Chapter 206: How about we chat all night?
Chen Changan's heart was pounding, and he thought to himself that the Marquis of Xibo was such a shameless old man.
The Duke of Xibo is already over forty, and Yan Qing is only twenty years old. At this age, he could be Yan Qing’s father in the Great Chu!
Why are you still thinking about such a cute little wife?
After thinking about it, Chen Changan understood.
Li Wuling is a big piece of fat meat. Whoever can marry Yan Qing will be in charge of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry!
What's wrong with King Xibo? He has no military power.
Yan Qing blushed and said nothing. Prince Jing'an smiled.
"My Lord, Miss Yan is not your age, and she said that she would choose a husband who must be the top scholar."
Prince Jing'an smiled and said, "Besides, Miss Yan is a son-in-law who is being recruited. If she marries you, she will definitely go to the West with you. I'm afraid Miss Yan will not be able to adapt to the local climate."
Marquis Xibo just shook his head and chuckled: "If I can get Miss Yan, why would I care about any title?"
"Miss Yan and I serve grandma together in the capital, which is also a great pleasure in life."
King Xibo laughed heartily, and everyone else had to smile apologetically.
Seeing that the last people had arrived, Li Wuling ordered the banquet to begin. For a while, there was toasting and beauties dancing, and the scene was very lively.
Chen Changan was full and didn't want to see Chu Yanran, so he made an excuse to go to the toilet.
After coming out of the toilet, he did not return to the scene, but let his horse run free and came to the back garden.
The flowers here are in full bloom, just sit here and wait for the birthday party to be over.
Chen Changan sat beside the pavilion holding a flower in his mouth. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard someone talking behind him.
"Master Chen, you just acknowledged the old lady as your grandmother. Why did you come here?"
Chen Changan turned around and Yan Qing appeared in his sight.
Chen Changan nodded to Yan Qing: "It's not that I don't want to see grandma, it's that the families of Xibohou, Jing'an Wang, and Huainan Wang are all here, and I don't want to see them."
Yan Qing lifted up her gown and sat opposite Chen Changan: "Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask, Li Longxiang...is it really you?"
"What do you think?" Chen Changan smiled.
"If so, then you were right to leave King Huainan."
Yan Qing nodded his chin: "It is said that no one is perfect for a hundred days, and no flower is red for a hundred times. Life is short. What's the point of keeping such a family?"
Chen Changan didn't say anything because he didn't have much contact with Yan Qing.
Yan Qing also felt that this topic was too heavy: "Actually, I'm not angry at ***."
"I am the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Xibohou, Lu Fengsheng, and even the emperor are not interested in me, but the power in my father-in-law's hands."
"Perhaps, I am destined to be alone all my life, with no one to rely on."
Chen Changan shook his head seriously: "You have someone to rely on, your late husband. His spirit will protect you and keep you going."
Yan Qing smiled bitterly: "Are you here to laugh at me too?"
Chen Changan also thought it was nonsense and didn't say anything more.
No matter what the reason for a person's death, once he dies, he is dead. His property and his wife will eventually be taken over by someone else.
Yan Qing looked at the flowers and suddenly said, "Master Chen, I heard from my father-in-law about what happened to you in the Imperial Garden."
"The best among flowers, you only chose a weed. Let me ask you, in your eyes, am I the same as this peony?"
Chen Changan scratched his head. What did this mean?
"The final destination of beautiful flowers is a vase, which makes people feel happy and happy when looking at it."
Yan Qing bit her lip and said, "Does that mean I am the same in your eyes, and can only be looked at casually?"
Chen Changan couldn't figure out Yan Qing's thoughts and could only shake his head.
"Mrs. Li, please don't underestimate yourself."
"Someone once said that every piece of toilet paper has its own uses."
Yan found what he said funny and rolled his eyes immediately: "When a woman tells you this, shouldn't you enlighten her by citing scriptures?"
"You are so good, saying such nonsense."
Chen Changan stretched lazily and said, "Madam Li, please go back quickly. Grandma will find you missing soon and will look for you."
Yan Qing nodded and hesitated for a moment.
"Master Chen, let me tell you something from my heart."
Yan Qing hesitated for a long time, then gritted her teeth and said, "As early as when I married into the Li family, Xibo Hou sent someone to express his love to me."
"Honestly, I feel a chill all over my body."
"Why?" Chen Changan was confused.
"Do you know why Xibohou is only a marquis?"
Yan Qing bit her teeth and said softly, "Because his ancestors rebelled and fought for five years, the emperor finally agreed to save his family reluctantly."
"What would happen if Xibohou took control of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"
Yan Qing stopped talking and Chen Changan nodded repeatedly.
Will! Revolt!
Yan Qing didn't say much, and said through gritted teeth: "I think Xibo Hou will not give up so easily this time."
"My grandmother is old, and my father-in-law is a military commander. I am a woman, and I am afraid I can't handle it."
"So, please help me when you return, Master Chen."
"Not for me, but for the country and the people of Da Chu."
Chen Changan frowned. What did the country and people of Da Chu have to do with him?
But think about it...
Xiang Wang was still good to him. Now that he could leave the State of Chu, what would Xiang Wang do?
Can you leave him with a mess of a destroyed country and ruined family?
Yan Qing turned around and walked away. When he reached the end of the pavilion, he suddenly stopped and said, "Master Chen, although you don't understand romance, you are much better than those hypocrites."
"I... really like to express my feelings to you."
Yan Qing then left, and Chen Changan laughed out loud.
You see, once a person has status and position, he can win the favor of all kinds of beautiful women.
No, you have to be more restrained in the future.
After staying in the garden for a while, Chen Changan returned to the banquet.
There were wine jars all over the floor and a mess on the table. The officials were talking affectionately with red ears.
Seeing Chen Changan coming over, *** gritted his teeth and said, "Asshole, where have you been?"
"Just now I wanted to take you to Chu Yanran to toast and help you vent your anger, but why didn't I find you?"
Chen Changan opened his mouth and said, "Oh my god, you actually have the time to mind my business?"
"You don't need to worry about my own affairs, right?"
*** clenched her teeth and snorted.
This person doesn't know what is good for him!
Xibohou had almost finished drinking, and his face was full of alcohol: "Old lady, I heard it just now when I was outside the door. The Li Mansion is bustling with activity."
"What are you guys playing? I'm very curious."
The old lady waved her hand: "It's not a big deal."
"My grandson's wife came up with a few couplets to compete with my grandson Chen Changan to make everyone laugh."
Chen Changan, her grandson.
Lu Fengsheng felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and the Huainan King's family members all stared with their eyes wide open.
Chen Changan, can actually become the old lady’s grandson...is this all thanks to the blood spirit?
It should be my biological child!
"So you make friends through literature?"
Xibo Hou seemed very interested: "It just so happens that I like to study this when I have nothing to do in my fiefdom, and there are experts around me."
"How about I ask for a prize? Let's have a competition."
It was difficult for the old lady to refuse the proposal of the Duke of Xibo.
Xibo Hou showed his blade and said: "The competition cannot be in vain, we need a prize."
"If I lose, I will follow the lead of the Li family from now on; if I win, Miss Yan, please have a chat with me all night, okay?"
