It turns out that I too have been robbed.

When he came to the palace, the emperor's mood also improved a lot.

In the evening, he took people to the mountains to hunt a wild boar, and rewarded it.In the evening, the roasted wild boar was put on the table.

By the stream at the foot of Huiyan Mountain, small tables are scattered here and there.There is a lotus lamp somehow fixed in the water, emitting a soft light.Pei Ruzhou sat in the back row with his companion, and the people in front of him happened to be Qi Yunyao and Qi Baili.

When the banquet was about to start, a man in purple clothes and a rhinoceros belt came over and greeted Qi Yunyao.

Hearing the word "uncle", Pei Ruzhou, who was studying the lotus lamp, turned his eyes curiously.

He saw the man standing not far away, his facial features were somewhat similar to Qi Yunyao's, but his figure was thin, his eyes were cloudy, and his temperament was completely opposite.

Pei Ruzhou paused for a moment, then remembered something about this "Lord Meng" - he was originally a businessman in Fengcheng, and later became an official because of the concubine Xian, and had a good time.It's a pity that after the death of Concubine Xian, the emperor ignored the Meng family, and he also went up and down.It is said that he is the servant of the third grade Zhongshu, but he has no real power.

Just as Pei Ruzhou was secretly looking at Mr. Meng, the other party's eyes also fell on him.

Before Pei Ruzhou could react, Mr. Meng nodded to him and left the place straight away.

strangeness.

Pei Ruzhou frowned. Why did he feel that Mr. Meng looked at him with a bit... hatred that he couldn't understand?

The surrounding tables were all accompanied by the prince, and there was a commotion after the banquet started, only Qi Baili sat quietly at the table all the time.

And the most noisy one around is definitely Qi Yunyao, he would turn around and have a word with Pei Ruzhou every now and then.

Seeing that the small dish in Pei Ruzhou's hand was empty, Qi Yunyao's eyes lit up and asked, "Ruzhou, do you also like peanut crisps?"

"Peanut crisp?" Hearing these three words, Pei Ruzhou couldn't help being stunned.

"Well," Qi Yunyao pointed to the small plate and said, "The ones that were installed here just now."

It's over.

These big words flashed through Pei Ruzhou's mind instantly.

He really didn't know that the dessert on the small plate just now was peanut crisp.

"I...have never eaten this before." He hesitated for a moment, and said to Qi Yunyao.

Pei Ruzhou was once allergic to peanuts when he was young, and then Princess Shuming repeatedly told him not to touch this thing again.

However, I didn't expect that Pei Ruzhou would eat so much without paying attention today.

"Is it really peanut crisp?" Pei Ruzhou asked unwillingly.

"Yes." Qi Yunyao nodded with some doubts.

"I see..." He nodded slowly.

Calm down, don't panic!

Pei Ruzhou silently clenched his fists.

It stands to reason that after eating so many peanut crisps, my throat should have been uncomfortable by now, and I would also have rashes on my body.But the strange thing is that he didn't respond at all.

not only that.

Pei Ruzhou suddenly remembered one thing... My family has been staying in the Zhoulan Pass, the General's Mansion has been idle for many years, and a lot of weeds have grown in the yard.Before entering the palace, he was accidentally scratched by a slightly poisonous plant in the courtyard, but he was unharmed in the end.

"Hundred poisons do not invade?" He couldn't help whispering to himself.

If one can be called a coincidence, then two must not.

Could it be that this is also related to the immortal wine in the Nine Heavens?

Pei Ruzhou felt that the possibility was very high.

Just when Pei Ruzhou was thinking about finding something near Huiyan Mountain for verification, Qi Yunyao suddenly asked curiously: "Hey, brother Liuhuang, why don't you eat?"

Pei Ruzhou, who was already familiar with Qi Yunyao, immediately realized when he heard this voice: He is going to be a demon again!

Qi Baili kept his eyebrows low and remained silent, appearing more and more quiet under the reflection of the lotus lantern.

He was silent for a while, then turned around and nodded lightly, saying, "Thank you Seventh Prince for your concern."

"It's nothing to care about." Qi Yunyao smiled, pointed to the things on Qi Baili's table curiously and asked, "The six emperors don't move the things that the father gave them."

Qi Baili sat in the front row, so Qi Baili sitting in the back did not see his desk case before.

After Qi Yunyao said this, he belatedly turned sideways and looked at the table.

Sure enough, just like what Qi Yunyao said.Pei Ruzhou saw that the things on Qi Baili's table barely moved.

Does he not like it?

Pei Ruzhou was a little confused.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?" He asked softly.

Pei Ruzhou didn't see it, and just as he finished speaking, Qi Yunyao's eyes darkened again.

The young man looked at Pei Ruzhou leisurely, smiled and asked almost every word: "Brother Liu Huang, do you really not want to eat?"

Pei Ruzhou in the back row couldn't see it. At this moment, Qi Baili pursed his lips tightly, and a murderous intent even flashed in his eyes.

For the first time, he wanted Qi Yunyao to die.

In fact, many people in Huazhang Palace have discovered that Qi Baili never eats meat.

...But what does Qi Baili eat, what does it matter to them?

If it was in the past, Qi Yunyao would not bother to pay attention.But it's different now.

Pei Ruzhou cared about Qi Baili, like a thorn in Qi Yunyao's heart.

His disgust towards Qi Baili multiplied and it was already hard to suppress.

At the foot of Huiyan Mountain is the royal family's hunting ground. Today's dinner is all meat, and even the cakes are made of meat oil.

In the eyes of others, this may be a delicacy, but Qi Baili only finds it extremely disgusting.

"Don't waste your father's kindness..." Qi Yunyao propped his chin with his hands, and "reminded" with a smile.

Although Pei Ruzhou still didn't know what was going on, he could at least see that Qi Baili didn't want to eat those things.

In other words, Qi Baili doesn't eat meat.

"Okay," Pei Ruzhou couldn't help it anymore, he finally changed the subject, "Your Highness, the dinner has only just begun, so don't worry about how boring other people's meals are. Do you remember the kite from last time? When you have time, I just finished it."

After finishing speaking, without giving Qi Yunyao time to refuse, Pei Ruzhou added: "It's just right here that you can fly a kite on a horse. Haven't you always wanted to try it?"

Qi Yunyao was silent for a while, then pouted at last, and said to Pei Ruzhou coquettishly: "Then we've made an agreement, Ruzhou will stay with me all the time these few days."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal." Pei Ruzhou nodded quickly.

Seeing Qi Yunyao put away his weird little thoughts, Pei Ruzhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, where he couldn't see, Qi Yunyao slowly clenched the wine glass in his hand.

His mood did not improve because of Pei Ruzhou's words.

Qi Baili is really an eyesore. How can such an eyesore disappear?

……

Pei Ruzhou was really tired these few days, yesterday he had tossed all the way to Guijin Palace, before he had enough rest, he was called up by Qi Yunyao in the morning.And at night, he planned to catch up on sleep early, but he promised the other party to make a kite.

And when Pei Ruzhou returned to his residence, the night was already very dark.

As soon as he entered, Pei Ruzhou yawned.

"My God, why did you come back, son?" Cong Tao hurried over after waiting for a long time, and poured him a glass of water, "Sit down and have a rest."

"En." Pei Ruzhou nodded and sat at the table.

And while picking up the teacup to drink water, he suddenly saw the small box on the table.

It contains oats brought from Zhoulan Pass.

Dayi Pass and Fengcheng are both in Dayi, but the two places are far apart, and their eating habits are different.Worried that Pei Ruzhou would not be used to the food in the palace, Princess Shuming specially brought some oatmeal for him.

People in Fengcheng don't eat it very much, and it's rare to see it, but Pei Ruzhou likes it quite a bit.

Pei Ruzhou suddenly put down his teacup, and lightly placed his hand on the small box.

"Is your son hungry?" Cong Tao asked.

"No..." Pei Ruzhou shook his head, tonight's banquet was full of meat, and each dish was more filling than one dish.It feels like this meal can last for several days.

But this is for him.

Pei Ruzhou remembered that Qi Baili didn't seem to move his chopsticks until the end of the banquet.

As soon as he thought of this, Pei Ruzhou made a subconscious decision.

"Congtao, I'll go out for a while." He picked up the wooden box on the table.

"Hey, what are you going to do, son?"

"What are you doing with food?"

Before Cong Tao finished asking, Pei Ruzhou took the box and disappeared at the door.

He is going to find Qi Baili.

Pei Ruzhou suddenly realized that the Guijin Palace is different from the imperial palace, and the three meals a day are mostly meat.

If Qi Baili really didn't eat meat, wouldn't he be hungry all day?

No no no.

Although he has books to read, he still can't take it lightly!

In Pei Ruzhou's heart, Qi Baili still has the possibility of becoming a future tyrant.

He can starve himself today, and let the whole world starve tomorrow...

Thinking of this, Pei Ruzhou couldn't help running wildly in the corridor.

After half a stick of incense, Pei Ruzhou arrived at the residence of the princes.

As the least favored one among them, Qi Baili lives in the most remote courtyard.At this time, the night was very dark, but this small courtyard didn't even have a single light on.Against the background of dense trees and distant mountains, it looks very gloomy.

Pei Ruzhou couldn't help but slow down.

The surroundings became extremely quiet.

Therefore, the voice in the garden became extraordinarily clear.

Pei Ruzhou heard the sound of water.

He looked around the small courtyard, then suddenly opened his eyes wide -

There is a cold pool in the garden, even in the middle of summer, Pei Ruzhou can feel the oppressive cold in it.

And the boy in the white jacket sat in the cold pool with his back facing him.

Pei Ruzhou couldn't help but stop, at this moment, Qi Baili finally heard the voice and turned around slowly.

He saw that the boy's black eyes were finally no longer showing any emotion as usual.At this moment, Qi Baili's eyes were sharp and full of vigilance, like ice edges hanging on the cliff in the cold winter, which could be pierced at any time.

But the moment he saw the person coming, the ice, as if touched by sparks, suddenly began to melt.
