Chapter 366: To act crazy, I really tried my best
Imperial study.
When Ning Jinghuai arrived at the imperial study, the eunuch who went to the Duke's Mansion had not returned to the palace yet.
This shows how impatient Ning Jinghuai is.
Xiao Chengjin was sitting at the desk writing an imperial edict. Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
Prince Ning is so fast!
Ning Jinghuai stopped and made a gesture to silence the eunuchs who were about to salute.
"Shh!"
Several young eunuchs looked at each other and said nothing.
Ning Jinghuai looked at Xiao Chengjin sitting at the desk and thought to himself: You know what, some people are born to be emperor.
Look at this domineering aura, so majestic!
Xiao Chengjin noticed Ning Jinghuai's admiring gaze and said without raising his head, "Don't stand there like an idiot!"
Ning Jinghuai's body stiffened, and he walked into the imperial study with a silly smile on his face.
"Well? You seem so busy, I'm sorry to bother you..."
Ning Jinghuai realized belatedly that his way of meeting the emperor was not right, and subconsciously covered his mouth.
Xiao Chengjin is the emperor now, so he should kneel down and pay homage to him.
Ning Jinghuai thought about this and was about to kneel down...
Xiao Chengjin put down the imperial pen in his hand and secretly watched the changes in Ning Jinghuai's expression.
Just as Ning Jinghuai was about to kneel, Xiao Chengjin stopped him, "Wait a minute."
Ning Jinghuai froze in place, looking bewildered...
Is the kneeling posture wrong?
Or is the expression wrong?
Xiao Chengjin looked at the stunned Ning Jinghuai and coughed lightly, "I will exempt you from the ceremony of kneeling."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Jinghuai's expression changed from confusion to joy.
He immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Get up!" Xiao Chengjin said quietly, "You should thank your father."
Ning Jinghuai stood up and said in a sly voice, "Go home and kowtow to my father to express my gratitude."
Xiao Chengjin looked at the grinning Ning Jinghuai and curled the corners of his lips.
"Go move your seat yourself. I have something to tell you."
When Ning Jinghuai heard this, he knew it was a matter of arranged marriage.
He turned around and moved a seat to the side, sitting there with a well-behaved look on his face.
After serving tea, the two young eunuchs bowed and left.
Xiao Chengjin picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said slowly, "I promised you that I would grant you marriage after the matter is completed..."
"I summoned you here today to ask if the General's wife agrees with your marriage."
After hearing what Xiao Chengjin said, Ning Jinghuai suddenly became stiff.
"In reply to the Emperor, my mother-in-law has agreed to the marriage between me and Yan'er."
"Besides, Yan'er accepted my heirloom...she must marry me."
Xiao Chengjin couldn't help but chuckle, "I will send Little Phoenix to the border to recall General Chu and his son back to the capital to attend the coronation ceremony."
"When the time comes, while General Chu and his son are in Beijing, you can also hold the wedding."
Ning Jinghuai was so moved.
He stood up, suppressed his excitement, and said seriously: "I would like to thank the emperor."
"Your Majesty, if you need me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Xiao Chengjin: Haha, this is what I’ve been waiting for you to say.
"Get up!"
"Remember what you said today."
Ning Jinghuai: “…”
Why does it feel like I'm "jumping into a pit on my own initiative"?
It’s an illusion, it must be an illusion.
Later, when Ning Jinghuai thought about what he said today, he wanted to slap himself a few times.
Not only did he work for Xiao Chengjin his entire life, but even his own son couldn't escape the same fate...
Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai who was suspicious, and said with a guilty conscience: "I still have to write an imperial edict, and the imperial decree granting the marriage will be sent to the general's mansion in two days."
"You should withdraw!"
Ning Jinghuai clasped his hands and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"
Prepare gifts and go to the general's mansion.
Haha, I can finally go to the general's mansion openly.
Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai's departing back and raised his eyebrows.
Heartless guy...
Princess Mansion.
Sheng Yunshao looked at the imperial edict in Manager Lin's hand and couldn't stop smiling.
"Haha, give me the imperial edict. I'll take a look and then keep it."
"By the way, when you came, did you publicize this?"
Manager Lin: “…”
Fortunately, we made a big splash along the way.
"Don't worry, Prince Consort. By now, the news of the granted marriage has spread."
Sheng Yunshao nodded quickly, "Very good, you did a good job."
"reward!"
When Madam Cen heard Sheng Yunshao's words, she smiled happily and distributed several red purses to Manager Lin and his men.
Chief Steward Lin and his men took the purse, bowed, and said, "Thank you, Prince Consort."
Princess Anran looked at Sheng Yunshao who was holding on to the imperial edict and couldn't help but laugh softly.
Steward Lin asked with a smile, "My Lord, have you chosen a wedding date?"
"The eighth day of next month." Sheng Yunshao said happily.
Chief Steward Lin nodded slightly and said, "I will report this matter to the Emperor and the Empress upon my return to the palace."
Princess Anran spoke at the right moment: "Butler Lin, Jin'er has just taken over the government and is very busy. We can arrange the wedding ourselves."
"I understand," Manager Lin nodded in response.
Remembering that he still had to go to the Eastern Palace, Chief Steward Lin said truthfully, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, I still have to go to the Eastern Palace, so I'll take my leave now."
When Sheng Yunshao heard about going to the Eastern Palace, he immediately became excited.
"Wait a moment!"
"I think Xiao Mocheng is just pretending to be crazy."
Steward Lin smiled wickedly, "The Queen said, we'll know after we try it with poison."
"Haha, this is a great idea!" Sheng Yunshao gave a thumbs up.
.......
Chief Steward Lin brought a few people to the gate of the East Palace, and the guarding imperial guards opened the door directly.
They said very politely, "Manager Lin, please!"
"Yes!" Manager Lin nodded and entered the East Palace with a carriage.
The imperial guards secretly thought: This is the emperor's loyal servant, we have to please him.
Manager Lin looked at the messy East Palace and sneered.
Oh, I really tried my best to act crazy.
At this moment, Xiao Mocheng, with disheveled hair and a dirty face, was leaning against a tree, poking the ant hole with a branch.
When he heard the door open, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
Someone is coming!
I don’t know if my acting skills can fool people?
So, as he poked, he muttered to himself: "I am the emperor, all of you kneel down and pay your respects to me."
"You must all obey me, otherwise I will chop off your heads."
......
Manager Lin stood aside, observing Xiao Mocheng quietly.
You know what, he pretends to be quite convincing.
He took a few steps forward and stood opposite Xiao Mocheng. "Hey, what are you doing?"
Xiao Mocheng pointed at the ants with the branch in his hand and said without raising his head, "Shh, I am discussing state affairs with the ministers, don't scare them."
Manager Lin looked at the ants on the ground, a sneer appearing on the corner of his lips.
He squatted down and said sarcastically: "So you are the Ant King!"
Humph! You have some self-awareness.
When Xiao Mocheng heard this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
This dog slave actually implied that he was an ant.
He was mocking himself for being insignificant and overestimating his own abilities.
Also, what this dog slave meant was: Killing yourself is as easy as crushing an ant...
