"Big ice cubes, don't secretly drink boring wine alone in the future. Wine is for fun, not for sorrow."
She solemnly explained.
Xiao Xu stroked her head and nodded.
To him or not, it doesn't really matter to him.
But he knew that the little guy didn't like it, and he promised to take her back to Jiangnan, but he didn't want his father and mother to be so determined to let him go back to the capital.
Breaking his promise is light. The important thing is that he has many uncertainties in his heart about going to Beijing. He is worried that he will not be able to control the situation, and that he will not be able to let the two of them retreat by then.
At this time, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes fixed on the person in front of him, "Ayan, the court does not know that Chu Yan is you, you go back to Jiangnan first, then if the father asks you, I will find a reason Stop it, wait for me in Jiangnan, and I will go back to you after I finish dealing with Kyoto."
When Chu Qingyan heard this, she was unhappy, "No, I will go with you wherever you go, and you are not allowed to throw me away."
Xiao Xu looked down, "Ayan, listen to me once."
She shook her head and resolutely denied his suggestion, "No, who knows what kind of dragon pool and tiger's den the capital is this time, I can't let you go alone, share the blessings and share the burdens, this can't be changed!"
For the sake of this, she didn't care about anything, and directly pierced the window paper that had never been broken between the two.
Everyone knows that the establishment of the reserve is an urgent matter for the imperial court. If the big ice cube is far away from the capital, it may not be affected, but at this critical juncture, the imperial court called him back. Bad, she didn't want to think about it.
Xiao Xu looked at her blankly after hearing this, "Ayan—"
"It's okay big ice cube, I'll walk with you in the wind and rain." Chu Qingyan stretched out her hand to hold his fingers, raised her eyes and smiled.
He subconsciously clenched her fingers tightly.
"Okay, but you can't go back to Beijing as Chu Yan."
She understood this, so she nodded immediately.
When the two made it clear, they decided the day to return to Beijing.
At this time, the Nancang Army had already retreated from Xixuan.
On this day, Chu Qingyan watched from afar as the army left in a mighty way, with a distant gaze.
The afternoon sun was particularly vicious, and just standing still, I was already sweating.
"Master, Your Highness, they have gone far." Xu Yi stood behind her and reminded, worrying that his master would be poisoned by this hot sun, it would be bad.
Only then did Chu Qingyan withdraw her gaze, and then said to the people behind her, "Let's go around Xunyang Road, and then go to Kyoto."
Only Chu Yan follows Xiao Xu as his right-hand man, but Chu Qingyan should be in Liancheng, so if she wants to go back to Beijing, she must take the road from Liancheng back to Beijing to avoid being discovered by those who have a heart, so she uses this as a way of doing things. article.
Therefore, before returning to Beijing, she and Da Bingcui need to have a brief farewell.
And the big ice cube has already made arrangements. At this time, the people pretending to be her have already set off from Liancheng. At that time, when she joins them, she can go directly to Kyoto.
She put on her hat, jumped on the horse, and then led Xiao Qi on the road with light equipment.
Xiao Ran, who was far away in the capital, was restless all day when he heard the news that they were going to return to the capital, chanting in the hall.
When Concubine Yue learned that her son missed Xiao Xu and Chu Qingyan incomparably, her whole face was very ugly.
"It's been four or five years, but why is Ran'er still obsessed with them?" The voice was a little cold.
The maid Yutu in front of Concubine Yue couldn't help but said, "I heard that His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been sending people out of the palace hall about the news of Miss Chu Jiu."
"Chu Qingyan? It's been so long, but Ran'er hasn't forgotten about this little bitch!" Concubine Yue supported her forehead. She remembered that a long time ago, Ran'er had learned to talk back to her for this little bitch. These are not very good. The memory made her face even more ugly.
"His Royal Highness had been with her for a short time before, maybe it was a young playmate, and His Highness attached great importance to friendship and righteousness, so he would miss her a little bit. It's been so many years." Seeing that his mother-in-law was annoyed, Yutu immediately excused Xiao Ran.
After hearing this, Concubine Yue's expression softened a little, but her eyes were still deep.
"Ran'er has already reached the age where he can get married, so he can't let him waste his energy on people who don't matter. If it wasn't for Xiao Xu to stop using marriage to strengthen his power, Ben Gong would have gotten rid of Chu Qingyan long ago. , and also understand Ran'er's heart. With Chu Qingyan present, it is equivalent to cutting off Xiao Xu's foreign relatives, after all, the Chu family is just a shabby little family that can't make it to the top."
"What Niangniang said is that Her Highness has also reached the age of marriage, when the time comes, Niangniang and Her Majesty can choose a satisfactory prince and concubine for Her Highness." Yutu smiled and complimented.
Only then did Concubine Yue's face improve.
However, Xiao Xu's return to the capital is a big threat. She has to unite with the ministers of the court as soon as possible, and let them all stand on Ran'er's side.
She thought that during this period of time, she must have a good discussion with her senior brother about the next road.
Ever since I received the news that my prince had returned to Beijing, the Prince Ying's mansion had swept away the quietness of the past, and began to clean up in a lively manner, with bright colors being arranged.
All the people in the government are very busy. Scrub scrubbing, moving flowers, hanging lanterns, I don't see so many people on weekdays, but now I can see busy figures everywhere.
"Sister Hongyi, we have hoeed all the flowers and plants, what else do we need to do?" A little girl ran into the yard and asked crisply.
On the steps, stood a woman wearing a red and pink tulle, with a hosta in a bun and a little makeup on her face.
She is the master of this backyard, Hongyi.
She stood there handsomely, and after hearing the servant's request, she thought for a moment, and then said, "Go and take out the Jinxiuping and Lanyunzhuosong flower pots in the warehouse."
"Yes." The little girl jumped away immediately.
Hongyi moved her gaze into the distance, and her eyes were filled with joy that could not be hidden. The lord, he was finally coming back. But when she thought of Chu Qingyan who came back with him, her eyes turned cold.
At this time, a pretty voice came over, "Sister Hongyi, did you ask the buyer to buy those ingredients for me?"
When Hong Yi heard the words, she immediately restrained her expression, then turned her head to look at the person who came from outside the corridor.
Huang Yi.
"I already bought it, and it will be delivered in two days. Don't worry." Hong Yi responded with a smile.
"With your words, I'm relieved." Huang Yi walked in front of her and breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel that the prince and the little princess are coming back, everyone is alive, and the entire palace will no longer be lifeless!"
Huang Yi smiled and looked around.
The three words "Little Princess" made Hong Yi's eyes cool slightly, and then she chuckled and echoed, "Yes, the palace is finally welcoming its master again."
