After a spring breeze, spring really comes.

A half of the rainbow hangs in the sky, like a trestle between the blue sky and white clouds. The ancient branches and buds along the street are secretly pumping, and the air also has the scent of jasmine flowers.

Yingtian Mansion is a very beautiful city, but its beauty is hidden in the thick and powerful city walls. This beauty has been preserved for thousands of years. If ordinary people look at the flowers, they can only be dazzled by themselves. Only by being in it and calming down can they know a little about one or two and appreciate the poetic and picturesque meanings.

Just like the Duke of Wei’s Mansion near Wudingmen, the southeast corner of Yingtian Prefecture, this land is close to the Yangtze River, with a lake inside and an continent in the lake. The continent is covered with reeds, and the countless egrets are flying until autumn, like a painting.

It was also in line with Li Taibai's poem, falling from the blue sky for three and a half days, and the two waters were divided into Bai Erzhou!

Therefore, this place is called Bailuzhou.

A carriage covered by green curtains slowly stopped at the side door of the back garden of the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

Three entrances are houses, five entrances, seven entrances are mansions, and seven entrances are mansions. The entire Duke of Wei’s mansion is composed of seven courtyards of different sizes around the lake. The pavilions and towers are arranged in a scattered manner, and quietness is quietness in tranquility, and deepness in the quietness...

At the intersection of the street, on the magnificent Xujiamen Tower Archway, there is the word "Dagong" written by the old man himself, so this place is also called "Dagongfang".

Originally, this was the residence of the old man when he was King of Wu. Later, after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he gave it to the former King of Zhongshan Xu Da. Xu Da refused to accept it, and the old man had to give it to him again. Once, after the two brothers got drunk, the old man simply asked someone to carry Xu Da to sleep on the bed where he used to sleep.

Xu Da was frightened and bowed devoutly to the direction of the palace. However, although he accepted the mansion given to him, he never lived there. Instead, he built the Xu family's house opposite, and this area was regarded as a garden.

"Young Master, we're here!"

The casual guard Deng Ping gently lifted the curtain, wearing royal blue robe-shaped cloud pattern, Zhu Yunyu, with a round neck and narrow robe, slowly came out from it.

The robe he wore was inherited from the costumes of the Tang Dynasty. It was slightly zipped, not only showing the tall figure of a young man, but also looking free and capable. In the Ming Dynasty, this was the regular clothes of men, and they could be worn at will from the emperor to the people.

In front of the garden gate, Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, stood with his family, and saw Zhu Yunyu get off the carriage, and quickly leaned over to salute, "I will meet the emperor!"

"Okay, I'm here to your home, and I'm in vain again. These big rules will be spared, otherwise how could I stay comfortable?" Zhu Yunsheng waved his hand with a smile.

In fact, it was a bit casual to come here today. As soon as the court meeting in the Qianqing Palace ended in the morning, the Duke of Wei, Xu Huizu, met alone and insisted on asking Zhu Yunsheng to come to his garden to enjoy the flowers.

Moreover, the reason given was that Zhu Yunyu could not refuse. This was where the Supreme Emperor lived in the past, but the emperor had never stepped down. It was spring when the flowers bloomed and the minister invited the emperor to visit the garden to appreciate the old stories of that year.

At this time, a slightly cramped woman slowly stepped forward to salute, "My wife has seen the emperor!"

Zhu Yunxiu had met this woman several times. During the New Year Festival, she followed Xu Huizu to the palace to meet her. She is Xu Huizu's wife Zhang, a woman of not very high origin.

Speaking of which, this matter in the Xu family's house is also a bit disgusting.

Xu Huizu was not Xu Da’s true eldest son, but the eldest son of a illegitimate child. His mother was Xu Da’s side family Jia.

Xu Da has two wife, the first one is Zhang, who is the old man's sister-in-law, the ancestor of the Jingjiang King's lineage and the younger sister of Zhu Wenzheng's biological mother.

But Zhang died before she gave birth to her. During this period, Jia gave birth to the eldest son Xu Huizu. Then the old man took the initiative to grant Xu Da's second daughter directly to Xu Da, which was Xu Da's later wife Xie. Xie Zaixing's eldest daughter was promised to Zhu Wenzheng.

Xie is Xu Zengshou's biological mother. Because of his relationship with Zhu Di, Xu Zengshou, who is still in Yunnan, is actually Xu Da's nominal son.

But Xu Zengshou, the legitimate son, was not very good at kissing him. His grandfather Xie Zaixing later didn't know which string was wrong in his mind. As the earliest brother who followed the old man, he actually betrayed and surrendered to Zhang Shicheng.

With the old man's temper, this person naturally had no good ending. Moreover, the brothers and sons of the Xie family were not left behind. However, there was no guilt for Xie, who married Xu Da.

Unofficial history records that the old man later ordered someone to kill Xie's family, but it was just a deliberate distortion. In fact, the old man was very nice to the two women.

But with such a grandfather, Xu Zengshou's youngest son, in Xu Da's eyes, is definitely not as good as Xu Huizu in the eyes of the old man.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Huizu was strictly trained as the legitimate son of Duke Wei. Even in education, the old man came forward to study with the crown prince Zhu Biao.

But in the marriage, Xu Da politely rejected the old man's suggestion that Xu Huizu marry the daughter of a wealthy family. There was a rumor that Princess Shang was pushed back. Instead, she found such a Zhang family from the countryside of Huaixi.

This Zhang is the niece of Xu Da’s first wife, Zhang.

In other words, she and Xu Huizu were actually cousins. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Zhang family was not very good to Zhu Wenzheng's biological mother, but was just an ordinary family. But Xu Da still chose her. Although there were some reasons why they did not marry the nobles of Huaixi, they probably also had some sincerity to miss their deceased wife.

Zhu Yunxiu looked back, and behind Zhang were several young men, Xu Huizu's son Xu Qin, nephew Xu Maoxian and Xu Jingchang.

Further backwards were the women who bowed their heads, all of whom were the female relatives who were named Xu's mansion.

He was about to withdraw his gaze but then he paused and fell on the face of a girl in a lilac palace outfit.

At first glance, this girl is not as beautiful as the country, but she can’t stand her look, and the more she looks better.

The girl stood so humble and arrogantly, and while she was extremely quiet, there seemed to be a hint of sorrow between her eyebrows. The oval oval face looked fatter and thinner, and the sunlight quietly sprinkled on half of her face, emitting a youthful luster.

As if he felt Zhu Yunxi's gaze, the girl looked up in surprise and then lowered her head quickly. But in the blink of an eye, Zhu Yunxi captured the girl's shy gaze with a little anger.

"Ha!" He smiled in his heart.

"Emperor, Emperor..."

"Oh!" Xu Huizu's call made Zhu Yunxi look away with gratitude. Even the emperor had no reason to stare at other women. This is the Xu family. If other women were not there to greet them.

"Follow me to enter the park!" Xu Huizu smiled.

"Okay, today I will take a good look at your old residence in the past!" Zhu Yunxiu walked with a smile, and walked into the park surrounded by a group of people.

Duke Cao Li Jinglong was a few steps behind and walked at the end of the crowd. He looked at the pavilions and pavilions around him with emotion, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Xu family has rarely visited the park, and it was the first time he came to this garden. He thought his mansion was the first in the capital, but now compared to Jin Bi, there may be such elegance, but it is not as elegant as this.

Another important reason why he rarely came to the Xu family and even kept a certain distance from Xu Huizu since childhood was related to Xu Da's legitimate wife Xie.

Xie's father was Xu Huizu's nominal grandfather Xie Zaixing, who was killed by his son Li Wenzhong.

Moreover, the male members of the Xie family were all captured by Li Wenzhong and sent to the old man himself.

There is another story here. When Xie Zaixing's brothers and sons stood at the head of Yuhang City when Zhang Shicheng was defeated, they shouted to Li Wenzhong, "If you save our lives, we will open the city to surrender."

Li Wenzhong was young and soft-hearted and pity the lives of his soldiers, so he promised him that I would not kill you. Therefore, Yuhang City was defeated without attacking.

But later when he sent all the men from the Xie family to Yingtian Mansion, the old man ignored those.

"You Xie Zaixing is my nephew's father-in-law, I am in-laws, and an old brother who has been with me for many years. What's wrong with you? You dare to betray us and kill me?"
