Steward Guo carefully prepared the luggage on the road for Chen Shuyue and others, although he was a little reluctant in his heart, but fortunately, Chen Shuyue's official reinstatement was also a good thing, plus this time he entered Beijing safely and soundly, and also solved the problem of Guangling's military salary, which was even more joyful.

Chen Shuyue looked around inside and outside the Chen Mansion seriously, walked it all over, and maybe he would never be able to come back after leaving here.

Zhao's mother saw Chen Shuyue in the back garden, "Yue'er, are you no longer accompanying the old lady, are you no longer accompanying your Zhao's mother?" ”

Chen Shuyue hurriedly walked over to help Zhao's mother, "Zhao's mother, there are many affairs in Guangling, I have been away for a few days, if I delay any longer, I am afraid that there will be military affairs to deal with." ”

The two of them sat on a stone bench, looking at the lake, the breeze blowing through the layers of ripples.

"Yue'er, Mother Zhao is old, I don't know if I can see you again. I don't understand national events, but Mother Zhao still hopes that you will come back often to see and live, after all, there is a family here. Mother Zhao almost choked up.

Chen Shuyue was very uncomfortable in his heart, but he had to be happy on the surface, he couldn't make Zhao's mother even more uncomfortable because he was uncomfortable.

"Mother Zhao, I'm not a child of an ordinary family, I can't eat a full meal all day and don't care about anything, I am a member of the Dachen royal family, and the people of Dachen need us. We are born different from ordinary people, and what flows in our blood is the blood that goes to the soup for Da Chen. Chen Shuyue said.

Mother Zhao pulled Chen Shuyue's hand and stopped talking, her eyes were full of tears. Chen Shuyue knew that it was love, and he was also reluctant.

"Little prince, someone is asking to see you." Xiao Dezi ran over and shouted.

Chen Shuyue thought to herself: I have been away from Beijing for many years, and there are few old friends left, who will come to ask to see him? Besides, after his accident in the palace, the whole Kyoto knew, and no one came to visit, who would it be if someone asked to see him at this time?

Chen Shuyue, who was full of questions, looked at Zhao's mother, and Zhao's mother motioned for Chen Shuyue to get busy.

When I walked to the front hall, I saw an old lady in her early fifties, but with an extraordinary temperament and good manners, standing there. He was followed by two maids and two guards. With Chen Shuyue's skills, I learned that the martial arts of the four people are not weak, and they must not be ordinary people if they are so powerful.

Chen Shuyue stepped forward and hurriedly saluted, "I will meet my predecessors in my later life, I don't know who my predecessors are?" ”

The old lady looked at Chen Shuyue carefully up and down, left and right, turned around and sat on the right seat, revealing a domineering spirit in her gestures, and Chen Shuyue knew that this old lady could also do martial arts.

Seeing Chen Shuyue standing in place with her head bowed, the old lady said slowly: "That's it, I don't have to worry about you a lot, let's do it." ”

Listening to the tone, Chen Shuyue did the right thing to make the old lady unhappy, but she didn't know who this person was. After Chen Shuyue thanked him, he sat down on the side.

The old lady said, "Shuyue, do you know me?" ”

Chen Shuyue said embarrassedly: "I can't hide it, I don't know who my predecessors are in my later life, I'm sorry." ”

The old lady laughed, "Haha, you don't know who I am, but I know who you are, and I know all about you." ”

Chen Shuyue was even more confused, even if he had many friends in the rivers and lakes, but it was rare for him to have such an identity, and then he looked at this old lady's behavior not very much like a person in the rivers and lakes.

"Please also ask your seniors to teach you." Chen Shuyue said.

"Are you familiar with my Dachen Palace?" The old lady asked.

Chen Shuyue wondered, this palace is where she grew up, but if you want to say that it is familiar, it is not so familiar, she asked the palace, could it be that this person is also a member of the royal family?

Chen Shuyue said: "When my seniors asked me, I was even more misty. ”

The old lady got up and said, "I'm tired today, so I won't talk to you anymore." It just so happened that I passed by here today, and I broke in when the door of the house was open, so I came back to see my hometown. Ming'er, come to the palace to find me by yourself, and talk about it later. The old lady said and walked out.

Chen Shuyue hurriedly stood up, "Senior, where will I find you in the palace tomorrow?" ”

"Huaiyang Mansion". The old lady went out as she spoke.

Chen Shuyue looked puzzled, no matter how familiar the palace is, he won't know the mansion inside, this Huaiyang Mansion has really never heard of it.

"Who is this old lady?" Chen Shuyue asked Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi's head shook like a rattle, "I don't know, I haven't seen it." ”

After dinner, Chen Shuyue returned to the study to look through the books, hoping to find a single word about Huaiyang Mansion, but after looking for a long time, she didn't find anything. He just couldn't figure it out, what the hell was going on, he didn't know this old lady at all, and besides, Huaiyang Mansion was in the palace, which made him even more confused.

The largest mansion in Kyoto is the Dachen Palace, which is red brick walls from north to south, from west to east, with yellow tile roofs, and I have been to every corner, but I have never seen this Huaiyang Mansion. The largest mansion in the palace is Chen Shubao's Taihe Palace, to the east and west are some offices of military important places, and to the south is the dormitory, the princess's mansion, the concubine's mansion, the general's mansion and so on.

The largest mansion outside the Imperial Palace on Kyoto Street is the Chen Family Mansion, that is, the Prince's Palace. Why is Chen Shuyue's mansion not in the palace? In fact, in the early years, Chen Shuyue's father was the prince of Da Chen when he was not in power, because of his repeated military exploits, in order to reward his merits, Chen Shuyue's grandfather built a mansion for his father outside the palace, but the mansion was built less than two months before the grandfather passed away, and his father moved into the Taihe Palace. The Chen Mansion was slowly built little by little day and little by year, until Chen Shubao was still under construction, and it did not stop until Chen Shuyue was exiled to Guangling.

The momentum of the Chen Mansion is different from the majesty of the palace, it seems ordinary, but it forms a line with the palace, which is natural.

Chen Shuyue thought of this, but she couldn't remember where Huaiyang Mansion was. He called Steward Guo to inquire about Huaiyang Mansion, and Steward Guo shook his head, "Little Lord, the little one has never entered the palace, and he doesn't know where Huaiyang Mansion is." ”

Chen Shuyue had to figure out a way by herself, she was going to ask Chen Shuhuan and Chen Shuxian, but she didn't know about it, let alone the two brothers.

Thinking of this, he was ready to go into the palace to find out.

Chen Shuyue, who was packing up her night clothes, suddenly heard Du Juan knock on the door, "Little prince, Du Juan brought you a change of clothes." ”

Chen Shuyue had already changed into her night clothes at this time, and when she didn't know what to do, Du Juan found that there was no echo inside and came in.

"Huh? Little prince, what are you doing here? Du Juan saw Chen Shuyue in a night suit and asked.

Chen Shuyue said his thoughts again, he knew that Du Juan was so young that he probably couldn't help much.

"Little Wangye, you said Huaiyang Mansion? I've heard about it. Cuckoo said.

Chen Shuyue was very surprised, Du Juan was in her twenties, and she had actually heard of Huaiyang Mansion, but she didn't know that she was a member of the royal family.

Chen Shuyue asked with interest, "Tell me about it." ”

Du Juan said: "In the past, the little princess often entered the palace, but after arriving at the dormitory, we couldn't follow the accompanying Yahuan anymore, but every time the little princess came back, she talked about this Huaiyang Mansion, so I heard of this Huaiyang Mansion, but I don't know where it is." ”

Chen Shuyue was happy, at least this old lady didn't lie to herself, indicating that Huaiyang Mansion was in the palace.

"Little prince, I will go into the palace with you to find Huaiyang Mansion." Cuckoo said.

Chen Shuyue looked at Du Juan, and the implication was that it would be good if you didn't make trouble.

Du Juan understood what Chen Shuyue meant, and said: "Lord, I often follow the little princess into the palace, so I am very familiar with the road to the palace, and I, Du Juan, am also good at martial arts, and I will not cause trouble to the little princess." ”

Chen Shuyue was skeptical.

"Really, none of the Ouchi guards back then were my opponents." Du Juan said firmly.

Chen Shuyue thought about it and decided to take Du Juan with her, even if she might not be able to find it, many people would have more eyes, which also proved that she was not dreaming.

After the two cleaned up, they climbed over the wall and walked out of the Chen Mansion, which was very easy because the Chen Mansion was not guarded. When I came to the streets of Kyoto, there were very few people at night, and most of them had already slept, only the husband who was on the shift was knocking and beating.

The wall of the front door of the palace is so high that ordinary people cannot climb directly into it. Chen Shuyue was just about to say a word to Du Juan, but she didn't expect Du Juan to go up to the front door wall with one heel, which really made Chen Shuyue admire the little girl's light work.

You have to be careful all the way into the palace, since Chen Shubao was threatened by Ma Youwei, the palace has strengthened the guards, it is not the scene last time at all, and the lights are bright, as bright as daytime.

Chen Shuyue told Du Juan to be careful, and the two of them flew around like two swallows on the roof, avoiding countless patrols of the forbidden army and guards.

If it weren't for Du Juan's guidance, Chen Shuyue really didn't know if he could find the dormitory, it turned out that the current palace had already been renovated, and it was not what Chen Shuyue looked like at that time. It saves a lot of trouble with Du Juan, but I don't know where to go when I get to the dormitory.

"Little prince, the little princess enters through that door every time." Du Juan pointed to a side door with gold edges.

Chen Shuyue took a closer look, this is the harem of the queen's concubine, how could there be a mansion inside.

"Little prince, why don't we go to the palace and take a look to see if there is still a mansion." Du Juan said.

Chen Shuyue shook her head, "Da Chen's law stipulates that a man is not allowed to enter the dormitory without a will, and if someone arrests him tonight, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

After hearing this, Du Juan said, "I'll go and take a look, even if I am caught, it doesn't matter." After saying that, he turned over and went to the roof of the dormitory.

Chen Shuyue waited anxiously for Du Juan, and then looked carefully at the side door. There are a total of six doors in the dormitory, and the middle two are the main gates, and only the emperor and queen can enter. The two on the left are the upper side doors, where the concubines, princesses and others enter, while the two on the right are the lower side doors, which are tightly closed, so Chen Shuyue himself doesn't know who enters them.

Could it be that Huaiyang Mansion is inside the two lower side doors? Chen Shuyue suddenly asked herself.
