Chapter Forty-Six: Heart-to-Heart

Ming Zheng Palace

————————————

Lian Jing, the prince of Changping, was being scolded.

"That's what you told me all about it!"

"Are you so poor that you can't even afford to make clothes?"

"And the little wild cat that grabbed people, who brought it in for her!"

"This is what I saw with my own eyes, I don't know how much more!"

"I entrusted such an important thing to you, and you are so perfunctory to me!"

……

Lian Jing couldn't raise his head when he was scolded, but now he has seen what it means to be unpredictable and uncertain. He has been scolded more in the past few days than he has in more than 20 years combined! What is "love" that can make a saint Mingjun so moody?

The Majesty of the Southern Emperor that others see is always gentle and calm, but he has seen His Majesty the Southern Emperor who is anxious, frightened, excited, and proud, and these emotions are all because of a woman, a woman who may make Nangan irreversible!

He didn't want to defend himself too much, but he had to remind the angry monarch that many things should not be rushed.

"Your Majesty, it's your order, it's a big matter, don't be too public."

"I remember very clearly, it was you who said that you would leave her with nothing but you!"

"I understand your feelings."

"However, she is the Empress of Beiluo!"

"And Beiluo also has a queen, who is already on the verge of crazy collapse!"

Some things can't be said too clearly, and some people are better off not mentioning them for the rest of their lives! Lian Jing's words were so straightforward and so sharp, they suddenly poked at Ying Qi's pain point.

"You mean I can't keep her! Or do you think I'm going to be afraid of him! ”

In the face of Ying Qi's questioning, Lian Jing didn't dare to raise his head, although the anger was expected, but it still made him frightened, he needed to tell the truth, but he didn't have enough courage to bear the consequences of telling the truth.

It is not easy for him to get to this day, he has a friendship with Ying Qi, but he can't forget the most important courtesy.

"No, the minister just thinks that His Majesty is a little anxious."

"The ancients said, things are slow and round, what Your Majesty wants is a long time, what you want is sincerity, the minister has not suspected anything, the minister just wants to help His Majesty get what he wants!"

"For a long time" and "sincerely", these words came out of Lian Jing's mouth, Ying Qi was quite emotional, the people who know him best are not his parents, not his own brothers, but the partner in front of him who has always been with him.

He is not a tyrant who goes his own way, nor is he a narrow-minded man. Lian Jing's words are true, how can he not know?

Ying Qi calmed down and said in a different way: "Lian Jing, I lost my temper, but you should know the contradiction in my heart, if I can't make her live better, why do you do everything possible to keep her?" ”

"I'm really in a hurry, I want to take her over now!"

"I'm very greedy, I don't just want to keep her people, I also want to keep her heart, and I don't want Nanqian and Beiluo to be in dire straits, after all, it's her home country. If one day, she remembers everything, how can I explain it, and how should I explain it, I only want her. ”

"Lian Jing, you are the person I trust the most, I am relieved to put her on your side first, but I don't want her to be wronged and hurt at all, this is difficult, and I can only be difficult for you now."

Ying Qi's words are sincere and sincere, this is a rare heart-to-heart between the monarch and the minister, Lian Jing solemnly promised: "Your Majesty, the minister understands, I will do my best in the future!" ”

In the following days, Ying Qi took various opportunities to reward Lian Jing, and Lian Jing used various methods to send these things to Biqing Courtyard. This is a secret between the two, but in the eyes of others, it feels very intriguing.

Obviously, Mrs. Hou has a lot of complaints about this matter, but this is what the Southern Emperor rewarded Lian Jing, she is not easy to speak, not to mention that Lian Jing is more and more valued by the Southern Emperor, which is not what it used to be.

Jinnian Hall of Beiluo Imperial Palace

————————————

The spring flowers that I had seen hand in hand had passed their flowering period, and there were no more lovely yellow flowers, replaced by clusters of black and purple berries, dotted among the green leaves, which was very pleasant.

It's just that Zhan Nian has never seen it again, this spring flower is like every part of this Jinnian Palace, which makes him nostalgic and makes him sad.

Since she left, the Beiluo Palace has been cold and terrible, and only the place where Xiao Ashu is still has some lively warmth. After dinner, it was a rare time for father and daughter to be alone.

"Little Ashu, come here, let the imperial father measure whether you have grown taller."

In the face of the royal father's call, Xiao Ashu's enthusiasm has always been very high. She threw away the pottery ball in her hand and ran over on her short legs.

After measuring, Zhan Nian sighed and shook his head, while muttering suspiciously: "You snack goods, you eat so much every day, why are you still so tall, when will you grow up!" ”

The palace attendant next to him silently hugged the little princess in his heart when he heard this: Queen, you have measured it six times today, which is more than the number of times the little princess has eaten! If you are not stupid, you also know how it is possible to grow up overnight, this is definitely not a question of how much to eat, let alone a question of the little princess not working hard, but a problem of the queen!

However, Xiao Ashu is too young, she can't hear the disgust in these words, but because she has heard too much, she feels that she is really not angry, why does she grow up so slowly?

She timidly comforted Zhan Nian: "Don't worry, Father, if I eat more, I will definitely be able to grow up quickly!" ”

The childish words are the most pure and kind, Zhan Nian's heart felt a little warm when he heard it, he touched Xiao Ashu's head and praised: "Well, what you said is good, as long as you work hard, the emperor still believes in you!" ”

When Xiao Ashu heard this, he immediately became happy, and he danced up vigorously, and every time he jumped, he really felt that he was a little taller.

When she was tired of dancing, she threw herself into her arms and asked a question she was very curious about: "Imperial father, why do you want me to grow up quickly?" ”

Zhan Nian sighed, and sighed again, the things of adults are too complicated, how can children understand it? He answered the question in the lightest and simplest words.

"Hey, the days are too tired, the imperial father is very bored, when you grow up, I can go to your mother emperor, so that I can continue to live a happy life!"

The child is ignorant but sensitive, that day, she did not wait for her mother emperor, but she is as firm as the imperial father that the mother emperor will definitely come back!

"Imperial Father, the Mother Emperor promised us, she will come back!"

Zhan Nian smiled, the smile was bitter, astringent, sour and sweet, with mixed tastes.

"You are still young, you don't understand, your mother emperor is the most untrustworthy, especially to your imperial father, no promise has ever been fulfilled!"

But......

Zhan Nian silently thought in his heart: as long as she lied to him, she lied to him that he would come back, and he believed that he would definitely come back!

Ying Yan has been very unhappy recently, he has a feeling of falling out of favor! And the person who made him fall out of favor turned out to be a woman!

How long has it been since he'd seen Yiguang? Originally, he thought that Yiguang was busy preparing for marriage and had no time to see him, but later found out that Yiguang didn't have time, but didn't have time to see him!

What's even more annoying is that Yiguang's little girl said to herself that she likes this cousin very much, that feeling is like a sister for several lifetimes, she is willing to look at her every day, she is willing to accompany her every day, even if she doesn't say a word, she feels very happy!

Listen to what that is! They are lovers, they will be husband and wife immediately, and he has never heard Yiguang say such beautiful love words to himself! He confessed that he was jealous, jealous of a woman!

He really didn't understand what kind of magical attraction this cousin had, and he really wanted to see this magical cousin, but now he couldn't even enter the gate of the Changping Marquis Mansion! It's just so unreasonable!

Putting aside his identity as a quasi-uncle, he is the younger brother of the current Southern Emperor, and now he is so neglected to him, and his status after marriage is even more worrisome! And the sad thing is that he has not yet reasoned, because after his own brother His Majesty the Southern Emperor found out, he simply issued a holy decree, strictly ordering him not to go to the Changping Marquis Mansion to see Yiguang privately before marriage, and said that this is the oldest wedding custom in Nanqian, as the prince of a country, he should take the lead in bowing!

When he thought of this, he was very sad, why was he so unpopular now!

The more mysterious it is, the more it can arouse a person's curiosity, Ying Yan is angry with himself in his heart, he must meet this legendary character at all costs! Ying Yan has thought of many ways to do this.

He squatted at the door, but he didn't know that this cousin was really a lady, and he didn't show up if he didn't go out of the door.

He sneaked in when the moon was dark and the wind was high, but he was caught by Lian Jing, the prince of Changping, the Hou Shizi, when he climbed over the wall, which was too faceless.

He went in to look for it openly in the name of gift-giving, but who expected Yiguang to take the gift and throw himself out, leaving no affection at all!

He lamented again that he was the second prince of the state, and it was really humiliating to be forced to such an end!

Frustrated, he had no choice but to go to his third brother for a drink and chat to relieve his boredom.

Ying Li also moved out of the palace since he became an adult, and after having his own serious errand, he hasn't been with his second brother for a long time. At this time, seeing Ying Yan mention good wine, he was indescribably happy in his heart, after all, they were brothers who grew up together, and he liked his second brother!

After three rounds of drinking, Ying Yan began to pour bitter water, Ying Li heard it, there was such a thing? Unconsciously, they became curious, and the two brothers began to ponder together how to overcome this problem. The hard work paid off, and the two stinkers got together and they came up with a brilliant solution!

Ying Yanmei returned home and began to prepare, he didn't believe that he couldn't see the true face of the mysterious cousin Lushan this time!
