52. Chapter 52

Listening to Pei Ze's words, Xiao Yanzhi also pinched his waist: "I don't think so, how did you find out?" ”

Pei Ze just wanted to say that he had to touch it several times a day, how could he not be able to find the difference? But when he saw Feng Yuan's playful smile out of the corner of his eye, Pei Ze closed his mouth.

Although he didn't get an answer, looking at Pei Ze's expression, Xiao Yanzhi probably guessed what Pei Ze didn't say, narrowed his eyes and smiled, Xiao Yanzhi asked, "Can't you take off this clothes?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Take it off. Pei Ze personally helped Xiao Yanzhi untie his clothes.

The last thick clothes were also taken off, Xiao Yanzhi shivered, turned his head and plunged into Pei Ze's arms: "It's so cold!" ”

Pei Ze frowned, turned his head to look at Feng Yuan, who had been quietly watching, and urged, "You hurry up." ”

Feng Yuan shrugged.

It's not like he's grinding for half a day, he's just not urging out loud.

"Then, please cooperate with the King of Shu." The King of Shu just hugged Pei Ze and didn't let go, how did he measure it?

Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, let go of Pei Ze as if he had made a lot of determination, turned around and stood straight in front of Feng Yuan, his hands stretched out.

Seeing this, Feng Yuan immediately pulled a rope at hand, and measured all over Xiao Yanzhi's body with quick movements, and measured all of them in less than a cup of tea.

"Come on, the King of Shu can put on his clothes, but don't catch a cold and get sick with me here." As he spoke, Feng Yuan turned around and recorded the number he had just measured on a piece of paper.

As soon as Feng Yuan's voice fell, Pei Ze picked up a piece of clothing and covered Xiao Yanzhi entirely.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise, and while getting dressed with Pei Ze's help, he asked, "Why did you join the army in the first place?" ”

Feng Yuan's skillful technique is not something that can be practiced in three years, if Feng Yuan really has only been a tailor for three years, then he can only say that this person was born to be a tailor. If he has the craft to make a living, why would he risk his life to join the army?

Feng Yuan said disapprerovingly: "My ancestors were all tailors, I met Pei Ze back then, and I thought it was quite interesting to fight, so I followed him, saying that I was in the army, but it was better to say that I was from him, but unfortunately he abandoned me after he was lame." ”

knew that Feng Yuan was joking, but Pei Ze didn't feel good about how he heard this, so he kicked Feng Yuan unceremoniously.

Feng Yuan dodged for a while, and patted off the footprints on his body without care, Feng Yuan saw that Xiao Yanzhi's clothes were all on, so he led the two people out of the hut.

"Does the King of Shu have any preference for clothes?"

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "No." ”

"How many sets are you going to make?" Feng Yuan looked at Pei Ze and then at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi also looked at Pei Ze when he heard this.

This kind of thing is naturally up to the person who pays for it.

Pei Ze took Xiao Yanzhi's hand and walked out, saying as he walked: "Whatever, it's ready to be sent to Wucheng Palace." ”

Hearing this, Feng Yuan was stunned again, and then secretly thought that Pei Ze really didn't like Xiao Yanzhi ordinarily, after all, the backyard of the Wucheng Palace, even the second prince Xu Lishan had never entered, but now he let the King of Shu live in.

"You're leaving?"

Pei Ze turned around and looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously: "Are you still in trouble?" ”

Feng Yuan sighed and complained: "You really have a new person and forget the old person, I have been by your side for so many years, can't you care about me a little more?" ”

Not bothering to pay attention to Feng Yuan's ridicule, Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi and walked out.

As soon as he pushed the door open, Pei Ze saw snowflakes flying outside.

"It's snowing, put your hat on." Saying this, Pei Ze turned around and personally pulled on the hood of Xiao Yanzhi's fur cloak, and after covering Xiao Yanzhi tightly, Pei Ze suddenly remembered what Feng Yuan had said when they entered the door.

Not to mention, after wearing this cloak, Xiao Yanzhi really looks like some kind of stuffed animal.

"It's snowing?" Xiao Yanzhi looked out happily.

"Is it cold?" Pei Ze dragged Xiao Yanzhi's hat forward again, almost blocking half of Xiao Yanzhi's face.

Feng Yuan saw these two people blocking his door and looking at the snow, and couldn't help coughing dryly.

I said...... It's just snowing, and it's going to be a little warmer outside, so why don't you go for a walk? ”

Although he guessed Pei Ze's love for Xiao Yanzhi when he heard Pei Ze say it, it was really unbearable to love this kind of Cheng dΓΉ, this scene was quite interesting at first glance, but it was really bad for the body to see too much.

Hearing this, Pei Ze's eyes lit up, he glanced at Feng Yuan approvingly, and asked Xiao Yanzhi, "Do you want to take a walk?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the large snowflakes flying in the sky, struggled for a while, and nodded.

Pei Ze smiled, and then said to Feng Yuan: "Let's go, you can make those clothes quickly." ”

"Yes, yes," Feng Yuan nodded helplessly, "I can't let the King of Shu freeze." ”

Pei Ze nodded, and then led Xiao Yanzhi out.

Looking at the backs of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi leaving hand in hand, a trace of worry appeared in Feng Yuan's eyes.

He has been with Pei Ze for six or seven years, and he can be regarded as witnessing how Pei Ze has changed from an upright teenager to what he is now, especially in recent years, Pei Ze's parents have left one after another, and his uncle, who has always taken good care of him, has become the lord of a country, and the brothers who grew up together have also become a master-servant relationship overnight, and the friends who have fought side by side have also been scattered and sent to all parts of the country because of the emperor's jealousy. If he hadn't been discharged from the army in time because of a leg injury, I am afraid that he would not have been able to stay in Chang'an City.

Seeing that the young man who once vowed to protect his family and defend the country gradually became a taciturn person who did not have expectations for a single qiΔ“, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Pei Ze could meet someone who could help him find his ambition, but he didn't expect that the person Pei Ze finally found was actually the king of Shu and a prince.

Pei Ze's life is really planted in the hands of the royal family, I only hope that this Shu king, who grew up in the people, will not live up to Pei Ze's wishes.

A snowflake hit his face in the wind, Feng Yuan shuddered, closed the door of the shop and turned back to the house.

He doesn't have much business in this shop, and the people who come to cheer are all old acquaintances from the past, and now that he already has a business, then instead of opening the door and being frozen, it is better to make clothes for the King of Shu.

On the other side, Pei Ze led Xiao Yanzhi to walk in the alleys of Chang'an City, fortunately, there was a cloak in the way, but no one could see the hands of the two of them. Kong Qing and Zhang Shaosheng followed behind in a carriage.

"You have a good relationship with him." Xiao Yanzhi raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the snowfall in a good mood, and suddenly spoke without warning.

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment before he realized that the "he" in Xiao Yanzhi's mouth was referring to Feng Yuan.

"Not bad?" Pei Ze smiled, "Ordinary." ”

Was it those ridiculous words that Feng Yuan said that made Xiao Yanzhi care?

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze and said, "I thought you wouldn't tell anyone about what I had to do with you." ”

"If I could, I really wanted to tell the world." Pei Ze looked very regretful, "It's a pity, I can only tell him." ”

If he can tell the world and let people know that Xiao Yanzhi is already a master, then how much less worry can he have.

"Trust him so much?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Ze.

Pei Ze also glanced at Xiao Yan, and then nodded: "En." ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi had nothing to say, Pei Ze asked, "That's all you want to ask?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze a little blankly, "Well, that's all." ”

Should he ask something else?

"Then it's time for me to ask." Pei Ze glanced back, and then asked, "What is your relationship with Zhang Shaosheng?" ”

"Huh?" As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yanzhi was stunned, blinked and looked at Pei Ze, and then turned his head and secretly glanced at Zhang Shaosheng, "I grew up together since childhood, just like you and Xu Lishan." ”

Pei Ze snorted coldly and said, "I didn't think about marrying Xu Lishan. ”

This brainless sentence made Xiao Yanzhi a little unable to react, and only subconsciously replied: "I didn't think about marrying Zhang Shaosheng......"

"You really haven't thought about it?" Pei Zehu looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously.

Xiao Yanzhi said that he knew that he liked men since he was sensible, and according to Xiao Yanzhi's personality, he would only go with the flow, and would never think about changing his own unique place, so in the past 20 years or so, who did he not like?

"No......" shook his head blankly, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly remembered what Xiao Junmeng said on the first day he came to Chang'an, and couldn't help crying and laughing, "How do you remember what Junmeng said?" ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "I have a good memory." ”

Xiao Yanzhi joked: "What? King Wu Cheng is so cautious, would he mind other people's past? ”

Pei Ze clenched Xiao Yanzhi's hand and said, "Other people's past has nothing to do with me, yours, I mind." ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, his cheeks flushed slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's useless if you don't mind, it's all in the past......"

Pei Ze's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "It seems that something has really happened in your past that should make me mind." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yan was startled, turned his head and saw Pei Ze's black face, so he hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not it!" Not a single one! I mean, even if there were, it's all in the past, and you don't have to mind. But there really isn't! ”

"There's nothing unclear about it?" Pei Ze squinted at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi carefully recalled his past life, shook his head and said, "No, no." ”

Probably not, right? In the previous years, he was taking care of his younger siblings wholeheartedly, but I don't remember who he teased...... I don't think so.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi's eyes began to drift, Pei Ze snorted heavily: "What about that Liu Jun?" ”

Xiao Yan cried out in his heart.

How could Pei Ze even remember Liu Jun? Fortunately, they didn't meet in that small town in Jiangnan at that time, otherwise Pei Ze would have remembered more people at this time.

"Liu Jun is just a younger brother." Xiao Yanzhi explained with a smile.

"Brother?" Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, "He is in Bianzhou, you are in Jiangnan, his surname is Liu, your surname is Xiao, brother?" ”

Thinking that this matter was really not explained clearly, Xiao Yanzhi was annoyed and ashamed, and kicked Pei Ze with his legs: "Are you embarrassed to talk about me?" There are no fewer people around you! ”

Pei Ze said confidently: "I don't treat them so well." ”

Who is around him? Besides Xu Lishan, is there anyone else who will let Xiao Yanzhi mind? He is not Xiao Yanzhi's kind of person who is kind to everyone with a smiling face, and he didn't provoke so many bees and butterflies.

"Treat them not so well?" Xiao Yanzhi glared at Pei Ze, "Then it's still good?" ”

Pei Ze suddenly smiled and looked at Xiao Yanzhi: "Compared with you, where do I treat them well?" Now I really have a heart on you, and I can't take care of anything else. ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth: "I know this...... Isn't it all your topic? ”

Pei Ze smiled: "Is it me?" Who asked first? ”

"That'...... Then I'll ask, can't I ask yet? Xiao Yanzhi glared at Pei Ze with a red face.

He didn't ask because he was jealous. Pei Ze's friends he will see in the future, Feng Yuan is in Chang'an City, the number of meetings must not be less, he just wants to know what kind of existence Feng Yuan is to Pei Ze, and then according to Pei Ze's answer, he thinks about how he should treat Feng Yuan, but why did Pei Ze hear that change his taste?

"Yes." Pei Ze smiled, and suddenly raised his hand and touched Xiao Yanzhi's cheek, "My face is red, is it cold or angry?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi also raised his hand and touched his face, only to feel a cold piece under his palm: "It's probably frozen." ”

He wasn't angry.

"Let's get back in the car." Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi and turned around and walked back, "Don't really catch a cold." ”

Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and followed Pei Ze back to the carriage, and as soon as he got into the carriage, Xiao Yanzhi automatically and consciously nestled into Pei Ze's arms.

It's still the warmest place in this place, and it's much easier to use than a hand stove or something!

bought two steamed cakes at the stall at Fangkou and ate them, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi returned to Wucheng Palace, as soon as they entered the door, Pei Ze immediately asked Li An to cook two bowls of ginger soup, and Xiao Yanzhi immediately went to the brazier and squatted down to roast the fire.

Pei Ze's eyebrows frowned, and he reached out and picked up Xiao Yanzhi: "Don't go to the brazier as soon as you come back." ”

He is also not afraid of chilblains.

"But it's cold......" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze pitifully.

Li An immediately said: "The bed is already hot, the prince should go to the bed to warm up, then the ginger soup will be fine for a while, and when it is ready, the subordinates will send it to the prince." ”

Since the beginning of winter, the king of Shu is like this, every time he comes back from outside, he shouts that it is cold, and there is no brazier in the house, and their prince has no choice, so he has to let the king of Shu nest in the warm quilt every day, anyway, there is no need for the king of Shu to do anything.

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yanzhi immediately shook off Pei Ze's hand and ran towards Pei Ze's bedroom with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi's rapidly disappearing back, Pei Ze twitched the corners of his mouth.

He might as well have a futon?

"Was there anything wrong with us when we didn't come back?" Pei Ze retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at Li An.

Li An shook his head and said: "There is nothing to do, this is approaching the end of the year, and people are slacking off, so if you can't do something, you won't do anything." ”

Pei Ze narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Sixteen guards can't slack off. From tomorrow, let Kong Qing go to send some food and drink to the sixteen guards, as a reward for these three or nine days, and by the way, let Kong Qing bring a word, so that the sixteen guards can cheer up, and they must not anger His Majesty at this time. ”

Li An nodded and said, "My subordinates know." ”

Raising his eyes and looking at Pei Ze's side face, Li An asked again: "Lord, it will be the prince's birthday in a few days, how do you plan to spend this year?" ”

Pei Ze thought about it, but replied unexpectedly: "What is the birthday of the King of Shu?" ”

Li An was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he replied, "Probably in the summer, right?" The subordinates remembered that Miss Xiao said it once. ”

"Summer?" Pei Ze frowned, "Do you know the specific day?" ”

Li An shook his head, and then said, "Wait for your subordinates to go down and ask Miss Xiao." ”

Pei Ze nodded.

Li An stared at Pei Ze, and asked hesitantly, "Then ...... your birthday?" ”

"It's as it was in previous years." Pei Ze said without thinking.

After his parents passed away one after another, he didn't like to celebrate his birthday very much, but every year when his birthday came, Xu Lishan and a few close friends would come to Wucheng Wangfu to have a meal with him.

"Yes." Ann hung her head.

I thought that with the King of Shu here, their prince would want to be more lively. Otherwise, when their prince is gone, he will go and ask the king of Shu?

After talking to Li An, Pei Ze strode back to the bedroom, and when Pei Ze entered the door, Xiao Yanzhi was already lying on the bed, and he rolled himself up like a worm with the quilt.

As soon as he saw Pei Ze enter the door, Xiao Yanzhi kicked the quilt with a smile and said, "Come here, it's still the warmest in the quilt in winter." ”

Seeing that one part of the quilt was bulging twice, Pei Ze shook his head and smiled, and said, "You lie down by yourself." ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, frowned and asked, "Do you still have something to do?" ”

As the year approached, the Emperor didn't have much to do.

Pei Ze shook his head: "It's nothing." ”

It's just that he doesn't have the habit of lying in bed during the day.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at Pei Ze, and then said, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep." ”

Hearing this, Pei Zehu looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, thought about it, and walked over, took off his clothes and got into the quilt.

"Sleep."

Lying in Pei Ze's arms, Xiao Yanzhi closed his eyes with satisfaction.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi really wanted to sleep, Pei Ze also closed his eyes, anyway, he couldn't do anything else at this time.

After a while, Pei Ze opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanzhi again: "Aren't you sleepy?" ”

"Really? Did I say that? Xiao Yanzhi opened one eye and looked at Pei Ze with a grin.

"Don't make a fuss." Pei Ze reluctantly pulled out Xiao Yanzhi's hand that was stretched into his underwear.

"But it's cold." Xiao Yanzhi changed his hand again, "You are warm." ”

The corners of Pei Ze's eyes jumped.

Where does Xiao Yanzhi's hand want to keep warm?

"Li An will come over in a moment."

Xiao Yanzhi turned over and pressed on Pei Ze, and said disapprerovitically: "He won't come in again." ”

Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi and didn't speak.

Xiao Yanzhi licked his mouth, attached it to Pei Ze's ear and asked softly, "Really don't take the bait?" ”

Pei Ze's eyes darkened, and he turned over and suppressed Xiao Yanzhi: "You won." ”

Outside the door, Li An listened to the intermittent sound coming from the room, holding two bowls of ginger soup and wanting to cry without tears.

How many times has this been? He is also really stupid, knowing that it is impossible for them to be cold in the king of Shu, and people have more effective heating methods, what did he really do to get two bowls of ginger soup? I even sent it stupidly......

Li An sighed and returned the same way with ginger soup, his face flushed.

In the evening, someone from Jin Wuwei came to look for Pei Ze, Pei Ze hurriedly followed the person, and Xiao Yanzhi, who stayed in the Wucheng Palace, sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, boredly looking at the notebook that Pei Ze left for him when he left.

"Lord Wang, it's time for dinner." Li An knocked on the door and stood honestly at the door without permission.

Xiao Yanzhi replied perfunctorily without even raising his head: "I won't eat it." ”

Li An has actually guessed this result, the King of Shu has been like this for a while, if their prince is not there, then the King of Shu will most likely be able to eat less than one meal, in short, there is no important thing to do is never leave the warm bed.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something to discuss with Lord Wang."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Li An's silhouette on the door in confusion.

"Come in and talk about it."

Li An pushed the door in, but he didn't dare to walk to the bed because he didn't know what kind of dress Xiao Yanzhi was wearing at this time, and only stood behind a small carved screen.

"Lord, in a few days it will be the birthday of our prince."

"Pei Ze's birthday?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Li An who was blocked by the screen suspiciously, on the one hand, he didn't know why Li An was standing so far, and on the other hand, he didn't know why Li An came to ask him, "What did Pei Ze say?" ”

Li An replied: "Our prince only said that it was the same as in previous years, but in previous years, only King Qi and a few other people would come to the palace to celebrate the prince's birthday, so ......"

Xiao Yan is clear.

This means that Pei Ze doesn't like to celebrate his birthday, but Li An wants to help Pei Ze celebrate? But he still couldn't understand why Li An came to ask him.

"It's Pei Ze who celebrates his birthday, and he can do whatever he wants." If you really invite those people in the court to hold a big event, is this a birthday or a party?

Li An looked at Xiao Yanzhi in surprise and asked, "Don't you have any ideas, Lord Wang?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled: "How I want to celebrate his birthday is my business, I won't be with you." ”

The scene of him sitting at the same table with Xu Lishan would not be too pleasant, and he only had a birthday once a year, and he didn't want to mess up.

The surprise on Li An's face was even worse: "Lord Wang, you ...... Do you know what day our prince was born? ”

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled lightly and said, "I know." ”

Pei Ze's birthday is something that even the emperor knows, isn't it easy for him to want to know?

Li An was stunned, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since this is the case, the subordinates will not disturb the prince's rest."

If the King of Shu is prepared, then he doesn't have to worry about it, for their prince, the King of Shu is the most important thing here.

"Yes." Xiao Yanzhi nodded and continued to read.
