The riding whip of the bamboo forest swayed in the air and made a crisp sound, but it did not fall on the horse.
He looked ahead and sighed inwardly.
"Miss Danzhu," he said, "the palace is coming soon. Should I ask to see His Majesty now, or should I wait a while?"
Chen Danzhu lifted the car curtain: "Of course it is now? Why wait?"
Zhu Lin said dullly: "Because now is the time for His Majesty to have lunch."
Chen Danzhu raised his head to look at the sky and sighed: "It's already time for lunch. I forgot about it - that's just right. Maybe your majesty will give me lunch if I go."
Wasn't he just scolded by the emperor to get out a few days ago? He still dared to go, and he dared to shamelessly ask the emperor to give him food. Miss Danzhu really - Zhulin has given up. What can he do? He is now Miss Danzhu's bodyguard.
As expected, the emperor was having lunch, because he got up early and had a simple meal. Lunch was the most important meal in the palace, and it was also the time when the emperor was happiest. After finishing his work in the morning, he ate happily, then took a lunch break, and then
The endless political affairs began again——
Today's lunch was not just for the emperor, but also for the princes and the crown prince of Qi. They were chatting in a relaxed and pleasant manner.
When Eunuch Jinzhong saw a young eunuch walking timidly, his heart skipped a beat. According to his status, this young eunuch could easily not come into the palace to reply, but there was one exception——
"Aji." Eunuch Jinzhong came over and called in a low voice, "Miss Danzhu has come to ask for an audience?"
The young eunuch Aji nodded hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief. Since eunuch Jin Zhong had asked, he did not need to go to the emperor in person to answer the question.
Why is this Miss Danzhu here again? Isn't it spoiling the emperor's mood by choosing her when he is happy? Eunuch Jinzhong sighed and stepped aside: "Go ahead."
Huh? The little eunuch Aji was stunned, then looked at eunuch Zhong with a wrinkled face, and called out to grandpa in confusion.
Eunuch Jinzhong only said solemnly: "Go and report it quickly."
The little eunuch Aji could only walk up to the emperor cautiously. The emperor was listening to what the fifth prince said. He laughed and picked up the wine glass. When he was about to drink, he turned around and saw the little eunuch coming next to him. His face suddenly fell.
Coming down: "It's you again!"
Your Majesty actually remembered him. If Aji had been happy in the past, he would have cried. Well, now he wants to cry too, but not with joy.
"Your Majesty, no, it's not me." He couldn't help but explain, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to come to see Your Majesty.
The emperor didn't care about the little eunuch's confusing words, frowned and asked: "Chen Danzhu is here again?"
Aji nodded hurriedly: "Yes, she asked to see His Majesty."
The emperor felt so annoyed. What did Chen Danzhu want to do? He glanced at the third prince who was sitting at the table below. The third prince was concentrating on eating. Previously, the secret guard reported that the third prince and Chen Danzhu were secretly having sex in Dingyun Temple.
At the meeting, the third prince also made sugar hawthorn for Chen Danzhu, and the two of them did this and that under the hawthorn tree——
Because of the calamity that this son suffered when he was young, the emperor has always felt guilty and pity for him. He has taken good care of him and raised him to such a young age that he has never even poured a cup of tea. Now he is rolling up his sleeves to make sugar hawthorn for a girl! He, the father
I haven't even had a bite of the emperor's food, which is really annoying.
Chen Danzhu had just seduced his son in this way and came to see him again. Could it be that he wanted to propose marriage? To get him to agree to the marriage with the third prince?
He would never disagree!
The emperor put down the wine glass: "Let her in!"
The little eunuch hurriedly shrank his head and ran away. The emperor lowered his face and made great movements. The prince Qi and Crown Prince who were sitting at the table stopped.
"It's okay." The emperor reassured them, "You can continue to eat, I have something to do."
After saying that, he stood up and Eunuch Jinzhong hurriedly led the emperor into the side hall next to him.
The fifth prince winked at the table: "Guess who made father unhappy?"
The Prince of Qi sighed softly: "Your Majesty has great talents and strategies, and works hard to govern. He never slacks off and refuses to enjoy himself for a moment. He always keeps state affairs in mind. It is rare to be happy -"
The fourth prince had long disliked him and cursed: "Chu Shaoan, please shut up. Don't talk sweetly here. It's not because of you and your father that your majesty is rarely happy."
Prince Qi's eyes suddenly turned red, and he raised his sleeves to cover his face: "I am guilty, thank you so much, Fourth Prince, I will apologize to Your Majesty." The Fourth Prince glared angrily.
The fifth prince was laughing and watching the fun, adding fuel to the flames and encouraging the fourth prince to beat up Prince Qi. The elder second prince stepped forward to stop it: "Don't make any noise, my father is troubled." After that, he glanced at the table.
The quiet third prince said, "It's great to be like my third brother——"
Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps in the side hall, the sound of doors opening and closing, and a clear female voice.
"My maiden, Chen Danzhu is here to see Your Majesty."
Chen Danzhu——
The noisy Crown Prince Qi and the Fourth Prince stopped immediately, and all eyes were fixed on the Third Prince. The Fourth Prince couldn't help but burst into laughter first.
"Second brother, let's forget it." He laughed in a low voice, "If we were all like third brother, befriending a woman like Chen Danzhu, my father would be in trouble every day."
The third prince ignored his sneer and raised his head to look at the side hall, a little worried. Why did Miss Danzhu come to see your majesty again? Is it to express gratitude or to admit guilt or——
Chen Danzhu solemnly bowed and knelt down in the palace to pay homage: "Chen Danzhu thanks Your Majesty for pardoning the crime of being disrespectful to the Imperial Academy."
The emperor looked at the girl who was kneeling on the ground and confessed her mistake, and sneered: "Really? So you know that this is a crime of disrespect? Does this mean that the crime of knowing the crime should be increased to one level?"
Chen Danzhu raised his head: "Your Majesty, I am doing this all because of--"
"For me!" The emperor took the lead and pointed at Chen Danzhu, "Are you here to say thank you, confess your guilt, or are you angry with me? You keep saying the same thing every day, for me, so if you say it like this, it's my fault.
First?"
Chen Danzhu said: "It's not your fault, Your Majesty. It has always been like this. Your Majesty is just doing things as usual."
The emperor roared.
"Your Majesty, think about it, if it hadn't been for this competition, would you have seen those dozen talents from the common people?" Chen Danzhu asked, "They couldn't even enter the Imperial College, let alone be recommended to His Majesty.
.”
She knew that this woman would not come obediently to say thank you or admit her mistake. She really came here to pester her endlessly, or to get more benefits, to make the Imperial Academy apologize to her, to make Xu Luozhi bow to her, and then she could be even more unscrupulous -
—
The emperor settled his guess and sneered: "Then I have to thank you."
Chen Danzhu said: "No need to thank you. I hope your majesty will agree to a request."
The emperor kicked the nose and slapped the dragon chair: "Chen Danzhu, get out of here immediately. You are not allowed to enter the palace again. Take back the Xiaowei around you!"
Chen Danzhu raised his head and shouted to His Majesty: "You have seen that there are so many talented people from the common people, but because of their recommendation, their talents and learning cannot be presented to Your Majesty. They can only go around and sell their talents to the nobles. Wealthy and powerful people exchange for a future, and the children of the common people only know how to be grateful to the nobles and nobles. This future is clearly given to the nobles and nobles by His Majesty, and is used by them to drive the common people and nobles to do things like cattle and horses, and gain people's merits - no one else will say. , Your Majesty, the Crown Prince of Qi all know that through this competition, he can win over scholars from all over the world, and hundreds of talents have gathered in the palace! "
Prince Qi, who was stunned in the main hall at the side, shuddered and turned pale.
Chen Danzhu! I have no enmity or enmity with you, what are you doing to me?
