i am afraid

Princess Changxuan was only ten years old, and it was the time when she was most beautiful. Even Jiang Yan, who was used to seeing beauties, couldn't help being amazed for a moment, and then silently labeled Marquis Anping a fool in his heart.

Princess Changxuan walked over with a smile, her eyes were eight points like Jiang Yan's, and her gaze was full of flair.She stepped forward and touched Jiang Yan up and down without being polite, and said with emotion: "I lost weight."

Jiang Yan was a little uncomfortable being touched, but thinking that he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, maybe he really missed him, so he had no choice but to keep silent.

Princess Changxuan pulled Jiang Yan to sit down, but he didn't let go of his hand.

"I have wronged my younger brother these days, let alone wait until sixth uncle..."

Jiang Yan interrupted; "Sister, misfortune comes from your mouth."

Princess Changxuan froze for a moment, then smiled: "You are cautious, but what are we afraid of when we talk to our own family? Now the holy will is clear, as long as the sixth uncle returns, the overall situation will be settled."

Jiang Yan was silent, and after a long time, he said hoarsely: "Sister, are you willing?"

Princess Changxuan stopped talking, she sighed softly, "Father's foundation is still there, we will live well."

Jiang Yan didn't know why he suddenly said this like he was insane. He had accepted this fact a long time ago, and he had not resisted these years and allowed the forces of the four directions to turn him into a waste, but in his heart, it really came to an end At this time, he didn't know what it was like again.

"If my father was still there, he wouldn't let you marry Anpinghou." Jiang Yan said dryly, as if he couldn't convince himself, he pursed his lips, and the shadow formed by his eyelashes on his cheek looked a little tempting.

Among the sons of Wangdu, there is only one Marquis of Anping who can still play like crazy after the Lord Shang, if his father is still there, if his father is still here...

Princess Changxuan's eyes suddenly flashed a strange light, she raised her hand to touch Jiang Yan's face, moved closer, and murmured in a low voice; "What kind of person do you think my sister should marry?"

With the beautiful face approaching, Jiang Yan somehow felt a sense of oppression that only Gu Xi and his uncles had. He stepped back in some discomfort, thought for a while, and said, "Naturally, human beings A good man with excellent knowledge and ability from a family background, able to maintain the prosperity of the family on the outside, considerate on the inside, and treat his sister wholeheartedly."

The corners of Princess Changxuan's lips turned up, and a look of worry suddenly slipped in her eyes, "It's a pity that such a good man and sister will never be met in this life, brother, don't want to learn from that Anpinghou."

Jiang Yan instinctively felt that this was a bit weird, but couldn't tell what was weird, so he nodded.

At this time, a gentle male voice whispered in his ear: [If you have such an appearance, and learn to behave like An Pinghou, I don't know how many daughters will be hurt.] Jiang Yan froze, he couldn't help it He took a look around and confirmed that there were only him, his sister and Zhou Ning Yunshang in the living room. He could hear Zhou Ning's voice, but where did this male voice come from?

He looked at his sister's rosy and beautiful face suspiciously, and immediately had a guess, maybe his sister was unbearable for Anpinghou Fengliu, so she had secretly raised her face and hid it nearby.

He felt considerate and didn't mention it, afraid of disturbing his sister's love, he said a few more words to comfort his sister, then got up and left.

It was already late at night when he returned to the palace, and the curfew was not strict at first, but these days the front line is tight, and the capital is jittery, even if he brought the token out of the palace, he was interrogated several times before he was released.

"Those people just bully the young master with a good temper." Zhou Ning frowned, turned around and pouted: "I saw it last time, King Qin's chariot entered the palace in the middle of the night. Don't even dare to fart!"

Jiang Yan did not comment on this.

The influence of the princes in the capital is divided into three groups. The current heyday is naturally the Sixth Uncle. Jiang Yan feels that even in later generations, if people look at it, they will think that the Sixth Uncle is a legend. He joined the army at the age of 13 and became an official at the age of 23. General, commanding 20 Mobei Army.After the Pei family surrendered, he took all the Mobei Army into his pocket, a total of 50 soldiers and horses, which was almost equal to half of Daxian's troops.

One is the Qin Wang Party. Qin Wang is his second uncle, backed by Duke Ding Zhao's family. The Zhao family is Qin Wang's mother family. Basically, there is no possibility of being instigated by others. The Zhao family controls a small part of the army. Su made good friends with merchants, and Qin Wang led the real power of the Ministry of Households in the court, which was the second most powerful force.

After that is King Rui, who is the third eldest, and his family background is not low, but his mother died early, and there were rumors that she had been ambiguous with her childhood sweetheart in her early years. Not only is he exquisite, but also exquisite in means. He has gained a lot of reputation among civil servants by working alone, and successfully won over a large number of middle-level families, which is the third-class force.The fourth king, King An, and the fifth king, King Ning, are just fooling around, but in recent years they have slowly begun to approach King Rui.

Even if he is just dawdling, he lives far more clearly than he does. There is really no comparison between him and his uncles.

Jiang Yan shook his head to stop himself from thinking about it. With such an embarrassing status, it was thanks to the emperor's grandfather that he could maintain the last bit of dignity. If he thought too much, it would be of no benefit to him or others.

The East Palace was built ingeniously at the beginning, warm in winter and cool in summer, but it has been used year after year without repairs, and it will be cold every year, but it looks good. Jiang Yan doesn't like charcoal fire, and it makes him uncomfortable , so I couldn’t help getting into the bed early at night, and this time I didn’t come back until late at night, my feet were almost frozen into two pieces of ice. box.

"Your Highness, this was sent by His Royal Highness Chen Wang, look..."

Jiang Yan took the box over. The wooden box was as big as two palms, but it was not heavy in his hand. Jiang Yan opened it, and saw that it was a piece of jade carved into a strange circle, with holes pierced on the top and roots tied to the bottom. The red rope is decorated with a few jade butterflies. It looks exquisite and is a hand plate. It is about a few years old and has a warm luster.

Jiang Yan was a little puzzled. Although the quality of this jade was good, it was a long way from Mobei to the king's capital. Even if it wasn't a special trip, it was enough to be intentional. But the problem was that he didn't lack this thing.

There was a smile on the palace man's face: "Your Highness, can you take a look again?"

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to take out the round jade. As soon as he started, he knew why, the tentacles were warm, and he held it for a long time to warm his body. This is warm jade.The production of Nuanyu has always been very small, and it is a rare fate to find a small piece, especially the quality is so good, no wonder Sixth Uncle wanted to send it to him.

Jiang Yan doesn't know what mood he is in now. It is said that Uncle Six has been really kind to him these years. This is not a pretense. He can tell who is kind to him and whether he is sincere, but he can't let go of that snack. Knot.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise from outside, Jiang Yan opened his eyes in a daze, and Zhou Ning had rushed in to change his clothes.

"His Royal Highness, hurry up, there is news from Chengtian Palace that the holy car is in trouble!"

Jiang Yan's heart jumped, and he said to Zhou Ning while dressing: "What's going on? Didn't it mean that there are still some days? Uncle Liu hasn't come back yet!"

It's freezing cold now, and the Huns have no food for the winter, so they often come to plunder the people in Mobei. Last month, the sixth uncle asked the court to send troops to conquer. The emperor's grandfather is here for a few days... Then it will be messed up.

Jiang Yan wrapped the fox fur around his body tightly, but still felt cold. He paused, wrapped the piece of round jade around his hand, and held it tightly. The continuous heat from the smooth jade body seemed to give him With a little courage, Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said to Zhou Ning: "The news of the East Palace spreads quickly, and martial law will definitely be imposed in a while. You should think of a way to quickly pass the news to Uncle so that they can make preparations."

Zhou Ning quickly responded.

Before the snow on the road could be swept away, the chariot ran over it, making a creaking sound. Jiang Yan lowered his head and clenched the round jade in his hand.

Even if Uncle Liu took over the Pei family, he had a heart-to-heart, but if there must be someone who would take his father's place on the throne, he hoped that Uncle Six would be that person.

When he arrived in front of Chengtian Hall, he saw that the lights inside were brightly lit. Before Jiang Yan could think about it, he tidied up his clothes and walked in.

The scene inside was much better than he had imagined, there were no princes and grandchildren kneeling on the ground, or concubines weeping softly.Several of his uncles were there. Although they all had sad expressions on their faces, it could be seen that they were all calm.

Seeing him, King Rui greeted him: "Chengyuan is here, don't go in yet, your imperial grandfather is talking to your second uncle."

He said with a little kindness in his words: "It's the middle of the night, why don't you wear more clothes."

Jiang Yan took a step back, avoiding King Rui's hand that wanted to touch his head, and said not too far away: "Thank you for your concern, third uncle. I'm not cold. The matter of the emperor's grandfather is important."

Ning Wang said coolly: "Third brother, if people don't accept your favor, don't put your hot face on your cold ass."

King Rui scolded: "Where did you learn all this, fifth child, do you still look like a prince?"

King Ning curled his lips and stopped talking.

It didn't take long for King Qin to come out from the inner hall. Although King Rui, King An, and King Ning had different mothers, they had the same handsome appearance, and they could be seen as brothers at a glance. In contrast, King Qin seemed to have never known anything. It looks like it was picked up somewhere, not only is it surprisingly tall, but also dark, so dark that you can't find it when you go out at night.

Jiang Yan didn't change his face. He didn't think there was anything wrong with King Qin's appearance. In fact, he was very insensitive to people's appearance. Maybe it was because he could see through people's hearts. What he valued more was a person's heart.

【Damn, the youngest smiles like a flower girl who is out for sale, what the hell are you planning? 】Jiang Yan: "..." Well, in the heart of the second uncle, he still decided not to express his opinion.
