Yan Lizhou returned to the palace after going to the palace to report on his duties, so now he only needs to wash up and have a good rest.
They were a group of people who had traveled a lot. They had gone to Rongzhou in a hurry and dealt with the Five Poison Sect and the White Lotus Sect, so they did not let down their guard.
After the matter is completed, we have to be more vigilant. The journey from Rongzhou back to Chang'an is also nerve-wracking.
Now that you are home, you can have a good rest.
Chen Xun did not disturb Yan Lizhou and the others, but told the kitchen to keep an eye on them, and if they woke up after enough sleep, they would pass out food so that they could eat.
Qi Yang also met his master. It was indeed His Royal Highness Prince Ning whom he admired. He was indeed very good-looking and matched his master very well.
Of course, Qi Yang was also very sensible. He knew that Yan Lizhou and the others had a hard time coming back, so he did not disturb them.
When Chen Yun took Qi Yang out of Xihetang, she had forgotten to introduce her young apprentice to Yan Lizhou.
Chen Yun looked down at the little Douding standing next to her. She was shocked that she had forgotten such a big baby. When did her memory become so bad?
But she didn't hesitate, Qi Yang could introduce him to Yan Lizhou and the others at any time.

Yan Lizhou and others slept for several hours, and when they woke up it was already early the next morning.
They did get up once in the middle of the night, ask the kitchen to bring them some easy-to-digest noodles or porridge, and then went back to sleep.
It was not until dawn that they finally got enough sleep.
"Are you going to the palace to see your mother and concubine today?" Chen Xun asked while accompanying Yan Lizhou to have breakfast.
Yan Lizhou had just returned from other places after doing errands. Emperor Yun Zhao gave him a holiday and did not have to attend the morning court, so he had time to have breakfast with her.
But Yan Lizhou was not idle. He had been away from Chang'an for nearly two months, and he had to visit his mother and concubine in the palace.
"Go." Yan Lizhou said, "I haven't seen my mother and concubine for a long time. I have to visit her when I get back."
"By the way, I remembered that there was a little baby with you yesterday. I heard that he was the disciple you planned to take on?" Yan Lizhou asked while drinking porridge.
Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou were having breakfast now, so they didn't follow the rule of "don't talk when you eat", so it was quite nice to chat while eating.
"Well, Qi Yang has a very good foundation and is a good young man in martial arts." Chen Xun said.
"I plan to teach him martial arts, but I think it would be better for you to teach him about marching and fighting. Qi Yang's dream is to become a general who can protect his family and country."
"How's it going? Do you want to help me teach him?" Chen Xun asked.
"Okay." Yan Lizhou did not refuse. If that little kid has good character, there will be no problem with his teaching.
The most important thing is that Chen Xun said that he has extremely good bones, and Yan Lizhou, a martial arts prodigy like this, is also very attracted to him.
"After the Dragon Boat Festival banquet at Prince Rong's Mansion, let's find time to hold an apprenticeship banquet for Qi Yang." Chen Yu said, "It doesn't need to be grand, but the necessary steps still have to be taken."
Yan Lizhou nodded, "I will post a post for you at that time and invite some people to come and watch the ceremony."
"Well, thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Xun smiled and thanked him.
"This is what I should do." Yan Lizhou said calmly.

The couple quickly changed their clothes after breakfast. Yan Lizhou had not seen his mother and concubine for a long time, so he went to the palace today to show her and comfort her.
Chen Xun couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the bun on her head, the various pearls and jade, and the court clothes she wore that belonged to the princess.
It's really troublesome to enter the palace. You have to dress up every time.
Especially now it is the end of April. Although the weather is not as hot as May, June and July, it is not much cooler now.
Wearing such heavy clothes made her feel stuffy.
Of course, as a system, after she became a human, her body still had the function of automatically adjusting the temperature. She would not freeze when it was cold, nor would she sweat like crazy when it was hot.
It was her. If it were anyone else, wearing such thick clothes in summer would definitely make her sweaty.
"Let's go." Yan Lizhou naturally stretched out his hand and asked her to hold him before walking towards the entrance of the palace.
After arriving at the door, Yan Lizhou carefully helped her get into the carriage, and then climbed up after she sat in.
After Yan Lizhou got in and settled down, the carriage slowly walked towards the palace gate.
Chen Xun and Yan Lizhou did not remain silent and talked about some trivial things in their lives in the past two months.
As Chen Yu was talking, she couldn't help but say, "I think Xue Pingli, the eldest son of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, has some thoughts about our eighth princess."
"Huh?" Yan Lizhou looked at her in confusion. He had a good impression of Xue Pingli, but he didn't expect that boy to fall in love with his sister.
Xue Pingli? In his memory, he seems to have only met his sister once, right?
"While you were away from Chang'an, Miss Xue from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion invited us to go to the Taoyuan to enjoy the peach blossoms. At that time, her brother Xue Shizi also went with us."
"Later on, we met several times one after another." Chen Xun said, "Our Long'er is so good-looking and a nice person, so it's natural for Prince Xue to fall in love with her."
"Long'er is only sixteen years old, don't worry." Yan Lizhou said expressionlessly.
Although he hasn't gotten along with this sister for a long time, she is his sister after all, the sister of his same mother. How could he be indifferent?
He was very unwilling to let his sister get married casually, even though he knew very well that his sister's marriage had to be approved by his father and mother.
"I'm only sixteen." Chen Xun rolled her eyes at Yan Lizhou.
She and Yan Long were of the same age, with an age difference of less than one year. Why didn't he say it was bad for her to marry him so early?
Well, Chen Yun also knew that he was messing around. After all, when the marriage was settled, Yan Lizhou had no ability to oppose it.
"Don't worry, the concubine will definitely keep Long'er for a year or two. She probably won't get married before she turns 18," Chen Yu said.
Yan Lizhou nodded and said that she was right. His mother-in-law would not let her sister get married so early.
As for who his future sister-in-law will be, Yan Lizhou is not sure. It is redundant to say anything now, and what will happen in the future is still unknown.
Chen Xun looked at Yan Lizhou's face and felt that this man was really pleasing to the eye, and he fit in well with her aesthetic taste.
Alas, do you want to strike first?
Putting aside feelings, she was very fond of this man's face and his body that had been practicing martial arts all year round.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Yan Lizhou asked helplessly, sensing something was wrong with Chen Xun's gaze.
Chen Yun smiled innocently and said, "Don't you think that the prince's appearance is really pleasing to the eye?"
"Oh?" Yan Lizhou smiled and said, "I also think that the princess is very beautiful. It is really an honor for me to marry such a stunning princess."
"That's what the prince said."
Yan Lizhou was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed even more wildly.
Sure enough, she is very proud of her appearance and doesn't know how to be modest at all, right? If she is said to be good-looking, she will definitely take it all in and she will not be modest at all.
But this is good, he also thinks that she is the most beautiful one.
