Outside the palace of Settle down.

Liu Yao looked at this solemn mansion gate, and a faint warm current rose in her heart, is this her home?

It's been a long time since I came to this era, from not adapting to being completely integrated here, people are not grass and trees can be ruthless, everything here has planted a seed of warmth in my heart.

"Yining, this is our home." Liu Yao took Meng Yining's hand and stood outside the gate of the mansion, pointing to this stable palace and said.

"It's just that I don't know if it has been ransacked by the rebels, after all, the entire clan has run away from me as a stable king, how could the Wei army let go of my mansion?" Liu Yao added with a wry smile.

Meng Yining just held Liu Yao's arm tightly, she never cared about what Liu Yao's identity was and what kind of character she would become in the future, she only knew that she liked this person, although the two were only together to accomplish a political purpose.

"Things can be repurchased after they have been looted, but finally I don't have to live in the barracks anymore." Meng Yining said coquettishly.

"I've wronged you this time." Liu Yao stretched out her hand and touched Meng Yining's forehead, full of love.

"You say, we haven't gotten married yet, and I'm moving to your palace like this, will you Central Plains people say something?" Meng Yining asked Liu Yao with a wink, a little worried about whether he would be too unreserved, they all seem to like to be reserved and quiet.

"Who dares to say anything? You see that my palace is quite magnificent, ordinary people can't live here, who dares to say you, he must be jealous of you! Liu Yao said with a smile, he still has modern ideas in his bones, but he doesn't care about these heavy etiquette.

Meng Yining smiled, and finally heard the answer she wanted to hear.

The door of the mansion was not locked, and was pushed open by Liu Yao, and a faint fragrance came to the nose, and I thought that what came into view was a broken and dilapidated courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the courtyard was in full swing, several servants and maids were cleaning and arranging incense burners in the courtyard, and everything in the house was similar to before Liu Yao left, and Liu Yao was stunned for a moment.

"Your Highness is back!" A servant looked up and saw Liu Yao entering the door, and immediately shouted.

Another servant hurriedly trotted over to the house.

"What's going on?" Liu Yao looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, and jumped.

These subordinates are also old people in the former mansion, although there are not as many people as before, but these faces are all familiar to Liu Yao.

"Hahaha! Brother Wang is finally back. I heard a hearty voice, and a well-dressed young man hurried out of the house.

"It's Aji?" Liu Yao was a little puzzled at first, but then recognized that the person who came was his cousin Liu Ji, the king of Anping.

Liu Ji is the son of Liu Li, the first king of Anping, the nephew of Emperor Liu Chan, and Liu Yao are the second sons, but Liu Li, the king of Anping, died early, and the title was inherited by Liu Ji's brother Liu Yong, but Liu Yong was bedridden because he fell on a horse, and soon died, leaving only a young son Liu Cheng, as a result, Liu Cheng died early, and the title of King of Anping floated to Liu Ji's body, which can be said to be the throne that fell from the sky.

"Tut-tut, Brother Wang, your outfit is really heroic, envy me!" Liu Ji's eyes were attracted by Liu Yao's bright silver armor, and now Liu Yao really looked like a mighty general.

"When did Ah Ji learn to be poor." Liu Yao joked very calmly that he still had a good impression of him, the royal brother.

Liu Yao, as a prince, has no chance to enter the court, not to mention Liu Ji, an ordinary clan, who is even more idle than Liu Yao, but Liu Ji has a cheerful personality and morality, and has no conflict of interest with Liu Yao, and the relationship between the two is okay.

Then Liu Ji turned his gaze to Meng Yining next to Liu Yao, and exclaimed again, and praised it:

"Brother Wang has a better vision than me, I thought that Brother Wang was not close to women, I haven't married a princess at the age of twenty-four, and I have more than a dozen side concubines in my younger brother, it turns out that Brother Wang is rather lacking than indiscriminate, where did I find such a beautiful beauty."

Liu Yao frowned, thinking that this Liu Ji is still so unscored, how dare he say anything.

"The little brother has seen the sister-in-law of the king!" Liu Ji smiled and bowed to Meng Yining.

Meng Yining is beautiful in her heart, she is praised for her beauty, and she will be happy if she is a woman.

"The concubine has seen His Highness." Meng Yining smiled and bent down to perform the Han court etiquette.

Since the person in front of him calls Liu Yao the royal brother, he must also be a member of the royal family, so it is naturally not wrong to call him His Royal Highness.

"I haven't passed the door yet, what are you shouting sister-in-law!" Liu Yao pretended to be serious and said.

"Come on, I've come to the palace with you, and it's not a matter of time before I become a sister-in-law." Liu Ji pursed his lips and said disappreciatively.

Meng Yining just held back a smile and looked at Liu Yao with a blank eye, the etiquette just now was equivalent to acquiescing to the identity of this sister-in-law.

Liu Yao wanted to skip this topic quickly, and then continued, I don't know what else he, the royal brother, would say, even more incomprehensible, so he pointed to these servants in the mansion and asked:

"Aji, what's going on? Why weren't the servants in the mansion dismissed by the Wei army? ”

Liu Yao didn't believe that Wei Jun would be kind enough to keep everything in his family for him.

Liu Ji replied with a smile: "This is all the credit of the younger brother, after Deng Ai entered the city, he did not commit any crime against the royal mansion, but all the servants in the palace were dismissed, didn't I hear that the Han army had entered the city, and I quickly recalled the servants in the royal brother's mansion to clean up in advance to welcome the return of the royal brother!" ”

Liu Yao waved his hand to signal Liu Ji to stop, and asked again: "The blockade of the Wei army is so serious, how do you know that I will come back, and maybe I will die in Fucheng Pass." ”

Liu Ji looked at Liu Yao like a fool, I don't know why he asked this question, and said: "After the Wei army entered the city, they investigated the members of the royal family, but they never found you, and almost turned Chengdu City upside down, but later I learned that you ran away, and you led the troops to fight back, this matter is still passed on by the Wei army, you have made a great contribution, don't forget the little brother in the future!" ”

Liu Yao only knew why Liu Ji was so enthusiastic at this time, it seems that he has really made a great contribution this time, I am afraid that he will soar to the sky, Liu Ji is an idle person, presumably now he is going to hug his thighs and find some errand to do.

"Thanks to Brother Wang, otherwise I wouldn't even have a place to live here, so stay in the mansion today and have a few drinks with Brother Wang!" Although Liu Yao knew Liu Ji's purpose, he could reach out and not hit the smiling person, and it was not a bad thing to have one more ally.

Liu Ji showed a smile that was more ugly than crying when he heard this, and said repeatedly: "Don't say goodbye, brother, even a mouse in your house has to starve to death, what kind of wine do you drink, let's come to my house another day, there are all kinds of wine and beauties." ”

Liu Yao just smiled faintly, he was just polite, but when he heard Liu Ji's words, he still persuaded in a deep voice:

"Now that the war in Shuzhong is raging, and the people are already miserable, you better be a little thrifty, it's a miracle that the Wei army didn't copy your mansion!"

Liu Ji smiled: "This brother Wang doesn't have to worry, as soon as the Wei army entered the city, I lost the things that should be hidden, and there was not even a set of new clothes in the house. It disgusted me. ”

Even though Liu Yao was a serious person, he was amused by Liu Ji's words at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, it's better to be simple after all, and the people are not having a good time." ”

Liu Ji nodded, he could be regarded as listening to Liu Yao's words, but whether he could do it was another matter.

"The younger brother will follow Brother Wang's teachings, then don't disturb Brother Wang and sister-in-law Wang, take your leave first, and you will definitely invite Brother Wang to come to the house for a drink on the next day." Liu Ji bowed and said.

"Okay, Brother Shu Wang is not far away, bring it to the old lady for me, and after dealing with the matter at hand in two days, I will go to the old lady to say goodbye." Liu Yao also bowed back and said.

The old lady Liu Yao said in her mouth is Liu Ji's biological mare Princess Ma, because Liu Yao's mother has passed away, some of the memories retained by the body vaguely remember that Liu Yao and Princess Ma have a very good relationship and serve her as a mother. Princess Ma is Liu Li's wife and the only daughter of the late Shenweitian general Ma Chao.

Liu Ji promised to bring the words, and then turned around and left without looking back, he knew that Liu Yao had just returned to Chengdu and had a lot of things to deal with, so he consciously did not continue to bother.

"You're very interesting, brother Wang!" After Liu Ji left, Meng Yining opened his mouth and said to Liu Yao.

"He's my uncle's son, and his personality is like this, and he doesn't have a score at all." Liu Yao sighed and explained.

Meng Yining was still a little rusty when he first arrived in the mansion, so Liu Yao pulled him to familiarize himself with the environment first, Meng Yining kept exclaiming, the grandeur of this palace was something she didn't imagine, and it was much more luxurious than the Wangzhai in Nanzhong.

There are not only the main bedrooms and study, but also various servants' rooms, large mansions, back gardens, front yards, and even the corridor in the courtyard is more than a dozen steps to buy an incense burner, but then Liu Yao let people put it away, from simple to luxurious, but from luxury to thrifty difficult, Liu Yao still deeply understands this.

After shopping, Meng Yining was still unsatisfied, and she was a little attached to the prosperity of the Central Plains, Liu Yao gently hugged her waist and said in a soothing tone:

"After the court calms down, I will go to my cousin emperor, Ming Media is marrying you to be my princess, and you will be the mistress of this mansion in the future."

Meng Yining snuggled up to Liu Yao, leaning on his shoulder, her black hair fluttering in the breeze.

"Who wants to be the mistress of your house, you came to Nanzhong to coax my father around, not only deceived the soldiers and horses of Nanzhong, but also deceived my father's only daughter, and my father died this time." Meng Yining pretended to be angry and said, showing the style of a small family.

Liu Yao's face was just full of happiness, this is probably the wrong time to meet the right person, in the Three Kingdoms era when the east and the west plundered people's lives like grass and mustard, it was already a luxury to have this only remaining warmth.
