After the banquet last night, Tsing Yi came back at night and recalled the two little girls sitting in front of the steps in Fangchen Courtyard during the day crying and missing Miss Lu.

Li Yan thought guiltily for about a quarter of an hour, and asked people to take the list of treasures that accompanied him, and personally ticked some as a reward for the counterinsurgency hero Chi Taishou.

Since there is merit, it is natural to benefit the family.

So Li Yan pondered and checked some delicate small things, and prepared to reward them to Miss Chi, and by the way, she brought the fire fox Qiu that she was originally going to give to Miss Chi, as well as the box of pigments she liked very much, and felt that since Miss Chi liked "Sister Lu" so much, she should be happy to see these.

But why are you crying? She doesn't like it?

Li Yan was suddenly glad that he came here in person today, and if he wanted to change the courtesy, he would definitely drop the reward and leave, and the little girl Chi was hiding in the house alone and weeping at this time.

Chi Tang struggled to hold the fire fox Qiu with one hand, touched the wooden box with the other, raised his head, smiled at Li Yan, and said, "No, I like it very much!" ”

It turned out to be tears of joy.

Li Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I heard from my colleague that you were -" last night—"

"Ahem...... Chi Changting coughed loudly a few times, and after interrupting Li Yan's words, he lightly ordered: "Move the girl's reward to Jinnian Courtyard-" and turned to Chi Tang again, his tone was gentle, "Go in and take a look, I still have something to say with the Yan guards." ”

Little girl Chi nodded obediently, still holding the fire fox Qiu, and deliberately pointed to Tsing Yi to get some weight of paint box, and then saluted Li Yan and left.

She was holding the fire fox fur in her arms, her eyes were fixed on the paint box, and as for the rewards of the other princes, she didn't even give half of her eyes.

When Li Yan saw that he was in a complicated mood, Chi Taishou's cool words came to his ears: "Your Highness is really hard!" ”

Li Yan retracted his gaze and said: "Chi Qing is polite, he has no important things to do in the Lu family alone, and there are many constraints, so he simply comes out in casual clothes to observe the people's feelings." ”

Chi Changting nodded: "Your Highness loves the people like a son, it is the blessing of the community, but it seems to have gone in the wrong direction, from here to the south, about fifty steps, you can observe the people's feelings." ”

Fifty steps to the south, almost out of the gate of the Taishou Mansion.

Li Yan is so big, he has never been ordered to be evicted, and he doesn't know what to say for a while.

Chi Taishou was still insufficient, and added: "Your Highness has every opportunity, and the minister will not prevent His Highness from observing the people's feelings." ”

was driven away by the courtiers, no matter how good his temper was, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was annoyed, his face sank, and behind his back, he said coldly: "Chi Qing will hand over the county guard position in the past few days, and on September 15, he will set off to Beijing with Gu!" ”

Without waiting for Chi Changting to speak, he made a final decision: "Determination has been made!" ”

Chi Changting watched him be silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed and bowed: "The minister obeys!" ”

It's that simple? Li Yan looked at him coldly, and always felt that there was some conspiracy hidden in Chi Taishou's smile.

Chi Changting straightened up, but he was already talking and laughing with him looking forward to the future after entering Beijing: "In March next year, the eldest daughter of the Xie family will be filial piety, and the minister has not yet congratulated His Royal Highness on marrying the bride!" ”

Li Yan frowned and said, "I only know that next March is the time for the test!" ”

Chi Changting smiled "hehe" and said: "After trying it, I just chose the crown princess, there are good ministers outside, and there are virtuous concubines inside, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

Li Yan was displeased: "Jiangnan has just been decided, and the meeting is about to try, Chi Qing should focus more on state affairs!" ”

Chi Changting smiled: "The prince's wedding is also a major event of the country!" ”

Li Yan said lightly: "It's just a concubine, it's too early to get married." ”

In fact, with his age, he should have chosen a concubine a long time ago.

Qi Guogong fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Xie family for him early in the morning, and was about to play to ask for the selection of the crown princess, but Mrs. Xie suddenly fell ill and went in a hurry, and the Xie daughter kept filial piety for her mother.

Later, Qi Guogong didn't take a fancy to others, but as a result, Pei's daughter was used by King Zhao to take the lead, and Du's daughter made a private agreement with someone for life.

In addition, there is no Qi Guogong who likes it, so he simply waits for the Xie family to show filial piety.

Chi Changting smiled a little and said, "Before the holy decree of the crown princess is ordained, His Royal Highness needs to pay special attention to it, and don't let King Zhao and the noble concubine take advantage of it." ”

Li Yan still looked faint, glanced at him, and said, "I believe that Qi Guogong and Chi Qing will pay attention." ”

Chi Changting was originally from the past, and he heard a little meaning from his tone.

Indeed, Xie's daughter is not Li Yan's favorite.

Qi Guogong is the prince's own uncle, and he has been using his own power to run for the prince, but he is not the prince himself after all, and he does not only consider the interests of the East Palace.

Chi Changting looked at him twice and said with a smile: "The minister will live up to His Highness's expectations!" ”

Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince look down on the Crown Princess, what does it matter to him? Anyway, don't take a fancy to his daughter!

Li Yan was bored and was about to leave, but was stopped by Chi Changting again.

"Previously, His Highness proposed to recognize the little girl as a righteous daughter, I don't know when I plan to recognize my relatives?" Chi Changting smiled and groaned, his face full of anticipation.

Li Yan frowned and said, "Didn't Chi Qing refuse?" ”

Chi Changting said: "The minister thought about it carefully, and felt that His Royal Highness's proposal was very good, Ah Tang lost his mother since he was a child, and he was deficient in marriage in the future, if he was protected by His Royal Highness, he would have a smooth life, but the minister was confused for a while, and he didn't know His Royal Highness's good intentions!" ”

Li Yan was speechless for a while.

Chi Changting said more and more smoothly: "According to the minister, it should be able to enter Beijing before the moon, and you still need to consult Your Majesty on this matter, if you say quickly, maybe you will be able to do it before the year——"

"Lonely Ah Tang is seven years old!" Li Yan interrupted.

Chi Changting said with a smile: "It was a narrow-minded minister before, as long as His Royal Highness has a fatherly heart for the little girl, it is inevitably biased to measure it by age!" ”

Li Yan's brows furrowed even tighter: "Even if you are willing to admit it, Ah Tang can't shout, right?" ”

Chi Changting looked at him with a smile.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words to block him now are all the reasons he used to reject His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the first place.

"Ah Tang knows how to be grateful the most, how can he not know that this is the grace of His Highness?" Pond Changting Road.

Li Yan was silent again.

Chi Changting's tone was light, and he said: "Since His Highness is unwilling, then that's it, and the minister will not mention to Ah Tang that His Highness has refused, lest she misunderstand that His Highness looks down on her——"

"Of course not!" Li Yan said, "Ah Tang is innocent and cute, she can recognize her as a woman, Lone is willing, but she still needs to ask Ah Tang, if she doesn't want to, Lone can't be reluctant!" ”

Chi Changting glanced at him, and Shi Li smiled: "Thank Your Highness for your grace, the minister will ask her!" ”

Li Yan didn't know that he was trapped, but this matter was originally proposed by him, although he didn't understand why Chi Changting rebelled, but he recognized Miss Chi as a righteous daughter-

Of course, he was either unwilling, or ...... It just feels a little sudden.

"In that case, it's better to ask her in person now!" Li Yan said.
