After five days of hard work, the sage finally arrived at the Jingshan Palace before sunset.

Emperor Xuande was driving in advance, Xie Lanyin and Xiao Yuan were waiting behind the prince's ceremonial guard. Xie Lanyin was looking out through the crack of the curtain when suddenly he heard someone rushing over. She couldn't help but sit upright, and looked next to her, Xiao Yuan was still leaning lazily on the couch, and his phoenix eyes turned with her, as if he could never see enough.

Xie Lanyin smiled and went to cover his eyes. There was no entertainment in the carriage, so he could only make trouble and pass the time.

Xiao Yuan grabbed her hand and was about to kiss her when a sharp voice from the eunuch came from outside, "Your Highness, the emperor will hold a banquet at Liuxia Hall tonight, please invite your highness to the same seat."

Xiao Yuan nodded, a low voice that was so lazy that he was a little disrespectful, as if he was just giving Emperor Xuande a face.

The eunuch who was passing the message was stunned, wondering why the King of Qin inside was not excited by this rare honor. Fortunately, the movement of the carriages and horses in the distance reminded him. After glanced at the curtains, he did not continue to think about it and went to the carriage behind King Heng's carriage.

In the carriage, Xie Lanyin saw Xiao Yuan looking at the car window, her eyes vaguely as the drizzle of spring, and the emotions in his eyes were hazy. She thoughtfully did not disturb him, and still maintained the posture of being held by him.

The carriage gradually moved again.

Xiao Yuan finally withdrew his gaze and pinched her hand and said, "The first two years I remember, he would call me for banquets in the palace, but I never smiled at him, nor called me for the queen. Later, except for the palace banquet where I had to show up during festivals, he never called me again. This time, the sun really came out of the west."

The out-of-favored son finally got his father's invitation and should be happy, but Xie Lanyin didn't see it on his face and didn't even mock him.

She felt very distressed and leaned into his arms and said, "When we have children, we will ask him to have dinner with us every day."

Xiao Yuan patted her back, trying to imagine a situation with her children and grandchildren, and his eyes softened.

Two quarters of an hour later, the couple moved into their villa.

It was dark immediately. Xie Lanyin took out a dark embroidered python robe for him to put it on, and told him worriedly, "Drink less and don't come back drunk."

"What are you going to eat tonight?" Xiao Yuan looked down at her and answered the question that was irrelevant.

Xie Lanyin thought for a while and said softly: "I've asked the kitchen to make noodles. I've been tired for a few days. I'll have a simple meal tonight and go to bed early after I finish eating."

"Well, don't wait for me." Xiao Yuan kissed her forehead.

After putting on his clothes, Xie Lanyin kept sending him out of the villa. As he watched him lead Ge Jin further and further away, his tall figure gradually blurred by the soft sunset, and became smaller little by little, turning into a seven or eight-year-old prince. He went to the banquet with an expressionless face to see the father who had harmed his grandfather's family and his biological mother and laughed with another woman. He saw that his nominal father was generous in pampering the other two children.

Xie Lanyin suddenly lost her appetite. She brought her supper, barely moved her chopsticks a few times, and then took a shower and took a rest.

While she was sleeping lightly in her fatigue, the dinner in Liuxia Palace had just begun.

Emperor Xuande sat in the main seat, with three princes on the left and several ministers accompanying him on the right.

Emperor Xuande had just sat down and said a few polite words to everyone. He looked at his sons, swept over the prince Xiao Yuan and Xiao Yi one by one, and finally fell on Xiao Yuan. "Yuan Qi has always been weak, are you feeling uncomfortable when you rush to the road this time?"

The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at His Highness the King of Qin over there. All of them were the heroes in front of Emperor Xuande, and they knew very well about Emperor Xuande's temper. The King of Qin was weak since childhood, but before today, he had never heard Emperor Xuande show concern in front of others.

As the person who was cared for, Xiao Yuan's expression remained unchanged and stood up and said, "Thank you for your father's care, your son will be fine."

Emperor Xuande nodded and signaled to him to sit down. He touched his beard and sighed: "Gaozu gained the world by archery and horses, and also warned his descendants to be both civil and military, and not to abandon anything. This spring hunting, I should take a good look at your abilities. Yuan Qi, you are weak, are you willing to participate in the competition? If your body cannot bear it, watch them compete with me."

A kind tone, with a lot of quotient.

The prince secretly clenched his hands and looked at the ministers opposite him, feeling a little unsure. After the ban was lifted, the father not only began to neglect his mother, but also became much worse than before. Today, he favored Xiao Yuan. Could it be that he really disliked them because of the fight for Xu Yunrou?

Xiao Yi's face was not very good-looking. Among the three brothers, the prince had the highest status, but his youngest son had always been the most partial to his father. Now that the meeting has been held for so long, the father is only concerned with talking to Xiao Yuan. Could it be that the father would start to partial to Xiao Yuan?

Once he encountered doubts related to the court, Xiao Yi would seek his brother's advice. This time he was no exception and looked at the prince habitually. The prince glanced at a little movement in his eyes and habitually understood the younger brother's meaning. He looked at Xiao Yi and signaled to leave the table before talking.

At this time, neither of them forgot Xu Yunrou.

Emperor Xuande sat high and saw the eye contact between his two sons clearly. Naturally, he retracted his gaze extremely, picked up the wine glass, and covered the smile at the corner of his mouth.

If you want the two brothers to let go of their past grudges and unite, the best way is to give them several common targets.

After tasting a sip of wine, he asked his eldest son again, "What did Yuan Qi say?"

Xiao Yuan said indifferently: "If my son knows himself, he will not end up in the competition. I am willing to accompany my father to watch the battle."

Emperor Xuande nodded, his smile remained unabated, and he soon gave him two more dishes.

The imperial delicacies were placed on it, and Xiao Yuan picked up the chopsticks, his eyes calmed like water.

When the ceremonies were separated, it was already dark outside, and Xiao Yuan and the prince walked out of Liuxia Palace together.

"Congratulations to my elder brother. Seeing that my father was very caring for me at the table, my elder brother's good days are coming soon. Maybe I will beg my elder father again in a while, and my elder brother may allow you to marry a new princess." Xiao Yi walked behind Xiao Yuan and said sarcastically.

Xiao Yuan smiled for the first time because of his words, turned around and looked at him with a sympathetic look, "I can't help but marry the princess and then robbed him by my third brother. I'd better not marry him."

After saying that, he stopped observing Xiao Yi's sudden change of face and left.

Xiao Yi looked at his back and his chest was undulating violently.

The prince patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be fooled by third brother. He obviously wants to provoke us. Now that the father has turned his head towards him, you and I will kill each other for the past, and it will only make him vacant."

"I know." Xiao Yi replied stiffly for a long time and glanced at the prince's apricot yellow robe beside him. He wanted to discuss countermeasures with his brother, but suddenly lost interest. Xiao Yi moved away the hand that the prince put on his shoulder and walked in the other direction.

Xie Lanyin didn't sleep heavily when she had something to do.

So someone pushed the door outside and she woke up immediately.

"It's me." Hearing her get up, Xiao Yuan said in time, without lighting the light, he walked to the bed in the dark. The room was dark and he could barely see the figure. He held her hand and said with some guilt: "Have you woken up by me?"
