"Your Majesty, Weiyang Palace ordered someone to send a message, Concubine De Niangniang boiled Laba porridge, please go over and drink porridge when you have time with Yan Wangye!"

"Concubine De sent someone?" The emperor turned his head to Long Jingyan, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Your mother is worried about you these days, and she has been asking me to take you over to greet her." ”

"It's a child, it's not it, it worries my father and mother." Long Jingyan lowered his head filial piety and stood aside obediently.

"I can't blame you for Princess Yan's affairs, but your mother is there, I'm afraid she will feel at ease when she sees you." The emperor turned his head to look at Gonggong Gao, "Who have entered the palace today?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, Princess Rui, Princess An, and Princess Yu have all entered the palace, and after they greet all the mothers, Princess Rui is still waiting in Weiyang Palace with the little princess and Princess Yun, and Princess An is not very well, and she was arranged to return to the house by Concubine De." Gao Gonggong said, "Princess Ping stayed in King Ping's Mansion because of Prince Ping's affairs and didn't come out. As for the eldest princess's mansion, the eldest princess ordered someone to send a few pots of plum into the palace to honor the emperor and the ladies, she was unwell, infected with the wind cold, worried about the infection to the master of the palace, so she did not enter the palace. ”

Long Jingyan heard Wu Wanyi waiting in Weiyang Palace, and her heart suddenly beat a little fast.

The emperor glanced at Long Jingyan, and then waved his hand to Gonggong Gao, "You go down and tell the people of Weiyang Palace that I will take Prince Yan over in a while." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gonggong Gao also heard a lot of rumors about Prince Yan and Princess Yu, and looked at Long Jingyan's expression quietly, and then retreated.

"Yan'er, there have been rumors about the fifth daughter-in-law in the capital recently, I don't know what you think of this matter?" The emperor asked tentatively,

"Huh? What rumors? Long Jingyan pretended to be stupid and said, "Erchen has been very close to Princess Yu recently, haven't you heard any rumors?" ”

"After all, Princess Yu is the daughter-in-law of the fifth child, your brother-in-law, you are not afraid to avoid suspicion when you get along with her?" The emperor looked at Long Jingyan carefully, he wanted to know how Long Jingyan would answer him.

Long Jingyan thought for a while, and then suddenly knelt on the ground, "Enlighten the father, the son.... Sons are not filial! ”

"What did you do?" The emperor's face was a little gloomy, he didn't want his favorite child to fall behind in the matter of children's affection, even if he thought that Long Jingyan's affection was an advantage.

"Father, the princess was originally a side concubine given to the child by the father, although she became the princess by mistake, but before she entered the palace of the emperor, the child treated her as his own side concubine and got along with her." Long Jingyan said a little boldly.

"But that was before she entered the palace of the king of Yu!" The emperor said sternly, "I have already issued a holy decree to approve her identity as the princess, is it possible that you are dissatisfied with my will?" ”

"The father is angry, and the child has no such thoughts." Long Jingyan lowered his head, his heart was a little anxious, his father seemed to be even more angry about this matter than he thought.

"If you don't have this kind of thought, then you should keep a little distance from Princess Yu!" The emperor reprimanded angrily, "Listen to the rumors in the capital now, what do they say about you?" It's hard to refute what you say! ”

"Erchen knows that he is wrong." Long Jingyan hesitated, but still compromised for the time being, and did not say his true thoughts. Now he still has to rely on his father's liking to gain a foothold in the court, and he can't ignore the emperor's thoughts. This is not yet the time when he can do whatever he wants. "The son's inconsiderate behavior has worried his father."

The emperor looked at Long Jingyan's face and let out a long sigh, he had looked at the child since he was a child, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, "Yan'er, my father has always been very strict with you, and that's because I have high expectations for you." I know you're a lover, but you have to use it in the right place. You are the prince of a country, and in the future, even the prince of our Great Xia Kingdom, you will face some major events in the court, how can you ruin your reputation because of the love of some children? ”

Long Jingyan looked up at the emperor in some shock, "..... Father? Although he vaguely felt that his father intended to make himself the crown prince and support himself to the throne, it was just a feeling. This is the first time that the emperor has said so clearly that he will make himself the prince.

"Shocked?" The emperor did not regret telling Long Jingyan his thoughts at all, "These days, I have been letting you accompany me to deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China, and I also want you to grow up quickly, and you can quickly stand alone in the DPRK, can you understand my hard work?" ”

"Father, son.... Erchen...."Long Jingyan was a little speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

"Get up." The emperor straightened Long Jingyan's body, "These days, your views and handling of government affairs are very good, and I am very pleased to see it." So when the rumors about you and Princess Yu came out, I didn't deal with them. I thought that you are not such an ignorant person, how do you know that you are still behind the scenes, quite a posture to make this matter bigger, what are you thinking! ”

"Father.... The retainers like the princess..."For a long time, Long Jingyan squeezed out these words from between his teeth. His father treated him so well, he shouldn't have deceived him.

"That enchantress! I'm going to kill her! The emperor's eyes flashed with cruelty, and he was murderous.

"Father, don't!" Long Jingyan hurriedly knelt down and pleaded, "Father, do you know that the child has been looking for the little girl who stopped the traffickers back then?" Because of her, the son-in-law can hold out until the subordinates find the son-in-law...."

"Of course I remember it!" Seeing that Long Jingyan knelt down again, the emperor frowned, "What does this matter have to do with Princess Yun?" Could it be that she is the little girl back then? ”

"That's right, it's her." Long Jingyan kept nodding, "It's her, the person the child has been looking for, it's her!" ”

"Since she is the little girl you have been looking for, but when Wu Wanqing was mistaken for her and sent to Yanwang's Mansion, why didn't you go directly to Yuwang's Mansion to exchange people back?" The emperor knew that the little girl had a heavy weight in Long Jingyan's heart back then, but he didn't expect her weight to be so heavy that Long Jingyan disregarded Chang Lun. If you let her continue to live, you can't let Yan'er become a faint king?! In his heart, the emperor has silently given Wu Wanyi the death penalty.

"At that time, Erchen didn't know that she was the person Erchen was looking for." Long Jingyan lowered his head, his eyes full of remorse, so he didn't notice the killing intent in the emperor's eyes at all.
