39. Chapter 39
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and stepped into the room, but did not close the door: "I mentioned the matter of the second emperor's brother to my father, but my father didn't say anything, I thought that if my father didn't express his position tomorrow morning, I would go to my father again." Did the righteous brother go and tell the second emperor brother about this? ”
"Got it." Pei Ze put down the bamboo slip and looked at Xiao Yanzhi who was wandering around the only round table in the room.
"Did the second emperor brother say anything?" Xiao Yanzhi rubbed on the table and made a pot of tea.
"Didn't say anything." Pei Ze sat up.
What else can be said? I didn't expect to be able to manage the affairs of the household department, Xu Lishan was very happy, but he was a little suspicious of Xiao Yanzhi's intentions. The household department is in charge of money, so in anyone's eyes, it is a treasure of feng shui for gathering wealth, how can Xiao Yanzhi give it to others?
But in his opinion, Xiao Yanzhi was just doing a personal favor, Xiao Yanzhi was probably afraid that only his own entry into power would cause Xu Lishan to be dissatisfied, so he found something for Xu Lishan to do.
But why is it the household department? He thought it was just a coincidence.
It's just that Xiao Yanzhi just entered Honglu Temple, and it happened that Honglu Temple wanted money, so Xiao Yanzhi just discovered that something was wrong in the accounts, and it seemed to be easy for Xiao Yanzhi to steal a fold from the household department and set a trap for Cui Cheng, just like Xu Lishan knew what strategy to use as long as he encountered the enemy on the battlefield.
took care of the corrupt officials, but Xiao Yanzhi was unwilling to take over the "burden" of the household department, so the best choice was to give the household department to Xu Lishan.
After listening to Pei Ze's words, Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze.
Didn't say anything? How could Xu Lishan not say anything? Didn't you dance with excitement? Didn't you suspect him of bad intentions? I'm afraid that I said something bad to tell him, right?
Xiao Yanzhi said again: "The righteous brother told the second emperor brother that this matter must be done for him." ”
After Xiao Yan's eyes, Pei Ze was dissatisfied: "I didn't specifically pass on a message to you. ”
Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, stood at the table with his head down, holding a teapot and didn't know what to do, only wiped the body of the pot with his sleeves, as if the pot was dirty.
Pei Ze got down from the Luohan bed, walked to the table unhurriedly, dragged out a stool and sat down, the sound of the stool was startled by Xiao Yanzhi.
"What are you hanging around the table all the time? Sit down. ”
“…… Oh. Xiao Yanzhi turned to the farthest place from Pei Ze and sat down.
He needs a bit of distance now to add a sense of security.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi specially chose the farthest place from him to sit down, Pei Ze smiled.
Xiao Yanzhi is acting decently outside, why can't he even hide his weakness and embarrassment at this time?
was kissed by Xiao Yanzhi before, although it was not the first time, it still made him a little overwhelmed.
After Xiao Yanzhi left, he stood in place and thought about it for a long time, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was just Xiao Yanzhi's excitement and a momentary out-of-control move, after all, Xiao Yanzhi unexpectedly liked physical contact, and he always leaned on him when he was with him on weekdays.
But it is still not very common for men to kiss men, and there is a precedent for Qin Fengming among the people he knows, so he vaguely feels that there may be other explanations for this matter. Originally, it was just a guess, but at this time, seeing Xiao Yanyi's weak appearance, he could hide from him as far as he could, and he basically confirmed the conjecture in his heart.
Thinking carefully about what happened after he met Xiao Yanzhi, he really recalled a lot of traces to follow, but at that moment, he and they only regarded what Xiao Yanzhi said as an improper joke.
Staring at Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze spoke again: "Your brother and sister have arrived." ”
"Arrived?!" As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yanzhi stood up suddenly, half of his body was lying on the table, and he almost pounced directly on Pei Ze, "Didn't you say that it will only arrive tomorrow?" ”
"Originally," Pei Ze said unhurriedly, "but someone from the mansion just came, saying that they had taken a shortcut and had already arrived." ”
Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze with a bright eye: "Then can I go now?" ”
Seeing Xiao Yanyi's impatient look, Pei Ze shook his head and smiled: "Let's go, I'm here to take you back to the house." ”
Xiao Yanzhi cheered, and was excitedly trying to hug Pei Ze, but everyone rushed behind Pei Ze, but Xiao Yanzhi suddenly paused.
Slowly lowering his arm, Xiao Yanzhi coughed awkwardly.
Be reserved!
Pei Ze smiled and went out first.
It's really interesting to see Xiao Yanzhi's panicked appearance.
Xiao Yanzhi quickly forgot about this embarrassment, followed Pei Ze and ran to the Wucheng Palace, jumped off the horse and rushed into the Wucheng Mansion before Pei Ze, fortunately, it was Li An who was standing at the door of the Wucheng Palace, otherwise he would have to call someone to stop him.
Xiao Yanyi grabbed Li An's arm and asked eagerly, "What about people?" ”
Li An saw a person coming back with Pei Ze from afar, this person rushed to their mansion in a hurry as soon as he got off the horse, and he didn't even care about the rules, and then looked at Pei Ze's indifferent attitude, Li An guessed that this person was the eldest prince who had troubled their prince for a long time, but he didn't expect that the relationship between their prince and this prince was unexpectedly good.
"Don't worry, everyone's in the courtyard."
The younger brothers and sisters of the King of Shu had just arrived, and he was afraid that the prince would bring the King of Shu to come, so he specially asked Kong Qing to take people to wait in the backyard for a while.
But before Li An finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi had already rushed into the Wucheng Palace, and went straight to the backyard.
Looking at Xiao Yanzhi's back as he quickly ran away, Pei Ze shook his head and smiled, and said, "He has been waiting for a long time, let him go." ”
"Yes." Li An turned around and followed Pei Ze into the house.
"Who sent someone to Jiangnan?" Pei Ze asked as he walked towards the backyard.
Li An immediately replied: "Lord Qiqi, there is no trace of the people who have been to Jiangnan to look for the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family, but there are two groups of people who have been following us, one is Qin Fu's people, and the other is ...... The prince forgives the crime, and his subordinates have not yet ascertained the identity of the other party. ”
"Qin Fu?" Pei Ze frowned, "Others are in Henan Province, but they really know what happened in Chang'an City. ”
"The Qin family must have been tipped off by someone."
Pei Ze thought for a while and said, "Since the other party hasn't found out, don't check it." The affairs of the Xiao family's brothers and sisters in the Wucheng Palace, for the time being, cannot be known to anyone. ”
When they go to check on others, they will also leave clues for each other, so don't be found on the head again, then it will be troublesome. Now I would rather not know who the other party is, and I can't let people know where the Xiao family brothers and sisters are. Anyway, everyone is in his house, and it is enough to arrange for people to be protected by life.
"My subordinates understand." Looking at Pei Ze, Li An hesitated, "Lord Wang, should we buy another house for the Xiao family brothers and sisters?" If you stay in our house, you will ...... if you have any extraneous branches."
When they heard Li An's words, Pei Ze and Li An had already walked to the entrance of the backyard of the Wucheng Palace.
In the courtyard, Pei Ze's other right-hand man Kong Qing was guarding aside, Xiao Yanzhi was already sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard, Xiao Yanzhi was sitting on his lap with his sister Xiao Junmeng, and his two younger brothers Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng were also standing beside him.
The two boys were fine, but their eyes were slightly red, and they stood beside Xiao Yanzhi very attachment, but Xiao Junmeng had already fallen into Xiao Yanzhi's arms and cried.
This is the first time Pei Ze has seen Xiao Yanzhi's eyebrows and smile, and it is also the first time Pei Ze has seen Xiao Yanzhi crying, and the appearance of crying and laughing made Pei Ze's heart feel a little distressed and remorseful.
If he hadn't insisted on taking Xiao Yanzhi back to Beijing, Xiao Yanzhi would still be living his little life in that quiet town in the south of the Yangtze River, right? But now that Xiao Yanzhi has fallen into the court and it is difficult to get out, even his younger siblings have come to Chang'an, and I don't know what will happen in the days to come......
Pei Ze sighed and said, "No need, the Xiao family brothers and sisters will stay in the Wucheng Palace, and let Kong Qing bring a few people to be responsible for protecting their safety." In addition, find someone to secretly transfer their household registration as well. ”
Pei Ze then remembered that Xiao Yanzhi had lived in the palace for so long, and the position of the king of Shu was secured, but his household registration was still in Jiangnan.
Hearing this, Li An looked at Xiao Yanzhi, who was laughing with his younger siblings, and said, "Back to the prince's words, there are four of them...... There was no household registration in the first place. ”
Li An really couldn't understand, Xiao Yanzhi's four brothers and sisters didn't even have a household registration, what means did Xiao Yanzhi use to gain a foothold in that town? Not only were they not sold as slaves, but they also opened shops and lived freely, which is amazing.
"No?" Pei Ze raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled, "Then they will fall directly on my household registration." ”
"Huh?" Li An looked at Pei Ze in amazement, "Lord Wang, it falls on your household registration...... How are you going to fall? The subordinates thought that if the prince wanted to protect them, it would be more appropriate to integrate them into subordinates or subordinate officials. ”
Does the prince really plan to be responsible to the end?
Pei Ze tilted his head and stared at Li An, and asked with a smile: "You want to incorporate the King of Shu into the ranks of the subordinate officials of the Wucheng Palace?" ”
"Huh?" Li An looked at Pei Ze with wide eyes, "Also, do you want to put the King of Shu on your household registration?" W-This isn't appropriate, is it? Shouldn't the King of Shu fall into His Majesty's household registration? ”
The Pei family is now the only one left in their royal family, and the household registration is really deserted, but just because of this, just anyone will fall into their household registration! The king of Shu is temporarily surnamed Xiao, but he is actually surnamed Xu Li! What do you want to do by leaving a prince on the Pei family's household registration?
Pei Ze said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty will probably not be able to remember the household registration of the King of Shu for a while, so let's do it for the time being, and wait for Your Majesty to remember it." ”
Looking at Pei Ze's serious look, Li An didn't know how to refute.
Your Majesty can't remember, Lord Wang, why don't you remind me if you remember it so clearly? Why do you have to go to your own household registration!
"So, in what capacity are they going to be naturalized?"
Pei Ze thought about it, but felt that any identity was not suitable, so he simply left this problem to Li An: "You can use whatever identity you see is suitable." Today's dinner, make a good table. ”
As soon as the words fell, Pei Ze strode in the direction of Xiao Yan's four brothers and sisters.
Seeing Pei Ze approaching, Xiao Yanzhi put down Xiao Junmeng, stood up, and bowed to Pei Ze respectfully.
"Thank you, brother, I have made a note of this favor."
"Yes." Pei Ze nodded, "Let's just stay in the mansion for the time being." ”
Without waiting for Xiao Yanzhi to speak, Xiao Ren'an bowed to Pei Ze and said, "Thank you King Wucheng for your kindness, it's just that the prince can arrange someone to protect my brother and sister into Beijing, and the grass people are already very grateful, and they don't dare to trouble the prince again." Our brothers and sisters also have some money in their hands, and they think it will be enough to buy a small house in Chang'an City. ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi rubbed Xiao Ren'an's head fiercely, and then said with a smile: "You still have some money in your hand, and you are embarrassed to be embarrassed in front of King Wucheng for that little money?" That money is what I left for you to marry your wife, brother, don't spend it for me casually! ”
Xiao Junmeng sneered and said, "Brother, you marry yourself first and then worry about us!" You've been talking about getting married for years, but you still haven't settled down. At the beginning, I asked you to tie up Brother Shaosheng, but you asked someone to run away and let you marry Brother Liu Jun, you still think he is like a girl, and this time he ran away from home and said that he was going to travel all over the world to find a husband's family, what about the husband's family? Don't say that you settled in Chang'an to marry King Wucheng, people don't want you, don't you! ”
Before Xiao Junmeng finished speaking, he was covered by Xiao Yanzhi, staring at him and not knowing what was happening.
Xiao Yanzhi covered Xiao Junmeng's mouth, and he also stared at his eyes with a look of horror.
Xiao Ren'an held his forehead, and Xiao Xiangsheng leaned on Xiao Ren'an's shoulder and laughed so much that he was about to lose his breath.
Pei Ze was also stunned, then looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a smile and asked, "You came to Chang'an to find a ...... Husband's family? ”
How did Xiao Yanzhi educate his younger siblings? Why do you feel like he has the same temperament?
Li An was frightened by Xiao Junmeng's words, and smiled awkwardly at this time: "Miss Xiao's words are really interesting, the king of Shu will either marry a wife or become a wife, but it can't be said to be married." ”
Xiao Junmeng's eyes widened, he looked up at Xiao Yanzhi in a panic, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, they don't know?" ”
Xiao Junmeng thought that he was speaking quietly enough, but everyone standing here had sharp ears, and he could hear it clearly without landing a word.
Xiao Yanzhi shook his head, so annoyed that he couldn't say a word.
In order to make Ringan accept the fact that he only likes men, he instilled this concept in them since he was a child, Ringan and Xiangsheng just heard about it, and didn't take it too seriously, but they just knew that their brother was different from someone else's brother, and he wouldn't marry a sister-in-law for them in the future, but this didn't affect them, the elder brother is still the elder brother, and the elder brother likes men just as they like to eat snacks, which is a personal hobby.
But Jun Meng didn't know why he always thought about this, knowing that he liked a man, he would find him a husband in three days, at first he felt that he had a good relationship with Zhang Shaosheng, so he should marry Zhang Shaosheng, and later felt that Liu Jun was close to him, Jun Meng set Liu Jun as a target, and when he was twenty years old, Jun Meng was even more like a little old woman urging him to marry all day long.
Probably because he always talks about these things unscrupulously when he is at home, Ren'an and the others have begun to think that it is actually normal for men to like men, although they don't spread it around, they don't shy away from talking to people, especially when they talk to him about it, it is even more unscrupulous.
Seeing that Xiao Yan didn't refute, Li An was shocked, and then looked at the strange smile on Pei Ze's face, Li An was dumbfounded.
Do they know? Their prince actually knows?!
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi's face was flushed with embarrassment, Pei Ze smiled and instructed Li An: "Li An, you take them to the guest room to settle down first,"
Li An nodded blankly, and then led the Xiao family brothers and sisters to the guest room.
Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng were not too worried about Xiao Yanzhi, so they followed behind Li An with their burdens, but Xiao Junmeng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he tightly pulled Xiao Yanzhi's sleeve and refused to leave.
Xiao Yanzhi touched Xiao Junmeng's head, and said with a gentle smile: "Go with the second brother, my brother will go to you later, huh?" ”
"Brother......" Xiao Junmeng still tugged at Xiao Yanzhi's sleeve, turned his head and glanced at Pei Ze quite jealously.
Xiao Yanzhi chuckled lightly and said, "My brother has a good relationship with King Wucheng, so don't worry." Tell Li An what you want and what you want to eat. Go ahead. ”
When the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi turned sideways and gently pushed Xiao Junmeng to Xiao Ren'an's side.
Xiao Ren'an immediately grabbed Xiao Junmeng's arm, nodded at Xiao Yanzhi, and led Xiao Junmeng, who turned back three times in one step, to the guest room.
When only Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi were left in the courtyard, Pei Ze teased: "Why didn't I know that you still had the heart to choose a husband in Chang'an?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, looked at Pei Ze and said, "Seeing that the righteous brother is not too surprised, it seems that he has already guessed it?" ”
Pei Ze lifted his clothes and sat on the stone bench, and replied: "I also think I should have found out a long time ago, but unfortunately, I only guessed it today, thanks to someone's ...... Impulse? ”
Sitting down opposite Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the expression on Pei Ze's face extremely seriously, but he was very confused by the faint smile on Pei Ze's face.
Pei Ze smiled...... What is the meaning? I don't usually see his smile, so why can't he stop laughing now?
"Anyway...... It's just that, and I don't want to hide it, but if you don't say it, everyone will have less trouble. ”
"You are calm," Pei Ze chuckled, "If Your Majesty knows, he will not spare you." ”
Xiao Yanzhi shrugged his shoulders and said, "What can he do if he doesn't spare me?" This is not something that can be solved by his next decree. ”
It doesn't matter what the emperor does, the key is what Pei Ze thinks? Pei Ze's feelings are almost truthfully written on his face, why can't people understand them at this time? Did Pei Ze forget what he said, or didn't he remember it? What the hell is he laughing at?
Sensing Xiao Yanzhi's fierce look at his face, Pei Ze felt very interesting.
As soon as his heart moved, Pei Ze turned to a topic and said: "Before your Shu Palace, let them live in the Wucheng Palace, and with Li An and Kong Qing to take care of them, you can rest assured." ”
Xiao Yanzhi blinked, looked at Pei Ze suspiciously, and asked, "If people know that they live in the Wucheng Palace, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to the righteous brother, right?" And if they're here, I'm going to have to go in and out of the Wucheng Palace, which doesn't seem appropriate, right? ”
"What's wrong?" Pei Ze smiled secretly in his heart, "I go in and out of the Wanchun Hall every night, and I haven't heard you say a word wrong." For the time being, no one knows that they entered Beijing, and no one knows that they lived in the Wucheng Palace, as long as you don't show your feet, there is nothing wrong with it. ”
When the words fell, Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi, who was a little anxious because he couldn't figure out the situation, smiled, got up calmly, turned around in a chic manner, and went to the study in a leisurely manner.
Before that, he was only teased by Xiao Yanzhi, and now he finally has a chance to fight back...... Xiao Yanzhi likes him, En...... Is it love at first sight or a long-lasting relationship?
Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze's back, still unable to understand.
What does Pei Ze mean by this?
At dinner, Xiao Yanzhi put Pei Ze's question aside for the time being, and his heart was only on his younger siblings. Xiao Yanzhi, who is beside his younger siblings, is more gentle and considerate than usual, especially for Xiao Junmeng, which is really impeccable, it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiao Yanzhi holds Xiao Junmeng in the palm of his hand as if he is a baby, and Pei Ze secretly surprises himself.
He really has never seen anyone have a good relationship with siblings like this.
After dinner, Pei Ze gave up his yard to Xiao Yanzhi's four brothers and sisters, but he went to stay in the study, but opened the window of the study, as long as he looked up, he could see the four brothers and sisters talking and laughing in the yard.
Li An entered the door to bring tea to Pei Ze, and saw Pei Ze holding a book in his hand, but his eyes always drifted out of the window, Li An suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Lord Wang, how do you want to talk to Your Majesty about the good male style of the King of Shu?"
Hearing this, Pei Ze turned his head, looked at Li An and asked, "Why do you want to talk to Your Majesty?" ”
Li An frowned and worried: "Lord, the king of Shu is the eldest son of the emperor, as long as His Majesty does not establish a new queen one day, the king of Shu is the only concubine of His Majesty, and he has the responsibility of opening up branches and leaves for the royal family." ”
Pei Ze pondered for a moment, and then asked Li An, "What kind of person do you think he is?" ”
Hearing this, Li An turned his head to look out the window, stared at Xiao Yanzhi for a while before replying: "Back to the prince, my subordinates have not had a deep relationship with the king of Shu, but what I saw today, my subordinates feel that the king of Shu is a free and easy person, and he is also an unrestrained person. ”
Pei Ze smiled softly and said, "You said that he is unrestrained, and the so-called responsibility can be used by him?" ”
"Lord Wang, do you ...... the King of Shu?" Their prince would never do anything deviant!
Pei Ze lowered his eyes, and after a while, he raised his eyes to look at Li An, revealing an indifferent but determined smile.
Does he like Xiao Yanzhi? He can't say anything about it himself. He has been overly concerned about Xiao Yanzhi from the beginning, and after more than a month, this care has become a habit at some point.
He began to get used to sleeping with Xiao Yanzhi at night, Xiao Yanzhi was not there, he couldn't sleep steadily. He began to get used to Xiao Yanzhi's taste, and even the tea leaves in the Daji Hall were changed from West Lake Longjing to Yingshan Yunmist. He began to get used to Xiao Yanzhi's intimate contact, and if he distanced himself, he felt uncomfortable...... He and Xu Lishan grew up together and didn't develop such a habit, and now they have only known Xiao Yanzhi for more than a month, which probably proves that he treats Xiao Yanzhi a little differently.
Does he like Xiao Yanzhi? He still couldn't say anything about this, but it was not so easy for him to leave Xiao Yanzhi's side, not to mention that he had no intention of leaving, even if he knew that Xiao Yanzhi was interested in him, he never thought of being even a little distant from Xiao Yanzhi.
In that case, why go against your will?
Li An became anxious when he saw Pei Ze's smile, and said, "Lord Wang, you are also the only bloodline of the Pei family!" ”
Pei Ze's face sank, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Li An, fortunately, the Pei family is the only one left."
If there was even one more person, the emperor would not be able to allow him to have today's status, and the military power would not be placed in his hands.
Hearing Pei Ze's words, Li An's heart also sank, but he still spoke: "Although Your Majesty is suspicious, you can ...... But this is not necessarily the case with successors. ”
Pei Ze shook his head with a smile and said: "Li An, you believe me, as long as it is not the successor of the King of Shu, it is the same, I can continue the bloodline of the Pei family, but I can't ensure their stability for a lifetime, I only have two choices, either I cut off the bloodline of the Pei family with my own hands, or I just wait for the emperor to cut off the bloodline of the Pei family." As long as the surname Xu Li is still in the world, the Pei family can only end here. ”
If he hadn't taken this into account, why would he have delayed marrying and having children a long time ago? If it weren't for this, how could the emperor ignore him when he was seven out of twenty? As the emperor's righteous son, his wife's family can also be used by the emperor.
"How does the prince know that the king of Shu will definitely not inherit the unification?"
Pei Ze sneered and said, "If he ascends the throne as emperor, I will marry a wife and have children, how about it?" ”
Li An was silent.
It was the most outrageous promise he'd ever heard......
As the night got darker, Xiao Yanzhi accompanied Xiao Junmeng to the guest room, Xiao Ren'an and Xiao Xiangsheng muttered shoulder to shoulder in the courtyard for a while, Xiao Xiangsheng ran away, Xiao Ren'an hesitated, and then turned his feet and walked towards Pei Ze's study.
"Lord Wang, is it convenient to disturb?" I don't know if I should knock on the door, Xiao Ren'an went to the window first and asked, anyway, the window was open, and he believed that Pei Ze had noticed him.
"Come in."
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Xiao Ren'an turned to the door, pushed the door in, closed the window with his backhand after entering the door, and saluted Pei Ze before he spoke, "I heard my brother say, the prince plans to take in our brother and sister?" ”
Pei Ze nodded and said, "With Li An and Kong Qing taking care of you, your brother can rest assured." ”
"Brother, he ......" Xiao Ren'an hesitated for a moment before asking, "Brother, what does he do as a prince?" Are you the same as the prince? ”
He only heard Li Changshi call his brother the prince, but he didn't know what kind of prince it was, and it was estimated that he wouldn't tell the truth if he asked his brother, so it was better to ask King Wucheng.
But Pei Ze didn't know how to answer Xiao Ren'an's question. Xiao Yanzhi's relationship with the Xiao family is really a little delicate, and Pei Ze doesn't know if his answer will hurt Xiao Ren'an's heart.
Seeing Pei Ze's hesitation, Xiao Ren'an frowned and thought for a while, and then asked: "Seeing that the prince is embarrassed, that brother should be different from the prince...... My brother is a prince? ”
"You can guess." Xiao Yanzhi's younger brother is smart and transparent.
Xiao Ren'an touched his nose and said: "There are only two kinds of princes in the Tang Kingdom, one is the prince, and the other is a meritorious person like King Wucheng, brother, he ...... Cough...... He is a splash at best, if it weren't for his background, how could an emperor let him be a prince? ”
Splashing ...... Pei Ze smiled secretly.
If Xiao Yanzhi knew that his brother was commenting on him like this, I don't know how he would feel.
Pei Ze nodded and said, "You guessed right, your brother is the eldest son of the current emperor, and his biological mother is the wife of His Majesty, that is, the queen." ”
Although he had already guessed, when he heard the firm answer from Pei Ze's mouth, Xiao Ren'an was still stunned.
Can their family still have a prince?! How much virtue has been accumulated by the ancestors......
Pei Ze looked at Xiao Ren'an quietly, waiting for Xiao Ren'an to sort out this matter.
After a long time, Xiao Ren'an suddenly frowned and asked Pei Zedao: "Then the prince thinks that the three of us brothers and sisters should stay in Chang'an City?" Are we causing trouble for our brother? ”
There was a sudden sound behind him, Pei Ze glanced back, and then replied to Xiao Ren'an: "You have to be in Chang'an, he can see that you are well, so that he can do things with peace of mind." ”
Xiao Ren'an thought for a while, and smiled helplessly: "Then we still make trouble for my brother." That...... What does the prince think about men liking men? ”
Pei Ze glanced back again, feeling funny in his heart.
Are the Xiao family brothers and sisters such bold and outspoken people? Xiao Yanzhi really taught his younger brothers and sisters to look like him.
Pei Ze didn't answer and asked, "What do you want me to think?" ”
Xiao Ren'an was asked.
What does he want King Wu Cheng to think? He actually didn't have any hope, but when he saw his brother talking about King Wu Cheng, his eyes were a little different, so he came to probe the tone, if King Wu Cheng had no intention, then they could still pay attention to whether there was a suitable person in other families for his brother.
Just when Xiao Ren'an didn't know what to do, Xiao Yanzhi's voice suddenly came from the courtyard.
"Ren'an, where are you?"
Xiao Ren'an was excited, hurriedly said goodbye to Pei Ze and hurriedly ran out.
"Brother, I'm here."
"What are you wandering around without sleeping?"
"Right away!"
Seeing Xiao Ren'an run away without a shadow, Xiao Yanzhi paced to Pei Ze's window, scratched the corners of his mouth, and said, "Don't pay attention to him." ”
Pei Ze chuckled lightly and teased, "Aren't you still behind the house?" Which way did you go so fast to run to the front? ”
Xiao Yanzhi looked at the sky in embarrassment and said, "The legs run fast." ”
Pei Ze got up and walked to the window: "Your sister is asleep?" ”
"Well," Xiao Yanzhi nodded, "I was probably tired from the journey, and I cried again when I saw me, and I fell asleep next to the pillow." ”
"And what are you here for?" Pei Ze leaned over on the windowsill and looked at Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi also leaned sideways against the window, looked at Pei Ze and said with a smile: "Come and sleep with my brother-in-law." ”
Pei Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Don't feel at ease around your sister? ”
He also thought that by the side of the Xiao family's brothers and sisters, Xiao Yan would be able to sleep.
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "Originally, I could have fallen asleep, but I don't know if it was because of the change of place, so I couldn't sleep." ”
There is a man he likes here, and this man does not reject him, why does he run to sleep with his sister? Although I still can't understand Pei Ze's attitude, Pei Ze doesn't reject it, it's obvious, in this case, maybe this man will be able to accept him after a few more days? They've all slept together for so long anyway.
Pei Ze thought for a while and said, "Sleep with me, you have to get up early tomorrow morning." ”
Xiao Yanzhi shrugged his shoulders and replied: "It's all this time, the fang gate and the palace gate are closed, if I go back to the palace, I will alarm half of Chang'an City." ”
"That's right." Pei Ze nodded, "Wait for me." ”
As soon as the words fell, Pei Ze closed the window, then turned around and went back to the house to turn off the lights, and walked out of the study after a while.
"Let's go."
"Yes." Xiao Yanzhi followed behind Pei Ze with a smile.
In the backlight of the courtyard, Xiao Xiangsheng was squatting on the ground and peeking, watching Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze leave side by side with a smile, Xiao Xiangsheng secretly followed and followed until Pei Ze's door.
Xiao Xiangsheng pulled a grass from the side and put it in his mouth, looking at Pei Ze's door thoughtfully.
My brother has abducted people back to their rooms, are they worrying too much? But can the prince and the prince be together? Aren't the prince and the prince brothers? Oh! Yes, I heard that King Wucheng was the emperor's son. But I didn't expect their brother to be a prince, tsk, how can there be a prince like my brother who has no extravagance and only a ruffian? Parent-child and righteous son...... Kindness...... Then there should be no problem, right?
Scratching his head, Xiao Xiangsheng secretly left again.
After failing to sleep until dawn, Pei Ze woke up, turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, who was still sleeping, Pei Ze looked helpless.
Does Xiao Yanzhi really like him? He just realized this matter and couldn't sleep, since Xiao Yanzhi liked him, how could he sleep so peacefully next to him? Lack of eyes?
Suddenly hearing something outside the door, Pei Ze got up, put on a piece of clothing and went out lightly.
Pushing open the door, Pei Ze didn't see anything, and when he turned his head again, he happened to meet Xiao Junmeng's pair of big shining eyes.
"Lord, are you awake?" Xiao Junmeng smiled, and his appearance was very similar to Xiao Yanzhi.
Pei Ze's eyebrows jumped, and he asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" Isn't it cold? ”
What are you doing crouching at his door early in the morning?
Pei Ze took off the clothes he was wearing and draped them on Xiao Junmeng.
Xiao Junmeng sniffed and asked with a smile, "My brother is inside?" ”
Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Xiao Junmeng sniffed again and asked, "Is the prince planning to marry my brother?" ”
Pei Ze was stunned again, and then asked funny: "Why do you ask that?" ”
Xiao Junmeng looked up at Pei Ze and said, "You slept with my brother, don't you marry him?" ”
Hearing this, Pei Ze was slightly embarrassed.
Did he sleep with Xiao Yanzhi or not?
"Xiao Junmeng!" Xiao Yanzhi slammed open the window, stared at Xiao Junmeng, who was squatting by the wall, and shouted, "Believe it or not, I beat you?!" ”
As soon as he heard Xiao Yanzhi's voice, Xiao Junmeng immediately bounced up like a rabbit and ran away.
Xiao Yanzhi held his forehead, his face flushed.
He taught his younger siblings like this so that they could not be bullied by outsiders, but not for them to bully him!
Pei Ze looked at it and found it funny, and teased: "Do you want me to marry you?" Your brother and sister seem to be quite happy with me. ”
Yesterday, Xiao Ren'an first talked to him, and then a Xiao Xiangsheng followed him all the way to the door of the room, and Xiao Junmeng came to his door before dawn, and the Xiao brothers and sisters really didn't know to be afraid. How did Xiao Yanzhi teach them?
Xiao Yanzhi glared at Pei Ze with a red face, gritted his teeth and said, "No need!" ”
There is no sincerity at all, so he won't marry!
Pei Ze smiled: "You look like this, it's really hard to see, it's really a thing descending from a thing." ”
Xiao Yanzhi's face turned even redder.
Originally, I wanted to catch these three educations, but when I saw Xiao Junmeng coming out with two bowls of noodles at breakfast, Xiao Yanzhi didn't have any heart to preach.
"Brother," Xiao Junmeng came out alone with two bowls of noodles, how sweet and sweet this brother shouted, "I got up early and got down the noodles, brother has you tried to see if my skills have improved?" ”
Seeing two bowls of noodles on the wooden plate that Xiao Junmeng was carrying, Xiao Yanzhi immediately got up and took it: "Why are you alone?" What about Ringan and Shosheng? ”
Xiao Junmeng sat down beside Xiao Yanzhi and said with a sweet smile: "Brothers, I can't say that I live in Wucheng Palace, and I will find something to do when I get up in the morning." ”
As soon as he heard this, Pei Ze frowned and looked at Li An.
Li An immediately said in a panic: "My subordinates will go and take a look." ”
He hadn't heard of it! That's the younger brother of the King of Shu, how dare they let them do things?
Xiao Yanzhi said disapprerovitously: "If there is anything they can do, let them do it, they are used to it, and it will not get in the way." ”
Putting a bowl of noodles in front of Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhicai sat down again.
Pei Ze looked at the bowl of somen noodles in front of him, picked a chopstick and took a bite, and felt that the taste was really not much different from what the chef in his Wucheng Mansion made, although he originally thought that the chef in his mansion should make it more delicious.
"Brother, is it delicious?" Xiao Junmeng asked, tilting his head.
Xiao Yanzhi swallowed a mouthful of noodles and said with a smile: "It's delicious, it's better than the imperial chef in the palace." ”
Last night, Xiao Yanzhi told his younger siblings about his current situation.
Hearing this, Xiao Junmeng smiled even brighter.
"Brother, are you going to go out after a while?"
Xiao Yanzhi ate the noodles and nodded.
Xiao Junmeng pursed his lips and asked, "When will that brother come back?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi paused, and then asked with a smile, "What?" Want to hang out? ”
Xiao Junmeng shook his head, pulled Xiao Yanzhi's sleeve, and pouted: "I only talked to my brother for a while last night and then fell asleep, and I still haven't finished speaking." ”
Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and touched Xiao Junmeng's head, and said, "Okay, I must come to see you sooner." ”
Xiao Junmeng raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanzhi: "How early is it?" ”
"En......" Xiao Yanzhi thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "Is it okay to come back before lunch?" ”
"Good!" Xiao Junmeng immediately smiled and bent his eyes, "Then I'll go find the second brother and the third brother." ”
"Yes, go ahead." Xiao Yanzhi patted Xiao Junmeng's head again.
After Xiao Junmeng left, Pei Zecai asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Honglu Temple has nothing to do today?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Yanzhi devoured the bowl of noodles.
"Can you come back before lunch?"
“…… Yes. "His sister has spoken, she can't do it, she has to be able to!
On this day, Xiao Yanzhi was thinking about the affairs of Honglu Temple from the moment he left the Wucheng Palace, and he was absent-minded when he asked the emperor for peace, and even the early dynasty was just sitting on the ground and filling up the number of people, and the emperor angrily punished Zhang He and a few people, and Xu Lishan was allowed to enter the household to study, but the matter could not attract Xiao Yanzhi's attention.
As soon as Zhao Kang shouted to go down, Xiao Yanzhi immediately rushed out like a gust of wind, his legs and feet were so neat that the emperor thought he was in trouble.
Pei Ze knew that Xiao Yanzhi was in a hurry to go to the Wucheng Palace, so he found an excuse for Xiao Yanzhi.
The emperor didn't know if he was really blindsided, or he didn't bother to care about Xiao Yanzhi's affairs, so he only told Pei Ze to take care of Xiao Yanzhi, and led Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian to the imperial study.
Pei Ze, who didn't have to go to the imperial study, immediately went to Honglu Temple, witnessed what ability and efficiency are within an hour, and then was dragged back to Wucheng Wangfu by Xiao Yanzhi. The two finally appeared in front of Xiao Junmeng at noon.
Seeing Xiao Yanzhi fade away from his resolute domineering spirit and instantly turn into a gentle brother, Pei Ze finally knew how important his younger brother and sister were to Xiao Yanzhi.
Since entering the palace, Xiao Yanzhi has been using his immodesty to cover up his truth, and he did not hesitate to give up all his disguises to expose his true talent today, but it was just for Xiao Junmeng's request......
Pei Ze couldn't help but be curious, if it was for him, what kind of Cheng would Xiao Yanzhi do?
