In the crape myrtle hall, Xiao Yanzhi sat quietly, a low table in front of him, a cup of tea and an incense burner on the table, a small wind stove was placed in the middle of the low table, the candle flame in the wind stove was shaking, and the teapot mouth sitting on the wind stove was steaming, and then looking at the opposite side was another cup of tea, and then a slender jade hand coated with Dan came into sight and took away the cup of tea.

Jiang Wan took a sip of tea, and then said softly: "The tea leaves here in this palace are all appreciated by His Majesty, I heard that they are all tribute tea offered by Jiangnan, Your Highness tastes it, and sees how it tastes compared to what His Highness has drunk in Jiangnan?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled faintly when he heard this, and said leisurely: "Just smell the fragrance of this tea, you know that it is the best that cannot be found on the market, and the things that pay tribute to the royal family have always been unique. ”

When the words landed, Xiao Yanzhi picked up the teacup, sniffed the tea with great enjoyment, and then took a sip of tea soup, and when he lowered his eyes, Xiao Yanzhi complained bitterly in his heart.

He just ate two more bites at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, why did the emperor arrange for him to learn court etiquette again? And to learn etiquette, to learn etiquette, why arrange for him to come to Jiang Guifei's Ziwei Hall to learn? The emperor is still addicted to it?

Putting down the teacup, Xiao Yanzhi's eyes were full of gentle smiles.

After carefully looking at Xiao Yanzhi's appearance, Jiang Wan found that Xiao Yanzhi and the emperor actually have similarities, although it is not obvious, but the outline of the emperor's facial features when he was young is like Xiao Yanzhi.

It's just that the emperor joined the army when he was a teenager, and when he met her, he led the army to rebel and was high-spirited, and there was a decisive domineering spirit all over his body.

However, Xiao Yanzhi is a Jiangnan trader, presumably accustomed to welcoming people with a smiling face, and the whole person looks kind and kind, especially the indissolvable gentleness in his eyes is even more like a spring breeze, which is diametrically opposed to the emperor's temperament, which makes Xiao Yanzhi not look like the emperor's biological son.

Putting down the teacup, Jiang Wan smiled and said: "Although His Majesty instructed the palace to arrange someone to teach His Royal Highness the etiquette of the court, but the palace looks at His Royal Highness naturally and is more like a prince than Shan'er in his gestures, where is there any need for someone to teach him again?" ”

"The concubine has won the award," Xiao Yanzhi lowered his eyes slightly, "Compared with the second emperor's brother, I am still far behind, after all, the second emperor's brother was personally taught by his father, and he must be the most suitable among the brothers." ”

"Your Highness is too modest," Jiang Wan chuckled, "Shan'er, he's good at everything, but he's stupid, and he won't say a word of flattery, this palace just hopes that His Majesty won't misunderstand Shan'er." ”

"Knowing the son is Mo Ruo's father, Jiang Guifei doesn't need to worry." Don't tell him if you're worried, he can't help with this.

Jiang Wan sighed and said, "How can you not worry, there is only such a son in this palace, I don't expect him to get ahead, I just want him to be safe and secure in this life." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi secretly sneered.

If Jiang Guifei really only wants Xu Lishan to be safe in this life, then Xu Lishan will definitely be able to live a leisurely, harmonious and beautiful life, but it's a pity......

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi didn't react after hearing this, Jiang Wan breathed a long sigh of relief, smiled, and said: "That's it, what are you doing with this palace and His Royal Highness, it's been too long since anyone can talk to this palace." His Majesty said that he wanted the palace to arrange someone to teach His Majesty the rules of the court, but the palace felt that His Royal Highness knew everything, just depending on how he felt and whether he wanted to do it, so the palace did not do that annoying thing, so he told His Highness about the interesting things in the palace that the palace had experienced in the past three or four years. ”

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, and he was quite surprised in his heart, but he also smiled and nodded: "Concubine Jiang is really understanding, then there is Concubine Jiang Guifei." ”

What happened in the palace, what is interesting? That pile, piece by piece, is to say it for fun, but there is a hidden way to survive in the palace, and Jiang Guifei, as the head of the six palaces with no name, most of the things she will experience are also major events, and it is beneficial and harmless for him to listen to a few "interesting things". If Jiang Guifei really said it to him sincerely, then he still has to remember Jiang Guifei's favor.

Jiang Wan smiled softly, and told Xiao Yanzhi about the things she knew in the harem, Xiao Yanzhi listened carefully, and occasionally echoed a few words, as if she was really listening to Jiang Guifei's jokes.

The two of them said this until noon, and when Zhao Kang came to Ziwei Hall to pick up people, the two of them were still happy about a sentence.

Seeing Zhao Kang, Jiang Wan smiled, also stopped the topic, and ridiculed Xiao Yandao: "I haven't seen you for a while, Your Highness misses Your Highness, Your Highness can go with Zhao Kang quickly, don't let Your Majesty wait for a hurry, blame the palace for holding his precious son back." ”

"Where does my father miss me, he is afraid that I will cause trouble, so he specially asked Zhao Kang to come and see me." Xiao Yanzhi got up with a smile and bowed to Jiang Guifei, "I have been disturbing for a long time today, and what Jiang Guifei said has benefited me a lot, thank you." ”

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Your Highness is polite, go quickly, Your Majesty estimates that you want to dine with Your Highness." ”

"Farewell." Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and left with Zhao Kang.

Out of the gate of the Ziwei Palace, Xiao Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, pondering what Jiang Wan had just said, and walked towards the Liangyi Hall accompanied by Zhao Kang, Lian Sheng and He Yan.

But as he walked, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly felt like he was being watched, and the sight was too strong for Xiao Yanzhi to ignore.

Stopping and looking around, Xiao Yanzhi wanted to see who was watching him, but when he turned his head, Xiao Yanzhi found that today's harem seemed to have become more lively, and not far from him there were palace concubines gathered in twos and threes, and they seemed to be walking together, but they seemed to be secretly looking at him?

Xiao Yanzhi asked Zhao Kangdao: "Lord Zhao, what happened in the harem today?" Why is it so lively? ”

Zhao Kang also looked left and right, shook his head and said, "If you go back to Your Highness, this old slave really hasn't heard of it." When the old slave came, they were already here. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyebrows raised slightly.

They were already there when Zhao Kang came? They've been walking a little longer...... That's it, it's not about him.

Pouting, Xiao Yanzhi continued to walk towards the Liangyi Palace.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't take this matter to heart, but Zhao Kang was worried about it in his heart.

Before, he only thought that these women were walking, and he didn't think much about it, but he was just curious about when the relationship between the women in the harem became so good, but now he followed His Royal Highness out, and then looked at the appearance of these women, he could be regarded as knowing why these women gathered from their respective palaces to the vicinity of Ziwei Palace.

It's just that they met His Royal Highness at the palace banquet last night, why are they still thinking about it?

Lian Sheng was also curious about why these palace concubines scattered near the Ziwei Hall for a walk, so Lian Sheng, who was following Xiao Yanzhi, divided a trace of energy to pay attention to those palace concubines, and when he found that no matter how far they went, those palace concubines were always hovering not far behind, Lian Sheng suddenly realized, and then he understood that the reason why these palace concubines came to the vicinity of Ziwei Hall at the risk of being caught by Jiang Guifei and sarcastically was to come to see Xiao Yanzhi.

Lian Sheng hesitated, but still took a step forward, and whispered behind Xiao Yanzhi: "Your Highness Qiqi, those concubines seem to have been following behind, Your Highness, look at ......"

"Huh?" Xiao Yan stopped suddenly, turned around and looked back, and at this glance, he found that it was really what Lian Sheng said, "What are they doing behind them?" ”

"Slave maid...... Ignorance. Lian Sheng shook his head, not daring to say his conjecture.

Xiao Yanzhi pondered for a moment, and then instructed Lian Sheng: "Lian Sheng, you go and ask them to see if there is anything wrong." ”

"Huh? Ask......" Lian Sheng glanced at Zhao Kang in embarrassment, and saw that Zhao Kang nodded slightly, before he responded, "Yes, the slave will go and ask." ”

Turning around, Lian Sheng looked around, and trotted in the direction of several of the palace concubines, but Lian Sheng only ran halfway, and the palace concubine seemed to sense Lian Sheng's intentions, and after exclaiming, she turned around and ran, and laughed step by step. turned his head to look in other directions, and after winning a row, he found that the other palace concubines had also disappeared.

Stopped, Lian Sheng turned around, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi helplessly.

Xiao Yanzhi was also confused by this situation.

Zhao Kang coughed dryly, and said to Xiao Yanzhi embarrassedly: "Your Highness, since they ran away, there should be nothing important to find Your Highness, Your Majesty is still waiting in the Liangyi Palace, let's go quickly." ”

"Well, let's go." beckoned to Lian Sheng to come back, and Xiao Yanzhi walked quickly towards the Liangyi Palace.

Walk fast, Xiao Yanzhi walked out of the realm of the harem after a while, and when the palace concubines who were hiding came out again, they couldn't find Xiao Yanzhi's shadow anymore, so they could only go back to the dormitory with regret, thinking about coming again at this time tomorrow, anyway, they had nothing to do every day, instead of spending time in the dormitory in a daze, it was better to come out and bask in the sun, take a look at the demeanor of His Royal Highness, even if they can only look at it from afar, it is pleasing to the eye.

By the time Xiao Yanzhi arrived at the Liangyi Palace, the emperor had been waiting in the apse for a long time.

"Why did you come?" Waving his hand to exempt Xiao Yanzhi from the salute, the emperor smiled and watched Xiao Yanzhi take a seat.

Xiao Yanzhi sat down with a grin, pouted, and said, "Isn't it all because the father and emperor have arranged too many things for his sons?" Father, can the sons and daughters not go to Concubine Jiang Guifei? ”

"Did she embarrass you?"

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "That's not true, but it doesn't guarantee that it won't be there all the time." ”

The emperor chuckled twice when he heard this, and said, "It was she herself who said that she wanted to take this opportunity to get to know you better." ”

"Father, this is the wind blowing by the pillow and softening the roots of his ears?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor dissatisfied.

"Nonsense!" The emperor glared at Xiao Yan, "Since she invited you over by herself, she didn't dare to make anything wrong with you and send you to her, and the Jiang family would not trouble you for the time being." ”

Hearing the emperor mention the Jiang family, Xiao Yanzhi asked curiously, "What?" What did the Jiang family say to their father? ”

"What can you say?" The emperor threw a piece of meat into his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "Isn't it because I'm afraid that the cooked duck will fly?" ”

"Alas," Xiao Yanzhi sighed and said, "What do you have to do to make them feel at ease?" ”

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "I don't die, they can't rest assured." ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and did not answer.

The emperor suddenly let out a long sigh and said, "If the second child's mind is half active with you, I will be relieved." ”

Xiao Yanzhi thought for a while and said: "The second emperor's younger brother is still young, and he hasn't experienced much, if his father is willing to send him out of Chang'an to hone for a few years, he will definitely grow." ”

There are too many people in Chang'an City who can give Xu Lishan shelter, only one Jiang Guifei will help Xu Lishan remove obstacles, and he will not be wronged, and Pei Ze will escort him, it is not bad that he has not grown into a second Qin Fengming. Thinking that he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he was also very stupid and naïve, and now that he was the second eighteen years old, several years have passed, can his mind not be active?

The emperor pondered for a long time, nodded and sighed: "In the past few years, I have been tired of court affairs, because I have neglected the cultivation of the second and third children, and only think about finding someone to teach them everything that can be taught to them, but I forgot that there are some things that cannot be learned without experiencing them once." ”

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly regretted that he had said this more.

If the emperor really sent Xu Lishan to the poor countryside where he went to train for a few years, Jiang Guifei would not have to hate him to death?

"Fathers don't have to worry like this, everyone has their own lives, and children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren."

The emperor rolled his eyes and said, "Can I not worry about the country I have worked so hard to build?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Yanzhi shrugged, "By the way, Father, why don't you see the two imperial brothers today?" ”

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were always five people dining together, why are there only two people left with him and the emperor today?

When the emperor heard this, he glared at Xiao Yan again, and said, "I don't know what you can write down in your heart!" At the end of the month, the draft girls will be selected, and these few days, the show girls from all over the country should go to Chang'an, in order to ensure the security of Chang'an City, they are all busy, just you are idle all day, and you think you have a lot of things! ”

Xiao Yanzhi immediately closed his mouth obediently and concentrated on eating, as if the food cooked by the imperial kitchen today was particularly appetizing, causing the emperor to roll his eyes several times.

After eating and drinking enough in the Liangyi Palace, Xiao Yanzhi took He Yan and Lian Sheng to the Hongwen Pavilion, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Ji Wencheng sitting behind the desk as usual and looking at the bamboo slips.

In the past, Xiao Yanzhi had never paid attention to what the bamboo slips Ji Wencheng was looking at, but after a closer look today, Xiao Yanzhi found that the bamboo slips spread out in front of Ji Wencheng were not the volumes he had translated before the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Xiao Yanzhi simply regretted it until his intestines were blue.

There is no drama script in the Hongwen Museum, so he found some bamboo slips written in foreign languages to pass the time, so why did he have to mark it after he read it? Is he learned? How can he scribble on the bamboo slips that people have worked so hard to carve? Is he cheap? Isn't it cheap?

Sitting down opposite Ji Wencheng, Xiao Yanzhi sighed: "Mr. Ji has hurt me so badly!" ”

Ji Wencheng was stunned, looked up at Xiao Yanzhi with puzzled eyes, and said slowly: "The old man is frightened, why did His Highness say this?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled helplessly: "Those bamboo slips that I was bored with before, Mr. Ji has seen them all?" ”

Ji Wencheng nodded and said, "I've seen it, and the old man is also watching." ”

Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Then Mr. Ji told his father about this?" ”

Ji Wencheng nodded honestly again and said, "Well, I said it." ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled bitterly: "Now that Qin Fengming, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, made a mistake and was dismissed, my father ordered me to temporarily replace Qin Fengming. ”

Hearing this, Ji Wencheng thought about it for a long time, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this was a good thing, how could he be said by His Highness as if a catastrophe was coming?

Ji Wencheng stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and felt that Xiao Yanzhi's disgusted appearance did not look like a fake, so he asked suspiciously: "The old man doesn't understand what His Highness means, His Majesty trusts His Highness, so he entrusts him with a heavy responsibility, which is a good thing." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, and could only sigh: "That's it, what is Mr. going to talk about today?" ”

Ji Wencheng stared at Xiao Yanzhi again, and then slowly put away the bamboo slips, took out the rice paper folded into squares from under the bookcase, and put it on the table and slowly unfolded it.

"I don't give a lecture today, the old man has also told His Highness a lot of things, I want to take a test for His Highness today, and see how much His Highness has learned."

Ji Wencheng said this lightly, but Xiao Yanzhi felt like a thunderbolt on a sunny day after hearing it.

"Test ...... Take a test? "He hadn't heard of an exam!

"How?" Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was frightened, Ji Wencheng was also stunned, "Didn't the old man tell His Highness?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head violently.

Ji Wencheng squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then said leisurely: "That's probably because the old man forgot to inform His Highness, he should have notified His Highness before the Mid-Autumn Festival, so that His Highness could have time to review." But that's not important, Your Highness, please start answering. ”

As he spoke, Ji Wencheng also sent the pen and ink to Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi pinched the brush that was shoehorned by Ji Wencheng, and looked at the neatly written line of small characters on the rice paper with a dull gaze, and his brain was blank.

He knew all the words, but how did he not know them when they were connected?

"Sir, this ......" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Ji Wencheng pitifully.

"Huh?" Ji Wencheng also looked at Xiao Yanzhi, "Is there anything Your Highness doesn't understand?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi opened his mouth, but he was embarrassed to say that he didn't understand anything.

Looking at the snow-white rice paper again, Xiao Yanzhi almost wanted to cry without tears.

When he took the exam that year, there were still multiple-choice questions to fight for luck, but there was only one question and answer question on this paper, how should he answer it?

Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yanzhi was ready to be scolded and put down the pen.

"Sir, the student is too stupid to think of how to answer."

"Can't think of it?" Ji Wencheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a surprised expression, and then looked at the title he had written by himself on the rice paper, "Your Highness...... Think again? ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head with a smile and said, "The student really can't think of it. ”

Ji Wencheng is in a difficult situation.

This test was actually arranged by His Royal Highness, and when he took the bamboo slips translated by His Royal Highness to meet His Majesty, His Majesty said that he wanted to know about His Highness's learning progress, and asked him to arrange a test from time to time, and then submit it to His Majesty.

Considering the special situation of His Royal Highness, he specially chose a simple question for this exam, but if His Highness can't even answer this, how should he explain it to His Majesty?

Ji Wencheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly tore off the part of the rice paper with the words written on it, threw it aside casually, and said: "Then, please ask Your Highness to write a poem with the theme of summer, and a quatrain of seven words...... Five-word quatrains are also acceptable. ”

Reduce the number of words, Your Highness should be able to write it, right?

Xiao Yanyi smiled when he heard this, and smiled bitterly.

He doesn't know any of the seven words or five words, what's the use of Ji Wencheng only reducing the number of words for him? Or plagiarize one? Forget it, don't submit what he wrote to the emperor after that, and the emperor mistakenly thinks that he still has the talent to compose poetry, then he will be miserable. There are so many banquets throughout the year, and it may not be enough for him to memorize all three hundred capitals, not to mention that he still doesn't want to ask for trouble if he wants to carry one capital for half a day.

"Sir forgive me, the student has no talent for poetry."

"Then, what will you do, Your Highness?" Ji Wencheng suddenly grabbed the bamboo slip that he had just thrown away, "Could it be that His Highness can only translate foreign languages?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi was full of helplessness.

His Chinese is also very good, but he can understand those poems and songs, the Four Books and the Five Classics, but he can't understand them thoroughly, and Ji Wencheng's questions are even more profound, he really doesn't have that attainment. And he can only understand those ancient foreign languages with a guess.

In the end, it's still his cheapness......

But Ji Wencheng took Xiao Yanzhi's smile as a default, and stared at Xiao Yanzhi dumbfounded for a long time before he spoke: "Your Highness, this ...... It can be regarded as a talent, and few people can achieve such an achievement as His Highness has now. ”

The culture of the people is not clear, but the culture of the foreign race can be understood a lot, this highness really grew up in Jiangnan? He hasn't lived in the Western Regions? Didn't you come from a big food country? None of the relatives are Turkic or Uighur? Do you have friends from Silla? Being able to understand so many foreign languages at a young age is really amazing!

Xiao Yanzhi only smiled silently.

Let Ji Wencheng guess for himself.

Ji Wencheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi again, suddenly took the brush in front of Xiao Yanzhi, quickly wrote a few lines of small characters on the rice paper, and said: "In this case, the old man will only give His Highness a few simple questions, as long as His Highness notes what the old man said, he will definitely be able to answer it." ”

Xiao Yanzhi supported his forehead.

He hadn't listened carefully to Ji Wencheng's lecture at all, what could he write down?

Ji Wencheng, who had written the title, looked up and saw Xiao Yanzhi holding his forehead and sighing, Ji Wencheng was stunned, and he understood immediately.

With a drop of the pen, Ji Wencheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi angrily, and said angrily: "The old man has always thought that His Royal Highness is a loyal and honest person, but it turns out that His Royal Highness is just playing with the old man!" Your Highness has never heard the old man give a lecture, what are you doing in Hongwenkan?! ”

Most people who do learning don't like others to despise learning, Ji Wencheng was originally a stubborn literati, and he cares more about such things.

Xiao Yanzhi was shocked, and he hurriedly picked up the pen and said with a sneer: "Mr. is angry, it is the student who is stupid and can't understand what Mr. said, and the student ......."

"The old man doesn't listen!" Ji Wencheng interrupted Xiao Yanzhi's words, and then changed his usual slow and logical appearance, stood up suddenly, pulled his legs and ran outside, "The old man is going to tell His Majesty, the old man can't teach His Highness!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yanzhi was dumbfounded.

Why did this go to the emperor? Isn't he just unable to answer the questions in the exam!

Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly got up and chased out: "Mr. Ji! Mr. Ji, wait for me! ”

He Yan and Lian Sheng, who had been guarding the door, were startled by this scene, but when they saw Xiao Yanzhi chasing after Ji Wencheng, they also chased after him.

Seeing Ji Wencheng running in front of him step by step, Xiao Yan's heart trembled, for fear that Ji Wencheng would not be able to run well and fall out again.

"He Yan, catch up and protect Mr. Ji!"

How could an old man who sat in the Hongwen Pavilion run so fast? It's just that he ran a dozen steps first, why can't he catch up?

"Yes, Your Highness!"

He Yan immediately accelerated to catch up, but Ji Wencheng ran fiercely, and He Yan didn't dare to stop him, so he could only run while hindering Ji Wencheng, but it made Ji Wencheng slow down.

"Mr. Ji!" Xiao Yanzhi made a sudden stop and turned to Ji Wencheng, and finally stopped the person, "Mr. Ji is angry, the student knows his mistake, let's go back to Hongwen Hall first, okay?" ”

Ji Wencheng also stood sideways, blowing his beard and glaring angrily: "Not good! The old man wants to meet His Majesty! Meet Your Majesty! ”

Before the words fell, Ji Wencheng wanted to bypass the interception of Xiao Yanzhi, He Yan and Lian Sheng.

But without Xiao Yanzhi's order, He Yan and Lian Sheng dared to let Ji Wencheng leave, but they were afraid of hurting Ji Wencheng, so they could only surround Ji Wencheng and hurriedly block it.

Seeing Ji Wencheng jumping up and down on the ground in high spirits, Xiao Yanzhi helplessly supported his forehead.

What a sin he has done!

When Pei Ze hurriedly passed by here, he was naturally attracted by the commotion of a few people on Xiao Yanzhi's side, and when he turned his head and saw Xiao Yanzhi standing there, Pei Ze strode over.

"What is Your Highness doing here?"

At first glance, when he heard Pei Ze's voice, Xiao Yanzhi was startled, and when he turned around to see Pei Ze himself, Xiao Yanzhi immediately leaned over.

"Brother Yi, lean on me, my head hurts." Xiao Yanzhi's arm leaned on Pei Ze's shoulder, looking physically and mentally exhausted.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze looked at Ji Wencheng who was jumping up and down, and said with a smile, "How did you provoke Ji Wencheng?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi said tiredly: "Mr. Ji's question can't be answered." ”

Pei Ze chuckled, raised his hand and knocked on Xiao Yanzhi's head with the fold in his hand, and said, "That's it, it's bad luck if you can't answer Mr. Ji's question." ”

Xiao Yanzhi raised his head when he heard this, looked at Pei Ze curiously and asked, "Brother Yi has also experienced it?" ”

Pei Ze nodded.

When he first entered the palace, it was Ji Wencheng who told them history books and geography.

Seeing Pei Ze nodding, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Knowing that there are others who have experienced the same thing as me, my heart is balanced." ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "Qin Tai is there for His Majesty." ”

The implication of this is that even if Ji Wencheng goes, I am afraid that he will not be able to see His Majesty at this time.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up, and he immediately waved his hand to He Yan and Lian Sheng, and said, "Let Mr. Ji go over." ”

He Yan and Lian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly dodged away, and made way for Ji Wencheng.

But Ji Wencheng didn't move, he looked at Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze who were together suspiciously, and felt that there must be something greasy in this, so Ji Wencheng suddenly turned around and walked towards Hongwen Pavilion.

"Humph! The old man suddenly remembered that there was still something to do in the Hongwen Pavilion, and he would talk about it tomorrow when he met His Majesty. Before the words fell, Ji Wencheng had already walked away.

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned, and looked at Ji Wencheng's back dumbfounded: "...... This old man! ”

Pei Ze smiled: "Mr. Ji has always been like this. ”

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, then patted Pei Ze's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Thank you brother for helping, then I won't bother brother brother." ”

After saying that, Xiao Yanzhi arched his hand at Pei Ze decently, but when he turned around to leave, he was grabbed by Pei Ze by the back collar.

"You're going to have nothing to do in a minute?" Pei Ze grabbed Xiao Yanzhi and asked.

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

"Then follow me!" Pei Ze unceremoniously dragged Xiao Yanzhi away.

"Huh?" Xiao Yanzhi was stunned, "Where are you going?" ”

Pei Ze didn't answer Xiao Yanzhi's question, but just changed from pulling the collar to pulling the sleeves, and dragged Xiao Yanzhi all the way to the right Jinwu guard camp.

"Come and help me." Stepping into the office of the Right Jinwu Guard Battalion, Pei Zecai finally opened the Golden Mouth.

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and asked blankly, "What can I do for you?" ”

These words stopped Pei Ze.

What can Xiao Yanzhi do? He really didn't know this, but he had been busy since the next dynasty today, and he only felt that he lacked skills, so he forced Xiao Yanzhi to do coolies, but Xiao Yanzhi hadn't been in contact with anything, what could he do?

"Let's find a place to sit down first." There will always be something that Xiao Yanzhi can do.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth, looked left and right, and then found a place that didn't seem to be in the way and sat down.

Xiao Yanzhi also felt that since Pei Ze called him, there should be something he could do, but after sitting in the camp of Youjin Wuwei for almost an afternoon, Xiao Yanzhi didn't do anything, just sat until his butt hurt.

Seeing that Pei Zeli had run in and out of the land eight times, Xiao Yanzhi finally couldn't sit still.

got up and rubbed his buttocks, walked around the room, and found a pot and a cup, Xiao Yanzhi looked at these two, and then looked at Pei Ze who was ordering things, Xiao Yanzhi sneaked out of the house with this pot and a cup.

After washing the pot and cup, Xiao Yanzhi asked the people in the camp for some hot water, and then took the pot and a cup back to the room where he was staying.

In the room, Pei Ze was still sitting at the table talking to someone, and looking at the focused look, he knew that he must have not noticed that he had slipped away.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, poured a cup of hot water, rubbed behind Pei Ze, looked left and right, and finally found a place where he could put the cup, so he put the cup down, and then staggered back to the previous position and sat down.

Xiao Yanzhidu sat back, but Pei Ze didn't notice what Xiao Yanzhidu did when he wasn't paying attention, but the people who were talking to Pei Ze kept looking at Xiao Yanzhi with a look of surprise.

The first time King Wu Cheng took this irrelevant person with him in the office, who is this person?

Suddenly finding that the person in front of him was not attentive, Pei Ze raised his head with a cold face: "What are you looking at?" ”

"Nope! It's nothing! Several people immediately came back to their senses, "Lord Wang, are you thirsty?" Drink. ”

Someone pushed the glass of water in front of Pei Ze.

Pei Ze looked at the glass of water and wondered, "Where did the water come from?" ”

There was no glass of water on the table when he entered, who and when did he put it?

As soon as they heard Pei Ze's question, several other people stretched out their hands and pointed at Xiao Yanzhi.

Pei Ze looked in the direction of several people's fingers, and saw Xiao Yanzhi lying on the table boredly, and then remembered Xiao Yanzhi who was forcibly brought over by him.

Pei Ze's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he asked Xiao Yanzhi: "Do I want you to help?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi got up from the table lazily, nodded and said, "Well, yes." ”

"So what did you do?"

Xiao Yanzhi thought for a while and said, "Poured a glass of water for you?" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Pei Ze's eyes jumped fiercely.

He didn't let Xiao Yanzhi do this!

Xiao Yanzhi shrugged innocently.

It's not his fault.

The corners of Pei Ze's eyes jumped again, and he poured the glass of water down suddenly, and continued to discuss things with a few people in front of him.

Xiao Yanzhi, who was not called, lay back on the table.

Until Pei Ze finished everything today, Xiao Yanzhi lay on the table like a bone and didn't do anything.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's lazy appearance, Pei Ze, who was so tired and exhausted, was so angry that he couldn't even say a word, only sat on the chair and glared at Xiao Yanzhi fiercely.

Xiao Yanzhi was amused by Pei Ze's unwilling expression, got up and poured another glass of water for Pei Ze and handed it over.

"I heard that your voice was hoarse, and when you returned to Wanchun Palace, I asked Xiushui to steam a bowl of Chuanbei Sydney pear for you." Xiao Yanzhi leaned on the table and said with a smile, "I heard my father say that you were busy at lunch, but I didn't expect to be so busy, it's really pitiful." ”

"Then you're not helping?" Pei Ze poured down the glass of water again, and when he put down the cup, he picked his chin and motioned for Xiao Yanzhi to have another glass.

Xiao Yanyi said with a smile while pouring water: "Didn't I come with you?" It's my brother who forgot to call me. ”

Pei Ze drank another glass of water in a huff, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

Looking at the angry Pei Ze funny, Xiao Yanzhi asked, "What about the second emperor brother?" I thought he was going to be with you. ”

"How do I know where he is, anyway, during this period, he is either running around the palace or around Chang'an City." Pei Ze gave Xiao Yan a blank look.

He is closer to Xu Lishan, but relatively speaking, no matter how close he is, can he still stay together all day long? What are two big men going to do when they're tired of being together?

After almost resting, Pei Ze stood up, grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's sleeve and pulled people out: "Go back." ”

"You're done?" Xiao Yanzhi followed behind Pei Ze, staring at his pulled sleeves.

If Pei Ze tears off his sleeves, can it also be called broken sleeves? Anyway, why are you pulling his sleeve? Isn't it okay to hold hands?

imagined the picture of himself and Pei Ze holding hands, but Xiao Yanzhi shuddered.

It's better to pull up your sleeves.

Xiao Yanzhi walked half a step quickly and walked side by side with Pei Ze, and when he glanced at his sleeve again, he felt that Pei Ze's action of pulling his sleeve was not too conspicuous.

"Well, today's business is done." Glancing at Xiao Yanzhi who chased after him, Pei Ze didn't realize that he was pulling Xiao Yanzhi's sleeve, "Are you going to Liangyi Hall for dinner?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "If my father doesn't pass it on, I don't have to go." But seeing that this hour is almost the time for my father to eat, he wants to pass it, and I can't get by. ”

"Yes." Pei Ze nodded and didn't say anything more.

Back at Wanchun Palace, Xiao Yanzhi stood at the door and looked at Pei Ze, who was motionless in front of him, and after thinking about it, he hesitated and asked, "Do you want to come to Wanchun Hall to dine together?" ”

Before Xiao Yanzhi's words hit the ground, Pei Ze said "En", raised his feet and walked in.

Looking at Pei Ze's calm back, Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corners of his mouth.

Pei Ze had planned to stay in Wanchun Hall for dinner from the beginning, right? Then just say no, why do you have to wait for him to invite? When Pei Ze came to Wanchun Hall every night, he never waited for him to invite him.

Shrugged his shoulders and followed the door, Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly asked Xiushui to tell the small kitchen to get some food, no need to be exquisite, the sooner the better, he always felt that Pei Ze, who was tired and hungry, seemed to be in a bad mood.

Sitting down at the dining table with Pei Ze and waiting for the meal, Xiao Yanzhi drank the tea that Xiushui had just made, and suddenly turned his head and asked Xiushui: "Xiushui, this afternoon, the Liangyi Hall is over there...... Did anything happen? ”

He was a little concerned about Qin Tai's affairs.

Xiushui showed a surprised expression when he heard Xiao Yanzhi's question, glanced at Pei Ze, and saw that Xiao Yanzhi didn't mind, so he said: "Your Highness never asks about these things on weekdays, but you really asked today."

The slave maid heard that Lord Qin was absent from the court this morning, but after noon, he took Qin Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to ask to see His Majesty, saying that he was here to take the blame for Jing, and I heard that His Majesty had a big temper in the imperial study, but he scolded Lord Qin for not being a human being.

The slave maid heard that the relationship between His Majesty and Lord Qin was good, it was like brothers, and for so many years, His Majesty seemed to have lost such a big temper with Lord Qin for the first time.

The slave maid also heard that Lord Qin cried miserably when he left the Liangyi Palace. ”

Xiao Yanzhi originally asked like that, but he didn't expect Xiushui to say a lot of things like a storyteller, and after a while, he heard a sentence, which made Xiao Yanzhi laugh.

Listening to Xiushui's words, Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, felt a little surprised, pondered for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, and asked, "What did you say to Your Majesty last night to make Your Majesty remove Qin Fengming's position?" ”

They had also caught a lot of pigtails of the Qin family before, but Qin Tai was able to use the power of the Qin family to settle things every time, like this time, it was the first time that Qin Fengming was asked to ask for guilt, and then he personally escorted Qin Fengming to come, and it was absolutely impossible to achieve this effect just by Qin Fengming's crime of forcibly kidnapping the eldest prince on the street, after all, Qin Fengming, as a "rebel son of the Qin family", had committed a lot of things, and the Qin family always had a way to keep him. So this time, what did Xiao Yanzhi do?

"I didn't say anything," Xiao Yanzhi shrugged and said, "Let's just say that Qin Fengming drank a little wine, and he wanted to offend me impulsively and couldn't help but offend me, and then Qin Fengming was dismissed by his father." ”

“…… How dare you say it? Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi in amazement.

Xiao Yan said with an innocent face: "Isn't it offensive that he hit me on the head with a folding fan?" I didn't say what he did. ”

It's just that Qin Fengming's image of being a good man and bold and reckless is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes people feel that Qin Fengming has done something unclean when they hear the word "offensive", and trying to do those unclean things to the prince and the eldest son of the emperor, the emperor killed Qin Fengming in a fit of anger That is to see the righteousness between Qin Tai in the past, but he dismissed Qin Fengming's position, no matter how big the Qin family's face is, there is no room for turning around.

At this time, Pei Ze suddenly understood what it meant to be reluctant to let the child trap the wolf.

Pei Ze said thoughtfully: "Then the next step is to prevent the position of Shaoqing of Honglu Temple from falling into the hands of the Qin family again." ”

If this Shaoqing's position is kept, then Honglu Temple will also return to the hands of His Majesty.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice: "My father ordered me to take Qin Fengming's place and take over the affairs of Honglu Temple temporarily. ”

“…… You? Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi dumbfounded.

Xiao Yanzhi's face fell, and he looked at Pei Ze aggrievedly and said, "Brother Yi, save me......"

Pei Ze faintly felt a little headache.
