After wearing a book, he became the emperor's rival in love

Yu Zhou was awakened abruptly in his dream.

After he woke up, the smell of lean meat porridge disappeared from his nose, but the hunger in his stomach became stronger.

In the second half of the night, he hardly slept any more, just staring at the bed curtain until dawn.

"My lord, why are your eyes so red, did you not sleep well?" When Xiao Han woke up in the morning, he couldn't help being startled when he saw his appearance.

"It's okay, I'm so hungry." Yu Zhou said helplessly.

"Didn't you say you want to drink lean meat porridge? I just went to the kitchen to say hello and asked them to boil it for you. It should be ready in a while." Xiaohan said.

Yu Zhou's eyes lit up when he heard the lean meat porridge, and asked, "Really?"

"Naturally." Xiaohan said with a smile: "Master, he never paid much attention to what he eats before, and it's hard for him to find something he wants to eat. I can't let you down."

Yu Zhou was quite moved when he heard the words, and the frustration of being hungry all night also dissipated.

After he finished washing, he sat in front of the bronze mirror and asked Xiaohan to help him tie his hair.

Xiaohan's movements are quite neat, at least better than Pei Siyuan's, and he straightened his hair with three strokes.

Thinking of Pei Siyuan, Yu Zhou couldn't help but sighed, and couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart.

"Xiao Han?" Yu Zhou suddenly asked, "Have you ever tied someone else's hair?"

"No, I only tied hair for the young master and myself." Xiaohan said: "Not everyone can help with hair-tying. If it's not related to this, how can I do it for you?"

After all, most people tie their hair after getting up early, and haven't even changed their clothes yet.

Under normal circumstances, only the relationship of servants or sleeping together involves the issue of helping others to tie their hair.

"In my life, I think that only after I get married will I have the opportunity to tie the hair of the third person." Xiaohan said with a smile.

Yu Zhou was dazed when he heard the words, and asked again: "Then will you tie the hair of the person you hate?"

"No." Xiaohan said: "I hate the person, I feel uncomfortable even touching his clothes, how can I tie his hair?"

Yu Zhou thought the same, if he was asked to tie someone else's hair, he would not be willing either.

Of course, whether he wants to or not, he won't either.

Not long after Yu Zhou finished packing, the kitchen delivered breakfast.

He glanced at the lean meat porridge on the table, but his expression was a little puzzled.

He clearly remembered that when he was at Pei Siyuan's house, the porridge was filled with fragrance when it was served at one end, so why couldn't the porridge in his house smell anything?

"My lord, here it is." Xiao Han filled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of him.

Yu Zhou stirred it with a spoon, then put a spoonful into his mouth, his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Although this porridge is also called lean meat porridge, and there is indeed lean meat in it, but for some reason, it doesn't taste like Pei Siyuan's porridge at all.Not only that, but there was also a meaty smell after drinking it in his mouth, which immediately wiped out his exuberant appetite, and even made him feel a little nauseous.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that his expression was not right, Xiao Han hurriedly asked.

"Xiao Han, do you want to try this porridge?" Yu Zhou asked.

Hearing the words, Xiaohan filled a bowl for himself and tasted it, and hurriedly said: "It's delicious, doesn't the lean meat porridge in our house always taste like this?" Yu Zhou put down the bowl and thought to himself that it couldn't be him Is there a problem with your sense of taste?

If it was different from usual, he would probably drink it in order not to disappoint Xiao Han.

But with the experience of last night, he didn't dare to hold on anymore this time, lest he vomit after drinking, and he would be the one who felt uncomfortable.

"My lord, are you not feeling well?" Xiao Han asked.

"I don't know what's going on, I'm obviously very hungry, but I'll be full as soon as I eat," Yu Zhou said.

"How could this happen?" Xiaohan asked puzzled, "Why don't we go see the doctor."

Yu Zhou thought for a while and said, "But I don't have any other discomfort."

Since ancient times, it has been a common problem for many people to "avoid diseases and avoid doctors". Yu Zhou, who is timid, dare not go to the doctor easily, for fear that good people will find out something wrong.

"Does the young master want to eat something else?" Xiao Han asked.

Yu Zhou thought in his heart that he wanted to drink the lean meat porridge from Pei Siyuan's family, but now even if Pei Siyuan asked him to go, he would not dare to go.

In the past, it was fine if he didn't know, but now that he knew that Pei Siyuan had recognized him, how could he dare to go any further?

Moreover, it would be embarrassing for a big man to go to someone's house to drink porridge.

With Pei Siyuan's temperament, he might not know how to tease him.

"I think of a place, the food at their house tastes good." Yu Zhou said.

"Where?" Xiao Han hurriedly asked, "I'll go buy it for you, Young Master."

Pei Siyuan took him to that place several times, and the food was delicious.

The only problem was that it was too close to the Xunhuan Building, and he was afraid of bumping into Pei Siyuan.

A moment later, Yu Zhou hid in the alley and poked his probe out.

Xiao Han leaned over and said: "Young Master, I have checked, everyone in the Xun Huan Building has withdrawn, only a few imperial guards are left to guard."

Yu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and walked out of the alley with Xiao Han.

In fact, he could have waited for Xiaohan to buy it at home, but it would take a lot of effort to come and go, and the food would definitely taste bad if it was delayed for a long time, so he decided to try it himself.

Yu Zhou probably never imagined that one day he would run around so much for a single bite.

When he used to read martial arts novels, he never understood that the nine-fingered god beggar chopped off a finger for food, how greedy can the heart be?

Now he knows.

He could be so greedy that he would come to have a meal even at the risk of bumping into Pei Siyuan.

"Hey, Mr. Yu is here?"

As soon as Yu Zhou entered the door in a secretive way, he heard the waiter in the restaurant greet him loudly, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

"You... Keep your voice down." Yu Zhou sat down in a corner seat with a guilty conscience, and asked, "How do you know me?"

"Didn't Vice Commander Pei order you?" The man said, "No matter when you come, let us take care of you."

Yu Zhou was startled, and vaguely remembered that Pei Siyuan had indeed mentioned this matter before, but at that time he thought that he would definitely not have such a taste, so he didn't take it seriously.He didn't remember until the buddy reminded him today.

"Why does Deputy Commander Pei have so much face?" Xiao Han asked curiously.

"Deputy Commander Pei is a distinguished guest of the shop, so naturally he has face." The clerk hurriedly said.

Yu Zhou glanced at Xiao Han, and said in a low voice, "It's a one-year contract."

Xiaohan didn't quite understand what year Bao was, and Yu Zhou didn't explain to him again.

"Lean meat porridge, some light side dishes." Yu Zhou thought for a while, and said, "Just order the kind that Deputy Commander Pei usually eats."

Pei Siyuan is very good at ordering, every time Yu Zhou comes with him, there is almost no dish that he doesn't like.

Yu Zhou motioned Xiaohan to sit with him, and asked him to block him, as if he was afraid of meeting someone he knew.

After a while, the waiter brought the dishes, but the porridge was not so fast for a while.

Yu Zhou took a bite of food with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, feeling instantly relieved.

It's the taste!

Sure enough, it wasn't his taste that was wrong, it was the food!

On that day, Yu Zhou finally had a comfortable meal and packed a snack at the end.

When paying the bill, the shopkeeper insisted on recording it in Pei Siyuan's account, saying that it was an order from Deputy Commander Pei.

Yu Zhou was already a little embarrassed to take advantage of Pei Siyuan's yearly VIP benefits, so he was willing to take advantage of other things, and he insisted on asking Xiaohan to pay the money.

When Yu Zhou was full of wine and food, Pei Siyuan was reading the interrogation records presented by his subordinates in the small courtyard.

This time, everyone in the Xunhuan Building was arrested, and many people involved in buying medicinal materials were also arrested. The interrogation records alone have written a thick stack.

"There are quite a few things that have been found, but so far there is no evidence to prove that this incident is related to anyone in the court." A general said far away to Pei Si.

"Have you asked someone from Dali Temple to help you check?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Chen Shaoqing has been helping." The general said: "He is bringing trustworthy people, you have seen them, they are doing their best, but there is really no clue yet."

Pei Siyuan was not surprised, and said: "It would be abnormal for us to find evidence so easily. The reason why they old foxes dare to be so blatant is that they have found a way out for themselves. Now that something happened, drag a few When the little guys outside come out, I can't get involved in any of my messes."

"Then aren't we busy?" the general said.

"Why is it a waste of time?" Pei Siyuan said: "Isn't it our goal that no one in the capital and the Dayuan Dynasty dare to use that kind of medicine indiscriminately in the next few years or even decades?"

As for the old fox behind him, it doesn't matter whether he is temporarily dead or not.

"Yes." The general said hurriedly.

"Go." Pei Siyuan said.

The military commander resigned after hearing the words.

As soon as he stepped out, a young servant quickly stepped into the small courtyard.

"My lord, Jiang Yuezhai's guy is here, and he said he's bringing you a new snack." The boy said.

Pei Siyuan was stunned for a moment, remembering where Jiang Yuezhai was, and said casually: "Reward some money, and share the snacks with you."

"Thank you son." The boy said: "The guy said there is something trivial, I don't know if it should be brought to you."

"Since it's a trivial matter, don't talk about it." Pei Siyuan said.

"It's... Mr. Yu's business." The boy said.

Pei Siyuan flicked through the interrogation record and said, "Let him in."

"Deputy Commander Pei..." The guy smiled and seemed to be planning to exchange pleasantries.

"Speak directly." Pei Siyuan interrupted him.

"Last time, didn't you tell us to take care of Mr. Yu if he went to eat at our place? Today he actually came and ordered some of your favorite dishes," said the guy.

Pei Siyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you order my favorite side dish?"

"That's right, what Mr. Yu said originally was 'serve all the side dishes that Vice Commander Pei likes to eat'." The waiter said.

After Pei Siyuan heard this, his originally indifferent eyes were stained with a smile.

He even put down the file in his hand, looked at the guy, and asked, "What else did he say?"

"I didn't say anything else." Seeing that Pei Siyuan was interested in this matter, the clerk said graciously: "He brought a servant, and the two of them ate together. Young Master Yu seemed to have a good appetite. Meat porridge."

Pei Siyuan smiled even more when he heard this.

"By the way, he also packed a snack." The man said again.

"That's right." Pei Siyuan said with a smile: "Whatever he wants to eat, you can do whatever you want."

After thinking about it, he said again: "If he wants to eat buns, remember not to make them too greasy."

"Yes, yes, yes." The man responded repeatedly: "But..."

"But what?" Pei Siyuan's smile faded.

The clerk hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that he insists on paying the money himself."

"It's a delicate one." Pei Siyuan said.

He thought for a while, and said to the boy: "I'll take a look at the snacks he brought."

The servant hurriedly brought over the snack box, Pei Siyuan opened it, took a look, and frowned.

"Do you know how to make that kind of sugar ball? It's wrapped in skin and has a slightly chewy texture. It's filled with peach blossom sauce, which tastes sweet and moderate. If you eat too much, it won't cause food accumulation or acid regurgitation." Pei Siyuan said.

The waiter hurriedly said: "Vice Commander Pei wants to eat, so he can definitely do it."

"Send it to Yu Mansion when it's ready." Pei Siyuan said, "Make up a pretext, don't say I sent it."

The guy was startled, and hurriedly nodded.

Pei Siyuan had someone give him a reward, and then he sent him away.

After noon, Jiang Yuezhai's staff delivered the sugar pills to Yu's residence.

They got Pei Siyuan's instruction, and they didn't dare to mention Deputy Commander Pei, they only said that this is a new dim sum made in the building, and regular customers all have a share.

"Grateful for the feedback?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's a thankful feedback to the guests." The waiter hurriedly said.

"But I only spent money with you once." Yu Zhou said.

"Aren't we going to eat more in the future? Mr. Yu, don't let us go outside." The waiter hurriedly said.

Yu Zhou didn't doubt that he was there, so he asked Xiaohan to collect the snacks, and then gave the guy a reward.

If he hadn't seen this guy in the restaurant today, he couldn't help but suspect that this guy was plotting something wrong.

The food box was opened, and there were not only sugar pills, but also two other snacks inside.

This Jiang Yuezhai seems to be very good at business. He sent Pei Siyuan several snacks before but failed to please him. Now that he finally got the chance to show his favor indirectly, he wished he could provide Yu Zhou with three meals a day.

Anyway, when the time comes, Vice Commander Pei will only pay more money, not less.

What's more, picky and distinguished guests like Pei Siyuan can indirectly improve the quality of their restaurant, so they naturally won't let it go easily.

"They can even cook the imperial dim sum!" Yu Zhou looked at Tang Wan and said, "No wonder it's the best restaurant in the capital."

As he spoke, he picked up a sugar pill and tried it. Although the taste was different from the ones eaten in the palace, the taste was not bad.

Since Yu Zhou filled his stomach, his mood has also recovered a lot.

The emperor should be returning from the eastern suburbs today, and according to the rules, he will be on duty tomorrow.

But that night, Yu Chengwen suddenly said that he wanted to see him.

Yu Zhou hurried to the front hall, and saw Yu Chengwen sitting there drinking tea.

"Father." Yu Zhou stepped forward and saluted him.

"I heard that you think the food at home is not tasty?" Yu Chengwen asked suddenly.

"No." Yu Zhou hurriedly said, "I've had some discord in the past two days, so my appetite is not good."

"It's not to scold you, there is no need to explain." Yu Chengwen said: "It's okay if you are not used to eating, you are a big son of the Yu family, going out to a restaurant is not a big deal."

Yu Zhou didn't know why, so he didn't dare to speak casually while standing still.

"Since you're not feeling well, let Xiaohan go to the yamen to take a leave of absence for you, and rest at home for a few days." Yu Chengwen said.

"I'm fine." Yu Zhou said hurriedly.

"If you are told to rest, you can rest." Yu Chengwen said: "I don't know if there will be any trouble in the court these few days. Since you are on duty in front of the imperial court, you are afraid of trouble if you get involved, so avoid it if you can."

Only then did Yu Zhou realize that Yu Chengwen was asking him to avoid the limelight at home.

He remembered that Liu Ji'an had said before that although this matter may not seem too big, once an unknown person like Yu Zhou gets involved, it may be difficult to get out of it unscathed.

Since Yu Chengwen said so, Yu Zhou naturally had no objection, and asked Xiaohan to ask for leave early the next morning.

As Yu Chengwen expected, there were some storms in the morning.

"Why do you confront them like that?" Lu Zhinan turned to Pei Siyuan after the ceremony.

"I can't find any evidence, but it's quite easy to blame them." Pei Siyuan laughed.

"You are really not afraid of offending people." Lu Zhinan said, "It is estimated that there will be a hill of papers for visiting you tomorrow."

"I have His Majesty's support, so I'm not afraid of their participation." Pei Siyuan said.

Lu Zhinan couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and said: "Although you make such a fuss, it is of no practical use, but it is still okay to let them restrain themselves for a while. It is a good thing for us to have more people staring at us."

After Lu Zhinan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and asked, "You didn't do anything about Yu Sheren?"

"Ah..." Pei Siyuan patted his head and said, "I haven't mentioned it to him yet."

"If you don't want to mention it, let Zhang Langzhong talk about it." Lu Zhinan said: "Retransfer him back to the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, and keep the rank of the living man. This time he has been involved innocently. It's his compensation."

Pei Siyuan thought for a while, and said, "Let me go and talk about it myself."

"That's fine." Lu Zhinan said: "When he comes to be on duty in a few days, you can tell him in person."

"How many days?" Pei Siyuan asked in confusion.

"He seems to be on leave." Lu Zhinan said, "I also heard from Zhuang Sheren that Zhang Langzhong asked him to take over the post of Yu Sheren temporarily for a few days."

"Why do you want to ask for leave?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"You don't feel well." Lu Zhinan said.

Pei Siyuan nodded and said nothing.

In the afternoon of that day, before lunch, Pei Siyuan went to Jiangyue Zhai.

When the guys in the building saw him coming, they hurriedly greeted him warmly.

"Has Mr. Yu been here today?" Pei Siyuan asked casually.

"Come here, I drank lean meat porridge early in the morning, and ordered your favorite side dishes." The waiter hurriedly said: "Last night was almost the same, and I took an extra snack before I left."

Pei Siyuan: ...

It seems that he is not feeling well, but his appetite is good.

"Seeing that it's time for dinner, maybe he'll be here in a while," said the waiter.

As soon as he finished speaking, he glanced in the direction of the door and hurriedly said, "Isn't this here?"

When Pei Siyuan heard the words, he turned his head and saw Yu Zhou leading Xiaohan into Jiang Yuezhai.

Yu Zhou wore a moon-white wide-sleeved gown today, with a white jade hairpin pinned to his head. At first glance, he looked like a person walking out of a painting, with a bit of dustiness.

But the moment he saw Pei Siyuan, the unrestrained and handsome man just now disappeared immediately, he lifted up his clothes, turned around and was about to run.

"Stop." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou was still afraid of him after all, and stopped when he stepped over the threshold with one foot.

"Because of my favor, you don't even say thank you when you meet, are you going to run away?" Pei Siyuan said with a faint smile.

Yu Zhou's shoulders rose and fell slightly. He probably took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. Then he turned around and walked in front of Pei Siyuan, and saluted him.

"Thank you... Vice Commander Pei."

He was hanging his head halfway now, and he didn't dare to look up at Pei Siyuan. When he spoke, his voice was a little unsteady, and he was obviously nervous.

Pei Siyuan stared at him for a while, raised his eyebrows and said, "Is it just a verbal thank you? Nothing practical?"

Yu Zhou was startled, raised his eyes to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "Why...how is it practical?"

What Pei Siyuan thought was that after seeing each other, it's not too much to have a meal together, right?It just so happened that something should be said.

He didn't intend to bully people with all his strength today, and he wouldn't be able to bear it if he frightened people again.

But Yu Zhou looked at his expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, obviously he was wrong.

So he peeked at the people next to him, and after making sure that no one noticed him, he tiptoed slightly, leaned up to Pei Siyuan and whispered in Pei Siyuan's ear, "Brother Pei."

When Pei Siyuan asked him for favors before, wasn't that what he wanted?

Although he didn't understand what's so exciting about it, it must be because Pei Siyuan has some strange habit.

The author has something to say:

Pei Siyuan: I'm dead
