"Qian Yuqing's family, please take the emperor's son to live in the prime minister's mansion - the prime minister stays, I still have something to say to you."

This... is this impatient to give the fourth prince to me? ——Hua Qianyu's eyebrows trembled twice, and at the same time bowed his head respectfully, and replied: "Yes." Then he backed up to the door.

"My son retire."

An Mingxi followed Hua Qianyu out of the imperial study, who was waiting for him on the steps.

"Does Your Highness need to pack any luggage?" Hua Qianyu asked.

"No need." With a wave of An Mingxi's hand, Ah Jiu rushed over, with a bundle tied around his body, which didn't seem to be able to hold much clothes, and that particularly protruding piece... a picture scroll?

Isn't this just telling him openly: We have premeditated? ——Hua Qianyu suddenly felt angry and funny.He pushed his right hand forward, flattened his palm, and respectfully said to An Mingxi: "Your Highness, please."

An Mingxi nodded, and went down the steps first, Ah Jiu and Hua Qianyu followed behind him.

……

There was a carriage outside the palace. Seeing Hua Qianyu approaching, the driver bent down and said, "My lord."

Hua Qianyu swept the air with his palm and said, "You don't need to be too polite."

"Yes." The driver looked up.

The coachman didn't see Hua Jueming with his probe, so he asked, "Where is your husband?"

"My lord is discussing matters with His Majesty. You first send the palace... this young master back to the mansion, and then return." It is not a problem for him to walk back alone, but if An Mingxi is present, of course he cannot be neglected.

An Mingxi quietly looked at the scenery outside the moat—there were still guards and patrols outside the palace, and civilians were not allowed to approach at will, but he could still see many civilians in civilian clothes within his sight...but he saw a few For a stranger, he felt so relieved.

"Young master, please get in the carriage." Hua Qianyu said, and the coachman also pulled back the curtain for him.

I want to go for a walk - he thought so, but he just nodded, and then got into the carriage with Ah Jiu's support.

Speaking of which, it was the first time to ride a carriage, and the inside was bigger than it looked from the outside.The body of this carriage is a cuboid. The body of the carriage is closed and has a hood. Windows are opened on the left and right sides of the carriage. car seats.

Seeing that An Mingxi was seated on the carriage seat, the coachman lowered the curtains and started to move the carriage.An Mingxi left the car seat, pulled back the curtain to call for a stop, and the driver immediately pulled the rope.

"Aren't you coming up?" He asked Hua Qianyu beside the car.

Hua Qianyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young master, if you don't mind being crowded."

An Mingxi shook his head, raised his lowered eyelids, and said, "Come up."

How could it be crowded?Just polite words.

He stretched out his hand, motioning for Hua Qianyu to help him into the car.

Hua Qianyu stretched out his hand to hold it, and stepped on the car board with An Mingxi's strength - An Mingxi, who had never worked hard, had no calluses in his palm, which reminded him of the touch of Hua Yingxue's palm, but An Mingxi's hand The meat is thin, and the bones can be felt, not too soft.

The two sat side by side in the car, and the driver drove again.

As the carriage drove, the copper luan swayed and jingled, and the voices outside the carriage became more and more noisy.The curtains are all made of thick materials, and the wind from the car can't make them move much. An Mingxi wanted to open the curtains to see the scenery outside, but closed his eyes and sat upright on the seat without moving. , Pretending to close his eyes and rest his mind.But with the sound, he can imagine lively scenes in the dark—even if he has never seen them.

Hua Qianyu on the side leaned slightly sideways, leaning against the wall of the car, and looked at An Mingxi leisurely and gracefully, but the other's slender eyelashes that occasionally fluttered did not make him look away.

The carriage gradually stopped, An Mingxi slowly opened his eyes, and immediately noticed the gaze of the young man beside him.Hua Qianyu didn't shy away, just smiled and said: "It's here."

An Mingxi did not respond.

Hua Qianyu got out of the carriage first, opened the curtain, and stretched out his hand to the people in the carriage who were about to get off.The latter fell to the ground with his support.

"My lord!" Le Yang, who was guarding the gate of the mansion, hurried over, running three steps at a time, looking very excited.

"Second Young Master has returned home!"

Hua Qianyu was also overjoyed: "Are you back?"

"Yes, in another courtyard."

"Then...cough, you go and tell the servants to tidy up the rooms in the other courtyard."

"Young master, do you want to move into another courtyard early?"

The Hua family attaches great importance to the connection between bloodlines, so they don't like extravagance, but build a large mansion so that their children can live together after they get married.Currently there are three other homes, and the offspring will move into the other homes shortly after their hair is tied.There are still some days before Hua Qianyu has her hair tied.

"Yes," Hua Qianyu nodded, "Clean up a guest room next to the master bedroom for the prince to stay in."

Le Yang bowed to An Mingxi, and then said: "Young Master Huang? Are you a new friend?" Le Yang couldn't remember seeing An Mingxi who was dressed as a woman before.

"Yes, go get ready."

"Okay." Le Yang turned and ran into the mansion.

With one hand behind his back, Hua Qianyu pushed out the other hand, and said to An Mingxi, "My lord, please."

An Mingxi walked ahead without nodding his head, and then said to Hua Qianyu who was following him, "Don't call me that."

"Then...how should I address Your Highness?" Hua Qianyu asked softly.

"up to you."

"……elder brother?"

An Mingxi was silent.

"Brother Xi?" Hua Qianyu tentatively called again.

The first time An Mingxi was called "brother", he had mixed feelings, especially when the other party was a boy as tall as himself.

"Brother Xi." Hua Qianyu called again.

Now An Mingxi said, "You have quite a few 'brothers'." He remembered that Hua Qianyu called An Mingjing in front of him before.

When Hua Qianyu heard the words, her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and said again: "But I only have you, 'Brother Xi'."

Ah Jiu, who heard this clearly nearby, trembled inexplicably.

what happened?It seemed strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

An Mingxi frowned slightly, and asked, "Don't you feel tired of always pleasing others?"

"What about you?" Hua Qianyu asked with a smile, "Aren't you tired of always hating others?"

An Mingxi walked away in a huff, and Ah Jiu, who was at a loss, hurriedly caught up with him.

Hua Qianyu kept smiling, and shouted at his back: "Brother Xi, you went to the wrong place!"

An Mingxi turned around and glared: "Don't call me that!"

"Going this way," Hua Qianyu seemed to ignore his anger, turned around, and walked straight to the other side of the corridor, "Brother."

……

"Brother Xi," Hua Qianyu knocked on the door of An Mingxi's room, and said, "Please follow me to the lobby for dinner."

"No need," An Mingxi said coldly, "Ah Jiu has already helped me get dinner from the kitchen, you guys... I won't bother you much."

"Troubleshooting," Hua Qianyu shook his head, "it doesn't count."

Really difficult to get along with.

Seeing that An Mingxi was silent, Hua Qianyu said: "Okay, if brother wants to eat alone, Qianyu will send food to brother three meals a day in the future."

"It could not be better."

After speaking, An Mingxi closed the door.The smiling face of Hua Qianyu, whose nose was facing the wooden door, froze.

Indeed - difficult to get along with.

Hua Qianyu took two steps back and then turned around. Just as he was about to go to the lobby, he saw Ajiu standing beside the tree full of magnolias in front of the moon cave. Ajiu was holding a bowl White rice.

Seeing that Ah Jiu hesitated to speak, Hua Qianyu asked, "What's going on?"

Ah Jiu bowed, and said, "The kitchen didn't want to give me any food, but only gave me a bowl of rice."

Hua Qianyu passed by him and said, "Follow me."

After going to the kitchen and asking about the situation, Hua Qianyu learned that the kitchen master thought it was too baffling for a stranger to come to the kitchen to beg for food, so he sent him away with a bowl of white rice.

Hua Qianyu explained Ah Jiu's identity to the master, and pointed out that Ah Jiu's owner is an important guest of Huafu, and he should not be neglected again in the future, and asked them to share a portion of the freshly prepared meals with An Mingxi. Both Ah Jiu and An Mingxi are in charge of the kitchen for three meals a day, especially An Mingxi's, who have to deliver meals and refreshments regularly.

He asked Ah Jiu to put down the bowl of rice he was holding in his hand, because someone would bring it over later.

After leaving the kitchen, Ah Jiu apologized while thanking her.

"My lord, he hasn't eaten since noon. Ajiu was afraid that my lord would be hungry, so I decided to come to the kitchen to beg for food... My lord, although he seems alienated from others on the surface, he is actually gentle and kind-hearted. Ajiu thinks that my lord is also very kind." I want friends, but he has been trapped in the palace all year round, unless it is important, he will not even step out of the Qingxin Palace, and as time goes by, he does not know how to communicate with people."

"Why are you telling me this?"

Ah Jiu bowed again and again: "I'm sorry, Ah Jiu is talking too much." After speaking, he ran away.

Do you want me to take the initiative to approach An Mingxi?

Hua Qianyu doesn't think that An Mingxi's attitude towards him is simply "I don't know how to interact with people".It is obvious that An Mingxi rejects him, but the reason is unknown.

Since the distinguished guests could not be invited, Hua Qianyu had no choice but to go back to the lobby by himself, just at this time the soup had already been served.

"Where are people?" Hua Jueming asked.

Hua Qianyu spread his hands: "Young Master Xi is not used to being lively."

"Forget it - did you order the kitchen to deliver food?"

"Send it over—" Hua Qianyu took his seat, "Where did brother Shu go?"

"I didn't even see a shadow."

Seeing Hua Jueming speaking reproachful words with a flat expression, the two brothers felt somewhat amused.

Shen Shuyun is in confinement, and will not leave the bedroom recently.

"Father, what did your Majesty say?" Hua Qianyu asked.

"Gossip is commonplace, it's not a big deal."

The conversation ended naturally at this point. The father and son drank the soup quietly. They all drank very slowly, and the three tacitly waited for Hua Qianshu's appearance.

The time for a cup of tea passed, Hua Qianshu led the two children into the lobby, and said to Hua Jueming and Hua Qianyu, "Father, Qianyu, long time no see."

Then he let go of the two children's hands, pushed forward lightly, and said, "My own."

Hua Qianmo rubbed his forehead——as expected...

Hua Qianyu was too surprised to speak, while Hua Jueming's face turned black.

Hua Qianshu knelt down, and whispered to the two children: "Did you see that, the one in the middle is called grandpa—it's up to you whether daddy will be scolded."

The two little guys nodded, and Hua Feiyue rushed forward first, calling out in a sweet voice, "Grandpa."

Hua Xinghe ran over after her sister, and shouted after her sister said: "Grandpa... Grandpa..." The voice was intermittent, not very confident.

Hearing the sound, Hua Jueming, who was at a loss, stood up, surrounded by his two grandsons, he didn't even know where to put his hands, allowing them to wrinkle his silk clothes.

"Grandpa!" Hua Feiyue raised his head and called again, his eyes were crooked with a smile, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were exactly the same as those of the men from the Hua family.

Hua Xinghe tugged on Hua Jueming's sleeve, he was a little afraid to raise his head.

Looking at his lovely grandson, a smile appeared on Hua Jueming's face unconsciously. He ordered someone to add two more bowls and chopsticks, sat on the chair again, and hugged the two grandchildren, each sitting on one leg.

"Are you hungry?" Hua Jueming asked.

The two shook their heads at the same time.

"Good good..."

Hua Jueming couldn't talk anymore, he just smiled and said yes, but just when Hua Qianshu was going to take advantage of Hua Jueming's joy and unknowingly take the seat reserved for him, Hua Jueming blacked out. Looking at him with a straight face: "Say clearly."

"I only found out a few months ago."

"Where's the girl?"

"I don't like it." Hua Qianshu said bluntly.

"You... bastard!"

Hua Qianmo hurriedly comforted his father: "Father, calm down and scold after eating."

Hua Jueming looked at Hua Xinghe as if he was frightened, quickly put away his anger, and said to Hua Qianshu: "After eating, I will settle the score with you later."

Hua Qianyu ate quietly, and left after dinner, and Hua Qianmo did the same. Before leaving, he did not forget to take the two children back to the room and left the lobby to Hua Jueming and Hua Qianshu.

……

Hua Qianyu, who returned to the dormitory, brought Le Yang who was in a daze back to his senses, and told Le Yang that he was about to leave Beijing and go south.Le Yang lamented the injustice for the young master, his eyes were red with anger - what is the difference between arranging a champion man to a poor country like the south, and being relegated?

Seeing Le Yang's reaction was bigger than his own, Hua Qianyu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Le Yang wiped away the tears that hadn't left his eyes, and flattened his mouth, "Young master, why aren't you angry?"

"Angry, why aren't you angry? But the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, let alone just going south?"

"What kind of emperor is this! I don't understand the reason!"

"Shh," Hua Qianyu made a silent gesture, "If anyone hears this, I can't save you."

Le Yang was full of energy.

"Do you want to stay in Luojing, or—"

Le Yang interrupted him: "It must be going with the young master! Don't talk about going south, even if you go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, Le Yang will not hesitate!"

"Don't, life matters."

"Life is not as important as your son!"

"It's my life that matters," Hua Qianyu knocked Le Yang on the head, "I won't go down the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire."

"Son..."
