After passing the archway of Shangsi, Ling Xiyao led most of Zhengxi's generals along Zhuque Avenue. On the contrary, because Ling Chuyao was not officially appointed as a leader, he didn't need to return to life with Ling Xiyao, so he took Zhuge Linlang back east to Chu Prince's Mansion first, and then went to see Emperor Yan after he was refreshed.
"Shangsi is bounded by Zhuque Street in the middle. To the east is called Dongxu, where the princes and married princesses live, and to the west is called Xixu, where people who have meritorious deeds live." Ling Chuyao waited for Ling Xiyao to leave. After that, he didn't take Zhuge Linlang back to the house immediately, but told her about the general structure of Shangsi.
Zhuge Linlang listened to Ling Chuyao as he walked forward. About half an hour later, they stopped in front of a house with carved beams and painted buildings. On the door plaque of the house, three characters were written with dragons and phoenixes: Chu Wangfu.
Zhuge Linlang followed Ling Chuyao into the gate and saw a man who looked like a fat butler who was over half a hundred years old and greeted him, "Master, you are finally back!"
When Zhuge Linlang looked at him, she felt like a steamed bun rolling over.
The royal housekeeper arrived in front of the two, looking at Ling Chuyao's eyes with excitement, his lips kept shaking, and he almost cried out immediately.
Perhaps it was because Ling Chuyao was a little relaxed when he returned to his place. He said, "Gu Steward, you are still so easily excited."
"Yes, yes, the prince has been here for so long, and he's been at war again, the old slave... The old slave is so worried that he can't eat and can't sleep at night. Now you come back safely, why isn't the old slave excited?" Gu Quan tremblingly. Finally said a complete sentence.
Ling Chuyao ignored the emotionally distressed old housekeeper. He pulled Zhuge Linlang in front of him and said to Gu Quan: "Okay, housekeeper Gu, come to meet the princess."
"Wang, Concubine?" Gu Quan, who was originally relieved because Ling Chuyao came back safely, seemed to be strangling his throat.
"Yes, this is the princess of the king, and the mistress of the palace of Chu, you go and call all the servants of the palace to the lobby, this king has something to say."
"Yes! The old slave has seen the princess, the princess and princess, please go and rest first, the old slave will let people order!" The steward Gu saw Zhuge Linlang and left with a smile on his face.
Ling Chuyao took Zhuge Linlang's hand and asked her, "You are going to freshen up and see you
Did they see them before going to freshen up? "
Zhuge Linlang thought for a while, and said, "Let's freshen up first, otherwise I can't see the appearance of being a servant."
"Come with me!" Ling Chuyao had no objection, pulling Zhuge Linlang forward, "Let's freshen up first, and then take you to meet the servants of the palace. After the meeting, we will meet with the emperor, the time is just right."
Zhuge Linlang didn't understand what she was just referring to, but she was used to seeing it first, so she didn't ask much.
Ling Chuyao led people to a very large yard, a huge yard. It was late summer, but there were still a few lotus flowers sporadicly blooming in the pool. The two of them walked from the pond to the Baiyu arch bridge. At the end of the bridge, two maids were already waiting. After getting off the bridge, they walked a few steps forward and arrived at a water pavilion. Ling Chuyao passed in front of them without squinting, and said by the way: "Order to go down, this king and the princess are going to take a bath, let people send bath water, and by the way, take people to the brocade pavilion to retrieve the princess' clothes that the king asked them to make. "
Zhuge Linlang didn't say a word when he came along, Ling Chuyao led people into the water pavilion and said: "This place is our bedroom, surrounded by water. No one will come here on weekdays. I usually wait for them at the end of the bridge. So, you may need to go to the door if you want to order something. If you have someone you can trust, you can also ask them to wait outside."
Zhuge Linlang nodded and said that he knew it. Ling Chuyao sat on a stool before the water came and asked Zhuge Linlang, "Do you have anything you want to ask?"
Of course I wanted to ask, but it’s not the time yet, but since Ling Chuyao has asked this question, she seems a little bit unskilled if she doesn’t ask, so she picks one of her most curious questions at the moment: "Just now we went all the way. Come, I found that the palace is located in the most central part of the East, and it faces Qinglong Street. It should be the best house in this area. It stands to reason that such a house should live in the most favored prince. You...really. Don't you have an emperor's heart?"
Zhuge Linlang's question is not unsharp. With such a strict hierarchical system in Yanjing, there is no possibility of accidents here.
Although Ling Chuyao always knew that Zhuge Linlang was smart, she didn't expect that she would actually associate a simple residence with the court.
He smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, maybe the father is trying to make up for it."
Zhuge Linlang just got through: "Compensation for you being sent to Daikin as a proton?"
"This is one of them."
Ling Chuyao wanted to make it clear to Zhuge Linlang. At this time, Gu Quan's voice suddenly came to mind outside the door: "Princess Wang, the hot water has been delivered to the penthouse, and the princess's clothes are also ready."
Ling Chuyao stopped talking and replied: "I see, let's go on!"
After there was no sound outside, Ling Chuyao pulled Zhuge Linlang to the penthouse on the other side of the water pavilion, and asked her to wash away her exhaustion.
Most of the time on this journey was on the road, Zhuge Linlang hadn't taken a bath for a long time, and now that Ling Chuyao said that she was not in a hurry, then she had to wash away the dust on the way.
An hour has passed since the two of them have finished packing. Zhuge Linlang is now wearing the clothes Ling Chuyao asked to prepare for her. It is also red, but there is a little more indescribable than the clothes Zhuge Linlang wore before. Charm.
Probably because of the material of the clothes! Zhuge Linlang thought.
Because Zhuge Linlang was born as a military commander, she often didn't care about the clothes she wore. When she arrived at Dayan, she didn't need to show her as a military commander anymore, so Ling Chuyao ordered her to prepare her clothes made of Dayan's best skein, and she walked like clouds and flowing water, and it was very elegant.
Ling Chuyao looked at Zhuge Linlang who had come out after changing his clothes, but he couldn't look away for a while.
"What's the matter? Does it look weird? I'll go and change it! I'm not used to dressing myself." Zhuge Linlang was a little inexplicably at a loss when he saw that Ling Chuyao hadn't spoken.
"No," Ling Chuyao stopped her, "It's very beautiful." So when he saw that he wanted to hide her, no one would show it!
"Um..." Zhuge Linlang was stunned in place.
"Let's go, let the people in this palace meet their mistress!" Ling Chuyao said.
After coming out of the main courtyard, there is a road directly to the study in the outer courtyard. The front of the study is the lobby that is used when there are important events on weekdays. This is a corridor, but there is another lake under the corridor. According to Ling Chuyao, this lake is the same as the lake in the main courtyard, except that it is cut off in the middle.
