Chapter 191 Luoyan Tower
Nangong Miyin said, "What do you think? The palace is not a place where you can come and go if you want!"
"It's Miss!" Xiao Cui answered helplessly and immediately laughed. I didn't expect that as a maidservant, I asked the young lady to persuade me.
So Xiao Cui lowered her head and wanted to find something to do to distract her energy, but Xiao Cui obviously forgot, where is this place? That's the palace. Every grass and tree here has been cleaned by the palace ladies and eunuchs inch by inch.
Where the emperor lives, no one dares to slack off at all. Because of a small mistake, it may make the emperor furious. At that time, the board was light. If it was serious, it might be a beheading. No one wanted to lose their head because of a little dust.
So Xiao Cui wandered around the house for a long time before she found that she didn't have to do anything. Others have cleaned up very well. So I could only stick out my tongue and say, "Miss, this is not a slave's laziness. There is really no class to clean up!"
Nangong Miyin took a look at Xiao Cui and said with a smile, "Ok, you can also experience the feeling of being a young lady here and ask them to arrange a place for you. I want to think about something!"
"Yes! Miss!" Xiao Cui agreed and turned out of the room. I haven't closed the door of the room yet.
"What's the problem?" After Xiao Cui left, Nangong Miyin said thoughtfully. She recalled all the bits and pieces that she met with Guan Yunba today.
But I still can't find it. Whether it's Yu Yaobai's attitude or Shangguan Yunba's performance, it's too strange.
Yu Yaobai has always been cold to himself, but today he seems a little humble everywhere. This is obviously a little overpretentious, but obviously Shangguan Yunba and others did not see it.
This shows that the high priest usually has this kind of gentle personality in the eyes of others. So other people will not be surprised by Yu Yaobai's performance today.
The second is that Shangguan Yunba seems to really think that he is the goddess who has fallen from heaven, which is also a very intriguing thing. After all, Nangong Miyin's identity as the goddess is completely spread by word of mouth by the exiles at the beginning, but he didn't expect that it would spread more and more widely in the end.
But after all, rumors are just rumors. It's okay to spread among ordinary people. If the power of the country enters the inquiry, it will definitely be exposed immediately. But Shangguan Yunba actually believed it so simply.
And because of this incident, Shangguan Yunba is not interested in himself, but in his identity.
My current identity is the goddess who came down from heaven. What on earth does Shangguan Yunba want to get from himself? What role does Yu Yaobai play in it? Without enough clues, even if Nangong Miin is smarter, she can't think of a reason.
"The emperor is here!" While Nangong Miin was puzzled, a sound of eunuch's notification came.
When Shangguan Miyin heard the words, he immediately tidied up his clothes and went out to meet Shangguan Yunba. After all, Shangguan Yunba is also an emperor, and Nangong Miyin doesn't want to be too rude.
But as soon as he walked out of the door, Nangong Miyin's face was stiff, because Shangguan Yunba was already sitting in the living room of Luoyan Tower.
At this time, Shangguan Yunba has changed into a dragon robe and wears an ordinary robe. Of course, it is ordinary, of course, compared with the dragon robe. Compared with ordinary people, Shangguan Yunba's clothes can still be described as gorgeous at this time.
Purple gold-rimmed gown, Youlong broken jade blue and white belt, and a pair of black dragon scale boots on the feet. The purple and gold crown on his head is shining, dressed like this. Shangguan Yunba looks much younger.
And it seemed that something happy happened, and a rare smile appeared on Shangguan Yunba's face. Now his face is radiant, and his whole body seems to be bright.
However, Nangong Miyin didn't seem to see him like this, but said coldly, "Your Majesty! Although the people's daughter now lives in your majesty's place, after all, this place is now the place where the people's women stay. I'm afraid it's not good for your majesty to enter without permission?
When Shangguan Yunba heard the words, his face was stiff. His hands that were about to get the teacup were in mid-air. It was not embarrassing to enter or retreat, although he was angry. The king of her own country put down her figure to see her first, but instead of being anointing her, she embarrassed herself at the beginning. But he didn't dare to show any expression on his face.
So I could only apologize with a wry smile, "This is my negligence. I apologize!"
"People's women don't dare, but after all, this is still the boudoir of people's women for the time being. It's really inappropriate for Your Majesty to go in and out without permission. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Nangong Miyan said with a smile, as if the dissatisfaction had never appeared on her face.
"Ha ha, the goddess doesn't need to be so polite. I'm just an ordinary person." Shangguan Yunba said with a smile.
"I don't know what your Majesty is doing?" Nangong Miyin Qidao. Anyway, Shangguan Yunba is also an emperor. Naturally, she will call herself if something happens. She never thought that Shangguan Yunba would come to see her at all.
"I'm just here to visit the goddess. I don't know if the goddess is still used to living in the palace?" Shangguan Yunba asked with nothing to say.
"..." Nangong Miyin was speechless when she heard the words. She had just come here for less than an hour, right? Even if there is something you are not used to, you can't see it in such a short time, right?
What Nangong Miyin hates most is to talk in circles, so she asked bluntly, "Your Majesty, you can say it directly. If there is anything you need for women, as long as it does not involve the issue of principle, I can do it for your majesty."
"This! I want to ask, is marriage allowed in the fairyland? Shangguan Yunba asked.
"...can!" Nangong Miyin replied dryly, did this emperor come to chat with him today? How can you say something inexplicable?
"I don't know if you already have a person you like?" Shangguan Yunba asked curiously. However, I am still a little nervous. After all, it is related to his elixir. It's about to be immortal. It's false to say that you're not nervous.
"Your Majesty doesn't bother with this question, does it?" Nangong Miyin's face darkened and said unhappily.
"Goddess, don't get me wrong. I'm just curious about the heavenly world. I don't mean to interfere with the goddess at all. I'm just curious. The appearance and character of a goddess. Is there anyone who deserves it?" Shangguan Yunba's flattery is naked. It's hard to imagine that an emperor would flatter a woman so much.
"Well, not yet!" When talking about this, Nangong Miyin couldn't help but feel a little guilty, because at this time, Xuanyuan Qianjue's figure flashed in Nangong Miin's mind. Although Nangong Miyin has not figured out what kind of feelings she has for Xuanyuan Qianjue, she can't help but feel a little lack of confidence when saying this.
Shangguan Yunba naturally recognized the meaning of Nangong Mi's words and understood that Nangong Miyin actually had a favorite person, but the relationship between the two was not deep. He is worthy of being an emperor, and he has a good grasp of the loopholes in the language. So he said excitedly, "In that case, the goddess doesn't have the right person yet?"
"Yes!" Nangong Miin saw Shangguan Yunba, who suddenly excited you, and suddenly showed a bad feeling in her heart.
"I don't know what do you think of Fengchu?" Shangguan Yunba looked at Nangong Miyin with burning eyes and asked.
"This one?" In the face of Shangguan Yunba's aggressive eyes, Nangong Miyin's indescribable disgust was that Shangguan Yunba did not govern his country well. To benefit his own people, he now spends his mind on himself. If I hadn't thought of Shangguan Yunjin, Nangong Miyin would have wanted to leave immediately.
"With the governance of His Majesty, Fengchu is also a prosperous country and the people are safe!" Nangong Miin had to say a compliment against her will.
Seeing this, Shangguan Yunba asked step by step, "Does the goddess plan to live in my Fengchu?"
"This is not available for the time being!" What Nangong Miyin said was the truth. For Fengchu, she had no sense of belonging in the first place. She came here purely to help Shangguan Yunjin. Once she understood the matter, she would leave. The sky is high and the birds are flying. Nangong Miyin also wants to see the scenery on the Qingxuan Continent.
"I don't know what the goddess thinks of me?" Shangguan Yunba became more and more straightforward.
Although Nangong Miyin is disgusted, she has to deal with some things. So Nangong Miyin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise and righteous. It is the time when the people strive to govern. The people believe that the State of Fengchu will get better and better under the governance of your majesty!"
"Haha, the goddess praised it!" When Nangong Miyin said this, Shangguan Yunba's old face smiled and hurriedly humbled. Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Nangong Miyin thought in her heart, "You old man, how dare you think of me. It seems that I can't even deal with you!"
"In the evening, I'm going to hold a banquet for the goddess. I don't know if it's convenient for the goddess?" Shangguan Yunba said with a smile.
"It's all up to your majesty!" Now that he has arrived at other people's territory, Nangong Miyan naturally can't refute other people's face. Although he knew that Shangguan Yunba was probably malicious, Nangong Miyin also wanted to know what kind of conspiracy this man was playing.
If you want to target yourself, this circle is too big. However, if it hadn't been for her, Nangong Miyin Xuanwang's inspiration would have told her that there was a big conspiracy hanging over her.
"In this case, I won't disturb the goddess's rest!" As it was said, Shangguan Yunba got up and said goodbye.
In the eunuch's sharp "Your Majesty!" In his voice, Nangong Miin sent away this Shangguan Yunba, who didn't know what it meant, with some thought in her heart.
"Miss, is the emperor interested in you?" After Shangguan Yunba left, Xiao Cui walked to Nangong Miyin, looked around, carefully put her mouth in Nangong Miyin's ear, and asked softly.
"You little girl, do you also want to marry into the palace?" Nangong Miyin laughed.
"Miss, I don't want to. This palace is really not a place for us ordinary people to stay. I want to leave the palace now. There is a feeling that people can't breathe here. I don't want the young lady to marry the emperor!"
"Oh?" What are you thinking again? Nangong Miyin asked curiously. Thinking that she is a maidservant, she will probably say that she doesn't know where she heard the rumors and what storytelling jokes are alive.
"I heard that the palace is very chaotic. Each of those concubines and nobles wants to get the favor of the emperor, wants to be the queen, and also wants his son to be the prince, and inherit the throne in the future. Therefore, in this harem can be used by any means to compete for favor!" Xiao Cui opened her big black-and-white eyes and said seriously.
"Do you know again?" Nangong Miyin laughed. Sure enough, Xiao Cui probably didn't know where to hear the story storytelling.
"Yes, the eldest cousin of my second uncle, the daughter of the family was selected into the palace in the draft the year before last, but later I heard that she died. I don't know how he died. The palace only said that he died of illness. Later, I heard that it turned out that there were two concubines in the palace who competed for favor. One concubine instructed someone to poison the other concubine to death, and then blamed her. Originally, it was to implicate the family. After all, is it such a big thing as poisoning the concubine? However, it was later investigated and found out. So that's it!" Xiao Cui said worriedly, as if Nangong Miyin was about to marry the emperor.
"I didn't expect it to be a rumor, but although the following things are rumors, there should have been similar things in the palace, right?" Nangong Miyin thought.
Then he said to Xiao Cui, "Don't worry, I'm not interested in being a queen or anything!"
"Then I'm relieved, miss!" Xiao Cui was greatly relieved to hear this. She just said that, on the one hand, it was for her daughter, and on the other hand, it was also for herself. She didn't want to stay in this palace courtyard. It was really too depressing. Xiao Cui just stayed here for a long time, and she felt like she was about to be driven crazy.
If you live here every day, as long as you think about it, Xiao Cui feels like hell, and I don't know why so many people in the world have sharpened their heads and drilled into it.
The afternoon passed quickly, and it was time for the dinner. Eunuch Li came to pick up Nangong Miyin in person. Although Nangong Miyin also wanted to take Xiao Cui with him, Eunuch Li said that this was a royal family banquet, and it was inconvenient to bring Xiao Cui, so Nangong Miyin could only give up and followed Eunuch Li to the Imperial Palace.
This imperial palace is the place where the emperor eats. Of course, the emperor usually does not eat here. Although it is relatively close to the imperial dining room, it is still a certain distance from other palaces, and it is very inconvenient to come and go.
Shangguan Yunba will only use it here when giving banquets to some important ministers or holding important banquets.
On one side of the imperial dining palace is close to the imperial dining room, and there is also an exit on the other side, which leads directly to the imperial city. Don't think that it is easier to sneak into the imperial city from here. Because there are many entrances and exits here, the investigation is even more rigorous than the main entrance of the imperial city.
Entering the Imperial Palace, the magnificence here does not necessarily matter how much the Luoyan Tower where Nangong Miyin lives.
"The goddess of Nangong is arriving!" Before entering the imperial palace, the eunuch at the door had already shrilled.
"Please hurry up!" As soon as the eunuch's voice fell, Shangguan Yunba had already greeted him. He didn't know whether he had just arrived or had been waiting here for a long time.
"Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time!" Nangong Miyin said politely.
"Not long after, I have just arrived. You must be hungry, right? I asked the royal chefs to hurry up with the dishes. I don't know what flavor the goddess likes? Shangguan Yunba asked with a smile.
However, he didn't find that the eunuchs next to him were all stunned to look at Nangong Miyin and Shangguan Yunba. I don't understand why the emperor, who is usually majestic, became so flattering? And still treat a woman.
Although the status of women in the Qingxuan Continent is not low, it also depends on what kind of woman. The status of a cultivation of Xuanqi is naturally not low, but the status of an ordinary woman is not much higher. And an emperor is so flattering women that these people can't help but be surprised.
"Whatever!" Nangong Miyin said. She really doesn't have too many requirements for eating. As a dancer, as long as she can eat enough, it's okay. It's better to eat. Nangong Miin doesn't mind enjoying it. If there are only some bad things, Nangong Miin doesn't mind eating them. The pursuit of martial arts itself is boring. You can't accept the poor things. What's the right to say that you pursue martial arts?
"In this case, make some of their best dishes in the imperial dining room!" Shangguan Yunba announced.
"The maidservant obeys the order!" Li Fuchen hurriedly received the order and went to the imperial dining room to read it.
"You're welcome, please sit down!" I came to the imperial palace, which is the emperor's special canteen. In the middle, of course, it is the emperor's dragon chair and the royal table covered with golden tablecloth.
Then in the middle is a long table, almost throughout the Tang Dynasty, which is used to hold vegetables. When the emperor eats, he naturally can't eat as much as he can like ordinary people.
It can be said that whether it is food, clothing, or even walking, sitting and lying, there are royal rules. When the meal is served, all the dishes are served to the emperor first. If the emperor likes it, he will take a bite, and then take it down and put it on this table.
Until 108 dishes are put down, if the emperor wants to eat that dish, an eunuch will help him bring it up. How much is this and how much is a dish? There are even clear rules on what to eat first and then what to eat, how much you can eat at most in a dish, and how much you should eat at least in a dish.
If you don't want to eat? OK, there has been an official and imperial history waiting for you for a long time. As long as you have the slightest overpass, it will be the end of your emperor's failure to cultivate himself. Write an edict of guilt obediently.
Therefore, being an emperor is not so good, not the kind of ordinary people can do whatever they want. Not to mention anything else, just eat and ask an ordinary person to come over. He may have been stunned by the rules before he eat. Even if he is not dizzy, he may have starved to death before he has learned the rules.
