Yan Xi was stunned, and suddenly felt a little moved by Rong Che's persistence.
"Your Majesty, little girl..." Yan Xi's eloquence suddenly stopped working.
Rong Che took a deep breath, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "It's okay, I just asked casually. Whether the seventh lady comes back or not has nothing to do with me."
Yan Xi thought about it for a while, wondering whether he should continue this topic. He was not sure of his daughter's true intentions and did not dare to leave hope for Rong Che easily, but seeing Rong Che like this made him feel uncomfortable.
After struggling for a long time, he finally said: "My daughter has been away for more than five years, but there is not even half a letter. The minister and my wife... are very worried."
Rong Che's heartbeat skipped half a beat when he heard it. He still didn't dare to turn around, but just asked: "Is she... in danger?"
Although the voice was calm, Yan Xi could hear deep concern and tension.
"That's not true...probably not. The Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce is still operating normally. Qing'er must be fine too." After returning from the secret realm last time, Yan Qingzheng confessed to his family that the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce was his own property, so Yan Qingzheng
Although the family could not contact Yan Qingzheng, they felt relieved after learning through the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce that they were still in contact with her.
"Oh." Rong Che was still taciturn. He only said a few words when it came to Yan Qingzheng. Now that he knew she was safe and sound, he said no more.
The eunuchs in the East Palace had already seen Rong Che coming and hurriedly reported that the prince was drinking tea and chatting with the princess Yan Shuangyu. After hearing the report, he hesitated and asked: "Who are you talking about? My little uncle?"
"Yes, Your Highness, and Master Yan."
The prince jumped up and went out. Yan Shuangyu saw the prince off and sighed slightly.
As a result, the prince waited and waited for Rong Che to come in, and then called the eunuch who had sent the message over to ask, saying that Prince Xuan and Master Yan were standing talking outside the east palace gate.
The prince was puzzled and stopped waiting. He simply ran out to greet him.
Just as Rong Che lifted his legs and walked in, the two of them almost bumped into each other!
"Hey, little uncle, you're here!" The prince grabbed Rong Che's hand in surprise. Rong Che withdrew his hand calmly and calmly, stepped back and bowed: "I see your highness the prince!
"
The prince was stunned, flattened his lips in aggrieved manner, and said: "Young uncle, no courtesy."
"Meet the prince!" Yan Xi also saluted him.
The prince hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Your Majesty, please excuse me. Please get up."
It is said that his respect for Yan Xi has remained the same for ten years!
"Please quickly!" The prince no longer pulled Rong Che recklessly, but just invited the two of them in.
After sitting down, the prince felt a little restrained. After all, Rong Che's coldness and Yan Xi's seriousness made his hot heart cool down.
"The little emperor's uncle hasn't been in the palace for a long time." The prince still felt like crying. The little emperor's uncle used to be cold to others, but he was still very good to himself. Unlike now, he is rejecting others thousands of miles away.
"Your Majesty... the situation is special." Rong Che replied calmly.
The prince glanced at Yan Xi and sighed secretly. He naturally knew why Yan Xi followed Rong Che.
"Your Majesty, I'm relieved. I'm going to leave." Rong Che touched the tea cup and stood up to say goodbye.
The prince didn't have time to stay, and watched him leave calmly. He knew that nothing could go back to the past, and that girl hurt him too deeply!
The prince couldn't calm down in the empty room for a long time. For the first time, he regretted that he had provoked Yan Qingzheng in his youth and frivolity, causing the little emperor's uncle to be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.
He knew that Rong Che had a stubborn temper. If he didn't become emotional, he would be alone, but once he became emotional, he would be there for the rest of his life!
At this time, Yan Qing was going to Prince Xuan's palace, but unfortunately Rong Che entered the palace.
She observed in the dark for a long time that everything in Prince Xuan's Mansion remained the same, with no changes and no trace of the mistress. She felt much more at ease.
However, there are a lot fewer servants in the mansion, and the garden is a little depressed.
Considering that person's rigid character, this is a bit strange.
After all, she returned to the capital. Thinking that the future would be long, she returned to Yanfu.
Nalan Lianyue burst into tears. On the one hand, she was happy that her daughter was finally back. She also thought that her daughter was going to ascend directly and never come back, so she planned to cut off all ties with her and stop contacting her.
On the other hand, they complained that there was no news from their daughter for five years, which made them anxious for five years!
Yan Qing just apologized and acted coquettishly, and finally managed to coax his mother.
Mrs. Yan, who has not been a director for a few years, came out to meet this little granddaughter today.
Yan Qingzheng collected many life-prolonging elixirs from his master's sect and gave them to Mrs. Yan, his master and his wife with both hands.
However, Master Yan just looked at the jade bottle containing the elixir and said with a smile: "Prolonging life...it's really good."
Mrs. Yan was overjoyed. When she heard what the old man said, she thoughtfully restrained her smile and put the jade bottle on the table.
Yan Qingzheng didn't know why, so Mrs. Yan looked at Yan Qingzheng kindly and said, "Qing'er, you are a good and filial boy. Grandpa is very pleased."
Yan Qing lowered his head with a look of shame on his face: "My granddaughter has been away for many years, but she has never shown her filial piety in front of her grandparents. She is not worthy of the word filial piety."
"Qing'er, you have your own way to go, don't let us old guys and these worldly rules constrain you! You have been extremely smart since you were a child, and you have the best ideas. My grandfather didn't understand it before, but only in the past few years have I realized that the golden dragon is
Things in the pool! It’s still the same meaning. You should take the path you want to take, and don’t let your family become a stumbling block for you.”
Yan Qingzheng had a lump in his throat, a sore nose, and almost shed tears.
"Qing'er has never felt that family members are a stumbling block..."
"Grandpa knows!"
"What your grandfather means is that we as elders have our natural responsibilities, and you don't have to stick to this." Old Mrs. Yan said.
"Qing'er understands, but Qing'er feels very happy to have a family."
Mrs. Yan nodded and said happily: "We know."
"Even though your child is very talented, you were taught very well by your mother. You are proud but not arrogant. This is very rare." Mrs. Yan said pertinently, "Your grandfather and I are not ignorant of Xuanmen.
, your mother’s side of the family…we were also in contact with her at the beginning.” Mrs. Yan felt that it was not appropriate to gossip about her grandfather’s family in front of her granddaughter, so she told her about it. In fact, Yan Yang, as the eldest brother, went to the Nalan family to discuss the matter.
During the wedding, I felt quite aggrieved.
However, Nalan Lingyue insisted on marrying Yan Xi, saying frankly that the treatment her uncle received today would be repaid to her twice in the future, and her life in her husband's family would not be easy. This made the Nalan family put off the trap and finally negotiated the marriage politely.
.
Because Nalan Lianyue is the daughter of the clan leader and the number one master of the younger generation, she is very favored.
Yan Qingzheng didn't know about this past incident, so he didn't fully understand it.
"People are born equal, but they all have their own circumstances and status. No matter how good my talent is, it is only my personal matter. I cannot replace anyone else and I have no right to interfere with other people's freedom." Yan Qingzheng has never looked down on anyone, as long as he is
She respects people who are upright, have principles and have bottom lines, such as Rong Che.
On the contrary, those who bully others and have higher ambitions will not gain her respect no matter how many times they are stronger than her, such as Master and Disciple Bo!
Seeing that the topic had gone too far, Mrs. Yan said, "Actually, a few years ago, I thought about living a long life." He looked at his wife and smiled, "But, in the past few years, I have been living leisurely.
I think people should know their destiny and not force anything. Let God decide how long your life span will be!"
Mrs. Yan looked at her husband, the man she had respected and loved all her life, nodded slowly, smiled and said, "I listen to you."
Master Yan was so happy that he had a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!
"Grandpa, grandma, what does this mean..." Yan Qing was a little flustered.
"We, the old couple, are contented to have lived to this age!" Mrs. Yan smiled at her little granddaughter.
"Yes, your grandfather is in the temple, your grandmother has also been awarded the title of first-class lady, your father and uncles are all outstanding, and the family is harmonious. We have even met our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. What else is there to be dissatisfied about!"
The more Mrs. Yan spoke, the more sincere the smile on her face became. If it was out of respect and obedience to her husband at the beginning, now she truly thinks so.
"Yes, Qing'er!" Master Yan continued: "Have you ever thought about it, if we live forever, wouldn't we have to watch our children and grandchildren grow old, sick and die? If you take care of us, you will have to take care of your parents and uncles.
Your brothers and sisters, even your nephews and nephews...a pill cannot make us immortal forever, it just delays the time, which is meaningless..."
"But grandpa..." Yan Qing was anxiously trying to explain, but Mrs. Yan stopped her.
"Good boy, my grandfather has said that he doesn't want to be a drag on you, and he doesn't want you to see human greed in your family!"
Yan Qingzheng didn't understand, she just felt aggrieved. She just wanted to try her best to keep her grandparents healthy and long.
"Qing'er, our Yan family has a small population, but your uncles and aunts have a lot of in-laws. How many people can your elixir supply? In the end, there will definitely be a fight over who should be supplied with a small amount of elixir.
This is something we don’t want to see, and I believe this is also a result you don’t want to see! So don’t set this precedent!”
"Grandma!" Yan Qing ignored the etiquette and stepped forward to hold Old Mrs. Yan's hand, shaking her back and forth in a coquettish manner.
"My dear, everyone has his or her own ambitions!" Grand Master Yan said seriously, "You Xuanmen people pursue immortality and attain Taoism and become immortals, but we just want to live a mortal life, live old, sick and die, and obey God's will!"
Yan Qing froze and tears suddenly fell. Her grandfather said that she no longer regarded herself as a mortal like them. Although this was indeed the case, she still did not want to see them die.
"Qing'er, my grandfather asked you, if you can't ascend, how many years will you live?"
"About five hundred years, five hundred years at most."
"Yes, you can live for such a long time!" Mrs. Yan didn't know whether it was emotion or some other emotion after hearing this. She chuckled and shook her head and said: "You can live for such a long time, so you hope that your family can stay with you for a longer time.
Isn’t this also a kind of selfishness?”
Yan Qingzheng was shocked in his heart and his expression was frozen.
It turns out that wanting your family to live longer is actually to satisfy your own wish. Is it actually another kind of selfishness?
