Wu Han took her through the streets and alleys for almost half an hour, and finally came to a road paved with bluestones. This road was very wide and could accommodate three carriages walking side by side. It was wider than the road at the city gate.

It is much wider. There are green locust trees on both sides of the road, but there are no leaves on the road. There are no pedestrians passing by. There is a two-story white marble archway at the intersection, with carved matte gold official script on it.

The three characters of 'Dongning Street'.

"Why is there no one on this street?" Chaoyan asked curiously. "Because today's banzai decree prohibits ordinary people from walking in front of the mansions of princes and nobles, so no one dares to walk on the road in front of the Chitose mansion." Wu

As he spoke, Han took her through the gatehouse and came to the door of a large mansion. The mansion had green tiles and red walls, and a high-hanging plaque read "Prince Ning's Mansion" in three large characters, also with a blue background.

There are gold characters; the vermilion door is inlaid with eighty-eight sixty-four golden nails. In front of the door are two pairs of stone lions with teeth and claws, carved lifelike, with angry eyes and bared teeth, looking majestic and majestic. There are also eighteen at the door.

The sergeants wearing helmets and holding silver spears were guarding, solemnly and solemnly.

"Is General Wu here?" One of them, who seemed to be an officer, saw Wu Han. He hurriedly walked down the steps to catch the reins in Wu Han's hand. Then he saw Chao Yan sitting on the horse beside him, strangely

Question: "General Wu, who is this girl...?"

"Oh, this girl from Chaoyan is a young girl we met among the people at Chitose."

Wu Han jumped off his horse and replied, then led Chao Yan's horse to a place with a dismounting stone and stopped.

Chaoyan stepped on the steps-like dismounting stone and got off the horse steadily. Then Wu Han signaled her to get off the horse and followed her into the palace gate.

I saw blue bricks paving the ground inside, and the courtyards on both sides were filled with tall pines and cypresses. The green shade looked very cool. Behind the pines and cypresses were two rows of large tiled houses with green glazed tiles, and in front of them was a road carved from a single piece of white marble.

The patterns on the wall that welcomes the door are as natural as ink and wonderfully form a landscape painting. When you go around the wall that welcomes the door, you can see a small hall at the back. The front and rear doors are open, and you can clearly see that there is a large hall behind.

In the courtyard, there were six servants in green clothes and green hats standing in front of the door, guarding the door motionlessly.

Wu Han didn't even look at these people. He led Chao Yan directly through the two doors of the palace. He saw another circle of houses inside. In the open space in the middle yard, except for the path paved with blue bricks, there were all kinds of plants.

There were beautiful flowers blooming in various colors. They were really beautiful, but I couldn’t recognize their names.

When Chao Yan saw it, he was secretly stunned: He didn't expect that a prince's mansion in the world would be so big. The courtyard alone would have several floors, right? No wonder people say that the mansion of gods in heaven is the home of emperors on earth. Although this place is not as luxurious as the heavenly palace, it is also

Majestic. As a maid-level immortal, I am so lucky!

Wu Han led Chao Yan through a long corridor, then into a courtyard and around a rockery. Along the way, he met many maids and servants who were well-dressed and adorned with jewelry. These people just looked at it strangely.

He glanced at her, but didn't even ask, and just went his own way.

Finally, Wu Han finally stopped in front of a small room. The door of the room was open, and an old man in Tsing Yi was sitting inside reading a book. He stopped when he heard their footsteps.

"General Wu? What brought you here? Is this girl...?" The old man looked at Chao Yan strangely and asked doubtfully.

"Steward Qin!"

Wu Han bowed his hand to the old man, then introduced Chaoyan and said: "This girl Chaoyan is our foster sister adopted by Qiansui from the private sector. Miss Chaoyan, Qiansui will help you to have a good life. Miss Chaoyan, this is the housekeeper of the palace.

Qin Yi, if you need anything, just go to him directly."

"Ah, it turns out to be Miss Chaoyan, I'm so rude."

After hearing this, Butler Qin immediately bowed to her respectfully.

Wu Han on the side said: "Okay, I have already sent the person. You can safely arrange for Miss Chaoyan. The prince has gone to the palace to meet the saint. I will take my leave first."

"General, let's go slowly. We won't see you off." Qin Yi had no time to take care of Wu Han. He only looked at Chao Yan carefully from head to toe, and finally said: "My lady, the journey was full of dust and fatigue. It must have been hard work.

Come. Miss, please come with me."

As he said this, he led Su Lingjiao through a corridor through the mountain, and then came to a house. A group of beautiful maids came out to greet Butler Qin and said blessings.

"Girls, this is Miss Chaoyan, the step-sister of our Mr. Chitose. Please wait carefully and make sure there are no mistakes. Do you hear me?"

Butler Qin explained to these little girls seriously.

"Here." The maids nodded obediently, and then came up to Chao Yan cordially and said, "Miss, seeing that you are so dusty, you must be tired from the journey; please come with us into the house to bathe and change clothes."

"Why……?"

Chaoyan was a little confused about the situation, so he had to be led by these little maids to take a bath and change clothes.

…

At this time, in the palace, Qin Zheng was kneeling in the main hall, respectfully bowing to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair: "My brother Qin Zheng, I would like to pay my respects to your majesty."

"Get straight." The emperor said condescendingly on the high dragon chair. His voice was lazy and cold, the curtain in front of him was half-draped, and the face wearing a crown was blurred in the shadow, making it impossible for the people kneeling below to see.

Clear his face.

I just heard the emperor say: "Qin Zheng, you have been away for several months. Tell me what you have seen and heard along the way."

"Your Majesty, I have tasted a lot of delicious food while traveling around the mountains and rivers." Qin Zheng looked very satisfied and recalled, "The roasted whole lamb from Qiongzhou has crispy skin and tender meat; the barbecue noodles from Tongxian County,

The strength is smooth; the girls from Yunyang are pretty and lovely..."

"Okay!" The emperor interrupted him impatiently, "I'm asking you, do the common people have any comments about me?"

"Your Majesty, you know that I am only interested in delicious food and beauties. As for other things, I really can't muster the energy to pay attention to them." Qin Zheng replied dully, "I just want to eat enough."

That's enough, it doesn't matter what they have to say."

"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed loudly after hearing this, and the sound echoed in the empty sky of the huge palace.

He said: "Qin Zheng, you! You are really a guy who doesn't deserve your name! I remember that when Emperor Taizu was still alive, he always praised your talent when meeting people, saying that you would grow up to become something great in the future. I gave you this name

Qin Zheng means that you will be a diligent and caring monarch in the future. I didn’t expect that you are not only invisible to everyone now, but also become so mediocre and cold. Hahaha! He also made mistakes sometimes!"

At this point, he laughed even more exaggeratedly, bending over and covering his stomach. It took a long time to stop. Then he looked down at Qin Zheng meaningfully and whispered: "If that old thing is still alive, I really want him to see

Look what his most precious grandson has become!"

Qin Zheng also smiled in agreement, as if he didn't mind.

"Report one by one!" At this time, a eunuch from outside the palace ran into the palace door, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Zuo Qing, the Minister of Rites, asked to see you. He said that he has treasures to offer to Your Majesty."
