Chapter 39: The Precursor to Love

Xuanxiang and Shang Rou should be, and at night, the kitchen prepared these two things.

Yuan Xing and Qu Zhao were not there, Qinghai did not eat with them, and the other guests had their own places to eat, so this additional meal patronized Zhao Huaiyan and Zhu Xuanguang.

When eating, seeing the obviously extra meat plate and wine jug, Zhu Xuanguang smiled and said, "It seems that the prince still cares about you very much, I am afraid that if you practice martial arts, your body and bones will not be able to bear it, so I specially gave you a meal." ”

Zhao Huaiyan thought to herself, do you care about me? is concerned about Zhou Xiaochan!

It's just that no matter who Yan Chi cares about, she is very happy! She happily ate the white Zhongming meat and said, "Then you are my light, say thank you." ”

Zhu Xuanguang glanced at his "villainous power" appearance, and said with a smile, "It's not all for you, I'm also contributing, and the prince is taking care of the two of us." ”

Zhao Huaiyan pouted, "You've said everything good." ”

Zhu Xuanguang laughed, and the chopsticks reached over and pounded his head, "Eat it while it's hot, you really have to make up for your bones, and it's very hard to practice martial arts." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said fearlessly, "Don't be afraid." ”

Zhu Xuanguang looked at him, saw the momentum of not admitting defeat in his eyes, and suddenly he thought of his childhood, thought of the first time he started beating someone, and then was arrested by the county government, he tried to compete with him, and then was pressed to the ground by the head catcher with one finger, and he couldn't get up again, he looked at him condescendingly, and said after a while, "Boy, beating people is not like this." ”

Zhu Xuanguang immediately asked, "How do you want to fight?" ”

The head catcher looked at him coldly, and then beat him up.

On that occasion, he stayed in the yamen for a month, recuperated for half a month, and spent the rest of the month in prison, and the night before he was released, the head catcher came to question, and he said fiercely, "When I grow up, I will beat you up, just like you taught me." ”

Teach?

The head catcher was probably quite playful about this word, and a smile oozed from his always cold eyes, and he said, "Wait until you are really capable to talk ruthlessly, now, you can go." ”

Zhu Xuanguang said, "You wait." ”

The head catcher looked at him indifferently for a moment, reached out and patted his head, didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll wait for you, but I have to tell you, if you want to beat me, it's useless to grow up, you have to practice martial arts, and practicing martial arts is a very hard thing." ”

"I'm not afraid!"

At that time, Zhu Xuanguang also said the same.

He couldn't see his gaze, but he thought that the look in his eyes at that time must be exactly the same as the young man at this time.

Zhu Xuanguang lowered his eyes slightly, put away his childhood memories, sighed, and said, "It's good not to be afraid." ”

Zhu Xuanguang took a piece of chopsticks and put it into Zhao Huaiyan's bowl, and when he saw Zhao Huaiyan raising his eyes to look at him, he said, "You eat a little more, my body is stronger than you." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the flask on the side, lifted the lid, and poured wine for the two of them.

When pouring the wine, Zhao Huaiyan said, "I don't drink." ”

Zhu Xuanguang said, "This is the wine to relieve fatigue, the unique palace secret system of the Yan royal family, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to drink it, try it, if you miss this village, there will be no such shop, and when your body is strong, the prince will not prepare this wine for you again, and you will regret it if you don't drink it." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was suspicious, "Really? The secret of the Yan royal family? ”

Zhu Xuanguang nodded, "What are you lying to do, the wine is not made by connoisseurs, but made by Zhou Beizhi, a generation of medicine gods, it is said to be made for the emperor, and later the emperor drank well, so he gave it to the prince, but the princesses can't drink it, it is said that this wine can not only relieve fatigue, but also aphrodisiac, otherwise the emperor is over eighty years old, how can he be so vigorous." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was handing the wine glass to her lips, took a sip, tasted the taste, and suddenly heard the sentence "can also aphrodisiac essence", she spit out the wine she had just drunk in her mouth, and said in shock, "Aphrodisiac essence? ”

Her frightened reaction made Zhu Xuanguang stunned for more than a moment or two, and after a long time, he asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" It's an aphrodisiac, not an aphrodisiac, you can drink it with confidence. ”

Zhao Huaiyan is angry, who wants to drink it with confidence!

She put her glass down and ate in silence.

Zhu Xuanguang wondered, "This wine is a treasure for men, don't you drink it?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan thought to himself, it's a treasure for you men, but for me, it's a stalk, a ghost!

But as a man, it would be too strange to push away such wine.

Zhao Huaiyan thought for a long time, but still picked up the cup and drank it, aphrodisiac is aphrodisiac, just a glass of wine, she just didn't drink much.

After drinking, in order to prevent Zhu Xuanguang from pouring it for her again, she immediately spoke, "Just one glass, I haven't drunk since I was a child, it's not that I don't drink, it's that I don't have that kind of pastime, the amount of alcohol is not good, I still want to brew the horse steps I learned today at night, don't let me get drunk." ”

Zhu Xuanguang originally planned to pour him a second glass, but seeing him say this, he was not reluctant, this wine is good wine, if he doesn't drink it, it will be cheaper for himself.

Zhu Xuanguang smiled, "If you don't drink it, forget it, I'll drink it." ”

Zhao Huaiyan pouted, thinking, drunkard, but she didn't say anything, only ate seriously.

After eating and drinking, Yan Chi summoned her to Yanxiao Hall and asked her to rub his shoulders.

When rubbing his shoulders, thinking of the added meat and wine on the table tonight, Zhao Huaiyan pursed his lips and said some words of thanks.

Yan Chi sat on the couch, holding a scroll of poetry in his hand, his left hand was propped up on the small table next to him, the jade crown was taken off, he had taken a bath, he was wearing a soft yellow silk robe, the soap fragrance and ambergris spread very clearly around his body, his long hair hung down from both sides of his shoulders, and the color of black and yellow made his handsome face more and more noble.

He listened to Zhao Huaiyan's words of thanks, his eyebrows did not move, only his fingertips slid down from the page, turned to the next page, continued to read, and said attentively, "The best way to thank this palace is not to use your mouth, but to use your strength." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Understood." ”

Yan Chi asked, "Do you really understand?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "I really understand." ”

Yan Chi said, "Practice martial arts well, Xiaochan is the heart knot of this palace, if you cure the heart knot of this palace, then in the future, you can walk sideways in Yandu, and even the entire Yan country." ”

This is a temptation, Zhao Huaiyan understands it.

She smiled, "The prince doesn't need such a big battle, I promised Miss Zhou that I would do my best to heal her, and I will definitely do my best, practicing martial arts is not what I am good at, but I will do my best to do it well." ”

Yan Chi sighed, stopped talking, and continued to read the poems.

When he saw an autumn poem that read, "The autumn wind has passed, Jun is looking forward to returning, looking at each other and feeling confused, and thinking about it every day", he thought of Zhou Xiaochan's eyes when he looked at Zhao Huaiyan today.

Although Yan Chi is only twenty years old and has never experienced love, so far, he has still been moved by a certain woman, and he doesn't understand what love is like, but he is the man who has won the first place in the world, and he has won several consecutive terms, his talent and force are against the sky, he doesn't need to experience it personally, he can understand Zhou Xiaochan's gaze at Zhao Huaiyan today.

That kind of gaze is a sign before love comes.

Yan Chi supported his forehead slightly, closed the book of poems with his hand, and threw it on the couch, he closed his eyes, and relaxed for a while to enjoy Zhao Huaiyan's fingering, and then spoke slowly, "Does Mr. Zhao have any relatives at home?" ”

This question came suddenly, and the content of the words was too abrupt, which coldly made Zhao Huaiyan cold, her eyes rolled, and she pondered, "My father is alive." ”

Yan Chi asked, "My mother is gone?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "It's been many years since I passed away. ”

Yan Chi didn't say anything about mourning, but said, "Your mother is gone, so your father is the master of your family?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan was stunned, "Huh? Her voice rose sharply, "Family? ”

Hell, what's going on here?

Yan Chi smiled in a low voice, "So surprised, I think you don't have a good relationship at home." ”

Zhao Huaiyan's brains twitched for a while, thinking to himself, this prince is too taboo, talking about this kind of thing with his own guests, even if there is a good relationship, it is impossible to say it!

Besides, why did he suddenly ask this?

It doesn't fit his identity.

Zhao Huaiyan was speechless, but replied one by one, "I have a bad background, I have no money at home, I have no long things, I have been poor all my life, it is difficult to eat, my mind is full of reading, I am full of eyebrows, how can I have the time to think about those who have not, and besides, at my age, I can't mention family affairs at all." ”

Yan Chi nodded and said, "Eighteen years old, it's indeed a little young." ”

Zhao Huaiyan himself is fifteen years old, but the reported age is eighteen.

Yan Chi said again, "Xiaochan is almost seventeen years old, she is of the same age, and she can be more harmonious in the future." ”

Zhao Huaiyan listened to the clouds, and he didn't know why this prince suddenly mentioned Zhou Xiaochan again.

If you don't understand, then you don't have to answer, just pretend to be naΓ―ve.

But Yan Chi said to himself again, and what he said was all about Zhou Xiaochan.

Zhou Xiaochan is more than sixteen years old, less than seventeen, and her age is very close to Yan Le, of course, Zhou Xiaochan was picked up by Zhou Beizhi, and she was still in swaddling clothes when she picked her up, but it was a few months, and Zhou Beizhi didn't know, so Zhou Xiaochan's age was counted from the day Zhou Beizhi picked her up.

It's April now, and it was July when Zhou Biezhi picked up Zhou Xiaochan, that is, there are still three months, and Zhou Xiaochan will be seventeen years old.

And everything Yan Chi said about Zhou Xiaochan started from the day Zhou Biezhi picked her up.

Yan Chi is more than three years older than Zhou Xiaochan, and when Zhou Xiaochan was picked up by Zhou Biezhi, Yan Chi was already more than three years old.

For children over three years old, their memories are actually very strong, but as they grow older, some childhood memories will blur, then fade, and finally they will not remember at all.

But Yan Chi remembers everything that happened in his childhood very clearly.

Especially in the year when Zhou Beizhi picked up Zhou Xiaochan, Yan Le was born, Yan Chi had another sister, and this sister and Zhou Xiaochan were only two months wrong, Yan Le was born in September, so Yan Chi was very impressed by that year.

Yan Chi told Zhou Xiaochan's origin, and also told some interesting things about her when she was a child, as well as some of her likable personality traits when she grew up.

Saying this, it is nothing more than to give Zhao Huaiyan a precautionary treatment first, so that he will not have a psychological burden when he accepts Zhou Xiaochan in the future.

Although his surname is Zhao, if Zhou Xiaochan really likes him, Yan Chi will not object.

Because, although his surname is Zhao, he entered the palace of Yan State and served him Yan State, and Zhao State, sooner or later, will also become another state on the territory of the ninety-three states of Yan State.

So, in the end, it's still a country's people.

In particular, this young man will be too void spirit finger, and his fingering skills are far stronger than the other five disciples of the void spirit void, and with him taking care of Zhou Xiaochan in the future, Yan Chi will be even more relieved.

And with the restraint of Zhou Xiaochan, Zhao Wuming will also assist him more wholeheartedly.

Whether it was out of selfishness or public intentions, Yan Chi was happy to see that Zhao Wuming and Zhou Xiaochan could have a good result.

Zhao Huaiyan is a woman, others don't know, but she won't mistake her gender, she knows that she is a woman, and she knows that Zhou Xiaochan is a woman, so it is impossible to distort her thoughts.

And because she didn't think about that at all, Yan Chi talked for a long time, she was still in a fog, and she could only understand that she was now responsible for treating Zhou Xiaochan's atrophy, Yan Chi was probably afraid that she would not care, or that she would say something inappropriate to Zhou Xiaochan, so she revealed a little bit of Zhou Xiaochan's details in advance and let her take it easy.

Therefore, after Yan Chi finished speaking, Zhao Huaiyan said, "Don't worry, prince, I won't talk nonsense in front of Miss Zhou." ”

Yan Chi's words froze, and he tilted his head sideways and glanced upwards at him.

Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile, "Miss Zhou is a happy person, although she was abandoned by her biological parents, but she met Lord Zhou and the prince again, with Lord Zhou and the prince taking care of her so much, the rest of her life will be smooth." ”

Yan Chi hooked his lips and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Zhao Huaiyan didn't answer, thinking, why did you borrow my auspicious words? It's obviously borrowing your dragon power.

Zhao Huaiyan felt that this prince was not easy to deal with, she had the idea of retreating, but if she wanted to retreat, she had to retreat naturally, and leaving rashly would only arouse greater suspicion from this prince, especially that she was now shouldering the major mission of healing Zhou Xiaochan, and she couldn't go if she wanted to, so she could only be vigilant and vigilant at all times, so as not to fall into Yan Chi's trap.

However, Yan Chi didn't test him this time, he accepted him sincerely, so he told him so much, otherwise, why did he talk about these gossips with his staff, and tell him everything about Zhou Xiaochan?

Yan Chi finished what he had to say, picked up the book of poems again, and read it.

After another oil lamp went out, Yan Chi waved his hand and said lazily, "It's okay, you go down to rest, you don't have to wait for the palace tonight, go back and have a good rest, the palace sees that your legs tremble when you take a horse step today, and you can't think about your legs, you can run laps in the prince's mansion when you are idle in the future, anyway, you will rub the fingering, use it when you are tired, and within half a month, your leg strength should come up." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "Listen to the prince." ”

Yan Chi put down the book of poems and shouted outside, "Someone." ”

Immediately, Xuanxiang and Shang Rou walked in.

Yan Chi said, "The two of you will guard the temple tonight." ”

Xuanxiang and Shangrou should be.

Zhao Huaiyan retreated and went out, probably because he ate well today, and drank a glass of wine, because he spent an endurance this morning, and another physical strength in the afternoon, he went back to freshen up and lay on the bed, and fell asleep at once, and woke up the next day in the morning watch.

It's still early to wake up, not too late.

Zhao Huaiyan weighed the sky, still lifted the quilt and got up, sorted himself out neatly, opened the door, and walked out.

As soon as I stepped into the compound, I saw Ganyang head-on.

Gan Yang is the housekeeper of the prince's mansion, he is not just in charge of his family, he has a lot of daily affairs, the prince is busy with court affairs, busy with reception, busy with all the things that his identity should bear, he is so busy, it is impossible to be distracted to take care of the house.

And there is no hostess in the Prince's Mansion, and without a hostess, there is no housekeeper.

This huge mansion, inside and out, is run by Gan Yang alone, he gets up very early every day, almost before the rooster crows, and the rooster crows after the rest. Fortunately, he is not an ordinary mortal in the flesh, not that he is a god or a spirit, he is also a human, but he has a deeper cultivation than ordinary people, and has more powerful force than those who practice martial arts. He won't be overwhelmed.

And he didn't do so many things in the Prince's Mansion alone, there were many second-class housekeepers under him, and these second-class housekeepers were all promoted from the guests of the Prince's Mansion, and they were all very capable.

Rong'an Courtyard is his own courtyard, no one lived in the past, and now Zhao Wuming lives, he didn't expect Zhao Wuming to get up so early, so when he turned around and saw a shadow standing in the shadow of Jiang Chen Weichen, he was really shocked, thinking to himself, there are not many people in the world who can appear behind him silently.

After looking closely, he saw that the person's face was Zhao Wuming, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Mr. Zhao!" ”

Zhao Huaiyan didn't expect to bump into Ganyang when she went out so early, she originally wanted to walk around the Prince's Mansion and touch the bottom of the Prince's Mansion, so that she could draw a map of the Prince's Mansion and take it to Youshi Street to sell. One is to make money, and the other is to let those people who have ghosts take advantage of the situation to disturb Yan Chi Qingjing. But when he bumped into Ganyang, Zhao Huaiyan couldn't act without permission.

Zhao Huaiyan smiled and arched his hand towards Gan Yang, "Steward Gan." ”

Gan Yang glanced at him and asked, "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan said with a smile, "Last night, the prince added dinner and gave wine, so he ate well and slept well, so he naturally got up early." ”

Gan Yang listened to this, pursed his lips and smiled, thinking, Xuanxiang and Shang Rou both felt that this Mr. Zhao was flamboyant, he didn't think it was two days ago, but now it is a little interesting, he said, "It's good to eat well and sleep well, it's been two days since I came to the Prince's Mansion, are you still adapting?" ”

The corners of Zhao Huaiyan's mouth grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Adapt, how can you not adapt, whether it is food, shelter or the people you come into contact with, they are a hundred times better than my previous ones." ”

Gan Yang smiled, "Are all literati as eloquent as you?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan didn't answer, only smiled, "Steward Gan is the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion, and there are not 10,000 scribes in the Prince's Mansion, but there are 1,000, right?" You have seen more than I have, and you know better than I do. ”

Gan Yang said, "They don't dare to show off their eloquence like you." ”

Zhao Huaiyan sighed, "I can only say that among all the writers in the Prince's Mansion, I am the lowest, so I have such a big emotion, what I say is all what I think in my heart, this is not eloquence, it is a complaint of love." ”

Gan Yang laughed, put his hands behind his back and said, "It seems that you are very grateful to the prince for keeping you." ”

Zhao Huaiyan couldn't help but say, "Of course." She preferred to let Yan Chi brush her down.

Gan Yang asked, "Got up so early, is there something wrong?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan shook his head, it was purely because the biological clock woke up here, and there was no way to sleep again.

Gan Yang said, "That's right, I lack a manpower today, you can help me first, it can be regarded as an expression of your feelings." ”

Zhao Huaiyan was stunned.

Gan Yang walked out the door.

Zhao Huaiyan came back to his senses, hurriedly followed, and asked, "What do you want to help?" ”

Gan Yang smiled and walked forward, he was wearing Surrey's favorite brown blue placket gown, with a robe belt of the same color tied around his waist, and cloth boots on his feet, although he was old, nearly forty-five years old, he could walk steadily, and the posture behind his hands had an iron-like military bearing.

After listening to Zhao Huaiyan's question, he said, "It's not a difficult thing to do, it's what you are best at, you are the prince's civil servant, you can't lift your hands and shoulders, and I won't let you do manual work, it's just a matter of mouth." ”

Zhao Huaiyan thought to himself, what do you say? Then she can do it properly, among the nine countries, she is not boasting, she can override her eloquence, but there are really few people, although she does not go out of the palace when she is young, does not go abroad, and seems to know nothing about the world, but in fact, she knows everything.

In terms of talent, the one who can fight with her, except for Yan Chi, the prince of Yan Kingdom, is probably only Bu Jingtao, the author of the great work "Views of the Waves", which makes all the literati in the world sincerely worship, the author of the huge work, the one who has a package of mountains, vast white clothes, and is known as the prince Shaobao of one step and one storm, the Taifu of Qin State!

However, this person will definitely not come to Yan Country for no reason.

Yan Chi was even more unlikely to quarrel with her.

Then, if these two don't come, she won't be afraid of who can beat her in speech.

Zhao Huaiyan was arrogant, patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Steward Gan, if it's really a mouth-touching thing, I promise you can bring me." ”

Gan Yang looked back at him with a smile and nodded, "Then there will be Mr. Lao Zhao later." ”

Zhao Huaiyan said, "No problem. ”

Gan Yang laughed and asked, "Does Mr. Zhao know what month and day it is?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan thought for a while and said, "April 15." ”

Gan Yang said, "Mr. Zhao claims to be a talented man and knows astronomy and geography, so do you know what day April 15 is?" ”

Zhao Huaiyan touched his head and thought, what day? It's an ordinary day. didn't wait for her to say this, Gan Yang continued, "The list of the world's top of the list is refreshed every six years, and every time it is refreshed, it will be a world-famous battle. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his back to look at Zhao Huaiyan and said with a smile, "After the prince won the first place in the world when he was ten years old, every April 15th, some strange people will come to provoke him. ”

When Zhao Huaiyan heard this, she immediately understood what Gan Yang was helping by calling her to help, her eyes widened, and she said angrily, "Steward Gan is going to use me as a shield?" ”
