Chapter 291 Heavenly Father and Son
After a fierce competition, the battle between the royal family of the Central Plains and the Turks finally won a narrow victory.Just as the monarchs, ministers and common people cheered happily and set off layers of waves, the Yang Xing Dynasty headed by Yang Che raised their cue clubs and bumped into the Turkic men to greet each other.

When Li Sui and the others left the field, Fang stopped his horse, and Nian Nu happily trotted up, and said joyfully: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the princess, the ball just now was really powerful by the princess, it broke our hearts I dare not move."

Hearing this, Li Sui looked back to face Zhao Yi with a smile, and then easily tossed it in his hand, and when Yu Nu took over, he turned over neatly and got off the horse.

"I'm happy today. It's been a long time since I played a ball like today. I'll reward you when I get back."

Hearing Li Suicai's bold tone and seeing her full of interest, Zhao Yi smiled and threw the club in his hand to Zong Ming, but there was a little bit of unconscious doting in his eyes.

"Accompanies the princess to play this good game today, but is there any reward for me?"

Hearing Zhao Yi's interjection behind him, and turning around to see Zhao Yi's smiling eyes, Li Sui stopped and said, "Okay, anyway, today's reward is yours."

Hearing Li Sui's stupid words, Zong Ming and Yu Nu couldn't help but lower their heads and smile. Li Sui also returned to the empress's golden tent in a good mood. After speaking a few words with Empress Li, he saw the returning Baoying .

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Queen."

Seeing Baoying in front of him, Yang Chongyuan nodded, and then he heard Empress Li beside him ask with concern: "How is Concubine Xian?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, Concubine Xian has taken the medicine and rested, and her spirit has improved a lot. The imperial doctor has seen that there is nothing serious."

Hearing this, Empress Li breathed a sigh of relief just now, and said in an easy-going and thankful way: "That's good."

"You worked hard today too."

Yang Chongyuan looked at Baoying below, with rare kindness in his eyes, and then said to Liu Shoucheng who was beside him: "A few days ago, Goguryeo paid tribute to celadon and ginseng. I will pick the best ones and send them to the East Palace."

"This is a tribute from Goryeo to His Majesty and Your Highness, my son—"

Seeing that Baoying seemed to be rejecting it intentionally, before Yang Chongyuan could speak, Empress Li smiled and comforted her and said: "Since His Majesty bestowed it on you, you young couple can accept it."

It's not easy for Baoying to say anything, so she accepts it obediently.

"The sons just won glory for Aye and Auntie. Are there rewards from the sons?"

At this moment, Yang Che's pretentious words rang in the tent, and Yang Chongyuan also laughed and said: "Yes, when did I miss your reward—"

In this harmony, Li Sui quietly retreated to Baoying's side and said, "Did you go to the concubine Xian just now?"

Hearing Baoying tell about Concubine Cai Xian's sudden arrival at the stadium just now, Li Sui nodded, but found that Baoying beside him seemed a little out of his mind.

"Why do you look so pale?"

Hearing Li Sui's question, Baoying suppressed her nervous and messy thoughts, smiled and said reluctantly: "It's just a whole morning, I'm a little tired, it's okay."

Upon hearing the sound, Li Sui glanced at Baoying, who was indeed a little tired, and didn't ask any more questions, but only told him, "Go back later so you can rest."

Hearing Li Sui's words, Baoying nodded with a smile, but her heart felt as if she was being crushed tightly by one stone after another, and her black hair was so tightly stitched that she couldn't breathe.

She knew very well that what Shangguan Ling said was astonishing, and one more person who knew it would only cause one more person to be troubled and more dangerous.

Ah Man has helped her too much in the past, and she doesn't want Ah Man to worry about herself anymore, or even fall into another whirlpool.

Just like this, Baoying spent the whole day in a daze, and by the end of today's killing feast, it was already dusk.

When Baoying returned to the East Palace wearily, and saw the empty hall, she realized that Yang Yanyi hadn't come back yet.

"His Highness hasn't returned yet?"

Hearing Baoying's question, Gong'e already said: "Go back to the princess, not yet, but Xigu and the others came back at noon."

Xi Gu has always been Yang Yan's close friend, hearing these words now, Baoying was a little surprised and immediately sent someone to Xi Gu for questioning.

"Back to the Crown Princess, today I will send you to the Liyuan. Your Highness told me to go back to the palace first. I went to the stadium alone. The Crown Princess has never met me?"

Seeing the valley with a blank and surprised face, for some reason, Baoying's heart sank, and the uneasiness inside became deeper and heavier.

"Go, go and search for it secretly, and see where His Highness has gone?"

Almost blurting out, Baoying worriedly ordered her confidants to disperse quietly to look for Yang Yan, while she was also worried, sitting alone in the hall and waiting bitterly.

The sunset glow in the sky is like smoke and yarn, which outlines a gentle appearance in the blue twilight.

Faintly, the palace people on duty outside the Zichen Palace saw a figure slowly entering through the palace gate alone, as if alone in the world, independent in the gradually deepening night.

When they reached the corridor, everyone finally saw clearly that it was Yang Yan, who was wearing a plain blue and precious pattern blouse, one by one immediately stepped forward and saluted.

"His Royal Highness."

Hearing this respectful voice, Yang Yan, whose steps were heavy, his thoughts were confused, and his mind was blank, finally stopped. When he looked up and saw the majestic and daunting three gold-plated characters of "Zichen Palace", he nodded silently. Nodding his head, it took a long time for a word to escape from his throat.

"Your Majesty, you are here."

Sensing Yang Yan's strangeness, none of the crowd dared to raise their heads or ask more questions. Just when they were about to reply, Liu Shoucheng who heard the voice had already come out of the hall, rushing to greet Yang Yan respectfully. After a salute, he said: "His Royal Highness, Your Majesty sent servants to invite you in."

Hearing Liu Shoucheng's words, Yang Yan nodded silently, and walked in slowly the next moment accompanied by him.

When he walked outside the study, Yang Yan walked around the screen, and saw under the bright light, his father Yang Chongyuan was sitting behind the desk, flipping through stacks of memorials of courtiers on the desk.

Hearing Yang Yan enter, Yang Chongyuan didn't raise his head, nor did he raise his eyes, his eyes still fell on the memorial in his hand seriously and solemnly, but in the silence he heard him say: "This will come, but do you have something important to report? "

"son--"

Sensing the hoarseness and hesitation in Yang Yan's throat, the cautious Yang Chongyuan's eyes moved slightly, and finally raised his head inadvertently, but saw Yang Yan who looked a little depressed in front of him.

"Aye is busy with government affairs, so my son doesn't bother—"

"It's okay."

Before Yang Yan cupped his hands to finish speaking, Yang Chongyuan said calmly: "A gentleman is in charge of everything in the world, so there is no day when he can finish his work."

"Aye has been working day and night, and it's all my son's fault to be so busy."

Seeing the humble and respectful Yang Yan in front of him, I don't know whether it's the tranquility of mind or the tranquility of the night. Yang Chongyuan's face was rarely calm, but he pointed in front of him like a loving father in the world: "Come and sit, you and my father and son may not have seen each other for a long time. Speak."

Seeing this, Liu Shoucheng naturally handed over the soft seat to the case with great eyesight, and waited for Yang Yan to salute again, and knelt down in front of him under Yang Chongyuan's gaze. , Confidentially.

"Although I don't ask too many questions these days as a father, I still see everything in my eyes—"

In the silence, Yang Chongyuan took the lead to break the silence, looked at Yang Yan, who was both the eldest son and the eldest son, and said, "You have done a good job, and let the world see the demeanor I should have as the prince of Daxing."

Hearing Yang Chongyuan's praise, Yang Yan raised his head almost in shock. When the father and son looked at each other, he saw the kindness and satisfaction in his father's eyes that had never been seen before.

It actually made Yang Yan startled, as if in a dream.

Since childhood, the father in front of him has never pretended to him, and he has never even seen his father smile at him.

But at this moment, the father who is already the emperor praised him.

In the silence, Yang Yan lowered his head, clenched his hands tightly, and said stagnantly in his throat: "As the crown prince, my son is sincere and fearful, so I can only work hard to share Aye's worries, enrich the people, and repay Aye's kindness." .”

"Ah."

Looking at Yang Yan, who was still modest and introspective despite being the crown prince, Yang Chongyuan nodded in satisfaction, and finally opened the topic: "Why did Erlang come to look for me today?"

Hearing this, Yang Yan couldn't help but his back stiffened, and realized that he hadn't spoken for a long time. Yang Chongyuan stared at him silently. Although he didn't ask, he seemed to have realized something, so he looked at Liu Shoucheng who was standing beside him and said, "You step back first. .”

After Liu Shoucheng saluted respectfully, he withdrew slowly and stood guard outside the door.

The silence in the study was like a deep sea, swallowing Yang Yan's unstable heart bit by bit.

"I remember that in the past, Aye used to tell his sons about the anthology of classics and history. My son read "Zizhi Tongjian" yesterday. When he saw Emperor Wu of Song Dynasty pacify the world, he couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional, and wanted to ask Aye for advice—"

"Oh?"

Hearing Yang Yan's words, Yang Chongyuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and facing Yang Yan who was speaking vaguely in front of him, there was a little more interest on his lips.

"My son is sensitive and eager to learn, his words are brilliant, and he is outstanding. All the courtiers and scholars in the court are full of praise. Today, it is rare to discuss the history of the previous dynasty with my father. It is very good——"

Speaking of this, Yang Chongyuan's eyes were hard to detect, and he said with a smile on his lips: "Then tell me, what about Emperor Wu of Song?"
