Chapter 117 Crown Princess

Xixia is now very powerful, even slightly stronger than the Song Dynasty.

There is no shortage of common things in the Xixia Palace.

To match the delicacies of mountains and seas, silk and satin are certainly not bad.

Although Li Qinglu is a princess of Xixia, she is not a prince after all, so she naturally misses a lot of social activities on weekdays.

In addition, this royal family and nobles are far different from ordinary people's homes, where they can't be seen when they look up and look down.

If there is nothing to do, I usually won't go to visit.

Li Qinglu lives deep in the palace and has little entertainment on weekdays.

However, it has been a bit too much for fun these days.

She never expected that Chen Xuanzhen was like a dog, with so much energy that he could not stop.

If it weren't for the experts from the Xixia First Grade Hall who had been summoned before, it would have caused trouble, and she would have to prepare some excuses.

I'm afraid she won't be able to get up today.

Although she left the palace, she couldn't bear to leave Meng Lang, so she asked Chen Xuan to follow him disguised as a guard all the way.

Chen Xuan followed her around the palace and clearly noticed that there were many more patrolling guards in the palace.

"Your Highness, do you have so many guards patrolling on weekdays?"

Li Qinglu glanced at him faintly, and there was no need to say more about the meaning beyond these words.

It was probably Chen Xuan's fault for sneaking into her bedroom and causing so much trouble.

Chen Xuan didn't know the reason, so he just took it as such when he saw Li Qinglu winking.

Li Qinglu is going to see her father to pay her respects today.

The current Emperor of Xixia is not Li Yuanhao, but Li Yuanhao's son Li Liangzuo.

Naturally, it is unlikely that Crown Princess Li Qiu Shui will show up.

Chen Xuan had no intention of joining in the fun, but Li Qinglu didn't force him.

But before parting, she seemed to have thought of something and said softly.

"You said, if I ask my father to find a son-in-law, would you be willing to stay with me?"

"It depends."

Chen Xuan agreed simply, but it made Li Qinglu roll her eyes.

Although she was resentful in her heart, Chen Xuan was extremely skilled in martial arts and sneaked into her palace to do bad things.

To put it bluntly, he is an evil thief.

Li Qinglu had no way to control him. Besides, the two of them had already talked about recruiting a son-in-law a few days ago.

Chen Xuan also expressed his attitude that he could marry Li Qinglu, but he would not stay in Xixia.

Although Li Qinglu was angry, she also knew that he was from the Song Dynasty, and he was afraid that he would not stay in Xixia for a long time. This matter was left unresolved.

After a few simple words, Li Qinglu went to another hall.

Chen Xuan stood waiting outside the palace gate. He originally planned to wait for her to come back before going back to play new tricks.

Unexpectedly, after a quick glance, I suddenly noticed a familiar figure flying past on the roof of the main hall not far away.

"Tong Lao?"

He raised his eyebrows, naturally he would not stand so stupidly.

After finding some excuses, he walked directly to the corner, jumped up, and chased after the Tianshan Child Elder.

The Tianshan Child Mother passed quickly on the ridge of the hall, and in the blink of an eye she jumped into a courtyard.

Chen Xuan followed her quietly.

The number of guards in the palace has obviously more than doubled.

In the courtyard, four guards came from east to west, followed by four more guards from the west.

Eight people patrolled across the area, and there were almost no blind spots.

And looking at the physical appearance and temperament of these eight people, it is obvious that their martial arts are not weak.

Chen Xuan stood on the eaves, watching the Tianshan child's grandmother hiding in the corner without saying a word, deliberately wanting to see what this girl wanted to do.

Not long after, there was a brief gap in the imperial guard's inspection.

The Tianshan Child Elder quickly rushed into the courtyard and jumped into the palace wall.

When I entered another courtyard, another patrol came over.

There are so many masters in this palace, if they discover his whereabouts, they will stir up a hornet's nest.

Not to mention Tianshan Tonglao, even Chen Xuan had to stay away.

Tianshan Child Mother obviously also knew the danger of sneaking into the palace. She jumped into the courtyard like a kitten and stopped moving or making a sound.

Chen Xuanzheng felt strange. He did not expect that four more people came out from behind the courtyard wall and patrolled past quietly.

These four people appeared so suddenly that people never expected that there would be someone hiding in that corner.

Chen Xuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows secretly for a moment, thinking to himself.

"You actually know the time when the secret guards are patrolling? It's not in vain that Child Elder and the Crown Princess have been in love and killed each other for so many years."

After the four people had gone far away, Tianshan Child Elder poked her head in from the alley in the corner of the yard.

There are high walls on both sides of the alley. It is actually a gap between the two palaces, not really a straight road.

Thanks to her careful thinking, she was able to find such a route.

After passing through this narrow passage, she crouched in a peony bush for a moment, waiting until eight imperial guards passed by and passed through a large rockery.

This rockery winds to the north and stretches for fifty or sixty feet. It is a large-scale mountain scenery.

Every time Tianshan Child Elder walked a few feet, she would secretly mark the right time to stop and hide.

Soon after each hiding place, there would be imperial guards patrolling by, as if the Tianshan boy's grandmother was the manager of the imperial guards.

She knew exactly where someone was patrolling and when a guard was passing by.

Thanks to her, Chen Xuan followed her and did not alert the patrolling guards.

After walking like this for half an hour, I saw that the surrounding buildings were obviously much smaller and simpler, and there were obviously fewer patrolling guards. In the end, they were almost gone.

Tianshan Child Mother walked quickly towards a large stone house on the left front.

In front of the stone house was an open space without any cover. If you walked too slowly, you might be discovered.

She took a breath, jumped up and dodges in front of the stone house, and quietly hid inside.

Chen Xuan waited for her to enter before drifting in. He saw that the walls of the stone house were made of green strips of stone and were unusually thick.

The gate is made of a row of eight original pine trees cut into half and nailed together, making it look particularly heavy.

Just now, the Tianshan child's grandmother hid in, but the wooden door happened to be not closed tightly.

A burst of cold air seeped out from inside the door, like a puff of white smoke.

"icehouse?"

Chen Xuan's heart moved and he continued to move forward.

The design of this ice cellar is quite strict, and there are several doors inside. The innermost door is exposed to cold air all year round.

There was already a thick layer of frost on the door.

At this moment, the door has been opened a few feet, and a cold air rushes towards the face.

"Did you get injured?"

Although no blood was seen along the way, Chen Xuan knew that the Tianshan Child Lao was running in a hurry when he saw the door that had not been closed in time.

Pushing the door open, you will be greeted by a narrow passage.

The closer we got inside, the colder the air became, and soon we saw a large block of ice all around, a large block of ice cut squarely.

Chen Xuan didn't bring any fire tips, so he could only go in based on his feeling.

After walking not long, he noticed a flickering fire reflected on the ice.

The firelight jumped from blue to red, which was very beautiful.

Chen Xuan's heart moved and he followed him quietly.

After walking around the ice cellar a few more times, he walked down the stone steps and reached the second floor.

Chen Xuan thought that it was almost done here, but he didn't expect that the fire was still going forward.

He chuckled and shook his head. He didn't know for a moment whether he should say that the Tianshan Child Elder was cautious or too cautious.

In this way, we walked all the way to the third floor, and there was another large stone room, which was also filled with ice cubes like the previous ice cellar.
