Kaiyuan 4700 (2002 AD), the summer heat gradually dissipated with a few autumn rains. The yellow leaves announced the arrival of autumn to the people.
A convoy of carriages passed through the eastern gate of Zhujin City in an orderly manner and headed for the Eastern Palace. In the leading car, the curtains on both sides were pulled open. Chen Dingyuan looked curiously at the magnificent Imperial City. Old Man Wei, who was sitting at the side, looked at Chen Dingyuan, who was looking around, with a smile. He could not help but think of how Chen Dingyuan looked like when he entered and exited Zhujin City back then.
"Alright, you don't have to be so excited. In the future, you'll be working in the Eastern Palace. There's plenty of time for you to see!"
Hearing Elder Wei's words, Chen Dingyuan angrily lowered the curtains and said in embarrassment,""I'm sorry for being rude, but when I think of the location of the emperors of the past dynasties, I'm extremely excited! However, Teacher, is the Crown Prince really as the rumors say? Is he really a talented and intelligent child prodigy?”
Old Man Wei stroked his white beard and smiled."Indeed, although Your Highness is still young, both your aptitude and moral character far exceed those of your age. He would definitely become a promising ruler in the future!”
Hearing that his most respected teacher had such a high evaluation of the Crown Prince, Chen Dingyuan said longingly,""Hearing what teacher said, this student wants to see His Highness the Crown Prince even more!”
"Soon. Now that the four residences of the Eastern Palace and six forces have been established, you will be able to see the Crown Prince.”Old Man Wei said proudly.
On the bus behind them, Xiao Yihan was also looking at the scenery outside curiously. Yang Tianyou, who was sitting beside him, exclaimed,"" Damn it. As expected of Zhujin City, the center of the federation! In front of it, the 'Ashley Palace' of the European Union and the 'Penderraken' of Britannia were like beggars!”
Looking at Yang Tianyou who was yelling beside him, Xiao Yihan said in disdain,""I say, can you calm down? We're the Crown Prince's personal army now. If word gets out that you've never seen the world, you'll simply embarrass the Crown Prince!”
Yang Tianyou didn't seem to care at all,""Old Xiao, you don't know, but I'm feeling very passionate right now! I didn't expect to become the commander of the Eastern Palace. This is a position where I can often meet the Crown Prince. Haha, the Crown Prince's personal guards! Who knows how many people are jealous? This is enough for me to brag in front of those guys for a while.”
Xiao Yihan couldn't stand this guy's nagging and interrupted,""Alright, alright, can you stop? Look at you. Do you look like a royal guard? Also, you're already the father of two children. Can you be more mature?”
Hearing Xiao Yihan mention his two children, Yang Tianyou's interest was piqued. He put his arm around Xiao Yihan's shoulder and said happily,""Haha, speaking of this, Old Xiao, you're not as good as me. You two have been fighting for so many years before you gave birth to such a son. Look at Lao Tzu catching up from behind and hitting the target with one shot. If it weren't for your face, my family would be playing mahjong right now!”
Seeing the smug look on this guy's face, Xiao Yihan's face darkened and he said,""Then continue to give birth. I'll see how you're going to feed your family then.”
"That's right. If we don't take it easy, we'll definitely go bankrupt!”As he spoke, Yang Tianyou licked his lips and said,""Old Xiao! We've been friends for more than ten years. When the time comes, you can't just stand by and watch us die!”
Xiao Yihan didn't know whether to laugh or cry." So I have to pay to raise your son? Only you can think of that!"”
"Old Xiao, you're treating me like an outsider. What kind of relationship do we have? We were classmates in elementary school, middle school, and Huangpu Military High School. This was a life-and-death friendship! Could such close friends be measured by money?”Yang Tianyou held Xiao Yihan's hand and said solemnly.
Xiao Yihan smiled faintly." Hearing you say that, for the sake of our relationship, I can't lend you money." How can our many years of friendship be tarnished by this yellow and white thing!”
"Damn, Old Xiao, can you not be so petty? Why are you so stingy every time we talk about money?”
"Because I never returned the money I borrowed from you!”
"Old Xiao, you're wrong to say that. We can be friends! As the saying goes,'A gentleman's friendship is as light as water'. Talking about money hurts feelings!”
Looking at the fawning smile on Yang Tianyou's face, Xiao Yihan couldn't associate him with a gentleman. He shrugged helplessly and said,""My money is all taken care of by the tigress at home. Now, I'm even poorer than you. I still hope that you can return the money you owe me before?”
Yang Tianyou looked up at the sky and muttered,""The weather is really good today!"
Xiao Yihan was speechless.
In the western area of the Eastern Palace, after Changle Palace was changed to the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, the palace in this area had undergone several renovations. It was specially used for the garrison of the six armies of the Eastern Palace. There was also a large-scale drill ground. The convoy passed through layers of palace walls and bypassed palaces. Just as everyone was about to lose their way, they finally arrived at their destination.
Everyone got out of the car in order and looked around. Chen Dingyuan followed Old Man Wei to a huge palace. Looking at the scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but praise,""How spectacular! This was only an inconspicuous side hall in Zhujin City. One could imagine how magnificent the Hanyuan Hall of the Great Ming Palace was. No wonder the ancients could recite the ancient phrase,'The nine heavens open the palace, and the clothes of all nations worship the crown.'”
Elder Wei heard his student's sigh and said proudly,""Of course, our Huaxia has been passed down for thousands of years. Even though the Federation was ravaged by the flames of war during the An Lushan Rebellion, causing the Federation's power to decline, Wang Mojie still produced such a masterpiece when he ascended the Great Ming Palace. It can be seen that even if the Federation's power is temporarily declining, its deep foundation is not something that those clowns can easily humiliate!”
At this moment, the officials from the Eastern Palace who had come to welcome them came to the front of the crowd. After bowing respectfully to Old Man Wei, who was leading the way, they led the crowd to the palace where they lived.
Yang Tianyou, who was following the team, praised,""How extravagant! His Highness the Crown Prince is so generous. We soldiers can actually live in such a luxurious palace!”
Hearing that this guy was starting to lose control of his mouth again, Xiao Yihan reminded him,""Can you stop talking? Let me warn you, this is the Eastern Palace, where the Crown Prince lives. Don't think that this is your house and go around spouting nonsense!”
"Alright, Old Xiao! You've said this more than ten times. Am I such an unreliable person in your heart?”
"When have you ever been reliable? Especially that mouth of yours. Sometimes, I wish I could sew it up with a needle and thread!”
In Changxin Hall, Liu Yu was wearing the crown prince's robe under Mingyu's service. This gorgeous gown had a strict order of wearing. It was really difficult for one person to wear it well. The curious Celine also wanted to come over and help, but after causing trouble, Mingyu could only chase her aside and do it herself. Celine, who was sitting at the side with nothing to do, looked at Liu Yu and asked,"What's so important that you have to dress so formally?”
Liu Yu looked at her own hair in the mirror, which was combed by Sister Mingyu. After she tied it into a bun and fixed it with a hairpin, she said,"Today is the day that the four residences and six teams of the Eastern Palace are officially established, so I want to personally inspect them.”
Celine's eyes lit up. Then can I go?"
Seeing Celine's expression as if she had found something fun, Liu Yu said helplessly,"Looking at you, I have a bad feeling! It was just to show his face to the various officials and the Eastern Palace guards, to say a few words, and finally to give them a few words of encouragement. Actually, it's very boring. You should stay here!”
"You treat me like a pet. I'm even more bored staying here. Don't worry, I won't give you trouble.”
"Your Highness, please bring Miss Liu with you!" Mingyu said with a smile as she combed through her hair. After all, it was indeed quite boring for her to stay here alone, so she might as well bring him along to experience it.”
Seeing that Mingyu had said so, Liu Yu couldn't refuse anymore. She looked at the two women strangely in the mirror and said,"Sister Mingyu, when did you become so close to this guy?”
Mingyu teased, her large eyes curved like two crescent moons."The relationship between His Highness and Miss Liu seems to be even more extraordinary!”
Celine looked at Mingyu and agreed. His Highness and I have made an agreement on our future relationship.”
"Ah, is that so? I didn't expect His Highness to act so quickly. Should this servant go and inform the Empress?”
Liu Yu looked at Mingyu, who had always been gentle and virtuous, in a daze. She actually had such a side to her. Who the hell is the bastard who led my gentle Sister Mingyu astray? She glared at Celine, who was smiling coquettishly. Other than her, who else could it be?
Liu Yu, who had finished dressing, brought Mingyu and Celine to the car that had been waiting outside the hall and drove towards Hongtai Drill Ground.
……
On the drill ground, the lecturers of the Eastern Palace and the Crown Prince's Grand Preceptor were dressed in purple python-patterned robes. They led the other officials of the Eastern Palace to wait for the arrival of the Crown Prince.
Not long after, Liu Yu arrived at the school grounds in a car. With a squeak, the car stopped steadily at the end of the school field entrance. Mingyu and Celine got out of the car first and opened the back door to welcome Liu Yu out of the car. At this moment, everyone present bowed to Liu Yu under the lead of Old Man Wei and shouted together,"We welcome the Crown Prince!"
Liu Yu naturally received everyone's worship and said,""Everyone, rise!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
On both sides of the drill ground stood the soldiers of the six divisions. These Federation elites were now ready to be inspected by the Crown Prince. Xiao Yihan was the commander of the six armies in the Eastern Palace. He was dressed in a red military robe and held a Han sword in his hand as he led the Crown Prince through the neat formation. Yang Tianyou, who was also dressed in a solemn ceremonial robe, looked excited. When he saw the Crown Prince walk past, he couldn't help but straighten his back.
Celine, who was following behind them, carefully observed the temperament of these soldiers. She could not help but compare them with the Emperor's Guards in Pandraken. Suddenly, a mysterious smile appeared on her lips. Aiya, it seems that Charles and Mariana's plan will have a lot of trouble!
After inspecting the six guards, Liu Yu walked to the front of the stage. He saw his teacher, Wei Yuan, standing on the steps, smiling at him and nodding slightly. The similarly dressed Li Xingke and Zhuge Huairen stood in the crowd and looked excitedly at the Crown Prince below the stage.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Liu Yu took a deep breath and walked up the steps.
