Xingqing Palace as the hidden residence of His Majesty today, since His Majesty ascended the throne, greatly expanded, and now it has become one of the three major interiors, on weekdays, Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei mostly live in Xingqing Palace, if you want to talk about the degree of luxury, Xingqing Palace is not inferior to Daming Palace.

Because it was a palace night banquet, and Shiwang Street was adjacent to Xingqing Palace, Li Qing and the others did not choose to set off too early.

After a stick of incense, wait until the car of Shouwang's Mansion appeared, the dignitaries of the gate valve around couldn't help but stop, although this night banquet is the banquet set up by His Majesty today to entertain the major festival envoys who have worked hard all year round to keep the frontier, but the important members of the court above the four grades in the dynasty and the dignitaries and sons of the five major gate valves of the Beijing division and the royal family of the clan are all called to the table.

In terms of scale, this night banquet can be regarded as half of the state banquet, although there are not many people in attendance, but all of them are real power figures standing at the top of the empire, so it is normal for these people to appear in front of the gate of Xingqing Palace.

With the power and channels of these people, the car of the Shouwang Mansion that is naturally known, after four years, the Xuanyi Shouwang entered Beijing again, and these people naturally want to see the demeanor of the Xuanyi Shouwang who is still famous in the empire.

didn't let everyone wait too long, the curtain slowly opened, and a man in a royal dress wearing a jade crown and a jade jue appeared in front of everyone, compared to four years ago, there was a slight edge in the forbearance, and the temperament of the man in front of him at this moment looked more restrained and gentle. is not a little grandiose, and the literary quality is polite, but which one of them who can attend this palace banquet will be a simple role, they will not believe that such a gentle and elegant King Shou can suppress the arrogant frontiers of Jiannan Road, and can resist Tibet in the west and pacify the barbarians in the south.

With a soft gaze, Xue Yu got off the carriage, and at the same time looked at Wei Yanyu, who was still walking down the ladder to get off the carriage, Li Qing nodded, ignoring the scary gaze mixed with jealousy in the surrounding scrutiny, and was about to walk towards the palace with the beautiful woman's slender hand, but was interrupted by a familiar voice: "Eighteen brothers? ”

It seems that I didn't expect that there are still people in Chang'an who have thin family affection to call themselves like this, looking up, a girl who looks twenty-eight years old and dressed in a verdant palace dress waved her slender hand and walked towards her with a happy face, looking at this delicate face that has grown up, Li Qing's originally indifferent eyes gradually softened, this person is none other than Princess Taihua, who is the same mother as herself.

Four years ago, I met a few times when I entered Beijing, but I left Beijing in a hurry, and now I haven't seen it for just a few years.

After hesitating for a moment, Princess Taihua, dressed in palace clothes, had already walked in front of him, Li Qing patted Taihua's forehead, and his voice faded from the original indifference, "Why don't you stay in the palace and run out, it won't be long before the dinner party is about to start." "The Tang people are open-minded, and generally the night banquet in the palace can be attended by clan relatives and relatives.

Facing Li Qing's intimate movements, Princess Taihua, who had a delicate face, squinted, twisted her fingers and said, "Isn't this wanting to see Brother Eighteen earlier?" ”

Staring at Princess Taihua's sly rolling eyes, Li Qing was direct, "Presumably it was a fake to see me earlier, and it's true that the palace is too stuffy, right?" ”

Seeing that Li Qing exposed it in public, Princess Taihua's delicate and delicate face was full of disobedience, and then she snorted, ignoring this brother who didn't save face for herself, lowered her head and pinched the soft and white little face of Xueyu who was wrapped like a small zongzi, and said softly: "Little Xue'er, do you miss your aunt?" "Princess Taihua is already an adult, and it is naturally not as easy as before to get out of the palace, but once she has free time, she has to go to Shouwang's Mansion to see her little niece.

Xiao Xueyu is no stranger to the aunt in front of her, and a touch of joy appeared on her pinched little face, and she replied happily: "Xue'er misses her aunt." ”

Seeing the few people who were still standing for half an hour, Li Qing waved his hand and said slowly: "Okay, let's see that it's not early, so don't delay here." ”

Sergeant Long Wu, who guarded the gate of Xingqing Palace, was also a brigade commander with flexible eyes, and he only symbolically searched the bodies of Li Qing Mufan and a few others, and then said to Li Qing: "Your Highness, please inside." ”

There are a total of eight gates in Xingqing Palace, and the Ten Princes' Mansion is located on the south side of Xingqing Palace, so this time Li Qing and others entered the palace through Tongyang Gate, Li Qing and others arrived, and thousands of palace attendants who had been waiting for a long time bowed and saluted, "Your Highness, please come here!" ”

About a time, under the leadership of the palace attendant, Li Qing and his party passed through layers of checkpoints, and finally came to the front of the calyx building, the night was dark, the lights were bright, looking at the four-storey calyx building in front of him by the moonlight, Li Qing did not have much emotion, listening to the extravagant sound in the building, Li Qing walked up the stairs with an indifferent face, and walked towards the building.

Li Qing and the others did not come early, at least looking at it, except for the two seats on the top, the remaining seats were already eight or nine out of ten, and Li Qing who stepped into the hall did not have the slightest delay, and walked straight to the depths of the hall, with his identity as a first-class prince and the military power of the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, his seat was naturally not too low.

Sure enough, under the leadership of a palace attendant of no low rank, Li Qing came to his seat, although he had already prepared in his heart, but in any case, Li Qing could not have imagined that his seat was ranked first among the towns and towns in the frontier, seeing this, Li Qing's deep dark eyes flashed a trace of doubt.

Taking in Li Qing's demeanor, the palace attendant beside him hurriedly explained with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, this banquet is to entertain Your Highness and all the envoys, Your Majesty has long said that you are a well-deserved protagonist, Your Highness is the first-class prince of the empire and the governor of Yizhou. ”

After taking a deep look at the words of the palace attendant, Li Qing said thoughtfully: "In this way, this king is restrained, since it is the arrangement of his father, this king can only obey the order." ”

After that, he nodded to the palace attendants, and walked towards his seat, his face was silent, but his heart was full of sneers, "The people in the army want to come and fight, especially these major festival envoys who are used to being like the emperor of the soil, and the generals of the border towns have always been who has the right to speak. Shuofang is a frontier town like that, even the second town of Longyou Hexi, which is slightly inferior in strength, is not inferior to Jiannan, which he has worked hard to manage.

Ranking his seat ahead of these people, he will undoubtedly become the target of the public, Li Qing, who was thinking quickly, pursed an inconspicuous smile at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that for the rise of Jiannan Dao, the high-ranking His Majesty finally felt a little jealous, in other words, his hard work over the years has not been in vain after all, and he is no longer the Xuanyi Shou King who did not resist the capital four years ago."
