The Golden Age Chapter 518: Osmanthus cake
Qin Xiao's mood when he entered the palace again was completely different from the last time he entered the palace.
When he first entered the inner palace, Qin Xiao's heart was filled with doubts. He had always wondered why the emperor of Tang Dynasty would summon himself a small military officer.
This time he entered the palace, but he knew exactly why the saint was summoned.
I provoke Mrs. Chengguo and kill Mrs. Chengguo's lover and guards. Of course, Mrs. Chengguo can't give up.
He has been staying at Dali Temple, waiting for the next wind and thunder.
Of course, it is impossible for the palace to hand over this case to Dali Temple, but he did not make an order to hand it over to the Criminal Ministry, but directly called himself into the palace.
Although Qin Xiao has already figured out how to deal with the question, and what he has done, jurisprudentially speaking, it is even impeccable.
But the real powerhouse does not apply rules to reason with you, but authority and strength.
Just like the Criminal Ministry, if you really want to kill someone, those statutes will become a pile of waste paper.
After entering the palace, Qin Xiao was taken directly to the courtyard where the Imperial Study Room was located.
He knew that the imperial study room was the place where the saint’s memorials were individually reviewed after the saint’s dynasty. The imperial study room in his imagination should be extremely luxurious, but to his surprise, the courtyard where the imperial study room was located was not large, with wonderful flowers planted around it. The strange grass is a small courtyard full of spring. The Imperial Study Room located in the center is also antique and not luxurious.
The courtyard is quiet.
In addition to flowers and plants, the yard is surrounded by linden trees. Entering the small courtyard, a curved path made of Yuhuashi leads directly to the main entrance of the Imperial Study Room. There are two deacons and eunuchs guarding the palace at any time. .
After Qin Xiao was taken to the small courtyard, he was kneeling ten steps away from the main entrance. He was taken here before noon. At this time, the sky was already dark, and even the eunuchs on duty in the Imperial Study Room changed. After leaving the post, the saint was never summoned.
There are hard and finely broken Yuhua stones under the knees, which look really beautiful, but they are really not very comfortable. From noon to dark, Qin Xiao’s knees are extremely uncomfortable, and his body is a little stiff. I wanted to get up and move my body for a while, but after all, I didn't have the courage.
His inner strength is enough to make him aware of at least five or six light and well-proportioned breaths in the dense flowers and grasses of this small courtyard.
Judging from the breathing of those people, almost no one's martial arts is under him.
This is the place where the saints reviewed the memorials. It can also be said to be the heart of the entire empire. Under the quiet surface, the defense is naturally extremely strict.
The Ziyi Supervisor is like a cloud, and Qin Xiao knows this well. He dared to challenge the Ministry of Justice and even beheaded Mrs. Chengguo under the cover of Tang Law, but he really didn’t dare to easily provoke the Ziyi Supervisor. people.
Although he wanted to get up and move very much, he knew very well that since the saint had let himself kneel here and ignored him, it was probably a punishment. If he got up without permission, he could be charged with disrespect in an instant. The most important thing right now is not to let anyone find an excuse to clean up, or to bear with it.
When it was dark, the palace lanterns were already lit in the Imperial Study Room, which was very bright.
But Qin Xiao suspects that the saint is not in the imperial study room at all.
Otherwise, from noon to the present, for a long time, not only did I not see the saint walking around, and no one even brought the royal meal inside. Although the saint was the ninety-five god, he was also a flesh and blood body. .
Qin Xiao felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach when he thought of eating.
Yesterday to today, for a full day, apart from drinking the altar of wine at Dali Temple, it really didn’t get the grain of rice, and I served with the government office last night
We had a fierce battle, and it took some energy. At this time, I really felt a little dry and hungry.
This feeling of hunger is actually nothing to Qin Xiao, after all, it was not that he had never been hungry back then.
Only the last time I entered the palace, I ate delicacies and feasted on it. This time I entered the palace, I didn't even have to drink my saliva. I still knelt on the Yuhuashi for most of the day. The two treatments were really different.
What's terrible is that Qin Xiao is not sure how long he will kneel.
Last time I waited in the palace for a day, and finally he was sent out of the palace without seeing the saint. I knelt here for a long time today, and it is still too late for the saint to be summoned. He is really worried that the saint will let himself in Kneeling down here, even if you kneel on this Yuhuashi with an iron body, it won't be able to bear it.
After a while, Qin Xiao straightened up immediately after hearing the sound of footsteps behind him. Soon, feeling the lights came on, an **** next to him carried the lantern and walked by, followed by two young men. The little eunuch, holding the memorial in his arms, no one glanced at Qin Xiao and walked over.
Qin Xiao knew that these memorials were used for the saint’s review, and at this moment, a faint scent penetrated into the nostrils. This scent was not strong, even a little light, but when it filled the tip of the nose, it was refreshing and refreshing. People feel particularly comfortable.
The fragrant wind blew, and a graceful figure walked past him, the palace gauze was like a cloud, and it was as elegant as a fairy. Qin Xiao couldn't help but look up, only to see the graceful and graceful figure from the back, the body wrapped in the gorgeous palace gauze. Abundant and enchanting, the willow waist swings between walking, with infinite amorous feelings.
Several eunuchs walked directly to the imperial study room. The graceful figure walked a few steps past Qin Xiao, then suddenly stopped and turned around. Qin Xiao could see that the beautiful and soft face was not the grandson sheguan. Who can it be?
The eldest grandson Mei'er saw Qin Xiao looking at her, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She walked over quickly, handed something to Qin Xiao, and whispered: "Don't let anyone see it."
Qin Xiao was stunned, and took it in his hand like a conditioned reflex, only to find that it was a small oil paper bag. A scent of sweet-scented osmanthus radiated from the oil paper bag. Qin Xiao was stunned and looked up again. The grandson Meier had already turned and twisted. With the willow waist and full round hips, he walked quickly to the Yushufang.
Qin Xiao opened the oil-paper bag, but found that there were two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in it. His heart felt warm. He thought to himself that the grandson Sheguan was really gentle and considerate. He wanted to know that he was kneeling here for most of the day. I didn't enter, so I secretly stuffed myself two pieces of sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
Long Sun Meier told herself not to be seen by others. Naturally, she did not refer to the masters lurking in the courtyard. After all, her every move was under the attention of those big inner masters, so she naturally saw her grandson Meier stuffing herself. pastry.
When the grandson Sheguan did this, he should be careful not to be seen by the saint, or the **** next to the saint.
I was quite hungry in my belly. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake was made extremely delicate, and the sweet scent of osmanthus only pierced his nose. Qin Xiao couldn’t wait to take a bite, but he didn’t rush to eat it. Sure enough, after a while, The three eunuchs who gave the memorial came out of the imperial study room, the **** carrying the palace lantern walked in front, and the other two filed behind, all slightly bent, not squinting. When passing by Qin Xiao, they didn't even look at it. At a glance, only the eldest grandson Meier remained in the royal study room and did not come out.
Qin Xiao knows that he can freely enter and exit the royal study room of the saint, the position of the grandson sheguan is absolutely extraordinary, at least it is the confidant of the saint.
The last time she entered the palace, Princess Musk took the opportunity to attack herself. It was the grandson Sheguan who helped her make the round. Qin Xiao was grateful to the grandson Sheguan and had a good impression. Today, the grandson Sheguan remembers herself again. Without food, he secretly stuffed himself with sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, which made Qin Xiao grateful for the cherished stunner.
After the eunuchs left, Qin Xiao took the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and feasted on it.
There is no shortage of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes in the dim sum shops in the market.
But the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the palace is obviously different from the cakes in the market. Not only is the shape exquisite, but also other things are obviously added to it. It is soft and delicious, full of fragrance, sweet but not greasy.
One piece of pastry was quickly settled, picked up the other piece, and opened his mouth to bite half. At this moment, when he heard footsteps coming from behind, Qin Xiao hurriedly wrapped the remaining half in a greased paper bag. In the arms, the half piece in the mouth accelerates and chews a few times and swallows it into the abdomen.
At this moment, I heard a shrill voice from behind: "Kneel to the side."
Qin Xiao couldn't help turning his head, and saw two eunuchs carrying two palace lanterns, one on the left and the right. In the middle, a woman in a golden robe and a dragon crown carried her hands behind her back, her phoenix eyes sharp, no Angrily and majestic, beside her was a black-clad old **** who was over fifty years old and followed.
Qin Xiao saw the woman in the golden robe of the dragon crown, and immediately knew that this was the current emperor of Tang Dynasty, and in all the world, except for the saint, naturally no one would dare to dress like this.
Qin Xiao knelt in the middle of the road. This road is not wide. The emperor's path, of course, can't detour from the side like the previous eunuchs who sent memorials.
Qin Xiao hurriedly moved to the side, and kowtowed: "Little minister Qin Xiao, knock on the saint!"
The saint held his back with his hands on his back. Although he was a female stream, he had an air of heroism. He glanced at Qin Xiao from a condescending position and did not speak. He walked towards the imperial study room. The black-clothed old **** always followed the saint with a glimpse. Qin Xiao glanced at him.
The black-clothed old **** accompanied the saint into the imperial study room, but the eunuchs who accompanied the **** did not go in. They just hung two palace lanterns on the hook outside the imperial study room, and the two eunuchs who were on duty were retiring in rotation. Down, just for a moment, there were only the eunuchs who had led the way for the saint by the light in the royal study room, and all the other eunuchs left the courtyard.
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly.
He knelt for a long time in the Imperial Study Room, unable to be summoned by the saint, and he always suspected that the saint was not among them. Now it seems that it is true. He has been kneeling facing the empty Imperial Study Room for a long time, and the saint has just arrived. Yushufang.
He knew that this was the saint deliberately letting himself be punished. After all, he offended the saint's sister, but he didn't know how the saint would punish him next.
I thought that since the saint had returned to the imperial study room, he should find himself in soon, but after waiting for more than half an hour, he saw Changsun Sheguan appear in front of the imperial study room, and said softly: "Young Master Xuan Dali Temple Qing Qin Xiao greeted him." Then he raised his slender hand and called to his side.
Qin Xiao let out a sigh of relief, and was stoned by Yuhua for a long time, and then knelt down like this, I was afraid that he would not be able to stand up.
He got up, ran over, to the door, Changsun Sheguan turned around and walked into the house. Qin Xiao followed Changsun Sheguan, and soon saw a antique imperial desk appeared in front of him. Two uniquely shaped copper cranes, light smoke from the inside of the crane mouth, and a scent of sandalwood is permeated in the royal study room.
On the imperial desk, memorials are piled up like a hill, and there are pens, inks, papers and inkstones. The black-clothed old **** is doing something by the copper cauldron in the corner at this time, while the saint is sitting behind the imperial desk. The lights were flipping through the memorials, and when Qin Xiao came in, the saint did not even lift his eyelids, and concentrated on reviewing the memorials.
The grandson Sheguan stopped, turned around, and gave Qin Xiao a wink. Qin Xiao grasped his mind, stepped forward, fell on his knees, and respectfully said: "Little minister Qin Xiao, knock on the saint, I Long live the emperor long live long live!"
