Brother Heng got up early in the morning. It was already October, and the weather was already very cold. Although it hadn't snowed yet, Brother Heng started to wear thick winter clothes early.

In this way, going to the palace to do accompanying reading, although it only takes a few hours to accompany reading, and you can go home in the afternoon, but Xu is still afraid that Brother Heng will be cold when he is in the palace. Putting on the cloak, he was originally made of silk tapestry for him to wear, but after thinking about it later, he felt that it was too dazzling. Brother Heng was going to the palace as a foil, and the less outstanding he was, the safer he was. He took off his clothes and put on clothes that were just satin.

It took some time for Mrs. Xu to arrange the clothes for Brother Heng. Brother Heng kept his eyebrows down and let Mrs. Xu tidy them up, without any impatience.

After Xu Shi finally dressed him up, he said, "Mother, there is no need to be so solemn. I will go to the palace every day from now on. If you get up every day to prepare these for me, then you don't need to be so solemn." If you don't rest well, if you don't rest well, you will be in poor health. In this way, it is the sin of the son, and the son is not filial."

Xu smiled and stroked his already tied hair, "You can only speak these official words at a young age, and you are not as lively as Qilang at all."

Brother Heng said embarrassedly, "Cousin really has a sweeter mouth."

Mrs. Xu laughed again, and took Brother Heng to have breakfast in the Dongci room. Mr. Ji rested in the front yard, and now he also came into the back yard. When entering the Dongci room, Mrs. Xu and Brother Heng Haven't sat down at the table yet.

Mr. Ji took the main seat, and Mrs. Xu and Mr. Heng went to sit down. Mr. Ji looked at Mr. Heng's clothes. Mr. Heng was dressed in lotus-colored clothes, and the wind on the neckline set off his jade-white With a face, it is very fair and delicate. Mr. Ji is very satisfied with Brother Heng's good looks. If it weren't for his good looks, it would not have been recommended to let him enter the palace as a companion at that time.

The three of them had a few mouthfuls of food, and Xu Qilang ran in from the outside. He blushed and said with a smile, "Brother Heng wants to enter the palace as a companion, and I intended to send him out. He got up late, hehe... "

Smiling with a mouthful of white teeth.

Mrs. Xu hurriedly asked the servant girl to bring another set of dishes, and said to Xu Qilang, "Hurry up and sit down and eat. You usually can't wake up, and you can't wake up when you fall asleep to send Brother Heng, so what's the matter."

Xu Qilang sat next to Brother Heng, looked at Brother Heng with burning eyes, and said hello to Mrs. Ji, and then said to Mrs. Xu, "Brother Heng is going there on the first day, and he may be nervous. I You have to send it."

Brother Heng glanced at him, but said nothing.

The little maid had already put Xu Qilang's bowls and plates away, and there was a bowl of porridge in the bowl, Xu Qilang started to eat quickly with the bowl in his hand, without any elegance at all, Master Ji glanced at him more, but didn't say anything .

Mr. Ji has always been serious, but Xu Qilang is not afraid of him, but more afraid of Mrs. Xu.He felt it when Master Ji glanced at him, but he still didn't slow down the speed of eating. After finishing a bowl of porridge, he handed it to the maid next to him for Sheng, and he started to eat with a small steamed bun already in his chopsticks.

Brother Heng was under the table and kicked Xu Qilang. Xu Qilang was eating the whole steamed bun and chewing it. The porridge quickly took two sips.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xu quickly asked the maid to pat him on the back. Brother Heng didn't bother the maid, so he helped him. Xu Qilang raised his head and smiled at him, "Thank you."

Brother Heng rolled his eyes in his heart.

A meal is eaten quickly, it is still early at this time, and it is still dark outside, Master Ji is going to go to the morning court at this time, Brother Heng is going to be a companion for the first day, Master Ji asked him to go with him Let's go together, that's why Brother Heng got up so early.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Qilang sent Brother Heng and Mr. Ji out of the second door to the courtyard of the sedan chair and entered the palace by car. Mr. Ji chose a book boy for Brother Heng to accompany Brother Heng into the palace. At this time, the book boy stood Wait in the car yard.

It was very cold in the morning, and the few wind lamps in the yard were on, but the light was not very bright.

Mrs. Xu earnestly wanted to tell the book boy to take good care of Brother Heng, so Mrs. Ji said, "I have already told you that I have chosen him, so there will be no problem."

Xu snorted coldly in her heart, but said nothing on her face.

The carriage slowly left Ji's mansion, Mr. Ji and brother Heng were sitting in the carriage to talk, the book boy was holding the piano and the coachman was sitting on the shaft of the carriage.

Mrs. Xu stood in the yard, staring at the carriage as it slowly went out. Brother Heng suddenly showed his face from the curtain of the car, and said to Mrs. Xu, "Mother, it's cold in the morning, you should go back quickly."

Xu smiled and waved at him without speaking.She had thousands of instructions to her son, but she knew that it was useless to say anything.

When the carriage disappeared into the alley in front, when Xu turned around to go back to the room, she realized that Xu Qilang had gone somewhere. She thought Xu Qilang went back to the room to catch up on sleep, so she didn't think much about it and didn't ask.

Xu Qilang rode Xuezi sent by his father not long ago to follow Master Ji's carriage. After a year of growth, Xuezi was already a tall horse. Xu Qilang rode a docile horse more safely.

There are quite a few adults who go to the early court in the morning. When you walk up the avenue to Danfengmen, you will encounter several carriages and sedan chairs. The ministers who can go to the early court in the court are generally not young. It is cold in winter and they are willing to ride horses against the wind. Not many people went to court, almost all took carriages or sedan chairs, Xu Qilang rode a horse and followed them on the same road at a young age, which attracted the attention of many people, but Xu Qilang didn't care, others just because of prudence Waiting for the reason without saying anything, so that at the gate of Danfeng Gate, Master Ji and Brother Heng got out of the carriage, only to find Xu Qilang following.

Mr. Ji was very surprised. He didn't enter the city gate. After saying hello to a few adults he met, he called Xu Qilang and Brother Heng to the side, "Qilang, why did you follow me here? After sending them off in the mansion , it’s fine if you don’t.”

Brother Heng looked at Xu Qilang, he knew Xu Qilang much better than Master Ji, so he didn't need to ask, he already knew what Xu Qilang meant.

Sure enough, Xu Qilang put on a solemn face and said, "Uncle, I am much better than holding a piano, let me follow Brother Heng into the palace to be his book boy."

Master Ji was sullen and impatient in his heart, "Why do you always have no rules, is this something that can be messed up? Go back quickly."

But Xu Qilang said, "I know what you need in the palace is to be cautious in your words and deeds. If you want to understand the rules, please let me accompany Brother Heng into the palace."

Master Ji didn't want to talk to the children, and wanted to signal the coachman on the side to take Xu Qilang back. At this time, Brother Heng said to Master Ji, "Father, let me have a word with my cousin."

Master Ji glanced at him and nodded.

Xu Qilang's eyes lit up, Brother Heng dragged him to the base of the wall, and said, "Hurry back, who wants you to accompany me into the palace."

Xu Qilang originally thought that Brother Heng wanted him to follow, but he didn't expect Brother Heng to say such words, which made him snort in anger. Brother Heng ignored his anger and continued, "You followed me to the palace , you won't be with me at all, I'm a companion for the emperor, you can only wait in other places with other people's book boys, you are such an arrogant person, can you stand others watching you right now?"

Xu Qilang said, "I can."

Brother Heng stretched out his hand to hold his hand. Xu Qilang's hand was warm, but Brother Heng's was cold. Brother Heng looked at him tenderly, "But I can't. You won't be able to help at all if you follow along." It will distract me from worrying about you. Go back and don't let me worry about you, okay? "

Xu Qilang felt a little wronged, blinked his eyes, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go back and wait for you at home."

Brother Heng clapped his hand, smiled at him again, and said, "I understand your affection, and I will always remember it. Thank you."

Xu Qilang was embarrassed by what he said, and blushed and said, "Okay, you are in the palace, you have to take good care of yourself, if someone bullies you, you must tell me when you come back."

Brother Heng nodded, "Okay. I know."

Xu Qilang laughed.

Brother Heng continued to explain, "Don't ride a horse when you go back. You can ride a horse when you grow up. Go back in a carriage."

As he spoke, he pulled Xu Qilang back to Mr. Ji, and said, "Father, my cousin said he is willing to go back, so it would be nice to let the carriage take him back."

Master Ji saw that Brother Heng persuaded Xu Qilang, and felt very satisfied, "That's exactly what I mean." He turned to Xu Qilang, "You are still so young, and you just ride a big horse. If something happens, we can I can’t explain it to your family.”

Xu Qilang said, "It's fine if I ride a bigger horse than this one."

Mr. Ji was not good at disciplining Xu Qilang, so he was very helpless to him, so he had to ask the coachman to take Xu Qilang back quickly.

Xu Qilang was still reluctant to leave Brother Heng, and took his hand and said a few words to let him take care of himself, and then told Baoqin to take care of Brother Heng, and then left.

Brother Heng and Lord Ji returned to the gate of the palace, but they met Zhao Zhili who was standing aside. Zhao Zhili was wearing a thick gorilla felt cloak, which made people feel warm in this winter day. He was just a young boy, In front of all the old ministers, he also had a sullen face without a smile, and he didn't say hello to others, which made people feel that he was too rude.

Brother Heng didn't expect that he still remembered him, and when he was about to say hello first, Zhao Zhili had already saluted Lord Ji, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then said, "Brother Tong Heng will be a classmate from now on, please take care of me. "

He spoke politely, but his demeanor was still arrogant.

Master Ji said, "Brother Heng is young and ignorant. He is in the palace. Please ask your nephew to take care of him."

Brother Heng also bowed to Zhao Zhili and said, "Please take care of Mr. Zhao."

Zhao Zhili said, "You can just call me Zhili, what is your name Mr. Zhao?"

Then he turned to Master Ji, "Master Ji is going to the morning court, and I can take Brother Heng to the side hall of Qinzheng Hall."

Master Ji said a few more polite words to Zhao Zhili, passed Danfeng Gate with them, and then had to separate.

Brother Heng was followed by Baoqin who was holding books and items for him, and Zhao Zhili was followed by a book boy.

Walking from the corridor to the Hall of Qinzheng, Zhao Zhili glanced at Brother Heng who was a head shorter than him. Brother Heng was dressed in the color of lotus root, just like the buds that just sprouted in spring. In this cold palace, let the His eyes lit up, but Brother Heng kept his head down and looked at the floor as he walked, so that he could only see his head with a hood on it, and nothing else.

Zhao Zhili said, "Who was that person who held your hand just now? I was afraid that you would enter the palace if you entered the dragon's pond and tiger's lair, so I will send you to the gate of the palace."

Brother Heng glanced sideways at Zhao Zhili, but didn't dare to look any further, just glanced lightly, and replied in a low voice, "It's my cousin who grew up with me."

His voice is small and soft, but it has a special flavor, which makes people think that he is a relatively timid person, not aggressive.

Zhao Zhili smiled, "Cousin? I think you look like a little girl, but you are really cute. The emperor has never forgotten you since he saw you, and he insisted on having you as a companion."

Brother Heng didn't know how to answer, so he had no choice but to not answer.I was thinking in my heart, if the emperor was really that simple, he wouldn't have to come into the palace.
