Looking at Xiang Mingxuan's expression, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.

Xiang Mingxuan is really Xiang Mingxuan, he finally didn't misunderstand him. Even in front of him, he can still show his displeasure without being humble or arrogant. Such people are the least likely to be bought.

"Of course not."

"Then Your Majesty just said that......"

"When I was young and vigorous, although the Xiang family was involved in the rebellion of the six uncles, they did not really participate, but they were angry because of the anger of the six uncles. When I think about it now, I always feel indebted to the Xiang family. The emperor looked at Xiang Mingxuan and sighed heavily.

"Your Majesty, you are serious." He bowed his head to Mingxuan and saluted.

If he didn't know the stoic nature of the emperor in front of him, and what he did to the former prince and King Yan, then I'm afraid he really believed that he felt a little guilty about the Xiang family back then. Thinking of this, the corners of Xiang Mingxuan's mouth couldn't help but hook up a subtle sneer. If his mother was not the daughter of the Xiang family, if he Xiang Mingxuan was not the deputy commander of the forbidden army today, and if he didn't find out that the current crown prince was no longer under his control, would he still say this?

Xiang Mingxuan's thoughts, but the emperor was not aware of them, he thought that this person was still something he could grasp, so he continued, "You can have today's achievements Your mother is really indispensable, in this way, I will crown your mother as a third-grade lady, and it can be regarded as a little reward for her to cultivate such a champion as you for the Great Yue Dynasty." ”

After listening to the emperor's words, Xiang Mingxuan raised his head, his eyes were a little surprised, and he seemed to be unable to come back to his senses for a while.

Zhang Shichang, who was next to him, said to the emperor with a smile, "Your Majesty, when you look at your lordship, you are probably so happy that you have even forgotten to thank you." ”

At this time, Xiang Mingxuan seemed to come back to his senses, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Weichen thanked His Majesty for his grace on behalf of his mother." ”

"Get up." The emperor waved his hand at Ming Xuan with satisfaction, motioning for him to get up.

Xiang Mingxuan came out of the Chongde Palace, and as soon as he walked far, a person walked towards him.

"Wechen has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Xiang Mingxuan stood sideways to the side and saluted towards Chu Yan.

Chu Yanzhi smiled, walked to Xiang Mingxuan's side and stood still, "Look at Lord Xiang's appearance, it seems that he just came out of the Chongde Palace?" ”

"Yes." Xiang Mingxuan bowed his head and replied.

"Oh, then I don't know what my father and emperor are going to the Chongde Hall for?" Chu Yanzhi asked with a smile.

Xiang Mingxuan frowned, raised his head and looked at Chu Yanzhi.

Chu Yan smiled, "If it's inconvenient to say it to adults, forget it, this palace is just a casual ask." ”

Although his mouth was light and light, there was a hint of intriguing depth in his dark eyes.

Xiang Mingxuan looked at Chu Yanzhi's expression, pondered for a while, and then said, "There is nothing inconvenient to say, Your Majesty called Weichen over to talk about the rebellion of the six kings back then, and said that the punishment for the Xiang family back then was too severe." ”

"So?" The corners of Chu Yanzhi's mouth hooked, and he looked at Xiang Mingxuan with a smile.

After a while, the holy decree was issued, so there was no need to hide it from Chu Yanzhi.

What's more, Xiang Mingxuan didn't think about hiding it from Chu Yanzhi.

"Your Majesty decreed that the vassal's mother be a third-grade lady." Xiang Mingxuan met Chu Yanzhi's slightly meaningful gaze, and said without evasion.

"That's really going to congratulate you." Chu Yanzhi raised his hand slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened a little.

Sure enough, his father was deliberately trying to entrap Xiang Mingxuan, so next, he should start to empty the power in Gu An's hands.

"Don't dare." Xiang Mingxuan raised his hand and saluted Chu Yanzhi again.

Chu Yanzhi smiled, raised his eyes and looked ahead, "When are you going to hold a banquet for Lord Xiang?" At that time, if the palace is free, it is better to go to the adult's house to ask for a glass of water and wine. But ......" Chu Yan's last note dragged on, and his long and narrow eyes swept towards Ming Xuan, "If Lord Xiang is not welcome, then the palace will not be boring." ”

As soon as these words came out, even if Xiang Mingxuan had no intention of setting up a banquet, he had to make another plan, after all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had spoken, if he didn't have a banquet, wouldn't he really respond to the sentence in Chu Yanzhi's mouth that was boring.

"Naturally, Weichen will be the first to send the invitation to the Prince's Mansion." Xiang Mingxuan bowed his head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Then the main palace is waiting for an invitation to the adults." Chu Yanzhi smiled slightly at Ming Xuan, and then raised his feet and left.

Xiang Mingxuan raised his head and glanced at Chu Yanzhi's departing back.

In that direction, it was clearly going to Yongchun Palace.

His thoughts about Princess Yan were really revealed, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to hide it.

Also, now even the emperor has to be a little jealous of him, what he wants to do, how to do it, how to do it, and how to get someone's beak. A few months ago, the minister who wrote a letter bluntly saying that the prince's behavior was inappropriate, was not secretly suppressed by the prince, and then he couldn't bear to automatically write a letter to ask for his resignation and return to his hometown?

Thinking of this, a sneer flashed across the corner of Xiang Mingxuan's lips, and then he turned around and strode towards the palace gate.

The bright red couplets of Yongchun Palace have been pasted, but this bright red has not added a trace of coldness to this deserted palace.

"Your Highness." Along the way, as long as they saw Chu Yanzhi's palace maids and eunuchs, they saluted one after another.

Chu Yanzhi's face was expressionless, and he entered the house directly, but there was no one in the house.

"The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Hearing the voice, Hongyu came out and blessed Chu Yanzhi.

Chu Yanzhi's gaze swept Hongyu lightly, "Xiwei?" ”

If it was changed to purple smoke, hearing Chu Yanzhi call Xiao Xiwei's girlfriend name like this, even if he didn't say it, he would always show some displeasure on his face, but Hongyu didn't say anything on his face, as if Chu Yanzhi was very suitable to call him so.

"The princess went to pick up the concubine, this will, presumably in Yikun Palace."

Xiao Xiwei was mostly surrounded by purple smoke and blue clouds, plus Hongyu had a calm temperament and never said much, so even if Chu Yanzhi saw her a few times by chance, he didn't pay attention to it, but now seeing her so calm, she didn't show any cowardice on her face, but she could vaguely see a little bit of Xiao Xiwei's shadow, and she couldn't help but feel a little interested in her.

"You're not angry? Bengong remembers that the girl next to her is always hostile to Bengong? Why are you different? "The way of Chu Yan.

Hongyu still hung her head, and she didn't even raise the corners of her eyes, "The slave doesn't dare." ”

"Don't dare?" Chu Yanzhi frowned.

Hongyu raised his head and looked at Chu Yanzhi calmly, "Does Your Highness want to drink tea?" ”

Chu Yanzhi looked at the pair of eyes in front of him, gentle and clear, like a clear sky after a rain, without a trace of impurities.

In these eyes, there is indeed no anger or resentment.

He suddenly remembered his mother who had just been sent to Chao'an Temple.

She also had a pair of such eyes, neither resentful nor angry, as calm as a pool of stagnant water.

It was only later, when he was snatched away from her by Shengsheng, that he watched the despair boiling in her eyes...... Finally, until dry.

In these eyes, Chu Yan fell into a memory.

"Your Highness." Hongyu frowned slightly.

Chu Yanzhi's forbearant gaze faintly made her feel a little inappropriate. She didn't understand, so decent, why he looked at her like that.

Sensing his gaffe, Chu Yanzhi withdrew his gaze, walked to the chair and sat down, and said lightly, "Pour tea." ”

Hongyu blessed his body, and then reached out and picked up the teacup and poured a cup of tea for Chu Yanzhi. After doing all this, she bowed her head and stepped aside respectfully.

Chu Yan looked at her while drinking tea, and finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”

Hongyu looked up at Chu Yanzhi, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly again.

"Why don't you hate Hongu anymore? Do you really just dare? Chu Yanzhi asked again.

"Then what did Your Highness do to make the slave and maid hate you?" Hongyu asked with a calm face.

Chu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and looked at Hongyu with his eyes, as if he wanted to see something from her eyes, "Don't you all think that King Yan was killed by this palace?" ”

"Then King Yan was really killed by His Royal Highness?" Hongyu didn't panic at all because of Chu Yanzhi's words, but followed his words and turned him into an army.

Chu Yan was stunned, then raised his eyebrows, and said, "If the palace said yes?" ”

Red Rain's eyes flashed, but he quickly regained his composure," His Highness said with a smile. ”

"Jokes?" Chu Yanzhi smiled coldly, "Do you really think that this palace is joking?" ”

Hongyu's eyes sank, and when it came to this, she really didn't need to pretend to be anything. Thinking of this, she raised her head suddenly, and looked at Chu Yanzhi with a cold gaze, "That little prince?" Was the little prince also killed by His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

Chu Yan's eyes narrowed, and an indescribable undercurrent surged in his inky eyes, "If this palace says no, will you believe it......"

When he said this, there was a slight hoarseness in his voice.

Hongyu was stunned, the corners of his mouth pursed hard, and he looked at Chu Yanzhi and didn't answer.

Chu Yanzhi immediately smiled, with a bit of gloom in his smile, "Of course you don't believe it." It's just that since the palace is willing to admit even the matter of King Yan, why should he deny the matter of King Ning? Chu Yanzhi said, and an urgency suddenly welled up in his ink-colored eyes, as if he was eager to find someone to talk to, and wanted that person to believe his confession, "This palace is sincere to Xiwei, do you believe this?" ”

Looking at Chu Yanzhi's eager and sincere eyes, Hongyu suddenly felt a feeling in her heart that even she didn't know, she lowered her eyes, opened her lips, and raised her voice very softly, "Your Highness should tell the princess this." ”

Looking at Hongyu's evasive eyes, Chu Yanzhi chuckled, "Even you don't believe it, how can she believe it......"

Hongyu still hung his head and didn't speak.

"Before I met her, I didn't love anyone, and I even firmly believed that I wouldn't fall in love with anyone in the future, but all this was broken by her...... I gave her a chance again and again, was rejected by her again and again, and my self-esteem was trampled on by him again and again, but I just couldn't help but think about her, I just couldn't control my desire to have her, and I couldn't take back my heart. But, the funny thing is...... She only has a strong tame to me, don't I deserve love? Say, 'Am I not worthy of love?' Chu Yanzhi got up suddenly, clasped Hongyu's shoulders with both hands, and his ink-colored eyes were full of forbearance and grief.

At that moment, Hongyu only felt that she had fallen into a huge whirlpool, and after a while, she came back to her senses, and just wanted to open her mouth to shout, "His Royal Highness the Prince......" When she wanted to leave, a black shadow pressed down......
