The imperial city is still prosperous.

Xin'er took her two children, and after a long journey of several days, she finally arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Who are you? No trespassers into the palace! The guard in charge of the guard stopped her, and his face was so disgusted that he didn't even bother to look at her.

Xin'er thought for a moment, stepped forward, and said again: "I am the royal princess, please inform me!" I want to see the emperor, I want to know where the imperial prince Long Xuan is now? Perhaps, only by telling his identity can he see Long Xuanyuan.

"The Royal Princess?" However, the guard asked rhetorically, and yelled even more fiercely, "You ugly woman, you are so bold that you dare to pretend to be the royal princess!" You don't look at what you look like, you dare to lie that you are the princess? ”

Ugly woman?! At this moment, she remembered that she was no longer the peerless princess of Yuxiang before, and she was not even as good as an ordinary woman!

After three years in Mika's house, she had almost forgotten the ugly scar on her face. Long Xuanyu never said that she was ugly, she would always be that beautiful and naughty Xin'er in his eyes! However, when she walked out of there and into this still prosperous world, she had to face reality.

However, it doesn't matter if anyone dislikes her appearance, she doesn't mind, as long as Long Xuanyu doesn't dislike her, it's enough!

Xin'er raised her hand to stroke the scar on her face, and smiled indifferently at the two guards: "Whether I am the royal princess or not, as long as I have seen the emperor, I will know." If I'm not, it's my own business to bully the king and kill my head! The women only begged a few big brothers to find someone to help report it! ”

"You ugly woman is not afraid of killing heads, what should we do?" Another guard roared. "We don't want to be accused of lying because of your ugly woman! I see that you are with two children, for the sake of the children, you should go back honestly! ”

"I am indeed the Royal Prince, and these two children are also the children of the Royal Prince! I came to the palace to find him! Xin'er hurriedly explained, "Please believe me, a few big brothers, I will definitely not affect you!" ”

"Ha, haha......" Unexpectedly, several guards laughed at the same time, "You ugly woman is too ignorant." We advise you to leave. You're still talking gibberish here! The Royal Prince is the current emperor, you don't even know this, and you dare to lie about the Royal Prince! If you don't leave, we'll arrest you!" "That's it. Draw the sword from your waist. Chase her away again.

Xin'er took a few steps back. I couldn't help but be stunned: "What did you say? Long Xuan Yu really became the emperor? Then Long Xuanyuan ......"

"What a bold man, he dared to call the first emperor and the emperor by name. It seems that you really don't want to live anymore! Several guards swooped down to grab her. Although Xin'er is holding a child in one hand. Still in a light flash, he dodged a few people. However, her show of martial arts increased the doubts of several guards.

"This ugly woman has a special skill, if she wants to infiltrate the palace, she must be an assassin, catch him!" With a loud roar, more guards chased after her. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly swept away, and first avoided these chasing guards.

She held the child in her arms and ran through several alleys, finally getting rid of the guards. Fortunately, the two little guys were very well-behaved and didn't cry. She sat down breathlessly against the wall behind her, a dizziness in front of her. Her body was still a little weak, and this breath ran down, almost using up all her physical strength.

A steamed bun was thrown at her, and when she looked up, people passing by shook their heads and sighed at her. Some even looked at the child in her arms and pointed at it......

She looked at these passers-by in amazement, and reached out to pick up the steamed bun. Looking at the big and soft steamed buns, she was really hungry. I wiped the plaster sticking to it with my sleeve and gnawed it down!

As she nibbled on the steamed bun, another steamed bun was thrown at her, followed by a few copper coins. At this moment, she finally understood that these passers-by were begging for her along the street. Moreover, with two babies in his arms, he is naturally more sympathetic!

She looked down at the child in her arms, and then at the clothes on her body. In the past few days, I have been in a hurry to leave, and I have completely forgotten the dirty and worn clothes on my body. Moreover, her shoes are worn out! It's just that she looks so much like a beggar?

A dirty little black hand reached over, grabbed the steamed bun on the ground that she hadn't picked up yet, and quickly gnawed on it. It was a little beggar of eleven or twelve, looking at the way he was gnawing on steamed buns, he must have been hungry for a long time! She looked at him and watched him quickly finish the steamed bun.

"Do you want more?" She handed him the half she had left.

The little dirty hand reached out to the half of the steamed bun in her hand, but when the hand was about to grab the steamed bun, it retracted. His little face is very dirty, but his eyes are dark and bright, and he looks like a clever little guy!

"Aren't you hungry?" He asked her.

Xin'er smiled faintly and shook her head.

The little beggar stretched out her hand again, her eyes swept over the two children in her arms, and hesitated: "Aren't they hungry?" ”

Xin'er chuckled again: "They're still very young, they won't eat this." ”

As soon as her words fell, he couldn't wait to take the half of the steamed bun and swallowed it all into his stomach in a few bites.

"Thank you, sister, I haven't eaten in two days!" The little beggar sat down beside her and looked at her curiously, "Is this sister with two such young children fleeing from the disaster?" ”

"Fleeing the disaster? Has there been a disaster in your hometown? Xin'er asked rhetorically. Since he asked her so, he naturally fled the disaster.

The little beggar nodded: "Last year, there was a flood in my hometown, many people drowned, my parents and family died, only I am alive!" Did my sister's hometown also have floods? ”

"Nope!" Xin'er shook her head, "I'm here to find someone!" ”

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Don't you have to go hungry if you find it? The little beggar looked at him expectantly, for for him, not to be hungry was his greatest luxury.

Xin'er smiled and nodded, picked up a few copper plates on the ground, and put them into his little hand: "This, also for you!" ”

"You gave it all to me, what are you going to do?" The little beggar shook his head and refused. Although he is small, he is a kind and sensible child, and Xin'er can't help but love this little guy a little more.

"You tell me what I want to know, these copper plates are your payment, how about it?" Shove the copper plate into his hand again.

The little beggar looked at the copper plate in his hand and hesitated, "What do you want to know?" What if I don't know? ”

"You know!" Xin'er still smiled lightly, her problem, except for herself, everyone in this imperial city should know. "Little brother, is the current emperor the former imperial prince?"

"Huh!" When the little beggar heard this, it was a simple question, and he couldn't help but smile easily, "Emperor Xuanyuan died, and naturally the imperial prince ascended the throne to take over the throne!" It is said that the crown prince has been missing for several years, and there is no news, and the prince is the prince, which is a matter of course! ”

"When did he ascend the throne?" Can't wait to ask.

"Three months ago, a month after Emperor Xuanyuan's death!" The little beggar said with great interest, not noticing Xin'er's lost expression at all, "The imperial prince has become an emperor, and he is more diligent and loves the people than Emperor Xuanyuan!" The tax has been reduced by half, and I will personally visit the people on the fifteenth day of every month! It's just that if this famine is controlled, it will be even better! ”

Three months ago?! Three months ago, Long Xuanyu ascended the throne and became emperor, and he was already the emperor of Yunlong. He was diligent in his administration and loved the people, and understood the sufferings of the people, but why didn't he come back to her? He didn't come back, and he didn't even go back to Yuxiang Xiaoju even after night. What's wrong with him? Forgot about her so quickly?

Seeing her pondering indifferently, the little beggar shook his hand in front of her: "Sister, what are you thinking?" ”

"I want to see him, I must see him!" She wanted to ask why? Why did he leave her there, her royal would never leave her alone!

"Who?" The little beggar was stunned and asked, "Who is he that my sister is talking about?" The one you're looking for? ”

"Long Xuan Yu, I want to see Long Xuan Yu!" Maybe a little excited, Xin'er said instinctively.

The little beggar opened his mouth even more in surprise: "Does my sister want to see the emperor?" What are you doing when you see the emperor? Moreover, the emperor's name can't be said casually! ”

"Is there anything you can do? As long as you can see him! She excitedly grabbed the little beggar's hand.

The little beggar didn't understand why she wanted to see the emperor, but looking at her eagerness, it didn't look like a lie at all. After hesitating for a long time, he said: "This emperor is not something that we ordinary people can see, if you really want to see it, there is only one way!" ”

"What's the solution?"

"Sister, didn't I just say that the emperor will leave the palace on the fifteenth day of every month? It's just that when he leaves the palace, there will be a lot of guards to follow, except for looking at the golden dragon sedan chair from a distance, he can't get close either! ”

"Fifteen a month?" Xin'er raised her hand and counted today's dates, and said in surprise, "Isn't it exactly fifteen today?" Little brother, I have to go to the gate of the palace, I have to see him! As she spoke, she was already holding her two children and wanted to run in the direction of the palace gate again.

The little beggar hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said with a dirty little face: "Sister, it's noon now, and the emperor has already left the palace!" This time, the emperor must have left the palace in plain clothes, because none of us know! ”

Noon?! Xin'er raised her eyes and glanced at the sunlight in the sky, and couldn't help but feel a little lost. Yes, it's noon, and since Long Xuanyu went out of the palace in plainclothes to inspect the people's situation, he must have left the palace a long time ago!

However, if he goes out, he will definitely come back! A smile appeared on his lost face again, and he took a step forward and continued to walk in the direction of the palace gate. (To be continued.) )
