The two walked towards the imperial city, where there were already people waiting.

An old eunuch in brocade was standing under the gate of the imperial city with his eyebrows lowered and his head down. The young eunuch beside him saw them from afar and whispered a few words to him. The old eunuch then raised his eyes and looked at the two figures from afar.

He is the eunuch in the palace, with his surname Zhang, so everyone in the palace respects him as Eunuch Zhang.

Among all the eunuchs, his status is second only to Eunuch Cao, who was the eunuch in front of the imperial court, but his official position is still above him.

Those who can let him come to the gate of the imperial city are all great generals or big names from the first level or above.

Tie Wuchang is only the lord of a city, and Tiehuai City is far away under the cloud wall. It is the edge of the human world, so there shouldn't be such treatment.

But he has a special identity and deserves such etiquette.

When Tie Wuchang came to his door, Eunuch Zhang bowed his head and said that he had given him a tribute.

Tie Wuchang nodded slightly and followed him to walk into the door.

After entering the city gate, walking through a square, we came to the Meridian Gate.

The Meridian Gate is the main gate of the palace. When you enter the Meridian Gate, you enter the palace.

There are five towers above the Meridian Gate, with flying eaves like wings. If you look down from a high altitude, those eaves are like phoenixes spreading their wings, so those buildings are also called the Five Phoenix Tower.

A young man stood in front of Wufeng Tower, wearing a bright yellow court robes, followed by several maids and guards, with clear eyes and a faint smile on his face, which gave people a very easy-going and easy-to-get-in-appearance.

The young man smiled and said, "Lord of Iron City, don't be fine."

Tie Wuchang saluted him and said, "I have met the second prince."

The second prince said, "The Lord of Iron City has been working hard, and I have worked hard all the way. Let me go and meet my father."

Tie Wuchang said, "I don't know what your Majesty calls me to come?"

"The father has been busy with the government affairs recently and has been busy with all kinds of things. He always reviews memorials until late at night. He has not seen the Lord of Iron City for more than a year and misses him very much. He invited you to play chess with his father."

The second prince smiled and said, "It just so happened that today is the tenth meeting, and you can also take a look at the fun."

Tie Wuchang raised his eyebrows slightly, his sad eyebrows trembled slightly, and his face suddenly became very exciting.

He was far away in the cloud wall. With a verbal order from Yuanzong, he came from thousands of miles away because he missed him and asked him to accompany the other party... to play chess?

It’s not enough to have a Shang Qishier around you to monitor him at any time?

Is it fun to do this?

Of course, this is not the first time, but I still wanted to make some excuses in the past. For example, when the various sects were discussing the Tao, the disciples of various sects made a mistake under his nose and asked him to come over and explain it clearly in person.

Although a letter can be done, asking him to explain it personally is just an excuse, and Yuanzong was deliberately trying to toss him.

Tie Wuchang followed the second prince into the palace, and then went to the side hall, and happened to meet Eunuch Cao.

Eunuch Cao bowed to them and left quickly.

Looking at the other party's hurried back, the second prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: What's wrong?

They came to the side hall and asked for a meeting outside the door.

Emperor Yuanzong raised his hand and threw the file in his hand into the air. He caught it by the breeze surrounding the beam, flew out of the window, and didn't know where he went.

"Let him in."

...

...

The eldest prince left the palace and went to Jiangnan. The third prince was still in seclusion and was preparing to participate in the war meeting. The fourth prince was still young.

Only the second prince was left to accompany Yuanzong to polish the ink, and he followed him to review the memorials and learn about the government affairs.

After playing a few chess games with Tie Wuchang, Emperor Yuanzong asked Eunuch Zhang to take him to rest.

The second prince took out the unreviewed memorial from the box, sorted it out, placed it in front of the case, and then sat next to Yuanzong.

Feeling the faint wet feeling brought by the breeze outside the hall, as well as the desertedness and tranquility in the house, it suddenly makes people feel a little bored.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look out the window. A colorful butterfly just flew over there, waving his beautiful wings and passing through the bamboo forest, but was trapped by the formation in the forest. He didn't know where to go, just like a lost girl, secretly feeling sad, and the beauty was heartbreaking.

Looking at this scene,

Thinking of the bamboo forest and the girl,

The second prince naturally remembered the girl he met in Changming when he was young, and

He remembered it very clearly: that afternoon, the sun was very bright, and the girl who was practicing swords in the bamboo forest wore a white long dress.

The same sword move is the murderous real sword in the hands of other disciples.

In her hands, it was like morning dew falling on the petals, and you could feel a kind of calmness and tranquility.

When the sword starts, the girl moves,

So the sword fell in the forest and the fog rose in the mountains.

The girl's figure was even more hazy against the backdrop of the mist and the sword light, like a dream...

The other party is like an elves dancing in the forest, embellishing the bamboo forest into beautiful flower rolls.

Although the second prince was young at that time, he knew that the fog did not really exist, but rather a strange phenomenon of the other party's sword technique.

The girl's bamboo sea sword fell into the sky, but in the eyes of the second prince, she felt that the sword fell into her heart, and the person holding the sword fell into her heart.

From then on, that beautiful figure will never be forgotten.

Compared to her, the beautiful scenery of butterflies outside the window suddenly faded, just like the gravel next to the beautiful jade, without even a single trace.

"concentrate."

A voice awakens the second prince from memory,

He was so scared that he was shocked and said quickly: "My son is distracted, please punish the father."

Yuanzong put the approved files aside, looked at him and asked, "Why are you distracted?"

"this……"

The second prince lowered his head, not knowing how to explain.

Emperor Yuanzong followed his eyes and looked out the window, and saw the butterfly trapped in the bamboo forest. He still didn't understand his son's thoughts.

"Today is the Sword Meeting. All the disciples on Qingzhu Peak have come, and all the sects have sent the best disciples to participate. Do you want to go and see?"

Before the second prince could speak, Emperor Yuanzong withdrew his gaze and said to him: "When Cao Ping comes back, you can go and have a look."

Cao Ping is Eunuch Cao. When the princes are not here on weekdays, he will polish ink and accompany the emperor to review memorials.

The second prince was overjoyed and quickly saluted and said, "Thank you, Father."

Emperor Yuanzong said slowly: "I will go there, not to see the scenery, but to learn and increase your knowledge. You must carefully consider the exquisite swordsmanship and enemy-defying strategies of disciples of various sects. I will test you when I come back."

The second prince said seriously: "My son understands that I will definitely observe carefully when I go there."

Emperor Yuanzong nodded and continued to review the memorials.

Thinking of seeing that person in a while, the second prince felt that he even breathed much lighter, and even the words on the memorials became cute.

After a while, Eunuch Cao finally copied the file and handed it over to the ministers.

The second prince left happily.
Chapter completed!
