The prince is not doing his job [traveling]

Chapter 25

"Your Highness, are you awake?"

Outside the door of the East Wing, Lian Sheng and Xiushui looked at each other in confusion.

Why hasn't His Highness woke up today?

Xiao Yanzhi in the room came back to his senses, jumped over Pei Ze and got off the bed, grabbed Pei Ze's clothes and threw them under the bed.

"You go down too!" After whispering to Pei Ze, Xiao Yanzhi walked towards the door of the room.

Naturally, Pei Ze knew how much commotion would be caused if he was discovered. Although he was dissatisfied, he still rolled under the bed neatly.

Seeing that Pei Ze was hiding, Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, put on a faint smile, and opened the door of the east wing.

"Xiu Shui is here too?"

Xiao Yanzhi turned around and went back into the house, Lian Sheng and Xiushui also led others to follow in.

Xiushui still led the maids to make the bed, while Lian Sheng took someone to wait for Xiao Yanzhi to wash and change clothes.

"Your Highness, is this just getting up?" Lian Sheng asked curiously while arranging Xiao Yanzhi's clothes.

Glancing under the bed, Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Yes, if you hadn't come to shout, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wake up."

Lian Sheng smiled and said, "That's good. His Highness got up early in the past two days after entering the palace, and the slaves were worried that His Highness would not be able to sleep well in a different environment."

Glancing under the bed again, Xiao Yanzhi replied Lian Sheng: "Fortunately, it's just that I got used to getting up early when I was at home, and I slept soundly today, probably because I talked too long with Father last night."

"After returning to Wanchun Palace, the slaves also chatted with His Highness more, so that His Highness can sleep more deeply."

Xiao Yanzhi smiled.

Suddenly remembering that Pei Ze also had to go to greet the emperor in the morning, and then go to the morning court together, Xiao Yanzhi glanced under the bed for the third time, and asked Lian Sheng, "Is the emperor up yet?"

"It should have started," Lian Sheng replied, "I just saw Master Zhao enter His Majesty's bedroom."

"Then let's go." Just as everything was ready, Xiao Yanzhi raised his foot and walked out, "Xiushui, go to the small kitchen of the Hall of Erasness to see if you can make some convenient breakfast, together with the two Highnesses and We did it together for King Wu Cheng."

"Yes, Your Highness." Upon receiving the order, Xiushui speeded up the speed of tidying up the bed, and she did it in a short while, leading a few maids to leave in a hurry.

Hearing that there were no more footsteps near the East Wing, Pei Zecai rolled out from under the bed with a depressed expression.

He can't get any benefits, why on earth does he have to suffer this crime?

Putting his clothes on casually, Pei Ze looked out the door, then slipped away through the back window of the East Wing, avoiding the patrolling guards, and returned to Daji Hall.

Inside the Daji Hall, Xu Ren was guarding the door again for some reason, and when he saw the disheveled Pei Ze, his eyes widened in astonishment.

"My lord, you... are you going...to talk to some concubine, what?"

"If you talk too much, your tongue will be pulled out!" Pei Ze gave Xu Ren a hard look, strode into the main room of Daji Palace, and quickly washed and changed his clothes.

Xu Ren kept his mouth shut, and honestly helped Pei Ze pack his clothes, and couldn't help but say a few more words when he sent Pei Ze away.

"My lord, next time you do that, come back earlier, it's not good for His Majesty to catch you."

Pei Ze's footsteps stopped abruptly, and he turned to stare at Xu Ren.

Xu Ren hurriedly shut his mouth, lowered his head and acted obediently: "My lord, it's going to be too late to greet you."

Pei Ze snorted coldly and strode away.

Naturally, Pei Ze was the last one to arrive at Liangyi Hall. As soon as he entered, Xiao Yanzhi, Xu Lishan and Xu Liqian all looked at him.

Pei Ze sneaked a glance at Xiao Yan, strode forward pretending to be calm, and knelt down to greet the emperor.

The emperor, who was changing clothes behind the screen, heard Pei Ze's voice and asked curiously, "Pei Ze, you always come with your second child, why are you so late today?"

"Accidentally fell asleep, please forgive me, Your Majesty." It is true that I accidentally slept, even though I slept on the bed in the east wing of the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction.

Hearing this explanation, the emperor chuckled twice: "It's rare for you to be careless. Get up and sit down. If you say it carefully, let someone make breakfast, eat some, and you won't have to live with me hungry." One morning."

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Your Highness." After answering, Pei Ze returned to his seat and sat down.

Xu Lishan gently bumped Pei Ze's elbow with his elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Have you slept?"

"En." Pei Ze nodded.

Although Xu Lishan felt that the "sleeping" incident should not have happened to Pei Ze, but since Pei Ze said so, Xu Lishan couldn't say "I doubt you" explicitly, but secretly guessed what Pei Ze did because of it. Just fell asleep.

After the emperor changed his clothes, the palace people brought breakfast in due course.

Although Xiao Yanzhi's order was to make simple and convenient food, the cooks in the palace didn't dare to take it seriously. It was just a bowl of porridge with a lot of good ingredients in it, and it was served with delicate congee. side dishes.

After taking two mouthfuls of porridge, the emperor suddenly said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in four days, right? Have you decided what to do?"

The imperial court has a day off on Mid-Autumn Festival. Although it is a vacation, for Xu Lishan and the three of them, whether this holiday is the same as if it is not. There is an emperor's family banquet in the palace on that day, and they all want to participate, but they don't need to wake up. It's just too early.

And Xiao Yanzhi didn't have any plans, raised his head to look around, then lowered his eyes and continued to drink porridge.

Xu Liqian first opened his mouth to answer the emperor, "I want to invite Brother Dahuang for a stroll in Chang'an City, and then find a place to hold a reception banquet for Brother Dahuang."

"Looking for another place?" The emperor looked at Xu Liqian with a smile, "What place do you want to find?"

Xu Liqian glanced at Xiao Yanzhi, said with a smirk, "That depends on what kind of place the Great Emperor likes, anyway, we have any place in Chang'an City."

"Looking at you, it seems that you have been to many places." The emperor teased.

Xu Liqian chuckled and didn't explain in detail. It's good for men to understand this kind of thing.

The emperor smiled and didn't ask any further questions.

"You and I thought about going together. What about the second child? What are your plans?"

When Xu Liqian said that he wanted to take Xiao Yanzhi to visit Chang'an, Xu Lishan became anxious. Although he didn't have this plan at first, but after hearing Xu Liqian's words, he knew that this was a good opportunity to close the relationship with Xiao Yanzhi.However, in front of the emperor, he could only keep his anxiety in his heart, and finally heaved a sigh of relief when the emperor asked.

"My son thinks so too."

The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Pei Ze again, and asked, "Isn't that what you think, Pei Ze?"

Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan, nodded and said, "I really think so too."

The emperor laughed loudly, and said, "In other words, I didn't expect you to be so rare? Then what do you plan to do?"

Xiao Yanzhi glanced around and said, "My son, I haven't thought about how to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Why didn't you think about it?" The emperor asked curiously, "Then how did you live in the past?"

Xiao Yanzhi said with a smile: "The holidays are the best time for business, and my son hasn't celebrated much in the past few years."

"En..." After pondering for a moment, the emperor smiled and said, "Then let them lead you around the city of Chang'an. Don't even think about going to those smoky places with words, you will give me all the time at night." Come back to the palace, this welcome banquet will be held in the palace."

"Yes." The four of them agreed in unison.
