One hundred and twentieth chapters face saint
The dinner to welcome Wei Hong was very simple, and there were only a few people. It was said that it was a dinner, but it was more like a slightly more sumptuous supper. Despite this, Wei Hong was still very satisfied. Sometimes the communication of feelings did not require a huge momentum, as long as it was thoughtful, it was enough. Li Xuanqing took a few bites and left. When Li Zongren saw Li Xuanqing leave, he left in time. For a moment, only Wei Hong and the two daughters were left at the dinner. I don’t know if Li Xuanqing deliberately gave up the space to Wei Hong and the two daughters, or if there was something else to do.
Well, after a long time, I hadn't had a chat with the second daughter, so I had this opportunity to have a good chat. Wanniang, like before, spent most of her time in the house and rarely went out. Wei Hong asked her to go out for more walks, but she said how could women show up all day long. Wei Hong was always worried that Wanniang was so tired of being suffocated at home, but fortunately Ruohua was with her, so she could chat and spend time passing the loneliness and emptiness. The content of the chat had no substantial effect, and most of them revolved around Wei Hong, and Wei Hong also liked to be surrounded by the voice of the second daughter Yingying and Yanyan. At the end of the Moxu period, Wei Hong took the second daughter back to the house to rest.
The next morning, just as the sky was dawn, an imperial edict was issued to Hongyuan Trading Company. Xuan Weihong entered the palace to meet the saint. He thought that the problem of the Liuzhou rat disease ended silently, and no one mentioned it. However, this imperial edict appeared in front of Wei Hong without any warning, which caught Wei Hong off guard. Wan Niang and Ruohua were very happy to learn that Wei Hong was going to enter the palace to meet the saint. They happily took out Wei Hong's best clothes, put them on Wei Hong, washed their faces and combed their hair, and were busy inside and outside. Li Xuanqing's face was calm and uninvited. Seeing the two girls arranged for Wei Hong, Li Xuanqing sighed quietly and said, "Wei Hong, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, you have to be more careful."
Wei Hong didn't expect Li Xuanqing to remind herself of these things, and she felt something indescribable in her heart: "Thank you, Miss, for the reminder."
Under the escort of the two women, Wei Hong got on the carriage to the palace, and Wei Hong's heart kept pounding along the way. Since he went to Liuzhou to solve the problem of rat disease, Wei Hong had already expected that he would have a close contact with the emperor, but when this day really came, Wei Hong was still a little uneasy. As Li Xuanqing said, being with the king is like a tiger, you can only make contributions in front of the emperor, and you can't make mistakes. At least a little mistake may ruin himself. Wei Hong's mind is mainly focused on doing business and does not want to have anything to do with the officialdom. Now that he has a connection with the officialdom, Wei Hong feels like he is forced to go to Liangshan.
The palace was very different from Wei Hong's impression. The walls were very high, the palace gate was very large, and the guards were very strict, so no one should enter. Wei Hong was waiting outside the palace gate. The guards went in to report. After receiving permission, Wei Hong, under the leadership of the guards, he cautiously approached the Zichen Hall in the Daming Palace. When he arrived outside the Zichen Hall, the guards talked to the eunuch at the door, and left Wei Hong alone. The eunuch looked up and down at Wei Hong, walked to Wei Hong, and saluted respectfully and said: "Prince Wei, you are here early. The emperor is discussing matters with Duke Liang. He also asked Mr. Wei to wait outside the door for a while."
The imperial edict said that Wei Hong would come earlier, but after he came, he said that Wei Hong came too early. Isn’t this explicitly treating people like monkeys? Or that he was shocking Wei Hong with the majesty of the royal family. Wei Hong felt a little frustrated, but did not dare to show it. He just responded respectfully, stood there, and waited quietly.
This time, I waited from morning to noon, and I waited for two hours. Wei Hong was in a hurry, and the water had not entered. In addition, I was standing for so long, and I was unconsciously dizzy and tired. The eunuch at the door seemed to see Wei Hong's abnormality, so I quickly sent someone to bring a glass of water to Wei Hong to drink, and comforted him: "Your Madam Wei is the first time you have entered the palace. I am afraid you don't know much about the rules in the palace. Two hours are already long for you, but it is a blink of an eye for the priest. I remember a while ago, when the governor of Binzhou entered the palace to meet the priest, I stood outside the Zichen Palace for a day and a night. After seeing the priest, I fainted on the ground. Compared to the governor of Binzhou, Mr. Wei is much better."
Wei Hong knew that there were many rules in the palace, and it was harder to see the emperor than to reach the sky, but waiting for a day and a night outside was too long. Others didn't know that Wei Hong couldn't stand it anyway. Since he came early, why didn't he go home and rest first and wait for the emperor to have time before coming? Wei Hong was a little puzzled and angry, thinking that the emperor really knows how to make a fool of himself.
After waiting for about half an hour, the door of Zichen Palace slowly opened. Fang Xuanling, the Liang State Duke, walked out of the middle. Seeing Wei Hong being by his side, Fang Xuanling smiled at Wei Hong and said, "Mr. Wei, this time, my family's care is thanks to your care. If you have time another day, please be sure to come to the mansion to sit down."
Before Wei Hong could answer, a summon sounded in Zichen Hall: "Xuan Wei Hong's visit."
Wei Hong had no time to answer, so he nodded to Fang Xuanling and walked quickly to Zichen Hall. But before he could enter, the eunuch standing outside the door made a gesture to Wei Hong, indicating that Wei Hong should slow down and not hit the Holy Lord, otherwise it would be a death sentence! Wei Hong could only adjust his breathing, slow down his pace, and try to enter Zichen Hall as appropriate.
As soon as he entered the Zichen Hall, Wei Hong saw Emperor Taizong sitting behind the Dragon Case. At this time, Emperor Taizong of Tang was looking down at a scroll and ignored Wei Hong's arrival. In Wei Hong's impression, Emperor Taizong of Tang should be a handsome and handsome man, but Emperor Taizong of Tang was slightly fat. Compared with his domineering aura, Emperor Taizong of Tang showed more affinity.
"Wei Hong, a scholar from Hangzhou, I hope that the emperor will live long live long live long live long live long live long live long." Wei Hong knelt on the ground and gave a great gift to Emperor Taizong of Tang on the Dragon Case. This was the first time Wei Hong has performed such a great gift since he came to this world.
Emperor Taizong of Tang seemed not to see Wei Hong or hear Wei Hong speak. He didn't know that Wei Hong came in, his eyes were just focused on staring at the scroll on the dragon table. Wei Hong knelt on the ground awkwardly, not daring to get up, and he couldn't stop wondering, what was this dog emperor going to do? Was he deaf or blind? Or was he deliberately ignoring himself?
Just when Wei Hong was nervous and confused, Emperor Taizong of Tang, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head and sighed with his beard: "This painting is not like the world, this woman is even more like a god. Just this painting can defeat the entire Tang Dynasty."
