The prince in the cold palace

He ate a meal in a muddle, and was finally taken back to the Leng Palace by his father-in-law. It was not until he met his mother and concubine Lufang that he felt a little real about being disabled.

Pulled by Mu Ao, he asked if there was any embarrassment, whether His Majesty had something to say in the conversation, so detailed that he almost had to investigate every look and every movement, for fear that Zhifei didn't notice the hidden emotions of the emperor.

Zhi Fei thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it. The two people at the dinner table hardly said anything. Basically, the emperor asked and Zhi Fei answered. The questions asked were nothing more than homework, life, and what he likes to eat. , I asked about everything that happened in the palace.

Including the matter of Concubine Xiao.

Zhi Fei thought, since even the words and deeds of the princes in the Taixue class will be heard by the emperor, then the farce like last time must not be concealed. If you don’t ask yourself, there is probably nothing to ask. He was punished for copying the "Li Zha".

Thinking of the part that he hadn't finished copying, Zhi Fei rubbed his hands together, and exhaled slowly in the palm of his hand. In autumn, the night is relatively cold, and the palm can still maintain a little warmth, but the fingers will be frozen cold. I'm afraid this situation will be more serious.

I hope the copying can be finished before the snow falls, after all, even with the help of the princes, the amount of work left is not small.

Wen Han also often helped him copy books until late at night. Mu Ao learned calligraphy when he was a child, and occasionally helped him write, but his writing speed was far less than his speed of swinging a sword.

He took out the small box from his bosom, put it in front of the lamp, stared at the patterns on the box with small eyes, held his head while holding his head, Zhi Fei sighed.

Then I thought of the greeting team during the day, the growing princes, the imperial chariot, and...

Small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, courtyards, the unfathomable father.

As if thinking of something, Zhi Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Anyway, let's ask..." Pulling up the quilt, Zhi Fei slowly fell asleep.

Riding and archery lessons the next afternoon.

"Huh? I don't know any old beggars who are all in tatters. You can tell they're dirty just by listening to them!" Pulling the reins, stepping on the stirrups, Zhiqing flipped onto the horse lightly, caught the horse's belly, and ran to the pasture, leaving behind Next to the stables is the waste and a cloud of dust kicked up.

Inadvertently inhaling some dust and coughing a few times, Zhi Po could only touch the place where the hard object was placed in his arms in disappointment, helplessly led another horse, and stepped on the stirrup carefully.

The only person in the palace who was called "Little Five" was probably the Fifth Prince Zhiqing, but he clearly said that he didn't know any old beggars.

Who is that "little five"? Does "Little Five" really need this box?

"Your Highness."

Mu Ao put on a piece of clothing for Zhifei, thanked Zhifei, and then continued with his hands.I have written the same sentence dozens of times, and there are still dozens of times to go. I am a little tired of holding on to waste, and my patience is not as good as before.

Who can read the same words dozens of times and still find it fresh and interesting?

Mu Ao smiled in relief, took out a piece of copper from his sleeve, and placed it in front of Zhi Fei, "This is the waist card for going out of the palace."

"Huh?" Zhifei looked at the other party in confusion, and Mu Ao took away the Langhao brush from Zhifei's hand, and casually threw it on the pen holder, "Tomorrow there is no class in Taiyuan College, let's go out of the palace."

Zhi Fei's eyes widened. He had never been out of the palace. Although the past few years in the palace had been dull, he never had a strong desire to go out. The palace people returning to their hometowns to visit their relatives seemed to have no attachment to going out of the palace.

In fact, it's the same everywhere.

People who have lived two lives are not like those men and women who have unrealistic fantasies about life. As long as there is a stable environment, it is the same no matter where it is.

Mu Ao stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Zhi Fei's eyes. His highness is so cute even after saying this, and with a doting smile on his face, Mu Ao repeated, "How is it, your highness, do you want to go out and have a look?"

It is true that he has never seen what the outside world looks like, and Zhi Fei tilted his head slightly, with a faint smile on his small face under the candlelight, "...Okay."

The air outside the palace is fresher than in the palace. Maybe there is no difference, but I always feel a little angry. The alleys not far from the palace are open early in the morning. The shops are open early in the morning. In order to attract customers, the bazaar The noise in the restaurant and the people coming and going in the tea shop and restaurant are really lively.

All kinds of people on the street are very different from those in the palace. The people in the palace have single expressions and monotonous speech, completely different from the people on the street in various poses and expressions. Feeling a bit.

Mu Ao seemed to be very familiar with these roads. With Zhi Fei and Wen Han, he turned left and right. Mu Ao, who was walking in front, was full of vigor, and smiled heartily, "Your Highness, follow closely."

Stories of one kind or another are staged on the lively street every day, and the figures of the three teenagers gradually disappear in the crowd.

Passing through one noisy alley after another, Mu Ao walked into an inn with Zhi Fei. The plaque on the inn was very dilapidated, and it must be a time-honored brand. Mu Ao looked at the inn with proud eyes. Not too big or too small, "It's just that I bought it recently. Over the years, I have saved a lot of money from the sword fight. If His Highness leaves the palace in the future, there will be a place to go."

It has to be said that a person like Mu Ao also has such a careful side.

Wen Han seemed to know about this, and looked at Zhi Po with a slight embarrassment, "I didn't tell His Highness in time, because I wanted to surprise His Highness..."

Zhi Fei smiled, "This is very good, I like this place very much."

Mu Ao and Wen Han also laughed.

Walking into the inn, I found an unexpected person in a clean corner.

A pot of tea was placed on the clean table, white porcelain with blue patterns, outlining a few orchids, simple and elegant, paired with white porcelain cups, also of the same design and color, the small shop is a little more refined and less elegant. A bit of market spirit.

One of the two teenagers sitting next to that table was drinking tea, holding the cup in both hands and smelling the heat in the cup, while the other picked up a few pieces of snacks from the snack plate on the table and handed them to him from time to time. Dim Sum, Yuanyuan has an innocent smile on her face.

When the two of them saw the three young men at the door, they were stunned for a moment, and then the chubby young man ran over in three or two steps, "Seventh Emperor Brother!"

Wei Xi, who followed closely, frowned and pulled Zhi Mo back, "Master! This is outside the palace, don't you remember what I told you before, you can't mention the previous titles outside the palace?"

Zhimo couldn't hide his joy on his pale little face, he took Zhifei's hand and led him to sit at the table, pushing trays of snacks in front of Zhifei, "Seven...seventh brother , I thought I would never see you again..."

Zhi Fei shook Zhi Mo's hand reassuringly, "It's as long as the fourth brother is fine."

Looking at Zhi Fei with big watery eyes, Zhimo pursed his lips, and said, "I, I have heard what Wei Xi said... Seventh Brother, are you all right?"

"Ah," Zhi Fei recalled what happened a while ago, but his memory is not accurate, "It's nothing, the injury is healed, the illness is also healed, I heard that the fourth brother also suffered a lot of injuries before leaving the dungeon, how about the fourth brother ?”

Speaking of this, Wei Xi clenched his fists in anger, "On the day His Highness the Seventh Prince fell, the Second Highness went to the dungeon to visit the Fourth Highness, and then told the cell boss that as long as he didn't die, it didn't matter what he did! I was so young, so cruel and merciless." ..."

Zhi Mo didn't agree with Wei Xi's words, he didn't remember very clearly what happened in the dungeon, he was whipped and had a fever when he was sent in, all his memories were intermittent, and he didn't remember that Zhi Qin had visited him Things, in Zhimo's heart, Zhiqin is still the second brother who is a little indifferent but willing to smile at him and give him pastries.

"Don't say that about Second Emperor Brother..." Zhi Mo frowned.

Wei Xi knew that Zhimo's heart was as pure as white paper, so he could only stop and not speak, the anger towards Zhiqin in his eyes still did not subside.

Zhimo wanted to say something more, but Mu Ao interrupted the topic first, "I heard that you are leaving tomorrow?"

Wei Xi smiled, "The imperial city is dangerous, it's better to leave as soon as possible. His Highness's injury is almost healed. Fortunately, the cell boss didn't hit hard. He was bribed by the empress to save His Highness."

I don't know what happened to Zhimo's mother and concubine, because she was once the daughter of an important minister and participated in the seizure of power, so she will probably be executed. "However, Your Highness doesn't have a deep relationship with his mother and concubine. Your empress cares more It's still the seat that everyone wants to sit in, and His Highness is just her bargaining chip."

Zhi Mo was drinking tea silently, half understanding what they said.

Zhi Fei looked at Mu Ao, "Can we send them off tomorrow?"

Mu Ao smiled apologetically, "This badge can only be taken out of the palace for one day at a time, if you don't go back within the specified time, you will be discovered."

I had no choice but to let it go, but fortunately Wei Xi and Zhi Mo didn't care, "It's good to see you before I leave."

As noon approached, there were more people eating in the inn. Mu Ao simply ordered a few small dishes, while Wen Han and Wei Xi were talking, and Zhi Mo would occasionally eat a few more cakes, but Wei Xi would stop him and say that he was about to eat It's lunch time, so we can't eat more pastries. Seeing Zhi Mo's aggrieved face, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoer served some light home-cooked dishes. When Mu Ao ordered dishes, he ordered according to Zhifei's taste. Wei Xi also said that light food is good for people who are recovering from injuries, and Zhimo is not picky about food He was also happy to see everyone eating with gusto.

After eating and drinking enough, several people proposed to go out for a stroll.

Zhimo excitedly asked Zhifei where he had been these days, where was there a sugar maker, where the most famous lotus leaf cake was sold, where there was a lantern maker, and where was the busiest place. Pointing left and right on the road, wanting to go east for a while, wanting to go west for a while, scratching his head, and finally looked at the three people behind him.

Wei Xi smiled helplessly and knowingly, "The young master has said so many places, let's come one by one."

Then I took them to the busiest bazaar, crowded with people, really busy, with a lot of business, there are many small vendors of folk traditional crafts, every time Zhi Fei walked over curiously, he would see the simple smiles of the vendors and their hospitality He introduced the characteristics of the things he sold and how well-made the products were, and his eyes were flickering and flickering, a little understanding and a little unclear. It's cloudy.

However, they all seemed to be good people, although they were a little exaggerated, and their shouting voices were loud. After a while, Zhi Fei gradually got used to their unique way of selling, and smiled knowingly.

The first time I saw the real face in the ancient city, it was different from the time when I welcomed the return of the emperor, it was not the same at all.

That is a living life, blooming brilliantly in their respective lives.
