many worries

After Qiao Yu knew that Jing Yan had already made arrangements, he didn't take Feng Nannan's discovery of himself very seriously. He just didn't go out again. At least until this matter was resolved, he wouldn't step out of Xianlin Palace again. .Fortunately, it's winter now, it's very cold outside, it's better to stay inside to keep warm, Qiao Yu is not too anxious.

He has nothing to do, but draws some notebooks all day long, thinking that if he can sell more, he can donate some quilts to the victims of the disaster.Moreover, he heard that the abbot of the Dabei Temple is also encouraging the wealthy families in Beijing to help the victims. If they can donate 1 taels of silver, the abbot can personally light an ever-burning lamp, worship and chant sutras every day, and may the Buddha bless you for peace.Qiao Yu doesn't believe this, but because Jing Yan reads scriptures all day long, he really wants to order one for him.

In the past, when Empress Chen was there, there was also Jingyan's ever-burning lamp in the treasure hall of Dabei Temple. Later, the Chen family beheaded the whole family for the crime of treason, so naturally the ever-burning lamp could not be lit.But Qiao Yu always felt it was a pity. At that time, he thought that he would light one for the Jingyan, but he had no money when he was in the Taiqing Palace. When he came out, he found that the incense in the Dabei Temple was too strong. , Qiao Yu didn't have that good luck.

Fortunately, I have this opportunity.

Qiao Yu was so busy that she didn't even have time for snacks, so she occasionally took a sip of warm tea and asked Jin Fu while describing the scene, "What is Your Highness doing lately? The disaster relief is almost over."

Jinfu replaced the cold sugar cake for him, "It is said that aristocratic families from Longnan, Chengchun, and Baili have come to Beijing to report on their duties. There are so many of them, and it takes a long time to pay homage to His Highness."

Qiao Yu nodded, thinking it was true, he was born in the Qiao family in Longnan. Although he was not very old, he still vaguely remembered that during the Chinese New Year, his house could hardly accommodate so many people.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was established for more than two hundred years, which is not a short time, but those aristocratic clans have always been powerful, and they have not fallen for almost a thousand years, so that in some places only the patriarchs are recognized but not the emperor.The Qiao family's connections are weak, their lineage is withered, and they are not married to other families in Longnan. Emperor Yuande did it back then.And other families are deeply entrenched, even if they kill the current head of the family, it will be difficult to shake the foundation.In addition to holding one piece of land, these aristocratic families also opened many academies, and scholars from all over the world came out of them.

And this time, there was another matter in the report, that is, around the winter solstice, there was a conflict between the palace and the Baili Chen family.Emperor Yuande picked a place with excellent geomantic omen and wanted to build a palace and an observatory, which was chosen by the Taoist Qianqing himself.But exactly half of that land was the Baili Chen family's sacrificial field. Emperor Yuande refused to give up an inch, first occupied the land by force, and then allocated money to go down.Although the Chen family didn't have an army, they were one family. This time they went to Beijing to unite the families in two places in the south of Baililong and ask Emperor Yuande for an explanation.

The land is already coming, and it is impossible to give it away, but the family is really troublesome.This time they also mentioned what happened to the Qiao family many years ago. Now the Qiao family only has a few branches lingering, and they dare not compete with Emperor Yuande, but the others are not fools. It is just that the blood of the Qiao family is broken. I can't recover anymore, I just endured it all the time.

At this time, the old matter was brought up again, in order to persecute Emperor Yuande.

Emperor Yuande had a headache for a long time, but he couldn't think of a way. He didn't want to give the land, and he couldn't return to Longnan as a Qiao family.

It was at this time that Jing Yan wrote to Qiao Yu about it.It is said that when the East Palace was sealed off, Qiao Yu was lured to the side of the road, and a few words of comfort would have smothered him to death.Fortunately, it was raining and the ground was wet and slippery, so Qiao Yu managed to escape, but he had nowhere to go, so he got mixed up with the little eunuch, and finally entered the Taiqing Palace.

He has prepared for a long time, from inciting the family to enter the capital, to vague evidence, everything is available.Not long ago, he even entrusted him with something, and he didn't refuse, because it was related to Qiao Yu's life, so he dared not refuse.

What's more, what Jing Yan said was half true and half false, but it happened to match the old incident six years ago.At that time, Feng Nannan wanted Jing Yan's life, charged him with more crimes, buried a corpse under the small pavilion in the East Palace, and was finally discovered by Emperor Yuande, and nothing happened.But if there is a real corpse, why find a fake one.It would be more reasonable if Feng Nannan sent someone to arrest Qiao Yu, but Qiao Yu ran away by herself.

Emperor Yuande believed in six or seven points when he thought of this, but that's all.He was a bit fatter than before, but he panted heavily when he spoke. He propped up his body and looked at Jing Yan with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, "It's a coincidence. Just going to Taiqing Palace."

Jing Yan was unhurried. He didn't even plead guilty. He just explained: "My son grew up with Qiao Yu since he was a child. The deep friendship is no different from that of ordinary brothers. He risked the crime of treason and injustice, but he just I want to spend my whole life with my son in the cold palace."

Now Qiao Yu is an important person, and he has to be used to appease the aristocratic family in Longnan, so no matter what, at least for the time being, Emperor Yuande will never touch him, and will greatly praise him for outsiders to see. Hearing the words, he just smiled, "He is an excellent kid. He was only so young six years ago. He has already done such a righteous deed. He really deserves to be commended. How about this? I want to see him tomorrow and reward him for his dedication over the years." Loyal and loyal, after all, he is also the orphan of the Qiao family in Longnan, so he is always different from others. After the rewards are over, you can take him to see the people from the Chen family, lest they worry too much."

All of this was within Jing Yan's expectation. He complied, only to hear Emperor Yuande's voice was gloomy, with a hint of mockery that was hard to detect, "I didn't expect that you and him have such a deep relationship. If you tell them too."

Jing Yan didn't speak any more.

So Qiao Yu got such news that night, and it exploded in front of his eyes like a thunderbolt.

After so many years, he didn't have much courage, and asked tremblingly: "What, what should I do? I haven't seen His Majesty yet, and I still want to talk..."

In Qiao Yu's mind, Emperor Yuande was a very terrifying person.He forced empress Chen to death, imprisoned the prince, and he could decide the life and death of others with one word without any scruples.

Jing Yan touched his head lightly and slowly, "What are you afraid of? With me here, what could happen?"

Qiao Yu looked at him eagerly, and finally nodded silently.

He fell asleep chanting these words, dreaming of those words, Jing Yan who was listening to him couldn't laugh or cry.

Jing Yan couldn't help thinking, he was still so timid, if he was asked to be the queen in the future, he didn't know how frightened he would be.

Are you too afraid to say no?

Jing Yan looked at Qiao Yu nestled on his shoulder, sleeping soundly, and thought, how could he refuse?At that time, you have to get it if you don’t want it.

The second day was a sunny day, Qiao Yu didn't have to wear eunuch clothes anymore, she picked out a maroon winter coat, wore a bright blue cloak, her long hair fell loose, and inserted a hairpin made of Hetian jade.He had been an eunuch for six years, and he was still not used to the sudden change of clothes. He took a photo in front of the bronze mirror curiously, turned around, and was much more romantic than those descendants of Jiangnan Chengchun's aristocratic family. No one can compare to whoever made him look so good.

Qiao Yu had a dream about his childhood yesterday, and he asked Jing Yan, "Will I be ashamed to see the Chen family?" , said that he is so thin and weak, and he doesn't study hard, and when he grows up, he is also the bottom of the family, and he can't be romantic.Qiao Yu doesn't have a very good memory, but Qiu remembers it very deeply, and he can't forget it after all these years.

Jing Yan comforted him, "I met them, and there is no one who looks more romantic than you. Don't be afraid, just answer according to what I told you yesterday. If you can't answer it, it doesn't matter, it will take a long time. Can't recall clearly."

He grabbed Qiao Yu's hand and said those few words softly, "Everything is mine."

Qiao Yu stared blankly at Jing Yan, he actually couldn't care about his appearance now, he said those words just to ease his tension, and didn't want Jing Yan to see it, but his Ah Ci was too powerful, know everything.

"I have everything."

Yes, for Qiao Yu, having Jing Yan means having everything, and he doesn't have to be afraid of anything anymore.

The journey between Xianlin Palace and Daming Palace was not too far away, and soon, the two arrived in front of Daming Palace accompanied by a mighty group of people.Jing Yan led Qiao Yu in. The structure of the Daming Hall was repetitive and there were so many doors that it was impossible to see inside. Qiao Yu didn't dare to make a wrong move, for fear that something might happen here.

After going around a few times, Qiao Yu finally saw Emperor Yuande, and he just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, then immediately knelt down and made a big salute.He was so nervous that his palms were sweating, but he thought inexplicably that Emperor Yuande wasn't that scary.He always thought that he had done so many cruel and vicious things, and he had such a ferocious face, but at a glance just now, it was just an old man in his twilight years.

Emperor Yuande asked Qiao Yu to get up and came closer to have a look.As soon as Jing Yan disclosed this matter yesterday, he immediately asked the secret guard to investigate. The result was naturally what Jing Yan wanted him to see, but the evidence could not be perfect, and there were still minor flaws. come over.

Yixin knew that Chen Sang wanted the prince to die, but he couldn't remain indifferent to Qiao Yu's matter.

So today, Emperor Yuande believed it eighty-nine points. He had no impression of Qiao Yu before, but now it is different. He wants to use Qiao Yu to fill the mouths of those aristocratic families.

Emperor Yuande praised Qiao Yu again, saying that he was a young hero, affectionate and righteous. Qiao Yu lost his mind, focused all his attention on Xin Xin who was at the side, and stuck out his tongue at him boldly.

Xinxin's smile froze.

What matters is not Qiao Yu, but the identity he represents now.Emperor Yuande carefully instructed Qiao Yu on how to meet the Chen family and how to be favored by the emperor, and only after a while did he let Yingxin announce his will.

Qiao Yu retreated, knelt behind Jing Yan, and slowly retreated after receiving the order.

It was already dark outside, the Daming Hall was brightly lit, and a crowd of eunuchs and guards were waiting in front of the door.

They were standing in the backlight, and Jing Yan took Qiao Yu's hand naturally. The sweat in his palm was still wet, and he smiled softly, "Are you still so scared? Is your back also wet with sweat. "

Qiao Yu retorted, "No way. I was a little scared at first, but when I looked up, I could see His Highness in front of me, so I wasn't afraid of anything."

This is the truth.When he saw Emperor Yuande for the first time, even if he just knelt there and listened, he still had lingering fears.But Jing Yan is also in front of him, his back is very broad, extremely strong, even if nothing can knock him down, and he is protecting himself at this moment.

Jing Yan asked all the guards and eunuchs to go back first, picked a small path, and led Qiao Yu back slowly.

Qiao Yu had never kneeled before, and her bones were not very good. After walking two steps, her knees hurt so badly that her steps slowed down a lot.

Just as he was thinking about how the road was so long and he couldn't reach the end no matter how he walked, Jing Yan bent down, squatted halfway in front of Qiao Yu, turned his head and smiled slightly, "Come up, I'll carry you back."

Qiao Yu only hesitated for a blink of an eye, and jumped on it joyfully.Jing Yan often hugs him, but the back is very rare, and the back and the hug are different, and they are different intimacy.

Jing Yan carried him on his back, seeming to take no effort, but also very precious, walking step by step on the path not far from the lake.A circle of colorful lights was placed on the ice surface by the lake, and through the dead trees and grass, it faintly illuminated the path in front of him, faintly, and it took a lot of effort to see clearly.

Qiao Yu's face was pressed against Jing Yan's back, that spot was hot, and he asked softly, "Your Highness, will it be Qiao Yu again in the future, and I don't need to be a little eunuch Liang Yu anymore."

Jing Yan smiled, answered "um" from his throat, and said slowly: "Is it wronged and regretted, I have been a little eunuch Liangyu for many years."

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, "The thing I don't regret the most in my life is becoming a young eunuch Liangyu."

After a pause, the whole person climbed up, his chin resting on the opponent's thick shoulder, his cheek against his cheek, and he said in a vicious voice: "Ah Ci is really bad, knowing that I have no regrets or wronged, but you still want me Say something like this, and then I will refute it to you. Isn't this very nice, you just keep teasing me."

Because they were too close, Qiao Yu's soft and moist lips moved along with the steps, and they always inadvertently stuck to Jing Yan's ear, faintly, suddenly near and then far away.

It's so soft, you can feel the wonderful taste in it just by touching it a little.

Jing Yan's throat was tight, he rarely lost his composure and couldn't control his emotions, but now his voice was hoarse, "Xiaoyu, don't move around."

Qiao Yu had to be reasonable and relentless, relentless, and even got closer, her breath was in Jing Yan's ears, "Is it right?"

Jing Yan sighed, there was nothing he could do about it, "Well, yes. So Xiaoyu will tell me more in the future."

Only then did Qiao Yu settle down.His entire upper body was against Jing Yan's back, rising and falling, the two of them seemed to be integrated into one, and nothing could separate them.

After returning to Xianlin Palace, Jinfu served them dinner, and as soon as Qiao Yu took off her clothes, she got into bed and read a book.He was lying on the quilt, his coat was very thin and scattered into a ball, the thin white skin around his waist was completely exposed, and it was red, and there was a shallow waist, which was sunken like that, as if he was attracting others kiss.

Jing Yan should kiss her, but not now.

Probably due to being too tired, Qiao Yu fell asleep by herself not long after.

Jin Fu sent in today's news, just when she saw Jing Yan holding Qiao Yu and moving him into the quilt, her movements were light and gentle.

She used to dare not say much to Jing Yan.Jing Yan was a good master, but no one could guess what was going on in his heart. Jin Fu was worried that what he said would be wrong, so he simply didn't speak and only did things.But after following Qiao Yu's side, she saw Jing Yan and Qiao Yu together a lot, so she dared to say a few jokes to Jing Yan, "Your Highness treats the young master so well, but he always doesn't tell the truth. When will this happen?" Only then can a beautiful woman return home. It is said that it is a family and a career, and His Highness’s great event will be accomplished, and then it will become a career and a family.”

Jing Yan was not as cold and indifferent as usual. When it came to Qiao Yu, he was always gentler than others. He just smiled and pulled the quilt for Qiao Yu. His eyes were deep, "He is still young. It's messed up now, what's the rush?"

Both left and right are by his side, and they can't run out.

Jinfu stopped mentioning it, and murmured in her heart, of course she is not in a hurry, isn't she afraid that the master will be in a hurry?

After a few days, Qiao Yu went to see the Chen family with all his favors, and Chen Yinyang did come. He was handsome and polite, and he was like two people from when he was a child.

Like a mascot, Qiao Yu made two laps in front of those people.The Chen family regretted it a lot. They just wanted to find another reason, but now it has become a reason to gag them.It is impossible for them to treat Qiao Yu with any sincerity, but they just boasted a few words in a hypocritical manner.

Before leaving that night, Qiao Yu bid farewell to Chen Yinyang, and he heard a very soft sentence ringing in his ears, "Why don't you die, life is troublesome, and it will be fine if you die."

Only Qiao Yu heard those words, he raised his head to look at Chen Yinyang again, the handsome young man smiled at him, as if he hadn't said anything just now, but his eyes were full of ridicule, as if to warn Qiao Yu that he had no proof.

Then Qiao Yu found Jing Yan from the crowd, and immediately made a fuss.He never needed any evidence to sue Jing Yan, as long as it was what he said, Jing Yan did not take it seriously.

Later, Qiao Yu didn't go there again, but heard that Chen Yinyang seemed to be commented, "It's hard to live up to his reputation" because he couldn't answer Emperor Yuande's question in front of the hall.

Even Qiao Yu didn't bother to inquire about this, but he could hear it from the little eunuch who was just sweeping the floor, and it probably spread throughout the harem.

As for the matter in the harem, it has always been impossible to hide it from the previous dynasty.

The fact that Qiao Yu is still alive and has grown up to support the family will spread much faster than this.

The county master of Fujia, who was practicing in the ancient temple on the mountain, found out after half a month. When she heard the news, the ancient temple couldn't stay any longer, and immediately called a carriage to return to Beijing.

Her Xiaoyu is not dead, but is still alive in this world.

The governor of Fujia County only wanted to see Qiao Yu, but Qiao Yu was in the deep palace, so he couldn't easily see him.But the parents of the county head of Fujia County have both died long ago. As a county head, she has no power and power, and it is impossible for the Feng family to write letters for her. , Grace once, to fulfill her only wish.

The head of Fujia County has long lost relatives in this world. Feng Jiayi married far away in Longnan, and she didn't even see the bones. She also thought that Qiao Yu died in the palace, so she was extremely disheartened and had nothing to worry about.But she is a very stubborn and strong person, and the Buddhist scriptures say that those who commit suicide are guilty, they cannot be saved, and they can’t even see the people they miss after death, so they support themselves in this world, eating fast and praying for blessings every day, for Feng Jiayi And pray for Qiao Yu's death.

But now it's different.

Emperor Yuande wouldn't even read those greetings, but there was a lot going on with the county lord of Fujia, so let Jing Yan know first.He asked people to investigate for a long time, and the Fujia county magistrate really had Qiao Yu in his heart and eyes, so he was going to let them meet.

Because Jing Yan knew that Qiao Yu still missed his grandmother and relatives very much, although he never said it.

By that day, it was spring.There is almost no decoration in the house of the Fujia County Lord, except for a Buddha statue, everything else is empty.She got up early in the morning, put on some makeup in front of the mirror, put on a set of gem hair, and a new long navy blue dress.

The Lord of Fujia County stretched out his hand, touched himself in the mirror, and asked in a low voice to his mother who had been with him for thirty years, "I am an ancient Buddha with green lanterns every day, and I haven't cleaned myself up for a long time. I don't know if Xiaoyu will see me. She won't look scared, she doesn't look like his grandmother anymore, but an old woman in her seventies and eighties."

The nanny hurriedly said: "What's wrong with Young Master Biao? He came to the capital when he was four years old. He was only a little bit older. He couldn't be more innocent and lively. He won't let go of you when he hugs you. He doesn't even want a lady. He insists on feeding him sugar cakes. Even if he is Growing up, seeing old age at the age of three, presumably there will not be any major changes now."

The county master of Fujia is timid because of his closeness to his hometown, and he is confused when he cares about it. Hearing this, he calmed down a bit, "I think so too, Xiaoyu is a good boy, I know it, I know it, he is just as miserable as his mother."

She had been away from Beijing to practice for several years, so she didn't know everything, but when she thought that Qiao Yu was in the palace, she had no choice but to inquire about the news.The news almost killed her. It was said that Qiao Yu was Jing Yan's prostitute, who was hidden in the Xianlin Palace and could not get out day and night.

County Mistress Fujia couldn't sleep well all night. She drank several pills before regaining some energy. She got up and wrote a letter of greetings, "Then how can you blame Qiao Yu? He's just a little boy." Child, people don’t just do what they want to do to him. I’m his grandmother. If you don’t care about him and believe in him, who else will treat him well? I have to go find him soon.”

The people sent by Jing Yan took the Lord Fujia over, and arranged the meeting place in a small pavilion in the imperial garden. The Lord Fujia saw a person sitting in the pavilion from a distance, and she quickened her pace, and all manners and rules were ignored. Forget it, I just want to see Qiao Yu sooner.

Qiao Yu got up very early, and it took quite a while to arrive.He Cai Jingyan said that he still has a grandmother in this world, and he loves him very much, thinking that he is dead, eating fast and praying every day, only hoping that he will be blessed in the next life.He actually wanted to be liked by his family since he was a child, but unfortunately his parents had their own concerns, and they didn't have the slightest love for him, a child who was born to fulfill the burdens on his body. Gradually, Qiao Yu stopped showing affection to them. Begging for love.

But in the end is what you want.

Qiao Yu drank a large cup of tea, peeled half a plate of oranges to play with, and just when she felt like going to the toilet, she heard an old female voice behind her.

There was sobbing in her voice, "...my Xiaoyu."

Qiao Yu stood up, her body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head back.
