After Yin Huai woke up after being drunk that day, there was no other figure beside him, only a blue robe was hanging loosely on his shoulders.

He called his servants to know that Liu Ze had something to leave the house, so he called his servants to guard him.

Yin Huai didn't say anything on the face, but he beat his chest angrily in his heart, a good opportunity was wasted by him like this.

But that's the end of the matter, we can only look for the next opportunity.

After returning to the palace, he was about to go to bed and rest, lying on the soft bed, his eyes fell on the back of his head that was drooping in front of him.

"Chang Cang."

Chong Cang, who was kneeling down to help him wash his feet, raised his head upon hearing this, his thin lips tightly pursed

Yin Huai felt a little embarrassed, because he didn't feel very good towards Chong Cang, just like a vicious boss oppressing honest subordinates.

I have trained the prince of a country to be a skilled foot washer. I don't know how angry he will be when the people of Beirong find out about him after he returns to Beirong.

Thinking of this, he felt that it was necessary to put on a different look, and insisted on slapping a sweet date.

"From now on, you don't have to wait for me to wash your feet, just let the servants do these things."

Chong Cang heard that his hand was a little more strength unconsciously, frowned, and asked, "Why?"

"No, you did a good job." Yin Huai said sincerely, in terms of the strength of pinching his feet, he was indeed the most comfortable one to serve him.

Chong Cang stopped talking, obviously not believing it.

Seeing him like this, Yin Huai was in a dilemma, and in the end he could only compromise. He didn't know what good it was to wash people's feet.

Seeing Chong Cang lowered his head and remained silent, he just watched water being poured on his feet, and his movements were gentle.

Yin Huai forced him to look directly at him, "Look up and look at me."

Chong Cang raised his head slowly, revealing a handsome and deep face, those beautiful eyes were looking at him without blinking.

Yin Huai asked, "Are you angry?"

"……No."

Yin Huai snorted, "Duplicity."

Could it be that his feet are more fragrant than ordinary people's.

After he left, Yin Huai lay on the bed, looking at his white, greasy and slippery feet, full of worries, and finally restrained the urge to smell it.

……

The next day, there were also chattering noises in court, so Yin Huai could only stare at Liu Ze with burning eyes, hoping that he could say something serious.

But today he just smiled at the corner of his mouth, standing there silently, as if he was letting the farce continue to develop.

Yin Huai choked, and there were still other people breaking this farce.

"Your Majesty, spring is approaching, and I have something to say to Your Majesty."

Standing in the middle of the row was a righteous young official. Although he was not very old, he had already grown two small beards.

Yin Huai vaguely remembered that this person seemed to be Feng Yushi. He felt that the name was a little familiar, and it took him a long time to remember that he seemed to have read many of his books.

"speak."

Feng Zhang took out a strong literati style, looked at Yin Huai with disrespectful eyes, he was afraid that this brother's eyes would be sore.

"Your Majesty, I think that now is the time to recruit more talents. The selection system should be reformed so that local officials select talents and enter the Imperial College. In this way, even if they come from poor backgrounds, they can have the same educational environment as the children of the aristocratic family. The national examination is used to select talents."

Yin Huai looked at him a few more times when he heard the words, and was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't expect that Feng Zhang really had the guts to go head-on with the interests of the aristocrats and mobilize his whole body.

The expressions of the officials in the court changed, and even those who were bickering stared at Feng Zhang with the same hatred, their eyes sparked with lightning all the way, wishing to shoot a few holes in him.

Only Liu Ze's face was calm and his eyes were silent.

Of course, Yin Huai couldn't agree to it straight away, even if he had the intention, he couldn't suddenly make a decision, besides, there was the Queen Mother Yin who was listening to the government behind the curtain, how could she express her opinion without opening her mouth.

So he pretended to be impatient: "This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run."

The Empress Dowager Yin on the side frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful expression.

After going down to the court, Yin Huai took off his outer shirt and found himself sweating profusely. Every time he went up to the court, he listened to the ministers of the court.

He doesn't have the time to deal with these miscellaneous things now. Apart from going to the court these days, he is preoccupied with thinking about how to run away in the future.

How can I bypass the people around me and secretly buy a house outside the palace?Entering the Six Courtyards three times is the basic standard, and maids and servants are also indispensable, and he can't stay in Yindu.It is best to live a fairy-like happy life in a place far away from the emperor.

After being a migrant worker all his life, he will also be a high-level migrant worker when he comes to this world, and his life will be at risk at any time.

The kind where he wants to run away without looking back.

But right now there is also a headache right now.If he wants to buy some real estate, he has to get rid of Zhongcang and Hepingxi.

In order to conceal his eyes and ears, he specially put on a veiled cap and a thin smoky green shirt, with a few strands of black hair hanging down, he really looked like a young master who went out for an outing.

It was already dusk when he left the palace, as the king of a country, it was impossible for him to leave the palace alone, so he only had Ping Xi, Chongcang and two by his side.

Ping Xi is fine, but Chong Cang doesn't know why, he can't get rid of it no matter what, he can almost say that he is inseparable, whenever he takes half a step away from his sight, he will be alert immediately.

So in order to get rid of him, I had no choice but to lie, saying that I was going to find a place to go to the bathroom and let him wait there instead of following.

There was a painted boat docked on the river, brightly lit, and the night view of the Qinhuai River, Yin Huai found a painted boat with vermilion lanterns hanging on it.

"Sorry, I'm late down here."

Waiting for him was a middle-aged businessman, who was holding several beauties in his arms. Seeing him coming, he quickly asked him to sit down.

"What's the matter, since it's a distinguished guest, there's no need to talk about those formalities, just sit down."

"The title deeds are all here."

"This is a good place, but it's a bit far from Yindu, and the location is relatively remote, but the place is still relatively rich."

Yin Huai put the land deed into his arms, and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's better to be farther away."

After the official business was done, the two began to eat, drink and have fun. Yin Huai was surrounded by a group of Yingying and Yanyan. He always took pity on the beauties, but at this time his mind was not on these things, but was focused on listening to the merchant's words.

"There are some interesting places on this river. There is a building in the middle of the river. It is a full three-story building. It was left over from the naval battles of the previous navy. After renovation, it will be used as a venue for water market business."

Yin Huai just wanted to decline, but then he continued, "There are so many interesting things in this market, there are glowing cups from the Western Regions, all kinds of panaceas bought by charlatans, and dancing double-headed cups." Snakes, and scorpions imitating a thousand faces."

Yin Huai's heart moved slightly: "□□?"

"That's right, the crooked gadgets that are spread in the world can almost be faked by wearing them, it's like a different face."

Yin Huai regained his energy, stood up and walked out: "Then go and have a look."

The merchant led him out of the boat, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder in the corridor.

Not far from the painting boat where they were, there was another painting boat parked. Unlike the boat, it did not hang any colored lights, but quietly suspended on the water.

There are two figures on the boat having a drink, and one of them is Feng Zhang who was outspoken in the court before.

"I don't know if His Majesty listened to what I said in court?" I saw his brows furrowed, obviously these days are really hard.

The cyan figure sitting in front of him poured wine for him, and said in a light tone, "You have done your duty as a courtier, and the rest can only be done as human beings and obey the destiny.

"What Mr. Liu Xiang said is that I was worrying too much."

Liu Ze, who was facing him, smiled slightly. If there were other people here, they would definitely not believe what they saw with their own eyes.

Liu Ze, as a force supported by the old nobles in the court, how could he be with Feng Zhang who called for reform and revival of the new nobles?

Hearing Feng Zhang's reply, Liu Ze smiled again, glanced inadvertently, and glanced at a familiar figure on the opposite side of the boat, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

"Master Liu Xiang, what's the matter?"

Liu Ze withdrew his gaze, there was nothing unusual on his face, he just smiled and said lightly, "It's nothing."

Feng Zhang stared at his hand holding the wine cup, hesitated for a moment, and finally said nothing.

There is indeed a building boat in the center of the river. The attic on the deck stands high, with carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and bucket arches, surrounded by small boats, like stars arching the moon.

Yin Huai's painting boat slowly docked to the side, then he opened the curtain and walked out, thanked the merchants beside him, and stepped onto the deck.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the lights on the surrounding boats were like floating will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness. If it weren't for the crowds around, he would have suspected that he had entered a ghost market.

He entered the pavilion and found that it was brightly lit and very lively.

And he also found that most of the people inside didn't show their true colors, and they more or less covered their faces, so it didn't seem strange that he was wearing a veiled hat.

It seems that all kinds of strange things are sold along the way, and he has no other distractions, and he is focused on searching for what he wants.

In the end, he really found it. There was a sloppy old man sitting in the corner. His face was greasy and his hair was knotted in knots. There are a few faces.

Every place has its own rules, not to mention this self-contained market, Yin Huai decided to show the momentum of a regular customer, so as not to be bullied and slaughtered.

"How do you sell the mask?"

Unexpectedly, the old man was even more pushy than him. He squinted at him and snorted from his nostrils: "Not for sale."

"I don't sell what you put out for."

"I don't need silver. What is sold here is not silver. It is exchanged for things."

"Take something."

"I sell masks, you said you need something."

Yin Huai covered his face, subconsciously took a few steps back.

"What am I going to do with your face, but I just need your face as a model."

Yin Huai felt a drum in his heart, and felt that this was a little unreliable, and he carefully observed the mask on it. Although it was exquisite, it was still impossible to make it fit the face perfectly.

If you take a closer look, you can still find it, not to mention that even if it is as thin as a cicada's wing, it still has an extra layer of skin, which is unavoidable and stuffy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being a little disappointed.

As if aware of his doubts, the old man said coldly: No matter how delicate the mask is, it is still a mask. It is impossible to look like a new face, unless you find someone to draw another face on your face. "

"What do you mean?"

"But in the whole world, looking around, the only one who can change faces without anyone noticing is the one from Mingjingtai."

Before Yin Huai could say anything else, the old man stared at him and smiled suddenly, with a strange expression on his face.

"But it's your first time here."

Yin doubted and nodded.

"It's good for the first time." The old man laughed again and again, "You will get used to it after a few more visits."

Yin Huai suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, thanked him politely, and prepared to head back home.

But I don't know if it was his illusion, but now he realizes that there are a lot of eyes on himself.

It turned out that he didn't notice just now, since he stepped here, he has been regarded as a strange person who broke in by mistake, and has been scrutinized secretly.

Yin Huai's footsteps were getting faster and faster, and he had already noticed that there was something tricky here.

When he was panicking, someone grabbed his wrist in an instant. He was startled and was about to cry out, but his mouth was tightly covered by someone, and the sound of warm breathing came from his ears.

"Don't make a sound." The voice that sounded immediately was low and deep, but slightly cold.

Yin Huai was taken aback, and struggled subconsciously.

Seeing the restless fuss of the person in his arms, Yin Yubei frowned slightly, and just about to say something, he suddenly felt the moist and soft lips brushing against his palm, bringing a tingling sensation.

He couldn't help but catch his breath.
