The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Seeing the sunset and the moon rising, and the bright sky being replaced by night, Pei Ze was disappointed that Xiao Yanzhi really didn't know his birthday, and for some reason, he stayed up at night without even saying hello on this special day. Destination, even though he felt that he was a little unreasonable, Pei Ze was still angry, and he even held back his breath and didn't ask anyone to find Xiao Yanzhi, even though he was already worried.

Feng Yuan was also scratching his head in anxiety, and silently greeted Xiao Yanzhi many times in his heart.

Xu Lishan kicked Feng Yuan secretly, and when Feng Yuan looked over, he leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

He has been with Brother Pei almost all day today, but why doesn't he know why Brother Pei is so unhappy at this moment?How did Feng Yuan know?

Feng Yuan smiled wryly and said: "I still want to know what's going on... It's really a husband and wife quarreling and I don't care about it. If I knew it, I wouldn't come this year. Anyway, someone would celebrate his birthday."

"Someone? Who?" Xu Lishan looked at Feng Yuan blankly.

As soon as Feng Yuan heard this, he knew that Pei Ze didn't tell Xu Lishan about it, and he opened his mouth to tell a lie to get over the matter, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't tell the lie.

"Let's wait for Pei Ze to tell you personally. I dare not talk about him."

Chu Xin, Luo Yi, and Fan An also felt that they couldn't go on like this forever, but they didn't even know how to say it if they wanted to comfort Pei Ze. to the sky.

"En? Who put up the sky lanterns?" Luo Yi was the first to notice a light in the night sky, and looked up curiously.

As soon as Luo Yi said this, several other people also raised their heads and looked into the air.

"Then there are words written on it?" Chu Xin carefully identified it, "Xinyue...Junxi? Hehe, who is this who put up the sky lantern to show his heart?"

"One after another!" Luo Yi excitedly pointed to the second sky lantern that flew up, "There are also words on it...the white head will never leave!"

"What's more...you are not old, love is endless? Did you tell the living or the dead? If you told it to the living, then this person is really courageous," Fan An said with a smile , "This sky lantern is to fly to the sky with a wish to show to the gods. If the gods agree, then he will never regret it in his life. If he told the dead..."

Does this person intend to live alone for the rest of his life with this love?

Chu Xin said enviously: "How do you know that he is not determined to never regret? If someone is willing to put a sky lantern for me to pray to the gods, even if it is only a momentary determination, it is enough to make me feel bad. What a waste of life. How many lamps has he put?"

"It's already nine." Luo Yi looked up at the sky, counted with great interest, and complained casually, "This person didn't write clearly to whom he wanted to show his heart. What if the gods made a mistake?"

The main reason is that he can only watch half of the excitement, and he feels uncomfortable!Why don't you ask someone to check it out?

Chu Xin smiled: "People are in their hearts, if they are sincere, the gods will naturally hear it."

Feng Yuan, who had been listening all the time, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and hurriedly patted Pei Ze who was staring at the sky in a daze.

"Backyard! Your backyard! It flew out of your backyard!"

Hearing this, Pei Ze blinked before recovering, then stood up and ran to the backyard of Prince Wucheng's mansion.

Fan An and the others, who were still leisurely watching the excitement, were taken aback by Feng Yuan's exclamation and Pei Ze's courage, and when they recovered, they all looked at Feng Yuan together.

"You said... it flew out of Pei Ze's backyard?" Chu Xin pointed to the sky lantern with an expression of disbelief.

Since when are there more people in Pei Ze's backyard?How come they never heard of it.

Feng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Didn't it just fly out of his backyard. This day is really not in vain. I'm going to rest, how about you?"

Fan An asked Feng Yuandao in surprise, "Aren't you going to visit the backyard?"

"What are you looking at?" Feng Yuan chuckled, "Then it's time for the two of you to be affectionate, what shall we do?"

Luo Yi stared and shouted dissatisfiedly: "You have seen someone, so you naturally have nothing to be curious about!"

Feng Yuan shrugged and said, "Then if you are curious, go and have a look."

Maybe Pei Ze let them watch it as soon as he was happy.However, these people are all officials in the court. It is estimated that Pei Ze will not easily let them see the true face of the King of Shu. Otherwise, if they part ways in the future, this will be the biggest excuse for Pei Ze and the King of Shu.

But there is nothing he can do at the moment, he is really uncomfortable after drinking all afternoon, he should find a guest room to wash and sleep by himself.

On the other side, Pei Ze ran all the way into the backyard, and as soon as he stepped into the entrance, he saw Li An and Kong Qing guarding there, apparently colluding with Xiao Yanzhi long ago.

Pei Ze gave Li An a hard look, but he didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with Li An, so he strode into the courtyard.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xiao Yanzhi turned his head, covered half of his face with a hood and looked around very cautiously. After confirming that only Pei Ze was coming, Xiao Yanzhi smiled.

"Have they all gone?"

Pei Ze walked towards Xiao Yanzhi quickly, shook his head and said, "No."

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows lightly: "Then they didn't follow? Aren't you curious?"

Pei Ze stood behind Xiao Yanzhi, looking at Xiao Yanzhi's side face illuminated by the fire with lingering and affectionate eyes: "I don't know."

Seeing Pei Ze's fiery eyes make his heart pound, Xiao Yanzhi gave a dry cough, and turned his head to look at the sky lantern that the two servants had just picked up: "Can the words on this be read clearly from the outside?"

"I can see it clearly," Pei Ze raised his eyes and glanced at the sky lantern that had just risen into the sky, "I'm afraid you can see it clearly even if you stand outside the city."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled lightly and said, "That's good, I can't write many words on this praying lantern, but I'm so worried."

Originally, I wanted to try to write a love poem or a longer sentence on it, but after trying it once, I found that once the number of characters was too large, the characters would be too small to read clearly, so I could only change it to short words. Make sure that no matter where Pei Ze stands in Wucheng Palace, he can see it clearly, but now it seems that everyone except Pei Ze can see it clearly.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi smile, Pei Ze unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and asked softly, "Just because of this, I've been hiding from me for a day? Do you know that I've been waiting for you?"

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "I didn't hide from you. I went to the Hall of Valor after I came out from my father's place, but I stayed there for too long and didn't come back until evening. I thought Xu Lishan and the others could leave before dinner, so I didn't Those who are waiting in the backyard, who knows that they will still live."

Pei Ze barely listened to the second half of Xiao Yanzhi's words, and only the words "Hall of Heroes" remained in his ears.

"What are you doing in the Hall of the Dead?"

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and said, "Go see your father and inform him that the Pei family has no heirs."

Pei Ze was startled, and couldn't help reaching out to hug Xiao Yanzhi tightly.

He knew that Xiao Yanzhi seemed to have done something bad, but what he could say to a deceased person's tablet must be good words.

"Are you ready to marry into my family?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at the more than 20 praying lanterns floating in the air, and said with a smile, "I've already made oaths to the gods, and I'm afraid it's too late to repent. This is the end of the matter, and I'm afraid there are only two people in my life." This kind of result, either leave you and die badly, or rely on you to die together."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Pei Ze hurriedly covered Xiao Yanzhi's mouth, and gave Xiao Yan a hard look, "By God, why are you still talking nonsense?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and turned to face Pei Ze: "Then, the gods are above, and the believers sincerely pray that they will stay with the person in front of them for a lifetime, and they will be together forever. Will the gods respond?"

"Yes!" Pei Ze had a never-before-seen bright smile on his face, and he lowered his head and kissed Xiao Yanzhi with a smile.

In the palace, the emperor, who was still reviewing memorials in the Hall of Liangyi, suddenly felt that there was an inexplicable noise outside the Imperial Study Room.

"Zhao Kang, go outside and see what's going on."

Seeing that the emperor frowned displeasedly, Zhao Kang hurriedly responded.

Turning around and leaving the imperial study room quickly, Zhao Kang didn't need to ask anyone, the moment he stepped out the door, he saw the sky full of praying lanterns swaying with the night wind, floating to and fro in the sky above Chang'an City, some They have risen into the sky and turned into tiny spots of light, but some of them seem to have deviated from the established track and staggered to the outside of the city. The most striking thing is the extremely clear writing on each sky lantern. Every word and every sentence is used to describe deep love and no regrets.

Zhao Kang stared blankly at the fire that was brighter than the stars all over the sky. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He hurried to find Bao Quan and asked, "Did you see where these praying lanterns came from?"

The security guard nodded hastily: "This praying sky lantern has been placed for a long time, I am afraid that the whole city of Chang'an may have seen it, and they all flew out from Prince Wucheng's mansion."

"Prince Wucheng's Mansion?" Zhao Kang was startled, "Are you sure these all flew out of Prince Wucheng's Mansion?"

"How dare I talk nonsense! How dare I lie to you, Master?" Baoquan said aggrievedly, "To tell you the truth, Master, I just climbed up to the roof of our Liangyi Hall to take a look when I saw a few sky lanterns. Master, don’t you know how high the roof of our Liangyi Hall is? You can clearly see that it came out of Prince Wucheng’s mansion!”

Zhao Kang was stunned again, and suddenly he raised his hand and slapped Baoquan on the head: "You dare to climb the roof of Liangyi Hall? You don't want your head anymore, do you?"

"Ouch! Master, please forgive me!" Baoquan hurriedly begged for mercy, "Isn't this... a special situation?"

"Let's forgive you!" Zhao Kang gave Baoquan a hard look, and hurried back to the imperial study to report to the emperor.

The emperor felt strange when he heard this.

"You said that someone put a sky lantern in the Wucheng Palace, and there are love words written on it?"

"That's right!" Zhao Kang replied, "The sky lanterns are still floating outside, Your Majesty, would you like to go out and have a look?"

The emperor nodded, stood up and walked out: "Well, we have to take a look. Did Pei Ze let it go or someone else?"

Zhao Kang took out a cloak and put it on the emperor, shook his head and said, "I don't know, do you want the old slave to send someone to Prince Wucheng's mansion to ask?"

"Forget it, he let go of the sky lantern, so I won't bother to ask him tonight, anyway, he has to come to see me tomorrow."

Stepping out of the door of the imperial study room, the emperor was also amazed by the dots of fire in the night sky. The words on the sky lantern were nothing special, but the warm fire light reflected a little more friendship.

"Do you remember that today is Pei Ze's birthday?" the emperor asked Zhao Kang, looking at the sky lanterns floating in different directions.

Zhao Kang nodded and said: "Exactly, those few people went to Prince Wucheng's mansion to celebrate Prince Wucheng's birthday."

The emperor snorted with a smile, and said: "Those people can't let him go! Forget it, it's not easy for him these years. It's rare for someone to surprise him on his birthday. I don't care if he will cause trouble this time." What a commotion. Pei Ze also met a girl who dared to do it, and she is a match for him."

Seeing that the emperor was happy and didn't care about it, Zhao Kang also smiled and said, "Isn't that right, I just don't know which family the girl is from."

"Well, I'll ask tomorrow." Having seen enough of the sky lanterns, the emperor turned around and went back to the imperial study, and arranged for people to go around to see if the sky lanterns had caused any disturbance.

On this ordinary winter night, many people inadvertently saw the praying sky lanterns floating above Chang'an City. Which house released the sky lantern, but this night, only a few court humerus whose mansion is located in the same square as Prince Wucheng's mansion can get the most accurate news, and the others will leave their doubts until the next day However, this does not prevent them from guessing a lingering love story based on the few words on the sky lantern, and many people were reminded of their own love memories by those words.

This winter night became a little warmer because of more than [-] sky lanterns.

In the early morning of the second day, the five Xu Lishan who stayed at the Wucheng Palace sat neatly in the main room of the Wucheng Palace, waiting for Pei Ze to come out to give them an explanation, but when they saw Pei Ze come out, he still had At the moment of Xiao Yan, people who don't know have another doubt.

When did the King of Shu come?

Xiao Yanzhi only nodded to a few people and walked out of Prince Wucheng's mansion.

As soon as Pei Ze saw these people, he frowned: "If you don't go to court, what are you doing sitting here?"

Fan An said angrily, "Someone did a lot of things behind our backs, which made us sleepless all night. If we don't get an answer, I won't be able to go to court today."

Pei Ze gave Fan An a white look, and said indifferently: "Then don't go, let Li An arrange a carriage to take you back home later."

Chu Xin looked at Pei Ze with dissatisfaction and said, "Pei Ze, it's not kind of you to do this. We didn't bother you last night. After so many years of friendship, we also care about you. You should reveal it anyway. How about a little?"

Pei Ze looked at Chu Xin coldly and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to watch the excitement?"

Chu Xin was speechless and touched his nose guilty.

No matter what, they still wanted to watch the fun. They couldn't imagine the scene where Pei Ze was talking to the person he liked, who made Pei Ze treat others indifferently. Isn't this curious?

Feng Yuanchong smiled at Xiao Yanzhi, then suddenly stood up and stretched his waist, and said, "I won't waste time with you guys here, I, a person without salary, will go back to open a shop and do business to earn rice and food for myself."

After finishing speaking, Feng Yuan raised his legs and walked away, and even patted Pei Ze on the shoulder as he passed by Pei Ze.

Pei Ze looked at Feng Yuan and smiled, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Feng Yuan smiled and swaggered away.

Pei Ze looked at the four people who were still sitting there, and said coldly, "Then you can do whatever you want, I'm going to court."

Seeing Pei Ze turn around and leave in a chic way, even his back was a bit smug, Luo Yi gritted his teeth with hatred: "This man! Why is this man so unjust? Why is he so stingy when he doesn't rob him? !"

Chu Xin and Fan An looked at each other, stood up helplessly, and said, "Come on, Pei Ze's mouth is so tight, if he doesn't want to say it, he won't say it anyway. I don't know what kind of fairy beauty is covering it so tightly." .Let’s ask Feng Yuan another day, and bring some wine.”

Luo Yi curled his lips, and reluctantly said: "That's okay."

When the three of them stepped out of the gate of Prince Wucheng's mansion, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi had already left, and even Xu Lishan followed Pei Ze, and the three of them complained about Pei Ze before entering the palace. towards.

At the gate of Liangyi Hall, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly grabbed Pei Ze.

Pei Ze turned around and looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yan asked with a worried face: "You said... can Father know about what happened last night?"

Pei Ze smiled and said, "I must know."

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth: "Then go in."

Shouldn't you be scolded?

Smiling and watching Xiao Yanzhi walk past him, Pei Ze followed Xiao Yanzhi into the Liangyi Hall.

Xu Lishan couldn't hear the whispers between Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze, but could only see what they said together.Looking at the two men suspiciously, Xu Lishan followed silently into the Hall of Liangyi without asking anything.

After paying his respects, Pei Ze was interrogated as a matter of course.

"Pei Ze, did you enjoy your birthday yesterday?" The emperor got up early today, so he had time to sit down and have a cup of tea with Xiao Yanzhi and the others early in the morning.

Pei Ze nodded calmly and said, "Thank you for your concern, it's okay."

"It's just okay?" The emperor squinted at Pei Ze, "I see you are going to be overjoyed? You put the sky lantern?"

"Back to His Majesty, no."

Xiao Yanzhi pretended to have nothing to do with himself, and drank tea calmly while listening to the question and answer between the emperor and Pei Ze.

The emperor chuckled and said: "Laugh if you want, why are you still pretending to be serious in front of me? How can you keep a secret of such a big matter? I think not only is I ignorant, but even the second child and the second child are You don’t know the three, do you?”

Xu Liqian immediately echoed: "Isn't that right? Last night I heard that the praying lantern was released from Yixiong's mansion, but I was shocked. Yixiong, which girl is it?"

Xu Liqian looked at Pei Ze playfully.

Pei Ze's eyes flashed, he glanced at the emperor, and seeing that the emperor was waiting for an answer, he replied, "Just an ordinary person."

The emperor laughed and scolded: "You bastard! If this is the daughter of some family, would he still allow you to hide your daughter in the mansion without knowing why? Just ask what kind of ordinary person you are!"

Pei Ze looked left and right, and said, "Just an ordinary, ordinary person."

The emperor stared at Pei Ze and said, "You are usually silent, but now you are here to go around in circles with me?"

"I dare not."

Seeing that Pei Ze couldn't ask anything, the emperor asked Xiao Yanzhi again: "Speaking of which, you have lived in Wucheng Palace these days, you should know about it, right?"

Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile: "My son knows something, but the brother-in-law doesn't want to say it, and the minister is not allowed to talk about the family affairs of the brother-in-law. In short, the father can rest assured, he is... a person who really likes the brother-in-law .”

"Nonsense!" The emperor gave Xiao Yan a hard look, "There is a god standing three feet above your head, and if you dare to express your heart to the god with a prayer lantern, it is naturally true."

"Isn't that enough?" Xiao Yanzhi shrugged, "Father, if you like to ask the bottom line so much, you will be hated by others."

The emperor was speechless: "You boy! I haven't dealt with you for a while, and your skin is itchy again, right?"

"I don't dare, father calm down." Xiao Yanzhi hurriedly bowed his hand to apologize to the emperor, but what he said was as insincere as possible, and the emperor was so angry that the emperor gave him another look.

The emperor took a breather, and said to Pei Ze: "Pei Ze, you can be regarded as my half son, and I also hope that you can live happily. If you identify someone, regardless of status, pick a time and bring it to me. Let's see."

If it is really a woman who will not affect the court or Yanzhi, it is not impossible to make an exception and let him marry as the main wife.He owed the Pei family a lot in his life, but he could not repay much.

Hearing this, Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan, then nodded and said: "Yes, when the time is right, I will definitely bring it to His Majesty."

"Timing?" The emperor looked at Pei Ze suspiciously, "Bring someone to show me, what timing do you need? Do you want me to ask Si Tiantai to count a good and auspicious day for you?"

"I'm terrified." He said terrified, but Pei Ze's face was still expressionless.

He has this person with him, every day.

Seeing that the emperor still wanted to ask more questions, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Father, don't ask any more questions. Brother Yi just wants to hide him and protect him. You insist on bringing him out. In case of bumping into someone Alright, how can you pay the brother-in-law, father!"

"Is this the baby?" The emperor looked at Pei Ze in disbelief.

"That's right! Father, don't look at my son Lai in the Wucheng Palace, but this person can only watch from a distance. If he gets close, hey, Yixiong will chase me and beat me! "Xiao Yanzhi said emotionally.

The emperor blinked and asked curiously, "Looks good?"

"Uh..." Xiao Yanzhi paused, feeling a bit embarrassed to answer this question, "It looks pretty from a distance."

"How about a closer look?" Xu Lishan also asked.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth and said, "I haven't seen it close, how would I know."

Pei Ze didn't hold back, and laughed out loud.

"Hey! Brother Yi laughed! That must be a fairy!" Xu Liqian yelled.

Xiao Yanzhi supported his forehead.

This game is too shameful and too difficult to play...
