Yan Tang looked at the people present and asked, "Except for a few of us, no one knows about it now?" ”

"That's nature!" Wu Guo said fairly, "This matter is not trivial, how can it be spread outside?" ”

Yan Tang nodded and said, "Then let's enter the palace." ”

……

The emperor came back from the Longevity Palace, sat alone for a long time, and then sent Li Fang to the palace in the north of the town.

Li Fang walked out of the Qianqing Palace, and met the arrival of Jingning Marquis and Yantang.

Everyone greeted each other, but without saying much, they went straight to see the emperor.

The emperor was in a trance, and when he heard that Yan Tang was back, he hesitated with a hint of hesitation, and then heard that there were several nobles who came with him, so he got up with a whole look.

"A thousand hangars stolen?"

Hearing this, his face also sank.

……

Xiao Heng and He Qian went out of Chengtianmen and returned to the palace.

Because the Chu Wangfu is newly renovated, the courtyard is still very new inside and out.

He took advantage of the situation to sit down in front of the carrier hall and twisted a handful of flowers and leaves in his hand.

"Why is the prince sitting here?" Qin Zhi'an walked over.

He looked ahead on his knees, his eyes deep: "Yan Tang is going to propose marriage to the Qi family." And I told my father. ”

"So fast?" Qin Zhi'an was also surprised.

Xiao Heng didn't answer, but said: "I'm not surprised that he proposed to marry, sooner or later." The more he moved, the more it meant that the girl was important to him. But why did you ask his father when you said he was going to propose? Did he know something? ”

Qin Zhi'an held his breath, and after a while, he half-squatted at the bottom of the stairs, thinking, "This shouldn't be." Too few people know about it. If even he knew, the emperor would have nothing to hide.

"Why don't you just puncture this layer of window paper? And if Yan Tang also knew about it, it would be impossible for nothing abnormal to come out. ”

Xiao Heng didn't say anything, he threw the broken leaf in his hand with his eyebrows, and crossed his ten fingers.

Qin Zhi'an thought for a while, and then said: "The prince doesn't have to think too much, according to the opinion of his subordinates, the emperor still loves the prince very much."

"As for this marriage-although I don't know the specific reason, according to Qi Ziyu's attitude, the Qi family may not be so easy to agree.

"Yan Tang wants to commission this family matter, and most of them have to pass five levels and kill six generals. The prince still has time. ”

Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, smiled, and squinted ahead: "Maybe." ”

Qin Zhi'an said: "It's a big deal, please ask the emperor to marry the prince and Miss Qi." ”

"Marriage?" Xiao Heng chuckled: "What's the point of that?" After speaking, he suddenly paused, looked at him and said, "You say, will my father approve of their marriage?" ”

Qin Zhi'an paused. "Why not?"

"You forgot, because that girl has asthma. It is said to be so severe that it may affect marriage and childbearing. It is precisely because of this that the Qi family will indulge her in lawlessness. So he's not necessarily in favor of it. ”

Speaking of this, he laughed and said lightly: "He loves Yantang so much, how can he be happy to see him marry a woman who can't have children as a concubine?" He longs for him to be rich and prosperous, and his children and grandchildren are full. ”

Qin Zhi'an frowned and nodded: "If that's the case, that's fine." This marriage can't be done, and the prince doesn't have to forcibly marry a girl. ”

Xiao Heng was silent and said, "Then how can it be the same?" Even if he can't marry her, he still has her in his heart, maybe because he can't ask for it, it will become even more obsessive. ”

Qin Zhi'an said: "But if the emperor doesn't allow Yan Tang to marry Miss Qi, then he will definitely not allow the prince to marry her......"

"It's different, too." Xiao Heng took another handful of flowers and leaves, and said gloomily: "After so many years, don't you know? Yantang is Yantang, I am me.

"Do you think he cares who I marry? I'm just afraid that in order to make Yan Tang die, he will want me to marry her. ”

Qin Zhi'an said: "This is impossible. ”

Xiao Heng stubbornly stopped talking.

The setting sun stretched his shadow long, as if it was going to pull him into a time long ago.

……

Yan Tang and Jingning Hou were in the Qianqing Palace until twilight.

The emperor asked what had happened, and explained that he immediately went to the Thousand Hangars to secretly check how many things had been lost by taking advantage of the meeting of the five military camps.

At the same time, except for a few of them and the officials at that time, not a word was allowed to get involved, except for the next few days, under the pretext of the assembly, they stayed in the yamen of the Fifth Army to thoroughly investigate the matter, and all actions were carried out as usual.

Therefore, no one knows about this matter.

When Yan Tang returned home, he met Li Fang again at the gate of the palace. Wondered: "Gonggong Li came over to deliver the decree?" ”

Li Fang was also stunned for a moment, and then leaned over and smiled: "I came to find the prince to pass a word on the emperor's order, and I didn't want the prince to be there, so I stopped by to see the concubine." ”

Yan Tang's brows moved slightly: "Yes." ”

Li Fang smiled but did not speak.

After the two said goodbye, Yantang went straight to the concubine's courtyard.

The concubine was fascinated by some of the old things that Yan Yining had used on the table.

"Mother remembers father again?" He sat down beside him.

Concubine Ye exhaled again, picked up one of the spotted fingers, and rubbed it: "With a flick of the fingers, it's been eleven years." In the past ten years, which day don't you want to?

"He's not here, and the rest of his days are wasted."

Yantang silently. Reach out and put it on the back of her hand.

The concubine smiled lightly, patted his hands, and put things away again. Ask him, "Coming back so late?" Earlier, Minzhi and they came to wait for you to teach them kung fu. ”

Yan Tang said: "I'm going to see the emperor." Saying that, he stared at her: "I also told the emperor about getting married, and the emperor seemed to hesitate."

"Mother, why is that? Even if the emperor cares about me for my father's sake, shouldn't he bless me?

"You, as my mother, have agreed, why does the emperor still have an opinion on this? Honorable and noble intermarriage does not violate taboos. ”

The concubine retracted her gaze and said lightly: "It shouldn't be considered an opinion, it's just for your sake." ”

"I'm just a courtier, why do you think so much about me?"

"Because your father and the emperor had a fateful friendship, and your father made great contributions to Dayin."

The concubine got up slowly, walked to the curtain and lit incense, and the figure with her back to this side still looked slender, so that she was a little lonely in a trance.

"Then what should I do with Miao?" Yan Tang's face became more and more bad.

Concubine Ye paused slightly, and turned her head: "Let's take a look first." ”

……

Li Fang went back to the palace and went straight to the inner hall.

The emperor withdrew from the crowd and asked, "What do you say?" ”

"It is said that the two are already in love, and Miss Qi is quite good to the prince. The prince and the girl have been together for a long time, and they are obviously much more cheerful.

He also said that it could be seen that the prince was sincere to the girl, and the matter of the heir, the concubine thought that there might not be no hope.

She quietly went to Qi's house to inquire, and the girl had not had any symptoms since she was harmed by the Du family last year. And in the past year, she has been riding a horse to learn martial arts, and she has never heard of any discomfort. ”
