Crossing should also be very low-key

Of course, when he returned to the palace, he would not be in such a hurry as when he was taken away. He and Xu Lichen sat in the carriage, and Chen Ying was in charge of driving, surrounded by fifty or sixty elite guards.It took them two and a half days to return to the palace in a mighty and leisurely way.This is the normal speed!Li Qingjiu often sighed in the car.

Because it is a formal route plan of the emperor and prince, even the carriage of the transportation is the most advanced.Not to mention the magnificent appearance and the words "Come and grab me", the inside has everything you need for table, chairs, beds, food, drink and entertainment. What's even more exaggerated is that he can stand inside the carriage.

Standing in the carriage!And it's not just him, even Xu Lichen, who is a head taller than him, can stand in the carriage without bumping his head, this part makes him feel very embarrassing.All in all, this is simply an elegant room that can move!No wonder it takes six horses to pull it.

During these two and a half days, their entire team took the official road, so there were inns and restaurants along the way, and eating and sleeping were not a problem.Although he felt a little ashamed in front of everyone by being positioned as the prince's male favorite, Li Qingjiu still followed Xu Lichen closely by adhering to the concept of "relying on money when going out". Xu Lichen told him what to eat, what to do, Wherever he sleeps, he obeys obediently.

I thought that the prince would make good use of this kindness when he came all the way to take him back, and asked him to meet his long-lost reunion in the carriage, in the woods, in the inn room and so on.Such speculation made Li Qingjiu's nerves tense at any time during the two and a half days. Even in the carriage, he didn't dare to get too close to Xu Lichen or look at him more. Of course, he never thanked the prince properly.He thought in his heart that there would be more opportunities after returning to the palace anyway, so he decided to be more prudent and safe in the carriage these two days.

But to my surprise, Xu Lichen only asked questions like "Are you hungry?" office.Because every time he got off the car for a rest, someone would send him a pile of documents to look over, and then he would keep looking at those documents when he was not eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom.

Seeing his serious and hard-working expression, Li Qingjiu suddenly felt ashamed that he thought this lifesaver was too obscene.

It was not yet dawn when we returned to the palace, but roosters were already crowing.

When Xu Lichen got off the car, he only said "have a good rest" to him, and then left with Chen Ying.

Li Qingjiu walked all the way back to the North Courtyard with Butler Lin Tang, who hadn't seen him for several days, he was inexplicably moved by the familiar scene, even the usually expressionless butler seemed much more cordial at the moment.In fact, compared to Ping Hui, Lin Tang is just a young man with facial paralysis and not good at speech, but he is really good to him.

"Steward Lin, I let you take care of me a while ago." Li Qingjiu said emotionally.

"You're being polite." Lin Tang only responded by turning his head slightly, but he didn't stop at all.

Before reaching the gate of the North Courtyard, Ah Shun rushed over from a long distance.

"My lord, you're back!" Ah Shun was only a boy after all, his eyes were red with excitement.

"Oh, Ah Shun." Reunited after a long absence, Li Qingjiu couldn't help showing a smile, and patted him on the shoulder equally excitedly. "I almost thought I'd never see you again!"

"Ah Shun, help Mr. Li to rectify." The butler said so, and then left.

Ah Shun had already been told that Li Qingjiu would return home today, so he hadn't slept since last night, and was busy preparing things to help Li Qingjiu catch the wind.

"My lord, wait a minute." Ah Shun suddenly took out the fire starting tool of this era from his arms, and after making sparks, he ignited the handful of grass he had been holding in his hand. "I heard people say that the smoke of this herb can ward off bad luck."

"Hey, it's not like I was just released by Guan Gang..." Li Qingjiu was both moved and a little bit moved when he saw Ah Shun holding the burning grass like a psychic and waving it around him with a serious face. I can't laugh or cry.It turns out that no matter what era there is such a custom!I don't know if there will be something like pork knuckle noodles to eat later?

"Okay." Ah Shun stamped out the remaining grass. "My lord, let's take a herbal bath first!"

"Oh, good!" Li Qingjiu happily followed Ah Shun back to his yard. A bathtub filled with hot water had been prepared in the yard, and some smelly grass and tree roots were sprinkled in the bathtub. , probably also used to exorcise evil spirits.

"My lord, it's better to enter the room after soaking here." Ah Shun explained.

"Oh, 3Q Ah Shun! I, I mean thank you."

"You're welcome! By the way, son, can you burn the clothes you take off later?" Seeing that his son had already taken off his clothes impatiently, Ah Shun asked quickly.

"Huh? But someone gave it to me, and it's very easy to wear!" Li Qingjiu was about to hand over the clothes he took off to Ah Shun, and said with some regret.

"That's it... It's better to burn it, but if you want to keep it, my lord, it should be okay to smoke it for a longer time." Ah Shun said, taking his clothes and spreading them on the On the pergola where the clothes are dried, there is a brazier under it, and some grass and a few pieces of charcoal are thrown into it to burn.

After returning to the familiar place, Li Qingjiu jumped into the tub in a very relaxed manner.Although I took a bath at the inn last night, after all, taking a bath in a hotel is different from taking a comfortable bath at home.

"...Is it my home?" Li Qingjiu looked around the place where he lived for more than a month.

that's true!After coming to this era, this is the place where he lived the longest, and he may have to live here for a few more years, so it is not an exaggeration to say that this is his home, and Ah Shun and Zhu Alan are his relatives.But it's rather strange that "relatives, friends, colleagues, and clients all live in the same place".

"My lord, did the emperor treat you well?" After finishing his clothes, Ah Shun brought the clothes that Li Qingjiu would wear later, and asked him while sitting on the small chair by the bathtub.

"My lord...he is so busy, I seldom see him!" Li Qingjiu scooped up some water and washed it on his head.He didn't intend to tell Ah Shun what kind of life he lived in the harem. Anyway, he just went hungry for a few meals, was framed by the emperor, and almost broke his hand. A 30-year-old man complained to a child about this Things are too embarrassing.

"Then, did the queen and other girls make things difficult for you?" Ah Shun continued to ask worriedly.

"It's okay, because the emperor seldom came to see me, so no one in the harem knew who I was. There was a caterer named Wang Momo who was very kind to me. He always gave me something to eat and returned it to me. I have a lot of daily necessities. Other maids, servants, and some people are nice to me."

"That's really great." After hearing what he said, Ah Shun felt relieved. "I was worried that your personality, son, would offend many people over there?"

"No, I'm as adaptable as a cockroach." Li Qingjiu made a movement of squeezing his biceps, which made Ah Shun laugh.

When it comes to "offending", in fact, he offended only one person!Although he is still confused about the whole story of what happened, when, where, and why are not clear at all.But what the heck!Anyway, he was brought back to the palace, and he should never have anything to do with that inexplicable emperor again.

"Speaking of which, Ah Shun," Li Qingjiu looked left and right while splashing water on his face. "Is it my illusion or what, why do I feel that there are some things missing in the yard?" For example, the reclining chair covered with soft cloth, the wooden box where he collects card games, the tea set on the stone table, and some potted plants. .

"Well..." Ah Shun laughed dryly. "Young master, when you enter the house, you will find less and more..."

Li Qingjiu looked at him suspiciously, then crawled out of the tub, and walked into the room while getting dressed.

"...Ouch! Longevity!" Standing at the door of the room, Li Qingjiu stared dumbfounded at the scene inside.

Has he returned to Yongning Palace?There is nothing in the room except cabinets, beds, tables and chairs.

"Where are my tea, wine, and dried meat? Where are the wooden boxes for storing things? Where are the pens and inkstones?" He walked around with a puzzled expression, pulling out every cabinet to check, and there were only a few of them in the cabinet. Barely worn silk garments were gone. "Damn! Is this a thief? Which thief is so bold to steal into the palace?"

"You know that thief very well..." Ah Shun, who was following behind Li Qingjiu, lowered his head and murmured.

"What did you say?"

"I, I mean, this is a private rule in the palace." Ah Shun said with a smile. "Once a young master leaves the palace, the things in the yard can be divided among other young masters. Some young masters will give gifts to the young masters who have good feelings in advance, but if they leave the mansion suddenly and have no time to explain, they will be the first to win."

"So all my things have been divided up by others?"

"Uh...it's almost like that..." Ah Shun replied with a guilty conscience.

"Since it's the rule of the palace, there's nothing I can do about it. Fortunately, my money has been hidden..." Li Qingjiu lay down on the ground under the king's bed and checked to make sure that the small wooden box covered with black cloth was still there.

Ah Shun quickly raised his head to look at the roof, not daring to speak.

Just at Moment, who made Ah Shun sweat, a familiar shout came from outside.

"Mr. Li, I heard that you are back? My son and I are here to see you!" It was Ah Cong's voice.

"It's Brother Yue and the others!" Li Qingjiu happily rushed out of the room, seeing Zhang Xiaoyue who was still graceful, unrestrained and charming, felt like a world away, so moved and rushed forward inexplicably. "Brother Yue~~"

"Hey! Have you ever taken a grass bath?" Zhang Xiaoyue stepped back before being hugged by him, and stretched out her hand to block him with a look of disgust. "Be careful, don't get the mold on me."

"It's over soaked! Thick! Brother Yue, you are very emotionless!" Li Qingjiu, who was rejected, complained.

"No emotion?" Zhang Xiaoyue glanced at him sideways and said coolly. "If you say I have no feelings, then you are full of food and have nothing to do when you are a prince, so you suddenly decided to bring you back three days after you were taken away?"

"Huh? Didn't he find out with conscience?" Li Qingjiu blinked and said.

"What conscience discovery?" Zhang Xiaoyue frowned lightly, wondering what strange idea this guy had again?

"Just... if the emperor takes me away, he won't have to pay me..."

"...idiot..." Zhang Xiaoyue closed her eyes and sighed forcefully. "My lord gives dozens of times more money to the princes and wives than you do every month! How could you do that to save a little money? Based on your argument, the lord most wants to send me away, right? "

"But the emperor just didn't like you!" Li Qingjiu whispered, because Zhang Xiaoyue Xunlei slapped him on the head without haste.

"Originally, the lord didn't plan to bring you back, but there was someone who talked a lot and said a few words to the lord, which made the lord feel that it's a pity to give someone else to play with you, so he decided to bring you back. You're back." Zhang Xiaoyue said softly while avoiding seriousness.Although the prince is enlightened, the emotional part of this guy's brain is not so bright, and he also wants to watch more good shows, so he decided not to bring the prince back. The exact reason tell him.

"Could it be you, Brother Yue?" Hearing what he said, Li Qingjiu immediately knew that Zhang Xiaoyue must have interceded for him in front of the prince, so he gratefully held his hands and said, "Brother Yue, your lord I can't repay you for your kindness!"

"Brothers, there is no such thing as great kindness. Besides, I have already taken it first!" Zhang Xiaoyue patted him on the shoulder and said. "Although it's a little short, it's still very easy to bring pocket money!"

"Huh?" Li Qingjiu stared blankly at Zhang Xiaoyue's harmless smile, then suddenly remembered something and quickly rushed into the room, took out the wooden box under the bed and opened it, all the silver inside was gone!

"Brother Yue, that's my selling money!" Li Qingjiu rushed back and said tearfully, patting Zhang Xiaoyue's clothes.

"Hey, silly boy, if you want to make money by selling yourself, you will have more opportunities in the future. You have to take a long-term view, and don't worry about the mere taels of money." Zhang Xiaoyue smiled softly and pinched his cheek.

"But in that wooden box is still the five taels of gold you gave me as a dividend!" That ingot of gold is worth more than all the silver put together, even if his "body" can be sold, it will take several months to sell it!

"Believe me, when you look back one day, you will feel that begging me for a mere ingot of gold is a very meaningless thing." Zhang Xiaoyue said so, but the strength of pinching his face became more and more like venting hatred. The harder you work.

"Then, can you return that ingot of gold to me before that day comes? It hurts, hurts, hurts." Li Qingjiu finally couldn't take it anymore and saved his face. "Brother Yue, what are you doing?"

"No reason, just itchy hands."

Thinking that the prince actually went to bring Li Qingjiu back after hearing what he said, although it was not beyond his expectation, it meant that Li Qingjiu's status in the prince's heart was far higher than that of their male favourites.Although he liked this guy quite a lot, from the standpoint of the number one male favorite, this matter still made him very uncomfortable.Maybe in a few days, he will not have the chance to earn the prince's money, and now of course he has to get a little more money from the culprit.

"Well, it would be great if you can get paid for doing good deeds." Zhang Xiaoyue said emotionally.

"If you do good deeds, you can get paid for it," Li Qingjiu rubbed his sore cheek. "Brother Yue, you will become a pauper soon."

"..."

"Wow, wow, wow, it hurts, it hurts! Brother Yue, let go, let go! My face, my face will turn black and blue──"
