Chapter 805: True Philanthropy
In the academy, lanterns were lined up in the corridors, and the Minglun Hall was brightly lit.
Xiao Chen was a little surprised to see this situation, but he also remembered that Wen Jiancheng had reported to him at that time, and he asked Wen Jiancheng to find Zhang Changzong.
Oh, Zhang Changzong has retired and returned to his hometown, so Qing Changan is now temporarily taking over the position of Siye.
So is Qing Changan back home now, or is he still in the academy?
Xiao Yao said: "Qing Chang'an is very serious. He lives in Xinglinzhai, which is next to your Gezhizhai. You should see each other often in the future."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yao. She was smiling like a spring breeze, and even seemed to be gloating.
It was like waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
really-
very funny.
The two of them walked all the way to Gezhizhai, "Wait until Aying finishes school, then I'll go talk to her."
Xiao Chen didn't say anything.
Jian Wu had been gone for two quarters of an hour before returning to make a pot of tea. The students had also finished school, so Xiao Yao said, "Come on, brother Huang, go with me to take a look."
"No." Xiao Chen said lightly while drinking tea.
Xiao Yao asked again: "What about watching the moon?"
"Aren't you going to look for Miss Xie?"
"Of course," she looked at Jian Wu, "Go and find Miss Xie."
Jian Wu looked at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen said: "As long as it is not my personal matter, and I have not sent you there, you must follow the emperor's orders."
Anyway, as long as it is not related to him and does not affect his affairs, it is right to listen to the emperor.
Jian Wu clasped his fists and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
Jian Wu just took two steps back, turned around and left.
Xiao Yao said: "Let's go and enjoy the moon."
Xiao Chen looked at her and said, "The moonlight is not good today."
"And the stars. It's been cloudy for a few days, but the weather couldn't be cooler."
As she spoke, Xiao Yao took the teacup from Xiao Chen's hand, and then put the teapot and teacup away on a tray. "Let's go."
Xiao Chen was helpless, "How can you look like an emperor?"
What else would it look like?
Xiao Yao frowned, looking disapproving.
Xiao Chen said: "Like a bandit, so unreasonable!"
"What can I say to my brother?"
In the court and anywhere else, she is the selfless emperor, except when she is with her father, her mother, Yun Chu, and her brother.
"My brother's hospitality is really poor. If it continues like this, I will have to go to Yunfo Temple and complain to Master Changkong's grave, saying that my brother has no respect for the elderly and love for the young, and deliberately bullies his younger sister."
Xiao Chen: “…”
Do you want to see what nonsense she is talking about?
Xiao Yao was about to walk out of the house, but she stopped when she looked at the incense burner in the room. Was her brother using the incense she gave him?
Just when Xiao Yao was suspicious and wanted to go and take a look, Xiao Chen hurried over and said, "Let's go."
She must never know.
Otherwise, there is no telling how many secret tricks are waiting for him!
Xiao Yao giggled, "It feels so good to have a royal brother. This is the love of a real brother, it warms my heart."
Xiao Chen also laughed. He also felt that Xiao Yao and Xiao Zhenzhen were sisters who made him feel warm in his heart.
Suddenly, Xie Ying came to his mind. The girl had a pair of bright eyes. She looked a little delicate when she looked at him, and her cautiousness was also somewhat graceful.
When he confessed his love, his eyes were even brighter.
Xiao Yao asked: "What does the emperor think?"
Xiao Chen came back to his senses, "No, nothing."
The two of them had already walked into the pavilion. From here, they could clearly see Xinglinzhai, but the lanterns there were not lit, so it looked pitch black.
"Brother, do you feel lonely sometimes?" Xiao Yao asked herself, "For example, I am the emperor above all others, but during the two days when Yun Chu was away, I didn't even have anyone to talk to. I always felt lonely."
Xiao Chen said righteously: "Your Majesty, you are the supreme ruler, above all others. I am talking to you, Your Majesty."
“Get used to being alone.”
Xiao Yao: "You..."
"One person can do a lot of things." Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Chen. When he spoke, his expression was serious and there was no falsehood at all.
Xiao Yao suddenly stood up, ran to the corridor and took down a lantern, then moved in front of Xiao Chen. The dim yellow candlelight reflected on the man's face. The two looked at each other. Xiao Yao did not see a trace of pretense on her brother's face.
She opened her mouth and asked, "Is my brother really not interested at all?"
"If it's true, I will tell Ah Ying not to hang herself on a tree like you!"
Her words sounded somewhat threatening.
Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
Xiao Yao was speechless. It was really, really infuriating. The Xiao family had poor descendants, and even produced a person like Xiao Chen!
This is all Master Changkong’s fault!
If my brother had not traveled with Master Changkong, how could he be so pure and indifferent?
"So does your Royal Brother dislike A Ying, or does he dislike all women?"
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned, "I don't dislike anyone, regardless of gender."
Xiao Yao chuckled, "Brother Royal is really philanthropic. You are a Buddhist. You want to love all living things, right?"
Xiao Chen said nothing.
Haha, that is to say, the emperor loves everyone, but he has no feelings between men and women, and he treats Aying the same as he treats others?
Why doesn't she believe it so much?
Just at this moment, a little light came from the distance.
The man was holding a lantern and talking happily with the woman beside him. Xiao Yao watched for a while, and Xiao Chen naturally saw it too.
Xiao Yao said: "If Qing Chang'an didn't have a concubine or a concubine's eldest son, then he and A Ying would actually be quite compatible."
Xiao Chen said: "If the love between two people lasts for a long time, it doesn't matter if they are the eldest son of a concubine."
Xiao Yao: “!!!”
"It seems that your Buddhist nature is better than that of Taoism. Why didn't you choose Buddhism and become a monk directly?"
Xiao Chen thought back to the past...
Then he looked at Xiao Yao and stretched out his hand. "Maybe, I still long for a little bit of fatherly and motherly love in my heart." He smiled, looking very serious. "I also want to see you."
Xiao Yao opened her mouth, "Do you regret it?"
Xiao Yao felt a little guilty, thinking that she had done many things to force her brother.
Xiao Chen shook his head, "I don't regret it. Father and mother make me feel warm. You and Zhenzhen also make me feel warm and happy."
Very warm, very happy——
These words don't sound like something a person without warmth would say.
The emperor is a warm-hearted person, but no woman can get into his heart.
Xiao Yao looked towards the distance, towards Xinglinzhai, "Brother, please look at them."
Xiao Yao held Xiao Chen's head with both hands and asked him to look at Qing Chang'an and Xie Ying. Maybe Jian Wu caught up with them and said something to them.
Finally, Jian Wu and Xie Ying walked towards their pavilion.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May the emperor and your highness be well." Xie Ying greeted them politely. She hadn't seen Xiao Chen for several days, so she thought she would have calmed down a lot. But when she saw him, her nervousness and pounding heart made her feel uneasy.
