There are four gates in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, Zhengyang Gate faces south, Shenwu Gate faces north, and the left and right sides are Qinghua Gate and Ziwu Gate respectively.

Hundreds of officials entered the court and marched from Zhengyang Gate and left through Ziwu Gate.

The palace changed the forbidden army from the Zhengyang Gate and exited the Shenwu Gate.

The people who pass through the Qinghua Gate are generally the emperor's relatives and national prestige, or the courtiers who are temporarily recruited, as well as the civil and military candidates who can enter the palace examination in the imperial examination.

Arriving at Qinghua Gate, the princess Guiwei also had to get off the jade chariot and enter on foot, and she also had to submit a summoning warrant and enter the declaration book to enter the palace.

The process is cumbersome, and if there is a few, it will be blocked, even if Cheng Guanggui is the prince of Zhenguo, if there is no Wu clan to lead him today, he will not be able to enter the palace.

From this moment on, a sense of solemnity permeated the air all around.

Cheng Guang walked down the jade chariot and looked at the red tile walls around him, which was inexplicably similar to the palace seen in the film and television dramas of his previous life.

However, the Great Zhou Palace is much grander than the palace that Cheng Guang had seen in his previous life, and the city wall alone is ten zhang long.

Thanks to the fact that there are many powerful warriors in this world, the castle walls and pavilions are all cut from a single piece of hard white jade, which is ingenious.

While bringing a strong sense of refinement, it also gives people a visible sense of luxury and dignity.

There are forbidden army guards outside the Qinghuamen Palace, and every forbidden soldier is wearing heavy chain mail, wearing strong and stubborn, and exuding coldness all over his body, all of them are first-class martial arts masters.

The forbidden troops on both sides carefully checked the summoning warrant and the proclamation book, and then let them go, but there were also restrictions on the number of people who accompanied them, except for the two handmaidens who were close to them, no one else was allowed to enter, and they were waiting outside.

"Guang'er, let's go."

Wu Shi spoke, she was very familiar with the palace, she had grown up here since she was a child, but Cheng Guang didn't come much, so she deliberately pulled her by her side, took his hand, and walked towards the palace.

The palace is very large, visible to the naked eye, at a glance, you can't see the end of the palace, many pavilions, under the cover of high walls, you can only see the luxury and solemnity everywhere, just like a small city.

If it is a real prince, Cheng Guang will not be much nervous even if he goes to the palace, but he is just a small stand-in, if he floats and regards himself as the real prince, there is a high probability that he will die miserably if he is exposed in this palace.

Cheng Guang is self-aware, he doesn't touch things that shouldn't be touched as much as possible, and if he can shut up and not speak, he will shut up and not speak, otherwise he won't know how to die.

And just as Cheng Guang was pondering, the group paused slightly, and arrived at a small palace gate.

The number of forbidden troops here is obviously much smaller than the number of forbidden troops outside the Qinghua Gate of the Imperial Palace, but in terms of quality, it is several orders of magnitude higher than that of the forbidden army outside.

These forbidden soldiers were dressed in silver armor, standing in place with cold faces, motionless up and down, but the next moment, it seemed that they were looking at themselves, and when they saw them, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

It's not that these forbidden troops did it deliberately, but in the long-term fighting, the temperament that naturally brewed is already similar to the existence of a kind of field, without their strong people, close to them within a certain range, the combat power is directly reduced by thirty percent.

Most of these people are at the level of generals on the battlefield, but now they are only used to guard this palace gate.

Cheng Guang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the royal pride was inhumane.

Walking into the palace, the strange flowers and strange scenery made Cheng Guang smack his tongue secretly, and after watching the flowers for a while, Cheng Guang came to the main hall of the palace.

Stepping into the main hall, I saw an old woman with a charitable face, holding a Buddhist scripture in her hand, wearing a lens device similar to reading glasses, squinting her eyes and studying it carefully.

The old woman had gray-white sideburns, wore a purple dragon robe, a nine-dragon jade hairpin on her head, and wore a string of white jade pearls, looking extremely luxurious.

This is the empress dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Empress Dowager Li, who served Taizu back then, and now the emperor was brought up by her, abandoning the prince chosen by Taizu, and the series of things about Wushang ascending the throne were also planned by her.

The old woman looked kind, but on the inside it was not as simple as it seemed.

At this time, Cheng Guang also mentioned 100,000 points of spirit in his heart, although this old woman has also never seen Shizi much, but who knows if she will recognize herself as just an impostor.

"Queen Mother, Yuemei greets Queen Mother."

Wu pulled Cheng Guangbai and fell in front of the old woman.

"Yo, the moon eyebrows are here."

Empress Dowager Li, an old woman who was reading a book, suddenly heard Wu's voice, and when she read it, her face was full of smiles.

Cheng Guang noticed that the old woman's eyes were watching him and the Wu clan beside him, and immediately followed the Wu clan and said obediently.

"Meet the imperial grandmother, I wish the imperial grandmother a blessing like the East China Sea, a longevity better than the south sky, a smile always open, and good health."

Cheng Guang subconsciously said the blessings of his previous life, and as soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Guang couldn't help but want to fan himself a few big pockets.

The image of the prince is not a person who can say such things, in the past, he was like a stuffy gourd, at most with a little arrogance and a sense of soberness that everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober.

Collapsed.

The character is broken.

Cheng Guang's heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and he didn't dare to look directly at the old woman's fierce gaze.

However, things did not go as bad as Cheng Guang imagined at this time.

The old woman listened to Cheng Guang's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on her face instantly became dozens of times richer.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a long time, Xiao Guang'er is so good at pleasing the imperial grandmother, let the imperial grandmother take a good look."

One thing I have to say is that the reason why the prince is so noble is that he even dares to find a stand-in casually, secretly hide from Cheng Zhihai and Wu Yuemei, and sneak out to play alone.

A big reason is because the Empress Dowager likes Cheng Guang very much.

No one understands this.

It stands to reason that the degree of blood closeness is still his grandson, and the grandson is more popular.

But things are the opposite, the world knows that although Empress Dowager Li also likes her grandson, she prefers Cheng Guang's grandson.

People in the world can't help but speculate whether there is the influence of Cheng Shiyuan, the prince of Zhenguo, behind this.

Empress Dowager Li completely ignored her daughter at this time, pulled Cheng Guang to her side, and said distressedly.

"Hey, Xiaoguang'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, why have you lost weight, your hands have become so rough, and your father has forced you to practice martial arts again?"

"The face doesn't seem to be so good-looking, is it sick or what? After a while, my grandmother will take you to the imperial doctor to prescribe a few pairs of medicines for you. ”

"If you still need anything, you can tell your grandmother, if your father forces you to practice martial arts in the future, your grandmother will help you reason."

Cheng Guang was at a loss for a while, he didn't expect that the grandmother of the son would react like this, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and it seemed that he was not exposed.

As for whether he is thin or not, he has been working as a groom before, he can't eat enough, he can't wear warm clothes, it's good if he doesn't starve to death, and he has gained a lot of weight recently.

Cheng Guang slandered in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything after all, but after thinking about it, he was a little scheming but cared about his grandmother.

"Grandmother, I'm fine, but grandmother, you have to take care of your body, don't be tired, as long as grandmother is healthy, grandchildren will be satisfied."

As soon as these words came out, the old woman's heart was almost broken, the corners of her eyes moistened a little, and although the language was simple, her emotions were sincere.

My heart is full of warmth and emotion.

"Good grandson, you still know that you feel sorry for your grandmother, and your grandmother's body is still tough."

"Come on, come here, you come all the way, are you hungry, there are a lot of snacks you like to eat when you are young, take them and eat them."

"Huang Ying, go and tell the imperial dining room to prepare some more spiritual food."

Empress Dowager Li was very kind, and directly ordered the palace maids around her to prepare spiritual food.

The palace maid immediately nodded, smiled, and turned to leave the arrangement.

"Queen Mother, Guang'er is not young now, I plan to find a family affair for him in the near future, and I don't know which girl is good, Queen Mother, you will give you more ideas when the time comes."

Wu Yuemei lowered her eyebrows and told her intentions.

When Empress Dowager Li heard this topic, she immediately cheered up and sat up slightly.

"Naturally, I must have long eyes when he marries the old woman, what kind of candidate do you have for Yuemei?"

Empress Dowager Li took her attention away from Cheng Guang's body and fell on Wu's body, and the two of them turned their heads and began to discuss Cheng Guang's marriage.

To be precise, it is not Cheng Guang's marriage, but the marriage of the son.

Yuemei relaxed a lot in front of her mother, and counted her fingers like a little daughter's posture.

"Song Wanyu, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, is a famous talented woman in Kyoto, and she has reached the realm of Sanpin Purple Mansion at a young age, which can be regarded as both civil and military, and it feels very good."

"Wan Duoduo, the girl of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, is also very good, her figure is the kind that can give birth to and raise, and her cultivation realm is also very high, she is already a five-grade god realm, and she can be regarded as a beautiful person in the entire young generation."

“……”

Empress Dowager Li listened to them one by one, and then gave her own opinions and comments in a timely manner, unexpectedly giving people a feeling of picking melons and buying vegetables, as if as long as they fancied, they could marry them.

In fact, it is.

The son of Zhenguo, the nephew of the emperor of the dynasty, and the only son of Princess Yuemei...... All kinds of names add up, and which girl you like is basically a matter of one sentence.

Cheng Guang saw that Empress Dowager Li and the Wu family were chatting hotly, and he didn't pay attention to himself anymore, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, you guys talk, I'll just listen to it.

Anyway, I'm just a stand-in, little transparent, and none of this has much to do with me.

However, it was also at this time.

The maid's voice suddenly sounded.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and a few concubines have come over with a few highnesses and princesses."

As the voice sounded, the smile on Empress Dowager Li's face was noticeably less.

Yuemei's tone of voice paused, tidied up her clothes slightly, and did not continue to talk about Cheng Guang's marriage with Empress Dowager Li, but moved her gaze to the palace gate in a dignified manner.

Obviously, when other people arrive, it is not so appropriate to talk about Cheng Guang's marriage.
