Although Renzhiyuan belongs to Da Nei, its direction is still biased. Once you pass the Guiyi Gate, the lively and festive atmosphere of the real imperial palace is coming to your face.

Now that time is approaching Yin, the sky is still dark, but there are lights and lights in the interior, and the lights are stubbornly driving away the darkness and supporting a bright space.

The palace envoy was in front and the palace servants were behind. The imperial guards were divided on the left and right. The three kings were sandwiched in the middle. They just lowered their heads and walked silently, not daring to look around or whisper.

In this way, Li Tong turned around and walked forward in the cold wind. He felt sweaty and dark, and after turning a palace, his eyes suddenly became clear, and the towering and huge building in Mingtang was already standing not far away.

With such a huge size, it gives people a sense of breathless pressure. Before, it could only be seen from a distance, and it was already quite spectacular. Now, it stands close to the side, and the feeling of insignificance is really unstoppable to be squeezed out from the bottom of the heart.

"This, this divine palace is really tall!"

Li Shouli also looked up and murmured and exclaimed.

"Please go forward to this and enter the corridor hall first."

When they arrived here, another group of palace servants were guided by them. The three of them quickly withdrew their gaze and followed them obediently up the steps behind them, heading straight towards the corridor.

There were bright lights around the Mingtang and there were many people, but the scene was not chaotic, either moving in a hurry or standing on one side, with few people talking and noisy, and no figure running around.

Li Shouli was halfway through the steps, and his steps were already a little weak. He looked back and saw that the figures of the same level had gradually become smaller and smaller, and even lost their steps and bumped into Li Tong. As for Li Guangshun on the other side, he was not much better. His lips were tightly pursed and his face turned slightly white.

Feeling the different degrees of nervousness of the two brothers, Li Tong couldn't help but sigh. He also watched the Mingtang complete in the forbidden area. Now that he approached, he was amazed, but he still felt that his grandmother, a prodigal girl, was really capable of creating it. As for the awe of him, there was no.

After all, no matter how grand Mingtang is, the times are limited to here, and he has never seen any magnificent buildings and pictures before.

But it has to be said that climbing the Mingtang and looking around, growing and looking down on the smallness, for some people who are not very at ease, it can indeed breed some illusion of controlling everything. No wonder ancient emperors were keen on building. A thought arises and all things gather here, and that sense of accomplishment is truly unparalleled.

However, what they entered now was the annex buildings around the Mingtang and the hall on the side of the corridor. Including the people who followed, the sun was only held in the hall of the Vientiane God Palace. If Li Tong wanted to enter the real Mingtang main hall, he still had to continue his efforts.

The corridor is lined with four sides of the Mingtang. After Li Tong climbed up, his biggest feeling was that the heights were cold, unlike in the world. It is already the cold winter of the New Year, and the corridor stands at a high place and is less obstructed, especially when it is transparent inside. The wind blows through the hall so much that it makes people feel cold!

At this time, there were already many people standing in the corridor hall. There were many soldiers standing in the outer railings, and there were many ice and frost on the armor. In the corridor hall, there were teams of palace men standing in clusters, and many servants were busy moving and carrying objects.

When the palace official who was responsible for guiding came here, hesitated and slowed down, as if he didn't know where to lead the three kings.

"I wonder if Master Xue can enter the palace? Please lead us to see you."

Li Tong stomped his feet, which were slightly numb by the cold wind, and said with a trembling teeth.

The palace official turned his head and smiled, just as he spoke a few words of apology, Xue Huaiyi's heartfelt laughter sounded on the other side: "It turns out that the king and others have already entered here, and I'm just about to send someone to ask."

As he spoke, Xue Huaiyi was already coming, still wearing a thick felt hat on his head, a marten tail on his bottom, and a fur coat wrapped in a fur coat. Instead, the iconic and colorful monk's coat could not be seen.

He came from more than 20 or 30 people in a turbulent manner. As soon as they approached each other, Li Tong felt much warmer and could block the wind by the walls of man.

"Without Master Xue's guidance, my brother is like a wild quail, and hesitating without hope."

Li Tong also strided forward, and his two brothers greeted Xue Huaiyi together.

Xue Huaiyi's face turned red. I don't know if it was cold or when people were in good health, so he pulled Li Tong to his side, looked around the people around him, and shouted: "You have come to see the young king, especially the King of Yong'an, who will be together with me. In the future, you should not be rude when you meet him!"

Everyone came forward to greet him, and Li Tong nodded to greet him. These people include eunuchs, palace officials, and ministers from the outside court, especially a few of them were wearing armor and seemed to be guarding generals.

Xue Huaiyi has indeed been lucky recently, especially in Mingtang's reward the day before yesterday. Therefore, his merit of supervising construction was officially awarded the title of Duke of Liang and General of the Left Wei Guard. He is no longer just the embarrassing White Horse Temple Lord with an embarrassing status.

In the deputy hall of Mingtang he was supervising, he felt even more proud of being almost masterful, and casually talked about some deeds related to Mingtang and received a lot of praise.

Then he pulled Li Tong up and said, "It's really cold here, and it's still early. The outsiders will only enter the palace in the middle of Mao. Please follow me and wait in the warm room."

As he spoke, he took a step forward. Li Tong and others followed him around the corridor and walked inside. Then they saw a row of inconspicuous huts behind the hall. Following Xue Huaiyi's explanation, Li Tong also knew that this place was a place where the middle-level official and the foreign ministers entered the palace to stay.

Xue Huaiyi led the three kings into one of the houses and lifted the curtains. A warm wind blew in his face, but there was no breath of fireworks. It seemed that there should be arrangements like fire walls and earth dragons.

"Wang Wang and I will stay here for a short time. I am plagued by chores and can't accompany you for a long time. I will wait until I go to the palace to enter and kowtow. I will guide you to wait."

When Xue Huaiyi introduced the three kings into the room, he paused his feet and then said again.

"Master Xue is at your own risk, my brother is here to wait."

Li Tong and the other three hurriedly went out again and saw Xue Huaiyi away together.

Not to mention anything else, Li Tong is really grateful for Xue Huaiyi's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness. In such a completely unfamiliar occasion, there is no one who is familiar with him around him, and he is also a little embarrassed in his heart.

Xue Huaiyi was treated like a fish in water, and the stars were lying on the moon. It was rare to remember to arrange the three of them to stop. Li Tong also secretly remembered what he said about righteousness.

Just after seeing Xue Huaiyi off, Li Tong was about to return to the warm pavilion with his second brother. When he turned around, another beautiful figure came into his eyes on the other side of the corridor.

Shangguan Wan'er walked quickly, following two female historians behind her. She had just turned around and saw the King of Yong'an in an elegant dress standing in front of the door of the warm cabinet. His pupils shrank slightly and his body was stiff.

Seeing Shangguan Wan'er's shocked look, Li Tong couldn't help but smile and looked up and down.

Today, he has elegant clothes, and Shangguan Wan'er opposite is not inferior. He has a gorgeous palace skirt, a colorful half-arm with colorful feathers hanging between his elbows, a tassel tassel tied to his chest, the pink is clear, the blush is light, and the red plum blossoms are attached to the eyebrows. The kingfisher's feather-shaped steps are pecked from the side and back into the snail bun made of black hair, and the whole person looks dignified and beautiful, which is very different from the previous beauty.

When Li Tong saw Wei Tuaner earlier, he secretly felt that the other party was beautiful or better than Shangguan Wan'er. But when he saw Shangguan Wan'er's outfit with different styles today, he felt that there was no limit to his beauty. But he was only just appreciating, and there was no unrealistic imagination from this.

After Shangguan Wan'er was a little out of control, she raised her white wrist, as if she was about to make a gesture. After turning her bright eyes, she blinked at the King of Yong'an in a slight way, and then hurriedly walked past with two female historians without any trouble.

Li Tong stood outside the door for a moment, then lowered his head and returned to the room. He wanted to stand outside to see if he could see any famous ministers, but he still should not act too free. Besides, even if he remembered someone's name, he knew nothing about it, so he gave up this idea.

The warm room is very simple, but the space is quite large, and there are all kinds of screens, such as a few couches and other screens.

In addition to the three kings, there were several eunuchs standing respectfully in the room. Li Tong also discovered an interesting phenomenon, such as the daily proportion of eunuchs they saw in Renzhiyuan or Neiwen Academy, and the daily proportion of eunuchs they saw was not high.

However, when we arrived at Mingtang, the proportion of eunuchs increased several times. Although there were also palace maids, the scope of activities was also limited. Most of the eunuchs who were sent to the scene and were sent to travel back and forth.

An eunuch went forward and said respectfully: "I wonder if the king needs to pass on food and food? But there are rules in the inner wings, and the colors are monotonous. I hope the king will not be punished."

He was in the side wing of the Mingtang, and the ceremony was about to be held, and the few people really had no idea of ​​eating and drinking. However, when he heard the eunuch ask, Li Tong, who was pouring cold wind all the way, became greedy for his Hu La tea, and said, "If there is tea, you can deliver it. If there is no, then there is no need to worry."

The eunuch retreated, and two other eunuchs stood by the door.

The three of them sat in the room. Li Guangshun just lowered his head and listened silently to the movement coming from outside. Li Tong was bored and looked at the layout in the room. The house was very empty, and some places were exposed in the original color of wooden beams, and there was no time to paint it. This shows that his grandmother Wu Zetian insisted on opening the Mingtang for the New Year, and the details were still a little hurry.

In addition, there is also a white porcelain basin mountain that is several feet long and wide, and the lights are flowing brightly under the lights of the room.

A relatively obvious laughter suddenly sounded outside the room, from far to near, and soon the curtain was lifted up, and several figures appeared in front of the door, and a middle-aged man in purple robe stood among them.

Li Tong and the other three in the room were standing up quickly, and when the few people outside the door saw them, their faces also showed surprise and suspicion. Especially the middle-aged man in purple robe, his face suddenly darkened. He looked at Li Tong and the other two deeply, looked at the eunuchs in the room, and his tone even showed bad words: "What's going on?"
