As soon as Xie Yan and Luo Junyao stepped into the second gate of the Queen Mother's Palace, they saw a small figure rushing out of the hall like a cannonball and heading straight towards them.
It is none other than Xie Cheng, the current king of the Dasheng Dynasty.
"Uncle Emperor!" Xie Cheng happily ran towards Xie Yan.
"Your Majesty." Xie Yan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice.
"Huh?" Xie Cheng stopped a few steps away from Xie Yan, looking up pitifully at his uncle who was much taller than him, "Uncle..."
Xie Yan said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten all the rules taught by Tai Tu?"
"Oh." Xie Cheng was a little frustrated, but the emperor's uncle was still so serious.
Luo Junyao looked at the little emperor standing there pitifully and felt some sympathy in his heart. People like Xie Yan were not really easy-to-like elders for children. He was so happy just now, but now he was shocked by his words.
Withered.
Just as he was about to say something, Eunuch Huang had already caught up with him and said with a smile: "I respectfully welcome the prince and Miss Luo. Your Majesty heard that the prince and Miss Luo were here, so he hurriedly came out to greet the prince."
Seeing Xie Cheng's appearance, Xie Yan felt a little soft-hearted and said in a gentler voice: "A Cheng, don't run around when you are still young. If you fall, you will be in pain."
Xie Cheng's recovery ability is very strong. After hearing this, he knew that the emperor's uncle cared about him and did not dislike his poor etiquette. His face lit up again in an instant, "A Cheng knows this and will never run around again."
Looking at Luo Junyao standing next to him, Xie Cheng asked, "Uncle Huang, is this A Cheng's little aunt?"
Xie Yan chuckled lightly, looked at Luo Jun, shook his head and said, "Yes, this is Ah Cheng's little aunt. She is..."
Xie Cheng said: "I know that the imperial grandmother told A Cheng that my little aunt is the daughter of General Luo. General Luo has made great achievements in bringing peace to the world. He is a great hero!"
On the night of the palace banquet, Luo Junyao found it interesting to see Xie Cheng trying his best to pretend to be young and mature. After all, he was not even a teenager but a child.
Seeing his lively and cheerful appearance now, I just feel that this child is even cuter.
"I have met Your Majesty." Luo Jun said with a smile.
Xie Cheng also said quickly: "A Cheng has met my little aunt."
Luo Junyao was helpless. She and Xie Yan were not married yet. Was it too early to call her aunt?
Next to him, Eunuch Huang smiled and said: "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are waiting for Prince Wang and Miss Luo in the palace. Please invite me."
Xie Cheng happily approached Luo Junyao and whispered: "Little aunt, Acheng will take you to see the imperial grandmother."
Although he is the emperor, what can a child of six or seven years old know? Although Luo Junyao is good-looking, his appearance and temperament are not aggressive, and he has the kind of appearance that both the elderly and children will like very much.
Therefore, Xie Cheng was very fond of Luo Junyao as soon as he met her. He was even more convinced that this little aunt would definitely become his talisman in front of the emperor's uncle in the future.
Luo Junyao raised his head to look at Xie Yan and found that Xie Yan was also looking at her with a faint smile in his eyes.
Eunuch Huang stood aside and looked at the two of them with a smile, and thought to himself: It seems that the Empress Dowager can really rest assured.
"Your Majesty, Luo Junyao, comes to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager." Stepping into the palace, Luo Junyao respectfully saluted the Empress Dowager in the hall and Empress Dowager Zhu sitting on one side.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Get up quickly. From now on, we are all members of our own family. If you know it is wrong, please help me shake you up."
Luo Junyao stood up holding Xie Yan's hand. The Empress Dowager waved to her and said, "Junyao, come over here and let me have a look."
Luo Junyao stepped forward and was pulled by the Empress Dowager to sit down on the edge of the soft couch.
Last time, the Empress Dowager also pulled Luo Junyao over to have a look, but she was not as careful as this time.
Previously, I only thought that this child was born beautiful, and she looked like she had been raised and raised. Her lively and bold personality was a good match for Zhi Fei. Later, I heard that she was seriously injured in order to save her eldest sister, and the Empress Dowager then
I really paid attention to this girl who was said not to have a good reputation in Shangyong.
Now looking at this delicate and beautiful little face, as well as those clear and smart eyes, the Empress Dowager nodded repeatedly, "Good boy, unless this child has been rolling around on the battlefield with his uncle since he was a child, it is rare that General Luo can still see
Go to him. If he does anything wrong, just tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you!"
Luo Junyao said softly: "Thank you, the Queen Mother. Your Majesty... is very good."
"Okay, okay, that's good." The Empress Dowager said hello repeatedly, patting the back of Luo Junyao's hand and looking sideways at the palace maid next to her.
The palace maid was holding a carved sandalwood box in her hands, which seemed to be quite old.
The palace maid respectfully brought the box to Luo Junyao. The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "This is what my grandmother gave me when I left the palace. After so many years, there are not many left. One piece for me."
I married your imperial sister-in-law and gave her a piece of wisdom when I came out of the cabinet. This is for you."
Luo Junyao was a little flattered, "The Empress Dowager, this..."
The Empress Dowager pressed her hand and said, "Keep it, it's not a rare thing, it's just a souvenir. Just think of it as a meeting gift for my nephew and his wife."
The Empress Dowager came from an aristocratic family, so the things left by her grandmother were not really ordinary things.
Luo Junyao raised his head to look at Xie Yan. Xie Yan nodded lightly towards her. Only then did Luo Junyao accept it, "Junyao thanked the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager held her hand and said, "I am relieved that you will be fine."
The Queen Mother's illness was indeed not serious. After waiting for them for a long time, when she said these words, her fatigue and weakness were visible to the naked eye.
No one dared to overwork her. Luo Junyao and Xie Yan talked with her for a while, and then Xie Yan ordered people to help the Empress Dowager back to the inner hall to rest.
The Empress Dowager also knew her own body. Now that she saw Luo Junyao, she was relieved and in a good mood. She only ordered Xie Yan to take Luo Junyao around the palace and have lunch before leaving the palace.
Now that the emperor is still young, the emperor Gaozu and the late emperor's concubines all live in the Shou'an Palace in the northwest corner of the palace, which is reserved for concubines. There are only the empress dowager and the empress dowager in the palace, so they are not afraid of bumping into anyone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Coming out of the Empress Dowager's Palace with Empress Dowager Zhu, the two parties parted ways.
Xie Cheng was led away by Empress Dowager Zhu, but he kept looking back at the two of them.
Luo Junyao smiled at him and waved. Xie Cheng's eyes lit up and he also imitated Luo Junyao and waved to them.
The mother and son got into the car. Xie Cheng was still lying by the window looking behind him, but he was quickly pulled back again.
"Your Majesty seems to like you very much?" Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan and smiled.
Xie Yan did not comment, and pulled Luo Junyao out, saying at the same time: "Your Majesty is still young and is inevitably a bit naughty. If you encounter Luo Yao in the future, you don't have to let him go."
Although Ah Cheng is the emperor, Xie Yan does not want his nephew to develop an arrogant, domineering and arrogant character. This is not a good thing for himself or Dasheng.
Luo Junyao looked at Xie Yan in surprise, and Xie Yan raised his eyebrows in confusion, "What did I say wrong?"
Luo Jun asked: "Your Majesty, can you be considered naughty like this?" In her opinion, for a child of six or seven years old, his Majesty is already extremely well-behaved.
Even though he had just run out to greet Xie Yan, Xie Yan just called him and he immediately stopped. He obeyed Xie Yan's teachings obediently and showed none of the willfulness and naughtiness of a child of this age.
Xie Yan was silent for a moment and said softly: "He is the emperor after all."
"But he is still a six-year-old child." Luo Junyao said, "To be a good emperor, you must at least have a sound personality, right? It is not a good way to bring up children by encouraging them and suppressing their nature."
After saying this, Luo Junyao paused for a moment, and then said with a guilty conscience: "I seem to...talk too much. Uh...actually, I have never raised a child, so don't take anything I say to heart." A common problem among modern Internet youth.
, after reading a few books, I dare to give pointers even though I don’t understand anything.
Xie Anlan at least raised a dog. She dared to teach others how to raise a little emperor without even raising a fish. She was very courageous.
Xie Yan smiled and said: "I understand what Yaoyao said. It's just that the Empress Dowager has not had much energy in the past few years, and I...A Cheng only has the emperor's sister-in-law around her. The emperor's aunt also discussed with me about A Cheng's upbringing.
In ancient times, the royal family has avoided letting princes live with their biological mothers because they were worried that the biological mothers would overly spoil their children. But A Cheng lost his father when he was just a baby, so it is really a bit..."
He himself is not loved by his parents, and although he has no obsession with it now, he still doesn't want to separate his nephew, mother and son.
Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a moment: "Your Majesty...has been alone all these years, right? Don't you have any playmates?"
Xie Yan shook his head, "Occasionally, a few children from Chengenhou's family will come to the palace to accompany him, but...A Cheng doesn't seem to like those children very much."
How miserable!
It seems that there are countless people serving such a large palace, but the real relatives are actually only my elderly and sick grandmother and mother, and my cousin who just came back and occasionally comes into the palace to see me. He doesn't even have a playmate.
It is not easy for the child to grow up so healthy and lively.
"If he doesn't like the children of the Marquis Cheng'en family, he can just find another family. There will always be someone he likes if he looks for a few more families," Luo Junyao said.
Xie Yan nodded, he had been thinking about this issue for a long time.
Ah Cheng always needs playmates as he gets older, but the Queen Mother may not be happy about it.
Although the Royal Garden is beautiful, Luo Junyao has already been here once, and the original owner has been here more than once in his memory, so there is nothing interesting about it.
Xie Yan also saw that Luo Junyao had no interest in the Imperial Garden, so he took her to the Chenyou Palace in the outer court.
The Chenyou Palace in the outer court has now been converted into a collection of books. Compared with the exquisiteness and splendor of the harem, it has a more solemn and atmospheric feel.
The last time Luo Junyao came here was at night. He came and went in a hurry and didn't look at this place carefully.
The area of the palaces in the outer court is generally larger than that of the harem. This Chenyou Palace was once the residence of the prince, so its area is much larger than that of the queen's palace.
Although Xie Yan no longer lives here, the place where he once lived is still intact so that the regent can stay or rest when needed.
Luo Junyao was still very interested in the place where Xie Yan lived when he was a boy. He followed Xie Yan around inside and outside Chenyou Palace and listened to Xie Yan talk about his past when he was a boy.
"So, you were very happy when you were a teenager?" Luo Junyao leaned against the pillar and smiled at Xie Yan who was standing aside.
Xie Yan thought for a moment and nodded: "I am very happy. I entered the palace when I was eight years old and lived here with my cousin. Two years later, my cousin moved to the newly renovated East Palace, and I lived here alone. Until
When I went to war at the age of fifteen, my uncle named me the King of Chu and gave me a palace outside the palace. I lived here for several years."
Xie Yan smiled and said: "My uncles, aunts, and cousins all treat me very well. If it weren't for them, what you see now would definitely not be what I am today."
Luo Junyao didn't know what King Mu and Princess Mu did to the young Xie Yan back then. If it was just indifference and neglect, it should not be enough for Gao Zu and the Queen Mother to stand and forcefully bring him into the palace.
Education.
But Luo Junyao felt that she should thank the Empress Dowager and Emperor Gaozu. If it weren't for them, Xie Yan would not be the Xie Yan he is now.
The influence of living environment on a person is so important. If she had not been sucked into the fox's den, Xie Anlan might have become a gangster female boss. She might have become a hacker who used her talent to cause trouble everywhere. If she made too much noise
If it's too much, what awaits them may be tears behind bars.
Even though Xie Yan is extremely beautiful, if he grew up in such an environment, he might become the ultimate villain.
Luo Junyao reached out to hug him and gave him a bright smile, "They are all good people. From now on, we can take good care of the little emperor and repay them."
"We?" Xie Yan's heart moved slightly, and he put his arms around the girl who wanted to retreat.
Luo Junyao looked up at him, "What else?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Yan couldn't help but smile and whispered: "Yes, Shake is right. Then you will have to work hard with me in the future."
Luo Junyao snorted softly and said, "Then you can't bully me just because you are good at martial arts."
Xie Yan said: "How could I bully Yaoyao? As long as I am here, no one in this world can bully you." Including myself.
Luo Junyao was so coaxed that he was elated. Who said Xie Yan was ruthless and ungrateful?
With such a good-looking face, and being so good at coaxing people, what else is there to be dissatisfied about.
"That sentence is final! Don't worry, I won't let anyone bully you!"
Xie Yan had a deep smile in his eyes, "Then I will have Lao Yaoyao to protect me."
"Um!"
Luo Jun shook his head, stood up on tiptoes and quickly kissed Xie Yan on the cheek.
Then he quickly pushed Xie Yan away and turned around to run away, his heart becoming more and more proud.
She keeps dreaming and wants to kiss her for a long time!
Isn't it because you are so good-looking that you don't want to be kissed by someone just to be greedy?
As for whether Xie Yan thinks she's lecherous or something...she's already engaged anyway, can Xie Yan still let her go?
However, as soon as she took a step out, she was pulled back.
Xie Yan clasped a hand on her waist and looked down at the girl, whose eyes were shining with excitement, "Why are you running?"
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes innocently and said, "No way? I didn't run away." I can't say I'm afraid you'll slap me, right?
Xie Yan looked at this bold girl helplessly, and naturally did not miss the expression on her face.
He didn't want to be frivolous before getting married, but the girl obviously didn't appreciate it.
But thinking about what happened that night at the lantern festival, he felt that he shouldn't be surprised by this girl's boldness.
He lowered his head slightly and said softly: "Shao Yao is like this... If I don't reciprocate, won't I let Yao Yao laugh?"
Luo Junyao laughed dryly, "That's not necessary." But his heartbeat couldn't help but soar rapidly, and the scene he always dreamed of from time to time came to mind.
The distance between the two was instantly drawn very close, and his lukewarm thin lips kissed her lips gently.
A light kiss, like a dragonfly touching water, ended before Luo Junyao could react.
Luo Junyao blinked his eyes quickly, his heart pounded, and his cheeks turned red uncontrollably.
Xie Yan looked at her rare shy look with amusement. She was so bold yet so shy.
Holding her in his arms, Xie Yan said softly: "I was the one who was abrupt. We are not married yet. I will never..."
"Very good." The girl in his arms raised her head and looked at him with bright eyes, "Would you like to do it again?"
It's normal to feel uncomfortable during your first real kiss.
Miss Luo Er has always been adhering to the idea of moving forward courageously. It would be better to kiss her a few more times.
"..." His Royal Highness the Regent was speechless for a long time.
"Yeah." Just as the two of them looked at each other, a small voice came across the garden from under the marble railing next to the palace door opposite.
The two of them turned back and crossed the entire garden before they saw a dark yellow figure under the marble railing.
Xie Yan's voice was deep, "A Cheng?"
After a while, the little figure moved, and a small head emerged from the railing.
He is not very tall among children of his age, and standing next to the railing, only his small head can be seen.
As if he was afraid that the two people opposite him would not know that he was peeking, he covered his eyes with a pair of small hands.
"Uncle, little aunt."
Xie Yan's eyebrows twitched slightly and he said, "Come here."
"oh."
Xie Cheng then turned around, went down the steps in front of the palace door, and ran across the entire garden to the two of them.
"Uncle, little aunt."
Looking into the child's pure and cheerful eyes, Luo Jun smiled and said, "Why is your Majesty here?"
Xie Cheng said reluctantly, "Little aunt, my name is A Cheng, please call me A Cheng."
Luo Jun shook his head and looked at Xie Yan. Xie Yan nodded. Then she changed her tone and said with a smile: "Why is A Cheng here?"
Xie Cheng said: "A Cheng is taking classes next to Chenyou Palace. Hearing that the emperor's uncle and his little aunt are here, A Cheng told his husband that he wanted to come and see the emperor's uncle and his little aunt first."
The teacher who taught the class did not know that he had already met the emperor's uncle and aunt in the imperial grandmother's palace, and praised him for respecting his elders and his thorough etiquette.
"So that's it." Luo Jun shook his head.
Xie Yan stretched out his hand and touched his nephew's little head, "Since you are in class, don't let your husband wait for you."
"Oh." Xie Cheng lowered his head in frustration.
Seeing him like this, Xie Yan felt a little helpless and sighed softly: "Uncle Huang will take your aunt out of the palace soon. If you want to play, Uncle Emperor will take you out of the palace in a few days."
Hearing this, Xie Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole little face seemed to shine brightly, "Okay! Uncle Emperor can't lie to A Cheng!"
Xie Yan said: "I won't lie to you, but... you must complete the homework assigned by the teacher."
"Yeah." Xie Cheng nodded in agreement.
Xie Yan said warmly: "Go."
Xie Cheng waved to the two of them, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned his eyes and rushed to Luo Junyao.
He stretched out his little hand and grabbed the hem of Luo Junyao's clothes and shook it: "Little aunt, squat down. Ah Cheng has something to tell you."
Luo Junyao knelt down with some curiosity. Xie Cheng looked at Xie Yan again and said with his big eyes: A Cheng wants to whisper to his little aunt. Uncle Huang, please go farther away.
With a hint of smile in his eyes, Xie Yan turned around and stopped looking at the two people standing next to each other.
Xie Cheng then approached Luo Junyao and whispered in Luo Junyao's ear: "Don't worry, little aunt, A Cheng won't tell others that the emperor kissed you just now."
"..." Luo Junyao was silent, little boy, your uncle can hear your voice.
Naturally, Xie Cheng didn't know this, so he stretched out his arms, hugged Luo Jun, shook him, and said, "Little aunt, you should come to play with A Cheng often." Then he turned around and ran away.
The little man ran very fast, and in a short while he re-crossed the garden and arrived at the exit gate.
There was a chamberlain waiting for him outside the door. When he saw him running up, he shouted, "Your Majesty, please slow down, be careful not to fall."
"Come on, don't keep sir waiting."
"Ah, Your Majesty, please slow down..."
Luo Junyao squatted on the ground and turned around to look at Xie Yan. He endured it and burst into laughter.
Xie Yan shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand towards her and said, "It seems that Ah Cheng really likes you."
Luo Junyao took his hand and stood up, smiling and saying, "Your Majesty is very cute."
Xie Yan nodded, "It seems that Ah Cheng is indeed lonely. We can take him out of the palace more often in the future."
It's not that Xie Yan doesn't care about his nephew, it's just that he was very busy when he came back.
Moreover, he was the only one in the Prince Regent's Palace, and he was so busy that what would happen even if he took the child out of the palace? It was just a transfer from the palace to the Prince Regent's Palace.
Speaking of which, the garden is not as lively as the palace.
By the way, the one in front of me also likes to be lively. I'm afraid Jingyuan is still a little too quiet and solemn, and it will have to be tidied up again.
"Well, children should go out more and see more. It's boring to stay at home all day."
Xie Yan said: "I won't let Yao Yao be locked up at home every day from now on."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "You can't lock me down. Uh... no, I'm not a child!"
Xie Yan chuckled, "Of course you are not a child. Let's go and have dinner in the palace of the emperor's aunt, and then let's go out of the palace."
"Okay, let's go!" Luo Junyao pulled Xie Yan and walked out quickly.
Although the palace was magnificent and majestic, Luo Junyao didn't like it very much, even though Xie Yan had lived here for many years.
This palace is the most noble and gorgeous place in the world. In her opinion, it is not as comfortable and comfortable as her Nuanxin Garden and Xie Yan's Garden.
