The Emperor's Son-in-Law

"Young Master, the Hongwen Museum has arrived."

Zhang Wu reported at the window.

"You guys find a place to rest."

"I'll come as soon as I go."

Duan Chun nodded, walked out of the carriage and came to the front door steps.

Look at the two sides of the gate with the plaque of Yuci Hongwen Pavilion hanging high.

Two rows of guards stood there majestically.

"The prince of Xia Changguo has come to pay homage to Lord Du Wanqingdu."

"If you'd like, please go forward and pass the news."

Duan Chun said politely, clasping his fists.

However, when he went out today, he did not wear official robes or noble robes.

Just a blue robe.

The chief guard guarding the steps looked at him in surprise.

"It turns out that he is the eldest son of Duke Chang, and his subordinate is General Helian."

"You don't need to send a message, just go in."

"Master Du is in the Qinxin Pavilion, which is the second entrance to the west."

The commander quickly saluted.

"It turns out to be Uncle Helian's people."

"Thank you very much."

Duan Chun immediately understood what he meant and glanced at him with a slight smile.

Stride into the gate of Hongwen Hall.

Hongwen Hall is very quiet, with tall halls on three sides of the main courtyard.

Duan Chun followed Shi Chang's instructions and walked west through the corridor.

Looking curiously at the halls on both sides, many officials inside were carefully reading books.

Each hall is filled with bookshelves and countless books.

Hongwen Museum is actually the National Library...

Duan Chun walked through several halls and came to the second entrance courtyard on the west side.

Qinxin Pavilion is actually located among the green trees on the westernmost side.

It looks like a very quiet place.

Duan Chun walked outside the door of a courtyard covered by green.

Looking at the closed courtyard door, the plaque with the three characters "Qinxin Pavilion" is covered with green moss.

It seemed that no one had taken care of the garden for a long time.

But what surprised Duan Chun even more was that there were two wooden signs hanging on both sides of the closed courtyard door.

Don't let idlers enter, don't disturb mediocre people.

This guy who pretended to be drunk and crazy locked himself in this quiet Qinxin Pavilion.

It seems that he has not had contact with outsiders for a long time.

Duan Chun shook his head and smiled, walked up the steps, and gently clicked the door knocker.

Not long after, footsteps came from inside the courtyard gate.

With a click, the courtyard door opened a crack.

A head stuck out from inside. He looked like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Who are you?"

"Don't you understand the rules here? How dare you knock on the door at will?"

The young man shouted unceremoniously.

"Duan Chun, come to see Mr. Du."

"I wonder if Mr. Du can be in there?"

Duan Chun asked with a smile and clasped his fists.

"Duan Chun..."

"My father doesn't see outsiders."

"If you are not an angel in the palace, please leave quickly."

The young man retracted his head and closed the courtyard door directly.

"It turns out to be Mr. Du."

"I'm here by invitation."

"Please also ask Mr. Du to tell Mr. Du."

Duan Chun was not anxious at all.

Originally, he came here in advance to visit Mr. Du.

As soon as these words came out, the courtyard door opened immediately.

"You...you mean."

"Did my father ask you to come here?"

"Are you the prince of Changguo?"

The young man came out and asked quickly.

"Exactly down there."

Duan Chun nodded.

"You could have just said that he is the crown prince of Changguo."

"My father is often drunk, and he doesn't tell the villain the name of the prince of Changguo."

"I just say that the Crown Prince of Changguo will definitely come to visit today and tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, please come in quickly."

The young man's eyes lit up when he saw Duan Chun, and he quickly greeted him respectfully and opened the door.

"Thank you very much."

Duan Chun walked into the courtyard and looked at the neatly cleaned courtyard.

Qinxin Pavilion has only one pavilion and wing rooms on both sides.

"Your Majesty, why did you come early?"

"My father drank too much today and is sleeping inside."

"I'm going to help the prince wake up dad."

The young man said quickly.

"No need to trouble Mr. Du."

"I'm going to see Master Du. I'll leave after meeting him alone."

Duan Chun shook his head and said.

He met Du Wanqing twice, both times at Jing'an Palace.

This Jiu Nu has been holding the jug in his hand all day long, but Duan Chun understands in his heart.

Du Wanqing actually pretends to be drunk every day.

The two wooden signs outside the door have already made Duan Chun clear about his virtue.

Playing hard and waiting for the master...

Haha, I am not your wise master.

"My father is resting in Qinxin Pavilion."

"Then please go see your father by yourself."

"I'm going to boil water and make tea for the young master."

The young man cupped his fists in salute and turned to one side.

Duan Chun strode towards the door of the attic, stepped up the steps and knocked on the door.

There was no response from anyone inside.

Duan Chun pushed the door gently, and the door opened with a click.

Inside the gate is a main hall, one side is filled with bookshelves, and the other side is covered with couches and tables.

Against the wall, Du Wanqing was lying there with his back.

A slight snoring could be heard.

"The whole world is turbid, but I alone am pure; everyone is drunk, but I alone am sober."

"Master Du's little life was so carefree."

Duan Chun shouted loudly.

In an instant, Du Wanqing sat up.

He turned around and rubbed his eyes, looking at Duan Chun in surprise.

"Young Master, why are you here today?"

"Didn't you agree on the invitation for tomorrow?"

Du Wanqing stood up and saluted with clasped fists.

"This junior has important arrangements tomorrow."

"So I came to visit earlier today."

Duan Chun would not be polite to him, so after saying that, he found a seat and sat down.

"Your Majesty's poem just now..."

"It's just right on the tip of my heart, Du!"

"The whole world is turbulent and I am the only one who is pure!"

"Everyone is drunk and I am alone awake!"

"What a beautiful poem!"

"When the crown prince takes action, it puts Du to shame."

Du Wanqing recalled the poem in surprise and sat next to Duan Chun.

"Master Du, what is the reason?"

"You would rather hide in Qinxin Pavilion and hold an official position of only eighth or ninth grade?"

"You are not a talentless person."

Duan Chun asked with a smile.

"So what if you don't have talent?"

"Even though Du has a talent for managing the world, no one dares to use it."

"It would be better for Du to live in seclusion and read a book, and drink some wine to feel more comfortable."

Du Wanqing smiled and shook his head.

"By the way, Your Majesty, your song is about to be drunk."

"But it made Du obsessed with it for two whole days and two nights!"

"He also helped Du become famous and helped Du get a whole year's worth of drinking money from His Majesty."

"If you don't come to see Du tomorrow, Du will have to go to the Duke's Mansion to find you."

"Du is really uneasy about carrying the title of poet author for you."

Du Wanqing smiled.

"It's just a poem."

"I don't take my name too seriously."

"Master Du has helped me a lot this time."

"You are invited here this time, Master Du, you won't be here just to worry about poetry, right?"

Duan Chun asked bluntly.

"Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. Don't take your false reputation seriously."

"If Du guessed correctly."

"Your Majesty, you have great ambitions and want to do something for the people of the world, right?"

Du Wanqing asked seriously.

"Do something for the people of the world?"

"Well, you think too highly of me."

"What I want to do is to protect myself."

"It's just to make life more comfortable."

"I came to see Mr. Du today just to explain this matter to Mr. Du."

"In case Master Du doesn't misunderstand."

Duan Chun shook his head.

Ever since I first met this frustrated great talent.

With just one unintentional remark, he knew that he was being targeted by Du Wanqing...
