The little Fubao in the deserted village made all the dignitaries in the court go crazy with envy

"Second brother?!"

In desperation, Yan Le half leaned out of the window, trying hard to see the figure, while hurriedly calling his other three brothers.

"Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother! Come quickly and look over there! Does that person look like second brother?"

"Where is it!" Yan Xian, Yan Yu and Yan He came over immediately and searched the shore again and again.

Unfortunately, none of the three found it.

Yan Le was so anxious that he almost cried, "I clearly saw it, it was really my second brother, it must be him, I won't make a mistake, my second brother must have come to see us... Why can't I find him!"

The already busy lakeshore was now crowded with people because of the prince's trip, and more people continued to arrive, making it a sea of ​​people.

The shadow that Yanle caught a glimpse of was like a flash in the pan, and when he tried to look for it again, it was gone.

Yan Changqing's seat was at the innermost and uppermost position of the cabin.

But he was always paying attention to the children and naturally noticed something unusual by the window.

Yan Changqing tilted his head and whispered a few words to Cui Qi who was serving beside him, and soon came back to report.

Yan Changqing's eyebrows jumped, "Set up a small cabin, take thirty Jingwei, and search ashore immediately to find the person!"

"Your Highness, this..." Cui Qi looked embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, he leaned over to the prince's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, this matter involves Concubine Yao and the Yuanzheng Bo Mansion. When the emperor learned that the Yao family had taken action against you, he was furious and demoted the second prince to a commoner and expelled him from the palace. If you want to bring him back, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the emperor and the queen."

"If we can find the person, place him with General Xiao first. I will handle other matters. I will go to explain and persuade my father and mother." After a pause, Yan Changqing looked up at Cui Qi and said softly, "Cui Qi, remember, he is my brother."

Cui Qi was stunned for a moment. He bowed respectfully, then left the cabin and took orders to do his job.

He remembered what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

Regardless of whether Yan Yuan is a prince or a commoner, he is His Highness's acknowledged younger brother.

No one should be neglected.

Cui Qi didn't realize that when he walked out of the cabin, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

All we know is that he is blessed because he can serve the prince.

As a slave in this life, I will never betray my master.

Bai Xiang did not go to the window to join in the fun. Relying on the favor of Brother Changqing, he sat at Brother Changqing's feet and ate and drank to his heart's content.

She didn't say much, but just stopped eating and held the boy's hand under the low table.

With the gentle warmth covering the back of his hand, Yan Changqing's frown slowly relaxed.

"Bai Xiang, Brother Changqing, please take some of your blessings. I hope everything will go well."

The little girl tilted her head and said without hesitation, "As long as Brother Changqing can be successful, I will take all my blessings and give them to you!"

Hearing this, the young man couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

What a silly girl.

He does not take the blessings of Baixiang.

He will be the mountain behind her and the shield in front of her, protecting her with long-lasting blessings.

……

On the shore, the thin boy was pushed to the edge by the crowd again and again, tripped, and got up again and again.

Running after the pleasure boat in the crowd, stumbling and bumping.

But he was still too small, too insignificant.

Blocked by the human wall, he couldn't see the scene on the pleasure boat at all.

The people in the painted boat couldn't see him at all.

My strength is gradually running out.

Yan Yuan leaned against the willow trees by the lake and slid down to the ground.

He can’t see his royal brother. He can’t see him.

After a week of cruising the lake, the pleasure boat will dock at the Royal Pier, a place he can no longer enter.

After all, he was too naive.

Yan Yuan looked up at the azure blue sky. The March sunshine was warm and dazzling.

It stung his eyes so much that tears kept flowing.

The people around were discussing the prince's heroic deeds, and the scene was very lively.

But this kind of excitement isolated him and had nothing to do with him anymore.

Yan Yuan wiped away his tears, stood up with the help of a tree trunk, and dragged his extremely tired body towards the outside of the city step by step, never looking back.

The wind blew from behind, ruffling his hair and lifting the hem of his gray cloth clothes, revealing his skinny outline.

This imperial city is lively and prosperous.

Every brick and tile exudes the unique simplicity, heaviness and charm of the imperial city.

Yan Yuan was like a wandering soul, stepping on the blue bricks, turning through the streets and alleys, heading towards the unknown future, but it seemed that he could see the end at a glance.

When I was about to walk out of the last lonely alley, I suddenly smelled a pungent odor.

An arm reached out from behind and covered his mouth and nose tightly with a cloth.

"Ugh!" Yan Yuan struggled hard, but he couldn't break free from the force that was holding him.

He looked up at the azure sky again, until his eyes were stung and tears overflowed, and his eyelids slowly closed.

Today's sunshine is so dazzling...

……

"Can't find it?! Why can't we find it? How can such a grown-up person just disappear like that?!"

In the imperial study, Emperor Hong Jing was furious and threw a memorial, hitting Cui Jing on the forehead.

Cui Jing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! After I sent the second prince out of the palace, I asked someone to send him to a family for adoption. I made careful inquiries about that family beforehand. There are only a couple, no children, and the head of the family is reliable and trustworthy. The woman relies on her husband to earn money to live, so she has no objection to this matter... No one expected that the second prince would suddenly run away in broad daylight and has not returned until now!"

It was only after the head of the household asked someone to report the matter to him that he learned about it.

Cui Jing wanted to slap himself twice at this moment.

The prince was demoted to a commoner, which meant that the second prince would never be able to return to the palace in this lifetime. The queen was extremely disgusted with the Yao family, so he naturally obeyed his two masters.

Besides, he privately favored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he just needed to settle the Second Prince's life outside and deliver the monthly silver on time.

As for other things, avoid them if possible and try not to get further involved.

Now the second prince is missing and his life or death is unknown. The emperor is furious and he cannot escape blame for having been involved in this matter.

"Send someone to look for him immediately! You were too negligent in this matter, and you will be punished later!"

"Yes! I thank you for your grace!"

Cui Jing left in a hurry and asked someone to look for him immediately.

Emperor Hong Jing sat in an armchair with his hand on his forehead, guilt flashing in his eyes.

It is said that the royal family is ruthless, but who is born cold-blooded?

But the temptation of being the emperor and holding the power over the world is too great.

There are very few people who can keep their original heart in this situation, and disputes arise from interests.

The struggle for imperial power was particularly cruel. Anyone who participated would either die or I would die.

Imperial Concubine Yao fought for power with the intention of killing the Crown Prince, so no one around her could be considered innocent.

He felt pity for the child and sent him out of the palace to live an ordinary life as an ordinary person. He thought that this would keep him away from disputes, but he didn't expect that something bad would happen anyway.

You don't want to kill, but someone forces you to raise a sword.

You don't want to fight, but someone forces you to join in the fight.

There are always people who feel unwilling and resentful.

Emperor Hong Jing opened his eyes, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes.

The tightly closed door of the imperial study was pushed open with a creaky sound, and someone walked in.

Emperor Hong Jing raised his head, and the murderous look in his eyes disappeared after he saw who had come in.

"Qing'er, why are you here? Do you want to see your father?"
