The Rich And Honorable Chang An

Chapter 48

Since Min Yu left Xu Chang'an in anger that day, she really hasn't had much contact with Qin Xin, but she has become a frequent visitor to Tongxin Garden, going there almost every day.

"Sister Nanxi, do you know where the prince and concubine are going today?" Min Yu would come to this Tongxin Garden every day, and she did meet Xiao Qingyan at one time. She met Xiao Qingyan here yesterday, but she never heard of Xiao Qingyan. I mentioned that today I will enter the palace with Xu Changan.She remembered that Xiao Qingyan also left just after she left yesterday, so she must have not told Nan Xi about their entering the palace today.

Isn't it very flattering?It turns out that it is still incomparable with other people's princesses.Min Yu didn't know what kind of mentality it was. She hoped that the favored Nan Xi could help her deal with Xu Chang'an, but seeing that Nan Xi was completely unqualified to attend such matters, she couldn't help feeling happy and superior.

For occasions like royal palace banquets, she is qualified to go as a side concubine of the palace. Right now, the prince doesn't like her, but in the future, she can't be sure. I can only be a shameless concubine and stay in this broken courtyard for the rest of my life.

Min Yu hardly concealed what was in her heart, and Nan Xi naturally saw it, but she didn't care, she wanted something different, and they were just making fun of each other.

"My lord told me yesterday that today is the fourth highness's birthday, and he and the princess are going to the palace to celebrate the fourth highness." Nan Xi's health has improved a lot, and she no longer sticks to her small courtyard. Min Yu came over today, She offered them to go out for a walk together.

The so-called going out for a walk can only go around in the palace. The people in the backyard of the palace, except for the prince and concubine, if anyone wants to leave the palace, they have to report to the concubine or the housekeeper.

The weather has turned completely cold, Min Yu has always been in good health, and she is used to the winter of the Great Xiao Dynasty, so she doesn't feel too cold.Looking at Nan Xi, who was already wearing winter clothes, and what she had heard these days, Min Yu thought that if a woman can no longer have children, what if she is favored now?When the years passed and her appearance was gone, it was time for her to suffer.

"Sister Nanxi, let's go to the garden in the mansion. Although there are not many flowers to see in winter, the scenery there is better than our dilapidated courtyard."

Meeting Qin Xin on the way, Min Yu really didn't expect that she hadn't looked for Qin Xin for several days, and Min Yu also knew about Qin Xin taking her nanny's family to the palace, and she naturally hoped that she could get away from it. The family brought some people over. There were too few girls serving in her yard, and many things were inconvenient.Take this winter clothes as an example, all her clothes were made by the embroiderer in the mansion, not to mention the rough ones, they didn't suit her at all.

"Sister Qinxin is here too. We are going to visit the Wangfu Garden, do you want to be together?" Ordinarily, with Nan Xi's current status, they cannot be called sisters, but they dare not pose in front of Nan Xi. Regardless of her status, Nan Xi didn't want to be small in front of them, so she went along with the flow and sat on an equal footing with them.

Qin Xin was bored to stay in the yard by herself, so she thought about going out for a walk, never meeting these two people.She had no reason to refuse, so she naturally went with the two of them.The three of them couldn't be said to be familiar with each other, and there was no one else they could talk about when they walked together except Xiao Qingyan.

"It's cold today, why doesn't my sister add more clothes?" Qin Xin Nanxi had already changed into a padded coat, Min Yu was still wearing a thin autumn coat, Qin Xin felt cold for her.

"It's only October now, and it's not how cold it can be in the twelfth lunar month? Besides, it doesn't matter to me whether I'm sick or not, and I don't care about it anyway. It's not like sister Nanxi. The prince is very distressed when he is sick. If only she and Nan Xi were around, Min Yu wouldn't say these things even if she was killed, but now that Qin Xin is here, she wanted to make her angry, because she said that she was also Qin Xin.

What can she do with the princess?Could it be that the princess can still persuade the prince to take pity on her?That concubine who is a man can't even be liked by the prince, she can help others!

Knowing what Min Yu was thinking, Qin Xin didn't care about her, it was just a personal choice, she just wanted to live in this mansion safely and not be bullied by others.

Nan Xi didn't refute Min Yu's words, but just smiled embarrassingly.Min Yu said that just to get angry, but Nan Xi's reaction made her even more angry. She was just talking, but Nan Xi's performance reminded her that what he just said was not just his talking , but it is!

"Well, I'm tired after walking for a while. Let's go to the pavilion over there." The pavilion Min Yu pointed to is in front of the pavilion, which is connected to a wooden corridor. The arch bridge, there is actually a big pond under the bridge, but there is not much scenery in this season, but it is full of depression.

As a concubine, Qin Xin has been careful since she was a child. Naturally, she has seen many housewives who are jealous and plot harmful tricks.When Min Yu said that she was going to sit in the gazebo, Qin Xin couldn't help but looked down.At this time of year, there are no servants here yet, if anyone falls into it, when they are rescued, even if they can save their lives, they will freeze to death.

"Look, is there any fish down there? I seem to see a red koi!" Min Yu sat on the edge of the gazebo, looked curiously at the pond below, and stretched out more than half of his body. .

Qin Xin probably knew what Min Yu was up to, but she couldn't figure out why Min Yu would do this?The prince doesn't like them, don't say that they were "accidentally" touched by others in the pond, even if they fell and drowned, the prince will not feel distressed, but will feel happy!

"Sister, be careful, if you fall, it will be bad! Sister Nanxi, you too, you are not in good health, if you fall and freeze your body, the prince will feel distressed." Nan Xi was not allowed to go to Min Yu. Beside her, Qin Xin became enthusiastic now, and ran up to hold Nan Xi's arm, preventing her from going to Min Yu's place.

Each of them was followed by a girl, with so many people here, Min Yu didn't dare to push them down directly, as long as she didn't stand next to her, she would have no chance!

"Huh! Qin Xin, you are really good!" Clenching his hands tightly, Min Yu slowly walked towards Qin Xin, but he couldn't say anything in front of Nan Xi. He could only swallow the anger in his heart and talk about his body. I suddenly felt uncomfortable and had to go back first.

"I'm so mad!" Damn Qin Xin!Min Yu restrained her temper and complimented Nan Xi for a long time, just to have some accident with her!

Min Yu didn't dare to let Nan Xi into the pool by himself, but what if the two of them fell together?If they fell together, the prince would have no excuse to punish her, right?That Nanxi looked soft and weak, and it would take days to recuperate even if she fell!If she fell into the icy pool water, her body would be frozen to death, and even if she was favored by that time, she would be nothing!

"Why does she always fight against me!" Min Yu couldn't swallow the resentment in his heart when he thought that today's plan was ruined by Qin Xin!She thought that it was time for her to go to her grandmother's house to meet her grandmother.

When Xu Changan and Xiao Qingyan went back to the mansion together, Xiao Qingyan almost fell asleep. He thought for a while that he didn't bring him back to the main courtyard, but sent him to the study, and by the way sent someone to Nanxi's place, It is said that the prince has already fallen asleep after drinking too much, and he will not go to her place to see her today.

"Girl, this servant has already inquired clearly. The concubine has already returned to his yard. The prince rested in the study alone. Shall we go to see the prince and send him some hangover soup?"

"There's no need to sober up the soup. The princess must have prepared it for the prince. Let's go and have a look." In the past, Xiao Qingyan would come over almost every day, but now that he was drunk, Nan Xi thought she had to go and have a look. OK.

Xiao Qingyan's study is said to be a study, but in fact it is more like a small suite, with everything in the living room and room.

After arriving at Xiao Qingyan's place, Nan Xi failed to go in, and was stopped by two servants at the door.

"Miss Nan, the prince has already rested, you should come back tomorrow." Nan Xi never thought that a servant would dare to block her way. These days, these people still don't understand their status in the palace?

Nan Xi just frowned slightly, and before she said anything, Bai Ling beside her began to teach the doorman a lesson.

"How courageous, even dare to block our girl's way? Are you not afraid that the prince will wake up tomorrow and punish you?"

"Miss Nan, you and your girl should not embarrass you. The prince has indeed fallen asleep, and the princess has explained that no one is allowed to disturb the prince's rest. You should go back." Has the servant heard of Nan? Xi, but the prince has really fallen asleep since then, if Nan Xi goes in to worry about others, if the prince is angry, it is impossible for the prince to get angry at the person he likes, then the unlucky person is himself, and the princess is indeed There is an explanation, he dare not not listen to the master's words.

Seeing that the boy was really disrespectful to give way, Nan Xi knew that it was useless to embarrass a servant, and besides, Xiao Qingyan had indeed fallen asleep, so she didn't really have to see her.

"Bailing, let's go back." The princess explained... Nan Xi originally thought that a male princess who was not liked by the prince should not be concerned at all, but now it seems that she is wrong?

"Girl, don't be sad, the prince will come to our yard tomorrow, and you will tell the prince about today's events, and there will be good fruit for that blind guy!"

"Let's go, there are so many words."

"Yes, the servant will stop talking."

After Xu Changan went back, he asked someone to prepare some food for him, and then he thought about today's events while eating, and the result was that the more he thought about it, the more confused he became, and the more he thought about it, the less he knew what the emperor was thinking.

Judging from the emperor's performance today, Xu Chang'an never doubted the emperor's feelings for Xiao Qingyan and Xiao Qingyu. Since he has such deep feelings for his two sons, why would he do such a thing to Xiao Qingyan?

As an emperor, doesn't he know that as the emperor's son, the position of crown prince is not only power but also a life-saving talisman to them.

"Dongxue, today I want to rest early, let the girls prepare bath water." Just now I was frightened, although it was only a false alarm, but Xu Changan still felt quite tired, and planned to rest early, tomorrow is uncertain What else is waiting for him.

"Yes, princess."

He said he should go to bed earlier, but after falling asleep on the bed, Xu Changan tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.He can't help but think about the day's affairs, and he can't help analyzing what the emperor wants to do in his heart, but after much deliberation, he still can't figure out why, and it also makes him feel more inexplicable anxiety and depression.

"Who...Xiao Qingyan?" There was another familiar soft sound, and then the smell of alcohol intruding into his nose made Xu Changan confirm in just a moment, who was the extra person on his bed.

"This time I'm smart, I know it's my king."

Xiao Qingyan's body still smelled strongly of alcohol, Xu Chang'an even suspected that he didn't even change the clothes he had entered the palace today, otherwise how could there be such a strong smell of alcohol on his body.

Not daring to ask Xiao Qingyan if he changed clothes and took a bath, Xu Changan had no choice but to ask why he came here again.

"My lord, you..." Xu Changan wanted to ask him where he came from, but the people around him didn't seem to be ready to answer his question, they just kept stuffing themselves under the quilt.

After finally stuffing himself in, Xu Changan thought he would be honest now, but the person who finally stuffed himself in the quilt was even more dishonest now, even worse than last time!This time he not only moved his hands but also his feet.

"..." Wrapped around himself with hands and feet, Xu Changan didn't know what to say anymore, he even thought, this is Xiao Qingyan's previous room, would he be sleepwalking, and then ran directly to the room he was most familiar with place?

"Have you finished my underwear yet?"

"..." Just thinking about Xiao Qingyan's abnormal behavior again, Xu Changan's mind was in a state of confusion, when Xiao Qingyan's words rang in his ear, he was stunned, and his whole body suddenly became motionless...

Making underwear for Xiao Qingyan... It seems that there is such a thing, but... he can't, and he has completely forgotten about it.

"That... Your Highness, I really don't know how to make clothes. Can I ask the embroiderer in the mansion to make them for you tomorrow? Make two more sets!" Do as much as you want!

"Your own underclothes are all made by your girl, why should I ask someone else to do it? You are my princess, so you should do it!"

"My lord, you're drunk." Today, the father and son didn't speak a word, and they all focused on drinking. Now it's all right, let's trouble yourself by getting drunk like this!

I don't know if Xiao Qingyan will remember what happened after drinking, Xu Changan even wanted to cover him directly under the quilt, not let him talk, just let him sleep, so that he is entangled with him like an octopus, Can I still sleep tonight?

"Xu Changan..."

"Huh?" He called his name again?I don't know what Xiao Qingyan is doing again, his head keeps hunched over his neck, and the heavy breath from his mouth hits his ear, it's hot and itchy, it's so uncomfortable!

"You... Did you have any close girls or... or servants by your side before?"

I don't understand why Xiao Qingyan would ask such a question. Xu Changan didn't evade it, but the post was too close to him, and he was really uncomfortable. While pushing the person away slightly, he slowly replied: "In the past, spring rain and winter Xue followed my mother, and there was a boy who took care of the daily life by my side, but after I was sent out of the Xu family by my father, that boy didn't follow me anymore, only the nanny and Chunyu Dongxue followed me to Zhuangzi." Only Mammy and those two girls are willing to suffer with themselves.

Although the Xu family has come to such an end now, Xu Changan still feels a little sad when thinking about the past. Those three years of hopeless days seem to have been engraved in his mind. Forget about those days of despair.

"No! I...I'm asking you, asking you...have you, have you...been like this! With them!"

"Ah?... Ha!" Thinking of what Xiao Qingyan might say, Xu Changan didn't know why he just laughed outright. He really didn't expect that when Xiao Qingyan said such a thing, he would still feel uncomfortable. Excuse me?

Didn't they, royal children like them, have a palace man with knowledge of personnel by their side as soon as they turn fourteen?

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Changan's laugh made Xiao Qingyan a little annoyed. Although what he said was fierce, Xu Changan didn't hear any anger when he heard these words, but he was only curious in his heart.

It's really strange that Xiao Qingyan would care about this kind of thing.

"Tell me! Is there any!"

"No. When I was 16 years old, my mother was already arranging a marriage for me, but then something happened to my mother, and then..."

"Oh. That's good!" Xu Changan was interrupted by Xiao Qingyan before he finished speaking, only heard the first two words, and Xiao Qingyan didn't want to hear the rest.

It's fine if you don't!

After that, how can I still have those thoughts, and who can think highly of me?Xu Changan was silent in his heart, after finishing what he just said, he kept looking at Xiao Qingyan who was beside him but couldn't see clearly.

I don't know why he asked this, did he mind if he had touched a woman before?But... what does he mind?

Xu Chang'an is not someone who just knows how to escape, nor is he really so dull that he can't perceive a person's feelings at all.He probably knew that Xiao Qingyan didn't hate him, and even treated him kindly, but that was all.He knew he should be satisfied, but he still felt lost in his heart.

Whether a person's life is long or not, it is just a few decades, but it is not short, decades... thousands of days and nights, if there is no one to accompany these long days and nights , it will be very lonely.

Suddenly caught in a dilemma, Xu Changan didn't know what to do.According to the previous idea, just come to the golden cicada to escape its shell and let them all be free, or continue to be greedy for the short-term tenderness given by this person, continue to treat him as a shelter, and then live for three to five years...

In three to five years, even if they don't become enemies, they will be like strangers.
