With the sound of squeaking, the side door of Prince Wu's Mansion slowly opened. A man wearing a linen gown with wrinkles and muddy eyes looked left and right, and finally saw Li Kuan. He also looked up and down Li Kuan, and saw that he was dressed gorgeously and his crown was The official diadem saluted respectfully, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "Dare to ask what is this adult's worth?"
"Excuse me, Lao Zhang, let him pass the word from King Wu to Li Ke and say that Li Yun is coming to him!"
Li Kuan treats each other with courtesy. He is good to collect the bills, but the person in front of him is very old, and he is not the righteous person. He can be arrogant and domineering towards Li Ke. It doesn't have to be the case for others.
"His Royal Highness Chu!"
The old man's turbid eyes suddenly awake, trembling and hurriedly saluting, his rickety body looked a little flustered, Li Kuan smiled and said nothing, and motioned for him to pass the message as soon as possible. The gate of the mansion was closed, and it was obvious that the old man was really surprised, and hurried to report to Wu Wang Li Ke, who was his own master.
Bored, Li Kuan waited quietly in front of the Wu Prince's Mansion without rush or panic. He also went to the other Prince's Mansion as well. Whether it is Jin Dynasty, Wei Dynasty, or Jiangxia Dynasty, all are much larger than Wu Dynasty, not to mention their own residence, even the previous Chu Dynasty is more magnificent than Wu Dynasty.
As the current king of Wu, the gate of the palace is like his own facade, except for the blue brick and red walls and a pair of stone lions in front of the door, there is really little momentum in other places. In addition, the entire mansion did not exceed the etiquette system, and the rules were as good as Wu Wang Li Ke; on the contrary, the luxury of the Wei Wang Li Tai mansion, the Wu Wang mansion in front of us is like a villa, not luxurious.
After a long while, the main gate of the Wu Palace slowly opened, and Wu Wang Li Ke stepped over the threshold and walked towards Li Kuan. He thought the old housekeeper was joking. When he saw Li Kuan really coming with his own eyes, he felt a little in his heart: "Nothing does not go to the Palace of the Three Treasures!"
It is definitely not a good thing for Li Kuan to come this time. I learned that Li Kuan has already been in power. Among the many princes, no one can beat him. Even King Jin and King Wei have to work together to besiege, otherwise they will definitely be besieged. Excluded.
As a loser in the contest, Li Ke knows that Li Kuan's sudden visit is definitely something to find himself, and he guessed that it is not a good thing. Even with many thoughts, Li Ke was still very good at hiding his inner thoughts, with no flaws on his face, and he was very respectful in front of Li Kuan. Of course, he was both a prince and a brother, so he didn’t have to pray. Just nod your head, and then respectfully said: "His Royal Highness Chu!"
"His Royal Highness Wu doesn't have to be like this. Why do you and I are brothers need to be courteous?" Li Kuan smiled and pretended, and there was a chill in his heart. He felt that he was too hypocritical, but sometimes these methods are still necessary, or otherwise When he came up, he asked the teacher if it was his fault.
"Don't dare!" Li Ke replied modestly and politely. He was already worried. He felt that Li Kuan's smile contained a biting murderous intent, and the shuddering eyes seemed to swallow him, and his heart was tight: "Is he really? Are you here to find something?"
"Suddenly, I didn't pay a greeting in advance, so please don't be surprised if you ask His Royal Highness Wu!" Li Kuan apologized for his rude behavior. If the relationship between the two is good, there is no need for a greeting at all, but the two are brothers, so why not Close and feuding.
How dare Li Ke give a big word, and hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness is serious, you and I are brothers, why do you need to pay a greeting before coming? If His Royal Highness is free, you can come to my house anytime as a guest, and I will be my own. Accompany."
"Haha!... It's just what I want!" Li Kuan laughed heartily, "If that's the case, can we invite me into the house and our brothers might as well have a chat?"
The corners of Li Ke's mouth twitched. He really didn't expect that Li Kuan would take the initiative to enter the Wu Palace as a guest. Although the visitor is a guest, we must also see who the visitor is. He knows that Li Kuan is not good, but he can't lose courtesy in front of others. Moreover, Li Kuan is not only the king of Chu, but also Shang Shuling and Gyeonggi Province. Daxingtai, he really has the right to enter any place without hindrance.
If there is not enough reason, I am afraid that Li Kuan has no place in the whole Gyeonggi Province that he cannot go, even if it is the palace, he can go in and out freely. Li Ke thought a thousand times. He felt that Li Kuan’s trip must have a purpose, but he couldn’t see any clues. Moreover, Li Kuan took the initiative to speak. As the lord of a mansion, Li Ke could not turn the door out, pretending to be smiling. She tried her best to keep a smile, and replied embarrassedly: "I'm neglecting His Royal Highness King Chu, please enter the mansion quickly!"
Li Ke stretched out his hand to ask Li Kuan to go first, and he did not hit the smiley person. He was the guest, and Li Ke was the host. He couldn't really come forward by himself. What was it like? Therefore, Li Kuan smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, please!"
Li Ke nodded, and then took a step first, and Li Kuan walked side by side with him to enter the Wu Palace again. When he was in the staff department, he had come once before, but that time he came on business, and he didn't come with a purpose like he is now. The emotional difference between the front and the back is huge.
The front door slowly closed again, and the two brothers were speechless. Li Ke didn't know what Li Kuan wanted to do, so he couldn't speak freely; Li Kuan was familiar with him, looked around with a smile, and nodded in approval frequently. When the two of them passed through the wall of the screen, they entered the huge grounds of the Wu Wang Mansion, surrounded by flowers and trees, and from a distance, you could see buildings such as the tower and water pavilion.
Li Ke took Li Kuan to the other courtyard with mountains and waters. They did not enter the main hall or the guest hall. The two of them passed through the long corridor and walked over the small arch bridge. They heard the sound of water rushing from a distance. Li Kuan looked intently, a small pool came into view. Next to the pool, there was a clean courtyard. Behind the courtyard was a rocky mountain. There was the same rockery in the center of the pool. The bare rockery was neatly trimmed next to it. The water bamboo makes the monotonous rockery look unique.
When they walked over the arch bridge, perhaps the sound of footsteps alarmed the fish in the pool, and followed them desperately to swim with them. When they arrived at the other courtyard, Li Kuan discovered that there was a platform in front of the other courtyard, and even there was a platform beside it. fishing rod.
Li Kuan looked at the fishing rod suspiciously, but he heard Li Ke smile: "It is a pleasure to fish in your leisure time!"
Li Kuan smiled and nodded in agreement. He really didn't have the patience for fishing, mainly because he didn't know how to fish. After all, the place where he lived in his previous life was the south, which was originally a land with plenty of water, but he had no patience for fishing, and he basically failed once. Even if he is not good at fishing now, he can eat fish.
Li Kuan looked a little helpless in Li Ke's eyes again. He knew that it was not that Li Ke really wanted to fish, but because he had been excluded from the core of power. Now he is not even a foil. It happened that there was time to fish and cultivate his patience. Li Kuan did not sympathize with his experience, nor gloated at his misfortune, but acted calmly, as if he hadn't seen it.
