The Summer Palace belongs to a relatively large courtyard of the Luoyang Palace, although the size is not as large as the upper mansion, in the independent courtyard of the palace, it is relatively large. After all, it's the only one who lives alone, and he doesn't need that big.

Pavilions, ponds, rockeries, everything, and more than a dozen royal families and maids waiting. This is a gift to the villa and a servant, and the princess is also very good-looking.

"Young Master Fang Jue, my name is Xue Bao, I am the housekeeper of the palace, this is your residence, the princess specially instructed, if you have any needs, please call the ward. This is the head of the palace guards, and he is responsible for the safety of everyone in the palace. ”

Xue Bao, the housekeeper of the palace, pointed to the leader of the palace guards on the side, with the instructions of the princess, he also had to serve Fang Jue wholeheartedly.

"Qian Mo, the leader of the palace guards, has seen Fang Jue's son."

Of course, Qian Mo knew Fang Jue, and listened to Ye Ling'er, the county lord said that it was Fang Jue who harmed the moon slave. Qian Mo followed all the way, the sword in his hand had already been clenched by him many times, and his speech at this moment seemed a little stiff.

Everything is arranged, Xue Bao still has a lot of palace affairs to do, and Qian Mo also has to take the palace guards to inspect the palace.

"Young Master, this guard leader named Qianmo is a little weird, he follows all the way, the sword in his hand is clenched at any time, and only when he is in hostility can he have such a reaction. And when he looked at you, young master, it always made me feel a murderous aura flashing in his eyes. ”

With his many years of experience in the rivers and lakes, Nan Feng will never be mistaken, and even if Qian Mo deliberately hides it, he still can't escape Nan Feng's eyes.

"Nanfeng, do you remember the gold medal at the post station, you privately let the people of the palace identify it to see if it is true."

Before you know it, it's noon. The food for the Summer Palace has been prepared and delivered. A large table is a delicious dish with both color and flavor. But there is only one person who can enjoy it, and that is Fang Jue. The maid Li'er and Bi'er could only stand by and serve, Nan Feng and Xiao Yue also stood at the door with high vigilance, even when they arrived at the palace, they didn't dare to be careless. As soon as you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, not to mention the palace, the surface is calm, who knows how strong the undercurrent surges.

"Li'er, Bi'er, you serve this, this, and these two plates, let Nanfeng and them eat, I can't eat so much alone, don't waste it."

Li'er and Bi'er listened to the order, removed half of the delicacy, and then brought it to the next room, and several guards brought by Jiangning County were also very happy, although there was a special food supply, but after all, the food of the people was still not as good as that of the masters.

"You two also sit down and eat with me."

"Slaves don't dare."

Li'er and Bi'er naturally understand how the subordinates can share the table with the master, if it is passed out, then it will be okay, in the Heavenly Empire, it is not allowed.

Fang Jue had no choice but to eat alone, but he had the heart to leave two plates of delicious food, not to move the chopsticks, and wait for himself to finish eating, and then let the two maids enjoy it.

"Young Master Fang Jue, the prince has returned to the palace, and you will go to the main hall of the palace immediately."

A servant of the royal palace came to report, very polite, not as arrogant as a member of the royal family.

Fang Jue combed his clothes, brought the letter that Shang Yan had given him, and then followed the servant.

Fang Jue arrived at the living room of the main hall of the palace, there were already several people sitting in it, and the leader was naturally the King of Luoyang, who was dignified, not angry and arrogant, and the court clothes had not been changed. There were three people sitting on the side, one of whom Fang Jue recognized, Fang Jue had seen in Fang Mansion, it was the big man from the capital.

"Go down first."

Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, watched Fang Jue come in, and then motioned for the others to leave.

"Fang Jue of Jiangning County, meet the prince."

"You are Fang Jue, you are really good-looking, and the princess still has a vision."

The King of Luoyang, who was wearing a purple python robe, looked at Fang Jue and touched his short beard.

"This is a letter from my father to Fang Jue to the prince, and I also ask the prince to take a look."

Fang Jue took out the letter, and Xue Bao, the housekeeper on the side, took the letter, and then respectfully handed it to Ye Yunchang.

Ye Yunchang opened the letter, his eyes quickly browsed, but his expression seemed calm.

"The king of Ming Japan reported to the emperor, and the proton of Jiangning County stayed in the Luoyang Palace. Since you come to Beijing as a hostage, you must abide by the rules of being a proton, as long as you don't leave Beijing without permission, Chang'an can move around at will. ”

How could Fang Jue not know that official hostages were equivalent to the emperor's bargaining chips for controlling local officials with real power. The official hostages who come to Beijing will not build a separate mansion for them. In order to facilitate management, they will be allowed to live in the mansions of officials in the capital, so that they can not only monitor the whereabouts of protons at any time, but also ensure the safety of protons. In order for Proton to live well in the capital, local officials will send a lot of money, so this is a fat gap. But if the proton is missing, the official in charge of supervision will also be affected.

As a proton, without power and fame, he is destined to become a victim of politics. However, there are many benefits, no need to work hard, in addition to eating, drinking, and having fun every day, no one will look down on you as a moth. As long as the dialect does not fall for a day, Fang Jue can stay in the capital indefinitely and enjoy life.

The king of Luoyang said some rules that should be followed as an official hostage, and then asked Xue Bao to hand Fang Jue a gold medal, and the gold medal could enter and leave the Luoyang palace freely. But he didn't mention the marriage between Fang Jue and Qiao Xiaoyue. It seems that Fang Jue was too anxious, and he wanted to marry the county lord before entering the palace.

It wasn't until Fang Jue came out of the living room that Fang Jue found that there were still some people waiting outside, holding some books in their hands, like some official documents and the like.

The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was weak and sick, and the prince was young and frivolous, so many national affairs were handled by Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, and Wang Si, the prime minister.

"Xue Bao, what do you think of this son?"

Ye Yunchang looked at the official document and said to Xue Bao, the chief butler who was grinding ink beside him.

"This son is dignified, his speech is steady, but he is funny. I heard that after seeing the princess in the morning, the princess also specially asked the old slave to take care of this son. The first time he could please the princess, this is still a rare person. ”

Xue Bao has followed Ye Yunchang for many years, not only as the palace housekeeper, but also as Ye Yunchang's first confidant. Court affairs, palace affairs, Ye Yunchang likes to communicate with Xue Bao. That's why Xue Bao dared to discuss it so boldly in front of Ye Yunchang.

"This king has been busy with political affairs all these years, and he really didn't accompany the princess well, so she has a grudge in her heart."

"The prince's friendship with the princess is in the eyes of the old slave. The reason why the princess was depressed was because the princess felt sorry for the prince and failed to give birth to a little prince for the prince, and the princess refused to take a concubine. ”

"This king swore back then that it was enough to have her all his life, and if he broke his trust with a woman, how could he win the trust of the world."

Ye Yunchang stopped the official document in his hand, and suddenly said that the princess, he was ashamed, and he hadn't seen his wife for several days. The former mountain alliance vowed to promise her a bright future, and after so many years, it gave her glory and wealth, but it couldn't give her enough time to accompany her. With a few strands of gray hair on her temples and her daughter already grown, he knew that all she needed was a warm home. Ye Yunchang finally stopped the pen in his hand, his eyes closed in contemplation. can be the most outstanding prince of the Celestial Empire, and can hold the greatest power in the world, but he can't be a good husband and a good father.
