Because of Yingda's halfway interception, Ye Youhuan was late for the banquet.

Gonggong Li, the chief eunuch, accepted Ye Youhuan's two gold leaves, and signaled Ye Youhuan not to worry too much, which made Ye Youhuan down-to-earth.

On the way to the Imperial City, Zhong Ling looked at Ye Youhuan from time to time and snickered.

Ye Youhuan couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Zhong Ling posted it to Ye Youhuan's ear: "Big cousin, with your current image, you are definitely the most beautiful person in the imperial city." ”

Ye Youhuan looked down at herself, there were large and small cuts on her clothes, and a few pieces of rags swaying in the wind, stubble, like a begging for food.

Ye Youhuan was also helpless, but his mouth was still very hard: "This is a strategy, so it has to be different." ”

"True or false!" Zhong Ling replied directly.

"Who's fake?" Ye Youhuan was not convinced, and deliberately pestled Yang Xie, insisting on pulling Yang Xie to agree with his own point of view.

Yang Xie was stunned for a moment, unwilling to agree, but still agreed: "Yes! The general's plan is very high! ”

"Where is Gao, you explain it to her! Otherwise, she won't accept it! ”

“……”

Yang Xie was also speechless for a while, this dress was obviously broken by someone because of an accident, and he had to find a beautiful reason to raise the bar with someone, this general was naïve, and it was really unreliable.

Although Yang Xie thought so in his heart, he still helplessly helped: "In ancient times, there were sages who saw the king in rags to express that I was just poor, but not poor. The implication is that people with talents have nowhere to display, and that is called difficulty. But I'm in tatters, I was born at the wrong time, it's not that I don't want to show it! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone including Ye Youhuan was shocked.

Ye Youhuan was so satisfied with Yang Xie's words, he patted Yang Xie on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Beautiful!" You can say that again! ”

"Big cousin, did you hear that? Sages! Cousin, this is a sage! Trick! ”

The more Ye Youhuan spoke, the more he felt that the fight just now was not in vain.

After a short time, the group came to Xuanming Gate.

Xuanming Gate is the most magnificent building on Fengque Street, and it is also the only entrance and exit to the imperial city in the main city.

The entrance inspection of Xuanming Gate is extremely strict, and all people entering and exiting need to be equipped with a waist card or entry and exit certificate.

Gonggong Li led Ye Youhuan to enter the imperial city first.

As soon as you enter the Imperial City, the style of the entire street is completely different from that of the main city.

Red bricks and red tiles, brightly lit. You can see the green trees and hear the murmuring of the water. The murals on the walls are lifelike, and the stone carvings everywhere are meticulously carved.

Ye Youhuan walked on the brick avenue for the first time, neat, smooth, and bright, and it felt unprecedented.

He couldn't help but sigh secretly: "The emperor of a big country used to live in such a magnificent way, this trip was not in vain, and I will have such a day to live in such an imperial city." ”

Gonggong Li led Ye Youhuan and a few people, bypassed the Guangting Palace, and went straight to the back garden.

When the group entered the back garden, they were stunned by the scenery in front of them.

The night is brightly illuminated, the turquoise artificial lake is brightly lit, several arched bridges are hung with neon near and far, and there are hurried palace people walking on it with all kinds of delicacies.

On the shore, although the weeping willows have no green leaves, they are full of colorful silk and have a unique flavor.

In the middle of the entire back garden is the observation deck, where the seats of the emperor and the princes and ministers have been arranged, and at this moment, except for the emperor's seat in the middle, the rest of the seats are already full.

Ye Youhuan asked the person carrying the gift to follow the little eunuch to the storage room, while he followed Gonggong Li to the viewing platform quickly.

Before Ye Youhuan and the three of them arrived at the observation deck, they saw a team of brightly lit people ascending to the main seat of the observation deck.

Although the man at the front is not tall, he has a majestic temperament. And the two women who followed behind him, dressed gorgeously and richly, with beautiful and dignified faces, knew at a glance that they were not ordinary women.

"Big cousin." Zhong Ling leaned into Ye Youhuan's ear and said, "This is the emperor, right?" He also has two wives. ”

"There must be more than two of them."

"More than that?" Zhong Ling was very surprised: "Is there anyone more than you?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Talk less and watch more. Ye Youhuan reminded Zhong Lingdao.

When Ye Youhuan, who was late, appeared in everyone's field of vision at the same time as the emperor, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, and even the Emperor Jingguo, who had just sat down, was shocked.

Gonggong Li is an old celebrity in front of the emperor, and he seems to be at ease in the face of the emperor's surprise. He took a few steps forward with a smile, and after kneeling, he said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, General Yanguo, General Ye, come to congratulate you on the coming of the New Year!" ”

Emperor Jingguo looked at Ye Youhuan at this time, and frowned involuntarily at Ye Youhuan's rudeness.

Seeing this, Ye Youhuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Ye Youhuan of Yan Kingdom, on behalf of the princess and the people of Yan Kingdom, wish the New Year a good day, and the country and the people are safe!" ”

Emperor Jingguo was not happy, but he didn't want to blame too much on this good day, so he waved his hand and said, "General Ye is exempt from courtesy, sit down." ”

Ye Youhuan and the three of them sat on the side of the chairman's seat, ranking ahead of the ministers of Jingguo, and they were facing Tang Yuxiao Zhan.

Ye Youhuan glanced at the attendees.

It can be seen that the front row are all important ministers, and the concubines and princesses of the palace are sitting behind the ministers, which shows that Emperor Jingguo is a person who regards the ministers more than his family.

Ye Youhuan just sat down for a while, he felt impatient, he glanced around, and found that in addition to the color of mountains and rivers, there were all kinds of corridors, and he couldn't see a single building, let alone a thatched house.

Ye Youhuan patted Yang Xie and whispered, "I'll go and make it easier." ”

Ye Youhuan bypassed the observation deck and slipped into the bushes beside the path.

"Wow-"

Ye Youhuan held back all the way, and he couldn't help but shake a spirit.

"Who are you?!" A loud sound suddenly came from behind him.

Frightened, Ye Youhuan hurriedly picked up her pants and looked back.

Ye Youhuan saw that the person who questioned him turned out to be a big beauty, even in the dim bushes, she could see that her facial features were three-dimensional, and her big eyes were clever and a little tricky.

The girl saw that Ye Youhuan was wearing tattered clothes and urinating everywhere with her pants, so she asked again: "Who are you?!" How to go to the toilet in the back garden?! ”

"Isn't it like I can't find a hut?" Ye Youhuan laughed.

"If you can't find a thatched house, then you're an intruder?" The girl does not give up.

"No, no, no!" Ye Youhuan tied his pants and explained: "I am the emperor's guest!" I just came over there! ”

At this moment, the footsteps of Qi Brush sounded on the path outside the bushes, and it was a team of guards in charge of patrolling.

The girl pursed her lips when she heard the escort from far and near, and said, "How can the palace invite someone like you?" I think you'd better explain it to the guards! ”

With that, the girl turned her face sideways and raised her voice to the path beyond the bushes.
