my lord is sick

Xie Yan was about to go out the next day, when he received a message from a servant of Prince Cheng's mansion, saying that King Cheng had gone to the palace to meet the saint, and Xie Yan would not have to go to Prince Cheng's mansion in the morning.

It was like Xie Yan was forced to study every day before, and one day the husband suddenly showed kindness and gave him a day off, which surprised him endlessly.He was in a dilemma at the door, should he go out to play with Zheng Peng and the others, or go back to catch up on his sleep?

At this time, Xiao Chengzhou was already standing in the Chonghua Hall, looking down at the ground, and saluted his superior: "I have seen my father."

After writing the case, Emperor Zhaoyuan looked down at his third son, and said slowly: "You don't need to be too polite, Chengzhou, is your health better?"

Xiao Chengzhou raised his head, "My son is in good health, thank you for your concern."

Emperor Zhaoyuan saw a trace of admiration and excitement in his pretendingly quiet eyes, and his expression immediately eased a lot.At this time, he is not like a majestic emperor, but an ordinary loving father, he sighed: "Chengzhou, you are twenty-two this year, right?"

Xiao Chengzhou said: "Yes, father."

"It's been so hard for you these years." Emperor Zhaoyuan revealed guilt, "It's the father who delayed you."

Emperor Zhaoyuan spoke tiredly, rubbing his forehead, and talked to Xiao Chengzhou about the situation in various parts of Daqi this year, such as drought in a certain place, flood in a certain place, and a certain official cheating, colluding with local bandits, oppressing the local people, There are also border enemy forces harassing and invading from time to time, slaughtering people and looting supplies...

Xiao Chengzhou looked awe-inspiring: "I am willing to share my father's worries, and I also hope that my father will take care of the dragon's body, and don't be hurt."

Emperor Zhaoyuan said with relief: "Father knows that you are a good boy, but I have your elder brother and second brother to help me share these matters. Now, your life is still the most important thing. Yesterday, the queen mother told me that your marriage will not be delayed." , urged me to get your marriage done."

"The minister is still young, and the minister is not in a hurry." Xiao Chengzhou said.

Emperor Zhaoyuan smiled, and seeing Xiao Chengzhou's ears were red, he knew that he was insincere.In the past few years, Xiao Chengzhou in his eyes has always been pretending to be gentle, appearing to be calm but carefully hiding his impetuous and reckless temper, such a blushing look is really rare.

Emperor Zhao Yuan laughed loudly, "Even if you're not in a hurry, the girl from the Duan Mansion can't wait. Yesterday I ordered Qin Tianjian to calculate the date, and it should be reported in two days."

Xiao Chengzhou seemed unable to restrain himself any longer, his eyes were filled with joy, and he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted: "Thank you, Father!"

Emperor Zhaoyuan said: "I called you here today because of your marriage. You hurry up and take good care of your health, and the government can prepare for it."

"My son understands."

Emperor Zhaoyuan waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Chengzhou could leave.

Xiao Chengzhou withdrew from the Chonghua Palace, the joy on his face could not fade away, and he went out of the palace all the way to let everyone who met him know that King Cheng had a happy event.Now that he has entered the palace, he has to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

Although the queen mother has always been indifferent to Xiao Chengzhou, she has raised Xiao Chengzhou for several years, and she has some kind of grandchildren's affection.She also talked about his marriage with Xiao Chengzhou, and she was slightly dissatisfied with Emperor Zhaoyuan who had suppressed his marriage for so many years. Fortunately, Emperor Zhaoyuan finally let go, and the queen mother let go of the matter.

The joy on Xiao Chengzhou's face did not disappear until he left from the Queen Mother, went out of the palace gate, and got into the carriage. He told Kong Qing beside him: "Accord to the plan."

"My subordinate understands."

Entering the palace today, although Emperor Zhao Yuan didn't ask him about his relationship with Xie Yan, the mention of marriage was already a proof of this matter.If he has a different intention and wants to win over the Xie family, then he must be against the marriage of the Duan family girl.But his performance was what he expected. Emperor Zhaoyuan got the answer he wanted to know, so he didn't mention anything.

Emperor Zhaoyuan is over forty years old and has been emperor for more than 20 years. As he grows older and his sons grow up, his control over the court becomes more and more incapable, but he becomes more and more persistent in power.Because of his high position, he has become more and more conceited in recent years.Xiao Chengzhou's disguise for many years was due to Emperor Zhaoyuan's suspicion, but Xiao Chengzhou always had a chance to dispel this suspicion.

The carriage was driving all the way, passing Tianweiji, thinking of Xie Yan's favorite plum cake, Xiao Chengzhou asked his servants to buy a box back.

While waiting for his servant to come back, Xiao Chengzhou saw two seven or eight-year-old children beside him, a boy and a girl. The boy was holding a lot of food in his arms, circling around the girl, and repeatedly asked the girl what she liked to eat.The girl pointed shyly into his arms, and the boy handed the gift of food to the girl like a treasure.When the girl took it, the boy kept grinning silly.

A sneer came from behind, Xiao Chengzhou put down the car curtain, and asked Kong Qing without looking back: "What are you laughing at?"

Kong Qing said: "I'm not laughing at anything."

"Huh?" Xiao Chengzhou raised his voice slightly.

Kong Qing said: "This subordinate said, you can't curse people."

Xiao Chengzhou raised his chin, expressing that he would not curse.

Kong Qing said: "When this subordinate sees that little boy, it's like seeing Master Xie. Master Xie is also like that, always courting you, as long as he is with you, his attention will only be on you .I don’t know, I thought he was making the person he likes happy.”

"Nonsense." Xiao Chengzhou scolded lightly, his eyebrows thoughtful.

Leaving Sweet Taste, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Xiao Chengzhou just got off the carriage, he heard the servant report that Xie Yan was already waiting in the palace.

Xiao Chengzhou asked: "When did you come?"

"Come here shortly after you left."

As soon as he heard Xie Yan's name, his mood that had been ruined by entering the palace suddenly improved. Xiao Chengzhou smiled and walked in a little faster by two points.

Xie Yan is currently reading the script in Xiao Chengzhou's study.He also didn't want to come here and wait. After receiving the news of Xiao Chengzhou's entry into the palace, he made a choice between going out to play and returning to the cage. He chose to go out to play first, but he ran to find Zheng Peng, who was still there. On the bed, I couldn't wake up no matter how I screamed, Lu Yu and Wang Rui were the same.Xie Yan was quite embarrassed at that time, he was usually still lying on the bed at this point, since he made friends with Xiao Chengzhou, getting up early has almost become a habit.

The three pigs couldn't be woken up, and the time for them to sleep in their cages had passed, Xie Yan simply didn't go back to the Hou's mansion, and went directly to Prince Cheng's mansion to wait for Xiao Chengzhou.

When Xiao Chengzhou came back, Xie Yan threw away the book and complained to Xiao Chengzhou: "I'm almost bored to death without you here."

"Ask someone to find some more interesting stories some other day." Xiao Chengzhou said with a smile.

"You haven't finished reading what you asked people to search for before." Xie Yan said so, Xiao Chengzhou's proposal made him happy.He looked at Xiao Chengzhou, and saw that although he was smiling, he seemed a little forced.Thinking that he had just come out of the palace, Xie Yan hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "What happened to make you unhappy?"

Xiao Chengzhou smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing."

Xie Yan didn't want to ask any more questions, so he just said: "What's not happy, if you want to talk about it, just tell me, we are friends, and we can help you share your worries and problems."

However, although Xiao Chengzhou didn't say anything, Xie Yan still knew why Xiao Chengzhou was upset during lunch.

Xie Yan looked at Steward Chen, "Uncle Chen, you seem to be very happy today?"

It's not just Steward Chen, Xie Yan found that today the servants of the palace seem to be walking with wind, and all of them are beaming, feeling that the palace is more lively than before.

Steward Chen smiled brightly, and he was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. He said: "The prince is going to marry the princess and come in. This old slave is very happy for the prince."

Xie Yan looked at Xiao Chengzhou in surprise, "Are you getting married? Miss Duan?"

Xiao Chengzhou nodded, and waved for Butler Chen and the others to go down.

When there were only the two of them in the dining room, Xie Yan said angrily, "How could this be!"

Isn't this bullying?If Xiao Chengzhou wants to marry a woman who hooks up with his younger brother behind his back, even if he has a deep-rooted love for her, but under the premise of her betrayal, he will not be happy no matter what!

Xie Yan said anxiously: "You are stupid, why don't you refuse?" Even if there is no evidence, you can't suffocate yourself to death, and the hat on your head is so green that you are not married, this is really unbearable!

Seeing that he was full of anger, Xiao Chengzhou was in a better mood. He smiled and gave him food, "I have a way to solve this matter, Ayan, you don't have to worry about me."

Xie Yan glanced at him and asked, "Are you not angry or sad?"

His almond eyes are round, and his eyelashes are like small brushes. He was afraid that he would be angry and sad if he asked too much. Xiao Chengzhou swept his fingers across his eyelashes, and seeing him blink in surprise, he smiled and said: "I will be angry, but I will be sad, but I will not." necessary."

Never expected, so why sad.

"It's great if you can think like this!" Xie Yan said, he was afraid that Xiao Chengzhou would be "trapped by love" all the time, so "trapped" that he would not think about eating and drinking, so he would be frightened along with it.He used serving chopsticks to pick up half a bowl of food for Xiao Chengzhou Hulala, showing off his limited knowledge, "If you don't go to the old ones, you won't come to the new ones. There are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, right? We don't want girls like Duan, she I can't match you, let's find a better one, why don't a man have a wife!"

Looking at the dishes in the bowl, Xiao Chengzhou felt a little hot in his heart.

Xiao Chengzhou is actually very picky about food. When he was a child, he lived in the cold palace and often ate rotten and cold food. After a long period of time after the death of his mother and concubine, it was common for him to be hungry.At that time, I didn't pick anything, and there were few things I could eat, and I liked almost all of them.Later, when I lived with the Queen Mother, I ate a lot and had a lot of choices, so I became picky about what to eat.But this habit, only Xiao Chengzhou himself knows, his external behavior is still the same, eating whatever he can eat.The dishes that Xie Yan put into his bowl were the ones he liked relatively among the dishes on the table, but at most he ate a chopstick or two more often than the ones he didn't like, and if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't even notice it.

But the carefree Xie Yan noticed.

Xiao Chengzhou recalled the scene he saw in front of Tianweiji. Xie Yan was really like what Kong Qing said, as long as he was with him, his attention would be on him. These little details are observed.

The author has something to say:

Kong Qing: God assists, it's me!

Gu Zai: Help your mother grow taller, I am the one!

Gu Mom: Do you have a share in talking?
