How to Be a Male Queen

【Little son Jane has lost his horse】

Toba Yongjun started to investigate after seeing Anyi at the gate of the palace.All kinds of signs indicate that An Yi is the descendant of the Uncle Wang who fled to Daxia back then.

However, the clue was broken when it came to Princess Anya.

Tuoba Yongjun thought over and over again, and decided to ask Princess Anya directly to find out the truth.

At this time, he was sitting in the flower hall of the Princess Mansion, drinking tea and talking with Princess Anya.

"Isn't little cousin in the mansion?" Thinking of Jian Xiaoshi's energetic appearance, Tuoba Yongjun couldn't help showing a warm smile.

"Haohao went to the camp with His Royal Highness King Ping yesterday." Princess Anya replied warmly.

Ever since he realized that "he wants to inherit the Lingnan army", Jian Hao followed Qin Yuan to the temporary Lingnan army camp every three days.

With Xiao Shizi by his side, Qin Yuan didn't have to rush back every time, it was the best of both worlds.

Tuoba Yongjun had already noticed Qin Yuan's feelings for Jian Hao, so he didn't find it strange.

After talking about Jian Hao for a while, Toba Yongjun took the initiative to get to the point.

"Aunt, my nephew met a man at the palace gate that day. At first glance, I almost thought it was Uncle Anren Wang when he was young..."

Tuoba Yongjun stopped at this point, his brown eyes, which were exactly the same as those of Princess Anya, were full of unsatisfactory meaning.

Princess Anya put down the teacup and nodded, "He is the only son of Brother An Ren, named An Yi."

Tuoba Yongjun clenched his fists, lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt in front of Princess Anya, and said earnestly: "Auntie, my nephew grew up by your side since childhood, you treat my nephew like your own son, you must know how my nephew feels... "

Princess Anya patted his hand, her warm eyes were full of kindness and unspeakable distress, "Jun'er, he is not the person you are looking for."

Tuoba Yongjun was stunned for a moment, and complex expressions of surprise, disappointment, and disbelief flashed in his eyes.

Reason told him that Princess Anya would not lie to him, but she couldn't accept it emotionally.

He came all the way to Daxia, and he did not hesitate to enter the palace as a hostage for this. Could it be that even the last clue is going to be broken?

Seeing his painful expression, Princess Anya couldn't bear it, she couldn't help but said: "Jun'er, actually——"

"Mother—I'm back!"

Xiao Shizi's angry voice came from outside the door, and the next moment, a jumping figure rushed over in a daze.

Eh?It doesn't seem right... It's hard, it's not mother!

Jian Xiaoshizi blinked and let go of his arms, only then did he see clearly that there was a person blocking his mother.

Jian Hao looked at Tuoba Yongjun and asked curiously, "Brother Fairy, when did you come?"

Well, the eyes look red... crying?

Princess Anya pretended to be angry and slapped his hand, "Don't be rude."

Xiao Shizi chuckled, "It's okay, my cousin knows I'm joking."

"Little cousin is lively and straightforward, and my nephew loves it very much. Auntie doesn't need to be harsh." Tuoba Yongjun twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at Jian Hao, and smiled a little forcedly, "I'm taking a rest today, and I'm coming to visit my aunt."

As he spoke, he took out something from his bosom, "The new charcoal pencil from the Ministry of Industry has a case made of poplar wood, which is easier to use."

Xiaoshi Jian sensitively noticed that he seemed a little unhappy, so he sincerely said "thank you" and stopped making trouble.

He obediently ran to the beauty's mother, and took out the thing that he had been holding in his arms, "This is the sweet potato we bought at the farmer's house. His Royal Highness baked it with clods of soil. It's so sweet, mother, try it."

Princess Anya took a bite out of face, and didn't care about the "prince-son-type" logic of "why clods of soil can bake sweet potatoes".

"Is it sweet?"

Princess Anya nodded with a smile, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Did An Yi not follow you?"

"He's outside, mother looking for him?"

Princess Anya glanced around and saw a plate of grapes with drops of water on the table, and said, "Yesterday, Yu'er sent a basket of fruit, and asked him to come over and give it to the people below to taste."

"Okay!" Jian Xiaoshizi ran outside in person and called An Yi into the room.

Tuoba Yongjun naturally understood the intention of Princess Anya, so he suppressed the disappointment on his face and showed a calm posture.

When Anyi saw the ceremony, he took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to the other party, "It's rare to see a clansman in Daxia. This king thinks that Commander An is very kind, and he is... very happy."

He subconsciously looked at Princess Anya.

The eldest princess said softly: "I think this is the fate between you and the third prince, so just accept it!"

Only then did An Yi take the jade pendant, put his right hand on his left chest, and performed the courtesy of the Heavenly Wolf Kingdom to Tuoba Yongjun.

Tuoba Yongjun helped him up, with some genuine affection on his face.

An Yi didn't care, and went out after receiving the reward from Princess Anya.

Outside the flower hall.

A certain man was leaning on the porch pillar with his arms folded, squinting at him.

An Yi was flipping through the jade pendant up and down, inexplicably feeling familiar.

When a certain man saw that he was watching intently, he couldn't help but wonder, "Do you want to wear a mandarin duck?"

An Yi was a little annoyed, "What nonsense!"

"The princess mansion is full of guards from the Sirius Kingdom, and he is also accompanied by Sirius people. Why does he only look at you with a good face?" A certain sarcasm, stretched out his hand to snatch the auspicious pendant, and held it between his fingers to play, " Could it be that he has taken a fancy to you?"

"Don't talk nonsense, give it back to me!" An Yi stepped forward to grab it.

A certain wrist flipped, and the expensive jade pendant disappeared instantly.

An Yi was a little anxious, "I haven't seen it clearly yet, don't make trouble!"

The more anxious he was, the angrier he became.

He took out a red cloth bag from his bosom, opened it three layers inside and outside three layers, revealing a small jade ring inside.

Thinking about the age, the red rope tied to it is already very old.

"Master only had this on me when he picked me up. Although it is not expensive, it is very important to me... I will exchange it with you."

After a certain finished speaking, regardless of whether Anyi agreed or not, he tied it around his neck without any explanation, and tucked it into his collar by the way.

"Who wants to change it with you..." Although he muttered like this, Anyi pressed his collar carefully, lowered his eyebrows, and no longer wanted the jade pendant.

A certain mood inexplicably improved, hugged him, and said with a smile: "Let's go, share the grapes!"

"Let go, I can walk by myself!"

"I'm afraid of being kidnapped!"

"..."

October [-] is the queen's birthday.

The Empress held a birthday banquet in Jingyuan Palace, and the ministers, nobles, and wives from various mansions all went to celebrate her birthday.

Great Prince's Mansion.

After Qin An listened to his subordinate's report, a sneering smile appeared on his lips, "Qin Ming is already crazy now, and he will bite everyone he sees."

He knocked on the table with his fingers, and said disdainfully: "Father is also nostalgic, even though he was demoted to a commoner, what can be kept is still left to him - after all, it is partiality!"

Qin An turned around, looked at the two cronies, and said with a smile: "If Qin Ming knows that his current situation is inseparable from the Jian family, what do you think he will do?"

The cronies exchanged glances, bowed and replied, "Your Highness is wise."

There was a smile on Qin An's lips, "Let's do it."

"Yes."

Soon, the former second prince and now common man Qin Ming received a "reliable" tip.

According to the newspaper, Jian Zhenxi planned the explosion of Zhuangzi in the south of the city at the beginning, and the purpose was to plant filth and frame him.

Qin Ming squeezed the note in his hand, and roared with a ferocious expression: "I knew it! This thing must be done by the crown prince, it must be him!"

"What's the benefit of Jian Zhenxi's doing this? Isn't it just to curry favor with the prince in the end?"

"Qin Xiang, Qin Xiang, do you think you can win the throne if you knock me down?"

Qin Ming knocked over the glazed cup on the table with one hand, his expression was almost crazy, "I just won't make your wish come true!"

***

October [-]th, Jingyuan Palace.

There used to be a lake next to the rockery in the garden. Because of a small accident at the Qixi Festival, the emperor asked someone to fill it up.

Following the queen's instructions, the gardener in the palace built a platform here, and planted red plums around it, making it a good place for banquets and sightseeing.

His Royal Highness King Ping did not come, he just sent congratulatory gifts.

The seat of His Royal Highness was originally placed at the head of the empress, followed by Tuoba Yongjun and Jian Xiaoshi. The married princes and princesses all sat across from each other with their families.

Qin Xiang wanted to be next to Jian Hao, so he switched positions with Tuoba Yongjun. Fortunately, today is not a formal occasion, so this small change is harmless.

After the congratulatory gifts were presented, they began to eat and drink.

During the staggering of toasts, everyone has their own thoughts.Looking at the whole table, the only one who was eating wholeheartedly was Jian Xiaoshi.

Taking advantage of the emperor's inattention, Qin Xiang wanted to speak to him from time to time.

Jian Hao noticed that there was a thick soup on the food table in front of him. In the milky white soup, black fish bodies were looming.

Xiao Shizi Jian sniffled, pointed at the elegant white porcelain soup cup, and asked in a daze, "What is that?"

Qin Xiang looked in the direction he was pointing, and immediately smiled, "This is the health-preserving black fish soup specially prepared by Doctor Jiang for my father and me. Haohao wants to drink it? —— Dequan, bring it to your son."

The little eunuch responded softly, and got up to serve it.

"No need, I'll see for myself." Jian Hao waved his hands, walked straight to Qin Xiang's desk, grabbed the chopsticks and stirred in the soup bowl.

He remembered the smell, it was indeed a big black fish fed poison...

Jian Hao subconsciously looked left and right - His Highness King Ping was not there.

Hmm...it seems a little unaccustomed to...

He lowered his eyebrows, put the soup cup in the corner, and whispered: "This is not good, you don't want to drink it."

Qin Xiang saw that his complexion was not good, and his expression became a bit dignified, "Haohao thinks there is something wrong with this soup?"

Jian Hao nodded, and added: "You have to trust me."

Qin Xiang grabbed his hand and said without hesitation: "I believe in you."

The two were "looking at each other affectionately", but there was a crisp "boom" from above.

Jian Hao trembled in fright, and accidentally touched the food table, just in time to sweep the fish soup in the corner to the ground.

He looked at the soup that had been spilled all over the floor, and then at the direction from which the sound came - the emperor was sitting at the top, glaring at the two holding hands, and under the table was a broken glazed cup.

Qin Xiang withdrew his hand embarrassingly.

The queen said at the right time, "It's all the fault of the concubine. It's not good to prepare any cups. I just took a few glass ones. I can't hold them when it's cold..."

There was a faint smile on her face, as if she didn't notice the tense atmosphere around her, "Come here, hurry up and clean it up, the prince will also pick it up carefully, don't leave any fragments."

A group of attendants hurriedly responded and tidied up their hands and feet quickly.

The emperor also quickly adjusted his complexion, and frowned indistinctly—for some reason, his heart was aroused for a while, and he flared up in front of everyone—this is not like him.

Jian Hao curled his lips, and just as he was about to return to his position, a cold light suddenly flashed across his eyes.

The palace servant who was picking up the tiles jumped up suddenly, drew a sharp knife from his sleeve, and attacked Qin Xiang without hesitation.

The opponent's movements were so fast that the surrounding Feilongwei had no time to react.

Tuoba Yongjun's complexion changed, he grabbed a wine cup and threw it towards the assassin.

However, before the wine cup arrived, the assassin groaned.

The flashing sharp blade fell to the ground with a bang, and was immediately kicked away by the flying guards.

The crazy assassin was held tightly, with broken cloth hanging on his arm, revealing four deep scratch marks.

Jian Hao raised his paw in a daze, his furry ears stood up straight, and against the backdrop of the lantern, the tip of the paw shone with dazzling silver light.

Everyone present showed a look of shock.
