Zhao Ying took Li Yinglong to the noon gate of the palace, and saw her take out a sign from her arms and light it up to the defenders on both sides of the door, and a defender leader waved his hand to the two and let the two in.

Then Zhao Ying took Li Yinglong to walk on the streets of the palace for a long time, and finally came to the entrance of a garden and stopped, Zhao Ying pointed to the garden with his hand and said: This is the imperial garden, you wait in this garden for a while, I will go to see if the emperor has time now, and then come to take you to see the emperor.

Li Yinglong asked suspiciously: Hey, you won't leave me here and walk alone, right?

Hearing this, Zhao Ying smiled charmingly and said: No, no, I'll be back in a while.

Li Yinglong didn't believe Zhao Ying's words very much, he couldn't help muttering to himself, this girl's smile is not funny, I always feel that there is a smell of conspiracy, I don't know what kind of tricks this crazy woman is going to do, but it doesn't matter, Fan Zheng has already entered the palace, she won't take me to find me alone, who is afraid of whom.

Zhao Ying turned around and walked away.

After watching Zhao Ying leave, Li Yinglong exaggerated the way she walked and walked towards the imperial garden, and then he wandered around the imperial garden.

The imperial garden is very large, and the scenery is also very beautiful, and Li Yinglong watched it everywhere with great interest.

But no matter how big the garden is, there is a time to finish it, and in about half an hour, Li Yinglong walked through the entire imperial garden, but he didn't see Zhao Ying show up.

Li Yinglong couldn't help but secretly say, this crazy woman really can't do tricks, bastard, do you think I'm a three-year-old child, can't I find it if you don't take me to find me, isn't it just a broken emperor, as long as he doesn't get into the mouse hole, grandpa, I can dig you out.

Thinking about it, he pulled out his legs and walked towards the outside of the Imperial Garden.

Li Yinglong walked east and west and came to a very large palace, looking from a distance, there is a plaque above the palace gate, which reads "Cining Palace" three words.

Li Yinglong had watched several palace TV series in his previous life, and he knew what kind of place this Cining Palace was, it should be the queen mother's bedroom, and the queen mother was the emperor's mother, where there was the emperor's mother, maybe the emperor was also in it. Even if the emperor is not inside, the emperor's mother should know where the emperor is, and it will be easy to ask her and then look for it.

Thinking about it, he walked towards Cining Palace with a step.

Outside the Cining Palace, there were more than a dozen guards armed with long swords.

As soon as Li Yinglong approached, all the guards became vigilant, and a man with a head looked like a leader stopped him and asked sharply: What are you doing?

Li Yinglong said: I have something to find the emperor, is the emperor inside?

Hearing this, the head of the guard said sharply: This is Cining Palace, the emperor is not here, you leave quickly, otherwise it will be rude to you.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong glared and said: If the emperor is not inside, he is not inside, why are you so fierce, besides, even if the emperor is not inside, the emperor's mother, isn't the queen mother inside, I can ask the queen mother where the emperor is.

Li Yinglong's words revealed that he was not from the palace, and the head of the guard was startled, and then waved his hand violently and shouted: This person is an assassin, catch the assassin!

Hearing this, all the guards suddenly rushed up and surrounded Li Yinglong in the middle.

Seeing this, Li Yinglong was stunned and said: "What are you doing, why are you going to fight, I didn't provoke you, why are you fighting with me?"

All the guards stretched out their hands and pulled out their respective matching swords.

Li Yinglong was in a hurry, and shouted to the palace: Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you are inside, come out quickly, otherwise I will have to fight with your men! Also, if the emperor is not there, come out quickly, otherwise, I will have to fight with your son's subordinates, and I will be irresponsible if I break them.

The shouting alarmed the people in the house, and as soon as the door opened, a beautiful woman in her thirties dressed in palace clothes came out.

This beautiful woman is the emperor's mother in Li Yinglong's mouth, the queen mother Feng Niang.

When the queen mother saw that the guards surrounded a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old who was about to use force, she hurriedly asked: What's the matter?

The head of the guard hurriedly saluted the Empress Dowager and said: "Empress Dowager, this person is not from the palace, it is very suspicious, we suspect that he is an assassin."

Hearing this, Li Yinglong said angrily: What nonsense are you, what is suspicious, assassin, I am the first place in this year's Beijing exam, that is, the first place in the first place, I have something to come to the emperor.

After that, he looked at the Queen Mother and asked: That lady, you should be the emperor's mother and the Queen Mother, may I ask, is the emperor inside?

Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at Li Yinglong, and her body couldn't help but tremble violently, and she couldn't help but secretly say in her heart, this young man looks very much like Heng'er, could it be that the young man Heng'er said?

So she hurriedly said to the head of the guard: I know this young man, and the emperor also knows, let him into the palace.

Hearing this, the head of the guard replied: Yes!

After that, he waved his hand to the guards, and the guards scattered and returned to their original positions to stand guard.

Then the Empress Dowager beckoned to Li Yinglong and said: This champion, please come into the palace to speak.

Li Yinglong looked at the guards who had withdrawn, and then said to the head of the guard: It's this lady, oh, no, it was the queen mother who let me in, I went in.

The head of the guard waved at him.

So Li Yinglong walked towards the gate of Cining Palace.

The Empress Dowager sat Li Yinglong on a chair, and then she also sat down on the bed opposite.

Li Yinglong looked back and forth, left and right, and then made a strange appearance and said: There is nothing afraid of people in this Cining Palace, why are those people outside so fierce, I thought there was a tiger locked up here.

Hearing this, the queen mother laughed "snorted", and said with a smile: The palace is different from the outside, it is not allowed to break in privately, and some places are to be killed if you break in, my Cining Palace is such a place, you are very lucky today, just in time for me in the palace, otherwise you will definitely be hacked to death by those guards outside as assassins.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong stuck out his tongue in fright and said: It's so terrible, I know, I won't enter the palace in the future.

But I scolded secretly in my heart, Zhao Ying, this crazy woman, isn't this deliberately harming me.

The Queen Mother asked with a smile: Are you the top champion of this year's scientific examination?

Li Yinglong nodded and said: Yes, I am.

The Empress Dowager asked again: What did you do when you came to the palace to find the emperor?

Li Yinglong said: I came to the emperor to beg him to take the top prize I was admitted to, but I don't want it.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was shocked and said: What, you want the emperor to take away the fame you have already obtained, why?

Li Yinglong said: This matter is a long story, and I can't say it clearly for a while, in a word, I'm not interested in being an official, so I don't want it.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother asked strangely: Since this is the case, then why are you still coming to participate in this year's scientific examination, if you don't come, there will be nothing?

Li Yinglong made a dejected look and said: What is it that I want to come, it was my old father-in-law who forced me to come, I had no choice but to come, I originally wanted to be a scene and go through the motions, but who knew that I was inexplicably admitted, and I also took the first place, which is inexplicably outrageous, who to reason with.

The Queen Mother smiled and said: You came to go through the motions and took the first place in the exam, if you take the exam seriously, you will still get it.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong suddenly pointed to his head with his hand and asked: Queen Mother, is there something wrong with the emperor here?

The queen mother laughed again, and said in her heart, this young man is really bold, and he dares to say that the emperor has a disease in his head in front of me, the emperor's mother.

But she said: The emperor is very good, and he has no illness.

Li Yinglong said: I was not sick and I was given the first place, I think I couldn't have done a better job.

The queen mother smiled and said: That is the modest words of the child, so the son can get the first place in the exam, there must be something that others can't compare, I think the emperor will not mistake the first place.

Hearing this, Li Yinglong said in a very helpless tone: Right or wrong, it's all decided anyway, what I have to do now is to find the emperor quickly, take off my first place, and I'll be able to go.

After speaking, he paused, and suddenly asked: By the way, the Queen Mother, can you help me find the emperor?

The Queen Mother smiled and said: The emperor doesn't say that you can see him, but I have a way for you to see him.

After that, he turned his head and shouted: Someone.

A eunuch hurriedly ran in and bowed to Feng Niang and asked: The slave is here, what does the queen mother command.

The Empress Dowager instructed: Sanhua, you go to the Taihe Hall to see what the emperor is doing, and if there is nothing to do, let him come to me.

Sanhua hurriedly responded: Yes!

In response, he turned around and hurried out.
