Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Lu Zheyu endured it for a while, and finally couldn't take it anymore.Several times he wanted to push Shi Yunjing's head away, but he was worried that he would wake him up, and something would happen in vain. After this, Shi Yunjing woke up in a daze by himself.

"...Your Highness." Lu Zheyu was a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter?" Shi Yunjing asked confusedly, he realized that he had just involuntarily leaned on the shoulder of the person next to him, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Lu Zheyu paused for a moment, and considered his euphemistic words: "...It's already midnight, and I need to rest."

"Oh." Shi Yunjing responded, as if thinking about something.After a while he patted himself on the shoulder. "Come."

Lu Zheyu: "..."

He was asking him to sleep on his shoulder.

Seeing his hesitation, Shi Yunjing raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't you want to rest?"

Lu Zheyu resentfully said, "...I dare not offend you."

Shi Yunjing had long been tired of seeing the pretentious appearance of those ministers in the court hall, he snorted lightly, and stopped talking nonsense, took a cushion from the carriage and put it on Lu Zheyu's side, and leaned against the cushion through the cushion. On him, close your eyes and continue to sleep comfortably.

Lu Zheyu: "..." He is only 16 years old.Why is it so difficult.

It was already three o'clock when we arrived at the destination.Lu Zheyu woke up all the way.Shi Yunjing's personal guard, Chu Heng, lifted the curtain and saw this scene: Lu Zheyu was sitting in the middle with his back against the wall of the car, and Shi Yunjing was leaning on him, with his long legs resting on the side seat.The posture of the two of them is very... It is not completely appropriate to describe it as ambiguous, but it also makes sense.

Lu Zheyu met Chu Heng's eyes, with a helpless look on his face, he could only whisper, "Your Highness is asleep."

Chu Heng nodded, thought for a moment, and got off the carriage with the man on his back.Lu Zheyu was finally relieved.

After tossing and tossing for a whole day, by the time the guest room of the inn was packed, it was Yin time.Lu Zheyu arranged for the young masters, and he was the last one to rest.When he lay down on the couch, it was almost dawn, and Shi Yunjing had already slept comfortably for almost three hours.

At three o'clock on the second day, Lu Zheyu woke up, and after breakfast, everyone continued on their way.Shi Yunjing was obviously very satisfied with this human cushion, and continued to occupy his carriage this day.Lu Zheyu couldn't get out of the car and ride a horse, but endured it, and finally arrived at Chu Palace on the third day.

After entering the palace, according to the rules, he should have gone to see the emperor first.Shi Yunjing had already got off the carriage outside the palace, so as not to be seen by interested people after entering the palace, and cause trouble for herself for nothing.Li Zhongren, the chief eunuch of Emperor Cheng'an, politely led the way through the Imperial Garden to the Qianqing Palace.

Everyone thought they were going to see Emperor Cheng'an directly, but Li Zhongren led them to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, and ordered the little eunuch to serve tea and snacks, and finally bowed and smiled: "Your Majesty is still talking to several ministers. Discuss the matter, and please stay here for a while."

Lu Zheyu understood, this was already in his expectation.I'm afraid that even if you are not discussing matters, you have to "wait for a while". After all, you are a hostage from a neighboring country. His identity is a hostage, not a master.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheyu couldn't help smiling.Such a tiny expression was caught by Shi Yunjing, who sat beside Lu Zheyu, picked up a piece of snack in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth: "What are you laughing at?"

Lu Zheyu narrowed his eyes, and said without hesitation: "I first entered the Chu Palace, and I was overwhelmed by the prosperity of the palace. I was very happy, so I laughed."

Shi Yunjing glanced at him, he knew there was no answer to this question, and he didn't bother to ask further.He simply pushed the plate of snacks in front of him, and said lightly, "Try it. I tried it for you just now, and it's not poisonous."

Lu Zheyu didn't want to provoke him, so he reached out and took a piece of lotus flower cake.

Seeing that he was still obedient, Shi Yunjing didn't make things difficult for him anymore, and took a lotus flower cake and ate it.

Emperor Cheng'an didn't let them wait too long, after half an hour, Li Zhongren announced them into the palace.The ten people saluted respectfully, and Emperor Cheng'an smiled and gave them seats.

"I heard that you met an assassin on the road, are you injured?" the emperor asked with concern.

Lu Zheyu glanced at the two sides from the corner of his eye, no one was going to speak actively, so he stood up and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty is worried, but fortunately His Highness the Sixth Highness rescued him, it's just a minor injury, nothing serious."

"Oh? Which son was injured?"

Lu Zheyu thought about how to respond, Yan Lingjun got up silently, and saluted: "It's my minister. It's just a small injury, nothing to worry about."

Emperor Cheng'an raised his eyebrows: "This is?"

"Chen Yan Lingjun."

"So it's Mr. Yan." Emperor Cheng'an smiled.Yan's Mansion in Yecheng is also the Taifu's Mansion.The head of the Yan Mansion, Yan Shao, was the third/dynasty/emperor/teacher, and served as the chief assistant of the cabinet in the middle of the court. He can be said to be a well-known figure in Chen Guo. "How is your father?"

Yan Lingjun narrowed his eyes: "My father is fine."

Emperor Cheng'an seemed very happy, as if he had dug a pillar of the country from Chen Guo: "Young Master Yan is a man of talent, given time, he will surely become more successful."

"Your Majesty is overrated."

Emperor Cheng'an smiled: "The injury I suffered in Chu is due to my lack of care. I will lack something in the palace in the future, so just ask Mr. Yan."

Yan Lingjun looked down at the ground, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Good boy, I will grant you to be Yun Jue's companion again, would you like it?" Emperor Cheng'an said gently.

The fourth prince of Chu State, Shi Yunjue, the son of the emperor's favorite concubine Shugui.Yan Lingjun's face remained unmoved, and he said flatly: "I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust."

Emperor Cheng'an glanced at Shi Yunjue who was standing aside, the latter understood and saluted with fists together: "Thank you, Father."

Lu Zheyu's heart turned a thousand times.As the son of the Grand Tutor of Chu State, Yan Lingjun's knowledge and cultivation are naturally far superior to others.Above the main hall, Emperor Cheng'an surpassed his son-in-law and openly asked Yan Lingjun to be the companion of the concubine prince. This kind of favor is afraid that people in the world will not know.

Lu Zheyu involuntarily glanced at Shi Yunjing and the other princes, but seeing Shi Yunjing's face was still indifferent, as if what Emperor Cheng'an said just now had nothing to do with him, and the other young princes It is also watching the nose with the eyes and the heart with the nose.

Hearing that Yan Lingjun agreed, Emperor Cheng'an smiled and said: "Your gentlemen are all the sons of Chen Guo's important ministers, and all of them are outstanding. Naturally, I will not treat you badly. Now that you have come to Chu as a guest, I will assign you To accompany the reading in the womb of the emperors, do you think this arrangement is good?"

On the surface, it was a discussion tone, but sitting on the high seat in front of him was the Ninth Five-Year Lord of Chu State. This discussion was almost equivalent to an order, and everyone would definitely not have any objections.Lu Zheyu laughed lightly when he heard Emperor Cheng'an take being a hostage as a guest for granted.

As expected, Emperor Cheng'an saw that there was no objection from the crowd, thinking that it is time for the princes to choose companions to read.The fourth prince, Shi Yunjue, is the oldest prince in the palace, and next is Shi Yunjing. "Yunjing, who do you want to be your reading companion?"

Hearing Emperor Cheng'an's inquiry, Lu Zheyu's heart skipped a beat.He raised his head and looked at Shi Yunjing involuntarily, but suddenly realized that Shi Yunjing was also looking at him with a smile on his face. Lu Zheyu was always calm, but now he looked away in a panic.

He really didn't want to stay with this difficult Sixth Highness every day, and thought to himself that he must not be chosen, the eldest son of the prime minister, the eldest son of the Taiwei, and the second son of the Shangshu are all good candidates.

However, things turned out to be contrary to expectations. Lu Zheyu stretched out his hand and pointed his bony index finger at him: "That should be the eldest son of Marquis Dingyuan? Would you like to be my king's companion?"
