Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Imperial City
The sun rose as usual but it was still so cold, Yan Yong stood at the door for a short time and then turned around and went back to the house, and it didn't take long to see "Kuaidao Liu" walking in with sleepy eyes, and from time to time he wiped the tears in his eyes with his hands, "Huh? Why are you here? "Quick Knife Liu" asked curiously when he saw Yan Yongza in the living room.
Yan Yong said: "If you have something in your heart, you pretend that you can't sleep, so you come over early." "Kuaidao Liu" poured himself a cup of tea, sat on the chair and said, "Then you said that you were yelling at the door at dawn?" Yan Yong said, "Well, yes. Then he glared at "Kuaidao Liu" with both eyes and said, "Since you know why I don't get up to see you, let me wait like this." ”
"Quick Knife Liu" said: "Don't stare so big with your eyes as if you want to eat people, you don't want to think about what time you came and who was talking to you when you were resting." You sit here for most of the day, and you are asking for yourself, and you can't complain about others. Yan Yong wanted to refute for a while, but he couldn't find a suitable statement, so he had to give up.
Yan Yong turned to ask, "What about Qingyu, I'll take him into the palace." "Kuaidao Liu" said: "There is still sleep, today you let him sleep more, and when he enters the palace, he will be like a cow day and night, let him rest a little longer." Yan Yong said: "I just asked casually and didn't let him get up so early." "In that case, I'll go out to fight 'boxing', and I won't accompany you." After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
Yan Yong said: "It's better to stay in the house and get warmer on such a cold day." "Kuaidao Liu" turned around and said with a smile: "You don't want the old man to talk here with you, do you?" Yan Yong nodded and said, "Even if it's it." "Quick Dao Liu" laughed and said: "Yan Yong, Yan Yong didn't expect that you kid would be so delicate." ”
"Quick Dao Liu" sat neatly on the chair and said, "Say, what do you want to say to the old man?" Yan Yong didn't know what to say, just drank tea and kept drinking, "Kuaidao Liu" said: "Hey, forget it." I'm going to call Qingyu up and go into the palace with you. ”
"Quick Knife Liu" came to the room where Qingyu was sleeping, gently knocked on the door, and shouted in a low voice: "Qingyu, wake up." Someone from the palace has come to pick you up. Hearing the shouts outside, Qingyu asked, "Who is outside?" ”
"Quick Knife Liu" said: "It's me, Uncle Liu." Qingyu said, "Oh, it's Uncle Liu, you wait a while." Qingyu put on his clothes and opened the door.
"Kuaidao Liu" stood at the door and said, "Come with me to the living room, Lord Yan came to pick you up." Qingyu followed "Kuaidao Liu" to the living room, and when he entered the room, he saw Yan Yong sitting in the living room, and Qingyu asked suspiciously: "Uncle Liu, what you said about Lord Yan is Brother Yan?" ”
"Quick Knife Liu" didn't speak, but looked at Yan Yong, Yan Yong said with a smile: "Don't listen to Brother Liu's nonsense, I'm just the attendant of the celebrant and not an adult." ”
Qingyu said with a smile: "I heard that the celebrant is a yamen who is very close to the emperor, right?" Yan Yong said cautiously: "Be cautious, don't talk nonsense about things in the palace." Looking at Yan Yong's frightened appearance, Qingyu didn't ask again.
Yan Yong said: "Okay, you go and pack your clothes and follow me into the palace." Qingyu said: "It's so fast, I'm about to enter the palace." "Okay, Qingyu will go to collect the things in the house." "Quick Knife Liu" took Qingyu back to the room where he was resting just now.
The two of them in the room packed the things and made a package after a while, Qingyu had nothing in his body, so the package was very light and small, and Yan Yong was already waiting at the gate at this time.
Qingyu said: "Uncle Liu, give me the package, I'll get it." "Quick Knife Liu" said: "It's okay, it's not important, I'll help you get it." The two came to the door and saw Yan Yong standing with his hands attached, "Quick Knife Liu" handed the package in his hand to Qingyu and instructed: "Take care of yourself, come to see Uncle Liu often." Qingyu said: "I came to see Uncle Liu whenever I had time." "Alright, let's go." Yan Yong urged beside him.
At this time, Qingyu suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Quick Knife Liu" wanted to stop the people who had no time to receive Qingyu's great gift to worship, but Yan Yong stood not far away and watched.
"Quick Knife Liu" hurriedly helped Qingyu up, and Qingyu said: "Uncle Liu, thanks to you for not giving up these days, taking care of me like a family member, I have my rebirth today, Qingyu will definitely make a personal appearance when he enters the palace this time to repay your kindness today." ”
"Quick Knife Liu" said with relief: "Okay, good." I, Liu Qing, didn't count it in vain, and I wanted to know each other. It's getting late, let's go. Qingyu said: "Uncle Liu, take care." So he rode a horse with Yan Yong to the palace.
"Kuaidao Liu" stood at the door and looked at the distant figures of the two for a long time, and his heart couldn't calm for a long time, at this time, the dog ran out of nowhere and took the hand of "Kuaidao Liu" and said: "Master, why are you standing at the door and not entering the house when it's cold." "Quick Knife Liu" was called by the dog to calm down, "Quick Knife Liu" took the dog's little hand and said, "Let's go, let's go in." ”
Yan Yong said not far from the imperial city: "Horseback riding is not allowed near the imperial city, and everything else will be punished as rebellion unless the emperor allows it." Qingyu listened and nodded continuously, and said Yong: "We have to find a place to borrow the horse for the time being." The two found a restaurant called "Carrier", gave the restaurant a few dollars, and put the horse for a day, and made an appointment with the restaurant to pick up the horse at noon tomorrow.
Yan Yong and Qingyu walked along Qipanlou Street, and after a while, they saw an empty space. The huge imperial city stood in front of him, looking at the golden imperial city of Qingyu with an indescribable excitement, the surging in his chest lasted for a long time like a wave, Yan Yong pointed to the huge city tower in front of him and said: "This is the Chengtianmen Tower." "Chengtianmen Louzi" Qingyu followed behind Yan Yong and read silently.
The two approached the "Chengtianmen" and were stopped by the forbidden army guarding the city, and the forbidden army shouted: "The forbidden place of the palace, the idle people leave as soon as possible." Wait for Hugh to come closer. Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he was so close to the palace for the first time, and he didn't even dare to get angry when he was drunk loudly by the forbidden army, and he subconsciously lowered his head and didn't dare to look, and followed closely behind Yan Yong, not leaving an inch.
Yan Yong didn't panic and took Qingyu to still walk forward, taking out the waist card from his arms as he walked. He held it in his hand and raised it high in his mouth and read: "The celebrant went out with the hall to do errands, and now he is back to the palace on an errand." Seeing that the person was coming, the celebrant did not stop Yan Yong and Qingyu from approaching.
Yan Yong approached and handed the waist card in his hand to the forbidden army for inspection, and the forbidden army looked at it several times to confirm that it was correct, and then returned the waist card to Yan Yong, and then looked at Qingyu behind Yan Yong and asked, "Why don't you take out your waist card." Qingyu was a little timid and unconsciously stepped back, Yan Yong patted Qingyu on the shoulder with his hand vigorously to stabilize Qingyu's figure, and invisibly gave Qingyu great concentration, Qingyu did not retreat and stood in the original place, but still bowed his head and remained silent.
Yan Yong said: "This is a little eunuch who is about to enter the palace and has not been sent to any prison so there is no waist card, this is his identity document." Yan Yong handed over a thing that seemed to be a fold to the forbidden army, and the forbidden army took the identity document in his hand and opened it and looked at it carefully. ”
"That's okay, I asked the celebrant to write just to delay Lord Jin Ying's affairs in this way, I don't know if you will take care of it or I will take care of it." Jin Ying, the number one eunuch of the celebrant eunuch, no one dared to offend, Yan Yong took out Jin Ying's name and it was really effective, and the forbidden army was a little difficult to hesitate for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you guys go in." ”
After entering the Chengtian Gate, he entered the palace, and at this time, Qingyu was already sweating profusely, and he was obviously scared just now. At this time, Sun Guifei appeared in the distance on the way to the "Qingning Palace", Qingyu also saw a group of people surrounding a beautiful woman from a distance, and couldn't help but criticize Sun Guifei with her hand curiously and said: "Brother Yan, look at who that beautiful woman is, why are so many people surrounded." ”
Yan Yong couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he saw him pointing at Sun Guifei, and quickly put away Qingyu's hand and said softly: "In the palace, there is dignity and orderliness, and those who are slaves and maids can't look directly at the master, can't contradict the master, and can't point their fingers at the master. Hearing that Yanyong said it so seriously, Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little afraid in his heart.
