Chapter 268 Red Lotus
Hanwang Palace, West Court of the Inner Palace.
Located in a corner of Xiyuan, there is a courtyard covering an area of hundreds of acres. The courtyard is resplendently decorated, dotted with precious items from all over the place, each of which is priceless when released.
There are dozens of court ladies and eunuchs accompanying the courtyard. They take care of the courtyard every day to make it look new and orderly. The vitality of the courtyard depends on them.
Obviously, although the king of Han didn't value his only daughter very much, he still had basic treatment. Even because he was an only daughter, compared with some princes, he loved her more than some princes.
"What? You said that my father wants to see me? Or in the Chengde Palace?" A girl in a pink dress with light pink makeup on her face asked in surprise.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness, this is indeed an order from the king. Please don't delay, and follow the villain quickly, so as not to cause the king's displeasure!" The beardless feminine man said.
"Liu Changzai, aren't you lying to me, the princess? Chengde Hall has always been a solemn place, a place where state affairs are discussed, and my father would scold me when I get close to him, so how could I go there? All the time!" Princess Honglian widened her big eyes, and the words "I don't believe it" flashed in her eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that this person in front of her has always been a very favored eunuch by her father's side, who has always been around her father's side, rarely leaves, and is impossible to be bribed by others, Princess Honglian would have thought that she had met a liar and was involved in in some conspiracy.
Don't underestimate the political IQ of any member of the royal family. They may be kind-hearted or yearn for innocence, but their sensitivity to conspiracy politics is far beyond that of ordinary people.
After all, anyone who grew up in a place full of intrigues and ruthless political struggles will have more or less a little bit of political wisdom.
"Your Highness, the old minister dare not lie to you! Although what you said is reasonable, the Chengde Palace does not allow the harem to approach, but this time there is an exception. There is a reason. This time, the envoy of South Korea called to see you , and said that it was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Yu, so I made an exception very late and invited you to have an audience!" The eunuch, who is usually powerful in the inner palace, also had a wry smile on his face, and he was a little puzzled to persuade the person in front of him. A life-threatening little princess.
I can't help but blame him for being anxious. It is the king of Han's order that cannot be disobeyed. Now the king of Han, his envoys, and all the civil and military officials are waiting in the hall. Every moment of delay is a drain on the patience of these big shots.
And as Xuanzhao, who had finished shouting the order and invited His Highness the Princess to meet him, he was the one who bore the brunt of it.
Her Royal Highness, as the daughter of the royal family, has a distinguished status, and at the moment is an important person waiting for many ministers, so of course she will not be reprimanded, and even nothing will happen.
But he, a lowly rootless person, is different. Just one or two excuses can knock him from the sky to the clouds. Maybe, as long as some competitors whisper in Han Wang's ear and use some tricks, Han Wang can make Han Wang hate himself, think that he is ineffective, and lose South Korea's face.
So in order to save time, this Liu Changshi was in a hurry. Originally, it was at least half an hour's journey from Chengde Hall to here, but it took him more than ten minutes to come here abruptly.
Naturally, there is no need to describe the hard work involved, thanks to the fact that he is also a martial arts master with a second-rate cultivation base, so such a little bit of pain is not taken to heart by him.
However, even so, his current state is not very good.
Just looking at the profuse sweating all over his body, the fact that he was a little out of breath while speaking, and that his whole body was trembling faintly, it could be seen that he was not feeling well right now.
"Well, I said, how could my father let me go to a place like Chengde Hall? It turned out that an outsider wanted to see me, but why did he want to see me? It was the order of the legendary Emperor Yuguo!" Princess Honglian suddenly realized. Nodding his head, his wide eyes blinked, quite puzzled.
She is just an ordinary princess in South Korea, and she has no reputation in the world. If she is said to be beautiful, that is impossible.
As far as she knew, among other things, she was the princess of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, and people chanted her good name. She was said to be the most beautiful in the world, and she was called the most beautiful woman in the world.
But besides being pretty, I don't seem to have anything outstanding!
In terms of talent, I am not as good as those students who can be seen everywhere on the street. In terms of martial arts, I am just a second-rate three-legged cat, far from being a master.
What is the reason? Let yourself be noticed by this aloof Emperor Yuguo!
In a daze, Princess Honglian thought of the man she had seen before. This is the man who I hate so much, who single-handedly turned the world into this devastated situation.
King Jing.
It should be him!
Only he can know me and be able to influence the emperor of the imperial country.
Unknowingly, Honglian already had a guess.
"Since the princess already knows, let's go with the old slave! The kings are waiting impatiently, if you don't go, the old slave will be blamed!" Liu Changshi looked anxious, his eyes full of pleading .
"That's it, then let's go, it's really not good to keep father waiting for a long time!" Hong Lian looked at the lovely and pitiful person in front of her, knowing that every time she delays like this, this person will be blamed more, She, who was already kind-hearted, suddenly softened.
Afterwards, the two hurried to the gate of Chengde Hall in less than two quarters of an hour, thirty minutes.
At this time, there were several servants waiting outside the door. They walked around anxiously, looking in the direction of Princess Honglian's residence from time to time, as if they were waiting for something.
Suddenly, seeing a pink figure appear, he was startled, but after seeing who it was, he blurted out in surprise.
"Your Highness, you are finally here. The king has already sent someone to urge you several times, but the servants are so anxious to death!"
"Ah, ah, isn't this princess here? What's the hurry?" Seeing so many people waiting for her, Princess Honglian was startled and felt a little sorry.
"Princess, please enter the palace with your slaves!" At this time, a eunuch who looked like a leader entered Chengde Palace in front of Honglian.
Honglian's footsteps had just entered the hall, but suddenly hundreds of eyes looked at him in unison, causing her to stay in the air with the steps she had just raised, not daring to fall.
"Okay, I'm so nervous, what happened? Why are so many people looking at me?" Honglian kept asking herself, her heart beating like a deer.
