Lawless has completely become the backbone general in the Crown Prince's Six Commands. Ever since he followed His Highness the Crown Prince, he has always been loved and appreciated by His Highness the Crown Prince. In the eyes of outsiders, these two people are absolute confidants and direct generals of the Crown Prince.
Although there are no rewards for military merits yet, everyone knows that it is only a matter of time for these two people to rise to great heights, be promoted to high positions, and honor their ancestors.
Also because of Li Hong's high regard for them, the two of them immediately adjusted and reorganized the Six Rates after they came back. Now the left and right military guards of the East Palace are controlled by the two of them.
As for the guards of the East Palace, as the top priority of the Crown Prince's Six-Level defense, they naturally attach great importance to them. All the soldiers are made up of elite soldiers who followed His Royal Highness in the Western Regions.
The layout of the entire East Palace, after reconstruction, is still simply divided into three courtyards.
The huge palace gate still has the same name as before, but even after the reconstruction, the palace walls were built with stones. Jiafu Gate is still the first palace gate, with the barracks of the prince's left and right guards on the left and right.
The huge square between Jiafu Gate and Chongjiao Gate belongs to the territory of the Liuli Guards. Therefore, if you want to enter the East Palace, the heavily guarded Liuli Guards must be passed.
After passing the Chongjiao Gate, there are the former Chongjiao Hall, Chongwen Hall, and Chongren Hall, including the Li Zheng Hall between the two, and the Chongwen Hall, which have long been razed to the ground.
The first courtyard, which has become relatively less guarded, is where all the prince officials in the East Palace handle government affairs. According to the division of responsibilities, each department has an independent large courtyard and several independent small buildings.
The chiefs of each department have their own dedicated study here, and they can even stay up all night to deal with government affairs in the East Palace.
In each independent and spacious courtyard, there is not only a small garden for officials to walk and relax, but also there are towering trees on both sides of the road. In summer, it is a pleasant scene with green trees and blooming flowers. , coupled with the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard, it feels like a paradise.
After passing through these administrative affairs and entering the courtyard, there are the main hall and the auxiliary hall of His Royal Highness. Except for the abrupt main hall that seems a bit out of place with these buildings, the whole still gives people a majestic, solemn and leisurely feeling.
All the side halls include the maids of the East Palace, the eunuchs, the inner palace (in charge of all life and affairs in the Prince's East Palace), the dining kitchen, and other palaces such as a conference room and the martial arts hall.
The main hall is still called Li Zheng Hall, a huge two-story building made entirely of stone and cement. Apart from Li Hong, only the five daughters Xia Zhi and Bai Chun can stay in this building, and the rooms are naturally Arranged on the second floor.
Including other palace ladies, a few can be arranged on the first floor, while the rest are not so lucky. Even Hua Meng and others can only live in the auxiliary building next to it.
In the auxiliary buildings on both sides, there are eunuchs on one side and palace maids on the other. These people were only able to move in after being carefully selected by Cheetah and Jingzhe. Those who are not selected can only live in the side hall farther away than the auxiliary building.
In addition to some unique low trees and flower beds, there is a flat lawn on the ground that makes people want to roll around comfortably.
A bluestone road that is only for carriages to pass is the only main road, plus some warm stone paths. If you stand in the hanging garden of Daming Palace and take a closer look, you will find that those paths, flowers, plants and trees are actually a Li Hong's grand garden. Character.
Further behind the main hall is a garden with a pond. It is not as big as the Daming Palace, but it is enough for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's daily needs.
Li Lingyue looked at the lawn in front of her and began to smile happily. On the lawn of the Daming Palace, no matter whether it was the maid, the eunuch, or even the queen mother, she was not allowed to roll and play on it.
But now that she was in the imperial brother's east palace, she naturally let go of those restraints, showed her childish nature, and began to have fun on the lawn.
In the entire East Palace, even before Li Hong arrived at Jincheng, Wu Mei could not wait to order people to start tidying up and cleaning. Even the Li Zheng Palace, which she despised, was meticulously cleaned by the palace maids and eunuchs.
And all Wu Mei did was hoping that after Li Hong came back, she would not feel less popular when she checked in. Her thoughts were not ordinary thoughtful and meticulous.
In the splendid and elegant living room of Li Zhengdian, Li Lingyue started jumping around on the sofa regardless of the few green grass on her head. She was so unhappy.
From the moment she entered the East Palace, Yiyang looked left and right. She couldn't wait to take a look at every soldier in the East Palace.
Li Hong naturally knew what she was thinking and ignored him along the way. Now after sitting down, before he could speak, Yiyang's big eyes that seemed to be able to speak began to look at him.
"Don't look, I left Quan Yi in Shule, Anxi, and he didn't come back." Li Hong hugged Li Lingyue, who was jumping around, and said to Yiyang.
"You really haven't come back?" Yiyang had received a letter from Li Hong before and thought he was joking, so he always held a glimmer of hope in his heart.
After entering the east palace, she wanted to pick up every soldier to see if there was Quan Yi's figure inside. Unfortunately, the result made her very disappointed, and she still didn't see Quan Yi's shadow.
Seeing that Li Hong originally had a glimmer of hope, thinking that he would hide her, hoping to give her a surprise, but unexpectedly, Li Hong did give her a big surprise and really left her in Anxi.
"I really haven't come back. I have something important to do and I can't get away for the time being." Old God Li Hong was there and helped Li Lingyue pick up a few grass clippings on the top of his head and said.
"You heartless guy, what did I tell you? Are you so embarrassed to turn a deaf ear to my words? Did you mean it?" Yiyang looked at Li Hong with an expression that didn't look like he was lying to her, he was so aggressive His character was immediately revealed.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" Li Hong hugged the laughing Li Lingyue and began to avoid Yiyang's claws. This guy's hands were extremely strong now. If he pinched himself now, it would be like pinching his mother several times.
Gao An didn't show any weakness. Seeing Yiyang cry so much because of Li Hong, his lovesickness in the past few years has not been relieved. How can he bear this
So he grabbed Li Lingyue from Li Hong's arms, handed it to the palace maid next to him, and began to work together to defeat Li Hong.
Nowadays, not only Li Hong is older, but the two women are even older. They are really struggling with each other. It is impossible to ignore the defense between men and women as before.
But in Li Hong's heart, the two fierce women are really fighting against him this time. They don't care that his delicate body has fallen into Li Hong's arms. They want to defeat this great dictator anyway!
With hair in disarray and disheveled clothes, the two women were out of breath and were about to continue attacking Li Hong. Xia Zhi at the door came to the rescue in time for Li Hong, who was in the "Tender Country".
"His Royal Highness, Wang Mingyuan and Prince Belus of Persia are asking for an audience at the door." Xia Zhi said crisply.
"Stop, stop, stop, what a shame! Do you still have the etiquette of a royal princess? She looks like two crazy bitches!" Li Hong avoided Gao An's towering breasts, which almost hit his face.
Yiyang and Gao An glanced at Xia Zhi, who was smiling at the door, and glared fiercely. If you were waiting for me, I would deal with you if I had the chance. You would be too helpless for your master.
Bai Chun helped Li Hong tidy up his clothes, then took Li Lingyue's little hand and led Yiyang and Gao An to other rooms.
Li Hong was left with Xia Zhi and Xiaoxue, Banmei and Xunlan, who were left in the palace by Wu Mei. I don’t know why, but if Li Hong wanted to come, I’m afraid they would be punished, and maybe Wu Mei would be punished. Will Mei find an imperial doctor to check their stomachs
But no matter what, he believed that the queen would not act recklessly, not to mention that he had taken such good protective measures, and even told the queen in a subtle way.
While thinking, Xia Zhi's voice rang in my ears: "Your Highness, Wang Mingyuan and Belus have arrived at the reception room and are waiting for you."
"Well, okay, let's go and take a look."
Li Hong did not expect that after returning to Chang'an, the first people to find him would be Wang Mingyuan and Belus.
The East Palace has probably once again become the focus of everyone's attention besides the Daming Palace, so whoever comes to the East Palace for the first time will have a very different meaning.
As for Xue Rengui and Hei Te Changzhi, they have followed Li Hong for several years. Now they dare not say that they are direct relatives, but at least they will not stand against Li Hong in times of crisis.
Wang Mingyuan and Belus were already waiting in the palace in front of the main hall. When Li Hong arrived, he not only saw Wang Mingyuan and Belus, but also saw a Persian who was roughly the same age as him, Nar, the son of Belus. Hiye.
"Your Majesty, Mingyuan, Belusi, and Narshiye have met His Highness the Crown Prince." When the three of them saw Li Hong walking in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.
While waiting for Li Hong, the three of them did not dare to sit down on the comfortable chairs in the living room of the palace. Instead, they stood at the side of the door, waiting for Li Hong's arrival.
Li Hong glanced at Belus and Narsie, and then kept looking at Wang Mingyuan: "I just came back, and you are here, but what's important?"
"I don't dare. I didn't want to come to see His Highness today. It's really because of the Belus incident that I have to take the liberty to disturb you." Wang Mingyuan hurriedly bowed again and said respectfully.
Whether it was him or Belus, the two of them always remembered Li Hong's life-saving grace of running thousands of miles to rescue him.
Coupled with the fact that Belus's country was ruined and his family was ruined, and he was eager to restore the country, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot during the period when Li Hong did not come back.
Therefore, as soon as Li Hong returned to Chang'an, the two of them ran over without any scruples, and they also had legitimate reasons that they could tell, which was to repay His Highness the Crown Prince for saving his life.
