The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Chapter 16

Xiushui thought for a while, and said: "I see that the Lizheng Palace next to it has closed the gate early, presumably King Wu Cheng and His Highness the Second Highness returned to the palace together."

King Wu Cheng himself should be clear about whether the adopted son is his own son, so on weekdays unless there is an important matter to be dealt with in the imperial army, King Wu Cheng would not stay in the palace.And the Second Highness always liked to follow after Wu Cheng. If there was no special matter to do, he would stay wherever Wu Cheng stayed.

Looking at Xiao Yanzhi who was alone in front of him, Xiushui suddenly felt that Pei Ze was a little dishonest.

Your Highness has just moved into the palace, how uneasy is your heart?It's rare that King Wu Cheng has some kind of friendship with His Royal Highness, why can't King Wu Cheng stay in the palace to accompany His Royal Highness at such a time?Is Wucheng Prince's Mansion about to collapse or what?Does King Wu Cheng have to go back this time?

Xiushui secretly complained about Pei Ze in her heart, and Xiao Yanzhi also felt a little unhappy.

Even going back to the palace together?Is this a person who cannot live alone and must be together?Or did Xu Lishan not recognize the way out of the palace, so Pei Ze had to lead him out?

But after thinking about it, Xiao Yanzhi felt that the unhappiness in his heart was a bit unreasonable.

Pei Ze and Xu Lishan have been together since they were young, although Xu Lishan's manner of speaking does not look like a general, but Xiushui said that when the emperor seized the throne, Xu Lishan cooperated tacitly with Pei Ze on the battlefield and made great military exploits Well, the military medal has half of Xu Lishan's and half of Pei Ze's. This is a fateful friendship.

In Pei Ze's heart, matters related to him, even if their lives are at stake, are probably not as trivial as Xu Lishan's trivial matters, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yanzhi's thoughts suddenly stopped.

How is he comparing himself with Xu Lishan here?

Xiao Yanzhi curled his lips in annoyance, leaning on the square pillow a little sullenly.

Seeing that Xiao Yanzhi's expression turned cold, Xiushui asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, do you want to find King Wu Cheng? It's too late for Lian Sheng to go out of the palace to look for him now."

Xiao Yanzhi waved his hands and said in a muffled voice, "No need. Is Shaosheng on duty today?"

"Is Zhang Shaosheng? On duty, he's outside." Xiushui looked at Xiao Yanzhi's expression and said, "Should I ask him to come in?"

"En," Xiao Yanzhi nodded, and said, "Call Shao Sheng in, I don't need anyone here, you all go and rest."

"Yes." Unable to guess what Xiao Yanzhi was going to do, Xiushui only knew that following Xiao Yanzhi's words was the safest thing to do.

Not long after Xiushui left, Zhang Shaosheng entered Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom.

"Need me for something?" Zhang Shaosheng walked up to Xiao Yanzhi and stood still.

For Xiao Yanzhi's transformation into a prince, Zhang Shaosheng has never had a real feeling, especially Xiao Yanzhi's words and deeds are no different from when he was young, so Zhang Shaosheng always relaxes unconsciously in front of Xiao Yanzhi, and can't remember No matter how respectful or inferior, I can't think of etiquette.

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Zhang Shaosheng, and asked with a smile: "What? I have to have something to come to you? Or is it that Shaosheng is busy with work and doesn't have time to accompany me?"

Zhang Shaosheng smiled softly, sat down next to Xiao Yanzhi, and said, "Isn't my official business all your business? It's just that you are a prince now, so you should pay attention to your words and deeds on weekdays, and don't get too close to people like me , easy to provoke gossip."

This is the result of Zhang Shaosheng's thinking all night last night, now that the two are no longer childhood playmates, the way of getting along with the monarch and his subjects must be different from before, Xiao Yanzhi doesn't understand, Zhang Shaosheng, as a brother, must think carefully.

Xiao Yanzhi looked at Zhang Shaosheng sideways, and said with a smile: "A person like you? What kind of person are you? We are all poor boys who have rolled in the same mud pit. What is the difference between you and me?"

Zhang Shaosheng smiled bitterly, and said: "Today is different from the past. Besides... you are not a poor boy."

Xiao Yanzhi lowered his head, took a sip of the soup slowly, and said: "In this huge palace, you are the only person who is familiar with me and someone I can trust. You say these words to make me truly alone. one person?"

"In other words, that's not what I meant!" Zhang Shaosheng hurriedly explained when he heard this, "I'm just... just afraid of dragging you down. No matter how poor you have been in the past, now His Majesty takes you back to the palace. Having recognized your identity, from now on you will be the prince, and you will be named King of Shu by His Majesty, you..."

"Shaosheng," Xiao Yanzhi interrupted Zhang Shaosheng coldly, "Go out."

Zhang Shaosheng was startled, and after carefully looking at Xiao Yanzhi's expression, he realized that there was something wrong with Xiao Yanzhi's expression.

Did he say something wrong that made him angry?

"In other words?"

Xiao Yanzhi raised his eyes, looked at Zhang Shaosheng with a smile, and said: "I was bored at first, so I wanted to ask Shaosheng to come in and talk, but now I suddenly fell asleep again."

Zhang Shaosheng looked at Xiao Yanzhi suspiciously, there was no trace of sleepiness in Xiao Yanzhi's bright eyes, obviously Xiao Yanzhi was really angry.

Zhang Shaosheng understands Xiao Yanzhi's temper. Although this person always has a smiling face to show others, his temper is not very good. Once he is annoyed, he won't listen to anything he says. He can only talk to him after he gets angry. explain.

So Zhang Shaosheng stood up, said a few words of concern, and left Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom.

After Zhang Shaosheng left, Xiao Yanzhi put down the soup bowl and extinguished the candle lamp, but did not move.

Originally thought it was a surprise to meet Zhang Shaosheng in this deep palace, Xiao Yanzhi would not involve Zhang Shaosheng in those dirty things, just thought that there would be someone in Wanchun Palace who knew his past and understood him When people are around, they can occasionally let go of their guard and have a chat together, but it seems that as long as they enter this palace, things will not always develop as he thought.

Here Xiao Yanzhi was feeling lost in the darkness, while Pei Ze over there was also a little restless in Wucheng Palace.

After going to court today, Pei Ze, who had nothing to do, went back to Prince Wucheng's mansion habitually, asked about what happened in the mansion recently, checked a few shops under his name, and sent them to the mansion. The letter invitation, write a reply, and the day will pass.

After dinner, standing in front of the study window and looking at the night outside, Pei Ze suddenly remembered Xiao Yanzhi who would suffer from insomnia in the palace. Thinking of this, Pei Ze became a little worried.

I wonder if Xiao Yanzhi can sleep tonight...

Seeing Pei Ze staring out of the window in a daze, Shi Li'an, the head of the palace, thought that Pei Ze was disturbed by political affairs, so he asked a lot: "Does the lord have something on his mind?"

Pei Ze came back to his senses, pondered for a moment, and asked Li An, "If a person with insomnia can only sleep next to someone, what does that mean?"
