If he hadn't known this was the palace, he would have thought it was a ghost.
Then the man who kept his head down lifted his cloak and revealed his true face.
He Donglai was surprised, "long princess?"
It was no one else who stopped him. It was Yan Luoqing, the eldest princess who had married a military general in the suburbs of Beijing!
"Can Mr. He take a step?" Yan Luoqing motioned to the servant girl next to him. The servant girl quickly took out a square wide box and put it in front of him.
He Donglai frowned slightly and didn't answer. He looked at Yan Luoqing inexplicably, "long princess, are you...?"
He didn't often walk around the palace, but he also knew that the princess had done something wrong before she married the military general, and once annoyed his majesty. If it hadn't been for the August 15 Festival these days, I'm afraid the long Princess wouldn't be able to enter the palace.
What made him feel more difficult to understand was that although the eldest princess lost her favor in front of her majesty, she was still the flesh and blood of the queen. She didn't have to do it in person. It could be solved in a word.
But now, she dressed like this in the middle of the night. The moon was dark and the wind was high. She stopped herself when no one found out. Rao was as smart as He Dong. She couldn't think of what she was up to.
"Lord he, I have something to ask for." The box held by the servant girl approached He Dong again.
"The long princess can say it. As long as he can do it, he will do his best."
Yan luoqian's half face was hidden in the dark, only his eyes were as cruel as ever, word by word, "the palace just wants to beg Lord he, don't show mercy to the bitch Yan Qiqi!"
“……”
He Dong came with a pair of eagle eyes like a hook and looked at Yan Luoqing's eyes calmly. "The long Princess joked. Since he took charge of Dali temple, the interrogation of prisoners has always been justified. The guilty person should naturally obey the law, and the innocent person will not impose it."
His understanding of Yan Luoqing was limited to several times when Emperor Yan hosted a banquet in the court. He didn't even say a word. Today, she suddenly ran over and told herself not to let Yan Qiqi go. He Donglai couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend. Naturally, he was cautious and didn't leak a word.
Yan Luoqing seemed to have expected that he Donglai would not be easy to meet, and didn't say much. He just ordered the servant girl around him to put the gift box in his hand on the carriage parked not far away.
"Lord he's impartial in law enforcement. Naturally, he is favored by his father and Emperor. My mother also said that I must meet Lord he when I have the opportunity. It's a blessing for me to have such a capable person as Lord he."
Wen Yan Hedong came to her eyes with a slight twinkle and refused to raise her hands again.
Back in the carriage, he Donglai opened the gift box. It contained not gold and silver treasures, but a painting. He hooked his lips and closed the box.
It seems that the long princess is also a schemer. She has already made it clear that he likes to inquire. Knowing that he always prefers antique calligraphy and painting, she sent a painting of Mr. Bei Yu to his liking.
And even if someone asks about it in the future, it can be said that it was given by the long princess. It's really smart!
"My Lord, are we going back to the house or..." before the coachman finished, he Donglai waved his hand in a good mood, "go back to Dali temple, I'm going to chew that hard bone!"
"Yes."
The carriage sped by and disappeared into the dark road.
After He Dong came and left, Duke min hurried over and told Emperor Yan, "Your Majesty, Duke Cheng has knelt at the gate of the palace for a long time and begged to see his majesty."
Emperor Yan's eyes were full of fatigue and waved, "go tell Duke Cheng and let him go back. I'm tired and don't want to see anyone."
"Yes."
As soon as father-in-law min came out, Yan Tianji, who had been standing outside the door for a long time, hurried to meet him, "father-in-law min, does your majesty want to call me to see you?"
"Marquis, go back. Your majesty has fallen asleep."
Yan Tianji's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the valley.
It seems that he guessed right. Your majesty doesn't intend to see him.
Seeing his dejected appearance, Grandpa min sighed slightly. He couldn't see it anymore, so he said a few more words, "Marquis, your majesty summoned Lord he of Dali Temple just now. You should be careful."
Father-in-law Min has served his majesty for many years. He has long known Yan Tianji. It's reasonable to say a few words to remind him.
He sighed and continued to whisper, "in fact, people with a clear eye know that the princess has been wronged. When the princess was a little baby, slaves can see that the princess has a kind heart. Usually, even an ant is reluctant to step on it. How can she become a murderer."
Yes, people with clear eyes can see, but your majesty can't.
Yan Tianji blessed father-in-law min and said, "thank you for your advice."
"Go back."
Seeing Duke Cheng get on the sedan and get out of the palace, Duke min returned to the Tai Chi hall to recover his life.
"He's gone? What did you say? "
"Tell your majesty that Duke Cheng has left without saying anything."
Father min went over to pick up the scissors and cut off a section of the dried candle wick. The high candle that had just escaped calmed down in an instant. "I knew that your Majesty was beating into a duke. For example, if you let the candle wick burn, it would only shake your Majesty's eyes. Only your majesty trimmed it from time to time can it light up for a long time."
When Emperor Yan heard the speech, he put down the memorial and looked at father-in-law min. after a long time, he laughed and scolded, "you old fox!"
The night wind was rustling, the palace lamps were flickering, and the candles were ethereal. Yan luoqian had been standing alone under the corridor for a long time.
Not far away, two small eunuchs were whispering, "Your Highness, it's just a short time ago. It's windy at night. You can't blow like this..."
Another eunuch said, "no, but you and I understand that we can't change what your highness decides."
"Hey, what should I do!"
Just when the two little eunuchs were anxious like ants on a hot pot, Yan luoqian said, "come and prepare horses for the palace!"
Prepare a horse?
It's almost time for ugliness. What does the prince want the horse to do?
