"Childe, Your Royal Highness invites you to the study to discuss matters."

After resting for the night, and when he got up the next day, Lian Qingjue was glad that his body had not changed worse, otherwise he would not have been able to wait for Qin Sumu to come back.

However, after breakfast, when Lian Qingjue was writing something on the bookcase, he heard Fan Yao's voice.

"Got it."

Slowly put down the pen, carefully put the half-written codex into a box on the table, Lian Qingjue glanced at the polite maid behind Fan Yao, then got up and straightened out the clothes, and then took the cloak handed by Fan Yao.

"If the prince is unwell, why don't you tell the second prince to go another day?"

After all, he didn't worry about his son-in-law's body, Fan Yao persuaded.

"No need, don't forget the purpose of the emperor letting us here, and drag it out any longer......"

Lian Qingjue shook his head, he was not familiar with this Yan Kingdom court, and if he dragged it on, he was afraid that it would be extraneous, in that case, it would be even more difficult to retreat with his whole body.

"Oh."

Although his son-in-law did not finish speaking, the rare solemnity on his son's face made Fan Yao slightly uneasy.

"By the way, yesterday I asked you to send someone to bring a letter back to Caizhi, but you have already gone?"

Unhurriedly fastening the cloak, Lian Qingjue suddenly remembered what he had ordered Fan Yao yesterday, so he asked.

"I've already gone, and it's estimated that I'll be back in a few days."

"That's good."

Lian Qingjue walked to the maid who had been standing quietly beside him with his hands.

"Please, girl, lead the way."

"Lian Gongzi, please."

The maid, that is, Yan Xige's personal attendant, Yuzhu, blessed Lian Qingjue's body, and then walked in front and took Lian Qingjue and the others to Yan Qingge's study.

……

"Your Highness, Gongzi Lian has arrived."

In the study, when Yan Xige and Shangguan Xuanyue were discussing the current situation in the court, they heard the sound of Yuzhu's report, and then saw Lian Qingjue, who was still sickly, walking in.

"Your Highness, Prince Yue."

After seeing the bookcase, Yan Xige and Shangguan Xuanyue sat on a chair side by side, Lian Qingjue's expression remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly to Yan Xige.

"Lian Gongzi, please take a seat."

Seeing that Lian Qingjue's breathing was a little unsteady, Yan Xige quickly got up from behind the bookcase, and personally poured a cup of hot tea and put it on the table next to Lian Qingjue.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Picking up the cup and taking a sip of hot tea, Lian Qingjue looked up and saw Shangguan Yanyue, who was still sitting on the chair, looking at him with a displeased face.

"Is Gongzi Lian unwell today?"

Sitting back on the chair behind the bookcase, Yan Xige asked with concern.

"It's fine."

Smiling slightly, even Qingjue looked away, not bothering to pay attention to Guan Yanyue.

Although he hasn't walked around much in this mansion in the past few days, Fan Yao and Yang Qingwei have already figured out the layout of this mansion, and just now the maid took herself and Fan Yao around this mansion to come to the study room that is only separated by a long corridor from the courtyard where she lives. As a prince, Yan Xige needs his own help, so he will definitely not tell the maid to do such a thing, so it is naturally self-evident who is behind the scenes.

"I don't know if Your Highness wants to come here today, what is it to discuss?"

After resting for a while, feeling that his disordered heartbeat had calmed down a lot, Lian Qingjue asked.

"The palace has long heard of Lian Gongzi's great achievements in the Yu Kingdom, so the palace naturally will not doubt Lian Gongzi's ability."

Yan Yuge looked at Lian Qingjue with appreciation.

"However, presumably Gongzi Lian is not very clear about the situation in the court of my Bo Yanguo, in this case, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to our future actions, so I invited Gongzi to come here today because I want to tell Gongzi about the current situation in the court first. After all, knowing each other and knowing oneself is the only way to act successfully. ”

"Your Highness has a point."

Lian Qingjue nodded.

"Lian Mou listened."

"Gongzi Lian should know that among all the princes, the main hall ranks second, and there is a big prince above-Yan Yusheng, and there are two younger brothers below, Yan Xifan and Yan Xiping. However, the two younger brothers of the palace are not very competitive, all of them are idle and unlearned, only the imperial brother Yan Xisheng is the most narrow-minded, insidious, and extremely ambitious. ”

After a slight pause, Yan Xige saw that Lian Qingjue was listening very seriously, and she was even more satisfied with Lian Qingjue.

"Originally, the palace has been favored by the father since childhood, although the mother of the palace is only in the concubine position, but since the palace began to help the father and the emperor take care of some state affairs as an adult, the father has intentionally or unintentionally revealed that he wants to establish the palace as the prince, and because of this, the royal brother has always regarded the palace as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, he not only repeatedly framed the palace, but also made his mother concubine embarrassed with the palace mother everywhere in the harem."

Thinking of this, Yan Xige couldn't help but feel a little sad, if it weren't for herself, her mother would not have had such a hard time in the harem.

"But according to what Lian Mou learned, this eldest prince is not a concubine, and his mother is just a concubine from the second grade, and His Royal Highness's mother is a virtuous concubine of the second grade, so why ......?"

"Why does his mother dare to embarrass the mother of the palace?"

Although Lian Qingjue hadn't finished speaking, Yan Xige had already understood what he meant.

"Because the mother concubine of this palace is actually not very liked by her father, she will not flatter, she will not be opportunistic, and she has any grievances, except for occasionally complaining to this palace, she has never mentioned half a word to her father."

"Your Highness......"

Obviously feeling Yan Xige's sadness, Shangguan Yanyue, who had been sitting next to him, held his hand tightly, and his eyes were full of worry and distress.

"It's fine."

Turning his head and smiling at Shangguan Xuanyue, Yan Xige calmed down, and then said:

"And although Yan Xisheng's mother concubine is lower than that of the mother concubine of the main palace, she is the most demagogic, otherwise, how could she have jumped from the identity of the daughter of a criminal minister to the harem princess? Moreover, the queen mother has not come out for many years, and Yan Yusheng has been tied to the queen mother again, and with the support of the queen mother, he is even more blind in this court. But how can they hide these small actions from their father? So because of this, although his father still doted on his mother, he never thought of making him the crown prince. ”
