The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

The Forbidden Garden is a royal garden located in the four north direction of the Imperial Palace. In addition to dense forests and flower fields, there are also pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and small pavilions in the water. The scenery is pleasant and beautiful.

It is said that there is a pear orchard on the east side of the Forbidden Garden. In the pear orchard, there are a group of skilled actors who only perform for the emperor. It is said that on the west side of the Forbidden Garden, there is a hunting ground that is not too big but not too small. , raised from cubs to adults, but only for Bo Longyan Xinyue.

When he heard from Lian Sheng and Xiu Shui how exquisite and exquisite the forbidden garden was, Xiao Yanzhi just wanted to sigh that being rich is self-willed.Ordinary people have to work hard to support their families, but the emperor still has spare energy to support actors and beasts.

But the world is like this, and the current emperor's glory and wealth are all exchanged for his life, so it can be regarded as getting what he deserves after paying.

Today's palace banquet was held in front of the stage in Liyuan. When Xiao Yanzhi, Pei Ze, and Xu Lishan arrived, the seats had already been set up in the square in front of the stage, and the concubines who had come to the Forbidden Garden earlier were also sitting in their respective seats. In bed, I would occasionally poke my head around and talk a few words with the people around me, but the more some people talked, the happier they were, while the more others listened, the more disturbed they became, making people know that the play of the concubines had already begun.

However, the appearance of the three of Xiao Yanzhi instantly quieted down the lively square.

When Xiao Yanzhi didn't come, those concubines who had seen him at the door thought that they should restrain themselves today. After all, no matter whether they were favored by the emperor or not, they were all the emperor's women, so it's not good to be in front of the emperor and other princes. He stared at the other men, but when Xiao Yan came, no reason or restraint was going to work. Those who had seen him before or those who had never seen him all looked over in unison. , It took a long time for someone to lead the salute.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, turned his head to ask Xu Lishan after looking around in the crowd, "Is there anything wrong with my clothes today? Or is it that I look too strange? Why do you feel that someone is always looking at you?" I?"

When he was at the door just now, many people stopped to look at him, right?Why?

"Uh..." Xu Lishan looked around after hearing the words, and said vaguely, "Probably because I have never seen Brother Huang before, so I am curious."

Inexplicably, he just didn't want to tell Xiao Yanzhi that everyone was looking at him because he was good-looking.They are both father's children. He and Xu Liqian still have a [-]% or [-]% similarity in appearance, but they don't look like Xiao Yanzhi at all... Xiao Yanzhi was really born by father?

"Really?" Looking around suspiciously, Xiao Yanzhi felt that the eyes of those women were not only flickering with curiosity, but also seemed to hide some terrible things... Forget it, don't get into it.

"This old slave salutes the two Highnesses, and I have met King Wu Cheng." Zhao Kang had been waiting in the Liyuan for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Yanzhi as usual, he immediately came up to greet him.

As soon as he saw Zhao Kang, Xiao Yanzhi immediately looked in Zhao Kang's direction: "Father is already here?"

"No, no," Zhao Kang said with a chuckle, "Your Majesty is still in the Hall of Liangyi, and I guess he should be here in a while. The old slave is here to wait for His Majesty by His Majesty's order."

"Wait for me?" Xiao Yanzhi pointed back at himself, then looked at Xu Lishan and Pei Ze with a puzzled face, seeing that the two were also confused, he asked Zhao Kangdao nervously, "Father... What's up?"

He has been very peaceful these days, but he hasn't done anything worthy of the emperor's attention.Could it be that the emperor knew about what happened with Qin Tai's family during the day?How did this news spread so fast?

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's expression, Zhao Kang laughed again and said, "Your Highness, where do you want to go? Your Majesty is worried that His Highness will panic when attending a palace banquet for the first time, so he asked the old servant to come over and take care of His Highness first." .”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Father Lao, I'm bothering you."

"Your Majesty always misses His Highness in your heart. Will this old slave lead His Highness to your seat?" Zhao Kang slightly turned sideways and pointed to Xiao Yanzhi's position.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Not long after the three of Xiao Yanzhi sat down, the emperor walked over with Xu Liqian, followed by Concubine Jiang, who were talking and laughing, as if they were talking about some interesting topic.

A eunuch shouted "Your Majesty is here" in a high-pitched voice, Xiao Yanzhi ran back to the entrance of the Liyuan with Pei Ze and Xu Lishan under the guidance of Zhao Kang, knelt down to greet the emperor, and all the concubines also came from here. Stand up from the seat, but did not gather together, just found a small space next to the seat and knelt down.

"Get up," the emperor bent down, and personally helped Xiao Yanzhi up, "When did Yanzhi come?"

Xiao Yanzhi turned around and followed the emperor half a step away before walking to his seat, smiling brightly and saying, "I've been here for a while, and I just happened to enjoy today's sunset at the door."

"Sunset?" The emperor turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and said with a smile, "You will enjoy it, and watch the sunset. After wandering around for a day, you won't be tired? I heard that you have visited many places."

"Father heard about it again?" Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Xu Liqian.

Xu Liqian was also calm, and made a face to Xiao Yanzhi, which meant that he admitted his "snitching" behavior.

The emperor flicked his clothes, sat down on the seat, and said: "What? You guys went out to have fun, why don't you let me listen to the excitement?"

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said: "If I knew that Father is so interested, I should invite Father to travel with me today, and I will definitely not run into trouble."

The emperor laughed and scolded: "Are you trying to use me as a shield?"

"No, no, how dare my son," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I just want to pretend to be a tiger."

"Nonsense!" The emperor rolled Xiao Yan's eyes, and then said, "It's good that you're not hurt. Don't be so reckless in the future, and take He Yan with you wherever you go. The purpose of arranging a guard for you is to let him protect you. It's good for you, go out and wander around by yourself, but give the guards a holiday."

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "I'm used to being alone, you suddenly want me to take someone with me wherever I go, I'm really not used to it."

"What's wrong with you?" the emperor asked, "Anyway, even if you walk in front, you won't be able to see the person behind. If he doesn't speak, just pretend he's not there."

Xiao Yan was startled, looked at the emperor curiously and asked, "Father, is this how you are used to it?"

"That's not."

The emperor admitted it too simply, causing Xiao Yanzhi to twitch the corner of his mouth and say "Father Emperor is wise", which also made Zhao Kang feel sour.

After all these years of co-authoring, His Majesty always pretends that he does not exist...

In order to strengthen his sense of existence, Zhao Kang took a step forward, bowed his head behind the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, you see that all the concubines in the harem have arrived today, and it's His Highness' reception banquet again, do you want to say something? "

The emperor waved his hand and said: "I have nothing to say, I just asked them to admit what they said, see and know."

The emperor has always disliked these vain rituals. When entertaining courtiers, it is a last resort. He has to say something, and when facing the courtiers, the emperor also has something to say, but now the people sitting behind him are all women. What?It's just a family banquet anyway, why bother?In the past few years, the emperor seldom held palace banquets, probably because he was bored with these tedious procedures.

"The old slave is going to order them to have a feast."

After speaking, seeing the emperor nodding again, Zhao Kang took two steps away, but he didn't run all the way to inform the palace people to hold a banquet, but he just called his little apprentice to let him know that Zhao Kang's job is considered to be Finished, the next thing is to let the little apprentice run with all his strength to inform the dining room and Liyuan Yingling.

After talking with Zhao Kang, the emperor turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and saw Xiao Yanzhi leaning lazily on the armrest of the grand master's chair, with a plate of fried cashew nuts being dragged to his eyes, one after another. Throw one by one into your mouth, not idle for a moment.

"Are you hungry?" There was a little disgust in the emperor's expression.

Is this kid doing this on purpose?Obviously she is quite good-looking, and her words and deeds can also be suave, but she always makes herself look like she doesn't know the rules.

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi looked up at the emperor, shook his head and said, "I'm not very hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi threw another cashew nut into his mouth.

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, and he said, "If you're not hungry, what are you eating?"

Xiao Yanzhi frowned, looked at the emperor with dissatisfaction and said, "Father, didn't you say that today is a family feast? How can anyone pretend to eat in front of their own family?"

"Unreasonable!" The emperor glared at Xiao Yan.

They are not ordinary people, even at a family banquet, they must pay attention to etiquette and image!

"As an elder brother, you should set an example for your siblings." The emperor said earnestly.

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, pointed at Pei Ze who was sitting diagonally behind him, and said, "The adoptive son is also counted as a son. Where is our eldest son, he is definitely a good example!"

"You have ten sentences waiting for me! There are people in their twenties, sit up and sit upright!" He must fix this kid to look good!

"How much is twenty?" Hearing the emperor's description, Xiao Yanzhi smirked, "Father, what are you talking about, how old is my son this year?"

The emperor immediately looked embarrassed.

Concubine Jiang, who was sitting on the other side of the emperor, had been listening attentively to the conversation between the father and son. When she heard this, Concubine Jiang interjected understandingly: "Look at what your Highness asked, how could a father Don’t know the age of your son? Your Majesty is twenty-three this year, and I often hear His Majesty talking about it, but I can’t forget it even if I want to.”

Concubine Jiang's words are so false, the emperor and Xiao Yanzhi are like mirrors, but this situation has passed, and the emperor's face has been preserved, which saves Xiao Yanzhi who asked the question from the possibility of being hated by the emperor, and also Let the emperor remember Jiang Guifei as a favor.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor pretending to be surprised, and said as if he was very moved: "Father, the emperor still remembers? My son is very moved!"

The emperor gouged out Xiao Yan's eyes.

move?Moved ass!This kid is deliberately trying to ridicule him!

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, poured a cup of tea for the emperor and handed it over as an apology.

The emperor took the tea, and drank it with a heart full of melancholy.

If the second or third child dared to challenge him in front of him, he would definitely slap him and let them know what father is the guide of son, but why can't he just use this kid with a hippie smile?Look at him smiling so proudly, with a treacherous look on his face!

When the palace banquet officially started, there was an actor on the stage singing babbling, singing very well, but Xiao Yanzhi couldn't understand it, so he lost interest after listening to it for a while, and turned his attention to the little girl in front of him. Tangerine peel beef on the table.

The emperor is also a person who doesn't like listening to operas, but because of etiquette and face, he has to force himself to finish watching every time, and even put on an expression of "you sing so well, I am so happy", that feeling Not to mention how uncomfortable it is.

Tonight, the emperor originally planned to finish listening to the scene as usual, but he just glanced at Xiao Yanzhi by chance when he heard that he was bored, but seeing Xiao Yanzhi was devouring his food without distraction, the emperor twitched his mouth.

"In other words, they can't sing well?"

"En?" Xiao Yanzhi turned his head when he heard the sound, "They sang very well."

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's insincere eyes, the emperor knew that he was talking nonsense again: "They sing well, but they are not as good as a piece of tangerine peel beef?"

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, and said: "They sing well, but Erchen can't understand them, so no matter how well they sing, Yu Erchen must say that they can't compare to tangerine peel beef."

When Xiao Yanzhi also said that he didn't understand the opera, the emperor immediately had the feeling that he had found a soulmate, and secretly lamented that Xiao Yanzhi was indeed his son.So he stopped listening to the emperor's play, and used this topic to chat with Xiao Yanzhi sentence by sentence. Every sentence he said was nonsense, but he was happier than ever.

There are many people who also have no intention of listening to the opera.

Concubine Jiang wanted to listen in on the conversation between Xiao Yanzhi and his son, but there was already some distance between her and the emperor, and now the emperor went to Xiao Yanzhi's side again, and she was even further away from the father and son. There was a burst of music coming, Jiang Guifei couldn't hear a word, only the father and son could be seen talking happily.

Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian sitting in the back also looked at Xiao Yanzhi talking happily with the emperor, secretly guessing what Xiao Yanzhi said that made the emperor overjoyed, but they had different thoughts.

Tonight's concubines are also full of enthusiasm, they can always take the opportunity to take a peek at Xiao Yanzhi who is sitting under the lantern, they don't even have the desire to compare and bicker with each other, they are extremely harmonious.

In this strange atmosphere, Zhao Kang couldn't help shivering.

There is a lot of gossip, and you always have to talk about some unavoidable issues. Even the emperor should care about his son's relationship status when chatting with his son. So after a topic is over, the emperor starts to care about his eldest son. : "In other words, when will you marry a wife?"

Hearing this, the defenseless Xiao Yanzhi was frightened, and swallowed the piece of beef that had just been put into his mouth without paying attention. The piece of beef got stuck in his throat, but Xiao Yanzhi choked enough.

After pouring down a bowl of tea, Xiao Yan looked at the emperor with resentment on his face, and said, "Father, you have changed the topic too quickly, can't you say hello in advance?"

The emperor glared at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "I'm just asking if you have a woman you like, and you need to say hello in advance? Why did you scare you like this? Could it be that you fell in love with someone else's daughter-in-law?"

Xiao Yanzhi twitched his eyebrows, and said with a teasing smile: "If my son says yes, will father and emperor help me to snatch it?"

"...I will break your dog legs!"

"I'm a dog leg, so what are you..." He muttered in a low voice, before the emperor could get angry, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Father, since you don't intend to help your minister, what are you asking?"

"Ask what?" He is Xiao Yanzhi's father, why can't he ask? "I want a daughter-in-law, can't I?"

"Okay!" Xiao Yanzhi nodded readily, then pointed to the direction behind him, and said, "You still have two sons. If you want a daughter-in-law, you can have one. If you want two, you can have one." One pair, you only need an imperial decree from your father, and you will never lack a daughter-in-law again!"

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's playful smile, the corners of the emperor's eyes twitched violently.

"Eldest brother doesn't have a family, how can we get them?" He didn't believe that he couldn't beat this kid!

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi turned to look at Pei Ze.

Pei Ze was already looking at Xiao Yanzhi, so when Xiao Yanzhi turned his head, the two of them saw each other.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't speak, and stared at Pei Ze, then frowned and curled his lips.

It doesn't seem very kind to direct this disaster to Pei Ze. If the emperor really gets into a fight with him, wouldn't Pei Ze have to marry him?Hmm... Pei Ze treated him well, but it's not good for him to deceive people like this.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi turning his head to look at Pei Ze, the emperor also turned to look at Pei Ze, and then said with a smile, "What? You want to say that the adopted son is also considered a son, and Pei Ze is your elder brother? But if he marries a wife, The child born will not be named Xu Li."

"Marry a wife?" Pei Ze looked at the emperor who was smiling very complacently, and then at Xiao Yanzhi who looked distressed, and frowned.

Xiao Yanzhi sighed regretfully, and said, "That's true."

Xiao Yanzhi cast his eyes on Xu Lishan again, and asked with a pleasant smile: "Second Brother, do you have a favorite girl for Mid-Autumn Festival today?"

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi's misfortune could not attract Pei Ze, he turned his target to Xu Lishan again. The emperor shook his head and laughed, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he looked at Xu Lishan together with Xiao Yanzhi.

Xu Lishan was dumbfounded by Xiao Yanzhi's question, and then found that several people around him, including Xu Liqian and Concubine Jiang, were looking at him.

"No, no." Xu Lishan couldn't help but stumbled when he spoke, seeing the chills down his spine.

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi obviously didn't believe it, "There are so many girls in Chang'an City, but none of them like you?"

Not used to being stared at by the emperor all the time, Xu Lishan froze and shook his head numbly.

Xiao Yanzhi was speechless, and asked again: "Then what kind of girl does the second emperor like? Let me tell you, so that Concubine Jiang can help you find out which girl can be in love with you."

"What, what's it like?" Xu Lishan blinked, his mind went blank, he could only turn his head to Pei Ze for help.

Before Pei Ze could come up with a way to help Xu Lishan out of the siege, Xiao Yanzhi said half-truths and nonsense: "Yo! The second emperor's taste is quite strong, and it's hard to find a girl who looks like his brother-in-law." .”

Hearing this, Xu Liqian burst out laughing, Xu Lishan was dumbfounded, Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yan's helpless face, the emperor simply slapped Xiao Yanzhi on the back of the head.

Concubine Jiang's face was slightly ugly, she forced a smile and said: "Your Highness is really good at joking. What kind of things does Your Highness like?"

In front of His Majesty, how dare Xiao Yanzhi say that Shan'er likes men?What if His Majesty takes it seriously?

"Me?" Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, and then said with a smile, "I just like brother Yi."

The emperor raised his hand and slapped Xiao Yanzhi on the back of the head again: "You're talking nonsense!"

Xiao Yanzhi rubbed the back of his head, curled his lips and did not speak.

He really likes men like Pei Ze, not women.

He hadn't thought about this before, but now that he thought about it, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly found that Pei Ze really fit his liking. Needless to say, his appearance and figure, his taciturn but reliable personality was also exactly what he liked. Being powerful and rich is the icing on the cake...

The more he thought about it, the more itchy he felt in his heart, so Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze again, seriously considering the possibility of Pei Ze, but then he remembered that Pei Ze was the only son of the Pei family, and he had no wife or son so far, so he Feeling that the possibility was unlikely, Xiao Yanzhi glanced at his mouth regretfully.

"What's wrong?" Sensing Xiao Yanzhi's gaze, Pei Ze naturally looked at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and then he smiled, shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing, but the more I look at it, the more I think my brother-in-law looks good."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi received another slap on the back of the head.

Xiao Yanzhi turned to the culprit, and said sadly, "Father, why are you beating more and more hard? What if you are stupid?"

"Don't worry if you're being stupid, lest you talk nonsense! Sit upright!"

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips, and reluctantly turned around and sat down.

The emperor also sat upright, sighed after a while, and said: "I don't know who you look like, you are not serious. At the end of this month, the talent show will start, so you take this opportunity to choose one." Let's start a family first and then start a career, you are not young anymore, it's time to settle down and settle down."

"My son is quite stable." Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth.

The emperor rolled Xiao Yan's eyes and said, "Then make yourself more stable."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi thought maliciously that he might as well just tell the emperor here that he actually likes men. It would be even better if there is a palace concubine with a long tongue who can help him spread the word!

But Xiao Yanzhi is just thinking about it, if he just wants to have fun for a while, then he can only ask for trouble, if the emperor forcefully arranges a marriage for him if he is in a hurry, then he will have nowhere to cry up.

Alas, thinking that he, a weak young man with no strength to restrain a chicken, wants to live an inhuman life in this deep palace, why is his life so miserable!

Sighing sadly, Xiao Yanzhi stood up.

The emperor was still thinking about which girl in the boudoir would be suitable for Xiao Yanzhi, but suddenly Xiao Yanzhi stood up: "What are you going to do?"

"I am anxious." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yanzhi left leisurely under the stare of the emperor.

Staggering out of the pear garden, Xiao Yanzhi bumped into Qin Fengming before he had gone far.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyebrows twitched, and he turned around to hide in the dark to avoid Qin Fengming, but Qin Fengming shouted loudly and stopped Xiao Yanzhi.

"The next official sees the King of Shu!"

His father wanted him to plead guilty, and he felt that it was better to start with Xiao Yan. If there was a way to make Xiao Yanzhi feel ashamed to accuse them in front of the emperor, half of their guilt would be spared, just like what he did to the second prince and the others in the past. Provocations are average, as long as the parties don't give reliable testimony, the emperor can't do anything about them.

Xiao Yanzhi paused, turned to look at Qin Fengming, and asked in surprise, "Why is Qin Shaoqing here?"

Qin Fengming took two steps forward, and as soon as he lifted his clothes, he knelt down in front of Xiao Yanzhi without hesitation, and said with a very sincere attitude: "This official is here to plead guilty to the prince."

"Apologize?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, "Qin Shaoqing's words confuse me, I have never had anything to do with Qin Shaoqing, why did we get married first?"

"This official is terrified," Qin Fengming continued with his head down, "I ran into the lord in the market during the day. I drank a lot of wine at the time, and I offended the lord by being foolish. I know that I deserve death. Please Your Highness will punish you!"

There is nothing wrong with these words at first, but Xiao Yanzhi himself likes men, and Qin Fengming is also known for his masculinity, so thinking about these words again, Xiao Yanzhi felt that there seemed to be something wrong.

Qin Fengming drank a lot of wine... got confused... offended... so how did he get offended?

Glancing left and right, Xiao Yanzhi knew that the guards in front of the Liyuan gate were thinking about the same problem as him.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the top of Qin Fengming's dark head, and suddenly smiled and said: "Qin Shaoqing is serious, it's just a trivial matter. But during the day, I was really taken aback by Qin Shaoqing, who dared to beat the prince with alcohol, Qin Shaoqing is probably the No.1 of all time."

Qin Fengming was startled, raised his head and took a peek at Xiao Yan, and saw Xiao Yan was smiling calmly, he couldn't tell whether he was annoyed or not, but he must have understood what he meant by framing him for beating the prince.

Qin Fengming rolled his eyes, and said again: "I didn't intend to hurt the prince, but I was in a hurry and couldn't help myself... I know that the crime is unforgivable, and I am willing to be punished."

After speaking, Qin Fengming bent down and kowtowed.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the sky speechlessly.

It is true that he and Qin Fengming are of the same kind, but do they have to be related?He is also very picky!

Xiao Yanzhi snorted coldly and said, "Are you willing? Oh, yes, you also said during the day that you can let me handle it. If so, Qin Shaoqing will go to the cleansing room tomorrow to receive the punishment."

The guards who had just been lured by Qin Fengming just now lost all their charming thoughts when they heard this, silently clamped their legs, and secretly thought that Xiao Yanzhi really didn't like Qin Fengming, and would be dismissed just because he was offended If Qin Fengming really did something affectionate to Xiao Yanzhi, wouldn't his life be forfeited?

Tsk tsk tsk, sure enough, good-looking people are not easy to mess with.

Qin Fengming didn't expect Xiao Yanzhi to say this, at first he thought he heard it wrong, but when he looked up and saw the sneer on Xiao Yanzhi's face, Qin Fengming's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Although the big thing is not good, his previous plea was so firm that Xiao Yanzhi really punished him, but he couldn't refuse it.This is not the time to turn things around, let's think about whether we can save ourselves in front of His Majesty later.

So Qin Fengming gritted his teeth and kowtowed again: "If this is the prince's wish, then... the next official will take orders."

"En." Xiao Yanzhi nodded, turned his feet, walked around Qin Fengming and left with a cold face.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't let go, and Qin Fengming didn't dare to stand up, until Zhao Kang came out and said that the emperor had summoned him, Qin Fengming got up from the ground, dusted off his body, and entered the pear garden.

After relieved, Xiao Yanzhi wandered around the Liyuan for a while, thinking that Qin Fengming had almost left before returning to the Liyuan, but when he walked into the Liyuan and looked in the direction of the emperor, Xiao Yanzhi saw Qin Fengming kneeling beside the emperor.

Xiao Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from far to near, the emperor turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and asked with a light smile, "Why did you go so long?"

"Oh, I walked around." Xiao Yanzhi sat down on his seat.Seeing that there was a new dish on the table, he picked up his chopsticks and ate as if no one was there.

"It's dark at night, what can you see? When I'm free, I'll bring you to the Forbidden Garden to have a good time."

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, bowed his hands to the emperor pretendingly, and said, "Thank you, Father. Are you waiting for Father to fulfill his promise?"

"No joke." The emperor smiled.

With a smile on his face, the emperor said again: "Speaking of which, I heard that you want Qin Feng to go to the cleansing room tomorrow to receive the punishment?"

"Well," Xiao Yanzhi nodded calmly, "Just now at the gate of the Liyuan, he said he pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, so I punished him."

"Then do you know where the cleansing room is?" The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi amusedly.

"I know," Xiao Yanzhi raised his head to look at Zhao Kang, and said, "Master Zhao must have been there."

Hearing this, Zhao Kang was slightly embarrassed, but responded with a smile: "Your Highness really knows."

The emperor smiled and glared at Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "You know you still let him go?"

"I let him go only because I knew it!" After saying that, Xiao Yanzhi glared at Qin Fengming bitterly.

The emperor raised his eyebrows, glanced at Qin Fengming, and asked Xiao Yanzhi again: "How did he offend you? He punished you so harshly?"

Xiao Yanzhi scrutinized the emperor's expression carefully, then suddenly his expression changed slightly, he hesitated and said: "He, he offended my ministers in the street!"

The emperor's eyebrows jumped when he heard this: "How did he offend you?"

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Qin Fengming, as if he had been wronged a lot, and said angrily: "He, he...you let him speak for himself! Brother Huang and the others saw it, and he admitted it to himself just now at the gate of the Liyuan, don't believe me Father, you can just find someone to ask!"

This excuse was brought to the door by Qin Fengming himself, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it?

Qin Fengming, who was kneeling on the other side, was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Why did Xiao Yanzhi say this so casually?As a prince, what about his status?What about reputation?

However, even if they are both princes, Xiao Yanzhi is different from brothers Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian.

Leaving aside Xu Liqian, Xu Lishan is a person with great ambitions. He wants to inherit his father's business, so he must ensure both fame and fortune. For this reason, he must ensure that he has good conduct and good conduct, and must not damage the face of the royal family, nor be criticized by others. Everything he does is to gain the emperor's appreciation, and he will never let the emperor know about things that will lower the emperor's evaluation of him.

But Xiao Yanzhi was not afraid, he didn't want fame or profit, he didn't have to try to please the emperor, he didn't need to worry about the emperor's mood when he did anything, as long as it didn't hurt the emperor's interests, he just cared about his own happiness.Therefore, Xiao Yanzhi's mind is the most difficult to guess, and it is simply impossible to measure Xiao Yanzhi's bottom line with benefits.

The emperor's face turned cold, and he turned to look at Qin Fengming with glaring eyes: "Qin Fengming, what His Majesty said is true?"

Qin Fengming's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly thought something was wrong: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending the King of Shu, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"I didn't intend to offend, but I still offended you?" The emperor suddenly roared angrily, "Qin Fengming, I and your father are life and death friends, and I also treat you as my own child, and I cherish you as a talent. Considering that you are still young, it is inevitable You are so proud and arrogant, that's why you have been ignoring the petty fights between you and the second child. But now you have not only despised the majesty of the prince time and time again, but even colluded with wealthy businessmen to amass people's wealth. Did I indulge you too much? !"

As he spoke, the emperor smashed a box that had been in his hand to the ground.

It's not that he doesn't know about Da'an Square, it's just that neither he nor Pei Ze has been able to get the hard evidence, and it's hard for the blind cat to run into a dead mouse, and Qin Tai specially put the blame on his son and sent it to him In front of him, how could he not accept this love?

"Your Majesty, calm down! I was confused for a moment! I know I was wrong!" Qin Fengming gritted his teeth and kowtowed, feeling utterly annoyed.

They just miscalculated Xiao Yanzhi's reaction, and they stumbled so badly, Xiao Yanzhi is really doing well!

The emperor only glanced at Qin Fengming, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Kang, the descendant drafted an order, saying that the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple used his power for personal gain and committed crimes against the superiors.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Kang bowed to accept the order.

Qin Fengming was stunned and took a while to come back to his senses. He cried out loudly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, think twice! Your Majesty's birthday will be celebrated next month. All parties will come to congratulate you. I beg your Majesty to do your best!"

"No need. Someone, pull him down."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, Zhao Kang immediately recruited someone to drag the crying Qin Fengming away.

Qin Fengming was dragged away, but the emperor didn't speak again, Zhao Kang pondered for a while, exchanged a look with Xiao Yanzhi, and ordered the palace banquet to continue, but Qin Fengming made such a fuss, the banquet was not so festive.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yanzhi poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to the emperor, and said with a playful smile, "Father, how is your cooperation?"

The emperor turned his head to look at Xiao Yanzhi, and suddenly smiled: "Why do you dare to say anything? I see that sooner or later you will know what it means to speak out!"

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, then moved closer to the emperor, and asked in a low voice: "Father, is Qin Tai... hard to get rid of?"

"Difficult." The emperor also replied in a low voice, "Qin Tai and I overthrew the previous dynasty together, and they were born and died several times. The Qin family was originally a family in the Central Plains, with a prominent reputation. For the last four generations, they were officials in the court. There is no evil and sycophant, and counting the in-laws... Now half of the important positions in the Tang Dynasty are in the hands of the Qin family."

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes and asked, "Father doesn't have any confidants that can be used?"

The emperor chuckled helplessly, and said: "Most of my confidantes are military generals. They know how to fight, but sometimes I can't even figure out those open and secret fights in the court. They still have something to learn. They have been promoted in the past three years." The available people are still short of time. I am not in a hurry, take my time. Isn't this just waiting for the opportunity?"

If he wants to do it, he needs someone to cooperate with him. His two sons are only in their teens, and they have fought for several years to live and die together. Now they are taught by their mothers to only care about comparing and fighting each other. They are dumb to outsiders.I don't know what they were thinking, they were afraid that he would be like this, would it be possible that a father like him would still favor outsiders?

With no one to cooperate, he can only support the Qin family for the time being. Only by raising Qin Tai's heart can he seize more opportunities.

Xiao Yanzhi knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "It seems that my son came at a good time."

He, the only outsider, has disturbed a pool of spring water.Looking at Qin Tai's actions, it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.

The emperor smiled, acquiescing to Xiao Yanzhi's statement.

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyeballs and said with a flattering smile, "Then father and son have made meritorious service, is there any reward?"

Hearing this, the emperor smiled and glared at Xiao Yan, and said, "Are you still asking for a reward? My Shaoqing of Honglu Temple is gone, how can you compensate me?"

Xiao Yanzhi didn't take it seriously and said: "Is it still necessary to pay for this? You can just promote someone? It just happens to make up for one of your own."

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Promote casually? Honglu Temple is responsible for receiving foreign envoys. Qin Fengming is the only one who understands all the languages ​​of the Western Regions, and can also explain White Turkic and Uyghur. He also knows a few words of Dashi. Who do you want to make up for?"

"Eh..." Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, "Then why are you dismissing him now, father? How about waiting until next month?"

No wonder Qin Fengming is so arrogant, he really has two brushes.

"Wait?" The emperor rolled Xiao Yan's eyes, "Waiting for what? Waiting for him to collude with the foreign envoy to stab me?"

"Eh..." Xiao Yan was speechless, and looked at the emperor innocently.

The emperor smiled and said: "Anyway, this matter started because of you, and I will leave the matter of the stall in Honglu Temple to you."

"...Father, where can my son find you someone who knows this and that?"

The emperor smiled triumphantly and said, "What kind of books did you take away from the Hongwen Museum during this time?"

Don't think he won't say anything
