Chapter 296: The Feast
Yan Yiheng, who couldn't move at will, took a look at his feet because he was taking care of his feet, and his movements were a little difficult, so he turned his head directly with a strange posture.
When he saw who the gray robed man was, he replied casually: "You said he?" He is my second emperor brother, Yan Beichen, the second prince of Yan Kingdom. ”
"Dao, Changyu."
Qi Changrong understood in his heart and smiled meaningfully.
It turned out that this was the second prince of Yan who 'didn't mess with the ordinary' and became a disciple of the empty door early on.
Seeing her smiling, Yan Yiheng glanced at her and said strangely, "What are you asking for?" ”
"It's nothing, I just think this person is a little familiar." Qi Changrong's eyebrows did not move, and he smiled faintly.
"Really?" Yan Yiheng was suspicious, and he still felt that something was wrong, but in the end, he didn't need Qi Changrong to open his mouth at all, he persuaded himself by himself.
"During this period of time, the second brother has been living in the Lanxin Mansion, presumably Brother Qi has passed by, but he has not had in-depth communication, and he can't remember it clearly."
Qi Changrong carefully savored every word he said.
After a long time, she smiled slowly: "The third prince and the second prince have a good relationship. ”
"It's not good, it's just very good." Yan Yiheng put the leg wrapped into pig's trotters on the thick futon, and corrected her with her eyebrows: "My second brother and I grew up wearing a pair of pants, and we never distinguish between you and me, and he is also the only person who can enter and exit Lanxin Lake freely." ”
"I see." Qi Changrong nodded in understanding.
That being said, her eyes were full of disapproval.
Obviously, skeptical of the deep friendship between them.
Yan Yiheng was agitated and continued: "The second brother is in the same situation as me, I am from an unfavored concubine, and he is also from an unfavored concubine, if it weren't for the two of us relying on each other for life over the years, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold on to it now." ”
Qi Changrong smiled lightly: "Gu understands, the third prince doesn't need to say much. ”
The more she understood, the more unspeakable it seemed.
Yan Yiheng hesitated, and did not say anything more.
Only Qi Changrong, after learning the identity of the gray-robed young man, fell into a suspicious silence, and did not even pay attention to the obvious scrutiny and offense around him.
Yan Beichen's face was extremely familiar to her.
It's exactly the same as the one I saw in the royal archives.
It's just that today's Yan Beichen is more immature than the person in the portrait.
Qi Changrong was a little curious, according to Yan Yiheng's description, Yan Beichen should be a motherless and unfavored little pitiful.
Such a person is not even as good as Yan Yiheng, who has the support of the Jin family, so how did he kill powerful opponents one after another in his previous life and finally reach the top?
Qi Changrong couldn't figure it out.
When she sent someone to check the royal family of Yan Kingdom, she never paid attention to the second prince of Yan Kingdom.
The presence of this person ...... Extremely low.
Just like Yan Yiheng said just now that they had lived in the same place for half a month, she didn't even realize it.
Yan Beichen is too peaceful, and the secret guards assigned to her will not take the initiative to investigate.
Is it normal?
Abnormal.
On the other side, as if sensing the scrutiny in Qi Changrong's eyes, Yan Beichen, who had been inactive, suddenly raised his compassionate handsome face and avoided it.
A pair of eyes are full of tranquility, and a pair of eyes are full of indifference.
At this moment, no one took a step back.
For a long time, Yan Beichen took the lead in reacting, greeting Qi Changrong invisibly, and then slowly looked away and silently recited the Buddha's name.
Yan Yiheng didn't notice the strange atmosphere, only suddenly saw the string of sandalwood beads on Qi Changrong's wrist, and asked with a little surprise: "Brother Qi believes in Buddhism?" ”
"I don't believe it." Qi Changrong shook his head, unconsciously stroked the lines on the sandalwood beads, and his cold and hard eyes softened a little: "It was given by a friend." ”
Seeing Qi Changrong's gentle eyes, looking at the sandalwood beads, his eyes were soft as if they could drip water, Yan Yiheng sighed.
What friends?
At first glance, it was given by her sweetheart, otherwise how could she have this spring-hearted expression?
Yan Yiheng, who consciously saw through something, did not debunk it, and was about to say something more, when he felt a strong gaze stay on his body, and he did not leave for a long time.
Yan Yiheng's muscles tightened unconsciously.
It's him.
Yan Zheng.
Qi Changrong seemed to be aware of it, and silently followed the strong gaze.
A pair of indifferent eyes suddenly appeared in front of him, Yan Zheng was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted, and smiled reluctantly at Qi Changrong.
Then he smiled and talked with the people next to him, no longer paying attention to Yan Yiheng's every move.
Qi Changrong retracted his gaze, poured a cup of tea for himself, dipped the corners of his lips and said, "It seems that your injury should be related to the eldest prince." ”
Hearing this, Yan Zheng hurriedly looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he lowered his voice and said with a wry smile: "Brother Qi knows it himself, and there is no need to announce it in front of others." ”
Seeing this, Qi Changrong summed up to himself: "It seems that what you have done is not small. ”
Yan Yiheng was helpless, but he gritted his teeth and refused to reveal what he had done.
Fortunately, most of Qi Changrong's interest is now attracted by Yan Beichen, and he is not interested in asking about Yan Yiheng's actions.
She quickly let it go.
When drinking the third cup of tea, in the sharp and piercing announcement, Emperor Yan finally came late.
As soon as he sat down on the dragon chair, the ministers in the hall got up one after another, even Qi Changrong was no exception, and he bowed upwards in the crowd.
"Your Majesty."
"The son of the emperor greets his father."
"I've seen His Majesty Emperor Yan."
The three different greetings are the same.
Emperor Yan smiled and bowed his head, and was raising his hand to caress and say goodbye.
His eyes involuntarily fell on Yan Yiheng, who was 'Golden Rooster Independence', and then, the dark smile in his eyes deepened by two points, but it quickly disappeared.
Immediately, a voice with implicit majesty resounded in the Golden Palace: "Zhuqing is exempt from courtesy, and the prince of Changrong is exempt from courtesy, today is a regular banquet, you don't have to be restrained." ”
Hearing this, Qi Changrong withdrew his hand and sat down in his position again.
Before sitting down, he didn't forget to give Yan Yiheng a look.
The latter understood, and immediately put on a painful expression on his face, and ordered the minions beside him to help him sit down carefully.
The waiter was afraid that he would not do well, so he cheered up 120,000 points of spirit, and did not dare to touch Yan Yiheng's injured leg.
The legs that were wrapped like pig's trotters were so conspicuous that even Emperor Yan couldn't help but look at them.
Seeing this, Yan Zheng's heart tightened, he never wanted his father's eyes to stay on people other than himself.
Almost instantly, he reacted immediately, deliberately cleared his throat, and greeted Yan Yiheng from a slightly distance: "Is the third brother's legs better?" ”
"It's good." No matter what he thought in his heart, Yan Yiheng was indifferent: "Don't bother the eldest brother." ”
Aren't all the wounds on his body due to him?
Now he deliberately cries and pretends to be compassionate, just to show his benevolence in front of his father.
After a cold snort, Yan Yiheng had already seen through Yan Zheng and turned a blind eye to the favor he deliberately bestowed.
Ran Yanzheng didn't know it, and said with fake concern: "The prince's mansion has good bruising medicine, and when the banquet is over, I will immediately send someone to Lanxin Lake." ”
"No, you don't."
"They are both brothers and sisters, and the third brother doesn't have to be polite to me."
Yan Yiheng's eyes were dark, and he stared coldly at Yan Zheng who was talking to himself from a slightly distance, and said impatiently: "If the eldest brother really wants to give, why do you want to give it in front of your father, not in private?" Who do you want to show grace to now? ”
Yan Zheng felt a little embarrassed, whether it was a brother or a courtier, except for a few people who were not interested, he was always held by the people around him, and he had never been laughed at in public like this.
In front of everyone, he couldn't get off the stage, and reluctantly smiled: "What do you mean by what the third brother said?" If I don't tell you in advance, I'm afraid that the person who delivered the medicine won't be able to get on the boat in Lanxin Lake, and if the third brother really doesn't want it, I won't send it. ”
In the end, there was no lack of depression in his tone, but there was no anger after being offended.
That look, as if he had been let down by a well-intentioned weakling.
Yan Yiheng stared at the other party with a good look, his body was not moving, his face was cold and hard, even if he injured his leg, he couldn't hide the rebelliousness around him.
Under the comparison between the two, one is unruly, the other advances and retreats to a certain extent, and it is clear which is higher and which is lower.
The smile on Yan Huang's face, who was sitting on the dragon chair, faded by two points: "Third brother, your eldest brother is also a kind heart, you can not accept it, but you can't abandon it." ”
"Yes, my son obeys." Yan Yiheng cooperated, and he didn't care much about Yao Yao arched his hand towards Yan Zheng, and said lazily: "It's really my fault to live up to the kindness of the eldest brother, and I hope that the eldest brother won't bother with me." ”
Yan Zheng hid the discomfort in his heart, and was about to say that he didn't mind, but after seeing that the person opposite said that sentence perfunctorily, he went to talk to others.
But the person he talked to was still the one he was most afraid of.
The fourth elder of the Yan Kingdom, the only prince who wants to confront him regardless of the consequences.
Yan Zheng couldn't hold the smile on his face.
But soon, the unhappiness in his heart was relegated to the back of his mind.
No matter what, he will definitely be the only winner in this struggle to earn savings.
So what if the fourth child is rampant?
In a few days, he will be assigned horns, and from then on he will not be with the national capital.
It's just a loser, so why care?
Emperor Yan frowned slightly, and the pity for Yan Yiheng because of his injury quickly dissipated.
Seeing this, the courtiers were as quiet as cicadas, and did not dare to insert themselves into the royal struggle.
The Golden Temple fell into an inexplicable silence.
At this moment, Yan Beichen, the second prince of Yan Kingdom, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked at Qi Changrong with gentle eyes.
Looking at her wrist to be exact.
There is a string of red sandalwood beads that are rare in the world.
"This thing is very compatible with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Hearing this, Qi Changrong smiled heartily: "This thing is a gift from a friend, Gu Ye feels that it is a very good gift, and the second prince is not the first person to praise it." ”
Yan Beichen suddenly realized, and said again: "I see, His Royal Highness the Prince's friends have a good eye. ”
