The autumn afternoon sun lazily sprinkled on the light gray streets of the capital, circling a flickering and jumping light and shadow, and the two teenagers walked forward with light steps, stepping on the beating light and shadow on the ground.

The young man at the head is handsome, and his eyes highlight a sense of agility. The young man who followed him closely, holding a few boxes of pastries in both hands, spoke as he walked, "Young Master, didn't you just meet Your Highness during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days ago?" Why are we going to the East Palace today? ”

The person who spoke was Xiaotong, and the young master in her mouth was not Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue heard Xiaotong's question,

"On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, you were drunk and unconscious, and I didn't hear His Highness say that he loves to eat the crystal osmanthus cake I gave him last time, so I specially ordered a few boxes in Zhenwei Zhai today, and we will send them to His Highness."

"Young Master, you are so good to Your Highness!"

"I'm good friends with him, and besides, His Highness treats me very well,"

"Oh."

The two chatted while walking, and after a while, they arrived outside the East Palace, Zhang Yue explained his intention to the guards outside the East Palace, and the guards entered the palace to report. After a while, Mu Bin came out with the guards, and Zhang Yue stepped forward with a smile,

"Guard Mu, did you personally come out and lead me in?"

Mu Bin's face was a little weird, "Gongzi Zhang, Your Highness has something to do today. ”

Zhang Yue was slightly stunned, thinking that it was so unfortunate, and then said, "Since it is inconvenient for His Highness, forget it, oh, you can bring the dim sum in, crystal osmanthus cake, Your Highness loves to eat it very much." As he spoke, he took the snack from Xiaotong's hand and handed it to Mu Bin.

Mu Bin didn't take it, glanced at the dim sum, and said coldly, "Without the permission of His Highness, I don't dare to close the things in the market." ”

Zhang Yue was stunned, Xiaotong next to him was anxious when he heard this, and rushed to the front of Mu Bin, "Eh, why are you so unreasonable, my son-in-law and His Royal Highness are friends, and my son-in-law specially sent snacks to His Highness, if you don't accept it, you will insult it!" ”

Mu Bin looked at the short Xiaotong, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face,

Zhang Yue interrupted Xiaotong's words, "Since it is inconvenient for His Highness to see each other today, I won't bother you." ”

Mu Bin didn't speak, Zhang Yue smiled slightly, "Xiaotong, let's go." ”

"Young master, but..." Xiaotong still wanted to argue, but when he saw Zhang Yue's face, he didn't dare to say more, so he turned around and followed Zhang Yue out of the East Palace. Mu Bin glanced at the backs of the two, turned around and entered the palace.

In the Mingde Hall of the East Palace, Zhu Youzhu was flipping through some documents on the case, his eyes stayed on a document for a long time, and there was an old man in brocade clothes sitting on the top of the hall, with gray hair, beardless jaws, and a white face full of wrinkles, and the old man was drinking tea.

At this time, a person came in from outside the hall, Zhu Youzhu put down the documents in his hand, looked at the person, and the person who came in was Mu Bin, he saluted Zhu Youzhang and said,

"Your Highness, I have let them leave according to your orders, and there are no snacks left."

Zhu Youzhu's face was very calm and said, "Well, I know." ”

Mu Bin secretly glanced at Zhu Youzhang's face and saw that there was nothing abnormal, "Your Highness, what else do you have to order?" ”

Zhu Youzhu lowered his eyes, "No, let's go out." ”

Mu Bin left the hall in response.

Zhu Youzhu picked up the paperwork on the table with a comfortable expression and continued to check, and the old man in the hall put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Your Highness, why don't you see it?" ”

Zhu Youzhang's cold voice came, "Whether there is a difference between high and low status, it is better to have less contact." ”

The old man continued, "Your Highness, you should ...... her identity?" ”

"It's just an ordinary prisoner's daughter, nothing special." Zhu Youzhu interrupted the old man's words.

The old man stared at Zhu Youjiao, who had been staring at the paperwork,

"Your Highness......"

"Nostalgic, it seems like you have a lot to say today."

The old man was silent for a moment, and then said slowly, "The old slave just wants to tell His Highness that the paperwork in your hand is upside down......"

“.......”

Zhang Yue and Xiaotong returned to Li's Mansion with snacks, and Xiaotong complained while walking,

"Young Master, what do you mean, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you even have time to see you? When I ate a pot that day, I returned my friends and former friends, and I didn't recognize people the next day?! ”

Zhang Yue groaned, "Xiaotong, don't talk nonsense, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a gentleman and a gentleman, there must be something important to do today, so we can't see each other, the East Palace is the palace where the prince lives, the palace rules are clear, and the Mu guards are also responsible." ”

Xiaotong pouted, "However, I always feel that they have a cold attitude towards us. ”

Zhang Yue smiled helplessly, "You, you have the upper hand everywhere you have followed me since you were a child, but this time you suddenly got deflated, and you must feel uncomfortable." ”

Xiao Tong touched his head and smirked.

Zhang Yue persuaded Xiaotong on his lips, but he also had a lot of thoughts in his heart, I don't know if he was too sensitive, today's reaction in the East Palace really gave people a feeling of rejection.

Zhang Yue and the two returned to Li's house, and Zhang Yue asked Xiaotong to send the dim sum to his sister-in-law Liu and gave it to his two nephews.

After lunch, Zhang Yue felt a little bored in his heart, so he asked Xiaotong to close the door, prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and took out the string of Xuanjing beads given by the master, put it in his left hand and turned it, and held the pen with his right hand hanging his wrist, and wrote the Taishang induction chapter on the paper silently.

This string of Xuanjing beads has always had the effect of calming the mind and calming the qi, and the Taishang induction chapter is a masterpiece of cultivating the body and mind. When she wrote it three times, she stopped writing because she felt a clear sense of clarity. According to the old rules, let Xiaotong burn the ink with a stove.

The sun is already setting in the west. Zhang Yue pushed open the door and was about to wander around the courtyard, when the family of the Li Mansion came to report that there was an old friend at the door who said that he was looking for Zhang Xiaowu's son, Zhang Yue was surprised, changed into men's clothes, and went to the door of the house with the family.

When I arrived at the door of Li's house, I saw a carriage parked at the door, and there was a man in black standing next to the carriage, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, with his head slightly bowed, so that people couldn't see his eyebrows clearly.

"See Zhang Gongzi, my master wants to see you, and the little one is here to pick you up."

Zhang Yue asked suspiciously, "Who is the master of your family?" Why do you want to see me? Besides, why should I go with someone I don't know you before? ”

The man in black walked to Zhang Yue's side, lowered his voice and said, "My master asked me to tell you that "Peng Zu's Ghost Mission" was brought into the birthday banquet and presented to the emperor, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was relieved. ”

Zhang Yue was shocked, she remembered the last painting, Xiao Jing said that he asked his master to present it, could it be that the person who wants to see her today is Xiao Jing's master?

The man in black saw Zhang Yue's suspicious face, and said, "It's not too early for Zhang Gongzi, please get in the car." ”

Zhang Yue thought in his heart, he couldn't care so much, just go. She turned back to the Li Mansion and said, "Tell my wife, just say that I went out to see a friend, and I won't have dinner in the mansion, and by the way, tell my scholar." ”

Li Fu Ding agreed. Zhang Yue immediately got into the carriage, and the man in black drove the carriage away. After about half an hour, the speed of the carriage slowly slowed down, and there were two stops in the middle, and there was a sound of interrogation outside, as if it had passed some inspection checkpoint, although it was a checkpoint, but it encountered some substantial obstruction.
