Chapter 78 Chen Xu ordered to see her
Upon hearing Yuwenhui's request, Gao Changgong immediately changed his expression and continued: "Mr. Yuwen, that lady of the miracle doctor is just a common woman, not a maid of the East Palace. How can she be summoned at will regardless of her wishes?"
Hearing this, Yu Wenzhi seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and continued: "King Lanling is so nervous, is it possible that Prince Lanling also likes such a beauty?"
"Wouldn't it be better? Since everyone likes it, just ask her to come to the East Palace and enjoy it together!"
Yu Wenhui demanded unceremoniously.
Prince Chen Shubao was still hesitant. At this moment, another servant of the East Palace shouted loudly: "Your Majesty has arrived——"
As the sound of a sharp whistle came, a tall figure was walking slowly, surrounded by a group of guards.
This is Chen Xu, the new emperor of the Chen Dynasty. Chen Xu, who is nearly forty years old, is well-maintained. Although he has a beard, his face is handsome, and the richness and handsomeness of his youth can be vaguely seen. At this time, he does not wear any symbolic clothing. Instead of wearing the royal robes of the emperor, they wear wide-sleeved shirts, white robes, and white gauze hats like the scholars.
When Chen Xu walked into the East Palace, Chen Shubao, Chen Shuling, Chen Bogu and a group of scribes from the East Palace immediately rushed to greet him.
"My son didn't know that my father was coming, so I didn't go far enough to welcome him. I ask my father's forgiveness!" Prince Chen Shubao saluted.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The others saluted in unison.
Chen Xu looked at the crowd of East Palace officials and the envoys from Qi and Zhou, smiled slightly, raised his hand and said: "My lords, please get up! No need to be polite, just go back to your respective positions!"
"Today I am not here to see you as the Son of Heaven. Just like you, I am here to drink wine, recite poems, and admire beauties!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" A scribe replied with a smile, picked up a cup of wine and drank it all.
"Oh, by the way, what beauty were you talking about just now? What kind of beauty can win the favor of King Lanling?"
Chen Xu suddenly asked. In fact, he didn't care what kind of beauty she was. He had seen too many beauties in his life, including Princess Liyang, the most beautiful woman in Nanliang, and Han Zigao, the emperor's favorite male favorite. He had seen them all. However, one of them was given as a gift to the powerful official of the Eastern Wei Dynasty at that time, and the other died in his hands.
No matter how beautiful the people or things in this world are, they are just passing clouds. When you are young, you will be obsessed with them, but when you reach a certain age, you will feel that they are nothing more than that.
There is only one thing that can never be forgotten no matter how things change, or even if the beauty turns to withered bones.
When the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty heard this question, Yu Wenhui did not hide it and said directly: "Your Majesty, I have heard for a long time that there are many beautiful ladies from the Jiankang noble family, and the most famous miracle doctor in Jiankang recently is Lanling Xiao. The daughter of the eldest daughter of the family, I heard that this woman is not only good at medicine, but also has acquired a skill called painting and dancing, which is called painting and dancing, so I sincerely request your Majesty to come and see her. "
It was an "edict" to see him, not a summons. Such an unreasonable request was already very arrogant.
This Yuwen Hui was really used to bullying Chen Xu's family, who was once his hostage, and he dared to ask for the emperor of Chen State. Yu Wenxun saw that Chen Xu's expression changed obviously, and he quickly reprimanded Yu Wen Hui: "This is nonsense. ! How can I trouble Your Majesty with such a trivial matter? If you really admire his name, just come and visit me some other time!"
After saying this, he saluted Chen Xu and said, "My brother is so arrogant and rude that your Majesty is laughing at him. Your Majesty does not need to pay attention to such rude requests!"
Yu Wenhui frowned in anger.
At this time, Chen Xu actually asked: "If she doesn't come today, you will have to visit her in person tomorrow?"
When asking this question, Chen Xu saw from the corner of his eye that Gao Changgong had already clenched his fists.
Yu Wenxun said with a smile: "It's just talk, just talk, Your Majesty, don't take it seriously!"
Chen Xu smiled inexplicably and said, "Just in time, I really want to meet this miracle doctor recently!"
What kind of woman could she have returned to Jiankang less than two months ago and already caused uproar in the city? Prince Lanling and Xu Shangshu of Xu Ling both spoke out for her, forcing him to temporarily dismiss Xiao Jian as the casual knight. In this position, his sister, Princess Kumogakure, is banned.
In particular, Xu Ling also showed him a painting: The garden is full of spring scenery, and a red apricot tree comes out of the wall!
He had only seen such a masterful painting skill from one person before!
Although there are many talented people in the world, he still doesn't believe that there are people in this world who can compare with her!
But Chen Xu’s words made everyone present think deeply:
Does he want to see you too? If the emperor of Chen also fell in love with this miracle doctor, what does it have to do with them?
You can't compete with this Emperor Chen for beauty, right? Chen Shuling's face turned even darker, and he didn't know what he was feeling in his heart. He secretly scolded Chen Bogu for coming up with a bad idea. Not only could he not get the little lady by Zhou Envoy's hand, but he also had a lot of "love rivals"!
It’s good now, even my father is interested!
…
When the chamberlain conveyed Chen Xu's edict to the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Jian and Princess Yunyin were very angry. Princess Yunyin could not leave the mansion, so Xiao Jian came out alone to receive the order, thinking that His Majesty had pardoned their crimes and reinstated his official position. Xiao Jian couldn't help but be overjoyed when he got the job, but when the chamberlain asked: "Where is your granddaughter Xiao Jinyu? Your Majesty wants to see her!" Xiao Jian was completely stunned by these words!
"Looking for her? But she's not in Xiao Mansion?"
"She is your granddaughter of the Xiao family. Where is she if she is not in the Xiao family?"
"Although she is the granddaughter of my Xiao family, there is nothing I can do if she wants to separate the family! Wu Zhongguan, look..."
"Split the family?" Wu Shi didn't care whether the family was separated or not. The most important thing now was to find this young lady, so he pulled Xiao Jiandao, "No, Xiao Changshi, you have to take me to find her. Your Majesty has made it clear today. I must come to the East Palace to see you, my granddaughter. If I can’t even handle this little errand, how can I have the honor to meet His Majesty!”
Xiao Jian was helpless and was forced to take Chamberlain Wu to Jianxi Hutong where Early Spring Courtyard was located. He saw that the plaque with the words "Early Spring Courtyard" above the courtyard had long been replaced, and now it was hung with the two characters "Xiao Zhai". Moreover, these two characters were written with strong brushwork, free and handsome style, and had the style of two kings. Xiao Jian was fascinated by it for a moment.
Not only that, the door of the house where Xiao Zhai was written was also hung with white silk and white curtains, as if a funeral had just been held.
Wu's servant felt something ominous when he saw it, but he had to stay because of his errands. Just as he was about to go forward, he saw someone suddenly falling down from the top of the courtyard.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" A thin young man stopped in front of the door and yelled.
The chamberlain immediately said with a smile: "His Majesty has spoken and ordered Xiao Jinyu, the granddaughter of Changshi Xiao, to come to the East Palace to see you!"
"What oral order? Whose oral order? My wife is busy and I won't see anyone today!"
Zhui Feng, who was guarding the door, said bluntly.
Xiao Jian was anxious and quickly stepped forward and said: "Where did you come from? You don't even know His Majesty's oral instructions. This is an order from His Majesty. I have to follow it. Go and tell your wife that Your Majesty wants to see you." she!"
…
"Your Majesty wants to summon me? Chen Xu?" Xiao Jinyu was also surprised when he heard the news.
Now, as the king of a country, it was impossible for Chen Xu to ask her to see her sister-in-law, who had no official position or position, for no reason. Someone must have said something in front of him to make such a request.
"I heard that today both the Zhou Envoy and the Qi Envoy were attending a banquet in His Royal Highness's East Palace, and His Majesty also went there. I don't know what they talked about during the meeting, but His Majesty also sent an edict..."
Before Fenghuang finished speaking, he saw an arrow shooting from the sky, and it struck the threshold with a snap. Just as he was about to catch up, Ling Ye brought someone in with him.
Xiao Jinyu saw that this person was the little guard beside King Lanling!
"Let me go, let me go. I am your lady's great benefactor. I have testified for your lady before!"
Xiao Jinyu smiled: "Let him go!"
Ling Ye obeyed the order and let go. Lu Yu immediately walked up to Xiao Jinyu and said, "My dear lady, you have really been in the limelight recently and have caused a lot of trouble. The king of my county asked me to pass a message to my little lady. If you are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. The so-called cherishing a jade is a crime. If a woman has medical skills, talent and beauty, she will definitely become the object of competition for those powerful people!
Young lady, think about it carefully, how should you go to see His Majesty the Chen Kingdom? Now in the Prince's East Palace, not only the envoys of Zhou and Qi, but also King Shixing and many scribes were present. "
"Okay, thank you for letting me know! And thank you to your prince!"
Seeing her incredibly beautiful face smiling slightly, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile too. He felt his heartbeat slow down, so he quickly bowed his hands and bowed, and left, still sighing in his heart: Oh my God, this is like this. I am afraid that if those dignitaries in the East Palace see her appearance, she will be like a hungry wolf pounce on her prey. How can this little lady have any peace?
"Ayu, let me go with you!" Xiao Xian said with concern after Lu Yu left.
Xiao Jinyu nodded with a smile and looked at Phoenix again.
"Give me another disguise. It will still be my mother's face, but it will look pale and haggard."
