The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

For several days, Qin Yan went to the Prince's Mansion at a fixed point, and got off work at a fixed point. There was no situation where he was busy with official duties until late at night on the first day, and he never really lived in the Prince's Mansion.

These days, Qin Yan has a better understanding of the crown prince, Feng Zhan, and it can be said that he appreciates it a little more.

Prince Feng Zhan, as the heir of the supervising state, is indeed busy with official duties. There is a large court meeting in the imperial city once every three days, and a small court meeting held in the Prince's Mansion from time to time. Occasionally, he also visited various government offices and met courtiers at the Prince's Mansion.

Feng Zhan is very good at using people, and all matters big and small are discussed by his subordinates first.

It can be said that the use of people is not suspicious, and the suspects do not need to be used to the extreme.

On this point, Qin Yan quite agrees.

Feng Zhan's affairs in managing Daxia are more complicated than Qin Yan's own affairs. If you can't trust your subordinates absolutely, you will do everything yourself, and the huge and complicated organization will run slowly, and there will be even bigger problems.

While implementing the decree, monitor the situation and make adjustments. This kind of dynamic management method is more flexible and adaptable to the real environment, and it avoids the closed doors of academic courtiers and aides.

Qin Yan's work in the Prince's Mansion, including commenting on the organized memorials sent from the left and right sides, as well as participating in the meetings of the Prince's Mansion, is equivalent to half of the Prince's Mansion's staff.

During the days when Qin Yan was walking around the Prince's Mansion, he had not found out that the operation of the Prince's Mansion's institutions had been too flawed.

Qin Yan couldn't help but sigh that Da Xia met the prince Feng Zhan, the crown prince, if he was still the emperor in the future, it would be a blessing for Da Xia.

Qin Yan and Feng Zhan get along relatively peacefully, and they are more harmonious in handling official business, and their cooperation is more tacit.

It's just that occasionally the two have some unavoidable physical contact, such as the two brushing their fingertips when they took a book together, or the two inadvertently touching their noses when they were looking at a map together, etc...

At these times, Feng Zhan and Qin Yan both tried their best to restrain and endure, and distracted their thoughts from official duties.

But Feng Zhan and Qin Yan had no emotional experience before they met each other. How do they know that repression will only make feelings stronger.

Officials from various prefectures came to Beijing to celebrate the birthday of the Holy Spirit, and these days, they came to Beijing one after another. They also took this opportunity to bring the church to the summit, to listen to some core trends in the DPRK, and it is best to know some inside information about the Tianjia, so that they can make some preparations in advance to prevent them from slipping their words and angering Tianwei.

Many officials and young ladies in Beijing are also actively preparing for their talents to be displayed at the Longevity Festival. If you are rewarded by the saint, you can win glory for the family. This is in case. The saint is happy to give you a marriage, and some families can even rise to a higher level.

However, there are also aristocratic families who, for various reasons, have arranged marriages for their children before the Longevity Festival.

For example, the marriage between Qin Nian, the second daughter of the second daughter of the Right Prime Minister, Qin Nian, and He Xiao, the eldest son of the Minister of War.

Another example is the marriage between Wang Jingheng, the eldest son of the Zuo Xiangfu, and Han Shuangling, the only daughter of the Marquis of Guannei.

These families were engaged, but they didn't hide it, and the news spread all over Beijing at a very fast speed. Now the teahouses and restaurants are even more lively, and there are many discussions.

"He Xiao, the eldest son of the He House, has not been engaged with Wang Jingyi, the eldest miss of the Zuo Prime Minister's House, for many years? Why did he suddenly change to the second miss of the Right Prime Minister's House?"

"Yeah, I heard that the He Fu and the Zuo Xiangfu are preparing to get married. Why did the bride suddenly change?"

"I heard that it was Da Gongzi He and Miss Wang who did not agree with each other. It was only after they got married that they found out that the characters were in conflict, and the signboard of Dajue Temple was going to be smashed."

"Miss Wang is also pitiful."

"Then Second Miss Qin picked up a big bargain, and her mother was raised as a flat wife by the right minister, so Miss Qin could become the first wife of the eldest son of the Minister of War. If Second Miss Qin was just a concubine, it would This identity."

"Heh, what do you know, Miss Wang is not necessarily pitiful, and Miss Qin is not lucky. Don't you know that the eldest son of the He family is a confidante in the capital? I also heard that the eldest son of the He family is the eldest son of the An family. Miss…"

Everyone "Oh..."

"The Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion is fast enough. The marriage of Prince Wang, who was originally dragging, has been finalized so quickly. The other party is still the only daughter of the Marquis of Guannei who has not been in Beijing for a long time."

"What do you and I do, poor Miss Wang? No matter how many times these noble girls have been rejected, some of the noble families come to the door and step over the threshold to ask for marriage."

…

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Someone in the corner suddenly thought of a question.

"Hey, you said, Zuo Xiangfu is the prince's uncle's house, and Guanneihou's house is the third prince's uncle's house. It's a bit intriguing that these two families are married..."

"Yup…"

"yes…"

"I heard from my colleagues in the study room in the south that the eldest daughter of the right prime minister's mansion, Zhaoren county master, recently joined the staff of the prince's mansion, but the right prime minister's mansion is the uncle's house of the second prince..."

"Tsk tsk..."

"These royal relatives...what are they doing..."

…

The crowd was silent for a moment.

I don't know who opened the mouth,

"This Beijing, I am afraid it is about to change."

------

In order to prepare for the Longevity Festival, the security tasks within the capital city and the imperial city are extremely heavy. Recently, Lu Chen and Xie Changyuan, who are respectively the commanders of the Northern and Southern Guards, have been busy keeping their feet on the ground, constantly checking the loopholes in the guards to prevent any omissions, which may have caused the accident during the last autumn hunt.

Xie Changyuan has not returned to Yongding Hou's mansion since the mid-autumn night banquet. First, he was busy with official business, and secondly, he did not want to go back to the mansion to face A Yan, so he stayed in the Beiya Imperial Barracks these days.

Xie Changyuan also heard about the news of Zhaoren County's entry into the Prince's House staff team. He knew that Qin Yan had an unusual relationship with the prince, but did it progress so quickly? The prince actually let Qin Yan participate in political affairs?

This trend is very similar to that of the Empress Dowager Xiao and the late emperor.

Qin Yan…

Xie Changyuan was very preoccupied, and walked around the forbidden area to inspect the situation of the guards. At the corner of a palace, he came across two men in brocade clothes standing in front of him.

One was Feng Xian, the second prince, and the other... was Feng Yi, the third prince who had not returned to the palace for a long time.

The two His Royal Highnesses seemed to be talking about something. Xie Changyuan was still some distance away from them. He was not in a good mood at the moment.

"Xie Shizi."

Xie Changyuan paused in his footsteps and could only go forward and salute.

"Second prince, third prince."

The two princes look a bit similar, but the third prince Feng Yi is more handsome, and the second prince Feng Xian always has an unconcealed old-fashioned expression on his face.

The third prince, Feng Yichao, nodded to Xie Changyuan, raised his foot to leave, and was called by the second prince, Fengxian.

"Brother Three Emperors, since you came back, I have gone to the grandmother to greet you every day, and I have been turned away every day. Our grandmother has only the prince and brother in her heart, and I don't like you. Why are you doing that useless work?"

The third prince turned his head and looked at Feng Xian, his expression was unremarkable, but his mouth was a bit venomous.

"Second emperor brother, you are fanning your fan in autumn, are you feeling a little feverish?"

…

Feng Xian was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the third emperor's younger brother, who used to say few words in the past, came back this time with such a vicious tongue.

"What do you know, this is a fan made by my cousin Yan Yan and sent to me. Oh, brother of the third emperor, I heard that your cousin of the Guannei Houfu is engaged to the eldest son of the Wang family, right? I always thought that Your cousin is the imperial concubine appointed for you. Don't throw away the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds. If I were you, where would you go to Shou'an Palace at the moment? You should go out of the palace to Guannei Hou's Mansion and ask your Uncle, is there any room to turn around?"

The third prince, Feng Yi, remained calm, but casually swept the jade fracture fan in Feng Xian's hand.

The fan surface fits the scene, it is a desolate autumn mountain, the composition is light but not thin, sparse but neat, and the artistic conception and brushwork are excellent.

Feng Yi didn't take a closer look and turned to leave. He didn't want to waste his words with this idiot, Feng Xian.

But Xie Changyuan caught the inscription in the lower right corner of the fan at a glance, "Leng Qiu."

That word!

Xie Chang Yuan was shocked, and just as he was about to speak, a male voice hurried over,

"I have seen His Royal Highness the Second Prince." It was the deputy commander of the Beiya Imperial Army. After the man saluted the Second Prince, he turned to Xie Changyuan and said:

"Commander, outside Xihua Gate, a brother had a conflict with Nanya's side and moved. The leader over there is Xie Zhao."

Xie Chang Yuan frowned upon hearing this, and immediately opened his mouth,

"His Royal Highness Second Prince, I'm sorry."

Xie Chang Yuan strode away.

Tomorrow is the Longevity Festival, and the guards of the north and south are extremely nervous, and there is sometimes friction at the junction of Nanya and Beiya defenses.

When Xie Changyuan went outside Xihuamen, he saw a stalemate of more than a dozen sergeants on both sides with painted faces, and the person on the opposite side of Nanya was Xie Zhao in the middle.

Xie Zhao, now one of the two deputy commanders of the Nanya Imperial Army, was used by Lu Chong, or in other words, by the Crown Prince.

Lu Chen also heard about the farce here and strode over.

"What's going on, I've had enough to eat." Lu Chen scolded his subordinates on Nanya's side, but there was no lack of intimidation in his words.

At this time, a voice from Nanya said:

"It was they who made trouble first, and they said that Deputy Commander Xie was... Yes..." The words after that, but they couldn't say it.

Deputy Commander Xie, that's Xie Zhao.

The Beiya Imperial Army was a subordinate of Xie Changyuan. Those things about Yongding Hou's mansion are not a secret in Shangjing. What can the subordinate's unspoken words mean, and what vocabulary does he have, you don't need to think about it to know if it's not a good word.

Lu Chen said to the crowd:

"Tomorrow is the longevity festival. No matter whether it is Nanya or Beiya, there can be no mistakes."

"Commander Xie, I will restrain my subordinates, and I hope Commander Xie will do the same."

Lu Chen looked at Xie Changyuan, who didn't say a word, with a serious expression. This matter involves the family affairs of Yongding Hou's mansion, and he can't say much.

Xie Changyuan looked at Lu Shen and Xie Zhao with cold eyes, but in the end he didn't speak, and left with someone.

Lu Chen reluctantly glanced at Xie Zhao with a bad look, and turned to leave. The matter of the Marquis of Yongding has always been a problem, and Xie Zhao's background might be an obstacle to his rise.

And Xie Zhao couldn't think of the worry in Lu Chen's heart.

Xie Zhao stood there, silent for a long time.

Imperial City, Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

Since returning to the Taoist Palace, the queen has returned to her own duties and reinstated the phoenix seal.

When Concubine Xian was aborted in the Queen's Palace, the Empress and Concubine Xian seemed to have a tacit understanding and never mentioned it again.

The queen and the concubine Xian only get along like ordinary concubines, and there is no sisterhood at all.

Today, the queen still asks Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu to assist in the affairs of the harem. Since Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu have arranged the Wanshou Festival in advance, and let them handle it, the Empress has become a caretaker who is not leisurely.

Since returning to the palace, the queen has been meeting the wife every day, and she is quite tired. Fortunately, Feng Yunchao has assisted the queen in Kunning Palace.

Today, Feng Yunchao is also unshakable to accompany the queen, and he also met Feng Zhan, the prince who took time to visit the queen for the first time in these days.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, the main hall of Kunning Palace, the Queen, Princess Changle Feng Yunchao and Prince Feng Zhan were separated to gossip.

Without a few greetings, the queen asked the prince Feng Zhan:

"I heard Yun Chao say that the prince and the county master of Zhaoren are very close?" In the queen's words, the word "extremely" was slightly dragged, which meant that kind of relationship.

Feng Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the Queen, and then moved his gaze to Feng Yunchao's face.

Feng Yunchao was a little uneasy at this moment, the eyes of the emperor's brother were as if she made a small report to the queen mother. However, only when the queen mother talks about the matter of the prince and the emperor's brother, can she stay here for a while longer. She didn't say anything nonsense, she just told the truth...

The queen said softly:

"The prince must have her?"

Feng Yunchao looked at the prince Feng Zhan, and she was also curious about what attitude the emperor had towards Qin Yan.

Feng Zhan was silent for a moment, and his speech was simple and clear.

"She is the only one in this life."

Feng Yunchao was shocked.

How long have these two talents been in contact, and the emperor's brother is so devoted to this, and Qin Yan is the only one in this life?

The queen didn't change her expression, she picked up the tea cup in silence, and was about to bring it to her lips, when a mammy's voice came from outside the hall,

"Niangniang, Miss An of the University Shifu is asking to see you."

Because An Yanxi has a good relationship with Feng Yunchao, she can be granted permission to enter the palace on weekdays. These days, she often visits the Queen in Kunning Palace.

Feng Zhan raised his eyebrows in displeasure, and the queen suddenly put down the teacup and spoke, with a cold voice:

"This palace is tired, and there are no guests today."

Feng Yunchao was a little surprised, but the queen mother liked Yan Xi very much, and she never rejected Yan Xi in the past.

Could it be because of what the emperor said just now?

Feng Zhan was busy with official business, and he left the palace and returned to the Prince's Mansion after a short time.

------

After the prince left, Feng Yunchao still tangled up and asked the queen:

"Queen Mother..." Feng Yunchao didn't know how to ask the question when he opened his mouth.

The Queen understood what she was going to ask in her heart, and looked at Feng Yunchao with a very serious expression.

"You and I will always remember that in this deep palace, we can only rely on your royal brother."

"We have to admit that your knowledge and mine are far inferior to your royal brother. If we want to rely on him, we must absolutely trust him."

"As long as your royal brother wants, all we can do is to do our best to help him."

"Life in the palace is bright on the outside, and how difficult it is on the inside. Yun Chao, you should know. The three of us are one, and we must not fight internally."

"Yun Chao, you have to remember what I said."

Feng Yunchao came out of Kunning Palace, constantly recalling what his mother said just now.

Yes, the only one they can rely on is the Crown Prince.

Feng Yunchao made a decision in her heart. She decided that she would never help Yan Xi again, and she had to make Yan Xi give up on the prince and brother.

Feng Yunchao looked around outside the Kunning Palace gate and asked the guards at the gate:

"When did Miss An leave?"

The guard replied:

"Back to Princess Changle, Miss An was called away by people from the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace."

Feng Yunchao!

Grandmother?

Hasn't the grandmother been seen for a long time, and why?

Feng Yunchao felt a little uneasy in his heart, and only hoped that tomorrow's Longevity Festival would not cause more troubles.
