The capital Chapter 4 Friendship Volume: Meet at the Mansion

Li Mingyuan and his entourage followed the eunuch to the palace of the old imperial city.

He saw the slightly old mansion gate in front of him, and raised his head to see the plaque on the mansion, King Jing's Mansion. When the first emperor was alive, he gave his father the title of King Jing on his tenth birthday, thinking that he was calm and gentle. But now, in this capital, there is still some peace, which is really ironic.

This Jingwang Mansion is overgrown with weeds because it has been uninhabited for many years. Although there are people in the palace who have come to clean and clean up, they still show the age of age.

Li Mingyuan loves this mansion very much, and it is quiet in the middle of the noise, although it is old, but these are all used by his father, and he cherishes it very much.

Lin Qingran has been pretending to be a guard since he entered the capital.

Jingwangfu? She was not very familiar with this place, as if she had not heard of it before. Indeed, since the king of Dingbei moved out of the capital when he came of age, this place was abandoned before she was born.

"Looks like no one has lived here for a few days." Lin Qingran looked around and said.

"This is where my father lived before he became an adult." Li Mingyuan's tone revealed a hint of pride and joy.

"Oh...... I see. "No wonder he loved it from the moment he walked in.

"Did you just see your father in the main hall?" She continued.

"Nope." There was a slight disappointment in his eyes.

Seeing his disappointed eyes, Lin Qingran felt a trace of pity in his heart, "It's not going to be so easy, why don't we clean up here first." ”

"En......"

On the other hand, Wu Taifu's subordinates came to the Prince's Mansion.

"Oh? Li Mingyuan lives in the old mansion of the emperor's uncle? That Jingwang Mansion? The prince asked.

"Yes, Prince."

"It's been a long time since anyone has lived there, and I have a chance to meet him." The crown prince Li Minghao looked puzzled again, "Did Li Mingyuan really not bring a maid this time?" ”

"Not really."

No waitress...... What about Lin Qingran? Could it be that she is dressed as a man again? This Lin Qingran is still so bold, let me think about how to scare her first.

"Okay, I know about this, you go down."

"Yes, Prince."

When night fell, the subordinates arranged by the palace for King Jing's Mansion lit oil lamps in each room early.

After Li Mingyuan had dinner, he had been in his father's original study, looking through the books here. In fact, all the books in the study were put on later, and there were no traces of too many fathers. But when he thinks about it, his father studied here when he was a child, and he is still very happy.

Lin Qingran also went to his room, which was farther away from the main entrance hall. Chen Chong also asked her, are you sure you want to be so biased? "Pretty sure!" She just wants to find a more remote yard, which is not conspicuous, and it will be convenient to enter and exit in the future.

King Jing's Mansion is originally quiet in the middle of noisy, and many places in the palace are also surrounded by bamboo forests, and the place she chose is even more surrounded.

Presumably, Duke Taifu should have informed the prince, although he did not meet anyone familiar with the palace all the way to the capital, but as long as he settled down, the prince might come over. Lin Qingran has a big head when he thinks about it, he is the prince, he can't be offended, he really doesn't want to see it.

"Alas...... Tomorrow's business, tomorrow's talk! "She's sleepy, the prince's business, let's talk about it.

Early in the morning, Lin Qingran woke up to the sound of birds in a flock of bamboo forests. I haven't slept so well for a long time, and sure enough, it's the palace of the capital, and it's much better in all aspects.

Thinking that since they have all come to the capital, how can they not go out for a walk!

"Well, you have to get out today!" After getting up and freshening up, she was ready to go to the front hall first.

Humming a little tune, she came to the antechamber, and she seemed to be in a very good mood.

When he came to the front hall and saw the attendants in the hall, Lin Qingran asked, "Have you seen Chen Chong?" ”

The attendant had just been transferred from the palace, and he didn't know where Chen Chong was, and when he saw her dressed as a guard, he ignored her. Lin Qingran saw that he didn't bother with him, so he didn't ask anymore, and was ready to find it himself.

When she came out of the front hall, she saw Shang Jing and two or three guards walking from the front yard, and she happily greeted Shang Jing and said hello.

Since Yunzhou, Shang Jing has eaten and lived with these guards, also because Li Mingyuan wants to watch him.

"Have you seen Chen Chong?" She asked the guard.

"Manager Chen should discuss things with the little marquis in the hall." The guard said.

"Oh, where are you going?" She continued.

"Manager Chen said that he might have to go out in a while, and we were about to get ready." The guard replied.

Hearing that she was going out, she was even more excited, "Well! I'll look for you in a moment. ”

When she came to the hall, she saw Li Mingyuan and Chen Chong discussing something, so she also leaned over.

"Say what?" She asked excitedly.

"You seem to be quite happy." Li Mingyuan saw her happy look early in the morning.

"To be a man, you must be happy! And this palace eats well and sleeps well, how can you not be happy. "Hehe, and I'll be able to go out for a walk in a while.

"We are saying that there are many people in the palace who have come to this palace now, and some of them should be sent by the emperor to monitor." When Li Mingyuan said this, he looked around with his spare eyes.

"Yes, I also saw an attendant just now, and I didn't respond when I asked." She said.

"Knowing the current situation, how else can you do this? Alas......" he said with a sigh.

"Then find a chance to replace them." Lin Qingran said very lightly.

"These are all people in the palace, can they be replaced?"

"Otherwise, let Taifu Gong help you again."

"Taifu Gong has already helped me in the court last time, and if I ask him to help again, I can't really become a vassal marquis to collude with internal assistance." On weekdays, she is not very smart, why does she feel stupid as soon as she enters Beijing.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what do you say." She just wanted to go out and didn't want to worry about anything else.

"Aren't we talking about it?" He said.

When will this be discussed, ...... after Lin Qingran sat down, he helplessly supported his chin with his hand and looked at them. When I saw something to eat on the table, I picked it up and ate it.

Li Mingyuan and Chen Chong discussed for a while, but there was no solution.

"Little Marquis, now that we have just come to the mansion, we still need to buy some items." Chen Chong proposed, "Although there are some preparations in the palace, they are not complete. ”

Hearing that he wanted to buy items, Lin Qingran's eyes lit up, "I think what Chen Chong said is, let's go buy some things first." ”

"You just want to get out, don't you?" Li Mingyuan saw her intentions.

"By the way, anyway......"

If she wants to go out, let her go out, after all, the last time she entered the city, she didn't take a good look at the capital," ...... Well, you guys go for it. "It seems that this matter can only be solved at another time.

After preparing for a while, they went out to buy.

In this purchase, Chen Chong not only brought some guards, but also her and Shang Jing. The little marquis said that Shang Jing had never been to the capital, so let's take him out for a walk, after all, he had also helped himself.

"It seems that this Li Mingyuan is still very good except for his poisonous mouth." Knowing that it was Li Mingyuan who asked Chen Chong to bring Shangjing out, she was very surprised.

"Little Hou Ye has always been very good to us." Chen Chong said.

"It's out!" She happily looked left and right, and felt that everything was fresh. One would run to the bridge, the next would run to see the merchant ships, and if there was a bustle there, she would drill there.

Chen Chong can only follow her, this Lin Qingran is really not idle for a moment.

As soon as he finished dealing with some things last day, Li Mingyuan was about to take a nap when he heard a report from a guard.

"Report, little marquis, the prince is here to see."

Why did the prince come so soon, "Invite him in." ”

"Yes"

After a while, I saw a gentle and handsome young man, dressed in traditional Jiangnan costumes, embroidered with golden lace plum blossom patterns, wearing a pendant carved from Hetian jade around his waist, combing an ordinary aristocratic headdress, and followed by two retinues. This person is Li Minghao, the crown prince of the dynasty.

"See the Prince." Li Mingyuan clasped his fists and saluted first.

Li Minghao said, "Brother, you don't have to be so polite. ”

Sure enough, Lin Qingran guessed that he would call his brother. Li Mingyuan thought of this, and the corners of his mouth smiled inadvertently.

"Brother, is there anything happy about it?" Li Minghao smiled when he saw him for no reason.

"I just suddenly remembered that Lin Qingran said that the prince would call my brother." He said honestly.

"Oh? This Lin Qingran is still like this...... Bright. In fact, he wanted to say that he was bold.

"Are the princes and Lin Qingran very familiar with each other?" Li Mingyuan asked.

"Familiar, very familiar!" When I was a child, I always asked him to help do bad things, how could I not be acquainted.

"By the way, what about her? Why don't you see her. "Li Minghao wants to meet her.

"She's out shopping." Li Mingyuan said.

"Whatever she can buy is nothing more than food and drink."

It seems that this prince still knows her quite well, Li Mingyuan seems to be a little jealous, "The prince is quite sure of her." ”

"I can't talk about it, it's just that she was like this when she was a child." The crown prince Li Minghao felt the jealousy in his words, and said, "Brother, are you thinking of her?" ”

Seeing his thoughts, Li Mingyuan wanted to cover up his weakness, "There should be a lot of people in the capital who miss her." ”

"Oh? Will anyone miss her? Li Minghao's face was full of questions.

"Prince, what do you mean by this, she is also the first talented woman in the capital, there should be many people who miss her."

Li Minghao laughed after hearing this, "The first talented woman in the capital?? What did she say? ”

Didn't he ask many people to find out? "I asked someone to find out."

"Then your news is not accurate." He smiled and said, "The first talented woman in the capital, she was the only woman in the selection, of course she is the first talented woman in the capital." Hahaha...... "It's also interesting to find out her shortcomings."

"Isn't this ......?"

"I'll talk to you in detail in the future, that's it, she's not here today, I'll come to her next time." The crown prince Li Minghao said and prepared to turn around and leave.

"I still have something I want to ask the prince." Li Mingyuan wanted to inquire about his father.

"Say it." It is estimated that it is the matter of the imperial uncle.

"It's my father, King Dingbei, has the prince ever seen my father?"

"Uncle Huang...... I haven't seen him a few times in the past two years. ”

"The prince has seen it?"

"Every year during the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, Uncle Huang will enjoy the lanterns with us. That's when I saw it. ”

"Qinhuai Lantern Festival?" Li Mingyuan asked suspiciously.

"Yes, it is held twice a year, once for New Year's and once for fifteen. No, there will be another lantern festival in more than a month. Li Minghao explained.

"Oh......" Li Mingyuan thought to himself, then he should be able to see his father at that time at the latest.

"Thank you, Prince, for telling me."

"It's nothing, by the way, there will be an elegant gathering here in a few days, you can come and participate then." Li Minghao felt that he should be able to meet Lin Qingran by taking this opportunity.

"I'll definitely go then." If he can make friends with the prince, he will definitely go.

"Remember to bring Lin Qingran with you, she is very sophisticated." Li Minghao smiled evilly.

"Yes." This Lin Qingran should be experienced!

"Okay, I'll go home first, and we'll talk about it again on the day of Yaji!" It seems that his brother is still quite honest.
