The next day at four o'clock in the morning, in the East Garden of Prince Teng's Palace.
The maid added water to the wooden basin, arranged the toiletries and left.
Qi Yan took off his dusty clothes, revealing his lean and strong arms and chest muscles, and his eight abdominal muscles were clearly defined.
He has been accustomed to taking cold showers since he was a child to exercise his strong willpower.
A Yan likes me to be neat and tidy, so I must clean up before going to see her.
When he was in the palace, Sheng Xiyan was keen on buying clothes for him.
Tiewa took a razor to shave.
After a stick of incense, Qi Yan seemed like a different person.
Tiewa opened his mouth in surprise.
Uncle is so handsome.
At the border, he deliberately discredited himself and went to the enemy country to gather intelligence.
On the way back to the capital, he deliberately dressed like a merchant.
After washing and tidying himself up, his face was as white as jade, yet still masculine.
His eyes are like bright stars, like the dawn light, shining brightly under his raised brows.
There is a calmness in his expression that goes beyond his age.
The only thing left by the war were two long scars on his right cheek near his ear and on his neck.
Prince Teng patted Qi Yan on the shoulder and said, "Brother Qi, this is the real you, the handsome general renowned throughout the three armies."
Otherwise, how could Xiyan fall in love with him at first sight?
Prince Teng felt emotional, no wonder Sheng Xiyan didn't even look at him, it turned out that the two competitors were too outstanding.
After a stick of incense, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
Prince Teng hesitated to speak. He wanted to remind Qi Yan of something, but that would go against the duty of a subject to be loyal to the king.
"Brother Qi, I want to remind you because I truly consider you a good brother. Do you really want to take this step?"
The road ahead may be bright - to restore the former glory, continue to be loyal to the king and serve the country.
Or it could be an abyss.
Qi Yan understood what he meant - the emperor was angry and killed his rival for the sake of his beloved.
He simply said, "I believe the emperor. He clearly distinguishes between public and private affairs."
If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die.
Your Majesty, even if I am torn to pieces, my original intention will not change.
You are my faith.
The young man accompanied Xuan Ling, helped him to overcome difficulties, cried with him, and laughed with him. This love has long surpassed the relationship between the monarch and his subject.
There are only two people in this world who can make a minister protect them with his life. The first is the emperor, and the second is Sheng Xiyan.
Prince Teng clapped his hands and said with emotion:
"It was my fault. Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and I shouldn't have made random assumptions.
Let's go to the palace and start a new chapter for General Qi Yan. I am honored to be your witness."
Qi Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you, good brother."
He put on a black hat and followed Prince Teng out of the carriage.
At the palace gate, "This is the counselor I brought to meet the emperor."
The guard at the gate searched their bodies carefully and only let them in after finding no sharp weapons.
Because Prince Teng had to attend the morning court.
"Brother Qi, you know the palace well. You can go for a walk and avoid the imperial guards. After the morning court session, I will take you to meet the emperor."
"good."
Prince Teng was about to leave, but came back and said:
"Brother Qi, you'd better be patient for now. If you rashly go to the harem and get seen, I'm afraid the emperor will be displeased. After all, you just returned..."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I know what's going on."
Prince Teng hurried to the Qianqing Palace to attend the court meeting.
As Xuan Ling's study partner, Qi Yan has been in the palace since he was a child and knows the terrain like the back of his hand.
Guanju Palace should be in that direction.
In Guanju Palace, Jiang Jiang was wearing a small brocade robe, had her hair tied up in a bun, and wore a black jade and gold necklace around her neck.
Sitting on the porch steps eating a doughnut,
"Do you guys want to eat too? Greedy cats, greedy dogs."
The little hands broke off a little and scattered it on the ground.
The Chow Chow and Pekingese came forward to sniff and ate it all in a few bites.
The black cat remained unmoved, as if looking down on the two dogs.
"Young Master, drink milk."
The wet nurse brought a yellow-glazed bowl with decorative patterns. Jiang Jiang took it and drank it all in a few gulps.
"My dear little boy, you are so good and growing taller quickly!"
The general laughed and said, "I wish I could grow up to be as tall as my father soon, so that I can bend the bow and shoot arrows."
“It’s almost there.”
There is a person hidden in the eaves of the outer wall, like a gecko.
Is this the child born by Ayan, my son?
A fire rose in Qi Yan's heart, an excitement that came from a blood connection.
His eyes were hot and blurred with tears. He wiped them hastily, and in the blink of an eye, the little ball disappeared.
Did he enter the temple? I hadn't seen his little face clearly yet.
After a while, Jiang Jiang pulled Sheng Xiyan out, and the mother and son stood on the porch.
The woman was wearing a soft blue gauze brocade skirt, the hem of which fluttered like flowing water.
A jeweled belt cinches her slender waist, highlighting her graceful figure.
She wears a gold hairpin inlaid with kingfisher feathers and oriental pearls on her head and jade earrings on her ears, which makes her look elegant and graceful, just like the precious gold and jade.
Although I couldn't see her face clearly because of the distance, her smile was still sweet and bright.
The whole person is more rounded and gorgeous than when he was in the palace.
A Yan, I finally see you.
You are still the same as I imagined, without changing at all.
Qi Yan was lying on the eaves of the corridor, crying inconsolably. Suddenly, he heard someone approaching, and he quickly ran up a tall camphor tree to hide.
"Mother, come play with me. Didn't you say you would play Cuju with me?"
Sheng Xiyan coaxed:
"Mother has notified all the palaces to go to the South Garden for a free medical consultation, and we can't go back on our word.
How about you take Xiao Zhuozi and two guards to play Cuju?"
Jiang Jiang curled his lips and said, "Mother, you can't beat me, so you're cheating, right? Be careful or I'll tell father that you're lying to a child."
"No lie, no lie, tomorrow your mother will play Cuju with you."
After a stick of incense, under the banyan tree in the South Garden.
