"Go back and rest, your next task is to take care of your body, otherwise the father and your mother will be worried."
Xiao Xu looked at him standing stupidly, as if he saw more than ten years ago, pulling his sleeves and curiously asking him about things on the battlefield over and over again. He was childish and could not help but soften his heart.
Xiao Ran heard a warm current in his heart, and he thought that the eldest brother had been disappointed in him from now on.
"My younger brother will definitely take good care of himself and not let you worry." The young face glowed with vigor.
A smile flashed in Xiao Xujian's eyes, and he was about to wave him down.
At this time, Xiao Ran said without fear of death, "Brother Emperor, if the battle is over this time, can the younger brother go to look for her, because the younger brother misses her very much."
The smile in his eyes disappeared suddenly, Xiao Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a light tone, "Let's discuss."
Xiao Ran felt that the temperature in the tent dropped suddenly. He thought that he was injured and his body was weak, and he could not help but strengthen his determination to take care of his body.
Leaving the main tent, Xiao Ran walked slowly to his tent with the help of his subordinates.
At this time, a young man in a red dress walked towards him, with a delicate and handsome appearance. It was obvious that he was young, but his temperament was outstanding, and he was rare and compelling.
Xiao Ran stopped, and the other party also slowed down when he saw him.
The two were only five steps apart.
"Who are you? Why don't you show respect when you see my fourth highness?" The subordinate who supported Xiao Ran snarled angrily.
When he saw that the other party was not wearing any armor or military badges, he seemed to be unofficial and had no job.
Xiao Ran couldn't help frowning when he heard the subordinate's words. He was about to scold, but he saw that the other party had already bowed slightly and saluted.
"See His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, I am in Chu Yan, and I am serving as a messenger next to His Royal Highness King Ying. I have no intention of offending.
Chu Qingyan leaned over and lowered her eyebrows.
From an angle that Xiao Ran and others could not see, she lightly evoked a faint mockery.
Xiao Ran, I didn't expect to see each other for so many years, it's a bit deplorable that we meet in this way.
It was too late for Xiao Ran to stop him. He glared at the subordinate next to him with a pretentious look. The subordinate was originally arrogant, but when he caught the master's eyes, his legs trembled and he immediately lowered his head.
"It turns out that you are a client of the first emperor's brother in Liancheng. I know that the emperor's brother has always used you very much, so you don't need to be too polite." Xiao Ran stepped forward and wanted to help her personally, but Chu Qingyan avoided it, Xiao Ran was stunned. down, but quickly returned to its original state.
Chu Qingyan took a step back casually, then raised her head to look at the person in front of her, with a faint smile on her lips, "Fourth prince has praised me wrongly, I'm just running errands for my Royal Highness."
Yingying jade appearance, eyes like autumn water, and a shallow smile, for some reason, it makes Xiao Ran very pleasing to the eye, humble words, not humble or silent attitude, which is very rare at such an age, Xiao Ran became close.
"Chu Yan, you are too modest. I understand the temperament of my royal brother. If you don't have any ability, you can't stay by his side." When talking about Xiao Xu, Xiao Ran's eyes lit up a little.
Chu Qingyan frowned when she saw the admiration in his eyes. When the two parties were fighting so fiercely, the two masters didn't seem to care. How should people deal with themselves
It seems that the people in the court are a group of troublemakers who are not in a hurry for the emperor and eunuchs!
Although Chu Qingyan didn't answer, Xiao Ran saw the smile on her face, and for some reason, she felt relieved.
The person in front of him stood in front of him like a jade tree, and he felt a hint of familiarity, which reminded him of the willful and cunning girl back then.
"Chu Yan, how is the environment in Liancheng? Will it be hard to live there?"
Chu Qingyan saw that he was seriously injured and a little weak, so he wanted to leave here, but he didn't want him to have a homely mind.
She was a little suspicious, could it be that she saw her identity
However, when she met his sincere eyes, she dispelled this concern.
"When I first arrived, it was a place where chickens didn't lay eggs and birds didn't poop. The people couldn't get enough to eat, and the folk customs were sturdy. There was no peace at all." Chu Qingyan saw that although he was seriously injured, his mental state was still adequate. , he also stayed for a long time and talked with him.
The young man in front of him, with a face like a full moon and lips like a red lotus, is no longer the rampage boy he was four years ago.
Chu Qingyan was very relieved. I wondered if she had automatically brought in the identity of his elder sister-in-law, and she felt more and more looking at the younger generation. So she picked out a few interesting things in Liancheng and told him about it.
"It turns out that it's really a backcountry!" Xiao Ran twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes were a little weird, Chu Qingyan didn't see it clearly, he had returned to normal, and he turned to stare at the ground hesitantly.
Chu Yan felt that the time was almost up, and it was time to go back. When the generals were handing over the files, she guessed that the big ice cubes would be reviewed overnight, so she withdrew at that time and asked the cooks to prepare some food. Put her big ice cubes on her stomach.
But he didn't want to meet Xiao Ran here, and he seemed to be very interested to know what happened in Liancheng.
"Chu Yan."
Chu Qingyan was suddenly called out by him, and she looked at him subconsciously, with an air of hesitation and hesitation, she couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "Your Highness, do you have anything to ask?"
Xiao Ran nodded without denying, then he waved away the subordinates behind him and made them stand far away.
Those subordinates who knew that Chu Yan was Xiao Xu were very worried about leaving the two alone, but under Xiao Ran's cold eyes, they had to retreat.
Chu Qingyan felt that most of Xiao Ran was cheerful, sometimes easygoing and sometimes arrogant, but just now she saw the shadow of a big ice cube on him, the quiet majesty, she laughed in her heart, worthy of being a brother.
At this time, Xiao Ran had already opened his mouth hesitantly.
"Chu Yan, you have been in Liancheng for so long, you should have met a girl named Chu Qingyan, right? Has she lived well in Liancheng in recent years? Did she suffer a lot?"
Chu Qingyan was a little surprised, and didn't expect that this was what he asked, but at this time, Xiao Ran was already looking at her with bright eyes, looking anxious and anxious.
"Under His Highness's protection, she is living a good life. She has never suffered any hardship. She grows flowers and raises small animals every day without any worries." Chu Qingyan said with ignorance of conscience, and turned her eyes away, without looking at Xiao Ran. , so that he didn't see the joy and nostalgia in Xiao Ran's eyes.
"That's good, that's good!" Xiao Ran's brows were happy.
Then he said again, "Chu Yan, I have something to do, can I ask you."
