【Rebirth】Emperor's favorite

"Why not? Anyway, His Majesty doesn't have to ask me to accompany you to eat and sleep. You were alone yesterday, didn't you feel very happy?"

"Zi Xiao, I..."

Tuobayi was blocked by Shao Zixiao's words and didn't know what to say.

He did eat and sleep alone yesterday, but he was not happy at all, on the contrary, he felt really uncomfortable.

That's all, he doesn't dare to fight coldly anymore, he really wants to sleep with Zixiao in his arms!

"Zi Xiao, it's true that you haven't been back to the Prime Minister's Mansion for a long time. Then you can go back and stay for a few days. You will return to the palace after your brother gets married."

Seeing that Tuobayi agreed so readily, Shao Zixiao always felt that there was still a pit waiting for him to jump into... (This is indeed the case!)

"Thank you, Your Majesty, please give me a handbook."

"Huh? What handwritten order?"

"I want to leave the palace, but my token was given to someone else today, so I need His Majesty's order to go out."

Tuobayi felt like his heart was about to break.

It turned out that Zixiao came to him because he didn't have a token to leave the palace, not because he missed him or was afraid of him!

Hmph, it's so irritating, Zixiao, Zixiao, I must "seek" this debt back.

"I'm going to write the edict right now, just wait a moment."

Shao Zixiao took Tuoba's edict and took Xin Yi out of the palace smoothly.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Xin Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked around, and was full of curiosity about everything.

It's just that no idlers dared to stay outside the imperial city, so Xin Yi looked at it for a while, then put down the curtain of the car in disappointment.

Seeing this, Shao Zixiao smiled and said:

"You wait a little longer, until you are farther away from the palace, it will be lively."

"Young master, can we go to the market to play now?"

"This……"

"Young Master, you don't plan to go, do you? If we stay in the prime minister's mansion all day long, what's the difference from staying in the palace?"

"Of course I will go to the market. After all, I have to buy gifts for my brother. But, shall we go now?"

"Anyway, it's still early, let's go play first~"

Seeing Xin Yi's eagerness to try, Shao Zixiao knew that the life in the deep palace really suffocated her.

"OK then."

With Shao Zixiao's consent, Xin Yi immediately commanded the little eunuch who was driving the carriage outside to tell him to drive the carriage to the busiest market in the capital.

After getting off the carriage, Xin Yi helped Shao Zixiao walk at first, looking like a maid.

But soon, she was attracted by the dazzling array of small objects, and ran all over the street.Shao Zixiao's current body does not dare to run, so he ignored her and walked slowly in the market alone.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

Shao Zixiao turned her head in panic, and then unexpectedly saw her former friend——Zhao Yuanxi.

"Zi Xiao, it's really you? I thought I must have admitted the wrong person, and I've already figured out how to apologize!"

The emotion that Shao Zixiao had been planning to reunite with his old friends was completely wiped out by his words.

He burst out laughing, and asked:

"Since you feel that you must have admitted the wrong person, how dare you pat me on the shoulder?"

"That's because I feel that it must be you from the back, but I also feel that it is impossible for you to appear here now. After all, you are now..."

Zhao Yuanxi couldn't say the word "imperial concubine".

Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Shao Zixiao hurriedly changed the subject, saying:

"Your ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting should have improved a lot recently, right?"

"Don't mention it again. Without you by my side to guide me, I bought several sets of calligraphy and paintings by mistake. My old man almost kicked me out of the house!"

"Well...these are not important, the important thing is... how much money do you have on hand now?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuanxi hugged Shao Zixiao's body and said:

"Zixiao, do you want to help me? I'm so touched... I knew you wouldn't forget me when you became rich!"

"No, no, Yuanxi, you misunderstood...I want to borrow money from you..."

Zhao Yuanxi hastily let go of Shao Zixiao's body, and said sharply:

"You are fake Shao Zixiao!"

"?"

Shao Zixiao was baffled by him.

"I... am fake? What do you mean?"

"Hmph, a bold thief, dare to pretend to be my friend to cheat me of money. There is no door! You don't even ask, our Zixiao is now someone close to His Majesty, will he be short of money?"

Shao Zixiao can't laugh or cry...

"Yuanxi, I, I am the real Shao Zixiao."

"Hmph, I just don't believe it!"

"Yuanxi, when you were ten years old, I was studying in the same school as you. You couldn't understand a kid from a rich family sitting next to you, you peed on his stool, and then the master beat you up, it hurt so much... ...Shouldn't you have forgotten?"

"Ah? You...you are really Zixiao!"

"If it's a fake replacement."

"Then why are you short of money?"

"Do you know that my brother is getting married soon?"

"Of course I know, I have all the money and gifts ready."

"I'm not ready yet!"

"...Are you kidding me? There's nothing good in the palace, just stealing a pair of chopsticks when you're eating is a congratulatory gift."

"You said it all, it's 'stealing', even if I ask His Majesty for it, it's not mine. I really can't bear the fact that I asked my husband for a gift, and then immediately passed it on to my brother. It's too disrespectful to me. brother."

"Actually, your elder brother loves you so much, even if you don't give him anything, he won't be angry. He only hopes that you will have a good life and not be wronged in the palace. Of course, this is also what I expect .”

When Shao Zixiao heard Zhao Yuanxi's words, his eyes were red.

Seeing more and more people in the market, Zhao Yuanxi took Shao Zixiao's hand and said:

"Let's go."

"Huh? Where to go?"

"It's hard for you to go out of the palace once. My brother treats me and takes you to Caixianlou for dinner!"

"Caixian Tower? Isn't that a brothel?"

"Yes, but his family's food is also the best in the capital!"

Shao Zixiao let Zhao Yuanxi hold his hand and walked in the market.It's like going back to their childhood.

The two long-lost old friends didn't notice at all that behind them, there was a gorgeously dressed man closely following them.

When he saw them hugging each other, the man's eyes turned red with anger.

Seeing them walking hand in hand, the man hastily followed them.His clenched fists were full of veins.
