The canonization of the crown prince is a big deal, so the old king of Nanyang was naturally dragged back to Nanyang, waiting in the capital, waiting for Chu Yan to canonize the crown prince before leaving for Nanyang.

He naturally didn't know Chu Yan's plan, so he dragged him to stay in the capital first.

The Ministry of Rites has put a lot of effort into the canonization ceremony and is making intensive preparations.

After Chu Xian entered the court, he helped Chu Yan share part of the court affairs, and the things pressed on Chu Yan's shoulders seemed to be lighter all of a sudden, and a faint smile on his face could be seen every day, and the courtiers thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in good spirits on happy occasions, only Chu Chen knew that Chu Yan's smile never broke after receiving the letter from An Huajin.

Chu Chen was depressed in his heart for a few days and thought about it, everyone has their own fate, his life is like this, and he is envious that Chu Yan will not come.

You must know that what Chu Yan lost is probably the most valuable thing in the world.

Of course, it depends on how you look at it. In the eyes of others, the position above the tens of thousands of people is unattainable, but in Chu Yan's opinion, it can be abandoned like a shoe, and it is not as good as going to Nanyang to blow the cold wind and look at the snow.

The actions of the Ministry of Rites were faster than Chu Yan imagined, and the crown crown of the prince was made on the 20th, and a large hall was arranged, and on this day, he came to the day before the main hall.

The night before the ceremony, Chu Yan entered the palace and went to Fengqi Palace to see the queen.

The queen looked at him with a smile, "It's so late, why did you come over?" Tomorrow is the ceremony, and you will be busy from morning to night for a whole day. What are you doing on such a cold day? ”

Chu Yan looked at the queen, "There are some things I want to say to the queen mother." ”

The queen nodded and instructed Mama He, "Mama, you go to the door and keep guard." ”

Mama He should have been, and went immediately.

There are two mother and son left in the main hall.

Chu Yan asked softly, "Queen Mother, if I don't want to sit in the big seat, will you be angry?" Or what will you think? ”

The queen was stunned.

Don't sit in a big seat?

Now that the prince has been established, why did he come to her to say this?

The queen looked at Chu Yan, leaned over, and asked, "Yan'er, is something happening?" ”

Chu Yan shook his head.

The queen wondered, "Then ...... you"

Chu Yan said calmly, "Erchen is tired of the capital, and he doesn't want to live in the capital all the time in the future, he doesn't want to be in the big position, he wants to go to Nanyang to live." ”

The queen was startled, stood up and looked at him, "Then you...... Tomorrow is the ceremony of the establishment of the reserve. If you say today that you don't want to be the crown prince anymore, the courtiers are afraid that they will blow up, this ...... How can you joke? ”

"Tomorrow the main hall will be held as scheduled. Erchen just wanted to talk to the queen mother in advance. Since Chu Yan received An Huajin's letter, he pondered how to find a suitable opportunity to tell the queen.

The queen was even more puzzled, "Since the palace will be held as scheduled tomorrow, then you now say that you don't want to be the prince......"

Chu Yan said, "The eldest brother is talented, virtuous and virtuous, and the eldest brother wants to let the eldest brother sit in the big seat, but the eldest brother does not want to enter the court since he returned to Beijing from the forbidden place, and the son wants him to enter the court, and he must agree to ask his father to make the son the prince on the first day of entering the court, and he will assist the son and the minister in the affairs of the court." Erchen really didn't want that position, so in order to let the eldest brother enter the court, he should first go down to the prince, and then slowly, Erchen will push the throne to the eldest brother. ”

The queen understood, and was silent for a while before sighing, "Yan'er, tell the queen mother the truth, why don't you want a big position?" Ninety-five above tens of thousands of people, don't you really want to sit? ”

"Erchen may have thought before, the identity of Erchen is not to fight, but I can't fight. What I have heard, seen, and heard since I was a child, and what I have seen and heard in my eyes, ears, and hearts are all the tricks of the emperor. Erchen was actually very disgusted in his heart, but he thought that he couldn't get rid of it, this was his fate, and Erchen could only accept his fate. But now, Erchen doesn't want to accept his fate. ”

"What changed that you didn't want to resign yourself to?" The queen asked sharply, "Is it Xiao An'er?" ”

Chu Yan pursed his lips, "It has nothing to do with my cousin." ”

The queen glared at him, "You have nothing to do with the queen mother, you were born to me, how can I not know if it has anything to do with it?" ”

Chu Yan was silent.

The queen said, "Xiao An'er's temperament, did you see from her that she didn't accept her fate?" ”

"She made me see that she kept her faith and sacrificed her soul." Chu Yan said softly, "She has the belief of the An family." But the belief of the royal family, the sons did not have it, the sons did not know how to stick to it, and my father did not teach me, nor could he teach me. ”

The queen looked at Chu Yan, and for a while there was endless distress, she took two steps, came to him, reached out and touched his head, and scolded with distress and anger, "Stinky boy, your brothers, how many people have grabbed the position of the head, you say don't want it, you are like this, how can they be embarrassed?" ”

Chu Yan raised his head and looked at the queen, how many years had he not been touched by the queen mother? reminds him of An Yining, he also likes to touch An Yining's head, at this moment, it seems to go back to before he was seven years old, when he was a child, the queen mother always loved to touch his head.

He asked, "So, does the queen mother agree with what her son thinks?" ”

The queen withdrew her hand and laughed angrily, "What do I have to disagree with?" How can I manage your own life, how can I manage it? Although I have been the queen in this palace for 20 years, I have not thought for a day how good this palace is, if you don't want it, don't want it. ”

Chu Yan's heart was a little more relaxed, and his face was a little moved, "Erchen, thank you to the queen mother." ”

The queen waved her hand and sighed, "Xian'er, that kid is also a stubborn person, in the case of privately making weapons, in front of your father and emperor, he will not admit his guilt." If you can talk to him openly and honestly, that's the best, otherwise if he wants that position in his heart, it's fine, if he doesn't want it, treat you as a brother, but you calculate him like this, he is afraid that he will be angry with you. ”

Chu Yan pursed his lips, "Erchen knows." ”

He paused, and then said, "The eldest brother used to want that position, but now he doesn't want to fight with his son." But the eldest brother has ambitions in his heart and does what he does for the people's livelihood in the world, which is much stronger than that of the sons, who have no ambitions, no beliefs and no ambitions to support, and are tired of the palace and the capital, so it is better to go away, Nanyang has always been what the sons want, maybe there is the place where the sons and daughters return. ”

The queen sat back in her chair, "If you don't want it, just let it go, how you are, the queen mother will support you." When the words fell, she sighed, "Yun'er, that girl, has always wanted to go to Nanyang to have a look, if she knows that you go to Nanyang, she is afraid that she will ......"

"Erchen will also bring his sister." Chu Yan took over, "There are many good sons and daughters in Nanyang, and it is okay to marry Nanyang." ”

The queen was stunned.

Chu Yan said again, "Or, in the future, when the sons and daughters leave, the queen mother can also be together?" ”

The queen was stunned again.

Chu Yan asked tentatively, "Queen Mother, haven't you always been homesick?" You and your father are now in this field, if the day your son leaves Beijing, you and your son will go together. The eldest brother is generous and will definitely agree. ”

He did not mention whether the emperor agreed or not, and now he no longer needed his consent.

The queen was amused, "Our mother and son are all gone at once, doesn't it make the courtiers laugh?" It also provoked criticism from all over the world. ”

"So what? Does the Queen Mother care? ”

"Now that you want to open it, you are becoming more and more frivolous, and you dare not even say that you don't care about it." The queen shook her head, "I'm homesick, but since the day I married into the palace, I never thought about going back to Nanyang, I just wanted to go back to Nanyang Province to save my relatives, and now you told me to leave Beijing and go back to Nanyang, and never come back, which makes me feel like a dream,"

"It's not impossible." Chu Yan said.

"Well, maybe it's possible, but let's talk about it! Let me think about it. The queen sighed, "Tomorrow you will set up a grand ceremony, and after the ceremony, you will be the crown prince." Even if you push the situation to Xian'er, how can it be so easy? You still have a long way to go, besides, now that Your Majesty is still alive, Your Majesty, that person can bend to this point, this palace is also impressed. Your thoughts, don't be noticed by Your Majesty, lest you cause trouble and be calculated by him. ”

"Erchen knows." Chu Yan woke up, "The queen mother can rest assured." ”

"I said why is Yun'er very happy recently, presumably the two of you mentioned going to Nanyang in your private correspondence with Xiao An'er? She has no opinion? The queen asked.

Chu Yan nodded.

The queen laughed angrily again, "You, one by one, are really ...... Big idea. He didn't even come to tell me until now. ”

Chu Yan looked at the queen apologetically, "Erchen also thought about it for a long time before he made up his mind. ”

"yes, that's it." The queen said, "Since you have made up your mind, let's take it step by step!" One day, when you think the time is ripe, Xian'er, I will help you round up and persuade you. As long as your brothers are good and can let the people live and work in peace and contentment, what does it matter who does that position? ”

Chu Yan bowed his head, "I hope that the eldest brother will not be angry with me at that time." ”

The mother and son talked for most of the hour before Chu Yan left Fengqi Palace.

After he left, the queen sat down at the table, flicked the wick for a while, and laughed softly to herself, "Your Majesty values the position of Mount Tai, but it is ironic to know that my son does not want it." ”

The An family never wanted that position, and Chu Yan, who had shed half of the An family's blood, didn't want that position either.
