Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. An Xili thought she could resist the will, but in fact she was too naive.
The emperor announced his meeting, and she had to meet him.
So, she was taken directly to the palace without bothering Eunuch Fu, but she also had someone notify her eldest sister and Gong Jin before she left.
She had never entered the palace before, and she was afraid of losing her etiquette. Fortunately, she learned from others, and Mrs. Gongsun taught her, so she straightened her back, neither humble nor overbearing, and looked contented.
An Xili was afraid of being rude in front of the palace, so she chose a set of elegant and decent dresses to wear. After dressing up, all the embroiderers in the embroidery studio were shocked. Her skin was delicate, her expression was leisurely, and her behavior was elegant and dignified. , and exuding an aura of lightness, with a light application of powder and daisy, she is already beautiful.
An Xili inherited her mother's excellent genes, and her whole body exudes the quiet beauty of a woman from a Jiangnan water town.
When she appeared in front of the emperor, she realized that the emperor not only wanted her to appear in the palace alone, but that there were also some noble ladies covered in fine clothes in the palace.
Eunuch Fu quickly introduced her and said, "Miss An, please come to His Majesty."
An Xili lowered her head slightly, keeping her eyes on her toes, and knelt down to the emperor in a polite manner, "Your Majesty An Xili is here to see the emperor."
"Raise your head." The emperor said solemnly.
At this time, An Xili raised her head slightly. When she saw the emperor's appearance clearly, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She had met "him" in Gong Jin's Villa. At first, the emperor said that he was Gong Jin's adoptive father, but it turned out that he was Gong Jin's adoptive father. emperor.
But he was instantly covered up by her and became calm again.
"Your manners are very good. I heard that you have been trained by Mrs. Gongsun." Nangong Nan asked. She is also pretty and can barely be his daughter-in-law.
An Xili added: "Reporting to the emperor, Mrs. Gongsun is my master, and my embroidery was taught by my master."
Nangong Nan said: "I announce that you will enter the palace, what do you think?"
An Xili was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have to see you." In fact, she didn't want to come. She felt that she would never enter the palace or see the emperor.
Immediately afterwards, she added: "I know that my status is humble and I am not qualified to see the Holy Face. It is my honor to be honored by Your Majesty."
There was a slight anger in Nangong Nan's eyes. An Yuxiao's daughter had a very bad temper and would always say that she and Jin'er had no status. They were inseparable and had no rules. Jin'er was also taught bad things by her. For her sake, even the prince No more identity.
However, Nangong Nan would argue with her for the sake of her father and sister. The Northern Dynasty still needed King Nan to guard it for him.
So, even though Nangong Nan was a little angry, he still said in a friendly manner: "I heard that your embroidery skills are superb, so I specially asked you to sew the dragon robe for me with the embroiderer in the palace. After you sew it, I will naturally reward you. .”
The implication is that if the sewing is broken, there will be punishment.
An Xili felt very helpless. Does the dragon robe still need the emperor to personally appoint an embroiderer?
I'm afraid that the emperor's drunkard's intention is not to drink, but she has been implicated by Gong Jin, and the emperor wants to deliberately make things difficult for her.
But she couldn't refuse, otherwise she would be resisting the decree.
Nangong Nan saw her eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking, is she going to resist the order?
"My daughter is willing to give it a try." She was full of confidence. After finally entering the palace, she could not lose the master's face or be scolded by the master after she left.
Nangong Nan was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his lips, he was quite brave.
The emperor then said: "Their embroidery work is also very exquisite. You can work together in the palace to complete my dragon robe as soon as possible. It must be completed before the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."
After that, Eunuch Fu introduced the person in purple clothes as Chen Yaoyao, the daughter of the Minister of Industry, the person in pink clothes as Wu Jing, the daughter of General Wu, the person in pink clothes as Li Ying'er, the daughter of Li Shangshu, and seven or eight more...
She took a closer look and saw that some of them looked familiar, as if they had seen them somewhere. They all bowed to each other in front of the emperor.
After another round of greetings, the emperor excused himself, and then the nuns from Si Xiufang came to take them out.
After An Xili and others left, Nangong Nan approached Mr. Fu and said, "If he is not willing to come back to share my worries this time, I will kill his sweetheart."
Eunuch Fu's face was full of charm, but his expression was still very attentive: "His Majesty is still scheming, and this is how the Sixth Prince must be treated."
The emperor's scheme against his own son was very ambitious.
In these years, only the son who was demoted to a commoner had a closer relationship with the emperor. Eunuch Fu followed the emperor out of the palace for a long time to meet with the sixth prince. The emperor felt the affection between father and son in the sixth prince, so his feelings for the sixth prince were related to Different.
If he is really killed, I am afraid that the relationship between father and son will no longer be there.
Eunuch Fu understood and saw through that the emperor just wanted to force the sixth prince to come back.
In fact, an imperial edict could solve the problem, but the emperor was too bored and had to do something to make the sixth prince come back willingly.
On the other side, in the Nanwang Mansion, An Xiyue didn't pay much attention when he received the news from An Xili.
Compared with the emperor's petty tricks, it is more important for her to spend time with her children at the moment.
The emperor wants to fight with Nangong Jin, which is their father and son's business. As for An Xili, it's time for her to go out and see the world. If she wants to marry Nangong Jin, naturally she can't hide behind Nangong Jin and be a little girl.
I heard that the emperor also prepared many noble girls for Nangong Jin, and Li'er wants to compete with them for men.
The emperor could not embarrass her and end up making things difficult for others.
Therefore, An Xiyue very calmly said to the maid who came to deliver the news: "I understand."
The maid only received three words and left in confusion.
-
At the same time, Gong Jin also quickly got the news that he could not enter the palace without being informed, so he came to Nanwang Mansion again and saw An Xiyue.
An Xiyue said directly: "Your father wants to take a concubine for you. Let Li'er go meet someone and bring him back if he is satisfied with it." In fact, she had heard about it a long time ago. The emperor had already started preparing a wife for Nangong Jin, but The position was taken by Li'er, and when she regained her identity later on, she would naturally marry a concubine or something.
When Gong Jin heard this, he immediately became anxious: "I don't want to take a concubine, so I just said it. It's good for me to be a commoner. When I get the title, I can be a minor official to share his worries."
"Princess Nan, Li'er is your biological sister. You don't care about this matter. You just let the emperor do whatever he wants. She has never been in the palace. What if the emperor threatens her or she is bullied?"
"Go and save her yourself!" An Xiyue saw that he was very anxious and wanted to stimulate him.
"If I could enter the palace, I would have entered the palace long ago," he said.
"So you should be the emperor's son again. With the status of prince, it will be easier for you to enter the palace. With your noble status, you can marry more aunts to serve you." An Xiyue said deliberately.
Nangong Jin said angrily: "You don't even believe me, so why are you betrothing Li'er to me?"
