Chapter 518 The rain is about to come
Pei Yi was originally paying attention to this unique carriage in the army, so when the princess in the carriage raised her eyes to look at her, she suddenly met the other's eyes.
The princess was fair and beautiful, she smiled at her, and then withdrew the slender hand that was holding the curtain of the carriage.
The next moment, the curtain of the carriage fell down, directly blocking the prying eyes of people outside, making it difficult for people to see her shadow.
Pei Yi inexplicably felt that her heart was hooked, and she felt a little guilty for no reason.
Xiao Junji's gaze was firmly attached to her. Seeing that her expression was different at this moment, Xiao Junji teased with complicated emotions: "Mr. Pei, do you have a crush on Princess Zhenguo?"
Pei Yi's face became hot, and she said angrily: "How is it possible?"
Xiao Junji looked down at her suspiciously, and said with a vigilant face: "Why is it impossible? I see that you, Saburo, don't seem to reject the idea of 'grinding the mirror'."
The so-called mirror grinding refers to the friendship between two women. Because women and women are like looking in a mirror, it is called "mirror grinding".
Pei Yi said depressedly: "In addition to decorating your mind with romantic things, can't you decorate your mind with more serious business?"
Xiao Junji couldn't hold back his face, and said resentfully: "How can something related to you not be called a serious matter?"
Pei Yi suddenly heard the earthy love talk again, and her mood was very complicated.
She said helplessly: "Go home, let's go home."
If she stays any longer, she's really afraid that some greasy, crooked love stories will come out of this vinegar jar again.
Another compartment.
The army marched all the way to the outside of the imperial city.
The old emperor personally led all the civil and military officials to welcome the army at the gate of the palace—of course, to be precise, it was to welcome Princess Zhenuo.
The troops walking in front spread out from both sides, making way in a neat way.
The carriage that was escorted behind slowly drove along this road at this moment, and then stopped steadily.
The groom who drove the horse got out of the carriage and took out the horse stool, then the curtain of the carriage door was opened from the inside, and a young maid came out from inside, and then stood aside, respectfully helping Princess Zhen Guo to get off the carriage .
Most of the courtiers have actually never met Princess Zhen Guo herself. At most, they have only heard of this princess’s name, and then know that this princess is a bold person who dares to go to the front line.
But more, there is no way to know.
So, in fact, many courtiers are still quite curious about the princess of Zhen Guo, who is He Zunrong.
And when the princess finally got off the carriage, almost all the officials present gasped.
I saw Princess Zhen Guo walking slowly, step by step, with the support of the little maid.
At this moment, under such a strong visual impact, there is only one thought left in the heads of the ministers: the princess is so beautiful.
"It's a good thing that my son did not disgrace his mission." Princess Zhen Guo bowed to the emperor Yingying, like a gorgeous peony bent by the cool wind.
Her voice has a blunt brittleness, but at the same time, there is a faint charm, which is pleasant but also special.
"Please get up quickly." The old emperor couldn't bear Yan Luoyu to kneel down and salute him, and quickly helped him up.
The old emperor personally protected his "daughter" into the palace.
Everyone understands that the old emperor regards Princess Zhenguo as precious as a pearl, and the meaning of this may be quite far-reaching.
No princess would go to the front line to supervise the army for no reason.
The princess of Zhenguo took the initiative to make this request, I am afraid that she is quite ambitious.
But if His Majesty really had a brainstorm and appointed the princess as the "Prince", how will these ministers deal with themselves?
The old emperor didn't pay attention to the thoughts of the ministers.
He just happily welcomed his "daughter" into the palace, and very kindly helped her "daughter".
"My daughter is really capable." The old emperor was very proud when he said this, just like an old father who is proud of his daughter.
When Yan Luoyu heard the old emperor praise her repeatedly, he felt an indescribably warm feeling in his heart.
She called her uncle Yan Chongli "Daddy" since she was a child, but in fact she didn't get much paternal love from Yan Chongli.
More often, she read the calculation and hypocrisy from Yan Chongli.
It was really the first time for Yan Luoyu to experience a situation where she was truly being cared for as a "daughter".
She really regarded the old emperor as her father from the bottom of her heart, and every time she yelled "Father Emperor", she also sincerely yelled.
She sometimes wonders, if her biological father Yan Chongdao is still alive, will the word "father emperor" be changed to "godfather"?
There are not so many "ifs" in the world.
Her biological father died too early to talk about anything.
In the environment where the uncle was the father, Yan Luoyu knew from a young age that no one can be relied on, and only when he is in power can he be free and safe.
"Father, during the two months when my son and minister were away, have there been any major changes in the capital?" Yan Luoyu asked cautiously.
Although she herself has spies in Kyoto, she cannot guarantee that she will have all the important information. And the old emperor, as the highest authority in a country, must have more comprehensive control over the source of news than her, and the news he will get will be more timely.
"It's still the same." The old emperor shook his head slightly, but suddenly thought of something, and said seriously, "The rumors about Pei Sanlang being a woman in the capital are getting stronger and stronger. I want to find out whether this Pei Sanlang is a woman or not." Jiao'e."
Yan Luoyu's heart skipped a beat, and he asked calmly, "How does Emperor Father plan to investigate?"
The old emperor said with a half-smile: "It's so easy to prove a person's gender. I'll just call Pei Yi into the palace, and let a reliable old nanny verify the identity of 'him' on the spot, wouldn't that be enough?"
Yan Luoyu lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes blocked her eyes, making it difficult for people to see her expression clearly.
She whispered: "I'm afraid this method is not appropriate. After all, Pei Yi is a court official now. If it is because of rumors in the market, if a court official is directly asked to take off his clothes in public, I am afraid that it will lead to a life lawsuit."
The so-called "human life lawsuit" naturally means that the official who was asked to take off his clothes for a medical examination could not bear such "humiliation" and directly committed suicide on the spot.
It's not impossible.
After all, scholar-bureaucrats are very concerned about their reputation.
For a scholar-bureaucrat to undress in public, this really has a strong insult in it.
What's more, a man suspected of being a woman is already insulting enough.
The old emperor thought for a while, and still insisted: "I will not make Pei Sanlang feel humiliated. Now there are rumors about him everywhere in the market, and I try to give 'him' a body check, isn't it just to help 'him' break the rumors. "
