By the time Liu Lang came back from the palace, it was already past Haishi.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Lang asked Xu Mao: "Where is Chai Yan now?"
Xu Mao replied: "Back to Your Highness, Chai Yan is waiting in the side hall, and the Crown Princess is talking to him..."
Liu Lang immediately walked to the side hall.
In the side hall, the Crown Princess was chatting with Chai Yan. When they saw Liu Lang coming back, they immediately stood up to greet him.
Liu Lang was too lazy to talk nonsense. When he came in, he glared at Chai Yan and said, "What's the matter with you? I told you not to wander around, why didn't you listen to Gu?"
Chai Yan remained silent and did not explain much. He knew that no matter how he explained at this time, it would be useless and might even anger His Highness the Crown Prince even more.
Liu Lang was angry for a while, but his anger gradually subsided. He sat down on the Grand Master's chair, took a sip of tea, and said, "Chai Yan, do you know that your head was almost separated from your neck just now?
"
Chai Yan said calmly: "The emperor is kind and will not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"Ha..." Liu Lang sneered as soon as he heard this, looked at him and said, "Chai Yan, when the day comes when your head really needs to be moved, you won't think so!"
Zhao Li asked at this time: "Your Highness, did the Emperor say anything?"
Liu Lang said: "Father has already recognized him. He knows that he is the one who returned to Beijing with his adopted sister. He also knows that he is a junior official in Wude Division!"
Zhao Li was surprised and worried: "Isn't the emperor very angry?"
Liu Lang shook his head: "That's not true. I told my father everything that happened in detail. My father is a reasonable man and he won't care about what happened today."
"That's good..." Zhao Li immediately felt relieved.
Immediately, Liu Lang said again: "However, tonight's incident must have offended the high priest of Jimo, so tomorrow I have to come to the door in person to express my apology for this matter."
After hearing this, Chai Yan said: "Your Highness, I was the cause of the disaster, and I am willing to come and apologize for it!"
"Are you going?" Liu Lang twitched the corner of his mouth and waved his hands: "Forget it! Gu knows what you think? You want to take this opportunity to meet Gu's adopted sister, right?"
Chai Yan denied: "No, Your Highness, I really want to apologize to Lord Jimo..."
"Okay, stop talking!" Liu Lang said decisively: "Whether you really want to apologize or not, it is not appropriate for you to appear in front of the high priest of Jimo recently. Otherwise, it will be difficult for you to meet your adopted sister in the future.
Make it harder!"
Zhao Li also said: "Chai Yan, you just have to listen to His Highness on this matter, do you understand?"
Chai Yan thought for a while, nodded and said nothing more.
After a moment of silence, Liu Lang said: "By the way, don't forget what my father told you before he left..."
"Do you really want to enter the palace and perform tricks for the queen?" Chai Yan was very surprised. He thought the emperor just said it casually.
Liu Lang said with a straight face: "Nonsense, of course it's true. Do you understand Jun Wu's joke?"
Chai Yan then asked: "Your Highness, when will you go?"
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?" Liu Lang said angrily.
Zhao Li said gently: "Chai Yan, this matter is not urgent. Once His Highness the Crown Prince has made arrangements, he will send someone to inform you."
"Oh, okay then." Chai Yan replied in a naive voice.
Liu Lang waved his hand and said: "It's none of your business, you can go back..."
Chai Yan was eager to leave for a long time, so he immediately bowed his hands, said goodbye and left.
After Chai Yan left, Liu Lang called Zhao Li to his side and relayed to her in a low voice what the emperor had said.
Zhao Li nodded solemnly, and after listening, said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will tell my eldest brother early tomorrow morning!"
------------------
During the next five days, the library in charge of Chai Yan was surprisingly quiet.
Jimo Qiao, who usually ran here when he had nothing to do, was nowhere to be seen, and Hang Baiqiu and Li Dachui showed no signs of setting foot there. Apart from drinking tea and reading all day long, Chai Yan had almost nothing to do.
It's okay to have leisurely days once in a while, but people can't stand such days for a long time.
This day happened to be a holiday. Chai Yan had locked the door of the library early in the morning and was preparing to go out. He decided to go out for a stroll and went to the market to help Shangguan Peining purchase some "storage grain".
After spending two hours purchasing the "storage grain", Chai Yan was also a little hungry, so he decided to find a place nearby to satisfy his appetite.
Chai Yan looked at the wine flags and signboards on both sides of the street and walked forward with ease. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by two familiar figures in front of him.
"Huh? Isn't that the little girl from Gu Ling and Doudou?" Chai Yan said to himself.
At this time, Gu Ling and Doudou were selecting goods at a street vendor. They were talking and laughing, and seemed to be in high spirits.
Thinking that he hadn't seen Gu Ling for a while, Chai Yan stepped forward quickly to say hello, thinking that he might be able to treat her to a meal, and maybe also inquire about Mr. Gu.
After walking a few steps, an imposing and handsome young scholar appeared next to Gu Ling's master and servant, and started chatting and laughing with Gu Ling.
Chai Yan stopped and thought for a moment, and decided not to disturb them. Chai Yan had always been unwilling to be an object like a light bulb.
But as soon as he turned around, Gu Ling's voice sounded behind him: "Chai Yan..."
Chai Yan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, thinking that this was very embarrassing...
Now that he was seen, Chai Yan stopped hiding and turned around and walked up to the three of them with a polite smile.
"Miss Gu, Doudou, long time no see..." Chai Yan greeted with a smile.
When the young scholar saw that Chai Yan was also dressed as a scholar, he felt a little hostile in his heart. However, his face was still very polite. He carefully asked Gu Ling: "Cousin, this is..."
"Cousin?" Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "Miss Gu, I didn't realize that you have such a handsome cousin..."
Gu Ling immediately became happy. She looked at the young scholar beside her and said, "Come on! How can someone like him be called handsome?"
The young scholar smiled when he heard this and seemed not to mind Gu Ling's attitude towards him at all.
Chai Yan handed over to Gu Ling's cousin and introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, hello, this is the first time we meet. My name is Chai Yan. I am Miss Gu's... good friend, yes, good friend!"
Gu Ling immediately curled her lips and said: "Stop putting so much money on yourself, when did we become good friends? We are just ordinary friends!"
Chai Yan smiled and said: "Okay, okay, ordinary friends, ordinary friends..."
When the young scholar saw that his cousin and this man were so familiar, the hostility in his heart immediately increased. However, he was still very polite on the surface. He held his hands and said: "Kuang Zhiwei, Ling'er's cousin, it's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you...
..”
Gu Ling immediately added: "It's true that he is a cousin, but he is a distant relative!"
