Chapter 140 East Palace
Chapter 40
Liu Jin had already seen Song Nan and his party, but pretended not to see it. When Song Nan greeted him from afar, Liu Jin turned around and smiled and said, "Song Qianhu, oh, by the way, it's time to ask Song Shi to read. His Royal Highness has ordered our family to wait here for a long time."
Song Nan smiled and said, "It's hard. The road is far and the snow is slippery and I dare not go fast. I have been waiting for a long time."
Liu Jin laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Our family will take you to the palace, otherwise I'm afraid Zhao will never let you in."
The officer behind Liu Jin smiled and said, "What did Grandpa Liu say, but do you dare not let him go?"
Liu Jin also laughed and said, "It's just a joke. This Song Shidu is the person requested by His Royal Highness, and I have to come out to welcome him. I can always see his appearance clearly. There will be many times he will enter the palace in the future. Although Zhan Shifu will give him a waist card, it is inevitable that it will be troublesome to test the waist card next time. Come on, you two Close."
Song Nan smiled and arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhao is good. Song Nan, please take care of me in the future."
Mr. Zhao arched his hand and smiled, "Well, I have known the name of Song Qianhu for a long time, but I didn't expect that Lord Song, a talented man, was originally a young man, but it was a little surprising."
Song Nan was a little surprised, but saw Zhao come up and whispered, "I dare to fight with the fan of Dongchang. This bold brother is extremely admirable."
Song Nan smiled and didn't want to say anything more about this matter. She just laughed perfunctorily.
Song Nan followed Liu Jin into the imperial city and looked around. She unconsciously sighed at the magnificence of the imperial city, but she saw that the palaces were tall and rows, the red walls and yellow tiles were high, and the corridors were crowded with flowers and trees.
Seeing Song Nan in a daze, Liu Jin smiled and said, "Your Highness lives in the Wenhua Hall. In the palace, go straight along this avenue."
Song Nan nodded and caught a glimpse of several guys wearing pointed crowns and white-rimmed boots, wearing wide brocade robes and wearing small silks, and unconsciously slowed down.
Liu Jin whispered, "Don't be in too much trouble. This is for the people to go out of the palace."
Song Nan whispered, "Is the east factory near on the left?"
Liu Jin pointed to the north and said, "To the north along the inner city river, it is adjacent to the dining room of Guanglu Temple. Go quickly, Fan Heng is here."
Song Nan peeked and saw dozens of Fan Heng, who was surrounded by fat and wearing a black cloak, on the road along the river in the north. Liu Jin accelerated his pace and pulled Song Nan to the suspension bridge of Donghuamen. The palace guards of Donghuamen all knew Liu Jin and greeted him one after another. Liu Jin closed her mouth and lit up her waist card. Pull Song Nan straight into the palace.
Fan Heng also had to go to the palace to do business. The group followed Liu Jin and Song Nan to the outside of Donghua Gate. Looking at the backs of the two people in front of them, they were a little familiar, so they asked the general of the imperial army guarding the gate, "Who are the two people in front?"
The goalkeeper hurriedly said, "Master Fan, that's the Duke Liu of Wenhua Hall. He is followed by the one who seems to be Song Nan, but he is very eye-catching."
Fan Heng's face was gloomy and muttered, "Song Nan... This boy has sneaked into the East Palace."
......
As soon as Donghua Gate entered, after passing the Tongji Library and a stream in the palace, you can see the Wenhua Hall standing in the northwest. The top of the high hall protruding from the top of the green trees. The red glazed tiles on the flying eaves are extremely eye-catching. Liu Jin became obviously active and pointed out the surrounding exquisite introduction to Song Nan.
The sound gradually faded away, but the curtain of the side hall was lifted. This time it was Zhang Yong who came in. Song Nan quickly stood up and arched his hand and said, "Good luck, Grandpa Zhang."
Zhang Yong waved his hand with a smile and said, "Song Shi is good at reading. Is his body good?"
Song Nan knew that when he was poisoned that day, Zhang Yong brought a doctor to detoxify him. He had a good impression on him and said with a smile, "Mr. Lao is worried and has recovered. Thank you for your help last time, otherwise I will have met Lord Yan."
Zhang Yong smiled and said, "What's the matter? Helping others is helping yourself. didn't Song Shidu also help us? It's boring for us to thank you so much. We will be together in the future. Let's talk about it slowly if you have something to say. Come with me now. His Royal Highness is waiting to see you in the study.
Song Nan followed Zhang Yong out of the door and walked back. Through a corridor, she saw several eunuch maids standing outside a room. Zhang Yong stood at the door and said loudly, "Your Highness, Song Shidu is here."
The prince said in the house, "Please."
As soon as Zhang Yong lifted the curtain, Song Nan stepped in and saw Zhu Houzhao wearing a thick brocade robe like a doll standing by the desk and looking at the door. He hurried forward and saluted, "Song Nan has seen His Royal Highness."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and walked around the table to Song Nan and said, "Don't be polite, Song Nan, let's meet again."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for your help. How can Song Nan..."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Don't say that. I will naturally repay others for helping me. The last time I heard that you were poisoned and almost died, I knew that it was because someone wanted to retaliate against you on that day. Unfortunately, the imperial doctor brought by Xiaoyongzi is useless, but you are also very good, and it is God's will to survive this level. After thinking about it, I still need to give you an official. Well, my father will give you an official. Don't think it's too small. I can only do this.
Song Nan smiled and said, "It's a matter that Song Nan wants to serve beside the prince. How can he think it's small? By the way, I brought a few roast ducks. Can His Royal Highness try it?"
Zhu Houzhao said happily, "Try it. Of course you want to try it. Bring it up quickly. I haven't eaten it for many days. I'm drooling at the thought of that smell."
Song Nan smiled, and the things he carried were brought by the little eunuch. Song Nan opened the food box, and the duck inside was still warm. Zhu Houzhao pulled open the paper inkstone and other things on the desk and said, "Just eat here and put it on the bookcase."
Song Nan rolled her eyes and had to put the food box on. The little eunuchs quickly ran to get the dishes. Song Nan roasted the duck skin with this charcoal fire and set up a roast duck banquet on the prince's desk.
Zhu Houzhao's mouth was full of oily praise. A duck quickly got into his stomach and was waiting to eat again. Zhang Yong hurriedly said, "Your Highness, it's not beautiful to eat too much at a time. Anyway, Song Shidu can often go to the palace. Let's take it easy."
Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "It's not too much. That's right. Song Nan, you have to bring this delicious food when you come to the palace in the future."
Song Nan nodded and agreed. Looking at the mess on the desk, he couldn't help thinking that if the emperor knew that the first thing he had done when he came to the palace was to let the prince ruin this expensive Nanmu desk, he didn't know what to do.
