The carriage stopped in front of Prince Jin's Mansion, and the guard's voice was heard, "Your Highness, the Prince's Mansion has arrived." Prince Jin's Mansion is located in Fupingfang, next to the palace city, and only separated from the palace city by a small road. The Jin Palace was specially built by Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty when he appointed Yang Zhao as the King of Jin. It covers an extensive area of ??nearly 200 acres and is magnificent and magnificent. King Jin¡¯s concubine Liu and her three sons lived here. Except for March, April and August, when King Jin was away from the palace, he also lived in the palace with his concubines and children at other times. There are hundreds of maids, eunuchs, and guards in the palace. The horse house on the left side of the palace alone, where horses are kept and raced, covers an area of ??more than thirty acres. Yang Zhao and others got out of the carriage, and dozens of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace rushed out and kowtowed to welcome His Royal Highness King Jin back to the palace. Yang Zhao has a gentle personality and never beats or scolds his servants. He smiled apologetically to everyone and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry this time and didn't bring you gifts." He asked again: "The princess and the three "Is the young prince okay?" "Father, you are back and you miss us so much." Three young children ran out of the house, followed by a noble, beautiful, and tall woman who must have been her. The princess is said to be a woman, but she actually looks to be at most twenty years old. However, her clothes are elegant and luxurious, which makes people think she is a woman. Yang Zhao married very early and gave birth to his eldest son Yang Tan at the age of fifteen. Yang Tan was already six years old, his second son Yang Tong was four years old, and his third son Yang You was only three years old. Although their father was obese, the three children were All of them are cute and cute, with handsome appearance. Yang Zhao squatted down with a smile and took his three sons into his arms. The eldest son Yang Tan had already started to read and understood a little truth, while the second son Yang Tong and the third son Yang You were smart and naughty, climbing up on their father like climbing a mountain. Yang You even climbed up on his father's shoulders and grabbed his ears. Yang Zhao was not angry at all. He smiled and allowed his sons to play naughtyly on him. Yuwen Chengdu watched from a distance. As the saying goes, autumn can be seen in a leaf. He suddenly felt that this Yang Zhao was a generous and kind person. "Don't you know the emperor's aunt?" Ruyi walked forward with a smile, held a small flower dang, shook it, and called out. Yang Tong and Yang You turned their heads and saw their aunt. They immediately rolled off their father's body and ran towards their aunt, wanting the gift in her hands. At this time, the princess had already walked up, and together with Ruyi, she held the naughty children and asked them not to cause trouble. Yang Zhao stood up, turned around and smiled at Yuwen Chengdu and said, "General, please come in," and then said to Lao Xiong and everyone, "Don't be too restrained, everyone, come in." Yang Zhao welcomed everyone into the Jin Prince's mansion. The Prince of Jin's Mansion is very large and is divided into four courtyards, the front yard, the backyard, the east yard and the west yard. The front yard is mainly used for receiving guests, the back yard is where the Prince of Jin lives with his wife and children, and the east yard is the horse farm and martial arts training ground. , the west courtyard is the residence of the slaves. This person and everyone followed Yang Zhao to the front hall of the front yard, where they sat down according to the guests of honor. They saw the maids coming in carrying tea and fruits and placing them in front of everyone's tables. "Come, let's drink some tea and eat some fruit first. Later, we will have a banquet. The heroes and generals are having a good drink." Yang Zhao held up the tea and said to everyone. After a few sips of tea, Yang Zhao chatted with everyone about the border and asked some interesting and weird stories about the border. Everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very easy-going. When they talked about how everyone raided the Turks, Yang Zhao took advantage of the situation. Saying some complimentary words made Lao Xiong and the others very helpful. Yang Zhao was very approachable and made people feel as if they were chatting with their own friends. Yu Wencheng couldn't help but secretly admire the fat man in front of him, who was more powerful than his father Yang Guang. At this time, the eunuch came to report that the banquet was ready, and invited everyone to come to the banquet. At this time, the guards at the door brought the beard in. After a joyful banquet, Lao Xiong and others were already drunk, so everyone responded to Jin Wang Yang Zhaozhi's kindness and stayed in Jin Wang's Mansion that night, where a full moon filled the room with silver light. On the branch road, the palace is exceptionally quiet. "Master, go this way!" The two palace maids each carried a bright orange lotus lantern to lead Yuwen Chengdu. Through a round courtyard door, Yuwen Chengdu came to the guest room area. This is the west courtyard of the palace, which is even more empty. , the guest room area alone covers an area of ??five acres, with more than 100 houses, including exquisite single courtyards and rows of single houses. Most of the rooms are empty and closed, and only a few small courtyards are dimly lit with lights. "Young Master, we're here!" Two palace maids stopped at the door of a small courtyard, pursed their lips and said with a smile: "We won't go in, we will wait for you here." "Thank you both!" Yuwen Chengdu bowed his hands to them and walked in In the yard, there is a leafy apricot tree in the yard, which is three or four feet tall and towering.stand. Yuwen Chengdu walked to a lighted door and knocked lightly. "General!" Xiaoyun opened the door, saw the general, and saluted. Yuwen Chengdu walked into the door and said with a smile, "You can just call me brother Yuwen from now on." Then he looked inside and asked, "Is Peony awake?" "I'm awake, but I'm not in a good mood." Xiaoyun was a little bit whispered worriedly. Yu Wen Chengdu nodded and walked in. He saw Peony leaning on the bed, staring expressionlessly at the night sky outside the window. The moonlight shone on her pretty face, making her very cute. Yuwen Chengdu felt that his heart suddenly suddenly felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He walked slowly to the front of the bed, stretched out his hand to pull a stool, and sat in front of the bed. Seeing that Mudan still maintained the same expression, Yuwen Chengdu said Mudan held the slender pieces in her hand and said, "Mudan, are you okay?" "Master!" Mudan slowly turned around and looked at Yuwen Chengdu intently. Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she screamed, throwing herself at Yuwen Chengdu. crying in his arms. Because in Mudan's eyes, the only person she can rely on is her young master. "It's okay, it's okay" Yuwen Chengdu patted Mudan's back and whispered comfort. He knew that no matter how much words he said, it would be useless at this time. Being by her side was the best comfort. In the memory of Yuwen Chengdu, Yuwen Chengdu knew that Mudan had grown up with him since childhood, and Mudan had regarded himself as someone he could rely on. Although Yuwen Chengdu didn't know what happened to Mudan in Liu Jushi's house, he had almost expected it when he saw Mudan like this. Yuwen Chengdu's eyes flashed with blood, like a vengeful wolf, shooting fiercely, waiting to give the hateful enemy a fatal blow. Yuwen Chengdu glanced tenderly at Mudan, who was already asleep on the bed, turned around and whispered to Xiaoyun beside him, "Xiaoyun, I will take care of Mudan without you." Yuwen Chengdu walked out of the small courtyard. Just now The maid standing at the door said, "General, His Highness is looking for you. Let me see you come out and take you there." Yuwen Chengdu followed the maid to a pavilion not far away, and saw a person standing in the pavilion.
