The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

The second-tier queen Jingyan of Zuo Xiang was a little disappointed. She told Princess Feng Yunchao of Changle that she wanted to watch the painting because she expected that A Yan, who did not know the details, would not be able to come up with anything good. She was going to take the face of Xie Shizi's fiancee A Yan and sell her favor to Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County.

As far as she knows, the Zhaoren County Lord is a famous person in the imperial palace. Her father also said that the meaning of the Holy One might also allow the County Lord to enter the Prince's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, this favor was not sold, and he even made steps for the little girl and jumped up. The disciple of the emperor, this status is not too low to enter the Houfu. It was a miscalculation, but she was really unwilling.

According to her father's wishes, she was going to enter the Prince's Mansion, not as a concubine but also as a concubine. When the prince ascends the throne, the emperor's heart will not be obtained. She understands this reason, and she does not want to fight for the sole favor of the emperor in such a whimsical way. If Qin Yan can also enter the Prince's Mansion, can she find an ally in the harem ahead of time?

I heard that the owner of Zhaoren County has run a horse farm and is also a businessman. Maybe they can talk about it together. Unlike the self-proclaimed noble eldest daughter of the An family, who pretended to be high-minded and would not enter.

Wang Jingyan was about to speak again, but a hand held her right shoulder. She turned her head in confusion, it was her eldest sister, Wang Jingyi.

Wang Jingyi didn't say a word, but her eyes were cold and warning.

Her eldest sister, although she doesn't speak much on weekdays, has a very low sense of existence. But her father reminded her to try her best not to confront the eldest sister. She swallowed her unspoken words.

At this time, it was Mengxia, the garden was full of flowers, the warm wind was blowing, and the air was full of sweet and drunk.

The dining room of the Prince's Mansion has superb cooking skills, delicious wine and food, singing and dancing, and everyone is happy.

------

On the way back to the mansion, on the carriage of the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, the Queen of the Zuo Prime Minister's eldest daughter Jingyi changed her deafness to her sister and said coldly:

"While you still have the title of Second Miss Zuo Xiangfu, give me a stop, Yu Yan."

Wang Jingyan was surprised when she heard the other person call her adoptive parents' house in Yangzhou, and turned to sadness.

"Eldest sister, you have been raised in a high-level clan since you were a child, and received the best care from your father, mother and brother. You haven't experienced my unfortunate encounter. Do you want to sprinkle salt on my wound?"

Wang Jingyi knew very well that her younger sister was a kind-hearted person, she was impatient to deal with her, and her words were not clear, the younger sister seemed to pretend not to understand,

"I'll just say it once. Whether it's the Zhaoren County Master or the Prince Xie of Yongding Hou's Mansion, it's not something you can provoke. I'm not interested in the things my father planned with you. Otherwise, I advise you not to mess around. Mind. Yu Yan, did you hear it clearly?"

"What do you mean, what do you know?" Wang Jingyan's heart was full of alarms. The other party called her former name twice, what did she know? Impossible, my father wouldn't tell her, is she cheating on me?

"You better take care of yourself, that prospective brother-in-law doesn't know which oiran songstress is on the warm bed at the moment!" Since the eldest sister is no longer pretending, Wang Jingyan also intends to make excuses with her again.

Wang Jingyi didn't speak again, He Xiao, he didn't come to Princess Changle's birthday party, because he didn't want to see that person.

This silly girl opposite thought she was playing a trick with her on the back of the phone?

Heh, the water in Beijing is deep, the trick that this guy learned from Houzhai tried to play with people's hearts, and he didn't know how he lost his life by then. Does she want to do favors for Zhaoren County Master?

With that county owner's style, I'm afraid he won't buy it.

------

Today, Xie Changyuan went to the banquet because of official business. Because of Qin Yan, he made a lot of mistakes several times, which made him very irritable.

His Beiya Imperial Army was directly under the Sage. The situation in the DPRK was tense these days, and he could have ignored it, but now Xie Zhao is back. Xie Zhao led the fourth-rank General Mingwei, a false title of a military officer, without real power, but one day he will be assigned a real post.

If Xie Zhao was allowed to climb onto his head, he would be shameless to face Izumi's mother.

He shouldn't make mistakes again and again for the sake of his children's love. The matter has come to this point, he and Qin Yan have nothing to do with each other. He owes A Yan a life, and in the remaining days, he should treat A Yan wholeheartedly.

In the days when Xie Changyuan was completely focused on his business affairs, he was confused by an imperial decree that suddenly came out of the palace.

The imperial decree said that Xie Changyuan, the prince of Yongding Hou's mansion, and Miss A Yan were in love with each other, but girl A Yan was not born from a high background, so she was given as the side room of the prince of Yongding Hou and was a concubine.

The sage is... keeping his wife's position, does that mean...

When A Yan heard it, she was hit in the head. It was unbelievable. She always thought that the marriage was the right room, but something changed.

Side room! Concubine! That's not a concubine!

Even if I moved out of Master Yishan in vain, the result is still the same. How can I become the wife of brother Zhang Yuan? Does she have to reveal her identity? But will it bring more trouble?

How could A Yan imagine that the royal family would not arbitrarily marry a woman of unknown origin to the Prince of Yongding Marquis as his wife.

Emperor Hui just wanted to create some obstacles between Qin Yan and Xie Changyuan, so he wouldn't be so disrespectful, and it was enough to give A Yan the status of the side room.

It's the rainy season, and it's been raining for days, and people are not interested.

He Xiao asked Xie Changyuan to go boating on the lake and drink.

"This is the newly arrived Sophora japonica brew, which was shipped from Jiangnan. I took the fresh Sophora japonica flowers this year, soaked them in the best Nurse Red, and let them sit for a month. The restaurant said that the wine will taste better after more than a month. , I don't believe in this evil, we brothers will try it today."

He Xiao pushed the two jars of wine in front of him to Xie Changyuan, raised his own jar of wine, and took a sip.

Although He Xiao when he was a child was very different from his current rambunctious appearance, Xie Changyuan was already used to the rambunctious appearance of the young man in front of him now.

Xie Changyuan raised the wine jar, put the mouth of the jar on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly. A scent of wine mixed with a hint of locust blossoms overflowed into his nose. He instantly believed the restaurant's words. The scent of locust blossoms will also be more intense.

Xie Chang Yuan raised his head and took a sip of cold wine. The wine passed through his stomach. He suddenly realized that something was wrong. He didn't have something to eat to support his stomach. As soon as the two met, they sipped the wine jar, and they were like two frustrated people.

There was the sound of raindrops hitting the awning of the boat in my ears. The sound of rain outside the curtain was complicated, and the two people inside the curtain had mixed emotions. Xie Changyuan opened his mouth to break the dull atmosphere.

"Why do you think of making a wine appointment today, it's raining, and you're still on the boat?"

I don't know if it was because of drinking too much, He Xiao's eyes were a little congested and red.

"Did she also go that day?"

she? Or her?

Xie Changyuan thought of Qin Yan immediately in his heart, and instantly came over to Qingming.

"The eldest daughter of the An family?"

He Xiao took another sip of wine.

Xie Changyuan immediately understood, but He Xiao still couldn't let it go.

The two opened two more jars of wine and drank each other listening to the sound of rain.

------

He Xiao was not what he is now when he was young. His father was only a military servant at that time, and he disciplined him extremely strictly. He did not drink a drop of alcohol.

Since when did he become like this?

Every year on Qixi Festival, He Xiao would express his intentions to An Yanxi, but every time he was rejected by the eldest daughter of the An family, even his father scolded him for being delusional year after year.

Finally, on the Tanabata night a few years ago, he finally couldn't bear it, and he questioned An Yanxi,

"The risk in the army is extremely high. If the prince dies unfortunately, do you still have to wait for him? Is it worth waiting for him for so many years?"

"If he's gone, I won't live alone." An Yanxi's expression was calm, and she seemed to take her words for granted. Although she didn't have a marriage contract with the prince, they didn't even say a word, but the prince was her obsession.

An Yanxi's elder brother, An Wenjing, was the prince's companion. Since she was a child, she had seen the prince many times because of her elder brother's relationship. She admired him and adored him. Sooner or later, the crown prince will marry the righteous concubine, the side concubine, and Liang Di. She also has a high enough family background to enter the East Palace. She only needs to make herself better, she just needs to wait.

He Xiao also has his obsessions. His obsession stemmed from a fall into the water when he was a child. At that time, he didn't know water. His father often pressed his head into the water to let him learn. He became more and more afraid of water, which made him fall into the water. For the laughing stock of the sons of the aristocratic family in Beijing.

It was also a rainy season, and it was also on a painting boat. I don't know who pushed him off the boat while he was not paying attention. He fluttered weakly in the icy water, and he still remembered intermittently hearing the sons of the noble families standing on the eaves laughing. Xie Changyuan went into the water to save him, and when he was rescued onto the boat, the sons of the aristocratic families were still laughing at him for being useless.

It was An Yanxi who took off his cloak and draped it over him regardless of men and women. Turning to face those young ladies who made fun of him, her voice was not high, but she had a strong voice:

"No one is perfect, everyone has their strengths, but also their weaknesses. Everyone is not always so smooth, when you encounter difficulties, at that time, you also hope that others will stand by you? I also hope that others will treat you like this. sneer?"

An Yanxi was born in a scholar's mansion, and on weekdays, she speaks with great weight in front of the young ladies of aristocratic families.

That time for He Xiao to clear the siege, let He Xiao engrave her in his heart, year after year. But in the other party's heart, there is also another person engraved, another person He Xiao may never be able to match in this life.

After An Yanxi's repeated rejections, He Xiao left the Ministry of War and went to the Ministry of Housing to take a spare job as a clerk.

------

"Miss An's family may not be able to enter the Prince's Mansion. The Prince doesn't seem to mean that. Maybe you still have a chance." Xie Changyuan couldn't bear to look down on He Xiao's self-abandonment. It's not worth it to make himself so sloppy for a woman. when.

Seeing that He Xiao was just drinking and didn't say anything, Xie Changyuan said again:

"But if you continue to spend time in the household, it's hard to say who the flowers will fall. Even if the prince doesn't have that interest, the prince of Duan Wang's mansion in Youzhou was also fond of your Bai Yueguang back then."

He Xiao did not respond to his friend's statement, but he joked half-jokingly:

"Girl Ayan was given a side room for marriage, do you have any thoughts on Qin Yan?"

"Drink from your bar!" Xie Chang Yuan raised his head to drink, covering the complexities in his eyes.

There was rain and fog on the lake outside the boat, and strands of it were pulled into the wind.

The two people in the boat also had thousands of knots in their hearts.

In the Prince's Mansion, the incense burner in the study is burning with aloes, and Prince Feng Zhan is grading the book.

Song Zhi came in, "Your Highness."

"What's the matter?" Feng Zhan squeezed his eyebrows slightly, his voice slightly hoarse.

"At the birthday banquet of Princess Changle that day, the fiancee of Xie Shizi of Yongding Houfu said that she was a disciple of Master Yishan, and she went to ask Xie Shizi for confirmation. Xie Shizi said that he really met the girl Ayan in Meishan, and that girl still Taking him to Wanxuezhai of Master Yishan, Xie Shizi said that there is an old plum tree in the yard."

"That's it." Feng Zhan's voice was a little tired.

The Prince's Mansion is on the outskirts of Beijing, and he needs to enter the palace for large and small court meetings. Even if you have gone through each other once, there will still be a mountain of excerpts, and it is not the way to go on like this.

"His Royal Highness, I remember that when I was in the Shuobei Army, Master Yishan came to write a letter. At that time, His Highness was busy with official business, and the Master's letter was read to His Highness by his subordinates." Song Zhi said.

"Huh?" Feng Zhan looked at Song Zhi.

"Master Yishan said in the letter that he has a new female disciple, yes..." Song Zhi hesitated to say what to say.

"Tell me." Feng Zhan was so busy that he didn't touch the ground, he didn't care what the old man from Yishan said in the letter, he only vaguely remembered that it was not important.

"Master Yishan said that he accepted a junior sister for His Royal Highness, who was looking for a crown princess for His Highness... But the Master did not reveal her name, it was mysterious, only that His Highness would be satisfied..." Song Zhi saw the Prince's complexion becoming more and more serious. It's getting darker and darker, but these things have to be said, so as not to miss His Highness's affairs.

Feng Zhan was very helpless to this master and messed up the mandarin ducks.

But if it is the old man's disciple, as a senior brother, he should also take care of him.

"Let the dark guard protect the woman's safety. If she encounters any problems, help her according to the situation." Feng Zhan's tone was a little tired.

Song Zhi was surprised, His Highness agreed? Are they going to have a princess?

"Send someone to watch the people who come in and out of Zhaoren County's main residence every day, and report any changes in time." Feng Zhan said, Qin Yan, this woman has too many mysteries, so it's better to keep it under your eyes.
