Chapter 396: Going to the Banquet
The day's scene passed quickly, outside the Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace at sunset, a group of mighty people appeared in front of the Longwu sergeant guarding the gate of Daming Palace, led by a pair of young men and women, the man was tall, wearing a Xuanyi, the clothes were made of superior material, the light purple trim embroidered with the elegant bamboo leaf pattern and the black jade hairpin on the head complemented each other, the waist was tied with a jade belt, and the fiery red unicorn on the jade belt was lifelike, so that the original elegant and elegant temperament of the young man in Xuanyi was a little more powerful as a king. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the young man in Xuanyi is eye-catching, the beauty next to him is indeed not inferior to half a point, and the beauty is only a little powder, and it is not dressed up like other noblewomen in Chang'an City, the beauty is dressed in purple and white, tall and tall, even if it is only half a head shorter than the young man in Xuanyi next to him, such a height, it is already counted among the women of the Tang Dynasty.
The three thousand ink hair of the stunning beauty in white clothes floated behind her, in stark contrast to the young man in the dark clothes beside her, the jewelry on her head was pitiful, and there was only one snow-white and transparent hosta fixed hair between the black hair, and the snow-white hairpin was inserted between the jet-black black hair, forming a sharp contrast, so that the beauty's original gentle temperament was mixed with a bit of coldness, and at a glance, it was as cold as a snow lotus and could not be blasphemed.
The group followed by the young men and women were two women in green shirts, although they were inferior to the women in white, but if they were placed in normal times, the appearance of the two women was also considered superior, and although the two women were both in green shirts, they had their own merits, one was gentle and the other was lively.
Behind the two women were four men in civilian clothes, among them, two young, two old, and the four men were like four ironclad guards following closely behind the four people in front of them, firmly guarding them. And such a group of people is naturally Li Qing's group who first arrived in Chang'an City.
Because it was just a palace night banquet, it was not as grand and solemn as the state banquet, so Li Qing and the others were dressed more casually, and they were not dressed in court clothes like during the day, looking at the tall and magnificent Danfeng Gate in front of them, just when Li Qing was about to take out his gold medal to prove his identity, the leader of the arch guarded the arch immediately bowed and saluted when he saw the arrival of Li Qing and others: "The last general will see His Royal Highness King Shou, the night banquet has been prepared at this moment, and many adults have entered the palace before His Royal Highness!" ”
This person's words naturally attracted Li Qing's attention, and looked at the person who spoke, it was none other than the middle-aged lieutenant in the Longwu Army who had a good conversation with him during the day, since he was an acquaintance, Li Qing also dismissed the plan to take out the gold medal, smiled lightly, and said without the slightest arrogance: "It turned out to be Lord Duwei, at this moment, I will go to the palace banquet, and I will talk about it later!" ”
As a soldier of the Longwu Army guarding the main gate of Daming Palace, if you talk about the level of understanding of the affairs of the imperial court, except for the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, no one can compare with them, and it is precisely because of seeing this clearly that Li Qing will put down his body and make friends, just like when he made friends with Bian Lingcheng.
At this moment, the middle-aged lieutenant naturally knew that there would be a big banquet in the palace tonight, and said with a smile: "Naturally, Your Highness, please!" ”
The middle-aged lieutenant took good care of Li Qing very much, and seeing that Li Qing and the others wanted to buy the palace gate, he immediately instructed the two cronies beside him: "From here to enter the Penglai Palace where the palace is held, you still need to go through a lot of door guards, and most of the guards are Long Wujun's own brothers, you are responsible for leading the way for His Royal Highness, so there is a lot less trouble." “
For the kindness of the middle-aged captain, Li Qing naturally has no reason to refuse, as we all know, the left and right Longwu Army is the Beiya Forbidden Army, whether it is favored or elite, the Longwu Army is a step higher than the Yulin Army that is also the Beiya Forbidden Army, and it is precisely because of this that the division of labor between the Longwu Army and the Yulin Army is very clear, the Yulin Army is responsible for guarding the imperial city, the Longwu Army is responsible for guarding the palace city, and serves as the guard army around the emperor.
You must know that the main general of the Longwu Army is Chen Xuanli, the general of the current dynasty, who leads both the left and right armies of the Longwu Army, and his degree of favor may not be compared with Li Linfu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, who is now in power, after all, the current emperor can hand over his safety to Chen Xuanli, which is enough to see the degree of trust that the current emperor has in this person.
Looking at today's Tang Dynasty, if you want to compare with Chen Xuanli in terms of favor, I am afraid that there is only one Gao Lishi who has followed the emperor for decades and lived and died together.
Under the leadership of the two Longwu Army soldiers, Li Qing and his entourage crossed the vast Danfeng Square, crossed the Hanyuan Palace, walked through the Xuanzheng Palace, and finally arrived at the Zichen Palace, Yixing people finally stopped, looking at the Zichen Hall in front of them, which was a level smaller than the Hanyuan Palace, both in terms of scale and momentum, the two Longwu Army soldiers who led the way in front turned to Li Qing, who was wearing a Xuanyi behind him, and said: "Your Highness, the front is the Zichen Palace, and across this hall, it is the harem, and the harem is heavy, even our Longwu Army can't easily enter." , so Your Highness, we can only bring Your Highness here. ”
nodded clearly, looking at the slightly guilty Geng Zhilong Wujun soldiers in front of him, Li Qing did not have the slightest surprise, Li Qing was the prince, when Concubine Wu Hui was alive, Li Qing was in and out of the forbidden place of the palace, so he naturally had a little understanding of the rules in the palace, and it was obviously impossible for the two people in front of him to enter the harem as the Long Wujun.
Besides, with the leadership of the two people in front of him just now, compared to other dignitaries and dignitaries Li Qing and others who came to the banquet, it was undoubtedly much better, and the soldiers of the Long Wu Army who guarded the door saw that they were their own family, and they only symbolically searched for God, and there was not much embarrassment.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Li Qing smiled indifferently: "The two brothers have worked hard. With that, he took a money bag from Xuan'er behind him and handed it to the older one of the two in front of him.
However, looking at the money bag in Li Qing's hand, the two did not reach out to take it for the first time, they took a step back, looked at the Xuanyi Shou King in front of them with a sincere face and explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand, we will lead Your Highness to come in full accordance with the instructions of Lord Duwei and the brothers admire His Highness's bearing, compared to other princes, His Royal Highness did not look down on us as they did, His Highness's kindness we understood, but we did not dare to accept such a generous gift." ”
Looking at the two middle-aged soldiers in front of him who were strong in armor and were flushed at the moment and eager to explain, Li Qing stepped forward, forcefully handed the money bag in his hand to the older man, patted the shoulders of the two, and said frankly: "The sincerity of the two brothers, this king naturally knows that this is just a little bit of the king's heart, if you don't accept it, how can this king gain a foothold in front of all his subordinates?" As he spoke, Li Qing pointed to the four Mu Fan behind him and said.
Looking at the Xuanyi Shou King in front of him, who looked sincere and unpretentious, the two glanced at each other, and finally took the money bag, and then hugged his fists and said to Li Qing in front of him: "Thank you, Your Highness, since I have sent His Highness here, I will go back to report to Lord Duwei and say goodbye!" ”
Re-set his eyes to the exquisite architecture of the tall palace in front of him, the three big characters of the Zichen Hall hang high under the palace, and it looks majestic under the reflection of the lights in the palace, Li Qing will also be no stranger to this hall, as the last palace of the three major halls of the previous dynasty, the importance of the Zichen Hall is self-evident.
