After a fierce competition, the Central Plains royal family finally won a narrow victory in the battle against the Turks. Just as the monarchs, ministers and people on the field cheered happily, setting off waves one after another, the Yang Zhou Dynasty headed by Yang Che all raised their eyebrows.

The clubs in hand collided with the Turkic men's greetings.

When Li Sui and everyone left the field, Fang stopped his horse, and Niannu trotted up happily, saying happily: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the princess, the ball the princess just made was really powerful, it broke our hearts."

I don’t dare to move anymore.”

Hearing this, Li Sui looked back and faced Zhao Yi with a smile, and then threw it easily in his hand. When the jade slave on the side took it, he quickly turned over and dismounted.

"I'm happy today. I haven't played a ball as happily as I did today for a long time. I'll reward you when I get back soon."

Hearing Li Suicai's arrogant tone and looking at her enthusiastic expression, Zhao Yi smiled and threw the club in his hand to Zong Ming, with a hint of unknowing fondness in his eyes.

"I played a good game with the princess today, but is there a reward from me?"

Hearing Zhao Yi interrupt behind him, and looking back to see Zhao Yi's smiling eyes, Li Sui stopped and said, "Okay, anyway, you will be the one to pay for today's reward."

Hearing Li Sui's shameless words, Zong Ming and Yunu couldn't help but lower their heads and smile. Li Sui also returned to the Empress's golden tent in a good mood. After saying a few words to Empress Li, he saw Baoying returning.

.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen."

Seeing Baoying in front of him, Yang Chongyuan nodded, and then heard Empress Li next to her asking with concern: "How is Concubine Xian?"

"Your Highness, please rest assured. Concubine Xian has taken medicine and rested, and her spirits are much better. The imperial doctor has determined that there is nothing serious."

After hearing this, Empress Li breathed a sigh of relief and muttered happily and happily: "That's good."

"Thank you for your hard work today."

Yang Chongyuan looked at Baoying below, with rare kindness in his eyes, and then said to Liu Shoucheng on the side: "Goguryeo paid tribute to celadon and ginseng a few days ago. I will select the best ones and send them to the East Palace."

"This is the tribute from Goryeo to His Majesty and His Highness, my dear minister——"

Seeing that Baoying seemed to be willing to refuse, before Yang Chongyuan could speak, Empress Li comforted her with a smile: "Since your Majesty has given it to you, you two can just accept it."

So Baoying couldn't say anything else, so she accepted it obediently.

"My sons have just won glory for Aye and Aniang. Are there rewards from the sons as well?"

At this moment, Yang Che's pretense of flattery rang out in the tent, and Yang Chongyuan also laughed and said: "Yes, when did I lose your reward——"

In this harmony, Li Sui quietly retreated to Baoying and said, "Did you just go to the Concubine Xian?"

After hearing Baoying's story about Concubine Xian's sudden arrival at the stadium, Li Sui nodded, but found that Baoying beside him seemed a little distracted.

"Why do you look so unhappy?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Baoying suppressed her nervous and messy thoughts, smiled and said reluctantly: "I'm just tired after a long morning, so it's okay."

Li Sui heard the sound and glanced at Baoying, who was indeed a little tired. He didn't ask any more questions, but only warned: "Go back and have a rest soon."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Baoying nodded with a smile, but her heart felt like it was being pressed tightly by stone after stone, and the black hair was so tight that she couldn't breathe.

She knew very well how shocking everything Shangguan Ling said was, and if one more person knew about it, there would only be one more person troubled and one more danger.

Ah Man has helped her too much in the past, and she doesn't want to let Ah Man worry about her anymore, or even fall into another whirlpool.

Baoying spent the whole day in such a muddle-headed manner, and by the time today's bow-shooting feast ended, it was already dusk.

When Baoying returned to the East Palace tiredly, she saw the empty hall and realized that Yang Yanyi had not returned yet.

"Your Highness has not returned yet?"

After hearing Baoying's question, the palace maid already said: "I haven't returned to the Crown Princess, but they will be back in the valley at noon."

Xigu has always been Yang Yan's close friend. When he heard these words, Baoying was a little surprised and sent someone to ask Xigu for questioning.

"Back to the Crown Princess, today I sent your Highness to the Liyuan. His Highness asked me to go back to the palace first and went to the stadium alone. The Crown Princess didn't meet me either?"

Seeing the confused and surprised Xi Gu, for some reason, Baoying's heart sank, and her inner uneasiness became deeper and heavier.

"Go, go and search secretly, see where your highness has gone?"

Almost blurting out, Baoying worriedly ordered her confidants to disperse quietly to look for Yang Yan, but she was also worried, sitting alone in the palace and waiting hard.

The sunset on the horizon is like smoke and veil, outlining a gentle appearance in the blue-rendered twilight.

Faintly, the palace people on duty outside the Zichen Palace saw a figure slowly entering from the palace gate alone, as if he was alone in the world, independent of the gradually deepening night.

When they reached the corridor, everyone finally saw clearly that it was Yang Yan who was wearing a plain sapphire-patterned t-shirt. One by one, they immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Hearing these respectful voices, Yang Yan's steps were heavy, his thoughts were messy, and his mind was blank. Yang Yan finally stopped. When he raised his head and saw the three gilded characters of "Zi Chen Hall", which was awe-inspiring, he nodded silently.

He nodded, and it took a long time for a word to escape from his throat.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Sensing Yang Yan's strangeness, no one dared to raise their heads or ask any more questions. Just when they were about to reply, Liu Shoucheng, who heard the voice, had already walked out of the hall and hurriedly walked down to Yang Yan respectfully.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has asked your servant to invite you in."

Hearing Liu Shoucheng's words, Yang Yan nodded silently, and the next moment he slowly walked in accompanied by him.

When he walked outside the study, Yang Yan walked around the screen and saw his father, Yang Chongyuan, sitting behind the desk under the bright light, looking through stacks of court memorials on the desk.

Hearing Yang Yan enter, Yang Chongyuan did not raise his head or his eyes. His eyes still fell seriously and solemnly on the memorial in his hand. Only in the silence, he heard him say: "Erlang is coming now, but he has something important to report."

?”

"son--"

Sensing the muteness and hesitation in Yang Yan's throat, the cautious Yang Chongyuan's eyes moved slightly, and finally he looked up inadvertently, only to see Yang Yan in front of him with a somewhat defeated expression.

"Aye is busy with government affairs, so my son won't disturb him——"

"It doesn't matter."

Before Yang Yan could finish his words, Yang Chongyuan said calmly: "A gentleman is in charge of everything in the world, so how can he never finish his work?"

"Aye works hard all day long and is so busy at night. It's all his son's fault."

Seeing the humble and polite Yang Yan in front of him, not only his mind was peaceful, but also the night was peaceful. Yang Chongyuan rarely had a calm expression, but like a loving father in the world, he pointed in front of him and said: "Come and sit down, you and I may not have seen each other for a long time.

Speak."

Seeing this, Liu Shoucheng naturally handed the soft mat to the case with great eyes. When Yang Yan bowed again, he knelt down in front of him under the gaze of Yang Chongyuan. It was rare for father and son to be so close to each other at this moment.

, sincerely.

"Although my father doesn't ask too many questions these days, he still sees everything -"

In the silence, Yang Chongyuan was the first to break the silence. He looked at Yang Yan, who was both the legitimate son and the eldest son in front of him and said: "You have done a good job and let the world see the magnanimity that I, the Crown Prince of Daxing, should have."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's praise, Yang Yan raised his head almost in shock. When father and son looked at each other, he saw kindness and satisfaction in his father's eyes that he had never seen before.

It actually made Yang Yan stunned, as if he was in a dream.

Ever since he was a child, his father had never been polite to him, and he had never even seen his father smile at him.

But at this moment, his father, who was already the emperor, praised him.

In silence, Yang Yan lowered his head, clasped his hands tightly, and said with a lump in his throat: "As a prince, my son is frightened, so he can only work hard to share Aye's worries and enrich the people, in order to repay Aye's kindness."

.”

"Um."

Looking at Yang Yan in front of him who was still humble and introspective even though he was the prince, Yang Chongyuan nodded with satisfaction and finally opened the topic: "Why did Erlang come to see me today?"

Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but feel his back stiffen. He noticed that he hadn't spoken for a long time. Yang Chongyuan stared at him silently. Although he didn't ask, he seemed to have understood something, so he looked at Liu Shoucheng who was standing aside and said, "Step aside first."

.”

When Liu Shoucheng bowed respectfully, he slowly withdrew and stood guard outside the door.

The silence in the study suddenly felt like a deep sea, swallowing up Yang Yan's unsettled heart bit by bit.

"I remember that Aye often told his sons about classics and historical essays in the past. Yesterday, my son read "Zizhi Tongjian" and saw that Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty was conquering the world. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional and wanted to ask Aye for advice——"

"oh?"

After hearing Yang Yan's words, Yang Chongyuan's eyes condensed slightly, and facing Yang Yan who was speaking vaguely in front of him, his lips became a little more interesting.

"My son is keen and eager to learn, and his poems are brilliant and outstanding. All the officials and scholars in this dynasty praised him. Today, it is rare for me to discuss the history of the previous dynasty with my father. It is very good——"
