Chapter 16
"Huh?" Wen Xing didn't react for a while, "Has the Emperor quasi-His Royal Highness left the palace?"
Xie Yi smiled innocently, his eyes full of anticipation for outings.He nodded and said happily: "I have been begging my father for a long time!"
After all, Xie Yi is still in the playful grade, but he has been restrained by the towering palace walls and the heavy prince's clothes for a long time.
Wen Xing played his role perfectly, with a gentle smile flickering in his eyes, he pursed his lips lightly and said: "Then I will definitely sweep the bed and wait."
Xie Yi smiled, turned his head and continued to eat, his movements were much lighter.
Wen Xing stopped talking, and glanced at the third prince who hastily retracted his gaze, the corners of his lips slightly raised.
The third prince Xie Qi was about the same age as the second prince Xie Lian, and was born to a concubine of Emperor Anlong whose background was second only to the empress.Xie Qi is the main supporter of Xie Yi's henchmen in the court.
Xie Yi is not stupid, as a prince, he can naturally see Xie Qi's hostility, but he wants to say this in front of Xie Qi, his intention can be imagined.
The weak Xie Wan used to be Xie Yi's biggest weakness, now that this weakness has collapsed, his hidden fangs will gradually be revealed.
Tomorrow is bound to stage a good show.
Wen Xing, who had followed the rules for five full years, was forced by reality, and finally tore up his original face and put on a brand new disguise.
Until Xie Yi leaves the teacher, he will exist as a tool for his advancement.

On the next day, Wen Xing, who rarely slept so late, just woke up, and was almost scared to death by Xie Yi who was sitting beside his bed shaking his feet.
Xie Yi noticed the movement behind him, and didn't think there was anything wrong with his presence here, so he laughed and said, "Are you awake?"
Wen Xing swallowed, forced a smile with difficulty, and asked, "Your Highness, you... came really early."
"Is it very early?" Xie Yi tilted his head, seemingly puzzled, "Gu thought it was too late."
Judging from the royal family's daily schedule, Chen Shi is indeed getting late.
Wen Xing didn't explain anymore, he got up and walked to the table to extinguish the candle that had been burning all night, and called Yun Nian over by the way.
Xie Yi, who had nothing to do, sat on the edge of the bed without moving. Seeing that Wen Xing had just blown out the candle at this time, he asked curiously, "Don't you turn off the candle before going to sleep?"
Hearing this, Wen Xing's eyes flickered with his back to Xie Yi, and the dark cell once again appeared in his mind.
He pursed his lips lightly, but did not answer.
Just at this time, Yun Nian brought the washing utensils, Wen Xing calmed down his mood, smiled again, looked back and said to Xie Yi: "I have to wash up first, please wait a while, Your Highness."
I don't know if he noticed something, Xie Yi only replied with a nasal voice sullenly.
Wen Xing also stopped talking, and after washing at the usual speed, he walked to the shelf in front of the bed and took off his light blue coat and put it on.
Wen Xing, who is at the age of curly hair, has lost his immature appearance as a child. There is a three-point smile in his pair of brown eyes, and his delicate face highlights his kindness.The three thousand black silk was tied up with a blue headband, hanging obediently behind her, and the light blue coat was embroidered with simple yet elegant curly cloud patterns.
Xie Yi stared at him blankly, recalling that figure from his previous life in a trance.
At that time, Wen Xing also often liked to wear light blue clothes, but compared to now, he who had never practiced martial arts in his previous life was more frail.
Seeing Xie Yi staring blankly at him, Wen Xing raised his eyebrows lightly, and called out in a low voice, "Your Highness?"
Xie Yi suddenly pulled back his thoughts, pulled out a smiling face, and praised: "Ah Xing, you are so beautiful!"
Wen Xing accepted Xie Yi's compliment with a smile, and asked: "Can Your Highness have breakfast?"
"Not yet." Xie Yi shook his head obediently, "Gu...I want to eat at the restaurant you took me to last time!"
Hearing that Xie Yi had changed his name, Wen Xing quickly reacted, and said softly: "Then please go with your subordinates, Young Master."
"Yeah!" Xie Yi replied in a good mood, got up and patted his slightly wrinkled clothes.
Wen Xing took a step forward, bent down and straightened his clothes for him.
Today's Xie Yi changed back to a white one, and the hem of the clothes was embroidered with lifelike bamboo leaves with thin golden threads.Because he grew up late, and Wen Xing was accustomed to martial arts, at this time he was a head shorter than Wen Xing, more like a pair of brothers than the master.
After tidying up, Wen Xing straightened up and looked at Xie Yi's attire at this time, and after confirming that there was nothing too rude, he felt relieved and led him out.
As the end of the new year approaches, Zhang'an City in Chenshi is already bustling with joy, and the faces of the people passing by are full of joy, as if they are telling the good mood of family reunion.
Five years later, Meiniang's shop is still located on the only road between Wen Mansion and Fei Mansion, lively but not noisy.
"Wen Xing?" Mei Niang was surprised when she saw him, then she narrowed her eyes with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?"
Wen Xing smiled, and replied: "Everything is fine, thank you, Mei Niang, for your concern. Today is my young master's request to come to your place for breakfast, please trouble you."
Hearing Wen Xing mentioning "Young Master", Mei Niang glanced at the child beside him, waved her hands hastily and said, "Don't bother, don't bother, you go in and sit down, it will be ready soon."
Wen Xing said "Thank you" gently, and walked in with Xie Yi and sat down.
Xie Yi stared at Mei Niang's busy back, thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" Wen Xing asked in a low voice seeing that his expression was unclear.
However, Xie Yi frowned slightly, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing, I just think she looks familiar."
Wen Xing thought it was because he forgot that he had been here before, so he didn't think much about it, just smiled and said nothing.
A breakfast was quickly settled, and Xie Yi cheered up and wandered around Zhang'an City with great interest. When he came across something interesting, he clamored to buy it—and it was all Wen Xing's money. .
Thanks to Wen Xing's understanding of Xie Yi's temperament at this time, he specially brought some extra money.
"My lord, is it enough?" Wen Xing held a bunch of messy things in his arms, showing helplessness, "No matter how many things there are, the subordinates won't be able to carry them."
Only then did Xie Yi stop walking for most of the day, turned his head and looked at him with pity, and said, "Well, that's fine."
Just when Wen Xing wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Xie Yi raised his hand and called a shadow guard hiding in the dark, asking him to take all the things in his arms.
The corner of Wen Xing's mouth twitched.Isn't that how shadow guards are used?
Xie Yi didn't seem to have this awareness, and impatiently urged the shadow guard to hurry up.Thanks to the shadow guard being obedient enough, he really sped up his movements.
When his arms were empty, Wen Xing smiled at the shadow guard and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The shadow guard stared at Wen Xing for a moment, and then quickly moved away, without saying anything, and retreated into the dark.
Seeing his clumsier figure than when he appeared, Wen Xing looked at Xie Yi again, and raised his eyebrows lightly.
Xie Yi pulled out a smile, which seemed innocent but implied a deep meaning. "Ah Xing, is there any place in Zhang'an City that is more lively? I want to go!"
Wen Xing thought for a while, and said, "Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and my subordinates know one of the busiest places today."
What he was referring to was a river bank called Changyuan River.
There is a big banyan tree near the Changyuan River that never dries up all year round. Every day before New Year’s Eve, many people gather under the big banyan tree to buy a long and thin piece of red cloth to write down their New Year’s wishes and hang it on the banyan tree.
However, this is really a non-governmental activity, and few of our children would join in the fun, so Wen Xing only knew about it, but never really participated in it.
Xie Yi seemed quite interested, and couldn't wait to urge Wen Xing to lead the way.
Wen Xing shook his head helplessly and chuckled, there was no trace of impatience in his eyes, they were as soft as a puddle of clear water.
"Young master, please go with your subordinates." His voice has long since lost the crispness of a young man, elegant and friendly, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
Xie Yi laughed and walked side by side with him.
The Changyuan River was not far away, and the two of them had heard loud voices before they had walked a few steps.The people who came and went around him also hid more and more.After turning around a few alleys, the first thing that catches the eye is the dense but not crowded crowd.
The literati are reciting poems on the shore, while the merchants and hawkers are hawking and selling not far away, and the couples and children gather around the banyan tree to pray for the New Year...
The seemingly different circles blend into the same scene, harmonious and peaceful.
Seeing this, Wen Xing stretched out his hand to hold Xie Yi - the more crowded the place, the easier it is to get lost, not to mention that Xie Yi was leaving the palace for the first time, and everything around him was too strange.
Xie Yi, who was about to grab Wen Xing's sleeve and let him take him there, felt the warmth of his palm, and suddenly froze in place.
"There are a lot of people here, so as not to be scattered by the crowd." Wen Xing explained in a low voice, "I hope that Your Highness will not blame the humble minister for overstepping the rules."
He paused for a while, but didn't hear Xie Yi's answer, so he called softly again. "Young master?"
"Hush. To the left." Xie Yi stopped Wen Xing's plan to speak again.
Wen Xing sneaked a glance to the left according to his words, and saw a man in black standing not far away, who seemed to be secretly observing them as well.
He withdrew his gaze, raised his brows lightly, pretended to be discussing something with Xie Yi, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Is it someone from the Third Highness?"
"It should be." Xie Yi finished these three words quickly, raised his finger to the banyan tree behind the man in black, "Shall we go there? I want to pray too!"
Wen Xing collected the rest of his thoughts, said "Okay" indulgently, and said, "How about going to the stall next to it to buy a couple of red cloths first?"
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at the stall next to the man.
Xie Yi nodded and said cheerfully, "Well, it's all up to Ah Xing."
Wen Xing smiled, and while paying attention to the man in black, he pulled Xie Yi over.
Xu Shi really had a ghost in his heart. When the man saw them walking in his direction, he dodged to the other side - but he only went to the other side and did not leave.
Wen Xing watched him go further away, slowed down his pace, and asked in a low voice: "That shadow guard has already been dumped, what if he picks a chance to make a move?"
Just now when Wen Xing brought Xie Yi over, he made a lot of twists and turns, just to get rid of that stupid shadow guard according to Xie Yi's wishes.
Xie Yi didn't seem too worried, and smiled slightly.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't Ah Xing still here?"
