Chapter 276: Inside the East Palace
"Yes, Brother Erxiong is still smart, then let's find a place to wait" Hearing Erxiong's words, Yaya's eyes lit up and said happily.
But their idea is doomed to failure, for no other reason, where they are is just a small door that people from the East Palace usually go through to buy and buy, not the main gate of the East Palace, Jiaxi Gate.
They waited until it was dark and no one came, and although they were anxious, they did not dare to come forward to ask again.
"You two little things, don't wait here, you really have to wait, go down the city wall, go to the Jiaxi Gate in front and wait! Maybe those princes and ministers will come out, maybe they will reward you, no one will come here, come here for you" or the guard, he really couldn't bear it, the two little beggars in his eyes, just waiting here, and seeing them shivering from the cold, he kindly gave them a steamed bun and showed them the way.
"Ah, are we in the wrong place? Thank you, thank you big brother" Hearing the guard's words, Erxiong and Yaya knew that they had come to the wrong place, and thanked the guard, before slowly following the guard's instructions and walking towards Jiaximen.
And not long after they left, the door behind the guard opened, and Dark 1 came out with a team of people pulling a large amount of supplies from inside.
"What are you doing, why don't you keep watch well" Dark 1 saw the guard coming from outside and reprimanded loudly.
"Adult, the little one should be damned, the little one is to see two little beggars, who have been waiting outside the door for a long time, and gave them a steamed bun to let them leave" Facing the reprimand of Dark 1, the guard hurriedly knelt down and pointed to the maid and the second bear who had already gone away.
"Hmph, next time, I can't get around you, go back and be on duty" After speaking, Dark 1 glanced at the place pointed by the guard, and saw two small figures, helping each other to leave, but he didn't think much about it, so he left with the centaurs.
"I'll just call you, don't meddle in your business, if you don't listen, be reprimanded! Let's be honest! Seeing Darkness 1 leave, the guard's companion whispered to him.
As if he hadn't heard, the guard just looked again in the direction where Yaya and Erxiong had left, and continued to go back to guard the door.
And back to Dark 1, he should be by Li Chengqian's side at this time, why did he leave with supplies!
It turned out that Li Chengqian was at dinner, and secretly ran to Li Chengqian's side and said that he was going to send something to his younger brothers and sisters, after all, it was a holiday, and Li Chengqian remembered the younger brothers and sisters of those teenagers who were still living in the barracks.
He secretly scolded himself for being careless, gave them a holiday, and gave them a lot of things, including food and clothing, and let them all go to Cuihua Mountain for the holiday, which is why there is such a show.
And Yaya and Erxiong were destined to have no results, and sure enough, when the two of them arrived, in front of the Jiaxi Gate, only the carriages of the princes and ministers were left there, and all the people had already entered, and they were disappointed, so they found a place to hug each other, and their eyes were firmly fixed on the spectacular gate of the brightly lit Jiaxi Gate under the high city wall, for fear of missing a little.
Behind the Jiaxi Gate, the entire East Palace was illuminated as if it was daylight, and a gorgeously dressed prince and minister and their wives, under the guidance of the palace maid, walked towards the theater located in the southeast corner of the East Palace.
Although those princes and ministers and their wives were led by the palace maids in elegant manners, the shock in their hearts was not at all.
As soon as they entered the East Palace, they were startled by the festive red Spring Festival couplets and the rows of red lanterns.
And when the palace maids led them on the road to the theater, the translucent palace lamps made countless waves in their hearts, especially when a palace lamp happened to go out, the palace maids opened the lampshade and re-lit the wick inside, they found that there was a layer of cover inside, which was actually made of extremely transparent glass.
However, no matter how shocked they were, the palace maids did not stop in the slightest, and continued to lead them forward.
When they came to the front of the theater, a familiar official was discussing in a whisper, but there was one family that was very special, that is, Cheng Zimo's mother and daughter who followed the Cui family on behalf of the Cheng family, all the officials, no matter how they were with the Cheng family before, but whenever they went through the process of Zimo, they would stop, and they would say "You are here" before leaving.
This made Cheng Zimo and Cui's feel very puzzled, and it wasn't until Qin Qiong arrived with his wife and son that they made their mother and daughter feel better.
"Uncle Qin, why, these uncles will be so polite when they see our mother and daughter" Cheng Zimo was at a loss to say hello to a courtier, looked at Qin Qiong, who had just arrived, and asked in a low voice.
"What, my niece wasn't called by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Then Uncle won't say much about this, either wait for your father to come back, or let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tell you! Qin Qiong looked at the niece he had seen since he was a child, looking at her haggard and white figure, although he was a little unbearable, he still didn't tell the truth.
Seeing that the uncle who loved him since he was a child was like this, Cheng Zimo wanted to continue to ask, but before she could say anything, there was a sound outside, "Your Majesty, the queen has arrived"
Just after this sound, another sound came, "The Emperor has arrived"
After two sounds, all the ministers present retreated to both sides and saluted respectfully, and shouted "Ministers greet the Emperor, Your Majesty, and the Queen."
Then under everyone's gaze, Li Yuan took his concubine and led the palace maid directly into the theater.
And Li Shimin stood in front of the theater with the eldest grandson Wujian, and after saying some words to all the ministers, he and the eldest grandson Wujian entered the theater with a group of concubines.
And Li Chengqian, who was late, didn't say anything, and walked in with his daughter-in-law and a group of younger brothers and sisters in the midst of everyone's salute.
And watching Li Chengqian go in, especially Xia Ju who was standing beside him and going in with him, the tall figure made Cheng Zimo, who was standing outside, clenched his hands tightly and stared at Li Chengqian.
And Li Chengqian also felt something, and turned his head to look at Cheng Zimo, "I'll go, this tigress, why is she here, but what's going on with her appearance?"
"Husband, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Xia Ju, who was following Li Chengqian, found that Li Chengqian turned around, and he also looked back at him in confusion, and asked in a low voice.
"It's nothing, it's just that tigress, too, you will come over in a while, bring her over, since you are here, you can't let her still sit with those ministers" After speaking, Li Chengqian pulled Xia Ju in and went in, not staying.
After their family had entered, all the princes and ministers were led into the theater by the palace maids according to their ranks.
