humble minister

Lian Ying, who had finally found the way and was on his way back to his home, was thinking secretly as he walked, who were the two people he met just now?

That little girl should be the emperor's only daughter—the seventh princess, Shi Minrong. Isn't that cold, paralyzed face whom she called Fifth Brother Shi Yu the fifth prince Shi Yu that Shi Xiang and Xiao Lang talked about?It turns out that real people look like this~

It must have been that domineering little girl who dragged his brother out to play, so it can be seen that the fifth prince really loves his sister~

Lian Ying thought for a while and took a quick glance at the man's face. He had to say that it was indeed a very handsome and manly face. This person's whole body is covered with an admirable noble aura, no, to be more precise... In fact, this aura is more similar to the submissive... imperial aura.

In this way, it seems that Xiao Lang's guess is not unreasonable.

"However, these have nothing to do with me~" Lian Ying looked up at the majestic Prime Minister's Mansion in front of him and said with a sigh of relief.

He stepped forward and knocked on the door, and when the door opened, a servant was stunned when he saw a refined young man standing in front of him, and it took him a long time to recognize who this person was, but even if he recognized him, he He just got out of the way: "It turns out that the young master is back, please come in, young master."

This time people called "Young Master" instead of "Young Master", and the attitude towards the master who had just returned after a long time was respectful, but not much, let alone the so-called enthusiasm, which shows that Lian Ying's status is in the middle How embarrassing is this prime minister's mansion.

"Well, is father at home?" Lian Ying didn't care about his performance, as if he was used to it.

"Master just came back from the palace." The servant replied with a blank expression.

"Well, I see, you go and tell your father 'I'm back', and tell him that I'm going to my sister's place first." Lian Ying walked away after finishing speaking.He knew that no matter how embarrassing his status was, but after all, he was the son of Prime Minister Duanmu Liang, and these servants would still obey what he said.

When he was still some distance away from his sister's wing, Lian Ying stopped in his tracks, because he had already seen Duanmu Xiwei who was sitting on the gazebo in the lake and feeding fish leisurely.

"I thought I would have to walk a long way to see my sister, but I never thought I would see her here." Lian Ying smiled and walked behind the stunning beauty leaning on the railing, while covering her face, her water was bright and beautiful. With charming eyes, he teased with a smile.

"You, are you crazy enough to be outside these few years?" The pretty beauty patted the hand covering her eyes with feigned anger, but her words were full of smiles and the joy of reunion.

She pulled Lian Ying's hand off, turned around and dragged Lian Ying in front of her, looked up and down, back and forth several times, and said with a sigh of relief: "I've grown tall outside these few years. Quite a lot, but why is your body still so thin? Did you take good care of yourself? What did you suffer? I don’t know how to write letters to my sister, report your safety, etc. I don’t know if my sister is worried about you?"

"Hey, my good sister~" Lian Yingfan took Duanmu Xiwei's hand and sat beside her, "I have experienced a lot outside in the past few years, so my sister must not believe it if she said that she has never suffered. It's just that I learned a lot and learned a lot because of it. And I'm already seventeen now, how can I not take care of myself? But my sister... In a blink of an eye, my sister is going to get married, so it's strange that I am a little brother accustomed."

"You also said that you are seventeen, and I am only a few months older than you. If I don't get married, I will really be an old girl. Besides, this marriage... this marriage was also agreed by my sister...don't try to comfort me What." Duanmu Xiwei interrupted what Lian Ying was about to say, and continued, "Bai Lang has analyzed what you want to say with me earlier, and I can understand it even if you don't say it, but I know that Duanmu's family is now It has reached the point where riding a tiger is difficult, and the only way to preserve it is to follow the emperor's wishes. If I can preserve the entire Duanmu family by myself, it would be worth it. Besides, the prince is not a jackal or leopard, and his conduct is good. You Are you still worried that your sister will be bullied when I marry her?"

Hey, it seems that everyone has a high degree of agreement on the prince!

But what my sister said is right, who can bully her?

I didn't expect that the three big men were discussing and discussing there, and they couldn't see it as thoroughly as my sister. How can they choose this situation now? The four words "riding a tiger is hard to get off" have long been clarified, and now Duanmu's family has to marry a daughter to the prince whether she is married or not!

After marrying, the Duanmu family will be bound together with the prince, including the Jiang family, success or failure depends entirely on the prince alone, if he doesn't marry, he may suffer the wrath of the emperor right away.

It's really a good "riding a tiger is hard to get off"!

"By the way, you should stay at home for a while when you come back this time, and don't rush out to travel." Duanmu Xiwei said forcefully.

"Don't sister know why I'm traveling?" Lian Ying smiled wryly, he knew that he shouldn't complain to his sister about this, but in this huge Prime Minister's Mansion, the only one who treats him sincerely is my sister.

"I don't know. One is that you want to learn more, and the other is my mother..." Duanmu Xiwei also frowned at this point, and then let go, "But don't worry, my mother has been here for a few years. I also figured it out, and I can accept you. If she accepts you, Dad will naturally accept you openly. Don't blame Dad, he still loves you sincerely, but after all, he owes his mother first and feels guilty. , so it’s hard to take care of you. And my mother... she was a little cold to you earlier, but you also know that my mother has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart, and she doesn’t feel good when she is cold to you. She just said it out of face Can't come out. Fortunately, these two have figured it out now, and you don't want to treat yourself as an outsider of Duanmu's family anymore, from now on, you are Duanmu Lianying."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Duanmu Xiwei thought that he didn't believe him, and felt sorry for him but at the same time he was a little anxious: "Don't think that my sister is lying to you, daddy said, you will announce your identity to everyone at the engagement banquet, don't you In order to take everyone's feelings into consideration, you left like a few years ago! You don't know that after you left, your mother would regret it, and your father would be very worried. He asked for information about you but couldn't find it. If it wasn't for my sister getting married Are you still not ready to come back? Fortunately, I saw your jade card a few days ago and guessed that you should not be far from the capital, and Prince Xiang said that he contacted you, otherwise I would have to worry about it for a while!"

Look, this is the difference in IQ. When Shi Xiang saw the jade card, he thought that he was in danger, but his sister could guess that he was not far from the capital. Why is Pian Pian, who is known as one of the four sons, not as good as him? A family with a daughter?

It's really my sister who is so smart!It's a pity that she is a daughter~

"I believe what my sister said, but I don't want my father to reveal my existence to the world." Lian Ying looked at his worried sister and said seriously, "It's always wrong to tell my life experience at your engagement banquet. Something is wrong, not to mention whether others will laugh at it, but it is a shame and a joke to say it. What's more, I prefer to stay in the dark, it is good for me or for Duanmu's family... "

Duanmu Xiwei's eyes darkened when he heard this, her younger brother has always been extremely smart, but he thought about it when he didn't think of it, and this consideration can be regarded as a retreat for the Duanmu family.

"Okay, my sister understands your thinking now, and my sister will tell my father. It's just that you don't call me 'father' and 'mother' anymore, just call me father and mother, so as not to cause trouble."

"Yes, yes, it's all up to my sister." Lian Ying smiled and responded nicely.

"At this time, I listened to your sister's words. Why didn't you listen to your sister's opinion when you decided to leave a few years ago?" The siblings were chatting. The voice cut in.

Lian Ying turned around, as expected, it was the prime minister, his own father - Duan Muliang.

Duanmuliang is now in his early forties, but he is well maintained, even now he looks like a handsome man.

He came to his son, looked at it carefully for a long time, then stretched out his hand to touch the top of his son's head, and said helplessly, "I, the father, have owed you the past ten years. You too, and your... Like the mother who left earlier, she has a stubborn temper and left as soon as she said she would leave, regardless of whether anyone will worry about you. You have been weak since you were young, and you have been away for several years. Your father worried about you, and your sister also worried about you. As for Mingrou, she didn't say anything, and secretly wiped away a lot of tears, but fortunately she came back safely this time, so don't leave without saying a word next time."

"Yes, Father... Father." Lian Ying lowered his eyes. He had never dared to think about such a moment before. If he had known that his father loved him too, mother... well, mother, she didn't even think about it. If you are so strict, maybe I would not have left a few years ago, at least not so simply.

"Then, Dad, about my identity..." Even though he knew that Dad had fully accepted him, he still couldn't directly raise some demands.

Hey, after all, after more than ten years of getting along like that, there will always be estrangement.

"I heard what you just talked about, and I will agree to Lian Ying's opinion, but this is still wronging you, child." After speaking, Duan Muliang's expression darkened, and his stroking of Lian Ying's head became more gentle.

"As long as father and mother accept me, I won't feel wronged, and I hope father will never take it to heart." Lian Ying said with a look of admiration.

"Well, it's good if you can feel relieved." Duanmuliang nodded in relief, and continued, "You just came back, so don't just be tired of your sister. Mingrou is thin-skinned, waiting for you in your room now, and you Let her go and talk, so you can get rid of the knot between you and each other earlier, and we will be a family in the future."

"In a few days, your sister's engagement banquet will be held. At that time, the emperor will officially announce the marriage between Xiwei and the crown prince. You will be there at that time. Take advantage of this time to choose the style of the dress you like. It’s decided to give it to the people under him to buy. It’s just that Dad is busy with your sister’s marriage these days, so I’m afraid he won’t be able to spend more time with you. If he’s free, he’ll talk to your mother or sister. If he’s really bored, he’ll go out for a walk. , don't embarrass yourself anymore."

"Yes, thank you for your understanding!" Lian Ying smiled, but Duan Muliang, a loyal minister of a generation, actually blushed and went away embarrassingly.

Hey, Dad is actually quite cute too~

Lian Ying thought in his heart, so far most of his knots have been completely resolved.
