After Transmigration: Building a Kingdom in Turbulent Times

Zhao Erlang rode his horse straight to the palace gates with his men.

The Imperial Guard on duty recognized him and was equally delighted, but still stopped him, calling an Imperial Guard to report immediately.

While blocking him, the guard explained to Zhao Erlang, "General, your return was sudden, any external official entering the palace must report in advance."

Zhao Erlang was not happy, "My sister and mother are in the palace, this Imperial Palace is my home, do I still need to report to you to return home?"

The Imperial Guard sweated profusely and quickly explained, "It’s not reporting to me, but to Your Majesty."

Zhao Erlang snorted, though very upset, he didn’t lose his temper, just stood there threatening, "I’m giving you a quarter of an hour, if you don’t let me in, I’ll break in!"

The guard who went to report naturally didn’t dare delay, and ran off to the main hall.

Lai Qing saw him panting heavily, somewhat displeased, and whispered, "Since when were you so panicked? Running is prohibited in the palace, do you want to lose your life?"

This rule is nonsense, wouldn’t you run if urgent military reports came?

Therefore, this rule is quite flexible, and the guard was not afraid of being punished for this matter, whispered, "Prince Qin is waiting at the palace gate."

He reminded, "Sir, Prince Qin is very angry being blocked at the palace gate."

Lai Qing widened his eyes, didn’t expect Zhao Erlang to return so soon, the emperor intended to send someone to meet him at the city gate tomorrow.

Lai Qing hurried into the hall.

But at this time Zhao Hanzhang was discussing matters with the ministers in a critical part, everyone’s faces were stern, Lai Qing didn’t dare to approach.

Ting He, who was grinding the ink for Zhao Hanzhang, looked up at Lai Qing, and he understood. Cautiously approached and whispered a few words in her ear.

Ting He turned and carried the teapot forward to pour tea for Zhao Hanzhang, whispered, "Your Majesty, Second Son has returned, blocked at the palace gate."

Zhao Hanzhang blinked in surprise, then was overjoyed, "Go to receive him."

Ting He smiled and nodded, retreated.

Lai Qing secretly gritted his teeth, full of jealousy.

But he did not dare; neither did he dare interrupt Zhao Hanzhang’s affairs, nor dare go to receive the potentially enraged Prince Qin.

Ting He left the hall, gathered some people, lifted her skirt, and quickly descended the steps, then ran towards the palace gate.

Before arriving, she heard Zhao Erlang’s angry yelling, Ting He panting and ran over, stopped Zhao Erlang, who was about to punch, "Second Son!"

Seeing Ting He, Zhao Erlang immediately retracted his fist and stood properly, causing those restraining him, Zhao Cai and several others, to nearly fall backward.

Zhao Erlang became cooperative, but still felt inexplicably wronged, "Sister Ting He, they’re not letting me home to see my sister and mother!"

Ting He quickly stepped forward, waved her hand to the guards, and held Zhao Erlang said, "They are just following protocol, without a Token, you naturally cannot freely enter and exit, Your Majesty thought you’d arrive tomorrow, even planned to meet you at the city gate."

Zhao Erlang, feeling wronged, said, "I missed my sister and mother, so I made the horse run faster, but isn’t this my home? Why do I still need others’ permission to return home?"

Ting He smiled, "This isn’t your home, it’s the place for court affairs, your residence is arranged at Dexing Hall, entering from the west palace gate is not far."

Zhao Erlang suddenly realized, "I entered the wrong gate."

"Yes, this is the main gate of Taiji Palace, do you know what Taiji Palace is? It’s where civil and military officials meet and Your Majesty handles state affairs, similar to a government office, how could it be home?" Ting He placed a Token in his hand and said, "But worry not, now you have this, you can freely enter the main palace gate in the future."

Only then did Zhao Erlang become happy, waved the palace Token in front of the guards, seeing them avoiding, he snorted, swaggered inside.

Ting He breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to the guards, promptly led Zhao Erlang to Taiji Palace.

When Zhao Erlang walked up to Taiji Palace, his face was filled with surprise, "Previously this place was shabby, now it’s fully repaired?"

He remembered he used to scavenge here, the roof was broken, things inside scattered on the ground.

Ting He laughed, "After Your Majesty ascended the throne, more court meetings and state affairs were held here, so naturally it had to be tidied up."

Zhao Hanzhang had already paused the discussion, when Ting He led Zhao Erlang inside, she halted her words, the siblings, upon meeting, were somewhat excited.

Zhao Erlang hurried forward, "Sister!"

Zhao Ming watched him bypass them, rush to the imperial desk, and couldn’t help but slightly twitch his eyes.

Zhao Hanzhang too was thrilled, stood up comparing their heights, then energetically clapped his shoulder, "Good lad, you’ve grown taller again!"
