16. Chapter 16
Xiushui thought for a while and said, "The slave maid saw that the Lizheng Hall next to it had closed the door early, presumably King Wucheng and His Second Highness had returned to the palace together." ”
In the end, whether the righteous son is a parent or not, King Wucheng himself should also be clear, so on weekdays, unless there is something important to deal with in the forbidden army, King Wucheng will not live in the palace. And His Royal Highness has always liked to follow Queen Wucheng, if there is nothing special to do, he will live with King Wucheng wherever he stays.
Looking at Xiao Yanzhi, who was alone in front of him, Xiushui suddenly felt that Pei Ze was a little unrighteous.
His Royal Highness has just lived in the palace, how unsteady is his heart? It is rare that King Wucheng has some friendship with His Royal Highness, why can't King Wucheng stay in the palace to accompany His Highness more at this time? Is the Wucheng Mansion going to fall or what? Does King Wu Cheng have to go back this time?
Xiushui secretly complained about Pei Ze in her heart, and Xiao Yanzhi was also a little unhappy in her heart.
Do you even have to go back to the palace together? Is this a person who can't live alone, but two people have to be together? Or did Xu Lishan not recognize the way out of the palace, so Pei Ze had to lead him out?
But after thinking about it, Xiao Yanzhi felt that the unhappiness in his heart was a little unreasonable.
Pei Ze and Xu Lishan have been together since they were young, although Xu Lishan's talking temperament does not look like a general, but I heard Xiushui say that when the emperor seized the throne, Xu Lishan cooperated with Pei Ze on the battlefield tacitly, and also made great achievements.
In Pei Ze's heart, the things related to him, even if they are life-threatening, I am afraid that they are not as trivial as Xu Lishan's sesame seeds, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yanzhi's thoughts suddenly stopped.
What is he comparing himself to Xu Lishan here?
Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips in annoyance, leaning on the square pillow a little sullenly.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi's expression was a little cold, Xiushui hesitated and asked, "Your Highness, are you looking for King Wucheng?" At this time, it is too late for Lian Sheng to go out of the palace to find it. ”
Xiao Yanzhi waved his hand and said in a muffled voice: "No need." Is Shao Sheng on duty today? ”
"Zhang Shaosheng? On duty, it's outside. Xiushui looked at Xiao Yanzhi's expression and said, "Do you want to call him in?" ”
"Well," Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and said, "Call Shao Sheng in, I don't need anyone here, you all go and rest." ”
"Yes." couldn't guess what Xiao Yanzhi was going to do, Xiushui only knew that it was safest to listen to Xiao Yanzhi's words.
Soon after Xiushui left, Zhang Shaosheng entered Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom.
"Looking for me?" Zhang Shaosheng walked up to Xiao Yanzhi and stood still.
Zhang Shaosheng has never had a real sense of Xiao Yanzhi's transformation into a prince, especially Xiao Yanzhi's words and deeds are no different from when he was young, so Zhang Shaosheng always unconsciously relaxed in front of Xiao Yanzhi, unable to remember respect and humility, and unable to remember etiquette.
Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyes at Zhang Shaosheng and asked with a smile, "What?" Do I have to have something to do to find you? Or is Shaosheng busy with official business now and has no time to accompany me? ”
Zhang Shaosheng smiled softly, sat down next to Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "Isn't my official business all your business?" It's just that now that you are a prince, you still have to pay attention to your words and deeds on weekdays, don't be too close to someone like me, it's easy to cause gossip. ”
This is the result of Zhang Shaosheng's thinking last night, now the two are no longer childhood playmates, the way of getting along with this monarch and minister must be different from the past, Xiao Yanzhi doesn't understand, Zhang Shaosheng has to think about it as an elder brother.
Xiao Yanzhi squinted at Zhang Shaosheng and sneered: "People like you? What kind of person are you? They are all poor boys rolling in the same mud pit, what is the difference between you and me? ”
Zhang Shaosheng smiled a little bitterly and said, "This time is different from the past. Let alone...... You're not a poor boy either. ”
Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head, took a sip of soup slowly, and said: "In this huge palace, only you are familiar with me, and you are someone I can trust. ”
"Anyway, I didn't mean that!" When Zhang Shaosheng heard this, he hurriedly explained, "I'm just...... I'm just afraid of dragging you down. No matter how poor and destitute you have been, now that His Majesty has taken you back to the palace, it is to recognize your identity, and in the future, you will be the prince of the prince, and you will be named the king of Shu by Your Majesty, you ......"
"Shaosheng," Xiao Yanzhi coldly interrupted Zhang Shaosheng's words, "go out." ”
Zhang Shaosheng was stunned, took a closer look at Xiao Yanzhi's expression, and found that Xiao Yanzhi's face was a little wrong.
Did he say something wrong that made him angry?
"Words?"
Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyes, looked at Zhang Shaosheng with a smile, and said, "I was bored, so I wanted to ask Shaosheng to come in and talk, but I suddenly wanted to sleep again." ”
Zhang Shaosheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, there was no trace of sleepiness in Xiao Yanzhi's bright eyes, obviously Xiao Yanzhi was really angry.
Zhang Shaosheng understands Xiao Yanzhi's temper, although this person always shows people with a smiling face, but his temper is actually not very good, once he annoys him, he can't listen to anything he says, so he can only explain to him after he gets angry.
So Zhang Shaosheng stood up, said a few words of concern, and left Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom.
After Zhang Shaosheng left, Xiao Yanzhi put down the soup bowl and extinguished the candlelight, but he didn't move.
I thought it would be a surprise to meet Zhang Shaosheng in this deep palace, Xiao Yanzhi would not involve Zhang Shaosheng in those unclean things, just thinking that there could be someone in this Wanchun Hall who knew his past and understood him, so he could occasionally take off his guard and chat a few words together, but it seems that as long as he enters this palace, things will not always develop as he thinks.
Xiao Yanzhi here was stunned in the darkness, and Pei Ze over there was also a little restless in the Wucheng Palace.
After today's next dynasty, Pei Ze, who had nothing to do, habitually returned to the Wucheng Palace, asked about the recent events in the mansion, checked a few shops under his name, looked at the letters and invitations sent to the mansion, wrote a reply, and the day passed.
Standing in front of the window of the study after dinner and looking at the night outside, Pei Ze suddenly remembered Xiao Yanzhi who would lose sleep in the palace, and when he thought about it, Pei Ze was a little worried.
I wonder if Xiao Yanzhi can sleep tonight......
Shi Li'an, the head of the palace, saw Pei Ze looking out of the window in a daze, thinking that Pei Ze was disturbed by political affairs, so he asked more: "Does the prince have something on his mind?" ”
Pei Ze came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and asked Li An: "If a person with insomnia can only sleep next to a certain person, what does this mean?" ”
