The person who came had a very stern face, and the tip of his nose and jaw were as sharp as bayonets. He only raised his head and glanced, and the atmosphere in the pavilion became a little weird.
This middle-aged man has black hair, but his pupils have a hint of dark blue.
An extremely strong sense of oppression spread throughout Han Dongwen's body, as if his body was resisting his own will, trying to curl up tighter with all his strength.
"I've met Mr. Souji."
Wen Yongxing and Zhong Lilin both nodded in unison.
Han Dongwen gritted his back teeth calmly. He didn't know this character, let alone how Lord Wen got along with him before.
But based on the two seconds he waited, the man stood straight and showed no intention of kneeling to him, and judging from the behavior of Wen and Zhong, even a fool knew that this man was more impressive than him.
"You're here."
He nodded slightly. His words were very ambiguous, polite, and not too licky. It was within the level that Han Dongwen himself estimated would work.
The man looked at Han Dongwen intently for a few seconds and nodded slightly.
Han Dongwen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned his head to look at Xiao Hongdou, and said sternly: "Kneel down."
The maid entered the Yingchun Palace and went straight to the harem. According to common sense, she did not need to meet other officials. She only recognized Taishu Pavilion because the emperor "may go". Xiao Hongdou was still in a daze, but when Han Dongwen said this, she hurriedly He knelt down on his knees and saluted.
"This slave has met your master."
Which adult is this?
Little Hongdou was beating a drum in her heart.
The walls of this harem are really high.
"Lord General" turned his head and looked around, walked forward slowly, raised his hand and patted Han Dongwen's shoulder gently.
He patted it very lightly, but Han Dongwen felt it was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Then, the general manager gently held the desk, took two steps slowly, turned around and sat on the main seat.
The chair that had been empty all morning made a sudden noise in the quiet library.
Mr. Tantai, the General Secretary.
This short sentence is all Han Dongwen knows so far.
Is the General Secretary the largest official among the three divisions?
He is dressed in black and red robes. Is he the commander-in-chief of the National Military Department?
Master Tantai, what is your name?
How much power is in the hands of the director-general of the National Defense Department?
Han Dongwen's scalp was numb and his face was smiling brightly.
"Your Highness, I heard that you received the Immortal Gift from Taishu Pavilion yesterday and took the initiative to come here today, but what do you think about the arrangements for the Immortal Dian?"
While Master Tantai was talking, he did not look at Han Dongwen. He just glanced at the eaves and buildings of Taishu Pavilion, studying almost every inch.
"Nothing."
Han Dongwen said hurriedly: "Yesterday I drank too much in the dormitory. When I woke up, I forgot many of the arrangements I had made. After all, it is a big deal to invite the immortal. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it should not be delayed, so I thought to confirm it. Please excuse me. The two adults of Taishu Pavilion."
Mr. Tantai tilted his head slightly: "It's naturally a good thing that Your Highness is so refined, drinking and having fun. Why would Taishu Pavilion find it troublesome?"
Hearing what he said, Zhong Lilin reacted first, lowered his head and said: "Of course not, sir, please rest assured that there will be no mistakes in inviting Xiandian."
After hearing this, Mr. Tantai ignored Zhong Lilin and only raised his eyebrows: "Your Highness, your ears are... Could it be that something went wrong in the Xiu Department and an assassin entered the harem?"
If something went wrong with the Xiubu under the National War Department and an assassin was brought in, he, the commander-in-chief in charge of the National War Department, would be directly responsible.
He asked as casually as if you had eaten.
"You are joking."
Han Dongwen grinned and waved his hand: "I drank too much and pricked my ear with a woman's hairpin by mistake. It still hurts now. I'm laughing!"
The words floated into Xiao Hongdou's ears, but she only wondered in her heart: His Highness clearly didn't drink at all last night, so why did he talk so nonsense and look ugly?
But although she was young, she still had good eyesight, and she didn't do anything extraordinary. She just felt that the fatuous tyrant seemed to be somewhat different from what people said.
"Your Highness drinks a lot of wine, but it seems he also drinks a lot of tea."
Han Dongwen's heart skipped a beat. When he looked up, he saw that Director Tantai's eyes had glanced at the four teacups on the table.
The extra one is for Little Red Bean as usual!
"Is it possible that there are still guests coming to Taishu Pavilion today?"
The corners of General Tantai's mouth turned up, but there was no smile at all in his eyes.
Han Dongwen's head buzzed.
Is this for you?
There was clearly tea in there.
I use this cup to reward the maid?
This is not what Lord Wen should do at all!
It doesn't hurt to test it a little in front of Wen Yongxing and the others. Taishuge will definitely not be in power, but what will he think in front of the chief executive?
Beads of sweat almost broke out on his forehead.
He also thought about what would happen if Zhong Lilin took this opportunity to say a few more words to retaliate against him?
"This is……"
He was about to speak when he suddenly heard a timid voice coming from behind.
"Sir, please forgive me for talking too much. This cup is not for guests to drink."
It was Xiao Hongdou who spoke.
She only knew that the director-general was unkind and meant to make things difficult for her. She was already very frightened, and when she saw him asking about the extra cup, she was afraid that she would not be able to escape the blame.
And His Highness kindly gave me tea, could he also be implicated?
"Is it?"
General Manager Tantai glanced at Xiao Hongdou, and then returned to Han Dongwen.
"Exactly, the Bianzhou tea ceremony has a saying of 'tea purification'. It is said that tea cannot be drunk the first time it is brewed. It must be poured. However, the aroma of some teas is best after the first brew. Therefore, there is a cup of tea that is poured after the first brew. Not drinking tea, just enjoying the aroma of tea.”
Her voice was trembling slightly, but she finally spoke completely.
Cha Di was not lying when she said it, it was just up to her preference whether to pour the tea for the first time or keep a cup to taste the aroma. These adults did not ask for it, so she had already poured the tea for the first time today.
Han Dongwen listened more seriously than Director Tantai, and after Xiao Hongdou finished speaking, he was beating drums in his heart.
Even more urgent!
Although these words relieved the situation, the girl Xiao Hongdou didn’t know where Wen and Zhong were standing!
If Wen and Zhong stood up and said she was talking nonsense, this crime would be more serious than the crime of deceiving the emperor.
He only has this one acquaintance!
but……
But if the two of them did not speak, does it mean that they are not on the side of the General Secretary?
Han Dongwen would never want to take the initiative to risk other people's lives for such a thing, but now this teacup, big or small, seemed to be able to taste Taishuge's attitude.
He swallowed and looked up at General Tantai.
——————
A beautiful horse rides on the bluestone road.
The horse's coat is shiny and dark, as if dyed with ink, and its limbs are well-proportioned and strong. If you look closely, you can see that this black horse has a black-red sharp horn on its forehead, and deep in its eyes, it looks like black pearls. Flashing like bright red lightning.
Sitting immediately was a young man wearing a dark blue robe. He was only in his early twenties and always had a smile on his face, as if he was about to ride a horse to his favorite theater to listen to a play.
Some soldiers guarding the palace gate saw the black horse from a distance and knew that it was the young master Tantai Ming, the son of the commander-in-chief Tantai Fu.
Tantai Ming liked this horse very much. His father brought him back from Taka.
Now Tantai Ming was riding this horse and stepped straight into the Yingchun Palace.
Behind him, there were seven or eight soldiers who also rode horses, all wearing black and red armor. From a distance, you could tell that they were the elite of the National Military Division.
When the group of people entered Yingchun Courtyard, Mi Niangniang was already waiting there with several maids.
"Lord Tantai."
Mi Niangniang bowed and was about to say politely: "Long time no see, you again..."
"No need, I'm very busy today."
Tantai Ming did not dismount, but smiled at Mi Niangniang: "Is it convenient for the girls to come out?"
The smile on Mi Niangniang's face froze, she recovered and nodded.
The maids and maids gradually walked out of the Yingchun Palace, but their faces became paler one by one.
Tantai Ming looked at these girls, narrowed his eyes, and seemed to smile more happily.
I wonder if today, any palace maid will be caught with a dragon seed that she shouldn’t be pregnant with?
