I write novels in the East Palace

The location of Prince Rui's Mansion was chosen by Zhou Chengyu and Zhou Chengyao together. At the foot of the imperial city, in front of the noon gate, there is no need to take a sedan chair to enter the palace.

Zhou Chengyi didn't have any requirements for living quarters, and Fang Guanyan was not a demanding person, so they were asked to do whatever they wanted to do with the layout.

When they entered the mansion and took a look, they would have thought that they had entered the East Palace if they hadn't confirmed that they had left the palace with such familiar objects.

Even the pair of study rooms with two desks and separate office areas were also copied. The soft couch, charcoal basin, bookcase, books on the table, and quills in the drawer... none of them are unfamiliar.

The only strangers are the people serving outside.

Chang Xia and Lin Dong are both working in Qianyuan Palace now, and they are already Zhou Chengyu's people. As compensation, Zhou Chengyu sent a lot of people out of the palace, completely exceeding the ostentation that a prince should have.

But Zhou Chengyi didn't need many waiters, he only left a few cleaning staff, and sent them away.

Well, I used being poor and not being able to afford it as an excuse.

Before telling people to leave, Zhou Chengyi also wrote a note and divided it into two for them to take to Zhou Chengyao and Fu Qian respectively on the way.

Fang Guanyan thought of the words "guess" written on it, and silently turned his head as if he didn't see anything.

It was late in the evening when Zhou Chengyi finished his tour of the mansion, and he was surprised to find that the glued dog hole in the yard was also made.

Feel a little funny and a little touched.

"I was hungry in the East Palace for a long time. Fortunately, I met Xiao Shizi here and asked him to help deliver a message to my second brother. He crawled out of that dog hole." Zhou Chengyi said, thinking of Xu Rui's sonorous and powerful words "Climb for the Lord", I can't help laughing.

It was the first time Fang Guanyan knew about this, and the gaze that fell on Zhou Chengyi's side face suddenly became anxious.

There was a lot of pain there.

Zhou Chengyi felt a strong gaze, turned around and saw Fang Guanyan's unbearable expression, smiled and pinched his neck, with a soothing tone, and his voice was relieved.

"According to the time, you should have not entered Beijing at that time." During the drinking party in the previous year, Zhou Chengyi heard Fu Qian mention this matter, saying that the manuscript of "Fox Dream" was only published with the approval of Fang Guanyan.

It was Fang Guanyan's reception banquet at that time.

"If I could go to Beijing sooner..." Fang Guanyan murmured with downcast eyes.

Zhou Chengyi lightly patted him on the back twice, "What are you thinking? You went to Beijing earlier, and it wasn't me you saw."

"..." Fang Guanyan suddenly remembered the matter of being one body and two souls. After a moment of silence, he asked guiltily and anxiously, "That Your Highness... Will he come back?"

Zhou Chengyi didn't answer right away, but met Fang Guanyan's gaze, and saw all the emotions in it. He couldn't tell what mood he was in, but covered his eyes with his hand, then leaned over, gently and without emotion. The kiss with the slightest desire seems to be conveying one's own temperature.

"Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

Zhou Chengyi's palms itched slightly, and it was Fang Guanyan who blinked.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Shizi used to open his mouth and call himself Young Master, but I don't know if it is still the case now."

Zhou Chengyi held Fang Guanyan's hand, rubbed his thumb affectionately on the back of his hand, and said looking up at the sky.

Here is also a high wall, and the sky when you look up is always annihilated outside the wall, but it is not depressing, but feels free.

Because of the low-key palace banquets during the mourning period, the Lantern Festival is a little more open, and the ban has been lifted.

When the two of them left the palace to have a banquet in the palace, they saw small stalls set up on the streets of Chang'an, and river lanterns were hung up. If it was a little darker, it would be like fireflies at night, noisy and warm.

"Fourth brother!" As soon as Zhou Chengyi stepped into the palace, he was thrown into his arms. The young empress took off her solemn imperial robe and dressed a little more festively. She also wore two pigtails in a playful way without even wearing a hat. .

Zhou Chengyu didn't have any self-consciousness about being an emperor at all, he raised his head and turned his head from side to side, a little nervously, to show Zhou Chengyi his braid.

"Does it look good? It was pierced by my mother!" Her voice was light and delicate.

As a result, before the words finished, Zhou Chengyi grabbed him directly, "It's pretty, but it's a little unsuitable to grow on your head."

Zhou Chengyu's eyes widened, he slapped his hand away angrily, and threw himself into Fang Guanyan's arms, and snorted coldly at Zhou Chengyi, "Hmph! You're just jealous of my cuteness!"

Once a stranger and second acquaintance, Fang Guanyan is much calmer this time.

Zhou Chengyi frowned, stretched out his hand and pinched Her Majesty's back collar and lifted him up, as if he was carrying a cat with its teeth and claws.

"What are you doing?" Suddenly flying into the air, Zhou Chengyu jumped twice and hugged his hand, looking as if he was about to bite his wrist at any moment.

"I still want to ask what are you doing? What are you doing pestering your sister-in-law all day? Go, go, go and approve the memorial." Zhou Chengyi still remembered that she had admitted that she liked Fang Guanyan, and her possessiveness immediately surged up. It was very unreasonable to put the short-legged queen aside, and even made a movement to drive her away.

Zhou Chengyu was just subconsciously acting like a baby, he really had no idea, but when he saw Zhou Chengyi's strict defense, he instantly rebelled.

The two brothers and sisters with the oldest age gap started arguing non-stop like two fighting cocks because of this incident.

Zhou Chengyao had originally accepted the note, but he was short of breath and wanted to go to Zhou Chengyi to talk about it, but he didn't know that he got up a step too late, and there was a quarrel over there, without giving him the slightest chance to intervene.

He was silent for a while, but he still didn't have an attack. Instead, he called Fang Guanyan over, "The two of them must be having a fight for a while. I heard that you have been on your way and haven't eaten yet, right? Eat something to fill your stomach first."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness." Fang Guanyan was really hungry and pressed his chest to his back, so he didn't delay, and saluted thoughtfully to thank him.

"You don't have to call me so unfamiliar, if you want, you can call me Second Brother along with Yi'er."

Without waiting for Fang Guanyan's reaction, he naturally introduced the gentle princess beside him, "This is your sister-in-law."

Naturally, Fang Guanyan knew everyone, but it was the first time he was introduced as a family member, so he was a little confused and called sister-in-law.

The princess pressed her lips with an embroidered handkerchief and smiled twice, her eyes were half-curved into crescent moons, and there was a bit of eccentricity in her gentle demeanor, "If Yan'er is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave when I see you, Ayan. Moving, clamoring and clamoring to go back to the mansion with you."

Zhou Pingyan, as the eldest grandson of the current royal family, is still inexplicably treated friendly by Zhou Chengyu. It can be said that he has been extremely wealthy in this life.

However, the little prince didn't want anything when he was catching Zhou. He just grabbed a box of rouge and somehow opened it. His face was covered in red, and he clapped his hands happily. Later, he couldn't walk when he saw something beautiful. , watching them drool.

This beauty is not only limited to men and women, but also not limited to species.

According to rumors, in order to chase the big white goose raised by Xu Rui's young son, he threw his butt blue, and he didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, when he was picked up, he kicked his legs and struggled to touch the big goose.

However, this big goose has been caught and plucked twice before. Although it still struts proudly every day, once someone wants to approach it, it turns its head and runs out.

Fang Guanyan would know that Zhou Chengyi was the one who said this, and he said thoughtfully at the time, "Maybe what matters is not the goose feathers, but the body under the goose feathers."

The big goose stewed in an iron pot is so fragrant and delicious!

When Fang Guanyan heard him say this at the time, he felt a little horrified when he watched "Where He Is" for the first time.

On the other side, the brother and sister were arguing childishly, while on the other side, the real kid Zhou Pingyan ran in from the outside, calling "Mother" in a childish voice.

He had a good appearance, resembling a princess, and his big eyes twinkled very painfully.

Contrary to what the concubine said, Zhou Pingyan looked at Fang Guanyan's face and did not lose his mind. He even buried his head for a while and swooped down to hide behind Zhou Chengyao. His little head was bumped up and down, making his old father who was in poor health Couldn't help coughing twice.

Zhou Pingyan poked his head out quietly, and stared at Fang Guanyan intently.

"..." Fang Guanyan thought for a while, then picked up a glass of water on the table and handed it over.

Zhou Pingyan stretched out his delicate fingers to pick up the cup, then retracted behind Zhou Chengyao's back and drank it.

"Ayan is so good-looking that he's even shy at banquets." Zhou Chengyi, who had won the quarrel with his sister, walked over arrogantly, speaking not only arrogantly but also shamelessly.

Fang Guanyan's face turned red instantly.

The concubine smiled, Zhou Chengyao didn't have a good look at his younger brother who used the word "guess" to perfunctory his brother, and decided to cut off the relationship for a while.

As for Zhou Chengyu, who lost the quarrel, he puffed up his face and went to Queen Mother Min to act coquettishly and cry.

Empress Dowager Min handed over the comb in her hand to the maid behind her, and gently stroked Zhou Chengyu's head. She didn't know that she had applied makeup, but she was still in a good mood. There was blood on her face, and she looked much better than she had seen before.

Those present at the banquet were all royal families who had a good relationship with the queen, such as Princess Anyang's family of three, Princess Huimin and so on.

As for Zhou Cheng'an and his like, those who were demoted to common people were demoted and severely punished, and she didn't pursue those who didn't show up, so as not to force the dog to jump the wall, but let people secretly collect their information and wait until the right time to attack.

It has to be said that Zhou Chengyu is young, but he has learned a lot from the emperor.

Moreover, she not only has the emperor's benevolent and ruthless means, but also preserves this younger heart that is brave to explore and seek knowledge.

When the emperor was there, he mostly sought progress while maintaining stability, but when Zhou Chengyu ascended the throne, he sought stability while advancing.

It can be seen from the dispatch of officials to Cangzhou and the appointment of inexperienced people to important positions.

Zhou Chengyi talked about Qi Qige during the period, Princess Anyang obviously still remembered her daughter's name, there was surprise and joy in her eyes, but also relief.

"As long as she lives well, I don't worry." The eldest princess wiped away her tears and said, and didn't ask much about it afterwards.

This real family banquet was very relaxed from the beginning to the end, there were no spoilers, and there was no need to follow the etiquette, each talking about something, and then fighting in groups of three or four.

Duke Ding drank a little too much, Zhou Chengyao took his son, Empress Dowager Min lost her spirits, Zhou Chengyu couldn't play, the eldest princess, concubine, and Princess Huimin lacked one, and Fang Guanyan went up.

"But I, I won't." House Gu, who had always been indifferent all this time, was also a little dazed and flustered at this moment, he looked back at Zhou Chengyi helplessly.

"You have novice protection, it's okay, just hit it." Zhou Chengyi held up a chair and sat behind him.

Zhou Chengyu also sat over curiously to watch and cheered him up.

Fang Guanyan blinked. He drank some wine so that he wouldn't get drunk, but his reaction was a bit slow.

The eldest princess was impatient when she went to the poker table, she shuffled the cards and said, "You have learned from Tang Henian, and you seem to be good at calculating. If you really can't do it, just count it."

"Can this be done?" Fang Guanyan hesitantly took out three copper coins.

The three people at the poker table nodded casually.

Zhou Chengyi couldn't help but curled his lips into a smile.

Fang Guanyan touched a hand of cards and then raised his hand to make a hexagram, according to the hint of the hexagram, he blankly spread the cards and pushed them down.

"Tianhu." Zhou Chengyi laughed out loud.

After three rounds of playing, Fang Guanyan, who was hanging out, was kicked off the poker table with a stack of money tickets in his hand, and the queen rolled up her sleeves and went up enthusiastically.

Fang Guanyan was a little sleepy, and was picked up by Zhou Chengyi, "don't sleep yet, go somewhere."

"Huh?" Fang Guanyan questioned.

"Today's Lantern Festival, the Prime Minister is still waiting in the mansion." Zhou Chengyi changed the cloak for him, and said with a smile, "I haven't visited my father seriously since we got married, it shouldn't be."

Fang Guanyan paused for a moment, as if he just came to his senses, gave a soft "hmm", and let him hug him obediently.

It wasn't until Zhou Chengyi walked a few steps that he heard the person in his arms muttering in a low voice, "Hold one and share the white head".

Zhou Chengyi's footsteps stopped, and suddenly fine snow floated from the sky, and it fell on top of their heads one after another.

"Well, not only do we have to share the white head, but we also need everyone to watch and know."

"Ayan, I'm thinking of what to write in the next article."
