Chapter 111 Meeting the Crown Prince and Crown Princess 1
Finally, after about half an hour, the lunch was finally finished.
The emperor was also old, so he had the habit of taking a nap at noon. So after lunch, he said, "Fang Shizhong, take the King of Yunnan and his family to the East Palace!"
Fang Shizhong was just about to say: This old slave still has to wait for you to take a nap...
The emperor seemed to know what he wanted to say and pretended to be angry and said, "This is my order. Go when I tell you to. Do I need anyone to serve me?"
Fang Shizhong heard this, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat. He could only mumble, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go right away!"
The emperor returned to his bedroom surrounded by palace maids.
Dugu Xin and his family said, "Farewell, Your Majesty!" They did not stand up until the emperor and the palace maids' footsteps were getting farther away.
Dugu Xin's family also breathed a sigh of relief. This meal was not easy to eat!
But the next step is another tough battle, I have to go to the East Palace to pay a visit to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess!
After seeing Dugu Xin and the other two stand up, Fang Shizhong said, "King of Yunnan, two princesses, let's go. This old servant will take you to the East Palace."
The King of Yunnan bowed to Fang Shizhong and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Eunuch Fang!"
Fang Shizhong was very pleased with the King of Yunnan's respectful attitude, and a smile appeared on his face. Because he was old, his whole face looked like a chrysanthemum when he smiled!
So Fang Shizhong led the way in front, and the King of Yunnan and his family followed behind, and they walked out of the Zhengyang Palace step by step.
However, what he didn't expect was that he ran into Li Chu as soon as he walked out of the palace gate. It seemed that he had been waiting for a while.
Fang Shizhong's face was still smiling like a chrysanthemum. He walked forward and asked, "Hey, Your Highness Prince Guangping, why are you waiting here? Why didn't you send someone to tell them?"
Then he turned to the eunuch guarding the gate outside and said, "Are you all just decorations? How come you didn't inform the prince of Guangping when he came here? He's left here freezing. If he gets sick, you're the only ones to blame!"
Li Chu said to Fang Shizhong, "Eunuch Fang, you're worrying too much. I just arrived a short time ago and didn't want to disturb the Emperor and the King of Yunnan, so I didn't send anyone to announce it. You can't blame them."
Although the words were plain and straightforward, Li Chu's words saved those young eunuchs, otherwise Grandpa Fang would have beaten them to pieces! Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little grateful to Li Chu.
After hearing what Li Chu said, Fang Shizhong said to the eunuch guarding the gate, "Since His Royal Highness Prince Guangping has pleaded for you today, we will not punish you. If you do this again, we will not punish you lightly next time!"
Upon hearing this, several young eunuchs quickly knelt and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Guangping, and thank you, Eunuch Fang, for not punishing me!"
Then Li Chu said to Fang Shizhong: "Alright, let them get up first!"
Fang Shizhong followed his instructions and raised his hand to signal them that they could get up. Several young eunuchs then stood up and retreated to a farther place to stand guard.
Li Chu then said to Fang Shizhong, "Isn't it time for the Emperor to take a nap?"
Fang Shizhong said yes.
Then Li Chu said, "Then I will take the King of Yunnan and the others to the East Palace, and you will go and serve the Emperor!"
Li Chu's words touched Fang Shizhong's heart, and Fang Shizhong quickly responded,
The King of Yunnan and his family followed Li Chu to the Eastern Palace. Only after seeing them go far away did Fang Shizhong return to the bedroom.
The emperor saw that he came back so soon and thought he was being lazy. He frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"
Fang Shizhong hurriedly told the story of Prince Guangping coming to pick up Prince Yunnan and his family to the Eastern Palace.
The emperor's brows relaxed, and then he put on a relieved smile, thinking: It seems that Chu'er really cares about Princess Yi'an and even came to pick her up in person. It seems that what the prince said is right, Chu'er is about to get married!
While thinking, he let Fang Shizhong and others change his clothes and went to the table to rest.
On the other side, on the way to the East Palace, the King of Yunnan did not expect Li Chu to come in person, so he asked: "Chu'er, why did you come in person?"
Li Chu raised his lips slightly and said to Dugu Xin, "The banquet over there has ended. Mother asked Aunt to stay to talk. Ruo'er called Xinyu away. Brother Dan and cousin Xingchen were having a good time. Cousin Xinghan is also with them. I took the opportunity to come here."
Dugu Xin nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Dugu Jingyao asked, "Do the Crown Prince and Crown Princess need a nap? Are we disturbing them if we go over now?"
Li Chu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. They won't take a nap today!"
After about an incense stick of time, we finally arrived at the East Palace.
As they neared the gate of Zhaoyang Palace, Li Chu looked at the three of them and said, "Uncle, please wait a moment. I will go in and report first."
Dugu Xin nodded to indicate that he understood.
The Crown Prince and the Marquis of Zhennan were in the main hall. When they saw Li Chu coming back, they knew that it must be the King of Yunnan and his family.
So he asked the eunuch beside him to go find the Crown Princess and the Marquis's wife. In less than a cup of tea, the two of them came back together.
This time, because the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess did not show much initiative in front of Li Chu, the Crown Prince asked Eunuch Fan beside him to go out and call someone.
Liu Jingyue's legs were really tired. After standing here for a while, she just wanted to sit on the ground. However, just as she had this thought, Eunuch Fan arrived at the door of the hall.
Dugu Jingyao saw that the person was none other than Eunuch Fan who had been by the side of the Crown Prince in his previous life, and she knew that he was inviting them in.
It was indeed Eunuch Fan who walked up to the three of them, bowed, and said, "This old servant pays his respects to the King of Yunnan and the two princesses!"
The three of them returned the greeting.
Eunuch Fan said in a casual manner, "Three of you, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess invite you. Please follow me!"
Several people followed Eunuch Fan into the Zhengyang Palace.
