After the group arrived at Hanzhu Pavilion, there were only a few servants waiting in the pavilion, but Su Han and others were not seen.
Xiao Muting sat on the tea couch, took a sip of scented tea, and looked at Xiao Yanchun, who was still holding a tea bowl and staring at the scented tea inside.
"Yanchun, tell me the truth to my uncle, has your third uncle Prince Cheng'an ever approached your father or your brothers?" he asked calmly.
Xiao Yanchun held the tea, looked up, rolled his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "He sent someone to deliver a letter to his father, but his father ignored it and said that he was impulsive, unstable and did things too much."
It’s too extreme, but according to what I heard, the third uncle seems to have contacted the eldest brother and the fifth brother, and I don’t know what kind of response he got.”
"How could you not know?" Xiao Muting looked at him with a sullen face.
Xiao Yanchun immediately emphasized: "Little Emperor Uncle, I am telling the truth. I really don't know. Now the eldest brother and the fifth brother are not in Quyang City. They have mansions in Yang'an City and Jin'an City in the county respectively. They are so far away.
How could I possibly know."
"But as far as I know, Prince Li is a very capable person in Kang'an County. Is there anything else you don't know?" Xiao Muting asked in a colder voice.
Xiao Yanchun turned red with anxiety, shook his head and said: "Little Emperor Uncle, who did you listen to? How can I have that ability? Even though I have the status of Prince Li, all the big things and small things in the county can't be done."
It’s all decided by my father. I don’t like to be involved in these things at all. In the county, the only place I usually stay is in the Baokang Army. I don’t have any hands and eyes to speak of..."
Prince Baoqing smiled and said, "Mu Ting, don't scare him anymore. He'll be so scared that he'll cry. You can't coax him."
The Marquis of Yanyang also smiled and nodded: "That's not the case, but the rift between your uncles and nephews may arise. Young Prince Li is here to congratulate you, so His Highness Chen Wang may be upset if he is so frightened.
Resentment is not good, not good!"
King Yi also tried to smooth things over: "No, the little emperor is used to scaring people. His stern face is really scary. If you don't know, you will take it seriously and even make you cry."
Xiao Muting also raised the corner of his mouth slightly at this time, then raised his head to Xiao Yanchun and asked: "It's not true as they said, you were scared."
Xiao Yanchun swallowed hard, his face still a little uneasy, but he still shook his head: "No... not at all!"
"Hmph! With your courage, you still want to fight with those brothers and sisters who have hundreds of holes in their hearts. Do you really think that you are the only one who has soldiers and they don't have them? If you dare to come out and scream so fearlessly, you will definitely
You are confident, and it is a taboo to underestimate the enemy." Xiao Muting snorted, but his tone was gentler and more authentic.
Xiao Yanchun pursed his lips and nodded: "My nephew naturally knows that the journey along the way is not smooth at all. One tail follows another. In desperation, I can only slow down the journey and leave manpower in each city.
I stopped and cleaned up these people just because I didn't want them to follow me into Bai Feng City, and I was also afraid that the little emperor would misunderstand that I was the one who brought them here, but it seems... they really did."
Several people looked at each other at this time and raised their eyebrows. Fortunately, he told the truth, otherwise, Xiao Yanchun's end would never be too good.
The Prince of Baoqing County smiled again and said: "So, you have been working really hard on this journey. Why don't you send a message first so that we can send some people to help you. If your little uncle can't help you, isn't there more?
Yan Lan and Yan Li also have several people under their command."
Xiao Yanchun grinned in embarrassment and said: "Uncle Huang, in that case, I would be too cowardly. If I can't deal with these little thieves anymore, what will happen to me..."
"Then haven't you dealt with it now?" King Yi laughed out loud.
"You think it's strange, but I just came to congratulate the little emperor uncle. Why are they so worried? At that time, my father told them that anyone who wanted to come could come together, but they didn't come.
, I just set off on my own, followed behind, arrested a few of them and interrogated them, and they were all there, not a single one was left behind, which is really chilling." Xiao Yanchun said angrily.
Xiao Muting snorted coldly: "It seems that these people are really afraid of this king, the emperor's uncle. They don't dare to meet him directly, so they sent people to find out the truth. Maybe they also thought that if this king is really as rumored by the outside world,
, are already terminally ill, and they intend to take over Cangque County."
"This is something that is uncertain. The main reason is that you have no heirs now. Naturally, someone will make this prediction. You must know that this vassal territory is a holy gift. If you really have an accident and have no heirs to inherit, you will
There are two possibilities, one is that it was taken back by the Holy One and redistributed; the other is that someone occupies the position of vassal king, and this person must be your junior and will pass it on to you on the grounds of adoption." Prince Baoqing said.
He raised his eyebrows sarcastically, naturally meaning to remind him.
The Marquis of Yanyang also nodded in agreement and said: "It is indeed possible. His Highness, King Chen, it is better to make plans early. It is better to have a child earlier, which can also dispel those people's delusions."
"Since it is a delusion, it cannot be eliminated. I will think of a way no matter what, but I am really not in a hurry. The princess is still young and needs to recuperate her body. However, I am really not afraid of who will attack this vassal.
Idea, I am really not a sick cat, come on if you have the guts." Xiao Muting chuckled nonchalantly.
King Yi also lowered his head and pursed his lips, smiled, and nodded in approval: "I'm really not afraid. Even the little emperor's aunt may not be able to pass this level."
Xiao Yanchun swallowed again. He didn't hear what King Yi said clearly because his attention was still all on Xiao Muting, but he agreed with what he said. How could anyone so overestimated his ability dare to challenge him?
, isn’t that seeking death?
At this time, Zhu Zhu saluted at the door of the pavilion: "Your Highness, the princess asked the servant to ask if your Highness is hungry!"
As soon as the words fell, two "poofs" of tea were heard. Prince Baoqing and Prince Yi sprayed out all the tea in their mouths at the same time, and successfully choked them both, causing them to cough.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Yanyang didn't drink. When he saw the appearance of these two people, he felt lucky and smiled with his lips pursed.
Xiao Yanchun also smiled, thinking that the quirky little emperor's aunt he had seen in Prince Chen's Mansion in the capital was really a special person.
With a gentle smile on her lips, Xiao Muting nodded lightly: "Let the princess prepare it, you know what to eat."
Yunzhu bowed respectfully and replied: "When I went back to Your Highness, the princess said that the young prince is one of her own family members. Naturally, he has to eat home-cooked food to be cordial. Only affordable and delicious food is called a family banquet."
"That makes sense. Let's go back to the princess first. I'll be there right away." Xiao Muting nodded lightly with satisfaction.
When they arrived at the garden pavilion in the backyard, a sumptuous table of delicacies was already placed. There were only eight dishes and one soup in total, but they were all large plates. Compared with the previous small plates of exquisite dishes, this one was more affordable.
, the aroma of the vegetables also makes people want to eat.
But Su Han and his entourage were still not seen here. Xiao Muting looked at Yunzhu at this moment, and she replied: "The princess, the county princess, Madam Marquis and other female relatives are at Xingyue Tower!"
"What are you doing there!" Xiao Muting couldn't help but ask.
"Eat kebabs!" Yunzhu replied, glancing at him carefully.
Xiao Muting couldn't help but said: "It's so uninteresting."
Prince Baoqing and Prince Yi nodded in agreement, and then looked at the table of delicacies and suddenly lost their appetite.
