Chapter 397: Penglai Palace

Compared with the Hanyuan Hall and the Xuanzheng Palace, the officials who can enter the Zichen Hall are all dignitaries in the court and respected by the emperor, and all the officials in the court are proud to be summoned by the emperor in the Zichen Palace.

It's just that compared with the majestic Zichen Hall that is heavily guarded on weekdays, the Zichen Hall at this moment has a little more people coming and going because of the night banquet, and the Zichen Palace, which is difficult for hundreds of officials to enter on weekdays, is a little more tolerant of all rivers at the moment, and it is a little less picky than usual.

More than a dozen eunuchs in the palace stood in front of the main hall, greeting the passing officials, among the dozen eunuchs, the eye-catching natural is the thin eunuch standing in the first place, wearing a purple and red robe, holding a dusty face and looking arrogant, this eunuch is about forty years old, looking at his arrogant demeanor, even in the face of the three or four rank masters in the court, this person just nodded his head, but the small gesture shows that even in the palace attendants in the Daming Palace, this person's position is definitely not low.

However, at this moment, Li Qing looked at the arrogant eunuch in front of him but was surprised, he had only been in Chang'an for less than two days, but he had seen almost all his previous acquaintances, first the city gate captain who guarded the west gate of Chang'an, and then Bian Lingcheng, who was standing in the limelight outside the Zichen Hall at this moment.

Holding the slender hand of the beautiful woman beside him, he stepped forward, and walked to Bian Lingcheng, who was wearing a purple and red robe, with a pair of dexterous eyes that were good at observing words and colors, and couldn't wait to grow on the top of his head, smiled lightly, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Bian, long time no see!" ”

In fact, Bian Lingcheng had already noticed the arrival of Li Qing and others, but seeing that Li Qing was dressed simply, he mistakenly thought that he was just an ordinary powerful child in Chang'an City who was just qualified to participate in this night banquet, and Bian Lingcheng did not take a closer look, plus it was late at the moment, even under the illumination of the lights, it was not very clear, so Bian Lingcheng did not find that the group in front of him was the real protagonist of this palace night banquet - His Royal Highness King Shou, who returned triumphantly.

Hearing Li Qing's words at this moment, Bian Lingcheng immediately woke up, lowered his head, and saw that the young man in Xuanyi in front of him turned out to be His Royal Highness King Shou, thinking of his performance just now, he said embarrassedly: "It turned out to be His Royal Highness King Shou, Princess Shou, long time no see!" ”

Because of Li Qing's relationship, Bian Lingcheng looked at Xuan'er and Mu Fan behind Li Qing at this moment, and he was also kind, and he did not have the arrogance of facing the officials of the DPRK and China just now.

In the past, they thought that Bian Lingcheng was just a waiter with a little status in the palace, but now seeing that the lord in front of him dared to ignore it even if he was facing those three or four important members of the court, they liked to ignore it, and they realized that the palace attendant in front of them, who seemed to have a good relationship with His Royal Highness, was not only a little powerful, but also a monstrous power.

And just now, Mu Fan and the others clearly saw that those important members of the third and fourth rank of the court who walked outside on weekdays and made people grovel were facing the arrogant posture of the lord in front of them, and none of the officials dared to say a word, and Shi Hao, who was thick on the outside and thin on the inside, even sensed a trace of jealousy on the faces of those officials.

Sure enough, what kind of people make what kind of friends, until this moment, Mu Fan and the others realized what kind of monstrous power their own highness in front of them was in the capital, but thinking about the confrontation in the Hanyuan Hall this morning, the king of his own Shou dared to confront the prince of the Yu Dynasty, and almost staged a dragon and tiger fight, and finally made the prince of the current dynasty dare to be angry and dare not speak, Mu Fan and the others seemed to feel that everything was normal when they saw a scene in front of them.

After a simple greeting, he waved the dust in his hand and instructed a little eunuch beside him: "Next, our family will accompany His Royal Highness to Penglai Palace, and all the things outside the Zichen Palace will be handed over to you, don't let our family down!" ”

In the face of Bian Lingcheng's instructions, the little eunuch naturally did not dare to have the slightest objection, and immediately bowed down and said: "The little one will definitely live up to his father-in-law's trust, and send his father-in-law, His Royal Highness King Shou Princess Shou!" ”

Nodding with satisfaction, when he turned to face this Li Qing, Bian Lingcheng had already put away the undoubtedness on his face, turned sideways, and made way for Li Qing, seeing King Shou and Princess Shou walking side by side, he was slightly half a step behind to show respect, and explained to Li Qing the main characters of the night banquet as he walked, and between words, Bian Lingcheng did not forget to say some compliments.

For the relationship with King Shou next to him, the surprising Bian Lingcheng did not hide it in the slightest, you must know that since King Shou was exiled to Jiannan half a year ago, many people in the capital know that King Shou has lost the qualification to compete for the crown, but the Bian Lingcheng next to him actually chose to stand by Li Qing's side at this moment, I have to say, he must have made a lot of determination.

It is precisely because of this that although he is disdainful of Ling Cheng's conduct next to him, Li Qing still chooses to intersect with him, a large part of which is because Bian Lingcheng next to him may just look above the top in the face of others, but Li Qing can clearly feel that in several contacts, Bian Lingcheng beside him has never taken the initiative to take advantage of himself, even if he is grateful every time, he takes the initiative to give generous gifts.

Li Qing has also thought about this matter more than once, but after thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that maybe he did not despise him because of his physical disability like ordinary dignitaries, and in front of him, Bian Lingcheng got the dignity he deserved.

Although Li Qing had to endure Bian Lingcheng's noise along the way, it has to be said that accompanied by the father-in-law who had a lot of power in Daming Palace, Li Qing and the others had a lot of trouble along the way, and Li Qing and the others who went to interrogate naturally saved a lot of time.

Two quarters of an hour later, a pavilion in the lake built in the Taiye Pool appeared in front of Li Qing and others, even if the night is getting deeper, but not far away Penglai Palace is brilliantly lit, like day, people come and go dignitaries and royal relatives to the Penglai Palace that is quiet on weekdays A little more popular and lively.

Looking at the magnificent group of palaces in front of him, Li Qing had to sigh at the ingenuity of the Tang people, not to mention anything else, even if he had been in the Tang Dynasty for a while, he had seen the easy defense and difficult attack of Chang'an City, the ghost axe of Jianmen Pass, and the grandeur of Danfeng Gate, Li Qing still wanted to admire the Penglai Palace that stood in the Taiye Pool not far away.

Compared with the rules of the previous dynasty, the solemnity is incomparable, the harem of the Daming Palace is undoubtedly a little less solemn, a little more petty bourgeoisie, whether it is the layout or the building is much more flexible, the entire harem is divided into the Taiye Pool, the eastern part of the Taiye Pool is the Penglai Palace, the bathhouse hall, the Ayaqi Hall is the activity place of the emperor and the concubine, the east is the Lin De Palace, the Jinluan Hall and the Hanlin Courtyard, originally such a banquet is generally held in the Lin De Palace, but at this moment it seems that His Majesty is very happy plus Li Qing was born in the palace, so he was happy for a while, The emperor of the dynasty also changed the venue of the night banquet directly from the Lin De Hall to the Penglai Palace.
