The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Xiao Yanzhi regretted not being able to get a valid reason to visit the palace with that dagger.

"My lord and the Second Highness came to look for me, but is there something wrong?"

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi sitting cross-legged on the grand master's chair all the time, very relaxed from head to toe, Xu Lishan looked suspiciously at Pei Ze.

This is the mountain villager that Big Brother Pei said?A mountain villager who relaxes as if at home in a strange place?A mountain villager who is still so rude to the prince and the prince?Why is it that the mountain village folks he has met before are always trembling and respectful when they see someone who is better dressed than him?

No matter what he thinks in his heart, Xu Lishan came here specially to show his goodwill to Xiao Yanzhi, so Xu Lishan smiled reservedly and said softly: "Brother Huang is here for the first time, and I am afraid that Brother Huang will feel unwell, so I came here to see if Brother Huang is still there. any request?"

"A request?" Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Lishan, then at Pei Ze, and asked, "Can I make a request?"

Xu Lishan nodded, and said: "Of course, if you need anything else, brother, just say it."

Xiao Yanzhi stretched out his finger and asked with unclear meaning: "Do I have to live here?"

Pei Ze felt familiar when he heard this question, but Xu Lishan was startled.

This Wanchun Palace is a dignified hall in the imperial palace, where does this imperial brother want to live if he doesn't want to live here?Could it be that he wants a bigger place?

Disdainful in his heart, Xu Lishan asked patiently: "It's not necessarily true, if the emperor doesn't like it, you can live in another place."

"That's great!" Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up, and he said, "I don't live here, change me to a smaller place."

"So the emperor likes smaller...huh?" Xu Lishan was stunned suddenly, and looked at Xiao Yanzhi in astonishment, "Emperor...do you want to live in a smaller place?"

Xiao Yanzhi nodded very seriously and said: "This room is too big, even the chairs are made of high-quality nanmu, the curtain beside it is inlaid with gold threads, and the vase over there is also made of enamel, right? Tsk tsk tsk, look at me Feeling flustered, how can I live safely? Anyway, the Second Highness also said that I don't have to live here, so please change me to a smaller place, I can't live in such a big place by myself."

Xu Lishan was dumbfounded, and looked left and right according to what Xiao Yanzhi said, and was surprised to find that this "mountain villager" in coarse cloth was actually a man of knowledge, Nanmu was right, Jinsi was right, even enamel up.Where in the world can such a villager be raised?

Hearing this, Pei Ze finally understood why Xiao Yanzhi's previous question sounded familiar to him. When he entered the palace, Xiao Yanzhi used this question to fool Chu Liang, wasting what His Majesty specially ordered to do. Jian Yu, although it is a trivial matter, but Pei Ze feels that he should be more careful about Xiao Yanzhi's sentence pattern in the future, lest he make more tricky requests.

Taking a glance at Xu Lishan, who was already at a loss for what to do, Pei Ze said, "His Majesty personally chose the Wanchun Palace for His Highness, and it was also arranged by His Majesty himself. …Get used to it early.”

Pei Ze said this politely, but Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze's expression and heard Pei Ze's tone, and felt that what Pei Ze said was "you have to get used to it".

Xiao Yanzhi frowned, and said: "Didn't you say that you don't have to live here? In fact, I can live anywhere, right? Your Majesty has state affairs to worry about, so you don't care where I live? I'm just a rough person, living in such a luxury Isn't the place too wasteful?"

For more than ten years, I have lived in a small house with my family. Even after I went to the town to do business, I divided a big house into three rooms, one for him, one for my two younger brothers, and one for my younger sister. In the palace, Xiao Yanzhi didn't feel safe at all, and he felt even more flustered if he had to live in such a big house by himself.

Pei Ze said unmoved: "Not necessarily, but it's best. His Highness's residence should match His Highness's identity."

Xiao Yanzhi understood.As a prince, he can still choose where to live, but since this is the residence "specially" prepared for him by the emperor, he had better not disappoint His Majesty's "good intentions".

Xiao Yanzhi was stunned, he raised his head and stopped talking.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi tilting his head and looking at a place where no one was around, without a smile on his face, Xu Lishan and Pei Ze looked at each other in blank dismay.

This is... losing your temper?Sure enough, they are people from outside, and they don't know how to hide their emotions in this deep palace.

Xu Lishan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said: "Brother Huang, don't be angry. If Brother Huang really doesn't like living by himself, then you can go and tell Father Emperor tomorrow, and ask Father Emperor to allow you to live with someone else."

"Can you live with others?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi immediately looked at Xu Lishan.

Xu Lishan was flustered by Xiao Yanzhi's naked eyes, lowered his eyes and nodded, "Of course it is possible. Originally, there were only young brothers and sisters living together in twos and threes, but the situation of the royal brother is special. The emperor should agree."

Xiao Yanzhi stared at Xu Lishan and asked again: "Then who can I live with? You? Do you want to live with me?"

"Ah?" Xu Lishan was stunned again, "Me, me?"

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi nodding his head very seriously, Xu Lishan wished he could bite off his tongue.

Why on earth is he so talkative?

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, and with that innocent look again, he asked, "Don't you want it?"

Xu Lishan shook his lips and mouthed several times, but he couldn't say the word "no".

Pei Ze came out to help again, saying: "If Your Highness really doesn't want to live alone, then I can live with His Highness."

"Really?" Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up instantly.

Pei Ze nodded and said, "Don't dare to lie to Your Highness."

Pei Ze still has some doubts about the eldest prince's heart, and even more so, he can't see what the eldest prince thinks about the palace. When nothing is certain, it is better to put people by his side than by Xu Lishan's side. Be much more at ease.

"King Wu Cheng is really a good man!" Xiao Yanzhi praised sincerely.

In this palace, even the emperor's side is not as safe as that of Pei Ze's.

Pei Ze is not a prince, although he is on good terms with the second prince, but he will not treat him as an imaginary enemy when he is by Pei Ze's side.Moreover, Pei Ze always acted like no stranger to get close to him. Whoever wanted to mess around with his territory would probably be repaired miserably.Furthermore, after observing the road from Bianzhou to Chang'an and then to the imperial palace, Xiao Yanzhi also found that Pei Ze seemed to be enjoying himself in the army, and the person in charge of the military felt quite safe.

Seeing Xiao Yanzhi's bright smile, Pei Ze suddenly frowned.

Why do you think he was calculated?But following him won't gain any benefits, so why count him for this?

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi's bright smiling face again, Pei Ze felt that he was overthinking again.

In the eyes of some people, the imperial palace is indeed a terrifying place. Maybe this eldest prince really dare not live alone.
