Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2590 Jieyu Xu
The red lanterns on the Chengtian Gate were raised high, and the red silk hanging everywhere had not been removed, and the whole palace was full of radiant lights, still full of joyful atmosphere.

A large group of cavalry arrived at the gate of Chengtian, startled the imperial guards guarding the palace gate, and hurriedly looked up from the gate tower. Under the light, Fang Jun, the leader, was immediately recognized at a glance, and he immediately relaxed. Take a breath.

Fang Jun got off his horse and shouted towards the city: "I don't know which general is on duty at night, please come in and report, I want to see His Majesty."

The general of the Forbidden Army in the city asked: "Does Fang Shaobao have the emperor's life?"

Fang Jun shook his head and said, "No."

The general was in a dilemma immediately: "It's the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, if Fang Shaobao doesn't have the emperor's orders, let alone urgent military affairs, he is not allowed to enter the palace according to the law, you should go back."

The imperial palace's permanent guards are the most important thing. When every guard is on duty, it is equivalent to tying his head to the waistband of his trousers. Maybe lose your head, or even hurt your relatives.

It's okay during the day, but the most annoying thing is knocking on the door at night, the risk is too great...

Fang Jun naturally found it difficult for the generals of the forbidden army, so he could only say: "Although there is no urgent military affairs, there are important matters to report to Your Majesty. Please go into the palace to see if Your Majesty is at rest. If you have already rested, I will leave now. I haven't rested yet, please let me know, thank you very much."

The general had no choice, although he was unwilling, but he didn't dare to offend Fang Jun, so he said on the tower: "Then ask Fang Shaobao to wait for a while, and finally report to the palace."

Only then did he instruct his subordinates on the left and right, went down from the top of the city, and rushed to Da Nei in a hurry.

Fang Jun stood under the Chengtian Gate, and waited for a full quarter of an hour before he saw a bamboo basket hanging from the city gate. No matter at any time or for anything, once the palace gate is keyed, it is absolutely not allowed to be opened.If you want to open it, you can only wait for the next morning...

Fang Jun entered the bamboo basket, and the soldiers above moved the noose to hang the bamboo basket up.

When he was approaching the city, Fang Jun saw Wang De, the chief servant, coming up to him, helped him out of the hanging basket by the shoulders, and said softly: "There is a banquet in the palace in the evening, and all the concubines are present. Your Majesty has had a few more drinks. I'm reading a book in the imperial study."

The implication is that the emperor is currently in a good mood...

Fang Jun accepted this favor and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Manager Wang."

Wang De smiled and nodded, turned sideways, and said, "Fang Shaobao, please come with your slaves!"

Leading Fang Jun down the steps inside the city gate building and walking towards the palace, Fang Jun raised his heels to follow.

It is already late at night, but the palace is decorated with lights and festoons everywhere, and from time to time there are maids coming and going in and out of the palaces and towers. Although they have not arrived in the harem, it is obviously very busy with people coming and going, and the whole palace is in joy in the atmosphere.

As the youngest concubine daughter of His Majesty Li Er, Princess Hengshan's status is naturally extraordinary, especially in view of His Majesty Li Er's deep affection with Queen Wende, and he attaches great importance to this daughter's marriage. Everyone in the palace is born with Focusing on the innate skills of Yan Guanse, under such circumstances, it is natural for everyone to show joy in order to please His Majesty Li Er.

That's why the atmosphere in the palace seems to be like New Year's Eve. Whether you're really happy or fake, you have to be happy anyway...

Along the road that passes through kilometers, there are palace wall flower trees on both sides, and lanterns are hung on the trees. The orange light shines through the branches of the trees, casting a mottled shadow on the road.

Holding the lantern in his hand, Wang De was slightly ahead of Fang Jun by half a body, raised his eyes and looked around, and then said in a low voice: "Just now His Royal Highness Jin Wang entered the palace and talked with His Majesty in the imperial study for half an hour. There is no servant by your side, and when you came, His Royal Highness King Jin left not long ago."

Fang Jun didn't speak, just gave a soft "hmm".

This old eunuch was able to serve His Majesty Li Er, and was trusted by His Majesty Li Er, not only because of his loyalty, but also because he had a keen observation of the political situation.

Obviously, once King Jin is released from the confinement, the Guanlong nobles will definitely chase after him, which will inevitably pose a threat to the status of the prince. As an "invisible" supporter of the prince, Wang De immediately discovered the danger. Coupled with the fact that Fang Jun is entering the palace at this moment, it is quickly judged that Fang Jun may be here for this reason.

To be able to live like a fish in water in this shadowy palace where the supreme power of the world is gathered, naturally he will not be a simple person...

There was no conversation between the two along the way.

Although there were lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, it was night after all, and no one could guarantee that someone would hide in the shadows. If something out of the ordinary was heard, it would be a big disaster.

Throughout the dynasties, once eunuchs colluded with foreign ministers, they must be regarded as taboo by the emperor...

Enter from the Chengtian Gate, enter the Dongge Gate eastward in front of the Taiji Hall, turn north again, pass the Menxia Province, Hongwen Hall, and then enter the Da Nei from the Zhuming Gate and Liangyi Gate behind the Taiji Hall to the west. Go around the Liangyi Hall, pass the Ganlu Gate, go east through several flower gardens, and you will arrive at the Shenlong Hall.

Along the way, there were court ladies and concubines passing by from time to time, Fang Jun didn't look sideways, and walked steadily.

Arriving outside the Dragon Hall, Wang De bowed and said, "Please Fang Shaobao later, the old slave will come in and report."

Fang Jun returned the courtesy and said, "I'm in charge of the king."

Wang De smiled: "This is the job of an old slave, why bother?"

After saying that, he stepped into the hall.

Fang Jun stood in front of the hall with his hands behind his back, looking around at the scenery.

At this moment, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night is as cool as water. The heat of the past few days has long since disappeared. The cool breeze is very pleasant. Before the cold dew, the flowers and trees planted in front of the hall are still lush and lush, and occasionally there are a few fruit trees that are full of fruits. array.

After a while, Wang De came back and said: "Your Majesty has an order to announce Fang Shaobao to see you!"

Fang Jun bowed his hands in salute, tidied up his clothes, and then stepped forward and entered the Dragon Hall
The hall was brightly lit, and dozens of thick red candles were hung on the lampstand on the wall. Turning into a corridor from the small door on one side of the hall, it was the Imperial Study Room.

Fang Jun entered the imperial study room, glanced at it, and saw His Majesty Li Er standing in front of the desk with his hands behind his back, and a beautiful woman in a palace costume was sitting on a chair behind the desk, holding a pen with her wrist hanging, and was writing something, so she quickly bowed Reaching the ground, he said loudly: "My minister Fang Jun, I have an audience with Your Majesty!"

His Majesty Li Er gave a "hmm" and said, "Excuse me. This is my Xu Jieyu, I'm afraid Erlang has never seen it before?"

Fang Jun's heart moved, feeling that this is the famous concubine Xu Xian...

Hastily saluted: "I have seen Xu Jieyu!"

Then Xu Jieyu got up immediately, and Yingying returned the gift with a clear and sweet voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate: "The son-in-law who has been admired for a long time is full of talents, and the little girl admires her heart, so she dare not accept the gift!"

The two greeted each other from a distance, His Majesty Li Er laughed, and said warmly: "They are all from my own family, why is there such a vain gift? Jieyu is ready to finish writing this poem quickly. Erlang, you also come forward and taste Jie. Can Yu's poetic calligraphy be on par with yours?"

Xu Jieyu immediately refused, and said shyly: "Your Majesty, how can you be so shy? The concubine is a woman, but she has only read a few poems and books, and occasionally dances and writes a lot of ink. How can she be compared with Fang Erlang, who is known as a master of poetry? Your Majesty It's not embarrassing, the concubine still needs face!"

This girl is fresh and sharp, even though she is acting coquettishly, she still has clear eyebrows and eyes, without any gaudy and coquettish attitude.

His Majesty Li Er is obviously a lustful person. He has loved beautiful women all his life. At this moment, with a doting expression on his face, he laughed and said, "It's just a joke, why should Jieyu take it seriously?"

Holding Xu Jieyu's fragrant shoulders with his big hands, he pushed her to sit on the chair with a little force.

Fang Jun took two steps forward, walked to the desk, and bent down to look at it calmly.

From his angle, he just saw Xu Jieyu's side face from top to bottom, with crow's hair tied up in a bun, full of emerald jewels flickering in the candlelight, with sculpted eyebrows and beautiful eyes, with a delicate and graceful bridge of nose , her rosy lips were slightly pursed, her beautiful cheeks were as smooth as jade, and the pink neck exposed from the neckline of the palace dress was even more elegant, like a swan.

If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is as usual.The neck is extended to show off the items, and the quality is revealed.

She is indeed a peerless beauty with unsurpassed beauty and temperament like jade. No wonder His Majesty Li Er, who is used to the beauty of the world, loves her very much and regards her as a treasure...

There was a piece of pure white rice paper on the desk, Xu Jieyu was holding a brush in her hand, her cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing a bright wrist that bullied Frost Saixue and a soft hair that was as delicate as jade, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, Concentrating on writing and swiping, a line of elegant and graceful lowercase letters with hairpin flowers appears vividly on the paper.
