Chapter 172

As soon as Nangong Yan returned to Prince Rui's house, Duke Li came to send a message that the crown prince was waiting for him in the East Palace and asked him to have a chat.

The messenger came as soon as he got back to the mansion. The news is really well-informed, but what can he tell Nangong LAN?

"Go back first. I'll naturally visit the East Palace later."

At this time, Duke Li said, "the prince also invited the princess. At that time, the prince will hold a banquet in the Qingfeng pavilion to receive the prince and princess."

Nangong Yan and Ji Qingxue look at each other. It seems that the Hongmen banquet really has to go.

This time Ji Qingxue wore a big red palace dress and ordered a cinnabar mole in the center of his eyebrow, which looked very flirtatious.

Nangong Yan was a little unhappy: "why do you see Nangong LAN dressed so beautifully?"

At the moment, Nangong Yan is like a jar of old vinegar. It's really sour!

"I wear red clothes because it's not easy to be seen when blood splashes on me!"

This reason made Nangong Yan speechless: "what the princess said is reasonable."

The aged old housekeeper hides his face silently. Lord, you are too unprincipled!

Ji Qingxue and Nangong also got into the carriage. In the carriage, Ji Qingxue told Nangong Yan again and again: "wait a minute, if I can't help beating him, you remember to stop me."

I don't know why. Ji Qingxue's self-determination is good, but he itches inexplicably when he sees Nangong LAN and wants to beat him.

Nangong Yan was very curious: "did you want to beat me for a while?"

Ji Qingxue nodded honestly. There were many times when she wanted to beat him, especially when Nangong Yan pretended to be amnesic. She accompanied simayue to swim the lake and eat. She was so angry that she almost buried him alive.

Nangong Yan reached out and pinched her nose: "it seems that the princess has a bad word about the king. Maybe the king doesn't teach enough in ordinary days."

Wait a minute, what the hell is this inexplicable ambiguous tone!

Looking at Nangong Yan's ambiguous expression and thinking of his adjustment, Ji Qingxue suddenly turned red: "Nangong Yan, you talk nonsense again. Believe it or not, I pulled out your tongue!"

Nangong Yan laughed loudly. Although they were already close, Ji Qingxue still couldn't help teasing. He just liked to see her become angry.

Without saying anything, Nangong Yan clasped Ji Qingxue's head and kissed it, leaving only Ji Qingxue's vague voice.

The bodyguard outside the carriage kept reciting in his heart, don't look at or listen to!

It's really hard for him.

Qingfengge.

Nangong Lan said warmly, "fifth brother, you can come back. Today's banquet is for you and your younger brothers and sisters. It's all your favorite dishes. Have a try!"

Although the words are how to say, Nangong Lan's vision has always stayed on Ji Qingxue.

His eyes made nangongyan very uncomfortable, as if his beloved things were coveted by others.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew open the window of Qingfengge. Ji Qingxue shrunk his neck. Nangong Yan hurriedly asked her, "what's the matter? Is it a little cold?"

Before Nangong LAN spoke, Nangong Yan immediately took off his coat and put it on Ji Qingxue: "ah Xue, do you feel better now?"

Ji Qingxue smiled at him: "well, much better."

Nangong Lan's hands had already clenched their fists. The man had never smiled at himself like this.

"Fifth brother, try this steamed crucian carp. I remember you used to like this very much."

Nangong Yan said faintly, "the prince remembered wrong. It's not me who likes this dish, but the fourth brother."

Nangong Lan's face was stiff. She couldn't help putting down her chopsticks. The atmosphere became embarrassing.

At this time, Nangong Yan proposed to go to the Mingyue palace to see Nangong Xuan: "if the crown prince has nothing to do, ah Xue and I will go to the Mingyue Palace first. I heard that my father is seriously ill, and I really want to see it."

"Well, my father is seriously ill. You should go and have a look."

Nangong Yan gets up and leaves the table. Nangong LAN doesn't say a word. She just stares at their back and has cruel eyes.

He thought Ji Qingxue was dressed in Nangong Yan's coat. This scene made him look very dazzling. Nangong Yan, soon I will step on you under my feet, so that you can't turn over all your life.

Mingyue palace is now very lonely and depressed. Only a few old palace people are waiting on Nangong Xuan.

Nangong Yan came forward and called, "father, how are you recently?"

Nangong Xuan looked at him, suddenly in a trance. He blurted out and said, "feather clothes."

Nangong Yan was stunned. He didn't think that one day he would hear him call his mother's name from his father's mouth. He held the boxer tightly. Ji Qingxue looked worried in her eyes. She gently grabbed Nangong Yan's fist, slowly stretched it out, and whispered, "it's okay, I'm here."

With Ji Qingxue's appeasement, nangongyan's mood about to rage was appeased in an instant.

In fact, over the years, he wanted to ask him personally why he treated his mother and concubine so much and why he treated himself so much?

Nangong Xuan slowly said, "you're back. Sit down at will."

His eyes fell on Ji Qingxue. He couldn't help laughing and said, "in the end, you chose her."

Nangong Yan wants to stop talking. Ji Qingxue has been encouraging him with his eyes. He has endured it for so long. Now it's time to ask clearly.

"Father emperor, in fact, my ministers have always wanted to ask you a question."

"Come on, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

Nangong Yan closed his eyes and kept struggling in his heart. The surging emotion in his chest was shouting to break out. The pain he had endured over the years came to him like a tide.

For a long time, he asked, "father, have you ever really loved your mother, even if it was only for that moment?"

This problem. Nangong Xuan once asked himself, Chu Yushang, the woman who left her people recklessly and came to Dayan with herself.

"I owe a lot of people in my life, and the most sorry one is your mother and concubine."

He still didn't answer his question positively. Nangong Yan actually didn't hold any hope. The question he just asked was just to ask an answer for his mother's imperial concubine.

"Did you kill the mother imperial concubine?"

This time, Nangong Xuan stopped talking about him, but answered directly, yes.

Although he had known it for a long time, he said it from his mouth. It was another mood from Nangong Yan.

"Why, for the so-called immortality?"

Nangong Yan's expression is always light, not distinguishing between happiness and anger, but Ji Qingxue knows how much anger he hides in his calm appearance.

"You really knew everything long ago." Nangong Xuan slowly walked down the hall, "then why have you pretended not to know for so many years?"
