Chu Qingyan clenched his hand subconsciously.
Xiao Xu felt the strength of the small hand in his hand, and couldn't help lowering his head to ask with his eyes.
But she saw that her eyes were filled with the afterglow of the sunset, soft and warm.
"It doesn't matter, I will wait with you in the future. If one person is too lonely, two people can talk."
Xiao Xu was slightly startled, then raised his hand and put it on her head. The blue silk under his hand was as soft as satin. He just caressed quietly without saying a word.
It was rare for Chu Qingyan to not open her mouth. She quietly looked at the hall door in front of her, but suddenly heard the sound of the hall door being pulled open.
Then I saw a young man wearing a pure white round flower silk round neck robe, being escorted out of the palace gate by the palace servants.
Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran, who is in the palace, has exquisite and gorgeous brocade clothes, which is different from the simple and extravagant outside the palace.
Xiao Ran obviously saw the people outside the hall at a glance, his strict little face suddenly burst into a smile, and he walked over quickly, only to see the two hands clasped together, and the elder brother placing his hand on Chu When he leaned on his head, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He had never experienced this feeling before, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.
At this time, Eunuch Cao also went out of the palace gate, bowed to the two people who had been waiting for a long time, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has a request."
Xiao Xu nodded to the fourth brother who was approaching, and Chu Qingyan raised a heart because of Emperor Xixuan's summons, so the two of them didn't notice that something was wrong with Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran turned around and watched the two walk into the palace side by side. It wasn't until the door of the palace was closed that he regained his senses, and clenched his fists in a self-sacrificing way. What happened to him just now
Entering the palace, Chu Qingyan looked around secretly. A man-height gilded bamboo-jointed silver incense burner leaned against the corner with curling incense, the four sheep square statues were placed on the table, the Changxin palace lantern was hanging high, and the meticulously polished jade horn cup was in the palace lantern. Under the light of the light, it glows with a gentle luster, like a beautiful handicraft, no matter which corner it is, it shows a noble force.
"See Imperial Father." Xiao Xu knelt down with Chu Qingyan.
"See Your Majesty." She respectfully said beside him.
"Wait?" A voice came from the front.
Having said that, Chu Qingyan did not hear the slightest apology from his words.
When she looked up, she saw a man wearing a golden crown with curly hair. He was wearing a bright yellow shirt with large sleeves and a yellow sleeveless, cross-collared, dark tunic. The neckline and sleeves were decorated with gold embroidery, and the shoulders on both sides were embroidered with dragon patterns. , just sitting on the dragon chair like this, majestic and dignified.
Chu Qingyan took a closer look, and the appearance of Emperor Xixuan came into view, with a high nose bridge, thick ears, a burly body, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, the appearance of an emperor was beyond words.
"It's okay."
While secretly looking at it, Chu Qingyan heard the person beside him reply in a flat tone.
"Is this the girl from the Chu family?" Emperor Xixuan turned to look at Chu Qingyan who slowly got up, and raised his brows slightly.
"Yes." Xiao Xu replied.
"Raise your head and let me see." Emperor Xixuan ordered Chu Qingyan.
Chu Qingyan obeyed and replied "Yes!" and then raised her head.
Emperor Xixuan had read countless people, and when he saw Chu Qingyan's beautiful brows, Begonia's rhythm, given time, it would definitely be Hua Yanyue's appearance, he couldn't help frowning, but when he thought of her humble identity, she showed her face again, and said insincerely, "Not bad. Yes, your grandfather has a unique vision and chose a good daughter-in-law for you."
Chu Qingyan twitched the corners of her mouth, this high-ranking person really can talk, the emperor has never even seen her, how can he be called unique, isn't this open-eyed and nonsense
"Many thanks to the grandfather and father for their love." Xiao Xu replied calmly.
"Although Qingyan is young, you have to take care of her. Don't just take care of yourself. You are wielding knives and swords all day long, and you don't know what you are doing." Emperor Xixuan said casually.
Chu Qingyan couldn't help but want to sneer, although this Emperor Xixuan said that he wanted Xiao Xu to take care of himself, he was burying him inside and out. She didn't understand which eye of Emperor Xixuan saw that Xiao Xu was busy? Are you being called here and there by your old man every day? She was a little angry for Xiao Xu, but her identity was there, what was right was right, and what was wrong was also right.
Xiao Xu's eyes darkened, "My son knows."
After Xiao Xu finished the lesson, Emperor Xixuan turned to Chu Qingyan.
"I heard that Ran'er is having a good time with you recently?"
Chu Qingyan didn't take precautions against Emperor Xixuan's question, she was a little stunned, but she quickly got on the line, and immediately replied, "The fourth prince is very approachable and gets along quite well with the people in the royal palace."
Only at this moment did Emperor Xixuan look directly at Chu Qingyan, and he actually heard the meaning of his words.
Emperor Xixuan didn't answer Chu Qingyan, but looked at Xiao Xu, "Your fourth brother has been busy with his homework recently. If he has nothing to do, don't let him play with you. If you delay your studies, you will lose more than you gain."
Chu Qingyan was a little furious. Which eye of your old man saw the big ice cube and made your precious fourth prince come to the palace? It's clear that he's always in love, right? Don't reverse right and wrong, black and white, okay? You don't please the younger generation like this, okay
Chu Qingyan was a little suspicious that the old guy didn't want to see her at all, but wanted to take the opportunity to beat her and Big Ice Cube.
"Erchen will bring your words." Xiao Xu replied in a straight-forward manner.
Emperor Xixuan choked, knowing that he was about to beat tonight, so he held back his anger and did not continue.
Then the two of them answered questions one after another.
Chu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, the way the father and son get along is not as good as that of a small family. Emperor Xixuan looked lukewarm, while Xiao Xu replied in a businesslike manner.
Is this the love of the royal family? But just now, didn't she hear Xiao Ran and Emperor Xixuan's laughter from time to time outside the hall? Could it be that Xiao Xu lost his favor because of his disfigurement as rumored
However, Emperor Xixuan quickly turned his attention to the affairs of the government, and the two discussed the matter of Qiu Shi.
Chu Qingyan's eyes fell on the two of them. If she hadn't known that they were father and son, she might have thought that they were just a relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Chu Qingyan quietly became a beautiful girl for half an hour.
In the end, Emperor Xixuan's eyes fell on the two of them with cold and sharp eyes.
"Your mother has never seen Qingyan before, so take her to see her."
As soon as Emperor Xixuan's words fell, Chu Qingyan saw Xiao Xu flatten the corners of her lips inaudibly, and she suddenly had a bad feeling towards the Empress Liang, who only heard of her name but did not know who she was.
After leaving the palace, Chu Qingyan raised her head and looked at the person beside her with some hesitation.
"Big ice cube, will your mother dislike me?"
She knew that Empress Liang came from a family of Zuo Xiangguan, and she should have great expectations for her son's wife.
"Don't bother." Xiao Xu said coldly.
Eh, that means you don't like it, and you still don't like it very much
Chu Qingyan suddenly had a bad feeling about the meeting.
