When the time came, the bell tower rang the bell, the palace gate was opened, and the ministers waiting outside the palace gate entered the palace city, waiting to meet the emperor. When the emperor came, he was courteous to the ministers, and he listened to the reports of hundreds of officials on government affairs, which was an early dynasty.

Outside Miyagi, since the bell rings, the gate guards open the gate to allow pedestrians to pass. The caravan was either busy delivering goods to the shops in Fangshi, or they were busy leaving Jiankang City for their next destination. Shops are open, hawkers peddle along the streets, government officials ride to duty points, and farmers are busy with farm work that can never be finished. In ordinary families, men go out to beg for a living, women in addition to housework, also do some sewing and pulping work to subsidize the family, uncontrollable young children take advantage of the gap to run to the back window of the school to eavesdrop on the teaching gentleman's dazed lectures, peek at the students dozing, on the way home catch a few crickets and call friends to kill a game.

Each day, the old trajectory is repeated, but each day is different.

It rained all night, and in the early morning it was still rolling and refusing to stop. Xia Ziyan stretched out his hand under the eaves, turned his head and pushed Wu Yan, who was sleeping on the shore and had not woken up, "It's almost early, it's time for us to leave." ”

Wu Yan rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes in a daze, and the head pillowed on his arm turned to the other side, "um", and there was no movement.

On a rainy day, the sky brightens up later, and the canopy at this time only sheds a little light, and everything is still shrouded in gray tones, like a dream, cool and lazy.

Xia Ziyan saw that there was no sound behind him, so he had to say again: "It's almost early, the ministers' doors are waiting in front of the Suzaku Gate one after another at this moment, and we will go in with the ministers at this time, so we will save a lot of things." Wait into the Changle Gate, you and I have to go separately, the early court people and courtiers walk around a lot, the Ruixiang Palace on the left side of the Changle Gate is the place where the former court people live, the people come and go intensively, you are the easiest to mix in the past and the easiest to be discovered. You can't go from the left, you have to go around from the right, and enter the harem from the east to the Huamen......"

As he spoke, Xia Ziyan stopped talking and shook his head, "How can you remember it if you say it too carefully, as long as you follow my people, it's enough." ”

Thinking that there was no movement behind him before, and at this moment, he said a lot of hypnosis, Xia Ziyan was just about to turn around and urge again, but suddenly there was a crisp "I remember" behind him, which scared him for a while. The girl behind him stood in front of the window, her eyebrows were tired, and the smile on her face was like a bud washed by the night rain under the window last night, which was quietly blooming at this time, and one or two drops of water on the petal were like her eyes at the moment, vibrant, beautiful and beautiful.

"Isn't it just from the Suzaku Gate to the Changle Gate, I will remember to turn right, pass through the East Shanghua Gate, and you will arrive at the harem", the girl smiled coquettishly, raised her eyebrows proudly, and said, "I have long remembered." ”

******

"Boom", the vermilion palace gate moved, the ministers who were originally standing outside the Suzaku gate immediately stopped talking, some looked up at the palace gate, some people were serious again, and some people continued to look at the hand board in their hands with a serious face, their reactions were different, the only same action was to stand in line, waiting to enter the court.

The palace gate slowly opened, and the imperial city was revealed in front of you. Wu Yan, who was standing at the back of the team, raised his eyes and looked ahead, only to see the palaces carved with dragons and phoenixes under the glazed tiles, and the colored thresholds of the Zhu columns, which were grand and magnificent. Just looking at it, the team had already moved, Xia Ziyan in front of him walked forward, and Wu Yan also hurriedly moved and followed.

They followed everyone into the Changle Gate, Xia Ziyan continued to walk forward with the team, a light blue eunuch flashed out from the side of the palace gate, no one noticed that he was already standing next to Wu Yan, and when he lowered his head and lowered his hand, he had gently said beside Wu Yan: "Girl, please follow me." ”

They went to the right, then turned left at the end of the palace road, and went straight north. A small door opened next to the palace road, and the figures of the two people flickered by the door, and then disappeared, but after a while, someone came out, and there were still two people, the leader was still a eunuch in light blue clothes, and the eunuch who was also dressed in the same clothes was followed by him.

They continued to walk north, and all their movements were watched by the two people standing on the palace wall to the south.

The sky is a little more translucent, everything in the world is illuminated by the skylight, the drizzle has stopped, the damp streets and damp houses fall in a hazy hue, as if smeared with a layer of light mist, like the eyes of people who have not woken up, and like the hazy vision of opening the mouth in the cold winter. The clouds on the horizon, which had been pressed very low, seemed to have been thinned, and now stretched out against the sky high and far. The two people on the city wall were in front of each other, wearing ink-colored clothes, their cold eyebrows seemed to be carved with petrified knives, and their distant eyes moved with the two people walking on the palace road, and there seemed to be a trace of melancholy between their eyebrows, and they wanted to be dissipated. The man behind him was dressed in a white shirt like snow, and when he saw this, he said: "Sure enough, as Gongzi expected, he planned to let her enter the harem from the East Huamen, and the tower was in the northwest corner, which happened to be a diagonal position. Then go around the southeast to the northwest of the tower, this time the front morning should be dispersed, the back of the palace to pass breakfast, the time for the prince to enter the palace to ask for peace has also arrived. ”

"This game of chess is set up. But it's not you and me who can play chess, you and I just take advantage of the situation and borrow chess to make a move, what will happen next, it all depends on what these chess pieces will do. The ink-clothed young man in front of him turned his head, and the wind on the city wall hunted and hunted, blowing his hair down the back of his head, revealing only a pair of melancholy eyes.

On the palace road, two little eunuchs in light green palace clothes were walking slowly, and when they stepped through the Dongshang Huamen, a little eunuch behind raised their heads, and their bright faces seemed to be the sun, even if they were wearing eunuch clothes, they could not hide her outstandingness.

Behind him, the voice of the guard sounded by the Dongshanghua Gate, "Boss, weren't you on duty last night, the time for changing guards has long passed, why are you still here?"

"Well, you have to take care of the boss's affairs too?"

In front of the palace gate in the clear morning, the man who was called the boss smiled gloomily, unabashedly his volume and tone, very arrogant.

Wu Yan originally planned to look back to see what kind of person this was, but finally held back his curiosity and continued to walk briskly with the little eunuch in front of him.

"What kind of person is that, come from the front so early, or go to the side door, at this time, the people in front of the palace should all go up to the Chinese gate, right? ”

As a result, hearing the boss say this, the volume was still undisguised, and he didn't seem to care that it would be heard by the two of them, Wu Yan had a bad premonition in his heart, and the little eunuch in front of him seemed to be aware of it, and said in a low voice: "As long as you don't call us, don't stop." ”

Before the words fell, I heard the voice of the palace gate guard from behind: "The two little eunuchs in light blue clothes in front, which palace are you from?"
