Chang'an City will definitely be very lively tonight. Ning Que was very tired after a night of fighting, but the sword light and blood on the rainy night made him a little excited. He imagined the scene that was happening in various markets at this time, guessed the trump card of Chao Xiaoshu, and speculated that he would go tomorrow. Where is the place? I tossed and turned, and I couldn't fall asleep.
He woke Sangsang up through the thin quilt. After chatting for a while, he still couldn't understand these things. Sangsang saw that he looked haggard but couldn't fall asleep. He thought about it for a while, put on a single dress and took it back. A jar of strong wine, the two sat on both ends of the bed and drank it. As before, most of the wine entered Sangsang's belly. Ning Que could not defeat the alcohol after drinking a few sips, and finally fell asleep in a drowsy manner. go.
On the morning of the next day, the spring rain that had been lingering for many days suddenly stopped. The beautiful sun came out from behind the rain clouds without even saying a word. In the sky, the birds leaping in the treetops were shining, and a carriage stopped quietly. At the door of Lao Bizhai, a young man who looked like a servant walked out of the car. Without even saying hello, he pushed open the half-closed wooden door of the shop. Looking at the master and servant who had just gotten up, he said coldly. : "Let's go."
This is probably the one who told Xiaoshu to pick him up. Ning Que looked at the servant and noticed that the man's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be as if he were not, showing a little bit of arrogance. From the other party's ordinary Adam's apple and the standing posture that was slightly different from ordinary people, this guy should be Which young father-in-law in the palace?
Last night, I knew that Chao Xiaoshu's backing was in the palace. Today, a little eunuch came to pick him up. Ning Que naturally wouldn't be too shocked. He just thought about whether to stuff red envelopes and how big the red envelopes were.
In his impressions cultivated by novels, the other side of the emperor's inability to be anxious is that the emperor is easy to mess with eunuchs but not easy to mess with. Whenever the protagonist in the story meets eunuchs, whether the other party is the chief supervisor or the deacon, he will do it. He chose an opportunity to hand over a few thin silver notes or even a clear jade toy. His biggest doubt when he read those stories was that where did the protagonists get so many jade artifacts? (Note)
Ning Que raised his eyebrows and looked at Sangsang, asking with his eyes whether he had to prepare something. Sangsang has always been a very stingy person. He was slightly stunned and turned his head, pretending that he didn't understand what it meant. Her young master is not a generous person either. After thinking for a moment, she decided to pretend to be stupid, saving some money is some money.
The little eunuch looked at the shop casually with his hands in his arms, nodded like an old man, and said in a clear voice: "I heard that there are some good words in this alley. Let's take a look today. It's really good. There are some in the palace. The noble man wants to see you writing, so hurry up and wash and follow me."
Ning Que thought that this reason was good. He glanced at his clothes, bowed to the little eunuch, and said with a smile: "I only wear this way on weekdays. I am poor scholars, how can I clean up a flower? "
He was a little worried that the other party would make things difficult for him if he didn't receive the red envelope. He didn't expect that the young father-in-law wouldn't care. Instead, he smiled slightly and seemed to like his conversation. He nodded at him and walked out of the shop door.
In some cramped carriages, the little eunuch closed his eyes and rested all the way. Seeing his previous performance in Lin47 Alley, it should not be that he had any opinions about Ning Que or that he was disdainful to talk to him, but that he was used to be cautious outside the palace. .
Ning Que felt so quiet. He lifted the corner of the car curtain and looked at the scenery by the street. He saw that under the clear sunshine, the people of Chang'an walked between the markets with smiles. The breakfast shops everywhere were booming. From time to time, he could hear some of them. How could I see the shadow of the bloody battle in the martial arts world last night?
I don't know how long it took, two rows of willow shaded the view, and a comfortable shadow covered the entire carriage and the stone path that passed through the carriage. The shadow did not come from the willow tree, but from the imperial city behind the willow tree and the moat.
The Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, Chang'an City is the most powerful city in the world, the Tang Dynasty imperial city is the most powerful palace in the world - the imperial palace is described as the two words "magnificent", or it is somewhat inappropriate, but the Tang Dynasty imperial palace has been passed down for thousands of years. The Tang people have a magnificent demeanor, with strong red walls and thick yellow eaves, like swords and magnificent spirits. They are not like the romantic and noble land formed by the three palaces and six courtyards, seventy-two concubines in the early morning, but more like a majestic pass standing in the center of the Tang Dynasty.
Ning Que looked up at the solemn imperial city, looking down at the extremely high vermilion wall at the head of the city like a black spot, his expression was calm and still, but he was silently admiring in his heart.
Unfortunately, the carriage did not enter through the main gate of Zhuque, but walked around the moat for half a circle, and then drove in through an extremely inconspicuous side door. The carriage entered the palace and drove slowly in those not-so-wide lanes. He had turned many turns. His eyes were all blocked by the eaves next to the car. He could only see the sky cut into pieces by the eaves. He had no chance at all. When I saw the whole picture of the palace, I felt that the palace inside was extremely high.
At the chore room where you can see a piece of Bihu Lake from afar, the young father-in-law took Ning Que out of the carriage and started walking. The two walked along the dense bamboo sea by the lake for a while and met a few cups of tea. They passed by Youhong A vast rainy corridor supported by the pillars, I walked to a row of inconspicuous small halls before stopping. What made Ning Que feel a little confused and even wary of the long journey that he did not see any guards, and even the eunuch and palace maids.
The little eunuch turned his head and looked at him with a expressionless expression, "This is the Imperial Study Room. I can only take you here. You are here waiting. After seeing you, someone will naturally take you out of the palace."
Ning Que didn't care much, and was looking at the strange flowers and trees in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking at the flower boats in the lake covered by weeping willows in the distance, and was about to see if it was possible to look at the beautiful palace maids, but suddenly he heard When I arrived at the three words "Yuan Study", my body froze slightly, and I turned around and looked at the inconspicuous rooms behind me in shock.
The most secret place for men is not the bedroom, but the study.
In winter, he can read banned books in the study, in summer, in summer, he can read the sequel naked in the study, in spring, in spring, he can write ambiguous love letters to others, in autumn, he can pull over the red sleeves Sit in your arms and knead it.
There is no disturbance from the yellow-faced woman, no children's play, and all the private and happy things can be carried out openly with the fragrance of ink and books, and no one will disturb you.
The emperor is also a man, and the imperial study room is naturally his most private place. In history, many major events and many filthy palace incidents have happened in the imperial study room. If it were not for the emperor's most trusted confidant or the confidant who was ready to give him absolute trust, Not qualified to enter the imperial study room.
Wu Zetian entered the imperial study room, Zhang Juzheng entered the imperial study room, Wei Zhongxian entered the imperial study room, Wei Xiaobao entered the imperial study room... Ning Que stared at the closed door of the imperial study room, and thought with a sigh, how many great women are there, how many predecessors are there The powerful ministers have become successful because they enter this small study. They are arrogant. They never expected that this opportunity will fall on their heads today.
Last night, I guessed that Chao Xiaoshu's backstage was someone in the palace, and the person in the palace was most likely His Majesty the Emperor himself. However, guessing and confirming are different. The young man who had been wandering and struggling to survive for the first sixteen years suddenly realized that he seemed to be Having the opportunity to reach the sky, he was inevitably a little shocked. He finally understood that what Chao Xiaoshu said last night was more real than real money and silver. This was really the thickest thigh in the world.
"No one will come here within half an hour. If someone asks, you can follow the answer I taught before, and say that it was the palace that Lu Ji took you into."
Thinking with emotion, Ning Que didn't notice that the little eunuch had left quietly at some point. When he woke up, he found that there was no one around the imperial study room.
In the strange and strict palace, there was no one I knew beside me. The shaded and pleasant environment suddenly became a little gloomy. Even though he was as brave as him, he couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable and stood in front of the porch and waited for a while. , he suddenly wondered if he should go in first?
He and Sangsang entered Chang'an City like a local bun for a long time and were amazed and surprised. What's more, this is the palace. He didn't understand the rules at all. He just thought so according to common sense, so he did it and coughed gently After two sounds, he bowed to the Yu Study room in a fake manner, then pushed the door and walked in.
The so-called natural consequences are all fake, Ning Que just wants to go in. The most important part of his life over the years is the way of calligraphy, besides meditation and martial arts practice, today he has a very rare opportunity to enter the imperial study room. Of course, he is eager to see this study room with countless famous masters in the rumor. The desire was so strong that he had completely forgotten the so-called rules.
Pushing the door, the wall is a very high row of bookshelfs, which are horizontal and vertical, and the style is very ordinary and simple, but the wood used is the most precious Dongyu Huanghuali, and the bookshelf is densely lined with various books. , the placement is uneven, but it is all extremely expensive and precious treasures.
There were a few sheets of book paper on the desk, a brush was placed in the ink like a thin raft in the clear pond, soaked in the ink, and several other brushes were placed in messy on the pen holder. The paper was Xuanzhou bud paper, and the pen was Hengdian. Pure hair, ink is Chenzhou pine ink, and inkstone is Huangzhou Shenmu inkstone. No matter how close you are, you will be all precious tributes.
If these pens, ink, paper and inkstones can be brought back to Lin47 Lane, how much can they be sold? Ning Que stared at the surroundings in a daze, and had such a bastard idea in his heart for no reason. He immediately looked attracted by the calligraphy hanging on three white walls.
Looking at these handwritten posts that were collected in the deep palace and were hard to find, he was shocked and moved slowly, his eyes falling on the original works of famous masters who were either square, clumsy, or flat and beautiful, as well as those inscriptions and seals, his right hand subconsciously The inside was followed by painting in the air and began to copy, with a look of admiration and joy on his face.
Before he walked around to the desk, he looked at the five thick ink words on the paper, couldn't help but frown, and murmured, "Your Majesty has a very high appreciation level, but the words are really not very well written."
