Chapter 3 Violation of the Holy Decree

In the wind and rain, two fragile and embarrassed figures appeared outside Xuancheng Gate.

"Please wait a moment, please wait a moment."

"Please don't close the palace door..."

Seeing that the palace door was about to close, the two little girls were so anxious that they almost cried and ran as hard as they could.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Deng is still on the carriage behind."

"Please, please wait a little longer."

Hearing the words Deng Guiren, Zheng Zhong hesitated and stopped what he was doing.

"Why haven't you closed the door yet? Hurry up." Yang Chen from the Zhonghuang Gate urged impatiently.

"Back to Mr. Huangmen, two girls came running outside and said that Mr. Deng was still in the carriage behind." Zheng Zhong answered cautiously.

"Shouldn't Mr. Deng go through the Luocheng Gate when entering the palace?" Yang Chen thought for a moment, turned around with an umbrella, chose a place where he could not get wet, and cursed: "You slave, you are so hasty and slow.

You can't handle anything well. If you slack off again, I'll send you to Yeting for a good whipping."

Although the words were meant to reproach him, he did not urge him to close the palace door quickly. Zheng Zhong was clever and knew that this was because Zhonghuangmen wanted to give Deng Guiren face, but he did not want others to seize the excuse, so he deliberately did this in front of Yin Guiren.

.

"This slave deserves to die, please forgive me, Lord Huangmen." Zheng Zhong confessed and slowly went to close the palace gate. At this time, two girls who were soaked by the rain had already rushed forward.

"Please wait a moment, sir. Mr. Deng will be here soon." The two little girls knelt in front of the door and saluted.

Yang Chen looked unhappy: "Even if Mr. Deng enters the palace, he should go through the Luocheng Gate. And this is the Xuancheng Gate."

"Your Excellency, please forgive me. We really have no choice but to do so." The little girl begged, "Please forgive me, Your Excellency, and let the noble man enter the palace?"

Just as he finished speaking, a rickety carriage appeared in the rain. The carriage was tilted to one side and looked particularly awkward. The horses were also moving very slowly.

"What's going on?" Yang Chen asked suspiciously.

"There was a heavy wind and rain on the road, and the carriage hit a rock, and the left front wheel was damaged." The little girl's face, which was pale from the rain, showed grievance: "Please be merciful, sir, and wait for me, noble man."

"You guys go over and pick up this noble man." Yang Chen didn't want to be such a good person.

But this Deng nobleman is obviously a little unusual. He was canonized as a nobleman just after entering the palace. Apart from the Yin nobleman who is very popular in the palace, there is only this Deng family daughter who is related to the Yin family.

"Yes, Lord Zhonghuangmen." Zheng Zhong and several eunuchs ran over in the rain. They helped up the tilted car and sent the Deng nobleman in the car steadily into Xuancheng Gate.

The heavy and lengthy sound of closing the palace door was largely covered up by the noisy rain.

The carriage stopped at the palace gate.

The two little girls hurriedly gathered around. The one holding the umbrella and the other resting on the feet were serving them very well.

The car curtain opened, and a woman in a green skirt walked down lightly.

She has a tall and straight posture and elegant manners. She has a beautiful and gentle face. The jade lotus hairpin hanging by the side of her bun is sleek and attractive. Unfortunately, she also tilted to one side after the carriage, which inevitably caused her to scream.

People feel embarrassed.

Yang Chen's eyes were immediately attracted, and he was so stunned that he lost his sense of proportion and even forgot to salute.

"Thank you for your help on a rainy day. Deng Sui is very grateful." Deng Sui stepped forward and nodded politely.

Just when I lowered my head, raindrops rolled down my temples.

It was also at this time that Yang Chen realized that he had lost his composure and said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am very happy. It's raining heavily. Please ask the waiter to drink a cup of hot tea to warm your throat."

Deng Sui's gentle face looked as bright as spring: "Since I have been summoned to the palace, I would like to ask you to lead the way for me. It is already late to pay my respects to Your Majesty, so there should be no further delay."

Yang Chenrao was stunned: "I dare to talk too much, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to face the saint like this..."

With wet clothes and dripping hair, if the emperor saw Deng Guiren like this, he would probably be angry. Yang Chen only reminded him out of kindness. After all, the etiquette in the palace must not be ignored, and the appearance of a woman also belongs to this etiquette.

category.

"Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's just that I have my own thoughts." Deng Sui's face was always gentle.

"Prepare the car." Yang Chen stopped urging.

"Thank you for your kindness." Deng Sui expressed his gratitude. "I can walk to Zhangde Palace to pay homage to the Holy One."

"On foot?" Yang Chen was surprised: "It's still a long way from Zhangde Palace. It's difficult to walk on rainy days. I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it."

"Please lead the way." Deng Sui had made up his mind and his tone was firm.

"Zheng Zhong, lead the way for noble man." Yang Chen said no more, but carefully weighed this noble man Deng in his heart.

After opening the umbrella, two maidservants, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied Deng Sui and followed Zheng Zhong to Zhangde Palace.

This road was very difficult to walk due to heavy rain and slippery conditions. But no matter what, it was not as difficult as the experience when entering the palace.

Outside the gate of Zhangde Palace, Zheng Zhong bowed respectfully to Deng Sui and said, "I will go and report this to the eunuch in charge. Please wait a moment."

Deng Sui's heartstrings tightened in an instant, but this did not affect her gentle smile: "I'm sorry."

The Yunhui Pavilion in Zhangde Palace has a unique charm.

He Emperor Liu Zhao held a sunspot in his hand, slightly sunk his eyes, and chose a spot to land on the chessboard.

The beauty Feng Zhishui smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty is proficient in the five-square art. Although my concubine's chess skills are learned from your Majesty, they are far less sophisticated than your Majesty. It seems that this is another time to surrender."

Liu Zhao pinched her cold fingertips: "I don't care about winning or losing, only whether you put your heart into it. It's best if you don't live up to my teachings in vain."

"How dare Zhishui live up to your majesty's teachings? I know that what your majesty wants in your heart is just the comfort of being in the midst of the stormy waves."

"That's good." Liu Zhao twirled his fingers and rubbed his hands gently: "It's cold, go get a cloak for the beauty to keep out the cold."

"Yes." The girl next to her was about to retreat when she saw the eunuch Wu Leng walking in.

"Your Majesty, Lord Deng has entered the palace at this time and is seeking an audience outside Zhangde Palace."

Feng Zhishui's heart tightened, and the corners of her lips inevitably moved.

"What?" Liu Zhaomin noticed this subtle change in his expression and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's raining so hard outside, why did Mr. Deng ask for a visit at this time? I'm afraid he might catch a cold in the rain." Feng Zhishui said it cleverly, but in fact he was afraid of Mr. Deng.

Liu Zhao was unmoved, looked at Wu Leng and asked, "Why did you come to the palace just now?"

"Replying to Your Majesty, Mr. Deng entered the palace through Xuancheng Gate and walked to Zhangde Palace to meet His Majesty. When he came, it was raining and windy, and the carriage broke down halfway. The noble man knew that his moral conduct was lacking, so he did it.

Kneel down outside the palace and wait for the summons."

"Oh?" Liu Zhao heard the reply clearly and felt a little pity for no reason. "She walked from Xuancheng Gate to Zhangde Palace?"

"Yes." Wu Leng didn't dare to hide it.

"Then let her come in." Liu Zhao really wanted to meet this noble Deng.

Feng Zhishui stood up, and it was only when two maids helped the wet Deng Guiren in that she finally believed Wu Leng's words.

This noble man is really like a dark cloud. Wherever he goes, there are water droplets all over the ground. It's a very embarrassing situation.

"My concubine, Deng Sui, pays homage to Your Majesty." Deng Sui immediately folded his hands, knelt on the ground and saluted.

As Feng Zhishui was beside the emperor, he just bowed politely.

"Raise your head." Liu Zhao was curious and walked in the rain to see the saint. Which song was this Deng Guiren singing?

"My concubine is not well-groomed and immoral. She dare not raise her head to face the Holy One. Please forgive me." Deng Sui's voice was pleasant, and his tone did not tremble due to the cold. He looked very steady and gentle.

"No problem." Liu Zhao didn't care: "Raise your head."

Deng Sui raised his head as he was told. The rouge on his face had long been washed away by the rain, and even the dimple on his lips was gone.

Her skin is white and translucent, like a peeled lychee, moist and tender, and very beautiful.

Liu Zhao was curious: "My order is to enter the palace through Luocheng Gate. You have a noble position, so you should do this. Why did you go to Xuancheng Gate?"

"I am guilty." Deng Sui bowed again: "I dare not hide it from Your Majesty, just because the Xuancheng Gate is much closer than the Luo City Gate, I... would waste time, so I chose the distance instead of the near."

"What?" Feng Zhishui thought he heard wrongly: "What do you mean, your noble lord, just because Xuancheng Gate is close, you violated the imperial edict and changed the route to enter the palace without authorization? I'm afraid it is an unpardonable crime to say this. How can you
