Chapter 216: Take action when it's time to take action
Chapter 216: Take action when it's time to take action
Dudu Mansion.
Zong Zhengxi was woken up by his maid.
He suffered a lot yesterday. When he opened his eyes, he felt sore all over, and he seriously didn't get enough sleep.
He felt a little refreshed.
Lu Yuan sat on the chair and said calmly: "If it's too late, you'll be late for the court."
Zong Zhengxi yawned and looked at the dark sky: "So early..."
Lu Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "This is not a palace. We will have to delay some time on the way, so we have to be early."
Zong Zhengxi said drowsily: "Can't you take a day off?"
Lu Yuan said: "No."
Zong Zhengxi got off the bed aggrievedly.
Yesterday's clothes couldn't be worn anymore, so Lu Yuan asked someone to prepare a new set for him. He dawdled over it, as if he didn't want it.
Lu Yuan put the teacup on the table: "Your Majesty, you'd better hurry up. You have to change into your dragon robe when you enter the palace later."
Zong Zhengxi curled his lips resentfully, opened his arms, and asked the maid to help him change clothes.
When I finished washing and went out, the sky was still dark.
Zong Zhengxi asked doubtfully: "Do you get up so early every day?"
He thought he had gotten up early enough in the palace, but when he thought about it carefully, he went to court just from his bedroom to the Jinluan Palace. Lu Yuan lived outside the palace, but he always arrived earlier than him.
Lu Yuan said: "The Governor's Mansion is relatively close. Some ministers live far away. They can go to court at Mao time, and they can afford it at Yin time. Your Majesty, have you ever seen ministers who are late?"
Zong Zhengxi fell silent.
He always felt that being an emperor was tiring, but when he went out of the palace, he realized that the common people had their own sufferings, and the ministers had their own hard work.
Lu Yuan glanced at him: "Your Majesty, it's time to leave."
"Um."
Zong Zhengxi followed Lu Yuan out of the yard obediently.
Thinking of something, he asked Lu Yuan: "By the way, where is your grandpa?"
Lu Yuanfeng said calmly: "Going for a walk."
That's what the old man said. If he says another word, the two of them will start **** again.
Zong Zhengxi looked shocked: "Everyone in your family gets up so early."
That's not true. For example, his mother can sleep until midnight.
When they were about to board the carriage, Banxia hurriedly caught up with a food box: "Uncle, the snacks prepared by the lady are for you and the young master to fill your stomachs on the way."
Lu Yuan nodded.
Zong Zhengxi was a little envious: "Is it only because I'm here today, or do you have it every day?"
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course it happens every day."
Do you think you're special, kid?
"I don't even have to eat until I go to court."
This is the rule of the imperial palace. The emperor can only eat in the rear when he comes to court.
Thinking about it this way, Zong Zhengxi felt that Lu Yuan was not so miserable anymore. At least he could eat something on the way.
"I'm hungry."
Zong Zhengxi said.
Lu Yuan frowned, reluctantly opened the food box, picked out the smallest snack for a long time, and handed it to him.
Zong Zhengxi: “…”

As soon as the two of them left, Bai Yuwei came to the door.
She was wearing Miao clothes and claimed to be the daughter of the Miao king. The gatekeeper did not dare to neglect her and invited her to sit in the flower hall, and immediately went to report to Manager Cen.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yuwei was not unreasonable at all. She grabbed the boy and asked, "Call Lu Yuan out!"
The young man said: "The Governor has gone to court. He has just left. If the girl is looking for my Governor, you can chase her by yourself. If you are fast, you should be able to catch up."
Bai Yuwei scolded: "Why am I chasing him? I'm not here to find him!"
The boy was confused: "Didn't you just...who are you looking for?"
Bai Yuwei let go of the servant: "Where is Meng Qianqian? Lu Yuan is not here, ask her to come out and see me!"
The boy replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "May I ask if you have a greeting card, please?"
It's OK to cause trouble to the Governor, but not to the Young Madam.
"Why don't you give me a greeting?" Bai Yuwei got impatient, pushed the boy away and walked in, "Meng Qianqian, come out!"
-
"Young Madam! Young Madam is not well!" A maid hurried to Tinglan Courtyard.
Baoshu woke up a little early today, and Meng Qianqian was tying her pigtails.
After hearing the maid's report, she handed Baoshu to Aunt Li: "Let Banxia pierce it for you. It will be beautiful."
Baoshu patted herself: "It's beautiful."
Meng Qianqian couldn't help laughing, pinched her soft little face, and left the room.
"What's the matter?"
she asked.
The maid said: "There is a Miao man from outside. He claims to be some kind of Miao daughter. Now he is looking for the governor, and now he is looking for the young madam. He even got into a fight with Fugui and the others!"
Fugui is one of the gatekeepers.
Meng Qianqian said calmly: "Take me to see it."

The maid responded: "Yes, young lady!"
Bai Yuwei was rampaging all the way, and when Meng Qianqian saw her, her whip was about to fall on Manager Cen's head.
Meng Qianqian grabbed her whip.
Bai Yuwei tugged and took a closer look: "Is it you? You are finally willing to come out!"
Manager Cen raised his hands and saluted: "Young Madam."
Meng Qianqian said: "Manager Cen, you take them to deal with their injuries first, and leave it to me to deal with them here."
"Eh."
Steward Cen hurriedly called to the guards to take away the boys who had been whipped.
"You dare to stop me?"
"I'm saving you."
Meng Qianqian shook off her whip coldly, "You even dare to beat Manager Cen, you are really good at pulling out tiger whiskers!"
"What kind of person has a beard but not a beard? I..." Bai Yuwei almost let it slip and immediately changed her words, "Did you bring back an old farmer yesterday?"
Since her grandfather's identity was not revealed, she couldn't reveal it without permission.
Meng Qianqian gave her a confused look. How could Bai Yuwei know about this?
"What do you want?"
Bai Yuwei said arrogantly: "Where is the man? I want to see him!"
Meng Qianqian's eyes flashed with suspicion, and she said without changing her expression: "It's not up to you."
Bai Yuwei said disdainfully: "You don't want to detain someone, do you? Ah, I understand, are you playing some dirty trick? I warn you, give up on this idea as soon as possible! You can't flatter me!"
"oh?"
It seems that she guessed it correctly. Grandpa's identity is indeed not simple.
Meng Qianqian wiped her lips calmly with a handkerchief, and said with a faint smile: "Who are you to dare to speak like this?"
Bai Yuwei said disdainfully: "I'm afraid if I tell you, I'll scare you to death!"
Baoshu waved her little arms and said fiercely, "I'm scaring you!"
"Ouch, little ancestor, this is not the place for us to play."
Aunt Wan was halfway through eating the melon when she was exposed by Baoshu, so she had to hug the young lady and leave in despair.
Bai Yuwei said in disgust: "There are actually children."
Her grandfather hated children the most, so she had to pick him up quickly.
"I'm warning you one last time."
"Let me warn you one last time."
"If you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
"My defeated general will speak nonsense, so why should I be afraid?"
"You you you-"
Bai Yuwei jumped up in anger and whipped Meng Qianqian!
Meng Qianqian stopped being polite to her, took out the dagger from her waist, and cut off her whip with one slash!
Bai Yuwei's face changed: "My whip! The whip my grandfather gave me! This is a gift from our Miao Territory. You are dead!" (End of Chapter)
