The three of them didn't take a few steps out of the garden before they met Empress Zheng surrounded by everyone.

Gao Yuan's smile that was still on his face just now dissipated, and he walked a few steps forward with his head slightly lowered, and said in a low voice, "Mother's queen."

Empress Zheng raised her eyes, looked past Gao Yuan to the two people behind her, and finally stopped on Rong Yan's face, with a puzzled look on her face.

Gao Cong, who was by her side, said, "Mother, this is the King Wei Guoxuan."

Rong Yan showed a slight smile, saluted and greeted: "Rong Yan has seen the empress."

Empress Zheng was not interested in Rong Yan, the protégé of Wei, she nodded her head and looked away, and finally turned back to Gao Yuan: "When you get older, you don't obey the rules."

Gao Yuan lowered his head and looked at his feet without responding.

Empress Zheng obviously didn't expect her answer, and turned to Gao Cong: "Seeing that Yuan'er has reached his age, your father is too busy with government affairs to take care of such trivial matters. As the eldest brother, if you see someone from a clean family background, The good-natured young master of the same age also helps to pay attention to one or two things. The marriage is arranged as soon as possible, and it will save her from being a female celebrity in the palace every day, and only thinking about wielding swords and swords."

Gao Yuan raised his head abruptly, and then slowly looked away, without showing any emotion on his face, but his fingers tightly hooked his cuffs.

Gao Cong took her small movements into his eyes, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Gao Chun likes to meddle in such nosy matters, why don't the queen mother leave it to him?"

Empress Zheng was very dissatisfied with his attitude, and reprimanded: "You are the eldest son of the emperor, how can you leave everything to others."

"Okay, okay, the queen mother said, and the son will follow suit. Isn't it just that the family background is clean, the conduct is good, and the age is the same..." Gao Cong raised his eyes casually, and suddenly pointed to Liang Ji who was a few steps away, "Isn't Liang Ji It's just right, I remember that when my sister was young, every time she met him entering the palace, she would pester him to play with him, so you and your father who know everything can rest assured."

Liang Ji looked up slightly, and noticed that Rong Yan's eyes were focused on his face, and said calmly: "This matter is related to the princess's life, Your Highness should be cautious. It should not be..." He paused slightly, "Take Make fun of the princess's childhood ignorance."

Gao Cong snorted softly: "You are so boring, even if the empress father and mother want to point out the imperial sister to you, I would not be happy." He turned his eyes, "If you want to say that you are interesting and suitable for marriage, you might as well It's an honor to be on the side."

"It's okay Your Highness makes fun of me, but the daughter of the princess will be shy." Rong Yan smiled slightly and raised his head, just in time to meet Liang Ji's gaze.

"Okay!" Empress Zheng tapped Gao Cong's hand, "If you want to pay more attention, don't make jokes. It's getting late, Yuan'er, go back to the palace."

"My son will send you off."

Empress Zheng supported Gao Cong's arm, and turned away with a group of servants. Gao Yuan quietly glanced at Liang Ji and Rong Yan, and followed before Empress Zheng found out.

Liang Ji turned his head, and Rong Yan was staring at Gao Yuan's back with a thoughtful expression.

"The princess's biological mother was originally a maid in the queen's bedroom. Once the princess was given the title of Shuyi by the Holy Grace, but because of her perverse personality, she was not liked by the Holy One and was thrown into the cold palace. The princess was sent to the Zhaoning Palace when she was young. The queen will teach you." Liang Ji said suddenly, "But no matter how the queen thinks, the princess's marriage is ultimately decided by the Holy One."

Rong Yan looked back, his eyes flickered, and suddenly he smiled softly: "It seems that the general and the princess have quite a relationship."

"Origin is not counted." Liang Ji clasped his hands behind his back and explained, "Before the Holy Majesty succeeded to the throne, I was close friends with my father. I grew up with the two princes and entered the palace many times. The princess has a good nature. Dongxi Wu, often pestering me to learn martial arts."

Rong Yan blinked, then turned his head suddenly to avoid the other party's gaze: "You don't have to tell me so clearly about the personal relationship between General Liang and the princess."

"This matter is related to Princess Qingyu." Liang Ji lowered his gaze slightly, "Otherwise, why does Your Highness think I have to explain so much?"

Rong Yan: "..."

He rubbed his hands, and his tone became impatient: "Isn't it going to be a banquet, why don't you leave?"

For a while, Rong Yan's hand was already slightly red from the cold, Liang Ji glanced at it, moved the hand behind his back, but he didn't stretch it out after all, he just said: "Your Highness and that little drug boy just hit it off. "

Rong Yan was silent for a while, put his hands in his sleeves, turned and left.

Although the previous and present lives are very different, this kind of banquet is still the same boring, if there is no comparison, it is probably because Rong Yan has already handled such an occasion with ease.

Compared with him, Liang Ji, who had been drinking tea alone in the corner, seemed a bit out of place.

The wine is scattered.

Rong Yan got up to bid farewell to Gao Chun, followed the other guests out of the mansion, looked around at the gate of Prince Ji's mansion, looking for his own carriage.

Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder from behind, Rong Yan turned around abruptly, saw Liang Ji's face sinking like water, and asked in a daze, "What's the matter with General Liang?"

Liang Ji nodded, and stuffed a sleeve stove into his hand: "I'll take you home."

"No need." The warm temperature spread from the sleeve stove, Rong Yan raised his head and looked around uncomfortably, and finally saw the figure of UBS, "It's still early, it's hard to go out, I still have to go around the city Turn around, don't bother General Liang."

He lowered his head and glanced at the sleeve stove in his hand, hesitating again and again, but he was not willing to return it after all, but said: "Thank you very much."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liang Ji to answer, he walked quickly towards the carriage.

Ruiyin was waiting beside the carriage, when he saw Rong Yan approaching, he immediately reached out to help him, subconsciously glanced at him, and asked strangely, "My lord, did you take the wrong sleeve stove with someone at the banquet today?"

Hearing this, Rong Yan couldn't help but turned his head and glanced at Prince Ji's mansion.

In the cold wind, Liang Ji stood at the gate of Prince Ji's mansion, with a straight back and a calm expression, just like the mighty snow lion in Rongyan Courtyard, which looked silent and reliable.

Originally such a person belonged to him, thinking of this, Rong Yan inexplicably felt a little sad.

It's just that those who have passed can't be persuaded. From the moment of rebirth, he is completely separated from the past life.

Rong Yan withdrew his gaze, supported UBS's arm and got into the carriage: "I'm not going back home, I'm going to the southwest of the city."

The location of that restaurant was really remote, the driver walked through the streets and alleys under Rong Yan's guidance, and finally found the right place after a long detour.

UBS got out of the carriage first, looked around, looked at the simple front of the restaurant, and hesitated, "Why do you want to come here, sir?"

"I drank some wine at the banquet and didn't eat a few bites. I felt very uncomfortable in my stomach." Rong Yan got off the carriage and explained to UBS, "The owner of this restaurant is from Wei just like me. .”

UBS has always felt that this young man of his family left home alone and came to Xu country to be lonely and pitiful. Hearing what he said, he immediately felt that he missed his homeland after going to the banquet today, and immediately stepped forward to open the door for him.

As soon as the two of them entered the door, someone greeted them: "What do you two want to eat?"

Rong Yan raised his eyes and saw Li Ye in a bunt. He slightly hooked his lips, and his smile disappeared in an instant: "Bring me a bowl of hangover soup, and then serve two side dishes casually."

Li Ye scanned Rong Yan's body up and down, and nodded lightly after confirming that he was fine: "Two sit down."

UBS wiped the tables and chairs before letting Rong Yan sit down: "This store is really too remote, is there not much people coming here on weekdays? Didn't the steward always want to hire a cook who is good at cooking Wei dishes for you?" Why don't you invite this store owner back to the mansion, so that you can save the icy young master from coming here?"

"My husband and wife open a small shop, although they are not rich, but they are comfortable and comfortable." Rong Yan's eyes flickered slightly, "What's more, who said that no one came? In this Longcheng, there are always people like me who are far away from their homeland and can't return. , there must always be a place where they can have a bite of hometown food."

UBS thought about it seriously, and then nodded: "Young master is right."

Rong Yan looked at him and laughed, then turned his head and glanced behind him: "It's freezing outside, go ask the store for a jug of warm wine, send it to the driver, and let him drink it to warm himself."

"Okay, my lord." UBS was always diligent, and immediately went to ask for a drink and left the house.

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Li Ye came out from the back kitchen, and was about to salute when Rong Yan stopped him with his gaze, so he could only lower his voice: "Your Highness, is that boy still reliable?"

"Swift, smart and sensible, don't worry." Rong Yan looked at Li Ye with a smile, "It seems that you are doing well here?"

"The shopkeeper and his wife are rare good people, don't worry, Your Highness." Li Ye took out a secret letter from his arms while talking, "Fang Qu was imprisoned in Dali Temple after arriving in Lingzhou, but no one has been interrogated. See Just as His Highness thought, Rong Xuan did this on purpose, wanting to delay for a while before trying to find a way to get him out."

Rong Yan opened the secret letter, read it carefully, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "It's a pity that Fang Qu, who will return to him at that time, may not be in the same heart as him."

Li Ye responded: "The Marquis of Huai'an has settled Fang Qu's family properly according to your instructions before, and did not let them be implicated. He even arranged for them to go to Dali Temple to meet Fang Qu."

"Did Rong Xuan not respond?"

"He should have no time to take care of such trivial matters." Li Ye said, "He is planning Enke, and wants to recruit some Han people to serve as officials."

Rong Yan was not surprised.

Since Rongxuan ascended the throne, he has paid tribute to the state of Xu externally and quelled chaos and cleaned up the mess internally.After Qi Ke, who was stationed in Yining, received Rong Xuan's award and received the title of the Southwest King, the internal chaos in Wei State had gradually calmed down—of course, on the surface.

Rong Xuan was enthroned by the support of the family, and now all the important positions in the court are occupied by the children of the family. He is an emperor with superficial prestige, but in fact he is always hindered by others.Rongxuan was eager to change the status quo, and his first choice was Kai Enke, who would reuse the Han clan's children to grasp the secrets of the court and cultivate his own power step by step.

He did this in the previous life, so naturally there will be no change in this life.

This is also the reason why Rong Yan secretly asked Li Ye to contact the Marquis of Huai'an who had been entrenched here for generations as soon as he arrived in Lingzhou after his rebirth.

Now everything is as he expected, even if he does nothing next, Rong Xuan will push these people to his side step by step.

"Then let's wait and see," Rong Yan said, "Let's see if Rong Xuan has the ability to save the current situation of Wei Guo from being riddled with holes."

"So shall we do something else?"

"Don't worry, wait for Rong Xuan to make a move, and we'll just push it."

Rong Yan took a sip of the hot tea poured by Li Ye, and suddenly said: "When you are free, go and send a letter to Qi Ke's people, saying that I saw his young master today, let them Tell Qi Ke, I will do what I promised him, and I will help take care of that young master of their family when he is in Longcheng, so that he can rest and recuperate in Yining with peace of mind—after all, the future will be long."
