It was night, and there was silence in the palace.

The palace is strictly forbidden, after dark, the palace will only open a very small door in the main palace gate Chengtianmen, the palace gate is almost only allowed two people to enter and exit, and there will be a very heavy iron gate inside and outside, which is very similar to the broken dragon stone, once the iron gate falls, people outside the palace can not enter from the small door.

The palace gate of the Dayong Dynasty was very strictly guarded, and there were three or four thousand soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace gate at night, distributed throughout the palace.

On this day, it was the day when Princess Wenren Zhao Yuanrong appeared, and she asked to enter the palace, but she ran into trouble when she entered the small gate of Chengtianmen.

“…… This palace is a princess, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Jiangnan on a business trip, and now she is back to play the saint, who dares to stop her? ”

Zhao Yuanrong held the festival decree in her hand, which was given to her by her father, and no one could pass through this palace gate without being summoned by the emperor, but Zhao Yuanrong could be said to be a special case, because she was the emperor's favorite princess Wenren, even the generals of the Imperial Forest Army knew that the woman in front of her could not be offended.

Sun Ximao, the commander of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Forest Army, stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Your Majesty has issued a decree before, and no one who has been summoned by the palace will be allowed to enter the palace gate, even if it is Your Royal Highness the Princess...... It is also not possible! ”

Sun Ximao, the word Jingcai, in his early twenties, is the youngest among the generals of the Imperial Forest Army, he is the son of Sun Yan, the general of Zhenguo, the sixth in the family, and many people will also call him Sun Liulang.

Sun Ximao had been in the north for many years when he was a teenager, although he did not make great contributions, but after accumulating meritorious deeds, Sun Yan transferred his son back to the capital as a general of the Imperial Forest Army, and now he is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army Chengtianmen, which can be regarded as a regular general.

This person is not married, and some people thought that there was a chance between him and Princess Wenren Zhao Yuanrong, but a few years ago, Sun Ximao was fighting against Hu in the north, and he had just returned to the capital.

When Sun Ximao saw Zhao Yuanrong return to the capital, there would still be waves in his heart, because this might become his future wife.

But now, he can't give Zhao Yuanrong face, looking at the cold color on Zhao Yuanrong's face, it also makes Sun Ximao feel that he has lost a lot of points in front of Princess Wenren.

Zhao Yuanrong said: "This palace is going to enter the palace today, see who dares to stop it!" ”

Saying that, Zhao Yuanrong was about to break into the palace gate, although the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army behind wanted to stop it, but because of the identity of Princess Wenren, they could only retreat, and finally watched Princess Wenren step into the small door on the first floor of the palace gate, but did not let Zhao Yuanrong go further into the aisle.

"Princess, please respect yourself!" Sun Ximao could only block desperately.

Once Zhao Yuanrong broke into the palace gate, Sun Ximao knew that he was going to be questioned, and he was likely to lose his official position.

Just when Sun Ximao felt that he couldn't cope with Zhao Yuanrong, suddenly a sharp voice came from a distance: "Oh, isn't this Her Royal Highness the Princess?" After going out for so long, can it be considered back? ”

Before anyone arrived, the sound went first, and when Princess Wenren heard this voice, she frowned unconsciously.

A middle-aged eunuch, about forty years old, was led by two little eunuchs with lanterns, and when he arrived at the small gate of Chengtianmen, as soon as the man came, he saluted Zhao Yuanrong with indescribable politeness and compliments.

But Zhao Yuanrong didn't have the slightest good impression of this middle-aged eunuch.

"Grandpa Long?" Zhao Yuanrong's face was a little annoyed, the middle-aged eunuch who spoke, named Long Cheng, although he was not the chief eunuch of the palace, was also the second-in-command, and he was the errand of the imperial horse eunuch, so it can be said that the palace guards were also in his coordination.

And this person is actually Li Guifei's person, and Li Guifei is the mother of the fifth prince, and there is a gap between Zhao Yuanrong and a princess like Zhao Yuanrong.

Long Cheng said with a smile: "It's rare that the princess still remembers the old slave, this old slave heard that the princess came back and came out to greet him in person, and he also had some words, I want to tell the princess, Your Majesty has been unwell these days, and she is recuperating in Jing'an Zhai, and the princess still doesn't want to go into the palace to disturb!" ”

Zhao Yuanrong frowned, in the palace, Jing'an Zhai was the residence of her mother Empress Xiaohui before, which was built by her father for her mother, and it was the residence of Empress Xiaohui in the people.

The relationship between the emperor and Empress Xiaohui is very strong, and now Longcheng says that the emperor is meditating in Jing'an Zhai, and Zhao Yuanrong must avoid it even if he is in a hurry to enter the palace to see his father.

Unless Zhao Yuanrong wants to be scolded by civil officials as an unfilial daughter, he will enter the palace again.

"Princess, please go back, the old slave will pass on your arrival at the palace to your majesty, so that your majesty will know your filial piety. Oh, the princess came to visit Her Majesty when she returned to the capital this time, and Your Majesty must be very pleased to know it......"

Long Cheng's words are very flattering, but in fact, they are also very false, Zhao Yuanrong doesn't even believe that her father is now in Jing'an Zhai.

Zhao Yuanrong said: "When the palace comes back, it may be too late, but tomorrow ...... Bengong will still enter the palace, and whoever stops him will let him know the consequences! ”

Although Zhao Yuanrong is very inward-looking, in fact, she doesn't want Sun Ximao to be embarrassed in her heart.

Although she didn't have any feelings for Sun Ximao, after all, Sun Ximao didn't marry because she was over twenty years old, Zhao Yuanrong was always a little sorry in her heart, and she didn't expect to enter the palace, but she happened to meet Sun Ximao on duty, which caused trouble to Sun Ximao.

After Zhao Yuanrong left, Long Cheng changed his face and directly scolded Sun Ximao, saying, "When the princess comes, won't you stop it?" When the princess entered the palace, do you know how many heads you have around your neck? ”

Although Sun Ximao was unconvinced, he still didn't dare to refute.

Long Cheng glared at the people present fiercely, and then went on the way back to the palace.

Long Cheng didn't go to the inner garden of the palace, but really went to Jing'an Zhai, after he arrived at Jing'an Zhai, Li Guifei's personal palace maid, Su Qing, a thirty-five-year-old palace man, was already waiting there.

"Is the princess's matter settled?" Su Qing saw Long Cheng coming back, and hurriedly asked.

"Oh, it was not easy to beat the princess away, Your Majesty's side...... Have you ever come out? Long Cheng asked nervously.

"I haven't seen it." Su Qing looked a little nervous, rubbed her hands and said, "I don't know how to explain to Concubine Li after I go back." Mr. Feng has been in for a long time, Mr. Feng said that only with the blood of ten special women can the people in the ice coffin be awakened, but all nine people have arrived, only one person is missing, but this person has not yet been delivered. If the Fifth Prince knew about this, he would definitely scold us for not doing a good job! ”

Long Cheng said: "It's okay, it's okay, with Mr. Feng here, there's not much to worry about." After all, Mr. Feng is a noble person of the noble concubine and the fifth prince! ”
