Chapter 14: The First Entry into the Palace

The Imperial Palace of the Northern Wei Dynasty, with the Taiji Hall as the center, has the West Palace and the East Palace, which has been expanded and rebuilt for nearly 100 years and has become a complete palace complex.

Yueguan Xia Pavilion, Left Society Right Dian, Lingtai Mountain, Bishui Pond Circle, Shuangque Wan Li, Jiuqu Sida, Yujing Linsen, Hall Jiaoge.

The palace is majestic and magnificent, magnificent, Yuyu Qionglou, pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and paintings, it is extremely luxurious.

Gu Tingcheng stepped on the white marble steps and walked up, looking at the majestic palace, it was simply dizzying.

Even the ground is covered with fine white jade, shining with a warm light.

The palace is heavily guarded, and the Imperial Forest Army has three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and even the birds in the sky must be carefully checked, so that the birds can fly freely over the palace.

"The Guards?" Gu Qingcheng muttered in his heart.

Looking at the majestic and well-armored Imperial Forest Army, she touched the waist card close to her body, and couldn't help but think of the gangsters who kidnapped her that night.

If that person is a Guard, will he lose his waist card and lose his life? Is he in these Guards at the moment?

Thinking like this, I couldn't help but look at those Imperial Forest Soldiers again.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi had already arranged for Xiao Huangmen to be guided, so that Liu Rushuang and Gu Tingcheng could enter the harem smoothly.

"It's not in vain! I really haven't seen the world before. Liu Rushuang whispered beside Gu Qingcheng, "Don't look around, beware of the Royal Forest Army, when you are an assassin, arrest you!" ”

Gu Qingcheng was so frightened that he tightened his shoulders and looked at the road.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi was not in a good mood because of the assassination of his son King Nan'an. In addition, King Gaoyang added the title of General Yipin Flying Eagle, which made her even more blocked.

It's just that the palace people came to report that Liu Rushuang, the wife of Shang Shulang, and Gu Qingcheng, the country girl, arrived, and she also strengthened her spirit and maintained her usual grace and luxury.

"Pass them in!"

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi combed a high spine bun, towering, phoenix rings and pearls, graceful brocade robes, fair and delicate, eyebrows and spring.

Although she is over forty years old, the years have not left many marks on her face.

So the grace has not diminished.

Liu Rushuang and Gu Chengcheng entered the hall and saluted Lu Zuo Zhaoyi.

"Lu Zuo Zhaoyi Niangniang Wan'an." Although Gu Tingcheng was shy, he said while making a big salute.

Liu Rushuang was slightly surprised, didn't this girl understand any etiquette? Looking at her salute today, she is generous and decent, but it doesn't look like a country girl's behavior.

Could it be that her previous cowardice and ignorance of the rules were all pretended?

"Well, she really looks like your mother, with the same eyebrows and eyes." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi bowed slightly, and then the corners of his eyes became moist and hot.

The daughter of the deceased, no matter what, she has to put on a display of nostalgia and kindness in front of people.

Otherwise, those goblins who will do anything to compete for favor don't know how they will chew their tongues with His Majesty.

"Come, give a seat." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi called to the palace maid.

The palace maid gave the seat tea, but greeted him warmly.

"Let's all go down!" Lu Zuo Zhaoyi ordered the people of the palace to retreat.

"Yes......"

Gu Tingcheng's eyes are rippling, his eyebrows are picturesque, his skin is like condensed fat, his sitting posture is dignified and generous, and his slender jade hand is elegant in holding a tea cup.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi was secretly surprised, this is like a country woman who doesn't know the depths, and her appearance is comparable to the beauties of the harem and those noble princesses.

Liu Rushuang is on the side:

"Allure only arrived in Pingcheng last night, and today I shouted that I want to come to see Zuo Zhaoyi's mother, and I want to end my mother's heart as soon as possible, this child is filial and sensible."

"Yes, I didn't expect the village girl to know some etiquette." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi was quite surprised.

When the palace people dispersed, she didn't have to pretend in front of people, and put on a high-minded posture.

For the sake of the future of herself and the king of Nan'an, she has to find a strong family for the king of Nan'an, so that she can help the king of Nan'an.

Wang Bijun, I only blame your mother and daughter for their thin lives, your red face and thin lives, and your daughter didn't fly on the branches to become a phoenix! Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's eyes converged, and he said secretly in his heart.

"Niangniang, she felt that she had lived in the countryside for a long time, did not understand human feelings, was ashamed of herself, and did not dare to climb the prominent King of Nan'an, so she took the initiative to withdraw from her family."

Liu Rushuang immediately brought the conversation to the point.

"But I have self-knowledge, Princess Nan'an, how noble, how can a rural village girl climb high!

The so-called doll kiss is just a joke in the palace back then.

Only ignorant women and children who have never seen the world will take it seriously! Lu Zuo Zhaoyi sneered.

Gu Qingcheng kept lowering his eyes slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi saw Gu Qingcheng's Jingchai cloth skirt, but she still couldn't hide her gentle and delicate spirit, and her aura was compelling.

After a pause, he was a little unbearable, and said in a tone of grace:

"If you take the initiative to withdraw from your family, you will be considered interested. Seeing you is also pitiful, if there is still fate, or, I can reward you with a side concubine. ”

Liu Rushuang said in her heart: Being a side concubine is just adding to the blockage for her daughter.

Liu Rushuang didn't even let Gu Tingcheng get involved with the side concubine.

"Niangniang, the friendship between the courtiers and Niangniang, although it is not as close as Niangniang and Sister Bijun.

But the courtiers and the mother, as well as the cousin of the courtiers, are also old acquaintances with the mother-" Liu Rushuang was still trying to continue the topic.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi glanced at the past sharply, and Liu Rushuang immediately choked on the topic just now.

After a moment of amazement, Liu Rushuang said again:

"Niangniang, I heard that the light cavalry general Yihun is becoming more and more valued by His Majesty.

My cousin, but watching our family Chu Yao grow up, he loves that child very much. ”

Liu Rushuang didn't mention the topic of the old acquaintance just now, but began to hint that if King Nan'an married Gu Chuyao as the princess, he would get the support of the light cavalry general Yihun.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's expression was slightly pleased.

"Chu Yao is getting more and more beautiful, and her dancing skills are excellent, and this palace misses her strangely. Why don't I go into the palace with you this time and let the palace take a look? Lu Zuo Zhaoyi bowed slightly, comprehending.

"This time it's Allure to come and quit the family, and Chu Yao is inconvenient. Next time, the courtiers will definitely take Chu Yao into the palace to meet the mother. "Willow is like frost, and her heart is full of flowers.

"Allure," Lu Zuo Zhaoyi looked at Gu Tingcheng with pity, "What about the piece of phoenix blood jade that the palace gave you at the beginning?" ”

"Yu Jue ......" mentioned Yu Jue, and Gu Qingcheng thought of the outlaw again.

"Niangniang, the Yujue of Allure has been wearing it, but there was a fight on the way to Pingcheng, but Yujue was lost at that time." Liu Rushuang helped explain.

Glancing at Gu Qingcheng again, he said:

"In fact, Niangniang, even if there is no Yujue, Allure is like a fake, since she wants to take the initiative to withdraw from her family, the courtiers think that it is not very important whether to return Yujue or not."

"Also, Yu Jue is a thing outside the body, since the deities are here, it can also be used as a certificate." Lu Zuo Zhaoyi nodded.

Looking at Gu Qingcheng, Lu Zuo Zhaoyi raised his chin and said with some pity:

"Well, after all, it's the daughter of an old man.

Go back to the main palace, reward you with some silver taels, you go to the Linglong Pavilion of the Champion Fang in Pingcheng, or, go to the heavens and the earth for a walk, that is an excellent prosperous place.

You can see and see, buy a few more beautiful clothes and jewelry, and then go back to your hometown. ”

Gu Qingcheng, who has been watching them sing and harmonize, raised his eyes to look at the graceful and luxurious Zhaoyi Niangniang.

Suddenly, he said without being arrogant or humble: "Niangniang, can Allure talk to you in private?" ”

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi and Liu Rushuang were stunned at the same time.

"You kid, you just praised you for being sensible, why don't you know how thick the sky is! What qualifications do you have to catch up with your mother? Liu Rushuang scolded in a low voice.

"Renewing? What old can this palace talk about with you! It seems that you want to rely on this palace! Lu Zuo Zhaoyi dragged out his voice, with a look of disdain.

She thought that Gu Tingcheng wanted to kneel and beg in private, and she was reluctant to do this family matter.

If she weeps and cries in this palace, she will live or die. It is annoying to be chewed on the root of the tongue by other concubines in front of His Majesty!

"Does Niangniang really think that the village girl in the countryside is not worthy of being the princess of Nan'an?" Gu Qingcheng is not reserved.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi stood up suddenly, and pointed to a few cases beside Gu Qingcheng with a sneer:

"Do you know what kind of tea cup you just served and what kind of tea you ate?"

Gu Qingcheng shook his head with a smile.

"Humph!" Lu Zuo Zhaoyi snorted coldly in his nostrils, and said coldly:

"Forgive me for being a rural village girl, naturally I don't understand!

The tea cup is a celadon cup used by the imperial palace in the Western Han Dynasty, which is difficult to fire and more expensive than a thousand gold.

The tea is the green incense of this year's spring, and it takes five hundred taels of silver to get one tael.

The water used to boil tea is the hundred flowers and jade dew collected by hundreds of palace maids in the prime of cardamom.

You drank it in a daze, but it was like a cow chewing a peony, and you didn't know its preciousness.

Do you think that a rural village girl like you, who has no knowledge and can only afford to wear a jinghai cloth skirt, is vainly trying to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, fly on the branches and become a phoenix?

Even if you have a dead face, if you want to live or die, will this palace be soft-hearted?! ”

"That's it, a vulgar country girl, is it possible that you still want to cry, make trouble, and hang yourself?" The corners of Liu Rushuang's mouth showed a sneer of victory, and she shouted in a low voice: "Don't upset the mother!" ”

Gu Tingcheng looked at Lu Zuo Zhaoyi with a smile, and said without hurrying:

"What did Niangniang just say, Linglong Pavilion, heaven and earth. Those prosperous places, Allure is not much interest.

I have heard that the Buddha Shakyamuni in the southern suburbs of Jialan Temple can respond to requests and cure all kinds of diseases.

Many women with terminal diseases, such as sores on the top of their heads, pus on the soles of their feet, black hearts and blindness, or women who have no moon letters, cannot have children, and have bald hair and ugly appearance, go to pray for blessings, hoping that Shakyamuni Buddha will be able to eliminate illness and disasters and fulfill his wishes.

It's a pity that the Najialan Temple was sealed many years ago.

Otherwise, Allure wants to go to the Buddha light of Jialan Temple to see if it can really cure all diseases. ”

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi's sharp eyes, and Gu Tingcheng's calm and calm eyes, were close to each other, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze all of a sudden.

After a moment, she suddenly shouted loudly to the palace outside: "Someone! ”

The palace people hurried in.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi said to the palace maid: "Mrs. Shangshu Langzhong has worked hard, you take her to the side hall to rest with tea, so that she can be entertained!" ”

Liu Rushuang's heart trembled, why did Niangniang listen to Gu Tingcheng's words, and even have to break up herself?

She vaguely felt that Gu Qingcheng had some conspiracy and wanted to stop it.

But Niangniang's sharp eyes reveal the majesty of the superior, and since Niangniang has spoken, she can't be ignored.

Liu Rushuang's mind turned back and forth, but she didn't dare to lose her sense of proportion.

"Thank you, mother." Liu Rushuang glanced at Gu Qingcheng suspiciously, and went to the side hall with the palace maid.

Lu Zuo Zhaoyi waved his hand lightly, and all the palace maids and attendants withdrew from the main hall.
