The sword god brushed the Taoist robe

First there was the governor of the East Factory, and then there was the commander of Jinyiwei. If the people in the side hall still can't see anything, they are really ashamed of their qualifications to be able to enter the side hall.

Although Xia Ningru, the Marquis of Shunning, acted in a low-key manner, first of all, it was very eye-catching to have three people, one big, one small, and three people, who were so similar in appearance. Secondly, Xia Ningru was the one among the people who were already showing signs of aging and even looked like a dragon. You look extremely young, but you are calm, courteous, introverted and humble, without the arrogance of someone in power, and you always feel a little out of place in the palace.

In fact, everyone who can enter the side hall knows that the people in the hall are all in power, they can be said to be people standing on the pinnacle of power, but Xia Ningru has not appeared for a long time, and they were not sure why this person appeared here , not to mention the true attitude of the emperor, and Xia Ningru, who is polite but vaguely rejects people thousands of miles away, so most of the winners gathered back in their team with a nod. In fact, the eunuchs of Dongchang and Jin Yiwei sometimes don't even look down on them, but they treat the Marquis of Shunning so courteously, which can explain what the current world treats the Marquis of Shunning who has retired for more than ten years manner.

Regardless of whether the title of the Marquis of Shunning is not high or low, but the holy family obtained by the old Marquis of Shunning is indeed enviable. If the tragedy of family ruin and death did not happen back then, it seems that the young Marquis of Shunning would have been a long time ago. An extremely human minister.

Qiu Wandai's ears were extremely sensitive. Although he was mentally exhausted and sleepy, the whispers of everyone could almost reach his ears.

Soon he discovered that it was not that there were few people in the palace, but that even though eunuchs brought people in one after another, the number of people who came in was still very small, which seemed to be different from the fact that Xia Ningru told him yesterday that all civil and military officials had to participate. Same diameter.

And he also discovered the part that Xia Ningru didn't tell him, that the people who can enter here are not ordinary officials, among them are the relatives of the emperor, the generals of Jinwuwei, the grand tutors, and the state officials, such as Xia There are also marquises like Ningru, most of them are in small groups, and in fact, looking at it this way, their respective party members are quite clear, only Xia Ningru led them and they can be called "alone and weak".

With those two acting like this, no matter how calm the people in the hall were, they seemed to be ready to move. It seemed imperative to win over this Marquis of Shunning who seemed to have retired for more than ten years, but they had already missed it. the best time.

The noisy voices outside the hall gradually faded away, and after a short while, Si Chenlang announced the time outside the hall, there was an ups and downs, and then fell into a moment of silence.

The sky is slightly bright, and the drum is beginning to be strict.

A eunuch came from outside the gate of the side hall to lead the way. Accompanied by the solemn and undulating drumbeat, everyone was led outside the gate of the Huangji Hall, and lined up according to the queue they had lined up earlier in the morning.

The sound of the drums changed from strong to weak, and then from weak to strong, shocking and exciting.

The morning sun pushed away the clouds and mists with the sound of drums, and gradually illuminated the earth.

Xia Ningru's ranking is not considered high. After all, he was only a marquis without entering the court, but he stood at the head of the princes. Qiu Wandai didn't understand these things, but he could hear Xia Ningru pointing at his superiors. The one in the first place seems to be Xie Guogong or something.

The drum suddenly stopped, and then Qiu Wandai heard the drum frame being knocked twice. He was thinking whether the emperor was coming, but he heard the drum again and again, stopped again, and repeated it again. The salute officer came from the front and asked the emperor respectfully. The sound of entering the Huangji Hall, followed by the sound of neutral music.

Qiu Wandai was awakened by the sound of the drums, but he didn't really understand it. Even if he saw people kneeling, he would kneel down with Xia Qin. , and no one could hear it anyway.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with him imitating Xia Ningru's movements, but it has to be said that participating in this kind of ceremony is to toss people half to death, and then he has to participate. Qiu Wandai thought that if it happened again, he would definitely Pretending to be sick and not participating, anyway, there are so many people here, one more person is not too many, one less person is not much.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, Qiu Wandai finally heard someone say Li Cheng. At this time, Xia Qin, who was still young, was almost unable to stand still. Qiu Wandai gave him some insides by his side, dredging his meridians , finally made his face regain some blood.

Xia Ningru had told him before that they were not allowed to leave after attending the ceremony. Seeing that many people were happy to leave, Qiu Wandai could only lead Xia Qin to follow Xia Ningru and the group just now. The people who were in the temple with them shuttled through the huge Forbidden City.

He had been to the Forbidden City before, but when he went, the Forbidden City had been repaired countless times, but there were still many unopened places, and the place the eunuch took them to seemed to be the unopened places. I defaulted to the road in my heart, while looking after the situation of the little guy who looked quite tired.

Fortunately, although they couldn't leave the palace, they didn't want to meet the saint immediately or do something. The leading eunuch took them to a palace, and asked other palace people to serve them with tea and snacks.

Qiu Wandai yawned, and this yawn also infected Xia Qin. Xia Qin's eyes were gurgling, and soon his eyes were full of tears. He got off the chair and ran to Xia Ning with his short legs. in front of you.

Xia Ningru picked him up habitually, and he lay on Xia Ningru's shoulders. After a long while, his little head tilted and he stopped moving. Qiu Wandai was trying to pull himself together. This child's movement made him Coke, and finally sober again.

He moved closer to Xia Ningru, and asked in an almost whispering voice how long they had to stay before leaving, did they really have to stay until night?

Xia Ningru touched his head and shook his head, and comforted him very gently: "After you go back, you and Xia Qin have a good rest, even if it's too early to take you out to pay New Year's greetings."

Qiu Wandai stared at him blankly, did he plan to take them out before?

Xia Ningru smiled, "It's only one day, bear with it."

In fact, people who practice martial arts are not so easily tired, but this ceremony is not only a physical torment, but also a mental toss. Hearing what Xia Ningru said, Qiu Wandai began to open his eyes and began to silently recite Tai Chi formulas, In addition to calming down, it can also dredge the internal force within a j□j.

At this time, the rest of the people in the palace had already rested enough, so they just ran over to continue the unfinished greetings with Xia Ningru.In fact, this had nothing to do with Qiu Wandai, who knew that someone was looking for him, and the person who was looking for him was several years older than him, so he couldn't refuse. In fact, when others were looking for him, he didn't realize it at all. This man was looking for him.

The first person who came to him introduced himself as if he was the son of an earl. Qiu Wandai didn't know much about these things, and he was upset about the people who disturbed his practice. The so-called non-speculative words are more than half a sentence, but this person is getting more frustrated and courageous, as if he wants to dig out all the secrets of the Shunning Hou Mansion from him before giving up.

Qiu Wandai, who felt that socializing was abusive: "..."

I don't know if it's because others saw that the earl's eldest son was not rejected, and many people came forward to try to get close, Qiu Wandai's mouth froze, and he almost escaped by urinating, but it's a pity when he remembered this excuse At that time, the eunuchs outside began to report the arrival of the current emperor from far to near to the inside.

Now it's all right, the people gathered around him scattered like birds and beasts, allowing him to breathe a breath of fresh air.

After finally listening to the emperor's old man talk until lunch time, Qiu Wandai tragically found that there was not much material in front of him, and the dish was small and delicate, commonly known as... not enough to eat at all.

The point is that this luncheon is very, very long, and there are even inspiring song and dance performances to watch.

Xia Ningru seemed to see through his embarrassment, and shook his head at him to appease him again: "When you return home, let the housekeeper do more for you, now you can't be rude in front of others."

Xia Qin stared at them with wide eyes, secretly put his vegetarian dishes in front of Qiu Wandai, and then blinked and watched the song and dance performance in front of him, as if the change of dishes just now hadn't happened.

Qiu Wandai's heart felt warm, and he couldn't help but patted his little brother's head.

Just as the singing and dancing were on the rise and the joy was lively, the situation in the singing and dancing girls' dance formation suddenly changed, and one of them ran towards the throne with a fan in his hand.

And at that moment, Xia Ningru suddenly flipped his hands towards the table, and with a tumbling, he went towards the dancer who had shown a murderous look. Ning Ru's actions.

The Jin Yiwei at the side naturally also swarmed up, Xia Ningru turned his hands to repel the dancers, and landed firmly on the Danchi in front of the emperor's throne, protecting the emperor who had been protected by the Jin Yiwei behind him.

Qiu Wandai originally wanted to go to help, but Xia Qin who was beside him was already frightened by the scene in front of him, and grabbed his sleeve, Qiu Wandai looked at Xia Ningru who was not far away, who was at ease, He looked at the stiff little guy again, and decisively hugged the little guy in his arms.

Xia Qin lay in his arms, and seemed to be much quieter.

Qiu Wandai thought for a while, leaned into Xia Qin's ear and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?" He didn't forget Xia Qin's performance before. I am used to big scenes, so how could I be frightened by the current battle.

Xia Qin shook his head, and said crisply: "Brother, don't leave me."

Qiu Wandai's mind is at ease, as long as he is not afraid, he has time to observe Xia Ningru's movements at this time.

The dancer's movements were sharp and fierce, and there were almost no unnecessary movements, but Xia Ningru faced several of them, but she really wanted to help the Jin Yiwei who was already in a mess.

In fact, Qiu Wandai saw Xia Ningru fight for the first time. This person's martial arts are already high, so I don't know if he has sacrificed much strength now, but this person's martial arts are decisive and sharp.
