Prince does not come

For the people's banquet, Long Si lied that he did not go back to Beijing after all, so when the street was bustling, Long Si drank tea alone in the courtyard to enjoy the moon, but the tea tasted like wine, a little intoxicating .

He and Xuan Yunqi have been separated for three months. The spies came to report that Xuan Yun is now handling the affairs of Xuanguo. I heard that Xuan Yunqi has been grounded. I wonder how he is doing?

At this time, in Xuanguo East Palace thousands of miles away, Xuan Yunqi, whom Long Siji missed, was practicing swords in the courtyard. Xuan Yun recovered from his illness. , appointed five emperor masters to teach Xuan Yunqi the way of being a king in the East Palace.

If people don't want to learn, let alone five or even fifty, it's useless. After Jizhou and his party, Xuan Yunqi deeply felt the importance of martial arts, so he practiced the sword skills taught by Long Si in the courtyard every day, and asked Chi Cheng He pointed and discussed, and Chi Cheng was almost dismissed because of this, but under Xuan Yunqi's argument, Xuan Yun also gave up the idea of ​​dismissal, and only restrained the feet of the two.

Without Chi Cheng, there is still Yun Xun. Because of the voodoo incident, Yun Jiang did not find out Xuan Hui's identity in Liang State. It happened that Xuan Yun was poisoned again, so he wondered if Xuan Hui was hiding in Xuan State. Si asked Yunxun to bring people to Xuanguo to investigate Xuanhui's identity.So Xuan Yunqi called Yun Xun who had been living in Chi Cheng's mansion to teach him how to practice sword.

Not to mention the old age of the emperor, he was also weak and sick, and the crown prince's ascension to the throne was only a matter of a few years ago, so the people Xuan Yun sent to the East Palace to monitor turned their backs one after another. Xuan Yunqi hides it from Xuan Yun.

Xuan Yun was physically weak and had no energy to take care of Xuan Yunqi, so Xuan Yunqi has been practicing swords in the East Palace. After March, the results have been quite good, and he has been able to fight Yun Xun without letting him go.

On this day, Xuan Yunqi had just started to practice, when he heard the report from the servant, "Prince, the empress is here"

Xuan Yunqi put away his sword immediately, ran back to the study, took a copy of "Han Feizi" and read it shaking his head, "Things are in the four directions, and the center must be in the center. The sage insists, and the four directions will follow..." Seeing the queen come in, he quickly put the book Putting it down, she stood up and greeted her, "Mother, why are you here?"

The queen took Xuan Yunqi's hand, "The queen mother heard that you have forgotten to eat and sleep in studying recently, and I am worried that you will burn out."

Xuan Yunqi felt a little guilty when he heard the words. He was exaggerating too much. He helped the queen to sit down, "Actually, it's not that exaggerated."

The queen glanced at the book on the desk, "but remember, the queen mother, didn't you memorize "Han Feizi" at the age of ten?"

Xuan Yunqi smiled and poured a cup of tea for the queen, "Learn the new by reviewing the past."

The queen drank tea and said, "Speaking of old friends, the queen mother is here today to tell you about an old friend."

Xuan Yunqi's eyelids twitched, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Linyue"

Xiao Linyue is Xuan Yunqi's cousin, and she is also the concubine who has been appointed for a long time, but she has never married. Xuan Yunqi has been obsessed with swordsmanship recently and has not yet figured out how to talk to the queen about retiring the engagement. Unexpectedly, the queen came to mention it first. But judging by the queen's appearance, she didn't seem to know her son's mind and took the initiative to propose a divorce.

It's either a divorce or a marriage, Xuan Yunqi asked tentatively, "How is my cousin?"

The queen said: "What's the matter? I'm sixteen and I'm not married yet. If I hadn't engaged you long ago, I wouldn't have been told what to say."

Long Si, who is 31 this year, is not in a hurry yet and hasn't married yet.Xuan Yun said in unison, "You're only sixteen, don't worry."

The queen patted Xuan Yunqi's hand, "What stupid things are you talking about, the queen mother married your father at the age of 15"

Xuan Yunqi muttered in a low voice: "That's why you got married early."

The queen didn't care about Xuan Yunqi, and said directly in the future, "Your father is not in good health recently, so he plans to pass on the throne to you in the next year. Is the queen mother here to ask you if you plan to marry the crown prince or concubine?" Stand directly behind?"

Xuan Yunqi really didn't know how to tell the queen about Long Si, so he could only say: "My mother, a man should first establish a career and then get married. I don't want to get married so early."

"Establish a career?" The queen looked at Xuan Yunqi suspiciously, what kind of career does he need to establish after he has ascended the throne?She still knows her son's little thoughts, "Tell the queen honestly, do you have someone else you like outside?"

"Uh...that's okay." Xuan Yunqi choked, why did it sound like he had empathized with someone else? Although he had thought about marrying Xiao Linyue before, it had absolutely nothing to do with liking .

The queen frowned slightly. She watched Xiao Linyue grow up, and she was also her niece. She couldn't let her be wronged, so she asked, "Who is she?"

"He..." Xuan Yunqi was a little embarrassed, his identity was really hard to say, so he changed his words, "I like him very much, I should say I love him"

How did you fall in love with her after only going out for a trip?The Queen's words analyzed for Xuan Yunqi earnestly, "Qi'er, do you know what love feels like? You just met a funny person when you went out to play, so how can it be considered love?"

It is rare for Xuan Yunqi to be serious in front of the queen, "Mother, I know, I will tell my cousin, don't worry about it"

Seeing Xuan Yunqi being so serious and serious, the queen murmured in her heart, could it be that she was really in love, but she was very unwilling to give up Xiao Linyue, a wonderful girl, and wondered if it was because the two hadn't seen each other for a long time and their relationship was strange, so it's better to let her When the two met, they drew closer and said, "The mother arranged for you to meet"

The queen has always loved Xuan Yunqi, Xuan Yunqi thought that the queen agreed with him, and was very moved, "Thank you, queen mother"

The empress had a purpose, so she was busy going back to the palace to make arrangements, "Then the empress will go back to the palace first, you can wait for news from the empress in the East Palace."

"Respectfully send off the queen mother" Xuan Yunqi sent the queen out of the East Palace.

Xuan Yunqi walked back to the courtyard, and a carrier pigeon happened to fly by and onto the roof. Xuan Yunqi stopped and looked at the carrier pigeon on the top with a deep expression.

If you ask him when he knew love, it was when Hongyan came back but did not bring back the letter from that person, Xuan Yunqi knew that he was in love with him.

In the evening, Xuan Yunqi received an oral order from the emperor, saying that he had relieved his feet, and came together with the imperial order, and a message from the queen, saying that he had invited Xiao Linyue to go on a boat trip by the river to appreciate willows.

The cold winter is over, and it is the time of spring, which is indeed a good time to appreciate willows.

On the second day, Xuan Yunqi wore a white robe and held a folding fan. He really looked like a young man.

The servant girl of the East Palace looked at Xuan Yunqi's appearance, and kindly reminded, "Prince, are you really planning to retire with this dress?"

Xuan Yunqi said: "Withdrawing from marriage is not to deceive people, just do what should be done, my cousin and I just lost love, and it's not that we don't have family ties." Thinking of the little brother who followed behind me every day when I was a child, my brother and brother shouted. Girl, Xuan Yunqi felt very sorry.

In the season of revival of all things, the air in front of you is more pleasant. Xuan Yunqi arrived at the riverside, and at this time the queen and Xiao Linyue had already arrived.

Xuan Yunqi stepped onto the boat, "Mother, cousin"

At the age of twenty-eight, the beauty was just in time, Xiao Linyue looked at Xuan Yunqi, and called out generously, "Brother Prince, long time no see."

The queen took Xiao Linyue's hand, and said with a kind smile, "It's been a long time since we saw each other. Today is a good time to see you. It just so happens that this season is also a good time for spring. Young people should go out for a walk."

Xiao Linyue said: "If the prince's elder brother is willing, why not accompany Linyue for a walk by the river?"

Xuan Yunqi would naturally agree, "Let's go" and asked the Queen, "Does Queen Mother want to go for a walk together?"

The purpose was to bring the two together, so the queen naturally wouldn't get in the way, so she waved her hand, "I'm here to see Jing Xing, you young people go on your own."

Xiao Linyue bowed to the queen, and went ashore with Xuan Yunqi.

Two figures, one white and one pink, walked side by side under the Yiyi willows, the white jade crown brushed past the tender green willows, the spring breeze swayed, and the hem of the clothes fluttered slightly, the two turned their heads to look at each other from time to time, and the queen was satisfied Extremely.

Xiao Linyue stretched out her hand and lifted the willow in front of her. Although she was smiling, there was some invisible sadness in her eyes, "Brother Prince, what adventures do you have after going out for a year?"

If we talk about Qi Yu, the biggest thing in Xuan Yunqi's life is of course being abducted by Long Si, but this cannot be said, so he said: "How can Qi Yu be so easy for people to meet?"

Xiao Linyue was a little disappointed, "That's it, then I said I wanted to go wandering in the rivers and lakes."

"Break into the rivers and lakes?" Xuan Yunqi was a little surprised, looking at the pretty girl in front of him, the daughter of an official family would have such thoughts, "Why do you want to go into the rivers and lakes?"

Xiao Linyue smiled but did not answer, "I heard that the prince's elder brother has been practicing martial arts recently, maybe he can beat Chi Cheng?"

Xuan Yunqi laughed. In the past, when he sneaked out of the palace, he was always caught by Chi Cheng, so he said that one day he would definitely beat Chi Cheng hard, but now he seems to have lost the idea, "Haha, if he If you don't fight back"

The two walked for a while and talked about some interesting things. Seeing that the conversation was almost done, Xuan Yunqi asked: "Cousin, did the queen mother tell you about us?"

Xiao Linyue was slightly startled, and smiled a little forcedly, "Say it"

Seeing the reluctance in Xiao Linyue's eyes, Xuan Yunqi secretly sighed that the word love is harmful, but what should be said should be made clear earlier, so he can only use a slightly more tactful wording, "Cousin, just now you asked me if I had any adventures, Actually there are”

Xiao Linyue asked cooperatively, "Oh? I don't know what happened to the prince brother?"

"I figured out something." Xuan Yunqi stood still and looked at Xiao Linyue seriously.

Xiao Linyue also stopped, raised her face and looked at Xuan Yun, "What's the matter?"

Xuan Yun said in unison: "Cousin, you and I grew up together, we love brothers and sisters"

"Brothers and sisters?" Xiao Linyue was stunned for a moment, then asked with great hope in her eyes: "Is it because the prince brother met someone he likes?"

Seeing such an obvious expression, Xuan Yunqi was very puzzled, why did he seem to be... happy?But the words that should be said did not fall behind, "Yes, so, cousin, my marriage with you...I will go to the prime minister's mansion to explain clearly"

Xiao Linyue pursed her lips fiercely when she heard the words, then lowered her head and sighed heavily, "I knew the prince would not like me."

Hearing that Xuanyun Qi was already overwhelmed, he felt even more guilty. If he hadn't made an engagement with him, Xiao Linyue's family background, talent and appearance could not find any princes and princes, but this marriage delayed the girl for so long. At the end of the day, he came out like this.

"Cousin, don't worry, as long as you like the noble children in Beijing, you can choose them, and I will speak for you."

Xiao Linyue shook her head, "No need."

"I..." Xuan Yunqi was at a loss for words, he really didn't know how to redeem this matter.

But just when Xuan Yunqi was in trouble, Xiao Linyue raised her head, she didn't see disappointment but pleaded, "If Brother Prince really feels sorry, why don't you do me a favor?"

Xuan Yunqi did not hesitate, let alone one, even ten he would agree without hesitation, "Okay"

It's just that he didn't expect Xiao Linyue to be so busy...shocking the world
