The next day, Xiao Yan was asked to report to King Shen's mansion, saying that he wanted to pay a visit today.

Xiao Yan came back an hour after he left, saying that the prince was waiting for him in the mansion.

He took the scroll of Shen's collection of paintings, looked at Ruan Qin, and took it after hesitation.

A mansion in the west of Bianjing City near the Da Neihe River is the mansion of King Shenjun. The words "Shenjun Wangfu" are not hung on the door of the mansion, but only the three characters "Fengzuiyuan" are hung on the door of the mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, a servant came to greet him.

"Mr. Shen, the prince is waiting for you in the backyard. Please come with me." The steward Jin of the palace led the way, leading Shen Bai and Xiao Yan to go back.

The black and white tiles on the roof, and the traces of raindrops on the horse's head wall are obvious. Maple trees are planted everywhere in the mansion.

In autumn, the maple leaves are green and red, and the unburned red candles in the palace lanterns on the stone pillars are still standing. Waiting for the night to come will be another scene.

In the backyard of Fengzui Garden, half is the exterior of the moat, and the other half is a living lake brought in by the river. There are no lotus plants in the lake, but there are many duckweeds floating around.

The maple trees on both sides are patchwork, separated by rockery arches, and the curved corridor divides each maple tree into different scenes. At every step, a bamboo curtain is hung from the mahogany pillars under the eaves of the corridor to block the sunlight.

Zihuan sat in the small pavilion staring at the maple leaves that fell into the lake in a daze.

There was news from the palace that he would be named Prince Shen, which would be the only prince in the entire court.

But at the same time, he can no longer return to his own fief. The emperor must follow the ancient system and establish a court discussion system of the three lords and nine ministers. The court meeting system will become the highest institution for decision-making of state affairs just like the imperial court.

The Mingtang has been renovated, half of which will be high-level civil and military officials, and the other half will be all relatives of the emperor.

Although he was under surveillance in Xianyang, he was free after all. Although he went further in name here, he seemed to enter a cage with an empty name. With a light sigh, Shen Bai had already appeared at the corner of the corridor.

Looking at the person who was casually watching the scenery in the garden, he was dressed in a white robe, covered with a silk black corset, with a simple bun on his head, wrapped only with a white rayon towel.

There was a pleasant smile on his lips.

Zihuan looked a little dazed, maybe this person is his biggest gain from coming to Bianjing.

"Brother Zihuan?" Shen Bai stood in front of him and looked at him in a daze.

Zihuan showed a smile: "Brother Shen, sit down quickly, you still call me brother Zihuan, it really makes me happy."

"Oh? Brother Zihuan also called me Brother Shen in front of the emperor. If I knew you were noble, I would be unfamiliar with you. It's really not what a gentleman does." Shen Bai sat down generously, and smiled at Zihuan.

"Brother Shen is a real celebrity, so he is naturally different from ordinary people."

"That being said, there is something wrong with Zihuan." Shen Bai said to him.

"Oh?" Zihuan clasped his fists and cupped his hands: "Brother Shen is also invited to attend the lecture."

"I don't know your name until now, this is your fault!"

"Haha!" Zihuan smiled softly, swept away the melancholy just now, and stood up: "I'm Yu Wenye."

Shen Bai also got up: "Shen Bai is polite."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and sat down together.

Xiao Yan delivered the painting, and Ruan Qin was placed on a small table beside her, and was led down to drink tea by Butler Jin.

"This is my father's collection of paintings, let's use Fengya to increase your maple garden!" Shen Bai handed the painting to Zihuan.

Zihuan took the scroll but didn't open it, but put it aside: "You come to see me, it's worth a thousand gold, why give me the paintings collected by Xueshi Shen, we were called brothers just now, aren't you being heretic again?" ?”

Shen Bai smiled: "I don't call you prince, it's already disrespectful outside, if there are officials who speak up, I will be sued."

Zihuan shook his head disdainfully: "What can I do to the rotten Ru? , I’m afraid it has already been secretly investigated in the palace.”

"Su Yu?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

Zihuan used tea to rewrite the word "Shu Yu" for him to read, "This man is the nephew of Concubine Xian, who leads the six guards and three towns of the Bianjing Imperial Army. He has been working outside for the emperor before, and now he came back suddenly. He wears the Yiyun Sword on his waist, which is the sword worn by the Son of Heaven, it can kill hundreds of officials below the second rank, and dispatch forbidden troops from all over the place."

Shen Bai told about the person he met in the canal, and Zihuan thought for a while: "It should be him. He has a guard under his command, wearing a corseted dragon robe, a black cloak, and all equipped with a wild goose feather sword. mighty."

Shen Bai nodded: "He knew me right away in the canal, it seems that he has already investigated me."

Zihuan showed a shy smile when he heard the words: "Who is not the same, I'm afraid it is the same. But it will be better in the future, and I can often communicate with Brother Shen in Bianjing."

"You, isn't the fief in Xianyang?"

"If you can't go back, you will be named prince, and you will stay in Beijing to participate in court discussions in the future."

Shen Bai nodded, did not speak, but finally had a little understanding of Yu Wentuo's layout.

"Where's your cousin Li Lu?"

"Training in the Beijing North Camp, after the next year I may be transferred to Beiyuan or Liaodong." Naturally, Zihuan didn't care about Shen Bai's question, and just said it.

"People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, but in the temple everything is up to God." Shen Bai said with emotion.

Zihuan looked at him and smiled.

"What?" Shen Bai raised his brows and asked him.

"No, I'm just flattered that brother Shen can confide his heart in front of me like this."

"There is no need to defend against you. This is my intuition, and it has always been accurate." Shen Bai said leisurely, as if sitting opposite him was his old friend for many years.

"I play the Xun well, how about playing a piece together?" Zihuan took a jade Xun from his waist and said.

"This is ancient music, so I naturally like it." As Shen Bai said, he got up and took the Ruan Qin: "Your master and I will follow."

"it is good!"

The sound of Xun is deep, hazy, and endless.

When Ruan Qin's sound of harmony is played, the melody contains a kind of melancholy for the autumn feelings and the loss of things around me, but the melody is changing, the meaning behind the strings is advancing, and the time flies, the two voices are perfect Kneading together, the sky is high and the clouds are light.

In the maple drunk garden, the breeze is rippling, the maple leaves are gently swinging, and time seems to stand still.

"Cousin Ye, where did you invite the luthier!" A female voice came out out of season.

A girl dressed in a honey-colored shawl, a silk lotus leaf skirt, a gold hairpin inserted into her shiny black head, and a face like a silver plate stood in front of the pavilion with a group of maids, looking at Shen with frivolous eyes. white.

"Presumptuous!" Zihuan put down the xun in his hand, and looked down with displeasure.

Manager Jin rushed over in a hurry: "My lord, calm down, it's because I didn't pay attention, Miss Biao came in from the back garden."

"Cousin Ye, I just miss you, so I came here to see you, why are you so presumptuous." The lady said with a gag, looking like she was about to cry, but she looked at Shen Bai with a look of anger.

"Come if you come, what did you say just now?" Zihuan looked at her angrily.

"I'm just asking, what's the matter!" the woman burst into tears after she finished speaking, and the maids and mothers next to her tried to persuade her.

"My lord, Miss is also unintentional, please forgive me." A group of women persuaded in one go, the garden was suddenly chaotic, Shen Bai frowned, and the atmosphere just now was completely wiped out.

"Go on all the way." Zihuan waved his hand and said.

"No, I'm going to stay here with my cousin." The young lady leaned against Zihuan stubbornly and sat down.

"Brother Shen, I'm sorry." Zihuan stood up and apologized.

Shen Bai put away Ruan Qin, said with a light smile: "It's okay, but I don't want Zihuan Xun to be extraordinary, let's get together some other day!"

"This!" Yu Wenye stood up reluctantly, Shen Bai nodded, indicating that he was fine, got up and left.

"Who is this person, so arrogant, he doesn't say hello when he sees Miss Ben." The sitting lady looked at Shen Bai's leaving figure and said.

Yu Wenye rolled her eyes and left with a flick of his sleeves.

"Cousin wait for me."
