"It's coming, it's coming!" A servant girl said excitedly, and the crowd that had been waiting for a long time suddenly came forward.

The royal palace is a royal forbidden place, symbolizing the authority of the Son of Heaven, and has always been a place of silence, of course, it is impossible to beat gongs and drums like the world's marriage, lively and lively, but the royal family also has royal etiquette and exquisiteness.

In the distance, the cowhide drums on the four corner towers of the city wall sounded at the same time as Li Xinchen walked into the corridor connecting the palace, and the drums reverberated in the huge palace city, and the sound hit everyone's ears heavily, which made people shocked.

The convoy of relatives passed through the palaces, and at the door of each palace there were a large number of maidservants and attendants crowded together to watch. They have been in the deep palace compound for a long time, and their days are the same, and they have not experienced such a lively scene for a long time.

Not to mention these maidservants and chamberlains, even several princes and princesses, they were also mixed in the crowd, looking at the scene in front of them curiously, they had lived in the deep palace compound for many years, and this was the first time they had seen this kind of scene in front of them.

Several generations of monarchs in Nan Chen are relatively capable of giving birth, and Chen Ji should be the best among them, his sons have forty-one records, and the number of his daughters is said to be more than his sons, making Li Xinchen wonder if Chen Ji remembers the name of each of his children.

And not every child is born powerful, and there are even some in history who are too young to be canonized before they can be canonized. And the rest of the sons and daughters, even if they are canonized, are mostly fictitious, and they still live in Jiankang Mansion.

Only a few older sons will be canonized and take office outside, such as Chen Shuling, the assassin of Yangzhou, Chen Shuying, the assassin of Dongyangzhou (author's note: the third son, Dongyangzhou is today's Shaoxing, Dongyang), and a few others, these people are qualified to go out to take office, mainly because their assassin history or general title does not have much to do with their princes.

And the rest are even if they have knighthoods, but there are no real official positions, they are all in the Jiankang Mansion, the older ones will be given to the mansion outside, and the younger and unmarried princesses are all in the palace.

Otherwise, so many princes are all arranged, I am afraid that the local officials in Nanchen will all become royal, so that in a small way, of course, it is not conducive to the selection of talents, and in a large way, too many royal relatives are scattered everywhere, and it is easy for some lawbreakers to find the opportunity, and finally lead to civil strife and disintegration of the entire dynasty.

Therefore, Nan Chen's arrangement is helpless but reasonable, which can be seen from the fact that after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Nan Chen in history, Nan Chen and these royal clansmen had a headache. After all, at that time, the Sui Dynasty still needed to appease the people and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, and it couldn't go too far with the royal family of Nanchen, so it could only try to arrange official positions for them, but if so many people simply gave them idle jobs, it would be difficult for the imperial court to pay for such a large expense, and in the end they could only hastily disperse these royal relatives to various places, and in the end, it also laid the groundwork for the rebellion of the restoration of Nanchen in the future.

It can be seen that these royal relatives are really a headache.

Their identities sound famous, and the knighthood on their heads can scare people when they are pulled out, but in fact, many of them have never even gone out of the palace gate because they are young. Even if they are older and favored by Chen Ji, such as Princess Lechang and Princess Ningyuan, etc., they are just hanging around in Jiankang Mansion, and they are rarely qualified to go out of Jiankang Mansion, so Lechang cherished going to Jingzhou last time.

As long as the dynasty is peaceful, perhaps they will not have a chance to get out of Jiankang Mansion in their lives.

So maybe some people envy their status, but they don't know that they are imprisoned and free and have no way to make decisions about their future. In the Taiping era, the imperial relatives were still lucky and happy, but the imperial relatives in the troubled times were like grass mustard, and there was no difference between them and those people outside the high walls, and even where they couldn't help themselves, they were even better than those people.

The people inside the walls always envy the people outside the walls for being so free, and the people outside the walls are not envious of the people inside the walls who have no worries about food and clothing. So now Li Xinchen is standing inside the high wall, looking at these excited eunuchs and even dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, Li Xinchen is even a little lucky, at least he is outside the high wall, although he is struggling to survive, but at least he still has the possibility of deciding his own fate, at least he will not be like these princes and grandsons of Nan Chen, who can only wait for the changes within the high wall, waiting for his future to be decided.

Li Xinchen sighed softly, maybe he married Lechang at this time, which can be regarded as giving her a new choice, a choice to see the outside world.

Li Xinchen rode his horse to the gate of Lechang's palace, the huge courtyard was already full of people, and when he saw Li Xinchen appear, he immediately burst into cheers. And Li Xinchen turned over and dismounted, strode outside the palace gate, and solemnly arched his hand:

"Chen Zhenxi General Li Xinchen, came to greet His Royal Highness Lechang, and asked His Highness to move."

With the shouts of the attendants on both sides at the same time, the door of the palace slowly opened, and with the support of Princess Ning Yuan and several other maidservants, Lechang with a phoenix crown appeared in front of Li Xinchen's eyes.

The red skull and beaded curtains blocked Lechang's vision, and all she could see was the ground that was constantly moving and changing under her feet. Feeling something, Le Chang raised her head slightly, she heard the man's voice, but there was a red patch everywhere in her eyes, and she couldn't see anything.

"Your Highness, please!" Li Xinchen made a gesture of please and got out of the way.

Princess Ning Yuan smiled at Li Xinchen and gently supported Lechang: "Sister, slow down, steps." ”

Lechang trembled lightly and responded. She could feel that Li Xinchen was by her side, and she could even hear his breathing closely, how much she wanted to jump into his arms at this time, and then tell him to get out of here and go as far as possible.

But she can't, as the princess of Nan Chen, she must complete these rituals in front of her first.

Li Xinchen said that he wanted to believe her, but he originally thought that he would find a chance to leave on the way to the imperial city, and he thought that he would hurry away after accepting Chen Ji's interview, but he still appeared in front of him.

What the hell was he thinking, didn't he know that it would be more dangerous if he continued to drag on?

Li Xinchen strode up to follow Le Chang's figure, and Princess Ning Yuan felt her sister's arm tremble slightly, and realized something at the moment, and turned around and glanced at the few maidservants who followed behind, and the maids suddenly realized and stopped their steps.
