After being dressed as Wu Zetian's daughter, she was favored by the group

Chapter 177 Passionate Li Changxiao

Li Lingyue drove a carriage speeding through the streets of Luoyang City.

Passers-by along the street gave way to the road at a distance, pointed at the galloping woman, and discussed which Taoist nun belonged to such a presumptuous family.

As soon as the carriage arrived at Jishanfang, they saw a dozen guards with swords standing in a row from a distance. Seeing that Li Lingyue had no intention of stopping, the leading guard immediately drew his sword and scolded:

"You are bold and unruly. You are not allowed to ride a horse outside Prince Yu's palace. Why don't you get off your horse quickly?"

Li Lingyue reined in his horse, glanced around at the people in front of him, and asked loudly: "Are you the guards of Prince Yu's Mansion?"

"Nonsense! Where are you from as a Taoist nun? Don't you know the rules of Jishanfang?"

Jishanfang is a residential area next to the main gate of the imperial city. The location is the most prominent. Only one family from Prince Yu's residence lives in the huge square, which shows the status of Prince Yu in Luoyang City.

Li Lingyue was eager to save people, but she didn't bother to write ink. She put down the reins, jumped off the carriage, walked to the guards with swords drawn, and directly revealed her identity.

"Pindao is the master of Taiping Temple. Hearing that King Yu is seriously ill, he came here to visit. Why don't you take me into the palace quickly?"

When they heard it was "Taipingguan", several guards' faces changed slightly with fright. They quickly sheathed their swords and knelt down on one knee:

"You little ones are ignorant of Mount Tai. They didn't know that the princess was coming. Please forgive me, princess!"

In Luoyang City today, as long as Taiping Temple is mentioned, everyone knows that it is the dojo of the princess!

Big bosses like King Yu, Prince Yu, and Yu Zhenzi may not give face to the princess, but ordinary people always have to bow down to the princess when they see her.

Li Lingyue waved her hand, pointed at the guard's head and said, "Get up, um, you, take this temple master into the house quickly!"

The guard leader nodded quickly and bowed: "Princess, please follow me!"

Li Lingyue followed the guard and walked more than two hundred meters before arriving at the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion.

At this time, outside the Prince Yu's Mansion, there were many guests and it was very lively. All three doors of the Prince's Mansion were open, and there were more than a dozen servants of the Prince's Mansion standing at the door. Whenever the butler sang the guest's name, a servant would come forward to guide the way.

Li Lingyue looked from a distance and saw that just as Kang Shun said, she was not the only one being entertained by Prince Yu's Mansion. All the prominent people in Luoyang City came to visit with gifts.

Seeing this situation, Li Lingyue was slightly relieved. After all, if he really wanted to assassinate her, he wouldn't put on such a show.

But then she thought about it, and she was confused in her heart. She and the county prince Li Changxiao were supposed to be sworn enemies. Why was she invited to the palace today for no reason? He even threatened He Lan Minzhi's life in order to invite him.

What kind of medicine is sold in this prince's gourd?

Li Lingyue was puzzled, and suddenly heard the housekeeper's voice coming from his ears:

"Helan Mansion Patriarch, He Lanmin has arrived!"

Li Lingyue's heart tightened and she quickly quickened her pace and walked to the gate in a few steps. She happened to see He Lan Minzhi dressed in white and following a boy up the steps. He was still surrounded by eight guards.

"Cousin! Stop!" Li Lingyue shouted towards the back.

Helan Minzhi paused when he heard this, turned around quickly, and looked at Li Lingyue with some surprise.

"Cousin, why are you here!"

When Li Lingyue saw the eight guards around He Lan Minzhi and heard his question, she felt relieved and guessed that she was probably being played by the old housekeeper.

She pulled up her hair by her ears, walked up to He Lan Minzhi, and said softly:

"I guess my cousin entered the palace to rescue me. Unfortunately, when I came to Prince Yu's palace, I also heard that my cousin was invited to the palace!"

"That's it!" He Lan Minzhi laughed out loud: "It seems that both of us have been plotted by the people from Prince Yu's Mansion!"

When Li Lingyue saw that He Lan Minzhi was safe and sound, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, and she asked jokingly:

"Since you and I have been tricked here, should we enter the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion or not?"

Helan Minzhi said confidently: "Of course I have to come in. You are Prince Yu's niece and granddaughter. If you don't go and visit, it would be unreasonable both emotionally and rationally. As for my cousin, I am idle anyway. It would be great to accompany you to Prince Yu’s house for a cup of tea!”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and without any further hesitation, they walked into the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion side by side. This was the first time that Li Lingyue entered Prince Yu's Mansion. The size of the courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion alone opened her eyes as a princess.

Prince Yu's Mansion is worthy of being the most powerful person in the Eastern Capital. The Prince's Mansion alone occupies an area of ​​​​a square. The buildings in the palace are scattered and there are many rockeries. In the courtyard to the east, two large artificial lakes were even excavated and the water of Luoshui was introduced. branches, forming two natural lakes. The entire palace is divided into four areas: east, west, north and south. It is as large as the royal palace.

Li Lingyue walked for a long time before passing through the second courtyard and arriving at the front hall of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Following the announcement from the servants of the palace, Li Changxiao, who was greeting the guests, actually came out to greet them in person.

"Hahahaha, my dear niece, you are finally here, Uncle Wang is looking forward to you!!"

Li Changxiao was wearing a red round-neck robe with a jade belt inlaid with gold around his waist. He offered his hand to Li Lingyue from afar. His warm and familiar look made it seem to outsiders that the two of them were really close. .

After the two parties approached, Li Changxiao raised his eyelids, caught a glimpse of He Lan Minzhi beside Li Lingyue, and said with a smile:

"Hey! Mr. Helan is here too. It seems that my niece's charm is really great!"

Li Changxiao knew clearly that He Lan Minzhi and Li Lingyue were cousins, but he still wanted to make such a joke that violated human ethics. He was obviously going to anger He Lan Minzhi.

Seeing this, Li Lingyue hurriedly took half a step forward, stood in front of He Lanmin, and performed a Taoist etiquette towards Li Changxiao:

"The prince is joking, Pindao is a monk now, he cannot be called a 'niece'!"

Li Changxiao pretended to wave his hands: "Why don't you become a monk? Even if you become a monk and practice Taoism, you are still the princess of my Li family. The princess came to visit the prince. As an uncle, I am really grateful. Come on, please come in!"

Without any explanation, Li Lingyue and Lan Minzhi were invited to the palace hall by the enthusiastic Li Changxiao.

As soon as he entered the hall, Li Lingyue took a quick look and saw that there were several old acquaintances of his sitting there.

On the left side of the hall are the other two sons of King Yu, and sitting in the third seat is the imperial inspector He Shan!

The second-in-command in Dongdu, Zhao Weiting, the governor of Henan Province, was willing to be his subordinate.

Below Zhao Weiting is the Luoyang governor Wen Deju, and below that is the Luoyang city garrison and civil servants.

When He Shan and Wen Deju saw Li Lingyue, they were both shocked. He Shan wanted to stand up and say hello, but Li Lingyue glared back, so he had to imitate Zhao Weiting, Wen Deju and others, symbolically He gestured with his hands raised.

Regarding the relationship between He Shan and himself, except for the local officials in Yanzhou, few people in Luoyang knew about it. Li Lingyue did not want to expose his power prematurely unless it was absolutely necessary.

After a brief greeting, Li Lingyue looked at the first person on the right. The first person sitting there was also an old acquaintance. It was Tianshi Yuzhenzi, the head seal of the Tiandao Sect. The position below her was vacant, so it should be What is left to himself, and the rest are all the masters of various Taoist temples.

After He Lan Minzhi sat down, Li Lingyue coughed, strode up to Yu Zhenzi, stood upright, and greeted her politely:

"Li Lingyue, the master of Taiping Temple, has met senior brother Yu Zhenzi!"

He said hello, but to other people's ears, especially Yu Zhenzi's ears, he didn't mean it.

Li Lingyue deliberately made the relationship clear. This was to declare that he was a peer of Yu Zhenzi, and severely suppressed Yu Zhenzi.

Yu Zhenzi snorted and completely ignored Li Lingyue's greetings.

Li Lingyue didn't care, lifted up her clothes, and sat next to her openly!

When all the guests were seated, the old butler Kang Shun hurried back and shouted at the top of his voice:

"King Yu is here!"

As soon as the voice fell, four maids carried a white-haired old man out from behind the screen. The paralyzed King Yu was placed on the king's chair directly above the hall like a mascot.

As soon as King Yu arrived, everyone, including Li Lingyue, stood up to greet him!

Taking advantage of the break in salutes, Li Lingyue took a glance and found the county prince Li Changxiao standing in the center of the hall with a sly smile on his lips.

Li Lingyue's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that something was not good...

　Um, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, so I was delayed for three days. Sorry, sorry!
