Situ Jiuyun was standing at the door of this mansion at this time, and there were three big characters written on the plaque, no word house.
No words, what does this mean?
Maybe others can't understand it, but Situ Jiuyun, who understands the royal relationship, understands it very well.
There is no word, which represents blank and non-one, and the emperor gave Chu Lushan a new mansion out of royal rules, but he didn't want to give a name to Chu Lung's mansion.
The emperor has a clear estrangement with him, the seventh son of the emperor, after all.
The guards outside the door saw someone coming: "Isn't this General Situ?"
” Situ Jiuyun took two steps forward and said politely, "Is the prince in the mansion?"
” The guard nodded hurriedly: "Yes." ” "Then please pass it on."
"General, please wait a moment."
The guard hurriedly ran into the door to inform the housekeeper, and after the housekeeper passed the rumor, he quickly ran outside the door: "General, please." ” Situ Jiuyun started to enter the mansion, which should have been carefully built by the emperor back then, so the buildings and terraces are still outdated after more than ten years, and they are also exquisitely carved everywhere.
Enter the door of two towering trees, the falling ginkgo yellow leaves fly and fall, cross the bridge, is the front yard of a faction of attics.
At this time, the housekeeper took him into the listening pavilion at the attic of the main entrance, which was where the former imperial concubine loved vocal music, so all kinds of strings were concentrated here, but the first imperial concubine was already very sick when she moved here, and the things here were not used.
At this time, there is a lyre sound coming out of it, and the string music outlined is sonorous and powerful.
At this time, the butler said at the bead curtain inside the door: "Your Highness, General Situ has arrived. ” Chu stopped, raised his head, and looked leisurely under the mask: "Jiuyun, come in!"
” After Situ Jiuyun stepped two steps into the threshold at this time, he saluted through the curtain: "See His Royal Highness the Seven Kings." ” "Do you still need to be so polite between you and me?"
After Chu finished speaking, the slender fingertips with distinct fingerbones picked up the strings again, After Situ Jiuyun heard this, he straightened up and lifted the curtain to enter, only to see that he was dressed in ink-colored clothes, with wide sleeves hanging down on the side of the piano, and his hair was tied behind him casually.
The whole person is like being in an iceberg, and the snow demon is already cold, which makes people feel that they are about to be frozen at first glance.
Today, he only wears a silver half-section mask, and the right side of the mask is printed with a manzhu sawa, revealing a cold lip with a faint reddish color, and his complexion is as white as jade.
Situ Jiuyun, who had never seen his true face, looked at such a person sitting there, and he couldn't connect with the ugliness spread outside.
Situ Jiuyun walked over and sat down: "I remember that when I was at Master's place before, I was tired from practicing swords, and His Highness also played a song for everyone like this." ” Chu Lingxun continued to stroke the sound of the piano: "I haven't moved it for three years." ” "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Master since he returned to the mountains and forests."
At this time, a subordinate came up with a cup of tea, Situ Jiuyun turned his head and saw that it was a young man like a little scholar, Chu was a man who didn't like women to serve, and all the men around him had been serving.
Situ Jiuyun has known him for so long, and he has only seen the young lady of the Liu family approach him once, but on that occasion, the seventh prince also went home to cry for three days and three nights.
Chu Langxun withdrew his finger: "Master loves the mountains and wilderness, and he doesn't like people to disturb him, we just want to go and see, and his old man won't be happy." ” Situ Jiuyun sighed: "It's too." ” Chu looked up at him: "Is there something wrong with coming to the mansion to find this king?"
” Situ Jiuyun smiled lightly at the corner of his lips and shook his head: "I just want to ask, is Your Highness still used to coming back?"
” Chu had a sneer in his eyes: "It's really not used to it, it's much colder in the northwest, and it's still snowing all over the sky this season, so people don't dare to go out, but when you look at the capital, it's still full of flowers." ” "Your Highness is coming back at this time, did the emperor say anything?"
"What can you say?"
Chu looked at him and sighed: "It's not me who should have a headache at this time, it's my ninth brother and second brother." ” At this time, the imperial court was divided into two factions, one faction was the most powerful Anqing Palace, and the other faction, this was the eldest prince Chu Mingluo, because the mother concubine was the current queen and the eldest son, and she was the most powerful person to compete with Chu Juechen for the throne.
Situ Jiuyun's eyes were a little deep at this time: "Having said that, I know that the emperor has always been thin to His Highness, and I am worried about His Highness." ” Chu listened to his words, and a smile rose slightly on the corner of his lips: "Jiuyun, as far as I know, your father doesn't want you to get too close to me!"
” After hearing this, Situ Jiuyun froze slightly, but then, he smiled again in his eyes: "Father, he is the prime minister of a country, and he plays a pivotal role in the entire Chu country, he has never had the heart to participate in the seizure of the heir, and the reputation of the prime minister's mansion can be supported by him, besides, I came to see His Highness, first, for the love of the same family, but because His Royal Highness is not a prince who has the heart to compete for power, no one dares to talk nonsense." ” Chu Lingxun's smile became a little brighter at this time, and he said, "These words are not like what you said. ” Situ Jiuyun in his memory has always been obedient to his father's orders, and he never thinks about these reasons.
Situ Jiuyun smiled helplessly at this time: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, these words were only seen through by the little sister in the family." ” A hint of strangeness flashed in Chu's eyes, but he asked, "Is it Second Miss Situ Xiu?"
” Situ Jiuyun shook his head: "It's my sister Lingxi." ” Chu Lingxun also knew that only she could say such words, so she smiled quietly: "Actually, this king came to Beijing this time, but he hasn't come back for too long, and this Dayue clan's external trouble is solved, so he also wants to come back to see." ” Situ Jiuyun looked at him: "In today's northwest, because His Highness's governance has changed from a perennial bandit place to a gradually wealthy area, in fact, many ministers in the court have also reported to the emperor about His Highness. ” "But my father didn't pay attention to it, right?"
Chu seemed to be smiling at this time, his biological father was disgusted with him after all.
Situ Jiuyun finally asked out his doubts for many years: "Your Highness, in fact, I have never understood why there is such a big gap between you and the emperor who are obviously father and son. ” After hearing this, Chu smiled disapprecantly: "Guess." ” Situ Jiuyun shook his head and was silent.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay and have a bar!"
After Chu finished speaking, he stood up from the piano stand: "Presumably the food in the kitchen is still ready."
The housekeeper brought in two young men in inner service clothes and led Chu Liangxun and Situ Jiuyun to a side hall.
At this time, it was full of wine and food, as if it was waiting for him to come.
And at this time, Lingxi said goodbye to Wen Yitong and got into a carriage outside the Jinyu Mansion to prepare to return home.
