The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Just at this time, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps from outside the big house, one after another figure ran towards the big house, and then spread out in front of the big house door and ran to both sides, looking from that direction, it seemed that the big house was going to be surrounded.

Xiao Yanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sat upright again, picked up the cup of herbal tea in front of him, drank it down in one gulp, and then put down the teacup unhurriedly.

The moment the teacup was released, the door of the big house was kicked open with a bang. Pei Ze stepped in with a cold face, followed by Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian.

Needless to say, the outcome has been decided.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled slightly, stood up unsteadily, and straightened the hem of his clothes: "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your hospitality. Although this cup of tea is not high-grade, it is barely worth your mouth."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yanzhi strode towards Pei Ze, but stopped in front of Pei Ze, turned around to look at Qin Tai and asked, "Master Qin must not have forgotten that officials do not engage in business?"

Qin Tai suddenly sat up straight and gave a big gift to Xiao Yanzhi.

"I will keep in mind the teachings of the prince."

It was a bad start, Qin Tai failed to restrain Xiao Yanzhi, instead he was restrained by others, which exposed his ambition and power, although it was only the tip of the iceberg, it would be heartbreaking to abandon him just like that.

"That's good." With a slight smile, Xiao Yanzhi walked out of the big house again. He had already stepped out, but stopped, turned around to look at Qin Fengming, and said with a smile, "Qin Shaoqing, do you still remember what you said just now at the gate of Da'anfang?" If so? Qin Shaoqing's crimes committed below are really confirmed."

After the words fell, Xiao Yanzhi smiled triumphantly, and left without waiting for Qin Fengming's answer.

If you dare to kidnap him, you have to be ready to pay a price, even if you can't bring Qin Tai down, you have to make him suffer for ten days and half a month.As for Qin Fengming?hey-hey.

Pei Ze still looked at Qin Tai, and said in a cold voice: "Master Qin, please don't forget to write a notebook and submit it to His Majesty regarding the matter of Da'an Square."

"Thank you King Wucheng for your suggestion." Qin Tai bowed again.

Pei Ze snorted coldly, looked at Qin Fengming in a blink of an eye, and said, "This king will keep this account for you today, stay away from the King of Shu, or I will make you look good!"

After the words fell, Pei Ze turned around and led the people away.

After turning around, Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi's back, his expression softened a little.

It seems that Xiao Yanzhi suppressed Qin Tai, but he didn't know what method Xiao Yanzhi used.

After all the people brought by Pei Ze had evacuated, Qin Tai straightened up and looked coldly at the direction Xiao Yanzhi was leaving.

"Father." Qin Fengren and Qin Fengming looked at Qin Tai at the same time, worried.

The relationship between Xiao Yanzhi and the other three seems to be good, and he seems to really not intend to join hands with the Qin family, so will he go to His Majesty and tell the Qin family about it?

Qin Tai looked at Qin Fengren, then at Qin Fengming, and suddenly raised his hand to slap Qin Qingqing.

"Useless stuff! What did I call you for?"

Qin Qingqing only heard a buzzing sound in her ears, and the scene in front of her eyes suddenly became blurred.

As if she was already used to such things, Qin Qingqing gritted her teeth, turned her face upright, lowered her head halfway, bit her lips tightly, tears were rolling in her eyes, but she suppressed herself from crying.

With a cold snort, Qin Tai once again turned his eyes to the direction where Xiao Yanzhi and his party left, and said coldly: "Ignorant boy, he can still treat his two younger brothers as brothers now, and after a while, he will I will know what Tianjia is ruthless. I want to see how long he can last. When he comes to my Qin family to ask for help, I will make him repay twice the loss today! Fengming, when I sort it out For the things submitted to His Majesty, you will bring these into the palace tonight, and apologize for your offending against the King of Shu during the day, understand?"

Qin Fengming panicked, bowed his hands and said, "My son understands."

He thought it was a certainty, so he did it a little better. He didn't expect that they failed to control Xiao Yanzhi, and a piece of meat was bitten off. After filing the complaint, their losses are not limited to this, especially for him, who personally robbed the prince, he is probably going to be in bad luck.

On the other side, Xiao Yanzhi and his party had already left Da'an Square, and they were heading north all the way under the leadership of Xiao Yanzhi who didn't recognize the way.

After catching up with Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

Hearing Pei Ze's voice, Xiao Yanzhi's unconscious footsteps suddenly stopped, and the breath he had been holding was suddenly loosened, his legs softened, and his body fell to the side.

"Xiao Yanzhi!" Pei Ze was startled, and quickly stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Yanzhi's arm, and with a strong tug, he pulled him up and brought him to him, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yanzhi regained his composure, looked up at Pei Ze with a bitter face, and complained, "Couldn't you have come earlier? I almost couldn't hold on anymore!"

If Qin Tai regained his composure and fought back again, he would really be speechless.

This can be considered as empty-handed and empty-handed. If his heart shakes a little, he will lose confidence when he speaks, and he has nothing in the first place. If he loses confidence and makes people see his weakness from his words, he will really lose his confidence. There is no chance of winning at all.

Fortunately, Qin Tai underestimated him, otherwise how could he have fought against the old fox who had been in the officialdom?

"Are you hurt?" Pei Ze asked nervously.

Xiao Yan replied with a serious face: "Well, my heart has been seriously hurt."

Pei Ze was startled, then smiled and glared at Xiao Yan.

"Is your body hurt?"

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head.

Pei Ze rolled his eyes, and pushed Xiao Yanzhi out of his arms.

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips and stood still.

"Do you believe I will come?"

When Li An said that Xiao Yanzhi trusted him, he really didn't believe it, but just now when Xiao Yanzhi complained about why he didn't come earlier, his expression was clearly determined that he would come to save him, but he was not sure when, and because he believed him It was only when Xiao Yanzhi gathered enough confidence to suppress Qin Tai.Did Xiao Yanzhi never think that he would ignore it?

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze and smiled, and said, "Brother Yi is here now?"

"What if I don't come?" Pei Ze frowned.

Xiao Yanzhi tilted his head to think for a while, then smiled and said, "But you are here."

Pei Ze wanted to ask again, but Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian had already walked beside him.

"Brother, are you alright?"

Xiao Yanzhi immediately returned to his usual gentle smile, turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "I'm fine, and I want to give you a big Mid-Autumn Festival gift."

Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian looked at each other and asked puzzledly, "What is it?"

Xiao Yanzhi said: "Find out who are the rich merchants in Chang'an who have made good friends with Qin Tai, and when Qin Tai cuts off contact with them, immediately go to make friends."

Selling favors to them, I hope they can save him trouble.

Xu Lishan frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that officials don't do business?"

Xiao Yanzhi just said this to Qin Tai, why did he ask them to contact those businessmen all of a sudden?

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled lightly, and said, "You were not asked to do business, but just to make friends."

Xu Liqian rolled his eyeballs, smiled, twisted his fingers and asked Xiao Yanzhi, "Is it good?"

"Buddha said, don't say it." With a mysterious smile, Xiao Yanzhi turned around and walked forward leisurely.

Suddenly seeing someone standing at the intersection not far away with four horses, Xiao Yanzhi turned his head to look at Pei Ze, seeing Pei Ze nodding, he knew that the person belonged to them.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi walking towards him, Xu Ren looked Xiao Yanzhi four or five times nervously from head to toe, and felt that Xiao Yanzhi was really not hurt, so Xu Ren heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yanzhi was not injured, so his guilt was lighter.

"My lord..." Xu Ren looked at Pei Ze with a guilty conscience.

Pei Ze glanced at Xu Ren, then waved his hands with a cold face.

Xu Ren understood, left the four horses behind and disappeared immediately.

Xiao Yanzhiquan pretended not to be aware of the delicate atmosphere between Pei Ze and Xu Ren, walked up to the horse with a smile on his face, stroked a maroon horse affectionately, and asked: "Isn't this horse the one brought by the second younger brother earlier?" ?”

Pei Ze took two steps forward, stopped beside Xiao Yanzhi, and replied, "No, it was brought from my residence."

"What about the second brother's horses? They look like good horses, don't ask others to lead them." Xiao Yanzhi turned to look at Xu Lishan.

Xu Lishan smiled and said: "Don't worry, big brother, those horses have all shown their faces in front of people, and they are afraid that they will be led back to the mansion if they are led around and people will see something."

"That's good." Xiao Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not because I lost the horse."

Patting the horse's head, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly smiled brightly at Pei Ze: "Brother Yi, give me a ride."

Pei Ze was startled when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously.

Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian were also stunned, staring at Xiao Yanzhi's smiling face again and again, but they couldn't understand how Xiao Yanzhi could say these words so confidently.

An imposing seven-foot man, if he rides a horse and asks someone to carry him, is he ashamed?

Thinking whether Xiao Yanzhi's legs were still weak, Pei Ze didn't ask any further questions, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yanzhi after getting on his horse: "Come up."

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, grabbed Pei Ze's hand and was pulled onto the horse by Pei Ze: "It would be nice to have an older brother."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Yanzhi unceremoniously lay on Pei Ze's back, as if he had no bones.

Unable to tell whether Xiao Yanzhi had ulterior motives or was simply acting like a baby with Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian got on their horses with delicate moods, but couldn't help but keep looking at Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi.

Pei Ze turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and said in a cold voice, "Sit properly and don't fall."

"Brother Yi, please slow down."

Pei Ze had no choice but to ride his horse and walk forward slowly.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yanzhi said to Pei Ze again in a low voice: "I want to ask brother Yi to help me."

Pei Ze's eyes tightened, and he replied in a low voice, "Say it."

Xiao Yanzhi sighed, and said, "Brother Yi, please find someone you can trust and go to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up my siblings to Chang'an."

Pei Ze was startled, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Qin Tai threatens you with them?"

"Well," Xiao Yanzhi's voice was lazy, sounding a little tired, "I thought I might be able to go back soon, even if they couldn't go back for a while, they would be safer in Jiangnan than following me They are all children who grew up in the countryside, and they will only be deceived when they come to Chang'an City. But now, it seems that everyone in Chang'an City is more capable than me, and everyone is powerful and powerful. If you have the heart, it is only a matter of time before you go to Jiangnan."

Pei Ze frowned, and asked after a while, "Do you believe me?"

Xiao Yanzhi laughed lightly, and said, "The lives of the four of us, brothers and sisters, will be left to Brother Yi for safekeeping."

In Chang'an City, there are only two people he can trust for the time being, one is the emperor, and the other is Pei Ze.

The emperor is his biological father, so it seems that it is good to treat him now, he can indulge his innocuous "offenders", and he is sincerely caring for him and taking care of him, but he will not take care of his younger siblings.

Apart from the emperor, the only person who took good care of him was Pei Ze. Although it was still unclear why Pei Ze took care of him again and again, he was willing to die because of him. Breaking into Liangyi Hall, based on this alone, he felt that he might be able to rely on Pei Ze once in a while.Furthermore, King Wucheng of the Tang Dynasty was well-known for his honesty, honesty, honesty, honesty, honesty and courage. Thaksin believed in the reputation bestowed on Pei Ze by the common people.

And I don't know if it's because they have shared the same bed more times, but recently he always feels that Pei Ze is much kinder.

After hearing Xiao Yanzhi's answer, Pei Ze turned around to look at Xiao Yanzhi, then turned back, and said solemnly: "Tomorrow I will arrange for someone to leave for Jiangnan, and I will let you meet after I get back and settle down. "

"Thank you Brother Yi." Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "I will write a letter when I go back to the palace, Brother Yi will take it with you, and my younger brother will obediently follow after seeing the letter."

Hearing that Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, he asked curiously, "If there is no letter, they wouldn't have come?"

Xiao Yanzhi proudly said: "You can't trust strangers, you can't go with strangers, didn't your mother teach you when you were young?"

Pei Ze was startled, then shook his head and laughed.

Here Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze rode together, whispering intimately, and from time to time, you can see a rare smile on Pei Ze's face, and Xu Lishan over there is so eyeballed that his eyes stick to Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze Ze body.

Maybe it's because he has seen too much life and death on the battlefield. Brother Pei has an indifferent personality and has always been difficult to get close to others. Most of his friends today are former comrades-in-arms, and they are friendships that can depend on life and death. Brother Pei only smiles occasionally, and it's only occasionally, but today Brother Pei smiles unexpectedly a lot, and every time he smiles, it's because of Xiao Yanzhi.

Although he had previously discussed with Brother Pei to establish a good relationship with Xiao Yanzhi in order to find out Xiao Yanzhi's real purpose, but Brother Pei's actions were too fast?This is a little too close, right?Is it worth it?

Xu Liqian also noticed Pei Ze's abnormality. Although he was also curious about when Pei Ze became so close to Xiao Yanzhi, Xu Liqian wanted to know what Xu Lishan was thinking now.

Rolling his eyes, Xu Liqian said in a low voice: "Obviously he is our elder brother, why did he become intimate with King Wu Cheng first?"

Xu Lishan's eyes flashed, but he didn't answer.

Xu Liqian smiled secretly, and said again: "It seems that it takes a long time to fall in love. We have only been with the big emperor brother for less than half a month, so it must not be compared with Wu Chengwang's year. Think carefully, the two of them The year of chasing and fleeing is also a process of getting to know each other. If Brother Da Huang doesn’t understand what King Wu Cheng is thinking, how can he escape? If King Wu Cheng can’t guess what Brother Da Huang is thinking, how can he catch up with him? Tsk tsk , If I had known this before, I would have accepted this task at the beginning, not only can I travel around the world with Brother Dahuang, but I can also connect with brothers, how good it is?"

Xu Lishan secretly gritted his teeth.

What's the use of Xu Liqian saying this now?What was he thinking when his father mentioned this matter?If he can come out ahead, why does Brother Pei have to go this trip in person?

Xiao Yanzhi who was sitting behind Pei Ze suddenly shuddered.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze asked in a low voice as Xiao Yanzhi's trembling was visibly felt on the back close to Xiao Yan's chest.

Xiao Yanzhi looked around for a while, wondering: "Why do I feel like there is a murderous intent?"

Hearing this, Pei Ze immediately looked around nervously, and even turned the horse's head to take a closer look at the places behind.

"There's no one."

Noticing Xu Lishan's slightly gloomy face, Xiao Yanzhi understood in his heart, and said with a smile: "I didn't say that there are assassins, there is a righteous brother here, who dares to assassinate without long-sightedness? Let's die."

"Where's the murderous intent without an assassin?" Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously.

Is Xiao Yanzhi playing tricks on him again?

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes to the sky: "Slow."

After speaking, she lay on Pei Ze's back and closed her eyes to rest.

Riding a horse is exhausting physical work, especially when riding alone. Not only do you have to be bumpy, but you also have to be vigilant and careful to control the horse. Every time you get off the horse, Xiao Yanzhi feels physically and mentally exhausted It's rare that today he only needs to hold on to Pei Ze, and of course he has to relax and enjoy it.

However, when Xiao Yanzhi leaned on him like this, Xu Lishan's eyes turned cold again.

It's not a woman, what is Xiao Yanzhi doing with Brother Pei?Don't be afraid to be laughed at!

Of course, what Xu Lishan cared more about was Pei Ze's connivance.

In this world, the person he doesn't want to be his enemy is Big Brother Pei. Big Brother Pei must not ruin the brotherhood between the two of them because of an unscrupulous person who came out of nowhere...

With no one making trouble, the way back to the palace went very smoothly. When he returned to Wanchun Palace alone, Xiao Yanzhi locked himself in the bedroom with the excuse that he wanted to take a nap.

Sitting by the bed, there was no one around him, Lian Sheng and Xiushui were standing outside the door, but they didn't make any sound. In such silence, Xiao Yanzhi's hands trembled slightly, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated , so fast that it made Xiao Yanzhi a little uncomfortable.

Damn!When he learned that the emperor was going to take him back to the palace, he only thought about what the emperor and the princes would do to him, but he completely ignored the civil and military ministers of the Manchu dynasty. Those ministers who are clinging to the prince are also looking forward to following the prince they have chosen to reach the sky. If they are lucky enough to follow a fool, they may be able to control the power of the world. He actually forgot...

Fortunately, Qin Tai only found out where the siblings were, and did not arrest them. It would be fine if Pei Ze could bring the siblings back to Chang'an before Qin Tai or others, but if not...

Sure enough, he still can't just sit still like this, even if he has no intention of getting involved in those power struggles, he must have the ability to protect his younger siblings, otherwise, in today's situation, he still can only put on airs, and he can deceive others, but he cannot he himself.At least the brothers and sisters should be able to have a safe hiding place when something big happens.

Once he settled down, Xiao Yanzhi's hands stopped shaking. In the silent room, Xiao Yanzhi sat motionless by the bed, thinking about his next move.

As the unitary hour approached, Xiao Yanzhi's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Your Highness, are you up?"

Xiao Yanzhi suddenly regained his senses, turned around and wiped the bed with his hands, then tore off the quilt and shook it casually, looking as if someone had slept before, and then responded.

"I woke up."

After hearing Xiao Yanzhi's answer, Xiushui and Lian Sheng pushed the door open and entered.

With a smile on Lian Sheng's face, he said: "Your Highness, today's palace banquet will start at Xu time, and it will be arranged in the Forbidden Garden. If Your Highness changes clothes now, he will probably be able to arrive earlier, so as not to be too flustered. Look, Your Highness... ...?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and said, "Just listen to Lian Sheng."

"Okay!" The smile on Lian Sheng's face immediately became brighter, "The servant waits for His Highness to change clothes?"

Xiao Yanzhi nodded and stood up.

Putting on red sandalwood-colored clothes, Xiao Yanzhi casually glanced at the bronze mirror, but without seeing his own appearance clearly, he asked Lian Sheng, "Who will be at today's palace banquet?"

Lian Sheng had already inquired about it a long time ago, and when he heard Xiao Yanzhi's question, he immediately replied: "Returning to Your Highness, His Majesty ordered all concubines, princes and princesses to attend the banquet today, presumably to make everyone in the harem recognize him. Once you recognize His Majesty, otherwise His Majesty will usually only let some people attend such a family banquet."

Xiao Yan was stunned, and asked with the corner of his mouth twitching, "How many concubines... are there in the harem?"

Lian Sheng was stunned, and replied blankly: "Your Highness, forgive me, this servant really doesn't know."

There are one more concubines in the harem today and one less tomorrow, even the elderly who have served in the harem for decades can't remember the number.

What Lian Sheng said about not knowing is no different from innumerable in Xiao Yanzhi's ears, and it is depressing.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi didn't look very happy, Lian Sheng said again: "But don't worry, Your Highness, even if all the concubines go, there are only about a dozen who can show their faces in front of you, Your Highness, and the rest are not enough. , I will say hello to you with the big guys, and then retreat to an inconspicuous place."

Zhao Kang mentioned earlier that Lian Sheng no longer dared to speculate on Xiao Yanzhi's meaning compared to other princes' thoughts. After a few days, he really saw Xiao Yanzhi's preferences, and everything else was easy to say, but this The place where Xi Jing is afraid of trouble is called Lian Sheng Shangxin.

"That's it."

Sure enough, when Lian Sheng said this, Xiao Yanzhi looked relieved.

After tidying up Xiao Yanzhi's hair crown, Xiushui added: "Apart from the Second Highness and the Third Highness, the prince in the palace only has an eight-year-old Fourth Highness, and there are three princesses. The Eldest Princess Qingwan is only fourteen years old. The second princess, Princess Mingyue, is a little more lively, she is nine years old this year, and the third princess, Princess Jingle, is only four years old."

Xiao Yanzhi was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he said worriedly: "It's the first time we meet today, but I didn't prepare gifts for my brothers and sisters, what should I do?"

He thought that the emperor had been busy fighting wars these years, and apart from Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian, he would have at most one more daughter, but why did four people appear all of a sudden?The life of the emperor during the war was also quite colorful.

Lian Sheng and Xiushui looked at each other, Xiushui turned around and went to the side room, Lian Sheng smiled and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "The palace doesn't pay much attention to this meeting ceremony, Your Highness, your status is noble, and everyone else wants to give it to you. You don’t have to give any greetings to please you, and no one can find fault with you, but the servants thought that His Highness might care about these, so they prepared some.”

"What did you prepare?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Lian Sheng in surprise.

The winning streak in the past few days is much smarter than before, and the work is more in line with his wishes. I don't know if someone reminded him, or he figured it out.

Xiushui and the other two maids walked back to Xiao Yanzhi with four boxes in their arms, and said with a smile: "It is said that the servants prepared them, but these are actually His Highness's things. His Highness must not remember, you just came to Wanchun Palace That day, His Majesty rewarded you with two boxes of things, but you didn't even look at them, and only let the servants keep them, and you never asked about them after that."

Lian Sheng hurriedly continued: "The servants didn't expect to give a meeting gift at all, they just heard passing eunuchs muttering that they didn't know who to give gifts to, the servants said so to Xiushui after returning to the Wanchun Palace, Xiushui Thinking of this, I said that our palace doesn’t pay much attention to these things, but His Highness came from outside the palace, so maybe he cared, so the servants made their own decisions, opened the two boxes, and picked out four items. Without His Highness’s permission, the servants They are willing to be punished."

After speaking, Lian Sheng and Xiushui led the people to kneel down in front of Xiao Yanzhi.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and said: "You guys, I'm sure I won't punish you. Get up. Open the box, and I'll see what you pick out."

He never wanted to be the master of Wanchun Palace, nor did he want to be the owner of Lian Sheng and Xiushui, so he never established rules. Judging his rules and habits depends on his face, and he himself is a man without rules, so that it seems that there are less and less rules of respect in the Palace of Ten Thousand Springs.

It's good to just let loose like this, in this way, others will see Wanchun Palace as unruly, and they will think him as an incompetent person, anyway, he doesn't want to cultivate one or two confidantes in Wanchun Palace.

People in the palace don't need it if they can... Pei Ze is an exception.

With Xiao Yanzhi's brilliant kung fu, Xiushui had already opened the four boxes. Xiao Yanzhi took a closer look and saw that the boxes were filled with objects such as the Four Treasures of the Study. They were considered standard gifts, because they were all given by the emperor. They came here, so the quality of those things is not bad, and they can still be sold.

"You have helped me a lot," Xiao Yanzhi smiled and closed the four boxes one by one, "There is no need to bring this box to the banquet, Xiushui, you estimate the time, after the palace banquet is over, give it to your brothers and sisters." Send it. Prepare three other items, and make up for King Wu Cheng and his two younger brothers. They are also brothers, so it’s not good to favor one over the other.”

"Yes, Your Highness." Xiushui waved her hand, and the two maids following her hugged the box down.

After getting ready, Xiao Yanzhi took Lian Sheng and went out with He Yan, and before he stepped out of Wanchun Palace, he saw the Jianyu he saw when he first entered the palace.

The corner of Xiao Yanzhi's mouth trembled, and he asked Lian Sheng, "I have to sit on this?"

No matter how many times he looked at it, he didn't like the exposed shoulders, especially if it was carried by manpower, he didn't even want to sit on it.

Lian Sheng nodded and smiled: "Yes, Your Highness, the Forbidden Garden is in the northwest of the harem. It's not too far away, but it's not too close. If you walk there, you will inevitably get tired. I don't know when the palace banquet will end at night. Your Highness You need to save some effort."

Xiao Yanzhi frowned and asked, "Can't you ride a horse from outside the palace?"

"Eh... There is really no precedent for this." Lian Sheng was a little embarrassed, and he sent a look to He Yan for help, but He Yan completely ignored him, "People who live in the palace go to the Forbidden Garden, this is how they go."

"No precedent?" Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled evilly, "Where is the nearest palace gate? Let's go out of the palace."

It's just that there is no precedent, and he didn't say that it is not allowed. Isn't he just setting a precedent?

"Ah?" Lian Sheng was stunned when he heard this, "Your Highness, this, is this not good?"

"What's wrong?" Thinking of a good way, Xiao Yanzhi stepped out of the Wanchun Palace in a good mood, walked past the Jianyu and the four little eunuchs guarding the Jianyu, all the way to the south , "He Yan, do you know where I can get a horse?"

"I'm going to lead the horse now, Your Highness, please wait a moment in front of Changle Gate."

He Yan didn't panic like Lian Sheng, anyway, it was Xiao Yanzhi who made the decision, even if he offended the emperor, it's not on He Yan's fault, Xiao Yanzhi didn't panic, why was he panicking?

"Then I'll wait for you!" Shouting towards He Yan's back, Xiao Yanzhi felt excited.

I don't know where He Yan borrowed the horse. When Xiao Yanzhi and Lian Sheng arrived at Changle Gate, He Yan was already waiting there with three horses.

"Good job!" Xiao Yanzhi walked quickly to the side of the horse, and as soon as he put his hand on the saddle, he jumped up, "Where are you going?"

He Yan got on his horse immediately, and his movements were very neat: "Go west, turn north after exiting Anfumen."

"Okay!" Xiao Yanzhi swung his whip and urged the horse, galloped out, and added, "Remind me if I make a mistake!"

He Yan raised his whip for a moment, then dropped his whip, and followed Xiao Yan closely.

Lian Sheng, who had just climbed onto the horse, saw Xiao Yanzhi and He Yan had already run a long way before he could sit still, and immediately felt like crying.

"Your Highness, wait for your servant!"

He is just an ordinary eunuch, and has never learned how to ride a horse!

No matter how bitter Lian Sheng was in his heart, Xiao Yanzhi and He Yan, who were in a good mood while blowing the wind, drove fast all the way, and within two quarters of an hour they completed the journey that usually took more than an hour to complete.

At the end of the gallop, Xiao Yanzhi jerked the reins, and the steed under his seat raised its front hooves, and came to a beautiful stop. The handsome and unrestrained appearance made the concubines who happened to come to the Forbidden Garden at the same time see their hearts fluttering. They all speculated where this handsome man came from.

Stopping his horse, turning his head to look back, Xiao Yanzhi realized that the winning streak was gone.

"He Yan, what about winning streak?"

It was also a long time since He Yan rode and ran so briskly, and when he was enjoying the aftertaste, he heard Xiao Yanzhi's question, and he was shocked when he turned his head to look.

"Humble job... Go back and look for it." What a disappointment...

"Then I'll wait for you here." With an embarrassed smile, Xiao Yanzhi got off his horse.

The guards guarding the Forbidden Garden had never seen Xiao Yanzhi, but when they saw Xiao Yanzhi's clothes, they immediately thought of the eldest prince who had just entered the palace and the new king of Shu. Xiao Yanzhi's horse was taken away so that it could be resettled.

Xiao Yanzhi leaned against the wooden fence that served as the gate of the Forbidden Garden, smelling the fragrance of grass and trees brought by the wind, and looking at the setting sun, he felt comfortable.

Close your eyes, but you can still see the warm halo of the setting sun, and when you are slightly dazed, you mistakenly think that you are back by the river in the south of the Yangtze River.

In Jiangnan, the house they live in is not big, unlike the palace where everything is the best, but there is no shortage of daily necessities.

He himself likes a simple life, but his simplicity may mean poverty in the eyes of his brothers and sisters. He can't bear to let the ignorant brothers and sisters suffer what they shouldn't have to suffer, but he doesn't want to let the rich deprive them of their simple life, so he only brings Let the siblings find a quiet town to settle down, buy a small but sturdy house, the neighbors are mostly local small businessmen, simple and educated, and buy a small but excellent location store, Selling some homemade wine doesn't need to make too much money, just enough for them to have meat to eat every day and clothes for changing seasons, enough to buy books for Ren'an, snacks for Xiangsheng, and makeup powder for Junmeng.

In the south of the Yangtze River, they get up every day when the cock crows and rest at sunset. During the day, they watch the business of the store together with their younger siblings. They close the store when the sun goes down. They go fishing by the river in the suburbs with the setting sun. They couldn’t sit still, couldn’t catch fish, so they simply let them dig wild vegetables, and after they caught a dinner, they went home. The second younger brother Xiangsheng went to the cellar to look at the wine.

……

Thinking of his younger siblings far away in the south of the Yangtze River, even with their eyes closed, they could find a gentle smile on Xiao Yanzhi's face. This smile made passers-by stop and look at each other, secretly guessing. With Xiao Yanzhi's identity, he was even more curious about what he thought of to smile so gently.

When Pei Ze and Xu Lishan arrived, they saw sedan chairs of different shapes parked in front of the Forbidden Garden, which looked like the sedan chairs used by concubines in the harem, but everyone had arrived, and they couldn't go inside the Forbidden Garden, what were they doing outside?

Xu Lishan poked his head and looked around curiously, his mind froze when he saw it, and he immediately understood why there were so many small sedan chairs parked in front of the gate of the Forbidden Garden.

Standing in front of the gate of the Forbidden Garden was a handsome and handsome man. How could these concubines, who never saw other men except their father, stop to take a good look?

"Brother Pei, Brother Dahuang is over there."

Hearing this, Pei Ze, who was still closing his eyes and resting his mind, opened his eyes eagerly, sat up straight and looked forward. When he saw Xiao Yanzhi basking in the sunset with a happy face, Pei Ze felt his teeth itch with hatred.

It was the first time for Xiao Yanzhi to attend a palace banquet. Pei Ze was worried that Xiao Yanzhi would be afraid. When he set off for the Forbidden Garden, he went to Wanchun Palace to look for Xiao Yanzhi. Unexpectedly, when he and Xu Lishan arrived, Xiao Yanzhi had already left After arriving at Wanchun Palace, Pei Zete ordered the little eunuch who carried his shoulders to hurry up, thinking that it would be fine if he caught up halfway, but in the end, let alone halfway, everyone else had arrived here, but there was no sign of Xiao Yanzhi. After catching up, I was worried that something was wrong with this person, but I saw him standing in front of the gate of the Forbidden Garden enjoying the sunset, and many people stopped to watch... Is he worried for nothing?

Before the little eunuch put the shoulder pads on the ground, Pei Ze rolled over from the side of the shoulder pads and strode toward Xiao Yanzhi's direction.

"His Royal Highness came down so early!"

Pei Ze's shout not only awakened Xiao Yanzhi from his dream, but also scared all the concubines who were staring at Xiao Yanzhi ecstatically.

His Majesty?who?Which one is Your Majesty?

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head when he heard the sound, and before the tenderness in his expression disappeared, he tilted his head and smiled at Pei Ze.

"Brother Yi...and Second Emperor Brother are also here."

When Xiao Yanzhi turned his head, the concubines were immediately covered in cold sweat, they put down the curtains of the sedan chairs and urged the bearers to quickly carry them into the forbidden garden.

It's a pity, if that person is a guard of some temple, they can still find a way to come to them, even if they can only look at it every day, it is pleasing to the eye, but how can such a handsome person who is so good to die is the one who has been rumored recently What about His Royal Highness?No matter in appearance or temperament, he is nothing like the other two highnesses, and he doesn't look much like His Majesty, so why is it His Highness?

But that smile just now is really pretty... A side face without a smile is also pretty!

Seeing those small sedan chairs rushing into the Forbidden Garden, Pei Ze snorted coldly.

"When did Your Highness arrive?" Standing still in front of Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze stared at Xiao Yanzhi coldly.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth innocently, not understanding why he was being stared at.

Wasn't it fine when they went back to the palace together?After only a short while, he didn't meet Pei Ze, so why did he provoke him again?

"I've been here for a while... maybe."

As expected of being a general, Pei Ze's eyes are really bold, which makes him a little scared.

Xu Lishan also stopped in front of Xiao Yanzhi, and asked suspiciously: "Brother Huang, why did you come so early? Brother Yi and I went to Wanchun Hall to look for you, and we didn't see you on the way here, Brother Huang Which way did you go?"

"You guys went to look for me?" Xiao Yanzhi smiled, "I took a long detour and came here on horseback after leaving the palace."

"Riding a horse?" Xu Lishan's eyes widened when he heard this, "Why, why did you come riding a horse?"

"Well, just come on horseback."

Seeing Xu Lishan's astonished expression, Xiao Yanzhi felt very accomplished.

Pei Ze still had a cold face, and asked again: "Since you're here, why don't you go in?"

Did he stand at the door specially, because he was afraid that others would not see him?

"Ah... this one,"
