The prince is not doing his job [traveling]
Chapter 52
After hearing Pei Ze's words, Xiao Yanzhi also pinched his waist: "I don't think so, how did you feel it?"
Pei Ze just wanted to say that he touches it several times a day, how could he not be able to tell the difference?But when he saw Feng Yuan's playful smile out of the corner of his eyes, Pei Ze shut his mouth.
Although he didn't get an answer, looking at Pei Ze's expression, Xiao Yanzhi probably guessed what Pei Ze hadn't said. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and Xiao Yanzhi asked, "Can you take off this clothes?"
"...Take it off." Pei Ze helped Xiao Yanzhi untie his clothes.
The last piece of thick clothes was also taken off, Xiao Yanzhi shivered, turned his head and plunged into Pei Ze's arms: "It's so cold!"
Pei Ze frowned, turned to look at Feng Yuan who had been watching quietly, and urged, "Quickly measure."
Feng Yuan shrugged.
It's not that he was dawdling for a long time, he just didn't urge him.
"Then, please cooperate with the King of Shu." The King of Shu hugged Pei Ze like this and did not let go. How would he measure it?
Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, let go of Pei Ze as if he had made a lot of determination, turned around and stood straight in front of Feng Yuan, with his hands outstretched.
Seeing this, Feng Yuan immediately pulled a rope at hand, swiftly measured all parts of Xiao Yanzhi's body, and measured them all within the time of a cup of tea.
"Come on, the king of Shu can put on his clothes, but don't catch a cold and get sick here." Feng Yuan turned around and recorded the data he had just measured on the paper.
As soon as Feng Yuan finished speaking, Pei Ze picked up a piece of clothing and covered Xiao Yanzhi completely.
Xiao Yanzhi looked at Feng Yuan with some surprise, and while getting dressed with Pei Ze's help, he asked, "Why did you join the army?"
Feng Yuan's proficiency cannot be achieved in three years. If Feng Yuan really only worked as a tailor for three years, then he can only say that this person was born to be a tailor.Since he has the skills to make a living, why did he risk his life to join the army?
Feng Yuan didn't take it seriously and said: "My ancestors were all tailors. I met Pei Ze back then and thought it would be interesting to fight, so I followed him. It's better to say that I followed him than I joined the army. It's a pity that he abandoned me after he limped."
Knowing that Feng Yuan was joking, Pei Ze found it unpleasant no matter how he heard it, so he kicked Feng Yuan unceremoniously.
Feng Yuan did not dodge for a while, and patted off the footprints on his body indifferently. Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi's clothes were all put on, Feng Yuan led the two of them out of the hut.
"Does the King of Shu have any preference for clothes?"
Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "No."
"How many sets do you need?" Feng Yuan looked at Pei Ze and then at Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi also looked at Pei Ze when he heard the words.
This kind of thing is naturally the person who pays the final say.
Pei Ze took Xiao Yanzhi's hand and walked out, saying as he walked, "Whatever, send it to Prince Wucheng's residence when it's done."
Hearing this, Feng Yuan was taken aback for another moment, and then thought to himself that Pei Ze really liked Xiao Yanzhi very much. After all, even the second prince Xu Lishan had never entered the backyard of Prince Wucheng's mansion, but now it is Let the king of Shu live in it.
"You're leaving now?"
Pei Ze turned around and looked at Feng Yuan suspiciously: "Do you have anything else to do?"
Feng Yuan sighed and said sadly: "You really have new people and forget the old ones. I have been by your side for so many years, can't you care about me a little more?"
Ignoring Feng Yuan's teasing, Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi and walked out.
As soon as the door was opened, Pei Ze saw snowflakes flying outside.
"It's snowing, put on your hat." As he said this, Pei Ze turned around and pulled up the hood of Xiao Yanzhi's fur cloak with his own hands. After covering Xiao Yanzhi tightly, Pei Ze suddenly He remembered what Feng Yuan said when they entered the door.
Not to mention, after wearing this cloak, Xiao Yanzhi really looked like some kind of fluffy animal.
"Is it snowing?" Xiao Yanzhi happily looked out.
"Is it cold?" Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi's hat forward again, almost covering half of Xiao Yanzhi's face.
Seeing that these two people were blocking his door and watching the snow come, Feng Yuan couldn't help coughing twice.
"I said... it just snowed, and it will be a little warmer outside, do you want to go for a walk?"
Although he probably guessed Pei Ze's love for Xiao Yanzhi when he heard what Pei Ze said, but this level of love is really unbearable. Poor health.
Hearing this, Pei Ze's eyes lit up, he glanced at Feng Yuan approvingly, and asked Xiao Yanzhi, "Do you want to take a walk?"
Xiao Yanzhi looked at the large snowflakes flying all over the sky, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.
Pei Ze smiled, and then said to Feng Yuan: "Let's go, hurry up and make the clothes."
"Yes, yes," Feng Yuan nodded helplessly, "the King of Shu must not be frozen."
Pei Ze nodded, and then led Xiao Yanzhi out.
Looking at the backs of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi leaving together, a trace of worry appeared in Feng Yuan's eyes.
He has been with Pei Ze for six or seven years, and he has witnessed how Pei Ze has changed from an upright boy to what he is now, especially in recent years, Pei Ze's parents have left one after another, and he has been treating Pei Ze with his own eyes. The uncle who took care of Youjia suddenly became the lord of a country, and the brother who grew up with him also became a master-servant relationship overnight, and his friends who fought side by side were all dismissed because of the emperor's fear. All over the country, in just a few days, almost everyone around Pei Ze left. If he hadn't been discharged in time because of his leg injury, he might not have been able to stay in Chang'an City.
Seeing that the young man who once vowed to defend his family and country has gradually turned into a taciturn person who does not expect anything, he hopes from the bottom of his heart that Pei Ze will meet someone who can regain his ambition, but he did not expect Pei Ze The person that Ze found with great difficulty was actually the king of Shu in the current dynasty, a prince.
Pei Ze's whole life has really been planted in the hands of the royal family. I only hope that the king of Shu who grew up among the people will not disappoint Pei Ze's wishes.
A snowflake hit his face with the wind, Feng Yuan shivered, closed the door of the shop and turned back to the house.
He doesn't have much business in this shop, and the people who come to cheer are old acquaintances from the past. Since there is already business today, it is better to make clothes for the king of Shu instead of opening the door to the cold.
On the other side, Pei Ze led Xiao Yanzhi to walk in the alleys of Chang'an City. Fortunately, there was a cloak blocking it, so no one could see their clasped hands.Kong Qing and Zhang Shaosheng followed behind in a carriage.
"You have a good relationship with him." Xiao Yanzhi raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the flying snow all over the sky in a good mood, and suddenly spoke without warning.
Pei Ze was stunned for a moment before he realized that the "he" in Xiao Yanzhi's mouth was referring to Feng Yuan.
"Not bad?" Pei Ze smiled, "Ordinary."
Did Xiao Yanzhi care about Feng Yuan's teasing words?
Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Pei Ze, and said, "I thought you wouldn't tell anyone about my relationship with you."
"If possible, I really want to tell the world." Pei Ze looked regretful, "Unfortunately, I can only tell him."
If he could tell the world that Xiao Yanzhi was already in possession, how much less worry would he have to worry about.
"So trust him?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Ze.
Pei Ze also glanced at Xiao Yan, then nodded: "En."
Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips and stopped talking.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi had nothing to say, Pei Ze asked, "That's all you want to ask?"
"En?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze in a daze, "En, that's all."
Should he ask something else?
"Then it's my turn to ask." Pei Ze glanced back, and then asked, "What's your relationship with Zhang Shaosheng?"
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi was stunned. He blinked at Pei Ze, then turned his head and glanced at Zhang Shaosheng secretly, "I grew up together, just like you and Xu Lishan."
Pei Ze snorted coldly, and said, "I never thought about marrying Xu Lishan."
Xiao Yanzhi couldn't react to this nonsensical sentence, so he subconsciously replied, "I never thought about marrying Zhang Shaosheng..."
"You really haven't thought about it?" Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously.
Xiao Yanzhi said that he knew that he liked men since he was sensible, and according to Xiao Yanzhi's personality, he would just go with the flow and never think about changing his uniqueness. In other words, in the past twenty years, who has he never liked?
"No..." Shaking his head blankly, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly remembered what Xiao Junmeng said when he came to Chang'an on the first day, and couldn't help laughing, "Why do you still remember what Junmeng said?"
Pei Ze gouged out Xiao Yan's eyes and said, "I have a good memory."
Xiao Yanzhi jokingly said: "What? King Wu Cheng is so narrow-minded, would he care about other people's past?"
Pei Ze held Xiao Yanzhi's hand tightly, and said, "Other people's past has nothing to do with me, yours, I don't mind."
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, his cheeks flushed slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "It's useless if you mind, it's all in the past..."
Pei Ze's eyes darkened, and he said in a cold voice, "It seems that something happened in your past that I should care about."
"Eh?" Xiao Yan was startled, and when he turned around and saw Pei Ze's face darken, he quickly shook his head and said, "No! Nothing at all! I mean even if there was, it's all in the past, you Don't mind. But really not!"
"Is there nothing unclear about it?" Pei Ze squinted at Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi carefully recalled his past life, shook his head and said, "No, no."
Shouldn't there be?In the past few years, he had been taking care of his younger siblings wholeheartedly, but he didn't remember ever teasing anyone... Probably not.
Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's eyes start to wander, Pei Ze snorted heavily: "Where's that Liu Jun?"
Xiao Yanzhi groaned in his heart.
How could Pei Ze still remember Liu Jun?Fortunately, they didn't run into each other in that small town in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise Pei Ze would remember more people at this time.
"Liu Jun is just a younger brother." Xiao Yanzhi explained with a flattering smile.
"Brother?" Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, "He is in Bianzhou, you are in Jiangnan, his surname is Liu, your surname is Xiao, brother?"
Thinking that this matter was really unclear, Xiao Yanzhi became furious and kicked Pei Ze, "You still have the nerve to talk about me? There are no fewer people around you!"
Pei Zeli said bluntly: "I don't treat them that well."
Who is there with him?Besides Xu Lishan, who else would make Xiao Yanzhi mind?He is not Xiao Yanzhi's kind of person who greets everyone with a smile and is kind to everyone, and he has not provoked so many bees and butterflies.
"Don't treat them that well?" Xiao Yanzhi stared at Pei Ze, "Then it's better?"
Pei Ze laughed suddenly, looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "Compared with you, how can I treat them better? Now I really put all my heart on you, and I don't care about other things. .”
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth: "I know that... isn't it all your topic?"
Pei Ze smiled and said, "Is it me? Who asked first?"
"Then...then I'll ask, can't I ask?" Xiao Yanzhi glared at Pei Ze with a blushing face.
He didn't ask because he was jealous.He will see those friends of Pei Ze in the future. Feng Yuan is in Chang'an City, so the number of meetings will definitely not be less. He just wants to know what kind of existence Feng Yuan is to Pei Ze, and then think about himself according to Pei Ze's answer. How should I treat Feng Yuan, but why did the words change after Pei Ze heard them?
"Yes." Pei Ze smiled, and suddenly raised his hand to touch Xiao Yanzhi's cheek, "Your face is flushed, is it from cold or from anger?"
Xiao Yanzhi also raised his hand to touch his face, only to feel the coldness under his palm: "It must be cold."
He wasn't angry again.
"Go back to the car." Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi around and walked back, "Don't really catch a cold."
Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and followed Pei Ze back to the carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, Xiao Yanzhi automatically nestled into Pei Ze's arms.
This place is still the warmest, much better than hand stoves!
After buying two steamed cakes at the stall at Fangkou, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi went back to Wucheng Palace. As soon as they entered, Pei Ze asked Li An to cook two bowls of ginger soup, while Xiao Yanzhi Immediately leaned to the brazier and squatted down to warm up.
Pei Ze frowned, stretched out his hand and lifted Xiao Yanzhi up: "Don't go to the brazier as soon as you come back."
He is not afraid of frostbite.
"It's cold..." Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze pitifully.
Li An immediately said: "The bed is already hot, the prince should go to the bed to warm up, the ginger soup will be ready in a while, and when it is ready, the subordinates will send it to the prince."
The king of Shu has been like this since the beginning of winter. Every time he comes back from the outside, he shouts that he is cold, even if there is a brazier in the house, the prince has no choice but to let the king of Shu sleep in a warm bed every day, anyway. There is no need for the king of Shu to do anything.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi immediately shook off Pei Ze's hand, and ran towards Pei Ze's bedroom with a smile on his face.
Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's quickly disappearing back, Pei Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
He is not as good as a quilt?
"What happened when we didn't come back?" Pei Ze withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li An.
Li An shook his head and said, "There's nothing to do. It's approaching the end of the year, and people are slacking off. If they can do nothing, they won't do anything."
Pei Ze narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "The sixteen guards can't slack off. Let Kong Qing go to deliver some food and drink to the sixteen guards from tomorrow, and treat them as a reward for these three or nine days. You have a message to tell the sixteen guards to cheer up, and we must not offend His Majesty at this time."
Li An nodded and said, "This subordinate knows."
Looking up at Pei Ze's side face, Li An asked again: "My lord, it will be his birthday in a few days. How do you plan to spend this year?"
Pei Ze thought for a while, but he didn't answer the question: "When is King Shu's birthday?"
Li An was taken aback, and after thinking carefully, he replied, "Probably in the summer? I remember Miss Xiao said it once."
"Is it summer?" Pei Ze frowned, "Do you know the exact date?"
Li An shook his head, and then said: "Wait for the subordinates to ask Miss Xiao."
Pei Ze nodded.
Li An stared at Pei Ze, and asked hesitantly, "Then your birthday...?"
"It will be the same as in previous years." Pei Ze said without thinking.
After his parents passed away one after another, he didn't like to celebrate his birthday very much, but every year when his birthday came, Xu Lishan and a few close friends would come to Prince Wucheng's mansion to have a meal with him.
"Yes." Li An bowed his head.
I thought that with the king of Shu around, their princes would want to make it more lively.Otherwise, when their prince is not around, he will ask the king of Shu?
After talking with Li An, Pei Ze strode back to the dormitory, and when Pei Ze entered, Xiao Yanzhi was already lying down on the bed, and wrapped himself up like a bug with the quilt.
As soon as he saw Pei Ze enter the door, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and kicked the quilt, saying: "Come quickly, the quilt is the warmest in winter."
Seeing that one part of the quilt bulged twice, Pei Ze shook his head and laughed, and said, "Lie down by yourself."
Xiao Yanzhi suppressed his smile, frowned and asked, "Do you still have something to do?"
As the year approached, the emperor had nothing for them to do.
Pei Ze shook his head: "It's nothing."
It's just that he doesn't have the habit of lying in bed in broad daylight.
Xiao Yanzhi stared at Pei Ze, and then said, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
Hearing this, Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, after thinking for a while, he walked over, took off his clothes and got under the quilt.
"Go to sleep."
Lying down in Pei Ze's arms, Xiao Yanzhi closed his eyes contentedly.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was really going to sleep, Pei Ze also closed his eyes. Anyway, he couldn't do anything else at this time.
After a while, Pei Ze opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanzhi again: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"Really? Did I say that?" Xiao Yanzhi opened one eye and looked at Pei Ze with a smile.
"Don't make trouble." Pei Ze helplessly pulled Xiao Yanzhi's hand out of his underwear.
"It's cold." Xiao Yanzhi switched hands again, "You're warm."
Pei Ze's eyes twitched.
Where did Xiao Yanzhi want to keep warm with this hand?
"Li An will be here in a while."
Xiao Yanzhi rolled over and pressed on Pei Ze's body, he said indifferently, "He won't come in."
Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said nothing.
Xiao Yanzhi licked his lips, whispered into Pei Ze's ear and asked, "You really don't take the bait?"
Pei Ze's eyes darkened, he turned over and held Xiao Yanzhi down: "You won."
Outside the door, Li An listened to the intermittent voices coming from the room, holding two bowls of ginger soup, wanting to cry without tears.
How many times is this the first time?He is also really stupid, knowing that with their princes in the King of Shu, it is impossible to suffer from the cold, and they have more effective methods of heating, what did he do to make two bowls of ginger soup?He sent it so stupidly...
Li An sighed, and returned with ginger soup, his face flushed.
In the evening, someone from the Jinwu Guard came to look for Pei Ze, and Pei Ze hurriedly followed them away. Xiao Yanzhi, who stayed in the Wucheng Palace, was wrapped in a quilt and sat on the bed, looking at Pei Ze leaving boringly. Time to leave a script for him.
"My lord, it's time for dinner." Li An knocked on the door, and stood obediently at the door without permission.
Xiao Yanzhi replied perfunctorily without even raising his head: "I won't eat."
Li An had already guessed the result. The King of Shu has been like this for a while. If their princes are not around, then the King of Shu will probably eat less than one meal. In short, if there is no important thing, he will never leave the warm quilt.
"My lord, I want to discuss something with my lord."
Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Li An's silhouette on the door in puzzlement.
"Come in and talk."
Li An just opened the door and entered, but because he didn't know what kind of clothes Xiao Yanzhi was wearing at this time, he didn't dare to go to the bedside, and he just stood behind a small carved screen.
"My lord, it will be our lord's birthday in a few days."
"Pei Ze's birthday?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Li An who was blocked by the screen in doubt. On the one hand, he didn't know why Li An stood so far away, and on the other hand, he didn't know why Li An came to ask him, " What did Pei Ze say?"
Li An replied: "Our lord only said that it would be the same as in previous years, but in previous years, only King Qi and a few other people would come to the mansion to celebrate the lord's birthday, so..."
Xiao Yanzhi understood.
This means that Pei Ze doesn't like birthdays, but Li An wants to celebrate Pei Ze's birthday?But he still couldn't understand why Li An came to ask him.
"It's Pei Ze who celebrates his birthday, so he can do whatever he likes." If those people in the court were really invited to have a big event, is it a birthday celebration or a social gathering?
Li An looked at Xiao Yanzhi in surprise, and asked, "My lord, don't you have any ideas?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "How I celebrate his birthday is my business, I won't be with you."
The scene where he and Xu Lishan sat at the same table would probably not be very pleasant. He didn't want to mess up his birthday, which only happens once a year.
The surprise on Li An's face was even worse: "My lord...do you know when our lord's birthday is?"
Xiao Yanzhi chuckled lightly and said, "I know."
Pei Ze's birthday is something that even the emperor knows. Isn't it easy for him to know?
Li An was stunned for a moment, then suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Since this is the case, the subordinates will not disturb the prince's rest."
If the King of Shu is prepared, then he doesn't have to worry about it. For their princes, the King of Shu's place is the most important thing.
"En." Xiao Yanzhi nodded and continued reading.
Pei Ze just wanted to say that he touches it several times a day, how could he not be able to tell the difference?But when he saw Feng Yuan's playful smile out of the corner of his eyes, Pei Ze shut his mouth.
Although he didn't get an answer, looking at Pei Ze's expression, Xiao Yanzhi probably guessed what Pei Ze hadn't said. He narrowed his eyes and smiled, and Xiao Yanzhi asked, "Can you take off this clothes?"
"...Take it off." Pei Ze helped Xiao Yanzhi untie his clothes.

Pei Ze frowned, turned to look at Feng Yuan who had been watching quietly, and urged, "Quickly measure."
Feng Yuan shrugged.
It's not that he was dawdling for a long time, he just didn't urge him.
"Then, please cooperate with the King of Shu." The King of Shu hugged Pei Ze like this and did not let go. How would he measure it?

Feng Yuan sighed and said sadly: "You really have new people and forget the old ones. I have been by your side for so many years, can't you care about me a little more?"
Ignoring Feng Yuan's teasing, Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi and walked out.
As soon as the door was opened, Pei Ze saw snowflakes flying outside.
"It's snowing, put on your hat." As he said this, Pei Ze turned around and pulled up the hood of Xiao Yanzhi's fur cloak with his own hands. After covering Xiao Yanzhi tightly, Pei Ze suddenly He remembered what Feng Yuan said when they entered the door.
Not to mention, after wearing this cloak, Xiao Yanzhi really looked like some kind of fluffy animal.
"Is it snowing?" Xiao Yanzhi happily looked out.
"Is it cold?" Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi's hat forward again, almost covering half of Xiao Yanzhi's face.
Seeing that these two people were blocking his door and watching the snow come, Feng Yuan couldn't help coughing twice.
"I said... it just snowed, and it will be a little warmer outside, do you want to go for a walk?"
Although he probably guessed Pei Ze's love for Xiao Yanzhi when he heard what Pei Ze said, but this level of love is really unbearable. Poor health.
Hearing this, Pei Ze's eyes lit up, he glanced at Feng Yuan approvingly, and asked Xiao Yanzhi, "Do you want to take a walk?"
Xiao Yanzhi looked at the large snowflakes flying all over the sky, hesitated for a while, and then nodded.
Pei Ze smiled, and then said to Feng Yuan: "Let's go, hurry up and make the clothes."
"Yes, yes," Feng Yuan nodded helplessly, "the King of Shu must not be frozen."
Pei Ze nodded, and then led Xiao Yanzhi out.
Looking at the backs of Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi leaving together, a trace of worry appeared in Feng Yuan's eyes.
He has been with Pei Ze for six or seven years, and he has witnessed how Pei Ze has changed from an upright boy to what he is now, especially in recent years, Pei Ze's parents have left one after another, and he has been treating Pei Ze with his own eyes. The uncle who took care of Youjia suddenly became the lord of a country, and the brother who grew up with him also became a master-servant relationship overnight, and his friends who fought side by side were all dismissed because of the emperor's fear. All over the country, in just a few days, almost everyone around Pei Ze left. If he hadn't been discharged in time because of his leg injury, he might not have been able to stay in Chang'an City.

He doesn't have much business in this shop, and the people who come to cheer are old acquaintances from the past. Since there is already business today, it is better to make clothes for the king of Shu instead of opening the door to the cold.
On the other side, Pei Ze led Xiao Yanzhi to walk in the alleys of Chang'an City. Fortunately, there was a cloak blocking it, so no one could see their clasped hands.Kong Qing and Zhang Shaosheng followed behind in a carriage.
"You have a good relationship with him." Xiao Yanzhi raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the flying snow all over the sky in a good mood, and suddenly spoke without warning.
Pei Ze was stunned for a moment before he realized that the "he" in Xiao Yanzhi's mouth was referring to Feng Yuan.

"Is there nothing unclear about it?" Pei Ze squinted at Xiao Yanzhi.
Xiao Yanzhi carefully recalled his past life, shook his head and said, "No, no."
Shouldn't there be?In the past few years, he had been taking care of his younger siblings wholeheartedly, but he didn't remember ever teasing anyone... Probably not.
Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's eyes start to wander, Pei Ze snorted heavily: "Where's that Liu Jun?"
Xiao Yanzhi groaned in his heart.
How could Pei Ze still remember Liu Jun?Fortunately, they didn't run into each other in that small town in the south of the Yangtze River, otherwise Pei Ze would remember more people at this time.
"Liu Jun is just a younger brother." Xiao Yanzhi explained with a flattering smile.
"Brother?" Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, "He is in Bianzhou, you are in Jiangnan, his surname is Liu, your surname is Xiao, brother?"
Thinking that this matter was really unclear, Xiao Yanzhi became furious and kicked Pei Ze, "You still have the nerve to talk about me? There are no fewer people around you!"
Pei Zeli said bluntly: "I don't treat them that well."
Who is there with him?Besides Xu Lishan, who else would make Xiao Yanzhi mind?He is not Xiao Yanzhi's kind of person who greets everyone with a smile and is kind to everyone, and he has not provoked so many bees and butterflies.
"Don't treat them that well?" Xiao Yanzhi stared at Pei Ze, "Then it's better?"
Pei Ze laughed suddenly, looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said, "Compared with you, how can I treat them better? Now I really put all my heart on you, and I don't care about other things. .”
Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth: "I know that... isn't it all your topic?"
Pei Ze smiled and said, "Is it me? Who asked first?"
"Then...then I'll ask, can't I ask?" Xiao Yanzhi glared at Pei Ze with a blushing face.
He didn't ask because he was jealous.He will see those friends of Pei Ze in the future. Feng Yuan is in Chang'an City, so the number of meetings will definitely not be less. He just wants to know what kind of existence Feng Yuan is to Pei Ze, and then think about himself according to Pei Ze's answer. How should I treat Feng Yuan, but why did the words change after Pei Ze heard them?
"Yes." Pei Ze smiled, and suddenly raised his hand to touch Xiao Yanzhi's cheek, "Your face is flushed, is it from cold or from anger?"
Xiao Yanzhi also raised his hand to touch his face, only to feel the coldness under his palm: "It must be cold."
He wasn't angry again.
"Go back to the car." Pei Ze pulled Xiao Yanzhi around and walked back, "Don't really catch a cold."
Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and followed Pei Ze back to the carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, Xiao Yanzhi automatically nestled into Pei Ze's arms.
This place is still the warmest, much better than hand stoves!
After buying two steamed cakes at the stall at Fangkou, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi went back to Wucheng Palace. As soon as they entered, Pei Ze asked Li An to cook two bowls of ginger soup, while Xiao Yanzhi Immediately leaned to the brazier and squatted down to warm up.
Pei Ze frowned, stretched out his hand and lifted Xiao Yanzhi up: "Don't go to the brazier as soon as you come back."
He is not afraid of frostbite.
"It's cold..." Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze pitifully.
Li An immediately said: "The bed is already hot, the prince should go to the bed to warm up, the ginger soup will be ready in a while, and when it is ready, the subordinates will send it to the prince."
The king of Shu has been like this since the beginning of winter. Every time he comes back from the outside, he shouts that he is cold, even if there is a brazier in the house, the prince has no choice but to let the king of Shu sleep in a warm bed every day, anyway. There is no need for the king of Shu to do anything.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi immediately shook off Pei Ze's hand, and ran towards Pei Ze's bedroom with a smile on his face.
Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's quickly disappearing back, Pei Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
He is not as good as a quilt?
"What happened when we didn't come back?" Pei Ze withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li An.
Li An shook his head and said, "There's nothing to do. It's approaching the end of the year, and people are slacking off. If they can do nothing, they won't do anything."
Pei Ze narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "The sixteen guards can't slack off. Let Kong Qing go to deliver some food and drink to the sixteen guards from tomorrow, and treat them as a reward for these three or nine days. You have a message to tell the sixteen guards to cheer up, and we must not offend His Majesty at this time."
Li An nodded and said, "This subordinate knows."
Looking up at Pei Ze's side face, Li An asked again: "My lord, it will be his birthday in a few days. How do you plan to spend this year?"
Pei Ze thought for a while, but he didn't answer the question: "When is King Shu's birthday?"
Li An was taken aback, and after thinking carefully, he replied, "Probably in the summer? I remember Miss Xiao said it once."
"Is it summer?" Pei Ze frowned, "Do you know the exact date?"
Li An shook his head, and then said: "Wait for the subordinates to ask Miss Xiao."
Pei Ze nodded.
Li An stared at Pei Ze, and asked hesitantly, "Then your birthday...?"
"It will be the same as in previous years." Pei Ze said without thinking.
After his parents passed away one after another, he didn't like to celebrate his birthday very much, but every year when his birthday came, Xu Lishan and a few close friends would come to Prince Wucheng's mansion to have a meal with him.
"Yes." Li An bowed his head.
I thought that with the king of Shu around, their princes would want to make it more lively.Otherwise, when their prince is not around, he will ask the king of Shu?
After talking with Li An, Pei Ze strode back to the dormitory, and when Pei Ze entered, Xiao Yanzhi was already lying down on the bed, and wrapped himself up like a bug with the quilt.
As soon as he saw Pei Ze enter the door, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and kicked the quilt, saying: "Come quickly, the quilt is the warmest in winter."
Seeing that one part of the quilt bulged twice, Pei Ze shook his head and laughed, and said, "Lie down by yourself."
Xiao Yanzhi suppressed his smile, frowned and asked, "Do you still have something to do?"
As the year approached, the emperor had nothing for them to do.
Pei Ze shook his head: "It's nothing."
It's just that he doesn't have the habit of lying in bed in broad daylight.
Xiao Yanzhi stared at Pei Ze, and then said, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."
Hearing this, Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, after thinking for a while, he walked over, took off his clothes and got under the quilt.
"Go to sleep."
Lying down in Pei Ze's arms, Xiao Yanzhi closed his eyes contentedly.
Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi was really going to sleep, Pei Ze also closed his eyes. Anyway, he couldn't do anything else at this time.
After a while, Pei Ze opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanzhi again: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"Really? Did I say that?" Xiao Yanzhi opened one eye and looked at Pei Ze with a smile.
"Don't make trouble." Pei Ze helplessly pulled Xiao Yanzhi's hand out of his underwear.
"It's cold." Xiao Yanzhi switched hands again, "You're warm."
Pei Ze's eyes twitched.
Where did Xiao Yanzhi want to keep warm with this hand?
"Li An will be here in a while."
Xiao Yanzhi rolled over and pressed on Pei Ze's body, he said indifferently, "He won't come in."
Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi and said nothing.
Xiao Yanzhi licked his lips, whispered into Pei Ze's ear and asked, "You really don't take the bait?"
Pei Ze's eyes darkened, he turned over and held Xiao Yanzhi down: "You won."
Outside the door, Li An listened to the intermittent voices coming from the room, holding two bowls of ginger soup, wanting to cry without tears.
How many times is this the first time?He is also really stupid, knowing that with their princes in the King of Shu, it is impossible to suffer from the cold, and they have more effective methods of heating, what did he do to make two bowls of ginger soup?He sent it so stupidly...
Li An sighed, and returned with ginger soup, his face flushed.
In the evening, someone from the Jinwu Guard came to look for Pei Ze, and Pei Ze hurriedly followed them away. Xiao Yanzhi, who stayed in the Wucheng Palace, was wrapped in a quilt and sat on the bed, looking at Pei Ze leaving boringly. Time to leave a script for him.
"My lord, it's time for dinner." Li An knocked on the door, and stood obediently at the door without permission.
Xiao Yanzhi replied perfunctorily without even raising his head: "I won't eat."
Li An had already guessed the result. The King of Shu has been like this for a while. If their princes are not around, then the King of Shu will probably eat less than one meal. In short, if there is no important thing, he will never leave the warm quilt.
"My lord, I want to discuss something with my lord."
Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi raised his head and looked at Li An's silhouette on the door in puzzlement.
"Come in and talk."
Li An just opened the door and entered, but because he didn't know what kind of clothes Xiao Yanzhi was wearing at this time, he didn't dare to go to the bedside, and he just stood behind a small carved screen.
"My lord, it will be our lord's birthday in a few days."
"Pei Ze's birthday?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Li An who was blocked by the screen in doubt. On the one hand, he didn't know why Li An stood so far away, and on the other hand, he didn't know why Li An came to ask him, " What did Pei Ze say?"
Li An replied: "Our lord only said that it would be the same as in previous years, but in previous years, only King Qi and a few other people would come to the mansion to celebrate the lord's birthday, so..."
Xiao Yanzhi understood.
This means that Pei Ze doesn't like birthdays, but Li An wants to celebrate Pei Ze's birthday?But he still couldn't understand why Li An came to ask him.
"It's Pei Ze who celebrates his birthday, so he can do whatever he likes." If those people in the court were really invited to have a big event, is it a birthday celebration or a social gathering?
Li An looked at Xiao Yanzhi in surprise, and asked, "My lord, don't you have any ideas?"
Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "How I celebrate his birthday is my business, I won't be with you."
The scene where he and Xu Lishan sat at the same table would probably not be very pleasant. He didn't want to mess up his birthday, which only happens once a year.
The surprise on Li An's face was even worse: "My lord...do you know when our lord's birthday is?"
Xiao Yanzhi chuckled lightly and said, "I know."
Pei Ze's birthday is something that even the emperor knows. Isn't it easy for him to know?
Li An was stunned for a moment, then suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Since this is the case, the subordinates will not disturb the prince's rest."
If the King of Shu is prepared, then he doesn't have to worry about it. For their princes, the King of Shu's place is the most important thing.
"En." Xiao Yanzhi nodded and continued reading.
