[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

"Da Yu sent [-] soldiers across the border to raid, and Dagon Prefecture fell!"

"Shangyang's army was defeated, Hezhou and Xuzhou fell, Hanzhou was besieged, weeping for help!"

"The East China Sea Navy invaded the coastal states and plundered the population and wealth. The local government is unable to control the situation. Please help!"

"Beiyan's [-] iron cavalry have broken through the Yinshan Pass, entered the Hetao, and are approaching Tanzhou. Urgent!"

"Yeqin rebelled, the local governor was killed, please send troops to suppress it!"

A whole stack of emergency documents was pressed on Xiao Jingyan's desk like a hill, and there were still many battle reports on the way to be transmitted, each letter declaring the deterioration of the situation.The three neighboring countries attacked almost at the same time, and there was a rebellion in the territory. Even if it happened in the heyday of Daliang, it would be a great crisis, not to mention that Daliang was already on the decline at this time, especially when King Qi After trying to improve but failed, the corruption of government affairs and the disuse of armaments became more and more serious. Although Xiao Jingyan has made great efforts to rectify the situation in the past year, it has slightly improved, but the decades-old weakness cannot be cured overnight.Now facing the division of tigers and wolves, if there is no good strategy to resist and fight to the death, I am afraid that the country will be incomplete, the country will be precarious, and the people will suffer from the disaster of losing their homeland.

"Your Highness, in addition to the garrisons that must be kept for security in various places, the mobilizable troops have been counted, a total of 17, including [-] Taiwan troops and [-] garrison troops. In addition, the southern and western borders..."

"Neither the southern border nor the western border army can move. Firstly, it will be laborious to move troops far away, which will wear down the combat power. Far water can't save the nearby fire. Second, Da Chu and Xi Li are not just watching the fun. We must maintain deterrence." Xiao Jingyan said. Taking the memorial from Li Lin, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, he quickly looked at the distribution of these troops, "Needless to say, the Xingtai Army, how about the equipment of the [-] garrison troops?"

"It's not bad. About 2 people don't have enough armor. But the Ministry of War still has stocks, and it will be ready soon."

"What about money and food?"

"In times of crisis, I will try my best to raise funds," Shen Zhui said immediately, "I have already thought of several proper fundraising methods, and as long as His Highness agrees, I will be responsible for implementing them."

"There's no need to go into details, yes. You should hurry up." Xiao Jingyan clenched the folded newspaper in his hand and repeated it in a murmur. "17...what do you military lords think?"

What he said was obviously aimed at the several high-ranking military officials who were summoned to discuss the matter.These people looked at each other for a while, unable to speak for a moment.In the end, it was Duke Heng who murmured and said: "Your Highness, the ministers are still in charge... It is better to send people to discuss it first..."

"Major peace?" Nihuang sneered a few times, "Generally speaking, civil servants are the main peace, and military generals are the main battle. Why are we on the opposite side? The flames of war are almost burning across the river, but it is the civil servants who lead the battle. All the military lords and masters?"

"Princess, Mr. Liu, Mr. Shen, and their opinions are of course also for the country and the people, but they are a little bit uncomfortable when they stand and talk. It's not that the ministers are timid to fight, but there are only 17, and they have to deal with Dayu, Donghai, Beiyan, Ye Qin... is really short of troops..."

"There is no shortage of troops, the shortage is the commander." Xiao Jingyan said coldly.

At this time, the guards came to report, and Duke Yun came.

Duke Yun, Yun Rendong is a famous general of Daliang. Long before Chi Yan's coach Lin Xie became famous, he had already been hailed as Daliang's defense line.

It's just that it has been 20 years since he begged for bones, and he himself is nearly 80 years old.

Xiao Jingyan hurriedly got up to meet this respected old gentleman.

"Veteran Yun Rendong kowtows to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Jingyan quickly helped him up: "Why is grandfather here?"

Xiao Jingyan is Yun Rendong's grandson-in-law. Although he doesn't have much contact with him, he still respects this old man very much in his bones.

"The old minister came here to invite himself to fight."

Duke Yun's voice was sonorous and powerful, with the aura of a general in the past. He glanced at the cowering military lords and sneered: "The famous general Lian Po still has the heart to serve the country, and he can fight in armor. Although the old man Even if you are not talented, you dare to compare yourself to Lian Po, and go into battle in armor. It's just that His Royal Highness needs to sit in Jinling, so you must not think of conquering yourself."

"That's right, Your Highness." After racking his brains, Cai Quan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The old Chi Yan generals who have been reinstated are worthy of reuse, although... it is a bit... er... but The country is in crisis, and it is imperative for them to follow the authority..."

The old general Chiyan represents the military system and general policy of King Qi's era. In peacetime, high-ranking military officials will definitely try to hinder the promotion of these people's status, but now it is wartime, and the flames are approaching. If they are willing to go to the front for a bloody battle, of course they strongly support it.

Hearing this proposal, Xiao Jingyan pondered for a moment.With the situation in the country like this, it is of course impossible for Chi Yan's old generals to stay out of it. He had thought about this a long time ago.

But among Chi Yan's coaches, only Nie Feng can be alone.However, he has a problem with his voice, so it will be inconvenient to direct.When the others thought about it, it was enough to be a general, but they were not yet qualified for the duties of a coach.

Xiao Jingyan kept Nihuang and Yun Guogong behind, and he really couldn't see the rest of the military.

After a while, Mei Changsu came, and the four of them analyzed the battle situation.

The news of Duke Yun's personal conquest reached Zhiluo Palace.

Yan Zhen was talking with Concubine Jing, she was silent for a while when she heard the news, and swallowed her sigh.

"Ah Zhen, you shouldn't think too much when you're pregnant with a child. Yunguo's soldiers are like gods. This time he's going on an expedition to the East China Sea, he's just serving as a military adviser. There's no need to charge and kill the enemy." Concubine Jing comforted Yan Zhen.

Yan Zhen lowered her eyes faintly, remembering that when she was young, her mother was still there, she was hugged by her grandfather on his lap, and he heard him looking at the distant sky and muttering: "As a soldier, the horse leather shroud is my destination. In Jinling City The days of retirement here are too difficult."

At that time, she didn't know what a shroud of horse leather was, so she asked Xiao Jingyan, but he didn't understand either, so the two of them went to ask Xiao Jingyu together to find out the answer.

Grandfather is old, but like Lian Po recorded in the history books, he has been waiting for the emperor to use him. Lian Po died without waiting for Zhao Wang to return to use, leaving only one sentence: Lian Po is old and can still eat.

It may be a blessing for him that his grandfather was reused when he was nearly eighty years old, but Yan Zhen couldn't be happier.

In addition, the fact that Mei Changsu followed Meng Zhi to the northern border also worried Xiao Jingyan.

After all, I saw with my own eyes that after my friend took the bipolar pill, he struggled painfully and came back from the brink of death. After 13 years of farewell, he had to experience another life and death.

Mei Changsu never had such sentimental feelings as Xiao Jingyan, he directly dragged Lin Chen, packed Fei Liu, and brought Jing Rui Yujin along the way, and went to the northern border to fight against the enemy.

These things hadn't happened before, so Lin Chen thought beautifully about how to take Mei Changsu and Xiao Feiliu to go sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, and he had already thought out the route.

First go to Fuxian Lake in Huozhou to taste fairy dew tea, stay for two days and go to Master Qin’s place to eat vegetarian food, cultivate your body and mind for half a month, then walk along the Tuojiang River and visit Xiaoling Gorge. There is a Buddha’s light on the mountain there. , and then went to Fengqigou to see monkeys. They hadn’t seen Weiming, Zhusha, and Qinglin for a long time.Go get two jars before going back to Langya Mountain...

As a result... go to a place like the northern border where birds don't shit.

"Hey, hey, you're going to the north to die, why did you take me with you. I, Lin Chen, are the only seedlings in our Lin family lineage, if it breaks, my old man will cry to death." Lin Chen faced This matter is simply frustrating, "Who else will allow you to go to the battlefield. Don't think you are all right, Mei Changsu. The bipolar pill is a rare poison in the world, if it wasn't for the poison of fire and cold in your body to suppress it , and in turn suppressed by it, to achieve a delicate balance, once this balance is broken..."

"That's why I took you with me." Mei Changsu replied confidently, quite like Lin Shu who was spoiled by Jinling City back then.

"Hey, you heartless guy..." Lin Chen pointed at the innocent guy in front of him, speechless with anger.

He turned around and left, and Mei Changsu who was standing behind shouted, "What are you doing?"

"The recruiting office outside is probably not closed yet. I'll go sign up," Lin Chen just paused and said angrily without looking back, "Master Mei, please remember to call me to be a personal soldier when the time comes."

Mei Changsu couldn't help laughing when he saw Lin Chen walking in like a gust of wind. He closed his eyes and felt that the wind in Jinling City was different from when he was young.

His brows were stained with pride, like the sharp edge of a sword, shimmering and agitated.

Let him be Lin Shu for the last time and say goodbye. From now on, he will be just Mei Changsu.

One day later, the cabinet issued a decree, ordering Nie Feng to lead an army of [-] to fight against the Northern Yan cavalry; Langgan, who had restored his real name, led an army of [-] to the East China Sea, and his military adviser was Yun Rendong, the Duke of Yun, who was not well-known.In the same decree, Mei Changsu, the well-known white-clothed guest in the imperial capital, was also exceptionally appointed as the supervising army holding amulets, holding the prince's jade card, and went out with Meng Zhi.

The next day, the senior generals of the two reinforcements bid farewell to Emperor Que and set off in armor.The prince and his wife stood on the majestic city wall and looked at the relatives and friends who went to war. They only hoped that the war would end soon so that they could sit together and have a good time.

At the end of the winter of the sixth year of Daliang Yuanyou, Beiyan was defeated in three battles and returned to its homeland. Dayu lost [-] troops.Meng Zhi's troops merged with the defeated Shangyang Army, reorganized, renamed Changlin Army, and stationed in the northern defense line.In this battle, many young officers stood out and became reserve talents that could be vigorously cultivated.Xiao Jingyan and Yan Yujin both received military merits, but the former did not receive the reward due to his family background.

For the people, courtiers, and royal family, this is a complete victory. The barbarians have retreated, the border defenses are stable, the improvement of government and military affairs in the court is advancing rapidly, and the destroyed homes of the state capitals are slowly being rebuilt.

Yan Zhen, who has been promoted to the crown princess, has been pregnant for several months and has been unable to give birth. Finally, when the great victory was introduced to Jinling, she gave birth to a baby boy.

Most of the jubilant people seem to have overlooked the losses that should be mourned in the atmosphere of celebration.

But Xiao Jingyan did not forget that he spent sleepless nights in a plain room in the East Palace copying the names of those who died in this battle, starting from the lowest-ranking soldiers, and writing carefully.

That day, after he finished copying, he went to sleep in Changxin Hall, and found that Yan Zhen was still awake, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Alang's full moon will be in a few days. Will he and Nihuang come back in time?" After Yan Zhen gave birth, her spirit was often weak, and she often worried about some things for no reason.

Xiao Jingyan smiled and pinched her face: "Xiaoshu wrote me a letter, saying that she had chosen a gift there and brought it to Alang."

"What gift is there in the northern border? It's a barren land."

"With his kid's character of teasing people before, maybe he brought a stone here?"

"It also……"

The wind blew the octagonal palace lanterns in the East Palace, and their words were scattered in the wind.

The war has stopped, and a new court situation has begun. Everyone in Jinling has hope for tomorrow.

But for the group of them who have gone through the ups and downs of the 13 years, the long wait, parting and parting, there is nothing better than everyone being here.

Spoiler

In the autumn of the seventh year of Yuanyou, Emperor Liang died.After observing the filial piety period for one month, Xiao Jingyan formally ascended the throne, enshrining his birth mother, Concubine Jing, as the empress dowager, and making the concubine Yanshi the empress.

Tingsheng was adopted as a adopted son and given the surname of the country.Shu Hong and Lu Yuan were accepted as students, they were disciples of the Son of Heaven, they had invited famous scholars to guide them carefully, and because these three were disciples of the Empress, they were often able to go in and out of the palace to greet the Empress Dowager and the Empress.

Mei Changsu married Nihuang in the summer of the seventh year of Yuanyou, and kept his promise to Yan Zhen to become Xiao Youxu's teacher, and was named Taifu.

The long-lived Gao Zhan still holds the title of Chief of the Six Palaces, but now the Empress Dowager has allowed him to retire, and he can live freely in the palace without being enslaved.Gao Zhan likes Yan Zhen's lovely princes and princesses very much, and often visits them in the queen's palace.

Daliang seems to have entered a very peaceful situation.

It wasn't until the filial piety period passed that something happened to Daliang.

That is, someone discovered that in Xiao Jingyan's harem, there was a queen who had been titled in the main palace, and there were only two side concubines who had followed up from the mansion and hadn't been sealed up to now. Hysteria.

Compared with the blooming flowers in the previous palace, the new palace is simply eclipsed.

Some ministers submitted memorials one after another, hoping that Xiao Jingyan would fill the harem, and more hoped that his daughter could go to the palace to gain a future.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When the harem was filled for the first time, the new emperor agreed with a sullen face under the repeated attacks of various people, but the queen seemed much calmer about it, what should she do.

After a few years, even Yan Yujin was the father of two children, and the only children in the harem were the four children born to the empress.The rest of the concubines didn't even have one.

Just when they wondered whether it was the concubines who had a problem, or... cough cough cough... This is really not what they should talk about as courtiers.

However, just when they were so curious that their claws scratched their hearts, a news came from the palace that the queen was pregnant.

After hearing the news, Nihuang brought her eldest son Lin Yi into the palace to visit. Lin Yi is four years old and one year younger than Xiao Yousheng. Yan Zhen is already 33 years old when she is pregnant with this child.

But she still looks like Erba, but she has a mature charm of being a mother.

When Lin Yi came, Xiao Yousheng naturally played with him, just like Xiao Jingyan and Lin Shu back then.

"Why didn't Ah Jue come?" Mei Que is the second child of Mei Changsu and Nihuang, a girl who was born in midsummer two years ago. For plum.

"Brought to play by Qing'er." Nihuang is one year older than Yan Zhen, but she has lived a happy life in recent years, and her normally vigorous face has become more and more charming.

Yan Zhen nodded, looked at the two children playing outside, and smiled: "Both of them have personalities like their father. Ah Lang, his temper is as straightforward as a little buffalo. Ajiu used to get him into trouble , and now I have to be preached by Alan in turn."

Nihuang laughed: "Elder brother often said that too. Ah Jiu's lively temperament is like Yujin, Ah Qi is smart, steady and introverted like you, and Ah Qi is calm and relaxed like the Queen Mother. Only A Lang can make His Majesty Lao Huai comforted me."

Yan Zhen stroked her belly, which had not yet appeared, and smiled with her lips pursed: "I don't know who this child looks like?"

"The left and right are either like your majesty or your empress. By the way, the ministers are talking about the harem recently. It has been three years since the harem was sealed off, but the concubines in the harem have no children..." Although Nihuang was also a little curious, she was after all As a married woman, she was a little embarrassed to mention the affairs of the palace.

Yan Zhen also talked about this, and she didn't know what the ministers were talking about in private, but she didn't expect that they would think so outrageously. No wonder Jingyan would...

She's a little ashamed now thinking about it.

Yan Zhen coughed, and said calmly: "There are some things that you don't know about Nihuang. Jingyan has always hated the intrigues in the harem, and they are twisted and twisted. When the harem was filled, he was reluctant Yes. So he has never been to any of those harem concubines. So the descendants..."

The conversation between Yanzhen and Nihuang that day was spread out for some reason.

Since then, everyone has realized that sending their daughter into the palace will only make her a widow, so no one in the court has mentioned the theory of filling the harem again.

The following year, the queen gave birth to the third prince, named Xiao Youzhao.

However, this will not be her last child.

Life and death Qi Kuo

In the summer of the seventh year of Yuanyou, before the old emperor died, a major event ushered in the city of Jinling.

The master of Nihuang County, who has been in her boudoir for many years, is married. The person who married her is Mei Changsu, the suzerain of the Jiangzuo League and the number one talented scholar in the world with the status of guest minister.

Both of them are dragons and phoenixes among the people, one civil and one martial arts, and the prince and his wife are matchmakers, so they are a very good match.

Nihuang came to the East Palace for the last time before her marriage, and the inner courtyard she walked to coincided with Mei Changsu talking to Xiao Jingyan in Changxin Palace, so she didn't run into him.

"You two seem to have made an appointment, why are you here today?" Yan Zhen went to Mu Wangfu to find Mu Qing two days ago, and planned Nihuang's wedding with him.

Nihuang gave Yan Zhen the list of dowry specifications, and Yan Zhen glanced at it and asked, "What's the matter, what's missing, I'll add it for you."

Nihuang laughed: "Where is it missing? The specifications of the dowry list you drew up for me are all counted as that of a princess who is a descendant. This is not in compliance with the regulations."

Yan Zhen hugged the seven-month-old Xiao Yousheng, and seeing him stretch out his fat little hand to grab the gift list, she quickly grabbed his hand and patted his little butt: "Regulations? You don't have to worry about this, the Minister of Rites is Master Liu Cheng's younger brother is also Yan's in-law. Father has already greeted him. As expected of the Minister of Rites, he is reasonable."

Nihuang couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this: "Have you forgotten how the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites fell?"

"Don't worry, no one except you knows that this gift list is beyond the rules. My place is pretty good. For this grand wedding, Jingyan is trying to figure out a way. You and Brother Xiaoshu have been wasting for so many years, and it's finally easy to get together. Together. Could it be that the wedding is not allowed to be bigger." Yan Zhen told Nihuang not to worry, "I mean, although brother Xiaoshu pushed back the military achievements this time, everyone still knows .You have made many achievements, so what if you have a grand wedding, Jingyan is there anyway. Speaking of which, we don’t have much time to prepare, the important thing is, the father may not be there for a few months.”

"Ah?" The last time Nihuang saw Emperor Liang was at the birthday banquet. At that time, his gray hair was in good spirits, and it has only been a year since he reached this level. "So fast?"

"Isn't it? You also have to hurry up. If you hit Guoxiao, you will have to wait another three years."

A few words from Yan Zhen made Nihuang feel at ease. On Xiao Jingyan's side, Mei Changsu seemed to have returned to the scene where he was called Xiao Jingyan's buffalo. No matter what he said, Xiao Jingyan still acted according to his own ideas.

After talking too much, Xiao Jingyan gave him an impatient sideways glance and said, "If you have the ability, why don't you marry me?"

Mei Changsu was speechless.

not to marry?How can it be!

With the strong support of the prince and his wife, the grand wedding was held as scheduled.

June [-]th: Advisable: Marriage, engagement, engagement, travel; Avoid: Breaking ground.

The people of Jinling once again felt what is called ten miles of red makeup, and the crown covers the capital.

Dozens of miles of red makeup.Carriages lined up from the street to the end of the street in an orderly manner. Countless red ribbons were tied to the trees all over the city. Stretch your head and explore your brain to watch the wedding.

Golden chariots and jade wheels, green horses wandering around, and gold saddles with tassels.

Mei Changsu, dressed in fresh clothes, greeted his bride with anger. For a long time, he had always dreamed in his heart that there would be a day when he would marry his beloved little princess, and their love was unquestionable, just like Xiao Jingyan and Yan Zhen, No, maybe better than them.

Mei Changsu looked at the red silk on the horse's head and smiled slightly. From then on, he was just Lin Shu of Nihuang.

The prince and his wife stood on the Yingfeng Tower where the Nihuang martial arts contest was held to recruit relatives, silently watching the wedding that was 13 years late.

Holding the glowing red Fuguo in her hand, Nihuang pursed her lips and smiled slightly under the red hijab, and Yale wafted to her ears.

It's Beifeng Drumming.

Drumming and boring, enthusiastically use soldiers.Soil country city canal, I alone southbound.

From Sun Tzu Zhong, Ping Chen and Song.I don't want to go home, I'm worried.

爰居爰处?Yuan mourning his horse?In Yiqiu?Under the forest.

The life and death agreement is broad, and Zicheng said. Hold your hand and grow old together.

Yu Bo is broad, but I am not alive.Yu Wei Xun Xi, I don't believe in Xi.

From now on, she will live in the same quilt and die in the same hole; she and her brother Lin Shu will never be separated again.

There is no such voice in Fanwai Hometown

Xiao Jingyan was seldom afraid of anything since he was a child, which naturally has something to do with his upright posture.Since becoming an emperor, he has worked hard and conscientiously, and has rarely been distracted by fear.

Until one day he fell into a dream, a dream that made him tremble and fear to collapse.

Like a young flying insect, he fell into a huge spider web and watched his happiness be disintegrated by the dream.

His life seemed to be repeated all over again. Similarly, because of the Chiyan case, his life was full of splendor at the age of 19, and there was only one way to lead to loneliness but enough glory and glory in his life after that.

And there is no Yan Zhen on this road, who accompanied him through the lonely years, understood his loneliness and perseverance, accompanied him in the middle of the night, missed his wise and gentle brother and his fiery best friend, and gave birth to him. A father knows his wife best.

The girl who had been held in his hands since birth, cared for carefully, and waited for her to grow up wholeheartedly.

He had fought everywhere, holding the peace of her hand in his hand, just to fight for her to be a prince and concubine before she married him.His most beloved girl grew up in the Hou's mansion like jewels and treasures, so how could she be willing to bow down among the other sisters-in-law?

She is his heart, and if she is lost, he doesn't even have the right to suffer.

At first, he looked for her like crazy, trying to find the peace in his heart from her gentle and caring eyes.

But he couldn't do anything, he was like another bystander bound in the body named Xiao Jingyan, after losing Yan Zhen, he also lost the power of his soul.

He was restrained, and when he came back after seeing his friend's misfortune, he was no longer the radiant young general, but the sick and pale Sect Master Mei.

Mei Changsu worked hard for him, but he still couldn't get rid of the prejudice in his heart.

Because there will be no second Yan Zhen, she earnestly instructed that the employer should not be suspicious, and the suspect should not be used.

Fighting in the hunting palace, there will never be a firm woman who says to him: "You also have to trust me and Meng Zhi, before you arrive, you will definitely be able to defend the hunting palace."

He has always believed in her, but she is gone.

How could he not know the dangers of the prince's road and the loneliness of the emperor's road?And why don't you know that there are only monarchs and ministers left among fathers and sons, and there are no fathers and sons.

In the past, if he had Yan Zhen, there would be a family waiting for him behind him.But what does he have now? He saw that he had received the crown prince's golden seal, and there was nothing but desolation left in his heart.

In the end, the Chiyan case was over, Lin Shu was wronged, and finally took off Mei Changsu's coat, and returned to Lin Shu for three months, dying on the battlefield in the northern border.

When he wore the black imperial attire and lifted the red cloth of Lin Shu's tablet, he had already sent away too many people.

King Qi, Lin Xie, Fo Ya, even Emperor Liang, and now his best friend—Lin Shu.

Looking back, he realized that in his life, there was nothing worth losing.

On the long road to becoming a king, he learned to rule slowly, learned to balance the various ministries, and learned too many things that he didn't need to learn before the age of 19.

But in a blink of an eye, 13 years have passed, and Xiao Jingyan shouldered the heavy burden of the common ideal alone, because there is no one behind him.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The little eunuch next to him woke up Xiao Jingyan, who was taking a nap in the Hall of Wuyinghou, but he didn't notice the teardrops that rolled down his cheeks along with the cold sweat when he opened his eyes.

"Where's the queen?" Xiao Jingyan's voice suddenly became hoarse.

"The empress is staying with the third princess in the Chaoyang Palace." The third princess Xiao Youxian is the youngest child in the palace. She was born by the empress when she was nearly forty years old. She is the seventh child of the emperor and the empress, just like her elder sister Xiao Youning , The voices and smiles all come from their mothers.

"I'll go take a look."

Even though he has been on the throne for 12 years, Xiao Jingyan still has the same personality as before, no matter how he does things or how he treats people.

He was not used to sitting in a chariot. It took him less than half an hour to walk from the Hall of Martial Arts to the Hall of Chaoyang. He walked very fast, and the guards and eunuchs around him were even worse. This man had stepped into the footsteps of a middle-aged emperor.

When he arrived at the Chaoyang Hall, a thin layer of sweat was already on his body, and the weather in September was not considered cool. He walked through the corridor and walked to the main hall, and saw the pale yellow figure squatting on the thick carpet to take Teasing her daughter who is just toddler with the shiny safety lock.

Before he was notified, she turned her head as if she had sensed something, her eyes met, she smiled at him, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, you are still here.

It's not enough for me to walk this lonely road alone.

Fanwai Zhilan Yushu

The eldest son of the emperor, Xiao Youxu, was canonized as the crown prince when he was 15 years old. Before that, he followed his teacher Mei Changsu to live in Jiangzuo several times, and he also enjoyed himself in the Jianghu for a while.

Now he is canonized as the crown prince, although he has not yet taken power because of his young age, Xiao Jingyan has already taken him to teach him about government affairs.

Xiao Youxu and Xiao Jingyan look very similar, but only a pair of star eyes are particularly similar to Yan Zhen, and his personality is more like his mother Yan Zhen.

That day he went to Chaoyang Palace to pay his respects to his mother, and it happened that his younger brothers and sisters were all there.

After Xiao Youxu finished the salute, Xiao Youxian was already three years old, holding the five-year-old fourth prince Xiao Youmin with one hand, and the other hand was held by the eight-year-old third prince Xiao Youzhao, and ran over and threw himself into his arms.

Xiao Youxu touched his younger sister's bun gently, and said, "Xian'er has grown taller recently. The third and fourth younger brothers have also grown a lot taller. The second younger brother has also grown stronger. I have already prepared the gift of Ah Qi's hairpin." Alright, put it in the Changxin Hall. Send someone to bring it over in a while."

Xiao Youan pursed his lips and smiled, his appearance was [-]% similar to Yan Zhen's, but his deer eyes were very clear, very similar to Xiao Jingyan: "Brother really misses us everywhere we go."

"The gift of reaching the bar is very important to a woman. How can I forget such an important gift." Xiao Youxu smiled gracefully, looked at the queen mother in the seat, and smiled softly, "The imperial sister told the child in Jiangzuo It's been a long time, about Ah Qi's Jiji ceremony. The child will never forget it for a moment."

Thinking of Xiao Youning who married to Jiangzuo two years ago, Yan Zhen missed her beloved daughter recently, and was very pleased to hear about her: "Your sister has been an unruly child since she was a child, and she may be so happy when she arrives in Jiangzuo Well, maybe I am too happy to think about leaving."

Xiao Youxu smiled gently: "My sister also misses her mother, so she said that she will come back to Jinling this year for the Chinese New Year."

"I can't help her messing around." Yan Zhen cursed with a smile, with sighs in her star eyes, "Now you are all grown up. Alang is going to follow Mu Qing to Yunnan to guard the southern border, and he doesn't know when he will be able to return?"

Xiao Yousheng was holding the fourth prince Xiao Youmin in his arms. Hearing these words, he raised his head and looked at Yan Zhen and shouted, "This time Nanchu invaded, he just wanted to go back to the place that was guarded by Aunt Nihuang and his mother more than ten years ago. Qingming, as long as we repel them, Hai'er will come back soon. Hai'er has no special skills, he only has a passion to serve the leader..."

"Okay, okay, you child. The queen mother just sighed." Yan Zhen stared with a smile in his eyes, "You have always had the ambition of a man, and you are willing to follow the example of the hussars to repel those who offend me. The queen mother knows it well , how can I stop you. It's just ten fingers connected to the heart, how can I not worry about you going out. "

Xiao Youxu lightly smiled and put his arms around Xiao Youcheng's shoulders: "Mother, it's my great fortune that my second younger brother has great ambitions. A few days ago, I received a letter from Lin Yi in Jiangzuo, and he even yelled that he was going to the south. Aunt Nihuang and Taifu teamed up to suppress him, and let me watch him in Jinling."

Edward Lam's personality is like that of Lin Shu in the past, he is simply the king of Jinling.

He and Xiao Youcheng are the children of the Jinling family who are feared by everyone. Lin Yi is not afraid of who he offends, but he has a lawless character, which is probably due to Xiao Jingyan's love.

In Chaoyang Palace, the six children accompanied Yan Zhen and talked for a long time. Before leaving, Yan Zhen left the eldest son Xiao Youxu behind.

"What orders does the queen mother have?" Apart from admiration for Yan Zhen, Xiao Youxu also admired and revered her wisdom and bravery.

Yan Zhen looked at the eldest son with picturesque brows and eyes, with a gentle and jade-like appearance, very much like that King Qi who had a clear and bright ideal back then. She expected this child far more than other children, but he was the one who cared the most.

"You are also 15 years old, and it's time to get engaged." Yan Zhen said this sentence lightly, and she saw some slight waves between the brows of this child who was calm and smiling, "Do you have a favorite?" ?”

Xiao Youxu blushed a little when Yan Zhen asked him such a straightforward question. He thought of the bright and charming little girl in the plum blossom bush. He coughed lightly, and said against his will: "It's up to the queen mother to decide."

"The point is to see what you like, so I just make the decision?" Yan Zhen scolded him, and asked tentatively, "How about Mei Que? You watched her grow up, and her family background matches yours." .What do you think?"

Xiao Youxu was told by Yan Zhen that his favorite was Ruyu's young man after all, and his skin was a bit thin, so he replied in a low voice: "My child thinks, Ah Que is pretty good."

Since he was very young, he has been envious of his father and his mother. They have a deep love for each other. Since he was a child, he longed to find someone he likes like his father, and support each other for the rest of his life. However, Xiao Youxu knew that such a It's so hard to find one.

Fortunately, he has Ah Jue.

On this imperial road, he will not be a lonely person.

Tu Mi

In the first year Yan Zhen married Prince Jing, life in Prince Jing's mansion was difficult in Jinling.

Xiao Jingyan wanted to go to the East China Sea again, and this was his self-imposed exile. Yan Zhen entered the palace and invited him to go with him. Emperor Liang felt ashamed because of the affair, so he could only agree.

After Yan Zhen asked for an order, she returned to Prince Jing's mansion.

Standing in the porch, Xiao Jingyan was dressed in a black suit and armor, with his hair tied up and crowned. He was no longer the smiling young man in red. However, he just lost his crown this year.

Yan Zhen walked to his side, he turned to look at her, and then smiled faintly: "You're back."

Yan Zhen showed a shallow smile: "Yes, you finally agreed to let me follow, I have to hurry, lest you regret it later."

He opened his arms and hugged her, and she was not long before she reached his chest, and her chin was stroking her soft and delicate hair, and her tone was lightly filled with joy and sadness: "You, I really love you!" There is no way."

He wrapped his arms around her and subconsciously rubbed her neck. It was early summer and she was still wearing a winter shirt to cover her neck. His movements made her subconsciously back away. Xiao Jingyan stretched out his other hand to calm Yan Zhen: "Don't move, let me touch it, it won't hurt you."

Yan Zhen didn't move in his arms, his fingertips were trembling and he was groping for the hideous wound through his clothes. This was Yan Zhen's first taste of betrayal. He touched the short wound, although Not big, but enough to shock people.

Grasping his hand with the other hand, Yan Zhen said flatly: "It's all over, Tortoise has promised me again and again that there will be no scars."

Xiao Jingyan remained silent, just stood silently holding her in the porch, looked at the octagonal palace lantern, and said after a while: "You and I will suffer hardships in the future."

"Hard work? Are you really relieved that I'm alone in Jinling?" Yan Zhen asked him so.

Xiao Jingyan remained silent, Yan Zhen leaned peacefully in his arms, he was the one she had been waiting for for so many years, she really didn't want to experience separation again and again.

Furthermore, Jinling has been occupied by various forces since the death of King Qi. If they want to fight their way out in the end, they have to give up here. This place was born and raised here, and will be buried here in the future.

Donghai is not far from Qingzhou, she has already made love with Emperor Liang
