Song Emperor Jiangshan

Xiao Shan said: "I...offended the Prince of Pu'an that day, and I was afraid that he would blame me, so I didn't really dare to meet him..."

Yu Yunwen said in amazement: "How long has it been? How can he keep thinking about it? Besides, what heinous things can you do to make him think about it all the time?"

Xiao Shan was speechless, knowing that no matter how nervous he was, he was going to see him eventually, so he took a deep breath, stepped forward and said to the guard at the door: "Please go in and tell me that you are an old friend. Visit."

The guards guarding outside the door saw that although the two were dressed in ordinary clothes, they had extraordinary manners, and they did not dare to be negligent, so they led them into the living room, made tea for them, and then went to invite Zhao Yuan.

The building of the palace is very simple, although the living room is decorated, it doesn't look very gorgeous, there is a landscape painting in the hall, the tables and chairs are all old things, Xiao Shan is sitting on the chair, not in the mood to drink tea, just thinking, what will Zhao Yuan do? Don't just throw yourself out.

When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Yu Yunwen say: "My dear brother, if you ask Pu'an County King to raise military expenses, how much can you get?"

Xiao Shan frowned and said: "Where does he have money? When he was in Lin'an in the past, his salary was not enough, and the officials used money from their own private treasury to subsidize him. Don't mention this later, so as not to embarrass him."

Yu Yunwen laughed and said, "My dear brother, your vision is really... so ignorant!"

Just as Xiao Shan wanted to ask him why, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps at the door, the sound was so familiar that he got up involuntarily, and looked towards the door, Zhao Yuan's shadow suddenly came into his eyes.

Zhao Yuan was wearing white plain clothes, he looked slender, the sun was shining on his shoulders, covering his whole body with a halo, his footsteps stopped suddenly when he was at the door, and then his eyes fixed on Xiao Shan's body.

The two were like this, one standing inside the door and the other outside the door, looking at each other.As they got closer, Xiao Shan found that Zhao Yuan had lost a lot of weight. In less than a month, his once plump cheeks were now somewhat sunken, his skin was still white, but his chin was terrifyingly pointed, and his eyes appeared much bigger.Zhao Yuan's lips were tightly pursed, and the smile at the corner of his mouth froze there.

Xiao Shan didn't know what to say for a while, the opening remarks he thought of didn't seem to have any effect, but Zhao Yuan spoke first, with a flat tone: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Shan bowed and saluted: "Because I was passing by, I remembered that His Highness is nearby, so I came to have a look."

Xiao Shan lowered his head, his eyes could only see his shoes and the bluestone floor in front of him, but he couldn't see Zhao Yuan's expression, he could only hear his voice: "I'm a guest from afar, don't stand still, sit down!"

While Zhao Yuan was talking, he went into the hall and took the main seat, but he only talked with Yu Yunwen, and didn't speak the first half of a word with Xiao Shan.

While Yu Yunwen was speaking, he put gold on Xiao Shan's face, saying that he was well-trained, and that he was very knowledgeable, which made Xiao Shan feel ashamed.When talking about meeting Wan Yanliang, Zhao Yuan interrupted and asked a few words.

Yu Yunwen also asked about Zhao Yuan's recent situation, Zhao Yuan's tone was flat, he just said that there was nothing special, and replied at home, seeing his son, he had nothing to do, so he just teased him.

Xiao Shan noticed that when Zhao Yuan mentioned his son, a happy smile appeared on his face inadvertently.

Xiao Shan wanted to say a lot to Zhao Yuan, but he didn't know how to say it, and with Yu Yunwen at his side, Xiao Shan couldn't get in the words.

He could only sit on the sidelines in silence, and when he heard the two of them discussing their son, he got up and said, "I'll go for a walk."

Zhao Yuan didn't even look at Xiao Shan, but just said, "You don't need to be restrained."

Seeing Zhao Yuan's lukewarm attitude towards him, Xiao Shan felt frustrated.But then they dispersed, and he walked out of the hall, wandering around.

Although Zhao Yuan's father was Prince Xiu, he was also a clan far away from him, and there was no Prince Xiu's mansion specially built.

Zhao Yuan's residence was not much different from ordinary wealthy households, with the same blue bricks and white tiles, and some places even showed dilapidated colors, obviously it hadn't been renovated for a long time.

The backyard and the front yard of the palace are not separated, Xiao Shan walked around for a while, and then arrived at the backyard.In the backyard, there is a willow tree embraced by three people. The leaves are all yellow and fallen, and the bare branches are hanging down, swaying slightly in the wind.

Xiao Shan remembered that Zhao Yuan once said that there used to be a willow tree in his home, and he often played under the tree when he was a child.He stretched out his hand and unconsciously tugged at the drooping willow branches, but suddenly he heard a milky voice behind him: "Hey, don't mess with my tree!"

Xiao Shan turned around and saw a child standing behind me with his hands on his hips, staring at him with a look of air on his face, followed by a nurse.

That child looks somewhat similar to Zhao Yuan, both have beautiful almond eyes, one can tell it is Zhao Yuan's son at a glance.But the difference is that this child's face is full of flesh, which makes people want to pinch it.

Xiao Shan became interested, squatted down, and waved to the child.

The child immediately flaunted his might and rushed to Xiao Shan, asking arrogantly: "Who are you? What's your name? I've never seen you before. Are you a new servant?"

Xiao Shan couldn't help laughing, thinking: Zhao Yuan looks very mature, but his son is cute.

Xiao Shan asked back, "What's your name?"

The child puffed out his chubby cheeks, put his hands behind his back, and pretended to be an adult, he took two steps and said, "My surname is Zhao, and my name is Zhao Yu! What's your name?"

Xiao Shan remembered that Zhao Yu was not the last one to succeed Zhao Yuan as emperor in history, and he was not too clear about the final fate of Zhao Yuan's first child.But it is conceivable that he either died young or had other accidents.

Xiao Shan said: "My name is Xiao Shan."

Zhao Yu immediately exclaimed: "You are Xiao Shan! I know you, my father mentioned you!"

Xiao Shan never expected that Zhao Yuan would mention himself to his son, so he asked, "What did your father say about me?"

Zhao Yu tilted his head, blinked at Xiao Shan, and shook his head after a while: "You look average, not as good-looking as my father said."

Xiao Shan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, Zhao Yuyou said: "I heard that you are very good at martial arts, is it true?"

Xiao Shan smiled and said, "It's not true, your father lied to you!"

Zhao Yu immediately became unhappy, pouted: "Don't speak ill of my father!"

In the hall, Zhao Yuan chatted with Yu Yunwen for a while, and then said: "It's getting late, it's not easy to come from a long distance, stay for a meal before leaving!"

Yu Yunwen readily agreed, and Zhao Yuan ordered his servants to prepare the food and drink. He and Yu Yunwen went out of the living room and walked casually. Suddenly, he saw his son sitting on Xiao Shan, clapping his hands: "I won, I defeated you!" , I am number one in the world!"

Zhao Yuan's face darkened, and he reprimanded his son: "Yu'er, don't mess around!"

Xiao Shan and Zhao Yu were having fun, when they suddenly heard Zhao Yuan's voice behind them, they were startled, and hurriedly jumped up from the ground, but Zhao Yu pulled Xiao Shan's trousers and asked, "How did you jump up?" ?Taught me!"

Zhao Yuan's face turned a little black, and he scolded: "Yu'er, come here!"

Zhao Yu pouted, grabbed Xiao Shan's trousers with her little hand and stuck out her tongue towards Zhao Yuan: "No, I want to play with Uncle Xiao!"

Zhao Yuan walked over quickly, took his son's little hand, wanted to scold him, but couldn't bear to speak again, and just said very lovingly: "Look at your dirty body, dad will take you to wash it, it's clean I'll give you something delicious."

Zhao Yu hugged Zhao Yuan's neck and started acting coquettishly: "Daddy hug!"

Zhao Yuan looked at his son and smiled, reached out and rubbed his son's head, and picked him up. Zhao Yu's nanny hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness, this slave will take the little prince to clean up!"

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "No need, I'll come in person!"

After saying that, he carried Zhao Yu away, and Yu Yunwen walked to Xiao Shan's side, and whispered to Xiao Shan: "It seems that Prince Pu'an loves his son very much."

Xiao Shan looked at Zhao Yuan's back in a daze, and nodded after a while: "En, yes."

When he said these words, he couldn't help thinking of Zhao Yuan's fate in history, and felt a bit dull in his heart.

Zhao Yuan personally entertained the dinner, and also said a few words to Xiao Shan during the dinner, but his tone was always indifferent. After the dinner, Zhao Yuan politely stayed with the two of them: "It's getting late, just stay in the mansion for one night, and leave tomorrow Bar!"

Yu Yunwen didn't pause at all, and readily agreed.

Zhao Yuan was a little surprised that Yu Yunwen didn't refuse. He didn't want to stay with the two of them at all. He originally planned to push the boat along as soon as the other party was polite, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even say polite words.

The words had been spoken and could not be taken back, so Zhao Yuan had to arrange a place for the two of them.Fortunately, there are many vacant rooms in the palace, so it is not very difficult.

When Xiao Shan returned to his room at night, he was still extremely depressed. He originally wanted to ask Zhao Yuan to explain what happened that day, but from morning to night, Zhao Yuan did not say more than three sentences to him, and there was always someone there. There is no chance at all.

It was Yu Yunwen who came to persuade him: "My dear brother, since you are here, you should quickly resolve the misunderstanding with His Highness! As a courtier, it is never a good thing to be angry with Your Highness!"

Xiao Shan nodded, and he also knew that if he wanted to keep going and become famous, he should have a good talk with Zhao Yuan, at least not to make the relationship as stiff as it is now.After thinking about his speech in his stomach, he walked out of the room and asked the servants of the Ming Mansion, Zhao Yuan was in the study, so he walked towards the study.
