The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Chapter 98

After that presumptuous and noisy evening, Xiao Yanzhi couldn't wait until dawn the next day. He just went to the Liu Mansion to share dinner with Xiao Ren'an and the others. Yan Zhi and Pei Ze led the people to leave Suzhou.

Returning to Chang'an quickly, although Xiao Yanzhi knew that Xu Lishan would not do anything to him and Pei Ze who had left Beijing without authorization, Xiao Yanzhi felt that he should go to the palace to be accompanied by Xu Lishan Not one.

So after returning to Chang'an in a hurry, Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze entered the palace directly without going back to Prince Wucheng's mansion for a rest.

In the imperial study room, Xu Lishan, who was reading the memorials alone in distress, heard the report that Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze had returned to Beijing and had directly entered the palace, the breath that had been suffocating in his heart rushed straight to his forehead.

"Tell them to come in for me!" Throwing the memorial in his hand, Xu Lishan glared at the door of the imperial study room with vicious eyes before he saw anyone, "Let everyone back down, there is no need for people to serve here."

Ying An immediately led the maids and eunuchs who were waiting in the imperial study to leave, and when they left, she told Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze that they could come in, and even gave them a wink.

Xiao Yanzhi understood, gave Ying An a reward, and entered the imperial study with Pei Ze one after the other, but before he could stand in front of Xu Lishan, he heard Xu Lishan's roar.

"You two still know to come back?!"

Pei Ze felt that he had already informed Xu Lishan that he was leaving the capital. Although he left without waiting for Xu Lishan's permission, Xu Lishan wanted to agree anyway, so he had nothing to feel guilty about.

But Xiao Yanzhi felt a little sorry for Xu Lishan. After all, since Xu Lishan came to the throne, he and Pei Ze didn't do anything serious for Xu Lishan. After a long trip to Turkic, they even offended the court because of their love affair. Even Xiao Yanzhi began to feel that Xu Lishan was unlucky enough to have two brothers like them.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, and said with a flattering smile, "I'm sorry, sorry, I ran to Jiangnan in a moment of excitement."

Xu Lishan squinted his eyes and shouted: "You said you two have been together for a few years? Don't you know what kind of virtue each other is? How can you still quarrel like this? When I first met, I didn't see any of you quarreling. Get out of Beijing!"

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corner of his mouth, and his gaze unconsciously drifted upwards: "I will try my best to restrain myself from now on."

"It's so annoying!" Xu Lishan was speechless suddenly, and then threw an imperial decree to Xiao Yanzhi, "You two take a look, if there is no objection, I will read it to me tomorrow morning."

imperial decree?Why show them?

Looking at Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhi unfolded the imperial decree, and was startled when he saw it.

"Xu Lishan, are you crazy?" With that said, Xiao Yanzhi threw the imperial decree to Pei Ze.

It's not easy for everyone to acquiesce in the fact that he and Pei Ze are together. Why does Xu Lishan want to marry him?

"Otherwise, what should we do?" Xu Lishan stared at Xiao Yanzhi, "Wucheng Prince's Mansion for the two of you is fine, as long as you close the door and thank you, no one can do anything to you, and the only one who suffers is to deal with everyone for you Li An, but I can’t thank guests behind closed doors in this palace. They have to tell me every morning, and at the end of each memorial, they have to add a paragraph of persuasion to urge you to get married. I have been in charge of the suffering of the people all day long. Tired enough, who has the spare time to care if the two of you get married or not?"

After reading the edict, Pei Ze only nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, not bad."

Xiao Yanzhi kicked Pei Ze, and then said to Xu Lishan worriedly: "But those ministers don't want him to marry me. If your imperial decree is issued, they won't make more noise?"

Xu Lishan pursed his lips and said: "It's rare that you still know to worry about me. Don't worry, you two just left Beijing inexplicably one after the other, so I told them that you couldn't bear King Wu Cheng to let the world down, so you left sadly. But King Wu Cheng is willing to give up the world for you, so he followed, and most likely he will never come back."

"So...they compromised?" Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

It can't be that easy, can it?

Xu Lishan nodded and said, "Well, they compromised. Compared with the illegal thing of letting two men marry, those virtuous ministers are more afraid that Tang State lacks two talents for governing the country, especially one of them leads the army to fight No one is invincible, one's position in diplomacy is irreplaceable, if he really thinks about the future of Tang, no one would want to lose the two of you. What's more... the story of the two of you has been spread among the people, of course it is not All supportive, but nothing irreparable."

Although he was a bit alarmist when he told the ministers about the relationship between Xiao Yanzhi and Pei Ze, the ministers were probably frightened by Pei Ze's leaving without authorization. After all, in the past ten years, Pei Ze has never They all put state affairs first, and this was the first time he ignored state affairs without even a word of explanation. It can be seen that Xiao Yanzhi was more important to him than Tang State.Knowing this, no one would dare to challenge Pei Ze's choice.

"But..." Xiao Yanzhi still had concerns, but Pei Ze didn't let him speak out.

Stretching out his arms to hook Xiao Yanzhi's neck and strangle him, Pei Ze said in a deep voice, "It's fine if he says it's okay, what are you worried about?"

Even if he didn't have the experience of being an emperor, Xu Lishan was once a general, so he would never do anything he was not sure about.

"Or do you have any objections to this marriage?" Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi with burning eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi turned his head and looked at Pei Ze, and suddenly said after a while, "Yes, I have."

As soon as the words fell, Pei Ze's face immediately turned cold, and Xu Lishan was also a little panicked.

Showing a smile, Xiao Yanzhi said again: "Will you marry me or will I marry you?"

Hearing this, Pei Ze and Xu Lishan rolled their eyes at Xiao Yan.

On the second day, Pei Ze went to court in a refreshed manner early in the morning. He didn't stay in bed, and he didn't need anyone to remind him. He even had a happy face.

After entering the palace, going to court, and participating in the daily government affairs discussions more seriously than usual, Pei Ze happily accepted the imperial decree of bestowing marriage.

When he retreated from the court, Pei Ze was surrounded by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.On normal days, Pei Ze must have forced these people back with a threatening manner, and then quickly withdrew, but today Pei Ze is much kinder, and even looked at the ministers expectantly, making the ministers have to bite the bullet He sent his blessings with a smile on his face, but the congratulatory speech that he had racked his brains for was still awkward to hear, but seeing that Pei Ze was happy to hear it, the ministers tolerated it.

Back at Prince Wucheng's mansion, Pei Ze grabbed Xiao Yanzhi and went to the garden in the backyard. He sat in the pavilion with Xiao Yanzhi in his arms, and repeatedly studied the imperial decree with only a few hundred words. I couldn't stop rolling my eyes.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly took the imperial decree from Pei Ze's hand: "Your smile is so annoying!"

He never knew that Pei Ze was such a person who loved to laugh, he had been staring at some imperial decree and giggling for half an hour!

"Don't make trouble," Pei Ze took back the edict, "I haven't finished reading it yet."

Hearing this, the veins on Xiao Yanzhi's forehead twitched.

"Then you can watch here yourself, I'll go find Sister Chunyue."

As he said that, Xiao Yanzhi stomped on Pei Ze's instep, and when Pei Ze felt the pain, he let go of his hand, stood up and ran away in a hurry.

Pei Ze stared fiercely at Xiao Yanzhi's back from the pain, but laughed again in a blink of an eye, and sat back leaning against the pillar in the pavilion, reading the imperial edict with a smile.

Originally thought that he and Yanzhi could only live a half-life like this, Yanzhi never cared about these common customs, maybe he would think it didn't matter, but he really wanted to give Yanzhi a title, although such a title is very important to a man It seems ridiculous to say it, but since they are in love, they still want to be together in a legitimate way, and want to be more calm and confident.

Looking at the imperial decree again, Pei Ze suddenly felt a little guilty towards Xu Lishan.

Before that, he seemed to be a little cold and a little too much towards Xu Lishan... Well, let's make it up in the future.

On the other side, Xiao Yanzhi who was running away was originally going to find Xiao Chunyue, but he ran into Li An on the way. Seeing Li An standing motionless, as if he was looking intently, Xiao Yanzhi walked quietly to Li An. Behind An, following Li An's line of sight, he found that the person Li An was looking at was Xiao Chunyue.

Xiao Yanzhi's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand to pat Li An's shoulder.

Li An shivered, and when he turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, he was still a little dazed.

"My lord." After sorting out his mood and expression, Li An bowed to Xiao Yanzhi.

Glancing at Xiao Chunyue in the distance, Xiao Yanzhi said, "Is it convenient to take a step to talk?"

Li An was taken aback, then nodded.

Taking Li An to a small road where few people passed by, Xiao Yanzhi asked, "What happened between you and Sister Chunyue?"

When he left, the two of them were fine, and Li An also planned to pursue Sister Chunyue, but when he came back, the two seemed to have just met, and they just nodded and slapped each other when they met in the mansion He said hello, and then they all hurried past without saying a word.

Li An smiled wryly, and said, "I have let down the young master's expectations, and my subordinates seem to have screwed up."

"What's going on?" Xiao Yanzhi frowned.

Only then did Li An tell Xiao Yanzhi what happened during the absence of Xiao Yanzhi. Xiao Yanzhi was stunned for a while after hearing this, and finally he could only sigh.

"Because I brought them up, Ren'an and the others mostly act like me, but my sister's current strength does not come from her natural strength. She just experienced too much suffering, so she can deal with it skillfully."

Li An lowered his head and said, "This subordinate understands, but it's a bit late."

He originally thought that if he firmly expressed his attitude and forced Xiao Chunyue a little bit harder, Xiao Chunyue would have the courage to take this step, but he didn't expect Xiao Chunyue to shrink back directly. When you don't know your mind.

"Forget it, it's probably because of destiny." Xiao Yanzhi patted Li An's shoulder, "Go and do your work."

He couldn't persuade Li An to try to pursue Sister Chunyue again, and he couldn't persuade Sister Chunyue to take the initiative to tear down the high wall in her heart and bravely face the possible harm. Others can't say anything about emotional matters.

With his back to Xiao Yanzhi, Li An suddenly said loudly: "My lord, I will wait for her."

Xiao Yanzhi's footsteps stopped, he turned around and looked at Li An's back suspiciously: "Are you waiting for her?"

"I'll wait for her." Li An turned around and looked at Xiao Yanzhi firmly. "If she thinks this is fine now, then so be it. Even if I don't get a response, it won't stop me from loving her. If One day she is willing to take one step for me, then I will run ten steps to meet her."

Xiao Yanzhi frowned: "Will you always love her?"

Li An said: "My lord, please forgive me, I can't guarantee forever, but as long as I still love her, I will not give up."

Xiao Yanzhi asked again: "Then what if she fell in love with someone else in the end? What if she took steps to run towards someone else in the end?"

Li An smiled and said, "Then I...send her to get married!"

Xiao Yan was stunned, then looked at Li An with firm eyes, didn't know what to say, opened and closed his mouth, and sighed after a while.

"Don't be too hard on yourself."

Li An didn't answer, bowed to Xiao Yanzhi, turned and left.
