The four surnames of Guanzhong, Yuan and Xie live in Dongcheng, Wei and Pei live in Xicheng, and Fushen Courtyard is ancient.

Yuan Yan is the youngest son of Yuan Kuang, the Duke of Yueguo, with two brothers and one elder sister, who ranks eleventh in the clan, but is the default successor of the Yuan family.

The courtyard where he lives is casual, there is no breeze and moon, and there is no splendid pearl and jade, but there is a sense of wealth at hand, showing the heritage of the Yuan family.

Yuan Yan sat in the courtyard, with a long box of rosewood beside him, which was covered with thick brocade, but the things had already been taken out by him, and he was carefully wiping them against the rare winter sun.

Early this morning, after he was angrily reprimanded by His Majesty the Emperor for "getting out", he went home and did not go to Taichang Temple.

This is just the beginning, and when His Majesty the Emperor finishes this fire, the real revenge will roll in.

Seeing that the object in his hand was polished and shiny, he smiled with satisfaction, and his eyes showed a look of tender affection.

At this time, the footsteps of the servant quietly entered, calmly saluted, and said, "The princess of Qin is here!" ”

His face changed, and he quickly stuffed the object in his hand into the wooden box and closed the lid forcefully: "Please!" ”

As soon as Lin Jiaruo saw him, he asked, "Why are you doing this?" ”

Yuan Yan was slightly stunned, and then saw her little face hidden under the cloak, her face was blue, her eyes were red, just a glance could make people feel pain from the bone marrow.

"Your Majesty blames you?" There was a gleam in his eyes.

Lin Shisheng loved this daughter in the past, he saw it all, but he didn't expect that as soon as the prince of the Pei family was born, the threat to the prince had not yet been revealed, but he hurt her first.

Vainly trying to get behind? Don't!

Her pale lips trembled slightly, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

Yuan Yan smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, I dare to do this, naturally calculate the consequences, the Yuan family is already in my hands, and it will not be affected by this, as for the saint and fame, it is not in my eyes-" He never thought of being a famous minister for a hundred years.

"It's just-" His eyes flashed slightly, as if he felt a little guilty when he looked at her, "In this way, I am afraid that I will live up to His Highness's cultivation, after this incident, I am afraid that I will be deposed, and the candidates of Chang'an Mansion, Your Highness will have to reconsider......"

Lin Jiaruo looked at him with wide eyes, as if she didn't expect him to say these words, which surprised her and made her unacceptable for a while, and she was silent for a long time before she asked in disbelief: "Yuan Yan, don't you think you're too much for a woman like this?" ”

Yuan Yan's face changed instantly, staring at her for a while, and suddenly chuckled, as if the snow on the eaves was overwhelmed and falling into the dust.

He suddenly turned his back, walked back to the place where he was sitting, unconsciously stroked the rosewood box on the table with his left hand, rubbed the uneven pattern on the lid of the wooden box with his fingertips, and slowly spoke: "Your Highness probably forgot again, right?" I, Yuan Yan, don't understand the kindness of a woman! ”

"It's not a woman's kindness!" Lin Jiaruo was enraged by his tone, and strode forward, "You don't think, you don't think it's really like this-even though Pei Jinyu is a threat, but this, like this-"

Pei Jinyu's experience, even when she was not sensible in the early years, she felt terrible, especially after meeting Xu Changshou this year, she couldn't even think about it.

Yuan Yan used this incident to attack Pei Jinyu, but she felt angry when she heard it.

"You are a seven-foot man, don't you feel ashamed to deal with a woman like this!" She blurted out in anger.

"Boom-"

He turned abruptly, his wide sleeves brushing off the wooden box on the table.

He strode in front of her, his peach blossom eyes were cloudy, and word by word squeezed out of the root of his clenched teeth: "Lin Jiaruo, do you have a conscience!" ”

Yuan Yan has always been graceful and moderate, and she is also polite to her, and the sudden attack made Lin Jiaruo's heart suddenly startled, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Yuan Yan stood in place and watched her movements, and coldly hooked the corners of his lips: "I am unscrupulous, I am despicable and shameless-Lin Jiaruo, who am I doing this for?" ”

Lin Jiaruo's face was tense: "I know that you are for me and the prince, but the gentleman does something and does not do anything, and no one in the court struggle is much clean, but there must be a limit to unscrupulous means——"

"I'm not a gentleman—" he interrupted her with a smirk, "I just know that Pei Jinyu must not ascend to the back seat!" ”

"Yesterday, my father had already decided not to establish a queen!" A wave of grief and indignation surged into his heart, and Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but roar in a low voice.

Yuan Yan was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "It's not the first time that he has decided not to stand up, so that he can sit back and relax!" ”

"Whose back road are you cutting off!" Lin Jiaruo glared at him angrily, "He was already determined to give in for me, and you did this-"

"Did I make you fall out of favor by doing this?" His eyes were full of mockery, "You want me to teach you how to regain your favor?" ”

Lin Jiaruo took a step back with a snow-white face.

He took advantage of the victory to take a step forward, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and said softly: "It's not okay like this, the girl's house needs to be softer, and the tears can be distressed-" He raised his hand to touch her stubborn and tearful eyes, and after being slapped by her, he smiled softly, "Hurry up and go back to the palace, go to your father, learn from Lin Jiawei, shed a few more tears, take a soft suit, pretend to be sick, naturally someone will pity you-"

"Say no more!" She whispered.

Yuan Yan didn't say anything more, he was silent for a moment, and raised his hand to brush it on her head.

Lin Jiaruo subconsciously tilted his head, wanting to avoid his touch, he froze, suddenly his arm sank, and he took off the hat of her cloak a little roughly.

Lin Jiaruo retreated suddenly, and suddenly his wrist tightened, and the whole person fell forward and crashed into his arms.

He quickly let go of her hand, lifted it, and gently smoothed the messy strands of hair on the top of her head, and then watched her leave his arms with horror in his eyes.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I will enter the palace with you and apologize to Your Majesty for resigning, this matter is done by me alone, he has always loved you, and he will definitely not blame you again!" ”

Anyway, Pei Jinyu can't be the queen anymore, he dared to take this risk, so he was ready to lose his office, but he didn't expect that she would be wronged.

Lin Jiaruo shook his head and said in a low voice: "I have an oath with you, and I am also responsible for what you do...... It's just that you don't do this kind of unrighteousness again, this time...... I will do my best to keep your position as Taichang Shaoqing...... If you can't, just change your seat and sit down—"

"As for between us father and daughter—" she lowered her eyes, "it's none of your ......"

She took a step back and whispered, "That's it, you—don't take an example!" Then he turned around and was about to leave.

The turning movement suddenly stopped halfway, and she looked at the ground in confusion.

Yuan Yan followed her gaze, his eyes changed, and he stepped forward and picked up something on the ground.

He was so emotional just now that the wooden box on the table fell to the ground, and the contents of the box fell to the ground.

Lin Jiaruo watched him pick it up unhurriedly and put it back in the wooden box, and couldn't help but say loudly: "This arrow-"

Yuan Yan closed the lid and glanced at her lightly: "What else does Her Royal Highness the Princess command?" ”

Lin Jiaruo shook his head and turned to leave.

Seeing her figure disappear outside the door, Yuan Yan lowered his head, returned to the table with the box, opened it, took out the arrows in the box, and wiped them again until the dust was gone.

"Fight for favor......," he muttered, stroking the arrow, a wry smile on his lips.
