In the evening, the sun disappeared before you knew it. A crescent moon led countless stars into the air.

After having eaten at noon, he went back to the house to rest for a while, and before he knew it, he slept until the evening.

Xi Ting was ordered by Li Zhi to come to call for the promise, Xi Ting walked to the door of the promise house and knocked on the door gently.

In the house, Xu Xu, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes in an instant, sat up hurriedly, lifted the quilt on his body casually, got up and put on his shoes, and walked towards the door.

Xi Ting, who was outside the door, listened to the fact that there was no movement in the house, and reached out and knocked on the door again.

At this time, Xu Promise walked to the door of the house, raised his hand and took off the sticks on the door, and then squeaked and opened the door.

"Promise, Your Highness is waiting for you to enter the palace!" Xi Ting stared at the promise to open the door and said with a smile.

"Let's go! Sister Xiting. Xu Yue looked down at the clothes on his body, raised his hand and touched his hair, and said to Xi Ting with a smile.

"Aren't you going to freshen up?" Xi Ting heard the sound and asked suspiciously.

"No, my clothes are not dirty, and my hair is not messy. It's getting late, so let's hurry up! Xu Promise walked out of the door, turned around and closed the door, explained to Xi Ting with a smile, and then pulled Xi Ting to the gate of the courtyard.

After a while, Xu Yu walked quickly to the gate of the mansion, looked at the carriage parked outside the door, and walked over quickly.

Xu Yu came to the carriage, glanced at Ping Wei who was standing by the carriage, raised his foot and stepped on the carriage stool, and got into the carriage.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage squeezed through the crowded Suzaku Street and came to the Suzaku Gate.

Xu Yu got out of the carriage first, stood by the carriage, stretched out his hand to help Li Zhi who came out, slowly got out of the carriage, and then obediently followed behind Li Zhi and walked towards the palace gate.

Walking into the palace gate, Li Zhi said casually while walking: "Let's go and see the prince's brother first, I heard that he is sick." ”

Xu Yu nodded slightly, obediently followed behind Li Zhi, and walked in the direction of the East Palace.

A moment later, Li Zhi led the promise into the East Palace, and under the guidance of a father-in-law, he walked outside the door of the prince's house.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has come down." The father-in-law was outside the closed door and said loudly.

With a squeak, the crown prince Li Chengqian did not come out, and Lord Zhao Jie Zhao walked out and saluted Li Zhi: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the old man is polite." ”

"Lord Zhao is polite." Li Zhi returned the salute, stretched out his hand to support Zhao Jie, and said with a smile.

"Your Highness, please inside." Zhao Jie said to Li Zhi, stretched out his hand and pointed to the house, and motioned for Li Zhi to enter the house.

Li Zhi smiled at Zhao Jie, turned to Xu Promise and said, "You wait outside!" I went in to take a look at the prince's brother, and then I came out. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." After responding softly, he bowed his head and walked to the door of the house, where he stood.

Li Zhi glanced at the promise, turned his head and smiled at Zhao Jie, raised his feet and walked into the house.

Li Zhi walked into the house, turned around and walked to the prince's bedroom, and saw the prince Li Chengqian, lying on his bed dying, and sitting next to the bed was Du He, the commander of the horses.

Li Zhi saluted the two and said softly, "Brother Prince's health is better?" A few days ago, I heard that my brother was infected with a cold, so I had time to take a look at my brother today. ”

"Humph! I'm fine, I don't need you to come to see me. Li Chengqian glanced at Li Zhi with squinted eyes, and mocked with confidence.

"Huh! Don't worry about it, your brother is such a person, he said that he wouldn't let you come to see him, but in fact, in his heart, he wanted you to come and see him more. Du He, the commander of the horses, looked at Li Zhi and said with a smile.

"The young slave knows, the prince's brother has always been, the knife mouth and tofu heart, how could I not know!" Li Zhi replied with a smile.

"Huh! That's good, that's good, I'm afraid that you're making a bad deal with your brother because of this, and it will be too much to lose. Du He said with a smile.

"I still have to go to see my father, so I won't stay with my brother for a long time, I hope my brother will recover soon." Li Zhi said calmly, bent down to the crown prince Li Chengqian and Du He, and the two of them bowed.

"Your brother can't get out of bed, I'll send you!" Du He got up with a smile, pulled Li Zhi and said softly.

Li Zhi turned around and walked out, and accidentally saw a portrait of a man hanging on the wall of Li Chengqian's house, and glanced back at Li Chengqian with some doubts, and found that Li Chengqian was looking at the painting sadly, and wondered in his heart: "Could this be someone else's hand, the prince's brother's favorite musician." ”

Li Zhi thought in his heart, so he walked outside the door, turned his head to look at the promise, and then walked quickly towards the gate of the courtyard, and the promise looked at Li Zhi and walked to the gate of the courtyard in thought, and hurriedly followed.

After a while, Li Zhi put his hands behind his back, strode on the bluestone pavement illuminated by the dim street lamp, and walked leisurely towards the imperial study. Xu Yu lowered his head, cautiously followed behind Li Zhi, and walked towards the imperial study with Li Zhi without hurry.

After a while, Li Zhi walked to the door of the imperial study and whispered to Xu Promise, "You wait at the door!" ”

Xu Yu nodded slightly, and watched Li Zhi stride into the imperial study.

Li Zhi walked to His Majesty's desk, straightened his clothes with both hands, and knelt down to greet His Majesty and said, "Sons and daughters see their father." ”

"Get up quickly, the time for the slave to come to the palace this year is earlier than ever!" His Majesty, who was reviewing the folds, looked up when he heard the sound, and Li Zhi, who was kneeling on the ground, said with a smile.

"Erchen has nothing to do at home today, so he came early." Li Zhi got up, bowed to Li Shimin again, and explained softly.

"Son-in-law, see father." As soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Li Tai, the king of Wei, walking in front of him and saying to Li Shimin.

"Get up! It's a coincidence that you two brothers came, I just finished reviewing the recital, let's go to the palace gate to watch the performance together! His Majesty Li Shimin said to Li Zhi and Li Tai with a smile, got up and walked towards the two brothers.

"Yes." Li Zhi and Li Taiqi said in unison.

The father and son walked out of the imperial study with a smile, Li Zhi turned his head at the door and glanced at the promise by the door, signaled the promise to follow, and then silently followed His Majesty's side.

When Xu Yu heard them come out, he looked up at Li Zhi, looked at Li Zhi for a while, and followed behind Li Zhi with his head down.

A moment later, Li Zhi followed His Majesty to the front of the Zichen Palace, and the father and son stood in front of the Zichen Palace, looking at the pre-exorcism (nuó) activities that were being prepared in front of them.

Xu Yu stood behind Li Zhi, looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, dressed in white and wearing masks, dancing and stopping for a while to train with bursts of music.

After a while, with the sound of drums, I saw that all the people who drove the servants were neatly lined up in a line.

Four wizards dressed as adults danced in front of hundreds of teenagers in front of them, dancing to the music that sounded around them, and their mouths kept reciting awkward poems.

Half an hour later, the expulsion activity slowly stopped, His Majesty also turned around and walked to his place and sat down, Li Zhi and Li Tai also walked to their respective positions, promising to follow Li Zhi closely, and finally Li Zhi sat in his place, and promised to stand obediently behind Li Zhi.

Xu Yu stood behind Li Zhi, looked up and looked around, and found that His Majesty was sitting at the top, below were several favored concubines, below were the princes, and then below were the ministers of civil and military affairs and their wives.

A moment later, with the sound of a fresh and refined piano, in the dance arena ahead, several girls in light shirts and a particularly conspicuous girl in yellow in the middle swayed and entered the dance arena.

The banquet lasted until the second watch, and as the banquet came to an end, His Majesty drove back to the palace, and everyone walked out of the palace gate one after another.

Li Zhi led the promise to the Suzaku Gate, came to the carriage, looked at Ping Wei sitting in the carriage, and said softly: "Let's go!" Go home. ”

Xu Yu followed Li Zhi into the carriage and sat beside Li Zhi, yawning just now, and when he entered the carriage, he kept fighting.

"Sleepy?" Li Zhi looked at the yawning promise and asked softly.

"When has this been, I can't even open my eyes." Xu Yu squinted slightly, looked at Li Zhi and said softly.

"It's time!" Li Zhi lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the street outside the carriage, and said casually.

"I'm so sleepy! Brother Jiu, my Chinese New Year's Eve last year was different from this year's. By the way, I met you that time! Do you remember? Xu Promise said, and instantly asked with full of energy.

"Yes." The corners of Li Zhi's mouth curled up slightly, and he said softly.

"I was wearing a mask, how did you recognize me?" Xu Yu looked at Li Zhi with a smile and asked suspiciously.

"I don't know, looking at that clumsy girl, I feel like you, so I helped out, but I didn't expect it to be you." Li Zhi half-leaned back on the carriage and said in retrospect.

Half an hour later, the carriage drove to the gate of the Jin Palace, promised to get off the carriage first, habitually stood in front of the carriage, helped Li Zhi get out of the carriage, and then followed Li Zhi into the Jin Palace.

"Brother Jiu, I'm hungry." Xu Promise followed behind Li Zhi and said softly.

Li Zhi turned his head to look at Xu Promise when he heard the sound, and quickly led Xu Promise to the kitchen.

After a while, Li Zhi came to the kitchen door and shouted loudly into the kitchen: "Come on, Your Highness is hungry." ”

As soon as Li Zhi's words fell, a group of people ran out of the side room next to the kitchen, all dressed in a hurry, came to Li Zhi, gave Li Zhi a salute, and then walked into the kitchen to cook.

After a while, six dishes and two soups were served in front of Li Zhi and Xu Yu, and after the two looked at each other and smiled, they ate happily.
