25. Chapter 25
"Your Highness, didn't you get up?"
Outside the door of the east wing, Lian Sheng and Xiushui looked at each other in confusion.
Why hasn't Your Highness gotten up today?
Xiao Yanzhi in the room came back to his senses, got out of bed past Pei Ze, grabbed Pei Ze's clothes and threw them under the bed.
"You go down too!" After whispering to Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhi walked towards the door of the room.
Pei Ze naturally knew how much commotion it would cause if he was discovered, and although he was dissatisfied, he still neatly climbed under the bed.
Seeing that Pei Ze was hiding, Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, put on a faint smile, and opened the door of the east wing.
"Xiushui is here too?"
Xiao Yanzhi turned around and returned to the house, and Lian Sheng and Xiushui also led people in.
Xiushui still led the palace maid to clean up the bed, and Lian Sheng took someone to serve Xiao Yanzhi to wash and change clothes.
"Your Highness, is this just rising?" Lian Sheng asked curiously while sorting out Xiao Yanzhi's clothes.
Glancing at the bed, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Yes, if you didn't shout, I'm afraid I wouldn't have woken up." ”
Lian Sheng said with a smile: "This is good, His Highness got up early in the past two days after entering the palace, and the slaves and maids are still worried that His Highness will not sleep well after changing the environment." ”
Glancing at the bed again, Xiao Yanzhi replied Lian Sheng: "It's okay, it's just that I got used to getting up early when I was at home, and I will sleep heavily today, probably because I talked with my father for too long last night." ”
"After returning to Wanchun Palace, the slave maid also chatted more with His Highness, so that His Highness could sleep more deeply."
Xiao Yanzhi smiled.
Suddenly remembering that Pei Ze was also going to greet the emperor in the morning, and then go to the morning court together, Xiao Yanzhi glanced under the bed for the third time and asked Lian Sheng: "Is my father up?" ”
"It should be up," Lian Sheng replied, "The slave maid just saw Lord Zhao enter His Majesty's bedroom. ”
"Then let's get over it." Just after finishing it, Xiao Yanzhi raised his feet and walked out, "Xiushui, go to the small kitchen of the Liangyi Hall to see if you can make some convenient breakfast, together with the two highnesses and King Wucheng." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." After receiving the order, Xiushui sped up the speed of tidying up the bed, took care of it after a while, and led a few palace maids to leave in a hurry.
Hearing that there were no more footsteps near the east wing, Pei Zecai rolled out from under the bed with a depressed face.
There is no benefit to be gained, why does he suffer this sin?
casually put his clothes on his body, Pei Ze looked out of the door, slipped away from the back window of the east wing, avoided the patrol guards, and returned to the Daji Palace.
In the Daji Palace, Xu Ren was guarding the door again for some reason, and when he saw Pei Ze, who was disheveled, his eyes widened in astonishment.
"Lord Wang, you ...... Are you going to ...... Which concubine are you going to talk to, right? ”
"Any more mouths will pull out your tongue!" Pei Ze glared at Xu Ren fiercely, strode into the main house of the Daji Palace, and quickly washed and changed his clothes.
Xu Ren closed his mouth, honestly helped Pei Ze get some clothes, and couldn't help but say more when he sent Pei Ze away.
"Lord Wang, next time you do that, what is that, come back early, let Your Majesty catch it."
Pei Ze's footsteps stopped, and he turned to glare at Xu Ren.
Xu Ren hurriedly closed his mouth and lowered his head in a obedient manner: "Lord Wang, it's too late to ask for peace." ”
Pei Ze snorted coldly and strode away.
Pei Ze was naturally the last to arrive at the Liangyi Palace, and as soon as he entered the door, Xiao Yanzhi, Xu Lishan, and Xu Liqian all looked at him.
Pei Ze secretly glanced at Xiao Yan, pretended to stride forward calmly, and knelt down to greet the emperor.
After the emperor who was changing clothes behind the screen heard Pei Ze's voice, he asked curiously: "Pei Ze, you have always come with the second child, why is it late today?" ”
"I accidentally slept on it, please forgive me." It was indeed accidentally slept, although it was on the bed in the east wing of the Liangyi Palace.
Hearing this explanation, the emperor chuckled twice: "It's rare that you will be careless." Get up and sit down. In other words, let people make breakfast, eat some, and save yourself from having to spend the morning hungry with me. ”
"Your Majesty, Your Highness Xià." After answering, Pei Ze returned to his seat and sat down.
Xu Lishan gently bumped Pei Ze's elbow with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Have you slept?" ”
"Yes." Pei Ze nodded.
Although Xu Lishan felt that the matter of "sleeping" should not have happened to Pei Ze, since Pei Ze said so, Xu Lishan couldn't say "I doubt you" openly, but secretly guessed why Pei Ze had slept with him.
When the emperor changed his clothes, the palace people also brought breakfast in due course.
Although Xiao Yanzhi's order was to simply make some convenient food, the chefs in the palace didn't dare to take it seriously, just a bowl of porridge, which also added a lot of good ingredients, and also served exquisite side dishes.
After drinking two mouthfuls of porridge, the emperor suddenly said, "In four days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?" Have you figured out what you're going to do? ”
The court has a day off on the Mid-Autumn Festival, although it is a vacation, but for Xu Lishan and the three of them, this holiday is the same as not, there is an emperor's family banquet in the palace that day, and they all have to participate, but they don't need to get up so early.
And Xiao Yanzhi didn't have any plans, raised his head and looked left and right, then lowered his eyes and continued to drink porridge.
Xu Liqian answered the emperor first: "Erchen wants to invite the eldest brother to wander around Chang'an City, and then find a place to hold a reception banquet for the eldest brother." ”
"Looking for a place?" The emperor looked at Xu Liqian with a smile, "What are you looking for?" ”
Xu Liqian glanced at Xiao Yanzhi and said with a wicked smile: "It depends on what kind of place the eldest brother likes, anyway, we have everything in Chang'an City." ”
"Look like you've been to a lot of places." The Emperor teased.
Xu Liqian smiled and didn't explain in detail, this kind of thing, the men would just understand.
The emperor smiled and didn't ask.
"You went with me. What about the second child? What are your plans? ”
When he heard Xu Liqian say that he wanted to take Xiao Yanzhi to Chang'an, Xu Lishan was anxious, although he didn't have this plan, but as soon as he heard Xu Liqian say, he knew that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Xiao Yanzhi. However, in front of the emperor, he could only suppress this anxiety in his heart, and when the emperor asked, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Erchen thinks the same way."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Pei Ze again, and asked, "Could it be that Pei Ze thinks the same way?" ”
Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan and nodded, "The minister does think so too. ”
The emperor laughed and said, "In other words, I didn't expect you to be quite rare?" So what's your plan? ”
Xiao Yanzhi glanced around and said, "Erchen didn't think about how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
"Why haven't you thought about it?" The emperor was curious, "Then how did you spend your previous years?" ”
Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile: "The New Year's festival is the best time for business, and Erchen hasn't had many festivals in recent years." ”
"En......" After a moment of silence, the emperor smiled, "Then you will have a good time this year, and let them lead you around Chang'an City." Don't think about taking words to those smoky places, and return to the palace at night, and this reception banquet will be set up in the palace. ”
"Yes." The four of them all went down in unison.
