An Qi looked at Ruyu in astonishment, very strange what was written on the letter, just a few breaths of effort, the attitude of Princess Annan County had changed so much.

The front hall of the Annan County Palace's palace is slightly different from that of the other people, just because the person in charge of the Annan County Palace's house is the county princess, and all matters related to the inner and outer courtyards of the county king's mansion are handled by the county princess, but the county princess is a female dependent, and the age of the prince is not young, so it is not good to live in the inner courtyard with the county princess, so after the front hall of the outer courtyard is renovated, it is temporarily used as the living place before the prince's wedding, and another courtyard is set up next to the front hall to be used as the residence of the prince after the wedding.

The courtyard occupies half of the palace of Annam, which began to be renovated three years ago and was not completed until the beginning of this year, when the weather warms up in the spring, so it begins to transplant flowers and trees, and paint and decorate the walls and corridors.

After the renovation of the front hall where the prince temporarily lived before the wedding, the depression of the past was changed, two rows of plane trees were planted in the open space in front of the court, and the middle of the front hall was the main room for guests, and the room was a piece of black lacquer furniture, the color was darker, but the workmanship was exquisite, offsetting the dark bulkiness, and the color carving was also quite simple and extraordinary.

The east wing is the living place, the west wing is the bedroom, all are covered by black lacquer carved partitions, the azure curtain is embroidered with a slightly darker dark bamboo pattern, a branch overflows obliquely from the hollow partition, and the decoration is quite sparse and bright.

On the east and west sides of the front hall, there are two ear rooms, one is the pantry, and the other is the place where the subordinates on duty obey the orders.

At this time, the front hall was in chaos, the prince returned with serious injuries, and he was lying unconscious in the west wing at this time, and the princess of Annan County almost brought in all the famous doctors in the city who treated external injuries, and it was reasonable for the people in the hospital hall in Chang'an City to turn over on their backs, which alarmed Han Changdu.

Because of the serious injury of the prince, even Zheng Yicheng of the Imperial Doctor's Department was helpless, and the princess of Annan County was already flawless, and she originally didn't plan to see Han Changdu, an uninvited guest, but after seeing the letter he handed in, the shock in her heart was indescribable.

Watching Han Changdui walk in calmly, looking at his confident expression, Princess Annan's heart set off a storm.

What does this person know, what does he discover, what does he want to do, what does he get?

The more Princess Annan thought about it, the more worried she became, and she hadn't thought about what to say until Han Changwan sat down beside her.

There was a purple gold copper incense burner on the high table under the window, and the fine pieces of sunlight fell on it, and a layer of blurred golden light appeared on the incense burner.

The incense burner burned a calming agarwood incense, which slightly diluted the rich bloody gas.

After the awkward silence, the princess of Annan County took the lead in speaking: "Why did Lord Han come?" ”

Han Changdui raised his eyes, looked straight at the messy West Wing, and frankly got straight to the point: "Come and save the world." ”

The princess of Annan County suddenly raised her head and looked at each other in amazement, revealing a frightened look.

When Shizi returned from a serious injury, she guessed that this incident was not an accident, but someone deliberately secretly launched a black hand, and this black hand naturally would not come to the door so blatantly to throw himself into the net, but how did Han Changdui know that there was another inside story about this matter.

Could it be that he is also one of the black hands?

Thinking of this, Princess Annanjun's face sank suddenly, and her voice changed sharply: "It's you, it's you!" As she spoke, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her voice stopped abruptly, glaring at Han Changdui in horror.

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It seems that the princess of the county is not confused, so this matter can still be discussed." ”

The princess of Annan County went from shock to anger, and then slowly calmed down, her eyes narrowed, and there was an endless flowing style, but this ripple was fleeting, this style was cold and piercing, she said with a little mockery: "The envoy doesn't have to want to indulge, what you want to say, just say it." ”

Not to mention that Han Changwan didn't intend to say it directly, even if he wanted to say it, he wouldn't say it in front of so many people who didn't know the roots.

The princess of Annan County also knew that there were many people here, and it was not a place to talk about things, she was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't bear to speak first, although she was full of resentment, but she spoke politely: "Please move to the council hall with the envoy." ”

As she spoke, she stood up with Ruyu's hand and walked out without the slightest pause, without waiting for Han Changdui at all.

Han Changdui picked his lips imperceptibly, and followed with his hands behind his back.

Ruyu turned her head to glance at Han Changdui, and said in a low voice, "Niangniang, it's noon." ”

Princess Annan also turned her head to look at Han Changwan meaningfully: "Let's pass on lunch." ”

Han Changwei and Princess Annan walked side by side, quietly looking at this mansion that was famous in the capital.

As the king of the county, he can occupy a place in the sixteen royal mansions, and in the middle of the ordinary mansions are located the courtyards of the masters' houses such as the front hall and the main house, but in the middle of the palace of Annam-gun is located a lake.

Out of the front hall, Han Changwan and his party walked a few steps, and then they felt the clear and damp moisture, he looked up, and a rippling clear wave across the small half of the front yard and the back yard came into view, which is rare in Chang'an City, where every inch of land is valuable.

Just a few steps away, the group walked to the lakeside, Han Changdui looked at it, only to see a small island dotted in the middle of the clear lake, the island faintly visible tree shadows and pavilions, because it was too far away, it was not clear to see the whole picture of the pavilion, and the reflection on the lake surface rippled with the waves.

White waterfowl skimmed briskly across the lake, causing small ripples to float away in the distance.

There is no bridge over the whole lake, and the blue water is bottomless, and it is obviously impossible to pass through the water.

The princess of Annan County saw that Han Changdui was looking at this place, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, please wait, the ship will arrive soon." ”

Han Changwan nodded lightly: "It's okay." ”

But after a while, a boat stopped on the shore of the lake, saying that it was a boat, but in fact it was a two-story painting boat, with very exquisite carved beams and paintings, and the upper and lower two-story pavilions could accommodate forty or fifty people to swim in the lake.

The princess of Annan County was faintly proud, and raised her chin: "Your Excellency, please." ”

Han Changdui heard the arrogance in the words of the princess of Annan County, he was very unimpressed, he was born in Jiannan Road, Jiannan Road has many waterways, and the sails on the rivers are like clouds, this kind of boat painting boat is the most common, that is, people who have lived in Chang'an for a long time, and rarely see the magnificent scenery of thousands of miles on the big river will be rare This kind of building boat painting boat.

Thinkers

He boarded the boat with a blank face, and the boat left the lake, broke through the water, and rowed towards the island in the middle of the lake.

Standing at the bow of the boat, he saw the high wall separating the forecourt from the inner courtyard, extending from the shore of the lake to the outer wall of the mansion, which was very cleverly placed, dividing the lake into almost the same two parts, in a straight line with the island in the middle of the lake.

And the lakeside on both sides of the front yard and the inner courtyard are two different landscapes.

Located in the front yard of this section of the lakeside around a circle of white marble railings, the railings carved with four seasons of grass and trees, different shapes, each with its own wind bones; In the distance, a section of the lake in the inner courtyard is surrounded by a vermilion railing, which is too far away to see the material and carving, and can only be vaguely distinguished that the top is painted red.

The blue lake, the green trees, and the red and white railings complement each other well.

The painting boat divides the water, the sound of the water is rattling, the lake water is obviously living water, the water color is clear, the water vapor is clear, it makes people sweep away the depression, and the heart is relaxed.

Han Changwan squinted, feeling that the craftsman who built this lake scenery back then was really clever, and nodded lightly, implicitly appreciating: "This lake is good." ”

The princess of Annan County chuckled in her heart, and glanced at Han Changdui quietly, she couldn't see any abnormal expression on his face, she smiled as usual, and her mind was a little confused about remembering the old people: "This concubine is a native of Yangzhou, and after marrying into the county king's mansion, she misses her hometown, and the county king leads the living water into the mansion and builds this lake, and the island in the middle of the lake is also in the style of Yangzhou, and the envoy can go to the island to see it in a while." ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal: "The princess of the county and the princess of the county have a deep affection, which is enviable." ”

The princess of Annan County seemed to be immersed in the old people and old things, and did not have the meaning of Han Changdu's words, looking into the distance, her face was stunned.

As the boat moved towards the island in the middle of the lake, it became farther and farther away from the front yard, and the lake in the inner courtyard became more and more visible.

The vermilion railing is impressively carved with flowers at four o'clock, and the beautiful scenery of flowers is vivid, in a thousand postures, as if you can smell the fragrance of flowers.

The lake surface of the inner courtyard is completely different from the empty front yard lake, the lake surface is full of lotus flowers, the blue lotus leaves are endless, this season, the lotus flowers have just emerged from the bones, a little bit of tender red is scattered among the lotus leaves, especially delicate and lovely.

The lotus leaves here grow densely impermeable, and there is a circle of reeds more than one person tall along the lakeside, and the lotus leaves and reeds cover most of the lake.

Han Changdui squinted, such a lake seemed to be impossible to sail, he was still thinking that a lake connected the front yard and the inner yard, if it was a person with good water quality, even if there was no boat, the water could be passed.

But now it seems that it is indeed not easy, although there is no boat to swim in the water, but under the water surface of the lotus, there must be a thick layer of silt, the waterway is complicated, people rush into it, sink into the mud, I am afraid that I will not be able to fish out the body if I die.

Han Changdui's heart jumped inexplicably, such a lush lotus flower is an excellent place to bury bones.

As long as the silt is cleared, the secrets of the bottom of the lake will never see the light of day.

Han Changdui looked into the distance, remembering the old news about the palace of Annan County.

The chamber of the palace of the prince of Annan County is probably the most unlike the chamber in the capital, when the king of Annan was alive in the past, the chamber did not discuss anything seriously, but it was staggered every day, singing and dancing constantly, and almost all the gentlemen in Chang'an City watched the dance and music here, drank and had fun.

Could it be that the king of Annan is indeed as unambitious as rumored, and he has such a lake for a long time, just to please the princess of the county, or to indulge in fun.
