Dangerous Intimacy [Quick Transmigration]

More than half a month later, Xia Mingyu's birthday came as scheduled, but considering that the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was just held, everything in this birthday banquet was kept simple, more like a family banquet, and most of the people who were invited were from the past to fight together family or relatives.

The day before yesterday in the Chongyang Festival, there was a torrential downpour in the capital, and it never stopped all day long.Therefore, Xu Yang had no choice but to delay his plan to take Xiao Yanchen to the suburbs to climb high.

The Xu family has a field halfway up the mountain, and has planted peach and pear trees all over the slope, and it is harvest time recently.Xu Yang took his men to climb the tree all morning, and hurried back to the mansion at the end of the hour, put on the dress for the banquet and entered the palace.

The chariots and horses were driving on the main road, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the magnificent sunset glow pierced through thousands of clouds.Borrowing a little light, Xu Yang carefully peeled the picked pears, cut them in half, and handed them to Xiao Yanchen beside him.

Qin Jingyuan saw how careful he was in the middle, looked outside, and said: "Mother knows that you seldom run horses recently, Chen'er is old enough to ride a horse, you don't need to be so pampered."

Xu Yang raised his head, and said "Oh", "Ten wilds are not tame, I am too excited to return to Beijing, let's let it sit for a while. As for Chen'er - I have sent people to the northwest to find a few docile little horses." Horses, bring them back with the military affairs, and pick them out slowly.”

After listening, Qin Jingyuan paused for a long time, carefully looked at the other party's softened temperament and no longer sharp eyebrows, and said, "Yang'er's temper has changed. He used to be so meticulous and sometimes impatient. Your father always said that you are young and vigorous. Looking at it now, I am too stable, I can find a daughter-in-law for my parents."

"Ah?" Xu Yang thought he had misheard, and did not realize it until Qin Jingyuan repeated the last sentence, "Yang'er didn't think about it, she's still young."

He expressed his attitude tactfully, but Xiao Yanchen lowered his head and his face sank.

Qin Jingyuan disapproved, and persuaded, "This time is actually just right. You will stay in Beijing for a long time. When you return to the border, your wife will continue to teach Chen'er. If you can have a child next year, the family will be even more lively. Yes. Of course, Mother is just reminding you that she will never force you, or else I will meet some daughters of the Duke's family and make some ordinary friends."

"Yang'er, I've thought about what to do at home after returning to the northwest. As for the contacts between several families..." Xu Yang noticed that the pear's juice was about to flow down, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief and put it on Xiao Yanchen's thigh At the end, he continued: "Arranged by A Niang, it's not a bad thing at all."

Yan Chen: "..."

Unknowingly, the setting sun was blown away by the night, and the sea of ​​stars flooded the sky.

Under the guidance of the guiding eunuch, the Xu family walked through the bustling pavilions and walked to the most densely lit palace.They walked around the imperial garden, and a figure jumped out from the darkness.

"Your Highness, Prince!"

Xu Yang, who was at the front, sensed the other party's breath in advance, and pulled Xiao Yanchen closer to him, but did not make any emergency response. "What's the matter with the minister before the banquet, Your Highness?"

Xia Chen carefully recognized the people present, and lowered his voice: "Let's talk about it elsewhere." Xu Yang nodded to his parents behind him, and followed him to the side path.

There are few people on this road, and the bushes grow lushly. After walking for dozens of steps, Xu Yang patted off the grass leaves that got on his clothes, and said, "It's almost far enough, and Chen'er will be tired after walking again."

"Take him with you wherever you go now." Xia Chen turned around, and after observing the surrounding area, he went on to talk about the matter: "I got the news that the congratulatory gifts from the second brother and mother's house tonight are from The chariots and horses of Kongchi City in the northwest."

Xu Yang paused when he heard this, and tightened his eyebrows.Kongchi City was handed over to Wala during the previous dynasty, and it was the lost land he only regained a few months ago.However, at that time, the three armies were all together, and he was in charge of taking advantage of the victory to pursue and drive the enemy out of another ten miles in one fell swoop.

One of the three armies at that time did have the second prince's mother's family, that is, the Yueyang Zhong family who barely competed with the Xu family in court.

"I think about it, it was... Zhong Hao who followed into the city at that time." Xu Yang narrowed his eyes like a deep pool, with the chill of the night, "At that time, there was an old general there, so I didn't care too much about it. Lai Pi who snatches military merits. His family’s soldiers are going to do something secretly, and it’s really difficult to deal with now—so what did the Zhong family send?”

"I sent people to sneak closer, and it seems that I heard the roar of the tiger." After Xia Chen finished speaking, he rolled his Adam's apple worriedly.

"Northwest..." Xu Yang thought for a while seriously, "It's probably a Rob tiger, which is quite precious. But after all, it was born in the wild. Although it is small in size, it still has great endurance and cannot be underestimated."

"That's right, it's nothing more than giving away some pets. The Zhong family must have another purpose for releasing that beast that has been hungry for a few days in the hall." Xia Chen became more panicked as he spoke, "Cousin, you have to protect me , I’m really afraid that they want me to be accidentally eaten by a tiger, and then replace me as the crown prince.”

Xu Yang took a breath, thought for a moment calmly, and said: "You are not far from His Majesty, they should not dare to take such risks, besides, there are so many generals attending the banquet. I am just afraid that things are not that simple, Zhong Hao, who got the title of general because of his elder brother, as far as I know, is quite capable of causing trouble."

Halfway through speaking, Xu Yang looked up at the opposite person who was about to withdraw, and sighed, "I said a while ago that I can't write the word 'lose', and I'm afraid that the other party will let a beast go?"

"I'm not afraid, it's just that my second brother has often provoked me recently, so I can't help it." Xia Chen paced back and forth, straightened his back again, "As long as I have the protection of your cousin, I will have the confidence. Let's go!" He said Stepping back, he called the servant who was standing in the distance to hold the lamp, "I want to see what kind of moth he wants to fix."

Behind the layers of towering walls is another prosperous Jinhui Palace.This small group of people had just turned back to the avenue when they ran into the emperor's mighty guard of honor.

"Your Majesty is safe."

After everyone saluted one after another, they became nervous at the very beginning of Xia Chen, but explained in a panic: "Father, my son just met my cousin, and I wanted to catch up with the past before the banquet, so I went to the side to enjoy the sunset." .”

Xia Mingyu glanced at it for a while and saw that the setting sun was gone and the sky was full of stars. He breathed out an emotionless breath and said, "You two always like to get together in private. It's not that I don't know. In the palace, what are you shying away from? Are you saying My bad words?"

"How dare I, my son, I won't have any objections to my father." Xia Chen became even more anxious, eagerly looking to the people beside him for help.

Xu Yang sighed silently in his heart, paused for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince was just asking what birthday gift I gave you, so I wasted some time." As soon as it was bright, he was about to blurt out something bad again, so he hurriedly grabbed the other party's back, and continued: "His Royal Highness is very concerned about the presents for His Majesty this year, and now he finds that what he prepared is nothing new, and he is distressed, and finally meets Your Majesty again, Even more ashamed."

"Chen'er can think of any new ideas, I can guess." Xia Mingyu saw Xia Chen's cheeks suddenly flushed, as if he felt ashamed of being exposed in public, and suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "It's good if you want it, don't worry too much Something in this kind of ceremony."

Immediately afterwards, he changed the subject: "It's Feiqing, what gift do you want to give me to make Chen'er scratch like this?"

"Your Majesty, it's a sweaty horse, the magic knife enshrined by the first fierce general of Wala, and a pot of wine." Xu Yang paused, and raised the corners of his lips, "This wine was prepared by my minister and old general Mu before returning to Beijing. It's not easy to get it with punches."

Xia Mingyu completely understood the origin of the wine in an instant, and said with sincere joy: "It's Lao Mu's most precious wine. I haven't had a few sips in all these years of fighting, and it's thanks to you that you can bluff him into losing the wine. I can't wait. , Hurry up and start the banquet."

People around smiled and echoed a few words, and some began to praise the emperor's bravery back then.At this time, Xia Mingyu, who had been smiling all the time, finally looked down and saw Xiao Yanchen who was quietly hiding behind Xu Yang.

In an instant, even though he was still laughing, Xu Yang felt the stagnation of the atmosphere.

He looked at those cold golden eyes in the dark, and said, "Like his father, he is a good-looking talent." His eyes gradually shifted to Xu Yang, and the vague killing intent disappeared, "Fei Qing is well-raised, it's the first time I see you. When he was, his eyes were blind, but now he looks like a child. Sure enough, he should be rich if he looks so handsome."

Xu Yang responded as if he didn't see anything, and when he lowered his head to hold the person, he was also full of pure joy, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty, I feel the same way."

"It's almost time to prepare for the banquet." Xia Mingyu quickly turned his head away, ordering the chief eunuch behind him.When he turned back, his face became gentle and amiable again, "I heard that the Zhong family sent a large gift from the northwest all the way, and Fei Qing can compare with it."

"Okay," Xu Yang grinned, "Wei Chen can't wait."
