It was easy to stay up to the time of the early dynasty, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze finally got rid of the emperor's relentless interrogation, but when they arrived at the front hall to start the discussion, Xiao Yanzhi always felt that there was someone next to him looking at him, although it was not a hot direct gaze, but the peek that was going to come every once in a while made people even more uncomfortable.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head slowly, trying to find out who paid so much attention to him, and this tilt of his head was opposite to Xu Lishan's eyes.

was caught by Xiao Yanzhi, but Xu Lishan uncharacteristically did not dodge, just stared at Xiao Yanzhi like that, his eyes were dark and deep.

was frightened by Xu Lishan's strange gaze, Xiao Yanzhi pondered for a long time and didn't understand what he had done to offend Xu Lishan.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled at Xu Lishan, but Xu Lishan looked away again.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, and then turned his gaze back, but after a while, he noticed Xu Lishan's unclear gaze, and Xiao Yanzhi suddenly felt a little like he was sitting on pins and needles.

It wasn't until the next dynasty that Xu Lishan stopped peeking and stopped Xiao Yanzhi when he was about to leave.

"Brother Huang, can you take a step to speak?"

Xiao Yanzhi's footsteps stopped, and he turned to look at Xu Lishan without surprise: "Of course you can." ”

Xiao Yanzhi agreed so decisively, but it scared Pei Ze and Xu Liqian.

Xu Liqian felt that the atmosphere between Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Lishan was not good: "The second emperor brother has a strict face, what do you want to say to the eldest emperor brother?" Can't I listen to my younger brother? ”

Pei Ze also looked at Xu Lishan in surprise.

Xu Lishan looked at Pei Ze, then at Xu Liqian, and said in a deep voice: "I just have a few words I want to ask the imperial brother." ”

Xiao Yanzhi patted Pei Ze's arm, signaled Pei Ze not to worry, and then asked Xu Lishan with a smile: "It's really rare for the imperial brother to talk to me alone, so where does the imperial brother want to go to talk?" ”

"Please come with me." Before the words fell, Xu Lishan raised his feet and walked out of the hall.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and followed.

Pei Ze and Xu Liqian were not at ease, so they slowly followed.

Xu Lishan just took Xiao Yanzhi out of the range of the Liangyi Palace, and then turned into an alley in the palace.

At the end of the early dynasty, there were eunuchs and palace maids walking back and forth in this alley, and patrols on duty occasionally passed by, which was not secluded.

"What is the imperial brother asking me?"

Xu Lishan stared at Xiao Yanzhi expressionlessly for a long time, he himself seemed to be hesitant, or he wasn't sure whether to ask, but after a while, Xu Lishan still asked straight to the point: "The prayer lantern in King Wucheng's mansion last night was put by you, right?" ”

The corners of Xiao Yanzhi's eyes jumped, and he asked with a smile: "I put it?" Why do you feel that? ”

"I've always felt that you were too close to Brother Pei, and even lived in the Wucheng Palace's mansion for three months, which is too abnormal!"

"Abnormal?" Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "But what you say to me is nothing more than jealousy." If you also want to go to live in the Wucheng Palace, I can help you ask Pei Ze. ”

"Xiao Yanzhi!" Xu Lishan reached out and grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's collar, but Xiao Yanzhi dodged it.

"Don't do it, your brother Pei is still watching from the mouth of the alley." The smile on Xiao Yanzhi's face remained unchanged.

Xu Lishan turned his head when he heard this, and really saw Pei Ze and Xu Liqian waiting at the mouth of the alley.

Turning back to look at Xiao Yanzhi again, Xu Lishan's eyes became even more fierce: "Xiao Yanzhi, are you trying to ruin Brother Pei's future?" Have you ever thought about what your father will do with Brother Pei after the East Window incident? ”

Xiao Yanzhi's smile cooled slightly: "You should go and say these words to Pei Ze, I like him as my business, and I never forced him to be with me." If you are really worried about Pei Ze's future, how about trying to enter the East Palace and dominate the world? When the time comes, you can kill me if you want, or send me to the frontier if you want, and I can get as far away from him as you want. Or do you think that with just a few words from you, I can give up on someone who has already arrived? ”

"You!" Xu Lishan glared angrily, "Don't be too complacent, I will do it sooner or later!" ”

"Then I'll wait and see," Xiao Yanzhi smiled again, "I hope to see you get what you want in my lifetime." ”

When the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi passed Xu Lishan and walked towards the mouth of the alley.

Xu Lishan turned around and watched Xiao Yanzhi leave, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

When Xiao Yanyi walked to the mouth of the alley, Xu Liqian asked nervously, "Have you quarreled?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Xu Liqian and asked, "Why do I want to quarrel with the second emperor brother?" ”

"It's not ......" Xu Liqian glanced at Pei Ze and said, "It's rare to see the second emperor's brother's face black like that, it's weird and scary." ”

"It's okay, it's just a little thing," Xiao Yanzhi turned his eyes to Pei Ze and said, "If you're not at ease, go talk to him." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze's eyebrows frowned slightly.

What Xu Lishan said to Xiao Yanzhi is still related to him?

After careful consideration, Pei Ze nodded in thought of Xiao Yanzhi.

Since it was about him and Xiao Yanzhi, he had to have a good chat with Xu Lishan.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled slightly and left with Xu Liqian.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Liqian were gone, but Pei Ze was still waiting at the mouth of the alley, Xu Lishan hesitated again and again before walking over slowly.

"Brother Pei."

Looking at Xu Lishan and sighing secretly, Pei Ze patted Xu Lishan's shoulder and asked, "Is there anything important to do today?" If not, come with me for a drink. ”

"Okay." Xu Lishan nodded, and left the palace with Pei Ze and went to the West Market, where there was a wine shop opened by Hu Ren, and the wine there was very much that Pei Ze and Xu Lishan liked.

The two of them rode to Xishi, and they didn't say anything all the way, until they entered the store and drank wine, and Pei Ze asked Xu Lishan first: "Is the matter of the household department still smooth?" ”

Xu Lishan nodded, and said a little unwillingly: "According to the method that the eldest brother said, the officials were awakened, and now everyone is honest, but the things to be done are trivial." ”

"That's good," Pei Ze nodded, "The household department is one of the indispensable official offices in the imperial city, so you can't be careless." ”

"I know." Xu Lishan poured a glass of wine, "I also hope that my father and emperor can recognize my ability, not my mother's family background." ”

Pei Ze's eyes flashed, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then let's marry a wife and choose someone who can be equal to the Jiang family." ”

Xu Lishan pursed his lips, and then said, "I want to rely on myself." ”

As soon as he heard this, Pei Ze knew what Xu Lishan was thinking, and he couldn't help sighing, and said, "Don't always compete with words, he didn't do these things by himself." ”

"What? Is there still the credit of Brother Pei? As soon as Xu Lishan heard this, he became angry.

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head helplessly and smiled: "I hope I can help him with something, but ......"

I had never seen Pei Ze look like this, and Xu Lishan became even more angry: "What is so good about Xiao Yanzhi?" Isn't he just an unscrupulous unscrupulous businessman from the countryside? I can understand that my father loves him, but Brother Pei, why are you? He is so manly, let him go to Qin Fengming, Brother Pei, what kind of evil did you fall for and go crazy with him? Do you know what you're betting on? Your future! Your future! If you don't do it, you're going to lose your life! ”

Seeing Xu Lishan roaring uncontrollably for the first time, Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "No wonder Yanzhi wants me to talk to you, you have really guessed what I told Yanzhi." But it's my private matter, and I want to make my own decisions for the rest of my life. ”

Pei Ze's last sentence made Xu Lishan's heart soften, but he said eagerly: "But if this matter is known to the father, the father will only punish you, Brother Pei, and he will never be fine, is it worth it?" ”

Pei Ze pursed his lips and said, "If it is true that as long as I am punished alone, I can protect him thoroughly, then it will be too late for me to be happy." ”

"Brother Pei!"

"Don't say it," Pei Ze lowered his eyes, "It doesn't matter if he's good or not, whether it's worth it or not, I just did what I wanted to do, I don't ask you to understand, but I think about the love between you and me for many years, don't go for trouble." ”

Pei Ze's words were firm, so that Xu Lishan had no words to refute, and only said in annoyance: "When I first noticed that you were getting too close to him, I should have stopped you!" ”

Xu Lishan turned his head to look out the window hatefully, and at this glance, he saw Xiao Yanzhi with a bright smile in the crowd, and then saw that Xiao Yanzhi was followed by a young man with red lips and white teeth, Xu Lishan gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Pei, I think you should first think of a way to let Xiao Yanzhi stop causing trouble, his ability to attract bees and butterflies, and flowers and grass is really unmatched!" ”

Feeling that Xu Lishan's tone was a little wrong, Pei Ze also turned his head to look out the window, and this look was also easy to see Xiao Yanzhi among a group of sturdy Hu people, and then looked along Xiao Yanzhi's line of sight, and then saw the young man walking with Xiao Yanzhi.

Pei Ze's face sank, he didn't say anything, got up and walked downstairs.

Xu Lishan snorted coldly and followed downstairs to see the excitement.

And Xiao Yanzhi, who didn't know anything, happily followed Yan Sheng to wander around the West Market.

After inspecting a Yan family's shop, Yan Sheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi, who was smiling very happily, and asked, "Very happy?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Yan Sheng, "It's okay." ”

Yan Sheng wondered: "You're always laughing." ”

Since he first met Xiao Yanzhi, Xiao Yanzhi's face has never lacked a smile, does he really encounter something worth being happy every day, or is he used to smiling first?

Xiao Yanzhi laughed and said, "Could it be that Young Master Yan wants to see me cry?" ”

Nothing unhappy happened again, is it strange that he keeps smiling?

Yan Sheng shook his head: "That's not true." Why are you thinking about coming to me today? ”

Xiao Yanzhi followed behind Yan Sheng, as if he was a follower: "It's not the end of the year, I have to go to Yanfu to send offerings to Young Master Yan, but they told me that you are in Xishi, and even my younger brothers and sisters are not in Yanfu, so I came to Xishi to find you." ”

"All the wine is brewed?" Yan Sheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi in surprise.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "How long does Young Master Yan think it will take to make wine?" And at the age of Young Master Yan, it is better to drink less spirits. ”

Hearing Xiao Yanzhi mention his age, Yan Sheng glared at Xiao Yan dissatisfiedly, and then said, "If it's unpleasant, don't count." ”

"Done!" Xiao Yanzhi smiled confidently.

"Hand-brewed wine?"

"yes." Xiao Yanzhi was attracted by a small ornament on the roadside stall, so he leaned over to take a closer look.

"Specially brewed for Yanfu?"

"This is not your ...... Young Master Yan" Xiao Yanzhi felt that Yan Sheng's question was strange, and he turned his head and was about to laugh at Yan Sheng, but he saw Pei Ze standing behind him with a cold face, and laughed so much that Xiao Yanzhi shuddered, "Pei, Pei Ze?" ”

Why is Pei Ze here? Didn't he go and have a good chat with Xu Lishan? Xu Lishan's hostility towards him was too strong, and it was useless for him to explain to Xu Lishan, so Pei Ze could only say that he didn't want to be troubled by Xu Lishan anymore. But how old is this for a while, why did Pei Ze appear in the West Market?

But Pei Ze doesn't look very happy......

"Surprised to see me?" Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yanzhi coldly.

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and sneered, "Should I say surprised or not?" Coming with Xu Lishan? Have you talked about it? ”

"Yes, we've talked about it." Pei Ze still stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and asked again, "The wine you buried in my mansion was specially prepared for Young Master Yan?" ”

When Li An told him, he thought that Xiao Yanzhi was preparing for their New Year, but Xiao Yanzhi gave it away? Xiao Yanzhi brewed wine with his own hands, didn't he even think about giving it to him? This handmade thing is just given to an irrelevant person?

Xiao Yanzhi nodded calmly and said, "Well, because I asked Young Master Yan to take care of my younger siblings, I always have to give some gifts in return, right?" ”

"Ringan they will also brew, why not let them return the gift themselves? And you borrowed my place for brewing, shouldn't you pay me a little too? Pei Ze took a step closer to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and muttered: "Why do you have to be jealous, if you want to drink, just tell me no?" ”

Pei Ze took another step closer to Xiao Yan: "Do you want me to speak?" ”

"Uh......" Xiao Yanzhi's back was against the case behind, and there was no way to retreat.

Yan Sheng had been standing by and watching curiously, and only then did he speak: "The court, the two of you will restrain yourself." ”

He couldn't stand this inappropriate posture of the body close to each other.

Pei Ze turned his head to look at Yan Sheng, and suddenly reached out to wrap his hand around Xiao Yanzhi's waist, took Xiao Yan back two steps, and left the stall, and then said to Yan Sheng: "I'm sorry to ask Young Master Yan to accompany him to pass the time, he didn't cause trouble to Young Master Yan, right?" ”

Feeling that Pei Ze was inexplicably hostile to him, Yan Sheng asked Xiao Yanzhi in confusion: "Who are you King Wucheng?" ”

"Forehead ......" Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and glanced at Pei Ze.

Xu Lishan was so frightened by this question that he trembled in his heart, and he was afraid that the indecent Xiao Yanzhi would tell the truth, so he hurriedly spoke first: "Friend! Naturally, they are friends! ”

"Friends?" Yan Sheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi, looked at Pei Ze, and then looked at Pei Ze as if he was proving something and kept holding Xiao Yanzhi's arm, "As a friend, King Wucheng has a lot of control." ”

Yan Sheng just said his thoughts truthfully, but these words were tantamount to a provocation in Pei Ze's ears.

"This king is also surprised by the kindness and friendliness of Young Master Yan, Yan ......"

But before Pei Ze could finish the words he used to fight back, he was pinched by Xiao Yanzhi on the waist.

"Shhh Pei Ze was in pain, and turned his head to stare at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze without fear, and then explained to Yan Sheng: "This is my ...... Belch...... Sweetheart, small heart, don't pay attention to him. ”

Hearing this, Yan Sheng was slightly surprised but felt that it was expected, Xu Lishan held his forehead and secretly thought that Xiao Yanzhi still said it, but Pei Ze's eyes lit up, and the anger in his eyes dissipated a little, and he became a little proud.

"Can you sue me about this?" Yan Sheng asked Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled generously: "There's nothing that can't be said, if you don't tell the world, you're just afraid of getting into trouble." ”

Hearing the words "Tell the world", Yan Sheng suddenly thought of the prayer lantern that flew all over the sky last night: "Haven't you already announced to the world?" Those prayer lanterns. ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Young Master Yan also saw it?" ”

"I just happened to see it," Yan Sheng nodded, and said, "Since I came to pick you up, you can go back quickly." If you can't stay in that place, you are welcome to come to Yan's house at any time, and I will share a shop for you. ”

"I really wrote down what Young Master Yan said, if one day we are cornered, the two of us will really go to the Yan family." Xiao Yanzhi said cheekily.

Yan Sheng smiled and said, "Just come." ”

Originally, he just thought Xiao Yanzhi was interesting, because he wanted to make a friend, so he helped Xiao Yanzhi take care of his younger siblings, but he didn't expect that the three brothers and sisters of the Xiao family were more talented in business than he imagined. Now he really wants to cooperate with Xiao Yanzhi, but unfortunately, the official is not in business.

After saying that, Yan Sheng took Tang Shuo to continue to inspect the Yan family's shop.

Xiao Yanzhi sent Yan Sheng away with a smile, and then turned his head to look at Pei Ze suspiciously: "Where did you see me?" How did so many people on the street recognize me? ”

"How could I not recognize you?" Pei Ze smiled, "Have you eaten?" ”

Xu Lishan rolled his eyes.

Obviously, he saw Xiao Yanzhi first.

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I didn't eat it, I originally wanted to rub Young Master Yan for a meal, but as a result, you came to make trouble, and you compensated me." ”

Yan Sheng gave Xiao Yan a blank look, and then led Xiao Yanzhi to the wine shop where he and Xu Lishan stayed before: "Let a child invite you, are you ashamed?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "A person who is jealous of a child and seriously raises the bar is not qualified to talk about me." ”

Pei Ze chuckled and said, "Then you have to blame for not even letting go of a child." ”

"I didn't!" Xiao Yanzhi kicked Pei Ze's knee.

"If you don't have the intention, others may not be unintentional." Pei Ze said very seriously.

If Xiao Yanzhi really has the intention to tease, he may not provoke so many butterflies and bees, but the key is that he is unintentional at all, and the gentleness and thoughtfulness in his bones will attract more people, but Xiao Yanzhi himself does not know it.

Xiao Yanzhi laughed and said, "What kind of heart can a teenager have?" ”

"I'm in my teens, so it's not good."

"Yo! Wu Chengwang decided that he couldn't even compare to a teenage child? Xiao Yanzhi laughed.

The corners of Pei Ze's eyes jumped, and he said, "I'm afraid that Young Master Yan will be poisoned by you, and you will be hunted down and killed by the Yan family again." ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said disapprerovitically: "Then I will have to trouble King Wucheng to save me." ”

Seeing the two people in front of him laughing as if no one was around, Xu Lishan took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm still here!" ”

How is it that these two people can also be used to flirt at this time? And two big men, how did they say these words so calmly?

Hearing this, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi turned their heads to look at Xu Lishan at the same time, and said in unison: "Anyway, you know everything." ”

The corners of Xu Lishan's eyes jumped, and he said, "I know doesn't mean I want to see it with my own eyes!" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and asked, "Since you don't want to see it, why do you want to keep up?" ”

Xu Li glared at Xiao Yanzhi fiercely: "I'm hungry!" I haven't eaten either! ”

Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Then what do you want to eat?" ”

Xu Lishan held his forehead, and after a while, he said in frustration: "I'm going home." ”

"Don't don't," Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly smiled and grabbed Xu Lishan, "The opportunity is rare, I invite you." ”

Xu Lishan glared at Xiao Yanzhi: "Do you have money?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, pointed at Pei Ze and said, "He has." ”

Xu Lishan rolled his eyes weakly: "I'm really leaving." ”

"Tsk! You kid! Xiao Yanzhi grabbed Xu Lishan's arm to death, "My brother said that he wanted to eat with you, and you came with him, why are you so reluctant?" I've got something to tell you! ”

Xu Lishan looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said coldly: "I don't think it's a very important matter, wait until you come to the Qi Palace's Mansion to talk to me after eating." ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze and asked in surprise, "How can this kid not talk big or small?" Transsexualized? ”

Pei Ze smiled: "I probably saw through the red dust." ”

Suddenly knowing what happened to him and Xiao Yanzhi, Xu Lishan was afraid that there was still some confusion at this time. But seeing that Xu Lishan had no intention of breaking with them because of this, he was finally relieved, and he was really afraid that Xu Lishan would become incompatible with Xiao Yan because of this matter.

"That's not going to work! Brother, I'm still waiting to see you marry and have children. Come on, come on, let's sit down and have a good chat. With that, Xiao Yanzhi forcibly pulled Xu Lishan upstairs.

"You don't care about him?" When passing by Pei Ze's side, Xu Lishan wanted to make a final struggle.

Pei Ze shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't care." ”

And he probably guessed what Xiao Yanzhi wanted to say to Xu Lishan, if he could take this opportunity to remove Xu Lishan's defense against Xiao Yanzhi, then it would be much easier for them to help Xu Lishan become the prince. This may be the perfect time to form an alliance.

"I'm really careless in making friends, and I'm not a lady when I meet people." Sitting at the table, Xu Lishan looked depressed.

Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze looked at each other and smiled, after the trouble, it was time to talk about serious things.
