Chapter 373: Entering the palace for the first time
The palace with its red walls and green tiles was almost the same as Liu Yun had imagined. The magnificent palace, the pavilions and pavilions with carved railings and jade columns, exuded majesty and solemnity everywhere. Even the way people walked was completely different from the people outside the palace gate. She Standing at the palace gate, he raised his head slightly and looked at the majestic palace in the distance.
Those who can enter the palace to discuss matters can become the highest among people. People look forward to entering through the main entrance of the palace and enjoying all the glory and wealth. However, they forget that many times, danger and luck coexist. One step forward is heaven, and one step back is paradise. The last step may be hell, and life and death are often just a matter of the thought of the person on the dragon throne.
Greed has stopped many people from moving forward, and even caused many people to lose their lives. Many times people just blindly pursue higher and better things, but forget that the original intention of pursuit is enjoyment. What's more, pursuing that The supreme power attempts to control everyone's life and death, but little does it know that those are just challenges that exceed one's ability. To the man on the dragon throne, these trivial tricks are mostly unsightly.
Liu Yun did not want Dongfang Ye to stay with the emperor for a long time. It is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Dongfang Ye also understood this truth, so he said that now he is still needed by the emperor, so in the future, Once there is no use value, Liu Yun cannot imagine what will happen to a confidant like Dongfang Ye.
But at the same time, she knew that Dongfang Ye was an ambitious person, and he was a person with the world in mind. Such a person seemed to be born for the people. He must rely on the emperor's power to benefit the people, so he would never Will betray the emperor, as long as the emperor is always a wise king and always cares about the people.
With such uneasiness, Liu Yun followed Dongfang Ye into the palace gate. Originally, he was sympathetic to Liu Yun's pregnancy, so the emperor specially ordered a sedan chair to pick her up. However, Dongfang Ye declined the emperor's kindness, saying that she was pregnant. Liuyun had never been to the palace before, so he took her for a walk while the weather was nice today.
My lover Dongfang Ye treated the palace as a garden and took his wife to visit the garden. After listening to Dongfang Ye's words, all the rich ladies and ladies attending the banquet were a little displeased, but seeing the emperor They seemed to be in a good mood and didn't mind Dongfang Ye's late arrival at all, so they didn't have much to say.
"That's the emperor's palace. The golden palace in the back, with the phoenix on the pillar, is the queen's palace. Beyond that is the palace of the noble concubine and the concubines." Dongfang Ye hugged Liuyun, and from the moment he entered the palace, he His hand has never left her, and he can't blame him for being so cautious. There are actually many people in the palace today, and he is afraid that someone will come with ill intentions and hurt Liuyun if they can't hurt him, so he still protects her carefully by himself. wonderful.
Following them were Chu Xia and Luo Chen. Both of them often went to and from the palace to deliver news to the young master. Chu Xia even had a job as a female official in the palace. There were concubines from the front and back palaces who came to trouble her, thinking that she was interested. After seducing the emperor, I don't know who took action to deal with the concubine. The emperor directly ordered that she be sent to the cold palace. After that, no one dared to say anything wrong about Chu Xia again.
At this moment, looking at my young master calmly introducing the palace to the young lady, with a serious look, it really seems like that. It's a pity that the two people following him are his two confidants, who are very interested in him. Even if you can't guess your thoughts, you can still get 50 or 60 points. Their young master made it clear here that he wanted to avoid someone.
But I'm afraid the young master will be disappointed, because the people he wants to avoid must be unavoidable. Even if the young master introduces the entire palace two or three times, he will always meet people he doesn't want to see when he goes to the palace for banquets. of.
"Young Master, why don't you go to Kaiyang Palace? By now, everyone who should have come and not should have arrived, I'm afraid it wouldn't be right for you to delay any longer." Luochen finally spoke, lowering his head slightly and facing him. My master suggested.
Dongfang Ye glanced away with a cold look, hummed softly, and then walked toward Kaiyang Palace with Liu Yun in his arms. He remembered the news he had received earlier in the morning. King An's matter originally involved Shen Yi, but after all, he He was Princess Ayima's consort, but in the end the emperor spared him and passed him by. He specially brought the princess to the capital, saying it was to report on his duties, but in fact he was just to test out the emperor's tone and take a look at the atmosphere in the capital.
"Ye, you clearly don't want to come to the banquet, why did you bring me here anyway? Is it because of the emperor's order?" Liu Yun always felt that Dongfang Ye's attitude was strange. If he really didn't want to come to the banquet, he could have many reasons to refuse. After all, Liu Yun was pregnant now, which was an excellent reason, but he still brought her to the palace, but he seemed obviously unwilling.
"Your Majesty, sometimes he behaves like a child. I will tell you slowly when I have time later. If I don't bring you to see him this time, I don't know what trouble he will cause in the future. Let yourself go to him." Dongfang Ye sighed slightly. Everyone said that the current emperor ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness and was a polite monarch. However, only those who are familiar with him know how deep and cunning the emperor's thoughts are, and how deep and cunning the emperor's thoughts are. His battle of wits and courage is definitely a labor-intensive thing.
So at the beginning, he faced the constant danger of being pulled down from the position of prince. He endured and exercised restraint, and finally eliminated those who coveted the throne. Later, when he sat on the throne, his power fell away. He secretly accumulated power for many years, and finally was able to Taking back the political power, this emperor has always been a person not to be underestimated.
It was rare for Liu Yun to see such an expression on Dongfang Ye's face, which was similar to a look of admiration and helplessness. She had never had such an expression even when talking about his father, Marquis Dongfang. She could tell Dongfang Ye admired the emperor, otherwise he would not have stayed with the emperor willingly for so many years.
"What a beautiful flower." Liu Yun stopped and couldn't help but lean down and smell it. The fragrance came and she couldn't help but close her eyes slightly.
Dongfang Ye stretched out his hand to pick off a flower and stuck it on Liuyun's temple. It was more beautiful than any hairpin.
"Stop." A low shout came from behind, and Dongfang Ye really stopped. To be honest, no one has dared to yell at him in these years. Even if the emperor was plotting against him in private, he always showed his face. He was courteous to him, and no one in Linyang City dared to be so presumptuous towards him. He was quite interested in knowing who dared to stop him.
Dongfang Ye and Liu Yun both turned around. A woman in palace attire was followed by a group of maids. The woman in palace attire had a slightly protruding belly and looked like she was pregnant. Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly. He probably knew this. Who is it? The one who is so arrogant now that she is pregnant in the palace is probably Wu Guiren, who just transformed from a palace maid a while ago and became pregnant through a night of kindness.
Even Dongfang Ye heard about Wu Guiren's arrogance. One can imagine how domineering and arrogant the person in front of him was. It must be that the person below him has been doing it for a long time and finally turned over. Naturally, he wants to go all out.
Everyone in the world knows that she is now pregnant with Long Chong and a dragon heir.
"You dare to pick the misty sunflowers that the emperor specially rewarded. You are really bold." Wu Guiren narrowed his eyes. His arrogant attitude and arrogant gaze made him want to be executed.
