The Crown Prince Chases His Wife

West City, Yunfu Tea House.

"You think Qin Yan's eldest daughter, Qin Yan, is really that ugly?"

"Xie Shizi couldn't avoid it, and even denied the marriage since he was a child. Then Qin Yan must be an ugly man and a god!"

"Shen Shiying had the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital back then. How could her daughter be so ugly? Could it be a rumor?"

"Bao Qi Xie Shizi regretted his marriage because of the little beauty raised in the house. I heard that he has been raised by his side for many years."

"But I heard that Xie Shizi is actually a good man. Maybe there is a little girl by his side to hide people's eyes and ears."

"Maybe it's all men and women, who knows what special hobbies those children of aristocratic families have."

"…"

"Brother, see you! Admire! Admire!"

------

Qin Yan and Princess Jingyi, Feng Yuyao, passed the hall and went upstairs. They listened to these gossip and entered the upstairs private room. The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

The two are the same age. Because their mother is a good friend from life, they were good playmates when they were children. Qin Yan was also Princess Jingyi's companion. Twelve years ago, Qin Yan left the capital and has since cut off contact. Seeing each other again after many years, the difference in circumstances did not bring them any estrangement.

The laughter subsided, and the two took their seats, but their gestures were a little too casual.

Princess Jingyi leaned lazily on the soft couch, while Qin Yan on the other side of the tea table was playing with the tea cup with one hand, and raised her foot to sit on the edge of the couch.

The princess' entourage was waiting downstairs. Apart from the two, there was only Shen Ying in this private room. Shen Ying seemed to be used to this, she was standing near the door of the box, her heart sullen, and if she wanted others to see it, she would be shocked by the actions of these two!

Taking a sip of the tea, Qin Yan said leisurely:

"Princess, why are you meeting here?"

"Still call me Yuyao, Xiao Yanyan..." Feng Yuyao answered the question.

"..." Qin Yan suddenly recalled the nasty Feng Yuyao when he was a child. At that time, Feng Yuyao was always in bad shape and brought her into a lot of troubles. Every time he was caught, he would put his cousin down. Resign and go to the top bag... the past is over.

Feng Yuyao looked at Qin Yan, who was beautiful with fair skin and a graceful figure, but she was happy, clutching her stomach and crying.

"Ugly enough to be angry with God? Hahaha!"

"But Xiao Yanyan, Xie Shizi has raised a woman of unknown origin in the mansion in recent years, and often brings it out to show off in the market. This is completely disregarding your face."

Feng Yuyao picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Standing on you at this juncture and not admitting this marriage is not kind, and it's not a good match."

Putting down the teacup, Feng Yuyao lifted the Hunan curtain facing the atrium stage in the private room and looked out.

"Here."

Qin Yan followed Feng Yuyao's line of sight and saw a man and woman going upstairs.

Seemingly feeling the exploratory gaze, Xie Changyuan who was about to step up abruptly raised his head and saw Princess Jingyi Feng Yuyao behind the open curtain of the private room on the second floor, Xie Changyuan nodded to her.

Xie Changyuan inadvertently turned his gaze to the person opposite Feng Yuyao, but was shocked by a pair of breathtaking eyes, that was an extremely beautiful woman, the woman's eyes were cool, and her eyes fell on him only. In an instant, it was removed, and then the curtain was lowered.

Behind the curtain on the second floor, Feng Yuyao looked at Qin Yan teasingly,

"How, is your fiance Long Zhangfengzi, a talented person?"

Qin Yan's eyes were slightly lifted, but he didn't say a word, just drank the tea in his hands.

Is that the current Xie Changyuan? The boy in his childhood memory can't remember exactly, but that face looks familiar?

"The most famous of Yunfu Tea Club is the drama from Shannan and Haibei. Every time there is a new drama, the girl Ayan next to Xie Shizi will come over in a hurry. You can find out these things after a little inquiries." Feng Yuyao She was so excited to tell the gossip she had heard.

"In the play a few days ago, the poor scholar and the young lady of the Xiangfu had a private life, which was not tolerated by the world, and both of them sacrificed their love. In today's play, listen, tsk tsk, your son fell in love with a beautiful maid, betrayed the marriage contract, Elope with the maid. What a good show."

Seeing Qin Yan's indifferent expression, Feng Yuyao also lost her interest in joking.

"There is news that the girl A Yan is very simple, I can't see it."

"So, you brought me to see the pair of wild mandarin ducks?" Qin Yan finally responded.

"Hey, Xiao Yanyan, I'm not worth it for you, after all, you and Xie Shizi were also..."

"Didn't you say that you just saw the frame of His Royal Highness the Prince at the door?" Qin Yan pondered with a smile.

Feng Yuyao immediately fought a cold war. Her most embarrassed brother, the prince, might be in a private room of this tea house.

"Hey, don't change the subject!" Feng Yuyao recalled immediately.

------

As soon as Xie Changyuan entered the tea house, the chatter of the crowd stopped abruptly, and he didn't think much about it.

When dealing with Xie Zhao a few days ago, I thought it would be easy for the Shence Army to be an individual, but the Ministry of War said that the soldiers and soldiers who had returned from the Pingxi Army had other arrangements.

Xie Changyuan was in a bad mood. He originally planned to go to the horse farm in the western suburbs to relieve his stagnation. After he got there, he was told that the horse he liked was just brought back from the northwest, and the word "northwest" provoked him again. Do not hesitate.

After returning to the city to hear He Xiao's fiancee sentence, Xie Changyuan suddenly became angry, but he didn't want to say a word casually, which would tarnish Qin Yan's not-so-good reputation.

Although Xie Changyuan was a little guilty when he learned of this, he was too lazy to explain. This marriage was optional, and the mother's arrangement before her death was only to follow her wishes.

Today, A Yan was pestering him to accompany him to listen to the play. Xie Changyuan couldn't bear the little girl's disappointment and sadness, so he brought her to the tea house.

As soon as she entered the box and sat down, A Yan happily ate the preserved fruit while listening to the play.

Xie Changyuan had no idea about the play, he raised his eyes and swept around, his eyes unconsciously stopped in Princess Jingyi's box.

Princess Jingyi Feng Yuyao has always acted in a low-key manner. She lives in a secluded place. On weekdays, she even withdraws from the palace banquet in advance, which is very different from the publicity of Feng Yunchao, the queen's direct princess. Today, I went out of the palace for the first time, and I also made an appointment at this tea house, which made Xie Changyuan a little curious, who is the sacred person opposite Feng Yuyao.

One hand waved up and down in front of Xie Changyuan,

"Big Brother Zhang Yuan, Big Brother Zhang Yuan, why are you so fascinated?"

A Yan, who had just been listening to the play, noticed Xie Changyuan's trance. The play was talking about your son's final rejection of the fiancee arranged by his family, and resolutely left with the woman he loved, and both lived together. Seeing this, A Yan couldn't wait to see Xie Changyuan's reaction.

"Brother Chang Yuan, do you think Young Master Liang and Xiao Die will be happy in the future?"

Young Master Liang is the noble son who gave up his fiancée, and Xiaodie is the little girl who is beloved in Young Master Liang's heart. A Yan seemed to ask casually, but she was anxiously looking forward to Xie Changyuan's answer.

"Hmm," Xie Changyuan said casually, not listening to what A Yan was saying.

At this moment, Xie Chang Yuan was still in shock in his heart that he was caught in the eyes of the strange woman just now. The moment he saw that face, Xie Changyuan was accustomed to seeing beautiful women over the years, and he had to marvel at the exquisiteness of the other person's appearance.

A Yan got a satisfactory answer, and then looked in the direction that Xie Chang Yuan was looking at. The curtains were drawn in the boxes over there, and nothing could be seen. Maybe it was because he thought too much, but he was a little uneasy about Xie Chang Yuan's attitude, and shouted that he was tired and wanted to leave.

When Xie Changyuan went downstairs, he raised his eyes again to look at the box where the woman was just now, but unfortunately, the curtain was never lifted again until he left the tea house.

------

"By the way, do you want to consider being my sister-in-law?"

Feng Yuyao couldn't help but tease when she saw the presence of the old **** Qin Yan.

Qin Yan almost choked on the tea.

"It's not about the people in the palace, I don't want to push you into the fire pit. After many years in the palace, the scenes I have seen are more exciting and exciting than the ones I heard in the theater."

"I mean cousin Junyan."

When Feng Yuyao said these words, she carefully observed Qin Yan's expression and did not let go of it at all. Seeing that Qin Yan did not respond, Feng Yuyao was discouraged, and it seemed that there was no drama.

Feng Yuyao's mother was Concubine De, and Concubine De came from Ping Nanbo's house, and Ping Nanbo's only son, Gu Junyan, was Feng Yuyao's cousin and Qin Yan's best friend, but that was only limited to that.

"This is not the place to talk, but I have something to ask you. It's not very convenient for me to live in the mansion these days. I'll invite you to talk when I move back to my house." Qin Yan changed her silence.

"New house? Yanyan, you have a housewarming banquet! Don't forget to leave me a comfortable yard, even a wing room. I even make a list of my favorite things to send to you."

"...Can you have a face? That's my house."

"Hey, I see that you are too lonely to live alone."

"…"

As everyone knows, Qin Yan's new house was not settled after all, and the housewarming banquet was held, but it was changed to another place.

------

The two young men sitting next to the elegant room stopped talking after exaggerated laughter came from the next door.

When Qin Yan and Feng Yuyao left, Ji Mu, who was wearing a white robe, lifted the curtain and glanced outside, but his face was incredulous.

The one behind Princess Jingyi is Qin Yan?

Is Xie Shizi blind?

Is this ugly? There has never been such a beautiful woman in Shangjing.

"That one..."

Seeing that Ji Mu was a little out of his mind, Feng Zhan, the prince on the opposite side, cast a glance out.

At this moment, Qin Yan raised his head abruptly, two sharp gazes met, and then retracted at the same time.

Ji Mu is now working under Zuo Xiang's hand, and it is inconvenient to have open contact with the prince. He originally chose to report the news at the tea house to avoid people's eyes and ears, but the two listened to the conversation in the next box.

Ji Mu looked at the prince Feng Zhan, who was wearing a black brocade robe with golden lines, deep eyebrows and an indifferent expression.

"This Qin manor's daughter is very different from the rumors!"

Feng Zhan half-closed his long and narrow eyes, the tea in front of him did not move, and there was a white mist.

"Speak the business." Feng Zhan's voice was low and mellow.

Ji Muzheng said the news he found.

"There are many guests in the Zuo Prime Minister's House, and the accountant's expenditure is staggeringly huge. The source of the huge amount of money is a problem."

"Zuo Fang claimed that the second daughter who was brought back a few years ago was a lucky star. She was doing business in the south, and she was quite talented in business."

"And the second lady of Zuo Xiangfu's house, when she was young, she and her mother met a thief on the way to incense in a temple in Yangzhou, and was rescued by a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou. Later, an eminent monk once said that this woman will suffer a great catastrophe, if she wants to avoid it The misfortune should be raised in the Yangzhou Yujia who saved her. So this girl grew up in the Yangzhou Yujia since she was a child, and she was brought back to Beijing in recent years."

"I haven't been able to find any evidence that the Left Prime Minister is greedy for Mo. Maybe there is no corruption, but another source. But whether there is collusion between officials and businessmen, just..."

"Continue to investigate." Feng Zhan's tone was slightly cold.

"Zuo Xiang, after all, is His Highness's uncle..." Ji Mu said with consideration, seeing the prince's expression hesitating, the conversation changed sharply, "This Qin Yan, but a sweet pastry, His Royal Highness, the first is the strongest!"

What answered him was Feng Zhan's cold look.

"Very busy? The palace exam is about to start, and the list of the Zuo Prime Minister's support is not available yet, so you don't have to stay in Beijing. The coup in the southern border, where do you need someone to watch?" Feng Zhan's voice was cold.

"..." Southern Border... Poisonous Miasmas... Gu worms...

"Let's go check it out, the subordinates retire!" Ji Mu retreated numbly.

After Ji Mu left, Song Zhi came in and said shamefully,

"The adjacent box has already been cleared, but when Princess Jingyi came up, the subordinates didn't have time to stop them, so they entered the private room next door. The subordinates were ineffective and almost missed His Highness's affairs."

Fortunately, Princess Jingyi and her group laughed out loud when they entered the box next door, and reminded His Highness by the way.

"Go back and get twenty batons."

"My subordinates will be punished."

Feng Zhan tapped lightly on the table, Qin Yan?

------

Township government.

"The Qin mansion has come again today, and they were all stopped outside the mansion." Shen Huai waited for Qin Yan to return to the mansion, and immediately looked for him.

"Well" Qin Yan didn't care about this.

"The people from Concubine Shu in the palace have come to invite the young lady to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers tomorrow."

"Not interested in."

Concubine Shu, Qin Yan's aunt, is one of the four concubines and has two princes. It was a handkerchief to hand over to Song Mei, and she had never dealt with her mother before. She always felt that her mother had robbed Song Mei of the position of Mrs.

This Concubine Shu is probably here to discuss for Qin Nian.

"Concubine Shu's people said that their empress has news of the young lady." Uncle Huai added.

"Really?" Qin Yan sighed faintly.

Taking the news of my mother as an introduction, it seems that whether it is true or not, I have to go there.

Qin Yan played with a suet jade pendant with a cloud pattern in his hand, and suddenly the sharp eyes that met when he left the tea house today flashed across his mind.

Thinking of what Feng Yuyao said about seeing the prince's frame, could that be the legendary prince Feng Zhan with a thunderous wrist?

The two pictures of looking at each other through the windows in this chapter originate from the poet Bian Zhilin's "Broken Chapter" - "You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate others. dream."
