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

When Yu Zhou came out of the palace that day, he saw Xiao Han was already waiting outside in a carriage.

"My lord, are you hungry?" Xiaohan asked while helping him into the carriage.

"A little bit." Yu Zhou said.

He didn't go to Jiang Yuezhai for dinner today, and he was not used to the food at home, so he ate very little. After working in the palace for half a day, he was naturally very hungry.But when he thought of the meals he was going to eat after returning home, he suddenly lost his appetite.

"What is this?" Yu Zhou got into the carriage, only to find that there was a food box in the carriage.

"My lord, you will know when you open it." Xiaohan said.

Yu Zhou opened the food box and saw that there were two stacks of snacks inside.

He picked up a piece of snack and smelled it, and said, "Is it Jiang Yuezhai's?"

Xiaohan smiled and said: "Young master, what's the matter with you, why did you suddenly stop eating Jiang Yuezhai's food? If it used to be fine, now you are so picky, and you are not used to eating food at home, always like this How can you be hungry."

"Did you go to Jiangyue Zhai to buy some snacks, did you pay the money?" Yu Zhou asked.

"No." Xiaohan said: "Didn't Deputy Commander Pei say that he is a VIP for a year, and that he has paid all the money?"

When Yu Zhou heard him mention Pei Siyuan, his expression sank, and he said, "He is him, and I am me."

"This... didn't you all care about these before?" Xiaohan was a little puzzled.

"That was in the past, and now we have to worry about it." When Yu Zhou said this, he couldn't help but glance at the dim sum, and swallowed quietly.

Jiang Yuezhai's dim sum is so well made, after opening the food box, the aroma is tangy.

Even though Yu Zhou deliberately refused to let himself smell it, the scent still penetrated his nose.

"Young Master and Vice Commander Pei are having a fight again?" Xiaohan asked.

"It's not that there was a quarrel, it's that I ignored him." Yu Zhou said.

Anyway, Pei Siyuan said this himself, if he deceives Yu Zhou again, he will let Yu Zhou ignore him.

So now Yu Zhou didn't deliberately pick on him, but just ignored him logically!

"Did he make the young master angry?" Xiaohan asked cautiously.

"I don't want to talk about him." Yu Zhou covered the snack box and said, "Anyway, you remember, from now on, I won't eat Jiang Yuezhai's food, and you are not allowed to buy it back." He said reluctantly He glanced at the food box carefully, with a very tragic expression.

Yu Zhou has a soft temper, and rarely has a tough attitude on weekdays.

Seeing him like this, Xiaohan hurriedly responded, and asked him: "Then I will take this snack and throw it away?"

"I don't want to eat it, and I didn't let you eat it. I took it back. It's a waste to throw it away. You can eat it." After Yu Zhou said, he handed the food box to him.

Xiaohan put the food box beside him, couldn't help sighing, and wondered what happened to his young master and Deputy Commander Pei?

First, a few days ago, Deputy Commander Pei went to their house with food. At that time, his son said that Deputy Commander Pei was a good person.Why did he ignore people in the blink of an eye, and even Jiang Yuezhai didn't want to eat it.

He doesn't care if it's awkward or not, he's afraid that his young master will starve!

After returning to the mansion that day, Yu Zhou planned to eat a few mouthfuls of food and then fall asleep.His appetite is very delicate now, and he will vomit if he eats too much bad-tasting food, so he only dares to eat some staple food and make do with it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the backyard, he could smell the aroma of food.

"Boss is back? Hurry up and change out of your official uniform, then wash your hands. We'll have dinner later." Madam Yu said with a smile on her face.

Yu Zhou responded and saluted her, then went back to his room and changed his clothes.

His house was burned before, and he lost even his clothes, shoes and socks.In the past two days, Xiaohan went to buy some clothes for him, but because Xiaohan's aesthetics is too poor, the clothes he bought are hard to describe.

On the contrary, the turquoise clothes that he wore back from Pei Siyuan's residence that day looked very pleasing to the eye.

"Master?" Xiaohan called him at the door.

Yu Zhou hurriedly looked away from the turquoise clothes, and then took a dress that Xiaohan bought for him and put it on.

"Madam said that there is a new cook at home, let you try it to see if it suits your taste." Xiao Han waited for him to finish washing his hands, and handed him the cloth towel.

"Cook changed?" Yu Zhou said in surprise, "No wonder today's food smells so good!"

Mrs. Yu passed by the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Didn't you have a bad appetite these days? Your father said a long time ago that he wanted to try another cook, but today is just right...so he met the right one." She When he said this, an unnatural look flashed across his face, but he quickly covered it up.

"Actually, my poor appetite is not the cook's fault, it's me..." Yu Zhou said.

"Don't worry, the cook didn't send him away earlier, but still let him stay in the mansion." Madam Yu said hastily.

Although the Yu Mansion is not comparable to a wealthy family, there are always a few servant girls in the family, and it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less.

"How about this taste?" Madam Yu said, using serving chopsticks to pick up food for him.

After Yu Zhou thanked it, he quickly tasted it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Delicious." Yu Zhou hurriedly said, "This cook's craftsmanship is even better than Jiang Yuezhai's!"

"As long as you like it." Madam Yu said as she glanced at Yu Chengwen, and saw that he was also smiling.

If Yu Zhou was a little smarter, he would have realized that there is only one person in the entire capital who is better than Jiang Yuezhai's cook, and that is the cook of Pei's residence.

It's a pity that he is so carried away by eating right now that he has no time to think about this at all.

That night, Yu Zhou ate the most delicious meal at home since these days.

Earlier when Yu Cheng heard that he had lost his appetite all day, he was worried that he was unwell, but seeing him eating two bowls of rice in a row today, he immediately felt relieved.

It seems that the eldest son of their family has a bad appetite, but he did not know where he learned the problem of picky eaters!

Yu Zhou is a simple-minded person who is easily satisfied. He belongs to the type who is happy when he is full.

Previously, he was depressed because of Pei Siyuan's matter, but since the change of cook at home, his mood has mostly recovered within a few days.

And with a good cook at home, I don't have to go out all the time in the future, which saves me a lot of worry.

"Xiaohan, do you think I'm a little fat?" Yu Zhou asked in the morning in front of the bronze mirror in his middle coat.

"No." Xiao Han looked around him, and said, "Master, your body is a little thin, but if you have a good appetite recently, it would be better if you can grow some meat, but... I really don't see that you have become fat. .”

Yu Zhou lifted up his clothes and took a look. He did not find any excess fat, so he felt relieved.

"What clothes are you wearing today, young master?" Xiao Han asked.

"Wear..." Yu Zhou thought about the clothes that Xiao Han bought for him, hesitated again and again, and said, "Whatever you want."

He was still angry with Pei Siyuan, and he was determined not to wear the clothes that Pei Siyuan gave him.

Speaking of Pei Siyuan, for some reason, the other party has never appeared in the Imperial Study Room these days.

At first Yu Zhou was quite happy, secretly thinking that he didn't need to see him, just to avoid embarrassment.

Although he made up his mind to be angry with Pei Siyuan, he has a soft temper and a soft heart. If Pei Siyuan insisted on talking to him, he probably wouldn't be able to keep ignoring him.Now that Pei Si is far away, he can continue to ignore people smoothly.

But when Pei Siyuan disappeared for several days in a row, Yu Zhou couldn't help being curious.

However, Lu Zhinan has been doing as usual recently, and Yu Zhou can't see anything unusual from him.

Before leaving the palace today, Yu Zhou could hardly bear to ask Laixi a few words.

But he thought that he was still angry with Pei Siyuan, how could he find out about the other party's recent situation?

Thinking of this, he dismissed that idea.

That day, Yufu's family had breakfast together.

Because of taking a rest today, Yu Chengwen and Yu Zhou don't have to be on duty.

"Boss." Yu Chengwen stopped Yu Zhou after breakfast and said, "Come to my study, I have something to tell you."

Yu Zhou nodded hurriedly when he heard the words, and followed Yu Chengwen to the study.

Yu Chengwen signaled him to sit down, his attitude seemed quite gentle, even with a little smile on his face.

"I see that you are eating happily these few days?" Yu Chengwen asked suddenly.

"Well, the new cook is very skilled." Yu Zhou said hastily.

Yu Chengwen sized him up a few times, and saw that his expression was as usual, and he had no doubts or curiosity about the origin of the new cook in the house, so he couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that his son's mind was too simple, It's really poking and poking, and I don't have the slightest active mind.

"Anyway, as long as you get used to it." Yu Chengwen said.

"Father, what do you need from me?" Yu Zhou asked.

Yu Chengwen said earnestly: "Father just wants to remind you a few words. Now you and Vice Commander Pei are considered to be on the same boat. You should know something in your heart. Be more active in your work on weekdays. Don't disappoint Vice Commander Pei's promotion."

Yu Zhou: ...

Why are you talking about that person all of a sudden? They're having a fight now!

"The most important thing to be a human being is to know how to repay you with kindness. He treats you well, so naturally you should treat him wholeheartedly." Yu Chengwen said.

"Father?" Yu Zhou couldn't help asking, "What do you mean by that?"

Yu Chengwen sighed when he saw his dull face, "I still can't figure it out, how could Vice Commander Pei have such a crush on you that he has never seen any smart people in court?"

Yu Zhou: ...

Doesn't sound like a good word!

"In the past, I always hoped that you would do your duty and not stir up trouble. But now that you are working with Vice Commander Pei, you must do all the courtesy you should, otherwise people will laugh at you and say that we are from the Yu Mansion. People don't know the rules." Yu Chengwen said.

Yu Zhou asked blankly, "What etiquette?"

"Vice Commander Pei has only one family member in the capital, and that is his uncle, Marquis Pingxi." Yu Chengwen said: "Ping Xihou celebrates his birthday next month, and it is estimated that there will be wine at the mansion. Then, as Vice Commander Pei's colleague, It’s better to show it with a gift.”

"But..." Yu Zhou just wanted to say that he and Pei Siyuan are no longer what they used to be, but he was afraid of making Yu Chengwen worry if he said it, so he swallowed the words again.

"Ping Xihou was a person who made great contributions when the first emperor was in power in his early years." Yu Chengwen said: "Later, although he said that he was sick and was no longer active in the court, his contacts and reputation were still there."

Yu Zhou couldn't help wondering: "If Marquis Pingxi's reputation is still there, why is there no one to take care of Vice Commander Pei in the court?"

"Their uncle and nephew are not very close. Besides, Vice Commander Pei has an offending temperament. It would be good if others don't go to his uncle to complain. Why would he protect him because of his uncle's face?" Yu Chengwen said.

"He is not close to Marquis Ping Xi, so is it necessary for us to give gifts to Marquis Ping Xi?" Yu Zhou asked.

"You are such an elm-headed man!" Yu Chengwen sighed and said, "No matter how distant you are, you will still be the elders of his family. If you go to make fun of it then, Vice Commander Pei will naturally accept your affection."

"I..." Yu Zhou wanted to ask again.

Yu Chengwen didn't intend to break it open and break it into pieces to tell him, he waved his hand and said, "You happen to be taking a rest today, go out and buy some congratulatory gifts."

"What is the right one to buy?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Think about it for yourself, don't rely on others for everything." Yu Chengwen said with hatred.

Yu Zhou was completely dumbfounded now.

Why did he have to give Pei Siyuan's uncle a gift for no reason?

The key is for this kind of occasion, he has no experience, how could he know what to give?

But Yu Chengwen's posture seemed like he wanted to take the opportunity to exercise his son, so Yu Zhou didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After he went back, he thought about it for himself, and discussed it with Xiaohan, but he had no clue.

Generally speaking, things like gift-giving test people's social experience, which is exactly what Yu Zhou lacks the most.

So in this matter, it is safer to find someone for help.

After Yu Zhou came here, the person he was most familiar with was Pei Siyuan. Secondly...

Yu Zhou thought for a long time, but he could only think of his former colleague Liu Ji'an.

"Young master, why don't we ask Deputy Commander Pei, since it's his uncle, he must know what to give." Xiaohan said.

"I won't go." Yu Zhou resolutely refused, he was having an awkward fight with Pei Siyuan now.

Besides, it seems weird to flatter my uncle with gifts, but ask him himself.

In the end, Yu Zhou really couldn't think of a reason, so he could only go to Liu Jian'an for help.

Liu Ji'an is a well-informed person with strong social skills, so Yu Zhou thinks it is more reasonable to ask him for help.

A few days ago, Yu Zhou kept getting too close to Pei Siyuan, and the other party didn't dare to move closer.

Today, Liu Ji'an was very happy to see him coming to the door on his own initiative, stepped forward and hugged Yu Zhou's shoulder affectionately, and said, "You think of me!"

"I came here to ask you something." Yu Zhou said.

"You just can't remember me because of nothing." Liu Ji'an pretended to blame, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

In a few words, he explained to Liu Jian'an the intention of coming.

"Marquis Pingxi?" Liu Ji'an said, "Vice Commander Pei is his uncle?"

"You know him?" Yu Zhou asked hurriedly.

"I've heard of him, this person..." Liu Jianan didn't know what to think of, smiled meaningfully, and said: "This person is really interesting."

"Why do you say that?" Yu Zhou was puzzled.

Liu Ji'an said with a mysterious expression: "This gift is naturally to suit his liking, but I reckon in your situation, if you really want to give him something that suits him, that would be too much."

"Why?" Yu Zhou asked.

"You can't get it." Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou was not surprised when he heard the words. It is not unusual for these dignitaries in Beijing to like rare things, but really rare things are something that everyone can easily get.

"What my dad wants, just let me make my own." Yu Zhou said hastily.

"It's easy to say, leave it on me, and I will take you to pick it out later." Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou hurriedly thanked him when he heard the words.

"It's rare to see you today, so I'll take you to a fun place." After Liu Jian'an said, he asked him to wait in the front hall, and went back and changed into fancy clothes and came out.

"Where are you going?" Yu Zhou asked.

"You will know when you go, it will definitely open your eyes." Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou wanted to refuse at first, but thinking that Liu Jian'an had agreed to help him, he was embarrassed to refute the other party's face.The main reason was that Liu Ji'an was too enthusiastic, and before Yu Zhou could react, he dragged him out the door.

Fortunately, Yu Zhou took Xiaohan out today, and with the other party with him, he didn't worry too much about other things.

"Just go in your carriage. My carriage has taken my father to it and hasn't come back yet." Liu Ji'an pulled Yu Zhou into Yufu's carriage without any surprise, and then said to Xiaohan, "Go to Yuyuan."

Yu Zhou: ...

Why does Gui Yuyuan sound familiar?

He soon remembered that this place was another flower building in the capital, because the Xunhuan Building had been overshadowing the limelight in the past, so Liu Ji'an and his group of dudes didn't go there very often.Now that Xun Huan Building is completely closed, Gui Yu Yuan is slowly becoming lively instead.

"I don't want to go to that kind of place." Yu Zhou said.

"It's broad daylight now, what are you afraid of?" Liu Ji'an said, "I know you don't like playing with those messy things, don't worry, I'm taking you to see something good."

"Good stuff?" Yu Zhou asked puzzled.

"You'll know when you go, I'm sure you haven't seen it before." Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou was a little helpless, but then he thought about it anyway, Xiao Han was following, and when he got there, he followed Liu Jian'an's wishes, took a look at what was in the other's mouth, and then found an excuse to slip away.

When the three of them arrived at Guiyu Garden, Yu Zhou insisted on taking Xiaohan with him, but Liu Jian'an didn't say much.

Everyone asked for a private room to sit down, Liu Ji'an kept looking up at the high platform in the courtyard, as if he was expecting something.

The layout of Guiyu Garden is somewhat similar to that of Xunhuan Building, but the decoration and temperament are slightly inferior.

"Aren't you going to show me something?" Yu Zhou asked.

"It will come out in a while." Liu Ji'an said, "It's not the time yet."

Yu Zhou was a little curious by what he said, secretly thinking that there would be any strange objects on display in this flower building?

Not long after, a curtain hung down on the high platform, blocking the scene inside.

Yu Zhou stretched his head curiously, trying to see what was inside the curtain.

"Sit down, don't be in a hurry, the best show is yet to come." Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou stared at the curtain for a while, and then heard the sound of music on the high platform.

Then the curtain was opened, and there were several dancers dancing inside.

Yu Zhou frowned, and looked at Liu Jian'an with some disappointment. Doesn't that mean you have something good to read?

"I didn't lie to you, this is a hot spot, do you understand, be patient." Liu Ji'an pressed him on the chair and motioned him to wait.

Yu Zhou thought of the film and television works he had watched, and it seemed that some precious items should be displayed first, and there must be some warm-up activities first?

Thinking of this, he restrained himself and couldn't help but wonder what would be lifted out of it later...

He waited for nearly half a cup of tea before he heard the music turn. After the dancer was behind, a chair was indeed lifted out, but there was no object on it, but a person sitting on it.

"Tsk." Seeing the man coming out, Liu Ji'an couldn't help but catch his breath, and hurried to the window.

Yu Zhou was puzzled and asked, "Where is the thing? Is it in his arms?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man on the chair gently raised his hand and took off his robe.

Suddenly there was a burst of applause from around, and Yu Zhou looked around the man when he heard the sound, and asked, "Is there anything in his pocket?"

"Don't talk." Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou turned his head to look at him, and saw that the other person's face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were looking straight at the person on the high platform.

Yu Zhou followed his line of sight to look again, and saw that the person on the stage looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was a rather handsome boy.But the young man's appearance is too soft and beautiful, and he looks indisputable.

Yu Zhou is also very beautiful, but his beauty is the kind of temperament that belongs only to young people. Even if he looks soft, he doesn't look like a woman.

But this person on the stage was different, he seemed to be taller and taller than Yu Zhou in stature, but when he sat there, his gestures and gestures seemed to be indisputable.Yu Zhou took a few glances at him and felt a little weird, so he got up and wanted to leave.

"When did that thing you mentioned appear?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Isn't it?" Liu Ji'an said.

Yu Zhou was startled, looked at the person on the stage, frowned slightly, "Didn't you say something?"

"It's him..." Liu Ji'an reluctantly withdrew his gaze and glanced at Yu Zhou, "He looks like a man, but he's actually different from you and me. You'll know when his clothes are gone after a while..."

Yu Zhou looked at Liu Jian'an in disbelief upon hearing this, "You brought me here just to watch this?"

"Isn't this interesting enough?" Liu Ji'an asked back: "Have you ever seen something that is half male but not female?"

Yu Zhou frowned, this time he couldn't stay any longer.

He didn't expect that Liu Jian'an, who had been lying for a long time, wanted to bring him to watch this kind of performance!

Although he didn't ask, but hearing Liu Jian'an's meaning, he probably guessed what was going on with the young man on the stage.

He is really not interested in this kind of low-level "pastime". Firstly, he finds it a bit cruel. After all, the person on the stage is a real person, but he has to perform in public in order to satisfy the curiosity of the spectators; secondly, he thinks it is a bit low. It's commonplace, a group of men make fun of it, and he really can't blend into it.

However, he turned around and was about to leave.

However, at this moment, there was a commotion outside.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people in military uniforms came up and blocked all the doors of private rooms.

"Brother..." Liu Jianan was startled when he saw this, and asked the officer at the door, "What happened?"

"Dali Temple handles the case. Someone reported Gui Yuyuan Bai. Ri. Xuan. Prostitution. I am ordered to investigate and deal with it." The officer and soldier said coldly.

Yu Zhou: ...

This is... Sho. Huang? ? ?

How come there are still pornographic sweepers in Hualou?

Yu Zhou didn't expect such a thing to happen to him, and he felt bad immediately.

What's even more outrageous is that he didn't even think about coming. He believed Liu Ji'an's words and thought he was really looking for something rare!

If I knew it was a person, and I had to take off my clothes in broad daylight, I wouldn't have come if I killed him!

"I was wronged, I was about to leave, I didn't want to see this." Yu Zhou said to the officers and soldiers at the door.

"Be honest, don't talk too much." The officer and soldier hurriedly said.

Liu Jian'an was also in a hurry, they were officials ordered by the imperial court, it was fine to go to the flower house, but if they were investigated by the government, it would not be very good.

"Brother, is there some misunderstanding here?" Liu Ji'an hurriedly said, "We are also from the yamen."

"Which yamen?" asked the man at the door.

Seeing that there was something going on, Liu Ji'an hurriedly said: "We are all from the Zhongshu Provincial Yamen, this brother Yu is amazing, he is on duty in front of the imperial court." Liu Jian'an is cunning, he does not use his identity as the concubine's younger brother to make friends , directly sold Yu Zhou.

Hearing this, Yu Zhou really wanted to gag him, and then find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

Unexpectedly, the person at the door glanced at Yu Zhou's face, and shouted into the corridor: "Go and call Deputy Commander Pei, saying that there is someone here who claims to be a person in front of the imperial court, let him decide whether it is real or a fake .”

Pei Siyuan!

Why is he here?

So it was Pei Siyuan who followed the people from Dali Temple to sweep the flower building today. Huang, just happened to run into him?

Yu Zhou immediately imagined the pornography scene that he saw on the TV news, a group of men and women squatting on the ground with their heads folded in a row, and the police officers checked their identities and ID cards one by one.

However, now he is the one crouching on the ground with his head in his arms, and Pei Siyuan is the one checking him out.

Yu Zhou: ...

Or you'd better kill me!
