The streets were already filled with bustling crowds.

The officers and soldiers of the government office had already been mobilized, and they had lined up lines and stood people on both sides of the road, creating a large space in the middle for the procession of welcoming the bride and the procession of the groom's official to pass by.

At the same time, the entire inner city and outer city were heavily guarded.

However, at this moment, the groom was not in the welcoming team, nor was he waiting at the Shili Pavilion outside the city. Instead, he came to the inner city quietly.

On the other street, there were few pedestrians and many shops were closed.

Luo Qingzhou wore a large Confucian robe, revealing his handsome face, and walked towards the palace with Xia Chan.

He did not hide his whereabouts, nor did he put on a mask, he just walked on the street without any concealment.

The street entrance near the palace was crowded with people and guarded.

Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan and walked over directly.

When the guards saw them, they said nothing and did not stop them. They allowed the two of them to walk past and walk towards the palace gate.

The two of them seemed to be transparent people.

When the people surrounding him saw this, some of them boldly wanted to pass by, but they were glared at by the guard Sen Han and kicked back.

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Luo Qingzhou ignored the situation behind him and led Xia Chan to the palace gate outside the palace.

The guard at the door glanced at the two of them and said expressionlessly: "Master Luo, please come in. Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Luo Qingzhou cupped his hands and led Xia Chan into the palace gate.

The guard glanced at the sword in the girl's hand behind him and said nothing.

The two of them, one behind the other, continued walking on the spacious and deserted road in the palace, and soon came to the last gate leading to the palace.

Guarding the palace gate is Yu Chiling, a veteran with white hair and beard.

He came down from the city wall, his eyes flashed, he glanced at the two people, his eyes stopped behind Luo Qingzhou, and then without any warning, he pulled out the sword from his waist with a "clang" sound, and the sharp sword tip instantly stabbed

Toward the throat of the girl behind him.

Xia Chan stood there, holding the sword in her hand, motionless.

Until the tip of Senhan's sword was still a tiny distance away from her throat, she was still like a sculpture, motionless, not even blinking her eyelashes.

Yuchi Ling narrowed his eyes, looked at her deeply, put away the sword in his hand, and said solemnly: "Although His Majesty has an order to let you in, the responsibility of this general is to protect the palace. Every warrior

, before entering, you must check your cultivation level. Mr. Luo, are you a warrior?"

He looked sharply at the young man in front of him.

Luo Qingzhou smiled lightly and said: "I am just a scholar. If the general wants to check, just check."

Yuchi Ling raised his other hand, holding a bronze mirror in his hand, and said: "The inspection has been completed, but I just want to ask the young master personally. The young master is a famous scholar all over the world, so naturally he will not

lie."

After saying that, he looked at the girl behind him and said: "The girl must be a warrior, but I can't tell her cultivation level. If it's convenient for the girl, please use your inner strength to release your warrior aura, or stab me.

Any sword can be used."

Xia Chan held the sword, with a cold face, motionless and silent.

Yuchi Ling narrowed his eyes at her, waited for a while, and said coldly: "If the girl refuses to show her cultivation, then I'm sorry, but you can't enter the palace today."

Xia Chan looked at the young man in front of her and tightened her grip on the sword in her hand.

Luo Qingzhou turned around, looked at her, stretched out his hand to hold her little hand holding the sword, and said softly: "Chanchan, then you won't go in, just wait for me outside. After I apologize to Your Majesty, I will

It will come out."

Xia Chan's hand trembled, and when she was about to speak, she met his eyes, and the hand holding her little hand suddenly tightened.

She was stunned and said obediently: "Yeah."

Yuchi Ling frowned slightly, with a look of hesitation on his face.

He raised his head and looked at the city wall.

A figure stood on the city wall and suddenly spoke in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has ordered Mr. Luo and this girl to go in together. General Yuchi, don't you want to disobey His Majesty's order?"

Yuchi Ling pondered again, then waved his hand and said: "Everyone, go in."

After saying that, he turned around and climbed up the city wall with a sullen face.

Luo Qingzhou raised his head and looked at the top of the city wall, but the figure who had just been standing on it had disappeared.

A guard on the city wall had a look of confusion on his face.

His vision went dark just now, and he seemed to be dizzy and didn't know anything anymore. But when he woke up, he found that he was still standing there steadily, and there was nothing abnormal.

Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan into the palace gate and walked towards Yongyan Palace.

Along the way, they met some eunuchs, palace maids, guards, patrolling guards, etc., but they all turned a blind eye to the two of them.

After passing through an arch and about to reach Yongyan Palace, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the road next to it.

Then, a ball suddenly flew over.

"Crack!"

The ball hit Luo Qingzhou's cheek.

Luo Qingzhou staggered, covered his face, and turned his head to look.

Several palace maids surrounded two little girls and were running towards this side. One of the girls suddenly opened her eyes wide and said: "Luo Qingzhou! It's you! You bad guy, why haven't you come to accompany me for so long?

The main kicker! Huh, you deserve to be kicked in the face by Changle!"

The person who spoke was naturally Nangong Xiaorui from Prince Duan's Mansion.

She didn't go out to play with him today.

Next to Nangong Xiaorui, there was another little girl wearing a white dress. She looked about the same age as her. Her eyebrows were quite similar to those of the eldest princess Nangong Huoyue, and she looked quite delicate and cute.

She should be the youngest princess, Princess Changle.

Luo Qingzhou stopped, bowed his head, bowed his hands and said: "Common man Luo Qingzhou, I would like to pay my respects to your two young highnesses."

Nangong Xiaorui pulled Princess Changle over. After hearing this, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Your Highness, your Highness, what kind of little Highness! Luo Qingzhou, you look down on people!"

Princess Changle on the side had reddish cheeks, blinked her big eyes, shyly and curiously looked at the handsome young man in front of her, and whispered: "Xiao Rui, is this the person you said is a good gatekeeper?"

Nangong Xiaorui snorted coldly and said angrily: "That's the bad guy! Every time he needs someone, he talks all kinds of sweet words and accompanies him. Once he's done with it, he wipes his mouth and walks away, never to come again.

,hateful!"

Princess Changle blinked her big clear eyes and whispered: "It's really hateful. Why is he in the palace today? Is he attending his sister's wedding banquet?"

Nangong Xiaorui said disdainfully: "I must be here to flatter Sister Huoyue, you are shameless!"

Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, said nothing, and did not explain.

He was wondering, how could these two girls, a princess and a little princess, suddenly appear in this place at this time?

Even if he was playing football, the palace is so big, why would he suddenly come here?

No matter how stupid these palace maids are, they should know this place and can't just come over and have fun, right?

At this moment, Nangong Xiaorui suddenly shouted to the back: "Sister Meijiao! Sister Meijiao! Come here quickly, look at the bad guy coming!"

As soon as these words came out, Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment, suddenly his heart suddenly dawned, he raised his head and looked behind them with a complicated expression.

Nangong Meijiao was wearing a red dress today. Her figure was still so tall, slim and graceful, but her face didn't seem to be pretty. After seeing him, her face suddenly turned pale.

She held another rubber ball and walked over slowly. She looked at him for a few seconds and said, "Did you go to the wrong place? The eldest princess's palace is over there."

The two palace ladies next to her looked at her.

Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and said: "I came to see Your Majesty. Today I came to the palace. In addition to attending the eldest princess's wedding, I came specifically to apologize to Your Majesty."

Nangong Meijiao's hands holding the ball trembled slightly, her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she glanced at the palace maid next to her.

Luo Qingzhou interrupted what she wanted to say: "Princess, I have sincerely come to apologize to Your Majesty today. There are still people waiting for me at home, and I will go back as soon as possible."

Nangong Meijiao looked pale, glanced at Xia Chan behind him, and said, "Your Majesty is very busy..."

At this time, the maid next to me suddenly said: "Princess, let's take the little princess to the stadium or the back garden to play. If the steward sees it, the slaves will be punished."

Nangong Xiaorui suddenly stared at her and said, "What are you afraid of? If he dares to punish you, you can come to me! I asked Chang Le to go to the Queen Mother and let the Queen Mother scold them!"

Then he said with confusion on his face: "Luo Qingzhou, why did you make Brother Emperor angry? Today is the day of Sister Huoyue's wedding, and you actually want to come over to apologize. You really know how to choose a day. Brother Emperor is busy right now

I have no time to pay attention to you since I am meeting an important guest."

After saying that, she suddenly came over, pulled Luo Qingzhou's wide sleeves and said: "Let's go and play football with us first, and then we will go to sister Huoyue's wedding banquet together later. After the wedding banquet, this county

The Lord will personally accompany you to apologize to Brother Emperor. By the way, there is also Changle. Let Changle accompany us when the time comes. Brother Emperor likes me and loves Changle. With the two of us accompanying him, Brother Emperor will definitely not

You will be punished, so leave quickly!"

Luo Qingzhou stood still and did not move.

Nangong Meijiao was anxious and was about to come over to pull him together. Li Guijian's thin voice suddenly came from the gate of Yongyan Palace not far away: "Hey, Mr. Luo is here! Come in quickly! Your Majesty is already waiting.
