Chapter Ninety-Five: The Emperor's Order
Today, summoning Shen Qiaoan, there is actually something else.
Shen Qiao'an arrived in Zhongjing, it was the second time, although the first time was the third watch in the middle of the night, but the path was still remembered for most of the time, this time, just arrived at Yongding Gate, a father-in-law came, and sent Shen Qiaoan through the hanging flower gate of Taihe Palace with his shoulder.
Qiao An looked at the scenery in the imperial city while walking, the scenery of the imperial capital was different from the others, Shen Qiao An was originally in a very depressed mood today, but at this point, her mood got better for no reason, as if she could put everything down.
After arriving at the center, here are all the civil and military officials need to get off the horse, Qiao An in the silence, got off the carriage, she raised her head to look around, and found that the scenery of the late autumn in front of her can also be enjoyed, the palace people come and go with chrysanthemums, Qiao An pinched his fingers, but it was almost September 9.
Shen Qiaoan didn't expect to meet Li Zhongxuan here, and this unexpected encounter made Shen Qiaoan very happy.
"Ah, Brother Zhongxuan." Probably, after meeting Li Zhongxuan, Shen Qiaoan's demeanor will change slightly, and the rest of the time, she seems to be old and serious, but seeing Li Zhongxuan is another matter.
Li Zhongxuan stood under a willow tree, and when he saw Shen Qiaoan, he hurriedly chased after him, Qiao An smiled and held Li Zhongxuan's hand, "Why are you here?" β
Li Zhongxuan sighed without annoyance, "The emperor's order cannot be violated." β
"It turns out that Brother Zhongxuan and I are the same, they are all in the same disease?" Shen Qiaoan smiled, pointed to the position in front, and the two went to the side of the Taiye Pool to watch the mandarin ducks, surrounded by a red hibiscus, the blooming romance is gratifying, the golden wind blows, sprinkled with water, and it is very beautiful.
Shen Qiaoan looked at the pond and found that in the pond in late autumn, there were some beautiful lotus lotuses, and there were actually some beautiful lotus lotus, Shen Qiaoan smiled, "It's so beautiful, Brother Zhongxuan." β
Li Zhongxuan looked at Qiao An, stretched out his hand to smooth the messy hair on Shen Qiao'an's face, and said with a smile: "What's so good-looking, is it as good-looking as you?" Qiao An said: "Flowers are naturally more beautiful than people." β
"Then I'll show you." Li Zhongxuan flew up, toe lightly, and went towards the Taiye Pool, far away, but the little county lord Guo Jingning saw it, Guo Jingning hurriedly came over, Li Zhongxuan jumped on the water like a shock, and gave the red lotus to Shen Qiaoan.
When Guo Jingning saw this, he applauded again and again. "Brother Zhongxuan, you can pick one for Ning'er too, Ning'er wants that one." Guo Jingning pointed to a white lotus flower in the distance, Li Zhongxuan looked at Guo Jingning, "I can't reach this, you don't have to be embarrassed, there are many people and masters in the imperial capital, otherwise they will pick it, but they will come to embarrass me." β
"Brother Zhongxuan, how dare Ning'er embarrass you, I really hope that you can pick it for Ning'er." Guo Jingning looked hurt.
At this moment, Li Zhongxuan held Shen Qiao'an's hand, "Qiao'an, let's go, you hold the lotus, and I will hold your hand." Guo Jingning was angry when he saw Shen Qiaoan and Li Zhongxuan going, and wanted to catch up, but after all, he still held back.
She thought, it would be better to find some opportunity to leave Li Zhongxuan behind today and kill Shen Qiaoan.
After all, in the imperial city, but what about her territory, when Shen Qiaoan goes back at this moment, it will be very difficult to get rid of Shen Qiaoan in the future.
The two walked forward and arrived at the place where the banquet was held, the emperor did not come, but there were many people Shen Qiaoan knew, there were Mu Chenxuan, Chen Huaiyi and Chen Dongye, as well as King Qi and King Yu, and in the corner next to him, there was a man with a jade tree in the wind.
The man looked back and smiled at Shen Qiaoan, and Shen Qiaoan realized that it was Guo Jinghao, Shen Qiaoan didn't like Guo Jingning, but his attitude towards Guo Jinghao was so-so, Guo Jinghao was Guo Jingning's brother, the two were siblings, and they were almost inseparable.
After Guo Jinghao was born, Guo Jingning also fell to the ground, but unexpectedly, Guo Jingning and Guo Jinghao's temperaments are completely different.
It's Guo Jingning, pampered and arrogant.
"Zhong Xuan, you are here too, the incident of the other day, this is ......" Guo Jinghao sighed, "It's all our family that has no way to discipline you, and it's causing you trouble." β
"Where, where." Li Zhongxuan instinctively didn't want to talk about Guo Jingning's disappearance, but he also knew that everything today should revolve around the disappearance case, Guo Jinghao stared at Chen Dongye, and pulled Li Zhongxuan to a secluded place to talk.
Shen Qiaoan saw that there were more male guests than girls around, men on the left and women on the right, only the eldest princess Yongshun on the right, Guo Jingning was lying in the arms of his mother, very intimate.
At this moment, seeing this, it can't help but make Shen Qiaoan uncomfortable, if only Shen Shuanghua was still there, she thought, can she also be coquettish with her mother? Isn't it, what you want, what your mother will definitely give you?
The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and at this moment, a eunuch next to her arrived, "Miss Shen, the emperor wants to see you alone." β
Shen Qiaoan didn't know what the emperor wanted to see him, but what he meant, nodded, and followed the eunuch, the eunuch walked away, and praised Shen Qiaoan and said a lot of things, but Shen Qiaoan ignored the two-foot-five tall hat.
But a faint perfunctory smile.
Continuing on, there is a delicate little attic, on which is the emperor's imperial pen on the typesetting. "Guanyin Mountain House", a maid came out with a smile and waved to Shen Qiao'an, and Qiao An entered the house.
In the room, the emperor was holding a brush in his hand, as if he was writing something, and the emperor had a big box in his hand.
The emperor glanced at Shen Qiaoan from the corner of his eye, "Get up, come and see how I write this picture?" While speaking, he gave a piece of writing to Shen Qiaoan, who knew that Jinshang was very conceited about his calligraphy, and once said, "I am in the calligraphy world, and I want to think that I am the second in the world, and there is no one in the world." β
In fact, people who practice calligraphy are like this nine times out of ten, Shen Qiaoan held the piece of paper and looked at it, "Only one person serves the world, not one person for the world." β
Qiao An held the piece of paper and looked at it, and after reading it, there were faint laugh marks in her clear eyes, "The emperor's words are very good, very good, powerful through the back of the paper, equal to big, majestic, like thunder on the ground." β
"Honestly?" The emperor knew that it was Shen Qiaoan's clichΓ©.
"If you tell the truth...... Shen Qiao'an snorted, "Your Majesty doesn't dare to say it." β
"I wanted you to come, I wanted to hear your criticism, and I always bragged to them, which made me flutter." The emperor looked very sincere, Qiao An nodded, "The emperor's words, if only they could be modified and modified, the words were originally very good, but they were too dignified, and they lost the interest of pen and ink." β
"You little girl, how dare you teach me a lesson?" Sure enough, the emperor's face changed.
"The courtiers don't dare, but the emperor has a word first, and she must accept correct and pertinent criticism." Shen Qiaoan said seriously, but the emperor laughed, "Aren't you afraid of me?" β
"Qiao An is afraid, but I also believe that the emperor has a Dao Mingjun, even if Qiao An says the wrong thing, the emperor will not be as familiar as a little girl, right?" I have to say that Shen Qiaoan is very smart, and every sentence sounds full of calculations, but after careful analysis, he left himself some leeway.
The emperor sat down with a smile. "Today, I'm going to allow you to modify my work, but don't want to continue the mink, I'll wait and see." The emperor sat leisurely next to him, waiting for Shen Qiao'an to repair, Qiao An didn't answer, held the brush, and tapped it lightly, and he didn't know where the modification was made, and after a while, a new calligraphy work appeared on the paper.
"The emperor, just now you hid too many places, and now, the courtiers have exposed the capital, so does it seem a lot more vibrant?" Shen Qiaoan picked up the couplet and showed it to today.
Jinshang looked at it and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, it's really good, you are very accomplished, and I will treat you as a teacher." β
"Joan still has her own teacher, but she doesn't dare to be it." Shen Qiao was blessed and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, the emperor said: "Don't be nervous, I want you to come over, but I don't want you to modify my calligraphy, I just test Qiao An's courage." β
"Has the emperor tried it?" Shen Qiao'an smiled, "What is Qiao'an's courage?" β
"Shen Qiao'an, you are bold, very suitable for my spleen and stomach!" The emperor laughed, and Qiao An also laughed, "What does the emperor want Qiao An to do?" β
"Don't worry, since you are bold, I want you to see something." The emperor smiled like a guanzi, but Shen Qiaoan was not anxious, standing dignified, in fact, since Shen Qiaoan just entered this room, he was thinking, what was in that box?
This is the study, so, is it an ancient book? Otherwise, it's just a picture scroll or something, and there are probably some incurable diseases that need to be seen by Shen Qiaoan.
The emperor pointed to the box, "Go and take a look." Shen Qiaoan was worried in his heart, knowing that there must be some secret involved in this box, so he pretended to be calm and walked towards the box, reached out to open the box, and stared at the contents of the box, but it still made Shen Qiaoan slightly surprised.
Shen Qiaoan found that in the box, it was clearly a human head, and there was a layer of quicklime under the box to ensure that the head would not be corrupted.
"It's scary, it's scary." Qiao An said these six words, and said them so lightly, the emperor heard this, stroked his palms and laughed, "You don't even look scared at all." β
"Qiao An is terrified, but after finding out that this is the last time Qiao An was forced off the cliff, Qiao An is not afraid, in fact, Qiao An and Li Zhongxuan are still looking for this person, at this moment, he has settled the dust, and he is really unhappy with retribution."
Last time, yes, she asked Chen Dongye to force him off the cliff, but this person made Shen Qiaoan deeply impressed, and at this moment, when Qiao An saw this, she immediately understood what the emperor meant.
