Chapter 694, Take Good Care
The eyes of all the officials followed the movements of the emperor and others.
Many of them had complicated expressions.
"I didn't expect it to be Xiao Yeyang!"
Among them, Prince Ping had the most mixed feelings. Looking at his son walking with Xue Xiangchen, Chu Gang and others, who was no less charismatic than him, he had a ridiculous feeling that he didn't know how to face it.
Prince Rui came over and nudged Prince Ping: "Yeyang has changed so much, I almost didn't recognize him."
Prince Ping hummed and said nothing else.
Prince Rui sighed, "Now that Yeyang is back, you should pay more attention to him in the future and stop focusing all your attention on Ma and her son."
He could somewhat understand Lao Jiu's feelings at this moment. His son was so outstanding, but as a father, he had no part in his excellence. He must feel a little unfamiliar in his heart.
Prince Ping snorted, "Is it because I don't care about that kid? He doesn't take me, his father, seriously. He's been in Zhongzhou for so long and he's never written to me."
The corner of Prince Rui's mouth twitched: "You haven't written to him either?"
Prince Ping glared: "I am his father, shouldn't he write to me to ask how he is?"
Prince Rui didn't want to talk anymore.
Prince Ping continued to snort, "That brat only cares about getting close to the Guo family. If he had me as his father, would he do something like stabbing me in the heart?"
Yes, it’s the Guo family again!
Prince Rui sighed. Prince Ping's family affairs were quite complicated, and outsiders really couldn't persuade them.
Several princes were also looking at Xiao Yeyang.
The eldest prince said: "This guy has really changed a lot."
The Third Prince: "I still prefer his temperament when he was little and easily irritated."
The fifth prince looked at the third prince and said, "Third brother, why don't you go and try and see if Xiao Yeyang still looks like he did when he was little?"
The Third Prince glanced at the Fifth Prince and said, "Why aren't you going? I remember you two fought the most when you were little."
The fifth prince said helplessly, "He is now a Jinling Guard, how dare I provoke him!"
The Third Prince snorted coldly: "You dare not encourage me to go?"
The Fifth Prince laughed and said, "It's understandable that my younger brother is afraid of Xiao Yeyang. After all, I couldn't beat him when we were little. But it's different for my Third Prince. Xiao Yeyang suffered a lot at your hands when he was little. Now that you're close to Xiao Yechen, don't you want to stand up for Xiao Yechen? Or is it that Xiao Yeyang is grown up now, and you're afraid of him, Third Prince?"
The third prince sneered: "Don't provoke me, it's useless." As he said that, he looked up at Xiao Yeyang, his eyes slightly fixed, wondering what he was thinking.
The eldest prince smiled and glanced at the third prince. His third brother must be very regretful now. Xiao Yeyang returned to the capital in such high spirits and made such great contributions in the northern border. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Xiao Yechen could not compare to him.
"Third brother, you are still a little impatient. No matter what, Xiao Yechen was raised by a concubine. I really don't know why you are so eager to make friends with him?"
"Xiao Yeyang and Xiao Yechen are sworn enemies. If they really start fighting, what will you do?"
The Third Prince looked at the First Prince coldly and said, "Don't worry about it, Big Brother."
The second prince and the fourth prince stood aside and listened to the quarrel between them, neither of them wanting to get involved.
The princes were discussing it, and so were the ministers.
Today is the grand court meeting, and all those with titles are present.
Seeing his grandson return to the capital in glory, Duke Dingguo was filled with relief, and the Guo family was also extremely happy. No matter what, half of Xiao Yeyang's blood belonged to the Guo family.
Duke Cheng'en was also looking at Xiao Yeyang, and at the same time he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. His second son had been in Zhongzhou for several years, but he always felt that Xiao Yeyang had not done anything, which led him to make a misjudgment.
Prince Jiang came up to his father and said, "Father, after the banquet is over, should we go and pay our respects to the Queen Mother?"
Duke Cheng En pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go."
Prince Jiang said nothing and retreated to his seat.
Compared to the officials who were all looking at Xiao Yeyang, Yan Zhigao's gaze was on Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai.
Seeing the two of them standing there stupidly, not even following him, Yan Zhigao was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead: "Are these two brats scared silly?"
Yes, he admitted that today's scene was a bit grand, and with so many people watching, stage fright was inevitable.
But even if you are stage fright, don't just stand there. It's too embarrassing.
The Minister of Revenue, who was standing nearby, heard Yan Zhigao's muttering and glanced at him: "Why, do you know those two people?"
Yan Zhigao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir. One of them is my son and the other is my nephew. This is their first time attending such a grand occasion, and they are a little nervous."
Hearing this, the officials nearby all looked over.
The story of Xiao Yeyang had been circulating in the capital for quite some time, and everyone with connections knew about it. However, since the Yan family had two captains of the Jinling Guard, not many people knew about it.
Everyone looked at Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai at the same time.
Why are Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai standing still?
There was no way. When they saw the emperor's face clearly, they felt sick. When they thought about how they had kidnapped the emperor and stuffed a handkerchief into the prince's mouth, they wanted to die so much that they forgot to follow.
Seeing the two men standing still, Eunuch An stepped forward with a smile and said, "Please come in, my two captains!"
Looking at Eunuch An, Yan Wenkai instinctively raised his paw and greeted him: "How are you these days, Eunuch?"
Eunuch An smiled sweetly, "Thanks to the two captains, I am doing fine. In the palace, no one stuffs handkerchiefs into my mouth or pricks my fingers with needles. Life is pretty good."
“Hehe~”
Yan Wenkai grinned awkwardly, turned his head to look at his third brother who was pursing his lips and not saying anything, and finally said with a stiff smile: "It is true that we and the father-in-law are not acquainted until we fight. Knowing each other is destined. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."
Eunuch An smiled even more kindly: "Don't worry, my two captains. With our friendship, I will definitely take good care of you two masters."
Yan Wenkai couldn't maintain the smile on his face anymore and shook his head decisively: "No need to take special care of me, just treat me normally. We can't make it difficult for you, right?"
Eunuch An smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your concern, my Lords. I will know my limits. If I need to take care of you, I must first report to the Emperor."
Hearing this, Yan Wentao couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, you really don't have to be so polite."
Eunuch An waved his hand and said, "It's okay. You two adults still need to take care of them." Then he made a gesture of invitation, "The emperor and the generals have walked away. You two adults, please follow them."
Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao looked at each other, then followed Eunuch An with heavy faces.
No one knew what the three people were talking about, but seeing Eunuch An laughing so happily, they thought the three of them were old acquaintances.
The Minister of Revenue looked at Yan Zhigao and asked, "Do your son and nephew know Eunuch An?"
Yan Zhigao looked bewildered: "You don't know him?"
Sun Chang looked unconvinced: "How could he be so enthusiastically chatting with Eunuch An if he didn't know him? Eunuch An doesn't talk to people easily."
Yan Zhigao: "Maybe it's because of Ye Yang?"
The officials pricked up their ears: "."
Ye Yang?
This name is close enough.
When Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao passed the palace gate, they saw Wei Qi and their cheeks couldn't help but twitch again.
The two men clasped their fists and saluted. Yan Wenkai asked tentatively, "Sir, who are you?"
Eunuch An laughed first and said, "This is the commander of the Imperial Guard, Lord Wei Qi."
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao fell silent and went after the man with numb expressions.
Eunuch An and Wei Qi smiled at each other and said, "These two boys are quite entertaining. We must take good care of them in the future."
