The prime minister's son's hair tie ceremony will naturally entertain many guests.The venue was well-arranged the day before the banquet. Due to concerns about the sun being too hot, the banquet was changed from early morning to after sunset.

Qianyu tied up her hair early on, with white jade hairpins carved into the shape of thin bamboo interspersed, and a blue ribbon tied at the bottom of her bun.He was dressed in green, with silver threads hidden in the blue fabric, and the thin bamboos made of silver threads could be seen clearly only by following the light.He wears a jadeite jade pendant around his waist, and the jade pendant has a pattern that symbolizes the Hua family.Behind the jade pendant is a sword with a bronze scabbard hanging obliquely, the sword hides its front, but the hilt and scabbard are carved with precision, and the sharpness and hardness of the sword body will also be extraordinary.

An Mingxi, whose face injury has not yet healed, hid in the distance and watched Shufa Licheng—in fact, it was just Hua Qianyu making a long bow to Hua Jueming, and Hua Jueming said something to his youngest son and the guests After speaking, Hua Qianyu bowed, and the guests applauded... An Mingxi didn't understand why it was necessary to pull so many people to watch such a trivial matter. Long and rarely full bunch.

It is said that the palace is strictly disciplined. In fact, for a prince like him who is left alone, he is very free, but he is not allowed to go out.

If in the previous dynasty, it was the behavior of a beggar if the hair was not tied well, but due to the custom, in the Ning Dynasty, the appearance of a man also became part of the evaluation of his social status, so his hairstyle began to change, and he was said to be chic. The ponytail is called heroic, the curly speech is correct, and the hair is elegant... In addition to hairstyles, making fuss about hair accessories is also a way for wealthy and famous families to show their financial resources.Although it is said that no matter whether it is a hair tie ceremony or a crown ceremony, the first growth of a teenager is the core of the ceremony, but since hairstyles have changed, the meaning of these ceremonies has become a little bit less. For most people nowadays, it is just a formality. It's just for celebration, and the large-scale banquet that serves as an advertisement is usually only held by people like the Hua family-now most of the big shots in the capital know what the young man looks like.

After the ceremony, Hua Qianyu walked to the place where his friend of the same age was with a smile. An Mingjing went to talk to him earlier, Hua Qianyu made a bow, and An Mingjing patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

An Mingxi felt extremely shocked. Looking at An Mingjing's bright smiling face, he couldn't help but vomit.

He thought that if he had the chance, he would definitely take off An Mingjing's hypocritical mask in front of Hua Qianyu.

... It seems that Hua Qianyu's popularity is not bad. After Hua Qianyu sat down, talking and laughing continued.

"Let's go." An Mingxi turned his head to Ah Jiu and said.

"Yes." Ah Jiu glanced at Hua Qianyu in the center of the crowd.

Just when An Mingxi turned around to leave, everyone said in unison——

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Father emperor?

An Mingxi looked back at the only two people standing in the venue: An Qingxuan and Hua Yaxi.

An Qingxuan, who looked down at everyone with her hands behind her back, calmly said: "Everyone loves you."

After everyone was at peace, An Qingxuan said again: "Don't worry about me, I just accompanied the queen to celebrate my nephew's birthday."

Birthday?

Such condescension to come outside the palace, with such reasons, not to mention Hua Jueming's disbelief, even Hua Qianyu felt it was perfunctory.However, people who don't know the truth may think that the emperor loves the queen very much.

An Mingxi couldn't help but took a step forward, but seeing Hua Yaxi beside An Qingxuan, he still chose to leave.

Ah Jiu quickened her pace to catch up with the hurried An Mingxi: "Your Highness, don't you want to see Your Majesty?"

"No, I'm not fit to show up."

"But……"

"The matter of going south is a secret."

"Yes."

……

It was almost midnight when the banquet ended.The guests who were still immersed in the atmosphere of the banquet blushed, smelled of alcohol, and left Hua Mansion one after another while chatting with each other. Apart from the members of the Hua family, only a few members of the royal family remained.

An Qingxuan who said he wanted to borrow the study got up and said, "Qianyu, bring Xi'er to see me."

Hua Qianyu made a bow—from the corner of his eye, he received An Mingjing's burning gaze, but under An Qingxuan's gaze, he didn't return any of An Mingjing's gazes, and left straight away.At the same time, An Qingxuan also walked to the study under the leadership of Hua Jueming.

"Your Majesty." Hua Yaxi said.

An Qingxuan seemed to have noticed that his wife and children were there, so he said, "The queen is waiting for me to return to the palace together." This is where An Mingjing was not arranged.

An Mingjing felt ignored.

Le Yang was following Hua Qianyu, but as soon as he entered the corridor, he was called to rest by Hua Qianyu.

Hua Yaxi and An Mingjing were also invited to the lobby.

……

Your Majesty guessed that I would talk about the matter with the Crown Prince——Hua Qianyu was thinking while walking on the road.

The emperor is indeed an old fox, every move must have his reasons.

Why do you show up swaggeringly?To cover up the real purpose, or to convey a message?

The purpose is not yet clear, but he said in front of the prince that he wanted to see An Mingxi...can he mention this to the queen and the prince?According to the prince's reaction, at least he never mentioned it to the prince... So frankly telling them that An Mingxi is in Huafu, he must be saying that he already knew that I would talk to the prince about this matter, or he knew the prince already met with me...

Hua Qianyu shook his head, maybe the more he thought about dealing with this kind of old fox, the easier it would be for him to fall into his trap.

"Brother." Hua Qianyu knocked on the door.

Looking at the extinguished lights in the room, he thought that An Mingxi should have fallen asleep.

He pushed open the door, walked to the bed, lit the candles on the lamp stand, and then sat beside An Mingxi's bed, gently shook his shoulders, and called out softly, "Brother, it's time to get up."

With his eyes half open, An Mingxi who saw Hua Qianyu asked in a daze, "Is it dawn?"

"Not yet," Hua Qianyu explained, "Your Majesty wants to see you."

An Mingxi woke up immediately and sat up: "Father wants to see me?"

"Yes."

Hua Qianyu stood up and made room for him to get out of bed.An Mingxi took off the coat hanging on the hanger, put it on, and then picked up the belt that was put aside to tie it.His less dexterous hands quickly laced the clothes into crumpled ones.Hua Qianyu sighed with a smile, removed his belt, arranged his clothes, and tied them again for him.

An Mingxi raised his arms and raised his head. When he secretly lowered his head to look at Hua Qianyu, he happened to meet Hua Qianyu's gaze, so he raised his head higher embarrassingly.

Hua Qianyu felt a little amused.

"All right."

"Yeah." An Mingxi lowered his arms.

"Hair... I can't do it." The dress is done, but Hua Qianyu knows that the hair can't be tied well.

An Mingxi shook his head, raised his hand and divided his black hair into two parts, tied the upper half loosely into a bun, and then took the bandage and tied it up a few times.

Hua Qianyu looked at An Mingxi's hairstyle: "Although it's not straight, it's not ugly - although it's to see the emperor, but it's his father after all... shouldn't be a problem, right?

An Mingxi raised his chin and turned his head sideways. Although there was no obvious expression on his face, he was clearly signaling: "Look at how well I'm doing?"

Hua Qianyu smiled and raised his hand, adjusted his straps slightly, then met his eyes and praised: "Very good."

……

When the two walked to the desk one after the other, under An Qingxuan's gaze, they bowed at the same time and said in unison: "See father emperor (my emperor)."

An Qingxuan said with a sullen face, "Hua Qianyu, are you convicted?"

Hua Qianyu knelt down on his knees and kowtowed: "I am guilty."

An Mingxi who was still bowing didn't know why, so he raised his head to look at An Qingxuan.

"What crime?" An Qingxuan asked.

Hua Qianyu said: "Crime of dereliction of duty - Qianyu failed to protect the prince with due diligence, and should be questioned."

An Mingxi realized that it was his "crime" caused by his unswollen left face, and hurriedly said: "Father, don't blame him—"

An Qingxuan ignored An Mingxi's words, and interrupted: "If Xi'er is seriously injured, it will not only be you, but I will also ask the prime minister for the crime - I hope you will keep it in mind."

"Yes."

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hua Qianyu stood up, but saw that An Mingxi was still bending over and not moving.

"Xi'er." An Qingxuan called out.

An Mingxi stood up straight.

"Qianyu Aiqing, do you have any ideas about the matter of going south for surveillance and the itinerary?"

"Yes." Hua Qianyu bowed, "Kyushu is vast, and it must be difficult to visit every inch of land, so Yu wanted to go to Suzhou first, following the route of Jiangnan, Lingnan, Qianzhong, and Jiannan. It's a "coincidental encounter"—however, Qianyu will definitely come across several big states."

An Qingxuan didn't intend to explore the details, but only asked, "How long will it take?"

"Four years at the fastest, six years at the slowest."

"Okay, I'll give you five years. If there are no accidents, five years later, today, I want you to bring Xi'er back to Luojing safe and sound."

"Yes!"

Hua Qianyu thought to himself: This also means that within five years, you are not allowed to return to Beijing.

An Qingxuan walked out from behind the desk, approached, patted the shoulders of the two, and said, "Be careful."

"Yes."

Afterwards, the three of them staggered, and An Qingxuan left the study.Hua Qianyu looked at An Mingxi who was still in a daze, and asked, "Is brother okay?"

An Mingxi raised his head, stared blankly at the person in front of him, then turned and left the study.

... The emperor said that he wanted to question the crime.

He used to bring a face-scarring saint, but his father ignored it.

At that time, he thought that his father might just think it was a small fight between children, but it turned out that... his father would also be held accountable for this...

It turned out that he was just a tool used by the emperor to suppress Huaxiang...

It turned out that letting him go away was not to protect him, but to hope that he would be severely injured because of Hua Qianyu's ineffective protection?

Is there really no love at all?

really loveless...

Hua Qianyu followed quickly, stood in front of An Mingxi, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" Seeing that An Mingxi's eyes were red, big tears were falling out.

He also has Hua Qianyu——An Mingxi thought while clutching Hua Qianyu's lapel.

In fact, it’s okay, if the old ones don’t go, the new ones won’t come.

He lost a father who didn't care about him, but he also welcomed a friend who would save him in danger and comfort him.

"nausea."

The cold voice pierced An Mingxi's ears.

In astonishment, he looked up at Hua Qianyu, who hurriedly said, "It's not me..."

At the same time, the two turned their heads to the real speaker - An Mingjing.

An Mingjing met An Mingxi's gaze, and his black eyes became deeper under the moonlight, as cold as a cold pool.

This familiar expression made An Mingxi tremble all over, and the tears that were originally flowing stopped abruptly with this trembling.When An Mingjing turned around, An Mingxi looked back at Hua Qianyu, only to see that he was still staring at An Mingjing...until An Mingjing walked away.

Hua Qianyu looked at An Mingjing who was walking away, and almost wanted to catch him - he knew An Mingjing well, and he knew that An Mingjing who looked like this was more lonely than angry.But thinking that An Mingxi in front of him was still sad, he turned his head and comforted the startled An Mingxi: "He—"

"Are you from the prince?"

Hua Qianyu was taken aback.

An Mingxi restrained his trembling voice, and said again: "Hua Qianyu, are you from An Mingjing's side?" The hand holding Hua Qianyu's skirt tightened.

"I..." Hua Qianyu was speechless.

"Do not lie to me."

Hua Qianyu looked at his wet eyes and felt a little bit in his heart, but he still chose to tell the truth: "Yes."

"Ha..." An Mingxi chuckled, but the corners of his lips couldn't lift the slightest arc, all the strength in his body seemed to be taken away, and he couldn't even open his mouth to make a sound.

Finally, he let go and exited sadly.
