Xiao Yanzhi was very sorry that he couldn't rely on that dagger to get a valid reason to walk around the palace and visit.

"The prince and the second highness came down to look for me, but is there something?"

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was always sitting cross-legged on the Taishi chair, relaxed from head to toe, Xu Lishan looked at Pei Ze suspiciously.

This is the mountain village man in Brother Pei's mouth? A mountain village man who has arrived in a strange place but is as relaxed as home? A mountain village man who is still so rude in the face of the prince and the prince? Why is it that the mountain village man he has seen before is trembling and respectful when he sees someone who is better dressed than himself?

No matter what he thought in his heart, Xu Lishan came here to show favor to Xiao Yanzhi, so Xu Lishan smiled reservedly and said softly: "The imperial brother has just arrived, and the younger brother is afraid that the imperial brother will be unwell, so he came to see what else the imperial brother wants?" ”

"Request?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Lishan, then at Pei Ze, and asked, "Can I make a request?" ”

Xu Lishan nodded and said, "Of course you can, what else does the imperial brother need, just say it." ”

Xiao Yanzhi stretched out his finger to the ground and asked meaninglessly, "Do I have to live here?" ”

Pei Ze felt a little familiar when he heard this question, but Xu Lishan was stunned.

This Wanchun Hall is a serious hall in the palace, where does this imperial brother live if he doesn't want to live here? Could it be that he still wants a bigger place?

Disdainful in his heart, Xu Lishan asked patiently: "Not necessarily, if the imperial brother doesn't like it, it's okay to live in another place." ”

"That's great!" Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up and said, "I don't live here, give me a smaller place." ”

"It turns out that the royal brother likes to be smaller...... Yes? Xu Lishan was suddenly stunned, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi in amazement, "Brother Huang...... Want to live in a smaller place? ”

Xiao Yanzhi nodded very seriously and said: "This room is too big, even the chairs are of high-grade nanmu, the curtain next to it is also inlaid with gold wire, and the vase over there is also enamel, right?" Tut-tut, look at me and panic, where can I live in peace? Anyway, His Royal Highness also said that I don't have to live here, so let me change to a smaller place, I can't live that big alone. ”

Xu Lishan was dumbfounded, looked left and right according to what Xiao Yanzhi said, and was surprised to find that the "mountain village man" in coarse cloth clothes was still a knowledgeable person, Nanmu recognized it, Jin Si saw it right, and even recognized the enamel. Where can such a villager be raised in the mountains?

Hearing this, Pei Ze finally understood why he felt familiar with Xiao Yanzhi's previous question, when he entered the palace, Xiao Yanzhi used this question to fool Chu Liang, and wasted the shoulder that His Majesty specially ordered someone to do, although it was a trivial matter, Pei Ze felt that he should be more careful with Xiao Yanzhi's sentence in the future, lest he make more tricky requests.

Glancing at Xu Lishan, who was already unsure of what to do, Pei Ze said: "Wanchun Hall was personally selected by His Majesty for His Royal Highness, and it was also arranged by His Majesty Xià himself, representing His Majesty's heart to His Highness, and please ...... Get used to it early. ”

Pei Ze said this politely, but Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze's demeanor, and then listened to Pei Ze's tone, he felt that Pei Ze said "You have to get used to it".

Xiao Yanzhi frowned and said, "Didn't you say that you don't have to live here?" Actually, I can live anywhere, right? Your Majesty is concerned about state affairs, so you don't care where I live, right? I'm just a rough person, isn't it a waste to live in such a luxurious place? ”

In the past ten years, he has been crowded in a small house with his family, and even after going to the town to do business, he has divided a big house into three rooms, one for him, one for his two younger brothers, and one for his younger sister.

Pei Ze was unmoved and said: "Not necessarily, but it's the best." His Highness's residence should match His Highness's status. ”

Xiao Yanzhi understood. As a prince, he can still choose a place to live, but since this is the residence that the emperor "specially" prepared for him, then he had better not live up to His Majesty's "good intentions".

Xiao Yan was speechless, holding his head and no longer speaking.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi tilted his head and looked at the place where there was no one on the side, and there was no smile on his face, Xu Lishan and Pei Ze looked at each other.

This is...... Lost your temper? Sure enough, it's someone from outside, and he doesn't know how to hide his feelings in this deep palace.

Xu Lishan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Don't be angry, if the imperial brother really doesn't like to live by himself, then Ming'er can go and tell his father and ask his father to allow you to live with others." ”

"Can I live with someone else?" As soon as he heard this, Xiao Yanzhi immediately looked at Xu Lishan.

Xu Lishan was panicked by Xiao Yanzhi's unconcealed eyes, lowered his eyes and nodded, "Naturally, you can." Originally, only the young royal brothers and royal sisters lived together in twos and threes, but the situation of the imperial brother was special, and the father should be able to approve it. ”

Xiao Yanzhi stared at Xu Lishan and asked, "Then who can I live with?" You? Are you going to live with me? ”

"Huh?" Xu Lishan was stunned again, "I, me? ”

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi nodded very seriously, Xu Li couldn't bite off his tongue.

Why the hell is he talking so much?

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, and then with that pure and good look, he asked, "Don't you want it?" ”

Xu Lishan shook his lips and made a mouth shape several times, but he couldn't say the word "no".

Pei Ze once again came out to help, and said, "If Your Highness really doesn't want to live alone, then the minister can live with Your Highness." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up instantly.

Pei Ze nodded and said, "Don't dare to deceive Your Highness." ”

Pei Ze is still a little unsure of the heart of this great prince, and he can't see through what the eldest prince thinks about this palace, when nothing is still certain, it is much more reassuring to put people by his side than by Xu Lishan's side.

"King Wu Cheng is really a good person!" Xiao Yanzhi praised sincerely.

In this palace, I am afraid that even the emperor's side is not as safe as Pei Ze's side.

Pei Ze is not a prince, although he is friendly with the second prince, but he will not be regarded as an imaginary enemy when he follows Pei Ze. And Pei Ze looks like no one is close all day long, who wants to make a moth on his territory, I am afraid that it will be repaired very badly. Moreover, after observing the road from Bianzhou to Chang'an and then to the palace, Xiao Yanzhi also found that Pei Ze seemed to be very comfortable in the army, and the person in charge of the military was quite secure.

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi's bright smiling face, Pei Ze suddenly frowned.

Why do you think he's been calculated? But there is nothing to gain from following him, so why calculate him for this?

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi's bright smiling face again, Pei Ze felt that he was thinking too much.

The palace is indeed a terrible place in the eyes of some people, and this great prince may not dare to live alone.
