The Princess Palace is located in the west of the noisy imperial city, adjacent to the residence of Marquis Wu'an, next to the West Street of the Imperial City. To enter the palace, the Xi'an Gate is the closest. Embracing the water, it stands majestically, and the phoenix spreads its wings on the eaves, but it is nostalgic for the world. There are glazed tiles, beautiful vermilion walls, jade arch bridges, and winding corridors to cover them. Willows are planted all over the shore, the so-called carved beams and painted buildings are so ingenious, so it is.

When Qi Wenxuan brought the two of them back, Princess Rong Shuo was in the side hall. There were only a few white flowers and fruits left on a locust tree in the courtyard, exuding a faint fragrance. She was wearing a blue underwear with a chrysanthemum skirt and a waist An emerald green sash is tied on a light blue wide satin ribbon, which looks slender. She is playing chess with her concubine on the stone table below. The princess holds black and the concubine holds white. She looks very distressed, her beautiful face is full of It was a sign of hesitation, the steps on the sideburns swayed with her movements, one hand folded the cuffs of the brocade robe and the other hand held the black chess piece, he was hesitating, while the son-in-law was staring at her with a smile on his face, he was wearing a red boa robe inlaid with gold, and he was stepping on black and white clouds. Patterned shoes, a resolute face, a little beard on the chin but added a bit of elegance to him, these two are not very old, Qinghe Princess just took all the advantages of the two of them, except of course, their personality.

"Ma'am, you can't beat me this time." The son-in-law said with a smile holding the winning ticket.

The princess put the jade chess in her hand back into the chess box, stroked her hair on her temples and said lazily: "Forget it, Left and Right have defeated you so many times, and this time is not bad."

The son-in-law chuckled and did not expose her, but said: "If Madam is tired, you can take a nap first. I will ask someone to call Wen Xuan back and have dinner together, how about it?"

"You don't want to call your daughter. I said earlier that you can't spoil her like this. You have to listen. Now, the whole imperial city knows that Qi Jingyang, the Commander of Jinyiwei, has a daughter who doesn't know the basics..."

Concubine Qi sighed, and said helplessly: "Ma'am, you have to rely on your conscience when you say this, and I take care of it every day, but which time it's not... It's not because you said that you feel sorry for me, so I stopped it?"

"Blame me?" The princess gave him a look.

"...Blame me, blame me!"

"Father, mother, I'm back!"

The two people on the stone bench had different expressions, the eldest princess had a happy face, and the son-in-law had a helpless face. I haven't seen anyone yet, but the voice has been heard far away. The old father couldn't help but let out a sigh, saying : "Xuan'er...you can stay focused, how will you get married in the future~"

"Daddy, what are you talking about again? Guess what I brought back?"

The eldest princess got up, straightened her messy hair, and said softly: "Didn't our Xuan'er bring something fun to honor our parents today?"

She dodged her mother, ran to her father, squeezed his shoulders and complained to him, "Oh, you guys are so boring, if you ask you to guess, you can just guess!"

"Yesterday I heard you said that Marquis Wu'an's family had a wild cat that gave birth, but did you bring one back?"

"No, no, Dad, think about it carefully, is this considered filial piety? Obviously not..."

"Let my mother take a guess. A few days ago, you said that there is a rouge and gouache on Dingfu Street that is of good quality, but it is comparable to the ones in the palace. Didn't you just buy it today?"

"Oh, mother, why do you not understand me so much? If I'm really happy, I don't need to wait until today?"

Ling Yanchi tugged on Chen Yunyu's sleeve and whispered: "Is she always like this?"

Chen Yunyu smiled wryly: "It was like this when I was a child, and it's like this when I grow up... At least I don't see any changes."

Ling Yanchi covered her mouth and smiled, "Very good, innocent."

"Cousin! Cousin! Come in quickly! My parents want to see you!"

"Is it inappropriate for me to go like this?" Ling Yanchi asked hastily.

"It's nothing, don't worry." After speaking, he patted his shoulder, and then the two went in.

As soon as the eldest princess entered, her eyes fell on Chen Yunyu, she took two steps closer and looked at him in disbelief: "You are Yu'er? You are so old, I just came here when I saw you last time, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye... ..." She gestured at her waist, and after she finished speaking, she moved closer to Chen Yunyu, looked at him and pulled him to sit on the stone bench, and said, "Why don't you say hello in advance, and ask your father to write a letter in advance, really ..."

Chen Yunyu had a toothache, he always felt that Yu'er resembled his daughter's name, so he smiled at her, got up and bowed his hands and said, "My nephew pays respects to my uncle and aunt." The son-in-law also nodded to Chen Yunyu as a greeting.

This aunt brought the group of people closer together. The eldest princess pinched the brocade handkerchief, stretched out her index finger and tapped his forehead and said with a smile: "You are right, if you call me the eldest princess, I will give you my name." You kicked out of the princess mansion."

Qi Wenxuan put her hands on his father's shoulders, and smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, my mother lied to you."

Suddenly her gaze shifted to Ling Yanchi who was beside Chen Yunyu. After all, this person was tall and handsome, even if he stood with Chen Yunyu, he was not inferior in the slightest. Unable to get away, Jinhui hurriedly got up and introduced: "Auntie, this is a friend of mine who is traveling in Beijing. We happened to be on the way, so we will go together."

Ling Yanchi cupped his hands and bowed in salute: "Grassman Ling Yanchi, see the eldest princess, son-in-law."

What made him feel strange was the expressions of the eldest princess and the son-in-law. They looked at each other almost at the same time, and then moved away tacitly. Immediately afterwards, the eldest princess pressed his shoulders and sat on the stone bench, asking softly: " What are the two words of the name?"

"Shui Kuo Shan Chang Yan Chi's Yan Chi." Ling Yan Chi quickly realized that he seemed to be locked in prey, and two eyes were glued to him tightly.But he still told the truth, just had a vague guess—these two people don't want him to be their son-in-law, do they?

"Yan Chi, do you want the wild geese to fly slower?" the eldest princess asked slowly.

"Exactly," everyone who saw this room showed doubts, including Chen Yunyu, so he patiently explained, "Cao Min was separated from his parents when he was still a baby, and his mother was reluctant to let him go. Seeing the geese migrating is even more touching." Jing is sad, wants the wild geese to fly slowly, and prays that he can spend a few more days with me, so he named me Yanchi."

The eldest princess didn't know what to make up in her head after listening to this, tears kept rolling in her eyes, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a brocade handkerchief before asking: "You are still young, why are you different?"

"It's because I'm not lucky enough to serve my parents. I was born with asthma and feared that I would die, so I had to live in the mountains all year round and practice martial arts here for many years. Only then did I have the confidence to dare to go down the mountain and come to Beijing on the way. We hit it off right away and brought us here.”

The eldest princess nodded repeatedly, but looked at him with regret, Chen Yunyu didn't understand, but Ling Yanchi's heart was like a mirror, he had already escaped.

After exchanging greetings for a while, the two settled down in the Princess's Mansion. When they arrived at the residence, Chen Yunyu asked her doubts: "Why did my aunt grab you and ask questions? Why did you exaggerate your asthma?"

Ling Yan paused, rolled her eyes, and said, "Maybe it's because I'm not at ease seeing me by your side. After all, your aunt is really kind to you. I can tell that she There seems to be a light on the face, so if I say I'm short-lived, won't I be able to threaten you?"

Hearing what he said, Chen Yunyu was a little unhappy, she thought about it and said: "No, even though my aunt is a girl, she has always trusted us a lot, since I brought you in, she will definitely not be suspicious of you, And I don't like it when you say you don't live long, you deserve a long life."

Ling Yanchi felt relieved, approached him and smiled: "Yes, yes, it won't be like this again, I will live as a thousand-year-old bastard, then would you like to be a turtle?"

"You are the turtle!"

"Hey! Look at you, don't you know that there is a kind of medicinal material called angelica, and you scold me when you think about it, you are such a rascal~"

"You're a rascal. Anyone who mentions bastards will always think of tortoises. You're the one who's making unreasonable words, but you still call me a rascal!" Chen Yunyu glared at him.

Ling Yanchi squeezed his shoulders and said slyly: "You really don't understand, I'm just praising you. Think about it, ordinary people can think of turtles, but are you an ordinary person, Shizi? I thought naturally not, so I just told you Angelica, but you insist on self-deprecation, you can’t blame me for that!”

"You...you...you sophistry!"

"It can't be like this~ But you can't pour tea!" Ling Yanchi jumped up with his hem up and barely avoided his cup of hot tea, and finally said regretfully, "It's a pity, this is the best Mingqian Dragon Well Tea ... Tsk tsk, the prince is reckless again."

... It was his fault that he made a thousand mistakes, and Chen Yunyu simply didn't want to talk to him.

Ling Yanchi saw that he was sitting on the red-painted golden panchi nanmu chair and did not move, so she walked up to him with small steps, squeezed him on purpose, tilted her head and said, "Are you angry?"

Chen Yunyu tilted her buttocks and changed a chair. Ling Yanchi happened to occupy his seat just now, put her hands on the table and said, "Are you really angry?"

"I didn't!" Chen Yunyu turned her head hard and looked outside, ignoring him.

"Okay, okay, I won't bother you, really." After speaking, he stood up and pressed his shoulders.

The sun is just right outside, and the fiery red pomegranate flowers are in full bloom. Looking from the carved windows, it looks like they have been dyed. The corners and cornices of the palace are still upturned, but there is no peach blossom. It is still very luxurious, but it is not Liaodong after all. .

Ling Yanchi looked at him, felt that there was something strange in his expression, and asked him softly, "Are you homesick?"

Chen Yunyu didn't answer him, but said: "I didn't feel this way when I was away from home before, but why did I feel like this when I came to the capital? I didn't feel like this when I went to Yingtian."

Ling Yanchi thought carefully and said: "Firstly, Chen Nian is not here, and secondly, you are not here to play this time, you have too many things on your mind, and you don't have anyone close to you, so you will inevitably miss your relatives."

Chen Yunyu really wanted to ask him, aren't you my friend? How can you count as having no one close to you?

He thought about it, but he didn't ask after all.

Suddenly Ling Yanchi's arm was hooked around his neck, and he looked at him with a smile and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'm here, there's nothing I can't solve, we'll go back to Guangning together after we're done."

"Where do you want to go when you go back?"

After asking, Chen Yunyu regretted it, so why bother talking about it!

"Tsk tsk, you want to blow me away?"

"That's not what I meant!" He hurriedly explained.

Ling Yanchi covered his mouth and smiled, the little fool is really easy to lie, so he said: "Just kidding, I haven't decided where to go yet, and I don't have a home, I can be my home anywhere, it depends on my mood..."

"Oh……"
