Early in the morning, Xiao Yanzhi was woken up by the sound of birdsong outside the window, opened his eyes and was stunned for a while, before he took away Pei Ze's arm around his waist, lifted the quilt and turned around to get out of bed.

Changing into plain clothes, Xiao Yanzhi climbed on the bed and kissed the corner of Pei Ze's lips, and then walked out of the room to the courtyard.

This is a simple farmhouse courtyard, built not far from the west of the imperial mausoleum, with two wooden houses and a well dug only three years ago, the larger wooden house is used as a bedroom and study, and the smaller one is a kitchen, in addition to the stove and chopping board, there is also a small square table and two wooden chairs placed opposite each other.

Xiao Yanzhi originally wanted to raise some livestock in this yard, or plant something in the surrounding open space, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was too troublesome, they would only stay here for three years, and there were only two of them, so it was really hard to be self-sufficient, so he gave up this opportunity to experience the hard work of farmers, and the daily needs of the two of them were regularly sent by Li An from Chang'an.

After washing with water from the well, and after drying his face, he caught a glimpse of a sparrow standing on the fence, Xiao Yanzhi smiled, ignored the sparrow, and turned around and went to the kitchen.

In the past three years, the two of them have been reduced from the original three meals a day to two meals a day, and each meal is cooked by Xiao Yanzhi himself. Xiao Yanzhi also thought about teaching Pei Ze that it was always easier for the two of them to take turns, but after trying to stop vomiting a few times, Xiao Yanzhi would never allow Pei Ze to enter the kitchen again. Pei Ze really didn't have the talent for this, and in the end he only learned the skills of picking vegetables and washing vegetables.

Washing rice and picking vegetables, Xiao Yanzhi did it very easily, the breakfast for two people has always been simple, and after a while, aroma wafted out of the kitchen.

Pei Ze, who woke up later than Xiao Yanzhi, smelled the smell of breakfast as soon as he opened his eyes, and sat on the bed looking in the direction of the kitchen, Pei Ze's face unconsciously showed a smile.

turned around and got out of bed, also changed into plain clothes, and made the bed again, Pei Ze went to the yard to wash.

The sparrows on the fence turned into two at some point, chattering for a long time, and when Pei Ze turned around to go to the kitchen, they suddenly flapped their wings and flew away.

Pei Ze turned his head to look at the two sparrows, and then stepped into the kitchen.

Leaning on the door and looking at Xiao Yanzhi's busy back, Pei Ze felt that such a day was called happiness.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at Pei Ze, smiling like a spring breeze: "Awake?" ”

"Yes." Pei Ze raised his foot and walked behind Xiao Yanzhi to hug the person, and tilted his head to kiss Xiao Yanzhi on the cheek.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, then took a spoonful of porridge, blew it cold and sent it to Pei Ze's mouth: "Taste?" ”

Pei Ze took a sip, smacked his lips and said, "Salty." ”

"Salty?" Xiao Yanzhi tasted it again and felt that it was okay.

"It's done."

"Oh." Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and then slapped Pei Ze's thigh with his backhand, "You get out of the way." ”

Pei Ze let go and took two steps back.

Xiao Yanzhi put the porridge into the bowl, and then handed the two bowls of porridge to Pei Ze. Pei Ze took it as usual, then turned around and walked to the table, put the two bowls of porridge on both sides, and waited for Xiao Yanzhi to come over with the dishes, and then sat down with Xiao Yanyi one after the other.

While eating, Pei Ze suddenly said, "Li An and Sister Chunyue will come today." ”

"Today? Why? Xiao Yan was puzzled.

The three-year deadline has arrived, and today is the last day they will stay here, what are Li An and Sister Chunyue doing here?

Pei Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan, and then said, "Come and send something." ”

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Pei Ze suspiciously, and asked, "What are you thinking about behind my back?" ”

"It's not a big deal," Pei Ze put a chopstick and green vegetables into Xiao Yanzhi's bowl, "Eat quickly, it's going to be cold." ”

"Can you be more clever at changing the subject?" Glancing at Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhi ate the chopsticks and vegetables, rolled his eyes and thought about it, Xiao Yanzhi said again, "Don't go back to Chang'an tomorrow?" ”

Pei Ze will hide from him, probably only this one, because he is worried that Pei Ze is still holding the title of King Wucheng, and it is not good to never go back, so he wants to go back to Chang'an for a while, but Pei Ze doesn't know why he just doesn't want to go back to Chang'an.

Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi and smiled silently, but this smile made Xiao Yanzhi understand that he had guessed correctly.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "That's it, anyway, I'm just a commoner now, you are a big official, you have what you say." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze chuckled.

To say this is that Xiao Yanzhi feels that no matter what, otherwise, if Xiao Yanzhi really has an idea, it will be difficult to be persuaded to make concessions.

After breakfast, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi took a few tools to the imperial tomb.

Although the first emperor was buried in the underground palace, a tombstone was also erected on the ground, and for the past three years, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze had to go every morning.

When he came to the tombstone, Xiao Yanzhi took out a cloth towel and dusted off the tombstone, while Pei Ze cleaned up the weeds around the tombstone.

Leaning next to the tombstone, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "Father, I won't come to see you every day after today, if you miss us, go to the palace by yourself." ”

Pei Ze turned his head and glared at Xiao Yanzhi: "What nonsense? ”

Xiao Yanzhi is looking forward to the haunting of the palace? Although they don't have to live in the palace anymore, if something happens in the palace, please do the two of them?

Xiao Yanzhi shrugged, and then said to Pei Ze: "I want to eat fish tonight." ”

Pei Ze said without thinking: "I'll go to the river later." ”

The river is a small river on the west side, separated from the two people's residence by a forest, although not far, but not close, the two occasionally go back to catch fish to eat, when they are bored to the extreme, they also use the river to fish, and there are also times when they simply walk there to see the scenery and return.

So the two people who had finished sweeping the tomb returned to the small courtyard, changed their equipment, and went to the small river in the west.

Carrying a harpoon made of wood, Pei Ze took Xiao Yanzhi's hand and walked towards the river without hurrying. The road in the forest is not very easy to walk, but for the two of them, it is already a place where they know where there are potholes with their eyes closed, and there is nothing to worry about.

When he arrived at the river, Pei Ze left Xiao Yanzhi in the shade by the river and went into the water to catch fish by himself.

In the hot summer, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't stay, especially looking at Pei Ze's appearance of being wet with water, Xiao Yanzhi felt that it was very hot, so he only sat in the shade of the tree for a while, and then rubbed to the river when Pei Ze was not paying attention, sat on a dry big stone, took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet into the cool river water with a comfortable face.

However, it didn't take long for him to be discovered by Pei Ze.

habitually turned his head to check whether Xiao Yanzhi was okay, but found that there was no Xiao Yanzhi's figure under the shade of the tree, and when he turned his head again, he saw Xiao Yanzhi sitting on a big stone by the river, his feet soaked in the water, and he looked very comfortable. ”

Xiao Yan was startled, and the comfort on his face instantly turned into a sneer, and said, "It's okay, it's hot this day, and the water is not cold at all." ”

Although the injury on his leg was completely healed, it was probably because he tossed once in the middle, so in the autumn of that year, Xiao Yanzhi found that he couldn't get cold in the place where he was injured, otherwise the place where the bone had been broken would be a faint pain, and the pain would not be unbearable, but it was indeed uncomfortable to keep hurting.

The doctor from Yan Sheng's family came to see it once, but he also said that there was no way, so he could only pay attention to himself. Since then, Pei Ze has been paying attention to him all the time, and he is simply overprotective of his leg.

Pei Ze was silent, only staring at Xiao Yanzhi with a calm face.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, collected the injured leg from the water, and stepped on the edge of the stone to dry.

Pei Ze continued to spearfish with satisfaction.

When he forked a fish, Pei Ze turned around and walked to Xiao Yanzhi's side, stopped in front of Xiao Yanzhi, and then pulled the fish off the harpoon and threw it into the bamboo basket in Xiao Yanzhi's arms.

"Good work." Xiao Yanzhi smiled and kissed Pei Ze on the forehead.

Pei Ze raised his head and kissed back at the corner of Xiao Yanzhi's mouth.

Staring at Pei Ze's inchless upper body, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly reached out and touched Pei Ze's chest.

"Your body is much stronger than when you were in Chang'an."

Hearing this, Pei Ze smiled: "You like this?" ”

Do you still think that Xiao Yanyi's face is about to say something, but it turns out that he just wants to comment on his body?

Even if he was in charge of the guards of the capital in Chang'an, he would no longer train with the generals, and after three years of slackness, his figure would naturally change. I have lived here with Xiao Yanzhi for three years, either going into the water to spearfish or hunting in the mountains, and cutting wood every day, without the help of people who are waiting, he is doing all the heavy body work, which is not much worse than the training back then.

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I don't like this, I just like you like this." ”

If you change to someone else, no matter how good your body is, it won't work.

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows and laughed: "What?" You don't like me like that before? ”

"I like it," Xiao Yanyi said with a smile as he touched it, "but I like it even more now." ”

Pei Ze's body stiffened suddenly, and then pulled away Xiao Yanzhi's hand, and said helplessly: "The gentleman doesn't move." ”

"Talking?"

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's eyebrows raised, Pei Ze knew that it was going to be bad, and sure enough, Xiao Yanzhi immediately reached out to hug Pei Ze, lowered his head and bit Pei Ze's shoulder, and licked it after biting.

Pei Ze rolled his eyes helplessly.

He said that it was not good to say such a sentence, it was really self-inflicted!

After leaving a circle of tooth marks, Xiao Yanyi raised his head with a dissatisfied face and complained to Pei Ze: "The taste is not as good as the feel." ”

Pei Ze smiled, kissed the corner of Xiao Yanzhi's mouth as if comfortingly, and said, "Tomorrow will make you have a good time, will it?" ”

Don't torture him on this last day.

"Done!" Xiao Yanzhi suddenly looked at Pei Ze with a smile.

Pei Ze smiled: "It's you, as thin as before." ”

"You want me to be stronger? Then it's okay for me to start practicing tomorrow. Xiao Yanzhi pinched his arm.

“…… Forget it. ”

said that he wanted to practice, but God knows what Xiao Yanzhi would toss, so let's get rid of it, don't your body didn't become stronger, but broke something again.

returned to the river to fork a fish, Pei Zecai went ashore and lay on Xiao Yanzhi's lap to dry himself.

When Li An and Xiao Chunyue arrived, Xiao Yanzhi was boiling fish soup in the kitchen, while Pei Ze was sitting in the yard picking vegetables.

Although this scene has been seen many times, it has made Li An dumbfounded every time.

How could the prince of their family pick vegetables so naturally?

"Lord Wang." Li An saluted Pei Ze.

Xiao Chunyue followed and saluted, and then said, "Is it in the kitchen?" I'm going to help him. ”

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chunyue ran into the kitchen.

"Sit down." Pei Ze looked up at Li An, and then continued to pick vegetables.

Hearing this, Li An looked around, but didn't find anything to sit on, stools, chairs, nothing, and then turned his head to look under Pei Ze's buttocks, only to find that Pei Ze was sitting on the ground, so Li An also sat on the ground opposite Pei Ze.

"The horses and coils are ready, and Miss Xiao has specially made some dry food, and even a change of clothes."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Li An looked at Pei Ze and hesitated: "Is the prince really not going to go back to Chang'an?" ”

Pei Ze didn't answer and asked, "Did Your Majesty say something?" ”

Li An shook his head: "Not really. ”

But didn't the prince and His Majesty only have three years of vacation when they said yes? Now that the holidays are over, the prince has not returned to Beijing, is that okay?

"That's fine." After picking the vegetables, Pei Ze fetched a bucket of water from the well, poured some into the vegetable basin, and began to wash the vegetables seriously.

After a moment of silence, Li An said again: "Then where is the prince going to go?" Why don't I let Xu Ren and them come over tomorrow morning to accompany the prince? ”

Pei Ze raised his eyes and glanced at Li An, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's convenient for two people to travel." ”

"Lord Wang, do you remember that you are still the King of Wucheng of the Tang Kingdom, and your life and death are also very important to the Tang Kingdom."

"Don't worry," Pei Ze looked at Li An with a worried face amusedly, "I will protect this life and let myself live as long as possible." ”

If he lives for one more year, he will be able to stay with Xiao Yanzhi for one more year, how can he be willing to die?

After washing the dishes, Pei Ze went to the kitchen with the vegetable basin.

In the kitchen, Xiao Chunyue saw Xiao Yanzhi's virtuous back as soon as she entered the door.

"Words."

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and smiled: "Sister Chunyue, come so early?" ”

Xiao Chunyue walked to Xiao Yanzhi's side and said with a smile: "It's not early, if it's late, I won't be able to drink your soup." Is there anything I can help me with? ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "No, it's all done." By the way, does Sister Chunyue know where Pei Ze plans to go? ”

Xiao Chunyue shook her head and said, "How do I know? I just heard Li An say that you don't plan to go back to Chang'an, so I came to see you, who knows when you will come back after you leave? Didn't he tell you? ”

In the past three years, they have been near Chang'an, and it took less than half a day to go back and forth, but it was really difficult to meet each other this time.

Xiao Yanzhi shrugged and said, "I always persuade him to go back to Chang'an, so he doesn't talk to me about this anymore." ”

"But if you insist on going back, Pei Ze will definitely rely on you, right?" Xiao Chunyue turned her head to look at Xiao Yanzhi.

"That's right," Xiao Yanzhi smiled and nodded, "but I can go anywhere, so why not follow his will?" ”

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Chunyue rolled her eyes: "As long as you are with him, you can go anywhere!" Sure enough, it was the water spilled by the married brother. ”

Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is that what you say?

"How's my sister doing? Have you found a good person? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Chunyue's eyes moved away, and her expression became a little unnatural, "No." ”

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "There are so many ignorant young people in Chang'an City, sister, don't be polite, if you really like it, you can get people back in the name of Sister Wucheng Wang Yi, and my sister can have as many as she wants." ”

Xiao Chunyue kicked Xiao Yan and feigned anger: "Your sister, am I a human trafficker?" Why do you have to pick on ignorant young people? ”

Xiao Yanzhi rubbed his legs and said, "Because of ignorance, if such a person is good to his sister, then he will definitely treat his sister well." ”

Feeling that Xiao Yanzhi's words also made some sense, Xiao Chunyue asked, "What if it's not an ignorant youth?" ”

"Then it's hard to say," Xiao Yanyi said while looking at Xiao Chunyue's expression, "If it's like Xu Ren, then it's like Xu Ren, then eighty percent is a bully, if it's like Kong Qing, it should just do it and don't say it, but if it's like Li An, it's troublesome." ”

Xiao Chunyue has been staying in the Wucheng Palace, if she really has a crush on anyone, it is still a few people in the Wucheng Palace. But who could it be?

After waiting for a while but not waiting for Xiao Yanzhi's next sentence, Xiao Chunyue asked carefully, "Why is it in trouble?" ”

"As the long history of Wucheng Palace, Li An has always taken care of Pei Ze's internal and external affairs, and what he has trained over the years is not only ability. That man is the best at hiding himself, and if there is something he doesn't want others to find out, he will not be able to find even the slightest clue. With such a person, if you are not a person who is very observant and shrewd, I am afraid that it will be very tiring. ”

After saying that, Xiao Yanzhi found that Xiao Chunyue was thinking about something with a worried face.

Xiao Yanzhi asked with a smile, "What?" Could it be that my sister likes Li An...... Something like that? ”

Xiao Yanzhi's words were like this in the middle, which made Xiao Chunyue reveal a flaw: "Who, who likes him, he is like that!" That dead fox has a bad stomach! ”

Seeing Xiao Chunyue's panic at that moment, Xiao Yanzhi knew it in his heart, but he didn't break it.

"Anyway, no matter who my sister has a crush on, I'm on my sister's side."

Hearing this, Xiao Chunyue showed a smile.

"In other words," the sister and brother had just finished chatting about this topic, and Pei Ze walked into the kitchen with a vegetable basin, followed by Li An, "The dishes are washed." ”

"Oh, what a time." Xiao Yan took two steps forward, took the vegetable pot over, and kissed Pei Ze's face by the way.

Seeing such a scene, Xiao Chunyue blushed when she landed, raised her forehead and sighed: "In other words, my sister knows that there are only two of you here, and you are used to doing whatever you want, but when you go outside, you must be careful about others." ”

She is used to seeing such scenes in Fengyue occasions, but acting on the spot is completely different from this heart-based behavior. And ordinary couples are not so sweet after four or five years of marriage, these two men are really unbearable.

Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze glanced at each other, and then Pei Ze turned around and went out, Xiao Yanzhi returned to the stove with the vegetable basin, and no one responded to Xiao Chunyue's words.

Seeing this, Xiao Chunyue glared at Xiao Yanzhi: "You two don't plan to scruple at all, right?" Don't forget that he is still King Wucheng! If there is any rumor about this, he will not want his reputation! ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said: "This is where love goes, I can't help it, I can't help it, I have to love it, and I ...... it."

Without waiting for Xiao Yan to finish speaking, Xiao Chunyue was so angry that she kicked Xiao Yan again.

After dinner, Li An and Xiao Chunyue went back to Chang'an City, with Li An with a fast horse, the two of them could rush back before midnight, Li An also had the token given by Xu Lishan, even if he entered the city late at night, he would not be interrogated.

Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the room.

There is nothing to do in this place, and you can still walk around during the day, but you don't dare to run around at night, so Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi's entertainment every night is to sit in the room and read and write in addition to sitting in the courtyard and watching the stars, fortunately, the two of them are together, but they are no different from when they were still in Chang'an. When the sleepiness hit, the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

had a good night's sleep as usual, but when Pei Ze opened his eyes again, what he saw was Xiao Yanzhi straddled him in the morning light.

"Morning, enough sleep?" Xiao Yanzhi calmly sat on Pei Ze's waist, and greeted Pei Ze with a smile as soon as he saw Pei Ze open his eyes.

Lowering his eyes and looking at his wide open clothes, Pei Ze smiled helplessly: "Get up early in the morning to sneak attack me?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi leaned over, kissed Pei Ze on the lips and said, "Seeing that you slept soundly, I was not willing to sneak attack you, so I just passed the addiction." ”

"That's good." Pei Ze put his hands behind his head and looked at Xiao Yanzhi for a long time.

Because Xiao Yanzhi said that he wanted to keep filial piety for the first emperor for three years, and he really kept himself honestly for three years, so he thought that Xiao Yanzhi was really pure-hearted and had few desires, but at this time, looking at Xiao Yanzhi's appearance, he knew that he was not the only one who was patient.

Xiao Yanzhi stretched out a finger and walked along Pei Ze's muscle lines: "Seriously, have you secretly done anything behind my back in the past three years?" In the last half of the year, I had to face such a body every day, and I had to endure it very hard. ”

Pei Ze said proudly: "You said that you would keep it for three years." ”

"Well, I said that," Xiao Yanzhi's palm rubbed against Pei Ze's abdomen, "but his intestines were blue with regret." You say I don't look like a filial person, so why do I have to do this? ”

Pei Ze chuckled, pulled out his hand and put it on Xiao Yanzhi's waist, moving restlessly.

Xiao Yanzhi leaned over and gave Pei Ze a deep kiss after a three-year absence.

Pei Ze couldn't lie down in the end, turned over and suppressed Xiao Yanzhi, and was mainly anti-guest.
