Chapter 56
56. The Forbidden City Wall is deeply stationed in Yuma
Here, Pei Nianyu coaxed Ye Feng to sleep, and then he and his subordinates used the last two or three hours to conduct experiments in the big kitchen all night, and finally finalized the final plan for the winter solstice feast.
Seeing that the sky in the east was turning pale, Pei Nianyu took a quick bath to wash off the smokiness all over his body.However, after he asked the maids to take care of his appearance again, he stared at the two big dark circles under his fair face in the mercury mirror, feeling depressed.
He was originally fair and handsome, and coupled with thick blue-black eyes, others looked at him—he looked like he was overdoing it.
The problem is that if he really didn't sleep all night, it would be fine if he did something with Ye Feng in his arms, but he didn't get anything to eat, and he just went to work for his good brother.
In addition, because he was afraid of being questioned by Ye Feng, Pei Nianyu had no choice but to call Jiangxue:
"Cough, um, Jiang Xue, do you have powder or something like that? Let your master wipe it off. I'll cover my dark circles..."
Jiang Xue gloated a little:
"No, how could I have such a thing? This girl is naturally beautiful, and she never uses drawings to paint..."
Seeing that she was being presumptuous again, Xia Yao's expression quickly sank, she flicked the handkerchief in her hand, and said angrily:
"Jiang Xue! You can't even forget the rules!"
Even though Xia Yao and Jiang Xue had the same status in the mansion, Xia Yao, as Pei Nianyu's oldest former court lady, naturally would not be afraid of Jiang Xue, and she had never been afraid of her status as a shadow guard.
Jiang Xue relied on her master to manipulate her, and she was always a little unruly on weekdays.She is not afraid of her master, but she is only afraid of Aunt Xia who is ten years older than her.Hearing the words, he immediately faltered, made a face in embarrassment, and then shut up embarrassingly.
Xia Yao was in a bad mood, so she took out her dowry box with a face, and put some powder on Pei Nianyu.
"Forgive me, my lord. The crude things here are not suitable for my lord's status. I just need to respond to emergencies first."
"No problem."
Xia Yao's workmanship is exquisite and proficient, but she completely covered up Pei Nianyu's tired look in a short while, but there was no trace of whitewashing, just the same as usual.
He Qi on the roof saw that it was packed properly, so he got down and asked:
"Master, are you going to enter the palace now? Do you need to notify the accompanying guard of honor over there?"
"There's no need for Yi to fight. Let Yun Shao follow and help me fight, plus Ye Feng, these two are enough."
Xia Yao frowned and said:
"Let the servant girl go too, and I have to bring some clothes and accessories for the prince to wear at the banquet."
This makes sense, he can't enter the imperial dining room wearing a pro-dynasty uniform that shows his status...
"...That's right, let's add you."
Jiang Xue was not happy:
"Then it's better to let the subordinates go. It's only a day after entering the palace. Sister Xia Yao has no martial arts, so she must be very tired."
He Qi slapped her back with a slap:
"You have to be responsible for guarding the mansion. I followed the master into the palace, so you naturally have to take care of the house. If there is a problem, you are the only one to ask."
Pei Nianyu said:
"There are many rules in the palace, and you will feel uncomfortable even if you go there. It's better to let Xia Yao go. She has been in the palace for so many years, she has given face everywhere, it is very convenient to do things, and she will not be tired."
"Ok."
"As for Old He, you just order four shadow guards to follow, there is no need for more. You can rest assured that Xiao Sheng's shadow guards will be there after entering the palace. Besides, once you enter the palace, you will be surrounded by Li Han's attributes."It's not very comfortable to be under surveillance."
After the arrangements were made, Pei Nianyu turned his head and said:
"Let the mansion gate prepare the horses and chariots. I'll go and wake Ye Feng up."
"yes."
………………
Here, the sky is about to light up, which is the time when Lou Yefeng is usually sober.
Lou Yefeng opened his eyes as usual, saw the strange top of the bed and the tent, was stunned for a moment, then suddenly got up, and quickly got up, only to find that he was sleeping in the study.
He frowned and tried his best to think back, but the Anshenxiang was so high-grade that no trace of it could be noticed when he fell asleep.
In addition, it is always difficult for people to remember how he fell asleep, so he recalled it for a while, but he couldn't remember that he fell asleep while writing.
And from the looks of it, the master must have settled himself here.
Lou Yefeng clenched his fists, cursing himself that it was really useless, he could doze off even doing such a trivial matter, and in the end he made his master bother to take care of himself.
Could it be said that without internal energy, it is really useless?
Just as he was thinking, Pei Nianyu pushed the door open and saw Lou Yefeng's extremely ugly face at a glance, and asked involuntarily:
"what happened?"
Lou Yefeng really didn't want to tell the truth about the reason, because he knew that as soon as he uttered these words, the master would definitely comfort him in return, which made him appear to be hypocritical.
Pei Nianyu thought of the reason in seconds, and sighed:
"I let you sleep. It's just for you to rest for a while and recharge your energy. You don't have to think about it. You have to enter the palace with me today, and some of them will make you tired."
Only then did Lou Yefeng stop being entangled, he quickly got up and dressed, and tidied up.
After finishing the work, he suddenly thought about the unfinished work yesterday, so he asked:
"Master, what was left last night..."
Pei Nianyu was afraid that he would realize that he hadn't slept all night, so he hurriedly interrupted:
"Last night...you still have the nerve to talk about last night? It's the first time I know that you are not honest when you sleep. I want to move you, but you hold me like a ghost..."
After finishing speaking, he deliberately raised his arm:
"The evidence is still there!"
Lou Yefeng's face turned pale slightly, but he really couldn't remember what he did in his sleep.He had no choice but to lift up the master's sleeve slightly, with a look of wanting to see but not daring to look, he hesitated for a while before closing his eyes and opening the sleeve, that expression seemed to be about to go to the execution ground.
Then he saw the blue and black fingerprints on the master's wrist, and because of the lapse of one night, the surrounding area was swollen.
But who did not do it by himself?
After all... If others dared to do this to their master, they would have been pushed to the ground by a group of shadow guards and beaten violently.
Lou Yefeng quickly pleaded guilty:
"The subordinate has nothing to do, so I ask the master to punish him."
It's just...Looking at the miserable blue marks, Lou Yefeng couldn't tell whether he felt more guilty or more distressed.
Therefore, after the usual apology, he added another sentence by accident:
"Did the master take medicine? Now...does it still hurt?"
Pei Nianyu pursed her lips:
"It hurts. But... let Ye Feng kiss it and it won't hurt."
Lou Yefeng: "..."
Is this another opportunity for the master to tease me...
But in the end it was his fault, how could he bargain with the master.Kneeling on the ground like this, holding the master's hand, afraid of profanity, kissed a few times as lightly as water.
But for a long time, Lou Yefeng only felt the master's palm gradually warm in his hand, so he didn't dare to be greedy, fearing that this embarrassing thought would offend the master, he quickly let go.
Pei Nianyu knew it well, and didn't force it, he just said:
"Let's go."
…………
Outside the gate of the mansion, an official sedan chair and several fine horses were parked at the pegs, and a few people stood beside the car and waited.
Carrying a huge bag of clothes in her hand, Xia Yao looked up at the morning light that was already out of the clouds, and frowned slightly:
"Master...hasn't come yet, could it have been delayed by something?"
He Qi, dressed in a long sword, stood beside him, and said "hey" when he heard the words:
"It's expected, it's expected. Aunt Xia must not forget what the master is going to do."
Xia Yao: "..."
She really wanted to complain about her lord who was always cooing after having Ye Feng, but good manners prevented her from doing things like arranging the lord and him behind the scenes, so she kept her mouth shut sullenly.
He Qi patted her on the shoulder:
"Just get used to it, just get used to it. Why don't you learn from me, look at me, I've seen a lot, and now I'm a Buddha. You have the right to pretend that you didn't see what the master and the old building will do in the future."
"..."
After a while, the two finally arrived late.
Naturally, Xia Yao didn't say much, she just stood by the car and prepared to follow into the palace.
Unexpectedly, Pei Nianyu, Lou Yefeng, He Qi, and Yun Shao each lead a group of horses, and they all rolled onto the saddles.
Xia Yao looked at the car beside her:???
No, didn't the prince always go out by car before?
"My lord, why do you..."
Pei Nianyu shook his head:
"It's too stuffy in the car. It's not as comfortable as riding a horse, and you can go for a ride."
Xia Yao's expression was stiff:
"Then why did you order the car to be ready?"
Pei Nianyu took it for granted: "This is for you to sit, after all..."
The four of them turned their heads together, looked at her and said:
"—Only you don't know martial arts!"
"..."
Xia Yao looked at the expressions of all of them watching the show, and then looked at the car beside her, very entangled:
"How can this be, this is the prince's regulation..."
Pei Nianyu burst out laughing.Turning around, pulling the rein and saying:
"Then you can walk slowly behind by yourself, we are entering the palace!"
Xia Yao: "......???"
Why do you feel that the prince is becoming more and more unscrupulous...
Seeing that they really flattered them and left, she had no choice but to get into the car tremblingly.Afterwards, a shadow guard jumped down from the tree, and started to run very fast in the car.
…………
They entered through an inconspicuous small gate in the palace city. At this time, the palace was not opened, but Pei Nianyu showed his "as if I came in person" badge. Although the little eunuchs had never seen the prince, how dare they stop him?Pass without hindrance.
There were people from floor to floor in the palace to communicate, until Wu Bingzhong, the imperial eunuch under Pei Niancheng's seat, personally welcomed him to the west gate.
This Wu Bingzhong was a eunuch in charge of the Taihua Palace during the late Emperor's time, and he could be regarded as the late Emperor's confidant.After Pei Niancheng came to the throne, he didn't use his own people, but for some reason, he was promoted to be the first eunuch beside him. At that time, it even caused a lot of discussion in private among the court.
However, Pei Nianyu knew that his younger brother had a system in his hands, and it made sense to use anyone or not, so he didn't care about it.
"Eunuch Wu is polite. Is Your Majesty busy?"
Although Wu Bingzhong was old, he knew how favored Prince Yu was.So he didn't dare to be negligent, bowed down respectfully and said:
"Exactly, His Majesty is preparing for today's Winter Solstice Banquet, so he couldn't get away, so he specially sent an old slave to serve the prince."
"That way... I won't bother Your Majesty anymore. Eunuch Wu must know why I'm here today, so I'll take me directly to the imperial dining room. I came here in casual clothes, so I don't need to reveal my identity."
"Of course I know, His Majesty has given you an order. Please follow this old slave."
Xia Yao did not follow, and together with He Qi and the shadow guards, went back to the Bijing Hall where Pei Nianyu lived in the palace before to rest for a while.Pei Niancheng has never taken over the harem, so the rows of halls in the palace are naturally still empty.
On the other side, the three of Pei Nianyu walked diligently, and they walked near the imperial dining room in a short time.He just wanted to enter the front yard of the dining room, but was stopped at the long palace road.
I saw three shadow guards falling from the shadows nearby. The leader looked indifferent and reached out to stop them:
"The forbidden area in the palace, you can't enter without permission."
The imperial dining room is naturally one of the important places for the shadow guards to take precautions, and it is normal not to allow idlers to enter on weekdays.Anyone who wants to go in has to go through layers of investigation by the shadow guards.
However, Pei Nianyu was surprised when he saw the leading shadow guard:
"Hey, you're not that...that...sorry, who is that?"
Shadow Guard: "..."
This shadow guard is really familiar to him, Gein is the one who takes out food for Pei Niancheng every time he goes to the palace.After a few times, Pei Nianyu got a little familiar with him, and sometimes seeing him working hard, he would give him something delicious.
Lou Yefeng held his forehead and quietly reminded:
"His name is Fang Heng."
In order to make up for the embarrassment of forgetting his name, Pei Nianyu hastily greeted:
"Yes, it turned out to be Fang Heng. How about the sweet-scented osmanthus and hawthorn cake I brought back for you last time..."
Hearing what he said, Fang Heng's heart suddenly tightened.How can the rules of the shadow guard in King Yu Palace compare with the rules in the palace.When he went to the palace, he grabbed something to eat, which seemed normal to the shadow guards of their King Yu Palace.
However, at this moment, there are still two colleagues behind him, and there are several shadow guards hiding under the eaves beside him.If this is a chat with Pei Nianyu in full view... that would be a serious crime of colluding with foreign ministers and relatives in private.
Moreover, there are still divisions of crimes. Pei Nianyu is the direct brother of His Majesty, so he is directly the most serious one.
If Li Han is in a position like that, even though he is acquainted with King Yu, but there is no real "evidence of collusion", who is free to use this excuse to find fault with Li Han.
However, he, Fang Heng, is just one of the many shadow guards, and who would study the evidence carefully, as long as a few colleagues see it.Even if it is evidence.I'm afraid that if Pei Nianyu hadn't just left, he would have to be escorted to receive the punishment.
So Fang Heng was so anxious that his face turned cold, he drew his sword half out of its sheath, and shouted in a low voice:
"Stop! Please show the passing order or His Majesty's order, otherwise, you will be shot to death!"
Seeing the shadow guard's fierce "I don't know you at all" look, Pei Nianyu rubbed his stomach to the point of dying of laughter.
His waist badge, which was like my own presence, can pass anywhere in the palace, but Pei Nianyu was playing tricks at this moment, so he didn't take it out, and even took a step forward, looking at the trembling shadow guard who was sweating profusely,laughed:
"I'm going to go in like this, how are you doing?"
The author has something to say:
Pei Nianyu: The more I get to a place with strict rules, the more I want to make trouble. What should I do.jpg, Molesting a shadow guard is really delicious.jpg
