Good luck and marriage: marrying the governor of Dongchang

Chapter 8 The Curious Emperor Minghuai

Before the time for half a stick of incense came, their carriage had already arrived in the palace.At the gate of the palace, a young eunuch had already been waiting there. When he saw Lu Huaiqi, he bowed and said, "Master Dudu, the emperor ordered the little one to wait for you here, and told you to go see the emperor after entering the palace. The emperor has something important to do." Discuss with you."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he cautiously looked at Shen Qingli standing behind Lu Huai.These days, no matter inside or outside the palace, people everywhere are talking about this one.

"The emperor told the young one again that the empress wants to see your concubine, and when you enter the palace, let someone take your concubine to the queen's bedroom."

Ask Shen Qingli to meet the queen?Lu Huai raised two thick eyebrows that looked like knives, and looked quietly at Shen Qingli who was standing behind him.

Shen Jinfeng wanted to kill Shen Qingli directly in the Governor's Mansion that day, but now that she is in the Queen's Mansion, the Queen will make her feel better?

Shen Qingli seemed to have understood what was in his heart, and looked at Lu Huaiqi with dark eyes, "Master Dudu, this time I return to Liang Jingcheng, there are some people and things that I have to experience by myself."

What you said...are you planning to go to the Hongmen Banquet by yourself?
Lu Huaiqi didn't speak any more, and followed the little eunuch to see Ming Huai Emperor directly.Anyway, this palace is full of his eyes and ears, and he can know what happened to her.

After Lu Huai got up to leave, another little maid came forward to take Shen Qingli to see the queen.

Shen Qingli quietly walked behind the maid, but the maid avoided the wide avenue in the palace and led Shen Qingli along some remote paths.

In the end, she was taken by the maid to a lake deep in the imperial garden.

Shen Qingli sighed slightly, and a few more powerful maids emerged from among the flowers.As soon as those maids appeared, they surrounded Shen Qingli.

The little maid who led her earlier smiled contemptuously at Shen Qingli, "Second Miss Shen, the empress told me that no matter how you came back to life, since you came back to stir up trouble, she will not let you go!"

After the little palace maid finished speaking, several Kongwu powerful maids rushed towards Shen Qingli.Shen Qingli didn't resist. Of course, even a thin girl like her couldn't resist those powerful nuns.

With a "plop", she was pushed down into the icy lake by several maids.

Biting water poured into her mouth, and she stared at the shore with eyes blurred by the water in the lake.The maids on the bank seemed to have prepared everything a long time ago. After she was pushed into the lake, they each picked up a bamboo pole as long as one person and stood on the bank and beat her non-stop. Let her go ashore alive.

The little maid stood on the bank and watched Shen Qingli struggling in the lake, and then ordered to several maids, "You stay here and watch, if she dares to swim up, I will kill her."

On the other side, Lu Huai went to Emperor Minghuai's bedroom.

"I pay my respects to the emperor, I respectfully wish the emperor good fortune like the East China Sea, and a long life like Nanshan." Lu Huai stood up straight and knelt down to salute Ming Huai Emperor.Ming Huai Emperor looked up at him, and said with a smile, "Captain Lu, get up."

In history, those who were emperors more or less had some weird hobbies.Some emperors like beautiful women, some emperors are fond of composing poems and lyrics, but Ming Huai Emperor has an even more wonderful hobby.

He likes to be a carpenter, and he worshiped a master carpenter in Liang Jingcheng as his apprentice when he was young and before he ascended the throne.

All the tables, chairs and wooden couches in his bedroom were made by himself.

When he rewarded meritorious officials, he also liked to reward all kinds of furniture made by him himself.

For such a wonderful hobby, it's not that civil and military officials didn't write letters to advise and advise, but Ming Huai Emperor still went his own way, which didn't help.Over time, the civil and military officials stopped tossing about and let Emperor Minghuai do it himself.

At this time, he was carving a piece of wood with a seal cutting knife in his hand, "Dudu Lu, because of your new concubine, the queen has come to beg me these days. I have already accepted her." Request. It’s just a concubine’s room, if you want, I can reward you a few more.”

What do you mean?
Lu Huai squinted his fox eyes halfway, and the slender and dense eyelashes on both eyes were a little bit sharp.

Ming Huaidi put down the carpentry work in his hands, stood up, came to Lu Huaiqi, and said slowly, "The empress and An Guogong's government still need to protect the face. But the empress is afraid of offending you, so she begged me here Come on, let me say hello to you. Dudu Lu, the empress and the others have lowered their attitudes enough this time. From my point of view, Shen Qingli, the concubine, has never appeared before. Everyone is still like As before, it's peaceful."

How could the high-ranking royals care about the life and death of a woman who appeared out of nowhere.

The line of Lu Huai's jaw suddenly became rigid, and contempt and contempt flashed in the eyes of the fox eyes.

With the queen's hands and the emperor's acquiescence, even if Shen Qingli died in the palace, who would care about her life or death.

Lu Huai felt a little complicated emotion flashing through his heart.

From Shen Qingli's appearance to entering the palace, there are still too many secrets hidden in this little girl that have not been discovered. It would be such a pity if she really died like this.

So... this person, without his consent, no one should try to kill her.Even if the emperor begged him personally, he would not betray the emperor's face.

Lu Huai raised his eyes and looked at a young eunuch in the palace.The little eunuch received his gaze and quietly bowed and retreated.

The birthday banquet of Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty was held in the spacious and luxurious Huayang Palace.When the moon is on the brows, the Huayang Palace is already full of clouds and fragrant shadows, and the crowds are crowded.

In order to please Emperor Ming Huai, the civil and military officials racked their brains every year to present the emperor with carefully prepared birthday gifts.At this moment, in the bustling hall, a young eunuch was holding a list of gifts from civil and military officials and was reading out loudly.

If Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty heard that the name of the gift list was interesting, he would ask someone to present the gift to him.

"Duke An Guo presents a Kuidou tree, Evergreen from the East China Sea, and wishes the emperor good health and good health." The little eunuch looked at the gift list and read.

Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty heard the words Kuidoushu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and asked someone to bring a gift to him.

The three little eunuchs quickly brought over a huge celadon official cellar flower pot, in which a tree with a trunk as thick as an arm was planted.The branches and leaves of the trees are lush and dense, and they look no different from ordinary forest trees.

Ming Huai Emperor looked at An Guogong Shen Jinfeng happily, "An Guogong, is this really a Kuidou tree?"

Emperor Minghuai, who liked to do carpentry, had heard people say that this kind of Kuidou tree only lived on a certain island in the East China Sea.This tree is evergreen for thousands of years and will not be eaten by termites. If you can use its trunk to make tables and chairs, it will be cool in summer and warm in winter.Not only that, this wood can also be used to make many organ parts written in the "Book of Luban".

However, according to records, this tree only lives on a certain island in the East China Sea, and the island is surrounded by miasma swamps, jungle beasts.If a person broke into that island easily, he would easily die.

An Guogong can actually give him such a precious Kuidu tree now, Emperor Huai of Ming Dynasty is naturally very happy, stroking his breath and closing his mouth from ear to ear with joy.

"Reporting to the emperor, I dare not take credit for this. The little girl in the mansion ordered someone to search for it. The girl is very filial to the little minister, so she asked the little minister to present this tree to the emperor in her own name. Wannianqing, my servant I hope that the emperor will be like this tree, evergreen forever."

This flattery was exactly as Ming Huai Emperor wanted.Emperor Huai of the Ming Dynasty laughed "haha", "Mr. An, your birthday gift is very kind to me. I am very curious, that girl in your mansion is so transparent."

Kneeling Duke An looked towards the seats in the hall. Today Shen Qingjiao was wearing a lotus root pink pair of skirts embroidered with flowers, and a popular twelve-piece floral plum, bamboo and lanthanum skirt.

She stood up from her seat, her waist was slender, her eyebrows were delicate and picturesque, like a hibiscus flower swaying and blooming in the wind, she instantly captured the amazement of countless young men in the hall.
