The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

In Prince Wucheng's mansion, Pei Ze entered the palace to face the saint, while Xiao Yanzhi lay on the couch in the study and read a book, but this book was also unsettling.

"Why do you live in Prince Wucheng's mansion every day?" Qi Cheng lay on the outside of the study window, looking at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously.

Xiao Yanzhi didn't even look at Qi Cheng outside the window, turned over a page of the book, and said nonchalantly: "In Prince Wucheng's mansion, low-level nursing homes are not allowed to enter the backyard at will. Do it yourself."

Upon hearing Kong Qing's name, Qi Cheng shivered, and immediately looked left and right for a while, and Qi Cheng was relieved that Kong Qing did not appear in his sight range.

Kong Qing is the Sima of Prince Wucheng's Mansion. He is responsible for training all the Nursing Houses of Prince Wucheng's Mansion when there is nothing important to do on weekdays. They are still not used to Kong Qing's sternness, so when they see Kong Qing on weekdays, they are like a mouse seeing a cat.

"Don't scare people, Mr. Kong is going out with the prince today!"

After staying in Prince Wucheng's mansion for a while, Qi Cheng finally changed his tune and stopped calling Pei Ze "General Pei".

Xiao Yanzhi cast a sidelong glance at Qi Cheng, and then said calmly: "Disrespect to the lord, according to the punishment of the following crimes, thirty sticks."

As soon as Xiao Yanzhi finished speaking, He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng, who were standing at the door, flashed behind Qi Cheng and stretched out their hands to grab Qi Cheng.

"Wait, wait! I didn't disrespect the lord!" Qi Cheng defended himself with staring eyes, "I respect the lord the most!"

Xiao Yanzhi got up, looked at Qi Cheng's immature face and smiled, "I'm talking about you being disrespectful to me. Drag it on and hit me."

"Yes, my lord!" He Yan still had no expression on his face, and dragged Qi Cheng's arm away, while Zhang Shaosheng was smiling, pushing and shoving Qi Cheng happily.

"Me! You!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Qi Cheng hurriedly broke away from He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng, turned and ran away.

Looking at the back of Qi Cheng running away, Zhang Shaosheng smiled and said: "This kid is really good at martial arts, he escaped fast enough."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled, and lay back on the couch indifferently.

On the way from the backyard to the front yard, Qi Cheng ran into Li An unfortunately.

When Li An saw that it was Qi Cheng who was running towards him, his face turned cold immediately.

"Qi Cheng, stop!"

Qi Cheng stopped abruptly, and stood up straight for an instant. When he stood up straight, he realized that he was standing in front of Li An.

"Li, Li Changshi..."

Li An frowned, and shouted coldly: "What should I say when you see me?!"

Qi Cheng immediately stood up straighter, and said loudly: "I have seen Li Changshi!"

"No rules," Li An looked at Qi Cheng coldly, "Didn't Kong Sima tell you that low-level nursing homes are not allowed to enter and leave the backyard at will?"

"Say... I said it." Qi Cheng's eyes drifted away, not daring to look at Li An, "Yes, it is the king of Shu who wants to see the humble official."

"The King of Shu?" Li An frowned, "I'll give you another chance, and you've figured out what to say. Did you go to see the King of Shu, or did the King of Shu want to see you?"

"Yes..." Qi Cheng swallowed, "It's the king of Shu who went to meet with a humble job..."

Li An's eyebrows twitched, and he said angrily: "Come here! Drag him down for a long memory!"

This kid doesn't know what's going on, he keeps saying that he worships their lords, but since he entered the Wucheng Palace, this kid has been going to trouble the King of Shu every day. He is so interested in the King of Shu because he wants to do what?

Hearing Li An's yell, immediately the guards came over and restrained Qi Cheng, and he was abruptly taken off to the small courtyard where the guards lived, pressed on the bench and beat him up.

After the beating was over, Qi Cheng's face was pale with pain, and he lay on the bench cursing.

The guards around watching the fun were still teasing Qi Cheng, saying that Qi Cheng didn't have a long memory and deserved the beating, but at a certain moment, everyone shut their mouths together, and it seemed that Qi Cheng's cursing words were especially loud.

Kong Qing just came back from the outside after finishing her work. As soon as she came back, she heard that Qi Cheng had been beaten, and it was an order from Li An himself. Don't even think about it, Kong Qing knew what mistake Qi Cheng made. She originally thought that this kid would change after being beaten. You have to be honest, but as soon as you got back to the yard, you heard Qi Cheng swearing, and Kong Qing immediately turned black.

"Fight again."

Although there were only two short words, when Kong Qing's voice sounded above his head, Qi Cheng recognized it almost immediately, and immediately knew that something was wrong.

The two guards who had just put down their sticks had no choice but to pick up their sticks again, and when they walked up to Qi Cheng, they gave Qi Cheng a self-seeking look.

Prince Wucheng’s mansion recruits nursing homes once a year, and there are about a dozen teenagers recruited each time, but most of them are locals from Chang’an. Even if they are not locals, they have stayed in Chang’an for a while, and they all know that Wu Cheng Wang Daming, they all know the rules of Wucheng Palace, so they haven't encountered such a thorn in Qi Cheng for a long time, but this kid doesn't have any bad intentions, it's just that he is too unruly and doesn't have a long memory, such a person Entering Prince Wucheng's mansion, it can only be said that he was hit badly.

"I want to see the prince! I want to see the prince!" Qi Cheng yelled again when the wooden stick was about to fall on him.

Kong Qing snorted coldly, and said: "You are the prince and your father, can you see me if you say you can? Hit!"

So another ten sticks went down, with Kong Qing watching, the guards who held the sticks did not dare to show mercy. After these ten sticks, Qi Cheng was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to speak, and even his consciousness became weak. blurred.

Seeing that Qi Cheng seemed a little unconscious, Kong Qing raised her hand to make people stop, and then said coldly: "If you want to stay in Prince Wucheng's mansion, you should memorize the rules as soon as possible, or pack up your things and get out! Carry them back to the house medicine."

After finishing speaking, Kong Qing turned around and left the small courtyard. As soon as she reached the main room in the front courtyard, she saw Li An.

Seeing Kong Qing, Li An walked over and asked, "Have you seen Qi Cheng?"

"Well," Kong Qing nodded, "If you don't have a long memory, you can just send him away. Now is not a peaceful time, and there is no time to discipline him."

Hearing Kong Qing's words, Li An frowned slightly, and asked, "What did the lord ask you to do?"

Kong Qing didn't speak, just raised her hand and turned up the cuffs of her outer shirt, revealing the blood-stained inner sleeves.

Li An was startled, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Is it His Majesty's secret order?"

The secret order to send people from Prince Wucheng's mansion to carry out the assassination only happened in the first half year of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, and it happened every day, so why did it suddenly start again?

Kong Qing nodded.

"Your Majesty...what do you mean?" Li An turned to look at the backyard of Prince Wucheng's mansion.

Kong Qing shook his head again.

"Li Changshi." The disciples of Prince Wucheng's residence quickly approached, looking at Li An and Kong Qing who looked solemn, with doubts on their faces.

Li An's eyes flashed back to normal, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

Kong Qing just stared at Li An and strode away, as if the two had just quarreled.

Seeing this, the disciple really thought that Li An and Kong Qing had just had a dispute, and immediately put the matter behind him: "To Li Changshi, a man named Liu Hanqing asked to see the King of Shu."

"Liu Hanqing? Ask him to wait in the main room, and I will report to the King of Shu right now." After speaking, Li An turned around and walked towards the backyard.

The doorman cupped his hands at Li An's back, and after saying yes, he ran back to the door and took Liu Hanqing into the main room.

When he heard that Liu Hanqing wanted to see him, Xiao Yanzhi planned to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt that Liu Hanqing would not be free and came to Prince Wucheng's mansion to beg scolding, so he went to the main room anyway.

He Yan and Zhang Shaosheng also followed Xiao Yanzhi inseparably.

As soon as he saw Liu Hanqing, Xiao Yanzhi greeted him very unfriendlyly, "What's the matter?"

Liu Hanqing turned her head when she heard the sound, but there was no smile on her face as usual.

Xiao Yanzhi's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened to Jun Meng?"

Only then did Liu Hanqing shake her head with a smile, and said, "It's not Jun Meng, it's...it's the woman you mentioned who looks like Sister Chunyue."

"What? You saw her again?" Xiao Yanzhi suddenly had a smile in his eyes, "Do you know where she lives?"

"It's already been found." After saying this, Liu Hanqing stopped, looking at Xiao Yanzhi who still refused to continue.

Xiao Yanzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Is she doing well?"

"She..." Liu Hanqing opened his mouth, but he still didn't continue, "Come with me."

Liu Hanqing sighed, stood up and walked towards the gate of Prince Wucheng's mansion.

Xiao Yan was stunned, and quickly raised his heels.

Li An didn't have time to say anything to Xiao Yanzhi, so he grabbed He Yan and told him, "Be sure to protect the King of Shu."

Li An never asked this one more time, but when he said it suddenly and solemnly, He Yan was stunned.

Seeing He Yan's puzzled expression, Li An said again: "You must protect the King of Shu well, and you must not leave the King of Shu's side for a single step, do you understand?"

He Yan's heart tightened, and he nodded, "I see."

Before he finished speaking, He Yan hurried to chase after Xiao Yanzhi.

Li An's reminder gave him a bad feeling. At this time, he wished that the King of Shu could stay in Prince Wucheng's mansion quietly.

Liu Hanqing rode in front, not fast, seemed to be very hesitant, and a little unsure whether to tell Xiao Yanzhi or not.

Seeing Liu Hanqing hesitate like this, Xiao Yanzhi, who was following behind, had already prepared for the worst, but he never thought that the facts would always be worse than imagined. When Liu Hanqing reined in his horse and stopped in front of Pingkangfang , Xiao Yanzhi was stunned.

"Are... are you sure she's here?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his head, staring blankly at the archway in Pingkangfang.

Liu Hanqing frowned and said: "I'm not sure, I just saw a figure flashing past with you that day, I'm not sure if it's the same person I saw again, and I'm not sure if she is your sister, but ..."

"Which one?" Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath.

Only when you see it will you know whether it is true or not.

"Come with me." Liu Hanqing rode into Pingkangfang.

After taking two steps, Xiao Yanzhi rode his horse into Pingkangfang.

Liu Hanqing reined in his horse and stopped in front of a small-scale music workshop. In the past two years, Xiao Yanzhi had never set foot in a music workshop of this scale, whether it was the spring banquet for candidates or the emperor's birthday banquet for foreign envoys.

Liu Hanqing turned his head to look at Xiao Yan again, and then led Xiao Yanzhi into this music workshop.

After the application time, there are already customers in Pingkang Square, big and small, and this one is no exception.

Seeing the luxuriously dressed Xiao Yanzhi and Liu Hanqing entering the door, the madam of Lefang immediately came up to welcome them.

"The two young masters are here for the first time? Please come inside!"

Liu Hanqing took a step back, dodging the passionately extended hand of the madam, then handed out a sling of money and put it in the embarrassing hand of the madam.

"Is Miss Qingque here?"

The bustard immediately put away the money, and laughed so loudly that the flower branches trembled and said, "Oh, you two young masters are also here to see Qingque? But unfortunately, someone snatched it first today. The two young masters are waiting here? There are other girls here, who are also good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!"

Liu Hanqing handed out another bag of money with a smile, and said, "Can you accommodate me a bit? Just meet and chat for a while, it won't take too long."

Won't it take too long?The madam looked at Liu Hanqing suspiciously with the purse in her hand, but she weighed the purse in her hand, and the madam smiled again: "Come on, for the sake of the handsomeness of the two young masters, I will make arrangements for the two young masters." .The two young masters please go upstairs."

Sitting in the small wing room of the music workshop, Liu Hanqing asked Xiao Yanzhi worriedly: "By the way, are you alright?"

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Liu Hanqing, and said with a faint smile, "What can I do?"

Sitting opposite Xiao Yanzhi, Liu Hanqing curled her lips and said, "If you don't speak, there is probably something wrong."

Xiao Yanzhi said: "It's just a little nervous."

"Why are you nervous?" Liu Hanqing was puzzled.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at the door and said, "What if she is not Sister Chunyue? What if she is Sister Chunyue? How will she react when she sees me? What else can I do for her? "

Liu Hanqing lowered his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Sister Chunyue is not you, why did you come all the way from Jiangnan to Chang'an?"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said: "Now that things have happened, I also hope that I was wrong."

But for the three women who appeared in his life in this life, he probably wouldn't miss any of them.

Just as he was talking, someone pushed the door open and entered.

"I heard that two young masters spent a lot of money to invite slaves to have a chat. I wonder what the two young masters want to talk about?"

Gently closing the door, turning gracefully through a flowery door, Qingque's face has a signature charming smile, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes are full of the charm of a mature woman, and she can be seen as a master of romantic occasions just by moving her eyebrows and eyes.

Liu Hanqing glanced nervously at Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi had his usual gentle smile on his face, and it didn't change when he saw Qingque.

"Miss Qingque, can you come closer?"

"Closer? How close?" Qing Que covered her lips and smiled lightly, then stepped up to Xiao Yanzhi's side, and suddenly turned around and sat in Xiao Yanzhi's arms, "Your Excellency, do you think this is close enough?"

"Enough." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and lifted Qing Que's long hair hanging on one side, causing Qing Que to shiver in fright.

Looking at the green carving on Qing Que's neck, Xiao Yanzhi asked in a low voice: "Is this green carving to cover the scar?"

Qing Que was stunned, then smiled and said: "Master's eyesight is good, but I thought the scar had faded away, it's really annoying!"

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Well, it's gone too far to be seen, but I don't need to look at it, I know where it is."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and pinpointed the scar, remembering, "That's why you hit the wooden post at the head of the bed in order to catch me who fell from the bed, and was stabbed by the wooden post." Scratched."

Upon hearing this, Qing Que froze suddenly, and even the smile on her face disappeared.

Liu Hanqing sighed secretly, got up silently and walked outside the door.

It seems that the identity of this woman has been confirmed...

"When?" After a long silence, Xiao Yanzhi asked again, "When did they sell you? When I went to look for you again when I was 14, the Chen family had already moved away, but we I heard that you moved to Jingzhou, why are you in Chang'an?"

Qing Que finally found her own voice, grabbed Xiao Yanzhi's arm, and said with a trembling voice: "Let me go, my lord has admitted the wrong person."

However, Xiao Yanzhi hugged the person in his arms tightly again, and said: "Among all the women I have met in my life, there are three that I will never admit to being mistaken, one is my mother, and the other is not half related to me by blood. sister, and the last one is my younger sister who has been raised by me since birth."

"Master, you really misunderstood the person. This slave is not your elder sister." Qing Que struggled to get off Xiao Yanzhi's body.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Why didn't you guess that you were my mother? Don't struggle. I let go of your hand after listening to your words more than ten years ago. I have regretted it. I know that Sister Chunyue is You liar, I won't listen to what you say this time."

After Xiao Chunyue was sold to a businessman as a concubine, he went to find Xiao Chunyue. When he was ten years old, he finally practiced bow and arrow. After making sure that he could protect himself, he ran from their village to the town where Xiao Chunyue was, one way For more than 30 miles, you can only go back and forth on foot.

That was the first time he went to find Xiao Chunyue, and Xiao Chunyue scolded him bloody. Xiao Chunyue said that she had already lived the life of a rich man, and she didn't want to have anything to do with them who were poor.At that time Xiao Yanzhi felt that what Xiao Chunyue said made sense, and seeing that Xiao Chunyue, who was a concubine, was wearing gold and silver, he probably had a really good life.

So after returning to the village, Xiao Yanzhi never went to see Xiao Chunyue again. He didn't go to Chen's house until he opened a wine shop in the town. Originally, he just wanted to secretly see if Xiao Chunyue was still living a happy life, but At that time, I learned that the Chen family had moved to Jingzhou because of business.

"What's the use of asking these things now?" Xiao Chunyue sneered, "Looking at your expensive clothes, you must be a person of status and status now. What do you want to do with a woman like me?"

"What's wrong with you like this? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lived until now." Xiao Yanzhi suddenly raised his voice and called Liu Hanqing outside the door.

Liu Hanqing entered the door and asked Xiao Yanzhi, "What's wrong?"

"I'm afraid she'll run away, so I can't move for the time being. Help me redeem her." As he spoke, Xiao Yanzhi took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, "You're better at business than I am."

"I see." Liu Hanqing picked up the banknote from the table, turned around and was about to go out.

"Stop!" Xiao Chunyue shouted suddenly, "I don't need you to redeem yourself, you go away! Don't come to this place again!"

Xiao Yanzhi hugged Xiao Chunyue and did not let go, said: "I said that no matter what you say, I will not listen. This is not suitable for reminiscing about the past, let's talk about it in a different place first. Take you out of this place first, and then you will go wherever you want." According to your."

"You!" Xiao Chunyue stared at Xiao Yanzhi fiercely, "Are you crazy? What if you redeemed me for me? Can you take me home? Why would your wife let you bring a brothel? Girl go home?"

"What you are worried about will not happen." Xiao Yanzhi smiled.

"you!"

Before Xiao Chunyue could say anything, an uninvited guest stepped into the room.

"Qing Que, you've been out this trip for a long time, how dare you leave your official position to meet your lover, who gave you the courage?!"

Hearing this voice, Xiao Chunyue panicked even more, and kept beating Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder.

Xiao Yanzhi had no choice but to free up one hand to clasp Xiao Chunyue's both hands: "Shhh—be quiet for a while."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Yanzhi looked at the man who walked in swaggeringly, and said with a gentle smile, "It's such a coincidence that I ran into Mr. Gao here."

Gao Yong, the right admonishment doctor of Zhongshu Province, woke up immediately when he heard this familiar voice, lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Shu, the king of Shu... I have seen the king of Shu."

"En," Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and then asked Gao Yong, "Is Mr. Gao here for something?"

"It's...it's okay, I'm fine." Gao Yong shook his head immediately, "For disturbing the prince's Yaxing, I'll sue and resign!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Yong ran away scrambling.

This time it was Xiao Chunyue who was dumbfounded.

"You...you are the King of Shu?"

Xiao Yanzhi nodded nervously.

"The king of Shu... is the prince?" Xiao Chunyue looked at Xiao Yanzhi blankly.

Xiao Yanzhi nodded again, and said, "Sister Chunyue, Mother and I didn't do it on purpose..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yanzhi was slapped.

"You are the prince? You are the prince?!" Xiao Chunyue looked at Xiao Yanzhi angrily, "You are the prince, why didn't your mother take you to find the emperor?! Why did you come to my house?! Don't call me sister... ...Who is your sister?!"

If it wasn't for supporting Xiao Yan's mother and son, why would father sell her?She didn't want her family to worry, she was afraid that they would know what kind of life she was living, so she pretended to be living a good life, even if she was sold by the Chen family later, she never thought of going back and hurting her family, but If Xiao Yanzhi was the prince, then why did she suffer so much?

"No... Sister Chunyue, listen to me..."

"I won't listen!" Xiao Chunyue bent her elbows and bumped into Xiao Yanzhi's face, and jumped out of Xiao Yanzhi's arms while Xiao Yanzhi was dodging, "Get out, don't come looking for me again." Me!"

After the words fell, Xiao Chunyue turned around and ran away.

"Sister Chunyue!" Xiao Yanzhi got up and chased after her.

Liu Hanqing touched his right side of the face, thinking to himself that Xiao Chunyue's slap was really hard, but it's not like he couldn't understand Xiao Chunyue's mood, if he was Xiao Chunyue, he would probably even stab Xiao Yanzhi's heart with a knife Bar?

Not daring to waste time, Liu Hanqing also rushed out of the wing.

He had to settle all the idlers before there were idlers to disrupt the situation.
