The morning sun in autumn does not bring much warmth, but the sunshine can make people feel happy.
Li Chenan took Zhong Li Ruoshui, followed by Xiao Wu, Wang Zhenghaoxuan, Zhou Shiba and An Zizai.
They arrived at Changyue Alley.
Plum Garden is located in Changyue Alley.
Changyue Alley is close to Zhuque Avenue and quite close to the imperial palace.
But what surprised Li Chenan was that he had actually been to this alley before!
That night of Mid-Autumn Festival.
Although there is rain.
Although the night is dark.
But he had an impression of that archway.
He was also impressed by the octagonal pavilion standing in the middle of the street.
The gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion is directly opposite the Octagonal Pavilion!
Plum Garden is actually next door to the Prime Minister’s Mansion!
Li Chenan suddenly remembered that at the court meeting yesterday, after scolding Ji Tai until he fainted, the emperor announced that he would be given the Plum Garden to him.
At that time, the expressions on the faces of the ministers were a little strange.
Now that I think about it, the weirdness they displayed is actually the most normal thing!
Li Chenan stood outside the gate of Meiyuan, looked at the two stone lions in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, shook his head and grinned:
"Is this the emperor's inner magic?"
Zhongli Ruoshui was also very surprised at this moment. He had been away from Kyoto for nearly ten years, and he clearly remembered that the place next to the plum garden was originally the Grand Master's Mansion. How come it has now become the Prime Minister's Mansion?
From now on, if I live here, I will be separated from the Prime Minister's Mansion by a wall...
She looked up at Li Chenan, feeling slightly uneasy.
"It's okay. Since we have become neighbors, we will keep in touch with each other in the future."
Just when Li Chenan was holding Zhong Li Ruoshui and was about to step into the gate of the Plum Garden, a carriage came from the east end of Changyue Alley and stopped at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. .
In fact, the distance between the two gates is quite far, because both mansions are very large.
Li Chenan didn't notice the carriage. They stood at the gate of Meiyuan for a while and then walked in.
A man and a woman got out of the carriage.
They are Huo Shufan and the sixth princess Ning Shuyu.
The two happened to see the back of Li Chenan and his party.
Ning Shuyu's exposed eyes burst into flames at that moment!
That was supposed to be her Prince Consort's Mansion!
The Prince Consort is here, but the Prince Consort’s Mansion is disappearing before his eyes!
The eldest son of the emperor suddenly appeared and took the plum garden she had worked so hard to decorate as his own!
Whether it was unbearable or not, Ning Shuyu slowly narrowed his eyes and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Brother the Emperor... let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, we'll see!"
Huo Shufan kept watching Li Chenan's back disappear through the door.
He still didn't look away, but felt that all this was just a dream——
He is relatively familiar with Li Chenan!
That guy is really a well-known fool in Guangling City!
Why did he suddenly change from a fool to a genius?
He became famous in a battle on the Mid-Autumn Festival and was given the title of Poet Immortal by the Emperor. What's even more outrageous is that he turned out to be the eldest son of the Emperor and Queen Lu who had been missing for twenty years!
Huo Shufan swears to God, there is no way Li Chenan is the eldest son of the emperor!
Guangling City is not too big. The Huo family is the aboriginal people of Guangling City, and the Li family is also the aboriginal people of Guangling City. Everyone knows the basics. Although the boy from the Li family rarely goes out, he has already heard that he has been unable to study since he was a child!
He really was enlightened at the age of three and could not memorize the Three Character Sutra at the age of eleven!
He also really studied martial arts with Guangling boxer Zheng Haoyang for three years when he was eleven years old... none of this is false!
These were completely unable to coincide with the current Li Chenan, so much so that when Huo Shufan heard that Li Chenan was the eldest son of the emperor, his jaw almost dropped!
He mentioned these things to Sixth Princess Ning Shuyu yesterday, and Ning Shuyu immediately became interested——
She wants to expose Li Chenan for pretending to be the eldest son of the emperor!
But this matter cannot be revealed to his father, because the father has just recognized a son who has been missing for twenty years. It is a time of joy, and no one will be allowed to question it. They may even think that it is a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between the emperor and his eldest son. father-son relationship.
So early this morning, Ning Shuyu went to Huo Mansion to pick up Huo Shufan and brought him to the Prime Minister's Mansion——
Li Chenan scolded Ji Xiang at the court meeting until he vomited three liters of blood. In this world, the person who most wants Li Chenan to die without a burial place is definitely Ji Xiang!
Therefore, if you tell Ji Xiang the details about what happened to Li Chenan in Guangling City, he will probably have a way to deal with Li Chenan!
It is not difficult to verify that Li Chenan pretended to be the eldest son of the emperor, because he still left some footprints in Guangling City and came into contact with many people.
For example, the Guangling boxer Zheng Haoyang.
Also like Shen Qianshan and Shen Qiaodie of the Shen family, etc.!
When the witnesses and material evidence are all there, he, Li Chenan, will not be able to defend him at all!
He will also be executed by the angry emperor Lingchi!
"Let's go,"
Ning Shuyu glanced at the door of Meiyuan again and walked towards the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, "Sooner or later, that place will be ours!"
…
…
The reason why the Plum Garden is called Plum Garden is of course because there are many plum trees planted in it.
Stepping through the door, the bluestone path in the front courtyard is lined with plum trees.
Behind the plum trees are flowerbeds of different sizes scattered everywhere.
Obviously the people from the Ministry of Industry took this very seriously.
The original weeds in the flowerbed have been removed, the branches of the plum trees have been pruned, and the bluestone paths have been cut again, leaving some traces of moss remaining.
The walls, pillars, cornices, etc. have all been repainted, using red, yellow and black paint.
All the glazed tiles on the roof have been replaced, with only a few newly fallen leaves on them.
The pond has been renovated, even the water is new, and the fish in it are also new.
We walked all the way to the main courtyard. Except for the plum trees and the big-leaf banyan tree in the backyard, everything was new.
very good!
Li Chenan likes it very much.
Especially the branches of the big-leafed banyan tree stretched over the wall and reached the top of the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion next door.
At this moment, a dog barked suddenly from next door.
Of course, Li Chenan didn't pay attention, but Wang Zhenghaoxuan, who was standing next to him, suddenly became happy.
Wang Zhenghaoxuan turned his head to look at the wall, then looked at the branches of the large-leaf fig stretched over, and grinned:
“It’s nice here!”
"From now on, we will live in the courtyard next door to protect your safety!"
Li Chenan didn't think of anything else. He nodded, "The emperor will also give me some maids, and some servants will come from Dingguohou's mansion..."
Before Li Chenan finished speaking, an official wearing court uniform hurriedly walked into the courtyard.
Li Chenan turned around and looked, but he didn't recognize him. Could it be that he was here to find him to go to court?
The visitor was a middle-aged man in his forties.
He stood in front of Li Chenan and bowed: "..."
He suddenly choked and didn't know what to call this young man. He only hesitated for three breaths and said, "Huang Xiumu, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, has met Mr. Xiao Li!"
"...what's the matter?"
"I'm late, sir. Please forgive me, Mr. Li!"
"I came here just to ask Mr. Li if there are any dissatisfactions about this courtyard so that I can send someone to repair it!"
Li Chenan suddenly felt happy.
He was thinking about how to make a greenhouse, and Mr. Huang came at the right time.
"Come on, come on, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Huang..."
"I want it like this...this way...well, the entire smoke exhaust is the chimney, facing in that direction!"
Li Chenan pointed at the wall.
