Chapter 256 What is the meaning of the depths of falling flowers?
Jiang Xingwan just listened and didn't think deeply. Feng Yu's last words were not meant for him. He had not noticed this before. It seemed a little dangerous that his ghost sect's headquarters was hidden here.
, but being able to hide it for so long, it seems that the senior sisters and the others are more capable than they thought.
The man moved quickly and without any hesitation, he soon arrived at the door of the mansion and handed back the token.
"Please forgive me, Your Highness Prince Huai and Your Highness the Princess. Your Majesty has invited me."
Feng Yu didn't say anything. Naturally, people you don't know should not be let in easily. This is your duty.
Just as Feng Yu was about to go in, the guard raised his hand to stop him, a little embarrassed and speechless.
"What's the meaning?"
"Here, the prince said to invite His Highness and the Princess to come in. He didn't mention this girl. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get in."
Feng Yu concentrated slightly, but he didn't expect that Prince Sheng's Mansion would be so powerful.
For a moment, without forcing him, he turned to his right and looked at Jiang Xingwan.
"Then I'll go find a place to stay first."
"I have some money here, as well as this carriage. You can take it with you and keep it for your convenience."
After saying that, Feng Yu silently glanced at the empty space behind him, not knowing what clue he was looking for.
Jiang Xingwan did not refuse, took the money bag, got into the carriage, and gradually drove away.
Feng Yu stood at the door and his voice became a little louder.
"Uncle Prince Sheng, my nephew hasn't visited me yet. It's a bit late, so he shouldn't be treated like this. He should save some face and steps. How will my nephew lead the army in the future?"
An old man wearing a coarse cloth seemed to be lame, and his right foot was a little bumpy when he walked. He slowly walked in front of everyone.
"Your Highness, Prince Huai, must be. My prince asked me to take you with him. He said he was sorry, but he didn't mean to embarrass you. Who knew you still wanted to command the three armies?"
The hair on the head was a little messy, the eyebrows were light, the beard was not long, but a little white, his hands were full of calluses, and he was holding a bucket of water in his hand, which was almost overflowing. He looked at Feng Yu, slightly
He smiled, revealing his teeth, which were quite uneven and a little yellow and green, like emeralds set in gold.
Seeing Feng Yu staring at the mouth of his teeth, the little old man stretched out his hand and took it out without any image, "Well, I'm sorry. I ate in a hurry at noon, and the vegetable leaves are still stuck to my teeth."
He chewed it a few times and swallowed it, then wiped his hands randomly on his body a few times.
Qin Junyue couldn't help but laugh, which actually made the man blush, "Your Highnesses, let's go in, the prince is waiting."
The guards next to them showed no expression at all, and they didn't know whether they were trained to be like this or if they were just used to it.
Step by step into the palace, Feng Yu saw that the surroundings had changed. The original guards guarding the door were not weak in strength, and the patrols coming and going were all organized, but other than that, there was nothing surprising about it.
The royal palace that has been dignified for decades shouldn’t just be like this?
This was not Qin Junyue's first time here. He was used to some of the decorations and had been following closely behind the old man and still in front of Feng Yu.
"What do you call this old man?"
The yellow teeth were exposed, showing his honesty and honesty, "Hey, Your Highness, you can just call me Lao Ling, that's what the prince calls me."

Qin Junyue turned around and spoke to Feng Yu, "Seventh Brother, I also call you that, and Uncle Wang also allowed it."
"Old Ling, if this is the case, it is really offending. I would like to ask, is there no one else in Uncle Wang's house except these guards? It seems that I only saw servants on the way here."
That old Ling didn't look back, he just walked forward, limping a little, his posture was not good-looking, and he was carrying a bucket of heavy water. But when he spoke, his eyes always made people feel a little bit vulgar.
I feel that the dark yellow and thin old face looks a little malnourished.
"The princess is not in the palace, she said she went out to visit relatives. Originally, there were not many maids in the palace. There are almost not a few left. There are some servants, including Lao Ling, but most of them are not in this courtyard. It is normal to see few of them. Your Majesty.
It's not extravagant on weekdays, and it doesn't hire many people. How can I get paid if I'm an old guy?"
The courtyard that turned around, or rather a manor, was still a bit far away from the center of the palace. It should be in the south direction. It seemed that I was going to the manor to meet him.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the prince is fishing at Cuishan Lake over there. We are going there. Except for official duties, the prince likes to stay in the garden and never come out."
It can be seen between the lines that Lao Ling has been here for many years, and he does not shy away from speaking. He is quite an old man.
A forest of plum blossoms appeared in front of us. They were in full bloom, and many petals fell on the ground. The petals were white and pink, like cherry blossoms, but they could bloom in winter.
The old Ling smiled silly, "Hey, this plum tree forest is one of the prince's favorites. It was specially transplanted by someone. The area is large enough. And, the most strange thing is that I don't know where I got the saplings.
The plum blossoms here bloom all year round and never change!"
Qin Junyue jumped forward, her eyes filled with surprise and excitement. That's right, what girl doesn't love flowers?
"Wow, do they bloom all year round? In my impression, plum blossoms are only in winter! There is not a single plum blossom tree like this in my father's imperial garden, and I don't know how many of them came here before." He was very happy as he spoke.
Mixed with regret.
Feng Yu had no comfort, because he had never seen such a tree or such a flower, and he was really helpless and didn't dare to take any chances.
"I am afraid that no one in the world will ever smell this kind of exquisite product. I really envy Uncle Sheng. I have this companion with me every day, and the fragrance of the flowers is astonishing."
Lao Ling didn't answer. It seemed that he wasn't interested in the plum blossoms and didn't know much about them. However, he immediately grabbed Qin Junyue who almost dived in.
"Hey, Your Highness, please slow down, my old arms and legs can't keep up, so don't go too fast, wait for Lao Ling!"
The look on his face almost frightened him for a moment, "Old Ling, what's wrong? You're worried that I might be lost. Don't worry, I won't complain to Uncle Wang. It's not the first time I've seen this forest.
"
Lao Ling suddenly looked left and right, lowered his body suddenly, and spoke quietly to the two of them, as if he was afraid of being heard.
"I heard that there was a man-eating monster living in the woods. Some people went in before and never came out again. I thought it was a legend at first, but then many people came in and disappeared. After that, no one dared to mess around.
If I break in, I usually dare to leave only after the prince speaks. At that time, the monster will listen to the prince and sit still, so it won't eat people."
Qin Junyue is a little bit happy
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He didn't even believe what Lao Ling said, and he laughed, "Who are you trying to scare, Lao Ling? Only my mother could scare me a few times when I was a child. I don't believe it, unless you let that monster come out and let me see it!"
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Lao Ling swayed, tilted his legs, and hurriedly pouted three times under a plum blossom tree.
"Your Highness, you can't help but say these nonsense, be careful not to offend the monster!" Judging from his nervous look, it seems that there is really a monster in the plum forest that is particularly scary.
Feng Yu didn't believe it, but he didn't refute it.
Even if there are monsters in the garden of the palace, they have been cleared away long ago. Some of them are still kept. They are probably pets raised by Uncle Wang himself. They generally do not eat people. If they were tigers or something, they would have been locked up long ago.
This Merlin is only for him to play with.
Qin Junyue looked at Seventh Brother. He kept staring into the forest without saying anything. He thought to himself: Is there really a monster in there? I've walked through it before and haven't seen it before?
"Seventh brother, inside,"
"Don't be afraid, just follow Lao Ling and we'll be fine."
The three of them walked slowly step by step, sometimes turning left and sometimes forgetting right, leaving a trail of footprints on the ground.
"Follow the marks on the ground. This is how you have come here before. If the prince says so, the monster will not dare to come out."
After all, Lao Ling was an old lame man. Although he could walk fast, he didn't make much progress in a long time.
Qin Junyue was a little afraid of this. The fragrance and beauty of plum blossoms could not seduce her.
"Brother Qi, can we go faster? I'm a little scared."
Feng Yu stretched out his hand and held the little girl's hand tightly to encourage her, but did not speed up the pace. He still followed Lao Ling, the distance was always just right, not a step further nor a step closer.
Prince Sheng Qin Xiao, who was fishing, was sitting in a small building on the shore with a fishing rod, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait. Suddenly he said, "This fish is quite smart, but it didn't take the bait. Did you throw away the fish food?"
not enough."
The guard standing aside remained motionless while the maid poured a large amount of fish food into the lake.
"Pour more, don't be stingy, there are so many!"
Another handful of fish food entered the lake.
An old man in civilian clothes looked about the same age as Lao Ling. The small house by the lake was five stories high. He was sitting by the window on the fifth floor, playing chess alone. He didn't know whether it was black or white, and there was something in his mouth.
From time to time, a sentence comes out, probably only for myself.
"Falling here? No, falling here is dangerous. This game is difficult to play."
A man next to him who was drinking tea and reading a book patted the table with his book and said impatiently: "Hey, hey, you old guy, just do it if you want. Can you calm down for a while? Why are you talking so much? It seems like you are doing it.
Just win!"
"Read your book, don't talk nonsense if you don't play!" After saying that, a black chess piece fell. The force was very light, as if it was put down quietly, but it could not move at all, as if it could endure the wind and rain.
.
Prince Sheng was sitting where he was. Although he couldn't hear the noise upstairs behind him, he still replied, "You two, it's enough, that's enough. People are coming soon. Why are you making so much noise? I'm raising you guys."
I love spending time with this king, reading books, playing chess and fishing, but quarreling is not what I like."
