The prince is not doing his job [traveling]
Chapter 67
The emperor stayed up all night because of Xu Liqian's matter. The emperor was thinking about what to do after Xu Liqian was caught, and also thinking about how to arrange Xiao Yanzhi's future. The woman who knew him best thought that if his wife and Xiao Yanzhi had been by his side all the time, he probably wouldn't be in the situation he is today.
Thinking about it, the sky will dawn.
The emperor drank a cup of refreshing tea, and then Zhao Kang served him and changed his clothes. During this process, Pei Ze and Xu Lishan came to the Hall of Liangyi at the time that never changed, and greeted the emperor.
Looking at the two empty seats, the emperor couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Leading Pei Ze and Xu Lishan to the early court, the emperor sat on the dragon chair with an indifferent face and listened to the ministers chattering about Xu Liqian.
The Jiang family said that Xu Liqian should be arrested and executed immediately, but some ministers who had a good relationship with the Yun family came forward and said that the matter has not yet been clarified. For this matter, Xiao Yanzhi was pointed at.Of course, most of the courtiers remained silent as before, trying to protect themselves wisely until the situation became clear.
From the beginning to the end, the emperor didn't say a word, and all the rebuttals and arguments were made by Pei Ze and Xu Lishan. The only thing that comforted the emperor this morning was Xu Lishan's defense of Xiao Yanzhi.
When he had heard enough and seen enough, the emperor announced his retirement.
Regarding Xu Liqian's matter, the opinions of these ministers are not important to him at all. He has already made a decision in his heart, and no matter what anyone says, it will not change.
Then he took Pei Ze and Xu Lishan back to the apse of the Hall of Liangyi, and when he reached the middle of the veranda, the emperor heard the laughter coming from the front yard of the apse. The laughter was so familiar that the emperor couldn't help but reveal There was a smiling face, but the smiling face disappeared in an instant and turned into a worried face.
"Pei Ze, why is Yanzhi in the palace?"
Pei Ze lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I don't know what to say to His Majesty."
Xiao Yanzhi followed him into the palace early in the morning, but he went to the Wanchun Hall after entering the palace, probably slipped in when they left the back hall of Liangyi Hall to go to court.
"You don't know?" The emperor turned his head and stared at Pei Ze displeasedly, and said, "I entrusted Yanzhi to you to protect, but you don't know why he appeared here?"
"Your Majesty forgive me."
Pei Ze immediately knelt down.
Anyway, whether he knows it or not, His Majesty will blame him. If he said that he brought the man, then His Majesty must warn him, tell him, and ask him not to bring Xiao Yanzhi into the palace again. If you can't do it, let Xiao Yanzhi take the blame. Anyway, His Majesty knows that no one in this world can control Xiao Yanzhi.
Sure enough, the emperor just glared at Pei Ze, and then hurriedly approached the apse of Liangyi Hall.
Xu Lishan helped Pei Ze up, and complained, "Xiao Yanzhi thought that after Xu Liqian left Chang'an City, his crisis would be resolved? His legs and feet won't stop him from running around!"
Pei Ze gave a dry cough, and followed the emperor into the apse without saying anything.
When he stepped into the front yard of the apse, the emperor saw Xiao Yan who was sitting in a wheelchair smiling like a spring breeze. At this time, he was manipulating the wheelchair to walk out of various crooked routes in the yard. The eunuchs and maids were all smiling, until they saw the emperor standing at the gate of the courtyard, the eunuchs and maids suppressed their smiles and bowed respectfully to the emperor.
Only then did Xiao Yanzhi notice the emperor.
Lian Sheng was clever, and immediately pushed Xiao Yanzhi to the emperor.
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said to the emperor: "Father, you have worked hard. Did anything interesting happen in the court today?"
"What interesting things can happen in the morning?" The emperor looked at the wheelchair, then at Xiao Yanzhi's legs, "Where did you get such a thing?"
"A gift from a friend." Xiao Yanzhi patted the wheel on one side and asked, "Isn't it interesting?"
The emperor smiled, and then waved back the winning streak. He personally went around behind Xiao Yanzhi, pushed Xiao Yanzhi to turn around, and then walked slowly towards the imperial study.
"You entered the palace with this thing? Did you fall on the way?"
"I didn't fall." Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips and said complainingly, "Brother Yi has arranged a lot of people to follow me, and it's difficult for my son to fall even if he wants to."
The emperor gave Xiao Yan a helpless look, and said: "Pei Ze arranged people to follow you to protect your safety, but you are lucky, not only did not hide, but also ran around with a large group of people. But there are still injuries, can't you let me feel at ease?"
Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the emperor, and said with a smile: "My son is so restless, can the emperor feel at ease if he doesn't see his son with his own eyes?"
The emperor raised his hand and patted Xiao Yanzhi's head, then asked, "What's the matter with you entering the palace?"
"It's nothing." Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head and fiddled with his sleeves, "I just wanted to ask Xu Liqian if he found it."
When they reached the door of the imperial study, Pei Ze and Xu Lishan hurried forward to help the emperor carry Xiao Yanzhi into the house.
Feeling himself swaying for a while, Xiao Yan said with a proud face: "I am afraid that I am the only one who can be carried away by the emperor, King Wu Cheng and King Qi together in the whole Tang country."
The emperor smiled and said, "You are not the only one who can be carried away by your father and brothers together in the Tang Dynasty."
Hearing these words, Xiao Yanzhi's heart warmed up, his head drooped slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.
After entering the imperial study, Xiao Yanzhi was silent, just sitting quietly, listening to the emperor, Pei Ze and Xu Lishan discussing countermeasures one by one.Xiao Yanzhi also wanted to participate, but when it came to marching, fighting and arranging troops, Xiao Yanzhi could only listen.
When it was time for lunch, Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze and Xu Lishan all stayed in Liangyi Hall to eat with the emperor. After lunch, the emperor let Pei Ze leave and also drove away Xiao Yanzhi. Xu Lishan.
Pushed by Pei Ze to walk slowly in the palace, Xiao Yanzhi was able to walk slowly in the palace for one time, finally able to take a good look at the scenery of the palace city from the middle dynasty to the front dynasty.
"Are you going to the northwest?" Xiao Yanzhi couldn't get in the way when he was in the imperial study, but he could still understand what the emperor said to Pei Ze and Xu Lishan.
"Well, I'm going." Pei Ze nodded.
They can't wait for the Northwest Army to take action before responding. The emperor means to let him take the first step to control the Northwest Army. After all, the Northwest Army often fights the Turks because it is next to the Turks. It is owned by all parts of the country. The only team in the garrison with rich actual combat experience, if they really wait until the Northwest Army sends troops to Chang'an, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Isn't it too late to go at this time? If Xu Liqian really went to the Northwest to join the Northwest Army, he must have arrived by now. Even if he didn't go to the Northwest, he would definitely send a message to the Northwest Army. The Northwest Army originally looked down on the father and emperor who was born in the south of the Yangtze River. Once someone instigates him, he will probably turn against him. Wouldn’t it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger if you go at this time? It’s better to send troops to Chang’an as soon as possible to strengthen the defense.”
Pei Ze moved one hand to Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and Xu Lishan are sitting in Chang'an, and there are already cronies who have brought soldiers amulets to send troops to rescue the emergency, but your Majesty wants to avoid war as much as possible. No war , as long as we catch Xu Liqian beheaded to show the public, the world will be at peace, it can be said that we are sure to win, but once the war starts, the situation will change rapidly, and what His Majesty is most afraid of is that the Turks will also get involved."
Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath and asked, "Did Turkic people disrupt the situation back then?"
"Of course, the Turkic people will never let go of any opportunity to benefit from the Tang Dynasty." Up to now, Pei Ze still doesn't like the Turkic people.
"Either you risked your life to negotiate with the Northwest Army in order to seek peace in the world, or did the two armies fight with countless casualties?" Xiao Yanzhi sighed, "I really hate such things."
Although there are other possibilities, Xiao Yanzhi can't think of a way to lead the ending of this matter to other possibilities. It seems that Pei Ze and the others can't think of other ways, and they don't have so much time to spend Carefully consider and measure.
Pei Ze squeezed Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "It's not as serious a problem as you imagined. Even if the Northwest Army wants to rebel, I'm just negotiating as a messenger."
"Aren't the two armies going to fight?" Xiao Yanzhi sneered and said, "You have to make sure that your opponent is an upright person like you."
Without words to refute, Pei Ze could only remain silent, and Xiao Yanzhi followed suit, and the two returned to Prince Wucheng's mansion all the way without words.
At this time, Liu Hanqing was sitting in the main room of Prince Wucheng's mansion, being interrogated by Xiao Chunyue alone.
"Young master Liu is Yanzhi's friend?" Sitting on the seat next to Liu Hanqing, Xiao Chunyue looked sideways at Liu Hanqing, smiling like a flower.
There was cold sweat on Liu Hanqing's forehead, he pretended to be calm and smiled back at Xiao Chunyue, and replied: "Yes, I met Lingdi by chance, and we became good friends as soon as we saw each other."
"Then Mr. Liu is also from Jiangnan?" Xiao Chunyue lifted the teapot and poured a bowl of tea for Liu Hanqing.
Liu Hanqing hurriedly picked up the cup to catch the tea, and then said with a smile, "Exactly, my father was doing some small business in Hangzhou when his ancestral home was in Xizhou."
Xiao Chunyue turned her eyebrows and asked again: "How did the young master meet Yanzhi?"
Liu Hanqing glanced at Xiao Chunyue, and then asked: "Does Miss Xiao want to know about Yanzhi, or about you?"
Xiao Chunyue was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a coquettish smile: "Master, you are joking, it's for no reason, why would I want to find out about your son?"
Liu Hanqing pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed dryly.
As a man who wants to marry Xiao Junmeng, he has already been interrogated by Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng. Ever since he knew that Xiao Chunyue was also in Chang'an, he was ready to be interrogated by Xiao Chunyue, but with Xiao Yanzhi The straightforwardness of the three brothers was different, and Xiao Chunyue's oblique way of inquiring made him really at a loss as to what to do.Can he bluntly tell all about his family background?
Liu Hanqing was in a difficult situation, when he saw the disciples of Prince Wucheng's residence leading the three of Xiao Ren'an and his sister over, Liu Hanqing hurriedly stood up and strode forward to meet them.
"Ren'an, are you here again?"
Suspiciously looking at Liu Hanqing, Xiao Ren'an nodded with a warm smile and said, "After finishing what the young master told me, I brought Xiangsheng and Jun Meng to see my brother."
After answering Liu Hanqing's words, Xiao Ren'an slightly nodded at Xiao Chunyue again: "Sister, where's brother?"
As soon as Xiao Ren'an asked about Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Chunyue rolled her eyes and sighed, "That brother of yours, who is lame and dishonest, went to the palace with King Wu Cheng early in the morning."
"Entered the palace?" Xiao Ren'an frowned, turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiangsheng and Xiao Junmeng, "Then when will he be back?"
Xiao Chunyue looked at the three of Xiao Ren'an again, and said, "I didn't say that, but you will always come back at lunch, right? If the three of you are not busy, why don't you stay and wait for a while?... It seems that I shouldn't say that."
Saying that, Xiao Chunyue glanced awkwardly at Li An, who was always by the side.
Li An showed a smile and said, "Miss Xiao, don't mind, just feel free."
These brothers and sisters of the Xiao family almost regarded Wucheng Prince's Mansion as their own home, and took care of each of them at will. Their prince intends to indulge, what can he say?
Xiao Chunyue laughed dryly twice in embarrassment, but still lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief and remained silent.
"Brother Hanqing, are you coming to see my brother too?" Xiao Junmeng walked to Liu Hanqing's side, looking up at Liu Hanqing with a smile on his face.
Liu Hanqing smiled, raised her hand to stroke Xiao Junmeng's head and said, "Well, I have something to tell your brother."
Xiao Junmeng curled her lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it too easy for brother to order you around? Brother Hanqing, you can just ignore him."
Xiao Xiangsheng chuckled and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Jun Meng, do you dare to say that in front of brother? Beware of crying for you!"
Xiao Junmeng immediately raised his elbow and turned Xiao Xiangsheng, staring at him and said: "Don't complain to brother!"
Xiao Xiangsheng said with a sinister smile: "It depends on my mood."
"You!" Xiao Junmeng stared at Xiao Xiangsheng and said, "If you dare to complain to brother, I will cry for you!"
Liu Hanqing didn't say anything, just stood behind Xiao Junmeng, looked at Xiao Xiangsheng with a pleasant smile, and raised his hand by the way, making a gesture of wiping his neck.
Seeing this posture, Xiao Xiangsheng stopped teasing Xiao Junmeng, and gave up: "Yes! Your tears are precious. If I make you cry, how many people will chase me and beat me."
After the words were finished, Xiao Xiangsheng shook his head and walked to Xiao Ren'an's side, still muttering, not knowing what he was talking about.
Xiao Junmeng stared at Xiao Xiangsheng's back, and said bitterly: "My brother's indecency can be learned by the third brother!"
"Don't be angry," Liu Hanqing raised his hand and patted Xiao Junmeng's back to help Xiao Junmeng calm down, "Your third brother is teasing you."
Just as they were talking, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze came back. As soon as they entered the door, they were startled by the lively scene in the main room. Pei Ze patted Xiao Yanzhi on the shoulder and went to the backyard.
"I said, do you think this is your home?" Xiao Yanzhi twitched his lips as he looked at the four and a half Xiao family members who occupied the main room of Prince Wucheng's mansion.
"Brother!" Upon hearing Xiao Yanzhi's voice, Xiao Junmeng immediately turned his head and stared at him, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of your injuries? Brother, don't you want that leg?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, even if that little bone can't grow back, my leg won't be useless either."
"elder brother!"
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yanzhi immediately conceded defeat when Xiao Junmeng raised his voice, "I'm recuperating, and I'll recuperate at ease from tomorrow on, okay?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Junmeng just gave up.
Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng again, and said with a smile: "I know you are worried about me, but this is the Wucheng Palace of Wu Chengwang, what do you look like when you run here every day? Young Master Yan didn't give you any Arrange things to be done? I can put my ugly words up front, and if Young Master Yan doesn't do what he told me well, I will punish you all."
"Brother, don't worry," Xiao Xiangsheng said with a smug smile, "We have done everything that Young Master Yan told you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Yan."
"Really so capable?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows.
"Of course!" Xiao Xiangsheng patted his chest and said, "Then don't see whose siblings we are, which one of our Xiao family is not capable?"
Amused by Xiao Xiangsheng's smug look, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "I can't do anything wrong if I stay in Prince Wucheng's mansion. There are a lot of people watching me recuperate, and my injury can't heal. You don't have to." I come every day, the affairs of the Yan family are not so easy, take a good rest when you have time, I still have my sister here, but you, although I want you to do things well, don't be brave, think clearly about what you should do What not to do, what you can do and what you can't do, don't make me worry, and don't cause trouble for Young Master Yan.
Ren'an, when I'm not around, you are their eldest brother, you must not be indulged in what should be restrained, especially Xiangsheng, this kid has a lot of crooked ideas. "
After hearing Xiao Yanzhi's words, Xiao Ren'an stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and then asked worriedly: "Brother, are you alright?"
"What can I do?" Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "I'm just saying that you should not take Young Master Yan's care as a reason to relax, there is no one in Yan's mansion who is as free as you to go wherever you want Where? When did you see Tang Shuo running around? When you were still in the Yan family, just be a Yan family and don't embarrass me."
The three brothers and sister Xiao Ren'an looked at each other, then nodded and said: "Understood, brother."
Xiao Junmeng pouted, and asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Brother, then every ten days... no, no, no, let's visit you every seven days, okay?"
"Not good," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "Twice a month."
"Then, then I won't go back to Yan's house, okay?" Xiao Junmeng ran to Xiao Yanzhi and squatted down, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yanzhi pitifully.
"Not good," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head again, "You have to start well and finish well when you do something, and finish what you decide to do. Did I say that?"
Xiao Junmeng nodded, and said aggrievedly: "I said it, but I'm worried about my brother..."
"Do I need you to worry?" Xiao Yanzhi flicked Xiao Junmeng's forehead with his fingers, and then said with a smile, "There are already enough people who take care of me, you girl can be yourself with peace of mind." It's something. And don't you still see me twice a month?"
"That's enough!" Xiao Junmeng looked at Xiao Yanzhi dissatisfied.
Xiao Yanzhi teased on purpose: "Isn't that enough? Let's do it once a month."
"Brother!" Xiao Junmeng stared.
"Otherwise once every two months?"
"Hmph! Twice a month is twice!" He slapped Xiao Yanzhi's leg angrily, and Xiao Junmeng stood up and walked out.
Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng were at a loss for a moment.
Xiao Yanzhi waved his hands with a smile, and said: "Go back, don't make things difficult for Young Master Yan."
"Understood, brother." Brother Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng agreed in unison, and then hurried to chase after Xiao Junmeng.
After the three little ones had left, Liu Hanqing asked, "What? Is the situation not good?"
Xiao Yanzhi's smile turned into a faint smile, and he said, "This is not something you should worry about. What can you do to come to me?"
With a flash in Liu Hanqing's eyes, he suddenly picked up the teacup on the side, and took a look at Xiao Chunyue, and then said to Xiao Yanzhi, "Can't I come and see you if I'm fine? I don't need to worry about anyone's position."
After receiving Liu Hanqing's hint, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Then come and have a chat with me. Come and help me push it. Although this thing is convenient, if you push yourself, you will be exhausted!"
Liu Hanqing stood up and walked behind Xiao Yanzhi, pushing Xiao Yanzhi to the front yard.
Seeing that no one was chatting, Xiao Chunyue also stood up, turned around and went to the backyard to find Xiushui.
Hearing the footsteps behind them getting farther and farther away, Xiao Yanzhi and Liu Hanqing turned their heads and looked back at the same time, making sure that Xiao Chunyue had gone far away, so Xiao Yanzhi asked, "Is there any news from the Chen family?"
"Yes, it's not far away, in Luozhou."
"Luozhou?" Xiao Yanzhi turned cold.
It's not far away, but he can't go at this time.
Turning her head to look at Xiao Yanzhi's profile, Liu Hanqing asked, "Do you want me to do it for you?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and refused: "No need, it's more sincere for me, the eldest man, to do things like debt collection."
"But the king of Shu will go out in person, won't he be too flattering to the Chen family?" Liu Hanqing laughed.
"How could that be?" Xiao Yanzhi sneered, "That's the former benefactor of the Xiao family."
Liu Hanqing shrugged and said, "You are the eldest man, so you can decide what you say."
Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said again: "Thank you for this time, I don't have anything to do here anymore, and you don't have to come to Wucheng Palace often, help me take care of Junmeng."
Liu Hanqing frowned: "Can you do it alone?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "I'm not alone. Besides, if I really need your help, I will definitely send someone to find you. I won't be polite to anyone."
Liu Hanqing hurriedly echoed: "Well, they are all from my own family, so why not be polite."
Xiao Yanzhi endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back. He held the wheel of the wheelchair and turned it backwards forcefully. The wheelchair moved back a little without leaning to one side, and one wheel just happened to hit Liu Hanqing's foot.
Liu Hanqing's face twisted in pain, and he hurriedly pushed Xiao Yanzhi away: "This thing is for your transportation, not for you to hurt others."
Xiao Yanzhi smiled triumphantly: "We can't waste any function. Take it slow and don't give it away."
Looking at Xiao Yanzhi who was slowly moving towards the backyard, Liu Hanqing's teeth itch with hatred.
Thinking about it, the sky will dawn.
The emperor drank a cup of refreshing tea, and then Zhao Kang served him and changed his clothes. During this process, Pei Ze and Xu Lishan came to the Hall of Liangyi at the time that never changed, and greeted the emperor.

Liu Hanqing hurriedly picked up the cup to catch the tea, and then said with a smile, "Exactly, my father was doing some small business in Hangzhou when his ancestral home was in Xizhou."
Xiao Chunyue turned her eyebrows and asked again: "How did the young master meet Yanzhi?"
Liu Hanqing glanced at Xiao Chunyue, and then asked: "Does Miss Xiao want to know about Yanzhi, or about you?"
Xiao Chunyue was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a coquettish smile: "Master, you are joking, it's for no reason, why would I want to find out about your son?"
Liu Hanqing pulled the corner of her mouth and laughed dryly.
As a man who wants to marry Xiao Junmeng, he has already been interrogated by Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng. Ever since he knew that Xiao Chunyue was also in Chang'an, he was ready to be interrogated by Xiao Chunyue, but with Xiao Yanzhi The straightforwardness of the three brothers was different, and Xiao Chunyue's oblique way of inquiring made him really at a loss as to what to do.Can he bluntly tell all about his family background?
Liu Hanqing was in a difficult situation, when he saw the disciples of Prince Wucheng's residence leading the three of Xiao Ren'an and his sister over, Liu Hanqing hurriedly stood up and strode forward to meet them.
"Ren'an, are you here again?"
Suspiciously looking at Liu Hanqing, Xiao Ren'an nodded with a warm smile and said, "After finishing what the young master told me, I brought Xiangsheng and Jun Meng to see my brother."
After answering Liu Hanqing's words, Xiao Ren'an slightly nodded at Xiao Chunyue again: "Sister, where's brother?"
As soon as Xiao Ren'an asked about Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Chunyue rolled her eyes and sighed, "That brother of yours, who is lame and dishonest, went to the palace with King Wu Cheng early in the morning."
"Entered the palace?" Xiao Ren'an frowned, turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiangsheng and Xiao Junmeng, "Then when will he be back?"
Xiao Chunyue looked at the three of Xiao Ren'an again, and said, "I didn't say that, but you will always come back at lunch, right? If the three of you are not busy, why don't you stay and wait for a while?... It seems that I shouldn't say that."
Saying that, Xiao Chunyue glanced awkwardly at Li An, who was always by the side.
Li An showed a smile and said, "Miss Xiao, don't mind, just feel free."
These brothers and sisters of the Xiao family almost regarded Wucheng Prince's Mansion as their own home, and took care of each of them at will. Their prince intends to indulge, what can he say?
Xiao Chunyue laughed dryly twice in embarrassment, but still lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief and remained silent.
"Brother Hanqing, are you coming to see my brother too?" Xiao Junmeng walked to Liu Hanqing's side, looking up at Liu Hanqing with a smile on his face.
Liu Hanqing smiled, raised her hand to stroke Xiao Junmeng's head and said, "Well, I have something to tell your brother."
Xiao Junmeng curled her lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it too easy for brother to order you around? Brother Hanqing, you can just ignore him."
Xiao Xiangsheng chuckled and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, Jun Meng, do you dare to say that in front of brother? Beware of crying for you!"
Xiao Junmeng immediately raised his elbow and turned Xiao Xiangsheng, staring at him and said: "Don't complain to brother!"
Xiao Xiangsheng said with a sinister smile: "It depends on my mood."
"You!" Xiao Junmeng stared at Xiao Xiangsheng and said, "If you dare to complain to brother, I will cry for you!"
Liu Hanqing didn't say anything, just stood behind Xiao Junmeng, looked at Xiao Xiangsheng with a pleasant smile, and raised his hand by the way, making a gesture of wiping his neck.
Seeing this posture, Xiao Xiangsheng stopped teasing Xiao Junmeng, and gave up: "Yes! Your tears are precious. If I make you cry, how many people will chase me and beat me."
After the words were finished, Xiao Xiangsheng shook his head and walked to Xiao Ren'an's side, still muttering, not knowing what he was talking about.
Xiao Junmeng stared at Xiao Xiangsheng's back, and said bitterly: "My brother's indecency can be learned by the third brother!"
"Don't be angry," Liu Hanqing raised his hand and patted Xiao Junmeng's back to help Xiao Junmeng calm down, "Your third brother is teasing you."
Just as they were talking, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze came back. As soon as they entered the door, they were startled by the lively scene in the main room. Pei Ze patted Xiao Yanzhi on the shoulder and went to the backyard.
"I said, do you think this is your home?" Xiao Yanzhi twitched his lips as he looked at the four and a half Xiao family members who occupied the main room of Prince Wucheng's mansion.
"Brother!" Upon hearing Xiao Yanzhi's voice, Xiao Junmeng immediately turned his head and stared at him, "Didn't I tell you to take good care of your injuries? Brother, don't you want that leg?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "It's okay, even if that little bone can't grow back, my leg won't be useless either."
"elder brother!"
"Okay, okay," Xiao Yanzhi immediately conceded defeat when Xiao Junmeng raised his voice, "I'm recuperating, and I'll recuperate at ease from tomorrow on, okay?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Junmeng just gave up.
Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng again, and said with a smile: "I know you are worried about me, but this is the Wucheng Palace of Wu Chengwang, what do you look like when you run here every day? Young Master Yan didn't give you any Arrange things to be done? I can put my ugly words up front, and if Young Master Yan doesn't do what he told me well, I will punish you all."
"Brother, don't worry," Xiao Xiangsheng said with a smug smile, "We have done everything that Young Master Yan told you. If you don't believe me, you can ask Young Master Yan."
"Really so capable?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows.
"Of course!" Xiao Xiangsheng patted his chest and said, "Then don't see whose siblings we are, which one of our Xiao family is not capable?"
Amused by Xiao Xiangsheng's smug look, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "I can't do anything wrong if I stay in Prince Wucheng's mansion. There are a lot of people watching me recuperate, and my injury can't heal. You don't have to." I come every day, the affairs of the Yan family are not so easy, take a good rest when you have time, I still have my sister here, but you, although I want you to do things well, don't be brave, think clearly about what you should do What not to do, what you can do and what you can't do, don't make me worry, and don't cause trouble for Young Master Yan.
Ren'an, when I'm not around, you are their eldest brother, you must not be indulged in what should be restrained, especially Xiangsheng, this kid has a lot of crooked ideas. "
After hearing Xiao Yanzhi's words, Xiao Ren'an stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and then asked worriedly: "Brother, are you alright?"
"What can I do?" Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "I'm just saying that you should not take Young Master Yan's care as a reason to relax, there is no one in Yan's mansion who is as free as you to go wherever you want Where? When did you see Tang Shuo running around? When you were still in the Yan family, just be a Yan family and don't embarrass me."
The three brothers and sister Xiao Ren'an looked at each other, then nodded and said: "Understood, brother."
Xiao Junmeng pouted, and asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Brother, then every ten days... no, no, no, let's visit you every seven days, okay?"
"Not good," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "Twice a month."
"Then, then I won't go back to Yan's house, okay?" Xiao Junmeng ran to Xiao Yanzhi and squatted down, raised his head and looked at Xiao Yanzhi pitifully.
"Not good," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head again, "You have to start well and finish well when you do something, and finish what you decide to do. Did I say that?"
Xiao Junmeng nodded, and said aggrievedly: "I said it, but I'm worried about my brother..."
"Do I need you to worry?" Xiao Yanzhi flicked Xiao Junmeng's forehead with his fingers, and then said with a smile, "There are already enough people who take care of me, you girl can be yourself with peace of mind." It's something. And don't you still see me twice a month?"
"That's enough!" Xiao Junmeng looked at Xiao Yanzhi dissatisfied.
Xiao Yanzhi teased on purpose: "Isn't that enough? Let's do it once a month."
"Brother!" Xiao Junmeng stared.
"Otherwise once every two months?"
"Hmph! Twice a month is twice!" He slapped Xiao Yanzhi's leg angrily, and Xiao Junmeng stood up and walked out.
Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng were at a loss for a moment.
Xiao Yanzhi waved his hands with a smile, and said: "Go back, don't make things difficult for Young Master Yan."
"Understood, brother." Brother Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng agreed in unison, and then hurried to chase after Xiao Junmeng.
After the three little ones had left, Liu Hanqing asked, "What? Is the situation not good?"
Xiao Yanzhi's smile turned into a faint smile, and he said, "This is not something you should worry about. What can you do to come to me?"
With a flash in Liu Hanqing's eyes, he suddenly picked up the teacup on the side, and took a look at Xiao Chunyue, and then said to Xiao Yanzhi, "Can't I come and see you if I'm fine? I don't need to worry about anyone's position."
After receiving Liu Hanqing's hint, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Then come and have a chat with me. Come and help me push it. Although this thing is convenient, if you push yourself, you will be exhausted!"
Liu Hanqing stood up and walked behind Xiao Yanzhi, pushing Xiao Yanzhi to the front yard.
Seeing that no one was chatting, Xiao Chunyue also stood up, turned around and went to the backyard to find Xiushui.
Hearing the footsteps behind them getting farther and farther away, Xiao Yanzhi and Liu Hanqing turned their heads and looked back at the same time, making sure that Xiao Chunyue had gone far away, so Xiao Yanzhi asked, "Is there any news from the Chen family?"
"Yes, it's not far away, in Luozhou."
"Luozhou?" Xiao Yanzhi turned cold.
It's not far away, but he can't go at this time.
Turning her head to look at Xiao Yanzhi's profile, Liu Hanqing asked, "Do you want me to do it for you?"
After thinking about it, Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and refused: "No need, it's more sincere for me, the eldest man, to do things like debt collection."
"But the king of Shu will go out in person, won't he be too flattering to the Chen family?" Liu Hanqing laughed.
"How could that be?" Xiao Yanzhi sneered, "That's the former benefactor of the Xiao family."
Liu Hanqing shrugged and said, "You are the eldest man, so you can decide what you say."
Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said again: "Thank you for this time, I don't have anything to do here anymore, and you don't have to come to Wucheng Palace often, help me take care of Junmeng."
Liu Hanqing frowned: "Can you do it alone?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "I'm not alone. Besides, if I really need your help, I will definitely send someone to find you. I won't be polite to anyone."
Liu Hanqing hurriedly echoed: "Well, they are all from my own family, so why not be polite."
Xiao Yanzhi endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back. He held the wheel of the wheelchair and turned it backwards forcefully. The wheelchair moved back a little without leaning to one side, and one wheel just happened to hit Liu Hanqing's foot.
Liu Hanqing's face twisted in pain, and he hurriedly pushed Xiao Yanzhi away: "This thing is for your transportation, not for you to hurt others."
Xiao Yanzhi smiled triumphantly: "We can't waste any function. Take it slow and don't give it away."
Looking at Xiao Yanzhi who was slowly moving towards the backyard, Liu Hanqing's teeth itch with hatred.
