Chapter 218 Returning to Beijing
Chapter 218 Returning to Beijing
As they were about to enter Beijing, everyone felt a little nervous.
Minister Lin, in particular, has been particularly cordial towards Censor Li since he boarded the ship back to Beijing.
He had been happy for so long, and finally when he was about to go to the capital, he remembered that he was actually an important official in the capital who was ordered to leave the capital.
Not only that, but there was also someone who was ordered to monitor him, and that was fine.
However, he happened to have a little leverage in the other party's hands, and he almost sent the person away accidentally.
He was really careless. He just thought the pot of mushrooms was very fresh and wanted to have a bowl to drink, but after he had served it, he suddenly didn't want to drink it anymore.
I just gave it to the old man next door.
Who would have thought that it would almost cost the old man his life?
Hey……
The old man doesn't look or actually is a broad-minded person. What should I do?
Minister Lin once again hit a snag with Censor Li, and came out in a dejected manner, joining the small table of three young men on the deck.
Or maybe some people are just really talented, as they have been sailing on the ship for many days and still have fresh cherries to eat.
When they docked in Yongzhou City, he saw with his own eyes that two whole carts of fruit were loaded onto the ship.
Tut tut...
What did he want to say about what Prince Xie was feeling awkward about? He was too young to be tactful. You should first join the Fourth Prince's camp and send him to the throne. By then, the county lady will not want to enter the harem.
Isn’t it simple and easy to deal with this competitor?
In that case, oh, his son has no chance either, he is too old, and his grandson also has no chance, he is too young.
But he did not gain nothing from it. Isn't having a good monarch better than anything else?
What's more, entering the palace is not as convenient as entering the marquis's mansion. If the county lord enters the palace in the future, he will never be able to see her again.
Minister Lin, who loved to watch the fun, was eating fruit while making clear arrangements for the future of the three people in his mind.
Because he didn't dare to say it.
He was afraid that the Fourth Prince would directly ask him to report to the Hades Palace...
Censor Li stayed in the cabin reading and playing mahjong for many days. He was about to go to Beijing, so he had to change his mindset as soon as possible.
For a lone minister like him, his image in front of the emperor is already fixed. If he goes out and comes back in a short time with a completely different appearance, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.
At his age, he doesn't like accidents, whether good or bad. He just wants to live a simple and stable life.
He can put his own preferences and other things aside for the time being.
Censor Li turned a page of a book in the sunlight coming through the window. He caught a glimpse of a small plate of washed and cut fruits on the table and the figures of an old man and three young men on the deck. A stiff smile appeared on his usually rigid face.
Speaking of which, his room seems to be the best-lit room on the ship.
The view is also good.
Li Jiaojiao had a relatively free day today because Guo Biao's 40th birthday had passed yesterday and he did not die.
Finally, her vitality pills and spiritual spring water were not wasted.
She lay in the rocking chair in an ungraceful manner, covered with a thin blanket made of cool fabric.
It seems strange when you look at it from a distance, as people are still covered with blankets in such hot weather.
But when you get closer, you can feel the coolness all around the blanket.
To be honest, there are really a lot of good things here, which are comparable to the high-tech in previous lives, or even better.
For example, the blanket she is wearing and the fan in her hand...
Lu Liang and Xie Xiao are playing chess.
Xie Xiao, in a moon-white robe, held the white pieces, while Lu Liang, in a lavender shirt, held the black pieces, and they moved back and forth.
When neither of them spoke, it was still very pleasing to Li Jiaojiao.
In fact, sometimes she wondered why she didn’t travel through time to an era where women were dominant?
In this case, life will be more colorful than she can imagine (*^▽^*)
It's not that there has never been a time when I wanted to overthrow the Daqing Dynasty and become like the heroine in the novels, ruling the world and having countless handsome men.
But she could only think of a happy ending, and she couldn't even imagine the process...
Forget it.
It’s better to lie down.
……
The June wind brings the fragrance of rice flowers.
The transport ship swayed along the way, and everyone finally arrived in the capital.
On this day, the sky over the capital was cloudless.
When the crowd's carriages passed the city gate, there was not a single refugee nearby.
I heard that even the first group of people who did not return to Yuncheng to settle down, after hearing about what happened in Yuncheng, packed up their belongings and went to Yuncheng.
This incident directly made the Princess of Qingyang County, who had been distributing porridge for days, so angry that she fell ill and has not left the house yet.
Li Jiaojiao was astonished when she heard this. This noble lady from ancient times was really a homebody.
Even if the mansion is huge and has everything, wouldn’t you get tired of walking around the back garden every day after so many years?
And what's there to be angry about?
Isn’t it said that one should show kindness without expecting anything in return?
The layout is small.
The city gate is majestic and there are many people queuing up to enter and exit the city.
The soldiers at the city gate were busy early in the morning.
The imperial envoy's team originally had to queue up to enter the city, but the situation was different for the team with the prince.
The imperial envoys' team, with the Wanmin Umbrella leading the way, were respectfully invited to the side of the queue to enter the city.
A special team of soldiers appeared in the city, diligently (perfunctorily) inspected the huge team, and then personally led the team into the city.
When the carriage passed the city gate, Li Jiaojiao heard a very low voice, "Blue-clad, purple-clad, respectfully send off the county lady."
Li Jiaojiao raised her hand and lifted a corner of the curtain, and sure enough, she saw a sedan parked in an inconspicuous corner.
……
Emperor Qing learned the news that his son would be back soon in the morning, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Even during meetings, the scolding became gentler.
For trivial matters, memorials were no longer thrown away and were all sent to the imperial kitchen for cooking.
Even the Empress Chen in the harem would go to the Imperial Garden and stroll around the Panlong Well when she was in a good mood.
He had not left the palace for many years, but none of the palace maids and eunuchs dared to neglect him. When they saw him, they were all trembling with fear and served him carefully. Of course, most of the time they would try to hide from him if possible.
Until someone accidentally fell in front of the Empress Chen, and was picked up by the personal maid beside the Empress Chen, "Why are you shaking? The Empress doesn't eat people!"
The young eunuch's legs were shaking and he thought, it's all over, it's completely over.
It is said that it is not easy to survive in the outside world, but you can eat and drink the best food and drink in the palace. As long as you are cruel enough to slap yourself, you will be the best person in the palace.
It is said that the chief steward serving the emperor used to be like this.
It's all lies, it's not easy to get along in the palace, it's a good death...
The young eunuch thought he was going to die, but of course he didn't.
The Concubine Chen turned around and left with her people.
The young eunuch was called to the Zichen Palace for questioning because he met the Concubine Chen. It is unknown what Emperor Qing heard that made him so pleased that he actually kept the young eunuch to serve in front of him.
It is true that misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune...
