"Lord Jiang Zhen is also looking for the young prince?"

Jiang Wuyan turned her head and greeted him, "You also?"

Wen Wan said, "If you have nothing else to do, then go look around. By the way … I want to see that guy called Returning Ship. "

Jiang Wuyan walked up to him and walked beside him. "Don't you have any relationship with him?"

Wen Wan smiled, and pretended to tacitly agree. "Regarding him, do you have any news about him?"

Jiang Wuyan thought for a moment and suddenly said, "He's your junior brother!"

Wen Wan was surprised. "Are you serious?"

"I heard Hao mention it a few years ago, but I didn't press him." Jiang Wuyan glanced at him and couldn't help smiling, "If you're worried, I can help you ask."

Wen Wan said, "That's not necessary, we just have a rough idea of what's going on. Since he has a good place to go, there's no need for me to participate. "

Jiang Wuyan said, "That's fine too. Letting go is better than not being able to protect yourself."

Wen Wan looked down at the footprints on the road. "Looks like someone's coming."

Jiang Wuyan glanced at the footprints on the road. There were four rows of shallow footprints walking into the side hall. It had snowed all night yesterday, but today it had stopped snowing. These four rows of footprints should have been fresh ones.

Wen Wan stopped in his tracks, looked at Jiang Wuyan, and asked: "What's wrong?" Go in? "

Jiang Wuyan said, "Come in, why not?" He went up the steps and knocked softly on the door.

Unexpectedly, it was not Ran Hao who opened the door.

Han Yan was only slightly surprised for a moment before he stepped aside, "It has been a long time since Lord Jiang and Young Master Wen have seen each other."

Jiang Wuyan nodded and walked into the hall without a word. Wen Wan smiled and said: "It's been two months since we last met, but Sir Han's qinggong has improved quite a bit." He looked back at the footprints on the stairs and raised his chin.

Han Yan looked over to where he was looking at, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Thanks to young prince and the guidance of the imperial bodyguards, I have indeed improved a lot."

When Zhao Qingyan heard this, she laughed softly, "With you sparring with Hao Qingyan, Hao Qingyan's martial arts has also improved."

Jiang Wuyan took the tea from Ran Hao's hand, found a seat and casually sat down, "I saw how many rounds Master Bai had fought with the star dust yesterday, and my progress was very fast. "Considering how lazy I have been these past few years, I'm afraid they will catch up soon."

Zhao Qingyan smiled, "I didn't see you here for such a long time yesterday, I guessed that you went to check on big brother Ran and stayed there." I also told my mother that you had come to eat with me, and I don't know if you were exposed. "

Jiang Wuyan said, "It's quite lively over there. Furthermore, we know most of the people there, so it's not as awkward as it usually is." It's too lonely here. Just think about it and forget about it. "

Zhao Qingyan knew he was only joking, so she casually teased, "In the past few days, the Mansion of the King has become the arena for all the martial arts experts. Where's Big Brother Wen? "He didn't use his full strength?"

"I am just a businessman. How could I dare to show off my martial arts skills in front of the masters of the martial arts world?" Wen Wan sat down beside Jiang Wuyan and smiled, "There are two royal experts …"

Xia Pao wanted to say something, but stopped himself.

Han Yan noticed the expression on Xia Fan's face and casually added, "In all the inner court, aside from the envoy, no one has been able to win face under Hao's command for a few years. The experts in the martial arts world have become nothing more than jokes. "

Zhao Qingyan teased, "You've been staying in the Prince's Mansion for two months now, and you've learnt to constantly flatter me, right?"

Han Yan replied with a straight face, "I don't flatter you at all. Tell me the truth."

Other than the confused Guizhou and the expressionless Ran Hao, everyone else started laughing. Seven people were either standing or sitting, and the side hall was still quite empty.

Everyone sat at tables and chairs that could accommodate ten people. The coldness that Jiang Wuyan spoke of was actually just looking at the luxurious hall, without a trace of life in it.

The laughter of the five people was just enough to fill a field of vitality.

With the others present, Jiang Wuyan was in no hurry to speak. She merely exchanged a few pleasantries and took a cup of tea.

After he had finished with what he needed to do, he gave a few simple exhortations before looking at the people around him. "Bring Boss Xia to the pharmacy. Song Xiangran should be here today."

Wen Wan's pupils shrank as he placed his fingers on the teacup in front of him, preparing to knock it down.

"Sir Han, is it convenient for you to change me to hot tea?" Jiang Wuyan placed her cup of tea back on the table and pushed the other teacup, which was about to fall from the table, back to its original position. Wen Wan was slightly startled, but he still let go of his finger and gave up. He only wanted to see what Jiang Wuyan was going to do next.

Ran Hao was about to open the door and leave when Han Li approached the stove. Hearing this, Zhao Qingyan did not seem to be suspicious, but only reached for his cup of tea: "Is it cold already?"

The teacup on Jiang Wuyan's palm was still slightly hot, "It's not cold at all. I just suddenly feel like drinking something hot." With a slight chill, Valley Master Xiao reminded me to drink some hot tea yesterday. "

Han Yan rushed over in front of Ran Hao, "You still have to listen to Valley Master Xiao."

Zhao Qingyan was somewhat gloating, "Since I've already set my sights on you, if you don't recover from your illness, I won't let you off."

Jiang Wuyan helplessly threw up her hands, "Actually, I really want to casually get some medicine to drink, so I can sweat freely now. However, I suddenly remembered that the pharmacy is extremely close to Valley Master Xiao's residence, and since I'm too lazy to go out and buy medicine, I might as well give up on that idea. "

Han Yan poured a cup of tea and placed it on the table, then asked with a smile, "I can do it for you." There are so many people in the King's Manor. As long as Lord Jiang does not personally go, it should be fine even if I am seen right? " He looked at Ran Hao and said: "It will also save Hao and Leader Xia a trip."

Zhao Qingyan thought for a moment. "Alright."

Xia Fan was slightly startled. "Then I …"

Zhao Qingyan looked at Han Yan and said, "You go back first, I am familiar with your wife." After all, this is a matter of the prison. If I don't go and take a look, I won't be able to relax. "

"Perhaps I should go with my lord."

Han Yan said, "My current job is to be half a guard at the palace and also to be a civilian. Since you've caught up to the young prince's wedding, there's not much to do for half a month. Don't you have to be on duty tonight? I think it's better if I go back early and get some sleep. "

Zhao Qingyan said, "The New Year's Eve is approaching, so all the matters in the palace are on the line. You can go back and rest for a while."

Now that they had said so, Xia Fan agreed. After bowing to Han Yan, he turned around and left.

"New Year's Eve." Jiang Wuyan took a sip of the freshly poured tea, "The palace is going to start making new moves in the next few days, I don't think it's going to be lonely anymore, right?"

Zhao Qingyan looked helpless. "Father must set the date before New Year's Eve to bring many people here. I'm afraid they won't be able to make it back before New Year's Eve."

Wen Wan smiled. "When Prince was young, he was a loyal man in the martial arts world and had made friends with many people. Most of the people in the martial arts world were all alone. It was rare for them to not get tired of reunion, much less like it. I came to the Duke's Palace to join in on the fun, but instead, other than a year's worth of peace and desolation. "

Zhao Qingyan asked, "Young Master Wen, aren't you going back?"

Wen Wan shrugged his shoulders. "Forget about me. I've been hiding from home for the past New Year's Eve, so why should I be in such a hurry to return home?"

Jiang Wuyan, who was standing at the side, laughed, "Brother Wen and I are here to get some rare food. Since both the Star Dust and the Bai Clan Head are here, there's no reason for us to leave either."

Wen Wan agreed. "It's rare to have a year of peace."

Jiang Wuyan's gaze moved slightly. "It will always be the same every year in the future."

Wen Wan smiled. "I'll borrow Jiang Zhen's words of praise."

Everyone had their own thoughts, but no one wanted to break this rare warmth. They all hid their thoughts, who could not see the worry and hesitation in each other's eyes?

They were all people who would bear the heavy burden on their shoulders. A few days before New Year's Eve was the only time they would be able to catch their breath before being crushed by the heavy burden.

They casually chatted for a bit and agreed to wait a few days for New Year's Eve to pass before leaving the city. Before the last snow melted, they would admire the plum blossoms this year.

A few days after the wedding, the number of matters in the Privy Council increased with the arrival of New Year's Eve. Not long after Xia Fan left, another guard came to ask for advice. Jiang Wuyan and Wen Wan said their goodbyes and left, and Ran Hao went to see them out.

"Since Lord Jiang Zhen said so, aren't you afraid that the young prince and Martial Uncle Xiao might accidentally leak it?" After walking a distance, Wen Wan asked.

Jiang Wuyan looked at him with a faint smile. "I'll have to trouble you to remind me of this."

Wen Wan was slightly startled, but then he broke into laughter. "It's still the Lord of Jiang Zhen that thinks everything through."

Jiang Wuyan smiled and asked, "Are you afraid that Xia Pao and Xia Qingqian will meet? "Which one of them would recognize the other?"

Wen Wan was silent for a moment. "Don't you have a brother, Lord Jiang?"

Jiang Wuyan threw up her hands and said, "Not only brother, I don't have any relatives."

Wen Wan asked, "Then does the town lord have someone he loves? When one missed someone to the point of illness, even if they hadn't seen each other for decades, they would still be able to recognize him at a glance. I can see at a glance that Chavez is who he is, and I can't bet they know each other. "

Seeing that Jiang Wuyan was silent, he realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said, "I have no intention of touching Lord Jiang's sorrows."

"It's fine, it can't be considered as a hurt." Jiang Wuyan shook her head, she did not seem to care at all. "It's just that when I thought about the expectation I saw in his eyes when I was meeting with Yun Mo to appreciate the plum, I was absent-minded for a moment."

Wen Wan's gaze fell far away, and then he looked back again: "I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy that plum blossom."

Jiang Wuyan looked at him, "What do you mean?"

Wen Wan smiled. "With the addition of Palace Master Ran and Shang Zhao, there will always be one who won't be able to go."

After appreciating the meaning of his words, Jiang Wuyan couldn't help but laugh, "I bet that the one who won't be able to go is you, Brother Wen."

Wen Wan threw up his hands, declining to comment. "When that day comes, I may not be the only one who will break the engagement."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Wuyan stopped and said, "I haven't had the time to ask you directly. Ju, Ju, Ju, which do you choose? "

On that day, they wandered about indeterminately, but after that, there were people from Ling Ge Palace who couldn't inquire about it. At this moment, in the Qi King Manor, he wanted to ask something.

He didn't know if it was sarcastic or not, but it was precisely because of this that they didn't have to worry about any servants coming and going to the crown prince's residence to listen to their conversation – even though there were almost no people around them who had kung fu enough to listen to their conversation.

"Us." Wen Wan repeated these two words again and again, his expression seemed to have thought a lot, as if he had forgotten a lot about this matter. "Senior Master wants to protect me, I will follow Senior Master's choice."
