The time when Xiao Yechen arrived at Four Seasons Villa was unfortunate, as Daohua took Prince Ping and Gu Jian out to inspect the autumn harvest of each village.

After Gu Jian moved into Four Seasons Villa, except for a few tenants who were good at farming, most of them were replaced by the emperor's people.

Dong Li and Cai Ju repeatedly told the village head that outsiders were not allowed to enter the village at will, so Xiao Yechen was ruthlessly stopped outside the village.

Xiao Yechen was quite angry about this.

Looking at the closed door, Xiao Yechen's personal eunuch Gao Fang looked angry: "The Lord of Shengping County hasn't married into the palace yet, so he doesn't take you seriously, the eldest son. He doesn't even care about the village.

Let you in."

Xiao Yechen snorted coldly: "Xiao Yeyang has not tolerated my mother and concubine since she was a child. Yan Yiyi is his fiancée, so she naturally wants to follow her husband."

Gao Fang hesitated and said: "Sir, the prince is not here, what should we do now? Go back?"

Xiao Yechen frowned, wondering if Yan Yiyi had deliberately concealed the news of his arrival, in order to keep his father at Four Seasons Villa, so as to further win over his father.

You know, the relationship between father and Xiao Yeyang has become so estranged over the years. A large part of the reason is that the two rarely have contact and communication, resulting in conflicts and misunderstandings.

He is really worried that if his father continues to stay at Four Seasons Villa, the relationship between his father and Xiao Yeyang will gradually ease due to Yan Yiyi's matchmaking, and he will favor Xiao Yeyang again.

"No, we're not leaving. Go tell the people in Zhuangzi that I must see my father today." With that, he turned around and returned to the carriage.

Gao Fang told Zhuangtou.

Zhuangtou was from the emperor, and he was very confident. He said directly: "The prince is really not in Zhuangzi. Young Master Xiao can just wait if he wants."

This attitude made Gao Fang very angry. He returned to the carriage and made another irritating comment about Daohua.

"The Lord of Shengping County really comes from a small family. He thinks that once he becomes powerful, he will not take anyone seriously. Young Master, she despises you like this. After returning home, I will have to have a good relationship with the princess."

Tell me, after she marries into the palace, let the princess set the rules for her."

Xiao Yechen's eyes were sinister: "If Yan Yi dares to be so arrogant, it is only Xiao Yeyang's power, Xiao Yeyang..."

This man is really annoying. Why didn't he drown in the icy lake? He was abducted by human traffickers, but he could still come back to compete with him for the title of the palace and the favor of his father.

Gao Fang looked around: "Master, are we just waiting by the roadside?"

Xiao Yechen: "Just wait! Just let everyone see how the Yan family treats guests." He had to pick up his father today.

......

Prince Yong's village is next to Four Seasons Villa. The old prince is old and thinks there are too many things in the palace, so he spends at least half of the month living in the village on the Tangyu Mountain side.

Xiao Yechen was stopped outside Four Seasons Villa, and the servant immediately told the old prince.

"This Lord of Shengping County, I really don't know where her confidence comes from. She has only been in Beijing for a few months, and she has offended a lot of people." The emperor said with a sneer.

In the past two years, the eldest prince has been secretly wooing Prince Yong.

Because the emperor respected the old prince very much, the eldest prince took a fancy to this and hoped to get his support so that he could speak for him in front of the emperor.

Knowing that Prince Yong was living in Zhuangzi during this period, the eldest prince came over today when he was free.

Prince Yonglao glanced at the eldest prince and continued to play with the bird in the cage. Although there was no reaction on his face, he thought about it in his heart.

If the painting he saw in Qianqing Palace was as he suspected, then the backstage of Shengping County would be tough.

When the eldest prince saw that Prince Yong ignored him again, he felt a little annoyed and confused. Logically speaking, he was his father's eldest son and his abilities were not bad. Why couldn't Prince Yong support him?

When it was almost noon, Prince Yong saw that the eldest prince was still hanging around. After thinking about it, he called the steward: "Is Yechen still waiting?"

The steward nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Prince Yong Lao: "It's going to be lunch time soon. Go and invite him to Zhuangzi."

The eldest prince was a little anxious after hearing this. Xiao Yechen is the third son. He came here without telling the others. If Xiao Yechen comes, the other brothers will definitely know that he is wooing the old prince soon. .

Looking at the steward who quickly retreated, the eldest prince opened his mouth, but he did not dare to stop him.

After a while, Xiao Yechen was invited over by the steward.

Xiao Yechen was not surprised when he saw the eldest prince. When the steward invited him, he casually told him about this. As the eldest prince thought, he immediately sent someone to deliver a message to the third prince.

......

That afternoon, when Daohua came back from outside with Prince Gu Jian and Heping, the eldest prince, second prince, third prince, and fifth prince had already drank several pots of tea in Prince Yong's village.

Xiao Yechen has been sending people to watch outside Zhuangzi, so he immediately knew that Daohua and the others were back: "Old prince, my father is back, so I will leave first."

Prince Yonglao was thinking about the master of Shengping County who had never shown his face, so he smiled and said: "I don't even know that Xiaojiu is here at Tangyu Mountain. Come on, I will go and see with you."

After hearing this, several princes had no choice but to follow.

On the other side, before Daohua and his carriage entered Four Seasons Villa, they heard Xiao Yechen's shout from behind.

"Father!"

Prince Ping and Gu Jian were riding in one carriage, and Daohua was riding in the other carriage. Upon hearing Xiao Yechen's voice, Prince Ping immediately opened the curtain, directly exposing Gu Jian in the carriage to everyone.

In front of him, Dongli was too late to stop him.

When Prince Yong saw Gu Jian, even though he had some suspicions in his heart, he was still shocked and froze on the spot.

Gu Jian also saw Prince Yong, couldn't help but frowned, reached out and flicked Prince Ping's elbow, and the car curtain fell again.

"Old man, why did you hit me?"

Prince Ping rubbed his numb elbow and looked at Gu Jian in confusion and disbelief.

He is a prince, how dare this old man hit him!

And why?

They get along pretty well these days.

Gu Jian glanced at Prince Ping lightly: "I don't like to see strangers."

Just when Prince Ping was about to speak, Dao Hua, who was in the carriage in front, got out of the carriage with a curtain, walked up to Prince Yong and several princes and saluted: "Shengping has met Prince Yong, met several princes, met Xiao Da

Young Master."

Prince Yonglao had come to his senses at this time, endured the turmoil in his heart, smiled and let the saluting rice flowers rise: "Is the county master going out?"

Daohua smiled and replied: "Everywhere is busy with the autumn harvest recently, so I took my elders in the family to visit other villages and relax."

Prince Yong was the elder, so Prince Ping couldn't continue to sit in the carriage. He got out of the carriage and greeted Prince Yong, then looked at the eldest princes and asked with a smile: "Uncle Wang, why are you talking to Ye Heng and the others?"

Are we together?"

Prince Yong glanced at the carriage and said with a smile: "We just happened to meet him."

Prince Ping looked at Xiao Yechen again: "Chen'er, why are you here?"

Xiao Yechen looked at Prince Ping with admiration: "Father, you haven't been back to the palace for a long time. I miss you."

Prince Ping was stunned for a moment: "I haven't returned to the palace for a long time?"

Xiao Yechen said quietly: "Father, it will be September in two days."

Prince Ping said "Ah": "It's already September, time flies so fast."

Xiao Yechen looked at the carriage. The third prince had already told him that the person sitting in the carriage was Yan Yiyi's master. He immediately said: "Father, who is the person in the carriage? The old prince and several princes are here.

, and you didn’t even mention coming down to meet me?”

Prince Ping quickly looked at the carriage and felt that it was unreasonable for Gu Jian not to get out of the car to greet him. He opened his mouth to call him down, but when the words came to his lips, he thought of the penetrating look Gu Jian occasionally looked at him and swallowed them back silently.<

/p>

The third prince had been ignored by the emperor during this period, and he was already dissatisfied with Xiao Yeyang and Daohua. Seeing that Gu Jian was unwilling to get out of the car to greet him, he snorted coldly: "Master Shengping County, what, your master thinks that the old prince

Aren't you and I the prince worthy of getting out of the car to greet you?"

Hearing this, before Daohua could react, Prince Yong scolded the third prince: "Ye Zhen, be careful, the old man is old, so it's understandable that he doesn't get out of the car. How can he be so good when he's away from home?"

What a courtesy."

Hearing this, the eldest princes were a little confused.

If you are older, can you stop getting out of the car to see the gift?

What is this rule?

Daohua glanced at the third prince, and secretly thought to herself that this man really didn't remember to fight, he wanted to die. Even the emperor wouldn't let his master salute, but he dared to speak.

However, the words still explain it.

Daohua looked at Old Prince Yong with a smile: "Old Prince and several princes, please forgive me, it is not convenient for my master to get off the carriage."

Prince Yonglao immediately said it was okay.
