Chapter 9: The Palace
Tongyang County, the capital of Daji, is located in the center of Daji, surrounded by mountains and rivers and rich in materials. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Daji has been rich and strong in the past hundred years since the founding of the country, but when the previous emperor Jiahe Emperor Shen Qing was in power, there was turmoil in the court. Emperor Jiahe was very beautiful, and when he was old, he should have forcibly married the young and beautiful princess Li Xiangran of the neighboring country, which caused war between the two countries several times. Jiahe's imperial harem is full but full of incense. In the early years, only one prince was born, Shen Mo'an, and the princes and princesses born later all died for various reasons. It wasn't until the year of the rotten wood that he had another son.
At that time, Prime Minister Ran Xu Tu took the fortune teller into the palace overnight, saying that the surname "Shen" had a big murderer, and the little prince who had just been full term was afraid that he could not withstand this danger, so he reported it to Emperor Jiahe. If you want to change to someone else, you will die if you go on this kind of fold, but Ran Xu Tude is highly respected, and he knelt in the hall for three days and three nights at a young age, and finally Emperor Jiahe took his fold. Shen Qing was afraid that the prince he had in his old age would die again, so he listened to Ran Xutu's advice and asked the little prince to follow his mother Li Xiangran's surname and give him the name You Ge.
The difference between the eldest prince Shen Mo'an and the little prince Li Youge is more than twenty years old.
Shen Mo'an was over thirty years old before he ascended the throne as emperor, called Emperor Yanchang. Emperor Yanchang loved this only brother who was more than 20 years younger than him, and immediately named him King Huaiying after ascending the throne. In the early years, Li Youge, the king of Huaiying, was kept in a separate courtyard outside Tongyang County due to a long illness, and did not move back to Tongyang County until he became an adult. Shen Mo'an specially gave the "Chongshan Garden" of Tongyang County as the palace of Huaiying Wang.
Chongshan Garden was built on the east side of Tongyang County, just two blocks away from the Imperial Palace. In addition to the imperial palace, the entire Tongyang County is the most magnificent in Chongshan Garden.
Outside Tongyang County, in a team of dozens of people, in a carriage carved with vermilion lacquer and jade at the beginning, incense burners were lit on the small table, and a few wisps of green smoke slowly rose, turning from thick to faint, and slowly dissipated in mid-air. Li Youge is still sleeping with his eyes closed, today he is wearing a lake blue brocade robe, a few bright lotus embroidered on it, but not half feminine, but a little gentle and charming. The long black hair hung down on one shoulder, dragged all the way to the purple velvet and white flower blanket at his feet, and stretched out a waterfall satin. The undotted vermilion lips still have a hint of frivolous red charm, and the posture of falling asleep seems to be lazy. The fragrance of Xu is incense burner was too strong, Li Youge couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his nose, and snorted softly.
"It's King Huai Sakura's carriage, and King Huai Sakura is back!"
At this moment, there were several noises on the road ahead, and the gatekeepers of Tongyang County hurriedly opened the city gate, and more than a dozen city guards stood straight on both sides of the city gate, respectfully welcoming the prince into the city.
The carriage in which Mo Fuluo and the others were riding was at the back of the line, and when she heard the sound and lifted the curtain on the carriage to look out, what she saw was the city wall with the words "Tongyang County" written on it.
Looking at the heavy gray stone wall, she tried to stabilize her mind, but she still couldn't suppress the turbulence that came up from her heart.
It was as if it was just a moment, overlapping with a scene in my memory that I didn't want to remember.
Eight years ago, under the gate of Tongyang County, her father's blood-stained hands caressed her face and pushed him into Moran's arms.
She was carried by Moran and ran until she ran out of the city, blood spilled all over her back, and the last thing she saw in her crying and swollen dark eyes was her father holding a sword and slashing her neck......
Today, the gate is still magnificent, and there is no longer a trace of bloodshed.
However, there are some sins that can never be washed away.
While Mo Fuluo's thoughts were wandering, the carriage had already driven into the city.
As soon as you enter Tongyang County, prosperity is present.
Some of the passers-by wore rich brocade clothes, some wore coarse cloth robes, men, women, children, and all kinds of people gathered in this city.
The shouts of various merchants and hawkers, and the conversations between various groups of people, were mixed together, and it was not lively.
Mo Fuluo looked at the prosperity of this city, but he was not touched in the slightest.
Scold.....
She sneered inwardly.
How many dirty deeds are hidden behind this prosperous world?
"Hmmm......"
Moran, who had been sleeping in his arms, let out a soft sigh and slowly opened his eyes.
"Aunt Lan, are you awake? Feeling better? ā
Mo Fu hurriedly lowered the curtain and turned to look at Mo Lan.
"Much better." Moran moved his arm and asked softly, "I heard something, is this already there?" ā
"Well, it's already there." Mo Fuluo responded lightly, and carefully helped her up according to Mo Lan's movements, half-leaning in the carriage.
"Aunt Lan, if you hold on, you will be able to go to the room to lie down in the palace in a while."
"Hey......" Moran sighed heavily, opened his mouth to say something more, but in the end he didn't say anything more. She closed her eyes again, leaned back in the carriage and stopped talking, and quietly seemed to fall asleep again.
Mo Fuluo understood Mo Lan's current mood, she raised her hand, just gently smoothed the messy hair around her ears, and then said no more.
After some unknown time, the carriage finally came to a stop after a lot of noise and bumps along the way.
After a while, Izawa's voice was heard outside the car.
"Miss Mo, Chongshan Garden has arrived."
Mo Fuluo raised his hand and wanted to pick up Mo Lan, but she stopped him.
"I'll go by myself." Moran staggered to his feet, propped himself up in the carriage, lifted the curtain and stepped down.
Standing on the ground, even though he was extremely weak due to the poison in his body, Moran still straightened up stiffly.
Mo Fuluo watched from behind, and couldn't help but feel sour. She hurriedly jumped out of the car and grabbed Moran.
Looking up, it is a majestic mansion, and the large plaque of golden silk wood is hung high above, and there are several vigorous characters on it: Chongshan Garden.
Mo Fuluo was still wearing the same black clothes full of knives, which was a little out of place with the nobility in front of the palace.
At this time, the palace of Chongshan Garden was already full of kneeling people.
The aqua-blue figure at the front, who was surrounded by a group of people, waved his hand to the crowd kneeling on the ground, and a girl in brocade clothes in the front stepped forward with a light blessing.
"Lord Wang, you're back." A soft and sweet voice came out, and the girl in the costume looked at Li Youge with a pair of watery eyes, her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness.
"Hmm." Li Youge just answered and walked past her, walking towards the gate of Chongshan Garden without stopping.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Jun'er's eyes but quickly dissipated, and a smile appeared on her red lips, and her already beautiful facial features were even more stunning, only to see everyone shake their heads.
Looking at Li Youge, who had already stepped into the house, Liu Jun'er hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt, moved slightly, and followed.
The people who greeted him outside the mansion saw that the master had already entered the mansion, so they also followed behind, and the crowd soon dispersed.
"Miss Mo, let's go in too." Ize said to Mo Fu and the others.
Mo Fu took Mo Lan in his arms, nodded slightly, and followed Yi Ze into Chongshan Garden.
