Chapter 129:
Xue Yan finally sat at the table of Jun's family.
However, Mrs. Jun had a cold face, and Jun Huailang sat by the side, daring not to say more, only when Xue Yan came in, she looked at him a few more times.
Xue Yan spent a solid morning outside. His complexion was not white at all, and at this time he was still a little red, with some light sweat hanging on it, as if he had just come off the battlefield.
Jun Huailang glanced at him more and heard Madam Jun clearing her throat.
Jun Huailang had to look away.
Yes!"
Xue Yan lowered her head, raised her hand to touch the top of her hair, and gave her a rare soft smile: "Well, you have grown taller."
Mrs. Jun's eyes turned to him.
"Since His Royal Highness King Guangling is here, take a seat," she said.
Xue Yan smiled lightly, and sat down obediently at the bottom.
Mrs. Jun did not speak, but moved the chopsticks first. Everyone started to eat silently, and they were silent for a meal, and they were eating without saying a word or sleeping.
After the people took down the food and served tea, Mrs. Jun opened her mouth and asked Ling Huan to take a nap first.
Jun Huailang and Xue Yan were left behind.
"I haven't asked the lord to come to the humble house early in the morning, what is the important thing. Please explain earlier, the lord, let's go quickly."
Mrs. Jun picked up the teacup and said slowly.
"Since Madam asked this question, she must know what I'm here for." Xue Yan said.
"The accident happened yesterday, although it has been dealt with, but I am still not at ease, so I will take a look."
He paused, glanced at Jun Huailang, and finally looked at Madam Jun calmly, and said, "But Madam can definitely see that I am a drunkard and not drinking."
Mrs. Jun squatted, then her face showed anger.
"King Guangling's actions are too irresponsible." She put the teacup on the table and said bluntly. "You are the king of a country, so naturally you can do whatever you want. You are not afraid of ridicule from the world, and you don't have to have any scruples. But Huailang is different. He can't stand your teasing. If you really treat him a little bit. Feelings, it's better to let him go in advance."
Mrs. Jun spoke very bluntly and was not afraid at all.
Seeing that Xue Yan heard this, he straightened his expression, no joke on his face, and looked at Madam Jun solemnly.
"Madam, I don't mean to play with Huailang at all," he said.
Mrs. Jun said: "Then you at least consider him. Now I won't go around with you, and everyone in the court knows that you want to inherit the great line. A country cannot be without a monarch, so does a monarch. Do you want to make Huai Lang a concubine in the harem, or do you want him to be accused by courtiers for the rest of his life, saying that he bewitched the emperor?"
Xue Yan shook his head.
"I have refused," he said.
Mrs. Jun was taken aback.
"Yesterday, my mother mentioned this to me." Xue Yan looked at Jun Huailang and said. "After I have revealed to my father and mother, I have someone I like, and I can't be this emperor."
Jun Huailang was stunned, and Mrs. Jun was also stunned.
Jun Huailang couldn't help but said, "How can this work? Who else can sit in that seat except you?"
Xue Yan did not hesitate: "There are so many people who can sit, not less than one of me."
Jun Huailang opened his mouth, but said nothing.
He firmly believed that Xue Yan would never do anything to disappoint him, but he did not expect that Xue Yan would use such a decisive way.
Although he did not set foot on the throne in his previous life, the situation in his past life and this life is completely different.
Xue Yan looked at Mrs. Jun who was stunned.
"What's more, if the father is still there, it is uncertain whether the disease can be cured or not. Since then, I have many younger brothers, and I can always choose one who can inherit the father's mantle. I I have negotiated with the royal father, and now I will temporarily manage the government for him, but I will not be the prince, and I will not seize the throne."
"You..."
"I have no interest in the power of the world." Xue Yan said. "Giving up Huailang for these, I will never do it."
Mrs. Jun opened her mouth, but said nothing.
Xue Yan looked at her with certainty, and continued: "I know Madam can't accept it, and she doesn't mean to persecute. Madam doesn't see me today, so I'll just wait at the door. After that, Madam still doesn't accept me , I can still wait."
Mrs. Jun looked at him.
In his light-colored eyes that are unique to foreigners, there is an indescribable determination.
"It was not intended to coerce you," he said. "It's just that I'm not very promising, and I've only identified Huai Lang in my life. I can have nothing but him, and I don't want anything."
After he finished speaking, he was not in a hurry, just sat in the same place and looked at Madam Jun quietly.
Mrs. Jun did not speak for a moment.
After a while, she said lightly: "Nothing else, just ask King Guangling to go back."
Xue Yan responded, stood up, saluted and backed out.
Before leaving, he glanced at Jun Huailang.
Only a fleeting glance, there is no superfluous expression on his face. But with just one look, Jun Huailang was completely relieved.
He knew that it was Xue Yan telling him, don't worry, he will handle everything.
—
That night, before Jun Huailang went to sleep, he went to Madam Jun's main courtyard.
Mrs. Jun was still up and doing needlework in front of the lamp. Although these little things didn't need her to bother, but over the years, she had the habit of making four seasons underwear for Duke Yongning by herself.
Even if Yongning is working outside, it is no exception.
Seeing Jun Huailang coming in, Mrs. Jun glanced at him and let him sit down in front of him.
"I've never seen you come to find your mother so diligently before." Mrs. Jun's work continued, and she skillfully sewed fine stitches. "I really can't help my mother, and my heart runs away with others."
Jun Huailang laughed.
"The son is just worried, Xue Yan speaks straight and makes his mother angry." He said.
Mrs. Jun glared at him: "Why, the name of King Guangling is also what you call it casually?"
Jun Huailang only smiled when he heard the words.
After a while, Mrs. Jun sighed.
“When your father comes back, you will be punished,” she said.
Jun Huailang nodded: "Of course I should be punished."
Mrs. Jun raised her hand and poked him in the forehead: "I know the punishment should be done? I don't know where I learned badly."
Speaking, she withdrew her hand, and the work in her hand stopped.
"He doesn't look like a rhetoric." Mrs. Jun said.
Jun Huailang said with a determined smile: "Of course not."
Mrs. Jun glanced at him: "How many years have you lived, what do you understand?"
Jun Huailang stood up and sat beside Mrs. Jun.
“Nature is not as transparent as my mother,” he said. "But mother knows that over the past two years, someone has been framing my father, making my father almost die in Jiangnan?"
Mrs. Jun frowned, her expression became serious, she put down her work and looked at Jun Huailang: "What's going on?"
Jun Huailang said: "The Xu family had a plan in Jiangnan for a long time, and they wanted to frame Jiang, but the one who went to Jiangnan became the father. Therefore, this game has become a game set up for the father. ."
He told Mrs. Jun all the turmoil, corruption, floods and epidemics in the south of the Yangtze River in a concise manner.
The more Madam Jun listened, the tighter her brows became.
"Then how did you and your father perceive it and how did you solve it?" she asked.
Jun Huailang shook his head.
"Son naturally does not have such ability." He said. "It's Xue Yan."
Mrs. Jun was silent.
Although she didn't know anything about Jiangnan, she knew what happened in Beijing.
A few months ago, King Guangling, who was in the limelight in the court, was suddenly sent to Jiangnan. Not long after, King Guangling arrested Shandong officials and returned to Beijing, bringing back a lot of evidence , found a huge case of corruption.
And what was stolen was the food that was supposed to be shipped to Jiangnan for disaster relief.
Mrs. Jun won't understand, what Xue Yan did is for Jun's family.
"Also, my mother didn't know that when my son went to Yangzhou with his father, Xue Yan saved his life." He said.
Mrs. Jun looked at him.
Jun Huailang smiled: "Speaking of which, Xue Yan saved me more than once. But that time, it was a rock collapse on the side of the mountain road, and I was buried under the rock. "
Mrs. Jun was shocked.
I heard Jun Huailang continue: "Xue Yan had nothing to do at the time, he rescued his son and protected him in a depression on the side of the mountain. The son was unharmed, but he was almost not rescued. return."
He looked at Madam Jun.
"At that time, as soon as I raised my hand, I could feel the back of his head. It was all blood and wet," he said.
Mrs. Jun's eyes have gradually turned red.
Jun Huailang's hand was on the back of her hand, clasping her hand in the palm of her hand.
"Mother, I tell you this, not to say that Xue Yan has any kindness to us, nor that it is because of this that I am happy with him." He said. "I just want to reassure my mother that Xue Yan is very reliable, and you don't have to worry about him."
Mrs. Jun was silent for a moment, raised her hand and wiped her eyes, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"...You don't tell me about these things." She whispered.
Jun Huailang said with a smile: "My mother is so far away, how can I make you worry in vain? Now that my son has returned safely, I dare to tell you these words."
Mrs. Jun sniffed.
Jun Huailang could clearly see her moving face.
After a while, Mrs. Jun whispered stubbornly: "However, people will always change, you can't hope, he has been like this all his life."
This is Mrs. Jun's stubbornness.
Although Duke Yongning is taciturn, he never speaks of love lightly, but he treats his wife well, and he has never even accepted a concubine.
Mrs. Jun knows best that although people are changeable, it is difficult for them to change their character and essence.
Jun Huailang also laughed when he heard this.
"The son can guarantee that he will not change." He looked at Madam Jun and said firmly. "Even if there is such a day, the mother does not have to be afraid. He and I are both in love with each other, and we are equal, not who depends on the other. Even if there is a day, you don't have to worry about your son."
Mrs. Jun knows that although her son looks good-natured, he is actually very opinionated.
After a while, she poked Jun Huailang in the forehead as if to relieve her hatred.
"You can't help your mother when you're older, and really can't help your mother when you're older," she said. "Forget it, if he comes tomorrow, I won't stop him."
