idle king

Chapter 16 The most talented woman in Jinling
Prince Ning's Mansion is located in the east of Jinling City, far away from the Qinhuai River. It took Ye You half an hour in a carriage to finally see Prince Ning's Mansion at noon.

As the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Prince Ning's Mansion naturally occupies a very large area, and the entire street in front of the gate is called Wangfu Street.Since horseback riding and driving are prohibited on this street, Ye Chu had already got off the carriage when he was far away.With the entourage, he walked towards the side door step by step.

In ancient times, the front door of a wealthy family was seldom opened except to welcome people with special status, and people usually entered through the side door.Ye Chu just arrived here, so naturally he doesn't have that much face.

When he came a few feet away from the side gate of the palace, Ye Chu was stopped by a group of guards in front of the gate.

"Who is coming? The forbidden area of ​​the palace, you are not allowed to trespass!" One of the burly men, dressed in the standard imperial costume of the Great Zhou Dynasty, shouted at Ye Chu.

Just for a moment, Ye You felt a buzzing in his ears, and even his brain felt vaguely dizzy.

Which eye of yours saw me trespassing...

After a while, Ye Chu returned to normal, then looked at the man in front of him, and cursed inwardly.

Of course, Ye You could only feel resentful in his heart. Who allowed him to be the forbidden army?Even if you kill yourself here, it won't be a big deal.

As Jinling is the accompanying capital, there are a large number of forbidden troops guarding the city.As King Ning is the actual controller of Jinling, these forbidden troops are also controlled by King Ning.

"Next, Ye Chu, I was specially invited by His Royal Highness to come to visit the palace. I wonder if I could trouble this eldest brother to report?" Ye Chu cupped his hands slightly.

Looking carefully at the young man dressed as a scholar in front of him, the man from the imperial army also looked hesitant.

Many people know that His Royal Highness and the scholars of Jinling had a bad relationship.Ever since the name of 'royal scum' came out, anyone who is a scholar will scold behind his back.

But today, a scholar came to visit, and he claimed that His Highness the Prince had invited him. Could it be that the Prince's style of painting has changed suddenly, and the prodigal son has turned back?

Or does this person have ulterior motives?

But it doesn't look like it, the person in front of him is obviously a scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken.

"You wait a moment, I'll report." Finally, after hesitating for a moment, the man decided to go in and tell the prince.

The prince personally told him that he should communicate with these scholars more often, instead of just communicating with his hands all day long...

Besides, it's in the palace, and there are so many masters around who are on guard secretly, so there won't be any accidents.This is the only scholar who has come to visit the prince in the palace in recent years, so let's save face.

If Ye Chu knew what this man was thinking, he wondered if he would turn around and leave.

The efficiency of the relevant departments in ancient times was high. Not long after, Ye Chu saw his son Zhou Chen rushing out of the side door with an excited expression on his face.

"Haha, just now we were talking about the poem you wrote, and you came here. Did you bring "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Hurry up and take it out for me to see." Zhou Chen glanced at the place while talking. The food box in the hands of a follower, and then carefully touched Ye Chu's body.

I saw the guards of the forbidden army around looked at Ye Chu with weird faces, and suddenly realized.

It turned out to be this kind of relationship, let me just say, His Royal Highness is still His Royal Highness.

"Zhou Chen, I rely on you..." Well, he really didn't dare to say that word, didn't he see the fierce look in the eyes of those imperial guards?

But fortunately, Zhou Chen also felt that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he smiled embarrassingly, then winked and said: "Hey, let's go, let's introduce you to a talented woman, and I will take it as a thank you .”

Cut, it seems that I am very rare.

Ye Chu sneered and snorted, then followed Zhou Chen into the palace.And his entourage, after handing over the food box to a guard, went back.

On the way, Ye Chu handed Zhou Chen the small box containing the manuscript of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".Zhou Chen couldn't wait to open it immediately, and while looking at it, he pointed to the big food box and asked, "What's in it? Something to eat?"

"Didn't I say yesterday that my restaurant will open tomorrow. These dishes are the treasure of the restaurant. So I brought a portion over today to give it to the prince to taste."

"Oh."

Zhou Chen responded in a neutral manner, and stopped asking further questions.As the eldest son, he has tried all delicacies from mountains and seas, so he is not interested in eating.Even if it is unique, how unique can it be?

After passing through several corridors, Ye Chu followed Zhou Chen to a pavilion.Looking up, I saw the three characters of "Xiefang Pavilion" written on the pavilion.In the pavilion, there are two women sitting.

However, since his back was facing Ye Chu, he couldn't see their faces clearly, but judging from their graceful figures, they should be beautiful women without a doubt.

It's a bit funny to say, when people traveled here, they were surrounded by a group of beauties, Yingying and Yanyan, but he was half a month younger, and almost all he saw were men.The only maid, Xiaochan, can only look but can't..., ahem, well, it's a bit evil.

At this time, hearing footsteps, the two women also turned around.

Qin Wanqing glanced at the strange man in surprise, then looked down at the manuscript again.When the Princess Zhou Jing saw that it was Ye Chu, she was startled for a moment, but when she realized it, she suddenly became furious.

"Hmph, you still dare to come." Thinking of him inviting her to the brothel, Zhou Jing felt her teeth itch with hatred.

Zhou Chen was not surprised either, but Qin Wanqing raised her eyes again to glance at Ye Chu, who was dressed as a scholar, feeling a little surprised in her heart.It seems that elder sister Jing recognizes this young man.

"Ye Chu pays homage to Princess Nishang." Ye Chu bowed his hands with a wry smile and said, "Last time the language was offensive, please forgive me."

At this time, Zhou Chen also hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Sister, Mr. Ye can't be blamed for this..."

"You mean to blame my sister and me." Zhou Jing glared at her younger brother and hummed softly.

"Uh, hehe, this..." Zhou Chen scratched his head, giggled, then hurriedly turned his head and said to another beautiful woman, "Sister Qing'er, let me introduce you, this is the one who wrote "Linjiang Fairy" And Ye Chu from "Evening Scenes on the Spring River", the talented Ye."

While Zhou Chen was introducing, Ye Chu was also quietly looking at this strange woman.

I saw that her skin was as fair as fat, her figure was as graceful as a Luoshen, her melon-seeded face, her eyes shone with agility, and her aura was like orchid, which was different from the heroic aura exuded by the princess Zhou Jing. The coldness and aloofness of people thousands of miles away.

After Zhou Chen introduced himself, Ye Chu could feel that the woman on the opposite side looked at him with complicated eyes for a moment.But Ye Chu was not narcissistic enough that he would fall in love with him at first sight.

"This is the number one talented woman in Jinling, the eldest lady of the Qin family, Qin Wanqing." Zhou Chen introduced Ye Chu.

"So it's Miss Qin." After Ye Chu bowed, he didn't say any polite words.

Although the defense between men and women in the Great Zhou Dynasty was not that perverted, when strangers and men met for the first time, apart from lovers seeing each other, they usually stopped at courtesy.Saying too much, on the contrary, is a bit abrupt.
