Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, Wang An continued to speak with a smile on his face and said: "What I mean is: since His Majesty has not mentioned you, naturally he will not prohibit you from seeing him!"
Having said this, even a fool should know what Wang An means!
The best explanation for these words is: Don't worry, our Emperor has no separate arrangements for you.
And at worst, this is: Who are you Goguryeo? Are you really treating yourself like a dish? Our emperor doesn’t even bother to mention you!
As an envoy of a country, Gao He is naturally a well-rounded person! He instantly understood what Wang An meant, and his pig-kidney face suddenly turned the color of pig liver!
After a long time, he finally waved his hand bitterly and turned directly to Park Zhizhang, muttering something to him in a low voice.
"Hmph, what the hell!"
But when he saw Gao He, he didn't even salute, he just turned around and left!
Wang An, who had always kept his emotions secretive, had a flash of sullenness on his face!
If he hadn't been reluctant to part with the gold in his hand, he would have wanted to throw it back to these Goguryeo barbarians at this moment.
Imperial City, Zhuque Street.
Under the early morning sunshine, an unremarkable Xiao family carriage slowly appeared not far from the entrance of the palace.
"Mother, second mother, why do we come to the palace?"
In the carriage, a little girl like a porcelain doll was lying on the window, looking at the tall palace gate getting closer and pouting: "An An doesn't like it here!"
"An'an, be good!"
In the carriage, Xue Pan, who was dressed in fine clothes, listened to her daughter's words, and her beautiful face actually showed a trace of fatigue. She sighed softly and said: "Mom, I have to go to your godmother for something! When you meet your godmother, don't be naughty.
!”
"Godmother?"
Perhaps because he suddenly remembered that his godmother was in the palace, An An, who had been pouting just now, finally turned around and smiled at Xue Pan: "Don't worry, mother, An An doesn't like the palace, but An An likes her godmother.
You won’t be naughty!”
"You!"
Seeing this, Xue Pan lovingly nodded on his daughter's head, and then looked through the car window again to the forbidden area of the palace in front of him, which was like a giant beast in the wild, nestling quietly there.
The carriage moved very quickly, and not long after, it arrived at the entrance of the palace. Outside the carriage, there was a sound of palace guards checking identities and then letting people go one by one.
As the coachman whipped his horse whip and the carriage was about to enter the corridor of the palace wall, in the carriage, Ziyi, who had been clutching the corner of his clothes, suddenly spoke.
"Sister, otherwise, I won't go..."
Looking at Xue Pan sitting opposite, Ziyi looked a little nervous and a little scared.
Although Ziyi has been in business for many years, he has seen many big scenes and big shots in the business world.
But when I think about what I am going to see today, she is the most noble woman in the world!
He might even have to see the most powerful emperor in the world. Zi Yi felt guilty and panicked for a while, fearing that he might accidentally do something wrong and bring disaster to the Xiao family!
After all, people often say that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger! This is true for people who always accompany the emperor. Wouldn't it be more dangerous if he is reckless? If he harms himself, it is better to say that he is afraid of hurting his husband again.
, it brought trouble to the Xiao family, and brought trouble to this lovely little princess!
"No!"
Xue Pan also saw Zi Yi's panic at this moment, but she did not comfort her as usual. Instead, she took a deep breath and said in a slightly stiff tone: "Someone wants to harm our husband today! Now that my husband is not here,
As his wife, you and I dare not retreat, and we cannot retreat!"
"I……"
Sure enough, when Zi Yi heard this, her body trembled slightly, and her original intention to shrink back was immediately extinguished!
Yes, my husband is not at home now, but I heard that a group of people from Goguryeo wanted to force the emperor to hand over my husband!
When something like this happens, as an ordinary wife, how can I just sit idly by and ignore it? How can I back down from the battle? Today, even if I risk my own life, I should save my husband!
"I listen to my sister!" Thinking of this, Ziyi gritted her teeth. Because she used too much force, a wisp of blood appeared between her teeth.
"Okay, just follow me!" Seeing Zi Yi's eyes that gradually became firmer, Xue Pan's tone also softened.
Others say that once you enter the Hou family, you are as deep as the sea!
I also imagined how the women in the big house were jealous and fighting openly and secretly.
Perhaps, these things do exist in other Dukes' residences, but this has never happened in the Xiao family!
As Xiao Hangui is a prince, it stands to reason that he can marry one legitimate wife, two ordinary wives, and six wives!
These are all recognized by the imperial court and receive royal salary!
In other words, the state will help support these nine people!
In addition, for things like concubines, he can marry as many as he wants! Some princes and nobles in Chang'an have so many concubines that even he himself can't count them!
But although Xiao Han has always had a bad reputation, the only women around him are the two of them!
In addition, Xiao Han likes to run around and stay away from home, so Xue Pan and Zi Yi are often left alone in the back house of the house.
This also led to the two women relying on each other and slowly becoming as close as sisters.
If it weren't for today's special events, Xue Pan would never have even spoken to Ziyi in this tone.
"Don't be afraid, second mother!"
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the carriage, An An rolled her dark eyes, moved little by little to Zi Yi's side, waved her little fist and said, "Don't worry, my godmother is so good! She will give An An a lot every time."
好东西!就是干娘家的几个哥哥弟弟不太好,爱捣蛋!不过爹爹说过,他们要是敢使坏,咱就揍他们!”
"Pfft..."
Ziyi was amused by An An's appearance, and the last trace of worry in her heart disappeared. She reached out to hold An An in her arms, and asked with her own face against her delicate little face: "Then have you beaten them?"
"Of course!" An An smiled and said proudly: "The last time I met my godmother, there was a kid with a runny nose, I think his name was Li Zhi, and he said he wanted me to be his wife. I was so angry.
I went up and kicked him, causing him to run away crying!"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Zi Yi's expression froze, and Xue Pan's face also turned a little dark!
Otherwise, if An An himself mentioned it today, Xue Pan would really not know that his naughty daughter had once beaten the prince to tears!
She wanted to teach her a lesson, but seeing her daughter's triumphant look, she couldn't bear to say it.
"That's all, it's good for my daughter to be more powerful, at least she won't be bullied! Besides, it's just a fight between children. I heard from my husband that he even cheated the emperor at that time..."
