Chapter 254 The grace is too great to bear

The streets were already surrounded by people, and a wide path was empty in the middle. This was a notice posted by Jingzhao Mansion, saying that the emperor gave eight large sedan chairs to ask the assistant to enter the palace, and asked everyone to make way for the way. However, because of the posting of the notice, the people put down their affairs and watched the fun.

This kind of thing is rare in ancient and modern times. Even the grandfathers have never heard of emperors from any dynasty or other generations who gave their ministers sedan chairs to the palace. Everyone has been talking about this. Some people think that the assistant is too ruthless, while others think that the emperor is too young and is being controlled by the assistant.

But no matter how much he talks, he always speaks quietly. Everyone knows the status of the supporter. Now he is even more arrogant and needs the emperor to invite him to a sedan chair. Isn’t this telling the people of the world that Qiu Wanao has more airs than the emperor?

Qiu Wanao looked out quietly through the sedan window, and the people on both sides were surrounded by the streets. He was very proud and couldn't help but humming the song in a low voice.

But before the song was finished, the sedan chair stopped. He was curious to ask, so he stopped Liu Deyang shouted in his voice: "The emperor is so proud of his kindness. I will give eight big sedan chairs to help him enter the court. I will take a hundred steps, three kowtows and nine bows, thank you for your kindness, kneel----"

Liu De's voice was already loud. Although his voice was a little thin, his aura was too strong. It sounded like a person who dared not neglect at all, and it was completely different from what he had done in Qiu's mansion just now.

After all, he served two generations of emperors. Liu De's gentle and loyal nature does not mean that he is weak. His face was slightly cold at this time, as if he represented the emperor. Naturally, he had a high-ranking attitude, and even his tone of speaking was filled with a kind of charity.

The common people were in an uproar and said that the sedan chair was not so easy to sit. Three bows and nine bows a hundred steps were a kind of gratitude to the emperor. Usually, the ministers would give the emperor a great gift only after they were grateful to him.

However, almost few people present have seen such a great gift, but this etiquette does exist. The ancestors have had such a ceremony for generations, but there has never been such a great kindness in history, so naturally no one has performed such a great gift.

But it's different now. Qiu Wanao was given eight-carrying sedan chairs by the emperor and invited him to the palace in person. This kind of treatment was rare in several dynasties and generations, so he naturally could afford such a great gift.

Everyone suddenly realized that laughter came from someone in the crowd, and the sound came into Qiu Wanao's ears. Qiu Wanao's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot, he held his fists tightly, and his teeth clattered.

OK, the little emperor is still restless. He has come to this point and wants to stumbling for him.

The common people were watching from side to side. Seeing that Qiu Wanao was not coming out for a long time, Liu De stepped forward and raised the curtain, and said with a kind face: "Master Fu, please give me a tribute. The emperor said that etiquette can be exempted from being exempted, and there is no need to be too harsh on the adults. I have prepared brocade mats, so I can kneel on the mat."

Qiu Wanao's eyes twitched, and a dangerous aura appeared in his eyes. However, Liu De seemed to have not seen it. He asked a sedan chairman to lift the curtain, and then ordered someone to prepare the brocade mat, and then asked him to ask: "Sir, please."

After this, Qiu Wanao had the intention to kill people at this time, and he had no choice. He was favored first, but there was such a rule in the ancestral system. However, his identity was not even taken seriously by the emperor. How could he have thought that the emperor would let him give such a great gift?

It seemed extremely glorious, but for him, he undoubtedly slapped countless times in the face. However, he was beaten so hard that he couldn't say a word.

Qiu Wanao has also experienced decades of officialdom, and his patience is naturally extraordinary. Even though he was angry in the sedan chair and wanted to kill someone, he immediately changed his face when he got out of the sedan chair.

He wiped the tears in the corner of his eyes and shouted loudly: "The old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness. The emperor cared for the old minister. When the old minister was in a state of illness, he sent eight large sedan chairs to invite the old minister to the palace. The old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness."

As he said that, he knelt down, kowtowed three times, got up, kowtowed three times, got up, kowtowed three times, kowtowed three times, then he gave up on the sedan chair.

Liu De smiled and shouted, and the sedan chair walked forward steadily. However, now, Qiu Wanao was not in the mood to hum the song. The vicious look in his eyes seemed to be about to swallow life in an instant, but everything was hidden inside the sedan chair, and no matter how the outsiders could see his emotions.

Although it was a ritual of three kowtows and nine bows, the sedan chair did not ritual for every 100 steps. However, even so, the sky was already dark when it reached the gate of the palace, while Qiu Wanao walked a little bumpy, his knees were covered in dust and his forehead was even red. Along the way, he knelt at least a hundred times and kowtowed hundreds of times.

He has not suffered such great humiliation in his life, and this humiliation comes from that little emperor.

He gritted his teeth with hatred. Because of the weather, and there were no ordinary people on both sides to watch, the ruthlessness in his eyes was revealed without any concealment, and his body was instantly dissipated with a murderous aura. The ferocity in his eyes scared the sedan chairman so much that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand.

Liu De said slowly, "Sir, I am sorry, only the emperor and the queen mother are allowed to sit in the sedan chair in the palace. For the remaining section of the road, please walk in. The old slave will enter the palace with you."

Qiu Wanao looked over with fierce eyes, but Liu De smiled slightly, not looking at him, but only looking at the position under his collar.

Qiu Wanao sneered: "This trip has been asked by the emperor for a long time, I am really frightened."

Liu De's expression remained unchanged: "The emperor cared about his sympathy and knew that he was not easy to go along the way, so he would never blame him."

"I won't blame me for a sentence, but I am very grateful." Qiu Wanao's voice was stern, "Please rest assured, I will remember this kindness forever."

Liu De bowed and asked again: "Sir, please."

Qiu Wanao was angry and wanted to step into the palace step by step, but his knees hurt so much that he couldn't walk steadily. Seeing this, Qiu Lu quickly walked over carefully and stretched out a hand. Qiu Wanao helped him and walked a little more steadily.

Liu De just pretended that he didn't see it. The little eunuch turned on the lights in front of him and the group went to the inner hall silently.

Wei Zha looked at all this and then hurried back with satisfaction. As soon as he entered the door, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master, you didn't go and take a look, it's such a pity."

Qiu Ji stood in front of the desk, holding a brush in his hand, waving his wrist constantly, feeling like flowing water.

Since the young master came back in the afternoon, he had been standing at the desk. Wei Zha couldn't help but want to go and see it. After receiving the agreement, he really watched Qiu Wanao kneel from his doorstep to the palace gate. He felt relieved and was satisfied from the beginning to the end. He quickly came back to report to Qiu Ji. However, Qiu Ji had never changed his posture and movements since he left the door.

He walked up and couldn't help but look amazed, "Young Master, you are so amazing. The people in this painting are lifelike, just like Miss Yao standing in front of you."

Qiu Ji glanced at him: "You have nothing to do?"

Wei Zha quickly laughed: "What a small thing is to serve you, Master."

Qiu Ji stopped talking, and focused on painting in his hand.

Wei Zha saw that the face in the painting was already very clear and still colored, but the lower body had not been fully painted or colored. The sky was already dark. Even though candles were lit on all sides, I still couldn't see clearly, and it was even cooler at night.

He advised again: "Young Master, it will take some time for me to complete this painting. You can rest today and draw it tomorrow."

Qiu Ji was unmoved, but instead ordered him to light two more candles. Wei Zha looked at the situation and thought about these days, the young master had to go to Jinbuju every day at noon. He couldn't help but think that if the painting was not completed today, the young master would definitely not sleep.

He then lit a few more candles and made people add two more charcoal basins to the house.
