It was already the fifth watch time when I left the palace, and it was indeed several miles from the palace to the palace, and it took a certain amount of time to reach the destination. Xie Yunxi sat in the sedan chair, while Yazhi walked all the way in the sedan chair, like the prince's guard. There weren't too many people in this team, just a few guards and maids, who followed behind them, and they looked very low-key.

Suddenly, the curtain of the sedan chair was drawn, and a low and powerful sentence came out, and Yazhi responded to the sedan chair.

"You just sit in the sedan chair, and you don't have to follow them like them. Xie Yunxi sat there upright, saw Yazhi coming in, and said softly.

"Well, that's not good. Yazhi tried her best to shirk it, "If you leave the palace, you don't have to do this to me, otherwise it will seem that the prince has no prestige." ”

"Oh, yes, so if this king wants you to sit here, you still have to refuse this king?" Xie Yunxi frowned, he was very uncomfortable in his heart, he didn't want to put on a superior stand for his brother. He didn't know when Yazhi had been talking to him with a sour feeling. He couldn't understand why Yazhi always hinted at his identity as a little prince like him. He never thought that the silly boy who had always called him "Brother Yunxi" had disappeared into the long river of time.

"No, don't dare. Ya Zhi heard Xie Yunxi claim that he had changed, and he was a little annoyed by what he said just now. Xie Yunxi is well-intentioned, but he always resists inexplicably, maybe he cares about the gap between his identities. "Little prince, I'm ...... I'll give you back the clothes when I get back. ”

"No need, this king said that this is made for you. ”

"This ......"

"This is the pattern that Yulu and Zhishui chose for you, and this king went to pick it up himself. Xie Yunxi said helplessly, he knew that if he didn't move the names of these two people, Yazhi would not accept it.

When Yazhi heard this, he immediately did not refuse again, but he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

"What you gave to Zhishui yesterday, looking at the workmanship, you should have spent all your savings. The palace is mobilizing guards, or you are coming......" Xie Yunxi glanced at Ya Zhi meaningfully, and this sentence was full of temptation.

"I already understand the kindness of the prince. I can't...... I'm used to being wandering around. Ya Zhi knew in her heart that Xie Yunxi wanted to keep him in the mansion, one was because of Nalan Zhishui, and the other was to give him a stable job. And the relationship that depends on the prince is indeed able to flourish in Kaifeng. However, for this reason, the more he treats him, the more he doesn't want to go. The two of them can be regarded as big friends, but after all, this is their own business, they don't have any ability, they have to pay back if they owe favors, this is his morality, he owes the friendship of the two families, and now it depends on Xie Yunxi. The help of the elders is also forgotten, but Xie Yunxi, who is the same generation as him, the more he gives in Yazhi's eyes, the more Yazhi will think that this is a kind of charity and a kind of pity.

"It's her birthday in a few days, and it's the year of the year. When the time comes, the old man Nangong will come, and the prince will also change her name. Perhaps she will be a little reluctant at the moment, because her favorite father has not yet been found. Like you, she has never left her parents, and her brothers and sisters have doted on her in every way. She's been following me for two years, and she's been suffering a lot, so I guess she hates me anymore. What Daddy told me, I've done. I should have ...... too" Xie Yunxi looked at Yazhi, every time Yazhi mentioned Nalan Zhishui, what was inadvertently revealed in his expression was gentleness and a faint sadness. These were all seen by Xie Yunxi, and there was an inexpressible emotion in his heart, and the two of them were both people he cared about. When he was a child, he told his father about it, and since then, the two brothers have always had inexplicable embarrassment when they meet, although Yazhi didn't say anything, and Xie Yunxi didn't have anything to do.

"The king understood. And if you complete the task of this king, you will be able to get what you want, although not much, so that you can gain a firm foothold in Kaifeng. To emphasize, this is not for you by this king, but by your own ability. Let's get down to business, I said this thing before, about the loyal king Wen Shiyuan. It is said that he had not participated in the early dynasty for many years, and even if the emperor summoned him, he was perfunctory due to illness. I've heard he's secretly planning something lately, maybe ......"

"How dare he ignore the emperor's summons? Why can he do this? The emperor didn't let his head fall to the ground?"

"He is not a royal bloodline, but a meritorious person. The emperor stared at him very closely in the early stage, because in his hands, he controlled a small part of the army, so he was required to come to the early dynasty. Because over the years, he has not moved, but he came to Kaifeng from Yuzhou, which is strange. Wen Shiyuan, the loyal king, is straightforward and honest, and has always been keen on the court. When I entered the palace as a child, I saw him. And now that he is so calm, it is really strange. ”

"Is it? Straightforward and honest? I heard that it doesn't seem to be the case. Then, Yazhi told Xie Yun what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

"So you have a problem. When Lord Zhang came to visit me a few days ago, he mentioned this matter to me, and this time the king went to face the saint, so that he could obtain the right to investigate, after all, in the king's territory, the king will be in charge. Xie Yunxi said very seriously.

"Lord Wang, do you know who Wu Xiao is?" Yazhi asked softly.

"Wu Xiao, this king has not heard that Wen Shiyuan has this person by his side. The day before yesterday, I read Master Zhang's letter, according to what you said, Wen Shiyuan's temperament has changed greatly, maybe it is because it has something to do with him? He can also soar with Wen Shiyuan. But why does he have to win you over? He must have a purpose in dividing you so much. These people, clinging to the powerful, are not for money or power. With all due respect, with all due respect, there is only one Lord Zhang and one prefect, Wen Shiyuan doesn't have to care about these small roles, but he arranged for Wu Xiao to get in the way, maybe his purpose is to run for the prefect, or it may be that the prefect is an obstacle to what he wants to do next. ”

"That's why I want to ask about the prince Wen Shiyuan. Ya Zhi heard these words, and probably had an eyebrow in his heart, but if he wanted to figure it out, he still had to ......

"By the way, dare to ask the prince what does 'face head' mean?" Yazhi's voice gradually became smaller.

"That's what it means to be a male pet. ”

"This ......" Yazhi hesitated a little, Xie Yun saw that Yazhi's reaction was expected: "This is very common in princely generals, you don't need to be surprised." ”

"Then what is ...... 'picking'?

"This kung fu is there, picking yin to supplement yang or picking yang to supplement yin, according to the combination of yin and yang, until the other party runs out of vitality and dies. Xie Yunxi felt strange, "Why do you ask this?"

Yazhi took out a note from his arms, which was the note he put in the brocade box when chasing Wu Xiao that day. Yazhi handed the note to Xie Yunxi, and there was a simple sentence written on the note: King Zhong caught people to practice the art of collecting and supplementing, and I don't know how the prefect should respond.

Xie Yunxi saw this line of words, and his heart was a little angry. He glanced up at Yazhi, who seemed to understand or not, and suddenly laughed: "It seems that you didn't understand?"

"I ......"

"You really don't understand?" Xie Yunxi said with a smile, and then put a hand on Yazhi's shoulder and leaned into Yazhi's ear: "It's ......"

Ya Zhi listened to Xie Yunxi's words, and suddenly the roots of her ears turned red.

"I'll take a look, we've arrived. After Xie Yun finished speaking, he got up in a panic and opened the curtain of the carriage. But Xie Yunxi showed a playful look, he didn't expect Yazhi to be so simple, which made him laugh.

"Tell the emperor everything you know. ”

"Okay. ”

By the time they arrived at the palace, the early dynasty had already receded. The two of them walked through the palace, which Xie Yunxi had long been accustomed to the generous palace buildings, and did not have much feeling, but for ordinary people like Yazhi, this was indeed shocking. This is the first time he has entered the palace, and it is also the first time he has gone to face the saint. The palace maids and eunuchs who passed by them saw Xie Yunxi saluting one after another, and when they saw Yazhi behind them, they also saluted. Xie Yunxi had never brought anyone into the palace, he was a little surprised, and he always looked back secretly, but Yazhi was not dressed like an entourage, so he thought that it was not small. Yazhi felt that this prying eyes not only shuddered, but also felt a strange feeling in her heart. Seeing this, Xie Yunxi patted Yazhi on the shoulder, "It's okay, they haven't seen you." Don't care. Yazhi shook his head, he could only accept it. After all, compared to the weirdness, he was a little nervous in his heart.

In the lotus garden, look from afar. The figures of the three of them can be seen, standing on the wooden platform and admiring the delicate lotus flowers in the pool. The man in front of him was dressed in white, holding a bamboo flute, and most prominently, he looked to be in his thirties but had long, slightly curly white hair. And there were two people sitting behind him, one was Xie Yunxi's father, the old prince Xie Yu, and the other was the current emperor Xie Yiyuan.

And this man in white is the person who has not shown up for more than a year after entrusting Yazhi with the task, his adoptive father Nalan Rongque.
