There is an undercurrent surging above the court, although Xu Yan is also deeply suspicious of the case of the old Jiang Ge here, but the time of the newlywed cannot be wasted, and after dealing with the matter at hand, he went to Shaoguang Courtyard to see Shen Yan.

Shen Yu is playing with two foxes, one red and one white, she is lazy, and she is named Xiaohong Xiaobai, which is simple and smooth. The two foxes were used to playing with her, and they were entangled and having fun.

The courtyard was full of sunshine, and the sound of laughter came, and this end of the palace was no longer the deserted and empty scene of the past.

Xu Yan couldn't help but stop by the door, quietly watching the drama in the courtyard, the worries in his heart gradually dissipated, and he smiled unconsciously.

Shi Nan and the others were having a good time with Shen Yan, and they didn't notice Xu Yan, who was independent by the door, but Sui Zhu saw it and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Xu Yan and didn't disturb.

When Shen Yan had had a good time, when she got up, she saw Xu Yan standing by the door like a stone carving, so she greeted her with a smile, "Why didn't Your Highness come in?" Do you like to stand by the door and blow the cold wind? ”

"I like to see you." Xu Yan was blunt.

In front of the maids in the courtyard, Shen Fei's face couldn't help but turn red, and she hurriedly looked for something to do, and said: "Earlier, I said that I wanted to build a library, and the list of books I wanted was also listed, about five or six thousand volumes. However, my knowledge is shallow, and those books may not be perfect, so I want to find a few more people to consider and add some useful books, how about Your Highness? ”

"Naturally, it's okay, who to look for?"

"Among the people I can invite, Cousin Ling's husband, Han Zheng, is Huiping's six-year tanhua, and now he is in the Hanlin Academy, he may be able to help. I can also copy a copy for my father to see, but as for the side, I can't think of it. ”

"These two will do." Xu Yan had an impression of the young man named Han Zheng, and remembered Han Zheng's expression when he went to see the book collection of the "Siku Dadian" before, and couldn't help but smile, "He is an assertive person." ”

The cousin-in-law was praised, and Shen Yu was honored, "When the book list is decided, we should engrave and build a library." Your Highness said that you came to fund, but you can't forget it. ”

"Remember." The two had already walked into the house, Xu Yan took advantage of no one's attention, kissed her on the cheek, and admonished: "When the book list comes out, copy a copy for the imperial brother first." ”

"Do you still have to ask the emperor for permission?" Shen Yu was surprised.

Xu Yan didn't want Shen Yu to worry, so he said lightly: "It's better to ask the emperor to take a look." ”

——Once this library is built with great fanfare, there will inevitably be a group of old rotten Confucians and even nobles of the family who will jump out and make irresponsible remarks, if they get the permission of the imperial brother in advance, it will be much easier to deal with it at that time.

Although Xu Yan sometimes acts willfully, he keeps in mind a rule - small actions are harmless, big actions must first obtain the consent of Emperor Huiping, and only after passing the emperor's clear road can he do it justifiably, one will not make Emperor Huiping unhappy, and the other is to find a good backer for himself.

Shen Yu was happy in her heart, pulled Xu Yan to turn behind the screen, wrapped her arms around Xu Yan's neck, stood on tiptoe to kiss his chin, and her black and white eyes were full of smiles, "Your Highness is so kind to me." ”

There were many people behind the screen, and Sui Zhu was very clever and withdrew with a few maids, and closed the door by the way.

Xu Yan no longer had any scruples, and immediately bowed down and scooped Shen Yu into his arms, and tossed on her lips, "What's the matter, huh?" ”

"Knowingly asked." Shen Yu pouted and deliberately fled backwards.

Xu Yan loved this appearance very much, rubbed her into his arms, and leaned up on the other hand, not allowing her to escape.

The two of them fought for a while, because the room was quiet, and the sweet fragrance on the beast head incense burner wafted in, which made people's minds charming. Xu Yan couldn't help but bend down and pick up Shen Yan horizontally, and wanted to go to the bed.

Shen Yan was taken aback, in broad daylight, she was not so thick-skinned, so she hurriedly put on a serious appearance and said loudly: "Ah, there is something I want to ask Your Highness." ”

She was startled, but Xu Yan was stunned, paused and asked, "What?" ”

Shen Yu took the opportunity to escape from his arms, stood firm on the edge of the table, raised her head and said, "Your Highness...... Why did you marry me? In fact, she wanted to ask questions like "why does His Highness like me so much, and when did he start liking me", but she was thin-skinned in the first few days of her marriage, so she was embarrassed to ask directly.

Xu Yan didn't expect this, so he sat on the begonia round stool at the table, and looked at Shen Yan with a smile.

Shen Yu was a little embarrassed, her fingers were tied with the clothes belt, and she tied the knot.

Xu Yan was about to speak, but who knew that someone knocked on the door outside, so he heard Sui Zhu say with a little apprehension: "Your Highness, someone is in the palace." ”

This news was disappointing, Xu Yan grabbed Shen Yan's hand in his palm with some lingering, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It was said that the Holy Lord wanted His Highness to enter the palace, and it was Gonggong Wei who came to deliver the decree."

Gonggong Wei is also the person who waits in front of the palace, and he came over in person, which is not very easy to push. Xu Yan had no choice but to stand up, asked Shen Yu to wander around the mansion to rest, went to the house to get dressed, and followed Gonggong Wei into the palace.

Emperor Huiping was in the Lama Temple, the door of the palace was tightly closed, and when Xu Yan entered, as expected, a strong fragrance came. On the throne, Emperor Huiping closed his eyes slightly, the Lan Daoist next to him stood with his hands down, and the great eunuch Duan Bao knelt beside him, slowly pinching Emperor Huiping's legs.

To Xu Yan's surprise, there was still the eldest princess of Leyang, the current hostess of the Marquis of Ningyuan.

Emperor Huiping, who was on the top, had already opened his eyes and said casually: "You are here." He pointed to the seat opposite the eldest princess of Leyang and asked him to sit down, his eyebrows were tired, "I am willing to enter the palace today, and I specially summoned you to come in to talk, you also know about Cheng'an, right?" ”

"Just saw the paperwork." Xu declined to comment.

Emperor Huiping nodded, his eyes were a little wandering, "I just told Leyang about the events of the year, at that time, he instructed me to learn and teach me the principles of life, which is really a rare teacher......" He sighed, "You were also taught by him when you were young, remember?" ”

This "he" naturally refers to Jiang Ge being old, so Xu Yan responded: "Mr. Jiang is knowledgeable, and his earnest teachings back then are still vivid. ”

"Well, Mr. Tan Xiang is close friends with him, and now Tan Xiang is hidden in the mountains and forests, if he learns about this, he doesn't know what will happen. In the end, I am ashamed of him. Emperor Huiping was a little depressed, turned over, took the teacup handed by Lan Daoist and drank it all.

Xu Yan was a little surprised when he heard this.

Although Emperor Huiping has gradually shown fatigue in recent years, he rarely shows such a look, let alone said anything to be ashamed of anyone. Suddenly mentioned today...... couldn't help but set his eyes on the eldest princess of Leyang, and saw that her face was faintly sad.

"The emperor doesn't have to blame himself." The eldest princess of Leyang spoke softly, full of comfort, "What you did is not wrong, the prince is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, since Mr. Jiang is suspicious, the matter is serious, naturally it should be investigated." It's just that I didn't expect King Wei to ...... Hey, it was also because he was in a hurry to do such a thing, which affected the emperor. ”

"Cheng'an, this kid, I used to see that he was very talented, but I didn't expect his heart to be so vicious."

"It's good that the imperial brother can see it, Mr. Jiang has passed away, and the imperial brother has been posthumously rewarded, which is worthy of the love of the year." The eldest princess of Leyang's voice was as gentle as before, and she said with the strong agarwood fragrance in the hall, as if it could soothe all the tedious sorrows in people's hearts.

Emperor Huiping also nodded, "It's just that Cheng'an, this kid, has a bad mind, even if he doesn't agree with the old government of Jiang Ge, why put him to death like this?" Don't want to think about me...... Alas. ”

"King Wei deceived the emperor, framed important ministers, and trapped the emperor in injustice, the emperor just punished him, don't suffer so much." The eldest princess of Leyang persuaded her bitterly.

Emperor Huiping didn't say much anymore, but just mentioned many past events of the year, and on the topic of the eldest princess of Leyang, the sisters and brothers sighed with emotion.

When the chief prince of Leyang said goodbye, Emperor Huiping left Xu Yan, "There are still some things to ask you here." Then he asked Lan Daoist and Duan Bao to withdraw and took Xu Yan into the inner room.

The incense in this is not so strong, Emperor Huiping's spirit is obviously much more perked up than just now, after entering the house, he turned to look at Xu Yan, there was a burning smell in his eyes, "What you said to Leyang just now, did you listen carefully?" ”

"Brother Chen's hearing is clear."

"Did you hear anything?"

Xu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at Emperor Huiping, and truthfully expressed his feelings, "The eldest princess persuaded the imperial brother not to suffer herself, only King Wei can be blamed for this matter." ”

Emperor Huiping nodded, "She doesn't usually ask much about these things, but this time she is enthusiastic." ”

"Maybe I'm afraid that the imperial brother will be sad because of Jiang Ge's old age, so he will persuade him more."

"Do you really think so?" Emperor Huiping smiled clearly in his eyes, "Even if the Queen Mother died back then, she would not be able to persuade her like this." Old Five, what do you think of Leyang's treatment of me? ”

Xu Yan tensed his back sensitively, the royal family affection was already weak, and Emperor Huiping would ask such a thing, obviously because he was suspicious of the eldest princess of Leyang in some matter. This matter is not small, he didn't dare to talk nonsense, but said vaguely: "The eldest princess is naturally attentive to the royal brother." ”

Emperor Huiping didn't embarrass him, and said slowly: "After the accident of Jiang Ge, Leyang came to me several times, although they all persuaded me to mourn, but openly and secretly, he always involved King Wei. His eyes and face drooped, and he couldn't see what was inside, but his voice was dull, "Isn't it strange to behave like this?" ”

Xu Yan's heart jumped suddenly.

The eldest princess of Leyang usually doesn't ask about political affairs, but this time she is so enthusiastic that it will inevitably make people suspect that she is deliberately targeting King Wei - although she is under the banner of caring about the emperor, it is not too obvious in her words.

"Your ability to spy on the military is not weak, and you can also pay attention to this matter." When Emperor Huiping looked over, there was no wave in his eyes.

Xu Yan only felt as if beads of sweat were oozing from his palms.

Although he is good at spying on military intelligence, if he really talks about the ability to quickly find out intelligence, where can he compare to Tsing Yi, the most powerful under the emperor's command? This kind of matter involving important ministers of the imperial court and relatives of the emperor has always been investigated by Tsing Yi, but Emperor Huiping said that he wanted him to investigate the connection between the eldest princess of Leyang and the old Jiang Ge case, what does this mean?

Is it suspected that the information in the Tsing Yi report is untrue, or is it ...... Got doubts about him?

Xu Yan was in a dilemma for a while, but Emperor Huiping seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, "You grew up beside me, just let go of this matter and investigate, don't worry about it." Seeing that Xu Yan was still a little trembling, he added, "Leyang is raised under the knees of the Queen Mother, but you and I are by the side of the concubine, I have always been very clear." ”

This sentence fell into his ears, Xu Yan's doubts were finally eliminated a lot, and he knelt down and said: "The younger brother will definitely live up to the trust of the imperial brother!" ”

Emperor Huiping nodded, his voice full of tiredness, "Go back." ”
