Chapter 21 Decisive Battle in the Imperial City (Part 2) - Threat and Blackmail (Part 1)
Long Ying secretly praised in his heart that Wu Zhao's move solved all the problems caused by Xue Huaiyi's death in Shendu in one fell swoop. His style was decisive and neat, and it was clear that she had everything under her control.
He took advantage of the opportunity to establish his authority. However, he was confused when she invited him to board the accompanying carriage.
Two royal guards jumped off their horses, and the carriage approached. The charioteer turned out to be a pretty girl, dressed in elegant clothes, with hidden eyes. Longying intuitively felt that she was an outstanding master in the palace, which also added a strange and mysterious color to the carriage.
The imperial guard opened the car door and saluted to invite Long Ying to board the car.
What else could Long Ying have to say, so he had to get on the bus. The curtains in the car covered the windows, and it was pitch black. A familiar aroma rushed into his face. He had already been grabbed hard by a slender hand, and pulled him down into the seat. His lower abdomen was also scratched.
The opponent struck hard.
The carriage drove out.
Longying bent over in pain and protested: "Do you want to buy someone's life? Don't forget that I just fought a fake monk for 300 rounds and was seriously injured."
Princess Taiping sat down next to him and said with itching teeth: "You damn brat, you deceived me so much, but you turned out to be a Taoist demon. If you didn't laugh to death for your mother, you are lucky for me." Then she reached out and came over.
Touching the arm guard inside his sleeve, he sneered: "I thought you were so powerful that you could kill a dead monk who was invulnerable with your bare hands. It turned out that you were doing this secretly."
Long Ying was full of heart. In the "dark room" of the carriage, next to him was the noble Princess Zhou. She was coquettish and free, allowing him to talk nonsense. The romantic and charming place looked like two different people compared to the bloody battle of life and death just now.
Tiandi took off the two arm guards smoothly, put them close to her ears, blew a breath of hot air into them, and said: "Princess, please send someone to return the arm guards to the fat father-in-law."
Princess Taiping said angrily: "It's so annoying! Where did you learn such despicable techniques? I won't touch the murder weapon just now, put it in the back seat, and I will take care of it."
Long Ying was so happy that he didn't expect to be able to tease her without being slapped today. He moved a little closer and pressed close to Xiang's body. At the same time, he distracted her and said: "The princess doesn't seem to have a good impression of fake monks."
Princess Taiping said solemnly: "His hands are stained with the blood of my Li Tang clan. I don't know how happy it would be for you to kill him. Otherwise, how could I let you, a pervert, take advantage of him?"
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "Fake pervert?"
Princess Taiping said sternly: "Are you really looking like you? The pretty palace lady was selected by Eunuch Rong from thousands of people. She was waiting for Master Ying to take a bath and get on the bed. However, Master Ying went to the watchtower to blow in the wind and get arrows. Here, he was talking about himself.
Traumatized, unsuitable for sexual pleasure between men and women, and a majestic duel with fake monks within a few hours. Is this called a pervert? Only when you see your big-headed devil is it true!"
Long Ying stretched out his hand around her from behind, gently held her waist, and put his head on the incense shoulder, sniffing the fragrance and body fragrance. He didn't know who he was in the world and sighed: "Princess, I don't know anything, please allow my guests to report it."
, I don’t know how hard it is for me to endure it. What I’m afraid of is that the princess will think that I’m in love with someone else, which will cause me to lose the opportunity to marry Princess Xiangze.”
Princess Taiping laughed so hard that she gasped and said: "You are a first-rate master in the battlefield, but a ninth-rate slut in love. You dare to mention the kiss to Xiangze again in front of this palace. I want to kill you when I think about it."
.”
Long Ying was confused and said, "What's wrong with that sentence?"
Princess Taiping said angrily: "What did you say at that time?"
Longying thought hard: "What did I say?"
Princess Taiping said angrily: "You know, you men, just to satisfy your own selfish interests, you talk nonsense and forget everything about it afterwards."
Long Ying scratched his head and said, "That night, I was kicked out by the princess before I could even swear an oath to each other. Which words did I forget that made the princess feel resentful?"
Princess Taiping stared at him blankly for a moment and said softly: "Longying, you are a very strange person. You can become arrogant and heroic, or you can be like a rogue in the market and talk nonsense. Is it because of the influence of a demon?
?”
Long Ying said: "Were you at Bafang Pavilion at that time?"
Princess Taiping muttered: "Except for the Holy Emperor and the fat father-in-law, all the important people in the palace are present, but they are just concealed! How can you see them? You only care about openly flirting and flirting with Duan Muling. Your name
All forgotten."
Long Ying said happily: "Princess was actually jealous of me. Was she so angry that she burst into tears afterwards?"
The princess said angrily: "Jealous, jealous! What's so strange? Which woman is not jealous? Take your hand away and get away. You don't know that your hands are full of blood, sweat and smell."
Long Ying hugged her tightly and said, "Where are we going to play?"
The carriage stopped.
The princess was still angry and said: "Don't you know how to roll down to see clearly?" She escaped from his clutches and got out of the car on her own, no longer paying attention to the dragon eagle chasing behind her.
The main hall of the palace is the Wanxiang Shrine. It is located in the center of the front. The original site was the Qianyang Hall of the Sui Dynasty, which was later burned down. Gaozong built the Qianyuan Hall on the original site, which was extremely luxurious. However, Wu Zhao was still not satisfied and ordered Xue Huaiyi to
The supervisor, regardless of the objections of the courtiers, razed the Qianyuan Palace to the ground, and worked tens of thousands of people every day. It took nine months to build the Mingtang, and then renamed it the Wanxiang Shrine. The palace's unique internal and external structure was the pinnacle of architectural art at that time.
This work fully reflects Wu Zhao's extraordinary courage and ambition.
The shrine is three stories high. The bottom floor is square, with each side decorated with different colors to symbolize the four seasons, with windows on all four sides. The middle floor is dodecagonal, enshrining the twelve zodiac animals, symbolizing the twelve hours. The upper floor is made of twenty-four prisms, symbolizing the two seasons.
Fourteen Solar Terms. The top of the circular hall is arched by nine cloud dragons, and the center is decorated with a golden phoenix standing proudly with its head raised and its front paws stretched out towards the end gate. This is Wu Zhao's ambition to seize the world.
The Wanxiang Shrine is 294 feet high and 300 feet wide on each side. It is majestic and majestic in all its forms.
Behind the shrine is the fifth level of heaven, which is a hundred feet higher than the shrine and houses a super-giant Buddha statue. Behind heaven is Zhenguan Hall, which is Wu Zhao’s main bedroom in the palace. To the west is Wucheng Hall, where Wu Zhao listened to politics and peace.
It is a hall where ministers are summoned. Nearby are the Zhongshu Provincial Department, the History Museum, the Ming and Women's Hospital, the Internal Medicine Bureau, and the Shangshichu, an important department that provides sleeping rooms.
The beauty troupe headed by Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong lived in the Jixian Palace to the west of the Zhenguan Palace. Further west, the Luocheng Palace was a holy place that the world's scholars eagerly awaited. Here Wu Zhao personally presided over the palace examinations, selected talents, and constructed a new rule.
The team made the politics of the Great Zhou Dynasty unprecedentedly stable.
Taoguang Garden, the palace of Princess Taiping, is located in the northeast of Zhenguan Hall. It is built across a river. The river is more than ten feet deep, where birds and fish swim. The river flows west into the sacred pond, where the Dragon Eagle Liqi Pavilion is located.
Although Taoguang Garden and Liqi Pavilion are actually quite far apart, according to the scale and standards of the palace city, they can be considered neighbors. The place where Longying got off last night was Taoguang Garden, which is famous for its beautiful scenery of rivers and forests. From this, it can be seen that Wu Zhao
My kindness to this youngest daughter.
Princess Taiping entered the palace directly, leaving the dragon eagle behind to be greeted by the eunuchs Gong'e. Until she was sent to the palace to sleep, let alone Princess Xiangze, there was no chance to catch a glimpse.
When he woke up early that morning, the sound of rain was pouring, and Tao Guangyuan in the heavy rain had a different feeling. The palace maid came to wake him up, washed and changed clothes, and served him attentively. When he thought he was "expelled" from Tao Guangyuan, Princess Taiping sent someone to invite him.
He went to Wanghexuan to have breakfast together.
The overjoyed Long Ying followed the eunuch to Wanghe Pavilion. Princess Taiping sat outside the pavilion without any makeup, staring at the river forest blurred by the heavy rain.
Long Ying sat on the side of the table filled with small dots and saw that she was silently sad, as if she had lost the interest in talking. He did not dare to offend her and just ate and drank.
Although she does not apply makeup and is depressed, Princess Taiping is still so bright and attractive. She has lost three points of her beauty and added a few points of elegance.
Princess Taiping finally spoke and said calmly: "Did you sleep well last night?"
Long Ying wanted to say how he could sleep well without the princess, but fortunately he knew that it was not appropriate to say such words in this atmosphere, so as not to add fuel to the fire, so he changed his words: "Princess Qi, I slept very well."
Princess Taiping's face was expressionless at first, and then she smiled brightly as if she couldn't help but laugh. She glanced at him, looked back at the rainy front, shook her head and said: "I pretended to be angry last night just to tease you, but later I received a
The news makes people feel bad, but I didn’t mean to neglect you."
Long Yingli was in a good mood. It turns out that this was the case, especially since she called herself a family member, which greatly brought the relationship between the two people closer, and asked: "What is the princess upset about?"
Princess Taiping seemed to have lost the strength to speak, sighed and did not answer him.
Long Ying stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of him, but what he was thinking about was "encountering" the extremely alluring Princess Zhou from the stone house in the deserted valley. He was always very eloquent towards her. Why is this happening? He knows his own business and meets the one he likes.
He seemed to have turned into another person, even facing the sanctimonious Duanmu Ling, and in front of the public. Could it be that he had never had the opportunity to interact with women before being escorted away from the hut, but he had seen it?
Quite often, everything can only be done in imagination, and they develop an unscrupulous style towards beautiful women. As for whether this is the case, only God knows.
Princess Taiping's voice came into her ears: "What are you thinking about?"
Long Ying's heart moved and he said: "The princess's current demeanor seems familiar to me. Can you let me guess what the princess is thinking? If I guess correctly, the princess will reward me with a kiss."
Princess Taiping smiled bitterly and said: "I really don't know if you are smart or a fool. How can I be in the mood to kiss you? Even if I guessed it for you, it was just perfunctory. Is there any fun for Master Ying? I was so tired thinking about it last night.
, I can’t get excited about everything now.”
Long Ying smiled and said, "Then let's kiss each other afterwards!"
Princess Taiping was surprised and said: "Can you really guess it?"
Long Ying probed: "It's either related to your Third Emperor Brother or to the Fourth Emperor Brother, right?"
Emperor Gaozong had eight sons, four of whom were born to Wu Zhao, and Wu Zhao arranged the four sons in their own order, so Li Xian and Li Dan, who were ranked last, became the third and fourth princes from the seventh and eighth princes.
.
Princess Taiping sat upright and looked at him with dazzling eyes.
Long Ying said: "This matter can be taken care of by me. I guarantee that it will be solved properly. Your mother will have no excuse to punish the princess's brother." (){Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com Thank you for your support, all book friends
