Chapter 86: It looks good and smells good!
As the two were talking, they saw two women coming in from outside. Duan Tianya knew that they could not discuss the matter any further.
"Then I will take my leave first. Your Highness, rest assured that I will take care of all these matters."
Xiao Yan nodded, and after watching Duan Tianya leave, Xiao Yan stood up and walked to the two girls.
"Youyue...this matter..."
Xiao Yan still didn't know how to explain this matter. After all, he did let others down.
"Your Highness, there is no need to explain. You are the Crown Prince and it is my honor to serve you. I dare not ask for more."
"It's enough that you have me in your heart!"
Hearing Ye Youyue say this, Xiao Yan felt a little embarrassed.
"Thanks!"
Xiao Yan could only utter these two pale words.
"Okay, stop showing off your affection. I've made an appointment with Sister Youyue to take me around Bianjing City later."
"This is something that Yanzhou City cannot compare to."
Xiao Yan nodded and said, "That's good. Go out and relax. Go to the inner palace to get some silver and buy whatever you want."
Xiao Yan could only give the two of them some financial support now. As for shopping, he was really afraid.
"Go out and bring some plainclothes guards to protect your safety. There are many people watching the East Palace right now!"
Hearing this, Jia Lingyao smiled and said, "Why? Your Highness, you don't believe in my Kung Fu? How about I have a match with Lord Duan sometime to open your eyes?"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "No, I know you are very good at martial arts, but it is easy to dodge a spear, but it is hard to guard against an arrow from the dark, so be careful!"
Jia Lingyao also roughly knew Xiao Yan's current situation. If the two of them were captured, Xiao Yan would definitely be greatly restrained.
"Okay, then let's do as your highness says."
"I will not accompany you. I need to go to the palace to meet my father. You should be careful."
Although Ye Youyue didn't know what exactly happened, she felt that meeting the emperor was definitely more important than accompanying her shopping.
Jia Lingyao naturally understood that Xiao Yan wanted to talk to the emperor about the affairs of the royal family and the Marquis of Guanjun's Mansion.
"Come back early, I'm leaving first!"
The two girls nodded and watched Xiao Yan leave.
Xiao Yan actually didn't understand what means Jia Lingyao used to resolve this Shura scene, otherwise it would be difficult for him.
But I couldn't ask in such a situation, I could only brush it off and ask again later.
The Imperial Palace.
"Your son pays respect to your father!"
After not seeing him for a few days, the old emperor seemed much more energetic, although he was still confined to bed.
"My prince, please excuse me. You're back so soon? Is the matter resolved?"
The old emperor asked in a joking tone: "Father, why didn't you explain this to me in advance?"
"This is a complete mistake. If I had known that lighting the beacon fire would have worked, why would I have gone to Yanzhou?"
The old emperor shook his head and said, "Superficial!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you have signed a marriage contract with the Guanjun Marquis's Mansion, right?"
Xiao Yan sat down and said, "Indeed, but it is also a helpless move. Although it is possible not to sign a marriage contract, I feel that it will make the Marquis of Guanjun look down on me."
"But this marriage is not bad. Not to mention that the girl is a good girl, just considering the relationship with the Champion Marquisate, the Champion Marquisate is completely tied to the chariot of my royal family."
"No matter how you calculate it, our royal family won't lose out!"
The old emperor smiled, his eyes thoughtful.
"I thought you saw through it, but in fact you still didn't. The relationship with the Champion Marquis's Mansion is secondary."
"No matter which royal family the Champion Marquisate signs a marriage contract with, they will be tied to our chariot."
"But this is just to tie it to your chariot, not the royal family, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Xiao Yan finally understood what Jia Fu meant when he said that the command right belonged to Xiao Yan alone.
"I understand, thank you father!"
The old emperor was also very pleased that Xiao Yan understood the true importance of these relationships.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. What is she like?"
Xiao Yan said without hesitation: "It looks good!"
The old emperor was somewhat confused after hearing this: "I just said that you are superficial, and it really is true."
"I am asking about her character, or her ability. After all, she is the future Crown Princess."
Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Father, character is important, but to be the Crown Princess one must have outstanding appearance. Although it is useless, it smells good."
"Besides, her character is absolutely impeccable. In fact, she returned to the capital with me this time to relax."
"I also brought her to see Youyue. I thought it would be a Shura scene, but I didn't expect it to be easily resolved by her."
The old emperor's eyes widened when he heard this.
"You brought him back so quickly? Didn't the Champion Marquis cause you any trouble?"
Xiao Yan shook his head and said, "Father, to be honest, this is exactly what the Marquis of Guanjun meant."
The old emperor immediately understood what he meant.
"This Jia Fu is using the same tactics against me."
"He didn't say when he would come to the capital?"
Xiao Yan looked at the emperor who understood something and did not ask any questions. He just replied, "He will come to pick up his daughter in a while!"
The old emperor nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then bring him to see me when he comes to Beijing."
After the conversation, the two of them ran out of topics to talk about, like most fathers and sons.
"Be nice to Youyue girl. After all, my royal family owes him this matter."
"Let's not talk about how many times she has saved me. Just because she has committed herself to you, you can't let her down."
In fact, considering that Ye Youyue had saved the emperor so many times, it would not be difficult for her to become a crown princess. However, Ye Youyue did not ask for anything in return, which shows how deeply she loved Xiao Yan.
"And I understand!"
The old emperor then nodded with relief.
"By the way, did you make these things, or did you copy them?"
As he spoke, he took out the teaching poems that Xiao Yan had given to little A Zi.
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned, this thing was indeed copied by him.
No, how can we talk about scholars' affairs by copying? It's just reference.
"These are indeed made by your son, but they are only used to enlighten the imperial sister!"
The old emperor indeed shook his head upon hearing this and said: "What you have done is comparable to the works of the masters, and is far superior to them."
"When did you become so talented in writing? I know everything you did in the East Palace before."
Speaking of this, the old emperor still had a tone of disappointment .
"Father, you also know the situation at that time. If I hadn't tried to deceive others , do you think I would still be alive today?"
Xiao Yan had no choice but to make up an excuse. After all, the original owner was really a piece of shit.
"Oh? So, those ridiculous things you did were to deceive others and protect yourself?"
Xiao Yan nodded. It would be great if the old emperor thought so!
