Warm Pavilion

Eunuch Hu scolded Princess Huaizhen in his heart, silently swallowed the grievance, and said with a smile:

"No, Princess, it's only less than half a month later, how is that possible? Our family is here to pass on the oral orders of His Majesty and the prince consort to come to the palace to meet the saint."

Princess Huaizhen asked in confusion: "Didn't you pass on me? I only called a prince consort?"

Eunuch Hu smiled and said, "I only called the prince consort."

Princess Huaizhen lowered her eyes and thought without saying a word.

Xie Yuan didn't think so much about it. The emperor wanted to see her, which was a variable for her, and it was a good thing for her to have variables.

So he immediately pointed to the dust on his body and said:

"Eunuch Hu, you see that I'm covered in dust and dust, so it's not appropriate to see a car. If you're not too anxious, let me change my clothes?"

"Hmm?... Go, go quickly and go quickly, our house is waiting here." Eunuch Hu waved his hand and said.

Xie Yuan turned around and said to Sun Tian and others who were standing in the distance:

"I want to come to the palace to meet the saint. You guys will scatter, don't cause trouble."

After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind, and did not wait for Sun Tian and the others to respond.

Princess Huaizhen looked at Xie Yuan running away, and felt a little sad. She thought: He was more happy to see the emperor than to see her.

...

Xie Yuan was led into the palace gate and saw the officials and palace servants coming and going on the road. Their faces were solemn, the atmosphere was depressing, and there was a sense of panic.

Only then did she realize that the old emperor had not been to court for several days because he was sick.

Why is the emperor calling him here at this time?

Xie Yuan vaguely felt that what her future fate should be, and she would be known today.

Thinking of this, her heart was nervous and nervous, pounding in her chest, as if she was walking on the way to the execution ground.

Eunuch Hu in front of him walked on the eunuch's unique soft-soled boots and bowed to walk on the road without even a sound.

She especially wanted to get close to him and ask what inside information came out.

But I am not as thick-skinned as Shen Liuzhen, and I can't speak, so I have to have a cold face.

When Eunuch Hu occasionally looked back, he only saw Xie Yuan's cold expression, and he was even more unwilling to speak.

So the two of them ignored each other, one led the way with dedicated work, the other followed silently, and quietly arrived at the side hall of the court.

The place where the ministers went to court was next door. Xie Yuan had never been to court. When he passed by, he felt that the tall houses and buildings were magnificent and majestic.

If you don’t look up, you can’t see the roof. You can only see that each pillar supporting the temple must be as thick as a pair of people hugging each other.

I just don’t know what kind of mood did the ministers who lined up in two shifts to participate in politics and affairs during the morning court every day?

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's eyes darkened: No woman has ever been able to go to court to be an official. She probably won't have such an opportunity in her life to stand in the court and feel it.

"Come in, come in."

Eunuch Hu, who had reported to His Majesty, returned. Seeing Xie Yuan, who had always been confident, lowered his eyes and his face was pale, he couldn't help but look at her more strangely before making a sound.

But as soon as he said this, Xie Yuan's eyes lit up, and his raised face returned to his sharp and confident appearance. He raised his foot and stepped over the palace gate and walked in casually.

Seeing this, Eunuch Hu couldn't help but shook his head, feeling that he must have been thinking too much just now.

The palace is huge, but after a partition wall, there is only a small warm cabinet inside, with a bed, charcoal fire, and a desk.

Xie Yuan passed the spectacular court in front of him and suddenly arrived in such an ordinary small house. He suddenly felt...it turned out that the emperor was just an ordinary person.

Even if he owns a country and a palace of such a large size, the place where he sleeps is still such a large bed, a small house that is conducive to keeping warm.

The old emperor was wearing regular clothes, his hair was a little messy, and his body was covered with thick and gorgeous cloaks. He sat next to the charcoal fire, baking the fire in a daze.

His gray hair was blown by the heat from the charcoal fire and shaking gently.

Xie Yuan didn't know why, but suddenly remembered Fang Bolai.

She frowned and stood there in a daze, feeling extremely shocked inside.

This is the first time she has seen an old emperor like this.

The old emperor of Song State probably felt the gaze behind him, turned his face and looked at her.

The moment he saw Xie Yuan, his expression was still unhappy and even disgusted, but he did not care about Xie Yuan's dullness and rudeness, but instead greeted her lightly:

"Come and sit."

Xie Yuan then moved, walked to the opposite side of the emperor, lifted his clothes and knelt down, and bowed:

"I have met Your Majesty."

The old emperor looked at the flames and turned his head impatiently, a little reluctant, but he seemed helpless and said:

"No politeness, today you just think I am your father-in-law. Don't worry about etiquette, just sit down."

Xie Yuan was even more awkward when he heard this. He thought to himself: The father and daughter are really similar, they are both crazy. If this continues, she really thinks she is a real man.

Xie Yuan glanced at the emperor's face again, pursed his lips, got up straight from the ground, lifted up straight, and sat cross-legged on the mat opposite the emperor.

The small door of the warm pavilion was closed, and there were only the emperor, Eunuch He who served the emperor, and Xie Yuan.

The charcoal basin in the middle was burning hot, which made people feel so frustrated. The old emperor coughed violently twice, and Eunuch He quickly brought the tea to him.

The old emperor took the teacup and took a sip, gasped twice again, and a sound like a bellows breaking out of his chest. He raised his eyes and met Xie Yuan's gaze.

The emperor's eyes suddenly became fierce, majestic and angry. It was not until Xie Yuan lowered his eyes that he said:

"You guessed it, I'm about to die."

Xie Yuan moved his lips, and didn't know how to answer this, so he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The old emperor glared at Xie Yuan, and after a while, he sighed as if he had suddenly compromised with fate, and said:

"How great would it be if you were really a man. In that case, I would use it. You may have been named a general by me and become a pillar of my Song State."

He looked at the brazier with a slouching expression: "Then I don't have to be as sad as I am now."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he suddenly raised his eyes. Danfeng's eyes were filled with light that was excited and moved by being affirmed, as bright as stars.

The emperor was able to say this at least, even if she was a woman, her strength was recognized by the emperor!

Xie Yuan choked up when he spoke in a low and golden voice, and said:

"Your Majesty, why can it be reused by a man? Since Your Majesty thinks I have that strength, please give me the same opportunity as a man!"
