The next day, the eldest princess and his wife took Xilingyue and Guo Zhongting into the palace to thank them.

This is not the first time Xiling Yue has entered the palace, and she has been here last time to help the Queen Mother find Shu brocade who made clothes. But last time, he came quietly, and his status was low, so he didn't have the opportunity to really appreciate Daming Palace.

And this time, she is the newly baked county lord of Xichuan, and she entered the palace from Wangxian Gate in a four-horse carriage, and her momentum is naturally different. Along the way, she lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, the rolling palace walls, the pavilions that went straight into Xiaohan, and the magnificent palace...... Everywhere reveals solemnity and solemnity, which is daunting.

The eldest princess also talked about the history of Daming Palace in her ear.

Daming Palace is located outside the north city of Chang'an City, north of Weishui, west of Taiji Palace. A mountain symbolizing the dragon vein starts from the southwest of Chang'an City, stretches for sixty miles to the north, and is just the commanding height here, also known as the "dragon's head". Daming Palace is built on this dragon head, the terrain is high, standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an City.

In fact, at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the center of imperial power was not in Daming Palace, but in Taiji Palace. Gaozu Li Yuan built the Taiji Palace according to the theory of "Zhou Yi", which is located in the north of Chang'an City and symbolizes the North Star. Since then, Gaozu Li Yuan and Taizong Li Shimin have all handled government affairs and reproduced heirs in Taiji Palace, which has become a symbol of imperial power in the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Gaozu built the Taiji Palace, he only considered the convenience of feng shui and roads, and built it in the north of Chang'an City, which happened to be a depression, and the summer was humid and hot, which was not conducive to habitation. When Gojong Li Zhi ascended the throne, the emperor suffered from rheumatism and could not stand the humidity here, so he decided to move the center of imperial power away.

The Daming Palace was originally located after Gaozu Chan was located in Taizong, and Taizong built a residence for his father to live for his life. After Gojong decided to relocate, he surveyed many places and thought that the feng shui here was the best, the terrain was the highest, and the climate was the best, which was conducive to cultivating the body and mind, so he made great repairs and officially moved here.

Since then, Daming Palace has officially taken over the status of Taiji Palace and become the new symbol of imperial power in the Tang Dynasty.

The carriage drove into the back courtyard of the inner garden, and Xiling Yue also heard the origin of Daming Palace. Then the family took the shoulder to the north of the Taiye Pond to pick up the cui hall, just off the shoulder to hear a burst of laughter in the hall.

Xiling Yue thought that she was just meeting the Son of Heaven and Concubine Guo, but she didn't expect that there would be so many people in the hall, and she was nervous before she walked up the steps.

The eldest princess smiled with satisfaction: "The saint is still saving face, and it seems that he has recruited all your uncles." ”

Xilingyue was stunned for a moment, and then understood what "all uncles" meant. In other words, all the siblings of the saint and the eldest princess, that is, all the brothers of Li Chengxuan, including himself...... Are they all here?

Xilingyue suddenly didn't want to go in.

Seeing this, the eldest princess comforted her: "It's okay, it's all your elders, and you always want to see them." ”

Guo Zhongting also persuaded her: "Even if it is for the meeting gift of your uncles, you have to go in!" ”

Xilingyue laughed out loud, most of her nervousness was gone, and she was about to step in, when the eldest princess stopped her again and said, "Good boy, the royal family is complicated, if someone deliberately embarrasses you, you must not be polite." ”

Xiling Yue was a little surprised: "Aren't they all elders?" Who will embarrass me? ”

"Naturally, it's not aimed at you, it's just a matter of using the topic to play." The eldest princess looked as usual, "Don't worry, the daughter of the Guo family still has this confidence." ”

Xilingyue nodded, she originally thought that the eldest princess would let her endure. Since my mother has spoken like this, what ......

"Then what if the Holy One uses the topic to play?" She asked again in a whisper.

The eldest princess smiled faintly: "The Holy Lord will only watch the play. ”

Xiling Yue didn't seem to understand, but the eldest princess didn't say much, tidied up her appearance and entered the Shicui Palace. The rest of the group stepped along.

As soon as the family entered the temple gate, they heard a young man shouting, "Come, come!" It's finally here! ”

The eldest princess smiled lightly, did not answer, and respectfully knelt down to the man on the throne and bowed: "Hanyang brought her husband Guo Yan, Zi Zhongting, and Nu Lingyue to see the Holy Lord, and thank the Holy Lord." ”

As soon as the words came out, Guo Yan's father and son (daughter) were also

Qi Qi knelt on the ground and echoed: "The minister bows and thanks the Holy Lord." ”

"It's all a family, and the imperial sister is too polite." The man on the throne laughed loudly, "Alright, sit down." ”

Only then did the eldest princess lead the family to get up and sit down at the head of the emperor.

Xiling Yue's eyes swept away, and I saw two columns on the left and right under the Danqi, and eight or nine people sat in each column in turn, all of whom looked like young nobles. There are even a few teenagers at the bottom, whose faces are still immature, and they don't look as old as her.

Undoubtedly, these are the twenty siblings of the current saint, that is, her twenty uncles in Xilingyue. In fact, there were more than 20 people, but King Mi and King Shao died young, and they died last year and this year respectively. And a few of the people here don't look very good, they should be here today, and it seems that their life span is not long.

Thinking like this, Xiling Yue looked up inadvertently, and with just one glance, she saw that the man sitting opposite her was dressed in a black brocade robe, with a fierce pattern, a golden crown and a hook belt, and a face like Langyu, it was Li Chengxuan, the king of blessings. Seeing a familiar person, her apprehension calmed down a little, and she smiled at Li Chengxuan, but the other party didn't seem to see it, and lowered her head to drink tea as if nothing happened.

Xilingyue thought that he did it on purpose, and couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a sentence from above the Danqi: "This is our Xichuan County Lord?" What a beautiful child. ”

Xiling Yue didn't have time to react, so she heard the eldest princess scold her: "Yue'er, don't go and see the saint soon." ”

Xilingyue was excited, and hurriedly got up and bowed again: "The courtier Guo Lingyue has seen the saint. ”

When today's son Li Chun, the eldest son of the former emperor Shunzong, ascended the throne for two years, he was standing at a young age, and his figure was thin. Xilingyue looked quietly, and saw that he had handsome eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips slightly hooked, and a pair of handsome eyes with a slight smile, revealing a trace of affection.

Just looking at the face, there are five points similar to Li Chengxuan today, but there is no Li Chengxuan's aura and grandeur. It's no wonder that although the two of them are compatriots of the same mother, after all, he is seven years older than Li Chengxuan, and he has to work on state affairs, his eyes are already a little tired, and his eyes are blue, but he is still in good spirits.

The Son of Heaven was dressed very plainly today, wearing a moon-white regular robe, with a hollow and gold-inlaid jade belt around his waist, sitting on the main seat very casually, and posing amiably.

However, Xiling Yue didn't feel his amiability at all, because of the preconceived impression, because of everything he did to Li Chengxuan.

"Hey, call uncle!" The Son of Heaven smiled kindly at her.

Xiling Yue came back to her senses and was as good as a stream: "Yes, Yue'er has seen her uncle." ”
