Chapter 150 Meeting
Chapter 150 Meeting
Li Jingchen had no objection. He had already found out about Xue Shaogui's background beforehand and knew that he was not Yu Zhenzhou's man and that he had some bad deeds, a style that Yu Zhenzhou did not like. It was still unknown how long Xue Shaogui could stay in that position.
After reporting on the affairs of Qiling County, Yu Zhenzhou said no more and just waited until the court meeting was over before returning home.
In the morning, Huang Mulin and others got up and had breakfast. She followed Yang Lijun to learn court etiquette from Nanny Zheng.
The four brothers of the Huang family are still studying with Yu Zheng, and learning how to deal with official social interactions. An hour later, Yu Min is arranged to teach them some simple moves, so that they can practice both civil and military skills.
After Yu Zhenzhou arrived home, he asked the chief steward Yang Lijun where she was and headed straight for her destination.
In principle, Huang Mulin is not a real six-year-old child, and with the cheating tool of space, his comprehension ability, learning ability, patience, etc. are all outstanding.
Nanny Zheng, who taught her, was shocked. This little girl who suddenly came into the public eye was so smart.
Although her movements were not standard at first, she soon got the hang of it after practicing a few times. She was also steady and her posture became more and more dignified, and she really didn't look like a child from a small farm family.
"Madame Zheng, is my daughter okay?"
Nanny Zheng was selected from the maids who left the palace after Yu Zhenzhou and his wife came to the capital. She had never given birth and had no relatives. Yang Lijun happened to need a nanny for etiquette, so she invited her to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Nanny Zheng is a kind, patient, polite person. She is not greedy and does not fight or compete. She was not outstanding in the palace, but this was the best way for her to survive.
Yu Zhenzhou and his wife chose her because of her insightful thinking.
"Excellent."
Nanny Zheng meant what she said.
She had never taught the emperor's children, only the concubines and palace maids, who were all at least ten years old and knew how to deal with things. It was rare to find someone like Huang Mulin who had the ability to accept and learn so quickly.
Especially since she was only six years old.
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam."
The little girl immediately smiled and thanked him sweetly.
And very sensible.
Nanny Zheng smiled back.
Just then, Yu Zhenzhou walked in.
"My lord."
Nanny Zheng bowed to him.
"No gift."
He asked, "Did I bother you?"
"No, it happened to be during the break." Yang Lijun replied, and then asked: "But did you tell me the time of the audience?"
"Not yet."
Yu Zhenzhou chose a seat and sat down: "The emperor said that he would wait for the soldiers from the northwest to come and then meet him together during the celebration banquet."
"That's good. I'll be worried if Mu Mu goes to see the emperor alone."
If a celebration banquet is arranged later, she can go with them.
I feel more at ease knowing that my daughter is under my supervision.
Nanny Zheng stood aside like an invisible person, and her breathing became lighter.
"Mumu can also practice for a few more days." Yu Zhenzhou looked at the little girl who made a face at him and laughed: "Being bold is a good thing, but there is no harm in practicing etiquette more."
The whole family laughed.
And continued the class.
In the morning, the five children were studying hard. After Yu Zhenzhou came back from court and had lunch and a rest, he would take Yang Lijun and the children for a stroll in the capital.
Yang Lijun had been away for seven years, and she still felt a little emotional when she stepped into the capital again.
The capital's life is still lively and vibrant; the city's streets are bustling with people, and strolling through the alleys is a prosperous scene.
The carriages of the nobles and the pedestrians on the road passed in an orderly manner, the shop signs hung high swayed in the wind, and the ancient city walls that had weathered the wind and frost told the changing history and attracted tourists to stop.
The weight of history and the prosperity of the present complement each other, which is fascinating.
The capital city is also home to many merchants and offers a wide variety of goods. No wonder it has been a popular destination for people since ancient times.
“It’s so prosperous~”
Huang Haolin couldn't help but admire.
“The capital is the best in the country and the place most people yearn for.”
Yu Zhenzhou carefully protected his little girl and said, "It is also a huge cage."
"Some people want to go out, and more people want to come in."
No one spoke for a while, and everyone walked slowly on the street to watch.
Yu Zhenzhou took them to appreciate many rare jewels, eat many of the famous dishes in the capital, and visit famous tourist attractions. The few days were hurried but fulfilling.
Soon, Huang Mulin will meet the emperor.
She was still a little nervous.
In her previous life, she had memorized a lot of history when she was studying, but when she actually faced an existence that was equal to the ancient emperors she knew, she felt both excited and a little nervous.
"Don't worry, your father and I are here."
Huang Mulin took Yang Lijun's hand, his palm was a little cold: "Okay, I'll try my best."
Yang Lijun checked her clothes again, then took her and Yu Zhenzhou into the carriage and headed to the palace.
The palace is undoubtedly bustling tonight.
Both Li Jingchen and the court officials were very curious about Huang Mulin.
Li Jingchen learned a lot about Huang Mulin from the spies he sent to investigate, and also got a portrait that was 60% to 70% similar to the real person.
He had always been curious about what kind of magic this girl had that made Yu Zhenzhou and his wife love her so much.
Yu Zhenzhou and his wife arrived on time. They were not the latest, but not too early either, so they did not have to deal with the officials who came to them all the time.
Not long after they sat down, the voice of the eunuch outside the hall came into the banquet hall.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone knelt to welcome him.
Huang Mulin was not used to this method of worshipping others on his knees. The last time he felt this kind of resistance was on the day he received the imperial edict.
Perhaps sensing Huang Mulin's emotions, Yang Lijun held her hand and silently comforted her.
Huang Mulin calmed down.
This was an ancient era, an era when imperial power was supreme, and kneeling was a rule that had to be followed.
She kept convincing herself in her heart.
"Everyone loves you."
Li Jingchen's words ended Huang Mulin's thoughts.
Everyone thanked him and sat down in their seats.
"This is the adopted daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, the Lady of Qiling County bestowed by me personally, Huang Mulin?"
As soon as she sat down, Li Jingchen's eyes immediately caught her, and his scrutiny and curiosity were not concealed at all.
What a beautiful child, much prettier than the portrait.
Li Jingchen said secretly.
It's rare to find such a beautiful girl in the countryside.
However, they are not similar to Yu Zhenzhou and his wife.
A certain suspicion in his mind faded a little.
"Your Majesty, it is my daughter."
Yu Zhenzhou took over the conversation, turned his head and said to Huang Mulin: "Go and see the emperor quickly."
Huang Mulin stepped forward and saluted as Madam Zheng had taught her, and said crisply, "Your servant Huang Mulin greets His Majesty."
Be dignified and polite.
Li Jingchen's pupils shrank.
This woman is not simple.
He was raised as a future emperor, learned a lot of political tactics, and met many people. He could tell the difference of Huang Mulin almost at a glance.
