Glory to the ancestors

Yang Jin leaned on Rong Zhen and yawned. He slept soundly this morning, and the little girl at home pushed him awake, "Master, you are going to pick up Prince Pingnan today."

There was not even a little light outside, Yang Jin turned over, "It's not that he has no legs, he can't enter the city without picking up."

"But you are his subordinate now." The little girl said again, "Mr. Rong has been waiting for you outside the mansion."

"Oh my God." Yang Jin despaired.

There were two rows of imperial guards standing at the gate of the city, wrapping them in the middle, staring straight ahead.

Rong Zhen saw a circle of dark shadows in the distance, and finally shrugged his shoulders, "Wake up, someone is coming," he put his hand on Yang Jin's back waist, preventing him from falling again in a daze.

"It's coming." Yang Jin rubbed her eyelids, "I have to wait for two hours, I'm almost dying."

"It's a bit serious." Rong Zhen said, pushing Yang Jin straight, he was also negligent, he should prepare a recliner for Yang Jin to catch up on sleep, "The emperor's order, we have to wait here for the rest of our lives. "

"I can't even see that your father-in-law is so loyal."

Yang Jin rubbed her hands, brushed the hair on her forehead, saw the carriage getting closer, and finally regained some energy.

The closer the carriage was, the slower it was. Li Xiao opened the curtain of the carriage, only paying attention to Yang Jin who was dressed in white, the corners of his mouth curled down, "It's really pretty and filial."

When he got off the carriage, Rong Zhen and Yang Jin knelt down together with the officials who came to welcome Li Xiao, "See you, my lord."

Li Xiao was wearing a cloak, "Get up," he untied the straps on his shoulders, "I haven't been to the capital for a long time, I thought it would be very cold."

Just as Yang Jin was about to curl her lips, her eyes went dark. It turned out that Li Xiao threw the cloak directly on top of Yang Jin's head.

"Don't you know where I should stand?" Li Xiao said coldly, but it was interesting to see Yang Jin hugging his cape and walking into the accompanying officials behind him.

Rong Zhen arched his hands, "It's true that the capital will be cold in a few days, and the extra clothes that the prince brought will be useful."

"I also like it cooler." Li Xiao smiled at Rong Zhen, and stretched out his hand in front of him, "Please trouble me, Lord, to lead the way."

Li Yun arranged a big mansion in the capital for his little uncle. It was the former prince's mansion, and Rong Zhen had someone clean it up early in the morning.

Li Xiao and his party consisted of nearly a hundred people, from his cronies and guards to the cooks in the prince's mansion. As soon as they entered the mansion, they settled down automatically, which saved the officials of the Ministry of Rites a lot of worry.

Rong Zhen and Li Xiao sat in the hall, and they began to greet each other politely.

"I heard that this mansion is where Wu Zong lived before."

"That's right," Rong Zhen nodded, "There are wooden stakes that Wu Zong used to practice martial arts in the backyard."

Li Xiao glanced at Yang Jin who was standing next to him, "During Wu Zong's time, your Yang family had a protector."

"Huh?" Yang Jin pursed her lips, her eyelids were constantly twitching and she still had the strength to reply, "Even if I have the talent of Lord Huguo, you may not have the courage of Wu Zong."

"you……"

"My lord, the emperor specially sent two cooks from the imperial dining room to let you taste the flavor of the north. Can you let them prepare the meal now?" Seeing that Li Xiao and Yang Jin were about to quarrel again, Rong Zhen quickly changed the topic .

"Alright." Li Xiao glanced at Yang Jin, "You stay too."

Yang Jin got up in the morning and got angry, "My lord, I'm not you. It doesn't matter if you don't close your eyes for three days. You asked me to pick me up and I came to accompany you to this ruined palace. It's all about this point." , can't you let me go back to sleep?"

"Eat." Li Xiao didn't care at all, got up and walked into the dining room, "I'll let you sleep after eating."

Rong Zhen looked at Li Xiao's expression, and said that he didn't look like he said that he deliberately bumped into Yang Jin's bad luck, but he didn't know why he was so obsessed with making trouble with Yang Jin.

As expected of the craftsmanship of the imperial chef, this big table of delicacies really whets the appetite. Several officials in the southern border ate with relish after traveling for so long.

But Yang Jin didn't have such a good appetite, and now the bowl in front of him was doubled.

"Take two bites at least." Rong Zhen picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them in Yang Jin's bowl.

Yang Jin put the food in her mouth and swallowed it without chewing much, "My lord, I'm full."

Li Xiao tilted his head to look at him, thinking that today would be the end of the day, "Go ahead, I'll let the servants clean up your room."

"Huh?" Yang Jin narrowed her eyes, "It's not that I don't have a home in the capital, so why should I stay with you."

"Because you are my subordinate now."

This sentence is really a panacea, Yang Jin couldn't get up the energy to argue with Li Xiao, so she gave Li Xiao a look with the last of her strength, and followed her servants to the room Li Xiao said resignedly.

After Yang Jin had left, Li Xiao asked Rong Zhen, "Is he so willful before?"

"This," Rong Zhen frowned, "you insisted on him."

"That's right, since you can bear me, why can't you bear it?" Li Xiao had something in his words, which made Rong Zhen feel a little uncomfortable.

Since tomorrow is the day when the emperor will officially receive Li Xiao, Rong Zhen has a lot of etiquette matters to discuss with Li Xiao, and the two of them talked until the afternoon.

Yang Jin had enough sleep and the sky was getting dark, so she asked others, and they said that Rong Zhen was still in Li Xiao's study, so she became interested.

As soon as he pushed the door, Li Xiao's eyes changed, "Why are you here?"

After Yang Jin woke up, she finally had some etiquette. She bowed her hands and was about to leave the door, "I'm used to it, my lord, I'll leave now."

"No need," Li Xiao raised his hand, "my father-in-law and I have almost talked."

"Then you are leaving?" Yang Jin looked at Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen nodded to him.

The loss in Yang Jin's eyes is self-evident, and Li Xiao could also see it. He waved to Yang Jin, "My father-in-law and I are talking about the emperor's election. What do you think?"

"It's not that I'm getting married, what can I think?" Yang Jin closed the door, walked in, and sat down on the chair next to Rong Zhen carelessly.

"The Yang family is not going to push someone up?"

"Yes," Yang Jin thought for a while, "but my little niece doesn't seem to think much of the emperor."

"Is there any girl who looks down on the emperor?"

"That's right, what about you, which one do you like?" Yang Jin didn't pay much attention to Li Xiao, and turned to ask Rong Zhen.

"I think it's possible to choose someone from the empress dowager's natal family. The emperor is young, so he must listen to the empress dowager."

"Haha," Li Xiao clapped his palms and laughed, "I'm afraid that the more his mother asks him to marry, the less he will want to marry." He asked again, "You don't have any candidates in mind?"

"Anyway, our Rong family doesn't have a daughter, so I don't think anyone is suitable."

Yang Jin felt funny when she heard this, and felt distressed at the same time, she squinted at Li Xiao, "You are also a mother-in-law, what does it have to do with you?"

"I'm such a mother-in-law, you just realized it today?"

"I've seen it a long time ago." Yang Jin thought that the words were not speculative, and this Li Xiao was deliberately looking for his own discomfort. He grabbed the corner of Xia Rongzhen's clothes, "Aren't you leaving?"

Rong Zhen stood up, "My lord, then I will take my leave first."

"I'll see you off." Yang Jin followed her with a lift of her butt.

Li Xiao's brows trembled, and for some reason, he felt very suffocated.
