At this time, the objects in the Yufu Hall had been smashed to pieces, and Concubine Li was losing her temper at Xiao Yanjun.
"Isn't he just a young prince who is trying to seize the throne? Why would he dare to lose face to you?"
Xiao Yanjun felt aggrieved. He was already sulking, but he had to coax his mother and concubine here in a gentle voice.
"Your Highness."
The voice of Xiao Yanjun's personal bodyguard, Si Nan, sounded outside the hall.
"Come in."
Si Nan entered the palace and looked at Concubine Li, but he hesitated to speak.
Xiao Yanjun said, "It's okay, just tell me."
"I heard that Lord Xia entered the palace after lunch." Before Si Nan finished speaking, Concubine Li snorted coldly. Asked: "Are you here to apologize?"
Si Nan replied with a complex expression: "It doesn't seem to be the case. Before leaving, the Emperor even rewarded the young Marquis with many things."
"What?"
Li Fei exclaimed.
Xiao Yanjun was also surprised by the emperor's intention. He thought for a moment and said to Concubine Li: "Concubine, don't be angry for now. The emperor seems to be very fond of this young prince. Xu is thinking of his parents' affection. It is not appropriate to turn against him now."
"Then let him humiliate you in vain?"
Concubine Li was unwilling to do so.
"Please let Erchen go back and think carefully before making a decision."
After Xiao Yanjun finished speaking, he resigned, not wanting to comfort Concubine Li anymore.
In fact, Xiao Yanjun has been thinking hard about it since last night and still doesn't understand it now. Why did the young marquis' attitude change so drastically? What happened during this period
He told Si Nan: "Find an opportunity to ask Xiang Xun whether His Highness Seventh Prince has been in secret contact with Lord Xiahou."
Si Nan was ordered to retreat.
Xiao Yanjun walked to the top of the city wall alone and looked into the distance.
The scenery of the Royal Palace is even more magnificent after it has snowed. He squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Haoran Yisi in the distance, and murmured to himself: What went wrong? Last month, didn't he take the initiative to show his kindness to himself and say he was very happy...
At the second watch, in Prince Mo's Mansion, attendant Han Sa was reporting to Xiao Mubai on the relevant matters coming from the Chongqing fiefdom.
After hearing this, Xiao Mubai signaled: "Just keep everything as usual."
"Yes." Han Sa did not retreat after accepting the order.
Xiao Mubai looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Xu Gongzi went to Xiahou Mansion at noon and was rejected."
Han Sa felt that Xu Wenlan had a good relationship with his prince, so he reported it.
"Expected."
Xiao Mubai's tone was calm and his face was indifferent.
"Ninth Princess also went to Xiahou Mansion in the afternoon."
"Oh?" Xiao Mubai's expression fluctuated a little.
"The Ninth Princess has gone in."
"He seems to like Mu Hong very much." Xiao Mubai was slightly moved.
"Yes, the Ninth Princess went there at Shenshi, and did not return to the palace until almost the end of the year. She was very happy when she left the mansion, and she must have had dinner in the mansion."
Xiao Mubai nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Do we still need to keep an eye on Xiahou Mansion?"
"Just keep an eye on her from a distance. Let Han Ling wait outside the palace, and if Mu Hong comes out of the palace, she will protect her secretly."
"yes."
Han Sa took the order. Seeing Xiao Mubai wave his hand again, he retreated.
The night gradually deepened, Xiao Mubai moved to the window and looked at the thick moonlight outside.
The leafless sycamore trees in the yard were covered with shiny ice picks. The evergreen pine and cypress trees in winter and summer are also filled with fluffy pine trees and heavy snowballs. The entire capital became white overnight, so clean that people didn't want to think about those worrying things. However, the Chinese New Year is almost here. His time is running out...
At the third watch of the night, in the Hou Mansion, Xia Chu also leaned against the window and looked at the moonlight.
Under the moonlight, in Yunqi Courtyard, there was a snowman piled in the center of the window facing Xia Chu. Two grape-shaped eyes were looking at him from a distance, which Xiao Muhong had pulled him together.
When Xiao Muhong came to see him in the afternoon, she didn't want to see him. But when he thought of those timid eyes, Xia Chu couldn't refuse. She played with her all afternoon, and ended up having a snowball fight.
She took the guards with her, and Xia Chu took Mo Xiang and the others. At first, I played with her, and then I gradually started to play too. As everyone knows, who is accompanying whom.
After dinner, Xiao Muhong took him and built a snow in the courtyard before he returned to the palace. When I left, I named the snowman Xiaohong...
He hadn't been this relaxed in a long time. In his previous life, he followed Xiao Yanjun after going down the mountain. In the beginning, her nature was still intact, and she was as innocent as Xiao Muhong. But slowly, Xiao Yanjun kept telling her. She was going to be a princess, she had to be dignified and virtuous, she had to stick to the rules, she had to lead by example. Gradually, she became a shell. A body that Xiao Yanjun likes...
Xia Chu looked at the snowman and thought of Lan Yuying again.
Before going down the mountain, he spent every winter with Lan Yuying. After going down the mountain in my previous life, I never returned to Zilan Mountain. It's not that he doesn't miss it, it's that he feels that he has been contaminated by this secular world and cannot go back.
However, this life is different after all. He doesn't know how to be a canary. He has seen the vastness of the sky, appreciated the exotic customs, passed through the bustling world, and crossed the magnificent sea. This country is picturesque, and he wants Meng An to take a look.
