After three years of reconciliation, the emperor regretted

On the other side, Xiao Yunyan rode into the palace on dark clouds and snow.

After dismounting, he went to the East Palace immediately. Fu Linhai, who was waiting at the door, saw Xiao Yunyan's figure sharply, and hurried in to report.

The prince was finally willing to show up, and he took three months of vacation without saying where he was going. Although his master didn't say anything, he was really worried about it.

Now that the person appeared safe and sound, Fu Linhai subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and his master could finally sleep well.

"Prince, prince..."

Xiao Yiheng was reviewing the memorials with a vermilion pen, and his enthronement ceremony would be three days later. His father gradually put the heavy burden on his shoulders. He had been reviewing the memorials for some time.

Hearing Fu Linhai's startled voice, Xiao Yiheng frowned in displeasure: "What does it look like in a panic? What happened?"

"Return to the prince's words." Fu Linhai swallowed, and hurriedly said: "It's the prince, the prince is here!"

"Yun Yan entered the palace?" Throwing away the vermilion pen, Xiao Yiheng stood up neatly and walked towards the door.

Fu Linhai waved his whisk and followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xiao Yiheng standing at the gate of the hall to welcome him. Xiao Yunyan paused before continuing to walk forward.

"Brother Huang, your enthronement ceremony..."

Seeing Xiao Yunyan's distressed expression, Xiao Yiheng waved his hands and said, "It's inconvenient outside, let's talk about it inside."

When Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Yunyan both entered the hall, Fu Linhai retreated left and right with sharp eyesight, and gently closed the hall door before he retreated.

"What's the matter, let's talk about it now." Xiao Yiheng has already guessed the reason for Xiao Yunyan's visit, and the enthronement ceremony will be in three days, nothing more than...

"Brother Huang, Jing Rong may not participate in your enthronement ceremony..."

I had already begged, but the man didn't give a clear answer, and before he was kicked out, Chu Jingrong's indifferent attitude should be... It is impossible to come to the imperial brother's enthronement ceremony.

In the final analysis, it was all because of himself. If it wasn't for him, Chu Jingrong would not have angered the imperial brother or the royal family.

Sure enough, he guessed it right: "I thought it was something, it's fine if the emperor doesn't come, Da Zhou is the world of our Xiao family, and I'm also the rightful future son of heaven, the emperor's coming is the icing on the cake, it's okay if he doesn't come, You don't need to blame yourself for this."

It is true that Chu Jingrong was kind to the Xiao family, but as a human being, he was partial after all.

In Dazhou, the emperor teacher is unique, but he also only has such a second brother, Xiao Yiheng can clearly understand which is more important.

"Brother Huang, I'm sorry!" The more no one blamed him, the more Xiao Yunyan blamed himself.

Parents, brothers, family, country, and the world, in his heart, are all inferior to Chu Jingrong. As the prince of the Great Zhou, he failed to shoulder the responsibilities on his shoulders.

"Brother Huang, I'm sorry!" Xiao Yunyan lowered his head and murmured repeatedly.

Seeing Xiao Yunyan's appearance like this, Xiao Yiheng felt very uncomfortable.

The second younger brother had a restrained temperament since he was a child, and he begged them once when he grew up. He and his father, queen mother and queen tried their best to pamper him once, but Xiao Yunyan got into the horns by himself.

He, the second younger brother who values ​​responsibility more than life, has to abandon his responsibility for a Chu Jingrong, and he doesn't live like himself.

If you love someone, you have to give up yourself, no matter how painful it is, you have to let go, because this person is really not suitable for you, if you insist on entanglement, it will only hurt others and yourself.

Because he was a bystander, Xiao Yiheng could see clearly, and because Xiao Yunyan was in authority, he didn't intend to persuade him.

If you don't listen to this kind of thing, you will let it go when the pain reaches your bones.

"If it's just because of this, don't talk about it anymore. You haven't seen anyone for three months. I want to ask, where have you been?"

"Qiong Mountain." Xiao Yunyan didn't intend to hide it.

"Qiongshan, what are you going to do in Qiongshan? The royal hunting ground is not enough for you to torment, and you have to run so far to practice riding and archery?"

"I... went to catch a sea dongqing."

That's enough, Xiao Yiheng lost interest in getting to the bottom of it.

The dignified Prince Zhou Guoxiang, what do you want? If you insist on going to Qiongshan to catch Haidongqing by yourself, there is no need to ask. It must be to please Chu Jingrong again.

Xiao Yiheng sat back at the desk, picked up the ink pen, and started to review the memorial again.

He seemed to be engrossed, but in fact he couldn't read a single word. He felt stuck in his heart, unable to go up or down.

What my brother did, I didn't worry less about him, right?Why don't you see him come to please yourself?

Before the age of eight, the second brother followed behind her every day, opening and closing his mouth was the elder brother, the elder brother was short, but after the age of eight, Chu Jingrong was killed halfway, and his elder brother fell out of favor.

"The enthronement ceremony will be in three days, so you can stay in the palace for the next few days, and you won't be able to disappear in the blink of an eye!"

"No, brother, it's your big day after all." After a little hesitation, Xiao Yunyan brought up the past: "When I was guarding the border, I also discussed with General Huo that we must come back triumphantly before you become crowned. Congratulations."

Listen, this sounds like a human saying, Xiao Yiheng felt a lot more at ease, but on the surface he still snorted coldly, showing an appearance that was hard to please.

"Don't talk sweet words. According to the rules, you will stay in the palace for the next few days. Tonight, I will ask Fu Linhai to prepare good wine and food, and wait for you in Qiankun Palace. While there is still some time, you can go and invite your father, queen and queen." Ann, I'm thinking about you. It just so happens that I also have some memorials to approve, and if I can't finish them today, I'll pile them up until tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go to the queen mother's bedroom now."

Hearing this, Xiao Yiheng waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly, seemingly impatient, but after Xiao Yunyan turned and left, he raised his head and stared at Xiao Yunyan's leaving back.

Xiao Yiheng knew that his second brother hadn't been doing well in the past few months, because in Xiao Yunyan's eyes, the look that pulled him to ride the horse and whip the whip never appeared again, but it was not as bad as he expected That's it, maybe... Chu Jingrong's heart softened towards him.

Xiao Yiheng shook his head about Chu Jingrong, he couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Yiheng admitted that during the years when he was a student under his hands, it was also the years when his knowledge and martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds. He was obviously only five years older than himself, but at that time Chu Jingrong's abilities were far beyond what he is now.

It may be because there are other countries around the Great Zhou Kingdom, and other countries also have their own outstanding princes, but in this world, there is only one Chu Jingrong.

He raised his left hand and stared at his palm. He had also experienced being spanked. There was a day when this hand was swollen like a pig's trotter. However, he was treated with medicine by that person himself. I have never experienced it.

I used to think that it was because I was older that Chu Jingrong's attitude towards him was inevitably stricter, but now that I think about it, maybe that's not the case...

Maybe even Chu Jingrong himself didn't realize that when he treated the two children, he didn't have a bowl of water. He favored Xiao Yunyan.

That's right, this wolf will not come to you for no reason, it must be smelling of meat!

Xiao Yunyan came to the Fengyi Palace where the queen lived, and Chu Xiner was playing chess with the current saint Xiao Qifeng.

Unlike Xiao Yiheng's sad face, Xiao Qifeng, who was finally about to unload his burden, was now in high spirits, and he was more than ten years younger.

Instead of wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, he put on a well-fitting navy blue casual dress, took off his boots, and sat cross-legged on the slum, without any airs of the Holy Majesty.

The same goes for Chu Xiner. She took off the heavy hair accessories on her head, tied up her long hair with only a green hairpin, and wore an apricot-yellow skirt. girl.

Xiao Yunyan was very relieved to see his father and queen mother living well. He stepped forward and knelt down on one knee.

"My son greets my father and queen mother."

"Yan'er is here! Don't play, don't play, this time it's a draw." Chu Xiner took the opportunity to throw away the chess pieces, messed up the chessboard, and waved happily to Xiao Yunyan: "Come to the mother's side quickly."

Xiao Qifeng has long been accustomed to this, his wife, every time she wants to lose, she will play tricks, either regret the game, or divert his attention to secretly swallow a few pieces, Xiao Qifeng has always turned a blind eye to it.

Xiao Yunyan came to Chu Xiner's side, and Chu Xiner grabbed her arm. She grabbed Xiao Yunyan's arm and pressed it from top to bottom. She didn't find any obvious injuries, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard from your father that you haven't been to the morning court for three whole months, and you haven't been to sit with your mother. Where have you been?"

"Going out for a while, it's not a big deal." With a secretive attitude, she made it clear that she didn't intend to elaborate, Chu Xiner didn't continue to ask, she already had the answer in her heart.

"Okay, let's live in the palace for the next few days. After the enthronement ceremony is over, there will be a family banquet and a reunion, and then the father and mother will leave for the south."

They are going to visit the mountains and rivers, first go to Yangzhou, then to Luoyang, and then turn back to Jinling...

Chu Xiner made plans early in the morning. She had been looking forward to this day for many years. Unfortunately, at her age, she still hadn't been able to see the two eldest sons get married in a real sense.

After hesitating for a long time, Chu Xiner still asked a lot: "You see, on the day of the family banquet, is it convenient for Chu Jingrong to come?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yunyan's face changed, but he quickly hid it, and said apologetically to Chu Xiner: "Mother, Jing Rong has been... not feeling well these past two days, and the family banquet may be inconvenient for him." Come."

It might be possible to deceive others with this little trick, but Chu Xiner is Xiao Yunyan's mother, as the saying goes, there is no better mother than a mother.

It's been a few months, isn't that person's attitude loose?

Chu Xiner was a little worried, even if she left for the south in a few days, it would still be a problem for her.

"Okay, okay, it's okay if it's inconvenient, come on, Yan'er, let's play two rounds with the emperor, your mother always cheats." Xiao Qifeng said at the right time, interrupting Chu Xiner's next cross-examination, not wanting Xiao Yunyan Embarrassed.

"Who's playing tricks? Yan'er and I still have something to say, what's wrong with you?" Chu Xiner glared at Xiao Qifeng angrily.

"Yan'er has grown up, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, you can take care of your own housework, if you can't do it, you can divorce and marry another one, anyway, it's a secret marriage, no one knows about it, and no one sees it as a joke."

Now that he was stepping back from that position, Xiao Qifeng also looked away. He didn't think that there would be a good relationship between Yan'er and Chu Jingrong. After two years of tossing, the child matured, so he stopped messing around.

But their Xiao family is really sorry for Chu Jingrong. When the time comes, the land that should be ceded, the compensation that should be paid, as long as Chu Jingrong likes it, gold, silver, treasure, power and status, whatever compensation you want, you should make up for Chu Jingrong's two things. Years of wasted time.
