Chapter Twenty-Three: Out of the Palace!!
"Everyone, let's ...... Victory! ”
"Wow——!"
Before noon the next day, there was a monstrous shout from inside the Wenzhao Pavilion, and the Praetorian Guards patrolling outside the hall looked at each other in shock.
"What? What wins? ”
"What do you do with so much? That was the Wenzhao Pavilion of the Eighth Highness. ”
Whispering, the Praetorian Guards turned a deaf ear and patrolled on their own.
At this time, in the Wenzhao Pavilion, the Eighth Emperor Zhao Hongrun held a bronze token tightly in his left hand and waved his fist excitedly.
In front of him, Mu Qing, Shen Yu, Wei Jiao, Chu Heng, Gao Kuo, Chong Zhao, Lu Mu, Zhu Gui, He Miao, and Zhou Pu, the ten Zongwei, were also full of excitement.
Fighting with today's saint and the emperor of Dawei for more than 20 days, the moon was detained, the ammunition was exhausted, and the dignified prince played the autumn wind everywhere, rubbing rice in the three places of Ningxiang Palace, Tingfeng Pavilion and Gongxue, and as a dignified prince, the Zongwei who were no less senior than the local county orders were not inferior to the Zongwei who were in the palace, and they ate with the little eunuchs who were doing miscellaneous work in the palace, just to save the little silver taels left.
However, they persevered, and they finally survived!
“…… My father still didn't allow me to leave the cabinet, which doesn't matter; Yesterday, my mother called me to Ningxiang Palace and reprimanded me again, and ordered me to go to the concubines' bedrooms with her in a few days to apologize, which is not important; We haven't recovered the prince's due monthly salary yet, and we don't have much silver left, so none of this matters! …… The important thing is that we won! We can finally get out of the palace! ”
"Wow——!!"
The ten sect guards raised their arms and shouted, all of them looking very excited.
"Change your clothes, let's get out of the palace!"
"Oh!"
A group of people hurriedly passed on the clothes of ordinary people who were asked for from the inner chamberlain, removed any objects on their bodies that would be suspicious of their identities, disguised themselves as ordinary people, passed by the palace gate in a mighty way, and left Bianjing Palace.
The main entrance of the palace of Bianjing Palace is facing Zhengyang Street.
Zhengyang Street is the only way for courtiers to enter the palace, and ordinary people cannot set foot here casually, so there are quite few pedestrians on the street.
The alleys and alleys on Zhengyang Street are all connected to the residences of the officials of the DPRK and China, and even the five princes of Zhao Hongrun, who have come out of the cabinet, their palaces are also here.
It is no exaggeration to say that those who can live near Zhengyang Street are either rich or noble, and they are the veritable magnates and upper class of Chen Du Daliang.
Walking further south along this street, most of the nearby buildings are dominated by the offices of the imperial court, such as the headquarters of the six departments of Menxia Province, and the twenty-four divisions of the six departments, etc., these court offices divide the entire Chendu Liang into two different social circles in the south and the north.
The people who live in Beicheng are either rich or noble, and they are all powerful people in the Chen Capital Liang; And those who live in the southern city, unless they have special preferences, are ordinary people.
Follow Zhengyang Street to Chaoyang Heng Street, suddenly the surroundings become lively, look around, the street is lined with shops, the street vendors and the people who come and go, is almost full of this street.
"Chaoyang Street, but it is the most lively and prosperous street in Chendu." As an old Liang man born in the capital, Shen Yu enthusiastically introduced this bustling street to his Royal Highness.
Although it is said that since he was recruited by the Zongfu when he was a teenager, he has rarely had the opportunity to wander this street again, but compared to Zhao Hongrun, who has never been out of the palace gate, his understanding of this street is enough to become a guide for everyone.
"That's nice......"
Standing at the crossroads, Zhao Hongrun looked around, looking at the people coming and going.
I saw that there were gray-haired old men on the street, children with pigtails, rude and strong men with five big and three thick, and rich sons with good manners, and more importantly, Zhao Hongrun finally saw the young woman.
"This is a good ......"
"Hmm. …… Your Highness, ah no, Childe, look at that. ”
"Well, you have a vision, you ...... a trick"
"Childe, look at that, that's not bad."
"Hmm...... I'm rubbing, Chu Heng, what kind of vision do you have? While staying there, he almost poked his eyes blind. ”
"Uh, I think it's pretty good......"
"You have it, Childe, look at that."
"Good, good ......"
The group of people, squatting at the entrance of an alley, admired the young and beautiful women in the crowd with critical admiration.
It's no wonder, after all, whether it is Zhao Hongrun or his guards, they were all locked up in the deep palace in the past and had no chance to go out. Although there are many beautiful young women in the palace, but the women in the palace, do they dare to look at it so presumptuously?
In order to avoid suspicion, those palace maids did not dare to show their faces in front of him, even if they sometimes bumped into them from afar, they were quickly avoided, so as not to be seen by the eunuchs in the palace and treat them for a felony of seducing the prince.
"I feel that after more than ten years of walking dead days, today I finally come back to life......"
Standing at the entrance of the alley with his waist bent and peeking at the young woman on the street, he watched it for more than an hour, and Zhao Hongrun let out a sigh of satisfaction with satisfaction.
Such a trivial matter made him feel extremely satisfied. For his outlook on life to become so cheap, even Zhao Hongrun himself felt incredible.
However, his words were generally approved by the guards.
There is no way, the control in the palace is too strict.
"Childe, what are we going to do next?"
After watching it for more than an hour, Zong Wei Gao Kuo also felt that it was a little enough, and couldn't help but ask.
"Where next?"
Hearing this question, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but be a little dazed.
In fact, when he couldn't get out of the palace in the past, he had long thought about where he would go after leaving the palace, but now that he is really out of the palace, he is a little uncomfortable.
Outside the palace, it was too strange to him.
"Do you want to go hunting?"
Zhao Hongrun said hesitantly.
Speaking of which, he has always been very yearning for hunting, after all, when the emperor of Great Wei organized hunting in previous years, only the prince who went out of the cabinet was allowed to participate, and a young one like Zhao Hongrun was not even allowed to watch from the sidelines.
Uncle's!
"Hunting?" Shen Yu glanced up at the sky, and said with a wry smile: "Childe, you need to go out of the city for hunting, and you need to prepare a lot of things, horses, bows and arrows, etc., we don't have money when we come, and we can't have time to come in time." His Majesty...... Well, your father made it clear that if he didn't return at dusk...... When we return home, we will confiscate our tokens......"
"Then next time." Zhao Hongrun was a little apprehensive in his heart.
Although this battle was a small victory for him, and he finally forced the Great Wei Emperor to compromise and gave him a token for free passage through the palace, he was also ordered to return to the palace at dusk, otherwise the token would be confiscated.
In short, it can be regarded as the freedom of time limits.
"Childe, why don't you go to a bar?"
"yes, yes."
Zong Wei Zhu Gui and He Miao proposed.
Although the palace does not restrict the prince and his guards from drinking, the drinks provided to the princes are relatively light and slightly sweet, which is clearly fruit wine.
And Zhao Hongrun's guards are all adult men in their twenties, not to mention that they are not interested in drinking, even Zhao Hongrun doesn't feel anything when he drinks it.
Finally out of the palace, naturally I have to be a real spirit.
As soon as the two of them said this, the rest of the sect guards felt a little thirsty in their throats, and they couldn't wait to immediately pick up a jar of spirits and drink it all, savoring the scorching heat like a burning fire.
Unfortunately, Zhao Hongrun had little interest in drinking, and he preferred to stand quietly at the mouth of this alley, looking at the young women coming and going on the street, which would restore his outlook on life to normal, and he would not be poisoned by the handsome little eunuchs in the palace, or his half-princesses.
Seeing that His Royal Highness was indifferent, all the sect guards couldn't help but feel a little distressed, couldn't they leave their Royal Highness and go to the wine shop to drink bars by themselves?
Suddenly, Mu Qing had an idea, and whispered: "Childe, I know a place where you can let Childe drink and watch beauties at the same time, and she is also a beauty with good looks and knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting......"
Hearing this, Shen Yu's face changed slightly, and he scolded in a low voice: "Mu Qing! ”
But it was still too late, and Mu Qing's words quickly turned into a thought in Zhao Hongrun's heart, lingering.
"You mean...... Qinglou? ”
As soon as these words came out, half of the ten sect guards' faces changed suddenly, especially Lu Mu, Wei Jiao, and Shen Yu, who were more serious, glared at Mu Qing with stern eyes, as if they were silently condemning: You dare to bewitch His Royal Highness the prince to go to such a place?!
Being glared at by them with stern eyes, Mu Qing closed his mouth in a daze.
However, Zhao Hongrun's mind suddenly became active: "Qinglou...... I haven't been there yet......"
Shen Yu's heart trembled, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly said: "Childe, this is a vulgar thing, if you are by the Zongfu, you will be ...... The lord or lady knows that the consequences are unimaginable......"
"If I don't say it, if you don't say it, who will know?"
"......" The sect guards looked at each other.
They know this highness too well, as long as this highness decides, when will they be able to persuade back?
What's even worse is that His Highness's words, "Don't you think about going over to see and see", suddenly provoked a trace of evil thoughts hidden deep in their hearts.
"Dead is dead!"
The guards exchanged glances and stood firmly on the side of their Highness.
"Then let's solve the problem of money first, right?" Lu Mu, who was in charge of the property, took out a money bag from his pocket, and took out a pitiful dozen taels of silver from it, and looked at the people with expectant faces without saying anything.
"A dozen taels of silver, but it's not enough to cost ......"
Wei Jiao's sigh made everyone feel a kind of frustration that the flame full of anticipation was extinguished by a basin of cold water.
At this time, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said to Mu Qing: "Mu Qing, take it out." ”
Mu Qing nodded, and actually took out a picture album from his coat, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a picture of mountains and rivers drawn by Zhao Hongzhao, the sixth prince, with Zhao Hongzhao's seal on the bottom.
"This ......"
The eyes of the Zongwei suddenly lit up, who didn't know that the calligraphy and painting of the sixth prince Zhao Hongzhao was highly respected by the talented and beautiful people in the capital, and there was very little circulation on the market, which was very valuable.
"Childe, where did you get it?"
"Hey, don't say, don't say."
Meanwhile.
The sixth prince, Zhao Hongzhao, stood in the front hall of his dormitory, Yafeng Pavilion, and looked thoughtfully at the walls around him that were full of his usual proud calligraphy and paintings.
"I always feel like there's something missing......"
He muttered in confusion.
