When Dengwen Drum Courtyard, Wang Gaoban stood in front of the door and stretched his waist long, then shouted a few times to let the eunuchs below take the time to clean. Although Dengwen Drum Courtyard has always been a clean yamen, and few people dare to come and knock on Dengwen, because the Drum Courtyard is at the gate of the imperial city, it must be cleaned up in normal times. Otherwise, if the troublesome censor sees it, they might sue it.

Wang Gaoban was very satisfied with his current situation. Although his position in this class was not high, there were also high-ranking people, including high-ranking people, palace heads, worshipers, etc., and even higher-ranking people, obstetricians, etc., it can be said that he was just an inconspicuous eunuch in the palace, but Wang Gaoban had no ambitions at first, and he was very satisfied to guard such a clear-water yamen. He rarely involved any battles in the palace.

Wang Gaoban is already in his fifties this year. Other eunuchs are generally much older than their actual age due to their health. For example, many eunuchs are already hunched and their hair is gray when they are fifties. However, Wang Gaoban may have a broad mind. He is in his fifties and does not look too old, and even looks younger than normal people. This is also his most proud point.

Under the urging of Wang Gaoban, the eunuchs of Dengwen Drum Court also accelerated the cleaning. Although there was no morning court today, many officials still went to the Imperial City to do business. Dengwen Drum Court is one of the facades of the Imperial City, and cleaning every day is also the most important and tiring thing.

After everyone finished cleaning, Wang Gaoban was carrying a teapot and then wandering around. After finding that the cleaning person was not lazy, he felt relieved. At this time, there were many officials passing by outside the gate of the Guyuan. However, these officials were all above the top and had always been disrespectful to the eunuchs of Wang Gaoban.

Wang Gaoban also knew that he could not get along with these people, so he turned around and returned to his office room. He said that he slept a little late last night, but the older people were not good at this and couldn't sleep at night, so he planned to go back and take a nap.

However, Wang Gaoban did not dare to go to bed openly during the day. After all, there were people coming and going outside the drum courtyard. If someone came in and found him sleeping, he might have done his best, so he could only stay by the stove and doze off. Although it is already spring, it is still quite cold in the morning. Fortunately, a coal stove was launched in the city last year, which is both warm and safe, which made last year's winter much better.

"Dongdongdongdongdong~" Just as Wang Gaoban was dozing, he was suddenly awakened by a dull drum sound. He was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that someone was beating the Dengwen drum outside, which made him lose all sleepiness. He jumped up and walked out. After all, he was in charge of the Dengwen drum courtyard, and he had to deal with someone beating the drum himself.

The other people in Dengwen Drum Court also came out at this time and followed Wang Gaoban out. As a result, when they saw the people who beat the drum outside, they were all stunned. The man was wearing a phoenix crown and a wedding dress. He was actually a married bride. This made Wang Gaoban also stunned. He had been in charge of this place for many years and had seen all kinds of people coming to beat the drum, but this was the first time he saw the bride coming to beat the drum.

"Bold, who are you? Why are you ringing the drum of the sound of the sound of the sound of the drum?" Wang Gaoban immediately stepped forward and scolded.

Seeing Wang Gaoban and others coming out, the woman in the wedding dress finally stopped. Then she bowed slightly and said, "The little woman's surname is Liu, the late Grand Tutor, the daughter of Shangshu Ling Liu Mei. If you have important matters, please pass it on!"

The drum beater was Qingzhi. She made a bold decision last night. Even if Li Zhang was under house arrest, she would have to get married according to her previous engagement. Even if there was no formal wedding, she didn't care. So today she secretly asked someone to prepare a carriage and come to the palace gate. However, she was not like Li Zhang who could enter and exit the palace at will. In the end, she could only think of a way to beat the drum.

Wang Gaoban was also shocked when he heard Qingzhi's self-reporter. Although Liu Mei passed away, she was also the queen mother's elder brother. In other words, the woman in front of her was the queen mother's niece. This was not something he dared to offend, so he immediately changed into a kind smile and said, "It turns out that he is the daughter of Grand Master Liu. Please move to the drum courtyard to rest. I will report to the queen mother now!"

"No need, I'm waiting here!" Qingzhi shook her head at this time. If she wanted to marry Li Zhang, she had to get Liu E's consent. Otherwise, she would not even be able to enter the gate of the imperial city, so she wanted to see Liu E.

Seeing the other party so persistent, Wang Gaoban didn't dare to say anything else. He immediately sent a young eunuch to the palace to report the news. At this time, many officials were entering and leaving the imperial city. When they saw Qingzhi wearing wedding clothes outside the drum courtyard, they all showed curious expressions, and some even stopped to look here.

At the same time, Liu E was also reviewing memorials in the Chuigong Hall. Although there was no morning court today, there were still many memorials sent. She had long been used to it. After breakfast every morning, she would review the memorials sent in the morning and then hand them over to several prime ministers in the Political Affairs Hall for consultation and implementation.

But at this moment, the eunuch from Dengwen Drum Court also came to report. When she heard Liu Mei's woman beating Dengwen Drum in a phoenix crown and robe, she was stunned. Then she suddenly remembered that today should have been the day when Li Zhang and Qingzhi got married, and this marriage was also caused by her efforts, but now Li Zhang is locked in Zongzheng Temple, so the marriage is naturally impossible.

"He came in wedding clothes, she was really brave!" Liu E quickly guessed Qingzhi's intention, which made her look at her niece with some admiration, and even a little appreciated. However, no matter how much she appreciated her, she would not let Li Zhang go so easily and let him get married.

"Tell the order of Ai's family and ask her to go home, and don't make trouble!" Liu E immediately ordered that she didn't want to let Li Zhang go, nor did she want to see Qingzhi, her niece.

The person who reported the report agreed, then quickly left the Chuigong Hall again, and then came to Dengwen Guyuan as fast as possible. At this time, many people were gathered around, not only officials entering and leaving the imperial city, but also some people, but this was the gate of the imperial city. The people did not dare to get too close, so they could only watch from a distance.

"Transfer the Queen Mother's will, the women of the Liu family will go home quickly, and no troubles are allowed!" The eunuch came to Qingzhi and immediately conveyed Liu E's will.

Qingzhi couldn't help but turn pale when she heard this order, but she did not accept the order. Instead, she gritted her silver teeth and took a few steps forward. Finally, she knelt in front of the gate of the imperial city and shouted: "If the queen mother doesn't see me, the little woman will kneel to death in front of the gate!"

Seeing that this little woman dared to disobey Liu E's will, the onlookers were also in an uproar, especially the officials showed a look of surprise. At this time, many people had already known Qingori's identity and found out why she came to see Liu E, which also made more people look admiring for Qingori.

Wang Gaoban saw that Qingzhi refused to leave, which made him very embarrassed. If it were someone else, he could have thrown the other party out with force, but the other party was the niece of the empress dowager and he would not dare to do this even if he beat him to death. In desperation, he could only send someone again to report the situation here to Liu E.

Liu E is a soft-hearted person who is not hard-working. She had a good impression of Aoi, but when she heard that the other party dared to disobey her will, she annoyed her all at once. So she not only did not summon Aoi, but instead directly ordered that Aoi would kneel as long as possible, and also made people disperse the onlookers.

Qingori is also a soft-hearted person on the outside and hard-working person on the inside. To put it bluntly, she is a little stubborn, so after hearing Liu E's instructions, she kept kneeling in front of the city gate and refused to stand up. In fact, she had already made sufficient psychological preparations before coming. Even if she kneeled down to death here, she would still see Li Zhang.

Because of Liu E's order, no one dared to watch the imperial gate again, but the news of Qingori kneeling here had spread. Soon the Liu family came, and Qingori's eldest brother Liu De came in person. When he saw Qingori kneeling in front of the gate, he was also very annoyed. He immediately stepped forward and asked Qingori to go home with him, but Qingori was extremely stubborn, and no matter what Liu De said, it was useless.

Seeing this situation, Liu De became even more annoyed. He immediately wanted to use force and directly pulled Qingzhi into the carriage. However, Qingzhi pulled out the hairpin on his head and pressed it on his neck and said loudly: "If the eldest brother wants me to die here, then just do it!"

Liu De was also shocked by Qingzhi's movements. He knew that his sister was a tough person. If she really forced her, she might really be punished here, which made him dare not move around anymore. The people coming and going around pointed at him, which made Liu De yell in anger: "I'm so angry that I'm so angry, what do you like, I don't care!"

Liu De couldn't stand the gaze of the people around him. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the carriage. After watching his elder brother leave, Qingzhi then gently lowered the hairpin in his hand, and then straightened his body and knelt quietly there. However, others only saw the calmness on her surface, but no one noticed that the hands in her sleeves were tightly held together, because they tried too hard and their joints were a little white.

The news that Qingzhi knelt in front of the city gate not only spread outside the imperial city, but people were discussing this matter everywhere in the imperial city. Zhao Zhen in Jingfu Palace also quickly got the news, which made him anxious and gritted his teeth and went to Liu E's place again. Since this cousin Liu was so affectionate and loyal, Zhao Zhen could not watch her suffer.

But what Zhao Zhen did not expect was that when he arrived at the Chuigong Hall, Liu E refused to see him. Because Liu E had guessed that he was coming, he directly turned him out. This made Zhao Zhen angry and anxious, but there was no way. However, neither Liu E nor Zhao Zhen expected that another person was alarmed by the news.
