The young man froze in his arms, his body stiffened, and Nan Luyuan didn't urge him. It wasn't until a long time that he felt a pair of hands grasping the crook of his arm tightly, and when he saw the young man raise his face, the water in his pupils was stirring, and he tentatively said in disbelief: "Brother Brother?"

"It's me." Nan Luyuan tightened his arms, hugged the boy hard, put his chin on his shoulder, and the boy also hugged him hard, and the two hugged each other for a long time before calming down their excitement and letting go of each other.

In the past three years, Nanzi has grown a lot taller, and there is still childishness between his eyebrows, but his face has the shadow of the first emperor's fairness and solemnity. He was still as fair-skinned and beautiful as ever, and his eyes were bright and transparent.

Nan Ziyan took Nan Luyuan's hand, only to feel that there were a lot of things blocked in his heart, and there were many things he wanted to say to his brother. He wanted to ask his brother, what has he experienced in the past three years? What did you see? Who have you ever met?...... What does my sister-in-law look like?

Suddenly, he felt that the hem was gently pulled, and he lowered his head, only to see the little milk dumpling hidden behind him, carefully looking at Nan Luyuan with curious eyes.

So he smiled and picked up the fat boy, took his hand and taught him to recognize Nan Luyuan: "Xuesheng, this is your father's sworn brother, you should call him Uncle Nan."

Nan Luyuan's expression moved, and he couldn't hide his surprise: "This is Brother Li's son?"

Nan Ziyan smiled and said, "Exactly." Brother, let's talk about it, take a long trip, and come back to be an uncle's generation. ”

As soon as Nan Luyuan returned to this familiar place, he unconsciously took off his restrained face, relaxed and smiled naturally, and said with a smile: "Reasonable, after all, when I was in Jiangnan, didn't Zi Xiao already tell me about Xuesheng's birth?"

Nan Ziyan finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yan, who is the person you are happy about in your heart?"

Nan Luyuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Shenling, but he was not surprised, just glared at him, and said, "Zixiao, Shen Ling is not young, it's time to find a girl's home." ”

Nan Zixiao immediately knew what he meant, and responded with an approving look.

Nan Luyuan has never hidden anything from Nan Zixiao, as long as Nan Ziyan wants to know. So he didn't hide much from what he was happy about, but after a little thought, he told everything out.

Nan Ziyan listened, and said in his heart that he was really stupid, at that time, the two people of the Winter Banquet were so obvious that he had noticed it, but he didn't take it seriously.

He was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of someone approaching not far away, so he shut down and choked back into his stomach what he was about to say. Soon someone came closer, it was Su Duxue and Nan Zisheng, the daughter of the king of Nanshang.

As soon as Nan Zisheng saw Nan Luyuan, Teng Ran was even more excited than Nan Ziyuan, and he stepped forward a few steps to climb Nan Luyuan's hand. Unexpectedly, Nan Luyuan took half a step back the moment she approached, and Kankan kept a short distance from her, with a little unhappiness on his face: "Zisheng, what a girl's family, there is no difference between men and women like this, which makes people laugh."

Nan Zisheng was softly reprimanded by him, his face showed a little embarrassment, and he held it for a long time before he calmed down his emotions, and subconsciously defended himself: "Brother Luyuan, Zisheng...... Zisheng just hasn't seen you for too long, and he can't help himself for a while. ”

As if she felt that Nan Luyuan would not let go, she hurriedly added: "Zisheng is still very far away from those inferior people on weekdays, and there is no Meng Lang, but because Brother Luyuan has a deep friendship with Zisheng, he ......."

The words "inferior" pierced Nan Luyuan's heart like a sharp thorn, and he felt quite congested, but he also knew that if it weren't for the three-year trip, I am afraid that he would unconsciously think that those people who were born in Bai Ding and held lowly positions were the so-called "inferior people".

What's more, it is the princess of Nanshang who has been favored since childhood. Even if she held a heavy army and went out with the army, she had never really seen the battlefield in the end, but in the distant tent, listening to the information reported to her by the generals, imagining the mourning and horse leather shrouds she had never seen before.

Nan Zisheng is eighteen or nine years old this year, and he has passed the most suitable age for marriage. If she doesn't want to get married, it's fine, but if it's because of him as Miss Lu said...... Then he really should talk to her.

But he didn't reveal anything wrong on his face, he just greeted Su Duxue with a smile, and said, "Sister-in-law, hasn't Brother Li returned yet?" ”

Su Duxue bowed and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the officials will not be able to come back until the evening." It's still early, so let's prepare some food and drink, and wait for him to come back, so that he can be happy that his brother is back. ”

Nan Luyuan pulled Zhang Shenling, who couldn't find a place to interject, and asked him seriously, "What does Shen Ling think?" ”

Only then did Nan Zixiao see Zhang Shenling from the joy of reuniting with Nan Luyuan. He suddenly realized that he had forgotten about this person just now, and he couldn't help but feel guilty, so he smiled and apologized to Zhang Shenling first, and then went up and gave Zhang Shenling a big hug, and said: "You kid didn't run in vain, this won't steal the conversation." ”

Zhang Shenling also hugged Nan Ziyan back, his expression completely softened, and he regained his cynical appearance, but he lost his old mantle. He said, "If so, can my father go with him?" ”

Nan Zi was stunned for a moment, pulled Zhang Shenling back and forth, looked up and down from beginning to end, and said strangely: "Yes, it has really changed a lot, this king still remembers the appearance of you and Lord Zhang Xiang fighting wits and courage a few years ago." ”

Zhang Shenling grinned and laughed: "Then choose a place, just don't be in the palace, there are many people, and it is not so comfortable." ”

Nan Zi Xiao had a flash of inspiration, but before he spoke, he subconsciously looked at Nan Luyuan first.

Nan Luyuan understood what he meant, so he nodded.

Nan Ziyan squinted and smiled: "Then go to the Emperor's Mansion." ”

.........

...

Several people first lit incense to the former emperor in the emperor's mansion and bowed three times. According to the rules of Nanshang, the emperor has no net worth, although he has status, he cannot call the former emperor his father, and can only be called "the former emperor". However, Nan Zixiao broke this rule first, personally incense this "remnant of the former dynasty", bowed respectfully and saluted, and called him "Master".

Zhang Shenling also followed suit, but he was not taught by Nan Boya, so he was called "Uncle Nan", and he also gave incense to his spirit tablet.

Only Nan Luyuan didn't move, just stood behind a few people, and finally when it was his turn, he came up and put a glass of thin wine, and retreated expressionlessly, as if it was not him who cried heartbreakingly that night.

Su Duxue was puzzled, and Nan Zixiao quietly told him the rules of the emperor's family. Nan Boya is one of the best emperors in the history of Nanshang, his old-fashioned and inflexible temperament, even if everyone is allowed to remember his kindness, he doesn't want Nan Luyuan to lose his rules.

Nan Zisheng stood behind Nan Luyuan, Nan Ziyu on the left of Nan Luyuan, and Zhang Shenling on the right, she could only stand behind her, and she also wanted to go up to give Nan Boya a pillar of incense, but she didn't know what to say. Nan Luyuan and Zhang Shenling went to the street to buy fresh meat, Su Duxue took Xiao Xuesheng to the best restaurant in the capital under the protection of the guards and personally went to the best restaurant in the capital to package wine and food, Nan Zixiao and Nan Zisheng were in the emperor's mansion, passed the word to Li Yangguan, and waited in the lobby.

In the blink of an eye, the sun has set westward.

Nan Zisheng sat in the hall, with an admiring look, and looked at these expensive furniture. Nan Zixiao looked at her and couldn't bear to let her be so immersed in fantasy again, so she reminded softly: "Sister Wang, when are you going to get married?" ”

Nan Zisheng glared at Nan Zixiao, impatiently straightened his clothes, picked up a pair of old purple clay pots that Nan Luyuan placed on the table to reward, and said, "How many times have you urged in the past few years?" I want to marry, and people have to be worthy of me. Besides, now that Brother Lu Yuan is back, why do you still mention such unsightly words? ”

Nan Zixiao always felt that although Nan Zisheng was his sister, there was always some disrespect for herself in these words, but she still followed her temperament and said: "Sister Wang, you have been hiding for so long, you should return your brother's bow to him." No matter what others think of you as a match made in heaven, or if you think so yourself, since Brother Qi is still unwilling, there is no reason for you to occupy other people's things and not return them. ”

He sent people back to look for the bow back then, but how did he expect that those who followed the hunt already knew that Nan Zisheng had picked it up, and set off a rumor about it.

It's just that Nan Zixiao is hindered by Nan Zisheng's face, so he hasn't found a chance to talk to her.

Nan Zisheng frowned, his voice rose, his tone became sharp, and he said indignantly: "Nan Zixiao, what do you mean?" I am your sister Wang, I and Brother Lu Yuan have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they also hold half of the military power, and they are one of the six wise women, who can be more worthy of him than me? Even if you don't help me, why do you still obstruct me in every way? Do you still think I am your sister Wang? ”

Nan Zi pursed his lips, feeling that Nan Zisheng was really unreasonable, he had some restraint in the past few years, but in recent years, because he has reached the age of marriage, he has been flattered a lot, so he is a little fluttering and doesn't know why. So he stood up impatiently, and began to have some sarcasm between his words, and said softly: "Sister Wang, you yelled in front of this king in disregard of etiquette, do you remember that you are a courtier?" This king sees that he has spoiled you over the years, making you so unbelievably thick. ”

Nan Zisheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he said incredulously: "Nan Zixiao! What did you say? ”

Nan Zixiao has been pulling out a tall man in the past few years, and he is almost as tall as Nan Luyuan, looking at Nan Zisheng, he has to bow his head, and the sunset light falls on him through the window, reflecting his eyes exceptionally brightly, and also making Nan Zisheng see the alienation in his eyes clearly.

She began to panic and said viciously: "Nan Zixiao, what am I sorry for you?" Why do you look down on me so much? ”

Nan Zixiao looked down at her, knowing that she didn't take herself, the king of Nanshang, seriously, but she finally saw how she thought highly of herself: "Whether you are happy or not, this kind of thing is originally wishful thinking, since Brother Qi is not interesting to you, why do you want to be moved like a crazy demon?" Since you are the princess of Nanshang, what man do you want? Why do you bother to entangle here and lose the face of my royal family in vain! ”

Nan Zisheng stood up suddenly, so angry that he grabbed the purple clay pot with one hand, raised it with the other hand to hit Nan Ziyan and said, "You are talking nonsense!" ”

Nan Ziyan didn't want to quarrel with her, looking at the current situation, he was juvenile and couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "Brother Qi personally told this king that he already has someone he likes, how long will you be entangled?" Do you have to tear your face? ”

Nan Zisheng was furious, and raised his hand to smash the purple clay pot at him!

Nan Zi Xiao never expected that she really wanted to beat him regardless of the love of her sister and brother, this purple clay pot still has some weight, seeing it smashing straight towards herself, Nan Zi Xiao subconsciously closed her eyes.

"Bang"!

He was so frightened by this sound that he opened his eyes, and Li Yangguan, who was wearing a red robe, was close in front of him.

Li Yangguan lowered his eyes and glanced at the broken slag of the purple clay pot on the ground, and the eyes that were not angry and arrogant fell on Nan Zisheng lightly.

At the same time, there was the sound of Nan Luyuan, Zhang Shenling and Su Duxue talking and laughing outside.

Nan Zisheng's face turned pale.
