Yan Tang smiled and bowed his head: "The minister respectfully obeys the holy decree." ”

He has a way to take his daughter-in-law back, but in fact, he doesn't need the emperor to come forward, the point of this discussion is simply to let him keep his son, and he can't save this face and let him help.

As a courtier, if you can't see through it, you don't have to mix it up.

The emperor was satisfied: "Then I will go to Qi's house to sit." After saying that, he walked away.

The reason why Xiao Heng came to the palace today was because the prince of Dong'an sent a basket of river fresh two days earlier, so he made an appointment to go to the palace to drink two cups.

I didn't expect to run into his father, and after leaving the palace, the group arrived here to Xing Zhi, and they had nothing to do to watch Xing Shuo, Cheng Minzhi and a few of them play treasures.

Wei Zhen came to invite him: "Our prince has something to discuss with you, please come to the house." ”

Xiao Heng turned his head to look at Xing Zhi and Cheng Huaizhi.

The two laughed and said, "You go first, we'll go back and follow." ”

Xiao Heng still refused to get up, and asked, "What about the emperor?" ”

"The emperor went to the Marquis's Mansion." Wei Zhen pointed in the direction of the Qi family.

Yan Tang had already moved to the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, sat down after Xiao Heng arrived, and poured him a cup of tea with his own hands.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Heng sat down pleasantly.

Yan Tang slowly added water and put the kettle on the small tea stove, looked at him and said, "I heard that you are leaving, there are a few words that don't vomit or be unhappy." ”

Xiao Heng pulled the early plum on the table and twisted it in his hand, squinting at him.

Yan Tang said: "I think about it these days, and I feel that although you saved me in the pit, there is nothing to thank me."

"Tell me about you, you've been targeting me all the time since you first appeared, hiding behind me and watching me being chased by wolves, prying my corner in front of me, trying to break up our husband and wife, and you still complained about the wrong person for a long time, and in the end you didn't even make amends, and you came over to laugh at me-

"When I think about it, I feel that the farther you go, the better, so that my eyes can be cleared and the hatred in my heart can be relieved."

Xiao Heng's face darkened: "What do you mean?" ”

Yan Tang said: "It means that I finally seized the opportunity to avenge the revenge you prying in front of me in the past."

"I've even figured out that no matter where you are in the future, I'll take my daughter-in-law and children to meet you every year, although it's inconvenient to beat you again, but I'll just put you on the fire and roast you slowly, until the day you are charred on the outside and tender on the inside."

Xiao Heng's face darkened: "Sick!" ”

Yan Tang smiled and raised his eyebrows to serve tea.

Xiao Heng stared at him for a long time, and suddenly said, "He asked you to be a lobbyist?" ”

Yan Tang glanced at him: "How do you know?" ”

He sneered again: "Carving insect skills, you also want to hide from me?" He went to Qi's house, you followed and called me over, if I guessed correctly, I'm afraid you two have made an appointment, right? ”

Yan Tang didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly: "Since you have seen through it, then do you stay or not?" ”

Xiao Heng didn't say anything, and turned the cup in his hand all at once.

"You don't want to do anything, but you run to the camp just to avoid him." Yan Tang said, "Since you mind so much, why don't you just tell him to understand?" If you have any grievances or awkwardness, just say it directly. ”

Xiao Heng turned his face away, and turned back after a moment: "You don't hate me?" What are you doing talking to him? ”

"I don't want to interfere either, but it's a holy decree." Yan Tang also snorted lightly, "I'm not a living bodhisattva who doesn't care about the past, I remember all the piles and piles you did in the past." ”

Xiao Heng stared at the lake for a long time, laughed twice, drank half a cup of tea, and said: "I'm not angry, nor do I feel wronged, but I have been away from him for too long, and I don't know how to get close to him as a father."

"He's not the same as someone else's father, he's the emperor, and if I want to be close to him, I have to always pay attention to proportion, because I'm not familiar with him, and I don't know if it will anger him.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, in fact, I really want to be like Ziyu and them, sit down with my father and chat a few words if I have nothing to do, say anything, what I ate today, who I went to see yesterday, and what interesting people and things I met in someone's house before.

"It may not have any political significance, but it is through the kind of casual closeness, like any ordinary and close father and son in the world."

Without waiting for Yan Tang to answer, he raised his gaze again and looked at him casually: "I know that this is very rare for fathers and sons in the royal family, because the rules are there."

"But I don't want to be like this every day, it's just sad that I never had it, and now I seem to have lost the ability to have it."

So even if he understands that there was a reason for the events in the past, Concubine Shen's death is indeed not directly related to Yantang's mother and son, and his father is indeed not favoritism, putting their mother and son in disregard, that unfamiliar relationship is always like a straw, entangled people's feet and makes it impossible to move forward.

"Then you left Beijing because you had nothing to do and simply gave up?" Yantang Road.

He didn't say a word, put the plum branch to the corner of his mouth, and squinted out the window.

……

On the Qi family's side, Marquis Jingning and the emperor have already chatted.

Due to the fact that the emperor has visited the mansions of various generals and heroes a lot recently, the Marquis of Jingning has been able to maintain a normal heart.

"It's rare that the emperor and the king of Chu are in the workshop today, and I will definitely allow the ministers to prepare a banquet and return to Luan today!" Marquis Jing Ning smiled and bowed to ask for an order.

The emperor didn't say good or bad, looked into the room, and said, "Why don't you see the girl?" ”

She didn't know where she was going again. Your Majesty, do you have something to order? ”

"I have nothing to order," said the emperor, "but I just beat the Yan family and saw that Suiyun had lost a lot of weight, and I couldn't bear to look at it." ”

Jing Ninghou was stunned when he heard this: "Really? But yesterday, the minister heard Zi Zhan, who went to the palace to deliver soup and snacks, say that he was in good spirits. ”

"Oh," the emperor said slowly, holding the tea, "Is that dare to be wrong?" ”

Jingninghou: "......"

……

In the water pavilion of the palace, after two rounds of tea, Pang Hui came to ask if he was going to invite the prince and them to come to the banquet.

Yan Tang nodded and said to Xiao Heng: "You can't take a step yourself, let alone go to Luoyang, it's useless to run to the horizon and the cape."

"Since the problem was in those seventeen years of estrangement, why not stay and try to move forward? Stay, at least there's a chance to change.

"Don't tell me, you really don't care."

If you really don't care, why run away?

"Even if you don't know how to be unfamiliar, then you can learn it. I think I didn't know anything about children's love at the beginning, and I made a lot of jokes, and now I don't dare to say how good I did, but at least I have a direction to work towards.

"Why don't you think about it like this, maybe your father is just as worried as you are?"
