When Yan Qing walked home, Du Shi felt a little strange and asked, "Son, why did you come back after you just went out? Did you forget to take something?"

Yan Qing's tightly pursed lips were slightly curved, revealing a trace of bitterness that quickly disappeared. Looking at Du Shi's haggard face and rough hands, she had suffered a lot in order to raise her, if her mother hadn't disguised her as a boy , To pass on the incense to the father who died early, the elders of the family will support it, how can a widow keep the family property, she was bullied and taken away by the relatives who beat Qiufeng long ago.

but……

After all, she is not a man. After offending the princess, it may be difficult for her to move an inch in the capital. She is fine if she suffers alone, but she is afraid that her identity as a woman will be exposed and her mother will be hurt.

With tears in his eyes, Yan Qing held Du Shi's hand tightly, and begged sincerely: "It's time to wake up from the dream. Let's leave the capital and live in a place where no one will recognize us."

Du's mouth opened and closed in surprise: "Son... what are you talking about? Mother can't understand."

Yan Qing said seriously: "I... will not go to the imperial examination."

Mrs. Du panicked, and asked with trembling hands: "Why don't you go to the imperial examination? I've been looking forward to it for so long for my mother, and I hope that one day you will be able to go to high school, honor your ancestors, and give your dead father an explanation. You, you now

How can I say no to the imperial examination? I have worked so hard for you to study. I embroidered until my fingers are worn out and my eyes are blurred. You can’t tell me now! "

Du was so angry that he wanted to hit someone with a broom.

After Yan Qing saw it, he stood there in a daze, not avoiding or retreating, "Mother, you can fight if you want, we will leave here in a few days."

Mrs. Du held the broom up high, but couldn't bear to hit this unfilial son for a long time, so he could only beat his chest in distress: "You unfilial son! This is the house left by your father, where are you going? Do you want to go?" Go on your own, you will die in this house if you die for your mother!"

Du Shi fell to the ground and splashed, and Yan Qing couldn't express the pain in his heart.

The mother brainwashed herself over and over again, and firmly believed that she was a man. In the early years, she wanted to find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage for her, but it was impossible for her to marry a wife and have children. Whenever she wanted to tell her mother to restore her daughter's body At that time, the mother seemed to be suffering from hysteria, frantically looking for her son, so she had to pretend.

Sooner or later, we have to leave, so it should be earlier, Yan Qing said cruelly: "Pack up your things, I have copied books and saved some silver taels these years, enough for us to move to a new place to live."

Mrs. Du scolded and scolded, but she was reluctant to beat her, so she could only wipe away her tears and followed Yan Qing to pack her luggage, but there were some big pieces of furniture in the house that couldn't be moved, so they planned to sell them, because Yan Qing didn't plan to come back again, Sell ​​it to your neighbors at a low price.

The commotion inevitably became a bit big. Yan Qing said that he was going out to visit relatives, but many people guessed that he had offended someone by the way he moved in a hurry, so they moved away quickly.

Du Gan heard the news and came to visit Yan's house.

It happened that Yan Qing was not at home, so Du Gan greeted Mrs. Du with a smile: "Aunt Du, why did Yan Qing suddenly say that he was going on a long trip and dragged you there? What happened?"

The Du family and Du Gan are both natives of the capital, and they are somewhat related, but the Du family has long since been separated, and Du Gan is considered the most honorable main branch. Not Du Gan, with his status as an elder, he can barely call Du Gan a nephew.

Hearing the nephew of the main branch came to ask her, Mrs. Du couldn't help complaining, looked at Du Gan eagerly and said: "Nephew, you and Yan Qing are good friends, can you persuade her not to move to another place, Auntie really can't move her!"

Du Gan's eyes turned, he didn't expect that Yan Qing was about to move out, could it be related to the princess?

A few days ago, he had discussed with his father that if it was not Yan Qing who had a relationship with the princess but him, then their family would be able to take a step forward, not to mention that the current emperor is old, and the crown prince and the second prince are fighting each other. Great, many officials have fallen, the court seems to be in crisis, all of them are opportunities for him, if someone falls, someone will rise to the position, relying on the status of the princess consort, getting a small official is enough to make the family profit. shallow.

It's a pity that it was this poor Yan Qing who was favored by the princess, and resentment and jealousy flashed in Du Gan's eyes.

At the beginning, he took Yan Qing to participate in poetry gatherings and various gatherings, because he was the son of a businessman, and those scholars who came from a really famous family in the capital looked down on him at all. , and he also needs a foil, Yan Qing usually behaves well at poetry conferences and never steals the limelight, so he is willing to take Yan Qing as a companion.

The Du family's foundation in the capital is still shallow, and they have never been able to find a way to contact high-ranking officials. Even if he entered a first-class academy in the capital, those rich and powerful children have their own social circles, and they don't want to talk to him, the son of a businessman who smells like copper. He can't give up contacting the princess no matter what.

Du Gan thought for a while, and said, "Aunt Du, I will have a good chat with Yan Qing when he comes back, but he was fine before, why is it that the imperial examination is approaching suddenly, and the whole family has to move?"

Mrs. Du sighed: "Aunt Du didn't know either. The day before yesterday, Yan Qing came back not long after leaving the house, and said that she wanted to pack up her bags and leave the capital. This place is fine, so why did she suddenly say that she wanted to move out?"

the day before yesterday?

Du Gan's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly remembered that he had sent a servant to guard the place, and immediately notified him as soon as the princess came. gone.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Qing hurriedly left the capital because of the princess.

Rubbing his chin with his fingers, he must have offended the princess, and Yan Qing had no choice but to leave. Du Gan suddenly thought, if the princess knew that Yan Qing was going to leave, would she let Yan Qing go?

After thinking about it, Du Gan felt that he could not let go of this opportunity, and he would go to the Princess Mansion later. Yan Qing's leaving the capital like this would not do him any good at all.

Du Gan smiled and said, "Aunt Du, I suddenly have something to do, so I'll take a step ahead."

"Huh? That kid Yan Qing should be back soon, are you leaving?"

Du Gan said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll visit you next time."

Aunt Du sighed resentfully: "Next time, how can there be a next time? I'm leaving tomorrow."

Du Gan's eyes lit up, and he was even more anxious, so he left with a few perfunctory words.

Going out for a long trip needed a wayfinding guide. Yan Qing went to the government office to complete the formalities and returned home. He happened to see a figure suspected of Du Gan walking out in the direction of her house in a hurry. Yan Qing immediately frowned.

Ever since Du Gan brought the princess to her home last time, she had become wary of this friend, and a bad feeling came to her heart. Yan Qing hurried home, saw his mother packing clothes, and immediately He asked, "Did Gan come here just now?"

Mrs. Du was still a little angry with Yan Qing, and said in a bad tone: "Yes, nephew Dugana is much more conscientious than you, and he made a special trip to visit you when he heard that you were going to leave. How could anyone like you hide everything when you move?" Keep it secret, and don’t tell your mother and neighbors in the neighborhood.”

Yan Qing's eyes sank: "Mother, did you tell Du Gan that we are leaving?"

Mrs. Du nodded: "Yes, Du Gan also said that he would come to visit again, but unfortunately we will move out tomorrow. It is strange to say that when he heard that we were leaving tomorrow, he suddenly said that he had something to do and left in a hurry."

Yan Qing's face changed drastically. Although she didn't want to think about it, Du Gan was not as pure as she used to think. "Mother, I'll clean it up for you. We'll leave tonight."

Du Shi was surprised: "Why so suddenly?"

Yan Qing didn't have time to explain, and in the dim night, he saluted one by one and loaded them into the carriage. The driver was a middle-aged man seven feet tall with scars on his face. It was said that he served as a soldier at Yanmen Pass to resist the Turkic invasion.

The border was injured.

Looking at the burly and powerful figure of the coachman, Yan Qing felt more and more strange. It can be said that the money she paid could recruit a retired soldier, which can be said to be worth the money, but for some reason, she just felt a strange feeling. He secretly clasped the dagger hidden in his sleeve.

The wheels were wide at the front and narrow at the rear, and it was bumpy to sit on the carriage, but in order to drive overnight, Yan Qing urged the driver to drive faster.

Looking at the scene outside the carriage, the smooth blue bricks, red walls and black tiles, and two mighty big stone lions squatting in front of the door, as the carriage went deeper, the lanterns receded one by one, Yan Qing's face sank to the extreme, The cold eyes are like ice.

Looking sideways at Du Shi who was sleeping soundly in the carriage, Yan Qing's face was gloomy, and he moved slightly, the groom in front of the carriage warned: "I don't want to hurt Mr. Yan, I advise you to sit in the carriage."

Yan Qing clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Where are you taking me?"

The coachman: "Mr. Yan has guessed it more or less, don't make things difficult for me."

Yan Qing's expression changed unpredictably, he raised his eyes and said, "Place my mother well, this matter has nothing to do with her."

The coachman stared straight ahead, and said: "Don't worry, after entering the mansion, the master will send someone to take care of the young master's mother."

Yan Qing wanted to say something else, but the driver let out a 'shh', and the carriage stopped.

The coachman said respectfully: "We're here, please get off the carriage, Mr. Yan."

When Yan Qing got out of the car, he saw a huge plaque head-on, with the words "Princess Mansion" written in a generous and graceful manner.

The cold moonlight, the hazy clouds rising, the sparse leaves accompanied by the sound of unknown insects, the high walls of the princess mansion, the red lanterns hanging in front of the door, and a person who has been waiting for her for a long time.

The slightly drunken light shone on Xuan Hanyue's face, as if the face was powdered, coolness floated on the cheeks, a trace of very light powder appeared on the thin lips, touched by the condensed peach blossom eyes, the black eyes that had been dim for a long time became golden, and then Covered with a cloud of moisture, the clear eyes were soaked in excitement, looking at her melancholy, standing on the high platform with lips tightly pressed, tears in stubborn eyes.

Yan Qing shook her heart, obviously she hadn't done anything, but somehow she felt a bit of guilt and uneasiness, as if she had become a heartless man who abandoned his wife and children.
