Qingyang City is the capital of the Great Chu State, and the emperors of all dynasties built their capitals here. As dynasties changed, Qingyang City continued to expand accordingly.

Up to now, it has covered an area of ​​more than [-] mu, with a permanent population of more than [-] households. It is the most prosperous and largest city in the entire Great Chu.

The Fu family's carriage had already arrived at Qingyang City, and they entered the city from the south. There were three city gates in the south, Xuanyi Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Xuande Gate.

In addition to the south side, there are also three city gates on the east and west sides, all of which are heavily guarded.On the north side are the Imperial City and Miyagi City, and the only Xuansheng Gate is only available for the royal family to travel.

They entered the city from Xuanwu Gate, passed Zhuque Avenue and then walked eastward, and the Prince Yu's Mansion was on Dongzheng Street to the east of the imperial city.

The imperial city is in the north direction. Dongzheng Street on the east is mostly the residences of the royal relatives and relatives, and Xizheng Street on the west is mostly bureaucratic residences. Two streets guard the imperial city from the left and right sides.

Walking through the bustling Zhuque Street, after the carriage turned right into Dongzheng Street, there were immediately fewer pedestrians, and the more people walked in, the quieter they became. Occasionally, carriages or sedan chairs would pass by them.

Prince Yu's Mansion is in the middle of Dongzheng Street. Before you get close, you can see the closed gate of Prince Yu's Mansion. On the top of the red vermilion lacquered gate hangs a black plaque of nanmu wood with golden silk. big characters.

After Chu Xiangtian went to the border, he seldom lived in the palace. Most of the time he was either training in the barracks outside the city, or he was called into the palace, and at other times, he was at the border.

After coming back once a year ago, Prince Yu's mansion became deserted again.

They came back in a low-key way, and even the palace didn't know the news in advance. When the carriage arrived at the gate, Chu Xiangtian asked his servants to take the tokens and go in. After a while, the servants came back, and the manager of the palace rushed over to open the main entrance. The carriage was welcomed in.

The name of the chief of the palace is Li Deshun. He is over 50 years old. He is fat and handsome. He is the personal eunuch who has served Chu Xiangtian since he was a child.

It's a pity that Chu Xiangtian hardly lives in the palace. Most of the time, he and a group of servants guard the empty palace. Finally, the prince said a few years ago that he was going to propose a marriage, and urged them to prepare the dowry. It was very lively A few days later, he disappeared again in a blink of an eye, and he didn't even come back for years.

Li Deshun trotted along beside the carriage, smiling happily, "Will the prince take a bath first or eat first?"

Chu Xiangtian lifted the curtain of the car, and ordered: "Let the dining room prepare the meals first, and then there will be the lady and lady, let people clean up Wuyuan first."

Li Deshun wrote them down one by one, and then he stretched his head to peer inside.

After entering the palace, Fu Tian tidied up his clothes and sat in the carriage. At this time, he noticed Li Deshun's gaze, turned his face slightly, and nodded to him reservedly.

The concubine looked like a friendly person, so Li Deshun respectfully called Lord Hou, and asked, "Do you want to clean up Lord Hou's yard first?"

Chu Xiangtian gave him a dissatisfied look, thinking that he had no wink, and waved away people, "Master Hou sleeps in the same room with me, do you have good eyesight? Hurry up and arrange meals, don't be an eyesore here."

Li Deshun chuckled twice, happily went down to arrange lunch.

Putting down the car curtain, Chu Xiangtian pulled the serious young master over, smiled maliciously, "They should call you princess."

Fu Tian glared at him and pushed him away, "Don't touch me, your clothes are messed up by you."

Chu Xiangtian let go of him graciously, smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes by the way, and said with a low smile, "Is this going to make the concubine proud?"

Fu Huang's ears were warmed by what he said, so he simply pretended that there was no such person, and ignored him for everything.

The carriage stopped in front of Jiashun Court, which was Chu Xiangtian's daily residence, and the carriage containing Fu Tian's luggage was also left behind, and the rest of the carriage followed Fu Youqin's carriage to Wuyuan.

The servants unloaded the cages and moved them all to Chu Xiangtian's bedroom.

Chu Xiangtian led him around the familiar place in Jiashun Garden before entering the inner room.

The servants who came in to wait on him were all male servants. Fu Tian couldn't help but twitched his mouth when he saw a tall man coming over to pour tea.When the people retreated, Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

Fu Tian took a sip of tea, and spoke slowly, "The servants in the palace are all so... so..." Big and big?

Seeing his expression, Chu Xiangtian understood what he meant, and said a little proudly: "They are all retired soldiers. Those who are lonely have nowhere to go, so they stay in the palace. They usually do some work and get more money. .”

What he didn't say was that in the past few years, someone saw that he was not married, and they thought they could take advantage of it, so they sent women to him all day long. Later, he got annoyed and sent them all back at once. I have never bought maids, and even the work of serving tea and water is done by male servants.

He suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and called his servants to come in and ordered: "Ask Li Deshun to see if there are any available maids in the mansion. If there are no maids, pick a few maids, and Wuyuan will take care of them. Just go to the warehouse to get it."

As he was speaking, Li Deshun came jogging over, and said with a smile: "The old servant is about to report this matter, so Wuyuan will let a few old mothers take care of it first." After Chu Xiangtian drove away, there were only a few older nuns left.Fu Youqin and the others only brought the maids to serve them personally, so it was inconvenient that there were not enough staff.

Li Deshun rushed in and saluted the two of them, "My lord...Your lord," he turned around and said, "The lunch is ready, should we go to the dining room to eat it or have someone deliver it?" come over?"

Fu Huang looked at Chu Xiangtian, who squeezed his hand, leaned closer and asked, "Shall we eat in the house?"

Fu Tian glanced at him, then withdrew his hand, "Anything is fine."

Chu Xiangtian let out a "tsk", and said to Li Deshun, "Call someone to bring it here, where is Wuyuan?"

Li Deshun had never seen his prince take care of others like this, and the more he looked at Fu Tian, ​​the more he felt that the two were indeed a good match, and it took him a while to realize, "The one in Wuyuan has already been sent there, and the boat is exhausted. Madam and Miss I'm tired, I just need to take a rest after lunch."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Fu Tian with a smile, "This old slave has never seen the prince treat anyone so meticulously."

Fu Huang pursed his lips unconsciously, his ears were a little red, he was always thin-skinned in front of outsiders.

"Hurry up and pass on the meal, and prepare everything that is lacking in the house as soon as possible," Chu Xiangtian said a few words in a good mood, but now he immediately became impatient and started to chase people away.

Li Deshun was obviously used to his temper, and retreated with a smile.

After a while, someone delivered lunch and set up a table in the main room outside.When they came back suddenly, the kitchen didn't know Fu Tian's tastes, so they guessed that they cooked all kinds of cuisines.

After lunch, Chu Xiangtian led someone to digest food. Fu Huang was forcibly held by him, his fair face was flushed, but Chu Xiangtian had been single for more than 20 years, and now he finally had a fiancé, and even lied to him When he arrived at his own territory, he wanted to show off to everyone: he was leading Kanglehou, his fiancé, and the future master of the palace.If it wasn't for the fear of making the young master angry, he would have even wanted his servants to call him the princess.

Walked for a long time against the cold wind.Chu Xiangtian was still a little unsatisfied, but Fu Tian really felt a little stupid, so he kicked him with a straight face, and someone reluctantly led him back to the house to rest.

On the first day in Qingyang, Chu Xiangtian sent a message to the palace without informing anyone, and then he never took anyone out.

But he didn't say it, but it doesn't mean that people outside don't know. Several carriages suddenly came to the gate of Prince Yu's Mansion, and later they were greeted in person by the chief executive of the Palace. Guess it was probably King Yu and the new Kanglehou who came back.

The marriage of two men, one of whom is the powerful King Yu who holds the military power in his hand, is hard not to let people think deeply.

After the rebellion of the two kings last year, the mild-mannered emperor suddenly became strong. All the officials of the two kings and one faction were cut off and replaced by the emperor's own staff. Now that this is happening again, many people speculate whether King Yu has "made great achievements", so he came up with such a way to show his loyalty to the emperor.

I really don't blame these people for thinking too much, but no one can figure out how it is possible for King Yu to go to the south and suddenly fall in love with a man.And even if King Yu is really infatuated, if he wants to marry a man, can the queen mother in the palace agree?

As we all know, all wives with marriageable daughters are called into the palace by the queen mother to drink tea and enjoy flowers. The queen mother has been worrying about King Yu's marriage. A man is married.

It is impossible to think with your toes.

Before Fu Tian even showed his face, the royal relatives, relatives, aristocratic families of Qingyang City had already set the ending for him-the shield that King Yu came here temporarily.

And the emperor's conferment of Kanglehou was obviously helping him stabilize his status as a "concubine". With such a male concubine around, it would be impossible for any family to let a well-trained daughter be a side concubine.

Fu Tian stayed in the palace and didn't know anything about the rumors outside.

Because the second day after they arrived, the palace sent a decree, saying that the Queen Mother had summoned them.

However, the Empress Dowager sympathized with their exhaustion, so she asked them to rest for a whole day, and then enter the palace after resting.

There is no specific date set, but it is impossible for Fu Tian to procrastinate. He has been learning palace etiquette with Chu Xiangtian for the past two days.

He originally wanted to ask Li Deshun, but was blocked by Chu Xiangtian and insisted on teaching him himself.

This teaching lasted for two days. Fu Tian had never entered the palace, and he was secretly nervous, but Chu Xiangtian was not used to the rules. He said he was teaching him, but he was not serious. Touch here and touch there, or else Just find an excuse to say that you don't concentrate on studying, and you have to "punish him".

Fu Tian was annoyed by him, and finally couldn't hold back when Chu Xiangtian reached out to wrap his arms around his waist, and stomped on him hard.

Chu Xiangtian grinned in pain, looked at the young master's ferocious expression, and muttered "little white-eyed wolf" in a low voice.

He saw that Fu Tian had been nervous since he received the news, so he wanted to coax him to be happy. Who knew that he didn't succeed in coaxing him, but he was beaten instead.

The young master didn't appreciate his painstaking efforts at all.

After realizing that it was impossible for this person to teach him well, Fu Tian still called Li Deshun over.
