After packing up their things, Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu were about to set off.

Although she didn't make an appointment with Ling Xiao in advance, she must have liked Yan Qingge's invitation very much, and Ling Xiao's mother must have forced her to go on blind dates with men from various families in the past few days, and wanted to settle her family affairs quickly, so as to avoid falling into the disgusting situation of "renewing with the Shui family".

Yan Qingge came to the door at this time, and for Ling Xiao, it was completely relieved.

Unexpectedly, just waiting for the car, Long Kui came in from outside and said: "Lord, Niangniang, there are many people outside, sending a message to our house, saying that they want to invite the little prince out as a guest." ”

Yan Xiuyu waved his hand: "It's all pushed, write down which one the gift giver is, and pick the time to return the gift to the past." "Obviously, I don't want to deal with these people more.

He had expected that someone would come to the door when he came back, but he didn't expect to come so quickly, and find King Ning's Mansion so accurately, instead of sending the post to Yan's house.

"The concierge who can push it has already been pushed, and these slaves and maids really can't make the decision to shirk it." Long Kui showed Yan Qingge the box he was holding in his arms: "This is the worship post of Prince Zhao's Mansion, the Second Prince's Mansion, the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and the Right Minister's Mansion." ”

"Bring me the post of the right prime minister's house." Yan Qingge stretched out his hand and said. She and the Right Prime Minister's Mansion are really close.

When she opened the envelope, Yan Qingge was overjoyed, it turned out that this was a letter written by Mrs. Qiao Shi, the right minister, she said that she had found out that she was pregnant, and she wanted to get together with Yan Qingge these days. She is old, and she is the first child, so she is a little uneasy, and wants to listen to Yan Qingge and teach herself a little experience in protecting the fetus.

When Yan Qingge read Qiao's posts, Yan Xiuyu also read the remaining posts, and threw them back with a tired face: "Nothing interesting, it's all gone." ”

When he was locked up in the palace, these princes and grandchildren could easily enter and leave the palace and see all the ladies and princes, but none of them interceded with him, let alone took care of his wife and children.

It's just that Yan Xiuyu has been locked up in the palace for a long time, and he is much more mature than before, and his temperament is not a little bit stable, and he will not ignore these people at most, and he will no longer lose his temper for them.

Yan Qingge didn't want to see those princes either.

The second prince is no different from a waste now, and the fourth prince was only cleaned up some time ago and is under semi-house arrest. As for Prince Zhao's Mansion, the status has always been so salty. To put it bluntly, these people are just a group of poor insects who live on the royal snort, and they are pretending to be tigers all day long, in fact, they are offended like that.

"I'll reply to Mrs. Right Minister, and then let's go." Yan Qingge smiled: "It's only a little delay. ”

After speaking, she took out a blank letterhead in the box on the table and wrote a brief reply to Qiao's, saying that she would definitely visit her in person in the next few days, and told Qiao's not to move around and keep quiet at home.

After writing the letter, at the mouth of the envelope, Nightshade came in again and said, "Niangniang, the edict from the palace has come down." ”

The two looked at each other, and Yan Qingge asked, "Which eunuch from the palace is it?" ”

What she is most afraid of is the eunuch from Fengzao Palace. Yan Shuyu doesn't know how to be polite to others, and it is very likely that Yan Xiuyu was put back with the front foot, and someone was sent to collect the debt on the back foot.

"It's Zhu Liubao's father-in-law of Chuxiu Palace." Nightshade said.

Although Yan Qingge didn't want to deal with the prince, he was slightly better than Yan Shuyu, and nodded: "Invite my father-in-law to drink tea in front, and I will go with the prince." ”

Although Yan Xiuyu was locked up in Chuxiu Palace before, he really didn't see Zhu Liubao much.

When I got to the front, I saw Zhu Liubao sitting on a chair with his sleeves caged and drinking tea in a friendly manner. Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu greeted each other, and after greeting each other for a while, Zhu Liubao said: "Your Highness is still waiting for our family to go back, so let's announce the decree." ”

After speaking, wait for the room to kneel, unfold the apricot yellow holy decree, and read the above contents.

Yan Xiuyu listened, a pair of fists clenched tightly.

This holy decree is not vicious, and it actually wants Yan Xiuyu to immediately take over his brother's position in the Criminal Department.

Personally, this is a great grace, and the future is limitless for him to hold such an important position in his twenties!

But is that really a good thing?

Yan Xiuyu's elder brother has been in the Criminal Department since he was in his twenties, and after about decades of training, he has been in charge alone, until now, he has served in the Criminal Department for nearly 20 years, which can be described as conscientious, and he has done a great job of dotting up and down there, presiding over it impartially, and winning the hearts of the people.

Yan Xiuyu had followed his brother to study in the Criminal Department in the past, and he also admired his brother very much.

But his volunteer has always been in the army, and he never thought of being this kind of official in the capital for the rest of his life.

It is much more excessive than the former to not seek politics if it is not in its position, but not to seek justice in its position.

Let Yan Xiuyu, who has no experience and is not good at dealing with these things at all, take the power of the Criminal Department, even if the people under him are very capable and take over most of the work, but many major matters still depend on Yan Xiuyu to make decisions.

What can he do with no experience? As long as it doesn't take long, Yan Xiuyu will inevitably be charged with incompetence and other crimes because of the wrong decision, and from then on, he will be hidden by the imperial court, and there will be no possibility of a comeback.

This soft knife kills, isn't it powerful!

There was a fire pit in front of him, but Yan Xiuyu couldn't help but jump inside, and he had to be grateful to Dade and jumped in with a smile. Especially in the holy decree, it was stated that Yan Xiuyu was asked to take office immediately, and Yan Xiuyu didn't even have a chance to discuss with someone.

"Our family has returned to the palace. Lord Ning, go to the Criminal Department earlier, presumably the big guy is already waiting for you there. Let's be a big week, but we can't leave the criminal department for a moment. Zhu Liubao smiled pleasantly and left the Yan family.

Yan Xiuyu and Yan Qingge were very uncomfortable in their hearts, especially Yan Qingge, who had already wrinkled his brows into Sichuan characters, and was much more indignant than Yan Xiuyu. The prince is going to kill Yan Xiuyu completely, so he won't do it so much!

Just when Yan Qingge was full of anger, Yan Xiuyu smiled faintly and held Yan Qingge's hand: "Don't worry. ”

"Not in a hurry? It's not a rush at this time, but when will it be in a hurry. Yan Qingge said, eager to enter Chuxiu Palace.

"Don't you know a word called resignation!" A smile tugged at the corner of Yan Xiuyu's mouth: "If I don't accept this position now, it will be disrespectful." But after receiving it, and then hanging the seal and leaving, it is not called protest, but only resignation. ”

Yan Qingge was dumbfounded: "This is okay?" ”

"Absolutely. Let's go, but on the way to Ling's house in a while, you have to stop at the entrance of the criminal department, you can wait for me for a while. ”

Although Yan Xiuyu was full of seriousness, Yan Qingge could see at a glance that Yan Xiuyu was naughty again, and instead of feeling unhappy about this matter, he was full of interest and eager to try.

This is the biggest difference between her and Yan Xiuyu. Yan Xiuyu is always happy, he will not be defeated by any difficulties, and with him, any difficulties in this world will become full of fun.

After an hour, when the two came to the door of Ling's house, Yan Qingge had already been coaxed into laughter, and the two children had become very lively because they could go out.

Ling Xiao was anxious to deal with his mother. She is now running a famous wine shop in the capital, making money every day, making friends with many dignitaries, her mind and vision are long gone in the inner house, her mother suddenly shouted that she must choose a man to marry and live the life of "IKEA and IKEA" again, Ling Xiao can't accept it from the bottom of her heart.

But no matter how she resisted, her mother refused to let her go back, although she asked Chunni and Guiyan to go back and stare at the wine store, but she was not there, and she was always at ease.

Seeing that Ling Xiao listened to the maid's report, her face was full of joy, Ling Xiao's mother knew that it would be difficult to catch her back if Ling Xiao left this time. She couldn't help but scold loudly: "Ling Xiao, are you going to be angry with me!" Do you want to get back together with that person from the Shui family so much? ”

Ling Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect her mother to think like this.

Since she got married, she has rarely talked to her mother as she did when she was a child. Especially when she fell out with Shui Mu and moved back to Ling's house, she rarely talked to her mother about this issue.

"Mom, I don't want to go back to the Shui family, but I don't want to marry casually." Ling Xiao sat down, looked into his mother's eyes seriously, and said.

She felt that it was necessary to have a deep talk with her mother today, and they had to understand what they were thinking, otherwise this kind of thing would happen from time to time in the future. Since she doesn't want to get married, her family will be her closest people, and she must maintain her relationship with her family.

Outside, Yan Qingge was waiting for Ling Xiao, but a maid came out and said: "Our girl said, I can't go out today, so I asked Niang Niang to come for nothing, and I made an appointment with you to play together another day." ”

When the husband and wife went out, Yan Qingge was still a little worried, and said, "What did you say happened to Ling Xiao?" Could it be that her mother forced her to marry and locked her up. ”

"Impossible! Didn't you open a shop on Fuxiang Street before, and you didn't arrest her home and lock her up at that time, and what are you closing now? Ling Xiao is such a big person, can he be closed if he wants to? You're just worried about it! When you hang out with me today, don't think about it so much. Yan Xiuyu scratched her nose, took her in his arms with a big grin, and said.

Yan Qingge smiled embarrassedly, she really likes to worry about it now, and she doesn't know if it's because she became a mother, or because Yan Xiuyu was imprisoned in the palace for two years, and she had to do everything herself.

Yan Xiuyu saw Yan Qingge's slightly embarrassed expression, and his heart was a little sour.

It's all because he is not good and didn't protect her well that he made her work so hard. He couldn't help but recall the scene when he was about to resign from the Criminal Department just now.

His brother also received a holy decree, and in order not to make it difficult for Yan Xiuyu, he left all the four staff members who had been with him for many years and asked them to assist Yan Xiuyu. Moreover, Yan Xiuyu had walked with him in the Criminal Department for a period of time before, as long as he listened to the staff in everything, looked more and spoke less, and was cautious in his words and deeds, he could also hone it after a long time.

But how could he be willing to be entangled in these mundane things, like a Mengtong, learning bit by bit from the beginning, being pulled by complicated trivial matters and unable to get out of the yamen, and unable to stay with Qingge.

He already owes her too much, even if his brother paved the way for him so that he would not fall into the trap of the prince, but would be able to find a new way, he chose to give up.

He was unmoved by the repeated admonitions of his staff, and even looked at him like a fool.

In this world, there are always some heroes who do not want to be famous, not for profit, but only for a clear conscience, and live between heaven and earth for their own tenderness.
