The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Chapter 21

As soon as he heard the thin female voice, Xiao Yanzhi knew that trouble was coming, but it was too late to remind He Yan and Lian Sheng not to stop.

As soon as Lian Sheng heard the voice, he stopped, followed the prestige, and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "Your Highness, it is Concubine Jiang."

Xiao Yanzhi frowned and gave Lian Sheng a sideways look, and said, "Who told you to stop?"

Lian Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi inexplicably.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Xiao Yanzhi sighed, and could only stand still and look at Concubine Jiang, who was leading the guard of honor and came rushing over in a mighty and menacing manner.

When Concubine Jiang approached, Lian Sheng immediately knelt down and bowed his hands, but He Yan just bent down and made a long bow. Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the left and right, weighed it, and waited for Concubine Jiang to stop in front of him, simply made a bow.

"I've seen Concubine Jiang."

"You are..." Concubine Jiang turned her eyes around He Yan and Lian Sheng, and suddenly realized, "You are His Highness?"

"Exactly." Xiao Yanzhi straightened up and smiled, "I was not able to greet Concubine Jiang immediately after entering the palace. Please forgive me."

"Your Highness, you are welcome." With a smile, Jiang Guifei teased, "Your Highness and His Majesty have been separated from his father and son for 20 years. This is the third day of His Highness's entry into the palace. His Majesty must wish to bring His Highness by his side all the time. How can you be willing to share His Highness's time with concubines?"

Concubine Jiang stopped here after inquiring about Xiao Yanzhi's itinerary just because she couldn't wait for Xiao Yanzhi to come to say hello.

After saying this, Concubine Jiang raised her hand, signaling He Yan and Lian Sheng to get up.

"Concubine Jiang was joking." Xiao Yanzhi smiled with embarrassment, "It's because Yanzhi hasn't figured out the rules in the palace, so he doesn't dare to walk around casually. I don’t dare to step into the harem lightly.”

Concubine Jiang blinked, and asked doubtfully: "The General Jiang that His Highness is talking about is Jiang Shan, the loyal general? I remember that His Majesty arranged for him to teach His Highness the art of war in Shenshi. Why did His Highness come so soon?"

Xiao Yanzhi showed annoyance and said: "Before, I was listening to someone's lecture in the Hongwen Museum, but I forgot the time when I listened to it. Although it was too late, I still wanted to apologize to the general in person."

"Your Highness has a heart," Concubine Jiang nodded with a smile, and then said, "But my concubine's younger brother is always punctual, and if he doesn't wait for His Highness, he might have already left. Your Highness, don't rush over. Just send a message and say it."

"Jiang Guifei's younger brother?" Xiao Yanzhi discovered that Jiang Guifei and Zhongwu General Jiang Shan both had the surname Jiang.

Concubine Jiang smiled brightly, and said: "Don't worry about his affairs, I have always wanted to have a good chat with His Highness, but I have no chance, it is rare to meet today, I wonder if His Highness will appreciate it?"

"This..." Xiao Yanzhi was a little embarrassed, "It's not very good, is it?"

He really doesn't want to be alone with this woman, besides, is there anything else they can talk about?

"What's wrong with that?" Concubine Jiang was amused by Xiao Yanzhi's expression, "Your Highness can also call me a concubine, and if the mother and son want to have a chat, who can say anything?"

Xiao Yanzhi laughed dryly.

This was the first time they met, and it was impossible for them to feel like mother and son, so how could they become mother and son?

Concubine Jiang said again: "It's almost time for Shan'er and the others to come to say hello, Your Highness can pass the time as a concubine, how about going to Wangyun Pavilion and sitting for a while?"

Xiao Yanzhi followed Concubine Jiang's line of sight to Wangyun Pavilion on the west side of the sea, and said politely: "Thanks to Concubine Jiang for not giving up, Concubine Jiang please."

Xiao Yanzhi is basically a very personable person. Perhaps it is the family education in his previous life that allowed him to maintain a good upbringing, or maybe it is the habit of taking care of his younger siblings in this life. Xiao Yanzhi is very good at taking care of people, especially women. Xiao Junmeng called this kind of demeanor frivolous, and Xiao Yanzhi was also very troubled by this unconscious behavior of his own. After all, he himself liked men, so it was really not something to be happy about being entangled by women because of this.

I have reflected on it many times, but this habit is still the same. Even when I am with Concubine Jiang at this time, Xiao Yanzhi is still considerate. Whenever there is any stumbling point on the road, Xiao Yanzhi will remind me to go to the water's edge Shi also took the initiative to walk on the side closer to the water, keeping Concubine Jiang on the safe side.

Concubine Jiang didn't feel anything at first, but along the way, Concubine Jiang suddenly felt a feeling of being carefully cared for at a certain moment, and she only felt this feeling in the year when she first met the emperor. For the next ten years, the emperor's care was given to other women, and his son was still a child, and he didn't have the character to care for women at all.

Finally seated in Wangyun Pavilion, Concubine Jiang looked at Xiao Yanzhi and sighed, "Father and son are father and son after all, even if they have been separated for 20 years, they are still so alike."

Xiao Yan was taken aback, but smiled without saying a word.

picture?Does that mean he looks like the emperor?

Concubine Jiang continued: "The concubine has never met the late empress, but judging from His Highness's words and deeds, the late empress must be a gentle and considerate woman, and it is no wonder that her majesty has been thinking about her all the time. Your majesty just told my concubine yesterday that he is very happy." I regret that I didn’t bring the former empress with me back then, otherwise I wouldn’t have ended up in the end where heaven and man are separated forever.”

Xiao Yanzhi didn't quite understand where Concubine Jiang saw her tenderness and consideration, and when she thought about it carefully, she felt annoyed.

When he was walking with Concubine Jiang just now, wouldn't he repeat his old mistakes?It really can't be changed at all, if Jun Meng sees it, he will scold him again.

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head, still smiling without saying a word.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi drooping his head and not speaking, Concubine Jiang frowned slightly, and said again: "By the way, Your Highness has seen Mr. Qin? I heard that Mr. Qin is the cousin of the former empress. It was Mr. Qin who reported to His Majesty a year ago I found His Highness in Jiangnan, His Majesty seems to have rewarded him a lot."

Xiao Yanzhi nodded and said: "Yes, I have seen it when I went to court with my father these few days. Unfortunately, Yanzhi has been living in a foreign land with his mother since he can remember, and has never met any relatives. Remembering our mother and son, I am very moved."

Concubine Jiang sighed again, and said: "It's really embarrassing for Your Highness. Now that I'm in Chang'an, I'll walk around with Master Qin more often, as if I have one more person to rely on, it's better than being alone."

"Jiang Guifei's words are wrong," Xiao Yanzhi immediately retorted, "Now that the father and the younger brothers are all around, and there is a gentle and kind elder like Jiang Guifei who cares about her, it is not like she is alone."

Concubine Jiang's face froze, then she nodded and smiled: "What your highness said is that I just hope that your highness can live in Chang'an City with peace of mind. Your highness has been named the king of Shu. Sooner or later, he will move out of the palace, or he should stay in the palace." Also find someone to rely on outside."

Xiao Yanzhi calmly said: "Yanzhi heard that the prince's palaces are all built together. If they can support each other, it can't be said that they are not relying on each other, right? It's just that Yan's background is reckless, and I'm afraid it will add a lot to the Second Highness in the future. Trouble."

Concubine Jiang's eyes flashed, and she said with a light smile: "Your Highness's words are too outlandish. You are brothers, and you should help each other. Why did you become troublesome? Your Highness is not familiar with court affairs, so feel free to go to Shan'er if you have anything to do." But Shan'er has never seen the world, so he will rely on His Highness for help after leaving the palace."

"I don't dare to help, but if Concubine Jiang and His Royal Highness have something to say, just tell me." Xiao Yanzhi's words can be regarded as showing that he will not be an enemy of Xu Lishan, but Concubine Jiang will take these words Take it as a courtesy or listen carefully, Xiao Yanzhi has no way of knowing.

The two of them were chatting with each other, when the maid next to Concubine Jiang hurried to Concubine Jiang and announced in a low voice that the emperor was leading his two Highnesses and King Wu Cheng to Wangyun Pavilion.

Hearing this, Concubine Jiang Guifei and Xiao Yanzhi looked at each other, tacitly stopped those probing topics.
