"Tong Zhenye, that old man, dare to invite himself to the Qinglou?" Ren Baqian was about to kneel.

Ren Baqian's mind turned, does the empress know what kind of place it is? Who would have nothing to tell her about the Qinglou.

To go or not to go?

Do you need to ask this question?

Of course go!

I really haven't seen what the Qinglou in this world is like, I heard that the ancient Qinglou women were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I went to see it for a long time, even if the old man of Tong Zhenye was bold, he wouldn't arrange one for himself, right?

Ren Baqian turned his head to show a puzzled face: "What is Qinglou?"

The ignorant are not guilty, anyway, I don't know where Yunyan Tower is, Your Majesty, if you want to blame, go to that old man.

"Let's go, Lord Shangshu will have a banquet, it's not too late. Ren Baqian greeted everyone, and rushed forward in a hurry.

Everyone hurriedly followed, looking at Ren Baqian's eyes full of admiration, I don't know what are you doing so fast?

Ren Baqian didn't care what they thought, anyway, he had a statement when the time came.

Even if he knows that he can't do anything if he goes, it's better to go and see for a long time.

However, he patronized and went to the Qinglou to see it, but he forgot a sentence: Ask how much sorrow you can have, just like a group of eunuchs going to the Qinglou.

Although he is not a eunuch, he is probably not as good as a eunuch in this place in Qinglou, and people can still do it, does he dare?

There is a street between Shihu District and Wudaogou District, which is called Jing Street, but it is generally called Sidayuan Hutong.

There are very few people here during the day, but at night it is brightly lit, and you can see all kinds of mounts and carriages everywhere, especially the people from other countries in Lancheng love to run here, especially the envoy of Daxia in Lancheng, Gu Zicheng, who lingers here for 20 days out of 30 days a month.

Jing Street is known as the Four Great Courtyard Hutong, mainly because it is thought that there are four courtyards here, which are Baihuayuan, Qinghuayuan, Zhuyue Pavilion and Jinyu Pavilion.

In fact, these courtyards are all gentle women from Daxia, Yun, and Chen, which are very different from the women of the ancient tribe, in addition to the merchants of various countries in Lancheng, there are also many ancient people who like to linger here.

As for the ancient women, not to mention their pungent temperament, they don't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Many of them are stronger than men, even if they go into the mountains to hunt, they will not be left unfounded, so not a single woman of the ancient tribe can be seen in such a place.

Among them, Yunyan Building is the most famous building in Baihuayuan, and the people who enter and exit this building are people with status, and this building is not accepted without a certain level. Moreover, most of the women in it are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not only Daxia, Yun, Chen, but also gentle women among the immigrants of Haoguo.

Ordinary people can't enter this building at all, so there is the most speculation about this building, and the reputation of this building is far and wide.

Ren 8,000 cattle galloped wildly, under the guidance of the guards, two pillars of incense came to the four courtyards to contract, at this time the sky was getting dark, the lights on the pavilions on both sides were lit up, and there were rows of lanterns hanging on the courtyard walls, the scenery was excellent.

You can already see a lot of people coming and going on the streets, mostly people from the other three countries with guards, and these people are very low-key. There are also some children of the big guys in the Dayao Dynasty who are walking crab steps, exuding a fierce aura all over their bodies, and they don't even look at the people of the other three countries, and even collide directly, if you don't dodge, you will be unlucky.

Ren Baqian looked around left and right, but he saw two faces and was a little impressed, as if he saw them when he was hunting some time ago. When he saw other people, other people could naturally see him, after all, so many guards around him were dressed as palace guards, and many people were startled when they first saw it, thinking that it might be His Majesty coming.

Immediately lift your mind and look at it.

When I saw Ren Baqian who was surrounded in the middle, I suddenly realized that it was this guy.

Then they all widened their eyes, how dare this guy come to this place? Not to mention anything else, many people have to give a thumbs up for this guts.

In a carriage moving slowly against the side of the road, two men sat opposite each other, one handsome and the other handsome.

These two people are the Zhang family Zhang He Qi and Zhang He Ju who followed the fifth uncle to Lancheng.

"Is that guy?" said the two of them in surprise when they saw Ren Baqian surrounded in the middle through the gap in the curtain.

"How dare he come to Qinglou?" Qi Zixiao knows?"

"Three, don't call them by their first names here, be careful to be heard. Zhang Heju was also surprised, but he still warned that there are many Dayao officials here, and many of them are not low, in case someone hears it, the two of them are afraid that they will be unlucky.

Zhang He Qi closed his mouth, and then said, "Do you say that Emperor Dayao knows?"

"What if you know or don't know? Zhang Heju said softly while looking at Ren Baqian, who was surrounded by ten guards.

At this time, a guard close to the direction of the two seemed to notice his gaze and turned his head to glance at it.

Zhang Heju immediately lowered the curtain, afraid of being noticed.

"We've been here for more than two months, and there's no progress at all. Zhang He said jealously. If that Ren Baqian was an ancient clansman, he wouldn't have any jealousy, and he would take it for granted. But he is also an outsider, but he was chosen by Qi Zixiao as his husband, and the two of them have not made any progress in Lancheng for more than two months.

In comparison, his appearance and knowledge, which aspect is not better than him? But Qi Zixiao chose him.

This made him how to balance in his heart.

Not only him, but even Zhang Heju. However, Zhang Heju's thoughts were deeper, and many words were not revealed.

"I heard that a few days ago, Emperor Dayao was killed because he ran to the Nine-Fold Pavilion, and even the third-rate flowers were killed, and the entire Nine-Fold Pavilion was destroyed, which is really terrifying. However, it can also be seen that Emperor Dayao really values him, and is even willing to take risks......"

......

Ren Baqian stopped in front of a courtyard and turned his head to look left and right: "Here?"

"My lord, this is it. Xu Wei nodded and said.

Ren Baqian looked at the gate, there was no sign hanging, and there were two ancient men with knives standing at the door. This place looks like a green building, and why does it look so much like a prison?

But looking in from the gate, through the courtyard is a small building, inside there is a woman's laughing voice coming out, but there is a rockery in the yard to block most of the situation inside, you can hear the sound, but you can't see anything, it's even more itchy.

After getting off the mount, Ren Baqian strode in with Xu Wei and a few guards, and the mount was naturally placed.

"Your Excellency. "At the door, the two big men of the ancient clan hugged their fists.

Ren Baqian guessed in his heart that this place was probably opened by a senior member of the court, otherwise the ancient people would not accept the employment of foreigners, let alone do such work as guarding the door.

Although his guess was not right, it was not far away.

Not only Baihuayuan is, but also several other courtyards.

Although it is not the background of the senior members of the DPRK, it is the background of the four metropolitan protectorates.

In addition to the central capital protectorate, the four major courtyards have the background of the northern, northeastern, southeastern, and southern metropolitan protectorates, and part of all the proceeds are also used as military funds to purchase materials in various countries to supplement the army.

It's not the background of the Metropolitan Protectorate, but the Four Metropolitan Protectorates themselves are the background of the four compounds.

Therefore, in the past few decades, there have always been four major courtyards in Lancheng, and there are only four large courtyards.

......

"Yunyanlou...... I seem to have heard it before. The empress held her chin with one hand and was in a daze.
