Ye Bei lowered his head and bent down, carefully following behind Fan Liye.

Where would he have thought that His Royal Highness the dignified little prince would personally come to the door to find this Lord Yuan, who was not a person in front of His Highness.

Approaching the door of the guest room where Yuan Xi was staying, Ye Bei said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the little one is going to ask Lord Yuan to come out and pick up the car." ”

Fan Liye waved his hand and said: "Don't be so troublesome, when I came to the palace last time, I met him, just go to the door." ”

Ye Bei had an idea, and shouted in a sharp voice: "His Royal Highness the Prince has arrived~"

Hearing Ye Bei's voice, Yuan Xi, who walked to the door, opened the door, just in time to see Fan Liye standing still in front of the door.

Ye Bei saw that Yuan Xi didn't give Fan Liye a salute, so he hurriedly said: "Lord Yuan, this is His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yuan Xi naturally didn't forget this little prince who had compared archery with him, he just forgot to salute.

Or rather, he still did not have the habit of saluting those who were elevated by their status.

He respected the heavens, the earth, his parents, his teachers, and the king.

In Yuan Xi's opinion, this little prince is not among the people he respects.

Fortunately, the last time Lu Yiping's bitter words had an effect, and after listening to Ye Bei's reminder, Yuan Xi bowed to Fan Liye and said, "Yuan Xi has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Fan Liye said with a smile: "When this son heard that you were coming, he was in a hurry to come to you!"

Yuan Xi didn't feel that he had any friendship with this highness.

He was stunned for a moment and asked, "What is Your Highness looking for me?"

Seeing Yuan Xi standing at the door, Ye Bei, who was behind Fan Liye, was busy glancing at Yuan Xi.

Fan Liye put his hands behind his back and asked, "Do you plan to let this son just stand at the door and talk to you?"

Yuan Xi turned to the side, stretched out his hand and said, "It was my negligence, Your Highness, please come in!"

After speaking, Yuan Xi said to Ye Bei again: "Please Brother Ye help me make a pot of tea for His Highness!"

Ye Bei replied: "Lord Yuan is polite, the little one will go!"

After entering the house and finding a chair to sit down casually, Fan Liye heard the conversation between Yuan Xi and Ye Bei, so he said with a smile: "Yuan Xi, you are very polite to the little eunuch in the palace, and you are even called a brother." ”

Yuan Xi turned around and walked over and said to Fan Liye: "Your Highness, the last time I came to the palace, it was this Ye Bei who led me the way, and I can be regarded as familiar with him, so I am worthy of his brother." ”

Fan Liye tapped his index finger on the tea table, and said with a smile: "You are a person who misses old love, speaking of which, this son and you are also old acquaintances, so why don't you be commensurate with this son's brother?"

Yuan Xi sat down on the other side of the tea table, looked at Fan Liye and said, "Your Highness is the prince of the world, Yuan Xi is just a small commander in the army, how dare you make such a mistake!"

Fan Liye said with a smile: "In the eyes of that little eunuch, aren't you Yuan Xi also a high-ranking Yuan lord? Since you can call him a brother, this son can naturally call you Yuan Xi a brother." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head and said, "Your Highness laughed with me." ”

At this time, Ye Beiduan tea entered, and after pouring tea for Fan Liye and Yuan Xi respectively, he took a few steps backwards with the tray, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Fan Liye.

"Your name is Ye Bei, right?"

Ye Bei lowered his head and replied: "If you go back to Your Highness, the real name of the little one before entering the palace is Ye Bei, and now the Lord of the Mink Temple is called the little Xiaobeizi." ”

Fan Liye glanced at Yuan Xi, and then asked Ye Bei: "Xiao Beizi, the prince of this world asked you, this Yuan Lord calls you Brother Ye Bei, what do you think in your heart?"

Hearing Fan Liye ask himself this, Ye Bei didn't dare to look up at Yuan Xi, his legs were weak and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, the little one and Lord Yuan are just meeting for the second time today, the last time Lord Yuan came to the palace, it was the little one who was responsible for guiding the way, Lord Yuan and the villain said a few polite words, calling the little one a brother, the little one is just a eunuch, and I don't dare to really have any thoughts in my heart." ”

Yuan Xi frowned slightly.

Fan Liye smiled: "What are you doing here, this son has no intention of interrogating you, you go down!"

Ye Bei bowed his head and left, closing the door.

Fan Liye turned his head to look at Yuan Xi and said: "Yuan Xi, look, you treat him politely, but he doesn't dare to think about anything, in the eyes of this son, you should be an eagle soaring in the sky, why bother looking at the little reptile on the ground?"

Yuan Xi was noncommittal to Fan Liye's words.

Because there is no need, if you talk too much, you may even provoke the displeasure of His Royal Highness the high-ranking prince, and cause trouble for Lu Yiping again.

Yuan Xi turned his head to look at Fan Liye and said with a smile: "It's His Highness who looks down on me, Yuan Xi is ashamed, I don't know what the palace has to say when he comes here to find me in person?"

Fan Liye took a sip of tea.

This kid doesn't seem to know each other.

Could it be that his dignified prince is not as good as a little eunuch?

Or does this person feel that he is a little son and is not worthy of befriending him, and deliberately embarrass himself?

Thinking of this, Fan Liye was a little unhappy, and his face was slightly gloomy.

Yuan Xi saw that Fan Liye didn't make a sound, his expression changed slightly, he sighed secretly in his heart, stood up and said to Fan Liye: "Your Highness has something to order!"

Seeing Yuan Xi get up and salute himself, Fan Liye took a sip of tea slowly, raised his head and smiled at Yuan Xi and said: "Commander Yuan doesn't need to be so polite, I'm just a prince of the king, and I can't give orders to you according to the rules." ”

Yuan Xi let out an "oh" and sat back down.

Picking up the teacup, he was also drinking tea there slowly.

This son is really strange.

Fan Liye was stunned for a moment, then sat down to drink tea? Uncle Lu, where did you find this baby? Could it be that you don't understand the world at all?

Remembering that the last time he was in the palace, Yuan Xi was also like this, Fan Liye's heart suddenly felt better, Yuan Xi was like this, he was not necessarily targeting himself.

Fan Liye was a little looking forward to the return of his eldest brother, and he even wanted to introduce this young hero to his eldest brother.

A few days ago, my father praised my eldest brother a few times.

Fan Liye knew that if nothing else, the position of the king of Shu in the future must be sat by the eldest brother, and he Fan Liye had no chance at all.

But who can guarantee that there will be no accidents?

Fan Liye hid his thoughts to death.

Dajin Shangwen, then he will practice martial arts, what he wants to do is the son who does not learn and has no skills in the eyes of his father.

Unexpectedly, since the beginning of the past few years, my father began to dislike the eldest brother for being too weak, and there was less blood on his body.

But he likes to fight and kill since he was a child, and he can get more praise from his father.

But Fan Liye understood in his heart that it was not that he was good enough, but that his father's requirements for him were not so high, and he only needed to be a good father's son.

And the eldest brother has not yet reached what his father thinks the crown prince should be.

The eldest brother was sent to Wei Shuai, served in the army, and married Wei Shuai's granddaughter as the princess, and his father's various arrangements are showing that the future king of Bazhou will be his Fan Jiangong.

And he Fan Jiangong, but he has never liked his younger brother who is not a fellow mother.

Fan Liye wants to leave a way for himself, he doesn't want to be a person who eats and waits for death in a fief given by his eldest brother in the future.

Fan Liye set his sights on Pingnan City.

Because Lu Yiping has a daughter, Lu Guanju.

Fan Liye always remembered in his heart that there was a little girl who was more than two years younger than him, and she cried after a few palms.

At that time, he felt that Lu Guanju was really good-looking.

It's a pity that after that, he never saw Lu Guanju again.

The King of Shu didn't care too much about Fan Liye's marriage, because in his eyes, Fan Liye was still a child. In the past two years, it has been his mother who has been marrying Fan Liye.

Fan Liye found all kinds of reasons to shirk it, and then he inadvertently mentioned the little girl a few years ago, which was remembered by his mother, and the King of Shu knew that his youngest son wanted to avenge the "revenge of one palm".

The reason why Fan Liye didn't dare to say it clearly was because he was afraid that the king of Shu would be too careful.

Fortunately, the King of Shu felt that it would be good if Fan Liye could marry Lu Guanju.

However, this kind of thing, he, as the king, is not easy to say, so he has to say something to Lu Yiping.

This matter cannot be forced.

What the King of Shu and Fan Liye thought in their hearts were naturally not the same thing, the King of Shu was not in a hurry, but he Fan Liye was a little anxious.

After knowing that Jia Nanfeng was Lu Yiping's uncle, there was one more topic between Fan Liye and his named master.

A few days later, Jia Nanfeng gave Fan Liye a painting, and after seeing this painting, Fan Liye was a little distraught.

This girl looks so good!

Fan Liye asked Jia Nanfeng, where did this painting come from?

Naturally, this painting was sent by Kan Huazi.

Jia Nanfeng made up a lie, saying that he was familiar with a certain master who was good at painting in Nanli Academy in Pingnan City, and heard that the prince was fond of General Lu's only daughter, so he asked the master to paint one.

Fan Liye was happy when he saw the painting, but he didn't think much about it, and there were many loopholes in Jia Nanfeng's words.

Today, Fan Liye came to Yuan Xi to inquire about Lu Guanju.

The room was a little quiet, so quiet that only the sound of the two drinking tea could be heard.

After drinking all the tea, Yuan Xi picked up the teapot and added some tea to himself, and saw that Fan Liye's teacup was empty, so he took Fan Liye's teacup, added some tea, and pushed it over.

Taking the teacup, Fan Liye coughed lightly and said to Yuan Xi: "Yuan Xi, this son will not go around the bend with you, I came here today to ask you about someone." ”

Yuan Xi raised his eyes and asked, "Who?"

Fan Liye poked his head over and said in a low voice: "Lu Guanju!"

Yuan Xi chuckled in his heart, and sure enough.

He asked quietly, "I wonder what His Highness wants to ask the eldest lady?"

Fan Liye asked quietly, "Yuan Xi, do you have a chance to meet her?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "The eldest lady often goes to the army, and I have been ordered to escort the eldest lady back home." ”

Fan Liye's eyes lit up, "How is it? How does Guan Guan look?"

Yuan Xi pretended to be embarrassed and said, "How can I be embarrassed to talk about the eldest lady behind my back? Let the general know that I will be punished." ”

Fan Liye coughed lightly and said: "Huh~ You and I are not saying bad things about Guan Guan behind my back, you don't know, I and Sister Guan Guan can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, I asked you about Sister Guan Guan, there is nothing wrong with it, besides, I won't say it to Uncle Lu." ”

Between these men, when they talk about women, it seems that those identities and status are not important, at this moment, in the eyes of Fan Liye, Yuan Xi is his comrade-in-arms who won Lu Guanju.

He didn't know that the "comrade-in-arms" in front of him had already gritted his teeth in his heart.

What a sister Guan Guan and Uncle Lu.

Yuan Xi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your Highness, since you have said so, then I will not hide it, our eldest lady is naturally good-looking, very good-looking!"

When Fan Liye heard this, he thought about it, took out the painting from his arms, pushed the teacup aside, unfolded the painting and put it on the table, and said to Yuan Xi: "Brother Yuan Xi, come and see, how about this painting?"

Yuan Xi looked at it and couldn't help asking, "Where did this painting come from, Your Highness?"

——————————————————

Seeing that Lu Yiping and Yuan Xi arrived at the palace, Ning Kai turned over from the roof and went down.

Pushing the door into the house, Ning Kai said to Jia Nanfeng, who was playing music there: "Master, Yuan Xi has arrived at the palace. ”

Jia Nanfeng, who only used a box of white seeds to score, slowly put Yunzi into the box, looked at Ning Kai and said, "He is finally here, we should also go." ”

Ning Kai was puzzled: "Master, why are we leaving?"

Jia Nanfeng said lightly: "It's here, so naturally I have to leave." ”

Ning Kai thought for a while and said, "Master, wouldn't it be a better choice if we stayed?"

Jia Nanfeng glanced at Ning Yan and said, "What a better choice?" Jin'er, if you have the heart to stay, Master won't stop you, but you won't regret it in the future." ”

Ning Kai asked, "Master, do you know something?"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said: "It's not like that, it's just what you think in your heart, not what the teacher wants, the eldest husband should make meritorious contributions, this sentence is right, with Feng Yuan here, maybe you will make a big difference." ”

Ning Kai was silent for a moment, knelt down to Jia Nanfeng, and kowtowed three times: "Master's grace of art, Ning Kai has no teeth and never forgets." ”

Jia Nanfeng smiled and picked up Ning Kai, and said earnestly: "I hope you will not live up to what you have learned." ”

Ning Kai's thoughts, Jia Nanfeng can naturally understand.

After seeing the prosperity of the city, drinking jade liquid elixir, and eating delicious delicacies, how many people are willing to turn around and return to the mountains to live a life of coarse tea and light rice, and have no desires.

Especially seeing that fellow senior brothers Feng Yuan and Lu Yiping were already in high positions, how could Ning Kai have no thoughts in his heart.

In fact, Ning Kai had another thought in his heart.

Sitting down on the other side of the table, Ning Kai asked, "Master, I don't know something, why does that Mr. Painting have a portrait of Lu Guanju on his body? Could it be that he has planned this a long time ago?"

Jia Nanfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Probably not, we only knew about this from Xiao Shizi's mouth, he is unlikely to be a prophet, as for why he has a portrait of Lu Guanju on his body, according to what the teacher has seen, it should be that he has drawn the target people, and it happened that Xiao Shizi is fond of Lu Guanju, and this painting came in handy." ”

Ning Kai was puzzled and said, "The disciple is still puzzled, even if he gives the painting to the little prince Lu Guanju, what does this have to do with what we are planning?"

Jia Nanfeng shook his head and said: "I don't know about this matter, Ji'er, we just need to finish this small game, and what other plans he has after that, none of them have anything to do with the old man, and I don't want to know." ”

Ning Kai bowed his head and remained silent.

Yuan Bingde had a headache and rubbed his forehead.

Yuan Chengzhi, the son who was riding with him, asked in a low voice, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Bingde shook his head and said, "It's nothing, my father is just a little tired." ”

Yuan Chengzhi poured a glass of water for Yuan Bingde, handed it over and said, "Father, drink some water, maybe you can relieve your fatigue." ”

Yuan Bingde took the cup and smiled at his son.

After taking a sip of water, Yuan Bingde said to Yuan Chengzhi: "Do you miss your mother a little?"

Yuan Chengzhi glanced at Yuan Bingde, lowered his head and did not speak.

Yuan Bingde smiled lightly: "Just think about it, what's so embarrassing, don't say you want to, even my father wants to." ”

Yuan Chengzhi leaned closer to Yuan Bingde and asked in a low voice, "Father, why are we in such a hurry to leave? ”

Yuan Bingde gently rubbed Yuan Chengzhi's head and said: "We have been out for too long, there is something important in Yangzhou, we can't delay, your mother has not returned to Luoyue City for many years, let her stay more time and accompany the Queen Mother more." When she wants to go back to Yangzhou, her father will send someone to take her back. ”

Yuan Chengzhi let out a "hmm", lowered his head and stopped talking, and his mood was a little low.

Since he was a child, he has never left his mother's side for so long.

Knowing that his son missed his mother, Yuan Bingde patted him on the shoulder.

After being silent for a while, Yuan Chengzhi raised his head and said to Yuan Bingde: "Father, in the past few days in the palace, the child has had a bad time!"

Yuan Bingde frowned, "Zhi'er, what's wrong? I was wronged in the palace, why haven't I heard you mention it?"

Yuan Chengzhi whispered: "Father, in fact, there is not much grievance, but the child thinks that my grandmother doesn't like me, and my uncle doesn't like me, and even the emperor's cousin looks at me coldly." ”

Yuan Bingde's eyelids twitched slightly, if it weren't for Sima Ruolan's insistence on taking Yuan Chengzhi into the palace, how could his son be so blinded.

He took Yuan Chengzhi's hand and said, "Zhi'er, maybe it's because you haven't seen them before, so they will be so unfamiliar with you, just see them a few more times in the future." ”

Yuan Chengzhi didn't continue, only when he had seen that kind of gaze with his own eyes did he know that the meaning contained in that gaze was definitely not a sense of alienation, but a kind of hatred and killing intent.

What Yuan Bingde is worried about is that more than a day has passed, and the shadow has not yet appeared.

He wanted to know, what did Huo Xingwei say to the shadow?

The carriage stopped.

Yuan Bingde lifted the window and asked, "Why stop?"

Hou Mink Temple, who had served Yuan Bingde for many years, responded outside the carriage: "If you go back to the king, Lord Xiangguo will send someone to send an urgent report." ”

Yuan Bingde was shocked, could it be that the national teacher attacked his father in the court?

"Bring it here!"

When Zhan Xin saw it, Yuan Bingde's eyes widened, he would never have thought that it would be such a result.

There are not many words in the letter,

"The national teacher is no more, and great things can be done!"

It is Yuan Shixin's handwritten letter.

Yuan Bingde slowly folded the letter, put it in his sleeve, and said to Hou Mink Temple, who was waiting outside: "Okay, continue to set off." ”

Passing through Jianye City, Yuan Bingde, the king of the side, rested in the city for a night, and he was a little restless and too lazy to see the guards and city lords of Jianye City, so he stayed in the post house.

The post house in Jianye City is very large.

Late at night, the candle flame dances.

Yuan Bingde took out Yuan Shixin's letter, read it several times, and burned it.

The national teacher is no more, what is no more?

The door was pushed open, and it was seen that the outfit was the person of the inn.

Yuan Bingde was just about to scold, was Hou Mink Temple asleep? How could this person be allowed to push the door in so directly?

The man shook his head at Yuan Bingde.

The figure flashed, and Sui Xing had already stood in front of Yuan Bingde, bowed his head and said, "Shadow, I've seen the king!"

——————————————————

Mao Fang straightened his chest, paced square steps, walked out of the Jin Wei Martial Arts Pavilion, turned around and said to Cao Renwei: "Pavilion Master Cao, I hope that the Pavilion Master will give me an answer as soon as possible about what you said today." ”

Cao Renwei arched his hand and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

Mao Fang nodded and said, "Then the master of the Cao Pavilion stays, and Mao will leave!"

After getting into the carriage, Mao Fang found that there was a letter in the car, which read "Opened by Lord Di himself"

There was a chicken feather stuck to the letter.

Mao Fang, who was originally going to buy some supplements for Zhang Bihe, said to the coachman: "Go home quickly!"

He didn't care who sent the letter or how it got to the wagon.

All he knew was that the letter was to be delivered to the steward as soon as possible.
