The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 18

Because he was concerned about Nanny Yang and the others, Xu Changan had no intention of learning how to ride a horse, and stayed in his yard, anxiously waiting for Xiao Qingyan to come back.

After reading the sleeping brochure prepared by the princess, Steward Zhu really wanted to remind the princess that he had gone too far. How could he only arrange two days for himself as a princess? Take ten days.But Butler Zhu didn't say anything in the end. He expected that his prince would not agree to this arrangement, and he also wanted the princess to recognize his identity through this matter. Sometimes it's not a good thing to belittle yourself for the convenience of others.

If nothing happened at court, it would be very early for Xiao Qingyan to return home.Xu Chang'an had already told the girl to pay attention, as long as the prince returned to the mansion, he would tell him immediately.

"Princess, the prince is back."

"Go to the study room, let's go.?" Xiao Qingyan would not go to the backyard first when he returned home. He heard from the girls that he would not even go to the backyard once in a few days. Xu Changan sometimes thought curiously, Xiao Qingyan, a big man, would rather sleep in a cold study than go to his concubine Ji, is there something wrong with his body.

"My lord, you seem very happy today." Zhu Quan would follow Xiao Qingyan to the court every day, but he could only wait outside, he didn't know what happened to the court.

Today, since his prince came down to court, he noticed that the prince is in a good mood today, and he doesn't know if something good happened.

"You have a good look, I am indeed in a good mood today." Xiao Qingyan really did not expect that there would be unexpected gains in the matter of the Xu family.

All the officials in the DPRK and China were dignified, and only their family members knew what they were like when they returned home.As soon as the Xu family incident happened, many officials who favored their concubines and killed their wives had moral problems were involved one after another, and most of these officials were descendants of their natal families.

Xiao Qingyan has already recognized his own destiny. Although his father excluded him from the imperial power, he has no complaints against his father. He has given him too much since he was a child, and he really can't bear any resentment.

But!He won't fight for the position of the crown prince anymore, it doesn't mean he will stand by from now on.The grievances between him and the succeeding faction have not been overnight, the grievances accumulated over the years, if the second prince succeeds in the future, it will definitely not be as good as him and Qing Yu, now he can only do his best to help Qing Yu.

As long as the second prince does not have the support of the forces in the court, there is nothing to fear.

"My lord, Your Highness the Fourth Highness hasn't come to the mansion for quite a while, do you want to send someone over to have a look?" Xiao Qingyu has not yet been crowned king, and is the youngest son, with a lazy and casual temperament. He has been living his small life leisurely, and only comes to Xiao Qingyan's place to hang out from time to time, but now counting the days, it is true that he has not come for quite a while.

"No news is good news, don't worry about him." He said don't worry about it, but Xiao Qingyan was already thinking about how to catch that worthless guy back.He used to have himself, he could be an idle prince as he wished, but now he can no longer.

but……

"Tomorrow, you go to the residence of His Highness the Fourth Highness in person. No matter what method you use, you must bring him here." If it really doesn't work, only... If the person who succeeds in the future is King Jing, it is also the same for their brothers. Better than the second prince.

Xiao Qingyan knew in her heart how much her younger brother weighed, and where her thoughts were.Now that things have come to this point, he can only open the skylight to talk to him.If he is really not interested in that position, if he has no thoughts at all, then he will do his best to support Prince Jing to take the position.

Prince Jing is pure-hearted, and he has always been on good terms with him. Concubine Zhou Gui and the Queen Mother have no old grudges. If Prince Jing ascends the throne in the future, he and his younger brother should be able to live a stable life.

"Yes, my lord. By the way, my lord, my father brought over the roster made up by the princess today and put it on the table. Did you see it?" Zhu Quan had just entered the mansion when someone explained it to him. When he was a child, he was still a little overwhelmed, and it took a while to react, which is what he should be.In the past, the prince didn't get married, nor did he even have a side concubine, so the two palaces sent a girl who was in charge of personnel affairs. Now that there are princesses and side concubines, there will be new people added one after another in the future, so it's time to raise the rules.

Hearing Zhu Quan's words, Xiao Qingyan still couldn't believe it. That Xu Chang'an would do this?

When he walked to his usual office, he saw that there was a booklet on the table. Xiao Qingyan was about to open it, so Xu Changan asked to see him outside.

Looking at the things in front of him, Xiao Qingyan took it for granted that Xu Changan came here because of this matter, but he did not expect that he came here because of a few slaves.

"It's just a few servants. If you don't know the rules, let them know the rules. You are the princess, and since they are your people, they should be punished more severely. You dare to come here to intercede."

Xiao Qingyan's tone was not kind, Xu Changan didn't dare to look at his face at all, so he could only kneel down and apologize, but he continued: "My lord, what happened yesterday has nothing to do with them, I insisted on dragging them to drink with me Yes, the few of them made mistakes because they dared not listen to me, after all, it was all my fault, I broke the rules, if they really have to be punished, I should be punished."

"Presumptuous! As a princess, you actually knelt down and begged for a few servants!" Unexpectedly, Xu Chang'an actually knelt down for a few servants, Xiao Qingyan suddenly felt an unknown anger, and stopped looking at the kneeling people With a glance, he directly ordered Zhu Quandao who was beside him: "Order to go down, throw those slaves and servants out of the palace when they are dead, and if they are still alive, they are not allowed to return to the main courtyard to serve the princess, and all go to the woodshed to work."

Xiao Qingyan's words were full of anger, and his tone was not to be questioned. Xu Changan was so frightened that he sat on the ground directly, his face turned pale immediately, and his hands almost lost all strength.He never thought that the matter would be so serious, he thought they would be released after a few days at most.

How can this happen, how can this happen?

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Your Highness... Please, please..." I have always known that after becoming a royal, life and death, wealth and honor will always be by my side, and if one is not careful, one's life may be lost.However, Xu Changan couldn't think of anything else in his mind at this moment, he only knew that Mammy and the others had suffered today's disaster because of his indulgence and willfulness, he should die, he should die!

Not daring to stay here any longer, Zhu Quan hurried out and closed the door when he went out. It is best not to let others see the appearance of the princess and prince.

"Hmph!" Thinking of the two flowery little girls beside Xu Changan, and seeing Xu Changan's current state, Xiao Qingyan didn't think about it at all. He could only think that those two girls and his princess were not just the master. Servant relationship!

"Your Highness!" Xu Changan no longer cares about being ashamed or not!After kowtowing to Xiao Qingyan three times, he slowly straightened his body, instead of closing his eyes, he tried to keep his eyes clear, looked directly at Xiao Qingyan, and said word by word: "They are not just my mothers and daughters. "

"This king just..."

"They are still my saviors." If it weren't for them in the days when I was in Zhuangzi, I wouldn't have survived to this day.

"My mother passed away three years ago. My father said to the outside world that I went to guard her tomb. In fact, I was expelled from the house by my father and locked up in the farm. The reason why my father did this... is that I discovered that my mother did not die of illness. , but was poisoned to death... It's ridiculous and hateful!

My mother was poisoned to death, my father not only refused to avenge her, but instead covered up the murderer, and even drove me out of the Xu family who knew the truth!My heart was filled with grief at the death of my mother, but my father's attitude made me even more desperate.After going to Zhuangzi, my health has been bad, and the servants have deliberately treated my body harshly, and I have not been able to recover.

In those three years, I suffered from countless illnesses, and the medicine I drank was either paid by them themselves, or Dong Xue personally went to the mountains to pick it for me.At that time, what I ate was not as good as that of a servant, so Mammy and the others saved their rations for me.

Your Highness, I beg you, please don't beat them up, just drive them out of the house, I'm the one who broke the rules, so beat me up.Anyway, without them, I would not be alive today. "I still have my mother's property in my hand, so it's better than being in the palace if the mother and the others go out. And now that I have avenged my revenge, I don't have anything to worry about. Isn't it just a life? One day towards death, there will be such a day anyway, as long as there is no regret in the heart, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Qingyan never expected that he just wanted to deal with a few servants, but he heard what he had already guessed, but the truth was more shocking than he thought!snort!There are such vicious people in this world, it seems that Xu Yongnian's current fate is still too cheap for him!

"Come on!"

"My lord! My lord, someone is looking for my concubine outside. It seems that someone from the concubine's natal family has come, and they want people to come in..."

"No need! Wait, who's here?" Since it was delivered to the door automatically, what can I do if I don't treat it well.

"It seems to be the princess's father and concubine's sister."

"Zhu Quan, the princess is not feeling well. You send the princess back to rest. As for the outside guests... bring them in and let them wait in front of the gate of the princess's courtyard." Xiao Qingyan didn't understand why she wanted to vent her anger on the person who ruined her life. , When the person left, he said with some regret: "Maybe it's because...he is no different from himself."

Since his mother passed away, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of this world. He has to think about his mother's hatred, and he has to do his best to protect his young and ignorant brother.
