Yang Yan came to the door of King Xin's mansion and reported his name. When the doorman guarding the door heard that Yang Yan was coming, he didn't dare to slack off, and while sending someone to deliver a letter inside, he invited Yang Yan to sit in the gatehouse.

Yang Yan sat in the porter for a while, and suddenly a young man came in at the door, wearing a golden crown and a yellow robe, looking Yang Yan up and down. Yang Yan was also inexplicable, seeing that the young man was only fourteen or fifteen years old, he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, which was very likable.

The young man said, "Are you Yang Yan and Yang Zihao?"

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I'm it, who are you?" I wondered who this kid was? Could it be Zhao Qianru's younger brother?

The young man looked at Yang Yan left and right again, frowned, and said, "It's not like, it's not like!" ”

Yang Yan was also confused by the second monk, and said, "Not like? What's not like it?"

The young man said: "I just heard that the people outside have lifted Yang Yan to the sky." It is said that Yang Yan is six feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a majestic appearance, but he doesn't look like you at all. ”

Yang Yan scratched his head and said, "Is this person you are talking about me?" I haven't looked in the mirror for a long time, has it changed? When the boy heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter.

At this time, Zhao Qianru's pleasant voice came in from outside the door: "Xiao Chen, are you naughty inside again!" Don't come out yet. ”

This young man is Zhao Qianru's younger brother, Zhao Chen, the king of letters, and Yang Yan's name has been circulating everywhere these days, which makes him very curious. Of course, he knew that Yang Yan was his sister's husband and wife, so as soon as he heard the doorman report that Yang Yan was coming, he immediately ran out to see what Yang Yan looked like. Hearing Zhao Qianru call him, he squeezed his eyes at Yang Yan, made a grimace and said, "My sister is waiting for you early in the morning, come with me." ”

Yang Yan shook his head and followed Zhao Chen out. Sure enough, I saw Zhao Qianru standing outside the right door with a smile. Because this was in the Xinwang Mansion, Yang Yan also had to make a show, and hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Yang Yan has seen the princess." ”

Zhao Qianru stretched out her hand and said, "No need to be polite, mother is waiting for you in the back, come with me." ”

Zhao Chen tilted his head on the side and said, "Is his mother waiting for him?" I don't know which person has been guarding the house since the morning. ”

Zhao Qianru immediately flushed her face and said coquettishly: "Xiao Chen, what are you talking nonsense?" As he spoke, he was going to arrest him. Zhao Chen turned his head and ran, turning around and grimacing as he ran.

Zhao Qianru said to Yang Yan at this time: "This is my younger brother Zhao Chen, who is also studying in the Shangwu Academy now, and he is still very naughty, so come with me!"

Because it was in the palace, Yang Yan didn't dare to walk side by side with her, and fell behind her a little. This place is not small, pavilions and pavilions, scattered and scattered, carved beams and painted buildings, golden walls are brilliant. However, after passing through the outer courtyard, Yang Yan found that the buildings inside were all ordinary blue bricks and gray tiles, which were not much different from ordinary houses.

Zhao Qianru explained to him: "Mother said that you are not an outsider, so I won't see you in the main hall and bring you to the back hall." ”

Yang Yan followed her through the two-story house, came to a large courtyard, and walked into a large house. The house is very large, but the furniture and other things are very ordinary, that is, similar to the average wealthy house. In the middle of the Taishi chair sat a middle-aged woman, about forty years old, with a kind face and a dignified demeanor. There were two waiting girls standing on the left and right, and Zhao Chen was standing behind her, still frowning at them.

Zhao Qianru said: "This is my mother. ”

Yang Yan hurriedly knelt down and bowed with the great salute of the juniors: "Yang Yan has seen the princess's wife. And Zhao Qianru lightly blessed her by the princess's side, which can be regarded as a return of gifts on behalf of the princess.

The princess smiled slightly: "You are Yang Yan and Yang Zihao, hurry up, don't thank you so much in the future." ”

Yang Yan said: "Thank you, Mrs. Princess." Then he stood up.

The princess said: "In the future, you don't need to call me Mrs. Princess, I'll make a big say, just call me aunt." Sit down and talk!"

Yang Yan thanked and sat down on the chair on the side. However, the eyes look at the nose, the nose asks, and the mouth sees the heart. I'm afraid that when I went to see Zhao Tuan, I didn't have such a rule.

When Mrs. Princess saw Yang Yan's appearance, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Zihao, don't be so restrained. Glanced back at Zhao Qianru, "You just treat this place as if it were your own home." At this time, Zhao Chen also glanced at Zhao Qianru, pursed his lips and laughed. Zhao Qianru's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her head.

However, the attitude of the princess's wife was very kind, and Yang Yan's nervous heart also relaxed a lot.

The princess and wife then asked some things like ordinary life, and Yang Yan answered them one by one, and her expression finally became much more natural. It was also noon, and the princess's wife had dinner with her family. After a while, bowls, cups, chopsticks and other things were put on the table. Yang Yan could see that they were all ordinary furniture. He felt strange in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask after all. After a while, the food and wine were all on the table. The princess's wife beckoned Yang Yan to sit down, Zhao Qianru and Zhao Chen also sat down, and the four of them each occupied one side.

Mrs. Princess said: "Zihao, don't you think it's a little strange, our palace is similar to ordinary people's homes." ”

This is exactly what Yang Yan was thinking in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Mrs. Princess smiled slightly: "Qianru and Xiao Chen's father actually don't have a deep blood relationship with today's official family, but they are both descendants of Emperor Taizu. You must know that. ”

Yang Yan nodded again, he had heard Zhao Qianru talk about this.

Mrs. Princess said: "Qianru and Xiao Chen's father is loved by today's official family, recognized as the royal brother, and was crowned the king. In fact, before that, we were just ordinary people from a well-off family. Therefore, I dare not forget my original origin for a moment. Therefore, he was cautious in everything and did not dare to pretend to be a prince. He sighed softly and said, "The waiting door is as deep as the sea, and sometimes it is not as safe and happy as ordinary people's homes." ”

Yang Yan's heart moved, savoring the words of the princess's wife.

Mrs. Princess said again: "Qianru and Xiao Chen's father have only been princes for three years, in fact, they have only been like princes to the outside world in the past three years, and they still try to live the same life as ordinary people in private. After he went, I also obeyed his wishes, and taught them both with the habits of ordinary people. When you come today, I won't treat you as an outsider, so I will set up a banquet in this back hall, just some coarse tea and light meals, don't be surprised. ”

Only then did Yang Yan figure out why Zhao Qianru didn't have too many princesses, and some of her thoughts and behaviors were very close to ordinary people. In fact, her life experience is very similar to herself.

At this time, the princess said: "Patronizing and talking, come to dinner!"
