The recent test results of the Qintianjian ground motion instrument are very good, and now there is only no formal application experience. So Zhang Yue has been very idle recently.

Sometimes he drank tea and chatted with Yang and Ma in the official office, and sometimes he simply hid in the official residence to sleep in the daytime. Zhang Yue didn't take it seriously, she never returned to the Li Mansion once during this time.

On this day, Zhang Yue was idle and bored, drinking tea in the official house, Li Dongyang's personal servant Li San found Zhang Yue, Zhang Yue hurriedly asked, "Li San, why are you here?" ”

Li San laughed with him, "The little one has seen the little fifth master, and the adult said that the errand in your yamen was too hard some time ago, and I want to treat the little fifth master tonight, and I want to invite you to dinner in Yunding Tian?" ”

Zhang Yue was amused when he heard it, "Really?!" ”

Li San hurriedly said, "Really, the adults asked the little one to inform you, tonight you will go to Yun Dingtian's idle cloud room to get together, the adults specially advised, you can't be late anymore, Yun Dingtian is late to that place, there is no food and drink left!" ”

Zhang Yue patted his chest and said, "It's not too late, I will definitely arrive on time." ”

Li San said, "The little one said goodbye first." ”

Zhang Yue nodded. Li San turned around and left. Zhang Yue's heart is happy, this Yundingtian Restaurant is the most famous restaurant in the capital and even the entire north, where not only the food is exquisite and delicious, but the secret brewing of the "Seven Steps Immortal" is unique in the world, she was fortunate to drink the "Seven Steps Immortal" brewed by Yun Dingtian from Yuan Mo in Wuling Mountain, and the taste is still unforgettable.

However, the food there is extremely expensive, and the cost of a meal is conservatively estimated to cost Li Dongyang a month's salary. Therefore, the people who enter and leave Yunding Tian Restaurant are either high-ranking officials and dignitaries, or wealthy gentry. Li Dongyang is so generous today, although Zhang Yue felt a little strange, he didn't think much about it, just thinking about having a meal for Senior Brother Zai at night.

As soon as Shen Shi passed, Zhang Yue couldn't wait to go out. Walking around the street, as soon as the time came, her legs entered the door of Yunding Tian Restaurant on time. Under the guidance of the shopkeeper, she came to the door of the Xianyun private room, and the second child retreated by himself.

Zhang Yue excitedly pushed open the door, this Xianyun private room is very spacious, there is a round table in the middle, the table is already full of delicious dishes, and a small jar of wine, the wine stopper has been opened, and the fragrance of seven-step incense fills the room, mixed with the fragrance of vegetables, which makes people can't help but appetize. At this time, a person was sitting at the round table in the room.

"Senior brother, am I on time today? You have to make me drink ....." After seeing the people in the room clearly, Zhang Yue's second half of the sentence choked in his throat alive.

The handsome man in white sitting at the table was not Li Dongyang, but Zhu Youjiao, the crown prince of the dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu didn't seem to be surprised that Zhang Yue came in, and was looking at Zhang Yue with interest,

"How are you? Did I go to the wrong room? Zhang Yue took a step back and looked at the words on the door.

Zhu Youjiao's eyelashes curled slightly, and he smiled with a smile, "Little Fifth Master, you didn't make a mistake. This is the room that Dongyang has made an appointment with you. ”

Zhang Yue was even more puzzled, "What about my senior brother?" How are you? ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes flashed, "Dongyang has something to do today, so I'll invite Little Fifth Master to dinner tonight." ”

Zhang Yue hesitated, "That... No need, my senior brother didn't come, I won't eat it, so I'll take my leave. He just turned around to leave.

A soft sigh came from behind, "The little fifth master, who originally boasted of being affectionate and righteous, also looked at people with his identity." ”

Zhang Yue turned around and frowned, "Who said that?!" I'm not that kind of person. ”

Zhu Youzhu stared at Zhang Yue's eyes, "Then why can't Xiao Wu even eat a meal together after knowing his true identity?" ”

Zhang Yue's heart was down, he was here, the food was current, and he couldn't go back on an empty stomach, so he pulled a chair and sat in the farthest position from Zhu Youjiao, "Eat, who said you can't eat." ”

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and was about to have a big meal, when he saw an eye-catching dish in the dish - roast duck. Zhang Yue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhu Youjiao.

Zhu Youzhu seemed to understand what she was thinking, "In the cave of Wuling Mountain, I promised you to invite you to eat roast duck in the capital..... Eat it. As he spoke, he took a piece of duck leg meat and put it in Zhang Yue's dish.

Zhang Yue felt that the softest part of his heart seemed to be gently scratched, a little uncomfortable but very comfortable, it turned out that he remembered it all. Zhang Yue didn't dare to take a stubble, just buried his head in eating duck meat, the taste was very fragrant, but there was a little bitter taste in Zhang Yue's mouth.

"After I returned to Beijing, I often thought of the things I experienced with you in the academy, repairing wooden cows, catching flower thieves, drinking tea and tasting life, cooking noodles late at night, escaping from the men in black, and taking refuge in caves...... When I was in the cave, I remember you vividly - we are friends. Zhu Youzhang's clear eyes flickered.

Zhang Yue stopped the chopsticks in his hand, lowered his brows, and responded in a low voice, "I was indeed a friend at that time, because I didn't know that you were the prince of the dynasty at that time... If it weren't for the fact that I was inadvertently broken by Qin Tianjian that day, I must still be kept in the dark by you, right? ”，

Zhu Youjiao's eyes showed a lot of helplessness, sighed softly, and said meaningfully, "What about the prince?" It's just another title, among the two identities of the prince and Ji Rumo, if I can choose only one of them, I would rather continue to be Ji Rumo. Zhu Youjiao's eyes were slightly covered with a faint layer of ink.

Zhang Yue looked at Zhu Youzhu in surprise, "How come?" The crown prince is the future emperor, are you willing to rather be a prince with a noble status than a powerless Ji Rumo? ”

Zhu Youzhu said with a determined look in his eyes, "Not bad." ”

"Why?"

The corners of Zhu Youzhang's mouth rose slightly, and he said with some ridicule, "Because of Ji Rumo, at least I can continue to be friends with you!" ”

With a snap, the wine glass in Zhang Yue's hand knocked over, and the wine spilled out at once, Zhang Yue quickly stood up, picked up the wine glass, and dusted off the wine splashed on his body with his hand.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Yue's hurried appearance, and for some reason his mood suddenly became happy, and calmly took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue didn't even think about taking the handkerchief, drying the wine on his body, and returning it to Zhu Youjiao, "Thank you, Rumo, look at this expensive wine, I didn't drink a sip, alas!" It's all spilled on her body, you say..."Zhang Yue paused to speak, what did she call Zhu Youzhu just now?

Zhang Yue raised his head and looked at Zhu Youjiao, his dark eyes swelled with a faint smile, and he was looking at her tenderly at the moment.

Zhang Yue pursed her lips and sat down a little embarrassed.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you call me Rumo, Little Five." Zhu Youjiao's words sounded softly in his ears, and a little five was called, and Zhang Yue felt as if the two of them had returned to the scene of the night in the cave.

"But can we still be friends now?" Zhang Yue's eyes were full of confusion.

"Of course you can, Xiao Wu, no matter how our identities change, in my heart, you will always be the simple, kind and righteous Zhang Xiaowu of Xuanwei Academy. Do you understand? Zhu Youzhu said in a firm tone.

Zhang Yue felt warm in his heart, and nodded involuntarily, "Hmm." ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes flashed, "Then what about me in your heart?" ”

Zhang Yue thought about it, Zhu Youzhu is the prince of the dynasty, under one person, above ten thousand, he doesn't dislike himself, he is willing to be his friend sincerely, and he cares about what he does? For the time being, he put the advice of the master and Yuan Mo behind him, and said solemnly,

"Whether it's Rumo or the prince, I don't care, I just remember now that you are Ji Rumo, a good friend who was born and died with me."

"Good friends?!"

"That's right. You are one of my best friends. Although I have known each other for a short time, like Senior Brother Dongyang and Yuan Mo, they are also very important in my heart. Besides, you're still my creditor, and I still owe you money for your paintings. Zhang Yue blinked sincerely.

Zhu Youzhang's eyes flashed with a look of disappointment very quickly, and then returned to normal. Smiled, "Okay, then, as one of your best friends, can we continue to eat roast duck and drink?" ”

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Of course, I'm dying of hunger, you don't know, since I was starved by that villain Wan Chao in Zunhua, I'm most afraid of starvation." Today, I knew that my senior brother was going to invite me to eat in Yunding Tian, and I deliberately didn't eat enough at noon, just to eat more in the evening. I was startled by Rumo when I came in just now, and you forgot about being hungry? By the way, Ji Rumo is your pseudonym, right? Am I going to call you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with my senior brother in the future?"

Zhu Youzhu said, "My name is Zhu Youzhang, this name was given by my father when I was five years old, I didn't have a name before that, only my mother's milk name was Mo'er, and my mother's surname was Ji, so the name Ji Rumo is not completely a pseudonym." When there are no outsiders, it doesn't hurt if you call me Youzhu, or call me like ink. ”

Zhang Yue was curious in her heart, this royal disciple didn't come up with a name so late, she didn't have time to think about it, and smiled stupidly, "Oh, I understand, I also have several names, Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Yue, I still call you Rumo, I'm used to it." ”

Zhu Youjiao's eyes were shining, and he laughed, "Heh! Good. ”

Zhang Yue also laughed stupidly, and the two chatted while eating. Zhang Yue was already hungry, but now the things that have plagued him for many days have been swept away, and his appetite is even greater, a sip of wine, a mouthful of food, let go of his belly and eat, Zhu Youzhu didn't eat much food, just a small amount of wine with Zhang Yue, and gave Zhang Yue vegetables from time to time, looking at Zhang Yue's delicious food, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

The sunset outside the window casts a golden light, reflecting on the smiling faces of the two handsome young men, one smiling gently and elegantly, and the other smiling cheerful and bright, frozen into an unforgettable picture.
