Chu Palace is built by imitating the Dragon Palace in the water, the scale is large, the partition is clear, the layout is rigorous, there are doors and alleys, courts, corridors, etc., separating the court, the bedroom, the sect, the community, the house, the house...... The upper and lower staircases in the palace complex are made of marble, the floors are tired, the left and right side rooms have marble inlaid platforms that extend out of the eaves, the cloisters and open spaces are paved with white purple shells, and the other vacant ground is paved with smoothed stone slabs. The palace walls are whitewashed with gray pepper paste, which can spread fragrant smells and eliminate evil spirits for a long time; The exterior walls of the palace are made of hollow bricks carved with moire patterns. The roof of the Chu Palace is made of vermilion tiles. The sun shines on the Chu Palace, as if shining on the sparkling water, and under the water surface is the gorgeous and magnificent Dragon Palace.

The whole palace is tall and magnificent, the volume is huge, the pillar that the base can only be embraced by two people, is a thousand-year-old tree, the momentum is magnificent, in order to achieve the best lighting effect, the doors and windows adopt wide partition sashes. In addition, the corners of the temple, the corridors, and the tiles...... All follow the flow of light and shadow, so delicate that the flying corners of the wings and eaves have lingering flow curves, which is enough to reflect the Chu people's preference for softness and strength.

Before the time of the last dynasty, Lian Yin entertained the envoys of various countries in advance in the wing room next to the court hall as usual. This Lian Yin is from the Ruoao family, the Dou family is famous, wearing a blue and white robe made of tower-shaped brocade and silk, he is tall, dignified, and has a few strands of white hair on his temples, and he can still see the excellent demeanor of his youth when he is not confused. Lian Yin's position is in charge of foreign affairs with various countries, mediating with the countries of the Central Plains in the near future, and mediating the non-aggression of the barbarians and Rongdi in the distance, not only to have outstanding appearance, but also to have extraordinary wisdom, showing a good image and acting as the face of the country, but also to win for the country in diplomacy.

"In the Lower Chu State, even Yin Doucheng, I don't know what the envoy of the Qin State is called?" Dou Cheng elegantly poured Fan Yu a cup of elixir.

"It's polite to be under the bamboo." Fan Yu arched his hand, covered his sleeves and drank it, saying that it was elixir, but it was actually sour plum juice, with a warm and sweet aftertaste.

"Jian Zhu, could it be that the Qin envoy is after Uncle Qin Xiang when Mu Gongshi." Dou Cheng said appreciatively.

"No, no, no, I'm just a concubine, because Qin Jun adopted the strategy in Xia, he was appreciated, he was given a name, and he was favored by him, so he didn't dare to be ashamed." Fan Yu said modestly.

"Hahaha, since you are a member of the family, you are not a concubine, Qin Jun is letting you follow the Jian clan, Qin Jun values the Qin envoy so much, presumably the Qin envoy is not small."

"Awards, awards."

"Oh, by the way, why did the Qin envoy come to Chu this time?"

Fan Yu briefly described the matter of Mengchu's borrowing of troops.

"Well, ahem, the transfer of the country's public weapons is not trivial." Dou Cheng touched the black beard on his chin, glanced at the masked Fan Yu, stopped talking, looked out the window again, and said for a long time: "This matter is important, it is not easy to make a decision in the court, first make my king clear in private, see what my king wants, and ask the Qin envoy to understand." ”

Fan Yu thought about it, this matter really needs to be greeted in advance, Fan Yu got up and saluted: "Okay, please also ask Dou Lian Yin to inform the King of Chu hard." ”

"It's okay, I'll send the Qin envoy out."

"Please also ask Dou Lian Yin to stay, I will wait for Dou Lian Yin's news."

After that, the two politely said goodbye.

Fan Yu walked in the corridor, stopped to look at the clear sky of Chu Kingdom, lingered for a while in this cloudy palace, a line of egrets flew by leisurely, Fan Yu couldn't help but lose his mind......

I don't know when the familiar and pleasant sound of the flute sounded in his ears, Fan Yu looked back, it was the young man in white who was blowing the flute, he was wearing a cloud-cutting crown, his black hair was draped behind him, the breeze was blowing, his eyes were light, and he was deeply worried, as if he had fallen into the mortal world, they glanced at each other, and Fan Yu hurriedly opened his eyes.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency's name." The bear stopped playing and asked.

Fan Yu hurriedly turned around and did not answer.

"I'm sorry to disturb Your Excellency, I glanced at it just now, Your Excellency seems to be my old friend." Seeing that Fan Yu didn't answer, Xiong Lu walked over.

Fan Yu's voice pretended to be hoarse and said: "The envoy of the Lower Qin State, Jian Zhu, disturbed Your Excellency's playing here, it was rude, and I said goodbye." ”

"Wait, in the Lower Chu Kingdom, the prince Xiong Lu, why did the envoy come to the Chu State? I don't know if I can help. ”

If an ordinary envoy encounters a nobleman of the Chu State, he can't wait to step forward to cater to him, but Fan Yu can't wait to end the conversation with him quickly, and the more he talks, the more flaws he makes: "Oh, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Prince, who was rude in Xia, and his official affairs have been settled, and he didn't have to bother the prince, so he retired in Xia." ”

"The messenger stays, I have something to ask, please answer the messenger."

"Prince, please speak."

"Why is the messenger masked?" Xiong Liang looked at Fan Yu carefully and did not miss any details.

"Back to the crown prince, on the way down to the Chu State, he was bumped on the face, and he had to recuperate for a few days to recover, for fear of frightening the King of Chu and the ministers of the Chu State, so he had to wear a veil to cover his ugliness." Fan Yu replied calmly, and no emotion could be heard in his words.

"Don't worry, messenger, there is good medicine in the palace that can treat the wound and will not leave a scar, please come with me."

"A small injury on the lower face, don't worry so much about the prince." Fan Yu can't bear it anymore, hey, you can leave quickly, I can't pretend anymore.

Suddenly, the bear couple took Fan Yu's hand and ran wildly, the black veil on Fan Yu's face was almost blown away by the wind, and they went down from one corridor to another, hiding behind a side room. Because of the fast run just now, neither of them could breathe calmly, they were gasping for breath, and he held her hand, feeling the same.
