Liangchen smiled slightly and said: "Sister Tianxiang, I just thought of it. We should be able to arrive in Luoyang before dark. Then we will make a direct request to Mrs. Li, and it is estimated that Mrs. Li will naturally agree to us. In this way, this matter Isn’t it solved?”
Upon hearing this, Feiyun felt that Liangchen was right. Feiyun just wanted to tell Wu Zetian about the behavior of the Wu family and see how Wu Zetian would deal with her Wu family relatives. Feiyun immediately decided to adopt Liangchen's suggestion and go to Beijing first. If Wu Zetian doesn't agree, he will take everyone to Wanjia Village tomorrow.
After everyone finished eating, Feiyun led everyone to wait for Ximenshan and his party by the roadside. Feiyun felt that since they had already arrived at the outskirts of Luoyang, there was no need to divide them into two teams.
After a while, Ximenshan and others came escorting Li Xian's family. Seeing Feiyun and others standing on the roadside, Ximenshan hurriedly stepped forward and asked Feiyun what was going on. Feiyun told Ximenshan what he meant, and Ximenshan naturally had no objection.
Feiyun then walked behind with Tianxiang, Wang Hai and others, Ximenshan and others and Li Xian's family's carriage were in the middle, Wu Yuan and the guards were at the front, and the group headed for Luoyang.
More than an hour later, everyone arrived outside the south gate of Luoyang. Wu Yuan was about to lead the convoy directly into the city when he saw a group of people approaching. Wu Yuan took a closer look and saw that it was Liu Qiong, Jin Ding and his wife, as well as some palace guards.
Wu Yuan had already seen that Liu Qiong and Jin Ding had become Wu Zetian's bodyguards, and they were obviously ordered to welcome Li Xian. Wu Yuan immediately bowed his hands to Liu Qiong and Jin Ding and said, "Are you two here to pick up the prince?"
Liu Qiong returned the greeting and said, "Exactly. We, husband and wife, have been waiting here for a long time under the emperor's order. The emperor asked us to escort the prince back to the Luling Palace in the capital first, and then enter the palace tomorrow."
Seeing that the sun had set, Wu Yuan thought that Wu Zetian was worried that Li Xian would be tired from the long journey and wanted him to have a good night's rest. Wu Yuan didn't say anything, so he asked Liu Qiong and others to lead the way. Together they entered Luoyang and went straight to the Luling Palace.
After arriving at the palace, Wu Yuan asked Li Xian and his family to get off the carriage and escorted them into the palace. Feiyun, Ximenshan and others stood at the door, but did not follow them in.
Liu Qiong and Jin Ding walked up to Feiyun and others and said: "Senior Ximen, Brother Lin, the emperor wants Mr. Ximen and others to temporarily stay in Luling Palace, and she will come to express her gratitude in person tomorrow. The emperor invites Brother Feiyun and The three girls Tianxiang, Liangchen and Meijing will follow our husband and wife into the palace immediately, she wants to see you first!"
Feiyun looked at Ximen Shan and asked Ximen Shan and others to stay in the palace temporarily and talk about anything tomorrow. Ximen Shan nodded and led everyone into the palace.
Feiyun, Tianxiang, Liangchen, and beautiful scenery immediately followed Liu Qiong and his wife and went straight to the palace. Jin Ding originally thought that Feiyun might refuse Wu Zetian's invitation, but he did not expect that Feiyun would agree so readily. Jin Ding was confused, but he couldn't ask.
When Feiyun agreed to follow Liu Qiong and his wife into the palace, he naturally thought about Chu Yu and Mingliang. Even if Liu Qiong didn't say anything, he would take the initiative to ask to see Wu Zetian.
After a while, everyone came to the Xuanwu Gate of the palace. The guards guarding the gate saw that all four of Feiyun were carrying weapons and asked them to leave their weapons behind. Meimei was furious and firmly disagreed.
Jin Ding quickly advised Meimei not to be angry, saying that this was the rule of the palace. Then Jin Ding took out a jade plaque from his arms and told the guards that the emperor had authorized these four people to bring weapons to the audience. When the guards saw the jade plaque, they bowed and let him go quickly.
After a while, everyone saw Wu Zetian in the side hall of the palace. The four people in Feiyun took a look and saw that Wu Zetian was now wearing a dragon robe, very majestic, and very different from the previous Wu Zetian. Shangguan Wan'er, Furong, Ruyi and Jixiang stood on both sides.
The four Feiyuns stepped forward, bowed to Wu Zetian, and said in unison: "I have met His Majesty the Emperor!"
Shangguan Wan'er said displeasedly: "Young Master Lin, the emperor paid a private visit incognito before, so he didn't ask you to kneel down and bow down. This is the palace, and you should behave like a king and a minister!"
Feiyun's face darkened, and just as he was about to reply, Wu Zetian quickly waved his hand and said: "Young Master Lin, I once said that you are my friends and you should not behave like a monarch or a minister. Wan'er doesn't know this, so don't blame her. Four of you , please sit down and talk!”
Seeing Wu Zetian's pleasant expression and her tone being the same as before, Feiyun and the others didn't feel like saying anything more, so they thanked Wu Zetian and sat down.
Tianxiang immediately said: "Your Majesty, we have sent King Luling to the capital safely. I wonder if you have summoned us here. What's the matter?"
Wu Zetian smiled slightly and said, "I came to see you. First of all, I want to thank you in person." After saying that, she stood up and bowed to the four Feiyun people. Feiyun and others had no choice but to stand up and return the courtesy, not even saying they dared.
Wu Zetian asked Feiyun and the four of them to sit down, and then said: "This time you have worked tirelessly and made great achievements. I want to reward you heavily, but I don't know what kind of reward you want? What do you want? It can be seen that you are outspoken!"
Liangchen smiled and asked: "Your Majesty, this is what you said, you can't go back on it!"
Wu Zetian glanced at Liangchen and said with a smile: "Girl, I know you like to eat all kinds of delicacies. I once promised you that I would let you taste all kinds of delicacies in the capital. Tomorrow I will let Fu Rong take you to various restaurants in the capital. Tasting in the restaurant. However, this is not a reward, it is our agreement. You can make other requests!"
Liangchen said immediately: "Your Majesty, we don't want any other rewards from you, we want an imperial edict from you!"
Wu Zetian was slightly startled, and then asked what Liangchen meant. Liangchen told Wu Hong about bullying Meiliang, and asked Wu Zetian to give Wu Sansi an order to prevent Wu Hong from bullying men and women.
Wu Zetian was naturally very unhappy after hearing this. She immediately promised Liangchen that she would definitely punish Wu Sansi and Wu Hong. Wu Zetian then asked Feiyun and Tianxiang if they had any other requests.
Feiyun and Tianxiang shook their heads together, saying that since Wu Zetian agreed to issue an order to stop Wu Hong from bullying Mingliang, he had given them the greatest reward, and no other rewards were needed.
Wu Zetian knew Feiyun's personality and did not force it. She just said that it was really hard for Feiyun and others to first escort her and then protect Li Xian.
Wu Zetian asked Feiyun and the others to stay temporarily in the Luling Palace. In a few days, she would ask Feiyun and the others for help when she had something that concerned countless people. But these days, Feiyun and others can take a good rest. Feiyun saw her serious expression and knew something important was going on, so he agreed to her.
Afterwards, Feiyun and others said goodbye to Wu Zetian. Accompanied by Liu Qiong and Jin Ding, they returned to the Luling Palace. Wu Yuan and his guards had taken over the security of the palace, and Ximen Shan and others had also settled down. When Wu Yuan saw Feiyun and others coming back, he hurriedly settled them in person.
Early the next morning, Feiyun and Tianxiang accompanied them to visit Luoyang due to the good time and beautiful scenery. Feiyun and Tianxiang had never been to the capital, so they naturally knew what they meant by good times and beautiful scenery, so they agreed.
The four Feiyun people said something to Ximen Mountain and came to the street. The four of them were walking and shopping. Luoyang is the capital city, so it is naturally very prosperous and lively. Feiyun and others were dazzled for a moment and couldn't bear to leave.
Soon it was almost noon, and the four of Feiyun passed by a singing and dancing restaurant called Wu Mei. When I arrived at the door, I heard the orchestra playing in unison and the singing singing melodiously. It was very lively.
Liu Shui and others walked in, but saw a beautiful and gorgeously dressed young girl singing a beautiful piece of music on the opposite stage, and several equally young and beautiful girls were dancing beside her. More than a dozen tables under the stage were already full. Liu Shui looked around, trying to find a place to sit. He knew nothing about music, but he just thought Hongying would like it.
At this moment, a girl came over and said to Liu Shui: "Liu Shaoxia, there are no empty seats in the audience. Miss Shuishui has told you that you are our honored guest here. If you come to enjoy our singing and dancing, please follow me upstairs." Take a seat in the private seats." Liu Shui looked at the girl but didn't recognize her. She was probably a new maid, so he said, "What do you call me? How do you know me? There is no need for the private seats. Just find an empty seat under the stage. "
The girl said: "My maid's name is Ru Ge, and I serve the young lady together with Ru Shi. Someone told me as soon as the young knight entered the door. Please call me by my name, young knight, and don't call me a girl. I don't dare to call you a girl." Liu Shui smiled and said: "What's wrong with this? I guess your lady won't mind." Ru Ge glanced at the audience and said, "This has nothing to do with the lady. Please follow me, over there There is a regular customer who occupies a table by himself. I’ll go talk to him and you should have no problem sitting with him.”
Liu Shui said: "Then there is Miss Lao Ruge!" Ru Ge turned around and walked forward, Liu Shui and others followed slowly. They were approaching the table when they suddenly heard someone shouting loudly at the door: "My young master wants to book the table, and the rest of the crowd should leave immediately!" The voice was so loud that it suppressed all the sounds in the hall. Obviously this person is a martial arts practitioner and is full of energy.
Upon hearing this, Liu Shui, Hongying and others stopped in unison and looked towards the door. I saw eight burly men entering the door. They all wore single swords and dressed up, and they walked in surrounded by a young master. The young man had thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was tall and tall. He was dressed in brocade clothes, with a sword on his waist and a folding fan in his hand. He looked somewhat dashing. The young man glanced into the lobby, frowned, and looked extremely unhappy. When a man next to him saw it, he hurriedly yelled: "Did you hear that? If you don't go away, don't blame me for being rude!"
As soon as he shouted, the people in the hall suddenly became silent and looked towards the door. Several girls on the stage were so frightened that they stopped singing and dancing and looked at the group of people in horror. Ru Ge's face darkened, and he walked over and asked, "Who are you? Why are you making trouble here?" A man said, "Who are you? What does it have to do with you? Call the person in charge here to come out!" Ru Ge Yi Humph, he said coldly: "Just tell me if you have anything to do. There's no need to yell like this." The man was stunned for a moment, said "Oh" and said: "I just said it, my young master We need to secure this place. Tell the people here to leave quickly, before the big men start chasing them away!"
