"I know." Empress Wei also suppressed the sneering look on her face, her eyes were slightly condensed, and she said with a cold face: "Don't worry, it's yours, no one wants to snatch it from you." ”
Yan Ke understood the meaning of Empress Wei's words, and also smiled, leaned slightly, smiled, and looked at Empress Wei with a solemn face, "Queen Mother, the jade seal must not fall into Yan Yi's hands!" ”
"Heh," Empress Wei let out an almost inaudible sneer, "It's really a perfect match!" ”
Long.
Empress Wei almost fell to the ground in shock for a moment.
"That person, the queen mother doesn't know, but she should have heard of it." Yan Ke smiled and looked at Empress Wei, and after being puzzled by Empress Wei, she said with a smile: "It's the daughter of King Zhan and Rong Fanghua, Rong Jin." ”
"Got a sweetheart?" Empress Wei looked at Yan Ke, "Who is it?" Can you still be nobler than the princess of our royal family? Although they are not descendants, they are the real proud daughters of the sky......"
Yan Ke shook his head with a smile, "Queen Mother, my grandfather sent a message to his son, saying that Yan Li already has a sweetheart, if you want to win her over, you must not make up your mind on women, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not please him, but provoke him!" ”
"What's wrong?" Empress Wei looked at Yan Ke and said puzzledly: "You are the only one under the knees of the left and right mother queens, your sisters, if they can fight for some help for you, it will not be in vain for me to treat them well on weekdays!" ”
Yan Ke listened to Queen Wei's plan, and immediately twisted her eyebrows and said: "This idea, the queen mother canceled it as soon as possible, and don't have it again in the future." ”
"Probably not." Empress Wei shook her head, and told Yan Li about her refusal to attend the dust washing banquet in the evening to meet the princes and princesses, and at the end, she said softly: "I originally thought that I would choose one of several princesses who are suitable to marry and match him, but I didn't want him to be like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard. It's really unindoctrination! ”
"Erchen just greeted him, he ignored it, and he had an expression of rejection thousands of miles away." Yan Ke looked up at Empress Wei, "You say, could it be that he has already chosen to stand on Yan Yi's side?" ”
He cared about something else.
Yan Ke nodded, he was not interested in Rong Jin's identity.
Empress Wei nodded, "It's true, when your Sixth Emperor Aunt married the Zhan Mansion under the gift of the stepfamily, I heard Han Cheng and your father say with my own ears that that woman was Rong Fanghua, the eldest lady of the Changxing Houfu in the past. ”
Yan Ke smiled and said softly: "Is it that he doesn't know, but now Dongxia is full of bounty notices about him and what is Rong Jin." After a pause, Yan Ke raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with interest: "By the way, I heard that Rong Jin is the seed left by the war king Han Cheng after the spring breeze in Dongxia back then, is this true, queen mother?" ”
Empress Wei looked at Yan Ke in surprise, "You mean that assassin is Yan Li?" Did he come to Northern Qi to avoid trouble? ”
Yan Ke nodded, "It is said that an assassin entered the palace to assassinate, and Dongxia is now the crown prince's prison." ”
Empress Wei nodded, "What, does it have anything to do with him?" ”
"This, Erchen knows a little bit of news." Yan Ke said to Empress Wei: "Didn't you get the news a few years ago, saying that something happened to the Dongxia Palace?" ”
Empress Wei told Yan Ke about Yan Li's only four words from beginning to end, and at the end, her eyebrows frowned lightly, and she asked with a heavy heart: "I looked at it coldly, Yan Li actually didn't want to recognize your father at all, and he didn't want to come to Northern Qi, but why did he come again?" ”
Yan Ke couldn't help but look at Empress Wei with a puzzled expression.
"Huh?"
Empress Wei sneered, sneered and said, "It's okay if you don't say it, as soon as you say it, I want to laugh." ”
Yan Ke remembered the faint glance of Shicai Yanli, and the chic departure after that, a faint light flashed between his eyes, his smile remained unchanged, and he asked, "What is the attitude of my father towards him?" ”
Empress Wei nodded, and a rare touch of anger appeared on her full moon-like and amiable face, "It's really a dragon giving birth to a dragon, a phoenix giving birth to a phoenix, and a son born to a mouse will make a hole." Like his dead ghost mother, his eyes are on the top of his head, and he doesn't know what the difference between dignity and inferiority is! ”
"You mean Yan Li?" Yan Ke looked at Empress Wei.
Empress Wei waved her hand, exempting Yan Ke from the courtesy, and after Yan Ke sat down, she raised her eyes to look at Yan Ke and asked, "What do you think of this person?" ”
"The son has seen the queen mother." Yan Ke stepped forward to salute Empress Wei.
In the main hall, Empress Wei had already sent everyone down, and only Wei Xiu was waiting on the side.
Yan Ke smiled suddenly, turned his head to collect his gaze, and turned around and walked towards the hall.
Empress Wei's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Come in, you just stand as a stone, and your father won't pity you!"
It wasn't until Yan Zhengtian and his party couldn't see their figures that Yan Ke straightened his waist again, stood up, his warm eyebrows and eyes narrowed like a cat, and looked at the empty temple in the distance with a pensive expression.
Yan Ke waved his hand again, "My son respects my father." ”
When the words fell, he led the people and left.
Yan Zhengtian paused, looked up at the polite Yan Ke, and after a sigh, asked, "Are you coming to see your mother?" Without waiting for Yan Ke to speak, he said again: "Go in, your queen mother is waiting for you." ”
"Erchen has seen his father." Yan Ke hurriedly took half a step back and waved his hands in salute.
Looking at Yan Ke's figure that was gradually moving away, Yan Ke's warm eyebrows and eyes were slightly twisted, but in the next moment, he quickly stretched out, and was about to enter the hall, but the moment he looked back, he bumped into Yan Zhengtian who was walking out of the hall.
Yan Ke froze, only for a moment of being stunned, Yan Li had already passed by.
Cousin? Yan Li lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips pursed a touch of unknown meaning, and after bowing his head slightly to Yan Ke, he took another step and left.
Yan Ke also saw Yan Li standing in the threshold at this time, the corners of his lips were slightly curled, a moderate smile bloomed on his face, he stood still one step away, looked at Yan Li's gaze hidden under the silver mask, and asked, "But cousin?" ”
This second highness, eyebrows and Yan Zheng were born with a seven-point resemblance, and his facial features are handsome like a knife, but his temperament around him is very similar to that of Queen Wei, with a warm temperament, elegant and gentle, watching him come step by step, it seems that he is walking leisurely, not in a hurry or dry, and his demeanor is moderate, to the point that he has a bit of a humble gentleman and a feeling of being gentle as jade.
Yan Li's steps paused, and in the next moment, he saw a slender figure walking from under the eaves of the corridor, and after a few steps away, Yan Li's eyes swept lightly, and he saw the face of the second highness.
Second Highness, Yan Ke!
"Your Majesty, the queen, the second highness has come down."
Just as Yan Li walked to the threshold, the voice of the little palace maid sounded outside.
This...... Yan Zhengtian and Empress Wei looked at each other, and for a while, no one knew what to say!
Yan Li stood up and turned away to leave.
"If the emperor and Niangniang have nothing to do, I will leave."
Queen Wei is okay, but the smile on her face is not so warm.
Both of them will be used to being high, and at the same moment, they will be slapped in the face by the same person, such a feeling...... Yan Zhengtian lowered his eyebrows, and a cold color appeared on his body.
Yan Zhengtian and Empress Wei's faces changed in unison.
That is, he is not interested in knowing those princes and princesses, how everyone was in the past, and how will it be in the future.
It's nice to say, but the meaning is straightforward.
"I don't plan to stay here for long, and I don't know if I'll come back in the future." Yan Li raised his head, his eyes were clear to Wei Huang and Yan Zhengtian, who were looking at him, and said lightly: "My mother once said that love is suffering, and it is better to miss each other in the future, so it should be regarded as never met." ”
The purpose of his coming to Northern Qi is not to make friends with those dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, this kind of drama of recognizing relatives can still be avoided!
Although Yan Li never looked up at the lawsuit between the two of them, he also had a full view.
Empress Wei calmly ignored Yan Zhengtian's gaze, but looked at Yan Li with a smile and love, at first glance, she would think that Yan Li was her nephew, not Yan Zhengtian!
Husband and wife for many years, it can be said that the understanding of each other is already left hand to right hand!
Yan Zhengtian raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked at Queen Wei quietly.
Originally, he just said that he would let Yan Li see the prince, but this time even the princess wants to see him!
As soon as Yan Zhengtian's words fell, she also looked at Yan Li with a smile, and said softly: "It was my negligence that I forgot that you had been on the road for so many days, so let's go back and rest first, and when it is time for dinner, I will meet your cousins and cousins again." ”
When Empress Wei heard Yan Zhengtian's voice, she wrinkled her brows almost invisibly.
Yan Zhengtian nodded noncommittally, but when the queen was about to tell Wei Xiu to invite someone in a loud voice, he raised his eyes to look at Yan Li, who looked indifferent to the side, and asked, "Ah Li, are you tired?" If you are tired, you should go and rest first, and it is not too late to meet them again when the dinner is in the evening. ”
And I saw that the hall was going to be quiet again. Empress Wei spoke out at the right time, she smiled at Yan Zhengtian and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to call Ke'er and other princes, recognize Li'er, turn around, meet in another palace, and no one knows anyone." That's a joke. ”
Can't he ask about the jade seal on the first day he sees people?
He didn't speak, and Yan Zhengtian didn't know what to say for a while.
Yan Li nodded, and then stopped talking.
Yan Zhengtian came back to his senses at this time, he looked up at Yan Li, and said, "The imperial doctor said that he was worried about becoming ill, took a few patches of medicine, and slowly recuperated, no, it is much better." ”
Empress Wei smiled and said, "Li'er Shi just asked you, have you ever been better." ”
Yan Zhengtian looked at Empress Wei.
Empress Wei on the side saw it, and although she didn't know why Yan Zhengtian was distracted, she still reminded him softly, "Your Majesty." ”
Yan Zhengtian was full of worries, turning over the river and the sea, thinking for a while, what would happen if he listened to the words of the princess of the country that day, and thinking for a while, the princess of the country was going to take the jade seal away, it can be seen that it is not as beautiful as she said. Where have you noticed Yan Li's questioning.
Yan Li smiled, did not answer Empress Wei's words, but looked at Yan Zhengtian and asked, "I heard His Royal Highness say that the emperor's body is not in harmony, has he ever been better?" ”
"It's good to come," Empress Wei looked at Yan Li with a gentle smile, and said softly: "A few days ago, when I heard the news of the death of the princess, the emperor was really sad for several days, and he kept talking about taking you to the palace. ”
Yan Li raised his head and gestured to Empress Wei.
Yan Zhengtian nodded, pointed to Empress Wei, who had already taken a look at her side, and said to Yan Li: "This is the queen mother, your aunt." ”
At no time has the remorse been so strong as it is now.
Back then, if he hadn't listened to the words of traitors, was suspicious of the imperial sister, and thus separated from the imperial sister, how could there be today's Wei's unauthorized power?!
Yan Zhengtian had an astringent smile on his face, and his mouth was even more like swallowing a pound of yellow lotus.
What did the imperial sister say when she knew that he was going to abolish his wife as a concubine and marry Wei's daughter?
Etiquette can't be wasted?!
The look on Yan Zhengtian's face froze.
"Back to the emperor, my mother once said that etiquette cannot be abolished, the emperor is the king first, and the family second." Yan Li said lightly.
Because Yan Li interrupted him with a voice.
Needless to say, he couldn't go on.
"Ah Li, call it uncle, it's all a family, don't ......"
Although only the bridge of Gao Ting's nose and thin lips were exposed, Xie Zhengtian still saw the shadow of Yan Wufang, the princess of the protector of the country, at a glance. Thinking of the days when the imperial sister protected him all the way and finally sent him to the throne under him, Yan Zhengtian's throat was hoarse, and the words he said were even more vibrato.
Yan Zhengtian looked at Yan Zhengtian with an obscure expression and stood there, like a steep wall that made Yan Li dare not or want to approach.
Empress Wei looked at Yan Zhengtian.
Tong Xi and Wei Xiu, who came in closely, raised their eyebrows in unison.
Yan Li didn't kneel, just slightly bowed.
"I've seen the emperor, the queen."
Yan Li just entered the main hall, Empress Wei and Yan Zhengtian stood up at the same time, and a smile bloomed on their faces at the same time, looking towards Yan Li, but when they looked at the silver mask on Yan Li's face, the smiles on their faces froze. However, it was only a moment, and it was restored to its original state.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Yan Li to stride in.
He was silent, and neither was the queen, and soon the hall fell silent.
The queen was reminding him that he relied on her Wei family to secure this position?
Once upon a time?
Yan Zhengtian's lips were as thin as a knife, and the smile deepened.
Empress Wei smiled lightly on her face and said softly: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and he is worried about the affairs of the world. The concubines have nothing to do every day, and as they get older, they always like to think about the past. Xu responded to that sentence, thinking about it every day, dreaming about it at night, no, I dreamed of the imperial sister! ”
"Oh!" Yan Zhengtian put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Empress Wei, "Over the years, I have never dreamed of the imperial sister once. ”
Empress Wei glanced at Yan Zhengtian lightly, and continued to say what came to her mouth, "Your Majesty, it's really strange to say, last night, the concubine also dreamed of the imperial sister. ”
And Queen Wei, who was sitting next to Yan Zhengtian's right hand, had a face like a full moon, delicate facial features, and a gentle temperament.
Yan Zhengtian is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a Chinese face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is a rare beautiful man. At this moment, he was holding a cup of tea in his hand, his eyes were slightly drooping, and the corners of his lips were smiling like a smile, and he didn't know if he was thinking about his own thoughts, or listening to Queen Wei's words.
In the Jiaofang Palace, Yan Zhengtian and Empress Wei sat on the left and right.
Tong Xi secretly snorted and hurriedly followed.
"Reckless!"
Tong Xi bowed slightly, and was about to turn around and say a word to Yan Li, but no, the figure around him flashed, and Yan Li had already strode in with the glass curtain raised by the little palace maid.
But it turned out that Wei Xiu, the palace maid beside Queen Wei, personally greeted her.
"Father-in-law Tong, the emperor ordered, please invite the son in."
The little palace maid was about to answer, but she didn't want to, and a gentle voice sounded in her ears.
Tong Xi lit a little sand and said to the nearest little palace maid: "Go to Litong, and say that the son has arrived." ”
The little palace maid standing under the eaves of the corridor saw their group from a distance, and when even one of them turned around and entered the inner hall, the rest were all bent their knees, "The slave has seen the chief manager." ”
In this compartment, Yan left for about a quarter of an hour, and finally arrived at the queen's bedroom, Jiaofang Palace.
Linlang leaned closer to Lan Ying, urging Lan Ying to tell her about the affairs of the War King's Mansion.
"Master, tell me about it!"
Lan Ying sorted out the things that Yan Li wanted to use in his hand, and said, "You're really right, Miss Rong's side is much more lively than ours." ”
Seeing Lan Ying smiling, Linlang also smiled sarcastically. After laughing, she looked up at the red wall glazed tiles outside, and said to herself, "Hey, I don't know what happened to Miss Rong." However, it's certainly not like our side, a stagnant mess of water, and it's boring. ”
Lan Ying was stunned, but the next moment she laughed.
The implication is that she actually secretly looked for someone, but was rejected!
"Hey!" Linlang let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "It's not because there is no one waiting around the young master, Miss Rong refuses to accept me!" ”
Lan Ying couldn't help laughing, shook his head and said, "Why didn't you tell the young master before?" ”
"If you are dead in this palace, the War King's Mansion will be different!" seems to think of the thrill and excitement with Rong Jin in Changxing Houfu that day, Linlang's face was still blank one moment, and the next moment, her eyebrows were already dancing, "You said that according to Miss Rong's unwilling temperament, what will the War King's Mansion be mixed with by her?" It's really exciting to think about it! ”
When Lan Ying heard this, she was stunned and asked, "Why?" ”
When the others were far away, Linlang sighed heavily, sat down in the chair and looked up at Lan Ying, and said, "Master, I actually prefer to follow Miss Rong to the Zhanwang Mansion." ”
Because Yan Li did not signal Linlang or Lan Ying to follow, because of this, both of them stayed in Shaoqing Palace.
Yan Li picked up a step and walked out.
After Tong Xi responded with a "yes", he made a gesture of invitation, and said respectfully: "Childe, please come with the slave." ”
Yan Li nodded, leaned slightly, got up, and said to Tong Xi: "Lead the way ahead." ”
In the inner hall, Tong Xizheng bent his waist slightly and whispered to Yan Li, "Son, the emperor is waiting for you with the queen in the Jiaofang Palace." ”
With a smack, Linlang turned around and followed.
Linlang actually doesn't like to deal with this kind of person with six incomplete roots, and always feels that they have a kind of gloomy dead air in them.
Tong Xi's feminine eyes raised slightly, glanced at Linlang coldly, and walked inside.
Except for today's saints, whoever sees him is not smiling and respecting Gonggong Tong. Now it's good, a yellow-haired girl pointed at her nose and shouted by name, this revenge is not avenged, how will he see people in this deep palace in the future!
Tong Xi almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
"Hey, what is that Tong Xi, the young master of our family called you in!"
With a cold snort, Tong Xi was thinking about how to repay this revenge in his heart, when a crisp and pleasant voice sounded in his ears.
I think he has been waiting in front of the emperor since he was eight years old, since he became the head of the inner court, when has he been treated like this? Not to mention those ministers inside and outside, even the East Palace Niangniang had to give him a few thin noodles when she saw him! This stinky hairy boy really thinks that this palace compound is his one-acre and three-point land in Jingshan?
And Tong Xi, who was rejected in the outer hall, could drip water on his already feminine face, which became more and more gloomy.
After Linlang answered, she turned around and went out to greet Tong Xi.
However, since it is Tong Xi who is here now, and he is the most important eunuch of Yan Zhengtian, Yan Li was stunned for a moment, and then said to Linlang: "Please come in." ”
Of these two people, Yan Li didn't see any of them, and they were all sent to Lan Ying to deal with them!
Just entered the Shaoqing Palace, first the great eunuch An Bei of the Jiaofang Palace, and Duke An came to visit on the order of Empress Wei. Anbei's feet stood firm, and the great eunuch of Linhua Palace, Zuo Gonggong, Zuo Shi, followed by the order of Concubine Shu.
The palace that Yan Li and Yan Yi entered together was originally Yan Zhengtian, who went to see Yan Zhengtian first, but it is said that Yan Zhengtian was discussing with the cabinet ministers in the imperial study at that time, so Yan Yi went to the Linhua Palace and asked the concubine Helan to say goodbye, and Yan Li lived in the Shaoqing Hall of the original princess of the country.
"Young master, the father-in-law named Tong Xi is here, saying that the emperor wants to see you."
Yan Li was about to speak, but at this moment, a Linlang voice sounded.
Naturally, they will use their strength to make use of their strength, whether it is the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty or the nobles, these two pools of water are mixed up, and they are so troubled that they fish in troubled waters, in order to settle for good in the future!
What did he and Rong Jin think?
Yan Li smiled.
Lan Ying raised her head and met Yan Li's gaze, "Young Master, what do you and Miss Rong think?" ”
Yan Li looked at Lan Ying.
Lan Ying suddenly realized, but in the next moment, she said puzzledly: "That day, Han Cheng wanted to tell Miss Rong to His Highness, because he didn't know the young master's existence, and Miss Rong later made clear her attitude towards Han Cheng and this matter, Han Cheng is not a stupid person, according to it, he shouldn't be such an obsessed person!" ”
Yan Li smiled at the corner of her lips, raised her eyes to look at Lan Ying, and asked, "Han Cheng went to Dongxia to find Jin'er that day, Aunt Lan, have you forgotten?" ”
What is the plan?
"Young Master," Lan Ying stepped forward and looked at Yan Li hesitantly, "What are the plans of the War Princess and the War King?" ”
Yan Li nodded, the corners of his lips curled up with a shallow arc, "Sure enough, as we expected, Han Cheng and Yan Wensu actually didn't want her identity to be in the daylight. ”
Lan Ying shook her head, a faint smile bloomed on her face, "It's not a big deal, the War King's Mansion refused to open the main door, and Miss Rong entered the War King's Mansion as the daughter of the old man." ”
Standing in front of the window, Yan Li, who was originally looking down and thinking about his own thoughts, heard the voice, turned around to look at Lan Ying, and asked softly, "How is it, there's nothing wrong with her over there, right?" ”
"Young master."
