my lord is sick

Xiao Chengzhou just came over from Chonghua Hall, he ignored the seemingly absent probing gazes around him, and sat down beside Xie Yan.

"What did they tell you?" Xie Yan asked curiously.

Xiao Chengzhou raised his eyes and smiled: "They said, you have been looking for me, waiting for me for a long time."

Xie Yan was still scolding Zheng Peng and the others for their lack of brotherly loyalty, and left him to run away, but now he said: "It didn't take long." Xin Dao saw Zheng Peng and the others help him brush up in front of Xiao Chengzhou. For the sake of sensitivity, don't bother with them.

The Empress Dowager's birthday banquet only started in the evening, and there is still a long time.At that time, the birthday banquet will be held in the main hall of Yuchun Garden. Apart from Xie Yan and the others, there are many people who came here early to enjoy the cool air and wait.However, although there are many people, there is no one within three meters of the place where Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou are staying. However, due to Xiao Chengzhou's status, people have to come over to greet Xiao Chengzhou and salute, causing Xie Yan to talk to Xiao Chengzhou, saying He was interrupted after a while, and Xie Yan became annoyed when the number of interruptions increased.

Xie Yan pulled Xiao Chengzhou's sleeve, "Brother Zhou, let's go outside."

Xiao Chengzhou naturally responded to everything.

They chose a gazebo to go there. There were people in the gazebo. After seeing Xiao Chengzhou, they immediately got up and pretended to be ready to leave. In the end, only Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou were left in the pavilion, which was convenient for them.

Sitting in the pavilion, I happened to see several people from Zheng Peng in the pavilion in the distance. The three of them made a group, and they didn't know what they were talking about. He sat up as if his butt was pierced, adjusted his clothes, and ran away. Both Zheng Peng and Wang Ruila couldn't hold back.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yan couldn't help laughing twice.

Xiao Chengzhou also saw what happened just now, "What happened to him?"

Xie Yan pointed to the girls who appeared on the other side of the corridor pavilion, and said to Xiao Chengzhou: "Did you see that girl in light yellow clothes?"

Xiao Chengzhou nodded: "I see."

Xie Yan said with a smile: "Lu Yu has a good impression of her, and now he is pestering her family to propose marriage to her."

"Lu Yu likes her?"

"Yes."

Xiao Chengzhou was puzzled and said: "Since you like it, why do you want to run away in panic?" I don't know, I thought Lu Yu met something that made him afraid.

"That's not panic, that's shyness!" Xie Yan looked very understanding, and he lay down on the stone table, "Lu Yu said that every time he saw that girl, he was very happy in his heart, but he was very nervous , as long as you get closer to that girl, your complexion turns pale with nervousness, as if you can't breathe."

"Is it shy?" Xiao Chengzhou whispered, looking at Xie Yan's profile, with deep thought hidden in his eyes.In the past, Xie Yan saw him like this too... He always thought that it was because of the eunuch incident that frightened him, but from his observation of Xie Yan recently, it seems that the truth is not what he thought.

Because he was going to enter the palace today, Xie Yan was woken up by Wu Ling early in the morning. He didn't wake up in the morning, and he hadn't taken a nap yet. At this time, the sunlight was slightly drunk, so he yawned several times.

Xiao Chengzhou saw how pitiful he was struggling with his eyelashes moistened and his eyes wide open. He laughed softly and said, "Go to sleep for a while, I'm here, no one will come to disturb you." Just now the main hall was nothing more than the gazebo they stayed The location is off, others know that he is here, so they won't think about it and come to his side because of nothing. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Xie Yan was afraid that Xiao Chengzhou would be bored if he fell asleep, so he continued to hold on. Seeing that he said so, he immediately smiled gratefully, "Then I will sleep for a while, Brother Zhou, if you have something to do, just wake me up."

Xiao Chengzhou nodded, beckoning Kong Qing to move his position, to block the glare of sunlight for Xie Yan, so that he can fall asleep easily.

Xie Yan fell asleep for less than half an hour, while Xiao Chengzhou basically did not change his sitting posture, with his back straight, one hand on his lap, and the other on the stone table. He looked outside, but he always paid attention to Xie Yan, from time to time Will take a look at Xie Yan.

Although there is a big tree next to the gazebo for shade, but being outside, even putting an ice basin can't dissipate much heat.Nan Xing kept fanning Xie Yan with a folding fan, and Xie Yan was sweating profusely from sleep.Xiao Chengzhou didn't need to call, he woke up by himself. After waking up, he sat there in a daze for a while, and then gradually came to his senses.

Xiao Chengzhou pushed over a cold drink that was just prepared, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Xie Yan, "Wipe off your sweat."

Xie Yan took a sip of the iced drink first, and suddenly felt cold from the inside out. He wiped his face with the handkerchief, inadvertently saw something embroidered on the handkerchief, and with a puff, he unfolded the handkerchief with a smile, and pointed to the immature embroidery on it, " Brother Zhou, who embroidered your handkerchief for you, it looks like a handkerchief you just learned."

The handkerchief is not big, with a small corner, embroidered with a crooked toddler, covering his ears with one hand, and carefully lighting firecrackers with the other.The needlework of the embroiderer is immature, but full of childishness.The handkerchief was scratched in many places, it looked very old, it was washed white, Xiao Chengzhou should have used it for many years.

Xiao Chengzhou looked at Xie Yan who was looking at the handkerchief carefully, although he was smiling, he was a little sad, he said: "It was given to me by a friend once." into the sleeve.

"I haven't washed it yet, I'll return it to you after I wash it, brother Zhou." Xie Yan said a little embarrassedly, his sweat was stained on the handkerchief, and seeing how cherished Xiao Chengzhou was, this handkerchief must be very important to him, if I had known him earlier You don't need to wipe your sweat with this handkerchief.

Xiao Chengzhou said it's okay, "It's the same when I go back and ask someone to wash it."

Xie Yan scratched his chin, curious about the person who gave Xiao Chengzhou the handkerchief, he asked mysteriously, "Which girl is it?"

Xiao Chengzhou didn't expect Xie Yan to ask such a question, he was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why must it be a girl?"

Xie Yan took it for granted: "Handkerchiefs can only be given by girls. It can't be someone who is so boring, giving handkerchiefs to friends, right?

When Xie Yan usually exchanged gifts with Zheng Peng and the others, he thought about the image of Zheng Peng shyly pulling out a handkerchief and handing it to him, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body, and quickly waved his hand, expressing this terrible The scene waved away.

Xiao Chengzhou smiled and didn't speak, just said: "I stayed in the palace when I was young, and I never had a chance to go out."

Xie Yan understood, since he didn't have the chance to go out of the palace, naturally he also didn't have the chance to contact any girl.Xie Yan guessed in his heart that it was probably given to Xiao Chengzhou by a court lady who just learned embroidery.Xiao Chengzhou was in a very difficult situation when he was a child, and there were not many people around him who were kind to him, so even if it was just a gift from a court lady, it was kind of affectionate for him to keep it with him for so many years.Just seeing his sad tone when he talked about that friend, the palace maid might have met with an accident.

Xie Yan sighed, reached out and patted the back of Xiao Chengzhou's hand.He understands everything without saying anything.

Xiao Chengzhou didn't know why Xie Yan sighed suddenly, he just thought it was very funny that he pretended to be old-fashioned to comfort others.

The sun slowly changed its direction, and the two sat in the gazebo for a while. At this time, there were already many people in the Yuchun Garden, and there were conversations everywhere.Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou also left the pavilion and entered the main hall of Yuchun Garden.

Xie Feng and the others were already there, Xie Yan had met with some elders in the past, and when he saw Xiao Chengzhou appeared, he was surrounded by many people talking, so he could only find a place to sit down by himself.

The location of the birthday banquet is naturally particular. Xie Yan sat at his own seat when the birthday banquet started, and his family members were already there. Xie Feng and his wife were at the same table, Xie He and his wife were at the same table, and Xie Yan and Xie Miao were at the same table.Xie Miao was holding a round fan and was talking to a girl from another family sitting next to her.

Xie Yan was just bored touching the snacks that had just been placed on the table, and suddenly saw Xiao Chengzhou walking towards the door with a smile on his face. It turned out that it was the Duan family who appeared. Although he is a prince, as the future son-in-law of the Duan family, naturally he can't just talk about it Grade.

Duan Yuyun walked among the crowd of the Duan family, and when she saw Xiao Chengzhou, her complexion seemed to be paler, but the rest of the Duan family were very enthusiastic about Xiao Chengzhou.Xie Yan absent-mindedly took bites of his snacks, observed the Duan family carefully, and found nothing wrong, and did not know if the rest of the Duan family knew about Duan Yuyun and King Yu.However, Xie Yan felt that since the matter was done, unless she had supernatural powers, there would definitely be traces left. Duan Yuyun, a girl, had a tryst with King Yu on weekdays, and it was impossible for people around her not to notice.

More and more people came in, and those who came late were often people of high position and authority, like the other three princes, they all came at this time.As soon as King Yu appeared, Xie Yan hurried to look at Duan Yuyun, and saw that Duan Yuyun's eyes were fixed on King Yu, hesitant to speak.King Yu pretended not to know, he didn't meet Duan Yuyun's eyes the whole time, and only cared about talking to others.

Xie Yan saw that the light in Duan Yuyun's eyes dimmed, and her eyes turned red.Xie Yan clicked his tongue and got hit on the forehead, when he turned around, it was Xie Miao who hit him with a fan.

"What are you looking at?" Xie Miao said, she just turned around and saw Xie Yan staring at the fiancee of King Cheng, it was too Meng Lang.

Xie Yan leaned close to Xie Miao's ear and said, "Sister, do you think something is wrong with Miss Duan, I heard that her wedding is coming soon, but when I look at her, she doesn't look happy at all."

How could Xie Miao not know this, she and Duan Yuyun stayed with the queen mother for a long time in the afternoon, and Duan Yuyun seemed out of her mind from the beginning to the end, several times the queen mother talked to her, but she didn't respond in time, which made the queen mother unhappy up.

Xie Miao said softly: "Even if it is, it's none of your business." She always felt that something would happen tonight, so she told Xie Yan, "Concentrate on eating your food and don't worry about it."

Xie Yan nodded.

Suddenly there was a chanting outside the door, it turned out that the Empress Dowager and the Empress had arrived.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly stood up and saluted.

The birthday banquet officially began.

During the banquet, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and the maids holding trays filed in, and the steaming delicacies were put on the table. Xie Yan really listened to Xie Miao, watched the performance in the center of the hall, concentrated on eating and drinking, and reached the stage of presenting gifts and celebrating birthdays At that time, it was not his family's turn to show up, so all he could do was to admire the precious ingenuity of those congratulatory gifts.

Emperor Zhao Yuan was in a good mood tonight. Qin Tianjian gave him the auspicious daily report calculated two days ago. He deliberately chose the auspicious day of the Queen Mother's birthday, and planned to announce the wedding date of his third son.

After the gift was over, the music stopped because Emperor Zhaoyuan had something to say, and the performers also retreated. Everyone in the hall focused on Emperor Zhaoyuan.

At such a quiet moment, a sound of vomiting suddenly sounded in the hall.

Like the others, Xie Yan followed the voice and saw Duan Yuyun's pale face, her mouth covered in horror.

"What's wrong with Miss Duan?" the queen above asked with concern.
