Chapter 211

This is Wang Xiushu's second visit to the palace. The first time is to participate in the birthday banquet of Princess Qianyue with the old lady, but Wang Xiushu, the main hall of the palace, has never been there. She and Ruan Tianqi were outside the main hall, and Ruan Juan followed the ministers into the main hall.

Naturally, Wang Xiushu was not qualified to go to court. Although Ruan Tianqi was granted a general by himself, he had no real official position. He was still under King Jin, so he could not go to court.

Seeing that they were waiting for each other in the main hall, my father-in-law welcomed them with a smile: "I've heard about the name of the general for a long time, but now I see it's really extraordinary."

This father-in-law has red lips and white teeth. His face is like a fox, and his cunning is revealed on his face. Ruan Tianqi didn't want to compliment each other. He whispered back: "Mr. Li, I'm flattered."

Listen to Ruan Tianqi call out his taboo, Li Gong convention Mo some surprised: "general know our family?"

Ruan Tianqi naturally knew him. He was a red man in front of emperor Qing. He had come to Pingnan Marquis's mansion to read out the imperial edict that he was competent for the general's army. In Xijing camp, he often received the emperor's order to talk with King Jin about military affairs. Although Ruan tianqi never wanted to please him, he naturally remembered it several times.

"Li Gonggong's name is like thunder, and Tianqi naturally knows it." Ruan Tianqi road.

Li Gonggong smiles with satisfaction. If Ruan Tianqi's words are put in other people's mouth, he thinks it's to please him. However, Ruan Tianqi is neither humble nor arrogant. He looks like a gentleman, but Li Gonggong thinks he is telling the truth.

"The emperor and the ministers are still talking about things. The general and his wife wait patiently, and soon emperor Qing will summon them." Li Gong is just.

Ruan Tianqi nodded, and father-in-law Li had left to continue to do something. Wang Xiushu's heart is full of ups and downs. Since she came to Beijing, although she has seen a lot of markets and been to the Imperial Palace, she is just a woman. Now, she is more or less nervous.

Seeing Wang Xiushu's nervous look, Ruan Tianqi held her hand and said in a soft voice, "don't be afraid. The emperor will ask you some common words later. You can answer them with ease. King Jin and I will help you."

Wang Xiushu nodded. The temperature from Ruan Tianqi's palm reassured her, and her uneasiness weakened a lot. About a time of incense, Li Gonggong came out of the hall and said in a sharp voice: "it is said that Ruan Tianqi and Wang Xiushu entered the hall."

"It is said that Ruan Tianqi said," Wang Xiushu enters the hall. "

The eunuchs' voices spread from one eunuch to another. Ruan Tianqi turned his head and nodded to Wang Xiushu. They stepped into the main hall together. In the hall, the minister in court clothes stood on both sides, Emperor Qing sat in the center of the main hall, and he looked very dignified on the Dragon chair.

Ruan Tianqi and Wang Xiushu knelt on the ground and saluted emperor Qing.

"Minister Ruan Tianqi, long live your majesty, long live your majesty."

"Xiushu, Queen of the people, calls on your majesty. Long live your majesty."

Emperor Qing sat at a high place and looked at them. Although Ruan Tianqi was a general, he didn't see many sides. However, Ruan Tianqi's reputation was like thunder in the palace. Now that he had the chance, he wanted to take a good look.

"Flat." Qingdi road.

"Tianqi, I heard that you won Jinwang in Xijing camp?" Emperor Qing asked. The battle between Ruan Tianqi and King Jin started. King Jin was called the God of war in the barracks, and there was no one to fight. Now he lost to Ruan Tianqi, and the news spread all over the capital.

"My Lord, the king of brocade just let me be his minister." Ruan Tianqi's words were not modest. He knew that King Jin didn't use all his strength when he fought with King Jin. He just tested whether he had made progress. "If King Jin used all his strength, he would not win."

"Oh? Really? " Emperor Qing looked at King Jin with half faith and half doubt. King Jin stepped forward and said with a bright smile, "my Lord, Tianqi is humble. I really lost to Tianqi. I'm better than blue."

King Jin's words are not lies. He knows clearly in his heart that even if he uses all his strength, he may not be able to get benefits from Ruan Tianqi. Ruan Tianqi's rapid progress amazes him.

"Tianqi, don't be modest. Your husband and wife are famous in the capital. I've heard of you from many people." Emperor Qing said that he was deeply impressed by Wang Xiushu. When the ministers' daughters worshipped him, they were submissive and did not dare to look at him directly. Only Wang Xiushu had no timidity in her eyes. It's still fresh in his memory.

"I remember you. Your name is Wang Xiushu, right?" Emperor Qing looked at Wang Xiushu, who was standing in front of Ruan Tianqi with low eyes. Hearing the call of emperor Qing, Wang Xiushu came forward and said respectfully, "my Lord, it's the daughter of the people."

She was the same as that day, and there was no timidity in her speech when she saluted him. Emperor Qing had heard that Wang Xiushu came from the countryside, but she had more courage than Miss boudoir, which not only made emperor Qing curious: "are you not afraid of me?"

"My Lord, the women of the people are not afraid." Wang Xiushu returned, but her eyes were drooping. It's not because of timidity, but before she went out, mother Zhao warned her not to look directly at her majesty when she was on a pilgrimage to Beijing, otherwise she would be considered disrespectful. Wang Xiushu nodded and firmly remembered this rule in her heart.

"Look up at me." Emperor Qing looked at the little girl with great interest. Wang Xiushu raised her head and looked awed in her eyes. Emperor Qing is worthy of being a king, and his breath exudes out of place dignity, which makes Wang Xiushu respect. Wang Xiushu was naturally frightened.

The fear is not from fear, but from awe. Wang Xiushu is not a man of God. Although she was born again, she was just a country woman before her birth. Like most face saints, she was also timid, but she hid her timidity in her heart.

Because she knew that as an emperor, she wanted people to be in awe of him, not afraid of him. Only tyrants want to be afraid.

"It seems that you are not afraid of me. Is my dignity not enough?" Emperor Qing asked, his remarks are not dissatisfied with Wang Xiushu's attitude, but to explore with her. The woman who can make the king of brocade fancy is not an ordinary person.

"My Lord, although the women are not afraid of your majesty, your Majesty's holy power awes them." Wang Xiushu said, "now the world is peaceful and prosperous. It's a blessing for the women of the people to live in such a country. Your majesty is a king of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from awe, the women of the people can't be afraid."

Wang Xiushu praised emperor Qingdi's good governance, and praised emperor Qingdi as a king of Ming Dynasty. Such a remark won emperor Qingdi's heart, and Emperor Qingdi laughed: "this clever and sharp mouth is worthy of being the woman that King Jin likes."

"That's right. My adopted daughter is comparable to an ordinary woman." King Jin said.

Ruan Tianqi originally made a sweat for Wang Xiushu, but seeing that Wang Xiushu's reply was flowing, Ruan Tianqi was deeply impressed by Emperor Qing's heart.
