For a month, Zhao Ying stayed at Yan Luan's house every night, and stayed in Yan's mansion during the day, and only asked people to send some urgent official affairs to Yan's mansion for processing.On this day, the steward of the Wangfu finally came to Yanfu, saying that there are many things in the Wangfu waiting for Zhao Ying to decide.Only then did Zhao Ying reluctantly go back with the housekeeper, and before leaving, she said to Yan Luan, "I'll be back in the evening, and I'll have dinner with you." Yan Luan nodded and said with a smile, "My lord, go quickly."

Just as Zhao Ying left, an uninvited guest walked into Yan Luan's study, knocked on the half-open door, and said with a smile, "Brother Ling'an, you only read and compose poems every day, so you are very carefree."

Yan Luan looked up and saw that it was a Qing guest from the palace, named Zhang Jinguang.Then he put down the book, got up and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang is here to look for the prince. The prince just returned to the palace with Steward Lu."

Zhang Jinguang said with a smile: "I came here specially to visit Brother Ling'an, and it's not just me. The concubine and the eldest son are also here. Brother Ling'an, let's go out and greet him."

Yan Luan was stunned for a moment, then he changed his mind, did this princess come to Xingshi to inquire about her crimes, she didn't have time to think about it, so she followed Zhang Jinguang to welcome her out.I saw a beautiful woman, not wearing the clothes of the princess, but only wearing ordinary clothes, getting off the carriage, and I saw the servant woman in the carriage carrying out a four or five-year-old white and tender baby.Yan Luan guessed that this was Zhao Chi, the son of King An.

Yan Luan knelt down to pay respects and said: "Yan Luan, a grassroots man, has seen the princess."

The concubine returned a half-respect to Yan Luan, saying: "My lord, please get up quickly. I came here very abruptly this time, and I have something to ask my lord."

Zhang Jinguang also hurriedly pulled Yan Luan up, and said, "Brother Ling'an, please let the princess and the prince go in and talk."

Yan Luan let a few people into the study, and because Mrs. Liu asked for leave again that day, she poured tea for them by herself.

The princess looked at a sword hanging in the study, and said, "This is the prince's favorite sword." She also looked at the paperweight on the desk, and said, "This paperweight is the old prince's favorite thing, and I gave it to the prince. Afterwards, the prince took it to Beijing and used it for ten years. Later, I brought it back, but I have never seen it again. I asked the prince twice, but the prince only said that he could not find it, but it turned out to be with Lord Yan."

Yan Luan just didn't know how to answer Wang Hao's words, but fortunately Wang Hao has changed the subject and said: "Master Yan, I am here this time, I really have an unfeeling request, and I hope you will fulfill it." Then he turned to Zhao Chi and said: " Chi'er, quickly kneel down to Lord Yan."

That Zhao Chi obviously listened to his mother very much, so his small body knelt down in front of Yan Luan.

Yan Luan also knelt down in a hurry, and said: "My son, please get up." Then he said to the princess: "Cao Min is a dismissed official and returned to his hometown. If you have any orders, as long as the grass people can do their best, the grass people will never dare to delay."

The concubine did not ask Zhao Chi to get up, but said: "In that case, I will call you sir. Mr. Yan, you know that although Chi'er is a descendant, he is not the eldest son. The prince did not follow the ancestral system until he was four years old. I made him the crown prince. The two elder brothers above Chi'er are both in their teens, and they have been able to share the worries of the prince in many matters. I have never been valued by the prince. Chi'er is burdened by me, and I am not for the prince I am happy. Now Chi'er is five years old, which is the age of enlightenment, but the palace has found a few gentlemen, who are either mediocre or arrogant. I mentioned it to the prince several times to choose a good one for Chi'er. A gentleman with both ability and political integrity, the prince just said that Chi'er is still young, and he will pay attention to the matter of asking him. I know that Mr. Yan is the champion of Shunkang for 23 years. He was once the teacher of the current emperor, and he is also the prince... My best friend, if Mr. Yan is willing to accept Chi'er as a student, he will be the great benefactor of our mother and son, please Mr. Yan agree."

Yan Luan never expected that the concubine would make such a request, he was slightly stunned, then kowtowed and said: "The concubine has a life, and the grassroots dare not postpone it. It's just that the grassroots can only read some pedantic books. When the grassroots were officials, they first passed through the prison Later, he was dismissed from his job and ransacked his family. In the end, he was dismissed as an official and returned to his hometown. The grassroots really have no virtue and talent, how can they teach the prince? The grassroots really dare not obey orders.”

The concubine showed an anxious look, and said: "Mr. Yan, I'm telling you the truth. The reason why I brought Chi'er to beg Mr. today is not only because I have admired Mr.'s talent and knowledge for a long time, but also because Mr. is the confidant of the prince. Among the princes, Chi'er is the youngest. The youngest, not to be liked by the prince, and my mother's family has lost power. Seeing that Chi'er's position as the heir is about to be lost, our mother and I will end up dead without a place to bury. Mr. Ru is willing to accept Chi'er My son is a student, maybe the prince can take care of Chier for the sake of my husband. Sir, the lives of our mother and son are all at the mercy of my husband, please save our mother and daughter."

Yan Luan said: "The princess is too worried, the prince is not a fool."

The concubine said sadly: "Of course the prince is not confused, but he never cared about our mother and child." Then she said to Zhao Chi: "Chi'er, quickly kowtow to sir." Zhao Chi kowtowed to Yan Luan, and It was one after another, each time was extremely serious, and did not dare to slack off at all.

Yan Luan knelt down and took a few steps, hugged Zhao Chi and said, "My son, please stop doing this."

Zhao Chi took advantage of the situation and put his arms around Yan Luan's neck, and buried his small head into Yan Luan's shoulder socket, and his small body was all attached to Yan Luan's body.Yan Luan froze for a moment, the feeling of being totally dependent on someone was too familiar, so familiar that even after more than ten years, it still made him feel warm, and he refused to give up.

But the princess said again: "Mr. Yan, my father is Xu Zhi, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War. During the coup d'état in the ninth year of Xintai, my father, my brothers, and even some relatives of our family were all taken care of without reason. Charges. In the lightest cases, he was dismissed from his job and ransacked the house, and in the severe cases, he was sent into exile. My father died of a sudden illness in a fit of anger, and now my mother's family has fallen to the point of relying on the support of the prince's family."

The more Yan Luan listened, the more her heart ached.I was the initiator of that coup, and I don't know how much blood and tears I owe.Now that the creditor is coming to his door, how can he escape.

Sighing secretly, Yan Luan pushed Zhao Chi away and helped him stand upright.He also said to the princess Xu: "Since the princess will not give up, Caomin is willing to teach his son what he has learned all his life."

Xu's face showed joy, and she said to Yan Luan: "Sir is my mother and son's benefactor from now on, sir, please sit up and let Chi'er greet you properly."

Yan Luan didn't delay any longer, got up and sat down.

Zhao Chi knelt down in front of Yan Luan and kowtowed three times to Yan Luan. Yan Luan hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile, "Quickly, son."

Xu said: "Sir, you should also call Chi'er by Chi'er's name in the future, and don't treat Chi'er as your son. If Chi'er makes a mistake, you can beat him and scold him as well."

Yan Luan said with a smile: "The prince looks very well-behaved, how could he make mistakes."

The author has something to say: I read the book review of "Rain Soul and Cloud Soul" before, and everyone had a lot of debates about whether Zhao Ying got married. I think it would be too strange if Zhao Ying is not married because of Zhao Ying's identity and age.I think as he is the son of Prince An, when he got married, he should have met Yan Luan before he got married.
