Dafeng Night Watchman

Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Asking for Remuneration

Suddenly, Xu Qian'an seemed to have returned to the scene when she first met Lin'an. She was like this at that time, like a noble canary, beautiful and proud.

This was her usual attitude when meeting outsiders. Later, she began to chirp, showing her innocent and lively side. She was obviously a weak fighter, but she was like a fighting hen.

It was like a princess taking off her heavy armor, letting you see the little girl inside.

Lin'an is still Lin'an, it has never changed, but I am favored...Xu Qiyan imitated Xu Erlang's voice, bowed, and said:

"I am here to visit Your Highness on behalf of my brother."

Lin'an maintained a cold and reserved attitude, her amorous peach blossom eyes dimmed, and her voice became soft unconsciously: "He, won't he come by himself?"

Xu Qiyan shook his head: "Your Highness, what are you saying? How dare my brother come to see you? As soon as he entered the palace or the imperial city, Your Majesty could turn around and chop him off."

Even if he didn't come to see me, why didn't he even want to reply to my letter...Lin'an nodded gently and said softly: "How is your brother these days?"

When she said this, her eyes were focused and her expression was serious. It was not a polite greeting, but she really cared about Xu Qiyan's recent situation.

Lin'an is an emotional girl. If you tease her, she will giggle. If you tease her, she will scratch you with her teeth and claws. Unlike Huaiqing, who has a high IQ and is cold and aloof.

If you tease her, you will only embarrass yourself.

Therefore, Xu Qiyan couldn't help but want to bully her, teasing her: "Brother, you've been doing well recently. In addition to practicing every day, you've been playing around. You just went to Jianzhou a while ago."

"That's good, that's good..."

Lin'an nodded reservedly, pursed her lips, like an unwilling little girl, and asked tentatively: "He, has he mentioned the recent court dispute these days? Well, are you worried about it?"

She also wanted to ask if she had asked Wei Yuan for help?

But considering that Xu Erlang was on duty in the Hanlin Academy on weekdays, he might not know these things.

However, if Xu Qiyan really took her request to heart, he would definitely inquire from many sources and think of strategies, and Xu Erlang, who was an official in the court, would definitely be one of the people to be asked.

Seeing her expectant look, Xu Qian'an shook his head: "Brother is no longer Yinluo. He said he was too lazy to care about the affairs of the court. Why did Your Highness suddenly ask?"

"I, I was just asking casually."

Lin'an forced a smile. She felt the man's perfunctory attitude, his alienation and indifference, and her heart suddenly became very sad and depressed.

She remembered Xu Qian'an said that he would be her slave for the rest of his life. Although those words were joking, the importance he showed to her was not discounted in Lin'an's eyes at the time.

It is a happy and happy thing for a man you like to put you in an important position in his heart.

But suddenly, you find that what the man said and did before may be perfunctory and deceptive. He doesn't take you seriously at all now.

Lin'an's nose was sour and tears almost rolled down. He felt a pain in his heart and said with all his strength: "I am tired. If Lord Xu has nothing else to do..."

Before he finished speaking, the maid came in with small steps and said in a crisp voice: "The prince is here."

Lin'an lowered his head in a panic, collected his emotions, and when he looked up again, he smiled without sadness and said hurriedly: "Please invite the prince brother in."

Why is the prince here? Don't drive me away, then I'm done for. Biao Biao hates me to death...Xu Qi'an wanted to curse.

The prince strode in with brocade clothes. The first person he noticed was not Lin'an, but Xu Qi'an. This is like a beautiful woman always notices the same sex who is more beautiful than herself.

The prince also feels this way now.

Although he is the crown prince, he has a noble status, excellent bloodline and excellent appearance, but compared with this Shujishi, he is a bit indistinguishable.

Especially today, he was wearing a sky-blue dress, and his nobleness and arrogance were no less than mine, and his spirit and energy were much better than mine.

"Lord Xu is here too."

The prince smiled and turned around to put aside his little unhappiness. He was just a little surprised that he didn't remember any intersection between his sister and Xu Xinnian.

It just so happened that he was Xu Qiyan's cousin. I would first win him over to the camp. By then, would Xu Qiyan still not buy my account?

The prince immediately sat down and started a conversation with Xu Xinnian eagerly.

After chatting, the prince inadvertently brought the topic to the court affairs and said with a smile:

"I was wrong, I was wrong. I thought that Wang's party would be seriously injured this time, but I didn't expect that there would be a reversal afterwards. Yuan Xiong was demoted to the right inspector and censor, and Qin Yuandao, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was sick in bed......"

He started, then looked at Xu Qiyan, expecting him to continue the topic.

It is a common problem for young officials to like to point out the country and comment on the affairs of the court. Especially the newly-minted Jinshi.

Xu Qian'an smiled indifferently and said casually: "The disputes in the court are treacherous and any reversal is possible."

Lin'an listened boredly. She just wanted to be alone now, but this is Shaoyin Palace. As the host, she had to accompany the guests. It was very rude to leave the scene and abandon the "guests".

It seems that he is still wary... The prince's eyes flashed, and he stopped playing tricks and said straight to the point:

"I heard that the reason why the royal party was able to gather all the ministers and pass the test smoothly was all thanks to Lord Xu."

Bian Bian turned his head sharply and stared at Xu Qian'an.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really an ace supporting actor... Xu Qian'an glanced at Lin'an and responded calmly: "It's not my credit, it's my elder brother's credit."

Sure enough, Lin'an heard his words and his breathing suddenly quickened: "Master Xu, what did you say? What do you mean it's all your elder brother's credit? Xu, Xu Ningyan also participated in the court struggle a while ago?"

The Crown Prince took over the topic and said:

"Lin'an, you don't know yet, it is said that Duke Cao left some secret letters before his death, which recorded his crimes of corruption and abuse of power, embezzlement of tributes, etc., which people conspired with him, and who participated in it, written clearly and clearly.

"I don't know where Xu Qian'an got these evidences of crimes. It was because of these evidences of crimes that the Wang Party was able to survive this crisis. These are all confidential information for my brother, Lin'an, don't spread them. "

Lin'an leaned forward slightly, staring at Xu Qian'an without blinking, and said hurriedly:

"Dog... Why did Xu Ningyan help Wang's party?"

She could feel her heart pounding wildly, as if she was looking forward to something, but was afraid to see the result. She was both nervous and expectant.

Ha, Lin'an's heartbeat was so fast? If I said: Big Brother wanted to form an alliance with Prime Minister Wang, would she cry on the spot?

Xu Qian'an smiled and said, "Big Brother said that because His Highness Lin'an sent someone to pass on the message, he would do his best to complete what His Highness Lin'an wanted to do, even if he was no longer a silver gong and his ability was limited."

For me, for me... Lin'an muttered to himself.

She was like a passerby lost in the wilderness. When she saw the lights, her heart suddenly settled, her eyes curved, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

That kind of joy from the heart could not be hidden.

The prince glanced at his sister, who was suddenly as beautiful as a flower, and without changing his expression, he turned to invite: "Tomorrow my palace will hold a banquet outside the palace. Can Lord Xu do me the honor?"

The prince smiled and saw that "Xu Xinnian" had no intention of leaving. He thought that it would not be too late to talk to Lin'an tomorrow.

He immediately stood up and said: "I am bored, so I came to sit down. I have some business to attend to, so I will go first."

Lin'an stood up and sent the prince out of the hospital with Xu Qi'an. Watching the prince's back as he left, she raised her round chin and smiled:

"Does Lord Xu have anything else to do?"

Xu Qi'an said in his own voice, as soft as a mosquito's hum: "Your Highness, I miss you so much."

Lin'an's delicate body suddenly stiffened, and surprise, astonishment and excitement flashed in her amorous peach blossom eyes, and an intoxicating blush surged on her round and fair face.

Her thick eyelashes fluttered a few times, she suppressed her joy and excitement, forced herself to be calm, and said: "Master Xu, I still have a lot of things to ask you, let's go in."

Returning to the reception room, she calmly ordered: "You all leave."

The maids standing in the hall bowed and left the reception room.

When everyone left, Bian Bian immediately changed her face, pinched her waist, stared, puffed her cheeks, and said angrily: "Dog slave, why don't you reply? Why don't you come to see me?"

"Your Highness, are you thinking about me so much that you can't eat or sleep?" Xu Qian'an no longer pretended and said with a smile.

"You, don't talk nonsense, I will miss you."

Lin'an quickly denied it. She was an unmarried princess, a pure and innocent Lin'an, and she certainly couldn't admit to missing a man, such a shameful thing.

Xu Qian'an stared at her and said softly, "But, I miss your Highness so much that I can't eat or sleep. I wish I could grow wings and fly into the palace.

"Even if your Majesty bends his bow and shoots me down, as long as I can see your Highness, I will die without regrets."

Bian Bian's pretty face flushed, and she stammered, "You...you...you can't talk to me like this."

She suddenly felt flustered. She had never experienced such a bold and explicit statement before. She felt like a little white mouse forced into a corner. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Your Highness, come, let me tell you about the interesting things that happened in Jianzhou these days. "

Xu Qian'an grabbed her little hand and pulled her to sit down at the table.

Lin'an resisted a little, then let him hold her hand, lowered her head slightly, and looked smug.

Time passed by, and soon it was time for lunch.

Until the palace maid stood in the yard and called, Lin'an stopped reluctantly, she needed company too much.

"You can't stay in Shaoyin Palace for lunch, I will move to Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, dog slave, can you come again?" Her soft eyes were filled with expectation and a hint of pleading.

"I will." Xu Qian'an pinched her soft little hand.

Lin'an smiled immediately, with a charming and charming look, she was a charming girl.

"Wait a minute, I have something for you."

She stood up with her skirt lifted and left the reception room. After a long time, she asked the palace maids to return with plates of gold, silver and jade.

"You guys leave first. "

After sending the maid away, she chirped, "You are no longer an official, and I don't know if you have other means of making a living. It's always good to have more gold and silver. There are many valuables in Shaoyin Palace, and I don't need them.

"Huaiqing said that you may leave the capital in the future. I, I don't know if I can see you again in the future..."

She didn't say anything else. She glanced at him. In fact, she wanted to see what he looked like again, but he was now disguised as his cousin.

This is Shaoyin Palace, the imperial palace, and he couldn't be willful to let him remove his disguise.

Lin'an had to keep his expectations in his heart.

"By the way, this storybook is quite interesting. You, you can take it back and have a look." After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to take out the storybook hidden in her sleeve.

Xu Qian'an packed up his things, put them into the fragments of the Earth Book, walked to the door of the hall, hesitated a little, stretched out his hand, and wiped his face for a moment.

"Your Highness!"

He turned around with a smile.

The sky-blue brocade clothes were embroidered with light blue cloud patterns, and the rings and pendants were jingling. The hair was tied with a hollow golden crown and the feet were wearing cloud-covered boots.

Lin'an was a little dazed for a moment.

.......

The next day, Xu Qian'an and Xu Xinnian took the carriage of Miss Wang's family and entered the imperial city. The coachman drove to the palace.

Xu Qian'an sat on the soft couch covered with wool, flipping through the storybook in his hand.

"Love Heaven Great Sage, what a mess of books, why do you read these idle books?" Xu Xinnian asked curiously.

Big brother, a crude warrior, never reads books.

"The book tells the story of a little man of the demon clan who fell in love with the princess of heaven on purpose. Because this was an unallowed love, the little man of the demon clan was demoted to the mortal world and worked like a cow and a horse. Later, the little man of the demon clan killed the heaven and snatched the princess back to the mortal world, and the two lived a story of simple meals together."

Xu Qian'an's smile was a little complicated.

This is the script Lin'an gave him. What it implies is self-evident.

During the conversation, the carriage stopped outside the palace.

The steward of the palace had been waiting at the gate. When the carriage stopped, he immediately led the two into the palace.

Xu Xinnian stayed in the reception room, accompanied by Wang Simu. Xu Qian'an keenly noticed that Miss Wang looked at him with a bit of resentment.

Are you blaming me for beating up your sweetheart? Bah, what does it have to do with you if I beat up my own little brother... He complained in his heart and followed the steward to the study of Prime Minister Wang.

In the luxurious and spacious study, Prime Minister Wang, with gray hair, was wearing dark clothes, sitting behind the desk, holding a book in his hand.

"Prime Minister." Xu Qian'an bowed.

"Master Xu, please take a seat."

Wang Shoufu put down the book, looked at him with slightly vicissitudes of life eyes, and smiled: "Master Xu is a martial artist, I won't keep you in suspense."

No, your words clearly reveal your contempt for martial artists...Xu Qi'an said that he came to the palace today to ask for "rewards" from Wang Shoufu.

"If there is anything I can help you with, please ask, Master Xu."

Xu Qi'an hesitated for a moment and said: "Two things, first, I have to go to the case library of the Ministry of Revenue to check the files. Second, there is an old case that I want to ask Wang Shoufu."
