Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Prince Qing soon learned about Xiao Zuochen's return to Wangyan City, and he was a little anxious. Although Lao Liu had told him before that he didn't want to take the throne, Lao Liu must have sensed the danger and fled the palace at this moment, so he needed to find out Lao Liu's attitude, otherwise he would never be able to beat him.

As for Beiguan, Xiao Zuoqing really felt like he was being cursed. Except for the first two days when he arrived, everything went smoothly. There was always a group of villagers pestering him for trivial matters. Whenever he found some useful clues, they would be cut off quickly. He had never doubted his ability so much.

However, what he didn't know was that along with his letter, there was another one.

"Little Dust~

Long time no see, I wonder if you missed me? I heard that you have returned to Wangyan City safely, that's great! I was originally planning to go back a few days ago to welcome you with Sister Wei Yang, but it was all your elder brother's fault. After he came to Beiguan, he messed around there, which caused the dissatisfaction of the one in Tai'an City, and he sent his men to Beiguan to watch him. On the one hand, I have to deal with those people who sneaked into Beiguan as spies, and on the other hand, I have to deal with all kinds of messes left by your elder brother. It's really busy every day! After I settle the affairs of Shenyin Pavilion in the next few days, I will go to play with you~

Your favorite Yao

Xiao Zuochen closed the envelope, shook his head in disgust, and smiled. Chu Yao is still the same Chu Yao~

Put down Chu Yao's letter and open another one.

"Sixth brother,

Long time no see. How are you doing?

Since the death of my father, I was exiled to the North Gate, and you, my sixth brother, were placed under house arrest in the palace. We have been separated by thousands of miles. Now I heard that you secretly escaped from the palace and returned to Wangyan City. The emperor has also issued a summons for this. I wonder if you are safe in Wangyan City?

I know that I am not capable enough and was unable to help you before. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best!

Take care.

"Xiao Zuoqing"

After reading Xiao Zuoqing's letter, Xiao Zuochen looked out the window. It was the New Year, but Wangyan City was like spring in winter, and the scenery outside the window was still colorful.

"I guess it should be snowing in Beiguan."

Xiao Zuochen sighed, threw Xiao Zuoqing's letter aside, and was about to open the door to go out and see the scenery outside.

As soon as the door opened, Yun Feng rushed over. He said with great interest, holding a transparent bottle in his hand.

"Master! Look what this is!"

Xiao Zuochen took a look and frowned.

"A bottle of water? It's not full yet, but the bottle looks nice."

Xiao Zuochen answered Yun Feng very seriously. But Yun Feng looked as if he was saying "you are wrong" and took out a letter from his pocket with a smile.

"Is this your letter?"

Xiao Zuochen asked curiously.

"No, no, no, this is still the master's letter. I guess Master Chu wrote a letter and found that he couldn't perfectly express his love for his lover, so he wrote another one!"

Xiao Zuochen took the letter with a puzzled look on his face, and found that the letter was not painted. Seeing Yun Feng's smirk, he couldn't help but ask.

"You peeked?"

Yun Feng's expression instantly became serious, and he quickly shook his head and waved his hands to indicate that he didn't.

Xiao Zuochen still looked at him with suspicion, and finally opened the letter and read it.

"Xiao Chenchen~it's still me!

I was looking at the falling snow outside just now, and suddenly I remembered that it must be spring all year round over there, with no snow to see, so I thought of filling a bottle of snow for you to see. Although this bottle of snow will surely melt when it is sent to you, you can smell the scent of the snow water, and this half bottle is enough to make tea once.

My servant ran too fast, and I didn't have time to give him the bottle of snow. I had to send another servant to deliver the letter.

You are thinking of Yao~"

Before he finished reading the letter, Xiao Zuochen couldn't help but start twitching at the corners of his mouth. He looked up at Yun Feng, who was grinning and looking at the letter in Xiao Zuochen's hand with his chin up. Xiao Zuochen was so angry that he couldn't help but kick him on the butt.

"You said you didn't peek, but you can't even suppress your smile!"

Although peeking is immoral, Yun Feng still dodged the kick from his master, and then ran away directly, not forgetting to put the bottle of melted snow water on the ground before running away. Xiao Zuochen picked up the bottle of water, couldn't help but curl his lips, and then went into the house.

That night, Wei Yang returned to the mansion and had dinner with Xiao Zuochen. This was the first time Wei Yang had dinner with Xiao Zuochen, except for the welcoming banquet on the first day of Xiao Zuochen's return. They hadn't seen each other for three or four days. In this huge city lord's mansion, Xiao Zuochen was the only one who had dinner with him every day.

As for Concubine Yun and the others, Wei Yang really listened to Xiao Zuochen's words and let them be self-reliant. For this purpose, she specially asked the servants in the mansion to buy a batch of fertile soil and turned the land of a small courtyard in the west. She also bought some food seeds and let them grow their own food. Although Concubine Yun does not know martial arts now, Xiao Zuochen still sent Yunqiao and Yunbai to watch them in turn. There are guards patrolling inside and outside the city lord's mansion, and everyone in Wangyan City can detoxify some simple poisons, so there is no need to worry that the two of them will do anything secretly.

"I've been busy with official duties recently and haven't had time to come back to have meals with you. Are you used to living here, Ah Chen?"

Wei Yang was dressed as the city lord and looked a little tired, but he still looked at Xiao Zuochen with concern.

Xiao Zuochen has lived here for a few days, but he didn't feel any discomfort. He has successfully contacted Mr. Ying, Chu Yao, and his forces in Wangyan City. Even Xiao Zuoqing sent him a letter, so there really is nothing wrong. Moreover, he was originally thinking about how he would get along with his elder sister after coming here. After all, his elder sister is nominally his wife, and he is afraid that she will have some expectations of him. And the absence of his elder sister these days has made him less worried. It seems that his elder sister has no such intention towards him.

"Of course I'm used to it. After all, I've lived in the City Lord's Mansion before. Now I feel like I'm at home living here."

Wei Yang smiled with relief when she heard him say that. She knew Xiao Zuochen would have a lot of concerns about the marriage, so she deliberately left home early and came back late these days to avoid the two of them running into each other.

During the whole dinner, Wei Yang only briefly chatted with Xiao Zuochen about the interesting things that happened in the past two days, and then hurriedly ended the dinner and said that he had to get busy with official business. Xiao Zuochen naturally nodded and asked her to go about her business, but he felt a little strange in his heart, because he seemed to be always busy in the past, and every time he saw Wei Yang, she looked calm and peaceful. Now, she is so busy that she is nowhere to be seen, and he spends every day drinking tea and appreciating flowers, which seems to be a life of returning to the countryside in advance.

But when Xiao Zuochen wasn't paying attention, Wei Yang secretly observed him for a while, then turned around and walked west.
