bad

The craftsmanship of the imperial chef is naturally good. Since Ying Zhou entered the palace, not to mention the breakfast, lunch and dinner, even the supper is rich and exquisite.

At noon, the palace people set out the dishes, Xu Li personally filled a bowl of fish soup, took a spoon to mix it cold, then pushed it in front of Ying Zhou, and said with a smile: "Come, have a sip of soup first."

Recently, he has been playing chess with Ying Zhou in Fengxian Palace every day, but Ying Zhou has a thin skin, and he doesn't know how to open his mouth to chase him away. Thinking that he is still under his family's fence now, he can only do as he pleases.However, he didn't want Xu Li to push forward, and if he couldn't catch up with the week, he would have lunch, dinner, or even supper, and stayed in Fengxian Palace all the time.

Ying Zhou lacked appetite, so he put down the bowl after taking a sip.

"This jasper three shredded dish is the imperial chef's specialty." Xu Li picked up another chopstick for him, "Blanch the green bamboo shoots and yam in water, and stir-fry the shredded chicken. It's very refreshing. It's the most appetizing. The national teacher should try it." !"

In order to please him, Xu Li really worked hard, one was chess skills, the other was meals.These days, he has already figured out Ying Zhou's tastes, and he has acquired a lot of knowledge from the imperial chef. Now that his chess skills have improved gradually, he can speak clearly about the dishes.

He used his own chopsticks, Ying Zhou let out a "huh" and didn't even want to eat.

When he was in Prince Yu's Mansion, he clearly felt that everything was fine. Once he arrived at the palace, even if the imperial chef changed his ways to please him every day, the food delivered to Fengxian Palace was no less particular than the emperor's imperial meal. It could even be said that it took more money Even if he puts so much thought into it, he won't be able to arouse much interest.

——Missing Prince Yu's Mansion.

Every day he stayed in the palace, he wanted to go back.But I don't know if it was his illusion, the number of palace guards guarding him these days has increased from the original two to four, and the number of people patrolling back and forth in Fengxian Palace seems to have also increased.No matter where he goes, every move is watched, and he will never be left alone.

The longer he lived, the more he felt that this seemingly beautiful and magnificent Chongqian palace was like a heavy lock, firmly locking him like an arrow. Xu Boyuan and Xu Jingluan had no choice but to be honest. Apart from the emperor and Xu Li, they couldn't see anyone outside.

After eating something sloppy, Xu Li started talking about his glorious deeds again.

"Last spring, I was ordered to go to Jiangnan Road to inspect it. It was really colorful, and the grass grew and the birds were flying. It was completely different from this miserable northern land..."

Ying Zhou supported his head and listened without saying a word.Xu Li always had endless things to say, but Ying Zhou couldn't understand most of them, and wasn't interested in listening to them.

"When passing through the Wuzhou area alone, I received blood letters from thousands of villagers, accusing the local prefect of suppressing the people, and being suspected of smuggling black salt. The team was stationed in isolation, and the four parties investigated. Sure enough, they found evidence that Cai Da smuggled black salt. , and wiped out all the people in one go, brought them all to Beijing, and handed them over to the emperor for disposal..."

Xu Li's eyes fell directly on Ying Zhou without blinking, as if waiting for his response, Ying Zhou had no choice but to cooperate with a smile.

In fact, he didn't understand what Xu Li was saying at all, but this smile was more effective than any answer. Xu Li's eyes lit up, and he moved two points closer, almost sitting on Ying Zhou's stool. Spring will begin next year, how about I take you to the south for a tour of the mountains and rivers?"

"Hmm..." Nanfang wanted to go, but he didn't want to go with Xu Li, so Ying Zhou moved aside calmly and said politely, "Let's talk about it next year."

After staying in the world for a long time, he has also learned such an ambiguous way of speaking unconsciously.

For example, the emperor always likes to ask him: National Teacher, is this a good thing to do?Can it work?Ying Zhou is not Tianchen, he can't see the cause and effect of everything in Kunwu book, he really doesn't know if it's good or not, at first he took the emperor's question seriously, but after many times, he found that the emperor is not real I was asking for his opinion, but it was just asking casually, and I expected him to answer casually.

And so on, he found that whenever mortals said such things, they would probably forget them after they said them. Only he would take them to heart, and he was the only one who took them seriously, which is actually quite stupid.

Xu Li noticed his perfunctory and twitched the corners of her eyes.

He has lived for more than [-] years, and he has never had such a small time.

After being courteous for half a month, Ying Zhou still treats him very alienated. In the past, others rushed to serve him. Why has he ever treated others like this?But Ying Zhou was no one else, even he himself didn't know that he could be so patient.

No matter how you try to please her, Xu Li recalled the idea given by the eunuch last night, and asked tentatively: "The weather is fine today, do you want to go out of the palace with Gu?"

Ying Zhou was taken aback for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I go out?"

"Of course you can," Xu Li said immediately when he saw that his expression seemed to be moving, "Together with Gu, the national teacher can go wherever he wants."

Jiang Nan was determined not to go with Xu Li, but it was not a bad idea just to take a stroll in the capital. He had been in the palace for half a month, and if he didn't go out for a walk, he would get moldy. I think it's cute.

Ying Zhou nodded immediately, and asked, "Is there a bookstore in Beijing?"

I don’t know where Nan Ling found the books he read before, and what he wrote was far from this world. He wanted to find a bookstore for a long time, but he has never found the opportunity so far.

"Yes, yes," Xu Li said in a hurry, and waved to summon the palace servants, "Go, prepare the car, Gu and the national teacher are going out of the palace."

There are quite a few bookstores in Beijing, so Xu Li took Ying Zhou to one called Jinshizhai.

As soon as he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had come with the national teacher, the shopkeeper immediately cleared the place, and even Xiao Er rushed to the warehouse to wait.

Jinshizhai has two floors above and below, and the smell of sandalwood is far away and fragrant. The shelves made of century-old wood are full of blue booklets, all of which are neat manuscripts.Xu Li thought that Ying Zhou would be interested in poetry anthologies, but instead of searching around, Ying Zhou found a copy of "Oiran Qiuyue Biography" from a pile of serious books, and read it with relish.

The shopkeeper looked at the prince's face, stepped forward and asked: "The national teacher likes to watch this kind of stuff?"

Ying Zhou heard the surprise in the shopkeeper's tone, and smiled mischievously.

In the past, Nan Ling disliked that the books he read were all unappealing scripts, which were neither elegant nor connotative, so he insisted on showing him some books on poetry anthology and policy theory.But he was used to it. Nan Ling's words came in one ear and out the other, and those books came and went as they were. As time passed, Nan Ling gave up and let him go.

Before meeting Ying Zhou, the shopkeeper, like most of the common people, felt that the emperor's personal imperial tutor was probably a fake.Speaking of this appearance, even if ordinary people can get this face, it is impossible for them to have this temperament.Especially his smile, like a stream in a mountain, is too clear, does not touch the mortal breath, and is like a bright moon in the sky, clearly in the world of mortals, but untouchable, the smile on the lips and the sporadic embarrassment in the eyes rub together , almost stunned the shopkeeper.

Xu Li gave the eunuch next to him a look, and the eunuch understood immediately, and patted the shopkeeper on the back, "Shopkeeper, wrap up all your scripts here, His Royal Highness wants them all."

Coming out of the bookstore, the two of them did not get into the carriage, and walked idly on Suzaku Street.

Ying Zhou hadn't gone out for a long time, listening to the peddlers hawking, recalled the scene when he and Xu Jingluan went out to Qingshi Street to investigate a case a month ago, and thought that Yu Wang's Mansion was not far from the street, but he couldn't go back and have a look. Can't help but sigh.

There was still a long queue at the dim sum shop not far away, and as winter approached, the sweet-scented osmanthus cake was changed to jujube paste cake. He stood under the tree where Xu Boyuan had been waiting for him, and suddenly didn't want to leave.

Seeing him stop, Xu Li followed his gaze, "National Teacher, want some snacks? I'll let them buy them."

Ying Zhou came back to his senses, shook his head, "Let's go."

However, within two steps of walking, a figure staggered and bumped into him. Ying Zhou subconsciously reached out to help her, and the girl who was supported raised her head with an anxious expression on her face. It turned out to be Dou Lian——

Dou Lian was out of breath, "Ying, Mr. Ying! It's really you!"

"Doulian?" Ying Zhou was taken aback, "Why are you here?"

Dou Lian ran too fast, Xing Ren's eyes were red as if she was about to cry, "Young Master Ying, have you, have you seen the princess?"

Ying Zhou was taken aback again, before he could answer in the future, Xu Li raised his voice behind him, "Cousin!"

—— Isn't Xu Li's cousin Xu Boyuan?

Ying Zhou immediately turned his head to look, Xu Boyuan was tall, and he was very eye-catching across the crowd of people, so he could be seen in the crowd at a glance.His handsome brows were tightly frowned, his eyes couldn't hide his worry, and behind him were several servants from the palace.

Hearing Xu Li's shout, he looked over, and when he saw Xu Li and Ying Zhou's figure clearly, he was startled for a moment, then he pursed his lips, stepped forward quickly, and hurriedly saluted Xu Li, "Your Highness, just now Luan ran out of the mansion, did His Highness see her?"

Xu Li raised her brows, "I didn't see it. What happened to Duan Kang? Why did Duan Duan run away?"

Xu Boyuan said: "It's a long story, I will explain to His Highness when I find Aluan." Ji Yuyan's proposal of marriage to Xu Jingluan cannot be made public for the time being, once Xu Jingluan doesn't want to, otherwise she won't quarrel with him He ran out, and secondly, if the emperor knew about it, he might embarrass the Ji family.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Ying Zhou straightened the bean curtain and asked worriedly, "Where did Aluan go? Wait a minute, I'll let Xiaobai look for it."

Xiaobai doesn't like Xu Li even more than he doesn't like Xu Boyuan.Xu Li wanted to touch him a few times before, but Xiaobai was about to explode into a hedgehog, but Xu Li had astonishing perseverance like brown sugar, and he was intimidated and reluctant to give up. Xiaobai couldn't really hurt him, so that later , but whenever Xu Li was around, he would stay far away, keeping Ying Zhou within sight, but never getting close to Xu Li's reach.Today they went out of the palace, Xiaobai also came out, probably hiding somewhere on the eaves at the moment, not too far away.

It's just that there are so many people in the capital, it's not easy to find a person's taste, and Xiaobai may not be able to help.

"It's a coincidence." Xu Li glanced at Xu Boyuan meaningfully, and said in a sour tone, "Leaving the imperial teacher out of the palace alone to relax, it's better to hurry up!"

Thinking about it, it's a coincidence.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, he finally went out of the palace, and unexpectedly met Xu Boyuan like this——

Ying Zhou couldn't help looking up, and accidentally met the other party's gaze, some emotion flashed in those dark black pupils, and before he could see it clearly, Xu Boyuan had already moved his gaze away.

Xu Li said a few sarcastic remarks, and directed the people behind him to say: "Come on, everyone, go and find the princess back. This is a mixed bag, so nothing happens."

His subordinates also brought a lot of people, and immediately dispersed after receiving the order.
