Chapter 66 Traffic jam

On the sixth day of the sixth month, the Empress Dowager's birthday has arrived.

The streets and alleys are decorated with lights, dragons, lions, floats, and boats are all playing the sound of silk and bamboo. The scene is prosperous inside and outside of Bianjing.

The emperor pardoned the world so that those who had not committed serious crimes could return home to serve their parents. Cao Hua took this opportunity to release a group of people, and even put on the look of a villain, and said coldly: "You are lucky, and you will fall into my hands next time... Humph..."

The prisoner who saw the light of the sky again did not dare to scold him. He walked out of the Diankuisi Hall of Hell as if he had reborn. Li Jing, who resigned from the official position, probably would never dare to approach the court in this life.

On the birthday, all officials gave a day off, and the generals and ministers of high rank were able to attend the banquet in the palace. However, the empress dowager was old and did not show up. She only held a banquet in the harem to receive royal relatives and some favored ministers.

As mentioned in the previous article, Cao Hua's position is an internal official, that is, a slave of the emperor, and he is not qualified to gather with the court officials.

But on such an important day on the birthday of the Empress Dowager, as the emperor, he had to go to the emperor's house, so he could only go to the harem with his relatives, including the prince's prince, the prince's daughter, the prince's son and the prince's wife, and other relatives of the official family.

Before dawn, Cao Hua burned incense and took a bath in the Marquis's mansion, and cleaned it up in a large bathtub.

Yutang and Luzhu stood carefully in the house holding the tray, not daring to raise their eyes, and stood with red faces. There were red eunuch robes, whisks, and soft hats on the tray...

When Cao Hua saw this outfit, he stood in the room and was stunned for a long time: "Let me dress up as a eunuch and go in?"

Yutang was stunned for a moment, not daring to look up, and whispered: "Young Master, this was the case before."

A man wants to enter the harem, but he is not a royal family member. What else can he be except eunuchs?

Cao Hua's scalp was numb. When he remembered that he was wearing a eunuch's robe and holding a whisk in his hand, he felt goosebumps all over his body.

Really become the West Factory?

Although he was unhappy, he could not fight against the official family. Cao Hua thought a little, so he could only put on the gorgeously decorated robe in his wardrobe.

Human face, peach blossom, Cao Diao Temple!

Yutang looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and did not forget to comfort him: "Young master, you are actually quite handsome."

"Is that true?"

Cao Hua stood in front of the bronze mirror with a whisk in his hand and turned around twice, with goosebumps on his body.

Fortunately, after a moment, Han'er ran in from outside and bowed and said, "Young Master, the adoptive father has sent a message to you to enter the palace in the marquis uniform."

Cao Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly took off the eunuch's robe and threw it aside, changed into the silver martial arts uniform given by the emperor, hung a snow-white sword on his waist, and boarded the carved chariot.

There is no way to ride a horse in the palace. Some princes and generals who are not in good health will be given a chariot by the emperor and are carried by others to walk in the palace. This is a very favorable honor. There are not many civil and military officials in the court, but Cao Hua has it, which shows how deeply the emperor Zhao Jie favors this confidant.

Two hundred Black Feather Guards opened the way, and all officials and people along the way were avoided. Even a few princes and first-rank officials were voluntarily leaning aside when they hit him. Only a few princes and first-rank officials could stop and give him attention.

Cao Hua may have heard of these big names, but he did not recognize any of the real people, so he could only look cold and occasionally glance at this and that one.

The person who was so scared that he ignored it, and his face changed slightly, nodded and showed up. If the other party frowned slightly, he would have to greet him with a smile.

As for those who fainted from fear, they could only say sorry in their hearts, after all, he didn't do it on purpose.

Not to mention, this method works very well. There was nothing along the way, so I scared the two girls to death. I don’t know if it was the little princess from that place.

I thought I could go to the palace city to go smoothly, but when I arrived outside Xihua Gate, something went wrong.

At this time, the Zhao clan relatives who came to celebrate their birthday were entering one after another, most of whom were walking and also took chariots. Although the status of the prince and princess was very different, most of them still entered according to seniority, and the aunts and uncles who were supposed to teach them still had to be called.

The princesses were even more cowardly. They stood honestly on the side of the road and waited, and they had to say hello to everyone they saw. The wife was favored and could accompany her in. Even the emperor Zhao Jie could not remember the daughter of the emperor, so the princesses stood consciously behind the inner officials.

In the past, Cao Hua could enter through the side door as an official, but today he came here inexplicably as a marquis and rode the imperial chariot, so the scene would be awkward.

Four or five chariots were carried outside the palace gate, including Zhao Kai, Zhao Huan, Zhao Tianluo, and Cao Hua, who was standing in front of a group of princes and princesses carrying eight people. Cao Hua stood in front of a group of princes and princes, and he was standing out in front of a group of princes and princes.

The prince Zhao Huan and others looked at him as if they didn't see him. The remaining group of people walking were embarrassed. After all, their surname was Zhao, and they called him the emperor's uncle and uncle who could not walk behind Cao Hua, but they did not have the courage to penetrate the Tai Sui in Kyoto. The royal family's distant relatives would not evaporate. However, Xue Jiuquan has the right to interfere with the monthly salary of the Zong family's children, and they could not withstand it even though they were exploited for several months.

Cao Hua was also helpless. He was the Marquis, so he should be with the Marquis, but the marquis present was seventy-year-old and eighty-year-old, and he stood tremblingly with a crutch. He asked someone to carry him to walk in front and behind.

For a moment, the huge palace gate was blocked. The eunuchs in the palace dared not say anything, and the distant relatives of Zhao did not dare to ask. No one except a few princes and daughters would want to go in first. Cao Hua naturally did not dare to go in first. If this was the reputation of "respecting Zhao family members as ants", Zhao Jie would probably not be able to protect him.

As for the next step, I can't do it. Cao Hua didn't know the way before entering the palace, so he looked at him and looked dark.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Hua stopped directly outside the door and learned from several evenly matched princes of the vassal princes to close their eyes and concentrate.

Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Princess Yong'an couldn't stand it and said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Cao Hua, go and wait behind."

Cao Hua breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to run directly to the end with the donkey, but unexpectedly, the young people behind him spoke in fear: "The emperor's sister cannot do it. Governor Cao respects and loyalty for the country every day. I have admired him for a long time. How can I make Governor Cao condescend and wait behind us?"

Cao Hua's face calmed down and signaled them not to speak. Unexpectedly, several distant relatives of Zhao, who were not old, were so scared that they almost knelt down.

Zhao Tianluo was so angry that his whole body was trembling. The dignified family member was actually scared to such a look by a slave from another surname. Is this Cao surnamed in the world?

Seeing that several emperor brothers did not speak, Zhao Tianluo turned around and said angrily: "Cao Hua, come here and carry the chariot for me."

As soon as these words came out, the noise outside Xihuamen suddenly became louder.

Cao Hua only carried a sedan chair to the emperor of the dynasty, and the prince did not have such a blessing. He said he was an internal official. Who in the Song Dynasty dared to treat Cao Taisui as an internal official? Moreover, with Cao Hua's snake-scorpion heart, he only obeyed the orders and could he be the emperor of the dynasty, so how could he be condescending to carry a chariot to the daughter of a vassal king?

Several princes were looking at each other. As the saying goes, the emperor and the ministers were always ambiguous in order to prevent being suspicious of their father's confidants, and they were basically regarded as unsightly.

Even the crown prince Zhao Heng could not easily drive Cao Hua. What does it mean to ask Cao Hua to carry him into the palace with a chariot? Is it true that my father's confidant obeyed me? Can you come down?

However, they still had some disgust towards what Cao Hua did, and King Kang's daughter would not be suspicious of the emperor if she said this.

But obviously, no one can do anything about Cao Taisui, and it is obviously impossible to take the opportunity to watch jokes.

Sure enough, Cao Taisui's face sank, his long sword hangs on his waist and jumps off the chariot, and walks towards Princess Yong'an with great strides.

“No…”

"You are bold..."

Many royal relatives suddenly panicked. Cao Hua was cold-blooded and ruthless, and they knew that they had done something to kill Gao Yanei in the street, but Gao Yanei was just an adopted son, so he would kill him. How dare he attack a princess on the birthday of the empress dowager?

Zhao Tianluo's face also changed slightly. Unexpectedly, Cao Hua came over with his sword, shrank a little behind the chariot, his eyes became even more angry, but he did not dare to call and drink again.

The few eunuchs carrying the chariot, remembering Cao Hua's reputation of "one person can stop three hundred iron armors", their faces were pale, and they didn't dare to bring a knife when they entered the palace. However, Cao Hua had a sword given by the emperor. Even if Cao Hua was replaced by his bare hands and the others, they would just look better.

Several eunuchs took a few steps back, remembering that the princess was carrying it, and then they bit the bullet and wanted to go forward to stop it.

"Does go!"

Cao Hua stared at a eunuch carrying a chariot in front of him, raised his sword and shook it.

The little eunuch had a broken heart and was frightened and his legs were weakened. His body could not control himself and he hid a few steps away.

Zhao Tianluo was shocked and in a hurry, he picked up the gift box beside him, preparing to smash the bold traitor.

only...

In front of everyone, Cao Taisui casually held a corner of the chariot and stood with several other people.

Silent.

Many royal family members were inexplicably confused and did not understand what the profound meaning of Cao Taisui's move was. He was not using the rumored "internal strength" to turn this chariot into powder?

Zhao Tianluo was stunned for a long time, and stood on the chariot holding a big gift box. He didn't dare to smash it down. After gritting his teeth for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

Cao Hua looked puzzled and turned around: "Didn't you ask me to carry it?"

“…”

Zhao Tianluo blinked, his eyes were confused, and he didn't react for a while.

Many princes were puzzled when they heard this, and obviously did not understand what it means to suddenly show weakness in Cao Hua, who had always been arrogant.

Cao Hua naturally didn't explain, and held the chariot with his hand and raised his hand casually: "Go!"

"promise!"

The legs of the eunuchs around him were trembling. I guess they would never have thought of carrying a sedan chair with Kyoto Taisui. They were so close. With Cao Hua's martial arts, they could not even be able to defend themselves from killing them. They didn't dare to look around, and they even forgot to walk behind the prince, so they rushed into the palace gate.
