In June, the earth is baking under the bright sun, and the heat is rolling. Even the vegetation on the roadside looks listless, and people are even more upset and agitated by the sultry weather.

In the living room in the backyard of the state government office, even though more than a dozen basins of ice have been placed, the people in the room still feel a little hot.

There were many people sitting in the living room, among whom Yan Zhigao was sitting uneasily in the main seat, his eyes occasionally glancing at the two young men in rich attires sitting on the left, and at the same time, he kept looking at the door.

At this moment, he felt very uneasy because he had just learned that the person his eldest daughter saved was actually Prince Ping's legitimate son.

Although he had already guessed that he was from the royal family, he was still a little caught off guard when it was confirmed in person that he didn't know how to talk to him.

For the Yan family, this person’s status is too high.

It's so high that he has to treat it with caution, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he will annoy the other person and cause trouble for the Yan family.

He is not afraid of offending people in the officialdom. The worst is, he will no longer be an official. But he really has no courage to offend the royal family. Not only cannot he offend, but he also has to serve them well.

Yan Zhigao wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned his attention to the door again.

Hey, I really shouldn’t have agreed to mother and Daohua going to Zhuangzi yesterday.

The nobleman called by name and came to pay homage to the old lady, but unexpectedly he came to nothing.

I don’t know if Wen Tao has arrived at Zhuangzi?

In the living room, just as anxious as Yan Zhigao was Zhou Chengye, Zhou's eldest grandson.

The Zhou family has been operating in Xingzhou for several generations, and has connections all over the place. To put it bluntly, whenever something happens in Xingzhou, the Zhou family can hardly hide it.

Therefore, as soon as the young prince and the chief minister's son entered the boundaries of Xingzhou, the Zhou family received the news.

Immediately, Grandpa urged him to come over and pay homage. It would be best if he could invite him to the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Chengye took a vague look at the royal family member in front of him, who was deeply loved by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, but was very controversial in the capital.

How favored is this legitimate son of Prince Ping in the palace?

There are many princes in the entire capital, and there are even more princes' heirs, but this is the only one who dares to call himself a young prince.

You must know that the royal rules are strict. If the prince's son wants to inherit the throne, he must wait for the prince to abdicate in old age before he can apply for the title. Only then can he call himself prince. Before that, even if there is an extra small word in front of it, it is an overstep.<

/p>

I heard that this man was only a few years old, so people in the palace already called him the little prince. The emperor and the queen mother still indulged him. This shows how favored this man is.

Zhou Chengye looked at Master Zhizhou Yan again and saw his reserved look. He was very confused. If the young prince came to visit him in person, his relationship must be very strong.

But from the time they entered the house until now, Mr. Yan and the young prince have not exchanged a few words, and they look very unfamiliar.

This made him a little confused.

Regarding the fact that there are noble people behind the Yan family, the Zhou family also inquired about it, but the final result of the inquiry was stopped by the chief minister. I really didn't expect that the Yan family could get to know the royal family.

The living room was a little quiet. After waiting for more than an hour, Xiao Yeyang, who was already in a bad mood, his face darkened.

He has never been a tolerant person, and there are few people in the world who can make him control his temper. If he is unhappy, he will usually show it directly.

So much so that people in the capital said he had a bigger temper than the prince and said he was unruly.

He never cared about this and continued to go his own way.

It's really ridiculous that he, a young prince, has to tolerate those who are below him.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's face tense and impatient, even the chief envoy Dong Yuanxuan who followed him couldn't help but become anxious.

He brought the young prince out to relax, not to make him more angry.

The same goes for the Yan family. They really don’t know how to receive noble people. He is convinced that someone can be called for so long.

Looking at the empty tea bowl again, Xiao Yeyang was impatient to wait any longer. He could get off the boat regardless of the hot weather and ride a horse to Zhouya himself. He just remembered the rice flowers that had brought him some novel feelings.
p>

During this period, he saw a lot of flatterers, and he felt disgusted in his heart. Thinking of Daohua who dared to touch him and scold him whenever he made a mistake, he stopped by to take a look.

Others have always been waiting for him, so he could sit here patiently for nearly two hours because Daohua and Yan Wentao had saved him. If it had been normal, he would have left in shame.

"Let's go!"

Without saying hello to Yan Zhigao or looking at Zhou Chengye, Xiao Yeyang stood up and walked towards the courtyard gate.

As soon as he moved, everyone else stood up.

Yan Zhigao wanted to persuade him to stay, but he also knew that the Yan family was afraid of offending this noble young prince. For a moment, he didn't know how to speak, so he could only follow behind him silently.

Zhou Chengye actually wanted to say a few words. Except for the first time when he paid his respects, the young prince said a few words to him. At other times, he didn't even have a chance to speak.

But looking at Xiao Yeyang's stern face at this moment, he was a little afraid to speak.

Dong Yuanxuan would not offend Xiao Yeyang when he was still angry because of two families with whom he had no friendship.

The group of people arrived at the gate silently.

"Xiao Yeyang!"

As soon as Xiao Yeyang stepped out of the gate, he heard a crisp voice that did not conceal his surprise. When he raised his head, he saw a petite and agile green figure jumping down from a carriage that had just stopped outside the gate, and then

, trotted towards him.

Her smiling face and eyes as bright as stars shone into his gloomy heart just like the sunshine splitting the dark clouds.

Daohua came to Xiao Yeyang with some breathlessness, and said excitedly: "It's really you, Xiao Yeyang, I thought I would never see you again in this life."

The joyful words brought Xiao Yeyang back to his senses. This time, when he saw the familiar and unfamiliar little girl in front of him, he was stunned again.

Daohua stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xiao Yeyang's eyes a few times: "Why, you don't recognize me anymore? I'm Daohua!"

"You...you, what kind of girl are you?" Xiao Yeyang was silent for a while before finding his voice.

Daohua said in surprise: "Xiao Yeyang, you don't really think of me as a boy, do you? Although I was wearing men's clothes, my name is Daohua, and it sounds like a woman. Can you see

Is anyone with a flower in his name a man?"

Xiao Yeyang immediately said: "I've seen it before." Many actors have flowers in their names, but it's hard to say this, especially to an official lady. Those who didn't know better thought he was comparing people to actors.

What?

Daohua didn't dwell on the matter and looked at Xiao Yeyang with a smile: "I'm so happy to see you again!"

Such straightforward words made Xiao Yeyang slightly uncomfortable. However, he was not disgusted at all, and was actually a little excited because he could feel that Daohua was really happy.

Afterwards, Daohua bowed to Yan Zhigao and others, glanced at the bright sun above her head, and said: "The sun is too strong here, let's go inside to talk." After that, he took the lead in stepping through the threshold.

When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he followed him without hesitation.

Everyone who had just come out of Yan's house looked at each other silently, smiled at each other, and stepped into Yan's house again.

During this period, both Dong Yuanxuan and Zhou Chengye looked at the rice flowers curiously.

The servants from various families who had been waiting outside the Yan family's door to inquire about the news immediately went back to report the news after learning the name of the Yan family's guest.

General judge.

When Wang Tongpan found out that the person who went to Yan's house was Xiao Yeyang, his expression suddenly changed. He walked back and forth in the study for a while, and immediately wrote a letter to Senator Du, offering to help ask for funds to build the river embankment.

Tongzhijia.

After Qian Tongzhi heard the news, he looked sad. He never expected that the Yan family could have a relationship with the royal family. Fortunately, in the state government, he didn't do anything too bad.
