Chapter 290 The Palace
Prince Xin's Mansion was not located within the Imperial City, but was built in the Southern District. Han Li and others arrived at the intersection of the Southern District after riding in a carriage for an hour.
The residential styles in East District such as South District and Qinzhai are obviously different. Most of them are regular and standard buildings.
The official position and status of the people who live here can be clearly understood by looking at the size and style of the residence.
The residences here were all built by the government, and were allocated to officials strictly according to their grade and title. No one dares to expand or modify at will, otherwise they will commit the crime of overstepping the rules.
As Prince Xin is a relative of the emperor and a prince, naturally his residence is one of the best in the Southern District.
The area of his mansion is only half the size of Qin's house, so it can be called a giant house.
When the carriage stopped in front of Prince Xin's Mansion, Han Li immediately felt the noble aura of an honorable minister that could only be found in the secular world when he saw the mansion.
The gate of this mansion is about five to six feet high and three to four feet wide. It is covered with thick brass skin, and dozens of huge door nails are inlaid on the facade, making the door extremely luxurious and dignified.
On both sides of the nearly ten-foot-high steps, there is a ferocious bronze lion statue placed on each side. The whole body is polished and sparkling, and the whole body is bright. It is very eye-catching!
But what makes people feel the majesty of Prince Xin's Mansion the most is the sixteen neatly dressed guards standing on the steps outside the gate. These people were specially borrowed by Prince Xin from the imperial guard camp in the imperial city to prevent people from entering the palace. There are many accidents happening.
The manager of Prince Xin's Mansion is a lean little old man. He is taking the place of his master, Prince Xin. He greets every new guest on the steps with a smile on his face, not daring to neglect any guest.
At this time, dozens of carriages of various sizes were parked in front of the mansion, almost occupying the entire open space in front of the mansion.
On the huge bluestone steps in front of the door, there were five or six guests who had not yet entered the house. They were chatting with each other. Their clothes were gorgeous and their movements were elegant. They seemed to be people of high status.
Seeing all this, Qin Yan straightened his clothes and got out of the car smoothly.
Han Li looked around cautiously and felt relieved when he found the presence of immortal cultivators.
As for the young masters and ladies of the Qin family, they got off as soon as the carriage stopped. They are now standing in front of the house, discussing something excitedly.
Han Li looked at the guests who were still on the steps, and found that in addition to the juniors from the Qin Mansion, the other guests were also here with their children, nieces and other young people.
"Could they all be invited by the so-called young prince, or is it simply Prince Xin's Mansion who deliberately gathered these young people here in this name?" Han Li thought for a while and felt that he had no clue, so he glanced at Qin Yan .
He had the same frown on his face, obviously a little surprised by this.
"Grandpa, let's enter the mansion! The young prince and the others are waiting for us!"
A young master of the Qin family who was sixteen or seventeen years old saw that the old man had been standing near the carriage without moving a step. He couldn't help but, encouraged by other brothers and sisters, he boldly stepped forward and said this, for fear of being scolded by Qin Yan. pause.
"Okay, I got it. Everyone, let's go in!"
To this person's surprise, after hearing this, Qin Yan nodded casually and agreed cheerfully. This makes this person really flattered! I couldn't help but excitedly returned to those peers.
But before Qin Yan could lead a few people over, the palace's housekeeper immediately saw the Qin family's group after dealing with a guest. Immediately, he came forward with a smile on his face. As soon as he arrived, he said enthusiastically:
"Master Qin, you are finally here! My prince has been talking about it a few days ago, saying that you haven't come to the house for several days. It's better to hurry up! When the prince sees Mr. Qin, he will definitely Extremely happy!”
"Haha, isn't this recent..."
This manager of the palace is really not an ordinary eloquent person. Just a few words can make the listeners feel happy and feel warm in their hearts!
Qin Yan couldn't help but laugh, and chatted with the manager for a few words with a calm expression.
However, because there were still guests arriving at the palace one after another, he let Qin Yan and others into the palace without even saying a few words to Qin Yan. Then after saying his humble words, he hurried out of the house.
Although Han Li stayed by Qin Yan's side, he didn't say a word. But when he looked at the back of the manager, a trace of doubt flashed across his face.
For some reason, Han Li clearly didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations in this person, but when the manager came closer, Han Li suddenly felt a little creepy, as if he was being approached by some terrifying monster. This made Han Li extremely uncomfortable!
Although Han Li didn't know why he was like this, he had always been very confident in his own feelings, so he immediately put the palace manager on the list of people who must be careful and suspicious.
"Nephew Han, let's go! Let me introduce some uncles I haven't met yet!" Qin Yan said to Han Li with a smile when he saw the manager leaving.
This made several other Qin family members standing on the other side of Qin Yan feel sour in their hearts, feeling that the head of the family was too partial.
But Han Li just smiled in his heart, knowing that this was actually Qin Yan creating an opportunity for him to stay with him forever, so he agreed without any hesitation.
Then he was led by Qin Yan into the reception hall of Prince Xin's Mansion.
There were about a hundred people in the hall. Although there seemed to be a lot of people, in fact most of them came in groups of two or three. Of course, only two or three families like the Qin Mansion came with seven or eight people at a time.
At this time, Prince Xin has not yet appeared in the hall. It seems that he will not show up until the guests have arrived.
As soon as Qin Yan appeared at the door of the hall, several familiar family friends immediately greeted him warmly.
Qin Yan naturally dealt with them one by one with fists, and after scanning his eyes, he apologized to others, and walked towards an old man with a sick face. A man and a woman were sitting next to him. A young man.
The man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a steady look on his face. Although the woman's appearance was ordinary, her big eyes were blazing. She turned unceremoniously to the junior behind Qin Yan several times, and Han Li was naturally within the scope of her glance.
"Brother Hua, I didn't expect you, the great doctor, to show up here! I thought that with your temper, you would refuse to come to such an occasion." Qin Yan said unceremoniously as soon as he walked up to the old man. He sat down and joked softly.
"Ahem! I really didn't want to come at first, but the strange disease of the prince's favorite concubine was actually cured. This makes me very curious. I want to see which master has such a wonderful ability to rejuvenate!" The old man who called Brother Hua didn't take it personally at all. He smiled slightly and said softly.
"Oh! So, it's no longer a rumor that Prince Xin once asked me to treat this concubine of hers. Isn't it true that Brother Hua's medical skills can't cure this disease?"
Han Li was extremely surprised when he saw Qin Yan. It seemed that this old man's medical skills should be very famous in Yue Jing.
"Haha, there are all kinds of strange diseases in this world. With Hua's medical skills, it is a pure luck that he has achieved such a reputation today! There are some strange and difficult diseases that cannot be cured. What's so strange about it!" The old man smiled nonchalantly and seemed to be very open-minded. Very open.
"But I still don't believe it. There is a doctor in Yue Jing who has better medical skills than me?" Qin Yan shook his head and said, seeming to have great faith in the old man's medical skills.
But after hearing this, the old man surnamed Hua smiled faintly and said nothing, but pointed at the man and woman beside him and said:
"Huanan, Huafang, you have seen them before. Come here and give your Grandpa Qin a present!"
The old man surnamed Hua was obviously very majestic in the minds of these two people. As soon as the man and woman said this, they did not hesitate at all and hurriedly came over to greet Qin Yan.
"Haha, I didn't expect that your two grandsons, who I haven't seen for several years, are already so old. I don't have much good things on me, so I'll give you these pair of jade pendants as a meeting gift!" Qin Yan said kindly, He touched his body and took out a pair of white jade pendants inlaid with green emeralds. At first glance, they were valuable items.
Fortunately, the man had a strange look in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. The woman's face was filled with joy, and she stared at the pair of jade pendants with intense eyes!
"It's worthless. If you want it, just go ahead! Brother Qin and our family are not outsiders!" When the old man surnamed Hua saw this, he couldn't help laughing and scolding.
After hearing this, the man and woman dared to take the jade pendant from Qin Yan's hand. The woman's expression was extremely excited.
"Except for this one, I have met several of the other juniors behind you. Could this be your nephew who has just arrived in the capital?" The old man finally set his sights on Han Li and looked up and down with some interest. Keep looking at it.
"Yes, this is Han Li! The descendant of one of my elders."
"Nephew Han Xian, this is your Uncle Hua, one of the two great doctors in Yue Jing. He is as famous as Dr. Ye, the imperial doctor who specializes in treating the emperor!" Qin Yan then remembered that Han Li had not been introduced to this person yet. Here's an old man.
"Hello, Uncle Hua!" Han Li shouted honestly to the other party.
"Well, not bad, not bad!" The old man surnamed Hua really didn't see anything outstanding about Han Li, so he just praised him casually.
But when he thought about the recent rumors related to this young man, he hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his skinny hand, took out a small white bottle from his arms and handed it to Han Li.
"This is a bottle of heart-protecting pills that I carefully prepared! Although I dare not say that it can cure all diseases, ordinary ailments and injuries are not a problem. Just give it to Nephew Han for self-defense!"
As soon as the old man said these words, Han Li immediately felt the envy and jealousy of several children of the Qin family behind him. Hua Nan and Hua Fang also looked a little surprised. Apparently, the reputation of this "heart-protecting pill" was not high. Small!
(Haha, I didn’t expect that we were a little tired from coding last night and just wanted to take a nap, but we fell asleep in no time!)
