Lian Sheng first led Xiao Yanzhi to the emperor's bedroom in the Liangyi Palace, when Xiao Yanzhi arrived, Pei Ze, the king of Wucheng, Xu Lishan, the second prince and Xu Liqian, the third prince, were already there, and a huge screen separated the big house into two parts, and the big bed behind the screen and the emperor who was changing clothes could be vaguely seen.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced left and right, then walked to a similar position, knelt down and greeted the emperor.

Xiao Yanzhi's words fell for a while, and then he heard the emperor's calm voice coming through the screen.

"In other words, did you sleep well last night?"

These words were a word of concern, but when they came out of the emperor's mouth and then into Xiao Yan's ears, there was only routine alienation.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, and then said, "Thanksgiving...... Father's blessing, I slept well. ”

Pei Ze silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, hiding his gloomy face for a moment.

Xiao Yanzhi slept well, but he didn't sleep all night!

"That's good," the emperor walked out from behind the screen and looked down at Xiao Yanzhi, "Father is still worried that you won't be used to living in a different place." ”

As soon as the emperor came out, Xu Lishan and the three stood up.

"Uh......" Xiao Yanzhi glanced up at the emperor, then lowered his head again, and said, "Wanchun Hall is too big, and the things in there are too precious, I ...... Erchen is really a little unaccustomed. But thinking that those were all prepared by the father for the son, the son felt that the father was bothered. ”

This is the first time that the emperor has listened to Xiao Yanzhi's words, and unlike yesterday's submissive promises in the main hall, today's emperor feels that Xiao Yanzhi is quite decent, and his words are not like those of the mountain villager, as if he is still educated, it seems that he was just too hasty yesterday and was not prepared to deal with it.

"Get up." As he spoke, the emperor actually bent down to help Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yan was stunned, so he put his arm on the emperor's arm and stood up with a smile, as if he didn't know how precious the emperor's support was.

The emperor also seemed that his support was not very precious, so he took Xiao Yanzhi's hand again, walked out, and said as he walked: "Sure enough, people rely on clothes, change their clothes, and look much better." Let's go, my father will take you to the early dynasty to have a look. ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and honestly followed behind the emperor.

Take him to the early dynasty to see? To put it nicely, it was just to let him show his face in front of the courtiers, confirming that the emperor who was in love with him did bring back to the palace the only son of his wife, and did not dislike this concubine for being rude.

Therefore, in the early dynasties, Xiao Yanzhi only accepted the emperor's reward, and then sat in the position of the eldest prince.

It wasn't until the emperor got up to leave that Xiao Yanzhi came back to his senses.

The emperor didn't have anyone to follow, so whether it was Xiao Yanzhi or Pei Ze, they could go back to their respective homes.

Xiao Yanzhi really wanted to leave this hall immediately, after all, it was not a pleasant thing to be watched by people like a rare animal, but he had been sitting on his knees all morning, and his legs were numb, Xiao Yanzhi didn't dare to move, let alone stand up quickly.

After delaying this moment, someone opened his mouth and congratulated Xiao Yanzhi: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness on returning to the palace." ”

Someone took the lead, and the permanent counselors who had to come to the Liangyi Hall every day to discuss matters congratulated Xiao Yanzhi one after another.

Xiao Yanzhi raised his head when he heard this, and only then did he find that there was only one emperor and the people who served the emperor in this hall, and the officials who came to the court did not move, Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian did not move, and everyone was looking at him.

Xiao Yanzhi pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a dry smile, "Thank you."

"The minister has been looking forward to His Royal Highness's return to the palace since a year ago, and finally hopes that His Royal Highness will return safely, and the old minister can be regarded as living up to the spirit of the first queen in the sky." The old man who spoke first spoke spoke again, "And His Royal Highness will be crowned King of Shu as soon as he returns to the court, and the old minister congratulates His Highness." ”

Automatically ignoring the second half of the sentence, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help but look at the old man with a kind face, and asked, "Do you recognize the first mother?" ”

Shang Shu Zuo Cheng Qin Tai nodded, and said with a look of nostalgia: "I think that when His Royal Highness was just born, he was only so old, cousin her...... Ah, it was the first queen who liked to take a walk with Her Royal Highness the most, and found her majesty all the way from home to where Her Majesty was, and Her Royal Highness's appearance at that time was very cute. ”

Cousin? Xiao Yanzhi couldn't help but look at Qin Tai suspiciously.

This old man is his mother's cousin? But why have I never heard my mother mention it? Mother's relatives are already scarce, and when the hometown was hit by a disaster, they all died almost, where is there a cousin? He had never heard his mother mention it. Moreover, it was this old man who reminded His Majesty a year ago that he was going to call him back to the palace?

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Qin Tai and asked suspiciously, "My lord is my cousin?" ”

Qin Tai nodded, glanced at the other colleagues, and said to Xiao Yan: "Does Your Highness want to get up first?" ”

"Up?" Xiao Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that Qin Tai was asking him to stand up, Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, and said abruptly, "Uh...... I can't get up......"

Everyone was stunned, and Pei Ze and the three of them looked at Xiao Yanzhi in confusion.

Xiao Yanzhi had to explain further: "My legs are numb...... Can't stand up......"

Everyone was dumbfounded. Which dynasty's prince would kneel until his legs were numb in the early dynasty? Sure enough, I grew up in the people, but it's so useless.

Xu Lishan hesitated, but still stood up, stretched out his hand to Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "Brother Huang, I'll help you up." ”

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Xu Lishan and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it'll be fine in a while." ”

Xu Liqian tilted his head to Xiao Yanzhi's ear and whispered: "Brother Huang can't afford it, adults can't get up." ”

This is the rule of the early dynasty, after sending the emperor away, the princes must get up, and the courtiers can get up.

"And this rule?" Xiao Yan was startled, and hurriedly helped Xu Lishan's hand to stand up.

But his legs were still a little disobedient, Xiao Yanzhi shook and hit Xu Lishan.

"Brother Huang beware!" Xu Lishan subconsciously reached out to hug Xiao Yanzhi, and this hug was stunned.

Why is this royal brother's waist so thin? How can a man's waist be so thin?

Thinking like this, Xu Lishan touched Xiao Yanzhi's waist twice as if to confirm.

Xu Liqian and Pei Ze stood up one after another, and the ministers also stood up one after another.

Seeing that Xu Lishan was still standing with Xiao Yanzhi in his arms, Pei Ze frowned, took two steps forward, held Xiao Yanzhi's other hand, and pulled Xiao Yanzhi out of Xu Lishan's arms.

"Is Your Highness's leg still numb?" Before the words fell, Pei Ze's hand reached down and pinched Xiao Yanzhi's thigh.

"Don't touch! …… You bastard! Xiao Yanzhi's other hand was also instantly withdrawn from Xu Lishan's hand, grabbed Pei Ze's shoulder, and pinched it to death.

Xu Liqian turned to the ministers cleverly and said, "I'm sorry to let you sit for so long, the eldest brother has just returned to the palace, and it is the first time to go to the court, it is inevitable that there will be some discomfort, and I ask you to forgive me, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Those who can become permanent counselors are all quite relied on by their fathers, and they are proud, but they can't afford to offend.

Sure enough, hearing Xu Liqian's words, the eyebrows of the few people who were still displeased stretched slightly, and after a few polite words with Xu Liqian, they left the Liangyi Palace, but Qin Tai was still standing on the hall and did not move, as if he wanted to wait for Xiao Yanzhi to chat a few more words.

Xu Liqian didn't know what Xiao Yanzhi was going to do, and he couldn't let Qin Tai go, so he could only let him stand like that.
