Mu Yun'an had never heard that there was a Prince Qi in Nanyue. She pretended to be curious and asked: "Do you have many princes in Nanyue? I have only heard of the regent. What is his relationship with you?"
Xiao Qiyan smiled slightly: "If we count it by seniority, he should call me uncle."
Mu Yunan: "..."
She blinked her eyes and looked a little confused: "Little uncle? If you put it this way, aren't you and His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyue brothers?"
Xiao Qiyan nodded: "He is my cousin, but he is twenty years older than me. I am the posthumous son of the late emperor. I was born weak and sickly. I have been recuperating in Lin'an Palace for so many years and rarely return to Beijing."
"oh."
Mu Yun'an didn't know much about Nanyue. He only knew that there was civil strife in Nanyue twenty years ago. Later, King Wei ascended the throne, which is now the Nanyue Emperor.
But according to Xiao Qiyan, he is the posthumous son of the late emperor.
In other words, it was Xiao Qiyan’s father who was in office more than 20 years ago? But looking at Xiao Qiyan like this, he seems to be very ill. I don’t know if he is pretending?
Mu Yun'an stared at him and asked curiously: "I wonder what disease you have? I also have some medical skills, why don't you let me take your pulse?"
Xiao Qiyan didn't expect that she would make such a request. He smiled and then stretched out his hand and placed it on the small table in front of him: "Then, Your Highness Princess Lao."
Mu Yun'an was not polite to him, and directly felt his pulse. After a while, she frowned and said, "You brought this disease from your mother's womb."
"yes."
Xiao Qiyan said in a calm voice: "The imperial doctor said that I will not live to be twenty years old. Fortunately, I was born in the royal family and have good medicine and supplements. Otherwise, I would have died long ago. However, my health is getting worse and worse, and I don't think I have much."
It’s time.”
Mu Yun'an disagreed with his words: "Why are you so pessimistic? You have survived twenty years, so there must be another twenty years.
Isn't it good to think about some beautiful things in life? Why worry about how much time we have left? Those are all determined by God. All we can do is live in the present and cherish every day, right?"
Xiao Qiyan was stunned for a moment. He thought about her words carefully, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. He nodded: "Your Highness the Princess is absolutely right. I have learned from you."
Mu Yun'an smiled and said: "My name is Jiang Lanyi, just call me A Lanyi."
Xiao Qiyan called out calmly: "Alanyi." After saying that, he asked curiously: "Are all the girls in your southern Xinjiang wearing veils?"
Mu Yun'an shrugged: "Of course not. Wearing a veil is just for the convenience of traveling. After all, my princess's appearance is stunning and she doesn't want to be remembered."
Xiao Qiyan was amused by her, and then couldn't help covering his lips and coughing. Mu Yunan hurriedly poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Are you okay?"
Xiao Qiyan took the tea cup and drank some water before calming down. He shook his head and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen a girl as cheerful as you."
Mu Yun'an asked: "I heard that the women in your Nanyue are very reserved?"
"yes."
Xiao Qiyan sighed: "They all abide by the etiquette of ladies, and inevitably lose themselves. They are not as straightforward and cute as you, just like... the sun in the sky."
When Mu Yunan heard this, he thought of Xiao Chengyi again in a daze. Xiao Chengyi also said this.
She took a deep breath to calm down her thoughts and said, "Don't you rarely come back to Beijing? Then why are you coming to Beijing this time?"
