[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

When Xiao Jingyan returned to Prince Jing's mansion, he saw Yan Zhen standing on the porch talking to Xiao Youning, his heart softened, and he stopped.

When Xiao Youning saw Xiao Jingyan, he immediately ran over happily. Xiao Jingyan bent down and hugged her. She giggled, and he showed a smile he hadn't seen for a long time: "Ghost girl, it's a bit heavier. Well, it's also taller."

He turned his head and looked at Yan Zhen who was standing on the porch again, and said, "Why are you standing on the porch and blowing the air again? I still had a headache yesterday."

"I'm so bored in the room. I can't sit still. You're here. I have something to tell you. Ajiu, go and see your younger brothers and sisters for your mother." Yan Zhen pinched her fleshy With a small face, he touched her head lovingly.

Now Xiao Youning really likes the pair of dragon and phoenix twins. When he is free, he often takes Tingsheng Shu Hong to see his newborn siblings.

"it is good."

Xiao Youning got off Xiao Jingyan's body in a flash, and ran towards the inner court with Liu Li.

Yan Zhen laughed and scolded her for being unruly, Xiao Jingyan put his arm around her shoulder and said, "Our girl has good manners."

When Yan Zhen heard it, she didn't want to talk to him at all.

They came to the study room together, and Xiao Jingyan saw Langgan guarding outside, so he knew that Yan Zhen had something important to tell him.

Yan Zhen pulled and sat together, and took out the jade tablet representing the Dark King of Jiangbei from her bosom, with a basalt engraved on it, and she took out the witch hazel seal from her bosom.

He knew about the jade card of the Dark King of Jiangbei, and Yan Zhen never hid it from him, but it was the first time he had seen this witch hazel-shaped jade card.

"You keep this basalt card. Except for people in Jiangbei, no one recognizes this jade card. This piece of witch hazel was given to me by my grandmother, who said it was the influence of the queen mother in the palace." Yan Zhen went Xiao Jingyan pushed, "I know that mother is not weak and bully, but now your status is different, and the empress will naturally not treat her like before. Besides, according to Lin Lang's information, there are also old women in this palace. Princess Xuanji left people behind, but those people are in Xia Jiang's hands. You give this jade token to your mother."

Left by the Queen Mother?

Xiao Jingyan thought that Yan Zhen's grandmother was the queen mother's direct sister, and that before the queen mother died, Mrs. Yun also met the queen mother.

Mrs. Yun gave the jade tablet to her granddaughter, and Yan Zhen gave it to him.

His heart suddenly warmed up, and he stuffed the thing back into Yan Zhen's hand: "You can keep this thing. Mother, you can protect me and rest assured."

"Far water can't quench the near thirst. My mother is smarter than me, and she will definitely make good use of these people." Yan Zhen took his hand and placed it in his palm solemnly, "Besides, you and I both understand that once you come out , Xia Jiang will definitely not let you stand out so easily, let alone let you ascend the throne."

Yan Zhen held his face in her hands, and she looked at his eyebrows: "Xia Jiang will stop at nothing to pull you down. He may make a fuss about mother, me, or even Chi Yan's old case. At that time, you must hold your breath, Don't make trouble with them."

Xiao Jingyan helped her hand, a pair of big hands tightly wrapped around her hand, since she was born, she has always been his concern.

"Don't worry, Zhen, I promise you."

Yan Zhen knew that he promised a thousand dollars, just like when he went to the East China Sea to fight, he did not forget to look for the pearl of the pigeon egg that promised Lin Shu.

It's a pity that this pearl has been lying tightly in the deepest corner of the study drawer, never seeing the light of day.

Yan Zhen lowered her eyes and saw the Xiang Di Ji that Xiao Jingyan put on the case when she came in, she reached out to pick up the book: "Isn't this the book that Commander Meng mentioned? I got it back from my mother so soon. "

"Yeah. I always thought the book was kind of weird."

Xiao Jingyan's words caused Yan Zhen's eyebrows to twitch, and she frowned slightly: "How do you say it?"

"After my mother read this book, she reminded me several times to treat Mr. Su well. And Meng Zhi, who never loved books, also came to ask for it." Xiao Jingyan frowned as he looked at the book, "I asked him When borrowing a book, he was strange for a while. He seemed to care about this book very much."

Yan Zhen suspected that Mei Changsu had written something in the annotation that could represent his identity. Xiao Jingyan had always been careless in this regard and didn't notice it for a while, but as careful as Concubine Jing, he must have found out, and that's why he changed his attitude towards Mei Changsu. change.

Meng Zhi came to ask for the book, probably because of Mei Changsu's instruction, but he is really not a good candidate.

Yan Zhen feared that if this book was kept in Prince Jing's mansion, it would inevitably lead to long nights and dreams.

"Actually, it's not difficult to explain." Yan Zhen flipped through the book, pursed her lips, and said with a smile, "Mr. Su has a reputation as a unicorn, and he is very well-educated. I'm afraid my mother learned from Mr. Su's comments." I can see Mr.'s character. But you know that people who are cunning and conspiratorial have always been despised. And you are even more so. So I remind you that although you admire Mr., you still have prejudice against him Bar."

"I really do." Xiao Jingyan felt ashamed in his heart, even though Mei Changsu did his best for him, he still had very little trust in him in his heart.

"You're not good at maneuvering, but you still know the truth about hiring people without suspicion, and doubting people without using them." Yan Zhen sighed softly. In fact, Xiao Jingyan couldn't blame Xiao Jingyan for his prejudice against Mei Changsu.

His beloved elder brother Huang, his best friend, Lin Shuai whom he respected the most, and the [-] soldiers who died in Meiling unjustly were all killed by those treacherous people.

As long as Mei Changsu's identity is not revealed for a day, Xiao Jingyan will have doubts about him.

Mei Changsu said he would never let him know, but Yan Zhen understands that there is no impenetrable wall in this world, and one day, Xiao Jingyan will know.

If he treats Mei Changsu wrongly, he will spend forever in regret and guilt in the future, which is an unbearable burden in his life.

"I'm afraid this book is Mr. Su's favorite thing. Maybe the things written in the book are very interesting, and it's just for Commander Meng to pass the time of hiding from those princes and three teachers." Yan Zhen handed the book to Xiao Jingyan.

He nodded, called an attendant, and ordered: "Send someone to the Mansion of Commander Meng, and ask him to accept it."

Yan Zhen understands the current situation. Before Xiao Jingyan was crowned Prince, whether it was the harem, the court, or even Emperor Liang himself, they were all doing a narrow choice of one or the other.It seems that if you don’t choose the crown prince, you should choose Yuwang, and if you don’t choose Yuwang, you should choose the prince. Even if you don’t clearly express your support at this stage, one of those two will be on the throne sooner or later.

Under this kind of thinking pattern, when everyone saw Xiao Jingyan, who was originally on the second rank of the clan, wearing a five-piece dragon suit and a five-bead crown, standing in the court hall in a majestic manner, let everyone My eyes lit up.

Even the most insensitive to politics realized at that moment that a new regime had begun.

In fact, Xiao Jingyan at this time is not completely on par with King Yu. His crown still has two fewer beads than King Yu, but no matter what, they are the same first-rank prince after all. In the past, the gap between princes and county kings seemed to be easily bridged.

Many people understand this point, and I believe King Xu also understands it.

"King Yu is about to realize that Mr. Su is not his person anymore." Yan Zhen brought a glass of white water to Xiao Jingyan, "Qin Banwei in King Yu's hands is very skillful and witty, so it's not difficult to deal with. I'm afraid King Yu will still I can fool around, but this woman must not be underestimated. Let the subordinates be more distracted, and don't be fooled by the slippery woman."

Speaking of the Hua family, Xiao Jingyan remembered that when he just returned to Jinling, there was still the Hua family's detailed work in the mansion, and he asked, "The one in the Wang's mansion..."

"She is quite capable. It's a pity that Li Tingguang is a timid person who provoked the younger brother of Concubine Li, and Tao Yao cleaned it up in less than a few words. Nothing can be found under our noses. Moth." Yan Zhen had no feelings for Li Tingyu's marriage to Prince Jing's mansion, and Xiao Jingyan had never seen Xiao Jingyan except for the tea ceremony the day after she entered the house.

Now, I don't know what it looks like.

Xiao Jingyan had also heard about Li Tingguang's case. Recently, this matter has been overshadowed by the prince's matter. After all, it is also a big topic of discussion in Jinling.

He frowned, feeling very displeased in his heart: "Did she come to you begging for mercy?"

"That's not true. I don't know if I have been here. I have obeyed your orders for the past two days, and I have been cultivating well."

Xiao Jingyan tugged at her smooth and tender face: "It's really cheap and good-looking."

Because of the mourning period, the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet will not be held again.

Xiao Jingyan is free these days, spending time with his wife and children at home.

He carried the eldest son in his arms, and the child's facial features gradually unfolded, more and more like him, but the eyes were very similar to Yan Zhen, when he smiled, his brows and eyes curved like stars.

Xiao Jingyan's arms are strong, and he always picks up the two children and puts them on his lap at once, loving them so much.

The days in Prince Jing's mansion were peaceful, but a major event happened in the court.

After the Frost's Descent, the statistical chronology of this year's autumn harvest in various places has been delivered to the imperial court one after another.

Due to the drought in spring and summer this year, several state capitals have reported the disaster situation early, and some places even suffered locust plagues in the fall, resulting in no crops, and hungry people wandering around begging for food. The situation is very serious.

In order to gain fame, Yu Wang donated another 3 taels of silver to the people in the name of reducing the government's expenses in addition to the food and silver provided by the household department for disaster relief, which won a lot of praise.

Originally, Prince Jing's family was not rich, and he raised a large group of orphans in the army, and Concubine Jing in the palace was unable to help, so this generosity did not appear to be obvious, and it paled in comparison for a while.

And Xiao Jingyan would not have made a fuss about these places in the first place.

He didn't intend to intervene in the disaster relief.

Until Shen Zhui, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, came to visit.

Shen Zhui had been here a few times before, and Xiao Jingyan and his wife were the ones who received him, so this time it was no surprise.

Shen Zhui knew that Prince Jing and his wife were very affectionate, and that Yan Zhen also had a lot of political achievements in Qingzhou and Ningzhou, so he told Prince Jing and his wife about the disaster relief without hesitation. He asked Xiao Jingyan to fight for all matters related to disaster relief. Put it in Yu Wang's hand.

Otherwise, the people will all suffer.

"This matter, my lord can't compete with Yu Wang." Yan Zhen said flatly, and she smiled and poured tea for Shen Zhui, "But Mr. Shen, don't worry too much. Your lord doesn't have to compete with Yu Wang , because King Yu may not be able to go to the disaster relief this time."

"Oh?" Shen Zhui's eyes lit up when he heard this sentence, "What does the princess mean by that?"

"In previous years, the magistrate of the disaster-stricken area would give gifts to the crown prince or the king of honor for disaster relief. Why is it that he can fill his own pockets with the disaster money?" Yan Zhen added another white water to Xiao Jingyan, "These things in previous years just didn't come to the fore. However, This time I heard that there was a big case of robbing and killing a bodyguard team in Fuzhou, which alarmed the Ministry of Criminal Investigation to send personnel to investigate, is there such a thing?"

"I heard Cai Quan talk about this again." Xiao Jingyan remembered the incident, and when Yan Zhen mentioned it again, he understood, "Which disaster area gave a gift to Brother Yu Wang?"

Yan Zhen said with a smile that shocked the two people present: "Yuezhou."

"What?" Hearing Yuezhou, Shen Zhui almost jumped up.

Xiao Jingyan's face darkened, and his sword eyebrows twitched: "Yuezhou is one of the most disaster-hit states this year. While waiting for the relief from the court, people have already starved to death. There is still money to give gifts to King Yu. This is all something?"

Shen Zhui was angry at first, and then understood Yan Zhen's meaning: "But the good thing now is that Lao Cai will definitely tell His Majesty about all this. Although His Majesty clearly accused King Yu, he let him avoid suspicion and not intervene in disaster relief. For this matter, His Highness Prince Jing was reassigned."

"Master Shen has worked hard for the country and the people, so why don't you stay and eat." Yan Zhen changed the subject lightly, trying not to make the atmosphere in the study heavy and oppressive.
