Feiyun believes that without Di Renjie's assistance, Wu Zetian may not be able to remain the queen safely for such a long time! The Li Tang royal family had long since restored the world, but now the situation is still chaotic. Feiyun just couldn't bring it up in front of Li Xian, so he remained silent.
Li Xian and Princess Wei saw that Feiyun seemed not very interested, so they said no more. The two just asked Feiyun not to leave the capital for the time being until the overall situation was decided. Feiyun had no choice but to agree. Duan Qing and Hongjun had left the trading company, and Feiyun had to temporarily stay in the Luling Palace.
A few days later, Wu Yuan came to the Luling Palace with a group of guards. Wu Yuan entered the hall and met Princess Wei. Princess Wei asked in surprise: "Commander Wu, if you are not waiting by the Emperor's side, why are you here?"
Wu Yuan knelt down to pay homage, and then said to Princess Wei: "Congratulations on your humble position, Princess. The Emperor has officially appointed His Highness as the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is worried about the Empress, so he sent a special minister to pick up the Princess and move into the East Palace."
Liangchen asked from the side: "Master Wu, since the prince is already the prince, does the princess become the princess?"
Wu Yuan was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Miss Liangchen, the prince has many things to do right now, so he won't talk about it for the time being. In my opinion, the princess will naturally become the crown prince."
Princess Wei knew that Liangchen was thinking about herself, but she knew very well that Li Xian must have a lot to do now and had no time to deal with family affairs. Princess Wei said to Liangchen: "Liangchen, the prince has just been established, so there is no time to care about these unimportant matters. As for the title, I never care, you know. Since he ordered us to clean up, we will go in immediately Live in the East Palace. Young Master Lin and Senior Ximen, what do you think?"
Feiyun was a little hesitant. He felt that there were too many rules in the palace, and he didn't really want to live in the East Palace. But he couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he didn't answer for a while. When the princess saw this, she thought he hadn't heard and asked again. Feiyun was helpless and didn't want to hide it, so he told Princess Wei what he meant.
Ximen Shan actually didn't want to go to the palace, so he also said that his family were ordinary people and it was really inconvenient to enter the palace. Princess Wei also understood Feiyun very well, so she said: "Young Master Lin, you have been in the world for a long time, and it is difficult for you to adapt to the life in the palace for a while. I understand that. If this is the case, you can continue to live here and don't have to follow me into the palace. But you must often Come and visit me and talk to me. Senior Ximen, you don’t have to worry about your identity, just follow me."
After hearing this, Feiyun hurriedly thanked the princess. But he was worried about the princess's safety, so he tried his best to persuade Ximen Shan. Ximenshan was entrusted by Zhang Jianzhi to protect Li Xian's family. Now that Li Xian had just been established as the crown prince, Wu Sansi would definitely be dissatisfied and might have murderous intentions.
Li Xian was in the palace, and Wu Sansi certainly couldn't do anything. But the princess and Li Xian's children were still outside the palace, and Wu Sansi might send someone to attack them. Ximen Shan nodded in agreement when he thought of this.
Wu Yuan originally thought that Feiyun would definitely follow him into the palace, so that the palace would be safer. Seeing that Feiyun didn't want to enter the palace, he hurriedly told him that Li Xian also wanted Feiyun and others to enter the palace and continue to protect their family. Wu Yuan also said that this was also what the Queen meant, and asked Feiyun not to shirk it.
Seeing that Feiyun was in a dilemma, Liangchen said, "Brother, let's escort the princess and her family into the palace first. Then let Senior Ximen and Junior Uncle Luo Chuan take Brother Tianying, Second Brother Feiying and Third Sister Feixiang to stay. In the palace, we will protect the prince's family. With them in the East Palace, we can rest assured. What's more, there are Shaoxia Xu Zhitang, Miss Xing'er, Shaoxia Luo Sitang and Mr. and Mrs. Liu Qiong in the palace. I believe that the prince's family will not be in any danger! "
Last time, Lian'er was recovered at a good time, and Liu Qiong and his wife also came back, but they had not yet gone to the palace to work on errands. Jin Ding said: "On a good day, there are so many masters in the palace, so there is no need for us and my wife to live in the palace. After a while, we still want to visit our hometown."
Lian'er also said that after Princess Yanmei's injury recovers in a few days, she will still have to go home and will need Liu Qiongfu to escort her. She knew that Jin Ding didn't like living in the palace either, and felt that it was too restrictive and inconvenient. Li Yu also said that he did not want to enter the palace.
Liangchen had no choice but to let Lin Feng, Qingxiang, Xiang'er, Ma Xiang, Liu Shui and others enter the palace. Feiyun also tried his best to persuade, and the four of them had no choice but to agree for Feiyun's sake.
Feiyun was overjoyed, thinking that Lin Feng, Ma Xiang, Qingxiang, Xiang'er and others, plus Ximen's family, could indeed protect Li Xian's family. Feiyun immediately agreed with Liangchen's arrangement, and Princess Wei had no objection. So Princess Wei ordered her to pack her bags. After a while, everyone gathered around Princess Wei and her children and left the Luling Palace and went straight to the palace.
The Luling Palace soon became quiet and only Feiyun, Tianxiang, Liangchen, Meili, and Lian'er and Liu Qiong were left. Of course, the princess left some servants and maids behind to take care of Feiyun and others and protect the palace.
Wu Yuan led the guards to clear the way in front, while Liu Shui, Ximen Shan and others guarded the princess's carriage and followed closely behind. Soon, everyone entered the East Palace. The maids and eunuchs inside hurriedly welcomed the princess and others in. The palace is luxurious and spacious, and there are several beautiful gardens. Princess Wei was extremely satisfied and asked Princess Guoer to take the maids to sort it out.
After a while, Li Xian came over to meet the princess. The princess hurriedly knelt down to pay her respects and congratulate Li Xian. Although Liu Shui, Ximen Shan and others were unwilling to bow down, after all, Li Xian was already the prince, so they had no choice but to bow down. Li Xian hurriedly asked everyone to stand down without courtesy and sit down to talk.
Li Xian saw that Feiyun was not there and quickly asked what was going on. The princess then thought that Feiyun did not want to enter the palace and was still in the palace. Li Xian knew Feiyun's temper, so he didn't say anything. Feiyun didn't listen to Wu Zetian's words, let alone him, the newly crowned prince.
The princess then said: "The prince has just been appointed, and there should be many military and national affairs to deal with. Why do you have time to come here?"
Li Xian stared at Princess Wei affectionately and said, "You have just entered the palace. I was afraid that you would feel strange, so I came to talk to you. I didn't see you, so I was really worried."
The princess sighed and said, "If it hadn't been for the help of Shui'er's friends, I guess someone would have attacked us on the road. For these people, I will ask the prince to reward them heavily in the future."
Li Xian nodded and said: "This is natural. Without you this time, I may not be able to successfully become the prince, and maybe my life will be difficult to save. For the deceased, I will definitely posthumous titles in the future and treat their families favorably. "
Li Xian turned to Ximen Shan and said: "Senior Ximen, your family is doing your best to protect our family. I want to make you the commander of the East Palace, specifically responsible for the safety of the East Palace. Of course, Luo Chuan, Lin Feng, Ma Xiang, and Liu Shui are deputy commanders. I’ll do my best to assist you. What do you think?”
Ximen Shan was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Xian would let him become such a high official. He hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I am just a careless person. Besides, I am old and frail and cannot afford such a heavy responsibility. But for the safety of the East Palace, I will I think it is better to let Luo Chuan serve as the commander of the East Palace Guards. Lin Feng and the other two are highly skilled in martial arts and loyal to the prince. They are also Feiyun's friends and deserve the title of deputy commander. I only hope that the prince can practice more benevolent governance after he ascends the throne. If I care for the people of the world, I will be satisfied."
When Li Xian saw Ximenshan's refusal, he was immediately unhappy. Princess Wei hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Senior Ximen is not an outsider. Since he recommended Luo Chuan, we will follow his advice. However, Senior Ximen, you must continue to assist Commander Luo. You are his master after all."
Ximen Shan immediately agreed and said that he would help everyone protect the East Palace. Li Xian also told everyone that he had just been established as the prince, and some people would definitely be unconvinced and would inevitably engage in some conspiracies, so he asked everyone to be more careful. Li Xian sent someone to Feiyun to enter the palace again, hoping to explain something to him.
The princess knew that Feiyun did not want to become an official in the court, and was worried that he would offend Li Xian. She hurriedly said that if anything happened, she could ask Liu Shui to tell him that there was no need to recruit him into the palace. When Li Xian heard this, he felt that the princess was right. Of course, he also knew that the princess was interceding for Feiyun tactfully. Besides, Liu Shui and Yanmei were engaged, so they naturally had to go out of the palace to visit them frequently.
Li Xian sighed and said, "It's just that I have wronged Young Master Lin."
Liu Shui immediately said: "Your Highness, don't worry about this. Brother Lin will definitely not care. The princess also said just now that although Brother Lin does not want to be an official, the prince has something to do, but please tell me, I will tell him truthfully."
Of course, Li Xian hopes that Feiyun can stay in the palace. With Feiyun's martial arts, his safety can be guaranteed. But seeing that Feiyun seemed to have made up his mind, he had no choice but to say, "In that case, it's up to him."
Li Xian turned to the princess and asked: "What important matter do you have? I've issued an order. Do you need Feiyun to go out of the capital to do it?"
The princess shook her head and said: "This matter is not urgent. Let's talk about it later."
Li Xian did not ask any further questions, and instead turned to Feixiang and others and said, "Everyone, you have all made great contributions, and I will keep them in my heart. But you are all girls, and it is not convenient for you to be an official. However, you are all girls with strong martial arts skills. Just serve as a female guard in the East Palace. In addition, girls Qingxiang and Xiang'er, if you don't mind, I will preside over your wedding to Vice Commander Lin Feng, how about it?"
Qingxiang and Xiang'er immediately blushed at Li Xian's words. After a while, Lin Feng stepped forward to thank him and said, "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince. However, we should discuss the important matter of marriage later. I'm afraid I don't have the time to think about it now."
Li Xian laughed several times and said: "In that case, wait for a while before you get married. However, after the wedding, you and your wife will continue to serve in the East Palace, and I can't afford to have a deputy commander by my side." Lin Feng heard this. Yes, I hurriedly came forward to say thank you with Qingxiang and Xiang'er.
Li Xian then said to Liu Shui: "Liu Shaoxia, you will go to the palace later and tell Liu Qiong and his wife that the emperor has agreed with me to let them serve in the East Palace as deputy commanders of the guards. Please ask them to come immediately. What do you think?"
The princess hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this matter is important. Liu Qiong and his wife are planning to go back to their hometown. I think it is better to wait until they come back." Li Xian asked Liu Shui to tell Feiyun and Liu Qiong later, and of course he was not embarrassed. They said they were waiting for them to come back.
Liu Shui obeyed the order and hurriedly left the East Palace and returned to the Luling Palace. He conveyed Li Xian's intention to Feiyun and others, and went to Wu Qiong's house to visit Princess Yanmei.
Early the next morning, Feiyun came to the courtyard and saw Tianxiang already dancing his sword in the courtyard. On a whim, Feiyun pulled out his folding fan, jumped up, and attacked her sneakily. Tianxiang had already noticed it and waved his sword to greet him.
Hearing a clang sound and the clash of fans and swords, Tianxiang was so shocked that he took several steps back, staggering as if he could not stand firmly. Feiyun was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her, and asked with concern: "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Tianxiang suddenly waved her hand and lightly slapped Feiyun, then giggled and said, "It seems you are easily deceived!"
Feiyun was unprepared and was hit by Tianxiang's palm, but it had no force and was just a touch. Feiyun smiled and said: "Of course others can't deceive me, but I can't do anything about you. Who makes me willing to be deceived by you?" Feiyun was still worried about Tianxiang's health after all, so he still supported her by the side. Sit down on the stool.
Hongying did not refuse. She leaned on Liu Shui's shoulder and said softly: "Although I was pretending just now, I feel that your skill has become stronger than before. In a few days, I may really be unable to resist you. "Liu Shui hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry Ying'er, there is nothing important now. We can practice more hard. I believe that your and aunt's skills will be greatly improved!" Hongying was overjoyed and said: "Don't lie. I must keep my word!"
Liu Shui raised his palm and was about to swear to God, but was stopped by Hongying. Hongying said: "Of course I believe you, you don't have to swear at every turn." Liu Shui smiled and said: "Now that my aunt has entered the palace, I would like to ask Aunt Xiang to move to the Zhang family's old house and live with us. What do you think?" Hongying naturally wanted it and had no objection, but Liu Shui was worried about Hanxiang's refusal. Hongying immediately said that it was up to her to convince Hanxiang. After Hongying finished speaking, she immediately stood up and went to find Hanxiang.
After a while, Hongying and Hanxiang came over together. Hongying said to Liu Shui: "Auntie has already agreed. Chuntao and the others will go pack their things and we can leave for Jianou later." Liu Shui was overjoyed and said repeatedly: "This is the best, this is the best!" Hanxiang smiled slightly, Said: "Of course you are satisfied, there is no need to run back and forth, it saves trouble." Liu Shui was a little embarrassed and defended: "Auntie misunderstood, I am happy because I can listen to your teachings at any time in the future!" Hanxiang knew that he was trying to please. I felt very comfortable in my heart, so I didn't say anything more.
Not long after, Chuntao came over and said that everything was packed and put on the carriage. Hanxiang nodded, came to the hall, and told shopkeeper Zhou a few words. Hanxiang was worried that Shopkeeper Zhou would be working too hard on his own, so he left Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue to help him. Liu Shui, Hongying and Hanxiang brought Chuntao and Chunyu to the Zhang family's old house. Good times and beautiful scenery came out to greet them and helped them settle down.
Time flies, and a few days have passed quickly. Early that morning, Yun Duo hurriedly came to find Liu Shui. When Liu Shui heard about Yun Duo's sudden arrival, he thought something had happened to Liu E and hurriedly came out to ask. Only then did we know that under Liu E's persuasion, Zhao Yuankan had gone to see Empress Li as Liangchen had wished.
