Such a sloppy and unkempt person, no one else will believe him if he is a prince. But he is Yang Xi who has just returned from Nanqi, and he is basically frightened along the way, being chased and killed, and even sleeping in the open, even if he wants to tidy him up, he is afraid that he will be recognized. So much so that it is still like this in Luoyang.

Han Jian personally supported Yang Xi, followed by Gu Weipan, and when the three of them walked to the palace gate, Yang Xi still looked up at the palace gate, with some hollowness in his eyes. He was familiar with this place before, but it had only been more than two years, as if two centuries had passed, and now looking at this palace gate made him sad.

"Prince, please enter the palace." Han Jian reminded.

Yang Xi retracted his gaze and walked towards the palace gate, but when he saw that so many ministers were kneeling at the palace gate, he was very nervous and took two steps back, as if he was a little scared. But Han Jian and Gu Wei Pan stood beside and behind him, and he had no way to retreat. It wasn't until he felt that these people in front of him had no ill will towards him that he regained his courage and went to the palace. This time, his steps were much faster, as if he was about to quickly escape from the "dangerous" place at the palace gate.

Han Jian and Gu Weipan glanced at each other, and at this time, the civil and military officials had already stood up scattered. Originally, there were ministers who wanted to go up to greet Yang Xi, but Yang Xi didn't have any intention of entertaining in the face of these people, and walked over quickly, which made the few ministers who had been familiar with Yang Xi a little embarrassed. In the end, these ministers still gathered some, after all, now that the crown prince has returned to the court, it may be a good thing for them, which at least means that someone can balance the Eastern Mansion in terms of power. But it is obvious that Yang Xi's return to the dynasty this time was planned by the Eastern Palace, and Yang Xi didn't even say a word except for crying a lot, and even acted like an abnormal feeling. They still feel worried in their hearts. Could it be that Yang Xi is already "crazy"?

At this time, Han Jian would not explain anything to anyone, he and Gu Weipan followed Yang Xi's footsteps, and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs behind him had to follow, but the pace was obviously slower. Many people haven't come out of the shock just now, the prince's return to the court, such a grand event. Although it was the civil and military officials who came out to greet him in person, it was obviously a little hasty, because no one had heard the news before. Even Nanqi's side didn't let out the wind, which was also unexpected for them.

returned to the courtyard of Ye'an Pavilion, and waited for the civil and military officials to follow, but saw Yang Xi sitting on the steps in front of Ye'an Pavilion, as if he was resting, and as if he was looking for his previous feelings. In general, he is still very abnormal. Sitting there like a lonely old man, even Han Jian and Gu Weipan didn't rush to interrupt him.

Seeing the ministers scattering in, Yang Xi's eyes fell on these people, sweeping over them one by one, as if he was trying to find someone he knew among them. But even if he knew some people, he didn't stop looking, but continued to sweep, and finally everyone came in. He looked at the gate of the courtyard with empty eyes, as if he was looking at someone's arrival.

But it's empty. Obviously, no one will come either.

"Prince Chitose!"

Suddenly, one of the people in the crowd shouted, knelt on the ground, and wiped tears while crying. It was Lin Ke who was still pretending to be smart in front of Han Jian of Ye'an Pavilion just now.

As soon as Lin Ke's maverick move came out, it seemed to have appeal, and many ministers knelt on the ground with him, crying while shouting "Chitose". But I don't know if it's really sad or posturing. At least when it comes to the people who kneel in the back, many of them just follow the crowd, and they are not sincere at all.

Yang Xi glanced at these people, but shook his head slightly, got up, turned around and walked towards the palace gate. muttered casually: "It's too fake." ”

Ling Lin Ke, who was kneeling at the front, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, was this mocking him?

Although this sounds strange, it also shows that the prince is not a three-year-old child, and he is not crazy, he can judge that they are crying, and the words are so straightforward, there is a feeling that he can't continue to act. Lin Ke wiped his tears and was about to enter the Ye'an Pavilion with Yang Xi, but was stopped by the guards at the door.

"You are not allowed to enter without being summoned." The guard said coldly.

Lin Ke was stupid, he didn't know the rules, he always felt that the prince's return was a good opportunity for him to make a comeback, and now he suddenly reacted, even if the prince came back, now the prince can be said to be powerless, even Yang Rui, who is the emperor, can't control the power, and even does not hesitate to commit himself to the king of the east in exchange for the support of the east palace, and the prince can only be a puppet when he comes back, maybe when the empress's children are born, Yang Xi's position as the prince will be deposed. It's better to know each other a little, if it's really time to abolish the prince, it's not a matter of simply giving him a dismissal, and it's impossible to say how many people will fall to the ground because of this.

"Ning Shangshu, Lin Shilang, what are you waiting for, the prince has summoned you!" Han Jian suddenly appeared at the door and said a word.

Ning Yuan is very regular, he didn't move when a group of ministers knelt on the ground just now and cried wolf, not because he was not "loyal to the prince and loved the prince", but he knew that he had to make his position clear, and he should be closer to the East Palace, because those who knelt and cried on the ground were all unwilling, and belonged to Lin Ke's group. He doesn't kneel, and the people of the faction behind him won't kneel, and when the prince said "it's too fake", he was also relieved, at least this shows that it not only saves face in the Dongwang Mansion, but also leaves a pretty good impression in front of the prince, which can be said to be the right bet.

Ning Yuan and Lin Ke now have different official positions, even if they are summoned by the crown prince, they must distinguish their priorities and enter the Ye'an Pavilion one after the other. At this time, Gu Weipan stood there and sighed a little, others crying that it was fake, it couldn't be fake, but Gu Weipan was crying at the gate of the palace before, and everyone could see it. Now others don't have to think much to know that the reason why Gu Weipan is willing to go out of the mountain again is because the prince has returned to the court, and others have more respect for Gu Weipan.

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Ning Yuan and Lin Ke knelt down and saluted, they don't need such a big gift on weekdays, but now that the prince has just returned to the court, as courtiers, they also know that this is the basic etiquette.

Salute Yang Xi, who was sitting in the original seat of Yang Rui and was still a little nervous.

Yang Xi just glanced at the two of them, and suddenly glanced at Han Jian curiously, and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Lin Ke and Ning Yuan, although they were important ministers of the imperial court in the past, they were basically the most powerful ministers in the past two years, especially Lin Ke. used to be the Shangshu of the Eastern Pavilion, and he had no intersection with the six princes in the palace at all, and Ning Yuan was only the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites when Yang Xi was still in Luoyang, and he did not belong to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court, even if he had seen it in public. Yang Xi won't remember either.

"Back to the prince, Ning Shangshu is now the secretary of the ministry, and the leader of the book. The other is Lin Shilang, the servant of the ministry, and he was also the leader of Shangshutai. Han Jian saluted.

"Oh." Yang Xi nodded, and just when Ning Yuan and Lin Ke thought that the prince would greet them, Yang Xi suddenly asked, "What about my sister." ”

Han Jian saluted again: "Your Majesty is now recuperating from his injuries in the dormitory, and he learned the news of the prince's return. His Majesty was also eager to meet the crown prince. ”

Yang Xi suddenly got up from the chair, walked two steps and was almost moved by the table legs, but fortunately, with Han Jian's support, he barely managed to stabilize his body.

"I ...... I also want to see my sister. At the mention of Yang Rui, Yang Xi suddenly cried uncontrollably, ignoring the prince's demeanor at all.

Han Jian glanced at Ning Yuan and Lin Ke, who were stunned, and turned his head to Yang Xi and said, "This will accompany the prince into the inner garden to see His Majesty." ”

Yang Xi didn't talk nonsense, and hurriedly walked out of Ye'an Pavilion. Ning Yuan and Lin Ke were still kneeling on the ground, and Han Jian just raised his hand. It means that you can get up, but you have to take care of yourself. But Gu Weipan didn't come out with him, because Han Jian accompanied Yang Xi to Yang Rui's bedroom, which was a forbidden place for courtiers. Now the relationship between Han Jian and Yang Rui is known to the world, one is Yang Rui's "imperial husband" who "has not passed the door", and the other is the prince is also Yang Rui's younger brother, and it is natural for them to enter the palace. If others want to go in, they want to die.

Han Jian accompanied Yang Xi out, and the court officials, who were still talking to each other, suddenly quieted down, all looking at the two.

Yang Xi was obviously very familiar with the geographical location of the palace, and he didn't need Han Jian to lead the way at all, even if there were many people outside. It also can't attract the slightest sideways glance from Yang Xi.

Yang Xi walked briskly in front, Han Jian had to chase slowly to keep up with him, and the two of them walked all the way out of Ye'an Pavilion, taking the road to the dormitory. Others also know that now that the prince is back, he is going to see His Majesty. But there are still people who are worried, and they think to themselves, isn't the East King embarrassed now? The sister and brother are reunited after a long absence, and he, a powerful minister who has occupied His Majesty's body, also ran in, isn't it boring?

These words, they just think about it, and if they say it, it will be their own life.

When Yang Xi and Han Jian disappeared from the sight of the crowd, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then the discussion resumed. What is different from the past is that now everyone realizes that even if the prince is not here, it will not be their turn to leave, and now there are so many big things happening in the capital, the empress is going to get married, and now the prince is back. Everything is basically in one piece.

Yang Xi hurriedly arrived at the gate of the dormitory, and when he saw the guards who had strengthened his guard today, he was still a little dazed and didn't dare to go forward.

Han Jian waved his hand, and the guards left the guarded door, but they were also staring at this side. Yang Xi suddenly glanced back at Han Jian and asked, "I...... Is my sister okay? ”

This made Han Jian not know how to answer, and said Okay, now Yang Xi is bedridden, and even pregnant, all because of him. It's hard to say, but this is not what Yang Xi wants to hear.

Han Jian just smiled and nodded, there is no need to say anything superfluous, anyway, Yang Xi is about to see Yang Rui, so let him judge for himself.

Yang Xi entered the courtyard of the inner palace at this time, and after passing the door, his steps were not so hurried, and he suddenly touched his beard and said, "I...... I'd like to tidy up and see you sister again. ”

Han Jian smiled slightly and said, "No, your sister doesn't care about this." ”

Yang Xi nodded, how to say that it was also his own sister, he used to be like a little flower in a greenhouse, he lived carefree in the palace, and even in the palace, he didn't have to be Yang Rui is emperor, because Yang Rui never held up the emperor's shelf with his two younger brothers, but after nearly three years outside, when he returned to a familiar and unfamiliar place, he began to understand a lot of things, this palace gate is not so simple as a family in one day, but a power stage for many people to compete for. It is precisely because he is not the son-in-law of ordinary people that he was placed under house arrest by the people of Nanqi, and his life is like a dog.

"When I was a child, I used to come here, but after I was twelve, my sister didn't allow me to come in casually." Yang Xi said suddenly.

"Hmm."

Han Jian nodded, Yang Xi was one year older than him, and now Yang Xi was twenty. Originally, Yang Xi could marry a concubine and have a son to support the family, instead of going to Nanqi to be his proton. It seems that Han Jian said to Yang Rui that when Yang Xi went to Nanqi, he had his responsibility inside, so Han Jian did everything possible to rescue Yang Xi and come back.

Yang Xi's successful return this time was due to the contribution of the intelligence system of the East Wangfu on the one hand, and more because of the help of Sima Yi and Huiwang Xiao Ling, otherwise Yang Xi would not have successfully escaped. However, on the way he left Jinling and returned to Luoyang, Yang Xi's life was even more difficult than his previous life in Jinling, and he experienced several pursuits and killings along the way, but he escaped with his life in a narrow way. He was hunted down by not only the Nanqi people, but also some mysterious people. It is precisely because of these experiences that Yang Xi will feel more emotion after returning to the palace.

The once prosperous young man came back unkempt like a beggar.

Yang Xi walked in the direction of Yang Rui's dormitory step by step, and when he arrived at the door of the dormitory, some little eunuchs and palace maids were still standing, Han Jian had already sent someone in to spread the word before, and they knew that the prince was coming back, so they all took the initiative to come out to greet them. Compared with the courtiers, the palace people have a deeper affection for Yang Xi, for Yang Xi, no matter how low the status of the palace people is, it is also a family that watched him grow up, but those courtiers are changed every three days, after all, they are just helping Yang Rui govern the country.

Some old palace people couldn't help wiping their tears when they saw Yang Xi. When Yang Rui saw them, he walked more slowly, but before he could get forward, those palace people had already consciously moved out of the way, allowing Yang Xi to go in and meet Yang Rui.

The door of the palace creaked open, and a little palace maid walked out of the palace door, who was Yang Rui's personal palace maid Hui'er. Hui'er obviously didn't know Yang Xi yet, and she was still nervous when she saw a sloppy man like a forty-year-old uncle standing at the door of the hall, but after seeing Han Jian, she calmed down. In the past, she was the most scared when she saw Han Jian.

Han Jian did not evade, but accompanied Yang Xi into the palace gate, facing the curtain of the outer hall and the inner dormitory, Yang Xi did not step forward, but knelt on the ground, and kept kowtowing in the direction of Yang Ruilong's couch.

"Sister, Xi'er is back." Yang Xi's head was broken, but tears flowed out like a broken embankment again. (To be continued......)
