Ming Xixi opened the door and walked out: "Xi'er wants dad to take out the title deed of this other courtyard and change it to Xi'er's name."
Hua'er said lovingly: "Miss Fifth, you shouldn't make me angry today."
"He was the one who made Xi'er angry and sad in the first place." Ming Xixi pouted, looking unhappy, "Why does the emperor want to see Xi'er? Xi'er doesn't know him."
Hua'er comforted her and said, "Don't be angry, Miss Fifth. The master didn't let us live in the mansion, and he also arranged this house for us to live in so that we won't have to live outside. I wonder if the master will send a carriage to pick up Miss Fifth into the city tomorrow morning?"
"
"Xi'er doesn't want to go see them." She's not interested in the emperor. She hasn't forgotten that the three princes broke their promises after winning a big victory last time. From this, she concluded that the people in the royal family are all deadbeats--
Not trustworthy.
"Fifth Miss, being able to see the Emperor is a big deal. People like us will never be able to see those royal relatives and nobles in our lives, let alone the Emperor."
"Sister Hua'er, do you really want to see the emperor?" Ming Xixi asked.
Hua'er sighed slightly and said: "How noble the emperor is, how can it be seen by people like us?"
Ming Xixi tilted her little head and thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Okay, Xi'er listens to Sister Hua'er and goes to see the emperor tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Ming Wanjin sent a carriage to take Ming Xixi into the city to meet the saint.
After Ming Wanjin went to court, he went home and changed into casual clothes, and was already waiting in front of the palace gate. He got on the carriage, entered the palace, and continued walking forward. The father and daughter remained silent on the carriage, facing each other in silence until the carriage.
Stopping at the entrance of a thoroughfare, Ming Wanjin said: "Xi'er, when you meet the emperor, you must not make any mistakes. You must be polite in your words and deeds. Remember?"
Ming Xixi nodded silently, keeping her mouth closed but not speaking. Ming Wanjin sighed inwardly and reached out to take her out of the car, but she pushed her away, raised the curtain and jumped down. Two eunuchs came in front, Ming Wanjin
Jin stepped forward and clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you, Eunuch Gui. My daughter is young, so please bear with me if there are any gains or losses."
Eunuch Gui lowered his head and looked at the little man, a little doll carved in pink and jade. He smiled and said, "My dear friend, Ming You, is serious. Isn't your daughter Ling very cute?"
Another eunuch came forward and said: "Ming Youxiang, please go with the Sa family to the Junsheng Hall to wait."
Ming Xixi thought that the emperor's summons would be in a solemn and solemn hall, but she didn't know that she was being led by this fat eunuch named Gui Eunuch. They walked a long way without any intention of stopping. She rolled her eyes and said,
She suddenly stopped, squatted on the ground and shouted: "Eunuch Gui, Xi'er is tired and can't walk anymore."
Eunuch Gui turned around and saw the little man squatting on the ground, frowning and complaining of tiredness. He hurriedly said: "Keep on holding on for a while, we'll be there soon."
Ming Xixi shook her head, looked at him pitifully and said, "Eunuch Gui, can you take Xi'er away?"
"This..." Eunuch Gui is in a dilemma. He still has a long way to go. He will be tired if he is asked to carry a child. But it is not easy to find a sedan now. He is still hesitating.
, the little man had come over and tugged at the hem of his clothes, raising his delicate little face and looking at him pleadingly: "Eunuch Gui, Xi'er wants to hug you."
Suddenly a big crow flew over Eunuch Gui's head. Helpless, he picked up Ming Xixi and continued walking forward.
Ming Xixi felt secretly happy in her heart. She circled her neck with her little hands and said sweetly: "Eunuch Gui, you are a good person."
This voice is two points sweeter and softer than before, and it is very useful. Eunuch Gui said with a smile: "Miss Mingwu deserves the award. The Sa family has been a good person since they were young."
"Well, Eunuch Gui is very kind, and Xi'er likes Eunuch Gui." Ming Xixi said innocently. Eunuch Gui laughed. Children are simpler and more transparent than boiled water. "Miss Mingwu, when she met the emperor, she also
Please Miss Ming Wu, please say a few kind words for the Sa family in front of the Emperor."
"Well, okay. Eunuch Gui, is the emperor fierce?" Ming Xixi asked curiously. Eunuch Gui said: "The emperor is wise, powerful, and a wise king."
"Then...does the emperor keep his word?" Ming Xixi asked again, thinking carefully. Mr. Gui said: "The emperor has the body of a real dragon, so of course he can keep his word."
When they arrived at the corner of the imperial garden, Eunuch Gui was already out of breath. His little body was not heavy, and his hands felt heavy after being hugged for a long time. He was tired. Ming Xixi didn’t care. When he walked past a place, he caught a glimpse of the high rockery.
She suddenly remembered that banquet, where she met two new friends, and the scene of peeking into other people's privacy was still vivid in her mind.
Suddenly I heard Eunuch Gui breathe a sigh of relief and say, "It's just ahead."
Ming Xixi looked around and saw an octagonal exquisite pavilion located in the center of the lake, with a winding corridor on the water. The lake was clear and green, with ripples in the wind and ripples of light. The beautiful scenery around the lakeshore was unobstructed.
"Miss Ming Wu, please wait here for a moment and don't go away. The Emperor will be here shortly. The Sa family will leave first." Eunuch Gui put her down and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat from his face. Ming Xixi nodded obediently and said:
"Eunuch Gui, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's what the Sa family should do." After speaking, Eunuch Gui turned and left.
Ming Xixi raised her head and looked at this large pavilion. The eaves and corners are exquisitely built, and the color is bright. It is set against the bright yellow glazed tile roof. Under the rising sun, it reflects the beautiful and confusing light. The inner corners and upper beams of the pavilion are all painted.
There are patterns of auspicious clouds and lotus flowers. Three characters are engraved on the pavilion: Piaoxiang Pavilion. A poetic couplet hangs on the left and right. The upper couplet is: Lotus flowers on four sides and willows on three sides. The lower couplet is: One city is surrounded by mountains and half is a lake.
Looking around the lake, we can see that there are lotuses planted on all sides and green willows fluttering on the banks on three sides. What’s even better is that one side of the lake is next to high green hills. From a distance, it looks like a small mountain peak. This scenery
, which corresponds to what is described in the couplet one by one.
The winding corridors are all made of white marble, lined with the emerald green lake surface, and still look fresh and beautiful. However, it is not the season, the lotus leaves are green, and the lotus flowers have not appeared.
Ming Xixi was lying on the railing, thinking to herself: Why did the emperor summon her as a little baby? Why couldn't the father also summon her? She also thought that when she met the emperor, she would ask for some delicious food from the emperor anyway. If the emperor
She was so talkative that she asked for all the delicacies the three princes owed her.
She was thinking happily, waiting, but no one came for a while. She saw the sun rising higher and higher, and she became a little impatient. What kind of airs was this emperor putting on? She ran out of the Piaoxiang Pavilion and reached the shore through the winding corridor.
I looked around aimlessly, and it was strange that I didn't see a single palace maid or eunuch.
Just when she was about to continue walking inside, she suddenly heard the sound of someone coming, and there were many footsteps, and it seemed that there were more than four or five people.
