Chapter 100: Only room for one person
At the same time, a group of more than a hundred people arrived at Lianguzhai.
"The scenery here is pretty good."
The handsome young man stopped and his eyes lingered on the grass full of wild flowers.
The wind is clear and clear, the green grass is like water, and the waterfall is like a screen.
It's a great place to recuperate.
"Young Master Yan, please come with me." The guard urged.
Yan Shizong withdrew his gaze and stepped to follow again. The scenery was right there, and he could enjoy it at any time.
It's still important to get down to business.
When the two arrived in the backyard, Xuan Lin had just finished practicing boxing and was collecting his moves.
"Okay, it seems you are recovering well."
Yan Shizong clapped his hands and strode towards Xuan Lin.
Speaking of which, he hadn't seen this little cousin for several years.
My aunt married into the royal family and could not go home to visit her. Their Yan family was based in Jingzhou and they also held the position of general. It was not convenient for them to enter the imperial capital except to report on their duties.
Ever since his aunt got married, he had only seen their mother and son three or four times. When his grandfather sent him to meet his cousin, he couldn't even remember what his cousin looked like.
"Third cousin, long time no see." Xuan Lin wiped the sweat from his neck and greeted with a smile.
Yan Shi's brown eyes suddenly widened and he took a deep breath.
"Why do you look better and better as you grow older!"
He remembered that this little cousin had been beautiful since he was a child, but not to this level. Now his whole figure seemed to be glowing, and there was not a single flaw on his body. It was no exaggeration to say that he was an immortal descended from the earth.
How do you say a word?
Burning like a fairy.
Xuan Lin's smile froze, "Third cousin, I was joking."
Some words, to another person, feel completely different.
When Wen Yunxi praised her beauty, he couldn't help but feel happy, but when his cousin praised him, he felt uncomfortable all over.
"Haha, I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Liu." Yan Shizong patted Xuan Lin's shoulder and back gently.
"However, my cousin still has to remind you, don't smile at girls in the future, otherwise you will attract her soul and you will have no choice but to hide everywhere."
At this point, he added, "Qing Shu's girl will come over in two days. Don't smile at her, otherwise she will be knocked unconscious by you."
Manager Liu was shocked. Yan Qingshu wanted to come over anyway. Wasn't he here to cause trouble? He still remembered that when Yan Qingshu entered the imperial city last year, the prince just held a reception banquet for her and was pestered for ten days.
They happened to be cousins, and it was said that the second master was secretly setting them up, so it was very difficult to Yan Qi had been pampered since she was a child. When she saw that the prince always avoided her, she lost her temper and caused chaos in the prince's palace.
Xuan Lin's eyebrows twitched and he asked doubtfully: "Isn't the seventh cousin already engaged to Lan Ershao?"
The news came out at the beginning of the year, and he was relieved at that time. He really couldn't resist Yan Qingshu, his cousin.
"It's a lie," Yan Shizong couldn't help laughing when he thought of that incident, "Second Young Master Lan spent the night in a brothel. When Qing Shu learned the news, he dragged him out of the brothel and beat him up, and the marriage ended."
There was a huge commotion at that time, and Mrs. Lan brought hundreds of servants there, regardless of wanting to teach Qing Shu a lesson. If he hadn't personally brought people to help, Qing Shu's girl would have been beaten.
Manager Liu looked at Xuan Lin worriedly. Yan Qingshu was a big killer. He was pampered by everyone in the Yan family and did things regardless of the consequences. If he really chased after him and saw the prince who had become more beautiful now, he would not go directly to the prince's bed. go.
It's scary to think about! Xuan Lin coughed lightly and did not continue the topic. He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, "Third cousin, please come this way."
Yan Shizong actually meant to test what he said. Seeing Xuan Lin's reaction, he couldn't help but frown, feeling a little embarrassed.
"In addition to visiting you this time, I also have a few words for my grandfather. He said that the Yan family is the backing of you and your aunt, and we share weal and woe." A smile appeared in Xuan Lin's eyes, "Thank you, grandpa. "
Although he is a prince, he has always been rejected by his father, and no one wants to have anything to do with him. The Yan family is his maternal family, and they have had few contacts over the years. He knows that his grandfather is somewhat trying to avoid suspicion.
Due to the defeat in the war more than ten years ago, the Yan family has not only lost its glory, but its power has also been shrinking year by year. It will not be smooth for the children of the family to become officials and generals. If they are rejected by the emperor because of him again, it will only make matters worse.
For this reason, the mother-in-law never took the initiative to contact the Yan family, and often warned him to be careful, and he always remembered it.
Being sealed off to Lanzhou this time, he had no influence nearby and could only borrow money from the Yan family. He thought that his grandfather would avoid suspicion as before, but he never expected that he would say this.
Yan Shizong observed Xuan Lin's expression and knew that he was very happy to hear this, so he continued: "Grandfather also said that if we can get closer, the troops and horses can be mobilized more quickly."
"How can this be!"
Before Xuan Lin could speak, Manager Liu shouted angrily.
General Yan has always avoided the prince, but now that the prince is in such a dangerous situation, he actually forces the prince to marry Yan Qingshu.
Yan Qingshu is his granddaughter, so isn't the prince his grandson? !
There must be a limit to partiality!
He was the one who forced Concubine Yan to enter the palace. Concubine Yan stayed in the palace alone for nearly 20 years, silently enduring for the sake of the Yan family. But now the Yan family even wanted the prince to exchange their support with marriage.
Compared to the angry Manager Liu, Xuan Lin was calm.
He added tea to Yan Shizhong and spoke gently, "Third cousin, I understand what grandpa said. Please tell him that I still gave the same answer back then."
When he was pestered by Yan Qingshu, he told his grandfather and second uncle that he would not marry Yan Qingshu, and this is still the case now.
He was not surprised that his grandfather said such words. After all, his grandfather was the head of the Yan family. He was responsible for the future of the Yan family and needed to think about the long term.
Of course, cousins are not as strong as a marriage.
Yan Shizong was stunned. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect Xuan Lin to refuse.
He looked at Xuan Lin's expression and asked, "My cousin has a girl he likes?"
Xuan Lin's eyes flashed, and he cleared the person who flashed in his mind, shook his head and said: "No, I just don't want to marry my seventh cousin."
Yan Shizong didn't want to give up and continued to persuade: "It doesn't matter if you have a girl named Xinyi. As long as you tell Qing the position of the main concubine, we won't stop you from welcoming the concubine in."
How can a man only have one woman, not to mention that Xuan Lin is still a vassal king with a fiefdom, so there are not too many women.
I believe Qing Shu can also understand.
Xuan Lin said, "I will only marry one person in my life."
Ever since he heard his mother-in-law talk about her past, he vowed never to let his marriage become an exchange of power.
His wife can only be someone who loves and depends on each other.
His heart is both big and small.
One pair of people for a lifetime is enough.
"This..." Yan Shizong looked at Xuan Lin in surprise, wondering why he had such an idea.
If you only marry one woman, how can you flourish?
Besides, there are so many women in the world, and don’t you find it boring to have so many women come and go? After Yan Shizong carefully looked at Xuan Lin for a few times, his heart lit up.
By the way, his cousin has never been close to women. He must have never had sex with women and has not realized the beauty of women.
Yan Shizong coughed lightly, "We'll discuss this later. Just take me around first."
Anyway, Qing Shu will be here in two days, so let her fight for it.
