Chapter 506 Two Single Dogs
Inside the hall.
Yan Shixu looked at his son's determined back as he left and took a sip of tea with satisfaction.
"Humph, brat, at least you're not that stupid."
When he looked up, he was met with Wen Li'er's slightly reproachful eyes, as if to say:
You're still laughing? You just bullied your son!
Yan Shixu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, but then explained confidently:
"Li'er, I'm just giving him some pointers."
"You should protect your own wife yourself, why would you ask me to do anything?"
"If he doesn't even have this much ability and means, he should stop thinking about the girl!"
After hearing this, the anger on Wen Li'er's face gradually turned into a helpless smile.
"Your Majesty, what you said... is not without reason."
She really didn't expect that her eldest son, who had always been obsessed with martial arts and military tactics and was as stubborn as an elm in terms of emotions.
He actually took the initiative to care so much about a girl.
He was even so impulsive as to come directly to ask His Majesty to dismiss the other person's father from his official position.
This is the first time that a piece of iron tree has blossomed.
Thinking of this, Wen Li'er's eyebrows curved, revealing a look of relief.
She put down the embroidery frame in her hand and said softly, "It seems that the children have really grown up."
Her mind turned slightly and she remembered another thing.
The smile in his eyes deepened, and he said to Yan Shixu:
"Your Majesty, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something else. Have you noticed that Xing Tian has been a little different lately?"
"Oh? What happened to the prince?"
Yan Shixu raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup, and looked interested.
How could anyone notice anything different about that thoughtful, mature and steady son?
Wen Li'er leaned forward slightly, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously:
"From what I see, he seems to have some special feelings towards the young lady from the Gu family."
"She is Gu Qingran, the daughter of Cangzhou Governor Gu Jinxiu."
"At the last palace banquet, Miss Gu's clothes were soiled, and Xing Tian actually took the initiative to speak up to help her out. This is completely unlike his character."
Yan Shixu rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
After Li'er said this, he remembered that it was the prince who suggested transferring Gu Jinxiu back to Beijing from Cangzhou.
How could the prince actually be interested in the daughter of a minister who lived far away in Cangzhou and had never been seen in the capital?
That can only be...
He also showed a smile.
At the entrance of the palace.
Zhao Zhao and Mu Mu came together to pay their respects to their father, the emperor, and their mother, the queen.
As soon as they stepped into the palace, they clearly heard their father's earth-shattering words:
"Then there will only be two single guys left, Zhao Zhao and Xing Chuan? Nian Nian is still young, there's no rush."
Zhao Zhao: “???”
Yan Xingchuan: "???"
The two of them froze in place for an instant, all four eyes staring at their father who was sitting leisurely in the hall.
Who? Who?!
You mean the two of them?!
Zhao Zhao was the first to get angry.
She was still wearing her fiery red riding and archery uniform, and with a flick of her ponytail, she rushed to Yan Shixu in a few steps.
Her eyebrows were raised, and her voice was clear and full of disbelief:
"Father! What nonsense are you talking about? My fourth brother and I are only a few years old!"
Yan Xingchuan followed behind, although he had a cold and steady personality.
But after being given such a title by his father, a layer of redness and helplessness appeared on his fair and handsome face.
He bowed politely before speaking slowly.
The sound was like the collision of jade and stone, but it carried obvious protest:
"Father, your Majesty, my son and I are not even fifteen yet. Talking about marriage now... isn't it too early?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "under the age of fifteen".
Yan Shixu looked at the pair of children in front of him who were as beautiful as jade and as fiery as fire.
One is bright and flamboyant like the scorching sun, the other is cool and handsome like a tall bamboo.
They are all in the best time of their youth.
He was questioned by his daughter and criticized subtly by his son, but instead of getting angry, he burst into laughter.
I continued to tease them in a good mood:
"What do you mean early? When I was your age... uh..."
He wanted to brag a little, but when he caught a glimpse of Wen Li'er's half-smile, he immediately changed his words.
"Ahem, anyway, your eldest brother has finally come to his senses, and Xing Tian seems to have found someone in his heart."
"As for Miaomiao...even though the Cui family kid is a jerk, she has finally experienced it and grown up."
"Aren't you the only two left? Why don't you hurry up?"
Zhao Zhao's cheeks puffed up with anger, and he stamped his feet and said:
"Brother, that was a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"
"Crown Prince...Crown Prince, it was love at first sight!"
"My sister only remembers eating and not being beaten!"
"My daughter and I don't want to be like them! We must always be with our father, the emperor, and our mother!"
Yan Xingchuan nodded silently and added:
"I believe that studying to gain knowledge and cultivate one's character are more important."
What he meant was that love between men and women was not currently within his consideration.
Wen Li'er looked at the two children who were so upset by their father's words, and couldn't help but chuckle, and quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Alright, alright, Father was just joking with you."
"You two are still young, there is still a lot of time to go. Fate will naturally come together in the future. Why rush?"
As she spoke, she glared at Yan Shixu, signaling him to stop.
Yan Shixu received the look from his beloved wife and decided to stop while he was ahead.
But looking at the pair of outstanding children in front of him, he couldn't help but laugh softly and whispered to Wen Li'er:
"Look, I'm not going to say anything more... It seems that the person who will have happy events the soonest in our palace is Miaomiao."
The hall was suddenly filled with a lively and warm atmosphere.
The sunlight pours in through the long carved windows, stretching the family's figures into a long, intimate and harmonious space.
Outside the palace wall, Yan Xingyi rode his beloved horse and galloped out of the palace.
Yunfei lives in Prince Yan’s mansion.
The lights are on.
Yan Xingyi, Prince Yan, the third son of Marquis Yongding, Lu Yian, and a group of noble sons gathered together.
The atmosphere was different from the usual playful ones, but instead had a rare seriousness.
"That's what happened."
Yan Xingyi spoke in a deep voice, briefly recounting Chu Weiyi's experiences in the Chu family and their origins nine years ago.
Of course, I omitted my subtle thoughts and only emphasized that I should stand up for justice.
Lu Yian slammed the table and stood up, filled with indignation:
"How can this be! That old man from the Chu family is so foolish!"
"And that vicious woman Liu, she deserves to be cut into pieces!"
Prince Yan had never expected that the little girl they rescued would actually be the eldest daughter of the Chu family.
He saw with his own eyes how miserable the other party was.
Therefore, he also restrained his laughter and said thoughtfully:
"Brother Yi, what do you want to do? Going straight to her house wouldn't be fair and would only cause trouble for Miss Chu."
A sharp light flashed in Yan Xingyi's eyes:
"Of course we can't act recklessly!"
"Since Liu is good at using the secret methods of the rear house, we will give them a taste of their own medicine."
"Yi An, your mother is on good terms with the ladies of various families."
"The Liu family's past reputation as 'virtuous' is about time people knew what kind of people were underneath."
Lu Yian immediately understood and smiled:
"Leave it to me! I guarantee that within three days, the Liu family's 'good name' will spread throughout the circle of noble ladies in the capital!"
"Ayan." Yan Xingyi continued to deploy.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Chu Weiluo and her trusted maids. Find any faults and get concrete evidence. The bigger the better."
"Understood!" Prince Yan rubbed his hands eagerly: "I'm the best at finding evidence against people!"
"As for Chu Guodong..."
Yan Xingyi sneered, "Since he values his reputation, I'll let him have a taste of what it feels like to have his reputation suffer."
"At tomorrow's morning court session, I will have the Imperial Censor report him for his lax management of his household, for allowing his concubines to mistreat his legitimate daughter, and for bringing disgrace upon the imperial court!"
Everyone had a clear division of labor, and a counterattack against the Chu family was quietly brewing.
