Chapter 243: No One Seen
Yan Zixi turned a deaf ear to these discussions behind her, and at this moment, all she could think about was how to make a delicious breakfast.
Although in modern times, Yan Zixi also learned how to make pasta, but she was not very proficient, and when she actually made it, she was still a little in a hurry.
Fortunately, these pastries and pasta made by Yan Zixi, those maids couldn't understand it at all, and they also covered up the panic in Yan Zixi's heart.
After cooking, Yan Zixi put all the noodles on the steamer and steamed them.
Yan Zixi stayed by the steamer all the time, not daring to leave halfway, for fear that something would go wrong. After all, it was a breakfast pastry made by herself, and she didn't want to see any accidents.
So she directly declined the kindness of the maids and insisted on staying here by herself. The maid had no choice but to follow Yan Zixi's wishes and didn't say anything more.
After waiting for about half an hour, the pastries made by Yan Zixi were finally freshly baked.
Yan Zixi couldn't wait to open the lid of the steamer, and was almost burned by the water vapor.
But at this time, she didn't care about these things, and focused on the pastries she had made.
The moment the lid of the steamer is lifted, a rich fragrance comes to the nose.
The greedy Yan Zixi drooled.
Yan Zixi happily ran out with freshly baked pastries, and then saw that Xiao Jingcong was about to leave the house. Yan Zixi hurriedly called Xiao Jingcong from behind.
"Jingcong, wait!"
Hearing Yan Zixi's voice, Xiao Jingcong stopped, turned around, and looked at Yan Zixi who was running towards him, Xiao Jingcong said with a smile.
"Xi'er, you woke up so early today!"
"Jingcong, don't make fun of me...... I didn't get much sleep last night! Yan Zixi said helplessly.
"Really?! That's really bitter for you, I'm going to go to the morning court, you go back and rest......" Xiao Jingcong told in his mouth.
Yan Zixi hurriedly walked over and handed over the pastry in her hand, "Jingcong, this is the pastry I made for you when I got up early, you can take it and eat it on the way!" ”
When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she took the still hot pastry from Yan Zixi's hand, and said with a doting smile on her face: "Xi'er, if you have a heart, you will wait for your husband in the house, and your husband will come back soon." ”
After speaking, Xiao Jingcong kissed Yan Zixi's forehead again, then turned around and walked out of the mansion and got into the carriage to the palace.
Looking at the background of Xiao Jingcong's departure, Yan Zixi showed a hint of worry on her face, and muttered to herself.
"Jingcong, you must not have an accident......"
……
On the carriage, Xiao Jingcong ate the pastries that Yan Zixi carefully prepared for herself, and her heart was warm.
After a while, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, and Xiao Jingcong got out of the carriage and entered the palace gate.
On the way to the Xuanzheng Palace, Xiao Jingcong saw many ministers and officials pointing at him behind his back, and his mouth was even more endless.
"Isn't this Lord Xiao? How did he end up here? ”
"Isn't the direction he is going in the Xuanzheng Palace? Could it be that Prince Xiao is going to go to the early dynasty with us? ”
"Wouldn't it? Didn't the Holy Lord have already issued a holy decree to prohibit Prince Xiao from going to the Hajj for three months, how could it be ......?"
Just as those ministers were discussing, the second prince, Xiao Yuxian, also chased after him from behind.
When he saw Xiao Jingcong, there was a slight hint of surprise in his eyes, but it quickly passed away. Dumbo eBook
He stepped forward, patted Xiao Jingcong's shoulder gently, and asked with a smile.
"Yo, isn't this Emperor Jingcong's brother? Why are you here, do you really want to disobey your father's imperial order and come to the early dynasty? ”
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, this king is in a hurry to see the Holy One." Xiao Jingcong didn't want to spend any more time with the second prince Xiao Yuxian, so he just explained casually.
When Xiao Yuxian heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face, "Emperor Jingcong, what is the urgent matter to disobey his father's holy decree and go to court?" This makes the prince more and more curious......"
After speaking, the playfulness on Xiao Yuxian's face became even stronger.
After a slight pause, without waiting for Xiao Jingcong to answer, Xiao Yuxian preemptively spoke and continued: "Is General Xiao Yan back?" ”

Hearing Xiao Yuxian's words, Xiao Jingcong was shocked in his heart.
Xiao Yan has always acted cautiously, his whereabouts have always been kept secret, and the news of returning to Beijing should only be known to him at present, where did the second prince Xiao Yuxian get the news that Xiao Yan has returned to Beijing?
Xiao Yuxian looked at the surprised look on Xiao Jingcong's face, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Emperor Brother Jingcong, don't be so surprised, the news of General Xiao Yan's return to Beijing was already known by the prince yesterday......"
"You...... Are you secretly stalking me? Xiao Jingcong glared at Xiao Yuxian in front of him, and asked coldly.
Because Xiao Yan would never let Xiao Yuxian find out when he came back, the only explanation was that when he went out, he was already followed by Xiao Yuxian's people.
Then it was very easy for him to associate the news of Xiao Yan's return.
However, Xiao Yuxian flatly denied it, "Brother Jingcong, what are you thinking?" I am the dignified Second Prince, the future crown prince, how could this prince do such a reckless thing? ”
Xiao Yuxian glanced at Xiao Jingcong, paused, and then continued: "Emperor Brother Jingcong, although you are invincible with soldiers, you are still too young after all. ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Jingcong heard Xiao Yuxian's meaning-sounding words, and couldn't help but ask.
"It's not interesting...... Xiao Yuxian didn't continue, he shook his head, hooked the corners of his lips, and smiled faintly, "This prince just kindly reminded you, and there is no other deep meaning, Emperor Jingcong doesn't need to think about it." Alright, it's not too early, let's enter the temple quickly! ”
Saying that, Xiao Yuxian stopped talking to Xiao Jingcong, turned around and walked into the Xuanzheng Palace.
Xiao Jingcong clenched his fists tightly, unable to figure out what Xiao Yuxian wanted to do, "What does he know?" ”
Xiao Jingcong gritted her teeth, and now she can only take one step at a time.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingcong also walked into the Xuanzheng Hall quickly.
……
With the passage of time, the civil and military officials also rushed to the top of the main hall, and the hour of the early dynasty was about to begin, but Xiao Jingcong never saw Xiao Yan.
"What's going on? It's been this hour, why haven't you seen Xiao Yan go to the palace yet? ”
Xiao Jingcong turned around and looked out of the hall, but he never saw Xiao Yan's figure.
The fourth prince, Xiao Yuyan, saw Xiao Jingcong's strange behavior, and couldn't help but come over and ask, "Jingcong, what are you looking at?" Who are you waiting for? ”
Xiao Jingcong nodded, and replied lightly: "Well, I'm waiting for General Xiao Yan......"
"What, General Xiao Yan?! Hasn't General Xiao Yan been guarding the border gates? When did he return to Beijing? ”
In the face of his best brothers and playmates, in front of Xiao Yuyan, Xiao Jingcong had nothing to hide, so he told him about his appointment with General Xiao Yan yesterday.
Xiao Yuyan couldn't help frowning after hearing this, "I really didn't expect that the border war was about to break out, but the imperial court was still drunk and dreamed of death......"
