"It's not too early, let's go!" Wang Junlin stuffed the last green pear into the mouth of the blood-maned horse, clapped his hands, and continued to the Jin Palace.

When Wang Junlin came to the front of the Jin Palace, a team of more than 100 guards drove out of the Jin King's Mansion with a carriage on the roof, and a purple pennant was inserted on the roof of the car, and the word 'Jin' was written on it, which was the carriage of the King of Jin.

"King's Landing!"

Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, saw Wang Junlin from afar, and leaned out of the car window and waved to him.

Wang Junlin immediately stepped forward and bowed to him deeply: "See His Royal Highness King Jin!" ”

Yang Zhao waved his hand casually, and said with a smile: "Last time you held a banquet in the mansion, the dishes you made were so delicious, especially the braised pig's trotters, this king has been thinking about it for the past few days, you must make it for this king to eat again another day." ”

Wang Junlin smiled and said, "As long as the prince wants to eat, I can make it for the prince at any time." However, if the prince wants to eat braised pig's trotters often, he can send the kitchen lady to study in my house, and the cook lady in my house has been taught how to do it by me. ”

"Ugh! By the way, your mansion has now been burned to ruins by thieves, and it can't be built in a short time, so this king suggests that you don't need to build it, sell that piece of land, and then buy another mansion directly. Yang Zhao said with concern.

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Last night......"

"Don't say it, this king knows what's going on, you can just get in the car and talk to me!" Without waiting for Wang Junlin to finish speaking, Yang Zhao said directly.

Although Yang Zhao is the king of Jin, he is warm and cheerful, and his age is similar to him, Wang Junlin likes the feeling of being with each other very much, and knows that he has something to say to himself, so he smiled happily: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

He handed over the blood-maned horse, the treasure lance, and the dragon bird knife to Niu Jinda, and got into Yang Zhao's carriage himself. The blood-maned horse is just like a child, whoever treats it well and gives it food will remember who is good, and Niu Jinda's act of selling a basket of green pears has successfully won its favor, at least it can get closer.

Wang Junlin entered the carriage only to find that Yang Zhao's carriage was unusually spacious, like a room, with desks and bookshelves, and there was a little scholar of eight or nine years old, and the carriage was very comfortable, covered with a thick carpet, and two paintings of Wei and Jin celebrities were hung on the walls of the carriage.

"Just sit down!"

Yang Zhao smiled and invited Wang Junlin to sit down, and then instructed the little scholar, "Pour a cup of tea for Qin Anhou." ”

Wang Junlin sat down opposite Yang Zhao and asked with a smile, "How did Your Highness know that I was coming over today?" ”

Yang Zhao showed a hint of cunning in his smile, and said with a smile: "This king not only knows that you are back, but this king also knows what happened in your mansion last night!" ”

Wang Junlin smiled slightly, and knew that Yang Guang had probably called Yang Zhao over to ask about his relationship, and by the way, he told Yang Zhao about last night's incident, so he also smiled: "Since Your Highness knows the whole story, I won't say more." ”

Yang Zhao nodded, his smile disappeared, his expression became serious, he looked at Wang Junlin, and said solemnly: "But with Yang Su's character, since you have broken the convention and don't use officialdom to deal with you, you must be careful yourself, don't be plotted, Yang Su has countless capable people and masters under his hands, and those people can do anything vicious." ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, I will definitely be careful." A cold light flashed in Wang Junlin's eyes, and he said with a grateful face.

Yang Zhao knew that Wang Junlin knew it in his heart, but he still continued in a serious tone: "After you came to the capital, you should have found a way to understand, the power pattern of the capital is very complicated, although your methods are powerful, but it is just that your enemy was afraid of the emperor's grandfather before, and only thought about dealing with you with officialdom methods, and now because of the bloody case in the Universiade Restaurant and the incident last night, this tacit understanding is completely out of control, at least when your enemy deals with you again, he will no longer care about these rules." ”

After a pause, Yang Zhao sighed again: "Last year, the imperial grandfather wanted to carry out the imperial examination to select talents and promote the talents of the poor family, so as to weaken the power of the gate valve family, but the Guanlong nobles and the Zhongxing family strongly opposed it in the court, even the imperial grandfather was forced to compromise, so he had to endure this breath, for this year, the imperial grandfather was not less angry about this matter, but he was helpless. ”

Wang Junlin nodded silently, the court civil and military officials, almost more than ninety percent of them came from the family of gate valves, the emperor wanted to use the imperial examination system to replace the family door valve recommended as the official system, which directly damaged the most fundamental interests of these gate valve families, and it was strange if he did not oppose it!

Wang Junlin has consciously understood a lot of these things these days, but now that he has the opportunity to listen to a royal family he trusts, he naturally will not let go of this opportunity, and immediately asked: "Can Your Highness tell me a little bit?" ”

"This king really wants to tell you briefly, the relationship is too complicated."

Yang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "In fact, the entire Great Sui is a gate valve world, there are many large and small families in the world, at least thousands, but the ones that can really be called the door valve are the more than twenty or so, and in the upper power structure, there are actually three major factions......

The two talked all the way, Wang Junlin didn't ask Yang Zhao where he was going, and before he knew it, the carriage slowly stopped, and the guards said outside: "Lord Wang, it's here!" ”

Wang Junlin looked out through the car window, only to see them parked in front of an extremely large mansion, Wang Junlin couldn't help but be stunned, although the last time he came was at night, but with his memory, of course he would not forget what this place was, but he asked in his mouth: "Your Highness, this is ......?"

Yang Zhao smiled slightly: "This is the mansion of this royal aunt, and the imperial aunt specially asked me this morning to bring you over for dinner in the evening." ”

Wang Junlin had a look of surprise and flattery on his face, but he felt bitter in his heart, Yang Zhao's imperial aunt was only one, that was Yang Lihua, the princess of Leping.

In the past few days, he was worried that Yang Su would send a master into the house and hurt Yu Zimo, so he didn't dare to run around at night, and promised Princess Leping that he had not done anything about cheating through the window, and he didn't want the other party to seem to be unable to wait, so he asked his nephew to take the initiative to get Wang Junlin over.

No matter what Wang Junlin thought, the carriage had already stopped by the side door, and several eunuchs were already waiting at the door, and they stepped forward to salute: "His Royal Highness King Jin, Qin Anhou, the princess has been waiting for a long time." ”

Yang Zhao didn't notice Wang Junlin's strange expression, and said with a smile: "Junlin come with me." ”

Yang Zhao's body was very fat, and the weather was hot and humid at this time, and he didn't walk for long, and he was sweating profusely, and Wang Junlin felt hard when he looked at it.

The last time was to sneak in at night, and I couldn't appreciate the true appearance of the eldest princess's mansion at all, and at this time I followed Yang Zhao into the mansion, only to find that this mansion occupies a huge area, but there are not many buildings, and there are not too many precious flowers and trees, but there are large woods everywhere, and it is summer at this time, but the trees here are full of greenery, and they are obviously cooler than outside the mansion.

The exquisite small buildings are hidden in the dense shade of the trees, and the small river is gurgling, giving Wang Junlin the illusion of being in the forest park of later generations.

Crossing a small bridge, they entered the inner house, the inner house is still densely shaded, and the outside is integrated, but the trees have also become much more precious, the southern pear, camphor, the western region peach, white cadima, etc., can be seen in the inner house.

"This woman takes care of the place where she lives beautifully." Wang Junlin couldn't help but secretly slander himself in his heart.

They walked across a white stone bridge and slowly stopped, several eunuchs were very careful, and their steps were slight, lest the footsteps should alarm the front.

In front of it is a white jade platform surrounded by beautifully carved balustrades, and under the platform is a pool of water, in which groups of red carp are tumbling up and down for food.

Standing on the platform was a woman, tall, wearing a snow-white wide gauze skirt, her black hair was draped over her shoulders, like a waterfall, without any jewelry on her body, although her clothes were simple, but she gave a sense of beauty and elegance, her temperament and the surrounding forest and lake were integrated, as if she were a fairy in the forest.

She had a piece of wheat cake in her hand, and her slender white fingers crumpled the wheat cake and threw it into the lake water, allowing the fish to compete for food.

Yang Zhao stepped forward to give a salute and said softly: "Imperial aunt, the little nephew of the Marquis of Qin An, the king of Junlin, has brought it. ”

Wang Junlin stepped forward to salute: "The lowly Wang Junlin has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. ”

Yang Lihua turned around slowly, compared to the last time the two met, she was still beautiful and refined, without a trace of powder, but her pale face had a touch of healthy ruddyness.

"Qin Anhou is here, but it's a rare guest!" Yang Lihua gritted her silver teeth, looked at Wang Junlin and said, making Yang Zhao inexplicable, and Wang Junlin secretly complained in his heart.

Her eyes were fixed on Wang Junlin's face, and there was a smile on her face, but there was a sense of resentment in her eyes.

Wang Junlin lowered his head and said: "On the day of the banquet in the lowly office, His Royal Highness came in person, and the lowly office should have returned the gift to visit His Highness a long time ago, but these days the lowly duty has made enemies with others, the other party is powerful, and there are few guards around the lowly position, and there are younger generations in the family who are injured and need to be taken care of, and the younger generations dare not leave easily." ”

may think that Wang Junlin is telling the truth, Yang Lihua's eyes dissipated a lot, nodded slightly, turned around and walked towards the end of the white jade platform, there is a small building hidden in a verdant bamboo forest, a circle of white walls and black tiles surrounded the small building, this is Yang Lihua's living place, and it is also the place where Wang Junlin climbed and climbed that night, only to see a plaque on the courtyard door, on which the words 'Le Pingxuan' were written.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the setting sun shone on the yellow small building through the branches and leaves, dyeing the small building with a layer of golden and magnificent colors, making Wang Junlin give birth to a strange feeling.

Wang Junlin and Yang Zhao followed Yang Lihua to the downstairs of Lepingxuan, only to find that there was an independent small courtyard in front of the building, which was planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and a stone path led to a white jade pavilion, behind the stone pavilion was a towering old willow tree, and the crown pavilion was like a canopy, covering the pavilion.
