On the official road outside the capital, a brown-red carriage slowly approached.

In this prosperous capital, there should be a lot of traffic on the official road, and there should be a few hawkers sitting at the gate of the city to sell. But at this moment, there was no one but the Praetorian Guard at the gate of the city and the chariot with a light blue curtain.

This is a very unusual thing in normal times, but now, everyone understands what it is about. This year, the emperor has been on the throne for five years, and he is also catching up with the 35th birthday, and this year is also in time for the congratulations of all countries, and there is a lot of martial law in the capital. Recently, you are only allowed to enter but not to go out, but this is not an easy thing to enter, no matter how big or small the glory and wealth, all have to be searched, if you are not convinced, one accidentally said the wrong thing, then it doesn't matter who you are, go to the prison for a few days first, and wait for the limelight to pass and then interrogate. Don't say anything else, let's just say that the second son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites is still crying in prison. But this is the emperor's will, not to mention that he is just the son of the Shangshu family, even if Shangshu himself comes, he has to stay honestly in prison.

This is absolutely impossible to come out, even if you are a martial arts master, this Praetorian Guard is not a vegetarian, and it will inevitably be targeted, so if there is no major event, they will stay in the capital, even if there is a big event, I am afraid that it can only be a flying pigeon at this time. But it was not easy to get in, but the carriage did not care, but only headed towards the door, and did not show any signs of stopping.

"This, this is?" The two Praetorian Guards at the gate were stunned for a while, the ban in the capital was sent to all parts of the county, and even the people in the rivers and lakes had heard of it, if there was anyone in this world who didn't know, it could only be a black household hiding in the old forest of the forest. But this black household will never come to the capital, and even if there is, he will not rent such an eye-catching carriage to show off the market. Those who can use it are either rich businessmen or wealthy families, but where did they have the courage to ignore the emperor's ban. The two looked at each other, and for a while they didn't have time to stop them.

It wasn't until the carriage gradually entered, and they saw that they were about to enter the capital through the gate, and the two of them reacted, but as soon as they took a step, they were stopped by the commander on the side: "You two see clearly, this can't be stopped." ”

"But, isn't it the Holy Decree that anyone, even the envoys, will stop and inspect it?" One of them was the person who arrested the second son of the Shangshu family two days ago, and he couldn't help but panic a little at the moment, if he missed it or saw it wrong, wouldn't he turn around

The commander knew what he was thinking, and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be afraid, Shangshu Gongzi is nothing, as long as Shangshu still wants to keep the black yarn hat, he will definitely not let you have an accident." As for the current one, but the emperor's biological sister, Princess Qingyang's Luan, naturally there is no need to check it out. ”

"But, if someone kidnaps the princess and breaks into the capital"

The commander nodded slightly, and quietly pointed to the coachman who was driving the carriage and looked ordinary, and said, "That is the head of the Royal Forest Army, and he was specially called to take the princess into Beijing." If he can't protect the princess, I think it would be useless for us to check it out. Well, go back. ”

"Mother, this capital is really big, but it's not that the people in the capital are, why haven't I seen anyone?" Inside the carriage, a fifteen-year-old girl with hanging sideburns stretched out her head curiously, lifted the curtain and looked around, but unfortunately there was no one on the street, and all she could see was the yard of a house, and occasionally you could see a person or two people walking, but they were also in a hurry and did not stop.

Princess Qingyang sighed slightly, but it will be the birthday of the imperial brother in half a month, and the border is not very peaceful this year, I heard that the Xiongnu, the envoys from the Western Regions are also quite arrogant in the capital, and it is no wonder that the people in the capital are panicked, and it is normal for the people who have lived around the city gate for a long time not to dare to go out easily. However, she didn't explain much, just said: "Yue'er, don't be so naughty, when you get to the inner courtyard of the palace, it will not be more than at home, there are more rules." You have to remember what I told you on the way, although the emperor is your own uncle, you haven't seen him a few times. If you accidentally offend any of them, although they won't offend us on the surface, you have to be careful to play some tricks on them behind your back."

Yue'er's laughter like a silver bell sounded in the carriage: "Mother, you have said all the way, the inner courtyard of the palace is really as terrifying as my mother said, so why do so many women have to compete to enter the palace." I don't believe it, my mother is the sister of the emperor's uncle, no matter how bold they are, they will always sell you a few thin noodles. ”

Qingyang frowned, but didn't say anything more. Although this harem matter has little to do with their mother and daughter, she doesn't know who Yue'er's temperament has offended. Although no concubine would be willing to offend her, the imperial sister, it is not difficult for this harem to secretly give Yue'er some small measures. Qingyang also knows that Yue'er has never been exposed to this complicated harem since she was a child, and she grew up peacefully, although she has heard a little about the harem, she doesn't take it to heart. It seemed that it was useless to tell her, Qingyang looked at the little maid sitting on the side and winked. The little maid nodded hurriedly, and when she was at home, the princess had instructed her to beware of the county lord making trouble, and she should be more careful.

Although the west gate is not far from the palace, it took a long time to see the palace gate, which was just after noon and entered Beijing, but it was almost dinner time, and the sun was gradually setting. They stopped at the gate of the palace for a short time, but after a long time the carriage continued to drive inside.

Yue'er is not very peaceful on the way, especially just after the city gate, there are gradually more people, although it cannot be compared with the busy scene on weekdays, but also saw a very prosperous scene. Princess Qingyang is married to Mingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, although there are many people, they are all gentle people, and such a lively scene is really not common. But when she arrived near the palace, there was no one left, but fortunately, the magnificent appearance of the palace attracted a lot of her attention. It's just that when she entered the palace, she was not very quiet, how could she see the scenery in Jiangnan, she moved restlessly, but when she saw that her mother's face had become a little gloomy, she had to stick out her tongue and sit down quietly.

"Princess Qingyang, Chenluo City, was ordered to meet the princess. Princess, please get out of the carriage. At some point, the carriage had stopped, and under the carriage, a man's voice came.
