Yutai Bi

Chapter 108 Zhaoyi
Cen Sanniang understood what he meant: "The late emperor deliberately refused to give you food and drink, did he want to see how your character is? Don't worry, once I enter the palace, no matter how curious I am, I won't look around and walk around at will."

Du Yansui shook her hand lightly, with a hint of guilt in his eyes: "Just bear with it for a while." His mouth was buzzing, wanting to say something, but in the end he squeezed it tightly and did not say it.

He wanted to say, after this time, if she wants to leave in the future, he will arrange a new identity for her, right?Cen Sanniang lowered her eyes: "You seem to feel that you owe me a lot."

She remembered how excited Du Yansui was when King Teng set fire to Reed Beach and Du Yansui found out that she was not dead.He was a traitor then and now.At that time, she thought that reunion after disaster, no matter how excited and happy people are, it is very normal.If it were her, she would be very excited.But now Cen Sanniang doesn't think so, Du Yansui has too many secrets in her heart.It's like she couldn't figure out why Le Youyuan didn't want to recognize him when they met again.The next moment, he was able to frankly admit to Baicao that he had used Kong Qing's identity.

"I'll tell you later." Du Yansui let go of her hand: "The servant who took us into the palace has come out."

Danfeng Gate is the main palace gate of Taiming Palace, and it will not be opened if there is no serious matter.The entrance and exit are all through the Wangxian Gate and Jianfu Gate on both sides of the main entrance.

After Du Yansui handed over the palace card and explained the reasons, they waited for about half an hour.At this time, several servants and maidservants came out from Wangxian Gate, carrying a small sedan chair with green curtains.

Du Yansui said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I'm right beside you."

Cen Sanniang nodded and got into the sedan chair.Hearing Du Yansui talking and joking with the leading servant, the sedan chair left the ground and entered the palace unsteadily.

She sat obediently in the sedan chair, thinking that Du Yansui was by her side, so she wasn't afraid at all.

After walking for more than half an hour, the sedan chair finally stopped.

After getting out of the sedan chair, the sky is already bright.Cen Sanniang glanced quickly, today is a good weather, the purple air before the rising sun in the east.In front of you is a beautiful and magnificent palace, with the word Penglai written on the plaque in the middle.She took a look, then lowered her head obediently, followed Du Yansui, and was led into the side hall by the servant.

"General Du and his wife are resting for the time being, waiting for the emperor to summon them." The servant saluted and left.

Not long after, two more maidservants came in with tea and snacks.

Four palace maids and two servants stood quietly in the hall, and there were two more at the door.

After taking off the cloak and handing it to a maid to keep it away, Cen Sanniang and Du Yan Suian quietly turned into two wooden sculptures on the chair.After a long time, Cen Sanniang couldn't sit still.This kind of sitting with a straight back and half of the chair can't lean on or move, it's too uncomfortable.She glanced at Du Yansui quietly, seeing that he was sitting upright, she felt distressed in her heart, this sitting skill cannot be practiced in a short while.She wanted to stand up and stretch now.

Du Yansui waved to a palace maid with a smile.Waiting for her to come closer, he said softly, "Please lead my wife to change clothes."

In ancient times, changing clothes was going to the toilet, just like saying I am going to the bathroom now is more elegant than saying that I am going to the toilet to pee.

Cen Sanniang glanced at him gratefully.She couldn't sit still anymore, so she just took a few steps.

The palace maid then bowed to Cen Sanniang and said, "Madam, please come with the maidservant."

Cen Sanniang stood up, took two steps, and looked back at Du Yansui.

"Go and come back quickly, so as not to miss the emperor's summons." When Du Yansui said this, he stared at the palace maid casually.

There was a slight warning in his tone.Du Yansui walked in the palace, no more than some foreign ministers.With the position of General Qianniuwei, foreign ministers dare to provoke him, but the servants and servants in the palace cannot afford to provoke him.Cen Sanniang felt relieved.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the servant girl who led Cen Sanniang with a kind smile on her face, even took the initiative to explain to her when she left the side hall: "If there is nothing serious, it will be over in the early morning. There is still half an hour, Madam, don't worry .”

Early morning 07:30 to end around ten o'clock.The ministers live far away, and they have to get up at Yinshi.Get up at three o'clock.At about seven o'clock, they entered the palace and waited for the emperor to come.Cen Sanniang lamented that it was not easy to be an official in ancient times.

After she went to the toilet, she cleaned her hands.He was led back by the palace maid again.After slipping around the corner, Cen Sanniang felt much more comfortable.Seeing that the Penglai Palace was just around the corner, a voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Sister, stay!"

The maidservant stopped, Cen Sanniang also turned her head when she heard the sound.I saw a servant come over with a smile, and rolled his eyes on Cen Sanniang: "Is this General Du's wife who entered the palace today to thank you?"

The palace maid stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen Mr. Cheng, and the little maid is leading Mrs. Du to wait for her."

Eunuch Cheng laughed and said, "Mrs. Zhaoyi summoned Mrs. Du, you can go back to General Du."

Cen Sanniang was shocked.She was extremely unwilling to leave Du Yansui's side to see Mrs. Zhaoyi, not even Cen Wuniang.Du Yansui was walking in the palace, and the concubine was eager to have a relationship with him.But from my own point of view, in order to avoid taboos, it is best for foreign ministers not to get involved with the concubine.Seeing that the maid in the palace was lower than this servant, she didn't dare to disobey her orders, she couldn't help herself, so she had no choice but to go forward and salute: "The lady thank you for your favor, Your Majesty, and the couple will go to pay their respects to the lady."

Accompanied by Du Yansui, the emperor knew about it.It's better than being taken away silently.

The smile on Eunuch Cheng's face disappeared, his voice was sharp and indifferent, and he said mockingly, "Madam Du means to let the empress condescend to wait?"

"The women don't dare. I just entered the palace today to thank you, and I didn't dare to let the emperor wait for a long time. That's why I want to thank the gods before going to pay my respects to the empress." The dead eunuch actually wanted to dig a hole for himself to jump in!Cen Sanniang's expression became more respectful.Du Yansui is from the third-rank general, and she is from the third-rank general's wife, you dead eunuch!No matter how noble your mother is, she is also the emperor's concubine, okay?She cursed inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Eunuch Cheng didn't like this at all, and directly ordered the palace maid: "Your Majesty has ordered, she has a relationship with Mrs. Du, so I will pick her up first. When the emperor sees General Du, please move."

"Yes." The palace maid respectfully responded, then turned around and blessed Cen Sanniang again, "Madam Du, go with Eunuch Cheng, and the maid will tell General Du."

The meaning of the words is to make her feel at ease.Du Yansui will know her whereabouts.

Cen Sanniang had no choice but to follow Eunuch Cheng.

"Hmph, our family won't eat you! No matter how many people want to enter Zhaoyuan Palace, they are not so lucky." Mr. Cheng muttered, leading Cen Sanniang away from Penglai Palace, and turned into the corridor next to it.

The matter has come to this point, and it is impossible to offend a servant.Cen Sanniang smiled apologetically, took out a purse she had prepared in her sleeve, and stuffed it into Eunuch Cheng's hands without any fuss: "This is the first time this concubine enters the palace. To blame."

Eunuch Cheng thought about it in his hands, quickly filled with smiles, and said in a sharp voice: "Our family knows that Mrs. Du is just worried that she will miss the emperor's summons. Mrs. Du doesn't know that, in this palace, the emperor loves Zhao the most. Niang Niang, General Du is deeply favored by the emperor, Madam can rest assured."

Could it be that because she is the wife of a favored minister, the most favored empress Zhaoyi specially summoned her to show her affection?Cen Sanniang thought about it, and then asked in a low voice: "Please give me some advice from my father-in-law, so that I won't bump into my empress."

Eunuch Cheng smiled reservedly: "My mother hates others to lie to her the most. If the mother asks questions, Madam must tell the truth."

It's like saying nothing.How can some things be said truthfully?Seeing that she couldn't find out why, Cen Sanniang had to pull herself together.

Zhaoyuan Palace was not far from Penglai Hall. Hearing the sound of Zhaoyuan, Cen Sanniang turned her head and could still see the high cornices of Penglai Hall bathed in the rising sun.Du Yansui knew that there was something wrong with him coming here, so he would definitely find a way.Cen Sanniang secretly told herself not to be afraid, took a deep breath and walked in.

The hall is spacious, and from a distance, a gorgeously dressed woman can be seen sitting on the phoenix seat in the middle.Cen Sanniang lowered her head halfway, and saw a maid laying a cushion on the ground.It was about two feet away from Fengzuo, so I knew it would stop there.She walked over, knelt down and kowtowed: "The peasant woman has seen Lady Zhaoyi."

Zhaoyi didn't tell her to get up, she could only kneel down with her head down.She heard the rustling of fabric, saw the dark purple skirt, and then lifted her chin with a cold finger.

Cen Sanniang was forced to raise her head, her pupils dilated suddenly, and she recognized Princess Teng.There was a buzzing in her head, and she swallowed nervously.

Concubine Teng was in front of her eyes, but Cen Sanniang saw Prince Teng in her eyes.

King Teng is as lonely as an iceberg when it is cold.When angry, it is like a blizzard, unpredictable and full of hostility.

The past quickly passed from Cen Sanniang's mind.In the past few years when she knew King Teng, Cen Sanniang did not have the impression that he was happy.She looked at Zhaoyi, feeling sad for King Teng.

Zhaoyi let go of her hand, and looked down at Cen Sanniang with a half-smile: "I heard from Beauty Cen that there are beauties in the Cen family, especially the side concubine that King Teng invited to seal is the most beautiful. I think she is wrong, Madam Du is a combination of all kinds of charms." .”

"Niang Niang praises you." Cen Sanniang finally came to her senses when she heard her own voice.At this moment, she really hated Du Yansui.Why didn't you tell her in advance?It will scare people to death, okay?She comforted herself wickedly, even though Du Yansui was working as a bodyguard, the emperor went to the Cuihua Mountain Laojun Nunnery to meet Princess Teng privately, maybe he would also be so frightened that his legs would go weak when he was escorting him outside.

King Teng's green hat is so calm and clear, can he really bear it?Isn't he the emperor's uncle?The emperor has only been on the throne for a year or two, and if he wants to make a scene, the emperor would be ashamed?Did King Teng do it willingly?Cen Sanniang felt another chill in her heart.
