Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Thousand Glasses of Wine for a Confidant
Seeing this, the female official hurriedly stepped forward to take the portrait from Yan Wuji's hand, said thank you, and continued to give it to the empress.
The empress looked at it and said, "Bring paper, pen and ink."
Female Officer Guo was ready early in the morning and hurriedly presented it.
Just as the empress was about to put pen to paper, Yan Wujian suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute."
Yan Wujian stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."
"Something."
"May I ask Your Majesty, the man in the portrait is the future husband of the crown prince?"
"Not bad."
The empress glanced at the portrait and there was no problem.
Yan Wujian hesitated for a moment: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, the minister happened to see this man all the way, and most importantly, he had two children by his side, and it looked like a pair of his children."
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sixteen years old, and he has never been married, so I don't know ......."
Yan Wuyi followed behind: "Maybe it's because people are similar and I don't know."
"Oh? There is such a thing."
The empress stopped when she wanted to put down the pen, and she was quite surprised.
"In this way, it may involve the suspicion that Xiahou Qian concealed his personal marriage situation, Lady Guo, let go of the engagement in advance, and go down to investigate."
The maid on the other side sent Yan Wujian and Yan Wuyi away: "The two of you have been tired of traveling and driving hard, please follow me to the post house to rest."
"Okay."
Yan Wujian and Yan Wuyi left under the guidance of the maid.
Lady Guo hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the slave maid will go and let people find out."
"Hmm." The empress groaned, thoughtful.
"Yan Yi's two sons are not bad, ordinary people only know that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, more things are better than less things, they dare to speak out, if only the courtiers could have this courage."
"Your Majesty, Yan Wujian is indeed the pillar of the country in the future, he has won the top three results in three consecutive state examinations, and in a few years, as long as he is not crazy or sick, he will enter Beijing as an official, and he is an official, which is already very high."
"Actually took the state exam three times in a row? But the brothers look very young."
The empress was slightly surprised, just now I saw that these two people were only sixteen or seventeen-year-old boys.
"It's very young, Yan Wuyi is the elder brother, seventeen years old this year, Yan Wuyi is the younger brother, only sixteen years old."
"Seventeen years old, such a big boy Yan Yi didn't start preparing for his marriage?"
"I heard that Zhang Luo had done it, but Prince Yan cherished this son very much, and he had to make his own decisions about the marriage, but Yan Wujian had a very high vision, and none of the girls who came to say goodbye could not look down on him, so the marriage was undecided for the time being."
The empress replied casually and did not continue to ask.
Hua Luo didn't know about the changes yet, but she was worried all day about why the empress hadn't finalized her marriage.
Just when she was worried, Zhan Xing brought a great piece of good news: "Ah Luo Aluo, you don't have to worry about how to get Yan Gongzi out every day, I have good news here, absolutely good news, do you want to know."
"Of course, some good news."
Hua Luo looked at Zhan Xing.
"Your Majesty ordered that Yan Gongzi be released."
"Really?" This news shocked Hua Luo, "Why did the queen mother suddenly release my father."
Zhan Xing's voice lowered and said to Hua Luo, "I heard that Your Majesty went to talk to Yan Gongzi last night."
"At night? Going for a heart-to-heart talk? You're sure it's just a heart-to-heart talk." Hua Luo asked rhetorically.
Zhan Xing crossed his arms: "Since you understand everything, why bother asking."
"Understood."
Hua Luo answered.
"Now you don't expect Your Majesty to finalize your marriage."
Hua Luo shook her head, "My father has been released, what are you looking forward to?"
"Then you really want to use the knot pill you asked the Dan master to make? I don't want to experience it
The feeling of being pregnant and having a baby."
"Of course I have to use it, after all, it is the Dan Master who spent a lot of money to ask for, and the materials I am looking for, since using the Yuzi Pill can alleviate the pain, why should I experience that feeling, is it really as Lan Ruofeng and his mother said, life is incomplete without children? If you are blessed, the sky will thunder."
"You're amazing."
Zhanxing gave a thumbs up to Hua Luo.
The two brothers from Yunzhou were walking in the garden in the palace, Yan Wuyi looked left and right, as if he had discovered a new continent: "This place is really beautiful, I have never seen such a big garden, there are rare and exotic plants everywhere, brother, let's take a look here, I have never seen this grass before."
Yan Wujian glanced at his younger brother and said to the maid leading the way in front, "We want to stop here for a while, and then we will leave the palace on our own, please go back to your life first."
The maid saluted and left.
Yan Wuyi picked down a leaf and said to Yan Wuji, "Brother, look why this leaf is green and green."
"I don't know, it's rare, take one back for specimens."
Yan Wuyi took the leaf and put it in the bag.
At this time, a smell of wine came, Yan Wujian took a deep breath, but couldn't help but say the name of the wine: "Moutai."
Then, another layer of wine wafted through.
"Fenjiu."
"Not bad."
At this moment, an abrupt voice came from the side.
Yan Nanxing stood up from the flowers on the other side, and after a closer look, it turned out that there was a stone table on the other side, and there were several pots of wine on the table.
Yan Wujian and Yan Wuyi realized that there were still people next to them, but they didn't see them for a while.
Yan Wujian hurriedly surrendered his hand: "May I ask your Excellency."
"My name is Yan Nanxing."
"That's really a coincidence, my surname is Yan, my name is Yan Wuji, this is my younger brother Yan Wuyi."
"Yan Wuxian ......"
Yan Nanxing repeated these three words: "Why have I never seen you before?"
Hand-to-hand combat.
Yan Nanxing looked up and down, don't look at Yan Wufeng's feminine temperament, his figure is still quite material, and he has a body of tendon meat, without a trace of excess fat.
He punched Yan Wujian in the face, Yan Wujian leaned back, dodged the blow, and the curtain on his face slapped Yan Nanxing's arm.
After that, Yiyan Wuwu had a sweeping leg, and Yan Nanxing's simple heart escaped.
After about a hundred rounds of fighting, Yan Nanxing waved his hand: "No, I can't fight."
Yan Wujian put on his clothes again, and bowed his hand slightly: "Agreed."
Then he walked over and patted Yan Wuyi's face, but there was no response.
Yan Wuqian simply splashed the tea on the table on Yan Wuji's face.
"It's raining!"
Yan Wuyi shouted and sat up from his seat, looking confused.
"What's raining, gone."
Yan Wujian pulled Yan Wuyi up, nodded slightly towards Yan Nanxing, and the two went back.
Yan Nanxing's steps were slightly swaying towards his residence, and along the way, he met a palace man who was concerned and asked, "Young Master Yan, what's wrong with you, you need a slave to help you back."
"No, I don't." Yan Nanxing decisively refused.
When he returned, the empress was already waiting for him.
Yan Nanxing hadn't approached yet, and a smoky smell of wine came to his face.
"Where have you been, drink so much wine, go and make a pot of sobering tea for Yan Gongzi."
"I'm fine." Yan Nanxing sat down, his tone quite calm.
The empress told Yan Nanxing about Xiahou Qian.
Who knew that Yan Nanxing heard that the empress planned to let Xiahou Qian be Hua Luo's husband, so he said decisively: "Xiahou Qian can't do it, I've seen him."
"Why not."
"The man is strong and beautiful, he can't help but have thin arms and legs, he is a little white face, and he doesn't necessarily have any ability, it is estimated that if he doesn't have Luo'er, he will be nothing."
The empress disagreed with his statement: "People can't look good, Xiahou Qian is still very capable, and he doesn't necessarily have nothing without the prince."
Yan Nanxing looked at the empress: "Recently, a person named Yan Wujian came to the vassal kingdom."
Although there were many princes who came in the past two days, the empress still had an impression of Yan Wuji: "Yes, you have seen him."
"I happened to meet it."
"Yan Wujian is also feminine, but he is very burly and has an extraordinary bearing, this is what can be alone, I think if you want to find a husband for Luo'er, you should consider such a person."
The next day, Xiahou Qian was summoned by the empress alone again, and the empress directly said to the point: "Xiahou Qian, I ask you, you have to answer truthfully, have you ever been married before."
When Xiahou Qian heard this question, he caught a glimpse of the empress's serious expression, and knew what the empress already knew.
