[Respect must be respectful] Respect Chang'an

For the fourth year of Tianbao, Li Mi was in charge of Prince Zhan Shi, who was a servant in the Eastern Palace. He was supposed to live in the palace, but the prince sympathized with Li Mi and gave him a courtyard outside the palace. He still treated him as a subject, except for necessary business No need to enter the palace.

Five days ago, an eunuch came to the East Palace and rushed to tell Li Bi to enter the palace, saying that there was an urgent need.Li Mi only had time to change into an outer shirt before rushing into the palace with others. He went there for five days, and when he returned to Li's mansion, it was already five days later.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Tanqi came out from the corridor to greet him. As usual, he looked left and right. Seeing that Li Mi's eyes were slightly blue, he felt a little distressed: "Young master, I have been away for five days, and I have become much haggard. Call me, Tanqi is going to think wildly again." Li Mi laughed dumbly, and slowly explained everything in the palace, but looked over Tanqi's shoulders and searched around, and found the person he was looking for in front of his bedroom door.

Zhang Xiaojing was holding a knife, leaning against the door and standing under a lamp, the shadows cast by the two browbones covered most of his face, but his eyes were burning, scanning Li Mi up and down, as if he was confirming something.Li Mi and him looked at each other for a while, a little surprised how the usually rough man was so quiet today, and was about to call out to General Zhang, but Zhang Xiaojing kicked his legs and left without looking back.

Li Mi was stunned, and the half-step forward stopped awkwardly.It was the first time he was ignored by Zhang Xiaojing, his heart suddenly sank a few inches, and he panicked.Tan Qi saw it, lowered his eyes, took the whisk in Li Mi's hand, and said softly: "Since the young master entered the palace, Zhang Xiaojing waited outside the palace gate during the day, and guarded in front of the young master's gate at night." Tan Qi sighed, "He Have stood under that lamp for four nights..."

Li Mi's heart tightened: "...he is annoyed with me," Jian Mei wrung out a word, "Since you wait for me at the palace gate every day, why don't you see anyone coming to report?"

"The nobleman sent someone to send a message, saying that the palace is busy, and the young master and the ministers are unable to get away. Let us not worry," Tan Qi said, "The young master has not delivered the letter. Zhang Xiaojing said that as long as you are with the nobleman, it is fine." I don’t want to disturb the young master’s mind about important matters,” Tan Qi raised his eyes slightly, “I didn’t report it…”

The more Li Bi heard it, the more uncomfortable he felt.He is alone, and he is used to being alone, and when he encounters troubles, he puts three parts of his soul on him. The people around him always use them immediately, and he forgets that others will worry about him, let alone Zhang Xiaojing's mutual trust. A person who lives and dies... A major event in the court has only just come to an end, and another matter is on his mind. Li Mi has been holding back through a wooden door, as if something bad will happen if he steps into the bedroom.After thinking hard for a long time, Li Bi said with some difficulty: "Tanqi...help me tomorrow..."

Besides, although Zhang Xiaojing was angry and worried for several days, he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Li Bi came back intact.Feeling hungry, Zhang Xiaojing was thinking of going to the kitchen to find something to eat, but Tan Qi was already waiting for him at the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Please invite General Zhang to have a meal." The Tan chess player stretched back, and in a small pavilion not far away, Li Mi sat guarding several sea bowls.Zhang Xiaojing raised his eyebrows, wondering what kind of medicine this little fox sells in the gourd. He walked over and saw three bowls of plain noodles, a pot of warm tea, four or five dishes of salted side dishes and sauced beef. Stare at him and sit down.

Zhang Xiaojing looked at Tanqi, then at Li Mi, and smiled: "Breakfast?"

"Yes, I don't know if it suits your taste." Li Bi's face was normal, but Zhang Xiaojing was stunned to see a little nervousness. "Rare..." Zhang Xiaojing picked up the chopsticks suspiciously, "You never eat with me, why did you prepare so carefully today?"

"...I can't say anything about food. I have been waiting for you for a long time. The noodles will not taste good when they are cold."

Zhang Xiaojing snorted, thinking that Li Mi would not poison him, so he took a few slices of sauced beef and ate it with plain noodles. The noodles were of different thicknesses, some with a slightly hard core, as if they were undercooked, but Zhang Xiaojing will get used to it I didn't feel anything bad either.Li Mi leaned over to watch Zhang Xiaojing take a few mouthfuls, and then picked up the chopsticks.

"You won't be eating the valley today?" Zhang Xiaojing was surprised.

"It's okay to eat some vegetarian food once in a while..." Li Mi put his arms around his sleeves, swallowed a few noodles, frowned after chewing a few times, his eyes were full of disbelief, and slowly raised his eyes to look at Tanqi.Zhang Xiaojing knew that his food was undercooked, so he smiled and said, "I don't know where you found the cook, whose skills are worse than those of the hawkers. You can't eat something good after all, I'll take you out to cook it some other day." Tooth fight..." Before Zhang Xiaojing finished speaking, Tan Qi kicked him from under the table, just as he was about to have a seizure, he saw Li Mi's ears turning red at some point.

"Don't eat, I'll ask the chef to make a few more bowls." Li Mi pursed her lips and stared at the table with low eyes.Zhang Xiaojing held down the bowl with one hand to prevent anyone from taking it away. He tilted his head and looked at Li Mi's face.The five Yan Luo eyes were very sharp, stretched out a finger and scraped off a little white powder from Li Mi's ear, and said strangely: "What is this?"

The fingertips brushed Li Mi's face, bringing up a string of red clouds that couldn't be suppressed. Li Mi quickly stretched out his sleeve and wiped his ears hard: "It's nothing, maybe I accidentally touched it just now..."

"...accidentally touched the flour?" Zhang Xiaojing's ending sounded upwards, twisting a thin trace of powder with his fingertips, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.Li Mi lost his voice instantly, and Zhang Xiaojing became even more certain that the bowls of "very poorly made" noodles in front of him were actually made by Li Mi's men.

"You..." Zhang Xiaojing was tongue-tied, his mind was full of Li Mi kneading dough in front of the case with his sleeves rolled up, "...you don't always say that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen... no , you actually know how to cook?...Why do you..." Zhang Xiaojing couldn't tell the whole story, and was kicked by Tanqi under the table.

Li Mi took a few deep breaths, as if his gaffe just now was an illusion, the old god answered in a down-to-earth way: "General Zhang's body is too acidic, I'll cook and make some alkaline noodles for you myself." I couldn't help but started to blush again, "I'm not good at craftsmanship, I made General Zhang laugh..."

Only then did Zhang Xiaojing suddenly realize that it was the little fox who saw that he was upset, coaxing him obliquely, his face immediately turned red, and the corners of his mouth nearly grinned to his ears.

For the first time, this is really the first time!Zhang Xiaojing's heart was full of drums and firecrackers, who else in this world has such an honor!Can Li Mi cook for herself? !Gone!Zhang Xiaojing is the only one! !No other branch!Why spend the night in the palace and be intimate with the prince. Does the prince have anything else besides drinking a few bowls of tea made by Li Bi? !Gone!The prince will never be able to eat the noodles made by Li Mi!

It's a pity that in front of Li Mi, Zhang Xiaojing didn't dare to laugh too much, so he could only press the bowl even tighter, for fear of being snatched away by someone.Li Mi looked at his face, and the shame that had been suppressed surfaced again, she pursed her lips tightly to try to calm down, but even her neck was almost red.

"Hey... hey you," Zhang Xiaojing smirked while holding the bowl, "Why didn't you say it earlier? Can I still dislike what you made?" Angry and warm at the same time, he said in a muffled voice, "...it's just a bowl of noodles, why bother to take credit..."

Zhang Xiaojing laughed again, his mouth was almost sour, thinking that his stinky face scared the fox last night, and he didn't know how early he got up today to toss the noodles.

"I thought you were hard-hearted, so you know I'm angry." Zhang Xiaojing smiled, and his eyes were soft, like the fertile soil in the lotus pond.

Li Mi rolled his eyes and took a look: "...I also thought you were a straight person, but I didn't expect you to eat it behind your back..." Li Mi hesitated, not embarrassed to say it.Zhang Xiaojing was not ashamed, and helped others to make up: "Jealous, yes, I am jealous, you were called into the palace urgently, I was your general but I couldn't follow, once I went, I wouldn't return for five days, and I didn't send a message to me. I didn’t know that you were safe, I’m afraid I will go to prison to look for you again.”

Li Mi knew that she was wrong, she scratched the dust with her fingers and said nothing.

Looking at people like that, Zhang Xiaojing was amused again: "Next time if this happens again, it won't be enough for a bowl of noodles."

"Let's not take this as an example," Li Mi said softly, turning his eyes to see Zhang Xiaojing's smiling face, "...Now the nobleman wants to promote a new law, and there are many obstacles from the right side, I really have no skills..."

"I understand," Zhang Xiaojing interrupted Li Mi helplessly, "I said, you go to ferry the common people, and I will only ferry you." His voice was low and hoarse, as if a stone had been thrown into a pool, causing ripples.

Li Mi was speechless for a while, and looked deeply into Zhang Xiaojing's eyes, the two glazed pupils were full of brilliance: "...Although I don't have the skills to separate myself, I will definitely have time to eat with you."

The strength of my shield cannot be trapped by anything, and the sharpness of my spear can trap everything. If he uses my spear to sink my shield, I will be defeated and defeated.
