Unexpectedly, more than ten years have passed, his cousin is getting better and better-looking, and his body is surprisingly tall, wearing a red official robe and standing tall, which is more than twice as good-looking as Xiao Chuji.

"You...... Are you doing well in the state of Chu? He sent a condolence to the gods.

Xiao Yan didn't appreciate it, and sat down on the circle chair with a flick of his robe, "What do you have to do with it." ”

"I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, but you and I are a lot stranger."

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and I have nothing to do with you."

Pei Jiuzhi was puzzled, "You are in such a hurry to clear up the relationship, do you want to commit treason?" ”

"Country? Pei Jiuzhi, the country of Chu is my country. ”

I only heard Pei Jiuzhi sneer: "It's up to you, in short, no one can change the kinship, isn't it the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Xiao Yan's voice was sensible, and his tone was extremely heavy.

"If you are another prince of the Jin Kingdom, I will let you not get out of this Xiao Mansion today."

Pei Jiuzhi naturally kept his mouth shut, he knew that Xiao Yan had been lying in the Chu State for so many years, and if he could get to this point, he must have the ability to do so, if he didn't know how to lift, I am afraid that he might not be able to get out of this Xiao Mansion.

He said lightly: "About half a year ago, the jade book next to you came back with a message, saying that you have a different kind of affection for the little emperor of Chu State. Now that half a year has passed, my aunt feels that you are getting more and more out of the control of the Jin Kingdom, and often opposes her. However, she said that since you have feelings for the emperor of Chu, she will not stop her, and if she takes Chu in the future, she will give the throne and the emperor's hands, and I hope you will not live up to her painstaking cultivation. ”

"Painstaking cultivation," Xiao Yan paused word by word, and said: "I don't know when she cultivated me, this huge intelligence network of Chu State was laid down by me Xiao Yan, from a poor little insect in Tingzhou step by step to today's position, is it also her painstaking cultivation?" Pei Jiuzhi, she is now in control of the court, and you, the eagle dog, are in a hurry to curry favor and pretend. ”

"You!"

"How?"

Xiao Yan looked at him with a pair of Ruifeng eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"She's your queen mother after all, how can you say that about her?"

"She only has my good brother in her eyes, what am I worth? She's just trying to borrow my power to pave the way for her precious son. ”

This is a good point, the queen she really wants Xiao Chuji to ascend the throne and become the emperor, but Xiao Haochi is also her son, if she takes the state of Chu, how can she treat him badly?

Unless the person in front of him has ambition that goes far beyond that.

He was helpless and said, "That's it, sooner or later, you will know about your aunt's good intentions." ”

Oh, good intentions......

I'm afraid that even he doesn't believe it when he says this.

After Pei Jiuzhi walked around the wall, he went back to the study, holding the Buddhist scriptures given by Meng Qing in his hand and studying them carefully.

Zhong Xuan came in through the long pavilion and closed the rhombic door.

"Lord, Pei Gongzi is gone."

"Well, send someone to keep an eye on him, and Xiao Chuji."

"The second prince is ......"

"How about him?"

Zhong Xuan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say."

He had to say: "The second prince came to ask the lord for your marriage on the order of his mother, but he still asked for the princess of Xincheng, do you want to stop it?" After all, Lord, you ...... to the emperor."

Xiao Yan flipped through the scriptures and said, "What does it matter to me whether I am friendly or not?" ”

"But the lord you are the eldest prince, if the princess of Xincheng becomes your princess, what will the emperor do?"

He lifted his eyes, and his eyes were full of indifference.

"Xiao Haochi marries the princess, what does it have to do with me Xiao Yan?"

"The Lord says so."

Zhong Xuan knew that he didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, but in the future, his destination would still be the Jin Kingdom, and if he married the princess of the new city, he would inevitably be used by the queen.

If Meng Qing knew that Xiao Yan's true identity was the prince of the Jin Kingdom, I am afraid that the sky would be turned upside down.

……

Following.

Today is the New Year, and the hundred officials are resting at home, and Meng Qing also asked the officials of Honglu Temple to entertain the envoys from the Jin Kingdom.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yan entered the palace to accompany him.

Instead of staying in the Xiao Mansion, he wanted to stay by Meng Qing's side and accompany her.

Meng Qing looked at the folds, and secretly glanced at Xiao Yan from time to time, she was going to Ci'an Palace to accompany the Queen Mother today, who knew that Xiao Yan was coming, and she was still like a dog skin plaster and didn't leave.

She also had to work overtime to read the recitals, but he thought she was diligent and loved the people, so he sat aside and read the scriptures quietly.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he said: "Taifu, aren't you going back to the house for the New Year?" ”

"There was no one in the house, so the ministers came into the palace to accompany the emperor."

“…… Actually, I don't need you to accompany me. ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyes and leaned his hand on the table, which made him a little more majestic.

He said bitterly: "Is the emperor going to drive Weichen away?" ”

Good boy! This......

She didn't mean that, it's just that she wants to accompany the Queen Mother, Xiao Yan is here, how can she go?

Meng Qing could only grit his teeth and swallow in his stomach, and said with a smile: "How come, I wish Taifu would accompany me." ”

In the imperial palace of Yujing City, the sky and the city are white, and the fog makes it impossible to see the distant scenery clearly.

She suddenly wanted to leave the palace and walked away.

"Taifu, I want to leave the palace."

Xiao Yan twisted his eyebrows, "Out of the palace?" It's not proper, there are a group of gentlings in Yujing City now, if they know that you are out of the palace, I am afraid that it will be chaos. ”

After hearing this, Meng Qing lowered his head in disappointment, "It's the same." ”

Xiao Yan looked at her, the little girl was like a wilted rose, drooping her ears, extremely pitiful.

He couldn't bear to say, "The minister will protect you." ”

Protect her?

Xiao Yan means that she can leave the palace, and he will protect her!

Meng Qing suddenly came to the spirit, and Liu Ye's eyes were crystal clear and full of anticipation: "Can I leave the palace?" So when are we going to leave the palace? ”

"The night in Yujing City is the most lively, and we should leave the palace at dusk."

"Dusk? What if I can't catch the key to the palace gate? ”

"In the courtier's house."

Stay at his house......

Meng Qing also lived in his house for a day or two, but she was still a little panicked when he said it so blatantly.

Xiao Yan also noticed her strangeness.

"If the emperor is unwilling, it is okay to return to the palace earlier."

"Yes!"

Meng Qing hurriedly said.

She didn't want to go back to the palace so early, she hadn't visited the streets and alleys of Yujing yet.

Xiao Yan showed a triumphant smile at this time.

The Spring Festival in Yujing is always covered with a layer of winter snow, the snow is like frost, and the cold wind blowing from Shuozhou whistles by, blowing on the girl's young white cheeks, piercing and cold.

Meng Qing took Luan to Ci'an Palace in the afternoon, accompanied Gu Qingyun for lunch, talked for a while, and then returned to Xinuan Pavilion.

There was a charcoal fire burning in the cabinet, and it wasn't too cold.

As soon as she came back, she asked Lingyu to find her a men's clothes to change into.

Xiao Yan waited in the main hall, reading the scriptures and playing with the Buddha beads.

After the girl was changed, she came out of the inner hall, and she walked with Xiao Yan's steps seriously.

"Ahem......"
