Chapter 783 Exhibitionism
As the sun sets, the palace gate is locked, and a young man in official uniform gallops on a horse from a distance, followed closely by more than a dozen Dongchang fans.
The young man here is Zhu Pingan.
After the inventory data was checked, Zhu Ping'an immediately took the data in his arms, rode his horse and whipped his whip, and went straight to Xiyuan to ask for an audience with Emperor Jiajing.
At the gate of Xiyuan Palace, Zhu Pingan got off his horse and knocked on the door of Xiyuan Palace.
At this time, the person in charge of the palace gate was Eunuch Cao, the one who was promoted from the Clothing Bureau by Feng Bao. He would take the initiative to greet Zhu Ping'an every time he entered the palace.
"My Lord Xiao Zhu, why do you ask to see the Holy One at this time? The Holy One is taking elixirs with dinner at this time. It is against the rules for you to see the Holy One at this time. Zajia suggests that Xiao Zhu It would be best if you ask for an audience as soon as possible tomorrow." Eunuch Cao saw that it was Zhu Pingan who was knocking at the palace door. After knowing Zhu Pingan's intention, he couldn't help but kindly remind Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Ping'an cupped his hands and shook his head with a wry smile, "Eunuch Cao, this matter is very important and I dare not delay. I have no choice but to obey the authority in a hurry. I would like to ask Eunuch Cao to communicate with you internally. The consequences will be determined by you." Ping An is responsible for it alone.”
“How big is it?” Eunuch Cao asked curiously.
"It concerns the foundation of the country." Zhu Pingan replied seriously.
"Master Xiao Zhu, please wait a moment. The Za family will go in to Tongbing immediately." Upon hearing this, Eunuch Cao knew that the matter was of great importance, so he turned around and went in to Tongbing without hesitation.
"Thank you, Eunuch Cao."
Zhu Pingan thanked him and stood outside the palace gate waiting.
The sun set in the west, and the sunset glow burned half of the sky red, and the palace wall of the west gate was also burned red.
Waiting for a long time.
Zhu Pingan's legs became sore after standing for so long.
"Creak..."
The sound of opening the door sounded to Zhu Ping'an as if it were the sound of nature.
Eunuch Cao opened the palace door, wiped the sweat on his head, and said to Zhu Ping'an while panting heavily, "Master Xiao Zhu... please come in."
" Thank you, Eunuch Cao." Zhu Pingan could tell from the sweat on Eunuch Cao's head and his heavy breathing that he had just run all the way. When he entered, Zhu Pingan nodded to him and thanked him.
"You're welcome, Mr. Xiao Zhu. Please hurry up and don't keep me waiting." Eunuch Cao smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Pingan nodded and walked quickly inside.
The palace ridge is filled with gold-eating beasts, the palace pillars have jade scales, both sides of the royal road are lined with green trees, famous flowers, red walls and gold tiles, all brilliant and brilliant.
The journey was smooth.
Logically speaking, the most common smell in the palace should be the smell of women's powder, but Xiyuan is different. The most prominent smell in Xiyuan is the smell of incense.
If I just talk about the taste, I would have thought I had entered a temple or a Taoist temple.
Walking at the entrance of Wanshou Palace, Zhu Pingan organized his speech again, adjusted his official uniform, and then walked inside.
As soon as I lifted my steps and was about to enter the door, I was hit by a gust of fragrant wind, and then I was hit by a person inside who ran out angrily.
"Princess, please slow down, be careful..." The two maids in the palace courtyard shouted in hindsight, but it was too late. When they shouted to be careful, they had already collided with each other.
The incident happened suddenly. Zhu Pingan was hit on the shoulder before he could avoid it, causing him to take a step back.
The man inside was not so lucky. He was half a head shorter than Zhu Pingan, and with his head lowered, his forehead directly hit Zhu Pingan's shoulder. His bright forehead immediately turned red, almost bulging into a small bump.
“Oh, what blind dog slave dares to block the way of this princess.” A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in palace clothes screamed in pain, covered her forehead with her slender hands, and pouted. He pointed at Zhu Pingan with his small mouth and cursed.
She’s actually a princess? !
Still a savage princess!
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an was full of curses in his heart, but who would let someone reincarnate? Although he was pointed at the nose and scolded, he could only lower his head, bend down to salute and hand over his hands to apologize, "I don't know what the princess is doing. Wei Chen is guilty.”
"Eh? Is it you, exhibitionist?!"
Zhu Pingan lowered his head, and suddenly heard an exclamation from above his head, and Zhu Pingan couldn't help but have a dark look on his face.
Is this princess crazy? !
Why am I being so exhibitionist? I am wearing official uniform very neatly, and this is the first time we have met!
“I am puzzled.”
Zhu Pingan lowered his head, speechless.
"So it turns out that my father drove me back to Fengyang Pavilion because of your faults?! Just wait! Huh! You're good to see!"
The princess's voice above her head was filled with excitement. He was angry, then snorted, flicked his sleeves, and left with a series of angry footsteps.
"I am terrified."
Zhu Ping'an is even more speechless. This princess is really crazy, it's inexplicable.
"Princess, please slow down."
The two palace ladies trotted and caught up.
When the footsteps faded away, Zhu Pingan raised his head, glanced with his peripheral vision, and saw the three retreating figures. He shook his head speechlessly and walked towards the palace.
Zhu Ping'an didn't take the threat of the princess who didn't even see her appearance seriously. He thought that this crazy princess might have mistakenly recognized the wrong person. She was an exhibitionist. How could it be him.
Things like princesses are unknown to people who live in the deep palace. I have only been in the palace a few times, and I have never seen even the palace maids, let alone the princess. Besides, I was very careful in the palace. I always dressed neatly. Even when I slept, I always wore pajamas. How could I dare to be exposed? Therefore, this somewhat neurotic princess must have mistakenly recognized the wrong person.
To Zhu Pingan, this was an inexplicable episode, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
Entering the outer hall of Wanshou Palace, the eunuch on duty announced the news inside. Soon Zhu Pingan was summoned and walked in.
"The guilty minister, Zhu Ping'an, bows to my emperor. Long live my emperor."
After entering the inner hall, Zhu Ping'an immediately bowed three times and bowed nine times in a polite manner. Kowtow ceremony, see Emperor Jiajing in the palace.
Emperor Jiajing was indeed eating just now, and he hadn't finished the meal yet, and there was still food on the table.
"Why do you call yourself a guilty minister?" Emperor Jiajing put down the jade bowl in his hand and looked at Zhu Pingan kneeling on the ground with interest and asked.
"It is a crime for me to do something that violates the rules when I asked to see the emperor while the palace door was locked and the emperor was having dinner." Zhu Pingan was lying on the ground, his forehead pressed against the floor tiles, and he replied respectfully.
"Zhu Pingan, you know that you violated the rules and asked me to meet you when I was eating. You are a young man, but you are very courageous." Emperor Jiajing stood up, walked up to Zhu Pingan, and said with a half-smile.
“It’s not that I’m bold, but it’s because the matter is so important that I dare not delay.” From the corner of his eye, Zhu Pingan saw the Shifang shoes embroidered with dragon patterns in front of him, and he couldn’t help but feel even more respectful.
The upper of Shifang shoes has a black and white strip pattern with ten holes on it, representing the ten directions of east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest, north, northeast, up and down. , also known as Shifang shoes, are shoes often worn by Taoist priests, and were also deeply loved by Emperor Jiajing, who admired Taoism. There is no doubt that it is Emperor Jiajing who is standing in front of him at this moment, looking down at him.
"Get up, tell me something important. I'm listening."
Emperor Jiajing walked to the dragon chair and sat down, with his hands behind his back.
"I, thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhu Ping'an saluted again, and Fang slowly stood up. (End of this chapter)
