Wu Wanfu led Zhu Ping'an to the gatehouse of Prince Yu's Mansion, verified his identity, and after registering, he received a badge for entering and leaving Prince Yu's Mansion from the gatekeeper. From then on, he could enter and leave Prince Yu's Mansion freely by showing the badge.
"Please in, sir." The doorman led Zhu Ping'an into Prince Yu's mansion.
"Please forgive me for not seeing you off as I have to fulfill my duties." Wu Wanfu stood at the door and clasped his fists to see him off.
"General Wu, please stay."
Zhu Ping'an bowed to Wu Wanfu in return, then smiled and bowed to the doorman to thank him, "Thank you for your help."
"Master Zhu, you are too polite. Please come this way." The doorman bowed and led the way.
Zhu Ping'an followed the gateman into Prince Yu's Mansion. The mansion was of high standards and large in size, but its decoration was far inferior to that of Yan's Mansion. It was only one level higher than Linhuai Marquis Mansion, except for Jingxiang Garden, which Li Shu decorated as well as Yan's Mansion.
The Prince Yu's Mansion is divided into three roads: the middle, east and west. These three roads divide the Prince Yu's Mansion into the Central Courtyard, the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard. The doorman led Zhu Ping'an to take the middle road, which was the road only for distinguished guests of the Prince Yu's Mansion.
The white marble arched stone gate is the entrance to the middle road. After entering the stone gate, you will reach the central courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion. Zhu Ping'an walked along the middle road and visited the garden, rockery, and lotus pond in turn. There were two wooden boats tied to the edge of the lotus pond, and there was a pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond. Then he arrived at the largest building in the central courtyard - Chang'an Hall.
Chang'an Hall is the tallest building in Prince Yu's Palace, and also the most important building in Prince Yu's Palace. It can be said that it is the center of Prince Yu's Palace. Prince Yu usually works in Chang'an Hall, and Prince Yu's ministers also work in this hall.
The Chang'an Palace is solemn and unadorned, with a bright corridor and a ridge, and it is majestic. The roof of the palace is covered with green glazed tiles that only princes can use, which makes it look very majestic. The height is half a meter lower than the Wuyi Palace in the Western Garden, and the area is about two-thirds of the size of the Wuyi Palace. This is a regulation that it cannot exceed the Western Garden.
The doorman led Zhu Ping'an into a room in the Chang'an Palace, had someone pour him a cup of hot tea, and then asked Zhu Ping'an to wait for a moment while he went to report to Prince Yu.
soon
Basically, the doorman had only been out for about two or three minutes. Zhu Ping'an only had time to take a sip of tea before he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Then he saw Prince Yu striding in excitedly with a brush in his hand. As he walked, the ink on the brush was splashed onto the ground and on his dragon robe.
The doorman who was following behind took two quick steps to just catch up with Prince Yu so as not to be left too far behind.
Prince Yu wore a Wusha Yishan crown and a crimson dragon robe with a round collar and wide sleeves. The workmanship was very exquisite. The lower part of the dragon robe was embroidered with "water feet" lines in silver thread, outlining the meaning of waves. If you look closely, you can see that the "water feet" waves are embroidered with overlapping mountains and rocks like ginger teeth, which is the so-called "river teeth and sea water".
The dragon robe Prince Yu was wearing was brand new and very valuable. It was one of the four-season costumes that Emperor Jiajing wore last time during the Chinese New Year this year.
But unfortunately, there were drops of ink on it, and the ink was not dry yet, so it was obvious that it had just been dropped.
Zhu Ping'an looked at Prince Yu, who was walking hurriedly with a brush in hand, not caring about the ink spilling on his dragon robe, and his heart was inevitably touched. It seemed that when the doorman went to report to Prince Yu, Prince Yu was practicing calligraphy. After hearing the news that he was coming to report, he put away his practice brush and walked hurriedly over.
Duke Zhou spit out food three times after eating and then stood up to greet his scholars.
Cao Cao welcomed Xu You with open arms;
Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times;
Although Prince Yu's pen-throwing greeting was far inferior to the classic stories in history of respecting the wise and the eagerness to seek talents, it was enough that Prince Yu could greet me with this attitude.
"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
Zhu Ping'an hurriedly put down his teacup, stepped forward to greet him, and bowed.
"Zihou, there's no need to be polite. Please take a seat... ... Ahem... Yesterday, when I received the imperial edict from my father, I was still a little bit unbelieving. At first, my father intended to transfer Zihou to be a lecturer in my mansion. I was very disappointed when I heard the news. I didn't expect that when the edict came down, my father would actually transfer Zihou to be a lecturer in my mansion. It can be said that it was a blessing from heaven."
Prince Yu took a step forward and stretched out his hands to support Zhu Ping'an. When his hands were halfway extended and the brush almost poked Zhu Ping'an's hand, Prince Yu noticed the brush in his hand. He coughed awkwardly, then handed the brush to the doorman who followed behind him, wiped his hands with his python robe, and then reached out to support Zhu Ping'an's hand and politely helped Zhu Ping'an to his seat.
Don't.
Can you please stop holding hands...
When Zhu Ping'an saw Prince Yu extending his hand, he had a bad feeling.
The ancients' way of expressing excitement and respecting the wise is poisonous...
really
Next second
Zhu Ping'an just watched Prince Yu hold his hands with both hands and let him sit down.
cough cough
Speaking of which, I really can't get used to having a boy hold my hand.
Although Zhu Ping'an knew that Prince Yu was very normal, he still couldn't help but shiver when he was treated so respectfully by Prince Yu. It was all the fault of the senior sister. In modern times, Zhu Ping'an was tricked by a certain senior sister who wore glasses and looked gentle and refined into watching a gay film. After watching only the beginning, Zhu Ping'an fled in panic and was unable to get out of the shadow for a whole month. In the end, he used the 100G island country ***** collected by his roommate to detoxify himself.
It was also from this time that Zhu Ping'an deeply realized that one should never judge a girl by her appearance.
Let’s get back to the point.
Because of a certain senior schoolmate's fault, Zhu Ping'an got goose bumps when Prince Yu expressed his respect to the wise and virtuous in a classic ancient way.
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
While inviting Prince Yu to take a seat, Zhu Ping'an withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.
call
After pulling his hand out, Zhu Pingan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was in the Ming Dynasty. If it was the Three Kingdoms...
Zhu Pingan couldn't help but think of the representative figure of the Three Kingdoms - Liu Bei, the emperor's uncle. Back then, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei swore brotherhood in Taoyuan. Then the iconic way of the Three Kingdoms of respecting the wise and seeking talents came out. The three of them ate and slept together... ... Then the emperor's uncle visited Zhuge Liang three times and slept on the same bed... ...
This is not unique to Liu Bei.
Zhou Yu.
The same is true for Zhou Yu, the handsome guy in the Three Kingdoms. Do you remember the chapter where Jiang Gan stole the book? Zhou Yu met his old classmate Jiang Gan. In order to express their friendship as classmates, he ate and slept with Jiang Gan. That was how Jiang Gan had the opportunity to steal Zhou Yu's letter.
If Liu Bei, Zhou Yu and others expressed their feelings like this in the Three Kingdoms...
Just thinking about it made Zhu Ping'an shudder.
"Zihou, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Ziming, quickly call the imperial physician to your residence..." When Prince Yu saw Zhu Ping'an shiver, he thought that Zhu Ping'an was feeling unwell.
"No, no, I'm fine, no need to bother me." Zhu Ping'an waved his hands quickly.
