Chapter 306: Jealousy
The room is warm and fragrant, and the Western enamel man in the middle is walking one by one, Xiao Yan is wearing a white plain clothes, and he is practicing the words of the pen with a wolf in his hand. Xide cautiously walked in, glanced at it secretly, and then said loudly: "Lord Wang." β
"Hmm. β
Xiao Yan straightened up, glanced at the words in front of him lightly, and then put down the wolf in his hand with satisfaction, picked up the hand towel that had been prepared on the table, wiped his hands, threw it back at will, picked up a cup of tea, handed it to his lips and said in a deep voice: "How are you inquiring." β
Hearing this, a trace of joy floated on his lips and said: "The slave maid has inquired, this time I went to Nanjing to preside over the New Year's sacrifice to the ancestors, Your Majesty was originally going to order His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson concubine has somehow been unwell recently, I heard that it has been a long half a month and has not eaten well, not only more chilly than before, but also dizzy from time to time, the court envoy and the lord also looked at it, but could not find anything, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson was concerned about the condition of the eldest grandson, so he asked His Majesty to resign. β
Speaking of this, Xide raised his head cautiously, and then whispered: "Your Majesty is not good at forcing it, so I will stop it and let His Royal Highness the eldest grandson stay in the capital." β
Therefore, let him replace the East Palace to worship His Majesty's ancestors.
Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with an intriguing smile, the corners of his lips were faintly lonely, his tone was as light as ever, but his words were full of sarcasm.
"Unexpectedly, this king's nephew also inherited the affection of the first emperor, who loves both the country and the beauty. β
Xiao Yan's mind gradually appeared in the cold and indifferent girl, and the smile on the corner of her lips gradually became sarcastic.
This Xiao Gu is indeed amazingly beautiful, so he can charm his nephew, who has always been unfeminine, for him, and now he has helped him once.
It can be seen that the sentence of red face and troubled water is not false at all for their royal family.
"Lord Wang, then this time Your Majesty and you mentioned the matter of worshipping ancestors in Nanjing, do you want to go?"
Xi De's cautious inquiry interrupted Xiao Yan's thoughts, Xiao Yan moved slightly, and the smile on his lips was still as gentle and clear as the bright moon.
"Go, not only to go, but also to let my father see that in addition to the East Palace, there are others who can share his worries and relieve him. β
You must know that for the Xiao family, the New Year's worship of ancestors in Nanjing is not an idle trivial matter.
In the past, when Taizu was in the past, he set Nanjing as the capital in the northern and southern campaigns, and it was not until the time of Chengzu that the capital was moved to the current Jingling.
However, Nanjing is the place where the Xiao family started, and the founding ancestor and a group of concubines are buried, and there are even many founding heroes.
Even if today's Jingling is a place where the king's qi gathers, Nanjing can also be said to be the root of the Xiao family, so Nanjing will be different from the other provinces, and can set up six departments with Jingling.
Since ancient times, only the emperor can lead the courtiers to preside over the New Year's worship of ancestors in Nanjing, but if the emperor is getting older, it is not easy to trek around, so he can entrust this matter to the most relied on the princes and grandsons.
Before the current emperor, all the princes who were ordered to worship their ancestors in Nanjing inherited the unification, which naturally included the current Emperor Jianheng.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity that cannot be missed for Xiao Yan in front of him.
"However, before that, we still have one more thing to do, and it should be dealt with before we go to Nanjing. β
Xi De was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then asked cautiously: "What does the prince mean-"
"Concubine Sideβ"
The voice of the waiter outside the door interrupted Xi De's words, and when Xi De turned his eyes to look over, Xiao Yan frowned slightly, and then remained silent.
Feeling the displeasure of his own prince, Xide carefully lowered his head.
The next moment, a slender and delicate figure pushed the door and walked in, only to see the girl wrapped in a hood with skin like snow, beautiful as coming out of a painting, at this moment I saw Xiao Yan standing there, her cheeks were slightly flushed with a peach blossom-like smile, and she walked in very gently, and took the maid behind her to salute.
"The concubine asks the prince for peace. β
Looking at the slender beauty in front of him, Xiao Yan was not the slightest moved, but said coldly: "What are you doing." β
Wang Youjun, who bowed, was stunned when he heard this, and the beautiful smile on his face was so stiff, but in just a moment, Wang Youjun recovered as before, stood up considerately and warmly, took the food box from the maid behind him and said: "The concubine knows that the prince is cold in winter, so she made some warm soup with her own hands, please taste it." β
Xiao Yan swept his eyes indifferently towards the food box, and then said loudly: "Got it, go back." β
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yan turned around and was about to leave, but he heard the call of the girl behind him.
"Brother Nineβ"
Seeing that the man's body in front of him paused slightly, Wang Youjun only thought that this sound could evoke the best memories about them in Xiao Yan's heart.
Just when she was full of anticipation, Xiao Yan turned her senses, but her eyes were more indifferent and angry than Fang Cai.
It was this "Ninth Brother" that made him remember once again how he missed the opportunity to be used by this seemingly innocent girl in front of him, exposed in front of Yikun Palace and Gu Yanling, and watched Gu Xie's second family marry with the East Palace, which became his biggest stumbling block.
"As a side concubine, you still don't know the rules of the house?"
Wang Youjun suddenly became nervous when he heard this, and when he was about to explain, Xiao Yan said indifferently to Xide: "Go to the East Palace, I haven't seen Rui'er for a long time." β
Xiao Yan walked out as he spoke, and passed by Wang Youjun expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Xi De was in a cold sweat, but he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and hurriedly followed.
At this moment, Wang Youjun seemed to turn into a cold stone, and he froze like that, and the cold temperature spread from his fingertips to his whole body little by little, as if his frozen body was numb.
This was not what she wanted, she never thought that she would go to great lengths to marry the cousin she had always wanted, but what she got was such a result of ridicule.
Ruier, Ruier-
"Uhhh
Hearing Wang Youjun's sudden chuckle, the maid behind him couldn't help but call out softly in fear, "Concubine Side-"
Wang Youjun left the maid behind, maintained his last self-esteem, turned around and walked straight out.
When she walked to the front of the hall, looking at the snowflakes falling in front of the corridor, she couldn't help but go down stupidly, and the maid behind her hurriedly raised her umbrella and stepped forward, but she was pushed away indifferently by Wang Youjun.
When the cold snowflakes fell on her face, she paused her steps, and the cold seemed to sober her up.
The most unbelievable thing in this world is a man's love words.
And the last thing in this world that will betray her is power.
She has been in a daze for too long, and she has been blinded by Xiao Yan's unanticipated love for too long.
It's time to wake up.
Ruier β
The corners of Wang Youjun's lips hooked up a very beautiful and demonic smile, the Yan family has been proud of the father and son in the cabinet for too long.
Without her beauty, she did everything she wanted.
The position of the main concubine, Xiao Yan's favor, the protection of his aunt, and the prince who consolidates his position are really annoying.
Wang Youjun raised his chin slightly, looked at everything that was white and crystalline, and whispered softly in a voice that only he could hear.
"Rui'er, don't blame Wang Niangniang for being ruthless. β
