The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

It was another early morning, Xiao Yanzhi got up in a daze, watched Pei Ze escape from the scene of the accident through the window, washed and changed his clothes, and finally woke up completely. Someone from the hall came.

When Xiao Yanzhi walked out of the room, he saw Zhao Kang's little apprentice Baoquan standing in the yard with a flustered look on his face.

"Why did Baoquan come? Did the emperor have any orders?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Baoquan with a gentle smile.

After Bao Quan knelt down to pay respects to Xiao Yanzhi, he hesitated and said: "His Royal Highness, it is... It is His Majesty who is not in good health, and ordered to rest today."

"Xiu Chao?" Xiao Yanzhi's smile froze on his face, he looked at Baoquan in a daze, and then ran out.

Although we have not been together for a long time, Xiao Yanzhi can see clearly how diligent and dedicated the emperor is. If the emperor decides to suspend the court, there must be a big problem, and the security guard used the word "dragon body is not safe", This made Xiao Yan subconsciously think that the emperor was ill.

Running all the way to the apse of Liangyi Hall, Xiao Yanzhi broke into the emperor's bedroom without even waiting for the notification.

"Father!"

In the dormitory, the emperor had already woken up, and Zhao Kang was waiting behind the screen to change his clothes, when suddenly he heard someone knocking open his door, the emperor stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword hanging by the bed, and only after hearing the sound, did he know he was coming. It was Xiao Yanzhi.

After handing the sword to Zhao Kang, the emperor came out from behind the screen without even fastening his clothes, and looked at the flustered Xiao Yanzhi with a worried face: "Yanzhi, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Yanzhi stared at the emperor from head to toe in a daze, and asked with some confusion: "Father, are you... all right?"

"Zhen?" The emperor turned to look at Zhao Kang, and then at Xiao Yanzhi, "What can I do?"

"No... Didn't Baoquan say that you are not in good health and you want to rest?" Xiao Yanzhi couldn't react.

The emperor thought about it carefully, and finally figured out what was going on. He couldn't help laughing and said, "It's just an excuse. Yesterday Qin Tai howled here for a long time, and I should react."

"You..." Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi also understood, and immediately felt a little dumbfounded, so he sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief, "Father, you can't let Baoquan speak clearly! It's scary Dead son!"

The emperor smiled and said, "What? Do you really think I'm sick? You're usually very clever, why don't you understand now?"

Xiao Yan gave the emperor a sideways look angrily, and said, "I don't care to think about that!"

He came here early in the morning without giving a hint or foreshadowing. He suddenly heard the news, so how could he think so much!

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi completely lost his usual calm and calm appearance for the sake of his health, the emperor was moved and very happy, he stretched out his hand to Xiao Yanzhi with a smile, and said, "Don't sit on the floor, it's cold on the floor."

"My son's heart is getting cold, are you still afraid of the cold on the ground?"

The emperor grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm, pulled him up vigorously, and said with a smile, "What? I'm afraid something will happen to me, and no one will be your backer?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi glared at the emperor again, and said: "Father, if something happens to you, I will be able to go back to the south of the Yangtze River just now!"

"Okay, are you still angry? It's my fault, I said something wrong." The emperor turned his head again, and said to Zhao Kang cheerfully, "Look at this kid, he is neither big nor small in front of my eyes. And got angry with me."

Seeing that the emperor was happy, Zhao Kang also said with a smile: "Your Highness is really frightened. This old servant turned pale when he saw His Highness just came in."

"As timid as a rabbit," the emperor teased Xiao Yanzhi, "next time, think about things clearly, and don't scare yourself."

Seeing the emperor's proud appearance of being so good at being cheap, Xiao Yanzhi was so angry that his teeth itched, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, yes, the next time I hear such news, I will sit in the Wanchun Hall and wait until the imperial physician gives father Your Majesty has checked the pulse and found that you are sick, so I will come here again."

Hearing this, the emperor glared at Xiao Yan and said, "Why don't you come back after I'm dead?"

Xiao Yanzhi wanted to say that he wouldn't use it after the emperor died, but he endured it, and finally swallowed the words back.

"Is there any imperial doctor in the imperial medical office that the emperor can trust? Let someone call it."

"If there is no such person, then my emperor will be in vain." The emperor waved his hand, and Zhao Kang immediately went out to make arrangements.

Not long after, the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Office hurried to the Hall of Liangyi, and rushed into the emperor's bedroom in the Hall of Liangyi as if reincarnated, but when he looked around, he saw the emperor standing next to Xiao Yan refreshed. Chatting while having breakfast, the imperial doctor knew what was going on after thinking about it in his heart.

"Chen Zhong, please greet Your Majesty."

As soon as he heard Chen Zhong's voice, the emperor immediately put on a sickly look, and said weakly: "I just said that I'm fine, you have to work hard, and if you can't say it, go find Yanzhi, each of you can't help it." I found a way to cure me."

"I don't dare." Knowing that the emperor's words were just a formality, Zhao Kang knelt down in cooperation.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the emperor jokingly, and said cooperatingly, "Father, don't take your illness seriously. The imperial physicians in the imperial medical office are not reserved for watching. If you feel uncomfortable, why don't you think about it?" Asking someone to come over to give you a pulse diagnosis is just a matter of one sentence, and it won't tire you. You always think that this minor illness can be endured, but if it turns into a serious illness if you don't pay attention, you will suffer! Son! I don't know what kind of hero you are playing."

The emperor glared at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "What did I ask you to come back for? And I told you to keep it under control!"

Xiao Yanzhi snorted coldly and didn't speak.

The emperor sighed helplessly, moved his buttocks and sat down on the side of the couch, put his hands on the small table on the couch, and said to Chen Zhong: "Chen Taiyi come and show me, I must reassure your Highness."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Zhong stepped forward with his head down, took out the pulse diagnosis pad from the box he was carrying with him, put it under the emperor's wrist, and took the emperor's pulse.

After thinking decently for a while, Chen Zhong raised his eyes and glanced at the emperor.

The emperor smiled slightly, let out a long sigh, and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "Yesterday, not long after you left the Liangyi Hall, Qin Tai led Qin Fengming here, and he still has the face to ask me to take it back? His son is Son, my son isn’t a son anymore?! Does he think I don’t know what he’s been planning all these years? Does he think I don’t know what his son has done? I don’t know how much the second and third have been wronged Is it? I didn't say anything, because I regarded him as a brother, he was so good, he put his nose in the face! He talked about the friendship of life and death in front of me again and again, but I think he took this Friendship is the gold medal for avoiding death!"

Hearing this, Chen Zhong knew what diagnosis he should make to the emperor, and at the same time, he also knew that the words were the task given to him by the emperor, and he had to make up a story based on what the emperor said to publicize it.

Withdrawing his hand and putting away the pulse diagnosis pad, Chen Zhong silently began to write the prescription.

When the emperor saw it, he shut his mouth.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Chen Zhong, and asked: "Physician Chen, is your father sick?"

Chen Zhong wrote while replying: "Returning to His Majesty, His Majesty is just depressed and angry. I will prescribe a prescription for His Majesty to rectify. I dare you to talk to Your Majesty more, so as to relieve His Majesty's heart." Depressed."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhong handed the written prescription to Zhao Kang.

Xiao Yanzhi said politely, "Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen."

"Your Highness is being polite."

After Zhao Kang sent Chen Zhong away, he went to the front hall, where there were all the mighty officials waiting to go to court. Zhao Kang originally wanted to wait for the emperor to wash and change his clothes and have breakfast before going to the front hall, but since Xiao In other words, there is no need for him to watch these things.

When the civil and military ministers waiting in the east and west halls heard Zhao Kang say that the emperor's dragon body was not in good health and would have to rest for a day, they immediately had their own calculations in their minds.

They have all heard about the fact that Qin Fengming and the eldest prince had formed a relationship. They reported to Qin Tai yesterday morning that they knew that the emperor had the upper hand in this matter. There are people who have nothing to do with them. They just want to wait and see what happens. , and those who had obviously taken refuge in Qin Tai couldn't sit still, especially when they knew that Qin Tai entered the palace yesterday to plead guilty but failed to get Qin Feng Mingguan back to his post, they were even more anxious.

Originally, they thought that they would join forces in the court today to make peace between the emperor and Qin Tai, but now even the emperor is sick and wants to leave the court, who are they going to ask for mercy?

Someone moved his mind and approached Zhao Kang and asked in a low voice: "Master Zhao, I have something I want to talk to the King of Shu. Can I trouble Master Zhao to clear it up?"

As he said that, the man took out a bag of money from his sleeve pocket and secretly stuffed it to Zhao Kang.

Zhao Kang took a quick step back.

With a slight smile, Zhao Kangwei wondered: "Oh, what's wrong with this! It's fine for this lord to see His Highness, but... but at the moment His Highness is waiting in front of His Majesty, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get away. If the lord is not in a hurry, then the old slave may be able to give the lord a message, but if he is in a hurry...then the old slave has no choice. Or, my lord, you can go to Wanchun Palace?"

"No need!" The man quickly shook his head and waved his hands and refused, "There is nothing important to say. I have delayed Mr. Zhao, so farewell, farewell."

Zhao Kang looked at the back of the man leaving in a hurry, and sneered.

They all assume that their highness is from the countryside, so they don’t understand anything, right?Do you think their Highness is innocent, kind and easy to deceive?snort!Eyes but no eyes!

After collecting the memorials brought by the ministers and watching all the officials leave, Zhao Kangcai and Bao Quan went back to Liangyi Hall with a stack of papers each.

In the Hall of Liangyi, after Zhao Kang left, Pei Ze, Xu Lishan, and Xu Liqian rushed to the Hall of Liangyi after hearing the news, but they came, but the emperor blocked the door and refused to let them in.

In the dormitory, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the emperor's expression, and then said with a smile: "Why is the father still angry? My son came quickly, that's because my son got the message of preservation first, and my son's Wanchun Palace came again." It's the closest to the Liangyi Hall, counting the time, it's not too late for brother Yi and the two imperial brothers to come, so why don't you let them wash their faces and change their clothes, Father?"

The emperor turned a deaf ear to Xiao Yanzhi's words, and didn't even look at Xiao Yan, let alone reply.

The emperor was angry, even though he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian's actions in the past, but today there was Xiao Yanzhi for comparison, and now looking at Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian, the emperor was angry at what he thought.

They are both sons, and they also heard that he was sick. One of them ran over in a hurry and broke into the door of his room on the charge of trespassing, in order to confirm him earlier. Whether it's safe or not, these two are good, let's not talk about whether they rushed over as soon as they received the news, just looking at their calm figures reflected on the door, it can be seen that they are not really worried about his father's body situation.

Maybe it's worrying too, but not so much.

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, and said again: "Isn't it just like that in the palace, father, why are you so narrow-minded? This is not an emperor's bearing."

Shouldn't the emperor have seen these things clearly?What do you still care about now?

"Why are you talking so much?!" The emperor gave Xiao Yan a hard look.

Glancing at the three people who were still standing outside the door, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Father, if you don't see them, please tell them to leave quickly. They are all busy, so don't bother them." .”

Yesterday, Pei Ze was so tired that he fell asleep on the bed. It was the first time since the two shared the bed that Pei Ze fell asleep before him.As a result, he didn't have to wake up early today, and he felt tired just looking at it.

"Do you still feel sorry for them?" The emperor snorted coldly.

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, stood up and walked towards the door.

"What are you doing? Sit down for me!"

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and gave the emperor a white look, and said, "Father, don't you be unreasonable?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi opened the door, and when he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi's people had already stepped out of the room, and even closed the door smoothly.

"Xiao Yanzhi!" The emperor stared angrily.

Xiao Yanzhi is such a brat, he can't be more obedient than a cup of tea, and he will be angry with him when he turns around!Is the father or the brother important? !

The three of Pei Ze outside the room only heard the emperor's roar, and their hearts trembled immediately, so when they saw Xiao Yanzhi coming out, they all looked at Xiao Yanzhi nervously.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm and asked nervously.

Xiao Yanzhi said indifferently: "It's nothing, Father is losing his temper."

"Troublesome?" Xu Liqian looked at Xiao Yanzhi blankly.

"You don't have to worry about this," Xiao Yanzhi waved his hand, and then said, "The imperial doctor just came to see him, and said that the father was depressed and angry, and he was probably angry. It's just a little dizzy and I can't get out of bed."

"Father is fine." Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian both heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Liqian said again: "As soon as I heard from Baoquan that my father was unwell, I rushed over here in a hurry. I was shocked by my father's refusal to see anyone, but it turned out that there was a elder brother looking inside."

Xiao Yanzhi nodded and smiled: "My place is closer to Father's place, and I can arrive earlier than you. I will watch over Father's side. If necessary, I will send someone to invite Concubine Jiang over here. Let me see You have been busy since yesterday, if you have nothing to do now, go back and rest, and if you have something to do, go to work."

"Then..." Xu Lishan hesitated, "Don't we really need to see the emperor?"

It's not good to come to visit and see no one, is it?

Xiao Yanzhi glanced into the room when he heard the words, and said, "Otherwise, if you have time, come over during lunch."

"This matter... Brother Da Huang, does it matter?" Xu Liqian raised his chin, asking Xiao Yanzhi if he really didn't need to ask the emperor's opinion.

"What I said doesn't count," Xiao Yanzhi shook his head resolutely, "The third brother doesn't have to come."

Xu Liqian was choked and touched his nose embarrassedly.

Xu Lishan and Pei Ze looked at each other, and said: "Since this is the case, father, please ask the big brother to take a look. I will come over to have a look at lunch with my brother-in-law. Thank you, big brother."

Xu Liqian hurriedly said, "I'll come too."

"Well, then go ahead." Xiao Yanzhi nodded.

Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian exchanged some polite words with Xiao Yanzhi, and then walked out step by step.

Pei Ze had already followed for a few steps, but turned back.

"Are you alright by yourself?"

Xiao Yan was stunned, then smiled and said: "If I say there is a problem, can Brother Yi help me?"

"Help." Pei Ze's decisive answer surprised Xiao Yanzhi.

Looking blankly at Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Come on, you're too busy with other things, what do you care about me? Don't worry, although I haven't taken care of the old man, But good at taking care of kids."

Pei Ze looked carefully at Xiao Yanzhi again, then nodded, and said, "If you need anything, go to Daji Hall to find Xu Ren, he knows where to find me."

"it is good."

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi nod in response, Pei Ze left with peace of mind.

After watching the three of Pei Ze leave, Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth.He turned around and went back to the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor was sitting on the couch, looking at Xiao Yanzhi coldly.

"Father, it's useless for you to stare at me," Xiao Yanzhi shrugged, walked to the side of the emperor and sat down, regardless of whether he was big or small, "The three of them have always been doing this, Father, you can't just because you have Aren't they too pitiful if they count what they do right as wrong for the sake of comparison?"

"Unreasonable!" After glancing at Xiao Yan again, the emperor's anger has subsided a little.

He also knows that things that were once within reach have gradually become extravagant hopes, and many things that were once held in his hands are now beyond his reach. Feeling cold.

Xiao Yanzhi chuckled, and said again: "Besides, if they are all like sons and servants, how much anger will you have to suffer a day, father?"

These words made the emperor amused: "You are quite self-aware, don't you?"

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, and said with a flattering smile, "Father, you are too pleased."

"I didn't praise you!"

From this day on, the emperor has been ill all the time, but he only rested for one day in the early court. After the emperor woke up every morning, he would ask Zhao Kang to apply some lead powder on his face, which made him look paler. He coughed a few times from time to time, and whenever he saw Qin Tai or talked about Qin Tai, he showed a cold but secretly sad expression.

In addition, the imperial physician Chen Zhong had compiled the touching stories of the grievances and grievances between the emperor and Qin Tai into a touching story and spread them out. Originally, there were some ministers who wanted to say something nice to Qin Tai, but upon hearing Qin Tai's honeyed sword in this story, Even suspected of treachery, they swallowed back what they were going to say, and when they heard from the population that Qin Fengming had colluded with wealthy Chang'an businessmen to amass money wantonly, the court was in an uproar.

How could Qin Tai not know what Qin Fengming did?Qin Fengming was able to make such a big deal, how could it be possible without Qin Tai's acquiescence?Qin Fengming's matter was kept secret and no one in Chang'an knew about it, so how could it be possible without Qin Tai's protection?If it hadn't been broken by the eldest prince, how long would Qin Fengming have kept this matter a secret?Thanks to Qin Tai's appearance of being a gentleman in front of his colleagues, and thanks to the loyalty of the Qin family for generations, how could Qin Tai be worthy of his grandfather?

It's a pity that most of them have been favored by the Qin family, and it is impossible for them to break their promises and take over the Qin family together with the emperor.They will not take this muddy water trip. For the time being, let's just watch the fire from the other side and see what the Qin family's wife's attitude is.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor proposed in the court hall that Xiao Yanzhi should study in Honglu Temple.

The emperor's words were coincidental. What he said was to let Xiao Yanzhi learn, not to manage, so even if anyone felt that Xiao Yanzhi was not capable enough, he would not be able to refute it, because the emperor knew that Xiao Yanzhi was not capable enough, so he sent Xiao Yanzhi In other words, I went to Honglu Temple to study.But a prince entered Honglu Temple, and he said a word, as long as it was not outrageously wrong, would anyone in Honghe Temple dare not listen?

Tolerated and compromised for many years, the emperor was able to completely turn against Qin Tai overnight because of Xiao Yanzhi's matter. This incident made the officials see clearly the emperor's preference for Xiao Yanzhi. To offend Xiao Yanzhi?Those who used to think of Xiao Yanzhi as ignorant and ignorant like Qin Tai and wanted to manipulate him to seek high positions and powers also put their plans on hold, and secretly rejoiced that there was another Qin Tai who was more impatient than them, otherwise the unlucky one at this time would be themselves.

But the emperor's preference also made more people want to cling to Xiao Yanzhi.

The court battles are changing rapidly, if there is no member of the royal family to rely on, their road ahead will be bumpy, and there is almost no hope.And Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian have the help of their mothers behind them. Even if the others cling to them, they are just running errands for others. Only the eldest prince Xiao Yanzhi is alone and helpless. The reason why many people stared at him when he returned to Chang'an was that no one looked down on Xiao Yanzhi back then, but now no one dared to look down on him.

Xiao Yanzhi also clearly felt that since the emperor mentioned in the early court that he would be sent to Honglu Temple, he had suddenly become very popular. Every day when he went back and forth in the palace, he would meet many people who came to talk to him. Some of them he had seen in the morning, and some he had never seen before, Xiao Yanzhi was really curious about where they came from.

And after actually going to Honglu Temple, Xiao Yanzhi knew that the emperor had dug a big hole for him to jump into. It was agreed that Qin Fengming was dismissed, so he was asked to replace Qin Fengming's original job, so as to protect the emperor's birthday party. Can receive foreign envoys smoothly.

Xiao Yanzhi thought that this matter was initiated by him, and it was reasonable for him to be responsible, but after Xiao Yanzhi went to Honglu Temple to report, he found out that Honglu Temple received foreign envoys [-]% of the time. It is related to the Ministry of Rites, that is to say, for the emperor's birthday banquet this time, besides walking around Honglu Temple, Xiao Yanzhi also counts half of the Ministry of Rites.

What's more terrible is that Xiao Yanzhi, the eldest son of the emperor, stopped there. No matter whether it was a small official of Honglu Temple or an official of the Ministry of Rites, they all looked at him as if they were waiting for orders. Except for the matters related to the emperor's birthday banquet, other matters He even wanted to ask Xiao Yanzhi about it.

A few days later, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly realized, where did he go to study?It is clear that they took over Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites at the same time!

No wonder the emperor was so kind and allowed him not to go to the Hongwen Hall to listen to Ji Wencheng's lectures for the time being. He has taken over the two departments, so how can he have time to go to the Hongwen Hall? !

The most exasperating thing was that when Xiao Yanzhi went to complain to the emperor, the emperor actually pretended to be stupid with a proud face, making Xiao Yanzhi's teeth itch with hatred.

At the end of August, Xiu Nu entered the palace to be selected. The work of Pei Ze, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian to maintain the law and order of Chang'an was finally completed, but Xiao Yanzhi's work had just begun.

At night, when Pei Ze came to Wanchun Palace, Xiao Yanzhi was lying on the couch and pretending to be dead. When he heard the sound of Pei Ze closing the window, he only rolled his eyes, but he didn't even see the corner of Pei Ze's clothes. , Xiao Yanzhi withdrew his gaze.

He really didn't even have the strength to move his eyes.

Pei Ze looked at the motionless Xiao Yanzhi with a funny face, and asked, "Didn't you go to replace Qin Fengming? Why are you so tired?"

"I was cheated..." Xiao Yanzhi said aggrievedly, "Father is a liar..."

Pei Ze smiled and said, "You should have thought of it when His Majesty asked you to go."

"I thought about it," Xiao Yanzhi said bitterly, "but I didn't expect him to give me two at once...Did the second emperor say anything?"

Pei Ze shook his head and said, "What can he say? Get up quickly, there are more things to do tomorrow, why don't you hurry up and sleep?"

Xiao Yanzhi rolled his eyes to look at Pei Ze, and said in a low voice, "I can't get up."

Pei Ze shook his head and laughed: "Since you have no strength, why don't you just go to bed and lie down?"

"It's exhausting walking from the door to the bed."

Pei Ze turned his head and looked at the bed, then at the door, but was speechless.

Shaking his head, Pei Ze bent down and hugged Xiao Yanzhi, then turned and walked towards the bed.

Xiao Yanzhi grinned, and said, "It's better to be brother Yi."

Pei Ze rolled his eyes at Xiao Yan.

Lying on the bed, Xiao Yanzhi rolled to Pei Ze's side again, blinked at Pei Ze and asked, "Brother Yi, are my siblings here yet?"

Hearing this, Pei Ze's eyes flashed, and he replied, "No, take them slowly. We should arrive in three to five days."

It was indeed slow to drive three people in a carriage, but it shouldn't have been so slow in the first place, but besides the people he sent, there were still several groups of people looking for Xiao Yanzhi's younger siblings.

When his people rushed to Jiangnan to find the Xiao family brothers and sisters, they heard that someone had already gone to them. Fortunately, there was a letter written by Xiao Yanzhi, otherwise his people really couldn't take the Xiao family brothers and sisters away.

But people took them away, and they also brought a few tails with them. Just to get rid of these tails, they took a long detour, which delayed the trip.

He originally wanted the brothers and sisters of the Xiao family to come to Beijing with the previous batch of beautiful girls, so that it would not be easy to be noticed, but he didn't expect that things would be more troublesome than he imagined.

When he first found Xiao Yanzhi, a country boy in the south of the Yangtze River, he knew that someone would want to use the Xiao family brothers and sisters to control Xiao Yanzhi. After all, everyone knew that the eldest son of the emperor grew up in the countryside without any education. The poor boy in the country is the least intimidating and the best to use, not to mention that he has younger brothers and sisters, maybe just a few words can make him his own puppet.

If he had known that it would become so troublesome in the end, he should have brought Xiao Yanzhi's younger siblings back to Beijing.

Thinking of this, Pei Ze suddenly thought of a question.

Xiao Yanzhi obviously grew up in the countryside, but why doesn't he look like a countryman at all?

Pei Ze wanted to ask Xiao Yanzhi, but when he tilted his head, he found that Xiao Yanzhi had fallen asleep again.

Every time he falls asleep so fast, it's boring for him to think about things by himself.

Xiao Yanzhi, who was already asleep, didn't know Pei Ze's depression, and it wasn't until the next morning that Xiao Yanzhi understood what Pei Ze meant by "there will be more things tomorrow" that night.

These days, he was so confused by the affairs of Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites that he forgot that after those beautiful women entered the palace, he would also choose concubines along with them.

Sitting with the emperor in a certain viewing pavilion in the imperial garden, Xiao Yanzhi almost collapsed when he saw a group of beautiful women slowly approaching from far to near.

"Father, today doesn't seem to be the day to select a beautiful girl?"

Xiao Yanzhi withdrew his eyes from the group of beautiful girls, and when he turned his head, he saw that Pei Ze was also not interested. Xu Lishan seemed to want to show that he was not interested, but the shining eyes betrayed him. It is much more direct, and you can see as far as you can stretch your neck.

"You remember this." The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said with a chuckle, "Today I just took you to have a look. If you like it, you can tell me now, so that you don't have to wait until later." Something went wrong."

"Oh."

Is it because he is afraid that the woman his son likes will be selected into the harem?Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips, turned his head to face the group of beautiful girls, and began to let go.

Although he wasn't interested, if he didn't put on a show, the emperor probably wouldn't let him go.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Yanzhi felt that he was about to fall asleep, but he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and looked at Pei Ze with hazy eyes: "What's wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's appearance about to fall asleep, Pei Ze looked helpless: "Your Majesty is calling you."

"En? Oh." Xiao Yanzhi turned to the emperor again, "Father called me?"

The emperor looked at Xiao Yanzhi's appearance of just waking up from a big dream, and he was neither smiling nor angry.

"What did I call you here for?"

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "Kerchen doesn't even like it, so what do you think father should do?"

"Don't like them?" The emperor frowned, "What do you think is wrong with them?"

Those who can pass the primary election and enter the palace are all beautiful-looking and have a good family background. The third child just chatted out a few favorites, and the second child seems to like it too. How come you don’t like him anymore?

Xiao Yanzhi thought for a while, and said: "I think they are not good anywhere."

The most important thing is that the gender is wrong. How can he fall in love with someone with a different gender?

"Then what are you looking for?" the emperor asked again.

"Hmm..." Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, and then said, "Just look at him."

"What kind of things can catch your eye?"

"Just... you can catch your eye." Xiao Yan looked at the emperor innocently, "Father, even if you ask me, I won't be able to answer you. I won't feel moved when I look at them. .”

The emperor frowned even tighter: "How do you want to be moved?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yanzhi replied perfunctorily, "Is it the kind of heartbeat that will speed up after seeing each other for the first time?"

Ask him what is heartbeat?He just remembered what a commotion was.

The corner of the emperor's eyes twitched, and he said coldly, "Run around the pavilion for ten laps before you meet them, I'm sure everyone's heart will beat faster!"

The three of Pei Ze laughed when they heard the emperor's words, and Xiao Yanzhi could only shrug helplessly.

The emperor shook his head and sighed, stood up, and said to Xiao Yanzhi: "If you don't like it, you don't have it. There are not only these beautiful women entering the palace. I will ask Concubine Jiang about the arrangements for these beautiful women tomorrow. I’ll take you to find another place to continue watching.”

Hearing these words, Xiao Yanzhi was stunned for a while, and thought over the emperor's words again, Xiao Yanzhi twitched his lips and asked, "Father, are we peeking today?"

"What peeking!" The emperor turned his head and glared at Xiao Yanzhi, "I just found a place where they won't notice. If I let them know that you are all there, can they still show their true nature?"

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "They are all in the palace? What kind of true temperament can they have?"

The emperor lowered his eyes when he heard the words, and sighed after a while: "They have just entered the palace, no matter how smart they are, they are still just children."

Jiang Wan was not what he is now.

"It's a child, you still... ouch!" Xiao Yanzhi finally closed his mouth after being kicked in the calf.

Pei Ze, who kicked Xiao Yanzhi, bowed his hands to the emperor as if nothing had happened, and said, "Your Majesty, there are still some matters to be dealt with in the Chen Yu Forest Guard, please excuse me first."

The emperor pointed at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "Take him away too. He doesn't have to go to Honglu Temple today. You take him to the Yulin Guards. Don't tell him to be idle. He will come and give you a visit as soon as he is free." I'm blocking you!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I will take my leave."

Xiao Yanzhi, who was expelled by the way, also bowed to the emperor: "I will take my leave."

How did he make things difficult for the emperor?This is clearly the emperor's own embarrassment. If the emperor hadn't asked him to choose a concubine, why would he talk so much nonsense?He still thinks he is tired of talking too much!

Looking at the backs of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi walking away side by side, the emperor sighed: "It's really like one thing descends one thing."

In other words, this unscrupulous boy can be quieter by Pei Ze's side.Should he also ask Pei Ze how to treat that kid?

Thinking of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, the emperor looked at Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian who were still standing beside him.

After pondering for a while, the emperor said, "Do you two have something to do? If not, why not have lunch with me."

Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian looked at each other, and they both cupped their hands and said: "Thank you, Father."

Seeing Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian obeying the etiquette of emperor and minister, the emperor sighed in his heart.

If it was true, he would not have answered so unfamiliarly.That kid is not afraid of him at all, he can say whatever he wants in front of him, he can do whatever he wants, within less than a month of entering the palace, the number of times he has disobeyed him is beyond counting on both hands.

However, it is this child who has not received half of his care for more than [-] years in his life. It is this seemingly heartless and lawless child who treats him most sincerely. He is getting more and more divided.

Leading Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian to the Liangyi Hall, the emperor was in a complicated mood.

On the other hand, after Pei Ze took Xiao Yanzhi away, he was not in a hurry to go to the Habayashi Guard, but walked side by side with Xiao Yanzhi on the boundary of the harem.

"In front of His Majesty, you can't say a few words less? How dare you say anything?" Thinking that Xiao Yanzhi would have said even more outrageous things if he hadn't stopped him, Pei Ze felt his heart beating faster and was so frightened. .

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't say everything, I won't say anything that must never be said."

He's not stupid, it's nothing more than playing with the emperor to add some fun to the father-son relationship, but can he still get himself killed?Moreover, he seemed to like the style of the emperor, and the emperor seemed to enjoy it when he got angry every day.Doesn't it mean that the more he annoys the emperor, the better the emperor treats him?As long as he doesn't violate the emperor's bottom line, he should be fine.

"Say less of what you can say!" Pei Ze glared at Xiao Yan, "He is your father, but he is still the emperor after all."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled nonchalantly, "It's enough for you to treat him as the emperor."

Pei Ze asked: "Are you always so indifferent when you are with His Majesty?"

Xiao Yanzhi nodded: "Well, this is always the case when there is nothing serious to talk about."

Pei Ze rubbed his forehead, secretly thinking that the heart of a king is unpredictable, how come after talking about the rules for a few years, it's easy to say that there are no rules?

"Forget it, as long as you know what's in your mind."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled evilly, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hook Pei Ze's neck, leaned forward and laughed and said, "What? Brother Yi is worried about me?"

Pei Ze squinted Xiao Yan's eyes, and said, "From the time you entered the palace, I'm not worried about you someday?"

Xiao Yanzhi thought about it carefully, and felt that this was really the case.

So Xiao Yanzhi said cheekily again: "Anyway, Brother Yi took me back to the palace, and Brother Yi will be responsible to the end."

Hearing this, Pei Ze rolled Xiao Yan's eyes hard: "Do you want me to be responsible for your life as well?"
