It was another early morning, Xiao Yanzhi got up in a daze, watched Pei Ze escape from the scene of the incident through the window, washed and changed his clothes, and finally came to his senses to go to the Liangyi Hall to ask for peace, but heard a report that someone from the Liangyi Hall had come.

Xiao Yanzhi walked out of the room and saw Zhao Kang's little apprentice standing in the courtyard with a panicked expression.

"What's the matter with the security? Is there something my father commanded? Xiao Yanzhi smiled and looked at Bao Quan gently.

After kneeling down to greet Xiao Yanzhi, he hesitated: "Your Highness, is it ...... It was His Majesty who was not safe and ordered a break today. ”

"Hugh Dynasty?" Xiao Yanzhi's smile was fixed on his face, and he looked at the security guard in a bit of confusion, and then pulled his legs and ran out.

Although they didn't get along for a long time, Xiao Yanzhi could see clearly how diligent and dedicated the emperor was, and if the emperor decided to suspend the dynasty, there must be a big problem, and the term "dragon body is not safe" was used for security, which made Xiao Yan subconsciously think that the emperor was sick.

Running all the way to the apse of the Liangyi Palace, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't even wait for the report to break into the emperor's bedroom.

"Father!"

In the bedroom, the emperor had woken up, and was waiting for Zhao Kang to change clothes behind the screen, when he suddenly heard someone knock open his door, and the emperor stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword hanging next to the bed, and then heard the voice, only to know that it was Xiao Yanzhi.

Handing the sword to Zhao Kang, the emperor walked out from behind the screen without even tying his clothes, and looked at the panicked Xiao Yanzhi with a worried face: "Yanzhi, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor from head to toe in a daze, and asked with some confusion in his mind: "Father, ...... It's okay? ”

"I?" The emperor turned to look at Zhao Kang, and then at Xiao Yanzhi, "What can I do?" ”

"It's not...... Didn't the preservation say that your dragon body is not safe and you want to retire? Xiao Yanzhi couldn't react a little.

The emperor thought about it carefully, and then he figured out what was going on, and couldn't help but smile: "It's just an excuse, Qin Tai howled here for a long time yesterday, and I should always have a reaction." ”

"You ......" As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yanzhi also understood, and he felt a little crying and laughing, and sat on the ground with his ass at ease, "Father, you can't let the security guard speak clearly!" It's scared to death! ”

The emperor smiled and said, "What? Do you really think I'm sick? I see that you are quite clever on weekdays, why haven't you figured it out now? ”

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the emperor angrily and said, "How can Erchen have the heart to think about that!" ”

Come here early in the morning, without giving a hint or foreshadowing, he suddenly heard the news, how could he think so much!

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi had completely lost his usual calm and calm appearance for his health, the emperor was moved and very happy, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yanzhi with a smile, saying, "Don't sit on the ground, it's cold on the ground." ”

"Erchen's heart is cold, are you still afraid of the cold on the ground?"

The emperor grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm, dragged the person up, and said with a smile: "What? Afraid that something will happen to me and no one will be your backer? ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanyi glared at the emperor fiercely, and said, "Father, if something happens to you, your son will just be able to go back to Jiangnan!" ”

"Well, you're still angry? It's my fault, it's my saying the wrong thing. The emperor turned his head again and said to Zhao Kang happily, "Look at this kid, he is neither big nor small in front of me, and he is still angry with me." ”

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhao Kang also said with a smile: "Your Highness is really frightened, the old slave looked at His Highness's face when he first came in. ”

"Timid as a rabbit," the emperor teased Xiao Yanzhi, "think things clearly next time, don't scare yourself." ”

Seeing that the emperor was proud of being cheap and obedient, Xiao Yanzhi was so angry that the roots of his teeth itched, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, yes, the next time Erchen hears such news, he will sit in the Wanchun Hall and wait, and wait for the imperial doctor to diagnose your father's pulse and see that you are sick, and Erchen will come over again." ”

Hearing this, the emperor glared at Xiao Yan and said, "Why don't you wait for me to die and come back?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi wanted to say that he wouldn't use it when the emperor died, but he endured it, and swallowed it back.

"Is there a doctor in the Imperial Doctor's Department that my father can trust? Let someone call it. ”

"If there is no such person, I am really the emperor in vain." The emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Kang immediately went out to make arrangements.

It didn't take long for the imperial physician to come to the Liangyi Hall in a hurry, and rushed into the emperor's bedroom in the Liangyi Hall as if he was reincarnated, but when he looked at it, he saw that the emperor was chatting with Xiao Yanzhi with breakfast in a refreshed manner.

"Chen Chenzhong, knock to see His Majesty."

As soon as he heard Chen Zhong's voice, the emperor immediately put on a sick look, and said weakly: "Just say that I am fine, you have to work hard to mobilize the people, but if you can't say it, you will go to find words, and you have all found a way to cure me." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare." Knowing that the emperor's words were just a formality, Zhao Kang cooperated and knelt down.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the emperor playfully, and also cooperated: "Father, don't always take your illness seriously, the imperial doctor raised in the Imperial Doctor's Department is not kept to watch, if you feel uncomfortable and want to call someone to come over to diagnose the pulse, it is just a matter of one sentence, and you will not be tired." You always feel that you can endure this small illness and pain, but if you don't pay attention to it and become a major illness, you can suffer it! Erchen doesn't know what kind of hero you are. ”

The emperor glared at Xiao Yanzhi: "What am I looking for you to come back for?" I told you to take care of it! ”

Xiao Yanzhi snorted coldly and did not speak.

The emperor sighed helplessly, moved his buttocks and sat on the edge of the couch, put his hand on the small table on the couch, and said to Chen Zhong: "Imperial Doctor Chen will come and take a look at me, I have to reassure your Highness." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhong hung his head and stepped forward, took out the pulse pad from the box he carried with him, and put it under the emperor's wrist, and then took the pulse for the emperor.

After thinking for a while, Chen Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor smiled slightly, sighed, and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "Yesterday, not long after you left the Liangyi Palace, Qin Tai led Qin Fengming here, and he still had the face to take back his life?" His son is a son, and my son is not a son?! Did he think I didn't know what he had been thinking about all these years? Did he think I didn't know what his son had done? I don't know how many grievances the second and third children have suffered? I didn't say anything, because I regarded him as a brother, and he was so good that he kicked his nose in the face! He talked about the friendship of life and death together in front of me every time, but I saw that he regarded this friendship as a gold medal for avoiding death! ”

Hearing this, Chen Zhong knew what kind of diagnosis he should give to the emperor, and at the same time, he also knew that this was the task given to him by the emperor, and he had to arrange a story according to what the emperor said to publicize this matter.

Retracting his hand and putting away the pulse pad, Chen Zhong silently began to write the prescription.

As soon as the emperor saw it, he closed his mouth.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Chen Zhong and asked, "Imperial Doctor Chen, is my father sick?" ”

Chen Zhong replied while writing: "If you go back to Your Highness, Your Majesty is just depressed in your heart, and your heart is too hot, so the minister will open a prescription for Your Majesty to recuperate." The minister is brave, and I also ask His Royal Highness to talk to His Majesty more to relieve the depression in His Majesty's heart. ”

After saying that, Chen Zhong handed the written recipe to Zhao Kang.

Xiao Yanzhi said politely: "There is Lao Chen's Imperial Doctor." ”

"Your Highness is gracious."

After Zhao Kang sent Chen Zhong away, he went to the front hall, where there were still powerful officials waiting for the court, Zhao Kang originally wanted to serve the emperor to wash and change clothes and have breakfast before going to the front hall, but since Xiao Yanzhi arrived, he didn't have to watch these things.

As soon as the civil and military ministers in the east and west halls heard Zhao Kang say that the emperor's dragon body was unsafe and he was going to take a day off, he had his own calculations in his heart.

Qin Fengming and the eldest prince have all heard about the matter of forming a beam, yesterday morning to Qin Tai to report his illness, they knew that this time the emperor had the upper hand, some people have nothing to do with themselves, they just want to wait and see what happens, and those who have already taken refuge in Qin Tai can't sit still, especially when they know that Qin Tai entered the palace yesterday to ask for guilt but failed to reinstate Qin Fengming, they are even more anxious.

Originally, I thought that today I would unite with the court to make peace for the emperor and Qin Tai, but at this time, even the emperor is sick and wants to suspend the court, who do they want to plead with?

Someone moved his mind and came to Zhao Kang's side and asked in a low voice: "Lord Zhao, I have something I want to talk to the King of Shu, I don't know if I can trouble Lord Zhao to dredge it up?" ”

As he spoke, the man also took out a bag of money from his sleeve pocket and secretly stuffed it to Zhao Kang.

Zhao Kang took a step back sensitively.

Smiling slightly, Zhao Kang was embarrassed: "Oh, how can this be made!" It's okay for this lord to want to see His Highness, but it's just ...... It's just that at this time, His Royal Highness is serving in front of His Majesty, and I'm afraid that I can't pull away, if this adult is not in a hurry, the old slave may be able to bring a message to the adult, but if he is in a hurry, he is in a hurry...... Then the old slave has no choice. Or this lord, you will take a trip to the Wanchun Palace? ”

"No, no, no!" The man hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand in refusal, "There's nothing important to say." Delay Lord Zhao, farewell, farewell. ”

Zhao Kang looked at the back of the man who left in a hurry and sneered.

They don't understand anything if their highness is from the countryside, right? You think their highness is simple and kind and easy to deceive, right? Hum! Blind as a bat!

After putting away the folds brought by the ministers and seeing the hundred officials leave, Zhao Kangcai and the two of them returned to the Liangyi Hall with a stack of folds.

In the Liangyi Palace, Zhao Kang left, Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian rushed to the Liangyi Hall when they heard the news, but they came, but they were blocked by the emperor and not allowed to enter.

In the bedroom, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor's expression, and then said with a smile: "Why is my father still angry?" Erchen came quickly, that is because Erchen was the first to get the message of preservation, and Erchen's Wanchun Hall is the closest to the Liangyi Palace, calculate the time, the righteous brother and the two imperial brothers are not slow to come at this time, father, why do you have to let them wash their faces and change their clothes, right? ”

The emperor turned a deaf ear to Xiao Yanzhi's words, and didn't even look at Xiao Yanzhi, let alone talk back.

The emperor is angry, even if he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian's approach in the past, but today there is Xiao Yanzhi to make a comparison, and now look at Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian, how the emperor thinks and how angry.

The same sons, the same heard that he was sick, one ran in a hurry regardless of anything, and slammed open his door on the charge of trespassing on the emperor's bed, in order to confirm whether he was safe as soon as possible, these two are good, not to mention whether they rushed over as soon as they received the news, just looking at their calm figures reflected on the door, it can be seen that they are not too worried about his father's physical condition.

Maybe worried, just not so worried.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "What's the matter in the palace, isn't that what happened, how can you be careful, father?" This is a loss of imperial bearing. ”

Wouldn't the emperor have seen these things clearly a long time ago? What do you mind so far?

"Why do you talk so much?!" The emperor glared at Xiao Yan fiercely.

Glancing at the three people who were still standing outside the door, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Father, if you don't see them, give them a word of permission and let them leave quickly." They're busy, so don't bother them. ”

Yesterday, Pei Ze was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed, and since the two of them shared the bed, Pei Ze fell asleep before him for the first time. As a result, he didn't have to get up early in the morning today, and he felt tired when he looked at it.

"You still feel sorry for them?" The Emperor snorted coldly.

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard this, stood up and walked to the door.

"What are you going to do? Sit down for me! ”

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and glanced at the emperor, and said, "Father, don't you be unreasonable?" ”

Before the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi had already opened the door, and when he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi's people had already stepped out of the room and closed the door again.

"Xiao Yanzhi!" The Emperor glared angrily.

Xiao Yanzhi, this stinky boy, can't be obedient for a cup of tea, and he will be angry with him when he turns his head! Is it the father or the brother who is important?!

Pei Ze and the three of them outside the door only heard the emperor's roar, and they were so frightened that their hearts trembled, so as soon as they saw Xiao Yanzhi come out, they all looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a nervous face.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm and asked nervously.

Xiao Yanzhi said disappreciatively: "It's okay, my father is losing his temper." ”

"Trouble...... Temper? Xu Liqian looked at Xiao Yanzhi blankly.

"You don't have to worry about this," Xiao Yanzhi waved his hand, and then said, "The imperial doctor just came over to see it, and said that my father was depressed and too angry, probably because he was angry, and he was just a little dizzy in the morning and couldn't get out of bed." ”

"It's okay for my father to be fine." Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Liqian said again: "As soon as I heard from the security that my father was unwell, I hurried over, and my father's refusal to see people scared me a lot, but it turned out that there was a big brother in it to take care of it." ”

Xiao Yanzhi nodded and smiled: "I'm closer to my father's place, so I can arrive earlier than you." My father is watching here, if necessary, I will ask people to invite Jiang Guifei to come over, I see that you have been busy since yesterday, if you have nothing to do at this time, go back and rest, if you have something, go to do something. ”

"Then ......," Xu Lishan hesitated, "Don't we really need to see our father?" ”

Isn't it good to come to visit the patient but not see anyone?

Xiao Yanzhi glanced into the room when he heard this, and said, "Otherwise, if you can spare time, come over at lunchtime." ”

"This thing...... Is what the eldest brother said? Xu Liqian picked his chin, asking Xiao Yanzhi if he really didn't need to ask the emperor's opinion.

"I don't count what I said," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head decisively, "The third emperor brother can not come." ”

Xu Liqian was choked and touched his nose embarrassedly.

Xu Lishan and Pei Ze glanced at each other and said, "Since this is the case, my father will ask the eldest brother to take care of it, and I will come over to see it when my brother and I have lunch." There is Brother Lao. ”

Xu Liqian hurriedly spoke: "I'll come too." ”

"Well, then you guys should get busy." Xiao Yanzhi nodded.

Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian exchanged a few more polite words with Xiao Yanzhi before turning back one step at a time.

Pei Ze had already followed a few steps, but turned back again.

"Are you okay alone?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then smiled: "If I say that there is a problem, will my brother help me?" ”

"Help." Pei Ze's answer was crisp and decisive, which made Xiao Yanzhi feel very surprised.

Looking at Pei Ze in a daze, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Come on, you can't be busy with things over there, what do I do?" Don't worry, although I haven't taken care of the old man, I'm very good at taking care of children. ”

Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi carefully, then nodded, and said, "If there is anything, go to the Daji Hall to find Xu Ren, he knows where to find me." ”

"Okay."

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi nodding in response, Pei Ze left with confidence.

After seeing Pei Ze and the three of them leave, Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth. He turned around and went back to the emperor's bedchamber.

The emperor was sitting on the couch and looked at Xiao Yanzhi with cold eyes.

"Father, it's useless for you to stare at me," Xiao Yanzhi shrugged, walked to the emperor and sat down, no big or small, "The three of them have always done this, Father, you can't count what they did right as wrong just because they have a comparison, then aren't they too pitiful?" ”

"Crooked!" After glaring at Xiao Yan again, the emperor's anger had already subsided.

He also knows that now, the things that were once within reach have gradually become extravagant hopes, and many things that were once held in his hands are now unbelievable, and he understands in his heart, but when he really sees it clearly, he still can't help but feel cold.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Besides, if they are all like sons, how much anger do you have to suffer a day?" ”

This made the emperor laugh: "You are quite self-aware, huh? ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said with a sneer: "Father has won the award." ”

"I didn't praise you!"

Since this day, the emperor has been sick, but the early dynasty only took a day off, and then every morning after the emperor woke up, he would ask Zhao Kang to put some lead powder on his face, and look paler, and cough a few times from time to time, every time he saw Qin Tai or said Qin Tai, he showed a cold but secretly sad look.

In addition, the imperial physician Chen Zhong had already compiled the grievances and grievances between the emperor and Qin Tai into touching stories and spread them, and there were originally ministers who wanted to help Qin Tai say a few good words, but when they heard that Qin Tai was in this story, he was even suspected of treachery, so they swallowed back what they were going to say, and then heard from the mouth that Qin Fengming colluded with rich businessmen in Chang'an to make money, and the court was in an uproar.

What Qin Fengming did, how could Qin Tai not know? Qin Fengming can be so big, how can he not have Qin Tai's acquiescence? Qin Fengming's matter was kept secret, and no one in Chang'an knew about it, how could there be no Qin Tai's protection? If it hadn't been broken by the eldest prince, how long would Qin Fengming have to hide this matter? Thanks to Qin Tai's usual appearance of a decent man and gentleman in front of his colleagues, and thanks to the loyalty of the Qin family for generations, how can Qin Tai be worthy of his grandfather?

It's a pity that most of them have received favors from the Qin family, and it is impossible for them to be treacherous and serve the Qin family with the emperor. This trip to the troubled waters, they still don't wade into the water, for the time being, just watch the fire from across the mountain, and see what the attitude of the Qin family's wife is.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor raised yì in the court hall and asked Xiao Yanzhi to enter the Honglu Temple to study.

The emperor said this skillfully, what he said was to let Xiao Yanzhi learn, not manage, so even if anyone felt that Xiao Yanzhi's ability was insufficient, he would not be able to refute it, because the emperor knew that Xiao Yanzhi's ability was insufficient, so he sent Xiao Yanzhi to Honglu Temple to study. But a prince entered Honglu Temple, and he said a word, as long as it was not ridiculously wrong, did anyone in Honglu Temple dare not listen?

Tolerate concessions for many years, but the emperor can completely turn his face with Qin Tai for Xiao Yanzhi's matter day and night, this incident made the ministers see the emperor's preference for Xiao Yanzhi, and now, who else dares to offend Xiao Yanzhi blatantly? Those who were once just ignorant of Xiao Yanzhi like Qin Tai and wanted to manipulate him to seek high positions and power also stranded their respective plans, secretly glad that there was another Qin Tai who was more anxious than them, otherwise they would be the unlucky ones at this time.

But the emperor's preference also made more people want to cling to Xiao Yanzhi.

The battle between the court and the court is changing rapidly, and without a member of the royal family to rely on, they have little hope for a bumpy road ahead. And Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian have the help of the mother clan behind them, even if the others climb up, they are just going to be an errand runner, only the eldest prince Xiao Yanzhi is alone, which is also the reason why Xiao Yan was targeted by many people when he returned to Chang'an, but no one looked down on Xiao Yanzhi at that time, but now no one dares to look down on him.

Xiao Yanzhi also clearly felt that since the emperor mentioned that he wanted to send him to Honglu Temple in the early court, he was suddenly very popular, and every day when he went back and forth in the palace, he could meet a lot of people who came to talk, some of which he had seen in the early court, and some he had never seen, Xiao Yanzhi was really curious about where they came from.

And after really going to Honglu Temple, Xiao Yanzhi knew that the emperor had dug a big pit for him to jump, and said that it was only because Qin Fengming was deposed, so he asked him to replace Qin Fengming's original job, so as to ensure that the emperor could receive foreign envoys smoothly during the emperor's birthday banquet.

Xiao Yanzhi thought that this matter could be regarded as starting from him, and it was reasonable to let him be responsible, but after Xiao Yanzhi went to Honglu Temple to report, he knew that eighty percent of the work of Honglu Temple to receive foreign envoys was related to the Ministry of Rites, that is to say, for the emperor's birthday banquet, Xiao Yanzhi had to walk around in Honglu Temple, but also count half of the Ministry of Rites.

What's even worse is that Xiao Yanzhi, the eldest son of the emperor, stopped there, whether it was a small official of Honglu Temple or an official of the Ministry of Rites, they all looked at him with a look of waiting for orders, except for things related to the emperor's birthday banquet, other things had to be asked to Xiao Yanzhi.

A few days later, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly woke up, where did he go to study? It's clear that he took over Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites at the same time!

No wonder the emperor was kind-hearted, and he didn't need to go to the Hongwen Pavilion to listen to Ji Wencheng's lectures for the time being, he took over the two departments, how could he have time to go to the Hongwen Pavilion?!

The most infuriating thing is that when Xiao Yanzhi went to complain to the emperor, the emperor pretended to be stupid with a smug face, and hated Xiao Yanzhi's teeth itching.

At the end of August, the show girl entered the palace to be selected, and Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian's work to maintain law and order in Chang'an was finally completed, but Xiao Yanzhi's work had just begun.

At night, when Pei Ze came to Wanchun Palace, Xiao Yanzhi was lying on the couch pretending to be dead, and when he heard the sound of Pei Ze closing the window, he only moved his eyes, but he didn't even see the corner of Pei Ze's clothes, so Xiao Yanzhi withdrew his gaze.

He really didn't even have the strength to move his eyes.

Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi, who was motionless, amusedly, and asked, "Didn't you go in place of Qin Fengming?" How do you get tired like this? ”

"I was deceived...... Xiao Yanzhi said aggrievedly, "Father, this liar ......"

Pei Ze smiled: "When His Majesty said that he wanted you to go, you should have thought of it." ”

"I thought about it," Xiao Yanzhi grimaced, "but I didn't expect him to give me two at once...... Did the second emperor brother say anything? ”

Pei Ze shook his head and said, "What can he say?" Hurry up, there are more things to do tomorrow, what are you going to do if you don't hurry up and go to sleep? ”

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes and looked at Pei Ze, and said in a low voice, "I can't get up." ”

Pei Ze shook his head and smiled: "Since you have no strength, why don't you just go to the bed and lie down?" ”

"It's so tiring to walk from the door to the bed."

Pei Ze turned his head to look at the bed, and then at the door, but he was speechless.

Shaking his head, Pei Ze bent down and picked up Xiao Yanzhi, turned around and walked to the bed.

Xiao Yanzhi grinned and said, "It's best to be a righteous brother." ”

Pei Ze gave Xiao Yan a blank look.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Yanzhi rolled to Pei Ze's side again, blinked at Pei Ze and asked, "Brother Yi, haven't my younger brothers and sisters arrived yet?" ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze's eyes flashed, and he replied, "No, take them slower." In another three or five days, it should come. ”

It was indeed slower to carry three people in a carriage, but it shouldn't have been so slow, but in addition to the people he sent, there were still several waves of people looking for Xiao Yanzhi's younger siblings.

When his people rushed to Jiangnan to find the Xiao family brothers and sisters, they heard that someone had already gone to look for them, but fortunately there was Xiao Yanzhi's handwritten letter, otherwise his people really couldn't take the Xiao family brothers and sisters away.

But the people took it away, and they also brought a few tails with them by the way, and in order to get rid of these tails, they took a long detour, which delayed the trip.

He originally wanted the Xiao family brothers and sisters to enter Beijing with the previous batch of show girls, so that it would not be easy to be noticed, but he didn't expect things to be more troublesome than he imagined.

When he found Xiao Yanzhi, a country boy in Jiangnan, he knew that someone would inevitably want to use the Xiao family brothers and sisters to control Xiao Yanzhi, after all, everyone knew that the eldest son of the emperor grew up in the countryside, and the poor country boy who had not received any education was the most intimidating and the best to use, not to mention that he still had younger siblings, and he could make him his puppet with just three or two sentences.

knew that it would become so troublesome in the end, and he should have brought Xiao Yanzhi's younger siblings back to Beijing in the first place.

Thinking of this, Pei Ze suddenly thought of a question.

Xiao Yanzhi obviously grew up in the countryside, but why doesn't he look like a countryman at all?

Pei Ze wanted to ask Xiao Yanzhi, but when he turned his head, he found that Xiao Yanzhi was asleep again.

Every time he sleeps so fast, it's very boring for him to think about it alone.

Xiao Yanzhi, who was already asleep, didn't know Pei Ze's depression, and it wasn't until the next day after the morning dynasty that Xiao Yanzhi understood what Pei Ze meant by "more things tomorrow" that night.

In the past few days, he has been dizzy by the affairs of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites, and he actually forgot that after those show girls entered the palace, he also had to choose concubines together.

Sitting with the emperor in a viewing pavilion in the imperial garden, Xiao Yanzhi looked at a group of show girls who came slowly from far and near, and his heart almost collapsed.

"Father, it doesn't seem that today is the day to select draft girls, right?"

Xiao Yanzhi withdrew his gaze from the group of show girls, and when he turned his head, he saw that Pei Ze was also uninterested, Xu Lishan seemed to want to show that he was not interested, but the shining eyes betrayed him, Xu Liqian was much more direct, and he could see as far as he could with his neck stretched.

"You remember this," the emperor chuckled at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "I'm just taking you to see it today, if anyone catches your eye, tell me now, lest something go wrong again." ”

"Oh."

Are you afraid that the woman your son likes will be selected into the harem? Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, turned his head to face the group of show girls, and began to let go.

Although he is not interested, if he doesn't make a show, the emperor is afraid that he will not let him go.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yanzhi felt that he was about to fall asleep, but his shoulder was suddenly patted.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and looked at Pei Ze with hazy eyes: "What's wrong?" ”

As soon as he saw Xiao Yanzhi's appearance that he was about to fall asleep, Pei Ze looked helpless: "Your Majesty called you." ”

"Huh? Oh. Xiao Yanzhi turned to the emperor again, "Father called me?" ”

The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi's appearance of waking up from a big dream, and he was not angry or smiling.

"What did I ask you to do?"

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "But Erchen doesn't like it, what do you say to do?" ”

"Don't like both?" The Emperor frowned, "What do you think is wrong with them?" ”

Those who can be selected to enter the palace for the first time are all good-looking Peugeot family backgrounds, and the third child just twittered out a few favorites, and it seems that the second child seems to have a fancy, why don't you like it when you get here?

Xiao Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "Erchen thinks they are not good anywhere. ”

The most important thing is that the gender is wrong, how can he fall in love with others if the gender is different?

"And what are you looking for?" The Emperor asked again.

"Hmm......" Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, and then said, "Just look at it." ”

"What makes you look good?"

"That's it...... You can see it," Xiao Yan looked at the emperor with an innocent face, "Father, even if you ask, the sons can't answer, and the sons don't feel moved when they look at them." ”

The emperor's eyebrows frowned even tighter: "How do you want to move?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yanzhi replied perfunctorily, "Is it the kind of heartbeat that makes your heart beat faster after you first see each other?" ”

Ask him what is heartbeat? He only remembered what it meant to be in a commotion.

The corner of the emperor's eyes jumped, and he said coldly: "You run around this pavilion ten times and then go to look at them, make sure that everyone's heart beats faster!" ”

Pei Ze and the three of them all laughed when they heard the emperor's words, and Xiao Yanzhi could only shrug helplessly.

The emperor shook his head and sighed, then stood up and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "If you don't like it, there is no one, and there are not only these show girls who enter the palace, wait until I ask Jiang Guifei about the arrangements for tomorrow, and then I will take you to find a place to continue watching." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi was stunned at first, and pondered the emperor's words again, Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Father, are we peeking today?" ”

"What a peek!" The Emperor turned his head and glared at Xiao Yan, "I just found a place that was not easy for them to notice. If they know that you are all there, will they still be able to show their true temperament? ”

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "They have all entered the palace?" What other true temperament can there be? ”

The emperor lowered his eyes when he heard this, and sighed after a while: "They have just entered the palace, no matter how shrewd they are, they are still just children." ”

Jiang Wan was not like this back then.

"Is it a child, do you still ...... Oops! The calf was kicked, and Xiao Yanzhi's mouth was finally closed.

Pei Ze, who kicked Xiao Yanzhi, bowed to the emperor as if nothing had happened, and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Yu Lin Weizhong still has some things to deal with, please let Rong Chen retire first." ”

The emperor pointed to Xiao Yandao: "Take him away with me, he doesn't have to go to Honglu Temple today, you take him to Yulinwei to go around, don't let him be idle." He's here to block me when he's free! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister retired. ”

Xiao Yanzhi, who was driven away by the way, also bowed to the emperor: "The son of the minister retired." ”

Why did he block the emperor? This is obviously the emperor himself adding blockage to himself, if the emperor didn't have to ask him to choose a concubine, would he talk so much nonsense? He's tired of talking too much!

Looking at the backs of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi walking away side by side, the emperor sighed: "It's really a thing descending from one thing." ”

In other words, this unserious boy can be quiet next to Pei Ze. Should he also ask Pei Ze how to treat that kid?

Thinking of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, the emperor looked at Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian, who were still standing beside him.

After pondering for a moment, the emperor spoke: "Do you two have something to do?" If not, let's have lunch with me. ”

Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian glanced at each other, and bowed their hands together: "Father Xie." ”

Seeing Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian obeying the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the emperor sighed in his heart.

If he did, he wouldn't have answered so unfamiliarly. That kid was not afraid of him at all, he could say whatever he wanted in front of him, and he could do whatever he wanted, and he had been in the palace for less than a month, but the number of times he disobeyed him could not be counted on two hands.

However, it is this child who has not been taken care of by him for more than 20 years in his life, but it is this child who seems to be heartless and lawless, but he is the most sincere, but the two who grew up next to him are becoming more and more separated from him.

Leading Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian to the Liangyi Palace, the emperor's mood was complicated.

On the other side, after Pei Ze took Xiao Yanzhi away, he didn't rush to Yulinwei, but just walked side by side with Xiao Yanzhi on the realm of the harem.

"In front of His Majesty, you can't say a few words? How dare you say anything? Thinking that if he hadn't stopped Xiao Yanzhi from saying something even more rebellious, Pei Ze felt his heart beat faster and was frightened.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't say everything, and I won't say anything that I can't say." ”

He's not stupid, it's just a little fight with the emperor to add some fun to the relationship between father and son, can he still go up the pole to find death? And he looked at the emperor and seemed to like his style, he was angry every day, and the emperor seemed to enjoy it. Isn't this the more he makes the emperor angry, the better the emperor treats him? As long as he doesn't violate the emperor's bottom line, then it should be fine.

"Say less if you can!" Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yan, "He is your father, but he is still the emperor in the end." ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled disapprethoughtly: "It's enough to have you as the emperor." ”

Pei Ze asked, "Are you usually so big or small when you are with Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi nodded: "Well, when there is nothing serious to talk about, it's like this." ”

Pei Ze rubbed the corners of his forehead, and secretly said that he was really unpredictable, how could he talk about the rules for a few years, but he was better at having no rules?

"Well, you just have to know it yourself."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled evilly, suddenly reached out and hooked Pei Ze's neck, leaned up and laughed: "What? My brother is worried about me? ”

Pei Ze squinted his eyes at Xiao Yan and said, "Since you entered the palace, I wasn't worried about you one day?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to be the case.

So Xiao Yanzhi said cheekily: "Anyway, it was the righteous brother who took me back to the palace, and the righteous brother is responsible for it to the end." ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze rolled Xiao Yan's eyes very hard: "Do you want me to be responsible for your life together?" ”
