It turns out that I too have been robbed.

Qi Baili's mother and concubine are just Zhaoyi who is not favored.Her jewelry is not very valuable.This thin silver chain has no decoration at all, it is extremely inconspicuous.

But in Zhoulanguan, where Pei Ruzhou was born and raised, gold and silver are the most indispensable.

After Pei Ruzhou solemnly put on this thin silver chain, Qi Baili suddenly felt... This gift to him is really shabby.

A strange emotion called embarrassment suddenly appeared in Qi Baili's heart.

He opened his mouth to say something, and even regretted giving the chain to Pei Ruzhou.But before he could open his mouth, he saw Pei Ruzhou's sparkling eyes.

He likes this bracelet more than he imagined.

It was only at this time that Qi Baili realized that Pei Ruzhou was thinner than he had imagined. The silver chain that was hanging on his wrist was put on Pei Ruzhou's hand and slid directly down to where the tattoo was.

His gaze couldn't help sliding down with the bracelet, then Qi Baili was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked away...

Fortunately, Pei Ruzhou didn't notice this.

After he put on the bracelet, he said to Qi Baili seriously: "Baili, don't worry, I will definitely keep it well."

"Yeah." Qi Baili smiled, a little shy in Pei Ruzhou's eyes.

Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili came out of Huazhang Palace just now. Although there was no one around, looking at their clothes, they were obviously different from ordinary Fengcheng people who came out to play during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The vendors who came to set up stalls today are all very discerning people.

Seeing the posture of the two of them, everyone surrounded them one after another.

Although Pei Ruzhou likes to join in the fun, it doesn't mean he joins in all the fun.Seeing that there were gradually more people around, he led Qi Baili to a side alley.

There are obviously a lot fewer people here, and the merchants on both sides are also a little deserted.

"Ru Zhou, where is this?" Qi Baili asked with some doubts.

"I don't know... let's just walk around casually," Pei Ruzhou said casually while looking around, "I have only been in Fengcheng for a few months, and I have been sick all the time before entering the palace, so I don't like this place very much." familiar."

After saying these words, Pei Ruzhou thought that Qi Baili was a little worried that it was not safe here, so he quickly added: "How about we go back?"

"No need, this place is very good." Qi Baili hurriedly said, this narrow alley is lined with teahouses and libraries on both sides, it looks especially deserted in such a lively festival today.

Not long ago, there was a rain in Fengcheng.The ground paved with stone slabs was slightly potholed, and the place where the water accumulated was illuminated by the moon, and there was a little silver light.

When he reached a place with few people, Pei Ruzhou's voice also became softer.

"The rain in Fengcheng is much more than that in Day Orchid Pass. In autumn, after a few rains, it seems that you can smell the water vapor. Oh... Also, there is a little smell of leaves and grass."

After finishing speaking, Pei Ruzhou approached Qi Baili curiously and asked, "Can you smell it?"

The smell of rain, the smell of grass.

Qi Baili was stunned for a moment, he never knew that rain and vegetation have a smell.

Hearing Pei Ruzhou's words, Qi Baili instinctively wanted to shake his head, but at this moment, he felt that he also smelled the faint water vapor in the air, as well as the faint fragrance overflowing from the grass and trees after being hit by raindrops. .

Obviously it was just a small discovery that couldn't be more small, but after actually smelling the smell that Pei Ruzhou mentioned, Qi Baili's mood was more excited than seeing some rare spices that were tributed from other places.

"Smell it!" he said.

Pei Ruzhou smiled, and lightly stepped over the puddle.

"I like autumn very much, and it also has this cool feeling. Your Highness...ah, no, what about you, Bai Li?" Pei Ruzhou didn't ask casually. If Qi Baili doesn't become a tyrant, he must not only study hard, but also It has to be full of love.

"Me?"

Before Pei Ruzhou, no one seemed to ask Qi Baili what he liked.And Qi Baili thought in his heart that what he likes is power, the feeling of being above everyone else, but Pei Ruzhou said...he likes autumn.

Without thinking, Qi Baili subconsciously nodded to Pei Ruzhou: "Me too."

"That's good." The young man in front of him suddenly showed an extremely happy expression.

And seeing this situation, Qi Baili looked at Pei Ruzhou and couldn't help but smiled softly.

Qi Baili didn't know what he liked, and he never thought about what he wanted to like.But he suddenly felt that what Pei Ruzhou liked, he could also like.

"Wait a minute..." Qi Baili was thinking, when Pei Ruzhou suddenly stopped and grabbed his sleeve.

"What's wrong?" Qi Baili looked at him suspiciously.

Pei Ruzhou shook his head lightly, then whispered to him, "The group of people in front...let's not go there."

After saying these words, Pei Ruzhou pulled Qi Baili to the side of the street near the wall.

He explained in a low voice: "Those people seem to be from the Western Regions who were next to the Third Prince at that time."

Hearing this, Qi Baili finally cast his gaze over there.

...He saw, just like what Pei Ruzhou said, there was indeed a group of people from the Western Regions sitting in a teahouse at the end of this alley.

But Qi Baili didn't see if there was any connection between this group of people and those around the third prince.After all, he had only met those people a few times.

In fact, Pei Ruzhou wouldn't have noticed this group of people if it was normal, but who let him see... the person who was drinking at the window seat and lowered his head just now was the Helian without disguise. Danger!

Pei Ruzhou didn't know what they were staying here for.

The two looked here again, and Pei Ruzhou finally tugged Qi Baili's sleeve lightly, and said to him: "Let's go, let's go another way."

"OK, all right."

They stopped talking, and walked around to another alley in silence.When the teahouse was no longer in sight, the two chatted again.

As Pei Ruzhou himself said, he has not been in Fengcheng for a long time, and he is not familiar with the road here at all.

The two of them chatted like this while walking in the streets and alleys. After a while, Pei Ruzhou was pleasantly surprised to find that...he didn't know where this place was.As for Qi Baili, the prince who went out less often than him, of course I don't know.

Fortunately, General Zhenxi's mansion was very famous. After asking a few passers-by, the two finally arrived at Pei Ruzhou's house before midnight.

Here, the servants of the family informed Princess Shuming that the young master had brought his friends.

Just as Princess Shuming was thinking about when Pei Ruzhou had friends in Fengcheng, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of the princess.

"Six princes?"

Obviously, the fact that the eldest son took the prince home shocked the princess.

She called out these three words subconsciously, and then hurriedly saluted.And before he finished a movement, Qi Baili hurried forward and helped the princess up.

Qi Baili said: "Princess, don't be polite, I'm just Ru Zhou's friend."

The implication is that he doesn't want the princess to treat him like a prince.

Hearing this, Princess Shuming smiled: "Okay... Zhou'er comes to Fengcheng, and I feel relieved when I have friends."

In fact, like everyone else, Princess Shuming didn't like Qi Baili at first, but when he stayed in the palace a while ago and saw Qi Baili worked hard and treated people very politely, his prejudice against him gradually weakened.

Qi Baili is just an introverted child.

After saying these words, the princess hurriedly asked someone to clean up the room for Qi Baili.

But I didn't expect that it was getting late now, but Pei Ruzhou had no intention of going to rest.

Taking advantage of the maid cleaning up the room, Pei Ruzhou led Qi Baili up the ladder to the roof.

By the way, he also brought a lot of dried fruits from Day Lan Pass.

To be honest, although Qi Baili is just an unfavored prince, he is a prince after all, and the people he has been in contact with since he was a child are all princes and grandchildren.

Until he was really pulled by Pei Ruzhou to the roof, Qi Baili still felt that this was really... so weird.It's just that Qi Baili also found that he didn't seem to reject this kind of boring thing that he thought before.

Unlike Qi Baili who was struggling to adapt, Pei Ruzhou was extremely happy at this time.

"Look at this roof, doesn't it have a good view?" After finishing speaking, Pei Ruzhou stretched out his hand and pointed to the magnificent building complex not far away.

Qi Baili took a look and asked, "Is that Huazhang Palace?"

"That's right! It's Huazhang Palace," Pei Ruzhou said while laying out dried fruits, "From the perspective here, Huazhang Palace really looks like a bird cage."

Qi Baili smiled, and said: "But Huazhang Palace is a place that countless people dream of."

"That's right," Pei Ruzhou took a sip of the fruit wine, winked at Qi Baili and said, "but it doesn't include me."

Pei Ruzhou and Qi Baili are two completely different types of people.

In Qi Baili's past world, everyone yearned for power and the resplendent royal court.So he took it for granted that everyone would love Huazhang Palace.

But Pei Ruzhou said he was not, and after hearing Pei Ruzhou's words, not only did Qi Baili not feel that he was being stubborn, he even felt that Pei Ruzhou should really stay as far away from this palace as possible.

But he was reluctant to leave Pei Ruzhou...

Qi Baili was Pei Ruzhou's first friend in Fengcheng, he was naturally enthusiastic, and originally wanted to sit with Qi Baili on the roof for a while.

But Princess Shuming, who usually doesn't care much about him, came over to remind him a few times after seeing that the person sitting here with Pei Ruzhou today was the sixth prince.

So Pei Ruzhou finally came down from the roof.

And this night, probably because of drinking the fruit wine, Pei Ruzhou also slept very deeply.

If there were no accidents, he would probably sleep until noon the next day.But the next day, just after the time for breakfast, a maid suddenly knocked on the door of Pei Ruzhou's room.

"Eldest Prince! Are you awake? Someone from the East Palace said that the Crown Prince invited you to visit."

"No, I want to sleep for a while..." After Pei Ruzhou said these words in a daze, he suddenly woke up.

etc!East Palace?

Prince?What does he want from me?

In an instant, Pei Ruzhou recalled the scene he saw on Jiuchongtian that day, and he also recalled the relationship with Prince Ning Congling that he hadn't figured out yet...

Unable to stop his curiosity, Pei Ruzhou, who was slightly interested in going to the Prince's East Palace, finally sat up from the bed.

... Otherwise, go and see?

But what will His Royal Highness do?

Just when Pei Ruzhou thought of this, the maid outside said again: "By the way, my lord, His Royal Highness has invited the sixth prince to go with him."

Hearing this, Pei Ruzhou finally stopped hesitating.

In the future, Qi Baili will be the one who will compete with the crown prince for the throne.And the prince didn't seem to like the sixth younger brother very much, and he didn't know why he was invited to the East Palace.

To be on the safe side, I'd better go and have a look with Qi Baili...
