"As the saying goes, the ugly words come first," Yue'er said. "Even if the emperor learns the truth and wants to punish you, for the sake of your gift of treasure, he can be exempted from punishment or given a lighter sentence. It would be better to find out later. The truth...let us take more initiative!"
At this moment, Ma Qiancheng was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
Of course, whatever Yue'er said was whatever she said, and all she could do was nod her head.
At noon, Ma Qiancheng crushed the "miraculous medicine" Yue'er gave her, mixed it in the "sick meal", and gave it to Xiao Cai and several brothers.
When she crushed the "miracle medicine", she smelled a strong fruity aroma, sweet and refreshing.
"Impossible, how can there be such fresh fruit in this cold winter month!"
Ma Qiancheng shook his head and secretly licked the palm of his hand.
Hiss... sweet! Sweet and delicious, so delicious!
Like a cat, she licked her "paws" clean.
At that moment, she felt refreshed and her five senses were sharp!
God, this medicine is really amazing!
Just as Yue'er predicted, Xiaocai and the others, who were not acclimated to the climate and looked sick and wilted, were jumping to life that afternoon.
People who are not sick look more energetic than those who have not eaten sick meals!
"It would be great if Wen Jin could be stolen from the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion and stay with us..." Ma Qiancheng couldn't help but mutter.
"How are you preparing for the treasure presentation tomorrow?" Yue'er stretched out her hand and tapped her on the head, "When the imperial master is overthrown, of course my grandma will be able to be with us! The amazing thing about my grandma, There are so many!”
Ma Qiancheng nodded with confidence, "Don't worry Yue'er, I won't let everyone down!"
Yue'er smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous. The royal family is also a human being, and they also have to eat, drink, and defecate!"
"If you are nervous when meeting the emperor, just imagine him squatting in a pit, and you will not be nervous immediately!"
Ma Qiancheng: "...!!"
Shut up! Listen, does this sound like what a little girl said? !
…
The next day, Ma Qiancheng put on the clothes she had brought with her all the way and specially prepared for the face of the saint.
Of course, this set of clothes came from Jiang Ye's family.
The fabric is low-key and luxurious, and the workmanship is exquisite and beautiful.
She held a rosewood box in her arms, and in the box was a huge luminous pearl.
Yue'er could not go with her, so Ma Qiancheng only brought two calm brothers with her to the palace gate.
"The chieftain of Zhongzhou City, Ma Qiancheng, is here to offer a treasure to the emperor. Please let me know!"
Ma Qiancheng stood in front of the small door at the end of the five large arches of the palace gate and said to the guard guarding the door.
By chance, a crow-green sedan came out of the palace gate.
The people in the sedan opened the curtains, and inside was a man with a fair face but no beard.
When he opened his mouth, his voice was high-pitched, "What kind of treasure can be found in that sterile little place in Chungju City? Is it worthy of being presented to the emperor? You dare to collect any dirt or eggs from the palace."
As soon as Ma Qiancheng heard this voice and the dialect saying "坷巷地蛋", he immediately raised his hands and said, "My father-in-law is also from Zhongzhou?"
"Bah! The Zajia family didn't come from that dirty place!" The father-in-law slammed down the curtains, "Don't let them in, coax them away! Let's go!"
The one who left behind was giving orders to the bearer.
But when I saw the guards at the palace gate, they bowed to the father-in-law's sedan chair and said, "Eunuch Liu, go slowly."
Ma Qiancheng guessed that this father-in-law's status in the palace was probably not low.
Ma Qiancheng's two brothers were already anxious, "Sir, what should I do?"
"It's a bad start! We can't even send news through these palace gates... How can we have a chance to meet the saint?"
Ma Qiancheng was more anxious than them.
She had rehearsed and rehearsed so many times with Yue'er yesterday. After meeting the emperor, she was already familiar with what to say and how to behave...
But she never expected that she would not even be able to enter the palace, let alone see the emperor!
If this is the first step, it cannot be completed.
The follow-up, winning the emperor's trust, staying in Kyoto, and coordinating internal and external cooperation... are all empty talk?
"Eunuch! Eunuch, stay here! What a treasure!" Ma Qiancheng's mind became hot and he stepped forward to grab the sedan chair. "Although Chungju City is not a good place, this treasure was created by the mountain god when the villain was chasing the virgin who escaped into the mountains. Take it out!”
"If this thing is not rare, I will fight it or punish it...I am just worried that such a good treasure cannot be presented to the emperor, but will be ruined in my hands!"
"Stop-" The people in the sedan raised the curtains again.
Eunuch Liu in the sedan chair is none other than Liu Mao, the eunuch beside the emperor.
Liu Mao looked Ma Qiancheng up and down, "Let go, don't delay the Za family's affairs! If I delay, ten of your heads won't be enough to chop him off."
"Yes, my father-in-law's business is of course an important matter!" Ma Qiancheng quickly took out the rosewood box in his arms, opened it suddenly against the curtain of the sedan chair, "Presenting treasure to the emperor is also an important matter!"
"Shua——"
A soft ray of light almost blinded Liu Mao's eyes.
He couldn't help but widen his eyes and swallowed hard.
"Snapped!"
Before he could see the appearance of the night pearl clearly, Ma Qiancheng had already closed the lid.
Ma Qiancheng held his breath and stared at Liu Mao.
Liu Mao swallowed again, and after a while he came back to his senses, "Hey, there are a lot of these things in the palace!"
Although his tone was disdainful, the shock and greed in his eyes gave him away.
"It's not a rare thing, but since you are so filial, give it to me, and I will dedicate the Zajia family to the Holy One for you, and I will definitely speak kindly for you in front of the Holy One!" Liu Mao narrowed his eyes and said, "Chieftain of Zhongzhou City, Ma Thousand times, right? Remember it."
Liu Mao stretched out his hand and signaled Ma Qiancheng to hand the box to him.
Ma Qiancheng frowned... He had never expected that the first step into the palace to offer treasure would be so difficult!
This is Yue'er's baby! It was given to Yue'er by the big python!
Did they go through all the trouble to come to Kyoto to offer treasures?
Pooh! The dog emperor is not worthy! She is here to break into the enemy!
If a castrated dog took away their treasure, wouldn't all their efforts and Yue'er's treasure be in vain?
"What? You don't want to? Ha!" Liu Mao sneered, "Do you believe it or not, in a word from the Zajia family, you can't even stay in Kyoto, and yet you go to the palace to offer treasures? You don't even urinate and take care of yourself, are you worthy?" "
Ma Qiancheng hugged the box in her hand tightly and took a step back. She looked at Liu Mao with a cold face and slowly shook her head, "This treasure cannot be passed on to others. It must be presented to the emperor in person."
"Presumptuous!" Liu Mao slapped the car window angrily, "Who do you think you are?! You bitch, if you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine!"
"Come here! Beat this bastard who is causing trouble in front of the palace gate to death by the Za family and throw him into the moat!"
Liu Maonai was the favored eunuch beside the emperor.
The relationship between these eunuchs and the emperor is closer than that between the first-class officials and the emperor.
They are quite influential in the environment of the palace.
The guards in front of the palace gate listened to his instructions and immediately surrounded Ma Qian and three people without saying a word.
They were armed with spears and broadswords.
Ma Qian rode several people with his bare hands.
"Sir, what should I do? Should I fight or not?"
"Even if we fight, there are more than thirty of us, three of us. Can we beat them?"
The two brothers spoke anxiously in Ma Qiancheng's ears.
"A good man doesn't suffer the immediate consequences, otherwise..."
