The daily life of the eldest son
Chapter 39
After pestering for more than an hour early in the morning, Ye Yicai finally coaxed the reluctant Tang Xiao out, only then did he feel that the taciturn Tang Xiao was unexpectedly difficult to deal with.
There was only one person left in the room, but Ye Yi couldn't calm down to read or write as usual. Although there was nothing to worry about, there was always some small turmoil in his heart that couldn't be calmed down.
Putting on a coat and sitting lazily by the window, Ye Yi's thoughts drifted uncontrollably.
Recalling the past, Ye Yi suddenly felt a little regretful.
Tang Yun's arm was broken for no reason. It was all four years ago. According to Tang Yun, Tang Xiao started to like him before that. Although it was incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not true. There was no trace to be found, and he just casually attributed those actions to his younger brother's attachment to his elder brother. It was a waste of all Tang Xiao's thoughts on him, and a waste of so many opportunities to tease Tang Xiao. Sorry.
But the future is long, and he has a lot of opportunities to make up for what he missed before.
Just as he was thinking, the window in front of him was suddenly closed forcefully, which startled Ye Yi. Just as he was thinking about who was being so rude, he saw Tang Xiao walk in from the gate with a dark face.
"You closed the window?"
"It's me." Tang Xiao still had a gloomy face, walked up to Ye Yi and stared at Ye Yi angrily.
"What, what's the matter?" Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi with confusion.
She was fine when she went out, why did she come back with a dark face?Does this anger still seem to be directed at him?He stayed in the room all morning, but he didn't do anything.
Ye Yi blinked and looked at Tang Xiao blankly.
Tang Xiao suddenly scratched his head in annoyance, as if he was extremely frustrated, he bent down and picked up Ye Yi horizontally, then turned around and took Ye Yi away from the window.
"I really want to hide it from people to see..."
Brother Yi doesn't know how to be more on guard, doesn't he know how seductive his lonely expression of anxiously waiting for someone to come back is?Although Brother Yi has nothing to do and should be idle, but what do you want to sit by the window with a lazy and attractive expression like that?
Originally Ye Yi showed such an unprecedented expression because of Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao should be happy, but when he thought that it was the first time he saw this expression, but someone had seen it before him, Tang Xiao felt angry .
"What? What did you say?" Ye Yi hooked Tang Xiao's neck without hearing what Tang Xiao said, and looked at Tang Xiao puzzled.
"It's nothing." Seeing Ye Yi's face turn red, Tang Xiao sat Ye Yi on the stool, and sat down opposite Ye Yi himself, "Is anyone here this morning?"
Ye Yi shook his head and said, "No. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." He just asked, if someone with bad intentions came close to Brother Yi, he would have to be prepared early, such as that Chen Siming, Chen Siming, Chen Siming...
Taking a sip of tea to relieve his nervousness, Tang Xiao calmed down and said again: "Yun has already interrogated yesterday's assassin, and the assassin insisted that he is the third prince's man. Just in case, His Majesty ordered me and Yun Guard the third prince and the fourth prince respectively."
Hearing this, Ye Yi frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "How many other Highnesses will your Majesty bring with you?"
After dealing with the matter in Yanzhou, this trip to the East is only half completed, and the next return journey will also stop at one city after another. In addition to dealing with the government, he will also go to the fields to inspect agriculture to show the emperor's respect for the people and agriculture. Pay attention to.Although it is troublesome, once the east tour starts, it must not end in a hurry, otherwise it will lead to speculation and cause troubles.
But Ye Yi hoped that the emperor could send at least a few princes back to the capital. Compared with the outside where dragons and snakes are mixed and easy to grow, Chang'an City is a place they are all very familiar with, and it is easier to take precautions.But if the emperor insisted on bringing all the princes with him, it would only be his courtiers who worked hard.
"Well," Tang Xiao nodded, "Looking at what His Majesty means, it seems that he doesn't intend to let anyone go back to Beijing first."
Ye Yi rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Even if the mastermind behind this assassination is His Highness Third or Highness Fourth, the two Highnesses will not be so stupid as to contact the killer in person. His Majesty's hunting location yesterday was decided on the spur of the moment." , His Majesty the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness are following His Majesty, so..."
"So all the people who accompanied you yesterday are suspected?" Tang Xiao's face darkened again.
If that's the case, there will be big troubles.In addition to a dozen officials, there were also people from Habayashi Guard and Taichang Temple who accompanied them to Mount Tai yesterday. There were three to 400 people. When the enemy and the enemy were unknown, they could not interrogate them one by one. They could only observe in secret. The probability of catching the suspect is also too small.In other words, no matter how defensive they are, it will be of no avail.
Ye Yi nodded: "Besides, yesterday's assassination failed. They may not make a comeback. It seems almost impossible to catch people before returning to Beijing."
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and said, "I'll go to Yun and Uncle to discuss it."
"Well, let's go." After hesitating for a while, Ye Yi said again, "If you see Chen Siming on the road, tell him to come and find me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao stopped walking, turned around and stared at Ye Yi and asked, "What does Brother Yi want him for?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiao would ask such a question, Ye Yi looked at Tang Xiao suspiciously, and said, "Naturally I want to ask him something, what's the matter?"
Tang Xiao pursed his lips, stared at Ye Yi and said, "Brother Yi, what do you want to ask? I'll help you."
"Ask for me?" Ye Yi chuckled, "Aren't you looking for Ah Yun?"
Tang Xiao pursed his lips again.
"I hate Chen Siming so much?" But why?Ye Yi couldn't figure it out.
Chen Siming didn't have much contact with Ah Xiao, at most they could be regarded as nodding acquaintances. If he hadn't been in the middle, the two wouldn't have had any friendship. The relationship is so thin, why does Ah Xiao hate Chen Siming so much? ?
Tang Xiao nodded immediately and said, "Well, I hate him."
That fellow Chen Siming would come to Brother Yi's side whenever he had something to do, and he would make a fuss, he must have ulterior motives.
After hearing Tang Xiao's answer, the corners of Ye Yi's mouth twitched, and he smiled softly: "You have to call him if you don't like it. I want to see him, not you."
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Yi said this, Tang Xiao became even more depressed, and looked at Ye Yi quite aggrievedly, and Ye Yi said it just to see this expression, and now he only replied Tang Xiao with a more brilliant smile.
Tang Xiao was annoyed, turned around and strode away.
Looking at Tang Xiao's sullen back, Ye Yi said deliberately: "We've been friends for more than ten years, and I won't fall in love with him just because I look at him more, why are you nervous."
Tang Xiao, who was going down the stairs, tilted his feet, stepped out of the three steps with an unstable center of gravity, turned his head to look at Ye Yi with a blushing face, and ran away in a hurry.
Ye Yi in the room staggered from side to side with a smile.
Ye Yi was still smiling until Chen Siming entered the door, and when he saw Chen Siming, Ye Yi laughed even harder.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yi was rarely seen laughing, Chen Siming was confused, "Are you teasing Tang Xiao again?"
Ye Yi stopped laughing, wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and asked Chen Siming, "How can you get it right?"
Chen Siming sat down in front of Ye Yi, and replied: "You're laughing like this, most likely you just teased someone, and when I met Tang Xiao just now, he looked distraught, and looked at me more fiercely than usual."
Looking at Ye Yi from head to toe again, Chen Siming asked, "What's the matter? Are you cured of your heart disease these days?"
Ye Yi was taken aback, and finally returned to his usual gentle appearance, and said with a smile, "It wasn't a heart attack in the first place."
Chen Siming stared at Ye Yi again, and said, "Did Tang Xiao express his feelings to you? Are we finally together?"
Ye Yi lowered his head to look at himself, and asked, "What? Is there any change in my body? How can I know it just by looking at it?"
"That's natural." Hearing Ye Yi say this, Chen Siming immediately smiled complacently. "I'm one of the few close friends of yours. I've known you for so many years. If you can't even see this, it's useless He has a pair of eyes. Alas, that kid Tang Xiao finally got his wish. Eh? Since he got his wish, why are you staring at me?"
"Of course I stared at you because I hate you." Thinking of Tang Xiao just now, Ye Yi couldn't help laughing again.
Seeing Ye Yi's appearance, Chen Siming was amazed: "Happy with one word, and worried with one word, you have finally tasted this kind of feeling."
"I called you here because I have something important to tell you," Ye Yi said solemnly, interrupting Chen Siming's sadness, "The trial of the crown prince's assassination has ended, and the assassin claimed that he was ordered by His Highness, and I want to get rid of you." Find out who behaved strangely after the Zen Conferring Ceremony yesterday."
"Ah? Do you want me to go?" Chen Siming looked at Ye Yi puzzled, "Although you, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are injured and can't move around, it's not my turn to investigate the case, right? I won't ah."
Ye Yi smiled and said: "I don't want you to investigate the case, but to inquire about the news. The one who walked the most in the camp yesterday was Yubayashi Wei. The one who knows the most about the situation in the palace these days should be the maidservant in the palace. Adults, maidservants who have a 'close relationship' may know more. Leaving Habayashi Mamoru aside, dealing with women is what you are best at."
Hearing this, Chen Siming rubbed his chin and said with an evil smile, "If that's the case, then I can give it a try."
Ye Yi gave Chen Siming a white look, and said: "Then go quickly, Your Majesty will not delay the trip because of this matter, but if you leave this palace, it will be even more difficult to investigate."
"I know," Chen Siming nodded and got up immediately, "I'll go right away. Speaking of which, it's okay for you to be here alone, right?"
"What's the problem?" Ye Yi smiled, "No tendons, no bones, the wound is just a little sore."
"Then be careful, I'll close the door for you, don't open the door casually." Chen Siming instructed worriedly.
"Let's go, I'm not a three-year-old child." What kind of door was opened for someone, he was planning to go out for a walk.
After repeatedly asking Ye Yi to be careful, Chen Siming left and started to do what Ye Yi told him.Seeing that Chen Siming had disappeared, Ye Yi dressed neatly and went out for a walk.
According to the usual practice, the emperor will go on tour four times a year, namely east tour, south tour, west tour and north tour. Inspection, if there is a national crisis, this inspection will naturally be saved.For today's Holy Majesty, the annual east and north tours are necessary, while the west and south tours depend on the situation. The route of the north tour is uncertain, but the route of the east tour has never changed. Every year, he comes to Mount Tai. , living in Yanzhou.
Therefore, the palace built in Yanzhou is the most exquisite and exquisite. After several revisions in the initial prototype, it is no different from a maze. Even the officials who participate in the east tour every year, there is no maid in this palace to guide the way. It is also to get lost.Ye Yi was walking alone in such a maze at this time.
Stepping out of the small courtyard where he lived, turning left, turning right, passing through a small garden, turning left, turning right, passing through a small garden, Ye Yi managed to get lost...
The wound on his leg was a little painful, so Ye Yi sat casually on the porch, resting his chin and admiring the view of the garden.
"The spring is pleasant, and the young master can enjoy it all by himself. It's a bit lonely."
A strange voice came from behind, startled Ye Yi to jump up, and took a step forward, but the wound on his leg hurt, his leg weakened and his body was on the verge of falling.
"Ouch!" The man behind stepped forward and picked up Ye Yi, "Master, be careful."
Leveraging this man's strength to stabilize his center of gravity, Ye Yi endured the pain and turned around, looking at the visitor with a slightly cold smile.
"Your Excellency doesn't look like someone who should be walking leisurely here, trespassing, do you know where this is?"
"What a surprise," the man looked at Ye Yi in surprise, "I thought he was a good-tempered young man, so I dared to talk to him, it seems that I was mistaken."
"Who the hell are you?"
Ye Yi secretly scolded himself for being slack lately, because he was preoccupied with Tang Xiao's affairs, so he ignored the things he usually paid attention to all the time. Walking around when he was injured would be dangerous. It's not safe, and I left the dagger and soft sword in the room...
The man standing opposite Ye Yi was stunned for a while, looked around, and then he felt that something was wrong and asked Ye Yi: "Here...is it really a great place?"
Ye Yi stared at the man, and asked in a cold voice: "You don't know where this is and dare to barge in?"
The man scratched his head and said innocently: "It is because I didn't know that I came in. If I had known it would be troublesome, I wouldn't have entered...Young master, can't you let me go?"
"What do you think?" There are local soldiers from Yanzhou guarding the palace, how can ordinary people get in?Not only did this person come in, but even when he was begging for mercy, he was calm and relaxed, how could he let him go?
"Alas..." The man sighed, and said, "I saw that the young master looks handsome, and it hurts to sit here alone enjoying the scenery, so I went up to talk to him, and wanted to see if I could be lucky enough to make the young master smile... ... Sigh... If I had known that Young Master is such a cold-hearted and cruel person, I would definitely not feel sorry for Young Master."
After hearing these words, Ye Yi didn't react at all strangely, he still smiled calmly, thinking about how to catch this intruder who seemed to have good skills even though his leg was injured.
"Do you know what your name is?" Ye Yi asked with a smile.
"What?" Seeing that his teasing words had no effect at all, the man felt that the handsome young man standing in front of him was really a difficult person to deal with, "Is it possible to steal chickens and lose money?"
Ye Yi shook his head and said, "You're doing it on your own."
The man was startled, then laughed loudly, nodded repeatedly and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense!"
Ye Yi frowned slightly.This man was too leisurely, could it be that he just broke in unintentionally?
"Who is there?!"
Another voice suddenly came from the side, accompanied by the chaotic sound of guards running.
"Oops!" The man's face changed, and he ran in a certain direction, "Young master, see you again!"
The man disappeared like a gust of wind, and by the time the guards came around the garden arch, he had long since disappeared.
"Run over there." Ye Yi pointed the direction to the guards without hesitation, and then looked at the prince who was coming behind the guards, "Your Highness."
"Ayi?" Somewhat surprised to see Ye Yi here, the prince hurried to Ye Yi's side, first looked at the wound on Ye Yi's thigh, "What's going on? Why are you here? Are the wounds okay? ?”
Ye Yi replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The injury on your leg is not that serious. Your Highness does not need to worry. I planned to walk around, but I didn't want to get lost due to the complicated structure of the palace. Just now I met a person who sneaked into the palace. pity……"
The prince supported Ye Yi, and said softly: "I don't blame you, you are still injured. I will send you back to your room... If anyone asks later, I will say that you are with me at this time."
Ye Yi was stunned, stared at the prince in surprise and said, "Could it be that the person just now has something to do with yesterday's incident?"
The prince looked at Ye Yi, smiled and said: "I can't be sure, I'm just in case, don't worry. Although I was not injured in yesterday's incident, the only one who was caught alive is the third emperor's younger brother." Instigated, father was furious, from yesterday to today, people in the palace are in panic. At this time, one thing more is worse than one thing less, I believe you, you will do what I say."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Being trusted without any basis, Ye Yi felt a lot of pressure.
"Why do you and this palace need to thank you?" The crown prince laughed lowly, "By the way, my father appointed brothers Tang Yun and Tang Xiao to follow the third and fourth younger brothers, so that there will be no one to protect you , I will send someone there for you later."
Ye Yi's heart trembled, he hurriedly took a step back, and after exiting the prince's embrace, he bowed and said, "Your Highness loves me so much, I dare not take it seriously. I can still do such a small thing as protecting myself."
The prince pulled Ye Yi back to support him, and said: "If you can, you won't let that man run away."
Ye Yi was speechless.
Being supported by the prince, Ye Yi anxiously followed the prince's footsteps. He lowered his head along the way, and he didn't care to see which way they were going or where they were going. He only heard that they had come from a secluded place. A lively place, and then went to another quiet place.
But Ye Yi felt that the courtyard where he lived was not so quiet.
Just as he was thinking, Ye Yi heard Tang Xiao's voice.
"Brother Yi!"
Ye Yi immediately stopped and looked around, and saw Tang Xiao running quickly, holding something in his arms.
"Your Highness," saluted the prince hastily, Tang Xiao glared at Ye Yi and said angrily, "Didn't you want Brother Yi to rest in the room? Why are you running around?"
"You can't be bored in the room all the time." Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Tang Xiao's forehead, Ye Yi raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat off Tang Xiao's forehead with his sleeve, "Looking for me everywhere?"
"You're not in the room, can I not look for it?" Tang Xiao stared at Ye Yi dissatisfiedly, and then stuffed the black ball into Ye Yi's arms, "It just so happened that Habayashi Wei and the others caught a small dog yesterday. The leopard, originally wanted to be raised by the people of Habayashi Guard in turn, and when they returned to Chang'an, they would be confined to the camp, but His Majesty divided the tasks, and they didn't have time to take care of this little thing. I knew that Brother Yi was alone. It was boring in the room, so I brought it back."
"Is it a leopard?" Ye Yi only felt that the little thing in his arms was fluffy and soft, and it was still moving, and he couldn't even hold it in his arms. It seemed that a little force could strangle the little thing to death. And for a long time, I haven't seen where the little thing's face is.
Seeing that Ye Yi was in a hurry, Tang Xiao reached out and pinched the back of the little leopard's neck, picked up the small ball, and the ball stretched into a strand.
But Ye Yi finally saw the appearance of this little leopard clearly.
The little leopard was yelling in a childlike voice, and it seemed that it was trying to intimidate someone, but because it was too young, the intimidation didn't even have the effect of a demonstration.
"It looks cute." Ye Yi stretched out his hand and scratched the little leopard's chin. Although he encountered resistance, the weak resistance was completely negligible. "But how to raise the leopard? What should I feed it?"
Tang Xiao said uncertainly: "The people of Habayashi Guard said that they would feed them some raw meat for the time being. When they return to Chang'an, they can ask those leopard trainers."
Although leopards are beasts in the mountains, they are also kept as pets by some wealthy people. Compared with other places, there are more people raising leopards in Chang'an City and Jiangnan, so there are more leopard trainers in these towns live.
"Really?" The more Ye Yi saw the little leopard, the more cute he felt, so he took it from Tang Xiao's hand and hugged it, "Then did you give it a name?"
"...No, Brother Yi, let's get one." Habayashi Wei named the little leopard Xiao Hei, and Tang Xiao really didn't even have the interest to despise them for being uneducated.
"En..." Ye Yi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good name, "Let's think about it when I go back."
"Well, don't worry."
Tang Xiao glanced at the prince beside him, and saw the prince standing side by side with Ye Yi, looking at the little leopard in Ye Yi's arms from the side. The posture of the two is so intimate, if the one in Ye Yi's arms is replaced by a child, We can make a family of three.
Tang Xiao felt upset, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Yi to his side, and said "respectfully" to the prince: "Please send Brother Yi back, Your Highness, I will be next."
The prince also looked up at Tang Xiao, and said, "Didn't the father want you to protect the fourth brother?"
Tang Xiao said calmly, "We have arranged for people to take turns protecting us." Before it was his turn, of course he wanted to go back to Brother Yi to have a look.
The prince narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Someone may have sneaked into the palace these few days, so don't be careless."
Tang Xiao nodded, and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I should be fully motivated to protect His Highness Fourth Highness well." But it's not that he is on duty, or he doesn't need to watch over His Highness Fourth Highness.
"...That's fine." The prince turned to look at Ye Yi, and said, "I still have something to discuss with my father, so I won't send you off."
Ye Yi bowed to the prince, really didn't know what to say.The prince was too kind to him, which troubled him very much.
If the prince is not the prince, they may become friends who can care for each other, but the prince is a prince after all, so they can only be monarchs and ministers.They are not the young, crazy and ignorant children. Some things are in the middle, and they are destined not to be friends.
I wanted to raise my hand to touch Ye Yi's face, but under Tang Xiao's stare, the prince finally only patted Ye Yi on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Looking at the prince's back, Tang Xiao snorted coldly, took Ye Yi's hand and walked towards their residence.
Unaware of the strange atmosphere between Tang Xiao and the prince, Ye Yi at this moment was only concerned with playing with the little leopard in his arms.
Pulling Ye Yi back to the residence, Tang Xiao wanted to complain and asked Ye Yi to stay away from the prince, but when he turned his head, he saw Ye Yi playing with the little leopard happily, with a child-like smile on his face, Tang Xiao Immediately there were no complaints.
How many years have you not seen Brother Yi's innocent smile?
Tang Xiao scratched his head and said to Ye Yi, "Brother Yi, do you want to give it a bath?"
Ye Yi then looked up at Tang Xiao: "Are you taking a bath? Is it a leopard?"
"But it's only this big, and there's no way to throw it into the forest and ask it to find a source of water to wash it off. Since it will be kept in the house later, it's better to wash it well."
Ye Yi's eyes lit up, and he praised Tang Xiao, "It's rare that you're so smart."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yi asked the maids in the yard to prepare hot water and basins.
Tang Xiao, who was praised, was in a very delicate mood.
How stupid is he in Brother Yi's heart?
When hot water and a basin came, Ye Yi moved a bench and sat in the yard to bathe the little leopard. Tang Xiao sat aside and watched, and the officials who came and went in the yard also looked over curiously, following Ye Yi Yi and Tang Xiao are familiar with each other, and they will even come closer to have a few jokes.
Seeing Ye Yi's proficient washing, Tang Xiao asked curiously, "Brother Yi doesn't look like he's bathing an animal for the first time."
Hearing this sentence, Ye Yi turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, smiled inexplicably, and said, "Who do you think washed you and Ah Yun when you were young?"
Tang Xiao was startled, and asked stupidly, "Isn't it my mother?"
Ye Yi shook his head, then pointed to himself with a smile, and recalled: "The first few times it was the nanny who was with me, and then the nanny just sat aside and laughed for some reason. You two take a bath, every time it’s time for you to take a bath, your nanny will come to my house and call me, I heard that it was my aunt’s order.”
Later, Ye Yi actually asked the reason. Tang Xiao's mother said that the two brothers had been very naughty since they were young, but for some reason, as long as Ye Yi was around, the two brothers would be extraordinarily well-behaved. Be good, and call Ye Yi every time.
"Really?" Tang Xiao didn't have any impression of that childhood memory of needing help from others to take a bath, "But it's not fair!"
"Why isn't it fair?" Ye Yi looked at Tang Xiao curiously.
He still thinks it's unfair, and it's not his son, but he pulled the shit out of him, is that plausible?That aunt of the Tang family really knows how to manipulate people.
What Ye Yi couldn't figure out the most was how could his own mother be happy to see him taking care of other people's children?
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi unwillingly and said, "I have been seen by Brother Yi, but I haven't seen Brother Yi yet."
After saying this, Ye Yi didn't respond yet, but Tang Xiao blushed first.
"Why haven't you seen it?" Ye Yi teased and said, "When I was young, I always washed them together."
He washed the two little ones, and washed himself by the way.
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi in astonishment, and exclaimed, "I don't remember!"
Ye Yi smiled slightly and said, "Don't you remember blaming me?"
Tang Xiao suddenly became annoyed.
How could he have forgotten this?How could he forget this?Brother Yi's body when he was a child... that will never be seen again!
Seeing Tang Xiao's regretful expression, Ye Yi thought it was funny.If the two of them want to take a bath together, there are still many opportunities, right?
With a chuckle, Ye Yi wrapped the washed little leopard in a dry cloth towel, got up and sent it to Tang Xiao's arms.
"Wipe clean."
Tang Xiao caught it subconsciously, thinking that the work of wiping hair should be quite simple, so he opened the cloth towel.
The little leopard had been struggling to stand on Tang Xiao's lap for a long time. When the cloth towel was opened, the dripping little leopard shook vigorously, shaking Tang Xiao's face with water.
Tang Xiao was startled, then the corner of his mouth twitched, he pressed the little leopard with a cloth towel and rubbed it violently.
The little leopard howled from being trampled on, while Ye Yi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.
After laughing enough, Ye Yi asked the maid again for another cloth towel, and squatted beside Tang Xiao to wipe off the water on Tang Xiao's face.
Tang Xiao immediately lost his anger, and the movement of wiping the little leopard became gentle.
But the water on his face was wiped dry, but there was nothing he could do about the water stains on Tang Xiao's skirt.
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Forget it, give this little guy to me, you go back to your room and change your clothes."
"It's okay," Tang Xiao said indifferently, "I'll do it in a while."
However, Ye Yi directly reached out to pick up the little leopard, and said, "Go ahead, don't be careless during the period before returning to Beijing, don't catch a cold and make you sick."
"Okay." As long as Ye Yi persisted, Tang Xiao would always obey what Ye Yi said.
"Naughty." After poking the little leopard on the forehead, Ye Yi put the little leopard on his lap so that the wind would dry the damp hair, and only blocked it with his hands to prevent the little leopard from escaping to other places. , "What should I call you?"
When Tang Xiao changed his clothes and went out again, what he saw was Ye Yi sitting lazily on the porch in front of the door, looking down at the little guy in his arms, the smile on his face seemed unstoppable, and the one in his arms The little leopard actually didn't run away, but kept running towards him, or scratched Ye Yi's chest with its two front paws, and it didn't know what it was going to do.
Bewitched by Ye Yi's gentle smile, Tang Xiao walked quickly to Ye Yi's side, squatted down, and kissed Ye Yi's cheek with his head. After the kiss, he realized his abrupt behavior, and couldn't help but blushed again. Face.
Ye Yi was startled, and shot Tang Xiao a look: "I'm not afraid of being seen."
Tang Xiao curled his lips, sat down beside Ye Yi, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not afraid when I see it."
It would be better to say that Tang Xiao wished to be seen by others, and it would be best to spread the word to Chang'an, so that others would know that Ye Yi already had a master, so as to save some people with evil intentions from always not giving up.
Ye Yi chuckled and said nothing.
Tang Xiao pouted, leaned slightly, leaned on Ye Yi's body lightly, poked the little leopard's head, and said, "Sure enough, it was right to bring this little guy here."
"Thank you for bringing it here." Ye Yi hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time, just doing simple things and thinking about nothing.
"As long as Brother Yi likes it."
When Chen Siming came, he saw the scene of Ye Yi and Tang Xiao loving each other, and looked around to make sure there was no one else in the yard, so Chen Siming was relieved.
"Yo Yo Yo, where are these newlyweds from? This honey is sweetened, look at my goosebumps."
The first sweet time alone after being connected was ruined by Chen Siming. Tang Xiao raised his head and glared at Chen Siming viciously.
Ye Yi turned his head and glanced at Chen Siming, then supported Tang Xiao's shoulders to stand up, and pulled Tang Xiao up with his backhand.
"Go inside and talk."
Chen Siming was the last to enter the door, and after closing the doors and windows, Tang Xiao moved to Ye Yi's side again.
Chen Siming twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help joking: "I thought that even if the two of you were together, there would be no change. After all, Tang Xiao has been clinging to Ayi since he was a child, but looking at it this way, it really is a little different." .”
Ye Yi's eyebrows twitched, he put the little leopard on the ground and ran casually, and asked as if he didn't care, "What's the difference?"
Tang Xiao also stared at Chen Siming, warning Chen Siming not to talk nonsense with his eyes.
Chen Siming hesitated for a while between the non-existent danger of his life and whether his friend's love life would be bumpy, and then said: "If you want to say the biggest difference, it should be the way Tang Xiao looked at you. Earlier, in order to prevent you from finding out, He will deliberately press down, if you don't even notice it, then others will not be able to see it, but now..."
Hearing this, Ye Yi turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, who immediately put on a straight face.
Ye Yi was amused by Tang Xiao, and said: "You're right, even if no one thinks about it for the time being, after a long time, someone will notice."
"So what?" Tang Xiao retorted dissatisfiedly, "If someone finds out, they will find out, anyway, it's the truth!"
Chen Siming didn't speak, but turned to look at Ye Yi.
Tang Xiao's calmness and integrity have always been appreciated by Chen Siming, firstly because he himself cannot achieve such calmness, and secondly because this kind of Tang Xiao is suitable for the suspicious Ye Yi's side.But sometimes, not being calm can make things easier.
After pondering for a while, Ye Yi looked up at Tang Xiao, and said with a smile: "Now is the time when His Majesty is employing people, A Xiao should do his best to fulfill His Majesty's instructions, and pay more attention to protecting the safety of the Fourth Highness."
Tang Xiao frowned, and asked displeasedly: "Brother Yi, do you want me to see you?"
Ye Yi nodded: "Yes, don't be too clingy to me for now."
"I do not……"
"I'll just go see you."
With just one sentence, Ye Yi blocked back all Tang Xiao's dissatisfaction.
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi sullenly, and asked with distrust: "Brother Yi, will you really go to see me with His Highness Fourth?"
"Why? Is what I said so unreliable?" Ye Yi said deliberately.
Tang Xiao hurriedly shook his head.
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Then stay with His Royal Highness and wait for me to find you."
"Go once a day... no, three times a day!" Afraid that he would wait until he didn't know how long he would wait, Tang Xiao immediately set the rules.
Ye Yi shook his head and laughed, helplessly said: "How can I go three times a day? Once a day, I promise."
Can't it be three times?Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi pitifully.
Ye Yi turned his head, ignored Tang Xiao, and asked Chen Siming, "Is there any result to what you asked to inquire about?"
Chen Siming nodded, then shook his head: "Yes, and no."
"What do you mean?" Ye Yi was puzzled.
Chen Siming sat down on the stool, and said: "The accompanying people are all arranged to live in different courtyards. I went to each courtyard to inquire, but no one found any suspicious people. The accompanying officials are very quiet. , and even seldom leave the palace, and if they go out, they are always in small groups.
Only the local officials of Yanzhou go in and out of the palace every day. The women dedicated to His Majesty and the princes are all maidservants in this palace. They are all newly recruited after the east tour last year. Don't stay, everyone's background has been personally checked by Mr. Zhao. "
After listening to Chen Siming's words, Ye Yi turned to look at Tang Xiao, both of them looked serious.
After entering Dali Temple, he handled many cases, today is the first time Ye Yi felt that the case would end without a problem.
There was only one person left in the room, but Ye Yi couldn't calm down to read or write as usual. Although there was nothing to worry about, there was always some small turmoil in his heart that couldn't be calmed down.
Putting on a coat and sitting lazily by the window, Ye Yi's thoughts drifted uncontrollably.
Recalling the past, Ye Yi suddenly felt a little regretful.
Tang Yun's arm was broken for no reason. It was all four years ago. According to Tang Yun, Tang Xiao started to like him before that. Although it was incredible, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not true. There was no trace to be found, and he just casually attributed those actions to his younger brother's attachment to his elder brother. It was a waste of all Tang Xiao's thoughts on him, and a waste of so many opportunities to tease Tang Xiao. Sorry.
But the future is long, and he has a lot of opportunities to make up for what he missed before.
Just as he was thinking, the window in front of him was suddenly closed forcefully, which startled Ye Yi. Just as he was thinking about who was being so rude, he saw Tang Xiao walk in from the gate with a dark face.
"You closed the window?"
"It's me." Tang Xiao still had a gloomy face, walked up to Ye Yi and stared at Ye Yi angrily.
"What, what's the matter?" Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi with confusion.
She was fine when she went out, why did she come back with a dark face?Does this anger still seem to be directed at him?He stayed in the room all morning, but he didn't do anything.
Ye Yi blinked and looked at Tang Xiao blankly.
Tang Xiao suddenly scratched his head in annoyance, as if he was extremely frustrated, he bent down and picked up Ye Yi horizontally, then turned around and took Ye Yi away from the window.
"I really want to hide it from people to see..."
Brother Yi doesn't know how to be more on guard, doesn't he know how seductive his lonely expression of anxiously waiting for someone to come back is?Although Brother Yi has nothing to do and should be idle, but what do you want to sit by the window with a lazy and attractive expression like that?
Originally Ye Yi showed such an unprecedented expression because of Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao should be happy, but when he thought that it was the first time he saw this expression, but someone had seen it before him, Tang Xiao felt angry .
"What? What did you say?" Ye Yi hooked Tang Xiao's neck without hearing what Tang Xiao said, and looked at Tang Xiao puzzled.
"It's nothing." Seeing Ye Yi's face turn red, Tang Xiao sat Ye Yi on the stool, and sat down opposite Ye Yi himself, "Is anyone here this morning?"
Ye Yi shook his head and said, "No. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." He just asked, if someone with bad intentions came close to Brother Yi, he would have to be prepared early, such as that Chen Siming, Chen Siming, Chen Siming...
Taking a sip of tea to relieve his nervousness, Tang Xiao calmed down and said again: "Yun has already interrogated yesterday's assassin, and the assassin insisted that he is the third prince's man. Just in case, His Majesty ordered me and Yun Guard the third prince and the fourth prince respectively."
Hearing this, Ye Yi frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "How many other Highnesses will your Majesty bring with you?"
After dealing with the matter in Yanzhou, this trip to the East is only half completed, and the next return journey will also stop at one city after another. In addition to dealing with the government, he will also go to the fields to inspect agriculture to show the emperor's respect for the people and agriculture. Pay attention to.Although it is troublesome, once the east tour starts, it must not end in a hurry, otherwise it will lead to speculation and cause troubles.
But Ye Yi hoped that the emperor could send at least a few princes back to the capital. Compared with the outside where dragons and snakes are mixed and easy to grow, Chang'an City is a place they are all very familiar with, and it is easier to take precautions.But if the emperor insisted on bringing all the princes with him, it would only be his courtiers who worked hard.
"Well," Tang Xiao nodded, "Looking at what His Majesty means, it seems that he doesn't intend to let anyone go back to Beijing first."
Ye Yi rubbed his forehead and sighed: "Even if the mastermind behind this assassination is His Highness Third or Highness Fourth, the two Highnesses will not be so stupid as to contact the killer in person. His Majesty's hunting location yesterday was decided on the spur of the moment." , His Majesty the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness are following His Majesty, so..."
"So all the people who accompanied you yesterday are suspected?" Tang Xiao's face darkened again.
If that's the case, there will be big troubles.In addition to a dozen officials, there were also people from Habayashi Guard and Taichang Temple who accompanied them to Mount Tai yesterday. There were three to 400 people. When the enemy and the enemy were unknown, they could not interrogate them one by one. They could only observe in secret. The probability of catching the suspect is also too small.In other words, no matter how defensive they are, it will be of no avail.
Ye Yi nodded: "Besides, yesterday's assassination failed. They may not make a comeback. It seems almost impossible to catch people before returning to Beijing."
Tang Xiao pondered for a moment, then stood up suddenly, and said, "I'll go to Yun and Uncle to discuss it."
"Well, let's go." After hesitating for a while, Ye Yi said again, "If you see Chen Siming on the road, tell him to come and find me."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao stopped walking, turned around and stared at Ye Yi and asked, "What does Brother Yi want him for?"
Unexpectedly, Tang Xiao would ask such a question, Ye Yi looked at Tang Xiao suspiciously, and said, "Naturally I want to ask him something, what's the matter?"
Tang Xiao pursed his lips, stared at Ye Yi and said, "Brother Yi, what do you want to ask? I'll help you."
"Ask for me?" Ye Yi chuckled, "Aren't you looking for Ah Yun?"
Tang Xiao pursed his lips again.
"I hate Chen Siming so much?" But why?Ye Yi couldn't figure it out.
Chen Siming didn't have much contact with Ah Xiao, at most they could be regarded as nodding acquaintances. If he hadn't been in the middle, the two wouldn't have had any friendship. The relationship is so thin, why does Ah Xiao hate Chen Siming so much? ?
Tang Xiao nodded immediately and said, "Well, I hate him."
That fellow Chen Siming would come to Brother Yi's side whenever he had something to do, and he would make a fuss, he must have ulterior motives.
After hearing Tang Xiao's answer, the corners of Ye Yi's mouth twitched, and he smiled softly: "You have to call him if you don't like it. I want to see him, not you."
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Yi said this, Tang Xiao became even more depressed, and looked at Ye Yi quite aggrievedly, and Ye Yi said it just to see this expression, and now he only replied Tang Xiao with a more brilliant smile.
Tang Xiao was annoyed, turned around and strode away.
Looking at Tang Xiao's sullen back, Ye Yi said deliberately: "We've been friends for more than ten years, and I won't fall in love with him just because I look at him more, why are you nervous."
Tang Xiao, who was going down the stairs, tilted his feet, stepped out of the three steps with an unstable center of gravity, turned his head to look at Ye Yi with a blushing face, and ran away in a hurry.
Ye Yi in the room staggered from side to side with a smile.
Ye Yi was still smiling until Chen Siming entered the door, and when he saw Chen Siming, Ye Yi laughed even harder.
"What's wrong?" Ye Yi was rarely seen laughing, Chen Siming was confused, "Are you teasing Tang Xiao again?"
Ye Yi stopped laughing, wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and asked Chen Siming, "How can you get it right?"
Chen Siming sat down in front of Ye Yi, and replied: "You're laughing like this, most likely you just teased someone, and when I met Tang Xiao just now, he looked distraught, and looked at me more fiercely than usual."
Looking at Ye Yi from head to toe again, Chen Siming asked, "What's the matter? Are you cured of your heart disease these days?"
Ye Yi was taken aback, and finally returned to his usual gentle appearance, and said with a smile, "It wasn't a heart attack in the first place."
Chen Siming stared at Ye Yi again, and said, "Did Tang Xiao express his feelings to you? Are we finally together?"
Ye Yi lowered his head to look at himself, and asked, "What? Is there any change in my body? How can I know it just by looking at it?"
"That's natural." Hearing Ye Yi say this, Chen Siming immediately smiled complacently. "I'm one of the few close friends of yours. I've known you for so many years. If you can't even see this, it's useless He has a pair of eyes. Alas, that kid Tang Xiao finally got his wish. Eh? Since he got his wish, why are you staring at me?"
"Of course I stared at you because I hate you." Thinking of Tang Xiao just now, Ye Yi couldn't help laughing again.
Seeing Ye Yi's appearance, Chen Siming was amazed: "Happy with one word, and worried with one word, you have finally tasted this kind of feeling."
"I called you here because I have something important to tell you," Ye Yi said solemnly, interrupting Chen Siming's sadness, "The trial of the crown prince's assassination has ended, and the assassin claimed that he was ordered by His Highness, and I want to get rid of you." Find out who behaved strangely after the Zen Conferring Ceremony yesterday."
"Ah? Do you want me to go?" Chen Siming looked at Ye Yi puzzled, "Although you, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are injured and can't move around, it's not my turn to investigate the case, right? I won't ah."
Ye Yi smiled and said: "I don't want you to investigate the case, but to inquire about the news. The one who walked the most in the camp yesterday was Yubayashi Wei. The one who knows the most about the situation in the palace these days should be the maidservant in the palace. Adults, maidservants who have a 'close relationship' may know more. Leaving Habayashi Mamoru aside, dealing with women is what you are best at."
Hearing this, Chen Siming rubbed his chin and said with an evil smile, "If that's the case, then I can give it a try."
Ye Yi gave Chen Siming a white look, and said: "Then go quickly, Your Majesty will not delay the trip because of this matter, but if you leave this palace, it will be even more difficult to investigate."
"I know," Chen Siming nodded and got up immediately, "I'll go right away. Speaking of which, it's okay for you to be here alone, right?"
"What's the problem?" Ye Yi smiled, "No tendons, no bones, the wound is just a little sore."
"Then be careful, I'll close the door for you, don't open the door casually." Chen Siming instructed worriedly.
"Let's go, I'm not a three-year-old child." What kind of door was opened for someone, he was planning to go out for a walk.
After repeatedly asking Ye Yi to be careful, Chen Siming left and started to do what Ye Yi told him.Seeing that Chen Siming had disappeared, Ye Yi dressed neatly and went out for a walk.
According to the usual practice, the emperor will go on tour four times a year, namely east tour, south tour, west tour and north tour. Inspection, if there is a national crisis, this inspection will naturally be saved.For today's Holy Majesty, the annual east and north tours are necessary, while the west and south tours depend on the situation. The route of the north tour is uncertain, but the route of the east tour has never changed. Every year, he comes to Mount Tai. , living in Yanzhou.
Therefore, the palace built in Yanzhou is the most exquisite and exquisite. After several revisions in the initial prototype, it is no different from a maze. Even the officials who participate in the east tour every year, there is no maid in this palace to guide the way. It is also to get lost.Ye Yi was walking alone in such a maze at this time.
Stepping out of the small courtyard where he lived, turning left, turning right, passing through a small garden, turning left, turning right, passing through a small garden, Ye Yi managed to get lost...
The wound on his leg was a little painful, so Ye Yi sat casually on the porch, resting his chin and admiring the view of the garden.
"The spring is pleasant, and the young master can enjoy it all by himself. It's a bit lonely."
A strange voice came from behind, startled Ye Yi to jump up, and took a step forward, but the wound on his leg hurt, his leg weakened and his body was on the verge of falling.
"Ouch!" The man behind stepped forward and picked up Ye Yi, "Master, be careful."
Leveraging this man's strength to stabilize his center of gravity, Ye Yi endured the pain and turned around, looking at the visitor with a slightly cold smile.
"Your Excellency doesn't look like someone who should be walking leisurely here, trespassing, do you know where this is?"
"What a surprise," the man looked at Ye Yi in surprise, "I thought he was a good-tempered young man, so I dared to talk to him, it seems that I was mistaken."
"Who the hell are you?"
Ye Yi secretly scolded himself for being slack lately, because he was preoccupied with Tang Xiao's affairs, so he ignored the things he usually paid attention to all the time. Walking around when he was injured would be dangerous. It's not safe, and I left the dagger and soft sword in the room...
The man standing opposite Ye Yi was stunned for a while, looked around, and then he felt that something was wrong and asked Ye Yi: "Here...is it really a great place?"
Ye Yi stared at the man, and asked in a cold voice: "You don't know where this is and dare to barge in?"
The man scratched his head and said innocently: "It is because I didn't know that I came in. If I had known it would be troublesome, I wouldn't have entered...Young master, can't you let me go?"
"What do you think?" There are local soldiers from Yanzhou guarding the palace, how can ordinary people get in?Not only did this person come in, but even when he was begging for mercy, he was calm and relaxed, how could he let him go?
"Alas..." The man sighed, and said, "I saw that the young master looks handsome, and it hurts to sit here alone enjoying the scenery, so I went up to talk to him, and wanted to see if I could be lucky enough to make the young master smile... ... Sigh... If I had known that Young Master is such a cold-hearted and cruel person, I would definitely not feel sorry for Young Master."
After hearing these words, Ye Yi didn't react at all strangely, he still smiled calmly, thinking about how to catch this intruder who seemed to have good skills even though his leg was injured.
"Do you know what your name is?" Ye Yi asked with a smile.
"What?" Seeing that his teasing words had no effect at all, the man felt that the handsome young man standing in front of him was really a difficult person to deal with, "Is it possible to steal chickens and lose money?"
Ye Yi shook his head and said, "You're doing it on your own."
The man was startled, then laughed loudly, nodded repeatedly and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense!"
Ye Yi frowned slightly.This man was too leisurely, could it be that he just broke in unintentionally?
"Who is there?!"
Another voice suddenly came from the side, accompanied by the chaotic sound of guards running.
"Oops!" The man's face changed, and he ran in a certain direction, "Young master, see you again!"
The man disappeared like a gust of wind, and by the time the guards came around the garden arch, he had long since disappeared.
"Run over there." Ye Yi pointed the direction to the guards without hesitation, and then looked at the prince who was coming behind the guards, "Your Highness."
"Ayi?" Somewhat surprised to see Ye Yi here, the prince hurried to Ye Yi's side, first looked at the wound on Ye Yi's thigh, "What's going on? Why are you here? Are the wounds okay? ?”
Ye Yi replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. The injury on your leg is not that serious. Your Highness does not need to worry. I planned to walk around, but I didn't want to get lost due to the complicated structure of the palace. Just now I met a person who sneaked into the palace. pity……"
The prince supported Ye Yi, and said softly: "I don't blame you, you are still injured. I will send you back to your room... If anyone asks later, I will say that you are with me at this time."
Ye Yi was stunned, stared at the prince in surprise and said, "Could it be that the person just now has something to do with yesterday's incident?"
The prince looked at Ye Yi, smiled and said: "I can't be sure, I'm just in case, don't worry. Although I was not injured in yesterday's incident, the only one who was caught alive is the third emperor's younger brother." Instigated, father was furious, from yesterday to today, people in the palace are in panic. At this time, one thing more is worse than one thing less, I believe you, you will do what I say."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Being trusted without any basis, Ye Yi felt a lot of pressure.
"Why do you and this palace need to thank you?" The crown prince laughed lowly, "By the way, my father appointed brothers Tang Yun and Tang Xiao to follow the third and fourth younger brothers, so that there will be no one to protect you , I will send someone there for you later."
Ye Yi's heart trembled, he hurriedly took a step back, and after exiting the prince's embrace, he bowed and said, "Your Highness loves me so much, I dare not take it seriously. I can still do such a small thing as protecting myself."
The prince pulled Ye Yi back to support him, and said: "If you can, you won't let that man run away."
Ye Yi was speechless.
Being supported by the prince, Ye Yi anxiously followed the prince's footsteps. He lowered his head along the way, and he didn't care to see which way they were going or where they were going. He only heard that they had come from a secluded place. A lively place, and then went to another quiet place.
But Ye Yi felt that the courtyard where he lived was not so quiet.
Just as he was thinking, Ye Yi heard Tang Xiao's voice.
"Brother Yi!"
Ye Yi immediately stopped and looked around, and saw Tang Xiao running quickly, holding something in his arms.
"Your Highness," saluted the prince hastily, Tang Xiao glared at Ye Yi and said angrily, "Didn't you want Brother Yi to rest in the room? Why are you running around?"
"You can't be bored in the room all the time." Seeing the fine beads of sweat on Tang Xiao's forehead, Ye Yi raised his hand and gently wiped the sweat off Tang Xiao's forehead with his sleeve, "Looking for me everywhere?"
"You're not in the room, can I not look for it?" Tang Xiao stared at Ye Yi dissatisfiedly, and then stuffed the black ball into Ye Yi's arms, "It just so happened that Habayashi Wei and the others caught a small dog yesterday. The leopard, originally wanted to be raised by the people of Habayashi Guard in turn, and when they returned to Chang'an, they would be confined to the camp, but His Majesty divided the tasks, and they didn't have time to take care of this little thing. I knew that Brother Yi was alone. It was boring in the room, so I brought it back."
"Is it a leopard?" Ye Yi only felt that the little thing in his arms was fluffy and soft, and it was still moving, and he couldn't even hold it in his arms. It seemed that a little force could strangle the little thing to death. And for a long time, I haven't seen where the little thing's face is.
Seeing that Ye Yi was in a hurry, Tang Xiao reached out and pinched the back of the little leopard's neck, picked up the small ball, and the ball stretched into a strand.
But Ye Yi finally saw the appearance of this little leopard clearly.
The little leopard was yelling in a childlike voice, and it seemed that it was trying to intimidate someone, but because it was too young, the intimidation didn't even have the effect of a demonstration.
"It looks cute." Ye Yi stretched out his hand and scratched the little leopard's chin. Although he encountered resistance, the weak resistance was completely negligible. "But how to raise the leopard? What should I feed it?"
Tang Xiao said uncertainly: "The people of Habayashi Guard said that they would feed them some raw meat for the time being. When they return to Chang'an, they can ask those leopard trainers."
Although leopards are beasts in the mountains, they are also kept as pets by some wealthy people. Compared with other places, there are more people raising leopards in Chang'an City and Jiangnan, so there are more leopard trainers in these towns live.
"Really?" The more Ye Yi saw the little leopard, the more cute he felt, so he took it from Tang Xiao's hand and hugged it, "Then did you give it a name?"
"...No, Brother Yi, let's get one." Habayashi Wei named the little leopard Xiao Hei, and Tang Xiao really didn't even have the interest to despise them for being uneducated.
"En..." Ye Yi thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good name, "Let's think about it when I go back."
"Well, don't worry."
Tang Xiao glanced at the prince beside him, and saw the prince standing side by side with Ye Yi, looking at the little leopard in Ye Yi's arms from the side. The posture of the two is so intimate, if the one in Ye Yi's arms is replaced by a child, We can make a family of three.
Tang Xiao felt upset, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Ye Yi to his side, and said "respectfully" to the prince: "Please send Brother Yi back, Your Highness, I will be next."
The prince also looked up at Tang Xiao, and said, "Didn't the father want you to protect the fourth brother?"
Tang Xiao said calmly, "We have arranged for people to take turns protecting us." Before it was his turn, of course he wanted to go back to Brother Yi to have a look.
The prince narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Someone may have sneaked into the palace these few days, so don't be careless."
Tang Xiao nodded, and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I should be fully motivated to protect His Highness Fourth Highness well." But it's not that he is on duty, or he doesn't need to watch over His Highness Fourth Highness.
"...That's fine." The prince turned to look at Ye Yi, and said, "I still have something to discuss with my father, so I won't send you off."
Ye Yi bowed to the prince, really didn't know what to say.The prince was too kind to him, which troubled him very much.
If the prince is not the prince, they may become friends who can care for each other, but the prince is a prince after all, so they can only be monarchs and ministers.They are not the young, crazy and ignorant children. Some things are in the middle, and they are destined not to be friends.
I wanted to raise my hand to touch Ye Yi's face, but under Tang Xiao's stare, the prince finally only patted Ye Yi on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Looking at the prince's back, Tang Xiao snorted coldly, took Ye Yi's hand and walked towards their residence.
Unaware of the strange atmosphere between Tang Xiao and the prince, Ye Yi at this moment was only concerned with playing with the little leopard in his arms.
Pulling Ye Yi back to the residence, Tang Xiao wanted to complain and asked Ye Yi to stay away from the prince, but when he turned his head, he saw Ye Yi playing with the little leopard happily, with a child-like smile on his face, Tang Xiao Immediately there were no complaints.
How many years have you not seen Brother Yi's innocent smile?
Tang Xiao scratched his head and said to Ye Yi, "Brother Yi, do you want to give it a bath?"
Ye Yi then looked up at Tang Xiao: "Are you taking a bath? Is it a leopard?"
"But it's only this big, and there's no way to throw it into the forest and ask it to find a source of water to wash it off. Since it will be kept in the house later, it's better to wash it well."
Ye Yi's eyes lit up, and he praised Tang Xiao, "It's rare that you're so smart."
After finishing speaking, Ye Yi asked the maids in the yard to prepare hot water and basins.
Tang Xiao, who was praised, was in a very delicate mood.
How stupid is he in Brother Yi's heart?
When hot water and a basin came, Ye Yi moved a bench and sat in the yard to bathe the little leopard. Tang Xiao sat aside and watched, and the officials who came and went in the yard also looked over curiously, following Ye Yi Yi and Tang Xiao are familiar with each other, and they will even come closer to have a few jokes.
Seeing Ye Yi's proficient washing, Tang Xiao asked curiously, "Brother Yi doesn't look like he's bathing an animal for the first time."
Hearing this sentence, Ye Yi turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, smiled inexplicably, and said, "Who do you think washed you and Ah Yun when you were young?"
Tang Xiao was startled, and asked stupidly, "Isn't it my mother?"
Ye Yi shook his head, then pointed to himself with a smile, and recalled: "The first few times it was the nanny who was with me, and then the nanny just sat aside and laughed for some reason. You two take a bath, every time it’s time for you to take a bath, your nanny will come to my house and call me, I heard that it was my aunt’s order.”
Later, Ye Yi actually asked the reason. Tang Xiao's mother said that the two brothers had been very naughty since they were young, but for some reason, as long as Ye Yi was around, the two brothers would be extraordinarily well-behaved. Be good, and call Ye Yi every time.
"Really?" Tang Xiao didn't have any impression of that childhood memory of needing help from others to take a bath, "But it's not fair!"
"Why isn't it fair?" Ye Yi looked at Tang Xiao curiously.
He still thinks it's unfair, and it's not his son, but he pulled the shit out of him, is that plausible?That aunt of the Tang family really knows how to manipulate people.
What Ye Yi couldn't figure out the most was how could his own mother be happy to see him taking care of other people's children?
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi unwillingly and said, "I have been seen by Brother Yi, but I haven't seen Brother Yi yet."
After saying this, Ye Yi didn't respond yet, but Tang Xiao blushed first.
"Why haven't you seen it?" Ye Yi teased and said, "When I was young, I always washed them together."
He washed the two little ones, and washed himself by the way.
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi in astonishment, and exclaimed, "I don't remember!"
Ye Yi smiled slightly and said, "Don't you remember blaming me?"
Tang Xiao suddenly became annoyed.
How could he have forgotten this?How could he forget this?Brother Yi's body when he was a child... that will never be seen again!
Seeing Tang Xiao's regretful expression, Ye Yi thought it was funny.If the two of them want to take a bath together, there are still many opportunities, right?
With a chuckle, Ye Yi wrapped the washed little leopard in a dry cloth towel, got up and sent it to Tang Xiao's arms.
"Wipe clean."
Tang Xiao caught it subconsciously, thinking that the work of wiping hair should be quite simple, so he opened the cloth towel.
The little leopard had been struggling to stand on Tang Xiao's lap for a long time. When the cloth towel was opened, the dripping little leopard shook vigorously, shaking Tang Xiao's face with water.
Tang Xiao was startled, then the corner of his mouth twitched, he pressed the little leopard with a cloth towel and rubbed it violently.
The little leopard howled from being trampled on, while Ye Yi laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.
After laughing enough, Ye Yi asked the maid again for another cloth towel, and squatted beside Tang Xiao to wipe off the water on Tang Xiao's face.
Tang Xiao immediately lost his anger, and the movement of wiping the little leopard became gentle.
But the water on his face was wiped dry, but there was nothing he could do about the water stains on Tang Xiao's skirt.
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Forget it, give this little guy to me, you go back to your room and change your clothes."
"It's okay," Tang Xiao said indifferently, "I'll do it in a while."
However, Ye Yi directly reached out to pick up the little leopard, and said, "Go ahead, don't be careless during the period before returning to Beijing, don't catch a cold and make you sick."
"Okay." As long as Ye Yi persisted, Tang Xiao would always obey what Ye Yi said.
"Naughty." After poking the little leopard on the forehead, Ye Yi put the little leopard on his lap so that the wind would dry the damp hair, and only blocked it with his hands to prevent the little leopard from escaping to other places. , "What should I call you?"
When Tang Xiao changed his clothes and went out again, what he saw was Ye Yi sitting lazily on the porch in front of the door, looking down at the little guy in his arms, the smile on his face seemed unstoppable, and the one in his arms The little leopard actually didn't run away, but kept running towards him, or scratched Ye Yi's chest with its two front paws, and it didn't know what it was going to do.
Bewitched by Ye Yi's gentle smile, Tang Xiao walked quickly to Ye Yi's side, squatted down, and kissed Ye Yi's cheek with his head. After the kiss, he realized his abrupt behavior, and couldn't help but blushed again. Face.
Ye Yi was startled, and shot Tang Xiao a look: "I'm not afraid of being seen."
Tang Xiao curled his lips, sat down beside Ye Yi, and muttered in a low voice, "I'm not afraid when I see it."
It would be better to say that Tang Xiao wished to be seen by others, and it would be best to spread the word to Chang'an, so that others would know that Ye Yi already had a master, so as to save some people with evil intentions from always not giving up.
Ye Yi chuckled and said nothing.
Tang Xiao pouted, leaned slightly, leaned on Ye Yi's body lightly, poked the little leopard's head, and said, "Sure enough, it was right to bring this little guy here."
"Thank you for bringing it here." Ye Yi hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time, just doing simple things and thinking about nothing.
"As long as Brother Yi likes it."
When Chen Siming came, he saw the scene of Ye Yi and Tang Xiao loving each other, and looked around to make sure there was no one else in the yard, so Chen Siming was relieved.
"Yo Yo Yo, where are these newlyweds from? This honey is sweetened, look at my goosebumps."
The first sweet time alone after being connected was ruined by Chen Siming. Tang Xiao raised his head and glared at Chen Siming viciously.
Ye Yi turned his head and glanced at Chen Siming, then supported Tang Xiao's shoulders to stand up, and pulled Tang Xiao up with his backhand.
"Go inside and talk."
Chen Siming was the last to enter the door, and after closing the doors and windows, Tang Xiao moved to Ye Yi's side again.
Chen Siming twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help joking: "I thought that even if the two of you were together, there would be no change. After all, Tang Xiao has been clinging to Ayi since he was a child, but looking at it this way, it really is a little different." .”
Ye Yi's eyebrows twitched, he put the little leopard on the ground and ran casually, and asked as if he didn't care, "What's the difference?"
Tang Xiao also stared at Chen Siming, warning Chen Siming not to talk nonsense with his eyes.
Chen Siming hesitated for a while between the non-existent danger of his life and whether his friend's love life would be bumpy, and then said: "If you want to say the biggest difference, it should be the way Tang Xiao looked at you. Earlier, in order to prevent you from finding out, He will deliberately press down, if you don't even notice it, then others will not be able to see it, but now..."
Hearing this, Ye Yi turned his head to look at Tang Xiao, who immediately put on a straight face.
Ye Yi was amused by Tang Xiao, and said: "You're right, even if no one thinks about it for the time being, after a long time, someone will notice."
"So what?" Tang Xiao retorted dissatisfiedly, "If someone finds out, they will find out, anyway, it's the truth!"
Chen Siming didn't speak, but turned to look at Ye Yi.
Tang Xiao's calmness and integrity have always been appreciated by Chen Siming, firstly because he himself cannot achieve such calmness, and secondly because this kind of Tang Xiao is suitable for the suspicious Ye Yi's side.But sometimes, not being calm can make things easier.
After pondering for a while, Ye Yi looked up at Tang Xiao, and said with a smile: "Now is the time when His Majesty is employing people, A Xiao should do his best to fulfill His Majesty's instructions, and pay more attention to protecting the safety of the Fourth Highness."
Tang Xiao frowned, and asked displeasedly: "Brother Yi, do you want me to see you?"
Ye Yi nodded: "Yes, don't be too clingy to me for now."
"I do not……"
"I'll just go see you."
With just one sentence, Ye Yi blocked back all Tang Xiao's dissatisfaction.
Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi sullenly, and asked with distrust: "Brother Yi, will you really go to see me with His Highness Fourth?"
"Why? Is what I said so unreliable?" Ye Yi said deliberately.
Tang Xiao hurriedly shook his head.
Ye Yi smiled and said: "Then stay with His Royal Highness and wait for me to find you."
"Go once a day... no, three times a day!" Afraid that he would wait until he didn't know how long he would wait, Tang Xiao immediately set the rules.
Ye Yi shook his head and laughed, helplessly said: "How can I go three times a day? Once a day, I promise."
Can't it be three times?Tang Xiao looked at Ye Yi pitifully.
Ye Yi turned his head, ignored Tang Xiao, and asked Chen Siming, "Is there any result to what you asked to inquire about?"
Chen Siming nodded, then shook his head: "Yes, and no."
"What do you mean?" Ye Yi was puzzled.
Chen Siming sat down on the stool, and said: "The accompanying people are all arranged to live in different courtyards. I went to each courtyard to inquire, but no one found any suspicious people. The accompanying officials are very quiet. , and even seldom leave the palace, and if they go out, they are always in small groups.
Only the local officials of Yanzhou go in and out of the palace every day. The women dedicated to His Majesty and the princes are all maidservants in this palace. They are all newly recruited after the east tour last year. Don't stay, everyone's background has been personally checked by Mr. Zhao. "
After listening to Chen Siming's words, Ye Yi turned to look at Tang Xiao, both of them looked serious.
After entering Dali Temple, he handled many cases, today is the first time Ye Yi felt that the case would end without a problem.
