When Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian went to the Liangyi Hall to say goodbye, Xiao Yanzhi was talking with the emperor, and the atmosphere between the father and son seemed to be much closer than yesterday.

The three of them hadn't heard about Xiao Yanzhi's stay in the Liangyi Hall for an afternoon yesterday, so they were very puzzled by the sudden intimacy between the father and son, and after looking at each other, they sat down quietly, and when the emperor was ready, they went to the court together.

On the way to the main hall of the front hall, Xiao Yanzhi walked behind the emperor, Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi's back, and suddenly reached out and dragged Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yan was stunned, slowed down, and retreated to Pei Ze's side.

"Is there something wrong with the prince?"

Pei Ze opened his mouth, but when the words came to his mouth, he only turned around and swallowed them back into his stomach.

Seeing Pei Ze's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xiao Yanzhi blinked suspiciously: "What's wrong?" ”

Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi expressionlessly, and said in a low voice, "It's okay." ”

Looking at Pei Ze suspiciously, Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes and stepped into the main hall of the front hall.

Seeing Pei Ze suddenly grab Xiao Yanzhi, Xu Lishan was shocked, and after the two separated, he immediately stepped forward and asked Pei Ze, "Brother Pei, what did you say to the imperial brother?" ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xu Lishan and said, "It's okay." ”

After speaking, Pei Ze strode into the main hall of the front hall.

Xu Lishan frowned and followed.

Xu Liqian felt that the interaction between the three people in front of him was very interesting, and with a chuckle, he also entered the main hall of the front hall.

There are more things to discuss in the morning than Xiao Yanzhi imagined, it took two hours yesterday, and today it has been delayed until noon, Xiao Yanzhi, who is sitting in a precarious position, already feels that his legs have no feeling, until Zhao Kang reminds the emperor that it is time for lunch, Xiao Yanzhi is relieved.

"Today's lunch is here, and I will use it with all of you." The matter was not yet discussed, and the Emperor did not intend to let his Aiqing go.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Kang has served the emperor for three years, and he also knows the emperor's habits to some extent, so the lunch for many people has already been prepared.

Coming up from the low table, everyone no longer has to sit upright, Xiao Yanzhi held the low table with both hands, moving with difficulty, trying not to alarm the emperor who was thinking about things.

However, Xiao Yanzhi, as the eldest son of the emperor, happened to sit next to the emperor, and when the emperor turned his head when he flipped through the folds, he saw Xiao Yanzhi's appearance of squeezing his eyebrows, and then looked at Xiao Yanzhi's posture, and then smiled.

"Zhao Kang, go and help him, don't embarrass me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Kang was ordered, walked quickly to Xiao Yanzhi's side, and stretched out his hand with a smile, "Your Highness, or you go to the side with the old slave to pinch it?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly waved his hand, grabbed Zhao Kang's arm and turned to kneel to sit, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It'll be fine for a while." ”

Zhao Kang turned his head to look at the emperor, and when he saw the emperor smiling and waving his hand, he retreated with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi secretly pinching his legs under the low table, the emperor shook his head and smiled, and then looked at the elderly in the permanent staff who were also uncomfortable legs, the emperor thought about it, and then said: "I told you before that you don't have to be formal in the Liangyi Palace, but you can't relax without a cover, this low table will be set up like this in the future." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they glanced at Xiao Yanzhi successively, and then thanked them together, while chanting "Thank You Majesty xià Grace", while thinking that the emperor was really good to Xiao Yanzhi, they were also sitting upright before, and their legs and feet were uncomfortable, but they had never seen the emperor pay attention, but at this time, Xiao Yanzhi only attended the early dynasty twice, and the emperor specially changed the rules for Xiao Yanzhi, and it seems that the emperor treats his eldest son is not as indifferent as rumored outside.

After setting up the low table, there were palace mermaids rushing in, putting down the meals in turn, and quickly withdrawing.

Xiao Yanzhi was a little hungry, and it was better to eat than to sit in a daze, but when he picked up the chopsticks, Xiao Yanzhi found that no one moved the chopsticks.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yanzhi also put the chopsticks back in place, and then looked at the emperor sitting on the top and watching intently with the fold, Xiao Yanzhi understood why no one dared to move the chopsticks.

Others were afraid that they would not dare to open this mouth, so Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Zhao Kang, but saw that Zhao Kang secretly shook his head at Xiao Yanzhi, and then Nunu mouthed.

Xiao Yanzhi guessed that Zhao Kang meant that he was not good at speaking, so let him speak.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look to the side, and saw that whether it was Xu Lishan, Pei Ze, or the ministers below, they were all staring at the edge of the low table with their heads down, without exception.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at the other side again, the emperor was holding a book in his hand, and he was reading it intently, but he didn't know how many words were written in the book when he looked at a cup of tea.

Xiao Yanzhi weighed it, and suddenly said: "Father, look at the excerpt or the meal, do you choose one?" ”

When Xiao Yanzhi opened his mouth, Xu Lishan and the three of them looked sideways, but the other ministers lowered their heads.

The emperor was stunned when he heard this, withdrew his gaze from the fold, and turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled at the emperor's gaze and said, "Father, you haven't eaten anything in the morning, and you haven't even drunk saliva this morning when you discuss with adults, and if you don't eat something, you won't be able to stand it." ”

"How can I be so weak?" The emperor's eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was dissatisfied with being interrupted by Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi was not afraid, and replied: "Erchen didn't feel that his father was weak, but Erchen was worried about his father's body. Besides, you're not hungry, but you're hungry. ”

In the latter sentence, Xiao Yanzhi's voice was a little quieter when he said it.

The emperor was stunned, suddenly smiled, and smashed the fold in his hand into Xiao Yanzhi's arms.

"You kid, are you concerned about me or are you angry? You eat when you're hungry, and I didn't stop you! ”

Xiao Yanzhi got up with the fold, walked to the emperor's table, put down the fold, and easily put away the dozen folds on the table and withdrew them under the table.

Seeing this, Zhao Kang immediately walked over with a wooden plate, moved all the folds onto the wooden plate, and then sent it to a table a little farther away to put it.

Xiao Yanzhi watched the plate of folds leave, and said to the emperor with a smile: "Erchen is naturally concerned about his father, and the meal is still good to eat while it is hot." And if you don't use chopsticks, who would dare to eat it? ”

After saying that, Xiao Yanzhi returned to his seat and sat down, looking at the emperor with a smile, as if he was waiting for the order to start the meal.

Thinking that Xiao Yanzhi's appearance was funny, and then glancing at the ministers' untouched meals, the emperor chuckled, and then picked up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat, don't look at me like a puppy." ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled slightly and started eating.

When lunch was almost over, Zhao Kang got a report from a little eunuch, walked quickly to the emperor's side, and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

After hearing this, the emperor showed an expression that had just remembered something, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi: "In other words, the second child has a personal guard by his side, and I have also selected a few for you, and everyone has already come, do you want to choose one?" ”

"Bodyguards?" Xiao Yanzhi frowned.

Xiao Yanzhi guessed that in addition to his personal eunuch and personal palace maid, he should also get a personal guard, originally this position was intended to be reserved for Zhang Shaosheng, after all, it is better for the guard to choose trust, but after listening to Zhang Shaosheng's words last night, Xiao Yanzhi was a little hesitant.

"Father Lao is bothered, so let's go and take a look."
