Records of the King of Xin'an County

"It turned out to be Yan Balang." Li Hui looked at the handsome young man in front of him, and because of his similar age, he couldn't help but compare him with his good friend Wang Zixian.The Yan family is completely different from the declining Wang family. Although it is not a top aristocratic family, it has been a famous family among the Guanlong nobles for several generations.Not only does he occupy a high position in the temple, but he is also a well-known scholarly family.

Perhaps because of his family background, this Yan Balang exudes a gentle and elegant atmosphere from the inside out, and he is indeed extraordinary.However, compared with Wang Zixian, he lacks a bit of unrestrained bearing, and also lacks some accumulated insights from travel and knowledge, like a precious flower carefully cultivated, showing a bit of ignorance of world affairs.

This is definitely not the difference brought about by the difference of family status, but the distance between people's nature and talent.After all, there are quite a few high-ranking officials in the Yan family who wear purple clothes, while the Shangzhou Wang family is just an inconspicuous branch of the Langya Wang family, and it seems that they have never even been a fifth-rank official.Moreover, Yan Balang is a direct descendant, while Wang Zixian is a descendant.If the two had changed places, Wang Zixian would have been famous in Chang'an city long ago.

Li Hui slightly absent-mindedly thought of his elder brother and friends going south, and brought Yan Balang to Princess Pu's car.Yan Balang called his aunt respectfully, and sincerely mentioned his family's missing.Teach him to say the same words, on the contrary, it is much more credible than the old Fu's mother yesterday.

Sitting in the car, Yan Shi had mixed feelings in his heart for a moment, and the expression on his face changed from sad to happy.

Mrs. Zhou and Zhang Fu's mother comforted her in a low voice, and she could only sigh and said shyly, "Forget it, since A Niang has come in person, as a daughter, I definitely have no reason not to see her." She always She is a filial daughter, but after going through all these things, how much filial piety and closeness from the heart are left, even she herself cannot tell.

While speaking, the cars of Prince Pu's family stopped slowly.Yan Shi got out of the car in person, and took Zhou Shi and Princess Changning to visit Mrs. Yan Gao Shi.Li Hui also helped Li Tai get out of the car with difficulty, and sat on the eaves to see his mother-in-law.

Mrs. Gao is a not-so-wealthy lady, she looks like kind-hearted, but there is a bit of shrewdness in the depths of her eyes.It can also be seen from her schedule these days that she is a person who can even use her children to plan.It's hard for Li Hui to imagine how this noble lady raised such a gentle daughter as Yan.

This time, Mrs. Gao brought a lot of juniors, including three or four of Mr. Guanglang, and a few young girls wearing veiled hats, who got out of the car and came to see them.After meeting each other according to family and national ceremonies, she pointed out to Yan Shi that she recognized her nephew and niece, and then smiled and gave Li Hui a warm and delicate tuanlong mutton jade pendant, and took him to look at it carefully After a while, they repeatedly praised him for being very similar to Li Tai.

Li Tai was very happy when he heard this, and reciprocated by calling several gentlemen of the Yan family to ride beside his car and chat with him to relieve his boredom.Mr. Yan Jialang is quite proficient in calligraphy and painting, and when he commented on the recent works of everyone, he talked with eloquence and insight.Of course, what they admire most are the paintings of their grandfathers or great-uncles.

Mrs. Yan got into Mrs. Gao's car, and asked Mrs. Zhou and Princess Changning to get back into the car.The young ladies of the Yan family also helped the maids back to their respective ox carts. When they passed by Li Hui, bursts of fragrant wind blew by, accompanied by vague or crisp or soft laughter.The king of Xin'an didn't notice anything, he still steered his horse back to his little cousin's car.

Therefore, the motorcade of the Yan family naturally integrated into the guard of honor of Prince Pu's Mansion, and continued towards Qujiang Pond in the southeast direction.

"My son, you have really suffered all these years!" Mrs. Gao gently stroked Mrs. Yan's hand, and as she spoke, tears fell on the back of her hand, soaking it all up. "At the beginning, I also wanted to send a Sending you off, but your grandpa..." At this point, she broke down in tears: "Later, I heard that the baby you finally got died, and my mother's heart was broken... I have been hanging on for you all the time... where……"

When mentioning the child who died that year, Yan Shi couldn't help but her eyes turned red and her lips moved slightly.The sage and Queen Qin have always paid attention to the important matters of their children's marriage, and arranged marriages for them early.She was chosen as Li Tai's princess when she was 11 years old, and married into the royal family the following year.However, for many years since then, she has never been able to conceive a son and a half.It wasn't until nearly ten years later that she gave birth to her first child, and she wept with joy.Unexpectedly, soon after the incident of seizing the heirloom occurred, Queen Qin fell ill, and no one pleaded for her to let her stay in Chang'an for the time being.

It is indeed the proper meaning for the husband to sing and the wife to follow.However, she lost her only child because she was demoted from Chang'an with Li Tai.There was indeed resentment in my heart, not only hated my mother's ruthless family, but also hated those cold-eyed bystanders, and even more hated Li Tai's ambition.He clearly doesn't have the talent to ascend to the supreme position, so why bother to fight for it?Going to grab it? !

However, what is the use of being filled with resentment?The child died, never to be resurrected.Just when she almost plunged herself into the mire of grief and couldn't extricate herself, her wife in charge, Mrs. Zhang (Mother Zhang), brought her newborn son Li Hui.Li Huizhi's biological mother had a humble status, and she was displaced all the way, and her body was extremely weak after tossing, and she let go soon after giving birth to the child.And when she saw the child for the first time, he smiled at her, soothing her pain in an instant.From then on, the child rescued her from resentment and resentment.

Thinking of this, Yan Shi calmed down a bit, raised his eyes with tears in his eyes, and looked at Gao Shi: "Aniang, since it is a matter of the past, there is no need to mention it now." Maybe it was because of that child, maybe it was because of Li Hui Hui, her expression softened a lot, and her voice was as gentle as before.For a while, he couldn't see the cold and unfamiliar appearance before.

Mrs. Gao was slightly taken aback, wiped away the tears with a handkerchief, and smiled with tears in her eyes: "It really shouldn't be mentioned... It's hard for us mother and daughter to meet again, so we should talk about some happy events. Listening to your grandpa talking to you these days Brothers mentioned, the king seems to be ill? Seeing you today, you look pretty good."

"Nowadays there are rumors everywhere, he doesn't like to hear those rumors, so he simply takes care of himself at home." Yan Shi replied, instinctively filling in for Li Tai, "With Dalang and Sanlang around, it's fine if he doesn't show up. What's more , will be interrogated by the three divisions, supervised by the Prince and the King of Yue, and the case will be thoroughly investigated soon. Why should he bother about these unnecessary things?"

"My son, from what you said, the king's temper is much calmer. In this way, I can feel at ease as a mother." Gao Shi said, "Besides, look at your mother, King Sipu and King Xin'an treat you It is also very filial. Although they are all bastards, they can be your reliance in the future... It seems that there is no need to worry about you."

Yan Shi was keenly aware of the unfinished meaning in her words, and said indifferently: "Da Lang was raised by the A family, and San Lang was raised by me personally, so naturally he has excellent conduct."

Gao Shi smiled, stopped talking, and continued to talk about household chores while holding her in his arms.After being separated for more than ten years, it is enough to talk about the marriage and marriage in the family and the interesting stories of the younger generation for several hours.Yan Shi listened, and frowned slightly: It should not be her illusion, A Niang was bragging about the little lady at home and the niece born to her two younger sisters.

The mother and daughter in this room were talking about their parting, while Princess Changning in the other room lifted a corner of the window screen and quietly called Li Hui: "Brother, don't stay on the right side, come to the left side." Her car drove Keep to the left, Yan's convoy stay to the right, Li Hui is now riding in the middle, anyone can see it at a glance.

Li Hui was quite puzzled, but he didn't ask carefully, and immediately rode to the left.Princess Changning quickly opened the window screen on this side, pouted and said: "Those little ladies of the Yan family are so shameless, they are all crowded by the window of the bullock cart and vying to see Brother! If they hadn't come , it would be great if only the two of us could talk freely!"

Li Hui was startled, then smiled and said, "Why didn't I notice that people were vying to see me? Don't worry, your brother, although I think I look pretty good, but I'm not handsome enough to make the streets and alleys besieged to watch Let alone let the little ladies throw fruits to fill the car." He was just thinking about where Li Xin and Wang Zixian had gone, and he really didn't pay attention to the eyes around him.

However, although Chang Ning's words are a bit exaggerated, they are not completely untrue after thinking about it.However, the young ladies of the Yan family are all from a scholarly family, so it is absolutely impossible for them to act rashly.Could it be that the Yan family intended to marry their granddaughter to him?How can it be? !How could they be willing to give up another daughter born in the first line and go to Junzhou to suffer?Although their family is currently in Chang'an, they still seem to be quite favored, but they will go back to Junzhou after all.

"Brother is of course good-looking." Princess Changning replied without thinking, "Everyone in our family is good-looking—except..."

Li Hui reacted almost immediately, and said seriously: "If my grandfather hadn't been born so fat, he would definitely be as handsome as the second generation father or your grandfather."

The little guy made no secret of his doubts: "I asked my grandmother. Grandma said that the third father was born chubby since he was a child! Even she has never seen the third father who looks thinner."

"...To be honest, I've never seen it either."

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other and laughed softly as if they had a tacit understanding.

At this time, Li Tai's confidants and attendants suddenly came over to invite him.Li Hui immediately rode his horse to the front of the car driver, and saw several gentlemen of the Yan family riding around on horses with red faces, as if they were at a loss.It seemed that His Royal Highness Prince Pu lost his temper, and they were both ashamed and worried.

Li Hui was too unfamiliar with them, and had no intention of comforting them. He just nodded slightly, then jumped off his horse, and boarded His Royal Highness Pu's chariot neatly.Seeing this, the gentlemen of the Yan family had no choice but to disperse, returning to the middle of their own motorcade with a little uneasiness.

After Li Hui got into the car, he saw his grandpa was gnashing his teeth and patting the table next to him. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Who on earth has offended Grandpa? Just say it! No matter if it's a relative or not, my son will take care of Grandpa." Get angry!"

Li Tai turned his head abruptly, the flesh on both sides of his cheeks trembled like waves, and he shouted angrily: "It's not you!! You are hiding everything from me!! Do you know that I am your grandfather?! Now everyone I understand that the murderers who assassinated me and Li Song were those who were convicted back then! You didn’t mention a single word! You just believe in the interrogation of the three divisions! Do you believe in Li Heng and... and the prince?!"

The King of Xin'an opened his eyes slightly, and said innocently: "Grandpa, this is just a rumor. My grandfather and grandmother told me not to believe it. The elders have told me so, how dare I tell my grandfather?" Yan Yan What is the intention of the family?Actually told Grandpa about this matter? !Is it Yan Shangshu?Or are these young men making their own decisions? !

Li Tai gasped for breath, his eyes widened: "Rumors?! Just rumors?"

"It's really just a rumor." Li Hui replied firmly, and then added a sentence - "Grandfather and grandmother said it."

"..." His Highness Prince Pu pondered for a long time, glanced at the youngest son, and said lightly, "It's just a rumor, maybe there is something credible about it."

"..." What "maybe"?Must have believed it?Is that what you believe? !

King Xin'an sighed with difficulty in his heart: he knew that this would be the result.
