The sun is setting, the palace gate is locked and keyed, a young man in official uniform gallops his horse from a distance, followed by more than ten East Chamber tomes.
This teenager is none other than Zhu Pingan.
After the disc library data inspection and calculation, Zhu Pingan will be the first time to sleeve its data, horse whip, straight to the West Garden, came to see Jiajing Emperor.
To the West Court Palace door, Zhu Pingan rolled over and dismounted, buckled the West Court Palace door.
At this time, at the palace gate to supervise the door is Eunuch Cao, the one who was promoted by Feng Bao from the Raccoon Bureau, these few times into the palace he will take the initiative to greet Zhu Ping An.
“My little Lord Zhu, why are you asking to see His Majesty at this hour? His Majesty is having his evening meal at this hour, it is against the rules for you to seek an audience with His Majesty at this time, I suggest that Sir Zhu seek an audience tomorrow before it’s too late.”Eunuch Cao saw that it was Zhu Pingan who was knocking outside the palace gate, and knowing Zhu Pingan’s intention, he could not help but kindly remind Zhu Pingan.
Zhu Pingan arched his hand and shook his head with a bitter smile, “Eunuch Cao, this is a big matter, I dare not delay, so I have to take the matter as a matter of urgency, I would like to ask Eunuch Cao to please pass the word to the inside, and all consequences will be borne by Pingan alone.”
“How big is it?”Eunuch Cao asked curiously.
“It concerns the fundamentals of the country.”Zhu Pingan returned in a serious manner.
“Little Lord Zhu wait for a moment, I will go in and talk to him.”Eunuch Cao sniffed, knowing that the matter was of great importance, he no longer hesitated, turned around and went in to pass Bing.
“Thank you, Eunuch Cao.”
Zhu Pingan arched his hand in thanks and stood outside the palace gates waiting.
As the sun set, the evening sun burnt half of the sky red, and the palace wall at the west gate was also set ablaze with a reddish colour.
The wait was long.
So long that Zhu Pingan’s legs were sore from standing.
“Crunch ……”
A door opening sound rang out, which was no less than heavenly music to Zhu Pingan’s ears.
Eunuch Cao opened the palace door and wiped the sweat stains on his head while panting heavily and said to Zhu Pingan, “Little Lord Zhu …… you please come in.”
“Many thanks, Eunuch Cao.”Zhu Pingan could tell from the sweat on Eunuch Cao’s head as well as his loud panting that he had just run all the way here, and as he entered, Zhu Pingan nodded his thanks to him.
“Little Lord Zhu is polite, please hurry, don’t keep His Majesty waiting.”Eunuch Cao smiled and shook his head.
Zhu Pingan nodded and quickly walked inside.
The palace ridge swallowed the golden beasts, the temple pillars jade lind scales, both sides of the imperial road were lined with green trees and famous flowers, the red walls and golden tiles were splendid.
All the way unimpeded.
According to reason, the palace should be more of a woman’s grease and powder smell, but the West Garden is different, the most prominent flavour of the West Garden is the smell of incense and fire.
If we were to talk about the smell alone, we would have thought that we had entered a temple or Taoist temple.
Walking in front of the entrance of the Longevity Palace, Zhu Pingan organised his language again, straightened his official clothes, and only then walked inside.
Just as he lifted his footsteps and was about to enter the door, a gust of fragrant wind hit him, and then he was bumped by a person inside who was running out of the room in a huff.
“Princess you slow down, be careful ……” the voice of the two palace maids inside the palace courtyard sounded after the horse, however, it was too late, when they shouted out to be careful, the two of them had already bumped into each other.
The incident was so sudden that Zhu Pingan did not have time to dodge and was hit on the shoulder, knocking him back a step.
The man inside was not so lucky, shorter than Zhu Ping An by half a head, and lowered his head, directly hit his head on Zhu Ping An’s shoulder, the shiny brain immediately reddened a piece, almost bulging a small bag.
“Aigoo, which ungrateful dog slave dares to block this princess’s path.”A thirteen or fourteen year old palace maiden ate the pain and let out a rant, her slender jade hand covering her brain, pouting her little mouth and pointing at Zhu Pingan and cursing profusely.
Surprisingly, it was a princess?
Still a savage princess!
Zhu Pingan sniffs, his heart slanders, but who let others be well reincarnated, although being pointed at and scolded, he can only lower his head and bend down to perform a great salute arching his hand in apology, “I don’t know that the Princess has arrived, the micro-legal minister has sinned.”
“Huh? It’s you, exposure freak?!”
Zhu Pingan lowered his head and suddenly heard an exclamation of surprise from the top of his head.
This princess is insane, right?
Where is one’s own exposure freak, the official clothes are worn neatly alright, and this is the first time they meet alright!
“I do not understand.”
Zhu Pingan lowered his head, his face speechless.
“So Father Emperor whisked me back to Feng Yang Pavilion just because of your broken folds? You wait! Hmph! There you go!”
The princess’s voice above her head was overflowing with sulkiness, followed by a grunt, a flutter of her sleeve, and she left with a string of angry footsteps.
“I am terrified.”
Zhu Pingan was even more speechless, this princess was really a nervous wreck, right, inexplicably.
“Princess, you slow down ……”
The two palace maids trotted and chased after her.
Waiting until the footsteps were far away, Zhu Pingan raised his head, swept with his afterglow, saw the three distant backs, shook his head breathlessly, and took a step towards the palace.
For the threat of this princess who didn’t even see her appearance, Zhu Pingan didn’t put it on his mind, feeling that this neurotic princess probably recognised the wrong person, exposing the maniac ……How can it be himself.
Princess of such things are raised in the deep palace people do not know, they only entered the palace a few times, even the palace maid has not seen much, let alone the princess. Besides, oneself in the palace can be a hundred and twenty careful, time and again are fully clothed, even if sleep is also with pajamas, which dare to expose. Therefore, this somewhat nervous princess must have recognised the wrong person.
To Zhu Pingan, this is an inexplicable episode, not taken seriously at all.
Entering the outer hall of the Wanshou Palace, the eunuch on duty passed the word inside, and soon Zhu Pingan was summoned and stepped in.
“Sinful minister Zhu Pingan, kowtow to my emperor, long live my emperor.”
After walking into the inner hall, Zhu Pingan firstly performed the three worships and nine kowtows salute in a regular manner to see Emperor Jiajing inside the hall.
Emperor Jiajing was indeed just eating, and now the meal is not even finished, the table is still set with meals.
“Why do you call yourself a sinful minister?”Emperor Jiajing put down the jade bowl in his hand and looked at Zhu Pingan, who was kneeling on the ground, with interest and asked.
“The sinful minister seeks an audience when the palace gate is locked and keyed and His Holiness is having his evening meal, and performs things that are against the system, this minister is also guilty.”Zhu Pingan prostrated himself on the ground, his forehead pressed against the floor tiles, and respectfully returned.
“Zhu Pingan, you know that violating the system also me to see me when I have my meal, the person is small, but the guts are not small.”Jiajing Emperor got up, paced to Zhu Pingan, said with a smile or not.
“It’s not that I’m bold, but the matter is so important that I don’t dare to delay.”The rest of Zhu Pingan’s vision saw the ten square shoes embroidered with dragons in front of him, and he couldn’t help but be even more respectful.
The upper of the Ten Square Shoes is a black and white striped pattern, with ten holes on it, representing ten directions such as East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest, North, Northeast, Upper, Lower, and so on, and therefore called Ten Square Shoes, which are the shoes that Taoist priests often wear, and are also Avray loved by the Jiajing Emperor, who is a revered Taoist. There is no doubt that at this moment standing in front of their own, condescending to look at their own is Jiajing emperor.
“Get up, what’s the big deal say it, I’m listening.”
With his hands behind his back, Jiajing Emperor paced to the dragon chair and sat down.
“I, thank you, Your Majesty.”
Zhu Pingan once again performed a big salute, before slowly getting up.
