In the northeast corner of the palace of the king of Chu, there is a north mountain, and there is a hexagonal Zhilan Pavilion on the top of the mountain, which is the highest place in the palace and the forbidden place of the palace, and only the dependents of the palace can climb the mountain.

Standing in the Zhilan Pavilion, you can not only overlook the panoramic view of the palace, but also see farther, the bustle in Junshan City, the smoke and waves on the surface of Junshan Lake, and the area of the river in the north can be seen in full view.

Back then, the old King of Chu chose to build the palace here, half of the reason was because of this northern mountain.

After the spring breeze and drizzle, it is a pleasant breeze and smooth.

During the period of recuperation in the palace, Zhao Yi's favorite place to stay is the Zhilan Pavilion on the top of the North Mountain.

The serious injuries suffered in the first battle of Huaizhou City recovered quickly, which made Zhao Yi feel incredible, when he was in the state army, the battle of Guzang, Zhao Yi's injuries were not lighter than this time, but that time he was in bed for a month before he could barely walk on the ground.

The reason why he was able to recover so quickly this time was entirely due to the "clear stream" overflowing from the "gray mist" in his qi sea acupoint.

The mysterious "clear stream" can not only repair the meridians, but also nourish the acupoints of the miraculous effect, it is not an exaggeration to call it the sweet spring of fairy dew.

That "gray mist" suddenly appeared in the Qi Sea Acupoint after Zhao Yi arrived at Tianfu Hall, and even Zhao Yi himself didn't know where it was.

Of course, he didn't know how to cultivate to make it stronger.

Zhao Yi lay on the railing in the pavilion, looking up at the top of the hexagonal pavilion of Zhilan Pavilion, seeing that the structure there was exquisite, the paintings were exquisite, and it seemed to imply the truth of all things in nature, Zhao Yi couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of those craftsmen in his heart.

Although the first-class craftsmen are ranked second to last in the upper nine streams, Zhao Yi feels that craftsmen have the most important skills of the word "concentration", if they can't be focused to the extreme, how can they build so many palaces, pavilions, landscapes and gardens, as well as so many kitsch mechanisms and gadgets in this world.

This is a state of mind, a state of mind of a monastic.

A gust of mountain wind blew, like a pair of warm hands brushing through Zhao Yi's body, making him close his eyes comfortably.

After a long while, Zhao Yi opened his eyes, and there was a comfortable feeling on his face, and he turned his gaze to the railing on the other side of the pavilion, where a thin and slender figure leaned on, dressed in a black robe, holding a sword in his arms.

This is the personal guard arranged for him by his uncle, the so-called personal guard, the person who has to follow him even if he eats,, and sleeps.

As soon as Zhao Yi saw this person named Wu Jian, he thought he was a woman, so he politely called Wu Jian girl, but he was glared at by others, and said coldly that he was a man.

However, Zhao Yi has always been skeptical about this matter, he has carefully looked at Wu Jian, I don't know if it is because of his clothes, or because of his own development, Wu Jian's chest is not as high as an ordinary woman, but in addition to this, whether it is Wu Jian's face or her overall appearance, it is too much like a woman.

There were several times when Zhao Yi almost had to use the witch sword in order to find out the truth.

However, when Zhao Yi saw the grim expression on Wu Jian's face and the sword he was holding in his arms, he dispelled this itchy thought.

Wu Jian, who was leaning on the railing, stood up, looked down at Zhao Yi who was lying on the railing, and said expressionlessly: "Shizi, we should go back." ”

His voice was crisp, but the tone of Wu Jian's speech was so cold that he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Zhao Yi got up reluctantly, then stretched his waist, glanced at Wu Jian, and joked: "I said Wu Jian, are you my personal guard, or my uncle?" ”

Wu Jian quickly glanced around, and his mouth was still cold: "Wu Jian is only responsible for the personal safety of the prince, and is not responsible for anything else. ”

Zhao Yi rolled his eyes.

After a few days, Zhao Yi had already become familiar with the temperament of Wu Jian, and when he met a person who was even more dull than himself, Zhao Yi felt that he seemed to be a cheerful and lively person.

However, since Zhao Yi left the army, he has indeed been a lot more cheerful and lively, and he can also take the initiative to make a few jokes about a dull person.

The way down the mountain is a long stone step paved with bluestone slabs, as for how many levels there are in total, Zhao Yi has no time to count.

Zhao Yi walked in front, Wu Jian walked behind, as long as Zhao Yi didn't speak, Wu Jian was silent, and even walked quietly.

After descending the mountain, the two walked east along a gravel road, and the two sides of the road were planted with plane trees, forming a boulevard. The two of them walked about a mile forward, and a lake appeared in front of them, and by the lake was a field of withered yellow and green reeds.

The two of them turned south along the embankment of the lake, and after a cup of tea, they entered the courtyard covered by a sycamore, and above a carved gate, the word "Taibai" was written in gilt.

This is Zhao Yi's current residence, which used to be called "Lanyuan", which was the residence of the eldest daughter of the old Chu King, Jin Xuan Weng, who married into the Zhao Mansion, and this place has been empty.

This "Orchid Garden" is close to Beishan, close to Yahu Lake, and not far from Yunmeng Pavilion in the south, the environment is quiet and elegant, and the old King Chu let Zhao Yi live here.

When Zhao Yi moved in, he felt that "Lanyuan" did not look like a man's residence, so he had the idea of changing his name, and after thinking about it, he thought of the Taibai knife given to him by his father-in-law, so he took "Taibai" as the name of his new residence.

Lord Deyang Weng, who was on the side at the time, joked about him, saying that if the eldest sister came back to the palace and learned that the Lanyuan where she lived had been changed to Taibai, I don't know if the board would beat him.

Zhao Yi touched the back of her head and smirked, saying that if the eldest sister really wants to fight, then let the eldest sister fight, as long as she is happy.

In addition to the witch sword, there are also four maids living in Taibai Garden, who are responsible for Zhao Yi's daily life.

Since living in Taibai Garden, Zhao Yi really feels that he has returned to his previous palace life.

Familiar yet unfamiliar.

Zhao Yi has never left the palace since he came back from Huaizhou, and of course he has never been to Jingfu again, and during his recuperation, his old father-in-law came to Taibai Yuan to see him.

Weng and his son-in-law chatted casually, but Zhao Yi found that the father-in-law in front of him, whether in his behavior or speech, no longer showed contempt for him, especially when Jing Hu talked about the battle of defending the city in Huaizhou, he praised Zhao Yi very much.

Jinghu's praise for Zhao Yi was not because Zhao Yi was the prince of the king of Chu, but as an army commander, he praised his subordinates for their outstanding performance.

Perhaps at this moment, this important minister of the Chu State really felt that Zhao Yi was worthy of being his son-in-law.

Zhao Yi climbed Beishan today to relax, there is another reason, on the first day of the first month of next month, the old king of Chu will hold a ceremony for him to canonize the prince, and on the same day, he will marry Jinglan.

He didn't object to marrying Jinglan, but it was so sudden that he was not prepared at all.

What's more, there is a key point, in Zhao Yi's heart, he always feels that he has to give Lu Qingxin an explanation.

These days, he often takes out the short sword he carries close to him, and Lu Qingxin's cold and stubborn face often appears in his mind.

There needs to be a knot between the two of them, and after that, they can make a new beginning.

It's just that Zhao Yi can't say it to the people around him, no one is suitable, so he can only hide it in his heart, looking forward to seeing Lu Qingxin again one day.

More than a few days have passed, and it is already the middle of April, and the day of the canonization of the prince of Chu is getting closer and closer.

The neighbors in Junshan City are talking about this matter, and there are too many speculations about this prince of Chu who suddenly appeared, but no matter what kind of speculation there is, most people are very satisfied with His Royal Highness the prince.

In the first battle of Huaizhou City, this prince has become the god of war, can he still be dissatisfied?

But all the men of Chu who have some blood have let out their words, if anyone is not satisfied with our god of war son, Lao Tzu will be anxious with him.

In addition to the matter of establishing the prince, there is another thing, the people prefer to discuss it in private, on the same day as the canonization ceremony of the prince, His Royal Highness the prince will also marry the eldest lady of Jingfu, Jinglan.

Within one day, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World took all the good things in the world, and he really "envied others".

It can be said that some people are happy and some people are sad, or it can be said that there is sorrow in the wall and joy outside the wall.
