On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xuan Shijing still did not escape the fate of getting up early, Long'er pushed open the door of Xuan Shijing's room with a basin of warm water, put the copper basin on the wooden frame, and walked to Xuan Shijing's bedside.

"Little Marquis, it's time to get up." Long'er said softly.

"Hmm~" Xuan Shijing responded in a daze, although he was reluctant, but he still forced himself to wake up, today is Yuan Zheng, His Majesty Li Er is going to hold a big court meeting in Taiji Palace, once a year, but you can't be sloppy, if you are sluggish, you can't be sure how those imperial historians will bombard themselves.

Xuan Shijing has no official position, only a knighthood, so the court will not need to wear an official uniform, Long'er found a moon-white gown and put it on for Xuan Shijing, the weather outside is dry and cold, Long'er is afraid that Xuan Shijing will freeze, and she also specially made a mink fleece to wrap Xuan Shijing around her neck.

"Ah~~~" Xuan Shijing yawned: "Long'er, when did I fall asleep last night?" How are the people in our house playing? ”

Long'er said while sorting out Xuan Shijing's clothes: "The little marquis fell asleep on the ground last night when he was ugly, and Mrs. instructed me to bring the little marquis back, the people in our house had a lot of fun last night, and they have been making trouble in the council room until early in the morning, and Mrs. saw that everyone was making a fuss all night, so she said that the things in the council room should not be cleaned up first, let me go back to sleep, and then get up and clean up when I woke up in the afternoon. ”

"By the way, I think about it, we got together last night, and we didn't have my cousin, right?" Rubbing his eyes, he said.

"Yes, but Madame sent someone to invite them, but they didn't come." Long'er replied: "But ah, it's good that they don't come, and the province makes people unhappy." ”

"Why?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, it stands to reason that this kind of thing, Xuan Lindao and his wife are generally not absent, why don't they come?

"Mrs. asked Xiao Ji to invite them, no matter what people say, no matter what people say, they are also people with status, but they can't pull their faces to eat at the same table with their subordinates." Long'er said indignantly: "How noble are you talking about, aren't the little marquis and his wife much more noble than them?" Didn't look down on the people in their jaws in their eyes. ”

Xuan Shijing was relieved, in fact, most of the nobles in Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty should have the same thoughts as Xuan Lindao and his wife, and they take the dignity and humility of what they do very seriously, unlike the Hou Mansion, because they are not from a wealthy family, so they will not take 369 and so on so seriously.

"Daochang Sun didn't come back yesterday?" Xuan Shijing asked, Sun Simiao went to the palace yesterday and didn't see his shadow all day.

"Yesterday, Sun Daochang stayed in the palace, because His Majesty was worried about the queen's body, so he let Sun Daochang live in the palace." Long'er replied: "Little Marquis, Gao Jun is already waiting at the door, let's go out quickly." ”

"Huh? Skipping breakfast? Xuan Shijing was surprised, why did he have to rush so early every time he entered the palace, didn't he have to wait if he went early.

"Little Hou Ye, I asked Xiao Ji to take a few hot pies and put them in the car, you eat more on the road, this big court will take a long time."

followed Long'er out of the door, Gao Jun was sitting on the frame in front of the carriage waiting, and when he saw Xuan Shijing coming out, he quickly jumped down and took out a cloak from the car to put on Xuan Shijing.

"Little Hou Ye, it's cold outside, you just got up shortly, don't freeze."

"Thank you." Xuan Shijing nodded to Gao Jun, and then was hugged into the carriage by Long'er.

"Gao Jun, when I arrived at the palace, I saw Lu Guogong and asked Lu Guogong to take care of the little marquis on my behalf." Long'er instructed.

Gao Jun nodded, jumped into the carriage, and drove in the direction of Chengtianmen.

Xuan Shijing, who was sitting in the carriage, searched around for a while, and sure enough, he found the food box, and after opening the food box, he saw two oiled paper packets, with still hot pies and some jerky.

Wrapping the jerky and putting it in his arms, Xuan Shijing began to enjoy his breakfast in the carriage, in previous years, Xuan Shijing was sitting between Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, originally at Xuan Shijing's age, he did not have to participate in the big court meeting, but Xuan Shijing is a county marquis, and this kind of court meeting must be attended from the etiquette system, but his identity is not enough to be in the Taiji Palace, so Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong took Xuan Shijing with him.

Lifting the thick curtain of the carriage window, Xuan Shijing looked out the window, today is Yuanzheng, few people come out of the street, the entire Chang'an City is shrouded in the mist of the winter morning, the sound of the carriage wheels running over the bluestone street is clearly recognizable, and occasionally there are carriages that surpass the past, and they are also other nobles who rushed to the palace to participate in the imperial court.

"It's really not easy to be a civil servant in Datang, and you have to rush to a meeting for the New Year." Xuan Shijing muttered to himself.

"Little Hou Ye, it's almost time to reach Xuanwu Gate." Gao Jun, who was driving, said.

Xuanwu Gate? Xuan Shijing lowered the curtains, it seems that Xuan Mingde died in the Xuanwumen Incident, and Li Shimin was able to ascend the throne of the Ninety-Five Emperor through this mutiny, and also began his controversial life.

Xuan Shijing lifted the curtain of the car door: "Gao Jun, the carriage will stop here, I'll just walk in." ”

"Huh~~~" Gao Jun tugged at the reins of the horse and stopped: "Little Marquis, you go in alone, are you done?" ”

"I became familiar with this palace when I was two years old, don't worry, I'll go find Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qin by myself." Xuan Shijing jumped out of the carriage and said, "You go back first, and when the time comes, wait here for me to come out." ”

"Yes." Gao Jun responded.

Seeing Gao Jun leave, Xuan Shijing turned around and walked into the palace and walked into the Xuanwu Gate.

It turned out that this was the place where the Xuanwumen Incident was fought back then, and Xuan Shijing looked at the ground, and faintly saw a trace of dark red blood.

"Why did the little marquis stop here, why don't you leave?" Just as Xuan Shijing was distracted, he heard someone talking behind him, turned around, and saw Wei Zheng wearing a purple official uniform, holding a plate, walking around.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Lord Wei." Xuan Shijing looked at Wei Zheng: "Zheng Guogong, it's early." ”

"The little marquis is early, I don't know if the little marquis is here, what are you looking at?" Wei Zheng said with a smile.

"Look at the past." Xuan Shijing replied: "This is the place where my father left his last traces." ”

"The past can't be traced, little marquis, people have to learn to look forward, instead of indulging in the past." Wei Zheng opened his mouth and said.

"Ah, yes, the past is really not worth recalling, but this Xuanwu Sect, Lord Wei, Shi Jing remembers, it was the handwriting of Lord Wei back then." Xuan Shijing looked at Wei Zheng with a smile and said.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Little Marquis said carefully, the matter of the year involved His Majesty, and the old man was just his own master at that time. ”

"Master Wei, don't get me wrong, Shijing doesn't mean anything else, it's just a little touching." Xuan Shijing said: "It's not too early, let's hurry up and enter the palace, Lord Wei, please." ”

"Little Marquis, please."
