In the remote courtyard, the faces of the three people reflected in the swaying charcoal fire in the stove were red, Zhu Yunwen and Xu Ruyi laughed and laughed, telling the interesting things they had experienced since they were separated, and Xiao Yuanzi occasionally helped Zhu Yunwen add a few sentences. The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the difficulties and obstacles they had experienced, but just blindly reported good news and not bad news. Reunion, happiness is the most important thing, time is there, so why mention those troubles.

"So, Ruyi, you have eaten the elixir of Zhang Immortal, so you have this look? Zhu Yunwen said enviously, with only happiness in his tone, unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, who still had suspicion and temptation.

"Awesome~" Xu Ruyi said triumphantly: "We are the big man of the Heavenly Mandate to assist the Holy Lord, how can we do it without a good body." ”

"It turns out that I am the Holy Lord~" Zhu Yunwen excitedly took another big bite of steamed buns.

"The point is that I'm okay... Xu Ruyi put on an expression that he couldn't stand you, which caused Zhu Yunwen to laugh more than once.

After laughing, Zhu Yunwen asked curiously: "Ruyi, you say... Is there really an elixir in this world that can make people become immortals and live forever?"

"This... Xu Ruyi couldn't answer.

If someone asked him in his previous life, he might say no, but after experiencing the crossing and getting bigger, Zhang Sanfeng was chattering and calculating, of course, the most important thing was the crossing, and Xu Ruyi was a little uncertain.

"Perhaps. Xu Ruyi hesitated: "If you want to say no, you look at my change, a living example." ”

"What do you mean maybe, that's what you have?" Zhu Yunwen's eyes lit up.

"Your Highness, be cautious in this matter. Xu Ruyi's expression was serious: "I'm just getting bigger now, and what other effects are not reflected, it's right to say it's an elixir, but it's not impossible to say what kind of strange medicine it is." But what is certain is that there is certainly no immortality. I have also heard a lot of legends about the pill on the rivers and lakes, and I also asked someone later, if this pill is eaten badly, something will happen. ”

"If you are looking for a master, won't you be able to use good medicine?" Zhu Yunwen obviously did not dispel his thoughts, and still looked eager to try.

"How do you know who is a master and who is a liar?" Xu Ruyi asked rhetorically.

"We'll talk about that then. We'll talk about that then. Zhu Yunwen waved his hand to change the topic.

"Alas" Xu Ruyi sighed in his heart, he really didn't know how much impact it would have if he took medicine to get bigger.

As he was gossiping, Xu Ruyi's ears moved: "Who?!" stood up and stood on the courtyard wall together.

"Ah?!" Outside the courtyard gate, a little girl dressed as a palace lady looked at him with a little horror in her eyes with cleaning tools in her hand.

"Feng. Sister Feng Si?" Xu Ruyi called out tentatively.

The familiar title made Feng Si below stunned: "Ruyi?"

"Is it really you?" said in unison.

"Ruyi, who is it?" In the courtyard, Zhu Yunwen's voice came.

"A good friend. Xu Ruyi smiled, jumped off the wall, and led Feng Si in.

"You are so bold!" Feng Si exclaimed: "In the middle of the night, in the palace, you dare... ”

"yes. Xiao Yuanzi had a bitter face, and finally someone had a united front with him.

Xu Ruyi and Zhu Yunwen looked at each other amusefully and shook their heads. Thinking of the scene when the two met, Zhu Yunwen was also like this.

"Do you know who he is?" Xu Ruyi stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhu Yunwen.

"No one can do it!" Feng Si said seriously: "The father-in-law who patrols the night is found to be killed!"

"I see who dares!" Zhu Yunwen said with a smile: "What's wrong with His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson baking something to eat in his own home, who dares to say anything?!"

"The emperor dares... Xu Ruyi opened his mouth to a basin of cold water, and Zhu Yunwen rolled his eyes in choking.

"Your Royal Highness the Emperor's Eldest Sun?" Feng Si pouted: "If you are His Royal Highness the Eldest Sun, then I am, that is... ”

It's been a long time, and Feng Si didn't say anything else. There's no way, it seems taboo to say anything.

"Oops~" Feng Si said in a low voice: "Just a few of us, you can say whatever you want, just don't say that you are the eldest grandson of the emperor, you will kill your head." ”

"It's not like that. Zhu Yunwen looked at himself depressedly, not to mention, the thin coat, there were still some dirty carbon marks and oil stains on his body, and he didn't know what he looked like on his face, but it was estimated that it was not much better.

Feng Si looked at Zhu Yunwen, and then looked left and right at Xu Ruyi's strange face and the appearance of Xiaoyuanzi, and his face slowly turned white: "You... You're really 。。。。。 ”

"His Royal Highness the eldest grandson who is like a fake. Xiaoyuanzi snorted proudly.

"Slave Feng Si, meet His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. Feng Si hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't know... ”

"Excuse me. Zhu Yunwen waved his hand and smiled: "In this courtyard today, we are just foodies, regardless of anything else." ”

Xu Ruyi lifted Feng Si up from the ground and asked, "I didn't pay attention when I just came back today, this yard is so clean, Sister Feng, do you often come to clean it?"

The atmosphere in the courtyard and the kind smile on Zhu Yunwen's face made Feng Si gradually relax a little.

Knowing that Xu Ruyi was deliberately changing the topic, Feng Si replied softly: "You still said that it suddenly disappeared, so I still asked you everywhere." He picked up the broom he had just placed at his feet: "It's not me who cleans, it's a ghost." ”

Xiao Yuanzi "Bah Bah" took a few sips: "It's unlucky to talk about ghosts at night." ”

That night, several people ate and chatted until very late.

Zhu Yunwen had no choice, he had to go to court at some point, Xu Ruyi didn't have these problems, and slept until noon.

"Hey, wake up, wake up. Gently pushing and shoving, the sleeping Xu Ruyi was rescued from his dream.

"Who, this is. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he saw Xiao Yuanzi standing beside his bed, looking scared.

"You. Xu Ruyi sat up, yawned, and said hello casually: "Morning." ”

Maybe it was the familiar environment, or the reassurance of the safety of the palace, Xu Ruyi slept very deeply and was completely defenseless, otherwise, he would wake up when Xiaoyuanzi came in.

"Oh, it's early. Xiao Yuanzi had an anxious look in his eyes: "Noon is almost over, and His Royal Highness will listen to Lord Huang's lecture before the time, Gonggong Xu, you are not His Highness's companion, you are almost late." ”

"What's the hurry. Xu Ruyi said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty said yesterday to give me a few days to prepare, and this is only the next day." ”

"That's not going to work. Xiao Yuanzi stomped his feet anxiously: "Your Highness ordered me to bring you over, Gonggong Xu, don't embarrass me." ”

If it weren't for the close relationship between Xu Ruyi and Zhu Yunwen, Xiao Yuanzi would have jumped to scold the street.

"Okay, okay. Xu Ruyi got down to put on his shoes, "Just let me go to work early." ”

Panicked all the way, in a hurry, Xiao Yuanzi finally brought Xu Ruyi to Donggong Chunfang before the time and handed it over to Zhu Yunwen.

"Your Highness. Xiao Yuanzi and Xu Ruyi knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Yunwen.

"Get up. In front of outsiders, Zhu Yunwen's appearance is still a bit majestic.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace. Xu Ruyi and Xiaoyuanzi stood up.

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, Xiaoyuanzi said goodbye and left, while Xu Ruyi silently followed behind Zhu Yunwen, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Chunfang is located on the west side of the East Palace, is the place where the princes of the past dynasties studied, the defense is strict, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry. There are many people with mixed mouths, and Zhu Yunwen and Xu Ruyi can't be too casual, otherwise they will be easy to fall into their mouths.

Zhu Yunwen led Xu Ruyi through a corridor and came to a very exquisite palace. It's not big, but the furnishings inside are very exquisite, the antique calligraphy and paintings are wrongly listed, and there are several bookshelves on the west wall, and the subset of the history is full. The two bookcases stand opposite each other, not far apart.

Zhu Yunwen naturally came to sit down behind one of the bookcases, skillfully laid out the paper and pen, and began to study the ink, a pine fragrance gradually drifted away, Xu Ruyi stood behind him and watched quietly.

"Be careful. Zhu Yunwen's voice was like a mosquito and a fly, and Xu Ruyi was mentioned: "There have always been only two people in Chunfang's teaching, me and Huang Qing's family, and now the imperial grandfather has inserted you in, Huang Qing's family already knew about it before, and they were very unhappy, and they were already connected. ”

"Bold!" A loud shout suddenly came from the door: "As the companion of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, why do you not know the rules so much, don't you know how to study ink for His Highness?!"

Zhu Yunwen was so frightened that he almost knocked over the inkstone in his hand.

Xu Ruyi frowned and looked back, only to see an elegant middle-aged man, wearing a four-grade official uniform, with a square face, full of heaven, holding an ancient book in his hand, standing at the door, glaring at himself.

This time, this place, this kind of attitude, no matter what you ask, it must be Huang Zicheng.

Xu Ruyi pursed his lips, then bowed, but did not answer, but silently took the ink pestle in Zhu Yunwen's hand and slowly studied the ink. As soon as they met, Xu Ruyi was not angry, but he couldn't quarrel with him. After all, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who personally put him here, if something really happened, Zhu Yuanzhang's face would not look good, and he would not end well. Especially this matter is not taken care of by himself, as a companion, research ink is also his own work, and he was indeed negligent just now.

"Hmph!" Huang Zicheng snorted coldly, but he didn't dig deeper. A few steps came to the bookcase opposite Zhu Yunwen and sat down.

"Be careful. Zhu Yunwen said in a low voice: "You should see it, Huang Qing's family." ”

"Uh-huh!" Huang Zicheng coughed heavily and said unhappily: "Your Royal Highness the eldest grandson, where did we talk about yesterday?"

"Huang Qingjia, yesterday we talked about the "Three Kingdoms * Zhuge Liang Biography" volume 35 "Teacher Table". Zhu Yunwen opened an ancient scroll on the table and replied.

"Yes. Huang Zicheng nodded: "Maybe memorize?"

"Yes. Zhu Yunwen recalled for a moment, and then recited it: "The first emperor did not start a business halfway and the middle way collapsed, and today he will be three points。。。。。 ”
