Chapter 205 Uncle
After other officials enter the palace, they are not qualified to ride horses or carriages.
No matter how long the journey is, you always need to walk.
The only people who can ride carriages in the palace are the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress, not even the Prince.
However, the emperor granted Pei Qingyan the qualification to ride a carriage into the palace.
Pei Qingyan arrived outside the Qianqing Hall and just got off the carriage. Following him was a small official from the Embroidery Department. Seeing the strong wind here, he put a cloak on him. Pei Qingyan gathered the cloak and covered it with all his strength. He covered his wound, and blood immediately seeped out from between his fingers.
The clerk's expression changed and he exclaimed: "Sir..."
Pei Qingyan raised his hand to signal him not to say more, and then he took a step and stumbled towards the Qianqing Hall.
"Your Majesty, Pei Qingyan, would like to see you."
He knelt on one knee outside the gate of Qianqing Hall.
Soon, Eunuch Fuquan hurried over from inside with a fly whisk in his hands. He helped Pei Qingyan up in fear and said urgently: "Master Pei, why is there such a big gift? His Majesty has been waiting for you inside for a long time. Please go in quickly. "
Pei Qingyan nodded and saluted Fuquan, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Only then did Fuquan see that there was blood on his shoulder and his face was very pale, as if he had been injured, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Master Pei is injured?"
Pei Qingyan smiled sadly, "I met a little thief, a little injury, it doesn't matter."
Fuquan's expression changed.
"It's bleeding, how can it be considered a minor injury? Mr. Pei, you..."
"Fuquan! I see that you are getting more and more verbose as you get older. Didn't you go out to pick up people? How come it's been so long and you're still here and you haven't come in?"
Emperor Duanming's majestic voice came from the inner hall.
Eunuch Fuquan was a little embarrassed, "Master Pei..."
"It's okay."
Pei Qingyan smiled lightly and then walked towards the inner hall.
"Yan'er pays homage to uncle."
He bowed his hands in salute and knelt on one knee.
Emperor Duanming was a little angry.
Angry that he didn't recognize people well, he introduced him to so many noble girls in the capital, and even let him know that he could choose any daughter's family in the capital that had not yet left the palace, and he would help him get married to any one he picked, regardless of whether the other party wanted it or not. willing.
But he didn't pick any of them. He went to a small place like Jizhou and fell in love with such a shameless woman.
Therefore, when Emperor Duanming was angry, he did not give Pei Qingyan any good looks.
Before she could even raise her eyes to look at him, she picked up a book on the table and threw it at him.
"Look at the good things your embroidery department has done recently!"
Pei Qingyan took the folder and opened it to take a look.
I saw that it was filled with the participation of courtiers, all of whom were impeaching their embroidery department.
They said he was arrogant and disrespectful of the law. They also said he arrested and imprisoned officials indiscriminately. Some even said he was secretly plotting rebellion...
Pei Qingyan touched his nose.
Seems a little aggrieved.
"Uncle, the words in these brochures are false at first glance. You don't really believe it, do you?"
When Emperor Duanming heard this, he became very angry.
He raised his head and was about to scold him when he suddenly saw the wound on Pei Qingyan's shoulder and his pale face, and was stunned.
His eyebrows wrinkled slightly.
"You are hurt?"
Pei Qingyan looked down at the blood on his left shoulder and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a small injury. It was bandaged before entering the palace. Maybe he was too happy at the thought of seeing his uncle, so he opened the wound without paying attention. I'll go back and ask the doctor to bandage it again, so it won't be a problem."
The anger in Emperor Duanming's eyes clearly dissipated, replaced by a trace of concern.
"Nonsense, your body, hair and skin are all inherited from your parents. Although I am not your parents, you have been raised by me since you were a child. If you are injured somewhere, wouldn't it be a waste of my love for your upbringing?"
Pei Qingyan did not refute, but smiled obediently and said, "Uncle is right."
Emperor Duanming snorted coldly and said to Fuquan: "Bring him a chair, and then send the imperial doctor over."
"Yes."
Eunuch Fuquan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them getting together. He personally brought a chair for him. After Pei Qingyan sat down, he went out to find the imperial doctor.
After Pei Qingyan sat down, Emperor Duanming asked in a deep voice: "You have been staying outside during this time, but you have something important to do?"
Pei Qingyan said: "We can't talk about important matters. They are just some trivial matters within the company. I have already given you a detailed report on the specific situation. You should have read it."
Emperor Duanming opened his eyes, revealing a few glimmers of light.
"Except for what's in the book, is there nothing else holding you back?"
Pei Qingyan was stunned.
He was too familiar with Emperor Duanming, so when Emperor Duanming showed that expression, he subconsciously sensed something was wrong.
However, Pei Qingyan still said: "No, I can swear that I have been busy with official duties outside the country and have never used public services for personal gain. Your Majesty, could it be that someone has made slanderous lies in front of you and slandered me? You must never believe it. I will supervise all officials for you. I am I have offended a lot of people, and a lot of people want to let me die. If not, how could I be assassinated when I came to Beijing this time, so you must not fall into their trap."
Pei Qingyan said sincerely.
The naturally changed title meant that he was now speaking to the king as a minister.
The positions are different, and the meanings expressed are naturally different.
How could Emperor Duanming not understand?
Is this kid scared?
Humph.
He snorted coldly, but he still couldn't help but feel soft towards his only nephew.
"Okay, what about being disobedient? I said that as long as no outsiders are around, you don't have to abide by those etiquette rules. From now on, you will still call me Yan'er in front of me. By the way, at the last palace banquet, you left the capital because of something urgent. I gave you You didn't go to the meeting you arranged. Now that you're back this time, you should take good care of yourself. By the way, see if there is any noble lady in the capital that you can like. If there is, come and tell me. I will make the decision for you. Granted marriage. How old are you now? If you don’t have a family, are you waiting to die alone?"
Pei Qingyan pursed his lips.
He actually wanted to tell Song Anning.
He wanted to say that he already had someone in mind and didn't need to worry about the emperor's uncle.
But he also knew that he had not expressed his feelings to Song Anning, and it was not appropriate to say it at this time.
Secondly, I don’t know if the emperor’s uncle can accept Song Anning’s identity. If not...
Pei Qingyan sighed silently in his heart.
In the end, he could only say: "Yes, Yan'er knows."
Emperor Duanming hummed, and at this moment, the imperial doctor finally arrived.
Emperor Duanming pointed at Pei Qingyan, "Show him, this stinky boy just doesn't care about his body. I have said many times that you can send people under you to deal with many matters. If you don't have anyone under you, go to my guards." If you choose from the army, I will give it to you whoever I choose, and you have to do everything yourself, so why do I give you so much power? Is it just for decoration?"
