"Who are you? You're just a servant of the palace!" The woman next to Hua Cai suddenly waved her hand and hit Duoduo in the face.
Suddenly there was a "pop..." and the woman was beaten so dizzy that she fell to the ground.
Nangong Jie was so angry that he hit him with such force that his palms became numb.
The woman originally wanted to hit Duoduo, but she missed her. Instead, she was slapped by Nangong Jie and fell to the ground. She started crying on the spot.
Hua Cai was furious: "Fifth Prince, please apologize to my woman immediately!"
"Apologise?" Nangong Jie snorted coldly and said to the woman lying on the ground: "Don't think that I won't beat you because you are a woman. Let me tell you, they mother and son are not servants here, but in my house.
Owner!"
Duoduo originally had an angry look on his face, but after hearing Nangong Jie's words, his nose suddenly became sore and two lines of hot tears rolled out.
She was not wronged because she was bullied, but because there was a man standing in front of her to cover everything for her, and he also said in front of everyone that she was the master of the house... Nangong Ao slowly said
When he came, he suddenly grabbed Nangong Jie's clothes and said fiercely: "Are you crazy, ah! You actually made a big fuss with Huayue Kingdom over a woman. I will definitely report it to my father and see how you explain!"
"Yes, I am crazy, but am I wrong? What happened to the woman? Don't say that she is very important to me. Even if she is an ordinary woman, can the women of our Southern Dynasties be bullied so casually? What if we
If the Southern Dynasty can't even protect a woman, is there any point in talking about the reconciliation between the two countries?"
"Yes, King Jie said a lot, the little Huayue Kingdom is nothing, get out of here!"
I don't know who among the crowd said this, and a stone stirred up a thousand waves. All the businessmen who came to the palace to congratulate sincerely, and the common people who came in to watch the excitement, suddenly became turbulent, and looked at those people in Huayue with angry expressions.
People yelled.
There was a lot of saliva, this is the power of the people, how had Hua Cai, who was still arrogant, seen such a crisis? Those people seemed to want to tear him to pieces, and he was so scared that he did not dare to say a word.
Even Nangong Ao's momentum was overwhelmed by the power of the crowd. He glared at Nangong Jie and said: "Okay, the wings are hardened, very good, you can fly around, but I remind you, be careful, you won't be able to fly for long."
If you fall, you will be smashed to pieces!"
Nangong Jie straightened his chest without showing any signs of weakness and said: "It's not that my wings are hard, but I have always been so hard. It's just that I didn't bother to fight with you before, but don't worry, I will never let you be wanton again in the future.
Hengxing, just wait, there is no guarantee who will break his wings."
"Okay, King Jie, well done, okay! You little bastard from the Little Flower Country, get out of here, get out of here!"
The shouts of the onlookers got louder and louder, and Nangong Ao couldn't help but look dumb. He led the group of people out of Prince Jie's mansion in despair, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Come here, send me more people to support the kitchen. Everyone who comes tonight is a guest, so treat them well!"
The people were happy. They had never seen such a people-friendly prince. They were afraid that the things prepared by Prince Jie's palace were not enough, so they ran home to get rice and vegetables. Although they were not as good as the delicacies of the palace, they enjoyed it.
.
As a result, the scene became huge. There was no room for the banquet in the palace, so the banquet stretched out from the gate of Prince Jie's palace, blocking the wide avenue of the capital all day long. Everyone was talking and laughing, drinking and guessing, and the scene was
All-time high.
Logically speaking, Nangong Jie was not used to the common people's simple meals, but he and Duoduo ran among the people and ate wild vegetables, coriander, bird eggs, loaches and other things with gusto.
The villagers were very moved by this. The royal children have always been aloof. Although they sometimes do some things that are close to the people, they are all for show. The villagers understand this.
But the fifth prince and the beautiful butler actually ran to sit next to them and grabbed food from the farmers. This clearly showed that they looked up to everyone and regarded the villagers as one of their own.
In fact, how could the villagers know that the fifth prince and the beautiful butler once wandered on a desert island and were starved to the point of blindness? What about that past... "Wow, what a long loach!" Nangong Jie said.
An eel exclaimed loudly!
It immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Idiot, this is not a loach, this is an eel!" Duoduo said with a smile: "You still know how to eat eels, right? Come and let me teach you, otherwise you won't be able to eat super delicious food."
"Are there many ways to eat this?" Nangong Jie asked strangely.
"Of course, if you don't tell me, you, the grandson of the emperor, will never know!" Duoduo said, taking the fried eel from Nangong Jie's hand, put it in his mouth seriously and started chewing.
Nangong Jie was waiting to see her demonstrate various ways of eating, but he didn't expect that she kept eating without any sign of wanting to talk.
When a long eel was about to be eaten by her, Nangong Jie suddenly realized: "Oh, you damn woman, you actually tricked my eel into eating it and spit it out for me!"
Seeing that there was still a small section of the eel's tail exposed outside her mouth, Nangong Jie stretched out his waist and bit the eel's tail with his mouth.
The two of them refused to give in to each other, and Duoduo continued to fight for the food. As he ate, the eel became shorter and shorter, and the two mouths got closer and closer!
An awkward atmosphere ensued... "Hurry up and put your mouth out, so many people are watching, are you embarrassed?" Duoduo said, biting the eel.
"I won't let you go, you let go!" Nangong Jie also bit off a piece of it and refused to compromise.
The villagers were happy and shouted in unison: "Kiss her, kiss him, kiss her, kiss him..."
Duoduo was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to compromise and let go of the eel in her mouth. Unexpectedly, when she opened her mouth, the man's mouth suddenly attacked her.
The four lips were pressed together tightly. Duo Duo was shocked. Is this guy crazy or something? He actually behaved in such an unruly manner in public. How could she see anyone in the future?
The most disgusting thing was that the eel was still in his mouth. When his tongue stretched out, the half of the eel also stretched out... Bin'er looked up and saw his mother and godfather biting and playing with each other, and asked curiously
Said: "Mom, what are you doing? Bin'er also wants to play..."
The villagers who were fascinated by the sight suddenly burst into laughter. Duoduo pushed Nangong Jie away with all his strength, his face turned red, he picked up his son and said, "Little brat, what do you want? Let's go and ignore that bad guy your godfather!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly. The villagers smiled and said: "My lord, chase me, chase me!"
"Hehe, okay, I... will go see where she went."
Seeing Nangong Jie chasing after him, everyone burst into laughter.
It's just the same thing. Some people are happy and some are sad. After watching Duoduo and Nangong Jie both running in, the Prince of Persia smiled to himself, shook his head, and poured a large bowl of farmhouse liquor into his stomach.
This burning feeling made him feel like there was a fire burning down from his throat, burning into his heart... "Hey, stupid woman, where have you gone? There are so many guests outside, what are you doing here as a big housekeeper?
?" Nangong Jie ran into the living room and searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone.
Just as he was wondering, someone came to the palace. A eunuch came in and asked, "Your Highness, King Jie, where is Guan Qian's family?"
"I'm looking for her. Why are you looking for her?"
The eunuch said with a smile: "Your Highness, this is not a slave looking for her, the emperor is asking Butler Qian to come to the palace."
"Who is looking for me?" Duoduo had originally taken her son to play with Nangong Jie, so she hid away, but when she heard someone was looking for her, she walked out of a side room.
The eunuch said respectfully: "Steward Qian, you have arrived just in time. Please follow me into the palace. The emperor is waiting for you."
"The emperor is looking for me?" Duoduo was confused. If the emperor was curious about the sudden disappearance of the fifth prince for a while, he should ask his own son. Why are you looking for her?
"Yes, Butler Qian, and the emperor has said that you are the only one entering the palace, and others do not have to follow, please."
Nangong Jie was curious, so he stuffed a piece of silver into the eunuch's hand and asked, "Eunuch, I wonder if you can tell me why my father asked the money steward to enter the palace?"
"This..." The eunuch put the money away and said, "I don't know...but looking at the emperor's face, he is happy, not worried."
Nangong Jie felt relieved now. This eunuch was the best at observing his master's expression. Since it was happiness, there was probably nothing wrong with it. Maybe his father just wanted her to go into the palace to reminisce about old times and thank her savior.
"Mom, I'm going too, I'm going too, the emperor loves me so much." Bin'er said, holding Duoduo's hand.
"Okay, okay, mom will take you there." Duoduo picked up his son and said, "Let's go, father-in-law."
"This... Steward Qian, the emperor has said that you are the only one allowed to enter the palace. You are a slave and cannot be the master."
"What? This is my son. Besides, didn't he always live in the palace a while ago?" Duoduo was very surprised.
The eunuch looked apologetic and said: "Steward Qian, as slaves, we have to do whatever the master says, otherwise no one will be able to bear the blame if the master blames us."
"Okay, okay, you are really useless. You are afraid of this and that. Son, it seems that you can only wait for your mother at home with your godfather."
"Oh..." Bin'er sensibly let go of Duoduo's hand, and instead took Nangong Jie's hand and said, "Godfather, Bin'er will sleep with you tonight."
Duoduo smiled and said: "Fool, mother will be back soon, don't worry."
The eunuch said again: "Steward Qian, it's getting late and the emperor is waiting."
"I know, it's rude!" Duoduo rolled his eyes at the eunuch. This damn sissy was probably upset because he didn't give him a silver reward last time, so she took the opportunity to make things difficult for him.
The Prince of Persia walked in frivolously with a wine flask. He happened to see Duoduo walking out with the eunuch, and asked: "Hey, fifth prince, isn't that the father-in-law beside the emperor? What did he do to find Duoduo beautiful?"
?”
Nangong Jie shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know either. I just know that my father wants to find the housekeeper to enter the palace."
"Oh?" Prince of Persia hit his head with a wine bottle, and suddenly said: "Now we're going to be in trouble..."
"Trouble?" Nangong Jie asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Why did Brother Bosi say that? Is there any ulterior secret in it?"
"Ah? Oh no, no, I mean, Duoduo has entered the palace, and the child will be a problem for you."
Nangong Jie took a long breath and said, "Looking at what you said, I thought something serious would happen."
This is the first time Duoduo has entered the palace. His mood is different from the first time he entered the palace. The palace's magnificence and majestic buildings allow Duoduo to appreciate for the first time the outstanding wisdom and workmanship of this generation.
.
Especially the two huge stone dragons hovering on the tower above the palace gate made Duoduo puzzled. At a glance, it was obvious that the stone dragons were carved from a complete boulder, but such a big stone,
How did those people do it without a crane?
There are also wide walkways in the palace, all paved with flat and uniformly large stone slabs, with various precious flowers and plants, and small fish ponds made of white jade. Oh my God, if you build a palace, the whole country will not be hungry for ten years?
Duoduo marveled all the way, forgetting how far he had traveled. It was not until he entered the emperor's study room that he suddenly woke up and put his thoughts back.
"Your Majesty, Butler Qian is here. I'm sorry to leave."
"Oh? Hahahaha, girl Duoduo, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Although Nangong Ming was dressed in casual clothes and the dragon pattern on his body was not very obvious, Duoduo felt a slight chill whenever he stood there. Fortunately, his heroic smile made her nervousness dissipate.
A lot.
"The daughter of the common people has a lot of money, so she goes to see the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live, long live the emperor!"
"There is no need to be too polite if you have a lot of people. You should be flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Duoduo stood up, bowed his head and stood to one side and said, "I wonder why the Emperor summoned Duoduo?"
Nangong Ming said with a smile: "What, it's okay, can't I come find you?"
"No, Duoduo just feels that the emperor has been working day and night on national affairs, and I'm afraid that he has done something wrong, which has affected you, the emperor."
"Oh, Duoduo, you are worrying too much. I summoned you to the palace this time because I want you to see something."
After Nangong Ming finished speaking, he reached out and gently pulled up a curtain on the wall. As the curtain moved upwards, many paintings on the wall quickly appeared in front of Duoduo's eyes.
The women in the paintings are playing the piano, admiring flowers, playing in the water, or bowing their heads in meditation. Each has its own charm and different style, but they also have something in common, that is, they are wearing roughly the same clothes.
Duoduo was slightly startled: I seem to have seen these women before. Could it be that Liu Xu's previous impressions popped up from the back of my mind... "What's it like? Do you know this woman?" Nangong Ming asked with a smile.
"This... looks familiar."
"Of course it looks familiar, these are all you, hahahaha..." Nangong Ming said, poured a cup of tribute tea and handed it to Duoduo.
"Is this person me?" Duoduo stared at it carefully, took a sip of tea, and said, "That's not right. There may be something wrong with my eyes. It doesn't look like him."
As Duoduo spoke, she looked at the tea cup in her hand and was suddenly shocked. Oh my god, the emperor poured her tea! She quickly bowed and saluted: "Thank you, the emperor, for the tea!"
The sudden thank you, and the action was too rude, actually startled Nangong Ming. He turned around and said with a smile: "Duoduo, you are too unobtrusive. You don't need to be polite when you see me in the future. You are my lifesaver."
My benefactor."
After that, Nangong Ming pointed to the portraits and said: "These portraits were painted by multiple painters at the same time. I described the facial features orally and then they painted them. It's a pity that I'm not very proficient in painting, otherwise I would have found you long ago."
Already."
"Looking for me? Your Majesty, what are you looking for?"
"Thank you. Others think that I am a ruthless person, but in fact I am not that terrible. I just make a distinction between black and white, merit and reward, fault and punishment. You saved not only me, but the entire Southern Dynasty.
The destiny of the country, so I must rush to find you and reward you well."
"Haha, let me tell you, it turns out that the emperor dictated Duoduo's appearance. No wonder the women in the paintings are completely different, but they all have some similarities with Duoduo."
"Well, at that time General Sima was curious, why am I so interested in a woman like you?"
Duoduo suddenly panicked. Judging from the emperor's behavior tonight, he might have fallen in love with her, right? Why did he summon her to the palace alone, and also told her that he wanted a painter to paint her image?
Why is this not good!
In order to prevent the emperor from suddenly saying something like "because I fell in love with you at first sight", Duoduo quickly said: "Haha, didn't the emperor say that? It's all because the emperor wants to thank Duoduo, it's not any gratitude.
Interested, actually thank you
, I can only express my gratitude to the Emperor. Duoduo never dreamed that one day he would be able to see the Emperor with his own eyes, and even save the Emperor. This is a great blessing, but it is a simple effort, and the Emperor does not need it.
Don’t take it to heart anymore.”
"Wrong!" Nangong Ming suddenly became very serious and said: "Actually, it's not because I want to thank you, but a feeling. I really wanted to see you again at that time. Maybe you are too special and completely different from the women in my harem.
, so I am very curious.”
"Curious?" Duoduo pretended not to understand: "Curious? Is there anything about Duoduo that makes the emperor curious? That is really a blessing, haha."
"Well, I was really very curious at that time. For example, Duoduo, why did you bring your son, who is Duoduo, why he has such a good hand, etc. Come, sit down first, and then you can solve these mysteries for me.
.”
After Nangong Ming finished speaking, he motioned for Duoduo to sit down on the chair opposite him.
The emperor's words are the imperial edict, who dares to disobey?
Duoduo had no choice but to sit down calmly, but her mind was racing rapidly. Because the emperor had raised a difficult problem for her, she couldn't just say nothing, right?
Facing a smart person like the Emperor, it is definitely not easy to get through.
"Your Majesty, Duoduo is actually very simple. Because his parents died when he was young, he was picked up and raised by his master. When he grew up, he married his senior brother. Unexpectedly, his senior brother suddenly fell ill and passed away, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers. In order to make a living,
I had no choice but to take my son down the mountain to seek a living. Unexpectedly, I was able to save the emperor by such a coincidence, and even entered Prince Jie's palace as a servant."
Duoduo's understatement made people sound very ordinary, very streamlined, and very fake, but Nangong Ming believed it to be true and asked: "Where did Duoduo learn his martial arts skills? Who is the master?"
