, Xiao Yan asked A Li, "Are you afraid of seeing your nobleman later?"

He got off the carriage from the palace gate and walked inside, going to the imperial study and following the road to the harem, Xiao Yan looked at him sideways.

A Li's eyelashes fluttered, and he raised his eyes to look forward.

This is the place where he lived from childhood to adulthood, but now he leaves the palace and then comes back, but there is no tenderness and nostalgia in his heart, only infinite indifference and rejection.

He wanted to say, "How could this prince be afraid of this?"

But the sound stuck in his throat and couldn't get it out.

A Li's eyelashes quivered and slowly lowered, pursing her pale lips without answering.

Afraid, how could he not be afraid.

He was nominally a prince raised under your lord's knees, but in fact he was not as good as the civet cat in your palace. It is fatter than itself, and its round belly sways from side to side like running water when it walks.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the harem, A Li's feet seemed to be stepping on a thin layer of ice, clenching his fingers nervously, his whole heart lifted.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out beside him, grabbing his shoulders irresistibly and taking him into his arms.

A Li leaned over and almost screamed, and looked behind him subconsciously.

Ting Feng and Ah Qing watched their nose and nose and their hearts, respectfully holding the gift box without even a strange expression.

A Li breathed a sigh of relief, and after standing firm, he opened his eyes and turned to look at Xiao Yan, "This is the palace!"

"What's the matter with the palace? I hugged my husband but didn't hug anyone else's husband." Xiao Yan raised his chin slightly and looked resolute, as he said that his arm slid down and put his arms around A Li's waist, strong and domineering, "I will Hug, anyway, His Highness has already married me, he is from my Xiao family, and is my Xiao Yan's husband."

Not only does she want to hug, she also wants to sleep. Sleep every day!

A Li's ears slowly turned red, Xiao Yan's words were like a warm current, wrapped in his trembling heart, and forcefully squeezed the chill out just now.

[My heart is beating so fast. Is she teasing me? ]

[I think she is teasing me! ]

A Li clenched his fingertips, his thick long eyelashes were like a butterfly that was about to fly, gently instigating, biting his lower lip with his teeth, pressing the corners of his upturned mouth.

[I am hers. ]

This knowledge gave Ah Li the confidence from the bottom of his heart, and his back straightened a lot.

He raised his chin and said, "I'm the prince, how can I hug someone in the palace? It's not decent."

[What kind of body do you want! What kind of system do you need if you can't eat enough! ]

Xinyin closed his eyes like a strong man cutting his wrists and roared:

[Hold me, just hug me! Hug me hard! ]

[Those old goblins, I want them to see that someone hurts me! ]

[…But wouldn’t that make me seem unreserved? ]

A Li coughed lightly, stretched out his hand and pushed Xiao Yan away slightly, pulled himself out of her arms, and held her wrist instead, "It's the first time you enter the palace, you must be nervous and scared, it's alright, I'm familiar with me and I'll lead you here. you go."

[Well, that seems more reserved. ]

Xiao Yan's face was agitated, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help turning up, wanting to laugh.

She endured the unpleasantness, looked up and laughed silently, then turned her head with a serious expression and said in agreement, "I head back to the palace, thank you Your Highness for leading the way."

Ah Chen was in a happy mood, and hummed a reserved "um" in his nasal voice.

[Hey, I'm such a clever little ghost~]

Ah she is dead.

Xiao Yan took a deep breath.

How can Ai be so cute! ! !

She misses the day. Him! Right now, the one who can't get out of bed!

Xiao Yan stared at A Li with hot eyes, his breathing was hot. She looked serious on the face, but in fact, the car in her head had already reached the high speed, and she even thought about how to rub A Li against the palace wall beside her.

A Li took two steps, and suddenly felt that the sun seemed to be a little fierce today, burning his ass. His butt hurt. Because of the face and it's not easy to rub with your backhand, just don't squeeze your ass awkwardly. Walk faster.

The fork between the harem and the front court has arrived, and two minions who lead the way stand on the two roads.

A Li is a servant here, and Xiao Yan is a palace envoy.

A Li let go of Xiao Yan, and out of the corner of his eye glanced at the attendant who had his hands folded and bowed his head.

[Wow, I'm afraid of QAQ. ]

Xiao Yan felt soft in his heart, raised his hand to hold A Li's face, and looked down at him seriously, "His Royal Highness has already married a minister, and the minister is there for everything."

[Woo. ]

He hummed in his heart, wanting Xiao Yan to go with him to strengthen his courage.

But Xiao Yan is a woman, and what she wants to see is that the emperor cannot enter the harem.

A Li bit her lip, her long eyelashes fluttered, and said indifferently, "What can I do, don't make people laugh at me."

[Just give me a hug, okay? ]

A Li's fingers secretly grasped Xiao Yan's court clothes and looked up at her. Those well-shaped phoenix eyes stared straight at her, the tea-brown eyes were as clean as amber, reflecting his unease.

Xiao Yan lowered his head and kissed his forehead without hesitation, with a smile in his clear voice, "This minister is a clingy spirit, I can't live without His Highness."

She let go of Ah Li, "I will wait for your highness here to return to the court, and wait for your highness to lead the minister out of the palace."

A Li coughed twice, hiding the blush on his face, "I know, I know."

The two walked separately, the attendant walked silently ahead to lead the way, A Li secretly reached out and touched his forehead, there seemed to be a warm moist feeling left, causing his heart to tremble slightly, and with a blushing face, he retracted his fingers.

It doesn't seem so scary anymore.

A Li breathed a sigh of relief, and walked back to the harem with energy.

Xiao Yan watched Ah Li walk away before looking at the palace envoy who was waiting to guide him, and said with a smile, "I made you laugh."

"Don't dare, it's a good thing that the concubine has a deep relationship with the Tenth Highness." After all, the palace envoy was the person who handled the affairs in front of the royal family, so people couldn't find faults in his words and actions, and he would not despise Xiao Yan just because A Li was not favored.

She bowed slightly and nodded, with a light smile on the corner of her mouth, "Let's go, Consort, His Majesty is still waiting."

Xiao Yan took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the palace envoy's hand calmly, "Come on, feel happy."

The palace envoy tugged at the sleeves with his fingers and covered the silver ingot in the palm of his hand, and the smile deepened at the corners of his mouth, "Is there anything you want to ask the concubine?"

Xiao Yan waved his hand, "Don't think too much, I don't have anything to inquire about, I'm just happy."

Rich and willful.

It was the first time that the palace envoy saw such a simple and unpretentious concubine who gave money to her, and she felt a little good in her heart. She looked at her like a golden ingot moving, hoping that she would be more happy next time.

It's not that Xiao Yan didn't want to ask, but it was because he couldn't get too many useful things out of the palace envoy's mouth.

The emperor has already left the morning court and is explaining things to the courtiers in the imperial study. Hearing that the concubine had entered the palace to thank him, he asked the royal officer to come out to receive him first.

The royal officer was in her forties, a woman with a slightly chubby body and a friendly face. She bowed her waist and walked in front of Xiao Yan, and said politely, "Trouble the concubine and so on, His Majesty is still meeting the courtiers."

Xiao Yan took two steps forward, looked left and right, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into the royal officer's hand. Seeing that she accepted it with a smile, he took a few steps back and bowed, "Thank you, the royal officer for telling me."

Money can turn the devil around.

The royal officer held the gold ingot, and like the palace envoy, his smile became more and more gentle, "Xiaguan will urge your majesty for you."

He turned around and went in. After a while, there was a voice calling Xiao Yan from the imperial study.

Today, the saint is in her forties, with a serious face, and being in a high position all the year round makes her have a temperament that is not angry and arrogant. Xiao Yan raised his head and glanced quickly.

Well, Ah Li is five points similar to her.

There were also foreign ministers in the imperial study room. The emperor did not say to let them go, so they just stood by and watched, waiting for Xiao Concubine to continue discussing the affairs of the state after he left.

"Is it the second daughter of Uncle Xiao?" The emperor raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yan, his tone was calm.

What he said was not A Li's concubine, but Xiao Bohou's daughter. It could be seen that A Li, the prince, had no place in the emperor's heart.

Xiao Yan knelt down and said yes.

For the unfavored prince, even the emperor with his concubine didn't care, and after asking a few simple questions, he wanted to signal her to retire.

Xiao Yan hesitated for a while, but the emperor saw it and asked aloud, "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Yan said, "I want to ask about the Prince's Palace."

She paused, "This matter should not have been mentioned, after all, His Highness the Tenth told the minister that the emperor was busy with such trivial matters and should not be disturbed by these trifles, but the minister felt that he had nothing else, and that there was still some spare money left by his father during his lifetime. , I want to take it out and share the worries for Your Majesty, and repair the Prince Kei's mansion by myself."

The emperor hesitated a little, and glanced sideways at the royal officer next to him. Where does the emperor remember these trivial matters.

The royal officer stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the tenth prince's palace has not yet been decided." The gold ingots in the sleeves were heavy, and she added a few more words, "The consort does not have any officials."

All the princes who marry have the prince's palace, why doesn't the old ten have it?

And the foreign ministers are still watching.

I don't want to be embarrassed?

Of course the emperor wants face, so no matter what, it can't make people think that the royal family doesn't even have the money to repair the prince's palace.

"The Prince's Mansion has been completed, and you will move in after two days' decree." The emperor looked at Xiao Yan, his eyes showing temptation, "It's not a problem for the concubine to be idle at home now, and the Ministry of Household still lacks a servant, I don't know if the concubine is available. Will?"

She picked up the teacup on the desk, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her tone was a little careless.

This is the Taoist proposition.

Xiao Yan's heart was alarmed, and he chose to refuse without hesitation, "I'm not that material, I'm not interested in being an official."

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Then what are you interested in?"

I am interested in your son.

"I like doing business." Xiao Yan looked sincere, "I like counting silver."

This second ancestor.

Several foreign ministers laughed. But thinking about Xiao Yan's grandmother, the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, they are sour again.

Who doesn't like counting silver?

The emperor didn't say good or bad, just nodded slightly as if acquiescing, she went down the steps of Xiao Yan, "Since you don't have this ambition, that's all."

"Go back, treat your tenth highness well, I will not treat you badly." The emperor waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Yan to step down.

I thought that the concubine did not have an official position, so would give more rewards when turned around. After all, it is also the face of the royal family.

Xiao Yan kowtowed and thanked him and stepped out, standing outside the imperial study, the smile on his face was blown away by the oncoming cold wind.

As a modern person, she really doesn't like the feeling of kneeling with people.

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and brushed off the dust that did not exist on his knees, and walked forward with no expression on his face.

The emperor looked down on being in business, so he let her try what real incense was.

The author has something to say: Doubt: Did you kneel before Ah Li?

Xiao Yan: How can it be the same! That's my husband

A Li: Huh~ it's too nauseous

[Don't pity me! I can live with a bit more meaty! ]
