The sky is gradually brightening, but the city of Tokyo has never fallen asleep. The bustling night has perfectly connected with the vitality after sunrise.
Xuan Chengzi and Jingzhen were already in admiration on the bullock cart. Facing the rising sun, the young man walked out of the gate of Shangqing Palace. The rising sun shone on him, highlighting an indescribable beauty.
Ye An pulled the leather belt around his waist and looked at the green official uniform he was wearing. It was far worse than the purple uniform Luo Shang that Xuanchengzi wore.
Jingzhen, who was sitting on the oxcart, smiled slightly and said, "Junior brother, this official uniform fits perfectly and tightly on the body. The heroic spirit of the young man is soaring!"
Ye An was a little jealous when he saw the scarlet clothes on Xuan Chengzi and Jingzhen. These two people were dressed festively, but when they came to him, they were "green", like a toad, which was really not decent.
Xuan Chengzi said with an ugly face: "I said that I would enter the palace today to attend the Shuowang Dynasty meeting, but why is it still unruly?! The imperial court uses red court clothes as a courtesy, how come you are here wearing official clothes?!"
Ye An was slightly startled. Did he wear the wrong one? Impossible! Wang Gang and Tieniu had gone to great lengths to put this outfit on for him. It seemed like he couldn't do it without Xuan'er!
"Master, this is the only thing that should be placed in the disciple's room, nothing else!"
Xuan Chengzi's old face darkened: "Hu Yi! Miaozhen obviously sent it to you yesterday, how come you only have this one?!"
So all the Taoist priests in the Shangqing Palace began to get busy, and they were frantically looking for Ye An's lost "court robe".
But as time goes by, there is still no trace. Losing the imperial uniform is not a trivial matter. As for Ye An attending the Zhengshuo Great Court Meeting without the imperial uniform, although it is possible, he will definitely be impeached by the imperial censor, and at least he will be punished with a copper fine.
.
Miaozhen had begun to cry loudly. He thought it was due to his own negligence, but Wang Bang and Tieniu comforted him in a low voice, saying that as long as he was in the Shangqing Palace, he would not lose it.
Jingzhen came to Jingwu and scolded him for not paying attention to his junior brother's things, but Ye An felt that something was unusual. In Miaozhen's words, he brought a whole pile of clothes to his room.
However, the official uniform placed at the top was not lost, and the Confucian uniform placed at the bottom was not lost, but the court uniform placed in the middle was missing.
Court clothes are not ordinary clothes, no one dares to touch them casually.
Wear a red robe on the top and tie a red skirt on the bottom, a crimson robe and skirt, lined with a white flower luo midriff, tied with a large belt, and then tied with a leather belt to cover the knees, with a square heart-shaped collar.
No one would be mistaken. After all, there are precious ornaments, jade swords, jade pendants, brocade ribbons, white silk stockings and black leather shoes. The most important thing is that even the Jinxian crown lying aside is missing!
Obviously, this was purposeful in stealing his own court clothes, in order to make himself look embarrassed. Apart from anything else, at the Zhengshuo Palace Meeting, all the monarchs and ministers in the palace exposed Zhu Hong, and only he was a green "toad" among them.
Too eye-catching!!
This was done specifically to steal court clothes to make himself look embarrassed. Ye An decisively excluded people related to Shangqing Palace: "Master, this should be done by outsiders and has nothing to do with us people from Shangqing Palace. Master must not be implicated."
Brother or someone else."
"What you said is light and tight. How about now? Are you really planning to wear this fifth-grade green uniform to the Daqing Palace to attend the imperial court? You don't know how powerful the censor is!"
Jingzhen was sweating profusely and anxious. If Ye An wore this fifth-grade official uniform to attend the Zhengshuo Dynasty, he would definitely be ridiculed.
Good things never go out, but bad deeds travel thousands of miles. Those censors in the palace who value etiquette more important than life, see Ye An who "stands out from the crowd", why don't they bite off a piece of his flesh from this fledgling officialdom?
During this period, rumors about this boy were abuzz in the court. Some expressed dissatisfaction with him being granted literary qualifications, some strongly opposed his appointment as a bachelor, and some even threatened to go to the officials and saints to punish Ye An. Here’s to the auspicious ones!
If Ye An goes to Daqing Palace without wearing court clothes today, Jing Zhen will feel scared just thinking about it...
So he decisively pulled Ye An to the back of the car and prepared to give his court uniform to Ye An. Anyway, there was almost no difference in class among the court uniforms at such a big court meeting, so he should be able to get away with it.
Ye An stared blankly at Jingzhen who was "undressing and taking off her belt" and quickly grabbed him and said, "Senior brother, what are you doing?"
Jingzhen untied the leather belt around her waist and said with a wry smile: "What else can I do? Senior brother will not go to the meeting today. You are much more important than senior brother today. You must not make any mistakes!"
Unexpectedly, Jingzhen would have such a spirit of sacrifice at the critical moment. Ye An quickly stopped him: "We haven't reached that point yet. Even if I don't wear court clothes, I still have clothes to wear. I can wear the master's purple clothes and inherit the master's mantle. Is it possible?" Can’t wear it?”
Jingzhen was slightly startled, and Xuan Chengzi beside him smiled and said: "I can wear it, but you are wearing purple clothes like this, isn't it a little too showy?"
Ye An smiled and shook his head and said: "That's because I attach great importance to the saint's summons! The saint sent me to be a civil servant with a Jinshi background. I already had a grudge. If I wore the same court clothes as them and went to the Daqing Hall to attend the court, I would be unhappy. , if I go there wearing the master's purple clothes, it will be a thing of the past."
Xuan Chengzi let out a long sigh: "It seems that you have provoked a certain powerful person again. Things in the Qian family have not been settled for a while, and now you are going to cause trouble again! You'd better find out who wants to harm you first!"
What Xuan Chengzi said was correct, but Ye Anshi didn't know who he had offended.
He sighed and said: "Alas... Ye An really doesn't know who he has offended. How could someone sneak into the Shangqing Palace? Now... now he wants to find out who is doing such a shameful thing behind his back. Come!"
Seeing Ye An looking at him, Xuan Chengzi shook his head with a smile and whispered: "A saint will not torture you in such an unflattering way. Don't have such thoughts in the future!"
Ye An himself felt something was wrong and smiled awkwardly: "That's what the master said!"
Putting on the purple robe and Luo Shang, and tying up his long hair with a jade lotus crown, Ye An's appearance immediately changed from a fledgling Confucian scholar to a comely Taoist priest.
Confucianism and Taoism do not differentiate between schools. Confucianism has a great degree of identity with Taoism, so there will be no problem with Ye An's dress. Even if the imperial censor wants to criticize Ye An harshly, at most it will be to impeach him for not knowing the rules.
As for Ye An, a low-paid official who had just obtained his official status, no one would care about such harsh criticism and would just laugh it off.
The bullock cart slowly headed towards the palace. Sitting on the bullock cart, Ye An kept thinking about who else besides the Qian family he had offended in Tokyo. From the beginning, Ye An ruled out the possibility of the Qian family being a culprit.
From Xuan Chengzi, he already knew that the Qian family did not intend to tangle with him, a fledgling "little guy", because Qian Weiyan was in bigger trouble now, and it was better to have less trouble than more trouble in Tokyo.
But not only have the incidents against him not decreased recently, then who could be attacking him secretly?
Ye An was puzzled and could only look for a breakthrough from other places. Maybe it was not to deal with himself, but to deal with the people around him, such as Xuan Chengzi!
Thinking that someone actually stole something from him, Ye An felt angry.
