Later, I became the prince of the group

As soon as Liu Qi got into the carriage, the calmness and indifference he had put on just now disappeared completely, his head was drooping as if he was about to cry, and his fingers clasped the edge of the seat tightly.

Chu Yan thought that he was slandered first, and the onlookers watched his jokes unanimously, and then learned that his friend had betrayed him. Thinking about it, he felt very sad, and his heart softened for a while, covering Liu Qi's hand, coaxing a child patted his back.

This action made Liu Qi find support, he snuggled up and hugged Chu Yan tightly, as if he wanted to suffocate himself in Chu Yan's chest.

Just like a child who fell down and was touched on the head by an elder, he was relieved but at the same time he wanted to vent all his grievances. This time he couldn't stop his tears anymore.

Chu Yan quietly let Liu Qi hold her, but didn't make a sound to comfort her.

After a while, he heard the person in his arms say something in a low, intermittent voice, crying, and repeated it twice with a trembling voice.

It was hard for Chu Yan to recognize the sentence: They are all gone, only you still want me.

After returning to the palace and listening to the guard's report, Chu Yan knew where the words came from.

It turned out that Liu Qi went out early in the morning, hurriedly finished the business at the shop, and went back to Liu's mansion first.He no longer bears any grudges against his family, only misses him. At first, Madam Liu was worried that he had suffered some kind of grievance to come back to his natal family, but after listening carefully, she just wanted to visit her parents because she had free time, so she endured it. He couldn't help pointing out: "Xiaoqi, it's not that mother doesn't miss you. During the days you left, mother can't sleep well every day, and she always misses you, but there's nothing I can do. If you always run to your mother's house Let's not talk about whether it is reasonable or not, whether the prince will be unhappy or something, I am afraid that the official will be over-hearted if he finds out, and he will treat your father and the prince badly at that time. My son, if there is nothing important in the future, Just restrain yourself, okay?"

Liu Qi didn't expect his mother to have such a reaction. He understood these principles in his heart, but he still couldn't accept that he was raised by admiring him.Then he cheered up and went to visit the homes of a group of friends. His group of friends had previously avoided suspicion because he was a "prince to be married", and they didn't come to him for some days. They just coaxed Liu Qi to wait for him to get married. Reunion.But this time, these friends who have been playing since childhood all hesitated, saying that he is a princess, and it is not good to have anything to do with them, so as not to cause misunderstanding, and that he is already a royal, and he has to do everything. Considering his status, he can no longer lead them, a group of dandies, to make troubles like before, and Liu Qi has been uniformly excluded from the conversation.

After bumping into many houses in a row, Liu Qi's shock and anger at the beginning turned into embarrassment and depression later on. He happily made calculations for this rare leisure time, but he didn't expect that these calculations would be useless .

He didn't want to go back to the cage-like palace, and he had nowhere else to go, so he reserved a private room in Liuyun Tower and ordered the guards to guard outside the private room. The whole city was lively all afternoon.

Zhu Shengyou came after Liu Qi, and many people were dissatisfied with him for bringing the cat to the restaurant, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to talk too much because of the power of the Zhu family.

Hearing the noise outside, Liu Qi felt irritable, so he opened the door and exchanged words with him, but Zhu Shengyou also said at this time that the cat belonged to the imperial concubine, and no one else dared to complain, Liu Qi knew it when he saw it If he continued to speak, he would become a villain.

If it was before, he would definitely not care about it, how he felt happy, but the words of his mother and old friends lingered in his ears, reminding him all the time that now he and the palace are both prosperous and damaged, so he didn't want to ask for trouble. Change the private room to the fourth floor to find a clean place.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shengyou directed and acted in that matter afterwards.

The guard said: "The concubine just wanted to be quiet by herself, except for the time when changing the private room, she had never been out of the house from the beginning to the end, how could she have thought that she was blocked by those people when she was about to go home! "

After thinking for a while, Chu Yan asked the guards to come closer and made arrangements in a low voice. Finally, he asked the guard who had been called to the backyard to come in and ask him to take twenty boards by himself.

The guard was stunned for a moment, with some joy on his face.

Chu Yan didn't notice, his eyes fell on the scroll, and he explained lightly: "People have three urgencies, it's human nature, and even if you don't go to the backyard, this may not happen. Zhu Shengyou must have spotted the guards. Every half an hour to report back to the palace, I sent people to find the cat first, and at the same time arranged for witnesses on the road, intending to leave the dead cat near the palace, and then look for the cat with great fanfare afterwards, it is best to make a fuss until everyone knows It’s just that you just gave them a safer chance.”

"I have no reason to punish you, but after all, you have followed other people's ways and let the princess fall into a trap. If you don't punish you, I'm afraid the people at the bottom will be lucky enough to not care enough about the safety of the princess in the future, so these twenty boards are always You have to suffer, do you understand?"

The guard immediately said: "This subordinate is willing to be punished."

"Call your colleagues to execute the sentence, and you will be imprisoned, go."

The guards withdrew respectfully, thinking to themselves that twenty boards are nothing to rough-skinned gentlemen like them, not to mention that if the prince doesn't imprison him personally, his colleagues will show mercy.These twenty boards are just for others to read. In the future, everyone will know that the prince has rules here, but they will not be dissatisfied with this matter.

After dealing with this side, Chu Yan ordered the kitchen to put the dinner in the West Courtyard, took out a plaque from the study, and went to find Liu Qi.

Young Master Liu had already eaten a little in the restaurant before, and he had no appetite. Now, for the first time, he was consciously copying the article that he was going to learn tomorrow.

In order for Liu Qi to be able to write, read and write whenever he felt like it, Chu Yan set up a complete set of desks outside his room, and this was the first time it came in handy.

Liu Qi still looked a little lonely, and when he saw Chu Yan, he just raised his eyes and didn't speak.

His excessively scribbled handwriting betrayed his inattention and distraction.

Chu Yan only took a few glances at him, then went out, called for servants, and nailed the plaque outside the courtyard gate.

It didn't take long for Liu Qi to be attracted by the sound of knocking and knocking. When he saw it, there were three words "Jianmingju" written on the sign.

"Have you lost the name of the courtyard?" Liu Qi raised some interest, with a nasal sound in his voice.

Chu Yan said: "I only named this courtyard, and the emperor personally inscribed it, and I will talk about it later."

"Jianming." Liu Qi asked, "Do you want me to become a blockbuster?"

Chu Yan took his hand back to the house, and said as he walked, "No, these two words are to remind me to see your excellence."

Liu Qi made a self-deprecating "sneer": "Is there still something special about me?"

Chu Yan was silent for a while.

When they walked into the house, the servants retreated to the outside to guard, and then Chu Yan opened his mouth: "Last July, you had an argument with Mr. Jiao's mansion, and you damaged the tables, chairs, doors and windows of the restaurant. Afterwards, the shopkeeper asked you for compensation. You But he ordered his servants to beat the shopkeeper violently, so he paid double the money."

Liu Qi was taken aback, and quickly explained: "The shopkeeper is a relative of Jiao Mingye, and he came to bully me like a dog, and he wanted to extort 20 taels of silver from me!"

Chu Yan grabbed his shoulders and signaled him not to worry: "Last September, you beat up a poor man on the street, and whipped him to the point where blood dripped from him, and the people all over the street saw it."

"That man is not a thing. He tortured his sister and sold her to a brothel! Believe me!" Liu Qi couldn't be in a hurry.

He thinks he is not superior, but he is not a bad person either. Anyone can misunderstand him, but Chu Yan... Chu Yan still protected him before...

Chu Yan softened his tone: "I believe you, you insulted a woman on the street last March because that woman was once a servant of your uncle's cousin who took money from your concubine and caused your cousin to have a child. ?”

Liu Qi stared at him blankly.

Chu Yan: "I have the ability to find out the truth after a little investigation, but the people don't know that you are innocent. If you act purely based on your temper, you will either damage your father's reputation or be used by someone with a heart."

Liu Qi has heard this a lot, but when Chu Yan said it, it was inexplicably heavy. He said coyly, "I won't do those things anymore, and I won't cause trouble for you."

"No, I'm not afraid of you acting out of righteousness. On the contrary, there's nothing wrong with being a high-spirited bully just like before." Chu Yan looked at Liu Qi seriously.Although he has never seen what the little bully is like in the mouths of others, he will never cry easily, be unhappy all day long, and carefully restrain his temper.

"It's just that it can't be exactly the same as before. If you are ignorant and inexperienced, you will only be followed by some idiots who are ungrateful for profit, so you have to learn some principles first, and then there will naturally be excellent people attracted to you. I will meet you in the future For similar things, you won't be at a disadvantage, won't fight alone, won't leave excuses for yourself, and won't suffer from boredom."

Liu Qi understood, and accurately extracted the key point: "Oh, I understand, I just want to study anyway."

Chu Yan knew that he didn't understand well enough, but he was not in a hurry to make him understand, so he smiled and said: "Don't blame me for forcing you, I don't want you to learn something, but you have to be an adult, others like this You have already learned a lot of truths at this age, if you continue like this, sooner or later you will be excluded, and maybe one day you will be used by others without knowing it."

Liu Qi curled his lips, thinking why you are more eloquent than my father.

Chu Yan changed the subject again: "Speaking of which, these days, I can't stand beside you, but you have some talent for painting. If you want, you can spend more time learning painting in the future."

Liu Qi muttered in a low voice, "Why can't I die?"

"Oh, don't want to?"

"willing!"

Drawing is much more interesting than studying, how can I not want to.

Chu Yan immediately asked Xinqing to arrange for someone to convert a space in the classroom and study room for painting, and to find a teacher for Liu Qi.

After the arrangements were made, Chu Yan suddenly called him by an intimate name: "Aqi, let's live together in the same room in the future."

Liu Qi looked at him in a daze: "Why?"

The fact that Chu Yan didn’t have sex with him really bothered him for a while, but he forgot about it when he turned his head. Anyway, Chu Yan didn’t seem to hate himself. Although he was a bit stricter, he was still a good person... ...not to mention how comfortable it is to sleep alone!

Even now, when he heard this, he felt a little reluctant.

Chu Yan said: "There are people from the father, the queen and the queen in the mansion. It's better for us to live together, lest they think that we are not in harmony."

Liu Qi thought secretly: It wasn't very harmonious in the first place.

Chu Yan said again: "What's more, today's incident is ultimately my fault. I blamed me for not being close to you, causing rumors to spread, making outsiders mistakenly think that I don't value you, and that you are easy to bully."

Liu Qi even forgot to correct "I'm not easy to bully", and asked in surprise, "You...do you value me?"

Chu Yan said rightly: "You are the young master Liu whom I am marrying, and you will be my closest family member in the future. How can I not value you?"

He didn't say the princess, but "Mr. Liu".

Liu Qi couldn't help but think of the wedding night, Chu Yan also called him that, but at that time most of them were teasing, but now he has a sense of seriousness, but it seems not so serious, which arouses a lot of mixed thoughts in life, The ears are numb.

The reluctance in my heart was instantly crushed.

Liu Qi avoided his sight in a panic, pretending to be indifferent and said: "Then, let's live together, anyway, you have the final say on your family..."

Chu Yan stared into his eyes: "It's also your home."

Liu Qi bowed his head and said nothing, Chu Yan only thought that he was not used to it, and still regarded the Liu Mansion where he grew up as his only home, but when he was about to change the subject, Liu Qi suddenly raised his eyes, nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes my home."

Others: Hope your child will become a dragon.

Chu Yan: I hope my son will become a tyrannosaurus rex.

Wait, where did it come from.
