The former queen's spiritual seat has not yet been enshrined in the Xiao's ancestral temple, but enshrined in the Hall of Longevity, which is closest to the Emperor's Taiji Hall. The two met Xiao Qingyan's younger brother Xiao Qingyu outside the hall.
"Brother, I knew you would be here today, and you brought your sister-in-law with you." Xiao Qingyu's appearance is quite similar to that of Xiao Qingyan, but he is less stable and more lively.
Although Xiao Qingyan didn't ask himself directly, Xu Changan could not ignore him, nodding to Xiao Qingyan and returning: "Hello, Fourth Highness."
He wanted to tease his male sister-in-law, but he didn't get the reaction he wanted. Xiao Qingyu's face was embarrassed, and then he suddenly straightened his face and walked towards Xu Changan, his face almost hitting Xu Changan's face. No matter how calm he was, Xu Changan was also frightened by Xiao Qingyu's sudden movements and retreated a few times. He was about to fall back when his feet stumbled. Xiao Qingyan beside him subconsciously reached out to grab it, but after a moment of hesitation, let his hand He only touched a corner of Xu Changan's clothes, and he let out a muffled groan as he watched the man fall heavily to the ground.
"It's just nonsense! If you have anything to do, just go to my house." Xiao Qingyan's face darkened a bit after only looking at the people on the ground, and he shouted sharply at Xiao Qingyu, and then ignored Xu Changan on the ground. He walked quickly into the hall by himself.
Xu Changan's elbows and... and his thighs were smashed hard. Xiao Qingyan left, and Xiao Qingyu stood beside him and regained the smile on his face just now. Taking a deep breath, Xu Changan slowly got up and staggered towards Xiao Qingyan's figure. He knew that Xiao Qingyan was ruthless towards him, and Xiao Qingyu despised himself, but it didn't matter, since his mother died, the people in this world have imposed on him. He doesn't care about the pain, as long as he can't give up this life, there is nothing he can't bear.
Xiao Qingyu is the youngest among the emperor's several princes, and in the words of ordinary people, he is also the most incompetent. Next year will be the year of the weak crown, but he has no achievements. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He is often seen in Fireworks and Willow Alley. Avoid it.
Looking at the person who was clearly inconvenience, but still tried to stay upright, hurriedly chasing after Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Qingyu raised his eyebrows, then turned to leave, and laughed even more.
When Xu Changan caught up with Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Qingyan was already kneeling in front of the spirit of the former queen, and Xu Changan naturally wanted to kneel along with him. Just before the action, he found that Xiao Qingyan was kneeling directly on the ground, and he put the futon aside.
Xu Changan pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, staggered half a body distance from Xiao Qingyan, and knelt directly on the ground just like Xiao Qingyan. Looking at the man with a straight waist and a strong body that could even be called a stalwart, Xu Changan only saw his loneliness.
He is the eldest son of the emperor or the eldest son, but now he has married a male wife, ruining his great future, and it is normal to be depressed.
The two knelt for an hour. When Xiao Qingyan got up, he shook a few times because his legs were slightly numb, but Xu Changan waited until Xiao Qingyan had turned away before slowly getting up. He didn't want to continue to make a fool of himself in front of Xiao Qingyan. After watching Xiao Qingyan get up, he didn't rush to follow, but rubbed his legs first. Although preparations have been made, after all, it has been a long time, and his legs are still a little uncomfortable. In addition, he just fell to the back again and strode after Xiao Qingyan. After a while, Xu Changan's forehead was sweating.
Xiao Qingyan is tall and has long legs, and his strides are very large. Xu Changan tried his best to chase him, but he just kept getting further and further away from him. He simply waited for him at the gate of the palace, otherwise he really didn't know how to go back.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
"It's useless." Although the royal carriage was comfortable, it was tall. Xu Changan put a lot of effort into getting on the carriage. After getting on the carriage, he was already trying his best to suppress it, but he was still panting slightly.
Looking at the sweaty, panting man, Xu Changan with a flushed face, Xiao Qingyan just threw the word useless to him and didn't say anything. I just kept thinking in my heart that this person was just like me. After kneeling on the ground for so long, I was begging my mother and punishing myself. Why should he join? Look at a man.
After returning, the two received the emperor's decree as soon as they arrived at the palace.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict... The eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Qingyan, is named King Xian, and the youngest son of the Xu family, Xu Changan, is the concubine of King Xian. Hurry up and thank you, King Xian, Princess Xian." The father-in-law who announced the decree himself has served the emperor for decades. , but this time, he couldn't figure out his master's mind. The master married the eldest prince to a male wife and cut off his path to the throne, but he named him a virtuous king. You must know that this virtuous king's land is hundreds of miles outside the suburbs of Beijing, so the virtuous king of each dynasty must be future emperor.
"My son has received the decree and thank you." Xiao Qingyan was also very excited after receiving the imperial decree. Then there was another reward on the imperial decree. Xiao Qingyan didn't care anymore. What he cares most about now is the father's intention. Abandoning himself, but... Looking at the virtuous princess beside him, Xiao Qingyan could only suppress his delusions. Everything in front of him is probably the compensation of his father.
There are dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of rare treasures given by the emperor. Xiao Qingyan didn't even look at it, just left a sentence for the princess to dispose of it and left.
Xu Changan was by Xiao Qingyan's side, and he naturally noticed the change in Xiao Qingyan's mood. Xu Changan has always been a smart person, and he also guessed Xiao Qingyan's thoughts by seven or eight points, so those who are acquainted don't go to block Xiao Qingyan when he is lonely, and do it obediently. what you should do.
When everything was recorded and put into the warehouse, the sky was completely dark, and when she returned to her house, Yangmao had already prepared meals and waited for Xu Changan, but Xu Changan thought that Xiao Qingyan should also have not eaten, and he did not know him. I don't need to arrange my own meals, and I don't need to wait for him to eat together.
"Mammy, do we need to wait for His Highness?" Xu Changan was not very clear about some of the rules of the back house, so he could only ask Mammy Yang.
"Ordinarily, the first few days of the wedding, His Royal Highness should come over to have dinner with the young master, but..."
"I know, then wait."
On the wedding night, Xu Changan didn't expect Xiao Qingyan to go and return, so he didn't wait for anyone. No matter what today, he had to wait and then talk about it.
Sure enough, Xiao Qingyan came again after a while.
"Come here and cook for me."
"Yes, my lord." Xu Changan likes light things, so the dishes prepared by Yangmao are naturally vegetarian dishes. Xiao Qingyan is not used to food without oil and salt. He eats very slowly, but he never puts down his chopsticks. .
Xu Changan was smashed hard today, not only his hands and elbows, but his whole body was a little uncomfortable. Although it was a trivial matter, it was a little uncomfortable to stretch out his hands all the time. Mammy Yang and the two girls stood on the side, feeling distressed for their young master and afraid to speak. It was right for the princess to serve the prince, and there was no room for them to speak in this room.
Xiao Qingyan finally finished eating, and Yang Yang was going to serve her young master for dinner, but Xiao Qingyan asked Xu Changan to serve him and take a bath.
The hot water quickly mentioned the bathroom, Xiao Qingyan stood there with both hands open, and Xu Changan stepped forward to undress. Xiao Qingyan was still wearing the prince's uniform that he wore when he entered the palace today. Although each piece of clothing was very light and thin, the style was cumbersome. When going to untie the python-patterned belt around Xiao Qingyan's waist, it was inevitable to approach him. Knowing that Xiao Qingyan hated him, Xu Changan tried to keep himself away from him. He heard Xiao Qingyan's light cough, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Qingyan really frowning at himself.
Xiao Qingyan actually didn't hate Xu Changan, nor did he hate his appearance or personality. After getting closer, Xiao Qingyan found that Xu Changan was not only cold and handsome as described by his father, but his eyebrows and eyes were actually very beautiful and gentle.
"Okay, you go out first, this king will call you if you need it."
"Yes, my lord."
Seeing Xu Changan coming out, Mommy Yang hurriedly asked him to eat. Perhaps Changan had no appetite, but he ate a few mouthfuls. After he had something in his stomach, Xu Changan felt a little more comfortable, so he ate some more dishes. Ask Mama Yang to remove the food.
It took a lot of time to count the things that the emperor had given me just now. If it was getting late today, Xiao Qingyan was ready to go to bed after taking a bath.
"You can sleep outside, but don't let anyone find out."
"Okay." Seeing that Xiao Qingyan was already lying on the bed, Xu Changan turned off the light for him before he dared to gently rub each other's hands, and then carefully backed out.
"It's okay, it's okay." In the dark night, Xu Changan's voice was neither angry nor angry, as if Xiao Qingyan didn't care what he did to him. Arriving at the outer ear room, Xu Changan closed his eyes quickly after falling asleep on the bed, but he never felt sleepy.
Early the next morning, Xu Changan got up and went into the bedroom, but he didn't go to bed, he just sat on the edge of the bed, and when the sky was almost over, the girl outside was waiting, and then he asked someone to come in and wait on him.
When Xu Changan entered the door, Xiao Qingyan noticed it, and he never wanted to speak, because he just didn't want to talk to Xu Changan. He was ready for Xu Changan to go to bed with him, but he didn't expect Xu Changan to not go to bed. Just sat by the bed.
"Princess, today is the day of returning home, how about you change into a brighter shirt?" Yesterday, I had already entered the palace to thank you, and today I don't need to wear a uniform that matches my identity, but the princess is too plain today. , the girl thought that this is not only going back to the door, but also happened to have a big happy event in the palace, so she should wear bright clothes to make her happy.
As soon as the girl spoke, the two of them remembered that today is the day of returning home. Xiao Qingyan didn't need to say more, he definitely didn't want to go to the Xu family, and Xu Changan didn't want to go back, so neither of them said anything for a while.
The girl who just spoke saw that the two masters didn't speak, and her face was a little ugly. She thought she said something wrong, and her hands shook in fright. She didn't dare to pant loudly until Xiao Qingyan left, and patted her chest with both hands.
I don't know if Xiao Qingyan took the girl's words to heart. Anyway, he didn't make a statement until he finally left.
"Master, although the master has indeed gone too far, but today the king will not accompany you back, the people in this capital don't know how to laugh at you in the future, the king is really too much." The words have come out, the prince has never allowed the young master to see the servants of the palace, and it is not a matter of officially admitting the status of the young master.
"Isn't it a good idea not to go back? The old master wished that the young master would stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of his life, but now the young master has become a virtuous princess, but he is not a 4th rank official, so let's not pay attention to him now! Young master, Wang Ye has done a good job, If we don’t go back, it’s not just us who are shameless. People in the capital have eyes, they will definitely know that it was the master who bullied the young master first, and this is the king who is avenging you.”
"Aren't you sad for me?" When he knew that he was going to marry a man, he was still sad. It's only been a few days, how has it changed.
"Master, now and then, since you have already married the prince, you should think about a good place. At least now, no one can bully you, right?"
"You two, this is no longer our little Zhuangzi that no one has set foot on, nor is it the Xu mansion where we can bully others, this is the royal mansion, you have to understand what to say and what not to say in the future, just like the words just now. Don't talk about it in the future, even in private, you can't say you know." Xu Changan had his own thoughts on whether to return to Xu's house, and he already had the answer in his heart.
Of the four princes of the current emperor, only Xiao Qingyan has started to go to court at the age of twenty, but he doesn't have to go these days, and he has no intention to go. Xiao Qingyan was very surprised when she heard that her personal servant told the princess to ask for a meeting, and came here specifically to ask for a meeting, what could he do
"I have seen the king."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"My lord, today is the day for the minister to return to the door." He met Xiao Qingyan's scrutinizing eyes without dodging, but Xu Changan showed no sign of compromise on his face.
"I came here specially for this? Well, this king can tell you that this king will not go." Xiao Qingyan seemed to have made up his mind.
And Xu Changan was also uncompromising, and continued: "My lord, the ceremony cannot be abandoned. Today's emperor loves the people like a son, and the royal family is an example to all the people in the world. I hope the lord thinks twice."
He was still in the same posture as before, and he said pleading words, but the attitude in his tone did not seem to be asking for help. Looking at the person who was separated by a case from him, Xiao Qingyan suddenly felt that this stubborn face seemed familiar, but after thinking about it, he had no impression at all, so he didn't think any more, but directly ordered the next person , ready to return to the door, he and the princess are going back today.
The people in the world, those who stare at them, are also one of the people.
