Traveling through time and meeting fellow villagers, the secret code is right

When the group arrived at the depths of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, they saw a tranquil artificial lake with clear water. A two-story modern villa stood on the water, like a floating palace. The villa was built of wood and exuded a natural atmosphere.

Coming out of the gate of the house, there is an empty small courtyard, surrounded by a two-meter-wide corridor, like a guard. A small arch bridge is like a rainbow lying on the waves, connecting the lake and the land, and the water under the bridge is gurgling, like a poem or a painting.

There are willow trees hanging by the lake. When the breeze blows, the willow branches sway and dance gracefully, as if welcoming everyone's arrival.

"Mom and Dad! This house is amazing!" Yi Lei couldn't help but exclaimed after touring the house.

The house has two floors. The hall in the middle of the first floor is a unique building-within-a-building layout. On the left is the kitchen and dining room, and on the right is a spacious bathroom, which is obviously carefully designed to meet Yi Lei's need to take a bath. There are also two small rooms for servants in the same row, with a reasonable layout.

There are stairs on both sides leading to the upper floors. On the left side of the second floor are Yilei's room and study, and on the right are two guest rooms, which are independent of each other. The stairs on both sides can directly lead to the third floor, which is a hollow design with a roof covering it. The surroundings are empty and only eight pillars support the roof. This is a great place for leisure, entertainment, and meeting friends for tea.

After returning from Yunxiao Mountain, whenever the emperor met the Prince of Jin, he would blame him for sending his son to a poor place, complaining about the poor food and living conditions there. However, the emperor forgot that he had also sent the Prince of Jin there.

And every time the Empress Dowager saw the threshold that the Emperor and Yi Lei had cut down together, she would mention Yi Lei!

King Jin knew that life in Yunxiao Mountain was hard. If Yi Lei had not been so stubborn, how could he bear to let his son suffer? He could not bear to let his son go through the hardships he had experienced, so he wanted to do something to make it up to his son.

Xia Mu came up with this idea to build a unique house for his son. This is deep in the Prince Jin's Mansion, and it is particularly quiet! There are still many open spaces by the lake, all of which have been carefully decorated, and Yi Lei can also practice here at ordinary times!

New house lobby

Yi Lei pulled his parents to sit at the upper seat.

"What are you doing? We haven't even looked closely at the house yet!" Xia Mu was pulled to a seat by his son, sitting side by side with Prince Jin, and said in confusion!

Yi Lei straightened his clothes, knelt on his knees, bent his body forward, supported himself on the floor with his hands, and kowtowed three times in a row with his head down!

"Dear parents, I have just returned from my studies and I should kowtow to you to express my gratitude! I have missed you all these years and I will do my best to serve you in the future!" Yi Lei suddenly said to his parents with a serious face.

"Yilei..." Xia Mu's hands froze in the air, her mouth wide open. After calling her son's name, she was speechless. She suddenly realized that her son had really grown up and was no longer the little kid who was naughty and causing trouble with her all day long!

King Jin was also shocked by his son's behavior. He sent his son to Yunxiao Mountain just to make him change his temper and become more stable. Unexpectedly, his son not only achieved academic success, but also knew how to be filial!

"Yilei! Get up! Don't kneel anymore!" Prince Jin wanted to get up immediately and help his son up, but his inner excitement made him a little at a loss!

"Mom! It's so embarrassing, why are you still crying!" Yi Lei stood up and hugged Xia Mu tightly. Looking at his mother crying, his own tears were welling up in his eyes!

"Son, you have finally grown up. Before, it was your mother who held you in her arms, but now it is you who hold your mother in your arms!" Xia Mu sat on the chair and buried her head deep in her son's chest!

"Yes! Mom, I will protect you in the future!" Yi Lei responded with a smile!

"And us!" Moli Moqi hurriedly included herself in the list. She was filled with joy when she heard that her brother was a martial arts expert and now had a bodyguard!

At this time, Yi Lei had a simple heart. He had been growing up happily until he was sent to Yunxiao Mountain, where he suffered some hardships.

Such a lively and smart child was naturally interested in martial arts and learned it with ease, but he had a bit of a headache when it came to literature. Fortunately, he did not disappoint King Jin.

As for how to behave in society and even the unspoken rules of the royal family, he did learn a lot from Master Xuan, but it was all just talk. In reality, he had not yet integrated into the complex game of power and intrigue.

The next day, Yi Lei came to the palace accompanied by Prince Jin...

The emperor personally came to the Longteng Palace to greet him.

"Yi Lei!" The emperor was overjoyed to see Yi Lei. He walked quickly forward, put his hands on his shoulders, and called him affectionately!

"Uncle! Yilei is back!" Before Yilei finished speaking, he was about to kneel down to salute.

"No, no, no! Yilei, we can't do this kind of ceremony!" The emperor had already issued an order that the princes of all prefectures did not need to kneel, but this rule was not open to his sons and nephews. However, Yilei was a special case. He was a child who traveled from the modern times. The emperor's preference for him was something that outsiders could not understand!

"Aunt!" Yi Lei shouted loudly when he saw Queen Mo Ling standing behind the emperor.

"Yilei, I finally see you again, come in quickly! Yupei will be here soon! She knew you were back, and she shouted yesterday that she wanted to go to Prince Jin's Mansion to find you!" Mo Ling and Yilei had collaborated countless times in playing pranks on others when he was a child. The two of them had a tacit understanding!

After several people entered the hall and sat down

"Brother Yilei! You're finally back!" Before Lu Yupei entered the hall, a clear voice came from afar, which was very different from her usual ladylike demeanor!

"Yupei, you have become so beautiful!" Yi Lei couldn't help but exclaimed as he watched Lu Yupei walk into the hall!

"I'm beautiful, right?" Lu Yupei never acted coy in front of Yi Lei. She proudly lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands and spun around in circles in front of Yi Lei!

"Well! You would be more beautiful if you didn't turn around and show off like this!" Yi Lei smiled and teased Lu Yupei who loved to show off. In his eyes, she was a beautiful, dignified, smart and wise talented woman!

"No way! I'm so happy to see you back!" Lu Yupei ordered the eunuch to place a chair next to Yi Lei, and then sat down next to him.

At this time, several princes also arrived one after another. Mingzhe followed behind Prince Yan and winked at Yilei and Lu Yupei!

"Good boy, you have really grown up! I have said before that among our brothers' sons, Yilei and Mingzhe are the most outstanding in appearance, and it is true!"

When the King of Chu saw Yi Lei, he praised him highly. Although the other grandchildren were also handsome, after all, their parents were both handsome and beautiful. It was not easy to have an ordinary-looking son, unless there was a genetic mutation. But Yi Lei and Ming Zhe were indeed worthy of their parents' pride!

"Third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle!" Yi Lei hurriedly stood up and respectfully greeted them one by one, clasping his hands together and bending over to salute. His movements were standard and neat!
