Someone was already knocking on the window. Since he dared to knock on the window, it meant that he was an acquaintance.

Sure enough, Qi Yin’s voice was heard, “Xue Yan.”

Afraid that others would hear, Qi Yin naturally did not dare to directly address Xue Yan as the Crown Prince.

Jiang Yue gestured for Xue Yan to continue practicing his stance. In martial arts, even if it was just the basics, one should never slack. He should study and practice hard. At the same time, Jiang Yue walked to the window and opened the back window.

Then, she saw Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin standing outside the window.

The sky had already turned dark. If it wasn’t for the lights in Xue Yan’s room being lit, and the windows being pushed open, they would not have been able to recognize the two adults.

“Come in.” Jiang Yue said in a low voice. Most of their family members were not asleep yet, so it was best to be low-key.

Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin stepped through the window and entered.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xue Yan in the horse stance. Although Shao

Zhongxi was usually stoic, his eyes widened and he stopped in his tracks

When Shao Zhongxi stopped, Qi Yin, who was behind, almost bumped into Shao Zhongxi. When Qi Yin finally stabilized herself she saw Xue Yan in the horse stance. There was even an incense stick behind him. Qi Yin was immediately stunned.

Xue Yan actually felt a little uncomfortable from their gazes. However, he and Jiang Yue always brought Xue Shi along for these things, and for some reason, that little brat liked to watch him with his two little eyes wide open all the time. After a few more instances, he started to get used to the looks. Even though Qi Yin was clearly staring, he was still steadily taking the horse stance.

When Jiang Yue saw Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin come in, she closed the rear window again. Then, without caring whether Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin saw Xue Yan or how they reacted, she went straight back to the bed and sat down cross-legged.

“Please, have a seat.” Xue Yan continued to walk in a horse stance while suppressing his voice as he politely smiled.

The Crown Prince was in a horse stance, so it was not appropriate for the officials to sit down. The etiquette of a monarch and his subjects should still be carefully practiced. Qi Yin quickly brought a chair over from the side, and then Shao Zhongxi sat down on the chair with a golden knife. Qi Yin stood behind the chair with a sword in her hand.

“What’s the matter?” Xue Yan asked in a suppressed voice.

Shao Zhongxi finally spoke. He lowered his voice and said, “There’s news from the city that the Emperor has agreed that after Prince Qings burial, which is on the sixteenth of the first month, the Empress Dowager will set off from the capital city and personally bring people here to check the soundness of the evidence.’

Hearing this, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

Since Empress Dowager Yunzi was coming, then they only needed to wait for her to bring her men over.

Seeing that it looked like they predicted this, Shao Zhongxi lowered his voice and asked, “The New Year is almost passing, when do you plan to practice martial arts with me?”

Previously, Xue Yan had said that he would probably only learn martial arts from him after the new year.

There was no need to officially wait till it was over. The sooner he learns how to fight and defend himself, the better.

As for the matter of his identity, he would have to wait for the Empress

Dowager to come and see things for herself. The Empress Dowager was still in the Imperial Capital and had yet to set off. It was best to practice as much as he could now.

Moreover, wasn’t Xue Yan already practicing it now.

Looking at how stable he was, it was obvious that he had been practicing for a long time.

Xue yan looked at Jiang Yue and said, “l have to tell my family about practicing martial arts. At that time, I will say that I want to practice martial arts and want to hire a master with good skills to come to the village to teach me.. Will you be willing to come and live in this village with me?”
