Xiao Yu was lost in thought when he looked at Chen Xinyu's back, but Chen Xinyu didn't seem to notice Xiao Yu until Xiao Ming discovered our Highness, Prince Yan.
"See His Highness King Yan!" Xiao Ming immediately knelt down.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xinyu quickly turned around, wiped her mouth, and knelt down to salute.
"Okay, okay, don't be so formal, get up." Xiao Yu looked at Chen Xinyu and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." They stood up together two days ago
Chen Xinyu was fascinated, Xiao Ming pushed her, and Chen Xinyu reacted: "Your Majesty, this is a pastry made by my mother. Do you want to sit down and try it?"
Xiao Yu was happy, nodded and sat down.
Picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and started eating it. It tastes just like when I was a kid
"Hey, Miss Chen, please sit down too. It's okay." Xiao Yu said while eating
Chen Xinyu quickly declined: "Your Majesty, I, I'm full. You can eat while I stand, hahaha."
"Okay then" Xiao Yu didn't refuse, took another piece and started eating.
In a blink of an eye, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate was gone.
Chen Xinyu's face was filled with surprise: "The prince's kitchen is still available. If you don't have enough food, I'll call you Xiaoming..."
"No, I'm full." Xiao Yu quickly interrupted Chen Xinyu.
Xiao Yu was also surprised. He usually didn't eat so much. Why did he eat so much?
"Then the prince drinks tea." After Chen Xinyu said this, Xiao Ming gave Xiao Yu a cup of tea.
Xiao Yu picked it up and took a sip. Ah, it felt comfortable and then said: "Miss Chen, there is no need to be polite. Sit down quickly."
Chen Xinyu had no choice but to agree and sit down.
"Tonight's New Year's Eve palace banquet, Mr. Chen invited me to go to the banquet with him. I agreed, so I won't go back to the palace." Xiao Yu said while drinking tea.
Chen Xinyu nodded to express his understanding.
"The prince must have just returned from court and was about to return home for breakfast. He didn't expect to reveal so many things, so he was hungry and ate such sweet-scented osmanthus cake." Chen Xinyu looked determined.
Can we not mention the osmanthus cake?
"Hahaha, Miss Chen is right." Xiao Yu looked embarrassed.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that your eldest and second brothers are both under the command of General Zhao in Qingzhou. The emperor has sent me to start stationing troops after the new year. I will go to Qingzhou. If Miss Chen has any letters to give to your two Brother, I can do this for you." Xiao Yu took another sip of tea.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. But my father said that on the second day of the Lunar New Year, my mother can take me to Qingzhou to see them. I don't need to bring the letters. It's okay to go with the Prince. It's safe on the road. I just don't know if the Prince can do it." Agree?" Chen Xinyu said
Xiao Yu was happy to hear this: "I agree, I agree, but I still have business in the capital and cannot leave on the second day of the Lunar New Year. If Miss Chen wants to come with me, she has to wait until the sixth day of the Lunar New Year."
"Then I'll discuss it with my parents." Chen Xinyu said
Does this still need to be discussed? Then I am not a prince for nothing.
"No need to discuss, I will explain the situation to Mr. Chen. You and Mrs. Ling can just wait and come with me on the sixth day of the lunar month." Xiao Yu said with a smile.
Chen Xinyu also smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"By the way, Your Majesty, I want to accompany my father to the palace banquet tonight. I have to change my clothes. I can't accompany you anymore. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Chen Xinyu said as she stood up.
Xiao Yu smiled: "Don't be so formal. I haven't finished visiting the Chen Mansion yet. Let's take a walk to digest it. Go to hell."
Chen Xinyu also smiled: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave." After that, she led Xiao Ming away.
Xiao Yu looked at Chen Xinyu's back and felt a little hopeful.
"Your Majesty, why are you giggling?" Ye Ran suddenly appeared
Xiao Yu was startled: "You don't take good care of yourself and are running around everywhere."
"I saw that the prince was gone, so I was worried about your safety. I was so young that you ran into Miss Chen's yard." Ye Ran looked aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, this is the Ministry of Civil Service, there is nothing to worry about. I came here just for a casual stroll. You should worry about yourself." Xiao Yu looked at the injured Ye Ran
Ye Yan had a silly smile on her face
At this time, on the streets of Lingjing City, the Five City Military and Horse Divisions were searching for the remaining assassins from house to house, and Dali Temple, Shuntian Mansion, and the Ministry of Punishment also happily opened their offices on New Year's Eve and began their work for the coming year.
At this time in Shuntian Mansion, the three adults became more and more angry as they thought about it. This assassin is so heartless that you can't have a good time during the Chinese New Year. He assassinated the prince after he was full.
At this time, Yang Su, the young minister of Dali Temple, recently reported: "Three gentlemen, it is now basically certain that the assassin is not from Chen. Chen is relatively shorter than Liang Renren, and Chen has a low face and an enlarged nose. None of these assassins have these characteristics, and they are similar in stature to me, Daliang. Of course, it is not ruled out that people from Da Chen hired people from me, Daliang, but there is a deep grudge between our two dynasties, so this possibility is not high."
When the three of them heard this, they all nodded and said yes.
Dali Temple Qing Le, you are worthy of being my right-hand man in Dali Temple.
The young man has a future.
Wang Shu said, "Then we need to find out now which border guard the Xia Shui Arrow originated from, and who sent it to the capital."
Yang Su was a little surprised when he heard this: "The defenders at Yuanguan on the border and the defenders at Jiang'an are both the Emperor's people. Only the defenders at Luoyang are the King of Chu's people?"
"Yang Shaoqing, the matter has not been finalized yet, so don't make any false statements." Wang Shu said hurriedly.
Yang Su quickly shut up, knowing that this matter was not trivial.
The emperor has ordered King Yan to start stationing troops to resist Dachen's offensive in the coming spring? The garrison can be mobilized by King Yan. King Yan was assassinated just after the emperor gave the order. If it was really the King of Chu, was he unwilling to lose military power, or did Luoyang have something hidden?
