The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 4

The spiritual throne of the former empress has not yet been enshrined in the Xiao's Ancestral Temple, but in the Changsheng Hall which is closest to the Emperor's Taiji Hall.Outside the palace, the two met Xiao Qingyu, Xiao Qingyan's younger brother.

"Brother, I knew you would come here today, and you brought your sister-in-law with you." Xiao Qingyu's appearance was quite similar to Xiao Qingyan's, but he was less stable and more lively.

Although Xiao Qingyan didn't ask himself directly, Xu Changan couldn't ignore him, and nodded to Xiao Qingyan and replied, "Hello, Fourth Highness."

He wanted to tease his male sister-in-law, but in the end he didn't get the reaction he wanted. Xiao Qingyu's face was embarrassing, and then he suddenly put on a straight face and walked towards Xu Changan, his face almost bumping into Xu Changan's.No matter how calm and composed Xu Changan was, he was frightened by Xiao Qingyu's sudden movement and retreated a few times. In a panic, his feet tripped and he was about to fall backwards. He only touched a corner of Xu Changan's clothes, and watched him fall heavily to the ground, and let out a muffled groan.

"It's just nonsense! What's the matter with you, just go to my house." Just looking at the people on the ground, Xiao Qingyan's face darkened again, and he sternly shouted at Xiao Qingyu, and then he didn't bother Xu Changan on the ground He walked quickly into the hall alone.

Xu Changan's elbows and... and his buttocks were severely thrown, Xiao Qingyan left, Xiao Qingyu stood aside and restored the smile just now.Taking a deep breath, Xu Changan got up slowly, and staggered towards Xiao Qingyan's figure. He knew that Xiao Qingyan was ruthless to him, and Xiao Qingyu despised him, but it didn't matter. Since his mother passed away, the people in this world have imposed on him He didn't care about the pain, as long as he couldn't let go of this life, there was nothing he couldn't bear.

Xiao Qingyu was the youngest among the emperor's princes, and in the words of ordinary people, he was also the least capable.Next year will be the year of the weak crown, but he has made no achievements. He only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and he often haunts the fireworks and willow alley. Avoid it.

Looking at the person who was clearly inconvenient but still trying to keep upright and hurriedly chased after Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Qingyu raised his eyebrows, then turned and left, and laughed even more.

When Xu Changan caught up with Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Qingyan had already knelt before the spirit of the former empress, so Xu Changan naturally wanted to kneel down with them.Just before he moved, he found that Xiao Qingyan was directly kneeling on the ground, and he put the futon aside.

Xu Changan pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, staggered half a body away from Xiao Qingyan, and knelt down on the ground just like Xiao Qingyan.Looking at the man in front of him who was straight, with a strong figure and could even be called a stalwart, Xu Changan only saw his loneliness.

He is the eldest son of the emperor or the eldest son, but now he has married a male wife, ruining his bright future, so it is normal to feel depressed.

The two of them knelt for an hour. When Xiao Qingyan got up, his body swayed a few times because of the slight numbness in his legs, but Xu Changan waited until Xiao Qingyan had turned around and left before slowly getting up.He didn't want to continue making a fool of himself in front of Xiao Qingyan, after watching Xiao Qingyan get up, he rubbed his legs first instead of rushing to follow.Although he had already made preparations, after all, it had been a long time, and his legs still felt a little uncomfortable. In addition, he fell to the back of his hip just now, and when he was striding after Xiao Qingyan, Xu Changan's forehead was sweating in a short while.

Xiao Qingyan was tall and had long legs, and his strides were huge, Xu Changan tried his best to chase him but he was getting farther and farther away from him, Xiao Qingyan simply waited for him at the gate of the palace, otherwise he really didn't know how to go back.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"It's useless." Although the imperial carriage was comfortable, it was also tall. Xu Changan put in a lot of effort when he got in the carriage. After getting in the carriage, he had already suppressed himself as much as possible, but he was still panting slightly.

Looking at the sweating, panting man, Xu Chang'an whose face was flushed with blush, Xiao Qingyan just threw the word useless to him and then opened his mouth.But in my heart, I kept thinking that this person was just like me. After kneeling on the flat ground for so long, I was pleading guilty to my mother and punishing myself. Fall in love with a man.

After returning, the two of them received the emperor's imperial edict as soon as they arrived at the palace.

"Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor's decree said... the eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Qingyan, was made the virtuous king, and Xu Changan, the youngest son of the Xu family, was the virtuous king's concubine. Hurry up and thank you, virtuous king and virtuous concubine." The father-in-law who announced the decree himself has served the emperor for decades But this time, he couldn't figure out what his master wanted.The master married the eldest prince a male wife and cut off his succession, but he also named him a virtuous king. You must know that the virtuous king's fiefdom is the land hundreds of miles away from the suburbs of Beijing, so the virtuous king of each dynasty must be The Son of Heaven in the future.

"My son accepts the decree to thank you." After receiving the decree, Xiao Qingyan was very excited, and then there was another reward on the decree, Xiao Qingyan didn't care anymore, what he cares most about now is the royal father's heart, didn't the royal father not Abandoning herself, but...Looking at Princess Xian beside her, Xiao Qingyan could only suppress the delusions in her heart, everything in front of her was probably her father's compensation.

There were dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry and all kinds of rare treasures bestowed by the emperor, Xiao Qingyan didn't even glance at them, and only left with a word for the princess to dispose of.

Xu Chang'an was by Xiao Qingyan's side, and Xiao Qingyan's emotional changes naturally occurred to him. Xu Chang'an had always been a smart person, and he had also guessed Xiao Qingyan's thoughts to seven or eight percent, so people who were sensible didn't bother Xiao Qingyan when he was lonely, but obediently did it. What you should do.

After everything was recorded and put into storage, the sky was completely dark, and when they returned to their own room, Nanny Yang had already prepared meals and waited for Xu Changan, but Xu Changan thought that Xiao Qingyan probably didn't eat, and he didn't know him You don't have to arrange your own meals, and you don't need to wait for him to eat together.

"Mommy, do we need to wait for Your Highness?" Xu Chang'an was not very clear about the rules of the back house, so he could only ask Nanny Yang for advice.

"Ordinarily, His Highness should have come over to have dinner with the young master in the first few days of the wedding, but..."

"I see, then wait."

On the wedding night, Xu Changan didn't expect Xiao Qingyan to go and come back, so he didn't wait for anyone. No matter what happens today, he has to wait first.

Sure enough, Xiao Qingyan still came after a while.

"Come here and give me some cloth."

"Yes, my lord." Xu Changan likes light food, and the dishes Yang Nanny prepared for him are naturally mainly vegetarian dishes. Xiao Qingyan is not used to food without oil and salt, so he ate very slowly but never put down his chopsticks .

Xu Changan was thrown hard today, not only his hands and elbows, but also his whole body felt a little uncomfortable. Although Bu Cai is a trivial matter, it still feels a little uncomfortable to keep stretching out his hands.Nanny Yang and the two maids stood aside, both feeling sorry for their young master but not daring to speak. It was right for the princess to serve the prince for dinner, and there was no room for them to speak in this room.

After finally Xiao Qingyan finished eating, Nanny Yang was going to serve her young master for dinner, but Xiao Qingyan wanted Xu Changan to serve him to take a bath.

The hot water was brought to the bathroom quickly, Xiao Qingyan opened her arms and stood there, Xu Changan stepped forward to undress someone.Xiao Qingyan was still wearing the prince's uniform that he wore when he entered the palace today. Although each piece of clothing was very thin, the style was cumbersome.When he went to untie the python pattern belt around Xiao Qingyan's waist, it was inevitable that he would get close to him. Knowing that Xiao Qingyan hated him, Xu Changan tried to keep himself away from him as much as possible. He frowned and looked at himself.

Xiao Qingyan actually doesn't hate Xu Changan, neither does his appearance or personality.After getting closer, Xiao Qingyan found that Xu Chang'an was not just as cold and handsome as his father described him, but his eyebrows and eyes were actually very beautiful and gentle. The reason why he felt cold was probably because of the alienated breath that exuded from him.

"Okay, you go out first, the king will call you if necessary."

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing Xu Changan come out, Mother Yang hurriedly asked him to eat, but Xu Changan didn't have much appetite, but he took a few mouthfuls, and when there was something in his stomach, Xu Changan felt better, so he ate some more food. Ask Nanny Yang to remove the food.

It took a lot of time just to count the things the emperor bestowed, and now it's getting late, Xiao Qingyan got out of the bath and was ready to go to bed.

"You can sleep outside, but no one is allowed to find out."

"Okay." Seeing that Xiao Qingyan was already lying on the bed, Xu Changan turned off the light for him, and then dared to gently rub each other's hands, and then carefully backed out.

"It's okay, it's okay." In the dark night, Xu Changan's voice was neither angry nor angry, as if he didn't care what Xiao Qingyan did to him.In the outer side room, Xu Changan closed his eyes soon after falling asleep on the bed, but he never felt sleepy.

Early the next morning, Xu Chang'an got up and went into the bedroom, but he didn't go to bed, he just sat on the edge of the bed, and waited until the weather was almost dark and the girls outside were waiting, before he asked someone to come in to serve him.

After Xu Changan entered the door, Xiao Qingyan noticed it. He refused to speak all the time because he just didn't want to talk to Xu Changan. He was ready for Xu Changan to go to bed with him, but he didn't expect that Xu Changan didn't go to bed. Just sat on the edge of the bed.

"Princess, today is homecoming day, how about you change into a brighter outer shirt?" I thanked you for entering the palace yesterday, and I don't need to wear a uniform that suits my status today, but the princess is too plain today. , the girl thought that since she was going back home and just happened to meet a big happy event in the palace, she should wear bright clothes to add joy.

As soon as the girl spoke, the two of them remembered that today is the day of returning home.Needless to say, Xiao Qingyan definitely didn't want to go to Xu's family, and Xu Changan didn't want to go back either, so neither of them said anything for a while.

The girl who spoke just now saw that the two masters were silent and their faces were still a little ugly, thinking that she had said something wrong, her hands trembled in fright, and it was not until Xiao Qingyan left that she dared to pant loudly and slap her chest with her hands.

I don't know if Xiao Qingyan took the girl's words to heart, anyway, he didn't express his opinion until he finally left.

"Young master, although the master has indeed gone too far, but if the prince does not accompany you back today, the people in the capital will not know how to laugh at you in the future. The prince is really too much." The words have been spoken, the prince has never let the young master see the servants of the palace, and it is fine to officially recognize the young master's status, why didn't he even accompany the young master when he returned home!

"Isn't it just right not to go back? At the beginning, the master wished that the young master would stay in Zhuangzi for the rest of his life. Now that the young master has become a virtuous princess, he is not something that a fourth-rank official can cling to. Let's not bother with him now! Young master, the prince has done a good job. Even if we don't go back, we are not the only ones who are shameless, people in the capital have eyes, they will definitely know that it was the master who bullied the young master first, and it is the prince who is avenging you."

"Aren't you sorry for me?" When she first found out that she was going to marry a man, she still had a sad face. It's only been a few days, how could it have changed.

"Master, now that you are married to the prince, you should look for a better place. At least now, no one can bully you, right?"

"You two, this is no longer our small village where no one has set foot, nor is it Xu's mansion where we can bully others. This is the palace of the king. In the future, we must understand what we should say and what should not be said, like the words just now. Don't talk about it in the future, even in private, you can't say you know." Xu Changan had his own thoughts about whether to return to Xu's house, and he already had an answer in his heart.

Of the four princes of the current emperor, only Xiao Qingyan has started to go to court at the age of twenty, but he doesn't need to go these days, and he himself has no intention of going.When Xiao Qingyan heard that his personal servant asked the princess to see him, Xiao Qingyan was very surprised, and even came here to ask for an audience, what could he do?

"I have seen the king."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"My lord, today is the day when I return home." Meeting Xiao Qingyan's scrutinizing gaze without dodging, Xu Changan showed no sign of compromise on his face.

"I came here specially for this? Well, I can tell you that I won't go." Xiao Qingyan seemed to have made up her mind.

And Xu Changan was also uncompromising, and continued: "My lord, etiquette cannot be discarded. Today, the emperor loves the people like a son, and the royal family is an example for all people in the world. I hope the lord thinks twice."

Still in the same posture as before, with pleading words in his mouth, the attitude in his tone did not seem to be begging for help.Looking at the person who was separated from him by the desk, Xiao Qingyan suddenly felt that this stubborn face seemed familiar, but after thinking about it, he had no impression at all, so he didn't think about it anymore, but directly ordered the servants , ready to go home, he and the princess are going back today.

All the people in the world, those who stare at him must be one of those people.
