Chapter Twenty-Six: A World for Two

"The husband enters, the husband enters the ......"

In the mansion of the chief grandson of the military department, a family member ran into the hall panting.

At this time, the heroine of the house, the Chang family, was sorting out the clothes for her son Changsun Sheng in the house, and when she saw the panicked appearance of the housekeepers, she wondered in her heart, stood up, and said softly, "Zhao Cheng, why are you so panicked?" ”

The family named Zhao Cheng ran over in a few steps, took a few breaths, handed over a greeting note in his hand, and said respectfully, "Enlighten the husband to enter, and the distinguished guests outside the mansion ask to see you!" ”

"The master is not in the house......" Chang said suspiciously.

Zhao Cheng shook his head again and again, and said, "Husband, that distinguished guest is not asking to see the master, but asking to see the young lady......"

"Xiangyu?" Chang Shi was slightly stunned, and asked curiously, "Which distinguished guest?" ”

"Husband, you can see for yourself......" As he spoke, Zhao Cheng handed the worship note in his hand to Chang's.

After a rough glance at the payment of the post, Chang's face changed slightly, and he muttered, "Li Xian, the king of the eight sages...... Isn't that His Highness in Jiangnan, when will he come back to Jijing? As she spoke, she hurriedly asked, "Zhao Cheng, is His Royal Highness still outside the mansion?" ”

"Yes, waiting outside the house!"

Chang's face showed a little annoyance when he heard this, and he blamed, "Such a faux pas, why don't you invite Your Highness into the mansion?" - Quick, please invite Your Highness into the house! ”

"Yes!" Zhao Cheng retreated.

Not long after, Li Xian and Ji Hong came to the main hall under the guidance of Zhao Cheng.

Seeing this, Chang's Yingying bowed, bent down and saluted, "Concubine Chang's, I've seen Your Highness!" - My husband is not in the house at the moment, and it is difficult for the concubine to go out of the house to greet him, and I hope His Royal Highness will not blame him! ”

Li Xian raised his hand to support him, and smiled gently, "Auntie is so polite, Xiao Wang is ashamed!" - Xiao Wang still remembers that when Xiao Wang was staying in the eldest grandson's uncle's house, his aunt was also so beautiful...... I haven't seen her for a few years, and my aunt's demeanor is still 1rΓ¬! ”

Chang Shi smiled slightly, pretended to blame Li Xian, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, don't make fun of the concubine, after more than ten years, the concubine is ......old."

"How can you!"

"When will Your Highness return to Jijing?"

"Oh, I came back yesterday, but I wanted to surprise Sister Xiangyu and accompany her to the Lantern Festival, so I didn't show up...... By the way, Sister Xiangyu can be in the house? ”

Chang knew that the eldest grandson Xiangyu had sneaked out at this time, and said with a chuckle, "Xiangyu's child has annoyed his father recently, and he was confined in the room and not allowed to go out...... Your Highness will take a break, and the concubine will go and see her! ”

Seeing this, Li Xian thanked him, "There is Aunt Lao!" ”

Chang smiled slightly, ordered the house to serve fragrant tea, and he moved to the boudoir of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, standing outside the door and raising his hand to tap the door.

"Xiangyu? Xiangyu? ”

In fact, at this time, there was only the maid Xiao Tao in the room, and when she heard Chang's call outside the door, Xiao Tao was shocked in her heart, and she said nothing in fear, and after thinking about it, she got into the quilt on the bed and covered her head with the quilt.

After not seeing the eldest grandson Xiangyu respond for a long time, Chang Shi was also a little puzzled, pushed the door and walked in, and saw that there seemed to be a quilt lying on the bed, and shook his head with a smile.

When she walked to the bed, Chang bent down and glanced at the bottom of the bed, and saw that there were no men's boots this time, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the edge of the bed, and said softly with a slight chuckle, "Xiangyu, guess where he came back?" ”

shouted a few times and didn't respond, Chang felt that something was wrong, lifted the quilt, and looked at Xiao Tao who was trembling on the bed in a daze.

"Husband...... Husband into the ......," Xiao Tao called timidly.

In addition to being stunned in his heart, Chang asked in disbelief, "Xiao Tao, why are you?" What about Xiangyu? ”

"Miss, she ......"

"What's wrong with her? Say it! Is something wrong? Alas, you girl is really in a hurry to die as a concubine, what's wrong with Xiangyu Jingjing? What about entering? ”

Facing Chang's questioning, Xiao Tao shrank her head and hesitated for a while, before she said in a hurry, "Miss...... I went to the Lantern Festival ......"

"Visiting the Lantern Festival?" Chang Shi was stunned and asked in surprise, "With whom?" ”

Xiao Tao closed her mouth tightly and shook her head vigorously.

Seeing this, Chang Shi thought for a while, and said anxiously, "Isn't it dangerous for a girl's house to enter the Lantern Festival alone?" ”

Seeing that Chang's face was full of anxiety, Xiao Tao did not doubt him, waved his hand and hurriedly said, "It won't happen, Xie Dajin's guards are very powerful......" Speaking of this, she showed a little frightened and quickly covered her mouth.

"Xie Dajin? Shaoqing Xie An Xie Dajin of the Great Prison Temple? - He was in the room yesterday, right? ”

Xiao Taomian was taken aback, and subconsciously said, "How can the husband get ......?"

Seeing Xiao Tao covering her mouth in a panic, Chang was annoyed in her heart, and blamed in a low voice, "Xiangyu, that kid, is becoming more and more presumptuous, and so are you, your young lady doesn't care about things, and you are also messing around!" - What if this is known to the master? ”

At the mention of Changsun Jing, Xiao Tao's face showed a deep sense of fear, and she cried and begged, "Husband, don't blame Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao has persuaded Miss...... This...... What should I do? ”

Seeing that Xiao Tao was crying so badly, Chang Shi was also a little unbearable, patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Okay, okay, don't cry first...... Xiangyu, that kid, did you go to the Lantern Festival with Xie An, the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple? - Did she say when she would be back? ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Tao nodded and said, "Miss said that she will return to the house before the master returns to the house......

Chang Shi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was afraid that the eldest grandson Xiangyu would leave as soon as she left, and now that she knew that she would come back before the time of the child, Chang Shi was a little relieved.

However, when he thought that the Eighth Prince Li Xian was waiting in the hall of the main mansion in the front yard at the moment, Chang felt a little headache.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chang Shi whispered to Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, listen, you pretend to be your young lady and stay in the house, don't ask for anything outside the house to see if it's wrong, and don't tell him to enter the ...... about this matter."

"Do you want to hide it, master?" Xiao Tao asked tentatively.

Chang Shi glanced at Xiao Tao angrily and said, "What do you think?" ”

Thinking of the angry appearance of the eldest grandson Jing after learning about it, Xiao Tao shrank her head in fear, nodded again and again, and said, "The slave has remembered ......."

Seeing this, Chang Shi turned around and left, using the excuse that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was resting in the house, and ordered dozens of families outside the house not to disturb, and then she returned to the hall of the main house to see Li Xian.

"Your Highness, I'm really sorry, Xiangyu's child was accidentally infected with a cold yesterday and was bedridden, and he is still resting now, His Highness's mind is probably ......"

Li Xian was stunned, he never thought that he would rush back from Jiangnan at night, but it was such a result, he stood up and asked in a tight voice, "Auntie, I don't know how Sister Xiangyu's condition is?" Can Xiao Wang go and see her? ”

"This ......" Chang shook his head and said in embarrassment, "Although His Royal Highness and Xiangyu's child have known each other since childhood, Bi Jing is now older, and there is a difference between men and women, not as good as at the beginning...... I'm afraid there's something wrong! ”

Chang's family is the main room of the eldest grandson Jing after all, the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson's family, and her words are not leaky, even though Li Xian is a little concerned about the condition of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, it is not easy to speak again.

After thinking about it, Li Xian reluctantly showed a little smile, and with a strong sense of regret, he arched his hand and said, "It seems that Xiao Wang's luck is not good this time!" - In this case, Xiao Wang will leave for the time being, and ask his aunt to tell Sister Xiangyu on his behalf, so that she can recuperate with peace of mind......"

"The concubine is saved...... His Royal Highness is going to return to Beijing this time, how many times are you going to stay? ”

As if he understood the meaning of Chang's words, Li Xian smiled when he heard this, and arched his hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Xiao Wang has no intention of leaving in the short term this time, and he will never leave Beijing in a hurry like the last few times...... Therefore, it is inevitable to disturb the eldest grandson's uncle and aunt for a while......"

"Well, Your Highness is serious......"

After a few words of greeting, Li Xian left the eldest grandson's house with Ji Hong, and as soon as he stepped out of the door of the eldest grandson's house, he glanced back at the direction of the main house in the mansion and shook his head with a smile.

Beside him, Ji Hong said lightly, "That woman is different, most of ...... is hiding something."

"Heh," Li Xian smiled disapprovingly, and said habitually, "Xiangyu seems to be gentle, but in fact, she has a very small heart, if anyone offends her, she will most likely be hated by her for the rest of her life, unless she is coaxed with good words...... When Jiangnan was unstable, my father sent the king to visit Jiangnan, because of the urgency, the king went in a hurry, without saying goodbye, and was busy with tedious things during the period, and did not write to her, this time she did not want to see the king, it is also reasonable! ”

Ji Hong shook his head slightly when he heard this, and said lightly, "I don't think this is a bad thing!" - Since she doesn't want to see His Highness, His Highness can take advantage of this time to expose the imperial court's collusion with the Jinling assassins to frame Zhongliang, so as not to have too many dreams at night! ”

"Mr. Ji is really worried, Jijing is undoubtedly the backyard of the family for Xiao Wang, what danger can there be? β€”β€”That's it, since Xiangyu doesn't want to accompany this king, this king can only ask Mr. Ji to visit my Jijing Lantern Festival together......"

Ji Hong frowned when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness, you ......"

As if seeing through Ji Hong's thoughts, Li Xian raised his hand to interrupt his words, and said with a chuckle, "Tonight, this king doesn't want to talk about him!" - Let's go, Mr. Ji, Xiao Wang can assure you that I will be in Beijing on the Yuan Festival Lantern Festival, and I will not be inferior to Jiangnan! - Wang Liang, why don't you persuade Mr. Ji on behalf of this king? ”

Wang Liang in Li Xian's mouth refers to one of the 1,000 guards waiting for him in the eldest grandson's mansion Li Xian and Ji Hong, who has a rough appearance and looks like he is around thirty, and he has followed Li Xian for six or seven years, and he is the old one of the thousand guards beside Li Xian.

Seeing Li Xian speak, the king smiled coolly, grabbed Ji Hong's arm, and said with a smile, "Mr. Ji, Your Highness came to Jijing at night, so let Your Highness relax in this lantern festival......

As soon as the words fell, the rest of the guards also spoke to persuade them.

Looking at Li Xian's appearance that he had nothing to do with himself, Ji Hong was secretly annoyed, and after thinking about it, he nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll let His Highness go today, but I got up early today, Your Highness needs to take me to the court for this matter, and there must be no further delay!" ”

"Just Mr. Yiji!" Li Xian laughed, took Ji Hong's arm, and walked towards the street full of colorful lights in the distance.

Neither Li Xian nor Ji Hong noticed that Wang Liang, who was walking behind them, slowly put away the smile on his face, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, on the West Street of Guangqu Street, which was hundreds of zhang away from Li Xian and Ji Hong, Xie An was walking on the road with his eldest grandson Xiangyu.

It is no wonder that since Bi Jing's branch of the crown prince Li Wei was broken, Fei Guo could only borrow Xie An to make a comeback, and moreover, Chen Bei had repeatedly told him to ensure Xie An's safety, in view of these two reasons, Fei Guo is now acting like a loyal guard who protects the lord, even if he is picky, I am afraid he will not be able to find the slightest negligence.

"Sure enough, it's much more comfortable outside...... "About a few steps away from Fei Guo, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, who was dressed in men's clothes, grabbed Xie An's hand, squeezed into the group unscrupulously, and walked into the distance along the street.

To be honest, holding the smooth little hand of the eldest grandson Xiangyu is really good, but the strange gaze when the street walks back and forth and looks at him makes Xie An feel extremely embarrassed.

It's no wonder who called the eldest grandson Xiangyu to dress up as a man in order to hide his eyes and ears, making this the first beauty of Jijing, who is captivating the country and the city, become a handsome man with a good demeanor, but then again, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is always a woman dressed as a man, no matter how she dresses up, she can't get rid of that rouge, so that in the eyes of the street, Xie An is like holding the hand of a motherly son, and the second is strolling on the streets of Jijing.

"What's wrong?" As if noticing Xie An's strange appearance, the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at him in surprise, and then glanced at the strange eyes that walked in from the side, showing a bit of narrowness in his eyes, deliberately hugged Xie An's arm, and put his whole body on him.

Sure enough, when the people who came and went on the road saw the appearance of Erjin, their faces were slightly shocked, and they subconsciously moved out of the way, obviously, they thought that this was a pair of men who were good at Longyang.

This kind of fatal misunderstanding made Xie An's forehead break out in cold sweat, but fortunately, he was not wearing the official uniform of Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple at this time, and subconsciously lowered his head, otherwise, within a single day, I am afraid that rumors will spread throughout Ji Kyoto.

The eldest grandson Xiangyu naturally saw Xie An's embarrassment, and while snickering in his heart, he didn't intend to let him go, deliberately put his lips to Xie An's ear, spit out Fang Lan, and said in a greasy voice, "Those who enter, who will enter the house as your male pet, are forbidden......"

Her breath mixed with a few traces of warmth and humidity spit in Xie An's ears, making Xie An feel a thrill all over his body, and after glancing at the inexplicable gaze around him, Xie An couldn't wait to let him get into it in an orderly way.

"Don't make trouble, Xiangyu, don't look at it......"

"It's because of the entry that the family is like this...... Brother Ann ......"

Boy!

This woman is crazy when she comes in?

Xie An raised his head and was about to speak, but was stunned to find that the eldest grandson Xiangyu stood on tiptoe and gently kissed the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, Xie An froze.

You must know that in the Great Zhou, even if they are husband and wife, they are also subject to etiquette, and they are not allowed to kiss me and me on the street, let alone young men and women, if they are bumped into by the guards of the patrol department of Weiwei Temple, I am afraid that Xie An and Changsun Xiangyu will have to spend this Shangyuan Festival in the prison of Weiwei Temple.

Don't look at it and sound absurd, but in fact, the Great Zhou Criminal Law clearly stipulates that there is this, and what is even worse is that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is still dressed as a man at this time.

Seeing the stunned and sluggish expressions of the people around him, Xie An only felt a burning heat on his face, and without saying a word, he pulled up the eldest grandson Xiangyu and fled forward in a panic.

ran for dozens of feet, and then stopped, and at this time, the eldest grandson Xiangyu couldn't straighten up with a smile.

"Interesting, huh?" Xie An glared at her angrily.

"Giggles," compared to Pingrì, today's eldest grandson Xiangyu seemed more lively and unrestrained, only to see her hands swaying Xie An's arms, begging for mercy and saying, "Brother An, don't be angry, entering the house is just a joke for you......"

"Let's have a ...... play" Halfway through, Xie An suddenly noticed that the second entry was in front of the public, coughed, and said in a low voice, "You said that you should be obedient today!" ”

"Okay...... eldest grandson Xiangyu pouted to express the dissatisfaction in her heart, putting aside her man-like attire, she really aroused love.

As if he had seen some clues, Xie An looked the eldest grandson Xiangyu up and down, and said in wonder, "Today, you seem to be very ...... Particularly interested? - Because today rΓ¬ is the Shangyuan Festival? ”

"Hehe," the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled when he heard this, leaned on Xie An, and said with a pretended grievance, "Yes, who told everyone to enter the family alone in previous years......

Xie An smiled disappreciatively, and said with a strange expression, "Are you still alone?" - I've heard a lot about you, and it is said that as soon as you open the jade mouth, the sons of the whole city will flock to you......"

"That's just normal," the eldest grandson Xiangyu blinked, and didn't hide it, so he said truthfully, "Those who enter, half of them are greedy for the power of the slave family, and half of them are coveting the beauty of entering the family...... It's disgusting to think about! ”

"Really?"

"Yes! - I haven't been in the house for many years and have not been so unrestrained in visiting the lantern festival, and you are still talking about the ......"

Looking at the dissatisfied god of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An smiled, and was about to speak, when his heart suddenly moved, and he noticed the language problem in her words, and said strangely, "How many years? - And before that? ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu was stunned, glanced at Xie An, and said with a deliberate smile, "Brother An also said just now, how can a woman like a slave family who attracts bees and butterflies not be accompanied by her?" ”

"......" Xie An opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

As if seeing through Xie An's thoughts, the eldest grandson Xiangyu giggled, tired of Xie An, his face was full of narrowness, and he said with a smile, "Brother An is jealous?" ”

"Well...... this"

"Say it!"

"Slightly, slightly......"

"Just slightly?" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, blinked.

Looking at the smug smile on her face, Xie An nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I'm jealous, okay?" ”

"Hehe...... "Hee Hee " Eldest Sun Xiangyu smiled with satisfaction, then sorted out Xie An's messed clothes with both hands, and said softly, "Don't worry, it's just a playmate of the slave family when they were young......"

"Who?" Xie An asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Xie An and said jokingly, "Guess? ”

"How could I have guessed that? β€”β€”Most of the people who can enter and leave the Changsun Mansion are the sons and daughters of a certain family in Jijing City! Maybe even Xie An didn't notice it, there was a faint taste in his words.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiled even more, his slender and white fingers gently scraped Xie An's face, and said with a smile, "Brother An is jealous......"

Xie An's face was slightly red, and he flatly denied it, "Hey, no!" ”

"Really? It's true? ”

"Really!" Being forced to ask by the eldest grandson Xiangyu was a little overwhelmed, Xie An said angrily, "Are you going to go shopping?" ”

"Of course!" Holding Xie An's right hand, the eldest grandson Xiangyu said with great interest, "I want to visit all the fun places...... Hey? There are a lot of people around there, what are they doing? Let's take a look at ......"

Before Xie An could say anything, the eldest grandson Xiangyu dragged him towards the group in the distance, looking at the smile on her face, Xie An couldn't help but laugh and sighed.
