The palace, the imperial study.
Her Majesty the newly enthroned Empress is busy with state affairs.
Shangguan Yan sat on the chair and looked at the mountains of memorials in front of him, almost one big and two big.
"Is it so tiring to be a monarch... I suddenly regret it..."
Shangguan Yan gritted his teeth and picked up a memorial.
A generation of emperors and courtiers, Zhang Dequan was originally a celebrity in the imperial study, but now Zhang Dequan went to the Taiyi Palace with the Emperor Taishang, and Shangguan Yan promoted a servant named Wu Sixi.
Wu Sixi entered with a bowl of boiled lotus seed soup, smiled and came to Shangguan Yan's side: "Your Majesty, you have already approved an hour's discount, take a break."
Shangguan Yan put the brush on the pen holder and leaned back on the chair tiredly: "I have been approved for an hour, and I haven't seen many cases."
Wu Sixi smiled: "Your Majesty has already approved a lot. Besides, you have just ascended the throne, and the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are pointing at you. You can take care of your dragon body."
Shangguan Yan looked at the lotus seed soup that he handed over, Wu Sixi understood it, removed the booklet in front of her, and placed the lotus seed soup carefully by her hand.
Shangguan Yan scooped a spoonful and was about to drink it when she remembered something and asked, "Have the team to send relatives set off?"
"Let's go." Wu Sixi said, "It should have left Shengdu by now."
Shangguan Yan sighed.
Wu Sixi smiled and hesitated.
Shangguan Yan noticed his strangeness and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Ah..." Wu Si smiled shyly, "The twenty sons who came to pay tribute from the Jin state... are still arranged in the Chuxiu Palace. I don't know how Your Majesty plans to arrange them."
"I've never placed it before..." Shangguan Yan whispered, what is not good for Jin to send, and she has to send twenty beautiful men, what kind of harem does she want to fill? Her son is so old!
She said sternly: "These people may all be spies from Jin State, you can arrange it yourself, don't let them starve to death."
"Yes." Wu Sixi responded with a smile.
He secretly regretted that those men were really very handsome, and since the concubine became the empress, it was reasonable to open the harem.
"Your Majesty, Lord Yanshan asks to see you."
The little eunuch's report came from outside the door.
Shangguan Yan put down the spoon: "Xuan."
Wu Sixi looked at the door and cleared his throat, then raised his voice: "Xuan-Jun Yanshan is visiting—"
Shangguan Yan glanced at him speechlessly.
Wu Sixi turned around and smiled embarrassingly: "This is the first time for slaves and slaves."
It's fun to be able to declare people.
Jun Yanshan entered the imperial study and bowed his hands in a salute, "Your Majesty."
Shangguan Yan asked, "Why did Uncle Huang come here today?"
Yan Shanjun looked around.
"You step back." Shangguan Yan said.
"Yes!" Wu Sixi and the eunuchs and maids in the imperial study retreated respectfully.
When Shangguan Yan saw Jun Yan Shan staring at her bowl, she pushed the bowl over: "Do you want to eat lotus seed soup? I didn't move."
Yan Shanjun came to the desk and sat down, took the lotus seed soup, and took an empty teacup from the side.
He smiled lightly and said, "To be honest, I'm here to bid farewell to Your Majesty today."
Shangguan Yan asked, "Are you leaving again?"
Yan Shanjun smiled slightly and said, "She doesn't have anything to do with me anymore. I want to take Xiaoxue out for a walk."
Shangguan Yan secretly muttered: "One or two are gone..."
Jun Yanshan paused for a while, then said pleasantly: "In addition, I also came to ask Your Majesty to take back my royal status."
Shangguan Yan looked at him strangely: "Why do you want to take it back? I said that you will not be held accountable for your hidden military force."
"It's not for this reason." He lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "I was not originally from the Dayan royal family, but a child born between my mother and the Turks."
"I know." Shangguan Yan said.
She looked at him without blinking an instant. After so many wasted lives, her eyes had long lost the innocence and innocence of youth, but more of the perseverance and perseverance of the superior.
The only constant is that when facing people she trusts enough, she doesn't have any thoughts of beating around the bush.
Yan Shanjun looked away, looked out the window, and sighed helplessly: "Besides, the emperor and I are not half-brothers, the emperor is a child that the mother took from Liu Meiren, and the mother was born that year. After giving birth to a baby girl, Liu Meiren gave birth to a prince. In order to consolidate the throne, the mother and Liu Meiren exchanged flesh and blood for each other. Liu Meiren was blessed and died of illness within a few years. You can rest assured that it was not the poisonous hand of the mother, otherwise the imperial brother would not I will be so filial to my mother.”
Shangguan Yan was surprised: "There is such a thing... Does he know?"
Yan Shanjun looked at her again: "You mean the emperor's brother? He should know that Princess Anle is the mother's mother's flesh and blood."
Shangguanyan recalled: "No wonder he was so close to Aunt Anle, and he made me grow up so I could honor her."
Yanshan Jun said: "The fief of Princess Anle is in Nanjun, which is the most prosperous fief besides your fief."
Shangguan Yan looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you tell me this all of a sudden?"
Jun Yanshan smiled and said: "If you don't tell you, how can you agree to take back my royal status?"
Shangguan Yan said resentfully, "You don't want to be my uncle that much?"
Jun Yanshan spread his hands and sighed: "I was bullied by you since I was a child. It's boring for this uncle to do what he does."
Shangguan Yan whispered: "I didn't mean to... Who made you so unscrupulous... "
"Okay." Yan Shanjun said.
"What's up?" Shangguan Yan was taken aback.
Yan Shanjun put the lotus seed soup back in front of her: "You like to eat lotus seed soup, but you never eat lotus seeds."
Shangguan Yan stared blankly at the lotus seed he picked in the empty cup: "I still have this problem?"
She was very nervous about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never cared about such details. Wu Sixi asked her what she wanted to eat, and she casually said lotus seed soup.
But when the lotus seed soup was presented, she didn't eat it.
It turned out to be disgusting the lotus seeds in it
Jun Yanshan smiled and stood up: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, I'll go first."
Shangguan Yan nodded.
Yan Shanjun turned around and walked out of the imperial study. Everyone went out, and his steps suddenly stopped: "Shangguan Yan, next time we meet again, I will not be your uncle."
…
The team that sent the relatives out of Shengdu mighty.
Xuanyuanqi did not like to ride in a carriage, he rode a horse.
The dust also rides with him.
Father and son rarely enjoy the leisure time after the reunion.
But the grandparents of the Gu family and Tang Yueshan, who originally wanted to ride horses, had to sit in a carriage at this time.
Tang Yueshan had a blue nose and a swollen face, with a large bag on his head, his left arm was wrapped in a bandage and hung around his neck, a pink Page Band-Aid was attached to his face, and a ball of cotton was stuck in his left nostril.
It can be said to be very miserable.
He said aggrievedly: "Didn't I just tell a big truth, see you beat me up... So many people joined hands to bully me one... I don't talk about martial arts... "
Gu Chengfeng snorted coldly: "You deserve it! Hiss—"
As soon as he finished speaking, he gasped in pain.
His situation is not much better than Tang Yueshan.
After his grandfather learned that he was the thief Feishhuang, he repaired him severely, and he was also covered in paint and bandages.
Gu Changqing was different. He was neither beaten nor punished, but his faith collapsed. He sat on the carriage dumbly, like a puppet that lost his soul.
The old marquis glared at the three of them in disgust, and silently covered the gauze on his forehead.
He was also injured. It was too embarrassing. He left the scene in a hurry, but the sole of his foot slipped and fell. He knocked his forehead on the threshold, and his head almost opened on the spot.
In the whole thing, Gu Jiao was the only one who wasn't embarrassed.
She was unaffected by the loss of her horse at all, and she sat leisurely in the carriage, counting the gold that Duke An gave her.
"Are these mine?" She held a small box and looked at the nine small boxes on the floor.
An Guogong smiled fondly: "Well, it's all yours."
Gu Jiao is very happy!
She counted the gold attentively, An Guogong looked at her tenderly, the afternoon sun shone in from the open window, and the carriage was peaceful and beautiful.
…
The road after spring is better than winter.
After a month's long journey, the group finally arrived at the capital of Zhao Kingdom.
This is not just an ordinary marriage, but also the first marriage between the two countries. Xuanyuanqi, An Guogong, and Liaochen are all envoys to Zhaoguo as envoys of the state of Yan.
Their whereabouts along the way were rushed to the palace by the post stations around the country. The emperor of Zhao Kingdom was full of excitement. This was the first visit of the state of Yan.
When the news reached Suzaku Street, Princess Xinyang was practicing calligraphy with Guan Qing in the yard.
Shangguan Qing finally felt the strictness of his mother.
Ten copybooks a day, and no food is allowed until the practice is complete.
Xuanping Hou is teasing his daughter in the yard.
Xiao Yiyi is five months old and just learned to turn over a few days ago. She is lying on the big bamboo bed now, and her father makes her giggle.
"What did you say? The envoys of the State of Yan are here? Then, the people from the Duke's Mansion are also here?" Princess Xinyang looked at the guard who reported to her at the door. She knew that Gu Jiao lived in the Duke's mansion.
The guards cupped their hands: "If you return to the princess, An Guogong and the young master in the house are here, and Shili Hongzhuang is also here."
Princess Xinyang was stunned for a moment: "What young master... Shili Hongzhuang?"
The guard had also just inquired about the news from the inn. He glanced at Marquis Xuanping, who had nothing to do with it, and said bravely, "It is said... that Marquis sent someone to propose marriage to the young master of Duke Ang's mansion, and Mr. Guo agreed to this. I brought my son over to marry the little Marquis. Now... now it's spread all over the capital, saying that the little Marquis wants to marry a man..."
Princess Xinyang looked at Marquis Xuanping, and the brush in her hand snapped: "Xiaoji!!!"
