"Hasn't the official set a wedding date for next year?"

Mu Hongluan said,

"The second prince is not young, but now he has no progress. His father-in-law is also worried, so he wants to let him leave the palace as soon as possible and open his own house. He thinks that he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, so he will understand the responsibility of a man. The second prince is the only parent-child today. If he can be self-reliant, it will be a great blessing for the country, the people and the family. I think the queen must think so too!"

Humph! With the capriciousness of the official family and the domineering behavior of Queen Xia, things will change next year, so it will be better if you come out sooner!

When Xia Hou heard this, her face turned gloomy like water and said coldly,

"According to the wife's words, Duke Pu Guo means..."

Mu Hongluan smiled,

"I think the queen has understood it. As long as the second prince leaves the palace and opens the mansion, the money will come naturally!"

Having said this, the picture was revealed, and I don’t need to say what the meaning behind me is. Xia Hou still felt a little unwilling to give up when he closed his eyebrows.

"Can't we discuss this matter any more?"

Mu Hongluan smiled,

"If the queen feels that the second prince cannot leave the palace and opens the palace, it is better to make him the crown prince and invite the famous scholars to give me some careful guidance..."

Empress Xia interrupted after hearing this,

"Forget it! I'll think about this again!"

Mu Hongluan smiled and left the palace, returned home and told Yan Qisheng,

"I have already brought the words, I just see how she deals with them now!"

Yan Qisheng sneered,

"She must nod her head in agreement for this matter!"

If she didn't agree, it would be possible. When Yan Zhan came back, Yan Zhan's temperament would be unable to retreat, and even the responsibility for the border war was over her queen. He didn't know whether there was any glory ahead, but the life of the Xia clan members in the court would be difficult!

Mu Hongluan didn't care about the queen's situation, but only thought about the safety of the people on the border southward.

"Are the Liao soldiers really going south if they break through the real decree?"

Yan Qisheng smiled and reached out to pinch her nose.

"Don't worry, there are war reports on the front line every day. This year, the internal strife of the Liao soldiers has been greatly reduced. Even Yelu is determined to go south and is unable to break through Zhending. We are just taking advantage of this excuse to find some benefits!"

Mu Hongluan felt at ease after hearing this.

Empress Xia thought about it for a long time, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth to respond to this matter, and wrote a secret message to Yan Zhan. Yan Zhan had never been able to do anything about Yan Shoujing, and she thought that there was no such son. Empress Xia was the decision of everything. Now, when Cheng Xu was convinced, she sneered,

"Yan Yunqing is more concerned about that evil man than me!"

Cheng Xu lowered his head and said softly,

"Yinu saw that this was a good thing. First, the second prince could get married and open a mansion and grow up. This is a joyful congratulation. Second, the Liao army could be solved, and it is also a good thing for the country and the court. Now the eyes of the officials at the left and right are getting better. If you go back to Lin'an after two months, you can regain the court's leadership!"

After avoiding the confrontation between officials, I will do the matter again. What’s wrong?

Yan Zhan also sneered clearly in his heart,

"Forget it! Let her do this at home!"

However, Cheng Xu wrote an imperial edict on his behalf, and advanced the marriage of the second prince, and asked Empress Xia to choose a mansion in Lin'an City to give it to Yan Shoujing.

Not to mention how happy Yan Shoujing received the order, how did Xia Hou summon Mu Hongluan into the palace to speak, but only said that Yan Zhan had resolved the situation of Liao soldiers' obsession, and his eye disease improved greatly. He also felt relaxed and said to Cheng Xu.

"I've been annoyed to stay here these days. Why not go out for a walk!"

Cheng Xu answered,

"The official family is in a good health, and it is very beneficial to go out and walk around. I heard that there is an ambergris waterfall on the top of Panlong Mountain, which is still a cliff waterfall. Yin Lianwukong is very beautiful... Why don't the official family go and take a look?"

Yan Zhan's eyes were blind in front of him and could not recognize objects. He stayed here for nearly two months. An imperial doctor could see things carefully. Although he could not thread a needle, it was not a problem to look at the flowing springs and waterfalls, and the stone paths of the small bridge were not a problem.

Some imperial doctors also said that they would go out more often, and it would be beneficial to look at the green mountains and green waters and eye diseases in the distance. Yan Zhan nodded happily.

Because Panlong Mountain is the royal garden, and there are guards at the foot of the mountain, Yan Zhan only took Cheng Xu, dressed in casual clothes, and then went out as a scholar.

This is supported by Cheng Xu and walked slowly along the mountain path. There was a bird singing in his ear. He saw the undulating mountains in front of him, with the spring breeze blowing on his face and the warm sun slanting, which made people feel much better for no reason.

Yan Zhan sighed while walking,

"I hope one day I can take off this mundane chore and go to this mountain to be a woodcutter!"

Cheng Xu knew that he was a good person and pretending to be free and easy without any trouble. If he really wanted to be a woodcutter, it would be not easy, so he would abdicate the throne to the second prince. Why did he get angry because all officials asked to be crowned prince?

To put it bluntly, I still can't let it go!

This thought can't be said, and I just smiled and replied,

"The official family wants to go into the mountain to be a woodcutter, so the servants will follow the official family to carry firewood. The official family cuts the servants in the front and takes them to the back and takes them outside to exchange for some wine!"

Yan Zhan laughed loudly when he heard this.

"Okay, okay! Why don't we go to the forest now and find a place to build a thatched hut to live in!"

He immediately threw Cheng Xu's hand, but the man walked forward quickly.

Cheng Xu was two steps behind, but pretended to shout loudly,

"Slow down the official family, I can't catch up with you!"

Yan Zhan laughed and kept his feet. The master and servant walked in front and behind for nearly half an hour. Yan Zhan then stopped gasping, sat on the big bluestone aside, shook his head and sighed,

"Forget it! He's so old, it wouldn't be a problem if he had it for one or two hours before!"

Cheng Xu panted and lay on the head of the big bluestone. While reaching out his hand and taking out a leather bag from his waist to present it to him, he responded,

"The official family is healthy! I almost didn't keep up!"

Yan Zhan proudly took the skin, tilted his neck and drank a few times, and threw it back to Cheng Xu.

"There is only reward for you!"

Cheng Xu hurriedly accepted the thank you, but he didn't dare to drink it and stuffed it carefully, so he hung it back on his waist.

The two of them walked again, and sure enough, Yan Zhan reached out to ask for water to drink. Soon after, the water in his skin had been completely drunk. Cheng Xu listened to the sermon.

"Official family, I heard that there seemed to be a sound of water in front of me, so why not put some water in front of me!"

Yan Zhan nodded,

"good!"

The two of them followed along the way, and they surely saw a mountain spring in front. The mountain spring flowed down from above and flowed into the stone pond on the side of the road. It was clear and flawless. Cheng Xu first helped Yan Zhan to sit on the side of the road, turned around to collect the water.

Begging down, I heard a gentle voice saying,

"Don't take it... that water can't be drunk!"

Cheng Xu hurriedly withdrew his hand and stood up to look at the place where he was making a sound. He saw a beautiful man in plain clothes slowly walking towards the other end of the path. The woman tied her hair and dressed in a woman. She was thin and had a strap around her waist. She showed a bit of a fluttering fairy sleeve.

The woman came over and bowed to Cheng Xu, saying,

"This spring looks very clear, but because poisonous weeds grow on it, the water flows down and brings toxins at the roots, which people can't eat!"

Cheng Xu hurriedly saluted the woman when he heard this.

"Thank you, this little lady for giving me some advice!"

The woman replied,

"Sir, don't be polite. The little woman is practicing in Miaoyun Temple in Xiatou. She occasionally wants to travel in this mountain. She also listened to the master in the temple!"

Cheng Xu understood at the hearing that Miaoyun Temple was a royal temple at the foot of Panlong Mountain. Most of the people who practiced in it were women in the royal family. However, most of the women who could get here violated the rules of family and were secretly driven here. There were people guarding them on the mountain and down the mountain, but they were not afraid of them getting lost. These women sometimes also had to walk in the mountains, but it was rare to be so young in front of them.

At this moment, I couldn't ask clearly, but I thanked him again. The woman turned back to him and bowed to Yan Zhan, who was sitting beside him.

"If the two gentlemen want to drink water, walk a hundred steps forward and there is a mountain spring to drink at will!"

He pointed out the two of them where the spring water was and left.

Cheng Xu turned around, but saw Yan Zhan still staring at the direction of the woman leaving.

"Official family?"

Yan Zhan turned around and asked him,

"How was that woman born?"

Cheng Xu thought about it and responded,

"It's beautiful..."

Yan Zhan nodded and looked a little intoxicated.

"I should be a beauty when I hear her voice!"

Cheng Xu followed Yan Zhan when he was hidden in the residence. Why didn't he know what his expression was meant? He responded quickly,

"The official family, that woman practiced in Miaoyun Temple at the foot of the mountain..."

Yan Zhan raised his eyebrows,

"Miaoyun'an...is he a sister-in-law?"
