He glanced at the invitation casually, and the corners of his lips curled into a smile: How can I forget the good deeds of His Royal Highness King Ji.Seeing that his son-in-law was not completely unreliable, UBS secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and came in with warm water, and waited for Rong Yan to freshen up and change clothes.Rong Yan washed his face, sat down in front of the bronze mirror, fiddled with his hair by UBS, and played with the hosta in his hand boredly, and suddenly spoke: I heard that the prince got married two years earlier than King Ji, why don't you even have an heir?
UBS's hand to tie Rong Yan's hair stopped, Rong Yan saw his nervous expression from the bronze mirror, and laughed lightly: Let's chat in the mansion in private, are you still afraid that I will do this in front of the prince?
UBS hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: The villain had heard people talk about it before, saying that it was the queen who married the crown princess for His Royal Highness the crown prince that day, and His Royal Highness didn't like it, and he never went to the princess's courtyard on weekdays.As he spoke, he scratched his head, but for some reason, His Royal Highness had never married a side concubine, so Rong Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his lips: In this way, if Princess Ji gave birth to a boy this time, wouldn't it be a pity if she was not the rightful eldest grandson of the emperor!
Son!
UBS can't help but remind, you must pay attention when you arrive at King Ji's mansion!
When you first arrived in Xu Kingdom, you were helpless, and it was not appropriate to offend any of Your Highnesses by accidentally saying the wrong thing!
Rong Yan glanced back at the serious UBS, and nodded seriously: Okay, I know!
Rumo's long hair was tied up with a white hosta, revealing a fair and delicate face, dressed in a fresh and elegant cyan round-necked robe and a white robe.The moment Rong Yan walked into King Ji's Mansion, Liang Ji, who was talking to someone in the courtyard, lost his mind for a short time.In a trance, he seemed to see the noble and delicate little boy with smiling eyes in his previous life.General Liang?
The neglected servant of the Criminal Department followed Liang Ji's gaze, this is not the little proton of Wei State, His Royal Highness King Ji actually invited him too?
Liang Ji retracted his gaze and replied meaninglessly: He is the guest of His Royal Highness King Ji today.Except for the banquet on the day of the tribute, the courtiers of the Xu State had no contact with Rong Yan, and the waiter of the Criminal Department couldn't figure out why a proton under the fence had such treatment, Liang Ji said lightly: Your Lord should understand His Royal Highness King Ji, if there is no His Majesty's will, how can he be so close to the Wei people?
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, as for the holy will, the adults should not speculate.After the words fell, he glanced at Rong Yan again, turned around and entered the door.Gao Chuncai is high-spirited, has a good character, and is quite popular in the court, so there are many guests in the Jiwang Mansion on this day.Rao is like this, as soon as Fang entered King Ji's mansion, Rong Yan still saw Liang Ji at a glance.With just one glance, I couldn't help but think of the two snow lions in the courtyard, one big and one small.Honor!
Gao Chun greeted him in person, with a smile on his face, a sincere attitude, and a few thoughtful courtesies.Rong Yan took the congratulatory gift from UBS and handed it to the steward behind Gao Chun: Congratulations to His Royal Highness on his beloved daughter.Gao Chun skillfully pulled his arm and led the person into the door: It's cold outside, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up first.In this room, they are all members of the royal family or Liang Ji, who have known Gao Chun since childhood, and most of them have prominent identities and have a high status in the court.Rong Yan, who followed Gao Chun in, looked a little out of place.Gao Chun turned his eyes from the house, saw Liang Ji sitting on the side, and stepped forward and said: Rong Yan has not long been in Longcheng, and he doesn't know many people.There are many guests in the house today, and I have no time to take care of each other, and I also help me take care of Rongyan.Rong Yan pursed his lips slightly and laughed lightly: Your Highness asked someone to pour me a cup of tea, just find a place to sit, General Liang is busy with affairs, how dare he bother, after all, I am not very familiar with General Liang.Liang Ji raised his eyes to look at him, reached out and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, and then nodded towards Gao Chun: I'm not busy.His Royal Highness entrusts him to do so.Because of his personality, if he is not on official business on weekdays, Liang Ji rarely intersects with his colleagues, and over time, everyone knows his habits.Therefore, although he has the identity of the son of Taiwei and the trusted right middle general of the saint, the place where he is still quiet on such an occasion as today.Rong Yan sat beside him, drank half a cup of tea in silence, and wanted to turn his head to look at Liang Ji's face several times, but he forced himself to hold back.Liang Ji had no scruples.His gaze was fixed on Rong Yan's face, and his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to penetrate this skin and see into this person's soul.Rong Yan finally couldn't hold back his almost burning gaze, turned his head sideways and met Liang Ji's eyes, but no one spoke.Rong Yan avoided his gaze first, lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and the loneliness in his eyes flashed.In his previous life, he probably never imagined that one day he and Liang Ji would sit together like this, looking at each other speechlessly.Liang Ji is silent and introverted by nature, but he is very decisive in doing things, and he becomes trivial and thoughtful in the face of glory.In his previous life, since Rong Yan appeared, his life was divided into two, half of him was loyal to Longcheng, and the other half was guarding the innocence of the little proton.Rong Yan closed his eyes, and his mind was full of pictures of the two of them together.Tea spilled.The palm that had been warm suddenly stretched out and covered Rong Yan's hand, holding steady the tea cup that was about to overturn.The skin touched, but Rong Yan suddenly withdrew his hand as if he was burned, and the teacup immediately fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and the originally noisy room suddenly fell silent.Liang Ji quietly withdrew his hand and glanced at the little guy who was waiting on the side: I'm tired of cleaning up.Then he turned his gaze, glanced out of the door, and signaled to everyone: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!
The next moment, sure enough, a little guy entered to report.The crown prince Gao Chung did not come alone, the legendary princess who was inseparable from him also came to King Ji's mansion in the same carriage, and as soon as he entered the door, Princess Ji sent someone to respectfully invite him into the inner house, and Gao Chun was also personally welcomed into the door by Gao Chun.Rong Yan and Gao Chung were quite puzzled after seeing the ceremony, according to Gao Chung's temperament, it was already a face to be able to come to the banquet today, how could he bring the princess with him?
Half an hour later, he knew that the reason for this was the biological mother of the two princes, the Empress Zheng, who also arrived at the Ji Wangfu.The person who took over knelt in the courtyard, Empress Zheng got down from the phoenix, her eyes swept over everyone's heads, and finally fell on Gao Chun's face: Let's all be flat.Gao Chun stepped forward: The cold ground and the frozen ground came after the mother, and the son-in-law was really guilty.This palace is a grandmother, so she should come and take a look.As Empress Zheng spoke, she turned her head and glanced at Princess Chengyang, Yuan'er, who was following her.Princess Chengyang handed over the brocade box that she had been holding in her hand to Gao Chun, Gao Chun knelt down to thank her, Empress Zheng just nodded lightly, looked over him, and saw Gao Chung behind him: When you won't come today, let you take the princess with you, can you listen?
Gao Song stepped forward with a smile and enthusiastically held Empress Zheng's arm: How dare the son not listen to the words of the queen mother?
Empress Zheng showed a little smile on her face, patted Gao Chun's hand gently, and turned to Gao Chun again: I know that you have a lot of guests in the mansion today, so you don't need to accompany you here, let your imperial brother sit with me for a while, talk and go back.Gao Chun squeezed the box in his hand tightly, but there was no change on his face, and said respectfully: There are so many noisy people here, why don't you go to the back house to sit down?
Erchen just asked someone to bring the child to you to see.Empress Zheng glanced at him: Just find a clean place, your imperial brother is here, it is not good to enter your back house.As for the child, I haven't been feeling well in the past few days, so don't get sick for her.When the weather warms up in a few days, when the two of you take her into the palace to greet the saint, let's see together.It's good.Gao Chun smiled faintly, the weather is getting colder, and the queen mother should pay attention to her body.Well.Empress Zheng nodded, you can go and get busy.The retainers obeyed.Chapter 17 After Empress Zheng left, the silent crowd finally breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered and dispersed.Gao Chunwu stood in place, looking down at the brocade box in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.Liang Ji stood a few steps away, but his eyes kept looking at his side.Rong Yan didn't want to go back and be silent with him again, so he simply walked towards Gao Chun: His Royal Highness King Ji.Gao Chun raised his head, handed the brocade box in his hand to the steward behind him, and turned to Rong Yan with a warm smile: Why don't you go in?
Rong Yan casually glanced at his hand and shook his head: It's stuffy and noisy inside, so I want to ask Your Highness, is there a convenient place for me to relax in the house.It was my negligence!
Gao Chun's eyes circled around the courtyard, and he beckoned a little guy over and took the boy to the small garden.Rong Yan smiled and thanked him, passed by Liang Ji's side, glanced at him without changing his face, and walked towards the small garden behind the little guy.Passing through the front yard is a small garden, which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the front yard, and has not reached the inner house, which is indeed the most suitable place for honor at this moment.It's a pity that the time is not right, except for a few evergreen trees, full of gloom.There are many guests in King Ji's Mansion today, and the people in the palace are not idle for a moment, and the little guy will attract Rong Yan and leave in a hurry, Rong Yan is bored alone, stepping on the deep and shallow snow, and walking to the depths of the small garden.Although this garden is not big, there are all kinds of rockery pools, Rong Yan looked around while walking, and suddenly found a figure not far in front of him.Rong Yan walked closer with light steps, only to find that it was a half-grown teenager, squatting on the ground and rummaging the dirt next to the pool.Hush!
The young man suddenly turned around and made a stop gesture, looking up and down, this place is full of dirt, and I can't afford to pay for staining Childe's clothes.Rong Yan looked at the young man's big and round eyes, took a few steps closer, and leaned over to him to take a look: What are you doing?
Look for medicinal herbs.As the young man spoke, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he dug an extremely deep hole in the ground, ah, I found it!
Rong Yan looked at it, and there was a slender earthworm hanging on the wooden stick that the young man raised, and he couldn't help but take two steps back: You This is the young man glanced at him and put the earthworm into the crockpot in his hand: Haven't you seen the earth dragon?
If it weren't for the cure for Mr.
Sun's disease, I would not have come here to toss in this icy and snowy time.After spending too much time outside, the boy's hands were already red from the cold.Rong Yan glanced at it and handed over the sleeve stove that had been in his sleeve: warm your hands.The young man dropped the tools in his hand, wiped the mud on his hands with the snow by the pool, and then took the sleeve stove and nodded to Rongyan: Thank you!
I can't tell you're a doctor at such a young age.Rong Yan took a closer look at the mud hole again, and then squatted down next to the boy by the pool, what is your name?
Symphylla.The boy put his sleeve stove on his face, and I was a medicine picker.The gentleman of the pharmacy was invited by King Ji to see that Mr.
Sun, and the medicine boy he was with had something at home, and I was familiar with him, so I agreed to come over to help.Hearing the young man's name, Rong Yan's eyes flashed slightly: Yiren is a good name, so what is your surname?
Yiren picked up a stone and threw it into the frozen pool: I grew up in the mountains, and I have no father or mother, so naturally I don't have a surname.Are there no sisters and brothers?
Rong Yan said, at such a young age, there will always be people who will worry when you are alone outside.The movement in Yiren's hand paused, and he turned his head to look at Rong Yan: Then what is your name?
Rong Yan said softly: Rong Yan.Your surname is Rong?
Yiren raised his eyebrows slightly, no wonder.Do you know who I am?
Don't you know who I am?
Yiren handed the sleeve stove back to Rong Yan, lowered his head and picked up the tool that he had just thrown away, and continued to dig the dirt on the ground, Qi Ke is quite capable, I have hidden in this Ji Wangfu, he can still find me.He has already gone back, and before leaving, he entrusted me with Rong Yan pursing his lips slightly, if I meet you one day, I will take care of him in his face.I didn't expect that Longcheng was so big, and I really met it.For his sake?
Yiren snorted lightly, did he raise troops to rebel and force your whole family to death, and hurt you from a high-ranking prince to a proton under the fence?
When you met him, you didn't kill him with a sword, and promised to help him take care of me?
Rong Yan laughed lightly: My father killed your whole family, didn't you just push me into the lotus pond, little prince Qi Xu?
I don't call that name!
Yiren rolled his eyes and said as he dug into the soil.My mother died early, and Mrs.
Qi didn't want to see me, so she gave me to a Taoist priest in the mountains to raise me under the pretext that I was not in good health, and my name was not on the family tree.Yiren dug out another earthworm and put it in his own jar, so the Qi family was wiped out, and it had nothing to do with me.Your father killed them, and there was a surviving Zico to avenge them, what does it have to do with me.Speaking of this, Yiren glanced at Rong Yan: Speaking of which, it is really strange that Qi Ke is so cold-blooded that he didn't kill you.Not only did he not kill me, he saved my life.Rong Yan didn't care whether Yiren wanted to hear it or not, and said to himself, the capital fell that day, and I fled under the protection of the guards, and I happened to meet him leading his army to the capital.Some of his soldiers used to be on an errand in the palace, and they recognized me at a glance, so they naturally refused to let me go.At that time, the crowd was so angry that they wanted someone to come up and stab me with a sword to dispel the hatred in their hearts.In the end, it was Zico who stopped them and let me go.Yiren frowned, as if he didn't believe it very much: he didn't always work together with his soldiers, why did he suddenly be kind enough to save you?
On that day, your eldest brother Qi Dong disobeyed the holy decree because of the long-term war and injured the people, and refused to send troops to attack Xu, which angered my father and the emperor and was ordered to kill the Qi family.When my mother heard about it, she rushed to dissuade her, but he smashed her forehead with a paperweight and rushed back to the dormitory to confine herself to reflect.Rong Yan reached out and grabbed a handful of snow, the cold touch rescued him from the long memories of his previous life, although my mother still failed to save the Qi family, but Qi Ke still thanked her for her kindness, for the sake of my mother, let me live.Yiren was stunned, turned his head for a while, and said nonchalantly while digging: What are you telling me about this?
He saved your life, should I believe his hypocrisy?
I didn't have much contact with Zico, but I could see that he was a good man with clear grievances.Your Qi family has suffered a great disaster, and now only your two brothers have survived, and it is not hypocritical that he cares about you.Rong Yan stared at the young man in front of him, his tone was extremely patient, Longcheng was calm and peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the waves were treacherous and dangerous, especially if you didn't know the severity, you hid in this Ji Wangfu.If you've had enough, go back as soon as possible.Yiren touched the tip of his nose a little uncomfortably, leaving a mud mark: You are not a few years older than me, why do you have such a preachy tone?
I also have a younger brother born to my mother, and the royal flesh and blood affection will only be weaker than that of your Qi family.I didn't like him, he didn't want to come into contact with me, and we hardly saw each other except at forced family dinners.I even think that in a few years, as he gets older, he will probably fight with me for the throne at the instigation of others.Rong Yan lowered his head and looked at the pool in front of him, even though he hated it so much, I never thought of letting him die.The rebels invaded the imperial city, arrested all the nobles in the palace, and killed them one by one in front of my father, so as to force my father to hang himself.He was in front of him at the time, watching his mother's throat being choked by a sword, and he couldn't help crying because he was too scared, and was slashed by the impatient rebels with a sword, and the blood soaked my father's dragon robe.
