No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 541
In the early morning of late autumn, the royal courtyard was quiet.

The flowers and trees in the other courtyard are specially cultivated and cared for, and there are hot spring water veins everywhere. Even though it is almost winter, there is no sign of depression here.

The purpose of entering is only green grass and green trees, flowers and brocades, which are too beautiful to be absorbed.

After Xie Yan finished handling some trivial matters, he walked out of the room and saw Luo Junyao waving the Youyue thorn in the garden not far away.

The girl is petite and slender, but her moves are fierce and valiant, without the feeling of flowery fists and legs, and can only make people feel the coldness and murderous aura of the blade.

Xie Yan didn't bother her, but sat on the stone steps under the porch, watching this scene intently.

Luo Junyao had noticed Xie Yan's arrival a long time ago, turned his head and smiled slightly at him, the blade brushed over a well-bloomed rose beside him, and the brightly colored flower immediately flew down from the branch, towards Xie Yan The direction of lasing away.

Xie Yan gently raised his hand, took the flower in his palm, looked at Luo Junyao and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Luo Junyao put away the Youyue thorn, walked briskly to Xie Yan, "Are you done?"

Xie Yan stood up and put the flowers in her hair.

"Why are you alone, where are the children?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "The little devils said that they should finish the homework assigned by the master first, and then have fun. They are all in the study."

Luo Junyao expressed sympathy for this.

Even in ancient times, even a kid who was only seven or eight years old could not escape the devastation of homework after class.

Xie Yan nodded, took her hand and asked, "Where does Yao Yao want to go today?"

"Are you all right?"

"It's nothing at all." Xie Yan said, "It's just that Wei Changting sent someone to talk about Gao Yu's emissary, and it can be settled in a few words."

"So, do we really have to stay here for half a month and let the envoy Gao Yu wait?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the problem?"

It seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

The Gao Yu people dared to suddenly break their promises, probably because Da Sheng took them too seriously before.

Luo Jun rolled his eyes and quickly forgot Gao Yu's envoy's question, "Shall we go horseback riding?"

Xie Yan nodded and smiled, "Okay."

For a general who has been on the battlefield all year round, riding a horse is actually not an interesting pastime.

But to Luo Junyao, it was still very interesting.

Although she has ridden a lot of horses before going out, riding a horse on the road is still very different from simply riding a horse for fun.

The racecourse is behind the other courtyard, a huge flat land specially reclaimed.It is surrounded by fences, and there are usually people stationed there.

The two rode their horses and galloped in the racecourse for a long time. They felt happy before they calmed down. They just let the horses walk freely.

Luo Junyao leaned against Xie Yan's arms, and suddenly chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Xie Yan asked in a low voice.

Luo Jun shook his head: "I just suddenly felt that we... seem a little silly."

"Is there?" Xie Yan raised his eyebrows.

Luo Junyao immediately put away his smile, and shook his head solemnly, "No, everything is fun with Ah Yan." After speaking, he raised his head and kissed his handsome chin.

Xie Yan looked down at her with deep eyes.

After a while, he slowly leaned over and kissed her lightly on the lips.

Luo Junyao felt a little blushing for no reason, and quickly glanced around.

Seeing that there was no one else on the vast horse farm, he was relieved.Soon, I felt a little funny again, not to mention that they were married for a year and they were a legitimate couple, but before they got married, when did she, Luo Junyao, become so innocent?

It must be an environmental problem!
"Is that the hunting ground over there?" Luo Junyao pointed to the other side of the horse farm, where there was a high guardrail, and behind the guardrail was an endless forest.

The back mountain is completely different from the front mountain. There are ordinary trees on the mountain. Some trees are still green in this season, while others are withered and yellow. This is the most common scene in late autumn and early winter.

Xie Yan nodded and said: "That's right, that's the royal hunting ground. No one has been to this hunting ground for many years. Although there will be regular cleaning every year, there may be quite a few ferocious beasts in it now."

Luo Jun's eyes lit up, "Why don't we go hunting?"

Two unscrupulous adults left a group of children in another courtyard and went hunting happily.

The days in the other courtyard are very leisurely. Luo Junyao either goes out with Xie Yan every day, rides horses and hunts, or does nothing in the other courtyard. He finds a sunny time to sit and read a book and play chess, or leads a group of The little doll was running around in the courtyard.

The Royal Courtyard, which was always silent in the past, is now full of laughter all day long.

In the afternoon, Luo Junyao lazily sat on the swing in the garden and read a book.

At the table not far away, Xie Yan was painting.A little further away, a few children hid in the corner and peeked here.

"By the way, why are we squatting here?" Su Xuan asked.

Xie Cheng turned his head to silence him, sighed and said, "If we go there now, tomorrow's homework will definitely be doubled."

"Really?" The young Zheng Jingfeng and Wang Ze looked at Xie Cheng in horror.

For them, the scariest thing is to double their homework.

Xie Cheng nodded deeply, "Yes."

Zheng Jingfeng tugged at Xie Cheng's sleeve, "Why don't we go?" Most importantly, he didn't find it interesting to squat here to peek at the regent and princess.

Xie Cheng sighed, looking at the expressions of his friends, he could only say: "Okay, then let's go and play by ourselves, we won't be called Aunt Xiaohuang anymore."

"Actually, it's fun to be with the princess, but it's a pity that the princess always wants to be with the prince, so she doesn't have much time to play with us."

Zheng Jingchuan grew up so big, and he has never seen a grown-up woman willing to play crazy with them.

No, not even his sisters played with him much when they were little.

This statement won the agreement of many people, including Jiang Che.

The concubine is very good at martial arts and often gives him advice.

These little ghosts squatted in the corner for a long time, Xie Yan naturally discovered it long ago.But he ignored them, and only glanced sideways at their previous hiding place after they left.

On the table in front of Xie Yan was a painting of clothes that was almost finished.

In the painting, Luo Jun is lazily leaning on the swing, looking forward and smiling sweetly.

Behind her, there are dazzling flowers and landscapes in the garden, almost making people think that she is a little fairy sitting among the flowers.

And not far in front of him, Luo Junyao had already quietly fallen asleep.

Xie Yan put down his pen, and gave instructions to the guard not far behind him.

The guard quickly went and came back, holding a large cloak in his hand.

Xie Yan took it and walked to the edge of the swing, and put the cloak on Luo Junyao.

A slight movement woke up Luo Junyao, who was only in a light sleep.

"Woke you up?" Xie Yan said softly.

Luo Jun shook his smile and said, "I didn't sleep at all. I'm done talking? Let me see." It was only in this other courtyard that Xie Yan could have such a leisurely time. Xie Yan spent an afternoon painting a portrait for her.

Xie Yan smiled and said, "It's coming soon."

Luo Jun stood up, trying to take off the cloak, but was held down by Xie Yan.

"Put on, the sun is going down soon." Luo Junyao didn't object, and let him put on the cloak for himself.

"It's so beautiful." Luo Junyao couldn't help but admire the painting unfolded on the table.

Xie Yan's painting skills are no worse than Su Rui's, and Luo Junyao likes it very much.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand to touch her small face, and said, "It looks good when you shake it."

Luo Junyao was very satisfied in his heart, he pulled Xie Yan to sit down and asked him to continue painting, while he stood behind him and watched.

When the mood came up and wanted to make trouble, he simply lay on his back and hooked his neck, Xie Yan was not affected at all, and he still had the time to turn around to chat and laugh with her from time to time.

By the time Xie Yan finished the whole painting, the sun had already set.

The warmth of the sun was lost between heaven and earth, and the chill of early winter soon surged up.

Luo Junyao looked at the words on the table happily, and said: "Take it away, and I will take it back to Shangyong later."

"Yes, princess."

"I don't know where Ah Cheng and the others went to play?"

"Little Aunt Huang, we are back!" Xie Cheng's voice sounded from afar, and several children ran in from outside surrounded by guards and servants. Xie Cheng was still holding a pair of chopsticks that came from nowhere long fish.

"Little Aunt Huang, let's go fishing. Ah Cheng caught it himself." Xie Cheng offered Luo Junyao his harvest as a gift.

Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Ah Cheng is so powerful."

Xie Cheng was not afraid that the fish would be greasy, so he held the fish that was still alive and kicking and said, "Little Aunt Huang, shall we eat fish tonight? This is Ah Cheng's honor to Uncle Huang and Aunt Huang."

"Of course Ah Cheng is so filial." Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan who was sitting on the side, rolled his eyes and said, "Shall we grill fish?"

So, a fire was set up in the open space outside the other courtyard, and the two adults and a few children started grilling fish, meat, and vegetables on their own.

The children also liked this kind of do-it-yourself way very much, and their busy laughter spread far away in the night.

They were happy in the other courtyard, but the people in Shangyong were not so comfortable.

"My son, envoy Gao Yu is asking to see you."

Wei Changting, who returned to the mansion late at night, heard the report from the mansion manager before he had time to enter the door.

Wei Changting couldn't help thinking, why don't I go back to the household department to work overtime?It's also better than chatting with Gao Yuren here.

I want to think so, but I can't really do it.

Wei Shizi could only greet His Royal Highness the Prince Regent who had gone out to relax in his heart, but said in his mouth, "Where is he?"

"Drinking tea in the flower hall." The steward hesitated for a moment, and said, "I've been sitting here for almost an hour."

Wei Changting waved his hands and said, "I'll go change my clothes and see you later."

In the flower hall of the Marquis of Lingchuan, the envoy Gao Yu was sitting in a trance.He didn't even look at the hot tea that was just put on beside him. No matter who sat alone and drank the tea for an hour, he didn't want to look at the tea again.

Seeing Wei Changting walking in from the outside, the envoy secretly heaved a sigh of relief, got up quickly and said, "Master Wei, excuse me."

Wei Shizi smirked, "You're welcome." Knowing that I'm disturbing you, you came to the door and refused to leave?
"My lord, please sit down, I don't know... why did you wait for Wei on purpose?" Wei Changting said.

The emissary said: "To be honest, I still want to inquire. I wonder if His Royal Highness the Regent will come back?"

They have all lived in Shangyong for several days, but Xie Yan still has no intention of coming back.

Although the envoy suspected that Xie Yan was deliberately avoiding him to delay the time, there was nothing he could do.

Wei Changting said: "My lord, how can I know the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent? The prince went out to relax with the princess, and my lord asked me, why don't you go to the Luo family to ask? The princess regent is the daughter of that one, who wouldn't?" It’s impossible for him not to know.”

The envoy smiled helplessly, if he could ask Luo Yun, why would he ask Wei Changting.

"I really don't dare to disturb General Luo, and I would like to ask Shizi Wei to point out a clear way. My king is really worried about the safety of the eldest prince, and hopes to see the eldest prince back as soon as possible."

Wei Changting thought about it, but did not express his opinion in a hurry.

The envoy also urged that he would look for Wei Changting instead of other more powerful people in the imperial city, so there was a reason for it.

Wei Changting is the most trusted subordinate and colleague of the Regent of Dasheng. This trust is far beyond that of ordinary monarchs and ministers.

After a long time, Wei Changting said: "My lord, to be honest, the prince will definitely not come back these days."

Seeing that the envoy was anxious, Wei Changting comforted him: "But you don't have to worry, my lord. Although the prince will not come back, he has given instructions before leaving. You can talk to the person in charge of this matter first. The court has also We are discussing this matter, but there is no result for a while, so I neglected the adults, please forgive me."

The emissary was a little disappointed, but he also knew that he couldn't force it, so he could only ask: "That's not what the lords of the court mean..."

Wei Changting said: "At present, the King of Ancheng County and the Minister of Rites are fully responsible for this matter. Perhaps tomorrow, the King of Ancheng County will summon your lord to discuss this matter. But the final result will only be determined by the King Regent's return."

"Thank you, Lord Wei, for the information." The envoy said.

In any case, making progress is much more reassuring than being left hanging like this for the past few days.

"Gao Yu sincerely wants to restore the old relationship, so please ask Mr. Wei to speak a few words of kindness for me in front of King Ancheng."

"It's easy to say." Wei Changting said with a smile.

After finally seeing off the envoy Gao Yu, Wei Changting yawned lazily, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Is it better to rebuild the old one?

If the battle in Yanzhou went well, the people of Gao Yu would never remember the words "rebuild the old good".

"Gao Yu people will come again in the future, don't let them in." Wei Changting ordered: "Why are you so stupid? Just say that I have something to go elsewhere today, and if I don't come back, it will be fine?"

The steward answered quickly, Wei Changting then stood up and wandered back to his yard to rest.

"However...they probably won't have time to come to me in the next few days."

These Gaoyu people don't think those old men in the court are easy to fool, do they? If you want to negotiate with them, it will take ten days and half a month.
