One hundred and seventieth chapters early morning call to court
Late at night, in front of the Qingning Gate in the palace, a carriage slowly stopped, surrounded by many palace servants. The queen sitting on it was wearing a dragon, phoenix and pearl emerald crown, and was dressed in dark blue uniforms, even though there was only the faint light of the accompanying lantern.
, but the light on her jeweled and brilliantly embroidered clothes still brought out a hazy brilliance.
She got off the carriage and glanced at the eldest prince and the second prince who were walking in the car next to her. There was a hint of deep sullenness on her face. However, she did not lose her temper at this time and place, and took a deep breath.
She immediately ordered people to knock on the door and ask for permission. However, Xu Shanggong, who was beside her, went to the door to announce her intention, but after hesitating for a moment, the door was not opened.
"Queen, the Emperor is chatting with the Queen Mother, and he said that even if the sky falls, we will talk about it tomorrow."
Faced with this obvious rejection, the queen took a deep breath and looked at the second prince with stern eyes. Under her glare, even though the second prince was full of anger, he could only hesitate in the end.
He stepped forward and called the door in person, saying that he came to apologize. However, under the Queen's silent urging, the eldest prince, who was feeling unlucky, could only call the door together.
However, the two brothers kept talking and just whispered something to report first, but the final reply was still the same as before: "Empress, you should go back with the two princes. The emperor said that it is too late.
Okay, let’s talk about anything tomorrow. Also, please ask the eldest prince and the second prince to go to court together tomorrow morning.”
Although the two princes are close to adulthood, they occasionally go to court together, but they can only listen, and they can't attend every day. If the emperor usually allows them to go to court together in the morning, the brothers will be happy before it is too late, and they will even compete with each other.
, causing each other to stumble. But at this moment, after hearing this order, their hearts suddenly trembled.
Especially the second prince who got into trouble today after being drunk, was in an extremely uneasy mood. At this moment, he heard the queen's voice coming from behind: "Your Majesty refused my mother and son from the door. Didn't the Queen Mother have any instructions?"
?"
Zhong Yuquan has already arrived behind the Qingning Gate in person. She is one of the few female officials in the palace who has exceeded the age limit. She has been with the Queen Mother for more than thirty years. At this time, when she heard the Queen's words, she was actually mocking the Queen Mother for not helping the eldest prince.
When she was talking to the second prince, she was immediately furious. But at least she knew that it was not appropriate for her to come forward at this time, so she immediately winked at the chamberlain at the door.
The chamberlain could only cough dryly and said: "Empress, the Empress Dowager said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. She is now enjoying her old age, so she doesn't care about so much. Empress, your family is well-educated and you teach your children well, so naturally you don't need her more."
explain."
The words "Godson is good" were like a slap in the face, which made the Queen's face turn pale. She took two steps back, turned around and got on the couch without saying a word, then slammed the armrest, and one word popped out from between her teeth:
"Walk!"
The eldest prince was originally not willing to accompany the second prince, but his intentions were exposed by the queen before, and he was scolded bloody. At this time, he snorted coldly and immediately rushed to the side of the carriage, with a smile on his face.
He comforted and explained in a low voice. Although the second prince also hurried over, when he got to the other side of the carriage, what was waiting for him was the Queen's heartbreaking reproach.
"Erlang, what do you want me to say to you? Why do you have to fight with your eldest brother everywhere? Can't you brothers work together? You are so old, but you have never heard that two people working together can be more powerful than gold?
"
When the second prince saw the eldest prince glancing at him proudly, he couldn't help but feel so angry that his heart ached, his liver ached, and everything else hurt. The East Palace had no owner, and the third and fourth princes were obviously too young to even compete, and the emperor threw them halfway up the Imperial Palace.
Tang, he has clearly shown his clear intention. If he doesn't fight now, he will surrender in the future... Why!
Is it just because the eldest prince was lucky enough to be born more than a year earlier than me?
This night, many people did not sleep well. Zhang Shou and Lu Sanlang stayed with each other until midnight, and then fell asleep. After all, tomorrow is the holiday of Banshan Hall, but not the holiday of Jiuzhang Hall——
Compared with the Guijie disciples who cannot endure hardships, Jiuzhangtang's weekend breaks are denied by the prison students themselves, so they can only have one day off every six days.
Zhang Shou originally planned to give the extra working time of the day to Lu Sanlang, the chief of the restaurant, to lead everyone to review the past and learn the new. However, now that it is a subject he has brought up by himself, he cannot just be the boss. Last night, he
I was so exhausted that I died.
In the early morning, he once again relied on his tenacious biological clock to open his eyes hard.
By the way, last night after Lu Sanlang came back from a trip to the Weinan uncle's house, the two of them were doing calculations in the house... After finally sending the message out, they just had a bed and a soft couch... Lu Sanlang was very happy
She gave up her bed to him in a disciple-like manner, and finally did not have to worry about having enough time to sleep...
Hearing that Lu Sanlang was still sleeping soundly and snoring continuously, Zhang Shou saw that the sky was getting dark outside, and there was no person from the Imperial College who was responsible for ringing the bell and calling him. He was thinking about whether to wake him up when there was a call outside the door.
There was a knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, Lu Wan's voice came through the door: "Dr. Zhang, and Lu Zhu, there is a message from the palace that you will go to the morning court together today!"
Lu Sanlang, who was still snoring in bed, almost turned over and sat up with a quick movement that was completely out of proportion to his body. He looked around blankly and said confusedly: "I seem to hear my father's voice? Are you dreaming?
It must be a dream, why would my father ask me to go to court! Well, I think about it every day and dream about it at night..."
Zhang Shou saw the little fat man getting up and lying down heavily. After a while, he started snoring loudly again. He could even feel it through the door, and the blue veins on Lu Wan's forehead were popping up one by one. At that moment, he felt deeply
He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Lu Sanlang, class is here!"
In an instant, Lu Sanlang bounced up as if he had been loaded with springs. He even started to get out of bed and pull on his shoes with his eyes closed. Then he rustled around to find clothes to wear, muttering something in his mouth: "You can't be late, you have to be late."
Be dignified and graceful, and always remember that I am the chief of the fast, I am the chief of the fast..."
Is your kid hypnotizing yourself?
Zhang Shou finally couldn't help laughing, and all the remaining sleepiness was gone: "Okay, wake up quickly. Your father is waiting outside. The palace has sent word that I will go to court with you."
At this point, when Lu Sanlang finally opened his eyes and was obviously sober, he suddenly remembered the most important thing - he usually lectures in the Imperial College and only wears regular clothes. Today he goes to court. This is extremely serious.
For special occasions, he has to wear official uniforms - but he doesn't seem to have official uniforms yet, right? Are the clothes of the sixth and seventh grades the same?
Therefore, when Lu Sanlang started to dress up in a hurry, he had a headache.
However, when he got out of bed and put on his coat, Lu Sanlang had already rushed to the door in three steps and opened the door. He saw his father standing outside the door with a livid face, not knowing that he had
He was still talking in his sleep. He suddenly jumped back and backed away again and again, and then asked with a vigilant face: "Dad, are you kidding me? I am a prison student, why should I go to court!"
"Who asked you to do such good things!"
Lu Wan sneered, and then ordered the people behind him: "Send Dr. Zhang and Sanlang's clothes in and change quickly. The time for the court waits for no one! If it had been the time before the court, it would have been too late now!
"
Hearing that her father was blaming her for getting up late, Lu Wan snorted unconvincedly: "That's because Emperor Taizu was sympathetic to the officials. He said that being groggy early in the morning was not good for your health, so he didn't go to court at the same time in winter and summer.
Same, and the list of participants for Chang Chao and Da Chao has also been deleted... Besides, Mr. Xiao and I were so busy last night that we didn’t go to bed until midnight!"
Lu Wan hated it most when someone talked back to him, and because his wife had made a fuss last night, he was naturally even more annoyed. If Zhang Shou hadn't appeared behind Lu Sanlang right after him and thanked him with a smile, he would have been there long ago.
He just wanted to teach the little fat man a lesson. At the moment, he didn't want to stay any longer, and walked away after saying a few words.
"After you change your clothes, come out quickly, it's getting late!"
Seeing her father leaving, Lu Wan saw that it was Mother Jin who came to deliver the clothes in person, so she hurried up and asked: "Mother Jin, why are you suddenly ordered to let me and the young gentleman go to court? There are not many people in the palace.
Tell me a few words? Also, what should we do about the Liu family’s marriage proposal? What did dad and mom say last night? Where did the little gentleman’s clothes come from? "
Lu Sanlang had so many questions, and Jin's mother couldn't even laugh or cry. When Zhang Shou smiled and said nothing, she said angrily: "Third Young Master, don't ask so many questions. First change your clothes, you have to eat something to quell your hunger, and then bring something with you."
Eat on the way. Otherwise, if you get hungry when you go to court, there will be no place to take care of your food. If you faint from hunger, it will be a disgrace on your part!"
Lu Sanlang was stunned and stopped when he saw Jin's mother motioning for the girls to come into the house to help him wash and change clothes.
Mother Jin, who followed the house, saw the two little girls' cheeks turning red while they were dressing Zhang Shou in official uniforms, and their eyes kept glancing at the person. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Fortunately, Dr. Zhang does not often come to live in his home. When the Duke of Zhao sent the clothes, he vaguely reminded him not to let Zhang Shou stay overnight in the future... Otherwise, some unpleasant gossip might spread in the future! Well,
Not with the girl, but with this fat young master of my own...
When Lu Wan, who was about to get on the bus at the gate, saw the teachers and students coming from the other end of the corridor, he felt his temples pounding again, and his whole mood was extremely complicated. In front of him, Zhang Shou's sleeves were fluttering, and the jade trees were facing the wind.
Lu Sanlang's manners were outstanding. Lu Sanlang behind him carried a saving box and followed suit with a smile, just like a fat boy serving the young master with snacks.
