Chapter 460 (1/2)
After leaving the East Palace, Li Shen saw that several eunuchs of his highness were loading things on a carriage, and there were two Petite eunuchs beside them. From their eyes, we can see that these two eunuchs were women disguised as eunuchs.
Moreover, they just stood beside another carriage and did not work with others. Li Xu could not help but be curious about their identities.
”Don't look. Those two were sent by Xinluo and Koguryo when they came back from Koguryo. After meeting uncle Ji Wang soon, I went back to Chang'an directly, so I had to take some things back. Let's go first and let them wait at the gate of the mansion Li Hong patted Li Xu on the shoulder, and they continued to walk out side by side.
After hearing Li Hong's simple explanation, Li Xu didn't ask who it was given to. He looked at the two maids beside them, helping them pick up gifts and other things from time to time. It was obvious that their status in the East Palace was relatively respected.
Li Xu is of medium height. Because he has been working with Ji Wang for many years, he has a slightly dark complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a healthy face. He is of medium build and looks very strong.
After asking Li Hong to get on the carriage of King Ji's mansion, Li Xu originally intended to sit on the shaft with the coachman from left to right. However, he had just settled down on the shaft. Li Hong stretched out his hand and pulled him into the carriage: ”it's very kind of you. You are all a family. Don't be so outspoken. Come in and sit together.”
”Then I'll be obedient rather than respectful.” Li Xu helped Futou on his head passively and bent over to get into the carriage with Li Hong.
This carriage was not his own, but his father, King Ji, Li Shen. Recently, he invited Prince Li Hong. King Ji sent his own carriage to meet him to show his respect and courtesy to his royal highness.
The horseshoe inlaid with horseshoes is walking on the main road paved with bluestone slabs in Luoyang City, and the hooves sound leisurely. Because there is no royal house honor guard in use, the carriage with the mark of Prince Ji's residence passes smoothly on the road, but its speed is still relatively slow.
With the roar and noise outside the window being left behind, the carriage slowly stopped at the main entrance of Prince Ji's residence. At this time, many people headed by King Ji Li Shen were waiting for the prince to get off the bus.
Li Shen, the king of Ji, was a good writer. He had high attainments in literature, history and astrology. Among all the royal families, Li Shen and Li Zhen, king of Yue, both enjoyed a high reputation and a good reputation among the people.
However, on the contrary, Li Zhen, king of Yue, was not as good at writing as Li Shen, but was fond of martial arts and good at riding and shooting. Therefore, the two princes of Wen and Wu were called ”Ji and Yue” to show people's respect for them.
Li Shen, the king of Ji Dynasty, is elegant, wise and graceful. He is also of medium height, but his figure is well maintained. He does not have a big belly as long as Li Zhi did. His red round collar robe fits well and is straight.
A pair of bright eyes, the whole person appears gentle and elegant, chin does not leave a beard, but is clean shaven, let people look like they can not help but feel the intention of intimacy.
”Minister Li Shengong greets his royal highness.” Li Shen walked slowly down the steps. After Li Hong got down from the station, he immediately led the others in the house to salute.
”Uncle Wang is welcome. My nephew Li Hong has met Uncle Wang.” Li Hong slowly returned the salute and said with a smile.
”Today, I really had to. I should have gone to the East Palace in person.”
”It's not good for you to be so polite. Brother Wang went to the east palace to invite Li Hong in person, which has already made my nephew feel uneasy. You are still greeting him at the door. If the Father knows about it, he will certainly reprimand my nephew for not knowing the etiquette.” Li Hong couldn't stand Ji Wang's pedantic spirit.
When he was with others, Li Shen, the king of Ji, was open-minded, cheerful and humorous. But with himself, he always put the way of being an official first. That's why Li Hong, though he admired Li Shen in his heart, was not willing to communicate with each other. He was too constrained.
”Well, your highness, please.” Li Shen's side is smiling, and it's not like standing at the door.
”Uncle Wang.” Li Hong suddenly found that his manners were not very bad. He had to compare with whom?
King Ji's residence occupies a large area in Luoyang. After walking for a short time, Ji Wang welcomed Li Hong into the main hall and sat down.
No matter whether Li Hong was a generation younger than Li Shen, King Ji, at this moment, his royal highness had to sit on the throne even if he was a relative on the first day of the lunar new year, and Li Shen could only sit beside him.
