Let me eat a soft meal

After a quiet banquet ended, Ye Xuan called people to take a bath, but after washing, he found that Tai'an hadn't come back yet. Ye Xuan thought for a moment, and had every reason to suspect that Li Tai'an was abducted by a young master named Pei. up.

Ye Xuan didn't bother to confirm it, it happened to be a great festival, and he didn't want to stare at an expressionless guard, it would be better if he wasn't there, so as not to disturb his love with Yushu.

Ye Xuan's mood suddenly improved a lot. He dried his hair with internal force, put on a bright red robe like a bridegroom's official, thought for a while, and put on a few boxes of flower balm that he had begged for from Doctor Jiang. With an unspeakable surging mood, he swaggered and came to the prime minister's mansion with great excitement.

Then fluttered.

There were not many people in the prime minister's mansion. Before the new year's day, Xie Yushu let people go back for a reunion. He didn't come back until after the Lantern Festival. It was empty inside and out, and there was only one person who was in charge of sweeping the house. His legs were not very convenient. She fell asleep a long time ago, and Ye Xuan couldn't find anyone.

Ye Xuan usually only took Tai'an with him when he went out. Tai'an was not there, so he came alone. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and went to the courtyard where he had borrowed earlier.

This side is more popular. He moved into the palace and left Feng Yue with Xie Yushu. The gentleman in charge of teaching Feng Yue and the servants who took care of him stayed here. Those people were carefully selected by Feng Zijian, that is, Responsible for taking care of Fengyue's daily life and keeping him safe, and will also monitor Fengyue and Ye Xuan when appropriate.

Ye Xuan didn't bother to meet face-to-face with these delicate people, so he walked into the main room, and saw a candle lamp was lit in the room, Qing Lan was sewing clothes by the candle light, Feng Yue was nowhere to be seen in the room.

"Where are they?" Ye Xuan asked.

Qinglan was taken aback by his sudden sound, she pricked her hand without paying attention, immediately put her mouth in her mouth, and stood up to greet her.

Ye Xuan waved his hand to avoid it, then Qinglan shook her head and made a few gestures.

"Yu Shu took him to the night market?"

The national mourning had little effect on the people at the foot of the imperial city. Although there were many arrangements about the late emperor, the common people just listened to the excitement, turned their heads and forgot, and didn't even care whether the new emperor's surname was Ye or Feng. , the above did not say that the night market was closed because of the national mourning, so it is not wrong to open it while it is still open.

I just hope that these few days will be lively and lively, and I will earn more money to support my family.

Ye Xuan came out by climbing the palace wall. Looking from afar, the four streets, east, west, north, south, were as brightly lit as seven years ago when the Empress Dowager was on her birthday. It seemed that one could feel the noise even from afar.

Qinglan didn't know which street they were going to, Ye Xuan thought about it, and finally found the route he remembered to go to Wayao, the busiest Zhuque Street.

The outermost are jugglers, fire-breathing bowls topped with boulders on their chests, and further inside are all kinds of vendors, selling masks, hairpin flowers, and beard cakes. There are a variety of colorful things, and there are many people who sneak out among the crowd. The official children.

Ye Xuan turned around and didn't see Xie Yushu, but looked up and saw Pei Sheng who was applauding through the wide open windows of the restaurant.

"Li Tai'an, hit him in the face, if he breaks it, I'll be the one!"

Pei Cheng stared straight at the arena surrounded by crowds under the restaurant, put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly, the excitement on his face was not concealed, and he pretended to cup his hands at the angry man next door with a livid face, "Fifty taels of silver, thanks to the son's humility."

The prince stuck his neck and refused to admit defeat, and said, "It's not over yet, my subordinate is used to counterattack."

Before he could finish his sentence, the crowd erupted into cheers, the gong sounded, and the winner was decided.

"I've accepted it, my son." Pei Sheng smiled and stretched out his hand towards him.

"That's what you are doing!" The prince was so angry that he untied the money bag from his waist and threw it in the air, but the result was too angry, and the heavy money bag flew out.

Ye Xuan saw a familiar figure flying past, the sound of "swiping" the sword unsheathed, and a flash of cold light, which shocked the Rong people so much that the murderous knife hit the money bag, and the young man in black turned and fell On the higher terrace, amidst the sound of the handsome returning the sword back to its sheath, the money bag just fell into Pei Cheng's hands.

Then the black-clothed boy lowered his head and looked straight at Allah who was outside the crowd.

Tai'an: "..."

Ye Xuan: "..."

"Okay!" The surrounding people burst into exclamation belatedly, and all praised Tai'an for his handsome posture.

It was rare for Tai'an to show a tangled face, for a moment he didn't know whether he should pretend nothing happened or salute, just when he chose the latter and was about to surrender, Ye Xuan looked away.

He pretended not to see anything, and hurriedly flashed into the crowd.

"Li Tai'an, what are you doing? Come up here quickly!" Pei Sheng used the money he won to order a new table of dishes, but no one came up. He went to knock, but saw the boy in black still on the balcony, looking at the table. Lost in one direction.

When Pei Cheng looked up, he saw only a dense crowd of people who could make Tai'an stop at his original goal. There were only three people in Pei Cheng's heart: Feng Zijian, Ye Xuan, and that mysterious biological mother.

Pei Cheng directly ruled out the first two, not to mention the night banquet in the palace today, even if Taian saw Feng Zijian, he would not be surprised if he stabbed him with a knife. You must salute and call master on the spot.

If Tai'an hadn't lied to him, it could only be...Pei Cheng has always guessed that Tai'an's mother should be from the palace, and there is a high probability that she is a woman of the emperor. According to his age of Tai'an, the other party should be They entered the palace after the ninth year of Xuande, or were absent from the palace for a long time around this year.

Excluding the concubines who have never conceived children, in this calculation, only the concubines of Xianhuang, Yuegui, and Limei are eligible.

Concubine Xian is a princess of the royal family of Bohai. The first queen died of illness in the second year of Xuande, and entered the palace in the middle of the third year of Xuande. Later, due to factors such as unacceptable water and soil, she returned to Bohai many times to live for a long time. Until the tenth year of Xuande, she never left the capital.Concubine Yue entered the palace in Xuande 16 years ago. She and Empress Li were cousins. They never grew up together.

As for Limei, she entered the palace at the same time as Concubine Yue, except that she was a dancer from Dongying, and she was only 17 years old when she gave birth to the eighth prince.

That was the time when little Pei Sheng met little Tai'an, both of them were five years old at the same age, so Li Mei's age was not suitable for being Tai'an's mother, so Pei Cheng ruled her out.

Therefore, only Concubine Xian and Concubine Yue are eligible.As for the identities of the two, if they had had an affair with someone outside the palace and gave birth to a child, it would be a huge royal scandal, and they would never recognize Tai'an.

Pei Cheng's eyes flickered, and he quickly suppressed his emotions, but when he lowered his head, he found that Tai'an was looking up at a window on the third floor, tilting his head as if he was thinking about something.

He took a peanut and hit him on the head, rolled his eyes and said viciously, "Why are you in a daze, come up to eat, hurry up!"

Tai'an raised his head and said "oh", borrowed his strength to fly a few times, climbed the wall and jumped into Pei Cheng's window, causing Pei Cheng to complain a few times.

After complaining, he asked casually, "What were you doing looking at the third floor?"

"Someone." Tai'an paused, and filled out the words on Pei Cheng's patient face, "There is someone on the third floor, watch me."

After Pei Sheng digested this sentence, he rolled his eyes, "I said Li Tai'an, you showed such a trick just now, who wouldn't look at you?"

Tai'an showed a puzzled expression, but he didn't refute. He just silently picked up a few chopsticks of his favorite dishes for him, and then brought over the fish that moved a little in front of him, using his martial arts-trained eyesight to quickly and accurately pick out the bones of the fish.

Pei Sheng, on the other hand, was eating the dishes from Tai'an's bowl, while stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the fish that Tai'an had picked out, patting his chest with great satisfaction, and said generously, "Eat, eat, my lord is treating you tonight, eat more .”

"Yeah." Tai'an nodded softly.

On the top floor of the restaurant, after Tai'an entered Pei Sheng's box, a casement was closed from the inside.

The old and half-white-haired Xu Guogong sat on the opposite side, and said in a low voice, "Just now that person is Li Tai'an, Xiao Wang's personal bodyguard. It is rumored that he is Feng Zijian's son. He and his comrades like the armor of one black and one white, even the horses are one black and the other white, the two of them are quite famous in the frontier, and they are called black and white ghosts."

"This time he returned to the city with the army, and his comrades seem to have stayed in Cangzhou."

After Xu Guogong finished speaking, he asked the person standing next to him, "Xu Jin, you just saw his physical skills, if you match, what are your chances of winning?"

Xu Jin is the best and most loyal private soldier raised by Mr. Xu.

Xu Jin was silent for a while, and said tactfully, "Just seeing his lightness skill and the speed of his sword, I am far behind."

Xu Guogong nodded, asked Xu Jin to come up and pour him a cup of tea, picked up the teacup and sniffed it lightly on the tip of his nose, and asked without raising his head, "That's it, what do you think?"

"No way." The person on the opposite side gave a sinister smile and said, "If ten people can't do it, then a hundred people can do it, and if a hundred people can't do it, then a thousand people can do it. Could it be that he can still make a thousand people with one person?"

King Qi patted the table and said bitterly, "No matter how powerful he is, what can I do? I just need to ask someone to hold him back, and then capture the king and Ye Xuan's head."

"Grandpa thinks that I can't do this plan?"

Xu Guogong was silent, and heaved a long sigh.

A few quarters of an hour later, Pei Sheng was drunk, lying on the edge of the window with drunken eyes, and suddenly saw a luxurious carriage driving away. He tilted his head, grabbed Tai'an by the collar, and pointed to the place where the carriage ran away. Pointing, he said with a smile, "Look at that, it seems to be the carriage of Xu, Xu's mansion..."

Tai'an held back his sliding body, and when he looked again, the carriage had already left Suzaku Street.

……

Xie Yushu came back from the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and first sent Feng Yue, who was tired from playing, back to the yard. Qing Lan quickly took over and put the little master on the bed. Lan piled all the things he brought from outside on the bed, and would not lie down to sleep until they were put away.

Xie Yushu got those things by guessing lantern riddles.They walked all over the four streets and almost guessed all the lantern riddles. Xie Yushu hired two porters and almost didn't move back the things they got. Feng Yue liked it very much and gave away all the cakes and food they bought. If you get it, you will never let it go.

Eyes red and milky, she begged Xie Yushu with a voice, "Master Xiangye, let's take it back, okay? Yueyue will definitely cherish it very much, and it won't be damaged. Lord Xiang, please, please... ..."

This child was already exquisite and beautiful, and his eyes were full of autumn water. Not only Xie Yushu's heart softened, but even the two, five, three and three rough porters felt that they could not let him down.

The basket was stuffed to the brim, Xie Yushu hugged some, and the rest Fengyue asked to be hugged, followed with difficulty on her short legs, yawning from sleepiness without giving up.

Feng Yue asked people to spread those things all over the bed, until he couldn't put them down anymore, then he turned over in satisfaction, hugged the red lantern with the extinguished candle on all hands and feet and fell asleep soundly.

Xie Yushu watched his eyes closed, his face was almost carved out of Ye Xuan, couldn't help but smiled and stroked his hair.

Back in the yard, he found that the room was lit with candles. He was surprised and full of joy. He trotted over and opened the door. There were red lanterns and two boxes of ointment on the table, and the bed was neatly empty.

"Going back?" Xie Yushu was a little disappointed, closed the door and went up to pick up the ointment, and when he opened it, a light fragrance came to his nostrils, a little intoxicating.

He wiped some of it with his hands, and the grease was as clear as milk, and when he wiped it on the back of his hand, it soon became soft and greasy, with an overly moist luster.

Xie Yushu always felt that this ointment seemed to be too greasy, and it was very conspicuous when applied on the skin.

"Do you like it?" A voice suddenly asked above his head, and said with an ambiguous smile, "I like it, I will use it tonight."
