fifteenth quarter moon

Half a month later, Yan Shaoyi rode his horse day and night to go to Chu State. He was in such a hurry because he heard that Nalan Jinrong, the emperor of the Li Kingdom, had been following him. It's time to think about getting married, not only Yan Shaoyi, but also Nalan Haoyue! After all, the other princes who have reached the age are already married.

The autumnal equinox is naturally a good time for harvest. Xianzhi took over the position of the hereditary son and was in charge of the battalion commander of the patrol battalion. Nalan Crescent is their busiest season.And Nalan Xianyue, a senior executive of Qianji Pavilion, has to be responsible for the final accounts and decision-making.

Xianzhi suddenly ran into Beiyuan's study in a hurry: "Brother, it's not good!"

The four people working hard at the same time raised their heads to Xian Zhiwu and asked, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, something happened to His Highness the Crown Prince!" Xianzhi said in a hurry.

"What's going on, tell me clearly!" Nalan Xianyue remained calm.

Xian Zhidao: "He has been grounded in the East Palace and no one is allowed to visit him!"

Fifteenth said: "Foot grounding, what did the prince do wrong to be grounded?"

Nalan Xianyue asked: "Is it related to the Emperor Chu?"

Xian Zhidao: "I don't know, I was summoned by His Majesty today, and then I was directly grounded by His Majesty."

Nalan Xianyue said: "I'll go to the East Palace to have a look, you guys are waiting here!"

Xian Zhidao: "Your Majesty has said that visiting is prohibited."

Fifteenth said: "It's fine if you don't go through the normal channels. His East Palace is not some Hades mansion, and there are ghost soldiers guarding it!"

Nalan Xianyue said: "Fifteen, you won't go today, I'll check the situation and come back."

Fifteen said: "Then Lingling and I will go and look for those shops."

Nalan Xianyue said: "It's up to you, if you don't feel tired, then go!"

Fifteen said: "Understood! You have to be careful."

Nalan Xianyue nodded and said: "Xianzhi, aren't you still on duty in the patrol battalion, don't leave your post for too long, just go with me!"

After the two brothers left the study room and the three of them fifteen or fifteen, they began to arrange the books and then went out to inquire about Qianji Pavilion's business in Shangjing.Nalan Xianyue became more courageous when she was away, so the bored Yu Xuanyou picked up the Fifteen Tune Kai beside her: "You two big men are so in love every day, you don't feel tired of it! "

Fifteen smiled and said: "Not tired, but you, why don't you find someone who feels tired, I'm afraid you will be more tired than anything else!"

Yuxuan said quietly: "Cut, you think everyone is like you!"

Beiling said: "Fifteen, don't hit him. If he could find it, he would have looked for it long ago, and he can still do it till now!"

Yuxuan said quietly: "Oh! Who are you talking about? You are not the same."

Fifteen said: "Oh, I think you two are like this, so don't provoke each other, or...you two are reluctant?"

The two glanced at each other in distaste, and then scattered towards both sides of 15.

The security in the Eastern Palace was much stricter than usual. Presumably Nalan Jinrong knew that someone would come to visit, so he added a lot of people to guard it.But for a character like Nalan Xianyue who comes and goes without a trace, it's just a piece of cake.Lie on the roof of the glazed tiles and scanned the layout of the East Palace, then quietly entered the Prince's Mansion.

The grounded Nalan Haoyue felt at ease, practicing calligraphy in the grounded room.A huge piece of rice paper was spread on the ground, Nalan Haoyue stood directly on the rice paper and wrote vigorously.

"If the emperor knows that you are grounded and is so comfortable, how would he feel?" Nalan Xianyue easily entered the room where Nalan Haoyue was grounded.

Nalan Haoyue looked up at Nalan Xianyue and said with a smile: "Sure enough, you are a brother! But I think you have been with Shiwu for a long time, and you have been assimilated by climbing walls."

Nalan Xianyue said: "Then can you think of a better way?"

Nalan Haoyue had no choice but to smile bitterly: "That's impossible!"

"I originally wanted to see your decadent appearance, but it seems that you are living a very comfortable life instead."

"Of course, don't worry about anything, just think, think about people who miss you, it's quite comfortable!"

"That's true." Nalan Xianyue found a chair and sat down, poured a cup of tea for herself and took a sip: "Well, this tea is not bad, I will bring some back later, Shiwu will definitely like it! Tell me about it." Why was he grounded? But Shaoyi flew to Chu, but you couldn’t go, and you panicked, what did you do wrong and the emperor caught you!”

"Father, he knows! What happened between me and Chu Linchuan."

"Don't guess, I must be angry and force you to marry. Even Shaoyi was forced to marry by the way!"

"Yeah, Shaoyi admitted that he flew to Chu, but I was grounded because I couldn't do anything."

"Have you ever considered compromise?"

"Think about it, so I'm afraid, afraid that I will compromise!" A prince, if he wants to say that he is afraid, it is real fear. "Sometimes I really envy you and Shiwu, who can be so happy and free, without having to bear anything."

Nalan Xianyue took a sip of tea and put down the exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup before slowly opening her mouth and said, "This is the third time I've heard these words from you. I also don't know how to persuade you. It's not enough brother to persuade you to let go. I advise you to go against your will." Not to mention lack of loyalty. I can only come to see you, and you have to decide what to do, but you can't be so comfortable and free, after all, you are the prince!"

"My mother came here just now!"

"The Empress must be very sad."

"That's for sure, but she is much calmer than I imagined. After all, she is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves."

"It must be to persuade you to follow His Majesty's wishes, agree to get married, lift the confinement, and make other plans."

"Nalan Xianyue, you are always so insightful into people's hearts."

Nalan Xianyue was silent.

Nalan Haoyue continued: "The empress mother said that there are some things that ordinary people can't do as they please, let alone this is in the emperor's house."

Nalan Xianyue said, "Your Majesty is telling the truth."

"She asked me to lift the confinement first, and when everything is in my own hands, then everything will be my own."

"It is true in theory, but in practice, it is different!"

"Yes! If I compromised, it would be different. But even if I sat in that position, I was not as free as I imagined. That position is not for people to do whatever they want, but to bear more and give up more. Much. Just like him now."

Nalan Xianyue said, "The Emperor Chu is facing the same situation as you!"

Nalan Haoyue smiled and expressed her acquiescence. Although Chu Linchuan is now the emperor of Chu, the vacant harem is a huge pressure he faces.So just like Nalan Haoyue, she was also urged to marry.

It can be said that Zhengyang Street is full of bustling gatherings. There are rice shops, cloth shops, commercial shops, money houses, restaurants, and inns under Qianji Pavilion in Shangjing, and today they have to search for them one by one.After all, it has just been taken over from Yan Shaoyi, and no one has seen it before, so Nalan Xianyue's special seal and Yan Shaoyi's seal will be shown every time he visits a house.

As soon as the three of them came out of a restaurant, Fifteen saw the big four characters "Qianhui Inn" on the street not far from the opposite side. Other businesses may use other names, but the restaurant and the inn are unified as Qianhui.

Seeing Qianhui Inn, Shiwu remembered the Tianzi No. [-] room specially set up for him.Xinsheng Yiji pointed to Qianhui Inn and said: "Lingling, look..."

After Beiling looked up and saw the plaque of the inn, he understood and said, "Go! The rest of me and that idiot will go and look for it."

Yuxuan said angrily, "Show me clearly who is the idiot."

Fifteen: "The idiot is very clear, hahaha!" After saying that, he ran away.Yuxuan wanted to catch up but was held back by Beiling and handed him the account book in his hand and said, "Do something!"

Before Fifteen ran to the door of the inn, he remembered something and ran back. Before he could speak, Beiling spoke first: "I know, I will tell you to wait for him here." Fifteen smiled awkwardly, then turned and left.

Yu Xuan asked puzzledly, "How do you know?"

Beiling wondered: "You don't know what the inn is for?"

Yuxuan said quietly: "Sleep!"

Beiling shook his head: "So stupid, I really don't know how he became the head of the sect in the past." He ignored Yu Xuanyou and walked to another firm.

Yuxuanyou was unconvinced, and could only follow Beiling's footsteps when she was irritable.This is also the thing that he can't figure out the most. The past self was not like this. Since he joined Qianji Pavilion, he feels that he has become stupid. I don't know why.

Fifteen walked into the inn and reported Nalan Xianyue's name, and took Nalan Xianyue's special dagger seal. The shopkeeper of the inn was not very happy.

As always, in the independent Tianzi No. [-] room of the inn, Fifteen is already lying on the big bed in the room.After tumbling and splashing a few times, it was very boring, so I got up, looking at this and that.After looking at the flowers and plants in the backyard one by one, they came to the front hall.The inn was still not very busy during the day, but the shopkeeper was busy sorting out the account books. After all, it was time to hand in the account books.Shiwu didn't bother him, the waiter was cleaning up so that guests could check in at night.Nalan Xianyue hadn't come yet, Fifteen was so bored that he wanted to inspect the guest room.

Because the inn is at a corner, the Tianzi No. [-] room connected to the backyard becomes a mountain corner shape.There are three floors in total. There are no guest rooms on the first floor, but the guest rooms are on the second and third floors.The fifteen patrols were just looking around casually, sometimes they used their godlike hearing to eavesdrop on the movement in the room.Everything was calm and uncertain, but Fifteen patrolled around and was about to go downstairs, but his steps suddenly slowed down around the corner.A powerful internal force is coming out of one of the rooms.It's just that Shiwu just felt it, and that internal force disappeared immediately.

Fifteen Hearts thought, "It is definitely not a simple person who can freely retract and release such a powerful internal force. So far, he has only met three, master and wife, and his senior brother and husband Nalan Xianyue. You can also meet such a character in Shangjing."

Fifteen exerted his breath-holding method to filter out all the noisy voices in the inn, and finally heard a sentence: "The prince is grounded now, and it is a good time to do it. Last time, none of your subordinates were left behind. Now I want you to do it yourself, don't make any trouble with me, His Royal Highness must..." After that, there was no sound, because Shiwu was discovered.

Fifteen hurriedly finished preparations, and the door of a room in the inn suddenly opened, and a black-clothed man came out, with a strong build and a full beard, staring at Fifteen viciously, holding a a big knife.

Fifteen had clearly sensed the man's powerful murderous aura. When he pulled out the Yueshuang Sword that he carried with him, the man had already pulled out his big knife and flew towards Fifteen. The broadsword.A knife and a sword collided with fierce sparks.Although that man's skill is strong, but Shiwu's martial arts is not bad. The two fought from the guest room to the backyard, and from the backyard to mid-air. The sound of fierce collision of swords attracted many people to watch, including Beiling and Yu Xuanyou.Seeing that it was fifteen, Beiling said, "Hurry up and help." He drew his sword and flew towards the two people who were duel at this time.

Only then did Yu Xuanyou realize: "That's right, I need help, quickly put the account book in my pocket, and join the battle with my sword.

There is a rule in Qianji Pavilion "Regardless of right or wrong, protect the fifteenth!"

However, Fifteen did not know this rule.
