The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

A few days later, Emperor Hui and Crown Prince Feng Zhan rewarded the Pingxi army at the camp in the western suburbs. It is said that the scale was so large that Qin Yanwo did not attend the ceremony at the Duke's Mansion.

The news brought back by Shen Ying said that among the young talents in the aristocratic clan, there are two outstanding talents who have attracted much attention.

One was Shen Ci from the Duke's Mansion of Zhenguo, who was awarded the title of General Zhaowu of the third rank; the other was Xie Zhao of the Marquis of Yongding, who was awarded the title of General Mingwei of the fourth rank.

Interestingly, Shen Ci did not accept the reward of the General's Mansion, but let the Ministry of War turn it into gold and silver. Shen Ci blatantly said that he was short of money and that he would support his sister for the rest of his life.

However, Xie Zhao accepted his mansion. It seems that this concubine of Yongding Hou's mansion has really hard bones and is not ready to move into Hou's mansion. It can also be regarded as a long face for the Pingxi Army.

Shen Ying suddenly remembered that Princess Changle Feng Yunchao sent someone to send a message,

"Master, Princess Changle, Feng Yunchao, will hold a birthday banquet at the Prince's Mansion in Xishan ten days later. It is said that General Shen Ci will be invited, and Zhaoren County Master will go to the banquet."

Qin Yan took the bronzing invitation, the Prince's Mansion in Xishan?

Hosting a banquet for the princess in his own mansion, it seems that this prince is really good to his imperial sister, but Xishan...

"Shen Ying, what's going on at the main mansion of Xishan County?"

Qin Yan suddenly remembered that it was time for her to move out of the Zhenguo Gongfu. Mr. Ji and the others lived in the mansion they bought before. She still had her own personal affairs to deal with on weekdays. Still have to move out asap.

"Mr. Ji said that the original land is almost repaired, and the **** arranged by His Majesty have messed up Meipo and the lotus pond again, so it will take some time."

"I heard from Mr. Ji that they started on the first day they went there. Maybe it was because the fight was not enjoyable before, and even the young master ended up fighting together. That scene, tsk tsk... Fortunately, the pond has not filled with water, and dozens of clay figurines , I get goosebumps just thinking about it."

Shen Ying said that her body trembled a little here.

"But Master, there is one more thing. Mr. Ji said that there used to be a common plum forest between the Princess Palace and the Prince's Palace. These days, the people on the other side of the Prince's Palace are building the wall very fast, and it should be finished. I It's a bit irritating to think that they will sneak over when we have bad intentions?"

The more Shen Ying thought about it, the more angry she became, and the prince was too arrogant.

"Well, that's fine. Let Mr. Ji make more traps in our Merlin. I don't like trouble. Multiple guarantees are better." Qin Yan didn't care. Everyone wanted to go together to avoid trouble and live together. Nothing is best.

"Master, what about Xiyuan?" Shen Ying suddenly remembered that Xiyuan had been cleaned up.

Qin Yan smiled lightly,

"His Royal Highness has come up with a good idea for us. You ask Mr. Ji to arrange for someone to build a wall between Xiyuan and Qinfu. This garden will be used later."

Shen Ying was already thinking of raising several opera troupes in Xiyuan, who would babble and sing big plays from morning to night. The Qin mansion couldn't stand the move.

This is not enough to relieve her anger, Shen Ying thought hard about whether there is any more way to relieve her anger.

------

On the day of Princess Changle Feng Yunchao's birthday banquet, it was foggy in the morning, and it seemed to be a sunny day.

Feng Yuyao sent a message in advance, saying that she was worried that Qin Yan would not be able to deal with those difficult ladies from aristocratic families, and invited Qin Yan to go with her. The princess left the palace early and waited outside the town's palace.

Qin Yan knew her little daughter's thoughts, but Shen Ci was sent to the northwest again, to disappoint the princess.

Feng Yuyao couldn't wait for Shen Ci, and was disappointed for a moment, then relieved. That is the man she cares about. Since she was a child, she has put her responsibilities at the top of the list, giving the people behind her stability and peace of mind.

Feng Yuyao forced Qin Yan onto her carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the west mountain outside the city.

After getting into the car, Feng Yuyao looked at Qin Yan's brocade robe with plain white embroidery and moiré pattern, with only a white jade hairpin on her head and simply pulled up a bun, Feng Yuyao shook her head.

"Xiao Yanyan, don't you know that the banquet in Shangjing City is actually a show-off scene of a noble girl from an aristocratic family? Although it is necessary to avoid overpowering the master's limelight, you are too plain. But your face is enough. The beauty is overwhelming."

Qin Yan glanced at Feng Yuyao, who was dressed in an uncomplicated palace outfit, and the princess simply pulled up a high bun.

"Then you are?"

Feng Yuyao looked down at her attire, but her face was flushed, and she turned away uncomfortably.

Qin Yan immediately understood that Shen Ci was always simple and did not like extravagance. Is this catering to Shen Ci's preferences? Not broken either.

The carriage went out of the city steadily, and as soon as it left the city gate, the fragrance of green grass overflowed into the nose, Qin Yan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, refreshing his heart.

Lifting the curtain to go out, there is still mist in the fields in the mountains, and the green trees and crops in the distance are faintly visible.

A carriage was parked on the side of the road in front. A young girl in a pale yellow smoky gauze scattered flower dress was stomping wild flowers by the side of the road, and a little maid was standing next to her holding a flower basket. The girl's delicate voice came from afar,

"Brother Chang Yuan, I really like going out of the city. We will often come out to play in the future!"

Feng Yuyao, who was still reminiscing about the deep speech on the court that day, heard the voice and immediately looked out the window. It was the frame of Yongding Hou's mansion. Xie Changyuan was in the car? Is that little yellow warbler A Yan? That is also Xie Chang Yuan's current fiancee.

Feng Yuyao pulled down the curtain, blocking Qin Yan's sight. She didn't want to block Qin Yan, but seeing Qin Yan looking like she was okay, Feng Yuyao sighed and was really worried.

Feng Yuyao didn't have any personal friendship with Xie Changyuan, so he left without stopping when he passed the other side's frame.

Xie Changyuan had closed his eyes and rested in the car, and he had been working with Xie Zhao at the Xishan County Master's Mansion for the past few days, spending a lot of energy. Strangely, he doesn't seem to be so angry with Xie Zhao anymore.

On the third day of Zhaoren County's main mansion flashing in my mind, the gods were not beautiful, and it was another spring rain. Xie Changyuan and Xie Zhao collapsed in the mud pond exhausted after the intense battle, panting violently.

Xie Zhaoyu sneered, "Look at you like a bear."

Xie Chang Yuan wiped his face with mud and rain, "Come again!"

The two fight together again, you punch, I kick, hearty...

With the sound of a carriage passing by, Xie Changyuan withdrew his thoughts. Today, Princess Changle held a banquet and sent a message to Yongding Houfu in the morning. After A Yan found out, he insisted on coming. He originally thought that it would be inconvenient, but he wondered if Qin Yan would also go, so he agreed to A Yan out of the blue.

"Sir, it's Princess Jingyi's frame, do we want to...they're gone"

"Huh" Xie Chang Yuan is not interested in this, they?

Xie Changyuan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly he lifted the curtain of the car, and saw two carriages driving away in front of him, the first car was the princess frame, the second car... Could it be Qin Yan?

"Brother Chang Yuan, look at the flowers I picked, aren't they very beautiful. I'm tired of seeing the flowers that I've grown accustomed to in the mansion on weekdays, and it's not bad to go out of town to pick some wild flowers occasionally. Taste..." It was A Yan who came back.

Family flower...Wild flower...Xie Changyuan put down the curtain, he didn't answer A Yan's words, but at this moment, he felt embarrassed for no reason, and his mood was uneasy.

------

Princess Changle's birthday banquet was of a high standard, and the invitations were only sent to the daughters of the sons and daughters of the great families. Therefore, not many people attended the banquet.

The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. Except for the opening of the Merlin in the south and the waterside pavilion next to it, the passages inside are guarded.

The banquet was set in the garden beside Merlin. When Qin Yan arrived, several young ladies were already there.

Princess Changle Feng Yunchao was seated on the main seat. After Qin Yan and Feng Yuyao greeted Princess Changle Feng Yunchao, the young ladies also stood up to salute Qin Yan and Feng Yuyao. Qin Yan, together with Feng Yuyao, was seated in Feng Yunchao's position.

The position opposite them was a dignified and beautiful woman who looked a few years older than Qin Yan, and Feng Yunchao, the princess of Changle, was chatting happily with her. Qin Yan praised that her words and deeds were the model of a noble girl from a noble family, and it was no wonder that Uncle Huai said she was too casual.

Feng Yuyao saw Qin Yan admiringly looking at An Yanxi opposite, biting her ears with Qin Yan mysteriously,

"You have a good eye. That is An Yanxi, the eldest daughter of An Shifeng, a cabinet scholar and the prince's grandfather."

"Have you seen Feng Yunchao chatting with her very much? I heard that the eldest Miss of the An family is a prospective crown princess, and she is a childhood sweetheart with the crown prince. However, there have been rumors for many years, and there is still no news from the crown prince."

At this moment, An Yanxi looked back and nodded slightly towards them. Really generous.

There was an empty seat opposite Qin Yan and the others, Feng Yuyao gestured down,

"The second person over there is Wang Jingyi, the eldest lady of Zuo Xiangfu's house, who has already discussed marriage and will get married next year. He Xiao, the eldest son of the Minister of War, is appointed, but I heard that he is a playboy, and he is everywhere in the capital. The confidante. This Miss Wang is also married, but she has never been noisy or noisy, and there is no gossip to talk about."

"Next is Jingyan, the second queen of the Zuo Prime Minister. This person's experience is legendary. When he was young, he went to Yangzhou with his mother. When he was young, he met a thief on the road. He was rescued by a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou. It took a few years to be brought back. This is the lucky star of the Zuo Prime Minister. I heard that the Zuo Prime Minister valued it very much. On weekdays, the porridge and the hut were built to compete with the eldest miss of the An family. I am afraid that the eldest Miss An is trying to become a crown princess. , I don't know what she wants. But both of them have an excellent reputation outside."

"Further down is An Yanxi's younger sister An Suyue, but they are not the same mother, they are the daughters of the successor. I heard that the backyard of the Daishi Mansion is not peaceful, and the two sisters have never been on good terms. I never see them talking outside. ."

Feng Yuyao's mouth was dry as she spoke, and she took a sip of the tea at hand, and before she put down the teacup, the voice of the palace attendant came from outside the banquet,

"The prince of Yongding Hou's mansion came with his fiancée, the prince of Yongding Hou's mansion gave a white jade landscape ornament, and the fiancee of Yongding Hou's mansion, Mrs. Ayan, gave a painting."

"Xie Shizi also gave the jade, you guys still thought of going together." Feng Yuyao teased.

Qin Yan smiled without saying a word. She had a lot of jade in her warehouse, and Mr. Ji chose a few as gifts for her.

Xie Changyuan and A Yan sat opposite Qin Yan, but Qin Yan was helpless and was opposite again.

Xie Changyuan also saw Qin Yan on the opposite side, and he looked away uncomfortably.

A Yan has been observing Xie Changyuan's reaction. She looked across the street. She had seen Princess Jingyi Feng Yuyao from a distance. Next to that princess should be Qin Yan, brother Chang Yuan's ex-fiancee.

It turns out that Qin Yan was born so beautiful, will Brother Zhang Yuan regret it?

A Yan turned around and saw Xie Changyuan raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his face seemed to be gloomy, and A Yan felt a little uneasy.

------

The banquet was fairly quiet, and nothing happened.

The second-ranked queen Jingyan, who had just been found by the Zuo Prime Minister, had both the right and the left. It seemed that some of them were stealing the princess' limelight.

Interestingly, the eldest sister Wang Jingyi next to her just drank quietly, watched songs and dances, and did not interfere. She pretended that the sister did not exist the whole time. It seems that there is no peace behind the sisters.

Wang Jingyan spoke suddenly,

"His Royal Highness Princess Changle, Minnv is good at painting, and she is considered a painting idiot. Today I heard that Xie Shizi's fiancee gave the princess a painting, Minnv is really curious and wants to see the masterpiece, Minnv asks Her Royal Highness Princess Changle to open a painting. Take a look." After speaking, he looked at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan caught Wang Jingyan's eyes, what is that one going to do?

The sisters of the Wang family of Zuo Xiangfu are also the cousins ​​of the princess Feng Yunchao of Changle and the crown prince. Feng Yunchao did not refuse, and ordered the palace staff to fetch the painting that A Yan had just brought, moved an easel, placed it at the end of the banquet, hung the painting, untied the ropes that bound the painting, and presented a mountain view in the in front of everyone.

Everyone was amazed at the composition and artistic conception of this painting, and it could be seen that the person who painted it was very good at painting.

Feng Yunchao was also good at painting, so she asked the palace servant to take the painting and send it to her for a closer look.

"Is Meishan in the painting?" Feng Yunchao asked A Yan in surprise.

A Yan got up, gave a blessing, and said:

"If you go back to the princess, it is indeed Meishan in the painting."

Feng Yunchao nodded. She once saw a picture of mist and rain in Meishan in the prince's brother's study. The prince's brother was taught by Master Yishan. It was painted by him when he was in Meishan. The scenery of the two paintings is very similar.

"Why do you have this painting?" Feng Yunchao asked Xiang Ayan again.

"Minnu studied painting with Master Yishan in Meishan for a period of time." A Yan replied calmly.

"Are you a disciple of Master Yishan?" Feng Yunchao said again.

"The people are not talented, I'm afraid that the reputation of the teacher will be tarnished." Although Master Yishan did not really teach her to learn painting, but when she was in Meishan, she pestered Master Yishan to learn how to paint, and the master threw a bunch of drawings to her. Learning, this should be regarded as being under the tutelage of Master Yishan, she did not lie.

The whole audience was shocked. Master Yishan was the emperor's teacher. Today, Emperor Hui also studied under Master Yishan, including the current prince.

Mentioning Meishan, Xie Changyuan looked at A Yan. Without her, he would have froze to death in a snowdrift when he was in Meishan. Now, as long as A Yan is willing, he can give her a stable home and protect her for the rest of her life.

Meishan? Qin Yan thought to himself, when did the old man from Yishan accept another apprentice?

But it's possible that we haven't seen each other for a few years. Since he is the old man's disciple, he should also take care of this girl. At this time, Qin Yan didn't mind that this was the current fiancée of his ex-fiancé.

At this time, there seemed to be some commotion in the crowd. Qin Yan followed the eyes of everyone and looked up. There was a group led by Prince Feng Zhan in the front yard. Among them, there were many ministers of civil and military generals. Feng Zhan lowered his head and explained to the people around him. What, a group of people entered the palace in a mighty manner.

Song Zhi, who was beside the prince, walked over quickly, holding a piano case in his hand.

"His Royal Highness Princess Changle, this is the birthday gift from the Crown Prince to the princess."

"I thanked the prince brother on behalf of Ben Gong." Feng Yunchao was full of joy.

When the palace servant beside the princess took the piano case, Song Zhi quickly left.

Feng Yunchao ordered the palace officials to open the violin box, and was immediately shocked, and all the people on the scene were also shocked. It was Guqin Xihe, which I have only seen in ancient books. found.

It seems that the prince really treats his sister very well.

The author says:

Master Yishan originated from the name of Yuan Haowen, a writer of the Jin Dynasty.
