Run away if you are lonely

This was originally a trivial matter, and it was all right. Emperor Yuan readily agreed, and Wen Yi was overjoyed, consciously letting go of one thing on his mind.He thought to himself, after returning to Wen's mansion, from then on bridges return to bridges, roads return to roads, thinking that the prince's inexplicable admiration will not take root and grow in a crooked way.After some time, it would be a wonderful thing for the two to meet each other as a monarch and a minister.

When I think about it this way, I feel relaxed and happy, and everything I see is pleasing to the eye.

Wen Yi thought about the leaflet about Liangzhou that he was holding just now, and asked the emperor: "The minister just saw that there is a leaflet about Master Cui on the case, but he has clearly investigated the Liangzhou case?"

Emperor Yuan hummed, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and then some palace servants came up to take them away, and closed the door for the two of them obediently.

"According to Cui Jue's investigation, this matter may involve not only people in Pingdu, but also officials in Liangzhou. He counted the property sent to each other. He counted it once when he set off, and counted it again when he arrived in Liangzhou. All the counts were based on the It’s listed in the brochure. If it’s different from the brochure, the people in Liangzhou should have discovered it immediately.”

Wen Yi pondered and said, "Your Majesty suspects that some people in Liangzhou knew about it and did not report it."

At the same time, not only the people from the Yuanxiao Mansion received the officials from Pingdu, but also the local officials from Liangzhou.For the time being, the local officials can't escape their ties, and the people in the prince's mansion may not all be clean.Fish and shrimp are mixed, since we have to do it, let's do it cleanly.Emperor Yuan would not let go of people in Pingdu, and naturally, he would not let go of possible targets in Liangzhou either.

He pointed at the notebook and said, "Cui Jue's notebook was delivered three days ago, but I haven't done anything with it, do you know why?"

"I don't know."

Emperor Yuan said: "I intend to leave this matter to the prince and let him deal with it."

Let Yuan Xiao host and Cui Jue assist?Wen Yi was a little surprised. It is not uncommon for the prince to handle cases in person, and there are quite a few of them.Don't mention the far ones, just talk about the near ones.Two years ago in Qingzhou, there was a case of extermination of the Li family, which involved the corruption of officials in Qingzhou. Emperor Yuan attached great importance to it and ordered Yuan Qi'an to go to Qingzhou to supervise the handling.But why is Yuan Xiao and Yuan Qi'an the same? Yuan Qi'an is thoughtful and knowledgeable. He handles these things with ease.Where is Yuan Xiao?By brute force?

Wen Yi said: "Your Majesty, the prince is young and has not experienced much in the world. Is it inappropriate for him to do this?"

Emperor Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Why, didn't you praise him too much before? Now you think he is young?"

Wen Yi was at a loss for words.

He mainly thought that Yuan Xiao had always regarded Liangzhou as his hometown, and had placed a lot of affection on him. If the local officials and people in the government of Liangzhou really had a hand in it, and he found out, they would be extremely disappointed.Just let it be disappointment, and you have to deal with it yourself. All of these are not stingy to sprinkle salt on your own wounds.

Emperor Yuan was unpredictable and said: "If the prince meets someone close to him, he will have no way to do it. What courage and qualification will he have to sit in this seat in the future." "Even if it's someone who is close to him, I want him to raise the knife, and he can do it. What about the feelings of children."

Wen Yi was silent.

People who walk this road have always stepped on blood and bones. Although Emperor Yuan usually looked at him as a peaceful and approachable person, he could not be deceived by appearances.He is the truly ruthless person, and he has come here step by step.Sons and heirs turned against each other, brothers killed each other, didn't the emperor see such things rarely?

This is not only what the emperor has seen, but also what Yuan Xiao will meet.

Because of this, Wen Yi took advantage of the situation in Emperor Yuan's situation, just to let Yuan Xiao know in advance that if this road in the palace is to go down, there will be blood, and it is bound to be hard-hearted.

But who would have brought such a—forget it, let’s not mention it.

Wen Yi didn't want to think too much, just said: "Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Then she changed the subject, "But the crown prince is too immature in handling the case, so it's better to choose someone to assist him."

Before he finished speaking, Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "I have been prepared for a long time. Apart from Cui Jue, I also plan to let Xiao help him. Xiao Tingzhi is a veteran, with a respected status, and I have instructed him. When he goes down to handle the case, I think the rest People don't dare to make things difficult. What's more, the old prime minister is loyal to my nephew who has a soft personality, and now he is asked to help the prince, he must be very happy."

After Yuan Emperor finished speaking, he glanced at Wen Yi: "Why, what else does Wen Guogong have to say?"

After all the words have been said, what else can he say.Wen Yi could only say: "I have nothing to say."

Emperor Yuan smiled, and gathered his clothes: "It's getting warmer today. Before the Duke returns to the mansion, why don't you let me relax with you. Anyway, once you go back, even the Emperor will not be able to ask you to enter the palace."

Wen Yi glanced at Emperor Yuan and said deliberately: "If you don't enter the palace, your majesty will still know who you are doing with. What is the difference between entering the palace or not?

Speaking of this, Wen Yi has been a little curious.

"Your Majesty is so attentive to the crown prince, so I am not afraid that the rest of His Majesty will be jealous."

Emperor Yuan laughed loudly: "The Tian family still talks about the relationship between father and son? Those who are capable of the throne live in it. If they only rely on their preferences, how can they find a good leader for the great officials. Do you think I treat the prince differently?" It's just on the same title. , just a comparison.

One stop outside, the warm flowers are about to bloom in spring, the clothes of the palace people who are going back and forth are obviously thinner, and the wind blowing on the face is not as cold as before. "I've done a great job, no matter what time it is, it's always pleasing to the eye." Emperor Yuan stretched his waist, and said quite complacently, "I hope the crown prince will not disappoint me."

It's just that no matter how beautiful the spring is, Wen Yi has no interest in shopping.

Emperor Yuan: "The imperial decree has not yet been issued."

Wen Yi: "...Your Majesty, please first."

Probably because the weather is really good today, the two of them are not the only ones walking in the palace.and others.

The Empress Dowager, Empress Xianfei and a group of female relatives were admiring the flowers, so they met each other after turning the corner.Emperor Yuan didn't even have time to avoid it.As soon as his eyes collided, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Queen Dowager." He kept calling it that way, and it didn't feel awkward.After all, the queen mother is his sister-in-law, so he can't call her mother.

The empress, concubine Xian and the rest all saluted and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

The queen mother nodded. She didn't have much affection for this younger brother. In her heart, she probably hoped that the emperor would die soon so that her good grandson could succeed her. As the prince of the dynasty, let the emperor live before consolidating his power.At least it can block some wind and rain for Yuan Xiao.Thinking of this, her gaze at Wen Yi became softer.Sure enough, we still want to win over Wen Guogong.

Wen Yi looked at the sky and the earth, treating herself as blind, and turned a blind eye to the Queen Mother's ardent eyes.

The queen mother smiled and said: "The emperor has a leisurely walk today." She looked at Wen Yi and asked with concern, "How is Mr. Wen's injury?"

After being named, Wen Yi could no longer pretend that she didn't exist, and could only take a step forward: "Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, it's much better."

Unexpectedly, the queen mother said in the next sentence: "Well, Xiao'er is also caring. The Ai family heard from the imperial doctor that he cares about you very much, and he takes care of everything in daily life." She laughed, "Ai's family thinks he is still an old man. Child, I didn't expect to be very stable in doing things."

The queen smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is fine."

The queen mother said: "Yes. It seems that he has learned a lot in Liangzhou. Boy, it is good to go out and practice. After all, he will inherit the great power in the future."

She didn't give the emperor face like this, and pointed at the prince as the crown prince, the smile on the queen's face froze, and she stopped talking.Concubine Xian is a sensible person, no matter how unhappy she is in her heart, she looks like she has nothing to do.He just smiled and said: "Yes. The concubine still wants to talk to His Majesty, and send Ming'er An'er out to fight for General He and train his body. Every one of them is weak, how can he be an uncle, how can he replace the prince in the future Your Highness, share your worries and work."

They were talking there, and here Emperor Yuan asked Wen Yi softly: "Do you understand the meaning behind the words?"

Wen Yi also said softly, "Understood."

They think you are dead.

"..." Emperor Yuan gave Wen Yi a blank look.

Wen Yi tactfully swallowed the second half of the sentence and said again: "They are smart people." Knowing that in front of the Empress Dowager, curves to save the country show loyalty.It's just not smart enough, after all, the emperor is still standing here.

But even if you know that these are flattering words, the Queen Mother can't stop her from being comfortable.She laughed and patted Concubine Xian's hand: "Your two sons are so weak, Aijia sees that they are romantic and unrestrained, and they are very popular in Ping. A few days ago, Mrs. Liu also said that she had a niece who was very beautiful. You are lovely and gratifying, when will you bring me into the palace to meet you?" Then he complained slightly to Emperor Yuan, "No matter how busy your Majesty is with state affairs, the children's lifelong affairs must always be considered."

Emperor Yuan was wandering in his mind when he was suddenly called on. Shensi had just flown back from the sky, and he was confused.After pondering for a while: "What the Empress Dowager said is that I have always left these matters to the Empress."

The Queen quickly smiled and said, "That's right."

But in previous years, she didn't manage well.Because of her son's poor health, does she want her to watch other people marry wives and have children, leaving Yuan Qikang alone in this palace?She is not reconciled.As a mother, you should always leave the best for your son.Coincidentally, Concubine Xian said that she was unwell and could not move, and the marriage of her two sons was temporarily put on hold.The queen pushed the boat along.

The Empress Dowager said: "Forget it in previous years, this year the Empress will make good preparations for this matter."

The queen complied.

Older people always like to worry about the marriages of the younger generation. After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was still not satisfied. Seeing such a jade-like Duke here, she wanted to find a close marriage for him, wouldn't it? Get closer to the Yuan family.Immediately, he asked: "Master Wen is so talented and beautiful, do you have someone you like? If you have one, tell the Ai family that the Ai family will ask the emperor to marry you."

Wen Yi said: "Thank you Queen Mother, I am old and don't think about these anymore."

old age...

Not to mention the queen mother, even the emperor looked at Wen Yi.He had investigated Wen Yi before, and he only knew that there were quite a few people named Wen Yi, but none of them were from the court.Then give up.I vaguely remember that I was only in my teens when I first met Wen Yi, and now I am only in her early thirties.Placed in Pingdu, it is also young and energetic, how can it be called old.Besides, he still looks very young.

But Wen Yi said calmly: "I'm just joking."

Emperor Yuan: "...speak well."

Wen Yi sighed, and then made a long series: "When I was young, I had a sweetheart, but it was a pity that there was no relationship. Hey, now, I don't think about it." He said, Even wiped away tears.It looks very sad.

The female relatives have a problem, they are soft-hearted.The Empress Dowager felt a little regretful about her meddling at the moment, and said quickly: "It's the Ai family's abruptness. Since it's an old friend's past, I won't bring it up again. We still have to move on."

Wen Yi whispered with red eyes: "What the Queen Mother said is true."

He was good-looking, and he acted pitifully enough to break one's heart.

Many people present, those people and things that have never been hurt, they empathized with themselves after being surrounded by Wen Yi, and some people even sobbed for a while.It's the Queen Mother herself, who didn't have deep affection when she was young.

Emperor Yuan said at the right time: "Empress Dowager, Master Wen has to go back to the mansion..."

The Empress Dowager made up her mind and said no more, just said: "Lord Wen, don't be sad, you will be fine in the future. Your health is the most important thing." She hesitated to speak, and finally left with a group of female relatives.

The wind blew and the flowers fell. Wen Guogong put down his hand to wipe his eyes, his face expressionless.

Emperor Yuan who had witnessed everything: "..."

I cast myself in admiration.

Emperor Yuan admired it, but if he knew that when Mr. Wen said those words, he was thinking of the little prince unexpectedly--I am afraid that he was about to lift a stick in his hand.Duke Wen didn't think about Yuan Xiao specifically, but when the queen mother asked, the image of the prince running towards him by the lakeside yesterday suddenly popped into his mind.

His eyes were shining brightly, and his forehead was dripping with sweat, as if he had come back from playing somewhere.

Thinking of this, Wen Yi's expression warmed unconsciously, and she felt liking in her heart. At this moment, she really felt that the spring was beautiful.

The prince was sitting in Lanxin Lake, in a daze.

After living for 17 years, Yuan Xiao was rarely in a daze, because he never had troubles.The mountain was in front of him, so he turned over it, and the stone was in the way, so he chopped down the stone.The kid who grew up in a free range is very wild, and feels that nothing in this world can stop him.There is nothing that he wants but can't get.

For example, a thermometer.

Yuan Xiao has always firmly believed that Wen Guogong fell in love with him, treated him well, considered him, and even protected him with his life.And Wen Yi avoided all kinds of things, but because she was thin-skinned and embarrassed.But what Chunlan said in the morning seemed to wake him up.Even though he feels that he is considerate and generous, he is still very responsible.But how did he know—what did Wen Yi think?

Perhaps Wen Yi was troubled by the difference between the monarch and his subjects.Perhaps he still has many uncertainties about the future.Or maybe he didn't even get his own promise.That's right, I didn't even tell Wen Yi a word of affirmation, how can I blame the other party for not responding?After thinking for a long time, the prince deeply realized his own shortcomings.

Chunlan said it well——

Mutual confession is really necessary!

As soon as Yuan Xiao tapped his palm, he jumped up from the lake and turned to find Wen Yi.He has to tell Wen Yi about it loudly, and stop playing the game of guessing whether I can get your heart with him.But Wen Yi couldn't find it, but bumped into his sixth uncle.This sixth uncle was not alone, he was talking and laughing with the second prince, and there were some men and women Yuan Xiao didn't know.Yuan Xiao had never had any interest in interacting with these relatives, so he stopped immediately, intending to wait for these people to pass before he went out.

But God didn't agree with him, his clothes were so obvious by the bare lake, Yuan Qi'an could easily see him.

"Is that His Royal Highness?"

"I heard that it was carved out of the same mold as Empress Yan."

"I think he looks a bit like you, the sixth prince. He is indeed a nephew."

Yuan Qi'an listened to the teasing of the princes around him, smiled lightly, but didn't say much.He only said: "Second brother, you wait for me here for a while. I'll come over soon."

Yuan Qiming said: "Why, are you going to mess with him again?"

"It's only natural for an uncle to care about his nephew." What's the name?

Yuan Xiao stood by the lake, saw what his sixth uncle said, and then walked towards him.Yuan Xiao suddenly started to have a headache, he didn't like to deal with people, and he didn't know if it was too late to walk with lightness kung fu.When he thought of it, he did it. Before Yuan Qi'an came over, he jumped into the air with a kite, stepped on a tree pole with his toes, and borrowed some strength to leave——

There was an exclamation from a distance, Yuan Qi'an had quick eyesight and quick hands, and a walnut he was playing with hit Yuan Xiao's leg.

Yuan Xiao's leg was suddenly hit, and the pain radiated immediately.With a muffled groan, he fell down without stepping on the tree trunk, and was caught by Yuan Qi'an who rushed over, so he didn't fall.Yuan Xiao narrowed his eyes, and as soon as he landed, he stomped on Yuan Qi'an's foot unscrupulously, and said innocently: "Uncle Six, I'm sorry." It's his grandma who asked you to plot against me.

Yuan Qi'an took a bite suddenly, swallowed it with a cry of pain, without changing his face, smiled and said: "It's not a problem."

As they let go of their hands, both of them scolded each other in their hearts.

— But you can’t scold your ancestors for eighteen generations.

Because they are of the same clan.

The author has something to say:

Emperor Yuan: Hey, have you heard that Wen Yi said that his sweetheart is unlucky and short-lived...

Yuan Xiao: No, I am quite healthy.

Emperor Yuan: Didn't mention you...... Can you say it again?
