Chapter 37 Li Sanjin Chang'an
"Li San, are you going to the city with me, or to pay tribute to Concubine Zhen first?" Qin Mu's eyes were dim. The long journey was very boring. He spent almost every day sleeping.
Li San said, "Before I left, Your Highness said that he had sent someone to deliver a letter to the Empress. Someone would pick me up at the dock, so I won't bother Mr. Qin."
Qin Mu joked, "Okay, you are not familiar with Chang'an City. If someone picks you up, you won't be lost. If you get lost, your highness won't know how to blame me?"
Li San echoed and smiled. Qin Mu was polite to him for fifteen days. He knew that this kindness was against King Qi and Zhenfei.
According to Qin Mu, the Qin family also has shops in Chang'an City. Qingzhou is thousands of miles away, so the King of Qi naturally cannot take care of him. Sometimes the Qin family needs to be called Zhenfei.
As the two were talking, a girl in pink palace clothes walked slowly towards them and asked, "Is this a merchant ship from the Qin family in Qingzhou?"
"That's right." Qin Mu said respectfully. The girl's outfit was obvious to the people in the palace, and he did not dare to neglect her.
The girl glanced at Qin Mu and looked at Li San, dressed in a servant. Since Concubine Zhen received a letter from King Qi, she ordered her to answer at this pier every day. Today, she saw a merchant ship under the banner of the Qin family moored, and she immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Are you Li San?" The little palace maid confirmed that it was a merchant ship from the Qin family in Qingzhou, and asked in a second question.
Li San bowed and said, "That's right."
"Wow, that's great. I've been waiting here for three days. I am Liuli, the palace maid who serves by Concubine Zhen. The lady asked me to wait for you here. Since I'm here, please come to the palace with me." The little palace maid showed a relaxed look.
Li San nodded, blushing and did not dare to look at Liuli.
The Green Ivy and Ziyuan are already the best beauties in Qingzhou. Unexpectedly, Liuli is also very beautiful. Li San couldn't help but think: No wonder your nobleman wanted to return to Chang'an if he wanted to die. It turned out that the beauties in the world were all in the magnificent palace of light.
"Then I'll bother my sister to lead the way." Li San said in a proper manner, "But this time your highness asked the slave to bring a lot of things."
"This is simple. I'll bring someone to help you get on the carriage." Liuli chuckled and led Li San to Chang'an City. "See how old you are than me, why do you call me sister instead?"
"My sister is the person around Concubine Zhen, and she is much more noble than the little slave. She should call her sister." Li San flattered.
Liuli had a peach blossom face, and she smiled as bright as flowers blooming. She said, "It is true that your highness said that you are slick, but in the palace, you should restrain yourself and never talk nonsense, otherwise you will be careful of your tongue being cut off."
"Ah!" Li San trembled all over in fear.
This Palace of Light is the residence of the emperor. No matter how brave he is, he will be nervous if he thinks about it. When Liuli said this, Li San was even more nervous to pee.
Seeing Li San's appearance, Liuli showed a prank smile and said, "But you don't have to worry. Just follow me, don't talk nonsense, don't look around."
Li San hurriedly said, "Sister, for the sake of Your Highness, must help the little slave."
Speaking of King Qi, Liuli frowned. Speaking of the fact that he didn't like this demon king in the world.
At this time, a carriage was parked at this time. Liuli did not answer Li San's words, but said, "Get on the car."
When the two arrived in the car, Liuli turned to ask about Luluo and Ziyuan. When she learned that Luluo and Ziyuan were doing well in the Qi Palace, she seemed to have improved and talked about Chang'an City to Li San.
The carriage left the dock and arrived at the city gate about half an hour. The guards of Zhengde Gate checked Li San's slave family and let the two of them enter Chang'an City.
Sitting inside the car and hearing the noisy sound outside the carriage, Li San couldn't help but lift the curtains.
"There are so many people in Chang'an City." Li San looked at the avenue opposite Zhengdemen, and the crowds were crowded with people, which was even more lively than when the East and West City of Qingzhou opened.
Liuli said, "This is not the time when there are the most people. When it is noon, the carriage will probably not be able to move."
Li San was shocked and continued to look. In addition to his carriage, on this 50-meter-wide bluestone road, there were luxurious carriages inlaid with gold and jade. Among the carriages were officials wearing different colors of court uniforms, red and green, merchants wearing silk and satin, and some carriage windows with pearl curtains, or a very handsome woman's face could be seen.
Looking back at the blue coarse cloth clothes on his body, Li San suddenly felt a little inferior. The ordinary people in Chang'an City were much better than him.
"No wonder Your Highness said that Chang'an is the most prosperous place in the world." Li San sighed.
"That's natural, but this time I came to Chang'an, why didn't Your Highness prepare you a decent outfit? This..." The reason why Liuli could easily recognize Li San was because of his simple and coarse cloth clothes.
Li San grabbed his ears, "Your Highness said, you have to wear this way, otherwise why would you cry poorly?"
"Crying poor?" Liuli showed a puzzled look?
"It's just that I'm too poor, so I mean crying." Li San explained.
"Is this the dialect of Qingzhou? It's interesting." Liuli smiled, and her beautiful appearance made Li San blush again.
He was just the same age as Xiao Ming, and was the time when he was in the spring.
Let me say something, let me say something, and it took another hour before I arrived at the palace gate of the Guangming Palace. When I got here, I had to walk into the first-rank officials and the people.
After getting off the carriage, Li San looked at the magnificent palace in Guangming Palace, and was amazed.
Liuli said that Chang'an City is sixty miles long, with 360 civil yards in the city, which is three times that of Qingzhou City, and is enough to show the prosperity of Chang'an. This gorgeous Palace of Light is the finishing touch of Chang'an.
Entering from the side door, Liuli led Li San into the Guangming Palace all the way.
"The main gate is Wuji Hall, which is where the emperor and ministers discuss the affairs of the court. We cannot walk." Liuli told Li San the rules in the palace on the way, "You can directly enter the harem from the path of the side gate."
After entering the palace, Li San became much more nervous. Many palace maids and eunuchs came and went and looked at him constantly, which made him quite nervous. He had to nod.
Now the two of them are walking in an alley between two walls. At the end of the alley is an arch, and when they enter the arch is a corridor of mahogany and vermilion.
On both sides of the corridor are huge lotus ponds. At this time, the lotus ponds in the lotus pond have dried up, and there are many carp swimming around inside.
Li San had no time to appreciate it, and after passing the 100-meter-long corridor, there was another corridor turning west. He looked up and saw that such corridors were turning around, and there were some palaces along the corridor.
There was a golden plaque written on the palace, but he didn't recognize the words and could not recognize what it was.
The more you walked in, the more palace maids came and went to the corridor, some of which were carrying exquisite pastries, fragrant cakes, hot water and other things.
"The empresses' bedroom is ahead, don't look inside." Liuli ordered.
Li San responded again, and the end of the corridor suddenly became wider. There was a large garden. On one side of the garden was the lotus pond I just saw, and a stone bridge lies across the pond like a crescent moon.
There are many pavilions and pavilions on the other end of the bridge, and there is an arch in front of each yard. This is what Liuli calls the concubine's bedroom.
