Xue Yan finally sat at the dining table of Jun's family.

However, Mrs. Jun's face was cold, and Jun Huailang sat beside him, not daring to say more, only looked at Xue Yan a few times when he came in.

Xue Yan did spend a solid morning sunbathing outside. His complexion was not white at all, and at this time he was still a little red, with some light sweat hanging on it, as if he had just come off the battlefield.

Jun Huailang glanced at him more and heard Madam Jun's voice clearing her throat.

Jun Huailang had to withdraw his gaze.

The Jun family was silent, but Jun Linghuan recognized Xue Yan and jumped up and said, "Brother Fifth Prince! Ling Huan is good - I haven't seen you for a long time!"

Xue Yan lowered his head, raised his hand and touched the top of her hair, showing her a rare soft smile: "Well, you've grown taller."

Madam Jun's eyes were on him.

"Since His Royal Highness King Guangling is here, take a seat," she said.

Xue Yan smiled lightly, and sat down obediently at the bottom.

Madam Jun didn't speak, she moved her chopsticks first. Everyone started to eat silently, and they were silent for a meal, and they ate without saying a word or sleeping.

After the people took down the food and served tea, Mrs. Jun opened her mouth and asked Ling Huan to take a nap first.

However, Jun Huailang and Xue Yan were left behind.

"I haven't asked the prince to come to the humble house early in the morning, what is the important thing. I also asked the prince to explain it earlier. After the matter is done, let's go quickly."

Mrs. Jun picked up the teacup and said slowly.

"Since Madam asked this question, she must know what I'm here for." Xue Yan said.

"Yesterday's accident, although it has been dealt with, but I am still not at ease, so I will take a look."

He paused, glanced at Jun Huailang, and finally looked at Madam Jun calmly, and said, "But Madam can definitely see that I am a drunkard and not drinking."

He spoke candidly, without the slightest bit of shyness.

Madam Jun squatted down, and then a look of anger appeared on her face.

"King Guangling's actions are too irresponsible." She put the teacup on the table and said bluntly. "You are the king of a country, so naturally you can do whatever you want. You are not afraid of ridicule from the world, and you don't have to have any scruples. But Huailang is different. He can't stand your teasing. If you really treat him a little bit. Feelings, it's better to let him go in advance."

Mrs. Jun spoke very frankly and did not show any fear.

However, when Xue Yan heard this, he straightened his expression, with no joke on his face, and looked at Madam Jun solemnly.

"Ma'am, I don't mean to play with Huai Lang at all," he said.

Madam Jun said: "Then you should at least consider him. Now I won't go around with you, and everyone in the court knows that you want to inherit the great line. A country cannot be without a monarch, and a monarch cannot be without heirs. You are planning to let If Huailang is a concubine in the harem, will he still be accused by the courtiers for the rest of his life, saying that he bewitched the emperor?"

Xue Yan shook his head.

"I have refused," he said.

Madam Jun was taken aback.

"Yesterday, the queen mother mentioned this to me." Xue Yan looked at Jun Huailang and said. "After I have revealed to my father and mother, I have someone I like, and I can't be this emperor."

Jun Huailang was stunned, and Madam Jun was also stunned.

Jun Huailang couldn't help but said, "How can this be possible? Who else can sit in that seat besides you?"

Xue Yan didn't hesitate: "There are so many people who can sit, not less than one of me."

Jun Huailang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

He firmly believed in his heart that Xue Yan would never do anything to disappoint him, but he did not expect that Xue Yan would use such a decisive way.

Although he did not step onto the throne in his previous life, the situation in his past life and this life is completely different.

The Xue Yan in the previous life was a tyrant who could control the child's night cry, but now, he is the only one who can inherit the great lineage and is the most justifiable person.

Xue Yan looked at Mrs. Jun, who was stunned in place.

"What's more, while the father is still there, it's uncertain whether the disease can be cured or not. Since then, I have many younger brothers, and I can always choose someone who can inherit the father's mantle. I have discussed it with the father, and now I will temporarily manage the government for him, but I will not be the prince, nor will I seize the throne."

"you……"

"I have no interest in the power of the world." Xue Yan said. "Giving up Huailang for these, I will never do it."

Madam Jun opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Xue Yan looked at her with certainty, and continued, "I know that Madam can't accept it, and she doesn't mean to persecute. Madam doesn't see me today, so I'll just wait at the door. After that, Madam still doesn't accept me, and I can still wait."

Madam Jun looked at him.

He saw indescribable firmness flashing in his light-colored eyes that are unique to foreigners.

"I didn't mean to coerce you," he said. "It's just that I'm not very promising, and I've only identified Huai Lang in my life. Apart from him, I can have nothing, and I don't want anything."

After speaking, he was not in a hurry, just sat in the same place and looked at Madam Jun quietly.

Madam Jun didn't speak for a moment.

After a long while, she said lightly, "If there is nothing else, just ask King Guangling to go back."

Xue Yan responded, stood up, saluted and backed out.

Before leaving, he glanced at Jun Huailang.

There was only a fleeting glance, and there was no superfluous expression on his face. But with just one look, Jun Huailang was completely relieved.

He knew that Xue Yan was telling him, don't worry, he will handle everything.

——

That night, before Jun Huailang went to sleep, he went to Madam Jun's main courtyard again.

Mrs. Jun, still not asleep, was sewing needles in front of the lamp. Although these little things didn't need her to bother, but over the years, she had the habit of making four seasons underwear for Duke Yongning by herself.

Even if Yong Ning Gong works outside, it is no exception.

Seeing Jun Huailang coming in, Madam Jun glanced at him and let him sit down in front of him.

"I've never seen you come to find your mother so diligently before." Mrs. Jun's work continued, and she skillfully sewed fine stitches. "I really can't help my mother, and my heart runs away with others."

Jun Huailang laughed.

"The son is just worried. Xue Yan speaks straight and makes his mother angry," he said.

Mrs. Jun glared at him: "Why, the name of King Guangling was also called by you casually?"

Jun Huailang only laughed when he heard the words.

After a while, Madam Jun sighed.

"When your father comes back, I will punish you," she said.

Jun Huailang nodded: "Of course I should be punished."

Mrs. Jun raised her hand and poked him in the forehead: "I know the punishment should be done? I don't know where I learned badly."

Saying that, she withdrew her hand, and the work in her hand stopped.

"He doesn't seem like a rhetoric," Mrs. Jun said.

Jun Huailang said with a determined smile, "Of course not."

Mrs. Jun glanced at him: "How many years have you lived, what do you understand?"

Jun Huailang stood up and sat beside Mrs. Jun.

"Nature is not as transparent as my mother," he said. "But mother knows that over the past two years, someone has been framing my father, making my father almost die in Jiangnan?"

Madam Jun frowned and her expression became serious. She put down her work and looked at Jun Huailang: "What's going on?"

Jun Huailang said: "The Xu family had a plan in Jiangnan for a long time. They wanted to trap Jiang Xiang, but the one who went to Jiangnan became the father. Therefore, this game has become a game for the father."

He was concise and to the point, and told Madam Jun everything about the turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, corruption, floods and epidemics.

The more Mrs. Jun listened, the tighter her brows became, and her subordinates could not help but wrinkle the cloth in her hands.

"Then how did you and your father perceive it and how did you solve it?" she asked.

Jun Huailang shook his head.

"Son naturally does not have such ability." He said. "It's Xue Yan."

Mrs. Jun was silent.

Although she didn't know anything about Jiangnan, she knew what happened in Beijing.

A few months ago, the king of Guangling, who was in the limelight in the court, was suddenly sent to the south of the Yangtze River. Not long after, the king of Guangling arrested Shandong officials and returned to Beijing. He brought back a lot of evidence and found a huge Ink greed case.

And what was stolen was the food that was supposed to be shipped to Jiangnan for disaster relief.

Mrs. Jun would not understand that what Xue Yan did was for the Jun family.

"Also, my mother didn't know that when my son went to Yangzhou with his father, Xue Yan once saved a life," he said.

Madam Jun looked at him.

Jun Huailang smiled: "Speaking of which, Xue Yan saved me more than once. But that time, a rock collapsed on the side of the mountain road, and I was buried under the rock."

Madam Jun was shocked.

After listening to Jun Huailang, he continued: "Xue Yan had nothing to do at the time. He rescued his son and protected him in a depression on the side of the mountain. The son was unharmed, but he was almost not rescued."

He looked at Mrs. Jun.

"At that time, as soon as I raised my hand, I could feel the back of his head. It was all blood and wet," he said.

Mrs. Jun's eyes have gradually turned red.

Jun Huailang's hand was on the back of her hand, clasping her hand in the palm of his hand.

"Mother, when I tell you this, I don't mean that Xue Yan has any kindness to us, nor is it that I like him because of this," he said. "I just want to reassure my mother that Xue Yan is very reliable, and you don't have to worry about him."

Madam Jun was silent for a moment, raised her hand and wiped her eyes, wiping away the tears from her eyes.

"...These things, you don't tell me." She whispered.

Jun Huailang said with a smile: "My mother is so far away, how can I make you worry? Now that my son has returned safely, I dare to tell you these words."

Madam Jun sniffed.

Jun Huailang could clearly see her moving face.

After a while, Mrs. Jun whispered stubbornly: "However, people will always change, you can't hope, he has been like this all his life."

This is why Mrs. Jun is stubborn.

At the beginning, she and Duke Yongning were in love with each other. Although she had never met before the marriage, after the marriage, she knew that although this person was taciturn, he was an extremely reliable person.

Although Duke Yongning is taciturn, he never speaks of love lightly, but he treats his wife well, and he has never even accepted a concubine.

Mrs. Jun knows best that although people are changeable, it is difficult to change their character and essence.

Jun Huailang also laughed when he heard this.

"My son can guarantee that he will not change." He looked at Madam Jun and said firmly. "Even if there is such a day, the mother does not have to be afraid. He and I are both in love with each other, and we are equal, not who depends on the other. Even if there is a day, you don't have to worry about your son."

Mrs. Jun knew that although her son looked good-natured, he was actually very opinionated.

After a while, she poked Jun Huailang in the forehead as if to relieve her hatred.

"I can't help my mother when I'm too old, I really can't help my mother when I'm too old," she said. "Forget it, if he comes tomorrow, I won't stop him."
