Chapter 31: The Palace

In the early morning of the next day, An Yi woke up early, tidied up his clothes, and planned to go to the palace of the king of Shu. Because it was late at night when I arrived in Chengdu County last night, it would be a bit rude if I didn't visit early today. After all, it is the old Taishan in the future, so it's better to be diligent.

Thinking of this, An Yi couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

There are many more people in Chengdu in the early morning than after nightfall, the flow of people and carriages, and the distant morning light through the early morning mist, obliquely on Anyi's head, face and body, making him feel refreshed for a while. Passing through the streets of the city, it is only a cup of tea away from the comfortable old mansion to fight horses is the Shu Wangfu.

The palace is very magnificent, Sichuan is the country of abundance, the southwest granary of the Great Xia Dynasty, so the king of Shu has become the most generous of the seven princes of the grandfather, this palace of the king of Shu has been repaired and decorated by several generations of Shu kings, and it is naturally magnificent and luxurious. At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters "Shu Wangfu", and there are two mighty stone lions sitting under the stone steps in front of the door.

An Yi turned over and dismounted in front of the door, and the guard on the stone steps saw An Yi standing in front of the horse door, so he came over with a knife and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

An Yi made a gesture to the guard standing at the door: "Please trouble go in and report, Huayang County An Yi came to meet the King of Shu Chitose." ”

After hearing this, the guard turned around and entered the house through the side door to report. After a while, a man who looked like a butler walked out. The housekeeper walked up to An Yi with a smile on his face and said, "It's Gongzi An who came?" I am Zhou He, the housekeeper of the palace, and the prince is also waiting in the room, please come with me. ”

An Yi thanked him, handed over the reins in his hand to the guard, and followed the butler into the palace through the side door.

The courtyard of the Shu Wangfu is much larger than the old mansion of the Anfu, and several towering halls are neatly placed in the courtyard. Steward Zhou took An Yi around and around to a small garden behind the courtyard, and found a side house along the path of the garden.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a large case of Huali marble, on which there were all kinds of celebrity legal texts, and dozens of treasure inkstones, various color pen holders, and the pens inserted in the sea of pens were like woods. On that side, there is a large Ru kiln flower sac, with a bouquet of white chrysanthemums.

"But comfort has come?"

A magnetic voice came from the inner room, and before An Yi could answer, Steward Zhou on the side had already answered: "Back to the prince, An Yi has been invited." ”

"Alright, then you go down and do your business."

"Yes~"

Steward Zhou made a "please" gesture towards Xiang Yi in the inner room, and then bowed down and exited the room.

An Yi followed the direction of the housekeeper and turned into the inner room, and saw the King of Shu in civilian clothes, sitting on a Taishi chair, holding the Tianmu porcelain tea cup in his left hand, and gently scraping the tea leaves in the cup with his right hand, tasting it carefully.

Gao Yingshu next to him was dressed in a gold silk soft cigarette, bowing down and rummaging through bamboo slips on the bookshelf.

"See the prince Chitose!"

An Yi stood at the door and respectfully bowed to the King of Shu.

"Oh, Gongzi An doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat." The king of Shu put down the teacup and signaled that he was comfortable and did not need to be formal.

Gao Ying raised her head when she heard the sound, she put down the book in her hand, looked at Anyi, and a shallow smile appeared on her face.

An Yi winked at her and sat down at the head of the King of Shu.

"Thanks to the appreciation of the prince, I have entrusted the important task of group training, and I am here to thank you!" An Yi said and arched his hand towards the King of Shu again.

The King of Shu smiled and said: "Gongzi An is very clever, in Huayang County, he helped the king punish the dirty officials and co-opt the mountain bandits, such a young hero, can be willing to serve the imperial court, the king thanks you for not refusing to resign." I just don't know how many people you brought with you this time? ”

An Yi said: "The prince has won the award!" It is also an honor for our younger generations to share the worries of the court. This time, they brought a total of more than 200 people, mainly the naturalized mountain bandits on Erlong Mountain. ”

The King of Shu looked at An Yi with great interest, and said, "You can actually incorporate these people, this is really beyond the king's expectations." ”

Gao Yingshu took the teacup from the hand of the maid outside the door, slowly brought it to An Yi's face, and said softly: "Son, drink slowly, be careful of burning." ”

An Yi got up and took the teacup with both hands respectfully, and his right hand seemed to unintentionally touch forward slightly, and gently stroked Gao Yingshu's left hand holding the teacup.

I didn't expect An Yi to be so bold in front of his father, Gao Yingshu was a little unexpected, and she shrank back like an electric shock. An Yi grabbed the tea cup in her hand, with a concerned expression on her face, but a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth,

"Miss Gao, be careful."

An Yi pretended to be concerned and said to Gao Ying, and then put the tea cup on the table,

Gao Yingshu didn't answer, glanced at him, turned around and walked out of the house.

This series of intimate small movements did not seem to be seen by the King of Shu, who was holding the tea cup in both hands, and seemed to be immersed in the fragrance of tea.

An Yi suddenly remembered a person, and he asked the king of Shu: "Lord Wang, do you know the son of Lord Zeng?" ”

The King of Shu nodded at him, "I recognize, it seems to be called Zeng Ziren, a gentleman." Why, have you seen him? ”

Of course, An Yi couldn't tell the King of Shu that he didn't come to visit Lao Taishan in Chengdu County on the first night, so he went into the Qianyun Tower, and he covered it up: "It's just an accident on the road." ”

"Boss Zeng has been fair and honest all his life, loyal to his duties, and when he got this son, he was naturally spoiled by him since he was a child, and now he is strictly disciplined, it is too late, this little Hades, it is better to be less troublesome."

The king of Shu picked up the tea, poured a sip, and then said to An Yi: "In addition to you, there are two regimental training envoys, they have been stationed in Chengdu left and right guards, and this king will take them with him when he goes to the border town." When you first arrived, you will be placed in the green camp of the summer garrison in Chengdu, and there is no need to go to the front line with this king for the time being, because you belong to the nature of regimental training, so you will be scattered to various villages to be stationed like the guards. ”

An Yi laughed bitterly in his heart after hearing this, he was really guessed by Jiang Ruyue, and he was assigned to the green camp, so he indirectly became a subordinate of Zhu Zongchen, the political envoy of Sichuan Chengxuan, and killed his son Zhu Tori, which is good, and he collided with the enemy who did not share the sky.

The King of Shu glanced at An Yi, seemed to see what he was thinking, and said: "You don't have to worry about others, according to the laws of Great Xia, although the rank of the political envoy is in the command of the envoy. However, it has no right to interfere with the deployment and management of the Green Battalion under the command command. ”

Since the king of Shu said so, it was difficult for An Yi to say anything, so he diverted the topic and asked about the king of Shu's aid.

"The prince is going to the border town in a few days?"

"This king has received the edict of the Holy Emperor's personal expedition, and you will soon see it on the emperor's list in the city. It is estimated that after the scientific expedition, he will lead the army. ”

This news came very suddenly, and the information that An Yi came into contact with was still on the unusual offense of the Liao people, why did the emperor suddenly decide to drive the expedition in person?

"Lord Wang, there is something unclear below, is there something going on in the northwest? Why did the Holy One plan to go on a personal expedition? ”

The King of Shu smiled and said to An Yi: "I don't know about this kind of thing, even if I do, this is a secret matter in the court, how do you let this king open his mouth to you?"

An Yi said apologetically: "This is rude." ”

The king of Shu waved his hand at him, indicating that it was okay, and then looked out the window and said: "It's still early, you should go to the garrison office to find the Chengdu garrison General Xia Ang to report, get some food and go to the garrison to settle down first." ”

When An Yi heard the sound, he got up and took his leave,

As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Gao Yingshu in a long skirt standing in the garden, smiled comfortably, stepped forward, and pretended to be respectful: "Can you bother Miss Gao to take me to the door of the house?" I don't know the way down to some. ”

Gao Yingshu covered her mouth lightly, and said with a smile; "Then come with me."

The two of them walked slowly along the corridor of the Shu Palace, and they walked slowly and without speaking. Or An Yi took the lead in breaking the silence and said: "Did you go to Yixian Tower with An Xin and you to eat yesterday?" ”

The corners of Gao Yingshu's mouth rose slightly, and behind his hands he replied without looking back: "The little woman thought that Gongzi only remembered the shallow singing of Qianyun Tower, but she didn't expect to remember Yingshu and Xin'er." ”

In the Great Xia Dynasty, although it was not a shameful thing for men to be nostalgic for Goolan Washe, three wives and four concubines, even many dignitaries in Wang Jing were proud of this and compared with each other. But a woman is still a woman after all, and she always has a little sour taste in it. An Yi couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and his mind was quickly thinking about who told Gao Yingshu about going to Qianyun Tower last night.

Gao Yingshu stopped, turned around, stared at An Yi with those jewel-like black eyes, and said: "Don't think about it, I guessed it myself, the place where I can meet Zeng Ziren in Chengdu at night is not only his own mansion is Qianyun Tower, but also happened to meet it on the road, and it is almost the same as fooling my father." What do you think? What does Mr. An think of our Qianyun Tower here, but which girl do you like? ”

An Yi immediately stretched out his right hand and raised three fingers, and said with a straight face: "I swear, we only had a few glasses of wine with Brother Lin and Ming Yin last night, and we almost got into trouble with that person who had something, that's all." ”

Gao Yingshu seemed to have received a satisfactory answer, smiled, turned back again, and continued to walk forward, "Okay, it's not an unsightly thing, you don't need to swear by a gambling curse." Did you have a serious confrontation with him last night? ”

An Yi sneered twice and said, "If it weren't for Miss Liu from Qianyun Tower to stop her, I'm afraid she would have become Brother Lin's sword." ”

Gao Yingshu stopped again, looked at An Yi with concern, and advised: "That person is a must-try, you really have to be careful." Also, when the location of your camp is decided, remember that someone will come and talk to me. ”

An Yi didn't answer, and suddenly looked at Gao Yingshu with a wicked smile, he felt that Gao Yingshu's current appearance was not at all like the daughter of the Shu Palace, but like his wife who had passed the door of the Mansion. Thinking about it, An Yi approached her step by step, making Gao Yingshu a little confused.

"You... You..."

Step by step, she was comfortably forced to the wall,

An Yi pressed his arm on the wall on Gao Yingshu's shoulder, slowly lowered his body, and gently put his face close to Gao Yingshu's face.

"You... You... Comfort, this is the palace, don't mess around. ”
