Chapter 12 Yulin Guard
Xiao Zicheng was awakened by Xiao Tao.
He reluctantly opened his eyes and looked at the little maid in front of him with an anxious look, with a helpless look on his face.
"Little Taozi, I just escaped last night. Today I must have a good sleep. Don't call me if you have nothing to do."
After saying that, he covered the quilt and wanted to meet Duke Zhou again.
"Young Master, get up quickly. The imperial envoy came to the palace. It's already noon now. My uncle has not returned yet. I'm afraid something has happened... Get up quickly!"
The envoy...
Xiao Zicheng was shocked, and the sleepiness that had just risen up again was immediately swept away.
At this moment, he felt dizzy and his face turned a little gray.
Look at the reaction of the cheap dad last night. During the morning court today, he must have presented the stirrup design drawings.
Such great achievements should be rewarded in principle, but now it is noon and my father has not returned yet.
Last night, Xiao Fangzhi got angry about the chimney incident and said that what he did in the market had reached the end of the day.
People of this era still avoid rushing to keep coal stones warm. It is not impossible for chimneys to be defined as evil magic.
Could it be that when His Majesty learned about this, he directly defined him as a villain who was so evil that he was so angry that Long Yan was furious?
"I've heard of the palace...ah...Brother Cheng, you really have a big disaster this time..."
At this moment, Mrs. Qin came from outside the door with a hypocritical crying voice.
Then the bedroom door was kicked open from the outside, and the second young master Xiao Ziqing and Mrs. Qin rushed in.
"You still have the intention to sleep here! Why don't you hurry up and answer the order!"
Xiao Ziqing hurried forward and saw that Xiao Zicheng was still lying on the bed, so he immediately reached out and dragged him down from under the bed.
Xiao Zicheng glanced at Xiao Ziqing coldly, "Changxing City, hey, try touching me? Beat you or not!"
Xiao Ziqing's face stopped, and his hand, which was stopped in the air, hurriedly took it back.
A trace of sinister flashed in Mrs. Qin's eyes, pretending to be bitter, and shook her head:
"Brother Cheng, you're hiding the chimney from the whole mansion... The disaster is happening now, and I'm afraid it's impossible for me to protect you...
Let’s accept the order first. The master must beg for you in the palace now. For the sake of his contributions, he should be able to lose his temper…”
Xiao Zicheng stared at Mrs. Qin with a smile, and secretly complained in his heart.
Look at this posture, this woman is afraid that His Majesty will be furious, and she took the entire Earl's Mansion clean in a few words.
If he was convicted in one day, wouldn’t this rank of count be naturally inherited by his younger brother Xiao Ziqing?
It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly chased him out, and when he arrived at the middle gate, he saw a young eunuch waiting there.
The door of Xiao's house was wide open, and people from all over the mansion brought the incense table and burned the incense, so they all avoided it.
When the eunuch saw Xiao Zicheng coming out, he opened the imperial edict in his hand and said at the top of his voice:
"Yongyi Bozi Xiao Zicheng received the order."
Just like the sound of nature, Mrs. Qin's heart was beating wildly, and she almost couldn't suppress her joy. Fortunately, she quickly adjusted and fell to the ground immediately.
It was indeed an order to Xiao Zicheng, the bastard Xiao, but I didn’t know how to judge the punishment. This is a god-given opportunity!
Mrs. Qin couldn't help but sigh. After years of planning, she finally saw the dawn today...
She let out a long sigh and looked at her son beside her. God helped me too!
Xiao Zicheng also bowed down nervously.
The eunuch said at the top of his voice: "The emperor who follows the heavens and inherits the imperial edict..."
At this time, no one noticed that a trace of shock flashed across Xiao Zicheng's face.
Imperial?
You should know that every word in the imperial edict has been repeatedly pondered, and the rules are strict and it is impossible to confuse it.
The word "chi" is used only to reward low-level personnel.
Could it be that Long Yan was furious and was punished, but that he wanted to be rewarded?
I just heard the eunuch continue to recite:
"The brave and righteous brother Xiao Zicheng offers a treasure to protect the cold so that the people can be worry-free in winter. I am very happy to be promoted to the official of the Yulin Guard Banner. I admire this."
After the eunuch finished reading, he looked at the three people on the ground.
Mrs. Qin looked shocked, as if she was about to suffocate.
Xiao Ziqing looked even more like a ghost, with an incredible face, staring at the eunuch.
I am so happy that I have given an official position?
Mrs. Qin couldn't believe her ears. It was impossible, absolutely impossible... The man clearly said that Xiao Zicheng would be severely punished this time.
Besides, what kind of person Xiao Zicheng is, she doesn't know? How could he be granted an official position? This is simply a fantasy...
The eunuch looked at Xiao Zicheng with a smile:
"Young Master Xiao, why don't you receive the order to thank me?"
Xiao Zicheng only reacted at this time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that Chimney has made contributions...
The Yulin Guard Banner Officer is nothing. The most important thing is that the emperor recognizes chimneys. It won’t take long to promote chimneys in Kyoto.
In other words, the barren mountain will transform into a golden mountain from this moment on!!
He suddenly felt that the cells all over his body were leaping. It was not easy, it was too difficult...
After being scolded so much, I almost got whipped. Now it’s finally time to be proud!
He hurriedly said, "I will receive the order, thank you."
The eunuch's face was filled with smiles. He had handed over the imperial edict to Xiao Zicheng, and ordered people to take the box, put the brocade robe in it, and handed it to Xiao Zicheng.
Mrs. Qin looked at Xiao Zicheng with complicated thoughts, and she had only one thought in her mind. This little bastard is really lucky!
She was a little suspicious of life.
The next moment, Xiao Zicheng was very proud and put on the Yulin Wei brocade robe, swaying in front of her eyes like a show-off.
Qin Ru was so angry that her teeth were itchy, but she quickly changed into a proud look:
"I just said that Brother Cheng is a promising person... Now that he has entered the Guard, it is really a great joy for the whole mansion!"
She subconsciously glared at Xiao Zicheng. Why didn't this little bastard drown in the water that day?
"Hahaha... Of course it's a happy event! After entering the Guards, you must enter the palace to be on duty. I think who dares to say that my son is useless in the future..."
Xiao Fangzhi walked in from outside with a blush on his face. When he saw his son wearing a brocade robe, he immediately laughed boldly.
When Qin Ru saw the master come back, she immediately changed to a delicate look and said softly:
"Master~ Brother Cheng is now promising, you have to consider it for our Brother Qing~~"
......
The sky was already dull, and the sunset shone lazily on the roof of the palace, bringing a quiet picture.
At this time, in the warm pavilion, Emperor Jingping was leaning against the cushion, holding a report submitted by Lu Bing himself, and watching carefully.
The tea on the imperial desk was already cold, but Emperor Jingping had a smile on his lips and muttered to himself:
Chapter completed!
