Imperial Palace, imperial study.

Her Majesty the newly crowned empress is busy in state affairs.

Shangguanyan sat on the chair and looked at the mountains of memorials in front of her. She was almost two big.

"Are you so tired to be a monarch... Suddenly I regret it..."

Shangguan Yan gritted her teeth and picked up a memorial.

A generation of emperor and a courtier. Zhang Dequan was originally the popular man in the imperial study. Now Zhang Dequan went to Taiyi palace with the supreme emperor. Shangguan Yan promoted an internal attendant named Wu Sixi.

Wu Sixi took a bowl of boiled lotus seed soup and came to shangguanyan with a smile: "Your Majesty, you have approved the folding for an hour. Have a rest."

Shangguanyan put the brush on the pen holder and leaned wearily against the back of the chair: "after an hour, I didn't see many folds."

Wu Sixi smiled: "Your Majesty has approved a lot. Moreover, you have just ascended the throne. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty point to you. You can take care of the dragon body."

Shangguanyan looked at the lotus seed soup he handed over. Wu Sixi understood, moved the fold in front of her and carefully put the lotus seed soup in her hand.

Shangguan Yan scooped a spoonful and was about to drink. When she remembered something, she asked, "is the sending off team leaving?"

"Let's go," said Wu Sixi. "It should be out of Shengdu by now."

Shangguanyan sighed.

Wu Sixi smiled and stopped talking.

Shangguanyan noticed his abnormality and asked, "what else?"

"Ah..." Wu Sixi said with a smile, "the twenty CHILDES from the state of Jin... Are still arranged in Chu Xiu palace. I don't know how your majesty plans to settle them."

"I haven't settled it yet..." Shangguan Yan whispered. What's wrong with the state of Jin? She has to send twenty beautiful men. What kind of harem does she want to fill? Her son is so old!

She said positively, "among these people, they may be all spies from the state of Jin. Make your own arrangements. Don't let them starve to death."

"Yes." Wu Sixi replied with a smile.

He secretly regretted that those men were really handsome and very beautiful. Since too many women became female emperors, it was reasonable to open the harem.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yanshan, please see me."

Outside the door came the report of the little eunuch.

Shangguanyan put down the spoon: "Xuan."

Wu Sixi looked at the door, cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, "Xuan - Yan Shan Jun's audience -"

Shangguan Yan glanced at him speechless.

Wu Sixi turned around and smiled, "slaves and slaves are also the first time."

You can publicize people and have an addiction.

Mr. Yanshan entered the imperial study and bowed: "Your Majesty."

Shangguan Yan asked, "why did Uncle Huang come here today?"

Yanshan Jun looked at both sides.

"You step down," said Shangguan Yan.

"Yes!" Wu Sixi and the eunuchs and maids in the imperial study respectfully withdrew.

Shangguanyan saw Yanshan Jun staring at her bowl. She pushed the bowl over: "do you want to eat lotus seed soup? I didn't move."

Yanshan Jun came to the desk and sat down. He took the lotus seed soup and an empty tea cup from one side.

He smiled faintly and said, "to tell you the truth, I came to say goodbye to your majesty today."

Shangguan Yan asked, "are you leaving again?"

Yanshan Jun smiled and said, "Sheng has nothing to do with me. I want to take Xiaoxue out for a walk."

Shangguan Yan whispered: "one or two have gone..."

Yanshan King paused and said kindly, "in addition, I have come to ask your majesty to take back my royal identity."

Shangguan Yan looked at him strangely: "why take it back? I said I wouldn't investigate you for hiding your troops."

"That's not the reason." he bowed his head and smiled bitterly. "I was not a royal family of Dayan, but a child born by my mother and Turks."

"I know," said shangguanyan.

She looked at him for a moment. After so much wasted life and death, her eyes had no young innocence and green, but a little more perseverance of the superior.

The only constant is that she has no intention of beating around the bush when facing people she trusts enough.

Yanshan Jun looked away and looked at the scenery outside the window, but sighed: "In addition, the emperor and I are not half brothers. The emperor's brother is a child held by the empress from Liu Meimei. The empress gave birth to a baby girl that year, and Liu Meimei gave birth to a prince. In order to consolidate her position, the empress and Liu Meimei exchanged each other's flesh and blood. Liu Meimei had a poor fortune and died of illness in a few years. Don't worry, it's not the poisonous hand of the empress, otherwise the emperor's brother wouldn't be so filial to her."

Shangguanyan was surprised: "there is such a thing... Does he know?"

Yanshan Jun looked at her again, "you said brother Huang? He should know that Princess Anle is the mother's flesh and blood."

Shangguanyan recalled: "no wonder he was so close to Aunt Anle and made me grow up to be filial to her."

Yanshan Jun said, "Princess Anle's fief is in Nanjun. It's the richest one except your fief in those years."

Shangguanyan looked at him suspiciously: "why did you suddenly tell me this?"

Yanshan Jun smiled and said, "if I don't tell you, how can you agree to take back my royal identity?"

Shangguanyan said bitterly, "you don't want to be my uncle?"

Yanshan Jun stretched out his hand and sighed: "it's boring for uncle Huang to be bullied by you from childhood."

Shangguan Yan whispered, "I didn't mean to... Who made you so careless..."

"OK," said Yanshan Jun.

"What's good?" Shangguan Yan was stunned.

Yanshan Jun put the lotus seed soup back in front of her: "you like to eat the soup made of lotus seeds, but you never eat lotus seeds."

Shangguan Yan stared at the lotus seed he picked in the empty cup: "I still have this problem?"

She was nervous about food, clothing, housing and transportation. She never cared about such details. Wu Sixi asked her what she wanted to eat. She casually said lotus seed soup.

But when the lotus seed soup was presented, she didn't eat it all the time.

Did you dislike the lotus seeds inside?

Yanshan Jun stood up with a smile: "Your Majesty, state affairs are busy. I'll go first."

Shangguanyan nodded.

Yanshan Jun turned and walked out of the imperial study. Everyone went out, but his steps stopped: "Shangguan Yan, when we meet again next time, I won't be your uncle."

……

The procession of welcoming relatives went out of Shengdu.

Xuanyuanqi doesn't like to ride a carriage. He rides a horse.

Dust also rode with him.

Father and son rarely enjoy the leisure time after their reunion.

Gu's grandparents and Tang Yueshan, who originally wanted to ride a horse, had to sit in a carriage at this time.

Tang Yueshan had a black and blue face, a big bag on his head, a bandage wrapped around his left arm and hung it around his neck. His face was pasted with pink page band aid, and a ball of cotton was blocked in his left nostril.

It can be said to be very sad.

He said wrongfully, "I just told a big truth. You beat me... So many people joined hands to bully me... Don't talk about martial virtue..."

Gu Chengfeng snorted coldly, "you deserve it! Hiss -"

As soon as the words fell, he took a breath of pain.

His condition is no better than that of Tang Yueshan.

When Grandpa learned that he was a thief, he repaired him severely. He was also covered with color and bandage.

Gu Changqing was different. He was neither beaten nor punished, but his faith collapsed. He sat in the carriage like a puppet without soul.

The old Marquis glared at the three people and silently covered the gauze on his forehead.

He was also injured. It was too embarrassing. He left the scene in a hurry. As a result, the soles of his feet slipped and fell. He knocked his forehead on the threshold and almost opened his head on the spot.

In the whole thing, Gu Jiao is probably the only one who is not embarrassed.

Unaffected by the loss of her horse, she sat leisurely in the carriage and counted the gold given to her by the Duke of ANN.

"Are these all mine?" she held a small box and looked at the nine small boxes on the floor.

An Guogong spoiled and smiled: "well, it's all yours."

Gu Jiao is very happy!

She counted the gold attentively. The Duke of an looked at her gently. The afternoon sun opened the window and came in. There was a quiet and beautiful place in the carriage.

……

The road after spring is easier than winter.

After a month's long journey, the party finally arrived at the capital of the state of Zhao.

This was not only an ordinary marriage, but also the first marriage between the two countries. Xuanyuan Qi, an Guogong and liaochen all went to the state of Zhao as envoys of the state of Yan.

Their whereabouts along the way were rushed to the Imperial Palace by local post stations. The emperor of Zhao was very excited. This was the first visit of Yan state. He attached great importance to it, ordered people out of the city to meet them early, and set up a reception banquet in the imperial palace.

When the news reached Zhuque street, Princess Xinyang was practicing calligraphy with Guan Qing in the yard.

Shangguanqing finally realized his mother's strictness.

Ten calligraphy notes a day. Don't eat until you finish practicing.

Duke Xuanping is teasing his daughter in the yard.

Little Yiyi has been five months. She just learned to turn over a few days ago. She is lying on the big bamboo bed and giggling with her father.

"What are you talking about? The envoys of the state of Yan have arrived? So have the people of the government?" Princess Xinyang looked at the bodyguard who reported to her at the door. She knew that Gu Jiao lived in the government and that an Guogong was his adoptive father.

The bodyguard bowed his hand: "if you return to the princess, the Duke of an and the young master of the family will arrive, and so will the ten mile red makeup."

Princess Xinyang was stunned: "what young master... Ten li red makeup?"

The bodyguard also just inquired about the news from the post station. He glanced at Marquis Xuanping, who looked as if nothing had happened. He hardened his head and said: "it is said that... It was the Marquis who sent someone to propose marriage to the young master of the government of Anguo. The Duke agreed to the marriage and came to marry him with his son. Now... It has been spread all over the capital. The young Marquis wants to marry a man..."

Princess Xinyang looked at Marquis Xuanping and snapped her brush: "Xiao Ji!!!"
