Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, his cousin has become more and more beautiful, and his stature is surprisingly tall. He is dressed in a red official robe and has a long body, which is more than twice as good-looking as Xiao Chuji.

"Are you... how are you doing in Chu State?" He asked in a strange way.

Xiao Yan didn't appreciate it, and sat down on the armchair with a flick of his robe, "What does it have to do with you?"

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years, but you and I are quite unfamiliar."

"I haven't seen you for more than ten years. I have nothing to do with you."

Pei Jiuzhi was puzzled, "You are so anxious to get rid of the relationship, do you want to treason?"

"Country? Pei Jiuzhi, Chu is my country."

I only heard Pei Jiuzhi sneer and said: "It's up to you, after all, no one can change the blood relationship, can you be the eldest prince of Jin?"

Xiao Yan's voice is gloomy and his tone is extremely heavy.

"If you continue to be the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom, I will prevent you from getting out of this Xiao residence today."

Pei Jiuzhi naturally kept his mouth shut. He knew that Xiao Yan had spent so many years in the state of Chu. To be able to get to where he is today, he must have the ability. If he didn't know how to praise, he might not be able to get out of Xiao's mansion.

He said lightly: "About half a year ago, the jade book next to you sent a letter saying that you had other feelings for the little emperor of Chu. Now that half a year has passed, my aunt feels that you are getting more and more out of Jin's control. She often opposes her. But she said that since you have feelings for the emperor of Chu, she will not stop her. If you take Chu in the future, she will offer the throne and the emperor with both hands. I hope you will not disappoint her painstaking cultivation. .”

"Cultivation with painstaking efforts," Xiao Yan paused every word, and then said: "I don't know when she cultivated me, this huge intelligence network in Chu State was all set up by me, Xiao Yan, from a poor little bug in Tingzhou Is it because of her painstaking efforts to climb to today's position step by step? Pei Jiuzhi, she is in charge of the court now, you eagle dog is eager to curry favor and put on airs."

"you!"

"how?"

Xiao Yan looked at him sharply with Ruifeng eyes like an eagle.

"After all, she is your mother, how can you say that about her?"

"She only has my good brother in her eyes, so what am I? She just wants to use my strength to pave the way for her precious son."

What she said was right, the empress really wanted Xiao Chuji to ascend the throne and proclaim herself emperor, but Xiao Zhuochi was also her son, if she took over the state of Chu, how could she treat him badly?

Unless the person in front of you, the ambition is far more than that.

He had no choice but to say, "Forget it, sooner or later you will know about your aunt's hard work."

Oh, good intentions...

If he said this, he might not even believe it himself.

After Pei Jiuzhi walked around the wall, he went back to the study by himself, holding the Buddhist scriptures sent by Meng Qing in his hand, and studied them carefully.

Zhong Qing came in through the long pavilion and closed the water chestnut door.

"Master, Mr. Pei is gone."

"Well, send someone to keep an eye on him, as well as Xiao Chuji."

"Second Prince, he..."

"What about him?"

The bell was about to speak but stopped.

"Say."

He had no choice but to say: "Second prince, he came to ask the lord to marry you at the order of his mother, and he asked for the princess Xincheng. Do you want to stop it? After all, the lord, you are to the emperor..."

Xiao Yan flipped through the scriptures and said, "What does it have to do with me if I get married or not?"

"But your lord, you are the eldest prince. If Princess Xincheng becomes your concubine, what will your majesty do?"

He raised his eyelids, his eyes filled with indifference and indifference.

"Xiao Zhuochi's marriage to the concubine, what does it have to do with me, Xiao Yan?"

"The Lord said so."

Zhong Que knew that he didn't want to have anything to do with the royal family of the Jin Kingdom, but his future home would still be the Jin Kingdom. If he married Princess Xincheng, he would definitely be used by the empress.

If Meng Qing knew that Xiao Yan's true identity was the eldest prince of Jin, the sky would be turned upside down.

……

The next day.

Today is the New Year, all the officials rested at home, and Meng Qing also asked the officials of Honglu Temple to entertain the envoys from Jin.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yan entered the palace to accompany him.

Rather than staying in Xiao's residence, he would rather stay by Meng Qing's side and be with her.

Meng Qing flipped through the memorial, sneaking glances at Xiao Yan from time to time, she was going to Ci'an Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager today, but who knew Xiao Yan came, and she lingered on like a dog's skin plaster.

She had to work overtime to read the memorials, so he thought she was diligent and caring for the people, and sat quietly reading the scriptures.

In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "Teacher, don't you go back to your house for the New Year?"

"There is no one in the house, so I come into the palace to accompany the emperor."

"...Actually, I don't need your company."

Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and leaned his hands on the table, he became a little more majestic.

He said bitterly: "Is the emperor going to drive this humble minister away?"

Obediently!this……

That's not what she meant, it's just that she wants to accompany the Queen Mother, Xiao Yan is here, how can she go?
Meng Qing could only gritted her teeth and swallowed in her stomach, and said with a smile: "How could it be, I wish the Grand Tutor would accompany me."

In the imperial palace of Yujing City, the sky and the city were white, and the distant scenery could not be seen clearly due to the fog.

She suddenly wanted to leave the palace for a walk.

"Teacher, I want to leave the palace."

Xiao Yan frowned, "Leaving the palace? Not right, there are a bunch of foreigners in Yujing City now, if you let them know that you are leaving the palace, it may cause chaos."

After hearing this, Meng Qing lowered her head in disappointment, "Yes."

Xiao Yan looked at her, the little girl was like a wilted rose, with drooping ears, she was extremely pitiful.

He couldn't bear to say: "I will protect you well."

Protect her?

What Xiao Yan meant was that she could leave the palace, and he would protect her well!
Meng Qing regained her spirits all of a sudden, Liu Ye's eyes were crystal clear and filled with anticipation: "Can I leave the palace? Then when shall we leave the palace?"

"The night in Yujing City is the most lively, so it's better for us to leave the palace at dusk."

"Twilight? What if we don't make it in time to get the key from the palace gate?"

"Live in the minister's mansion."

live in his house...

Meng Qing also lived in his house for a day or two, but she was still a little ashamed and flustered when he said it so blatantly.

Xiao Yan also noticed her strangeness.

"If the emperor is unwilling, it is also possible to return to the palace earlier."

"willing!"

Meng Qing hurriedly said.

She didn't want to go back to the palace so early, she hadn't visited the streets of Yujing much yet.

Only then did Xiao Yan show a successful smile.

The Spring Festival in Yujing is always covered with a layer of winter snow, the color of snow is like frost, and the cold wind from Shuozhou whizzes past, blowing the young girl's pale cheeks, which is bitingly cold.

At noon, Meng Qing went to Ci'an Palace in Luanjia, had lunch with Gu Qingyun, talked for a while, and then returned to Xinuang Pavilion.

There was a charcoal fire in the pavilion, so it wasn't too cold.

As soon as she came back, she asked Lingyu to find a man's clothes for her to change into.

Xiao Yan was waiting in the main hall, reading scriptures and fiddled with Buddhist beads.

After changing, the girl came out from the inner hall, and she imitated Xiao Yan's steps in a serious manner.

"Cough cough..."
