Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 296 Entering the Palace
After meeting Lin Ruhai, Li Qiang returned to her house through the small door between the two houses.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is ready and waiting for you in the front yard!" As soon as he arrived at the main hall, he met Jade waiting here, Jade News reported.

"So fast!" Li Qiang was a little surprised.

Although he stayed in the Lin Mansion for more than an hour, Lin Daiyu had to pack things. There were a lot of things in her daughter's house, so she packed them up in this little time.

"The Crown Princess said to go to the East Palace first, and just ask someone to come back and get it if you need anything!" Jade explained with a smile.

"Pass my order to mobilize fifteen archers and twenty powerful generals to accompany the team to the East Palace!" Li Qiang thought for a moment and ordered.

When he is not in the mansion, the guards in the mansion are managed by Jade, and Jade has the power to command these powerful men.

He left two sharp archers. As for the strong men, he just transferred them away first, and then transferred some more from Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

In fact, after he leaves this mansion, there is a high probability that no one will target this place.

Moreover, in today's Daqian, who would oppose a prince and the future emperor of Daqian in terms of force!

When he saw the carriage, he couldn't help but be startled.

Feng Shi almost immediately drove her back to the house. According to Feng Shi, there was no choice in this matter. Yinglian had stayed in the house for so many years, and to outsiders, she was already Li Qiang's person.

She returned home and told her parents that Li Qiang would become the crown prince and let her choose whether to enter the palace.

After all these years, the powerful generals in the mansion have become rank-5 warriors. With such strength, they would be at least third-level generals in the army, but they serve as guards in the mansion.

Even the forces involved in the impeachment of Li Qiang in the DPRK, such as the four government offices and some officials, also lost a lot of money.

Most importantly, Li Qiang is a very vindictive person, which can be seen from the fate of Li Qiang's enemies.

Li Qiang frowned slightly. Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were willing to enter the palace, which was beyond his expectation.

Every guard here is a strong one among the mighty generals.

There seemed to be a voice in her heart asking her to agree. At the moment, she didn't understand why she agreed.

The door opened wide, and the threshold in front of the door was removed. In front were the palace guards opening the way, and behind were ten carriages guarded by powerful generals. The maids also got on the carriage, and only six eunuchs trotted behind the carriage.

The remaining officials who had taken refuge with the three princes were even more troublesome.

With his status, there is no one like him in this Daqian. Even Liu Xianglian, who was rated as infatuated in the Red Mansion, is also a romantic who often hangs out in the Flower Mansion.

As Yinglian sat in the carriage, she thought about what happened when she returned home.

Although Zhen Shiyin and the Feng family share a house, Yinglian still lives in the house every day, but goes back to meet her parents from time to time.

Just as he was thinking about it, fifteen powerful archers and twenty powerful guards rushed over.

Yinglian buried her head between her legs. She thought of the teasing looks Miaoyu and the other girls looked at her after they returned home. She had just left home and returned home not long ago, so the time was almost equal to the time spent on the journey, that is, She said that she didn't even stay at home for a while, as if she came back in a hurry.

In fact, it was almost the same. On the way back and forth, she asked the driver to speed up.

Now that Li Qiang has become the prince, these officials need to consider the pressure from the prince.

But the problem is that even if the four princes want to give gifts, they don't have much money to give them.

"Let's go!" Lin Daiyu was riding in Li Qiang's car. Li Qiang got into the car and ordered in a deep voice.

Anyone who dares to threaten Li Qiang or his family with force will be uprooted by him.

There were ten carriages here, and each carriage was guarded by its own maid, allowing him to recognize the identity of the people in the carriage at a glance.

The guards in the palace were average in strength, but their backgrounds were not simple. They all felt the terrifying strength of these guards.

The four royal houses that had some issues with Li Qiang all looked miserable. They were already thinking about how to ease their relationship with Li Qiang.

Although there are some confidantes, they are more passionate than polite.

He couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. He had just become the prince today and brought a group of women into the East Palace. He would probably be rated as a lecher by those in the court!

They wisely gave up their guard positions in the middle, and instead acted as the path opener and the rear guard respectively.

Lin Daiyu's carriage was at the front, followed by Miaoyu, Yunfei, Zhujun, Yinglian, Xingxiuyan, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Qin Keqing who had been living in seclusion in the mansion.

Even if it doesn't matter, these officials' future in officialdom is over.

Jade retreated and Li Qiang came to the front yard.

The position of the three princes when competing for the crown prince is a gamble. If they win, they will follow the dragon's merits. If they fail, they will have to bear the backlash brought by the gamble.

Li Qiang's revenge against the four Dukes' mansions made the four Dukes' mansions become the poorest noble families in the capital.

This is too unfair. For so many years, the only woman he has had is Lin Daiyu, his wife.

Although Zhen Shiyin was a little reluctant to give up, it was related to his daughter's lifelong happiness. Whenever he saw his daughter's expression when she mentioned Li Qiang, he knew that her daughter was deeply involved.

Even if Li Qiang is not the prince, her daughter will not marry anyone else but Li Qiang.

These officials were first investigated by the Third Division. Anyone who had even the slightest connection with the rebellion would be dismissed from office and imprisoned.

Precisely because it was true, Yinglian felt particularly embarrassed.

The arrival of these warriors made the twelve palace guards very nervous.

In the last carriage, Qin Keqing was supported by two maids. Lin Daiyu asked someone to call her over and asked her what she meant. Without thinking, she agreed to enter the palace together.

The palace guards looked at each other, knowing that this was Li Qiang's guard, and a sense of powerlessness arose in their hearts.

When Li Qiang became the crown prince, as the cabinet announced the crown prince's edict, first the officials in various yamen knew about it, and then the various forces in the capital also got the news.

In Xue Mansion in the capital, Jia Baoyu changed into a brocade robe and wore a fake 'psychic jade' around his neck. He was no different from when he was in Rongguo Mansion.

The Rongguo Mansion was raided and he was imprisoned for half a year, which allowed him to mature a little.

But his temperament is difficult to change. At this moment, he has a book of Analects in front of him and is helping the little maid next to him to stroke her eyebrows.

"These eyebrows are divided into crescent eyebrows, double swallow eyebrows, jade feather eyebrows, character eyebrows, osmanthus leaf eyebrows, and small mountain eyebrows. 'Wenjun is beautiful, her eyebrows are as bright as distant mountains, and her face is often like a hibiscus.' Your face is like a hibiscus." "It's best paired with small mountain eyebrows!" Jia Baoyu said with a smile.

The little maid's face turned pink, and her eyes were a little blurry.

She was arranged by the Xue family to serve Jia Baoyu. She had never seen such a romantic figure before, and she was moved by Jia Baoyu's words.

"The eyes are full of green, the mountain color is hazy, the posture is elegant and carefree, the small mountain eyebrows, when I first woke up in the morning, when I was on the mountain forehead, I looked so lazy that I didn't even have a smile." Jia Baoyu traced his eyebrows and took a step back to praise.

The little maid felt her heartbeat speeding up. She hadn't read much, but she had also seen plays, and the stories about talented people and beauties in the plays seemed to fall on her.

"Good sister, where did you buy this rouge? Can you give me a taste?" Jia Baoyu approached the little maid's face and teased.

Jia Baoyu and the little maid did not see two figures standing outside the window. One of them is Xue Baochai, and the other is Xue Tong.

The Xue family received the news that Li Qiang became the prince. Xue Tong informed Xue Baochai of the news, and the two wanted to come over to discuss the matter with Jia Baoyu.

Jia Baoyu's current situation is that she is penniless. If she marries Xue Baochai, she will almost be considered a wife.

Therefore, matters related to the Xue family must be discussed with Jia Baoyu. Of course, this is also related to Jia Baoyu's recent knowledge of studying and studying.

Seeing this scene, Xue Tong was about to go in and scold him, but he was held tightly by Xue Baochai, who looked at his father with pleading eyes.

Xue Tong had no choice but to shake his sleeves and turn around to leave.

Xue Baochai glanced at the study again, sighed and left.

In the study room, Jia Baoyu and the little maid's faces were almost touching each other.

"Madam, you missed the Xue family and your daughter!" Xue Tong saw Mrs. Xue and said in a rare angry tone.

"What do you say? You still don't like Baoyu. Baoyu has turned around. As long as he works hard, he will eventually achieve something!" Mrs. Xue knew that Xue Tong didn't like Baoyu, so she persuaded him softly.

"Did you know that Li Qiang has now been crowned the crown prince and will be the emperor of Daqian from now on!" Xue Tong took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.

"Really?" Mrs. Xue was also shocked.

"If you hadn't insisted on having your daughter engaged to that Jia Baoyu, with the relationship between my Xue family and Li Qiang, maybe my daughter would have been able to enter the palace!" Xue Tong pointed at Mrs. Xue and said.

Mrs. Xue did not refute this time, and she had nothing to say.

When the relationship between the Xue family and Li Qiang was at its best, she brought her children to the capital and moved into the Rongguo Mansion, where she had issues with Li Qiang. This also caused the relationship between the Xue family and Li Qiang to become distant.

Who would have known that Rongguo Mansion would be raided later. If Xue Tong had not come back earlier and brought his family out of Rongguo Mansion early, the raid would have affected the Xue family.

"Let's talk about your good Baoyu, he is flirting with the maid in the study at the moment.

Also, how much the old lady loved Baoyu in the past. Did Baoyu ever go to worship the old lady after he came out? Mr. Zheng and his wife were exiled. Did Baoyu ever ask about his parents? Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng were Baoyu's brothers and sisters-in-law. He is also extremely protective of her. Now that her brother and sister-in-law are in jail, has Baoyu ever cared about her? "Xue Tong has been suppressed for a long time recently, and now he completely exploded in front of Mrs. Xue.

As he spoke sentence by sentence, Mrs. Xue and Xue Baochai, who was standing at the door, felt cold in their hearts.

Unsentimental, this is the description they think of.

Can such a man be trusted?

"With this old face, I will go to see His Highness the Crown Prince again to see if Pan'er can come back early. The Xue family cannot fall into Jia Baoyu's hands!" Xue Tong said in a deep voice.

Favors get thinner the more they are used, he knows this.

The last time he went to ask Li Qiang, Xue Pan had a glimmer of hope and was taken care of in the border town.

If I go to ask Li Qiang again this time, and Li Qiang is still honored as the prince, I am afraid that the last bit of love between the Xue family and Li Qiang will be consumed.

"Father!" Xue Baochai said with tears in his eyes as he entered the room.

"I've suffered so much for you, my Baochai!" Mrs. Xue cried.

She hugged Xue Baochai, and her heart was broken by the thought that her daughter would marry such a thing, and she was the one who made it happen.

"Baoyu will definitely change!" Xue Baochai murmured as he fell into his mother's arms.

A convoy of vehicles arrived at the entrance of the palace. Seeing this, the eunuch at the entrance of the palace did not dare to search, but just reported the matter.

The motorcade entered the East Palace and stopped in front of the main hall of the East Palace.

"The archers are divided into three squads, with five people in each squad. The observation tower surrounding the East Palace will be stationed by you, and the rest of the guards will replace the East Palace guards!" Li Qiang ordered in a deep voice.

"Got the order!" The warrior archers and warrior guards obeyed the order.

"Inform the palace guards that there is no need for the palace guards to intervene in the East Palace's guards!" Li Qiang turned to Jin Dong and ordered.

Jin Dong felt helpless, but he could only accept it.

The prince's behavior does not comply with the rules of the palace, and many people in the palace may be dissatisfied.

But this is the prince's order and he must carry it out.

Li Qiang didn't care about Jin Dong's thoughts. He took Lin Daiyu to the princess's bedroom.

This place was originally the residence of the queen, so it was not originally designed as a princess, but it has not been changed.

Because everyone knows that even if someone lives in the East Palace, he is basically the emperor.

Take Li Qiang as an example. Although he is the prince, it will not be long before he ascends the throne.

Therefore, no one changed it, and the Queen's original style was still retained.

Of course, Emperor Jingwen did not establish a queen, and Concubine Wu originally lived here.

Speaking of Concubine Wu, Concubine Wu originally lived in Cining Palace with the Queen Mother on the basis of her mother's wealth and her son's wealth.

But Concubine Wu's son, the Seventh Prince, committed a crime, and she also moved out of Cining Palace again, this time living in the Cold Palace with the other imperial concubines.

Moreover, Concubine Wu was also deprived of her status as a concubine. She had retained this status before because of the seventh prince.

The princess's bedroom is divided into five rooms, with the open room in the middle used for daily rest and reception.

The two rooms on the west are the Xinuange bedroom and the dressing room, and the two rooms on the east are the East Room and the Quiet Room.

"This palace is not as good as our mansion!" Xue Yan said softly.

"You're a girl who doesn't know the rules, this is the palace, you can't talk nonsense!" Lin Daiyu scolded Xue Yan with a smile.

The truth is in her heart, and she also feels like this.

This princess's bedroom is full of grandeur, but the accommodation is not as good as the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Xiaoxiang Pavilion has water, rockeries and green plants. Sitting in the room, you can listen to the sound of water and look at the scenery of mountains and rivers.

"Sister Lin, you stay here first, and later I will find a place in the Royal Garden to build a courtyard for you to live in!" Li Qiang said with a smile.

"There are strict rules in the palace, so don't break them for me!" Lin Daiyu warned Li Qiang softly, for fear that she would do something wrong.

Li Qiang smiled, but she made up her mind.

He doesn't worry about the rules in the palace. When he takes the throne, the whole world will listen to him, let alone the palace.
