In the blink of an eye, Xiao Mingyan had been in Mingzhou for half a month, and after sending the last batch of rice and grain to the victims, he resigned to everyone. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Needless to say, the people of Mingzhou were grateful to Dade and wept bitterly, but Shen Changfen, the prefect of Mingzhou, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Back at the mansion, Shen Changfen breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Finally sent this ancestor away...... During this period of time, he won the hearts of the people, but he tossed me enough, master, quickly send someone to send a letter to the eldest prince, telling him that the medicine has been given, and the second prince has returned at this time. ”

"Yes, sir."

The master also breathed a sigh of relief: "Looking at the second prince's perseverance and heart, if he hadn't been drugged, it would be hard to say who would be in the world in the future......

"But no, he has made such a great achievement, the saint will definitely be happy, if the crown prince is handed over to him one day, how can I have a good life in the future?"

Thinking about it, Shen Changfen became angry again: "And my brother-in-law who is not angry, it's just a matter of being a little more domineering on weekdays, but he pokes the basket for me when the second prince comes, and see how I clean him up!" ”

On the way back, Xiao Mingyan was not in a hurry, and walked slowly on the road on a horse, Wen Xi and Liu Hao rode a horse together.

"Liu Hao, do you know kung fu?"

"Back to Your Highness, you won't be able to do kung fu, but your strength is okay, and it's not a problem to help Your Highness carry and carry a chore."

"Your Highness, I touched Liu Hao's bones before, and I don't know how much stronger I am, and he is indeed a good seedling."

Xiao Mingyan nodded: "Then you will teach him to practice martial arts, I see that he is not young but has a clear mind, and he is not flustered when he encounters problems. ”

Liu Hao originally thought that when he and His Royal Highness returned to Beijing to run errands for him, he didn't expect the second prince to be so attentive to him, and he was grateful in his heart, and he couldn't help but redden.

Xiao Mingyan pretended not to see it and tilted his head to the side.

The three of them stopped and walked and arrived in the capital in a day and a half.

"Your Highness, do we want to go to the palace first, or do we want to go back to the house first to change our clothes?"

Xiao Mingyan thought for a while and said, "Go to Tanqing Palace." ”

"Sons and daughters, see the queen mother."

The palace lady of the Tanqing Hall was beating Bai Muchan's legs, and the fine sandalwood smoke on the incense burner next to her was curling......

"You're back."

Queen Bai Muchan, who was closing her eyes and recuperating, opened her eyes and saw Xiao Mingyan with a wound on her forehead, and said lightly.

"Yes, Erchen just arrived in the capital and came to greet the queen mother."

"I heard that you have made a great contribution this time, and you can be regarded as having an explanation to Mingzhou and the people."

"Is the queen mother well? Can rheumatism recidivize? ”

"It's still the same, I can't die......"

The corners of Xiao Ming's good-looking mouth moved slightly, and he didn't say anything more.

Retreating left and right, Bai Muchan spoke: "This time you have made great contributions, your father will definitely reward you, what reward do you want?" ”

"The retainer does not ask for a reward, but wants to do something for the people."

Bai Muchan smiled coldly when she heard this: "If you don't ask for a reward, what do you want to fight for?" At this time, you still have to be so high?! ”

Lofty....... How could Xiao Mingyan not know the meaning of Bai Muchan's words?

If he hadn't pretended to be Qinggao and promoted the crown prince back then, then the third brother wouldn't have to leave her......

The funny thing is that now after the death of the third brother, he actually started to fight for the throne again, isn't this a practice of letting his third brother die in vain......

Xiao Mingyan's expression was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know what reward the mother concubine wants her son to ask for?" ”

"I'm afraid that the position of the crown prince can't be agreed to at the moment, even if you don't say that he will give the king's fief, I only ask you for one."

"Queen Mother, please speak."

Xiao Mingyan's voice trembled slightly, since the third brother's accident, his mother had never made even a little request to him. Now that she had opened her mouth, she was going to finish it anyway.

Bai Muchan didn't look at him, "Go and ask your father to reward you with the palace Xianglinglongding." ”

"Palace? ......... The palace is exquisite....... Good, good ......."

Xiao Mingyan's face was full of luster when he heard this, and he responded with a wry smile.

"I'm tired, kneel down!"

Seeing that Xiao Ming had come down, Bai Muchan coldly gave the order to evict the guests.

"The palace is exquisite?!"

Wen Xi, who was helping Xiao Mingyan wipe his sword, was so shocked that his eyes fell when he heard this, "Your Highness, the queen mother, she is forcing you to anger the saint......

Xiao Mingyan said calmly: "This exquisite tripod is the third brother's favorite thing during his lifetime, and it is natural for the queen mother to want to fulfill this wish for him...... Besides, the third brother died because of me, and even if I offended my father for this, or was punished by my father, I owe it to him. ”

"Your Highness......!"

Wen Xi shook his head helplessly with a long tail note: "The third prince died of illness, what does it have to do with His Royal Highness?" The palace is the emperor's favorite treasure, when the three princes have been the prince, just touched it and was punished for a month, but also deliberately announced that no one is allowed to covet the exquisite tripod...... The queen mother, she asked like this, what kind of situation will you be in with Your Highness? ”

"It's okay, as long as I can give her some comfort......"

Xiao Ming suppressed his emotions and said to Wen Xi: "You take Liu Hao to familiarize yourself with the environment, and I will go to Chang Jinghou Mansion for a while." ”

Ye Boxian was playing with the porcelain cup in his hand, and when he saw that Jincheng had spread the word that the second prince would arrive soon, he hurriedly asked him to go to Tanyin Courtyard to summon Gu Chuhuan over.

"Ye Lao ......"

"Your Highness, what's wrong with your forehead? Half a moon is gone, why is His Highness so haggard? ”

Ye Boxian was about to go out to greet him, when he saw that Xiao Mingyan had already arrived at the door, and was about to say hello, when he suddenly saw Xiao Mingyan's injury, he was shocked and asked with concern.

Xiao Mingyan showed a warm smile: "It's okay. ”

"You just came back, why don't you rest in the house for a long time, and come in such a hurry, but what happened?"

"This time I prayed for rain, thanks to Ye Lao's advice, but I came to thank you in person, and I really didn't want to go."

"Where is Your Highness's words? It is old and old to share the worries of His Royal Highness, and the matter of praying for rain is not an old plan, it was thought up by the girl in Huan'er. ”

"Daddy is calling me?"

As soon as Gu Chuhuan arrived at the door, he heard Ye Boxian's words and walked in coquettishly.

"Chu Huan has seen His Highness."

Gu Chuhuan was also stunned when he looked up and saw Xiao Mingyan, but in half a month, the man in front of him seemed to be a different person, his original fair complexion was tanned, and his eyes were no longer full of brilliance, but full of exhaustion, and a trace of sentimentality could be seen faintly......

Xiao Mingyan smiled gratefully at Gu Chuhuan's reciprocation: "Ming Yan thanks Miss Gu for her strategy of praying for rain and earning the hearts of the people for Ming Yan." ”

"The second prince doesn't have to be polite, you are the person recognized by your father, although Chu Huan is not talented, he is willing to help."

Gu Chuhuan stared at Xiao Mingyan's eyes and asked carefully, "The second prince has other things to say?" ”
