then thought about it: "'A Xiao' is benevolent, and has rescued many orphans when she went out to fight, but she seems to be the only one who has been placed in this way after being rescued."

"Yes." Yu Zeng explained: "Those orphans were mostly placed in the military camp to learn how to do things, but because Suining was the youngest when he was brought back, he was only able to walk at the beginning, and because he was a girl, he stayed in Xuanyuan. Inside the Ce Mansion. This girl was born to be pleasing, and usually clings to His Highness, and His Highness also likes her very much, and named her himself, and Nu and General Chang took special care of her."

"After that... His Highness is gone, and before he left, he told him to take good care of her." Yu Zeng paused, and then said again: "The slaves and General Chang read His Highness's instructions, and over time they got used to taking care of this girl. Take it with you and protect it... As time goes on, it will be regarded as your own."

Emperor Shengji seemed to be a little emotional: "It is her good fortune to meet 'A Xiao'."

She said: "Let her enter the palace tomorrow, I want to see her."

Yu Zeng should "yes".

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Ming Luo's eyes.

So she was right, the other party was very lucky.

From the beginning to the end, it was just because of the favor of His Highness the First Crown Prince, that he easily got all of this - including the attention of the saint at this time.

……

Because he only rested near dawn, Chang Suining caught up on his sleep during the day, and only went to the martial arts field in the evening.

Xi'er went to see the two little beggars brought back last night.

The two of them washed it inside and out, combed their hair neatly around the top of their heads, and put on clean clothes. Although their sallow and emaciated appearance was hard to change for a while, it was as if they were different people.

Xi'er nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the shabby old clothes that the two of them had replaced, and said, "Young lady said don't throw away your original outfits, you might still need them later."

The two boys heard their hearts pounding.

Is this... the meaning of throwing them out at any time if they don't behave well?

Xi'er didn't know how the two of them were worried about gains and losses, and said, "Come with me."

The two quickly followed.

Xi'er took him to the martial arts arena.

Chu Xing had already heard Chang Suining talk about the two of them. At this moment, he glanced at their thin bodies and said, "Just run two laps today."

The two children don't know why - is this one of their tests?
Fearing that they would be thrown out if they ran too slowly, the two ran two laps like a breeze, and quickly returned to Chu Xing and Chang Suining.

"Girl, we're good at running!"

"Well! If there is a dog chasing after you, you can run faster!"

"I can run the entire Suzaku Street in one go!"

Chu Xing: "..."

There is actually a foundation.

Seeing the eyes of the two children who were running profusely with sweat, eager to be affirmed and afraid of being abandoned, Chang Suining smiled at them, nodded and said, "Very good."

She called Ah Che over.

"This is Ah Che. You are about the same age. From now on, the two of you will follow Ah Che and come here to practice martial arts together every morning. What you do in the rest of the time is what Ah Che does. .”

The two agreed in unison, and looked at Ah Che obediently.

Ah Che was suddenly a little nervous—is the girl asking him to bring a newcomer?
He was very disturbed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. Facing those two gazes, he tried to look calm and sophisticated enough: "What's your name?"

The two children shook their heads one after another.

A little beggar with no father, no mother, and no one wanted has no name, and it is just a nickname, not a proper name.

Chang Sui Ning is familiar with the road, and understands that it is time to test her naming ability——

"Your name is Xiaoduan."

"Your name is Xiao Wu."

"Okay!" Chang Sui'an, who had just finished practicing a set of saber techniques, wiped off his sweat and exclaimed, "It's catchy and full of meaning!"

Chang Suining: "..."

It doesn't mean much, does it?

Chang Suining's expression of "I want to take it and use it" made the two children feel even more flattered, and quickly knelt down to thank Chang Suining.

After that, he followed Ah Che and left the martial arts arena.

On the way, Ah Che pretended to be experienced and asked some questions, and seeing the two people answering them attentively and well-behaved, Ah Che gradually felt at ease.

But he soon discovered that being too obedient and well-behaved is not all a good thing.

The two of them carried out the girl's phrase "whatever Ache does and you do it" too precisely, and lacked the most basic sense of boundary between people——

"I'm just urinating at night... You don't have to do this kind of thing together!"

It was night, Ah Che's panicked voice came from the room.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Chang Suining resumed his habit of going to the martial arts field in the morning.

But just as he got off the donkey and handed the bow to Xi'er, Ah Zhi came to hear a message that someone from the palace had come and was summoned to the palace by the sage's mouth.

Chang Suining paused for a moment while wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, but his demeanor remained unchanged: "Well, I'll go back and change."

She was calm and composed, but Xi'er was quite nervous at the moment.

This is the girl's first time entering the palace!
And it was the saint himself who called...

Xi'er followed her daughter back to the courtyard, first took a bath and changed clothes, then combed her hair and put on clothes.

"Don't be nervous." Chang Suining sensed the little girl's uneasy feeling, and comforted him: "If you enter the inner palace gate, the palace guards will stop you, so you don't have to follow me into the palace to face the saint."

The daughter of an official like her without any title status cannot bring her envoys into the palace.

Xi'er was stunned when she heard that, that's it.

Immediately, he became more and more worried: "That girl is alone..."

Chang Suining interrupted her: "It's not to fight."

Saying that, he casually picked up the South Pearl Gold Hairpin in front of him and put it on himself, stood up and said, "Let's go."

The reason why the Empress suddenly wanted to see her was because of her trip to the Tailou the day before yesterday.

But Xie's fault was on the bright side, no matter how Ming Hou looked at her in his heart, it was impossible to do anything to her on the surface.

If there is some "interest" in her because she "imitates" Princess Chongyue's style of painting, then there is no need to worry about it.

Chang Kuo personally sent his daughter out of the palace, comforted him in a low voice, and watched his daughter board the carriage to the palace.

The carriages and horses did not stop all the way.

Chang Suining stepped off the carriage and looked up at the majestic Miyagi.

This time of rebirth, she was destined not to avoid this palace and the Empress Doomed—or in other words, she chose not to avoid it.

The girl raised her foot and stepped through the palace gate, and the hem of her skirt lightly swept across the vermilion threshold.

Entering the gate of the inner palace, there is an inner eunuch waiting there.

The eunuch led her to the Ganlu Hall, and when there was no one on the road, he whispered to her: "Servant Yu Chang's servant reminded Madam Chang a few words..."

Chang Sui Ning walked without squinting: "Elder-in-law, please tell me."

"Ms. Chang, don't be nervous. When you're in front of the sage later, you just need to salute properly, talk less, ask less, look less, just answer the questions."

Chang Suining nodded.

"The other thing is..." The inner eunuch lowered his voice: "The heat is scorching, and the lady will inevitably be hot and dry all the way, but you need to calm down, don't quarrel with others, and don't flirt with others easily." Let's do it... Chang Shi said that Si Gongtai has something important to do today and he can't leave, if you fight with someone, he might not be able to come over in time."

Chang Suining: "..."

According to her guess, Ah Zeng's original words may not be so euphemistic and pleasant.

When she entered the palace, he was heartbroken.

The sun was shining, and she walked along the shadow under the palace wall without slowing down, and she saw the Ganlu Palace in front of her eyes.
