Chapter 55 Enter the palace and find your father
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Ke'er, can you wear this dress, it's quite strange, I feel that your young master is like a monkey being tricked, and he is uncomfortable."
"No, Your Highness, you are entering the palace, not going on an outing, this dress must be worn in, otherwise those guards will not let you in, the palace is not an ordinary place, you can't play child's play, you have to dress formally."
Ke'er helped Li Zhou button up his clothes, tidy them up and down, and didn't give Li Zhou a chance to refute at all, his skillful little hands, excited expression, and a little joy on his little face, and his starry eyes hooked Li Zhou, and his mouth kept reading: "Your Highness, you have to pay attention to good etiquette when you go to the palace, it's not your own home, you can do whatever you want, if you're not careful, you will be beaten there, you just pay attention to yourself." β
"Also, when I see some big officials and people inside, try to be polite, don't be so cold and arrogant, don't be able to live for a lifetime, if you can build a good relationship, try not to offend people, those officials and those who don't have Dongdong, although you can't take Your Highness, how about you? But if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens. β
"After entering, you must follow Your Majesty's wishes, don't do anything with him, Your Highness, you are still young, you can't be rash, otherwise the slaves and maids and others will suffer." Ke'er didn't bother nagging at all, the nagging made Li Zhou's head quite dizzy, and he had an urge not to enter the palace.
Isn't it just about staying at home and enjoying life? Are you going to treat me like that? Say that the wedding date has been decided, let him go to the palace, and by the way, meet his oops fiancΓ©e, and listen to his father and queen mother's nagging.
You've all been sure about something, what else can I say? Didn't you let me in just to warn me, it's boring.
"Ke'er, can I not go!"
"I can't." Without thinking, Ke'er firmly refused.
"Your Highness, you can't be petty at this time, that's a holy order, if you don't go in, it's disobeying the holy order, that's a big crime, if Your Highness has any dissatisfaction, if you have anything to say, just say it here, you can't talk nonsense when you go out, otherwise, big disrespect may be a small crime, and house arrest and demotion may be possible at any time."
Ke'er told him again and again, Li Zhou circled, a little depressed, a little chest tightness, this dress is not very good, worse than the one he usually wears, but there is no way, whoever asks him to enter the palace, he can't wear it.
"Okay, Kerr, I'll go."
"Your Highness, go slowly."

β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chang'an, the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial city of Chang'an, a cold palace that has stood in Chang'an for many years, the lofty walls make the bread dense, without a trace of breeze, the oppressive atmosphere, the cold and heavy, the glorious palace that makes people feel excited, stretches endlessly, extends to the farthest place that the eye can see, and there is still no end in sight.
Under the imperial city, there were guards, blocked at the city gate, with a ruthless expression, scanning the people who came in and out, there were big officials, eunuchs, relatives of the emperor, and some palace maids came out to do things, all of them had to pass their inspection, the carriage came with a grunt, and was intercepted by them, Xiao Wu lightly handed out a token, and those guards retreated in fright, and they got out of the way, passed smoothly, and the carriage drove in.
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Xiao Wu's voice came: "Your Highness, it's here." β
The curtain opened, Li Zhou walked out of it, looked around, a little unfamiliar, only had a little impression in his mind, knew where this place was, nodded, and turned around: "Okay, I'll go in first, you wait here." β
"Yes, Your Highness."
Xiao Wu drove the carriage away and came to the palace where the carriage was specially placed, and Li Zhou, stepping into the palace, this was the first time he came in, everywhere he looked, he was curious, the things he saw overlapped with his mind one by one, he was familiar with the direction, and stepped in alone.
I have seen a few groups of people back and forth, the palace maids and eunuchs all have them, and when they saw Li Zhou's clothes, they saluted and retreated, no one came to disturb Li Zhou, Li Zhou was also happy to be quiet, and walked to the inside of the palace step by step, his father's side.
Go to him as soon as possible, lest there be any gossip, through many obstacles, one after another like a labyrinth of pavilions, after countless circles, Li Zhou couldn't help but sigh that this place is really big, he has been walking for so long, and he has not yet arrived, fortunately, he is familiar with the road, if he is not familiar with the road, he must be lost.
"It's big, it's brilliant."
I sincerely sigh at the glorious palace in my heart, which is the condensation of an era, the glory of an era, and the most beautiful crystallization of an era.
After stumbling, Li Zhou finally came to the palace, outside the palace stood a eunuch who had been waiting for a long time, fifty or sixty years old, his temples were a little gray, his old face was cold, and he was smiling. β
"Father has been waiting for a long time? Have they all arrived? Li Zhou couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't come too late, how could there be someone earlier than him.
"But no, Your Majesty's fifth watch has already risen, waiting for His Royal Highness to arrive, Miss Zhao, oh, no, it is the imperial concubine who has already come to the palace first, and she is waiting for the lecture inside, just send your Highness."
The old eunuch warned Li Zhou with a kind face, asking him to be careful, Li Zhou nodded gratefully, walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, the golden pillar was shining with the golden yellow that belonged to it, and Li Zhou, who was completely shocked, was already numb to this, and went up to salute.
"After the sons and daughters visit their fathers and queen mothers, may the father and queen mother be well."
"Get up."
The voice was a little lazy and weak, Li Zhou answered yes, stood up, looked up at his father, golden clothes, full of dignity, sitting there, as if majestic and full of deterrence, so oppressed that the people below did not dare to think about it, the eyebrows were delicate, the white skin, the white was a little envied by Li Zhou, Li Zhou knew that this was a sick white.
Li Zhi is sick, as we all know, his eyes are bright, he looks at Li Zhou with kindness, does not nod, does not shake his head, scans Li Zhou, Li Zhou treats him calmly, from his eyes, Li Zhou can see his love for himself, and his fatherly expression shows his body.
Li Zhou couldn't help but sigh that this father really fulfilled his responsibility as a father, whether it was treating him or his brother, he gave them the feeling of being a loving father, Li Zhi coughed and said: "Zhe'er is here, this wife I arranged for you, take a look, is it satisfactory?" β
While speaking, Li Zhou could feel that his mother's gaze was fixed on him, which was meaningful, Li Zhou turned his head to look over, and smiled slightly, he had seen it twice, this time it was the third time, there was no strangeness of disobedience, the woman smiled faintly, a little surprised, I didn't expect it to be him.
Is he the seventh son of the emperor?
How is it different from the rumors?
Not losing her politeness, Zhao Wanshuang bent down and saluted: "Wanshuang has seen His Highness." β
Be polite and respectful, everything is in plain sight.
Li Zhou looked at his father Li Zhi and his mother Wu Meiniang with a smile, bent down and saluted: "Father and Queen Mother are bothered." β
Li Zhi didn't look like he was perfunctory, the boulder in his heart relaxed, and said with a smile: "Zhe'er, this Zhao woman is your mother's favorite, you have to be grateful to your mother for finding you such a good wife." β
"Hehe, no, no, it's all Your Majesty's credit, Your Majesty's vision is unique, and it has nothing to do with Mei Niang." Wu Meiniang politely refused, with a faint smile between her eyebrows, and nodded with satisfaction.
The bull's head doesn't match the horse's mouth, those who read it don't understand, but those who don't read it do, Li Zhou smiled dumbly: "Thank you, father and queen mother." β
"This Zhao woman's name is Wanshuang, she is the only daughter of Zhao Guogong, Zhe'er, you can't live up to others." Li Zhi reprimanded a few words tactfully, he loved Wanshuang so much, he was reluctant to reprimand more, and the same was true for Li Zhou, he said a few words, and there was no follow-up.
It's nothing more than so-and-so, don't let people chill their hearts, and be grateful to someone, study hard and so on, Li Zhou, listen very carefully, although they are all pretended, the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out, I didn't listen to a few words, it is this appearance that makes Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang nod with satisfaction, my son is so obedient, I am also satisfied.
After a lot of nonsense, Li Zhi stopped nagging, Wu Meiniang sat there, silent, and said a sentence or two from time to time, a virtuous and virtuous mother, people who don't know who she is really deceived by her.
"Zhe'er, you haven't come to see your father for a long time, today, your father won't hinder you, accompany Wanshuang well, oh, by the way, your sister also entered the palace today, if you're okay, go see her."
Li Zhi said a little tiredly, Li Zhou nodded and said, "Obey." β
"The father and the emperor rested earlier, and the son retired." Li Zhou glanced at Wanshuang, and after Wanshuang bent down and saluted, she retreated, and after watching the two go out with a tacit understanding, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang smiled at each other, and said with relief: "Zhe'er has grown up and is sensible." β
Wu Meiniang nodded and said with satisfaction: "Yes, Zhe'er has really grown up, I still remember the last time he was still half-dead, and he didn't have a good color when he saw anyone, but now when he looks at it, it has become a little reassuring." β
Peace of mind, whose peace of mind?
Is it really safe?
The more secure it is, the more uneasy it becomes.
"Yes, I'm a little relieved, and I'm very relieved that the most unsuccessful Zhe'er has also grown up." Li Zhi stroked his chin and beard, satisfied, not noticing the strangeness of the people around him, his eyes flickered, and his gaze turned.
"Mei Niang, we are all old, old, and we can't accept it."
"Hehe, where is Your Majesty old, Your Majesty will definitely be able to live a long life, don't say these unlucky words."
"Hooray? Hehe, that's just a joke, I'm very satisfied to live to this day, it's nothing more than a long life. β
The smile is somewhat far-fetched, but I don't know whose smile it is.
"Ahem."
