Taishi

This tavern is really small, it's a little small, but it's clean inside.

The waiter came up to greet us warmly: "Two guest officers, please." After finishing speaking, the waiter's eyes inadvertently fell on the hands of the two of us.

Yes, still holding hands together.

Nervously stretched, I took my hand out of Yuanyi's hand and returned it here without silver 300 taels. I explained: "My friend has such a habit of holding hands since he was a child, ahaha..."

Silly for a while, the shop waiter retreated with a strange expression, and Yuan Yi sat down by the window with a blank expression.

Knowing that I overreacted just now and might offend Yuan Yi, I sat down and smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Your Highness, I was afraid that if I didn't explain something, it would affect His Highness's reputation."

In fact, some things have passed by pretending not to know anything about the past. I don’t know where I made a mistake today, so I use this kind of embarrassing thing to explain it.

Yuan Yi poured himself a cup of tea, drank his eyes and looked out of the window without saying a word. Just when I thought Yuan Yi would not speak, he hit the nail on the head with a few words: "Didn't the grand master see that the waiter in the shop didn't know me at all?" Is it?"

Indeed, the waiter in that shop neither knew Yuanyi nor Ben Taishi.

The underlying meaning of Yuan Yi's words is obvious, this king is not stupid, so don't take me for a fool.

……

When the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, the waiter in the store appeared in time and broke the silence: "Two guests, this is the special wine and dish in the store, please try it."

Yuan Yi bowed his head slightly as an answer.

The night wind blew through the aroma of the vegetables and wine, and my nose was filled with the aroma of the vegetables and wine. I was overwhelmed and I had already forgotten the previous unhappiness: "Your Highness, the wine and vegetables smell very good, let's eat it while it's hot."

After listening, Yuan Yi picked up the most tender piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in the bowl with extremely elegant movements. My eyes were lost for a moment.

Because the fish bowl is mine!

After a moment of silence, I decided to eat with chopsticks: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"The grand master's brain is not working well recently, so he needs to eat more fish to replenish his brain."

I raised my head, and Yuan Yi happened to raise his head too. A smile flashed across his eyes and turned into a shower of stars in my eyes.

He has a nice smile.

After a meal in a daze, we decided to go to the suburbs for some fresh air.

This time, they didn't go back home to ride a horse. The two rode in the carriage together and came to the suburbs not long after.

The breeze and sweeping blow away the bad mood of the day, and we stood shoulder to shoulder looking at the starry sky outside the carriage.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Yi took out a jade flute from his sleeve. The jade flute was so clear and clear that it was a rare beautiful jade. Yuan Yi raised his arm and the clear sound of the flute slowly swayed in the air.

Yuan Yi's quiet eyebrows bloomed quietly in the night wind, and his slender fingers moved nimbly on the flute, and the sound of the flute continued to spread around with his movements.

The wind is blowing gently, the grass is like washing, and a few leaves are falling with the wind in the rustling sound, which is a bit like the willows blowing the dike and drunk with spring smoke.

The sound of the flute is clear and melodious, but it always feels a bit desolate. After the song, I couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness is worried about the marriage of the Qiang people."

After receiving the jade flute, Yuanyi turned around and looked at me, his phoenix eyes were cool: "Isn't the Grand Master not bothered?"

I bowed my head and seriously thought about the meaning of Yuan Yi's words, but the longer I thought about it, the more I didn't know what to say.

He is asking if I am not bothered about his marriage with the Qiang people? !

The wind blowing over Yuanyi's long sleeves swayed a few leaves: "Of course, the grand master doesn't need to worry about my king's affairs."

When he said this, Yuan Yi's eyes were very calm, but there was obviously some cold mist on his face, and it seemed that he was a little... hurt?

I laughed dryly and twitched my face. I was inexplicably a little irritable in my heart, and I wasn't quite sure what I was annoyed about.

All I know is that I feel very uncomfortable seeing Yuanyi's injured appearance, no, quite uncomfortable!

——————————————————————————————————————

In the past few days, I have been running in front of His Majesty more frequently, for no other reason than Zeng Fan being a burden.

I have always known that Zeng Fan's heart is for Chi Luoyue, but after learning that Chi Luoyue's marriage with this grand master fell through, he was a little too active and ran to the grand master's mansion every day.

I went to Chi Luoyue to test it out and felt that she didn't seem to dislike this marriage. As Zeng Fan's best brother, I will do my best to fight for his happiness.

This time, His Majesty happened to be going out of the palace for a private visit, and when he saw me entering the palace again, the muscles on his face trembled: "What else is the Grand Master going to say?"

I bowed politely: "Your Majesty, I am here this time because of the marriage between Captain Zeng and Princess Xianbei."

Emperor Yuanhua frowned immediately when he heard this: "Master, I have already made it clear to you a few times before that Zeng Fan's official position is too low. Xianbei will not agree to such an arrangement."

After running so many times, this time, Grand Master Ben made up his mind to get this matter done.I looked directly into Emperor Yuanhua's eyes with a serious expression on his face: "Zeng Fan's official position is indeed low, just like what I said to His Highness before, Zeng Fan is a brave and resourceful general. As long as Your Majesty is willing to give him a chance, he will definitely do it for you." I Luo Guo made great contributions. At that time, His Majesty will promote him and let him marry Xianbei, and other people will not object, will they?"

The other people I mentioned are of course Yuan Jin.

I heard that Yuan Jin has also tried his best to get Xianbei's help in the past few days.In order to achieve the goal, Yuan Jin arranged many things in private. Emperor Yuanhua naturally didn't want his son to be too powerful, but right now there is no suitable candidate, so His Majesty is also very contradictory.

Fortunately, due to Xianbei's current situation, Yuan Jin only wanted to marry Chi Luoyue as his side concubine, so Xianbei has not given an answer for a long time.

Emperor Yuanhua was a little hesitant, and I knew he was moved by this proposal, so I struck while the iron was hot: "Does Your Majesty want the crown prince to marry Xianbei?"

Ling Kong cast his gaze down and suddenly became more depressed: "I really don't want to."

I pretended to be forced by His Majesty's Long Wei to lower his head, but a smile slowly formed on his mouth, there is something to this matter!

"Your Majesty calm down, I wonder what Your Majesty thinks about the proposal made by the minister just now?"

The desolate atmosphere lingered around and finally Emperor Yuanhua made up his mind: "Just follow the grand master, the grand master will go to Yi'er and take you to Dudu's mansion to see if we can arrange some errands for Zeng Fan."

It turns out that His Majesty has always remembered the matter with Wang Luo that Chen Zhima rotten millet, and specially asked me to bring Yuanyi there to make things go smoothly.

I was secretly happy in my heart, and I immediately responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I obey the order."

After leaving the palace gate, I went straight to Cheng Wang's mansion.

I ran into Yuan Ying on the road, and Yuan Ying wanted to join in the excitement and insisted on going to Chengwang Mansion with me, but I had to take him there for a while.

Yuan Yi looked a little strange when he saw the two of us. After thinking about it carefully, I think the word "unhappy" is the most appropriate way to describe it.

"What's the matter?" The title also Wu Yuanyi just asked casually like this.

Yuan Ying smiled broadly with a shy face: "It's the grand master who has something to do with the second brother."

Yuan Yi's eyes turned to me: "What's the matter with Grand Master?"

I smiled and said, "Go back to Your Highness, it was His Majesty who asked me to ask His Highness to go to the Governor's Mansion to ask Captain Zeng for a good job."

Yuan Yi nodded noncommittal and got up and walked out: "Then let's go."
