The prince is hard to serve

First, the eldest prince died early, and later, Yun Jing died in battle, and finally, even Empress Zhuang, whom she had always regarded as her younger sister, passed away suddenly, and people around her had accidents one after another. Since then, Concubine Xian has been somewhat discouraged Cold, start a mental Buddha.

She set up a Buddhist hall in Linyue Palace, chanting sutras and chanting for the eldest prince, empress Zhuang, and Yunjing every day, hoping that they will be happy and healthy in the next life, and never meet their heavenly family or enter the heavenly family.

Although Concubine Xian lives in the Linyue Palace, very close to Emperor Yan's bedroom, the location is very good, but because she lives in seclusion all year round, she hardly cares about world affairs, like an invisible person, even Emperor Yan often forgets about her and rarely comes here, so, Her place was very quiet.

Regarding this, Concubine Degui and Concubine Liang are naturally happy to see the result.

At that time, in Linyue Palace, apart from a wet nurse who had been serving Concubine Xian since childhood, there were only two maids and two eunuchs serving her. It was sparsely populated and very deserted, but Concubine Xian was very satisfied.

She originally liked quietness, rather than crowded and noisy places, and for her, this was the best.

When Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenjin arrived at Linyue Palace, Concubine Xian had just finished reciting scriptures and was about to rest for a while before going back to the Buddhist hall to copy scriptures. He was taken aback for a moment, and then, a gentle smile slowly appeared on his usually expressionless face, and even the originally cold eyes became gentle instantly.

"Hurry up and prepare some refreshments." After telling the nanny to remember the respective tastes of Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenjin, and not to serve the wrong cakes, Concubine Xian summoned a court lady, turned around and walked into the inner room to change. A clean dress.

She was chanting scriptures earlier, and she was wearing a pure white robe.

Changed into simple and neat clothes, and inserted a simple white jade hairpin to fix her black hair. When she came out, Yan Wenhao and Yan Wenjin were already standing side by side in the hall.

As soon as Yan Wenjin saw Concubine Xian, she immediately turned into a coquettish big dog. After taking a few strides, she began to wag her tail and her eyes sparkled: "Mother Concubine, let's see who I'm bringing to see you!" La la." As he spoke, he pointed his hand back, with an expression like presenting a treasure.

Patting him on the head lightly, Concubine Xian couldn't help laughing, with a loving look in her eyes, "You're so big, how come you still look like a child."

"hey-hey."

Rubbing her big head against Concubine Xian's shoulder, Yan Wenjin smiled and said, "No matter how old I am, I am still a child in front of Concubine Mother."

"Silly boy."

Smiling and shaking her head, Concubine Xian turned her gaze to Yan Wenhao, seeing his appearance after he had faded from his weakness, she was slightly stunned for a moment, a flash of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, she was silent for a while, and finally After recovering, he said, "Wen Hao, are you here? Come and sit down."

Concubine Xian's appearance, although not as good as Concubine Degui's alluring and radiant looks, nor the beauty and charm of Concubine Liang, can only be regarded as upper-middle-class talent at best, but she is a general who has practiced martial arts since childhood Between them, there is naturally a sassy air.

What's more, she used to be a well-known talented woman in the capital city. She was brilliant, amazingly talented, and naturally arrogant in her bones. Now, after so many years of precipitation, the years have favored her very much, not only did she not lose a little bit of her elegance , on the contrary, the temperament is getting colder and colder, like a proud snow and a cold plum, a pine on a high mountain, people will be attracted unconsciously, and they are reluctant to look away.

Noticing the flash of nostalgia in Concubine Xian's eyes, Yan Wenhao did not show any surprise. He always knew that Concubine Xian and his mother grew up together since childhood, and they had a very good relationship, as close as sisters.

With his lips curled up and a gentle smile, Yan Wenhao slightly bent over and saluted Xianfei: "Mother Concubine."

Patting his big head on the shoulder, signaling him to sit down, Concubine Xian looked at Yan Wenhao again, with a puzzled tone: "Why didn't Ziling come with you?"

"Qian He has been feeling unwell lately..." Yan Wenhao repeated what he had just said to Yan Wenzhi.

"Why are you so inattentive?" Concubine Xian frowned slightly, and said with worry: "Then is he better today?"

"It's much better." After a pause, Yan Wenhao smiled slightly and said, "When the humility is better, I will bring him to see you."

Concubine Xian smiled, shook her head, and said softly: "Don't worry, let him take good care of himself."

After pondering for a while, she thought for a while, and then said: "I heard that His Majesty has handed over Lord Li's case to you for trial, and also ordered you to return to the court. You have just recovered from your illness. Don’t worry too much when you’re in the hospital, handling the case is important, but your body is even more important, take good care of yourself, remember?”

Yan Wenjin curled her lips, brought a large head closer, curled her lips, and muttered: "Mother Concubine, you are so wordy, the second elder brother understands these things, let alone imperial doctor Pei and sister-in-law watching .”

Pushing his big head away, Yan Wenhao took a piece of pastry that had just been delivered and stuffed it into his mouth, and softly reprimanded him: "Sit better, don't cross your legs."

Yan Wenjin chewed the pastry, puffed her cheeks, saw her second brother's majestic expression, immediately put her feet down, and sat very upright.

Seeing this, Concubine Xian let out a snort and laughed out loud. She shook her head helplessly and smiled very heartily: "You are so obedient only in front of Wen Hao."

Yan Wenjin's eyes brightened, she scratched her head, and said with a naive smile: "Hey, I also listen to my concubine's words."

Yan Wenhao's eyes were also stained with a little smile, he looked at Concubine Xian again, bent his eyebrows at her, and replied seriously: "I will pay attention to these, mother concubine, you don't need to worry about me."

For Yan Wenhao, he is not at all disgusted by Concubine Xian's tireless worries and nagging, on the contrary, he actually likes it very much——

Because, from these words, he could feel the warmth of a mother's love, and he knew that Concubine Xian really cared about him and was really doing his best.

Nodding with a smile, she personally poured a cup of tea for him. Concubine Xian thought for a while, and said again: "Wen Hao, there is one more sentence, you must keep it in mind, don't be impatient in everything, every bit, every drop, don't worry. Leaving the handle is the most important thing.”

Knowing the sound of Concubine Xian's words, Yan Wenhao suppressed the smile on his face, solemnly replied, "Mother Concubine, I understand."

After staying in Linyue Palace for half an hour, Yan Wenhao got up and was about to leave.

"Wen Hao."

Before leaving, Concubine Xian called him to stop, and said: "Stay here and have lunch together, I'll cook you your favorite dishes."

"No, let's eat the dishes cooked by my concubine some other day." Yan Wenhao refused with a smile, his tone became very gentle, and his eyes were filled with soft light. He said softly: "I promised to be modest and to accompany you He had lunch with him."

This kind of tone made Concubine Xian feel something sensitively. She raised her head and looked at Yan Wenhao carefully. When she saw the undisguised tenderness in his eyes, she couldn't help being startled. Soon, there was something in her heart. made a guess——

Yan Wenhao may have fallen in love with Mu Ziling.

Her expression became a bit complicated, she looked at Yan Wenhao, thought for a while, and hesitated for a long time before saying slowly: "In that case, then you can go back."

Pursing her lips and thinking for a while, Concubine Xian stood up again, she walked slowly to Yan Wenhao, raised her eyes, her eyes were full of kindness: "There are still some things, Concubine Mother wants to tell you Say it."

"You say."

"Wen Hao, I asked you something, you have to answer me honestly."

Staring at him intently, Concubine Xian hesitated for a while, patted Yan Wenhao's shoulder lightly, and then said softly: "You, but you fell in love with Mu Ziling?

Hearing this, Yan Wenhao nodded without any hesitation. He looked straight into Concubine Xian's eyes and said seriously: "Concubine Mother, I like him, I shouldn't say that I love him."

"Sure enough."

Sighing lightly, Concubine Xian turned sideways and looked into the distance with long and far-reaching eyes. She said slowly, "Mu Ziling is a man of unparalleled beauty. He is the proud son of heaven. He has a bright future and a bright future." , because of you, but trapped in this palace wall, without freedom, no matter how difficult it is to become an official..."

After pondering for a while, she said seriously: "Wen Hao, you need to think clearly, the thing you have been pursuing cannot coexist with Mu Ziling, if you want him, you must sacrifice your pursuit; if you If you choose that, you can only give up Mu Ziling...you can't have both of them."

Concubine Xian has always known what Yan Wenhao is doing, and also knows what he wants and pursues.

But the reality is cruel, and the two must not be able to have both, otherwise, Emperor Yan would not allow it, and the courtiers would not allow it.

"No, concubine mother, I will not give up on that matter and Ziling, I will also get it, there must be a way to get the best of both worlds, I will think of it!" Yan Wenhao's eyes were firm, and his face was full of tears. It is imperative.

Seeing his expression, Concubine Xian was a little dazed. She seemed to recall that handsome and unparalleled figure many years ago, standing straight in front of her, with the same expression and the same tone. , told her he had to go.

In the end, he strengthened his belief, not only guarding the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles, but also guarding that person... However, he himself never returned.

It is said that a nephew is like an uncle.

How can it be so similar?

Even the gender of the person they like is exactly the same.

With eyes lowered and sighing, Concubine Xian's voice softened, she said softly: "If that's the case, you should treat him better, even better."

After a pause, she went on to say: "You are all men, if you really like him, you have to promise him the future, the promise and happiness of his life, love is a matter of a lifetime, and it is also a matter of two people. There was the insertion of a third person."

She wanted to tell Yan Wenhao that she was also reminding him that when dealing with feelings, he needs to be single-minded, not fraternal, let alone half-hearted, and don't let himself become the second Emperor Yan.

※※※

When Mu Ziling woke up, it was almost noon.

Rubbing his painful forehead, he sat up slowly, his eyes were blank, the Xiao's voice from last night was still lingering in his mind, lingering.After sitting in a daze for a while, he slowly came back to his senses. Then, he remembered the suspiciousness of Duoyuan last night, and he couldn't help feeling a little more worried.

Duo Yuan is Fu Quan's adoptive son, and is highly valued by Yan Wenhao. If Duo Yuan is someone from other forces, it will be extremely detrimental to Yan Wenhao.

He is trusted, and it is too easy to do it.

Frowning, Mu Ziling put on his clothes and stood up. He called for Duan Yuan, but he hadn't seen Duan Yuan come in for a long time, so he hurriedly called other palace servants and asked, "Where is Duan Yuan?"

A young eunuch replied respectfully: "Eunuch Fu went to court with His Highness today, so Eunuch Du will prepare His Highness's meals."

Afraid that Duo Duo would tamper with the meal, Mu Ziling panicked immediately, and he asked quickly, "Where is Your Highness?"

Although Mu Ziling told himself repeatedly in his heart that he would take back his affection for Yan Wenhao and stop paying attention to him, he still couldn't turn a blind eye and let him suffer any harm.

Even just a hypothetical guess made him anxious.

"Your Highness hasn't come back yet." Somewhat unclear, the little eunuch raised his eyes, glanced at Mu Ziling cautiously, and said in a low voice, "May the concubine want to eat first?"

"No need."

Knowing that Yan Wenhao hadn't returned yet, Mu Ziling breathed a sigh of relief. He collected his thoughts, pursed his lips, put on his clothes in a hurry, and then walked out quickly without saying a word——

He needs to tell Yan Wenhao to be careful about diversity.
