Pei Siyuan looked at Yu Zhou and saw that his eyes were full of uneasiness, as if he was really afraid that he would complain to Yu Chengwen.

"Now you know how to be afraid?" Pei Siyuan smiled.

"Will you tell him?" Yu Zhou asked in a low voice.

Pei Siyuan pretended to think seriously for a while, and said, "Because you admitted your mistake in time, and you didn't come to this kind of place alone with Liu Jian'an today, this matter... I'll keep it a secret for you."

"Really?" Yu Zhou hurriedly said, "Then... what about the future?"

Pei Siyuan said, "Let's see how you behave."

When Yu Zhou heard the words, he immediately put on a very serious attitude, which meant that he would never make such a mistake again.

"Forget it, I won't see your father today." Pei Siyuan took Yu Zhou out of the private room, and walked out while saying, "Didn't your father ask you to choose a birthday gift for my uncle? I'll help you see it." Let's see..."

Yu Zhou was worrying about this matter, and he was very happy when he saw that he wanted to help.

When the two left Guiyuyuan, Pei Siyuan took him for a casual stroll along the street, followed by Xiaohan and Pei Siyuan's personal companions.

"You haven't met my uncle, have you?" Pei Siyuan asked suddenly.

"No." Yu Zhou was foolish, the memory of the original owner did not have any memory of Marquis Pingxi.

"Actually, I don't have a close relationship with him. He is very dissatisfied with me, and probably doesn't take my nephew seriously." Pei Siyuan said.

"Then why did my father ask me to give him a birthday gift?" Yu Zhou was a little puzzled.

Pei Siyuan said: "Your father is a cautious man, and he always does things right. You are getting close to me now. According to the rules of the officialdom, when the elders in my family celebrate their birthdays, you should give some gifts."

"But you are not close, shouldn't I give you a gift?" Yu Zhou asked.

"Do you think I'm someone who is short of things?" Pei Siyuan glanced at him sideways, and said with a smile, "I reckon, your father is not sure about my thoughts, so he asked you to choose gifts yourself. He intended to It’s because you will ask me what I mean, and if I say I won’t give it to you then don’t worry about it, if I tell you what to give, your favor will be considered as a gift.”

But Yu Chengwen didn't know that Yu Zhou and Pei Siyuan had a quarrel before, so he didn't expect that Yu Zhou didn't ask Pei Siyuan, but instead asked Liu Jian'an for help.

"My father should have told me directly." Yu Zhou said dejectedly.

"Yes, it's not your fault, it's all your father's fault." Pei Siyuan laughed.

Yu Zhou secretly glanced at him, feeling that what he said didn't seem to be a good thing.

"Then what should I buy?" Yu Zhou asked.

Pei Siyuan glanced casually at the roadside stalls, as if looking for something he liked.

Yu Zhou was puzzled, "Do you want to buy it here?"

"It's not suitable here." Pei Siyuan shook his head and said.

Yu Zhou thought the same way, giving Ping Xihou a birthday gift, of course, you have to be more particular, it's not easy to take things from the roadside stalls, right?

"Look here." Pei Siyuan pulled Yu Zhou to another stall.

This stall is on the side of the road, it looks worse than the stall just now.

"This pair of vases is pretty good." Pei Siyuan pointed to a pair of porcelain vases on the ground, and asked Yu Zhou, "Does it look good?"

"Good-looking is good-looking, but isn't this a bit..." Yu Zhou said.

"How much money?" Pei Siyuan asked the stall owner.

"Young master, you have such a good vision. These pair of vases were just put on display today, and the total price of a pair is only half a tael of silver." The stall owner said.

Pei Siyuan shook his head and said, "Your price is too expensive."

"If you like it, you can discuss it again." The stall owner hurriedly said.

Pei Siyuan was dumbfounded, and asked Yu Zhou, "See if there is anything you like here?"

Yu Zhou didn't know why, but he still looked at it as he said, and finally his eyes fell on a set of wooden dolls of the Chinese zodiac.

Although the doll is not exquisite, it looks cute and cute.

"I'll give you a tael of silver, I'll buy this set of wood carvings, and I'll give you these two vases." Pei Siyuan said.

When the stall owner heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately nodded, took the wooden box, and installed the set of wood carvings.

After all, a tael of silver, not to mention vases and wood carvings, is more than enough to pull a few things from his stall.That is to say, a son like Pei Siyuan, who can see that he is not short of money, will buy things without blinking an eye.

Just as Pei Siyuan was about to pay the money, he looked at Yu Zhou foolishly and said, "You pay for the birthday gift you bought."

Yu Zhou looked dazed, and didn't realize what happened at all, so he hurriedly asked Xiaohan to withdraw a tael of silver.

"Give me the set of wood carvings you picked, and give the vases you gave me as a birthday present for my uncle." Pei Siyuan said, handing the set of wood carvings picked by Yu Zhou to his entourage, and motioned for Xiao Han to hug him. With those two vases.

"This..." Yu Zhou looked at him in shock and asked, "Isn't this appropriate?"

"What's wrong with that, the favor your father asked you to give is for me, not for others, as long as I'm satisfied." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou couldn't help but glanced at the two vases, and saw that the patterns on them were not very regular, and looked like defective products fired in a low-quality kiln.But since Pei Siyuan asked him to give this, he didn't seem to find a reason to refute it.

"Then... can I go home?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I've been shopping with you for so long, and you don't even care about me?" Pei Siyuan asked, "You can't ignore me just because you have a new cook at home!"

Yu Zhou asked, "How do you know that my family has a new cook?"

Pei Siyuan guessed it foolishly just now, but after a second thought, he didn't lie to him again, but said mysteriously: "I won't tell you."

Yu Zhou: ...

Pei Siyuan sent Xiaohan back to Yu's residence, and in the pretense of asking him to send the vase back to the residence, don't break it.

Seeing that Yu Zhou didn't object, Xiaohan took the vase back home first.

Pei Siyuan did not take the carriage, but walked with Yu Zhou, crossed the busy city and turned into a deep alley.

The alley was a little narrow, and when two people walked side by side, their shoulders could almost touch each other.

Pei Siyuan was afraid that Yu Zhou would be rubbed against the wall, so he kept being cautious, but when he got there, he got impatient, so he put the arm that was close to Yu Zhou on Yu Zhou's shoulder. So crowded.

"Actually, you can walk ahead of me." Yu Zhou whispered.

"I'll go ahead, what if you disappear when I turn around?" Pei Siyuan said seriously.

He originally meant that he was afraid that Yu Zhou would run away secretly, but when Yu Zhou heard this, he looked around and became a little uneasy.

"Where are you taking me?" Yu Zhou asked in a low voice.

"Afraid I'll sell you?" Pei Siyuan asked.

Yu Zhou was dumbfounded, "You can't."

"I'm not so stupid that you trust me so much." Pei Siyuan was moved.

"It's not about trust either. I'm such an adult, but I'm still a man, and I'm not worth much. What are you selling me for?" Yu Zhou said.

"Who said you're worthless, do you know you're like this..." Pei Siyuan said halfway, his face changed a little, and he swallowed the rest of the words.

He foolishly said that a handsome and likable boy like Yu Zhou is not worthless.In those dark corners, whether it is an item or a person, it can become a bargaining chip for some people.

But he was afraid that Yu Zhou would be frightened if he said this, so he held back and didn't scare anyone.

And with his vicious reputation, no one would dare to reach out to Yu Zhou.

The two walked through the narrow alley, and after turning a corner, they saw a faded signboard hanging at the end of the street. The words on it could no longer be read clearly, only the word tavern could be vaguely seen.

Pei Siyuan took Yu Zhou into the small courtyard with a signboard, it looked quite spacious inside.

There is a peach tree planted in the small courtyard. It is near the end of spring, and the peach blossoms are about to fail, but the remaining little reds still look quite lively in the small courtyard in the deep alley.

"Mr. Pei is here." A guy came over to greet the two of them.

Pei Siyuan greeted him, and then led Yu Zhou to sit at the small table next to the peach blossom tree.

Yu Zhou looked around the small courtyard, and found that there were only two tables in the small courtyard, which really didn't look like a tavern.

"I found this tavern by accident." Pei Siyuan said: "The owner of the tavern likes to make wine, but he doesn't make money from it, so he deliberately opened a tavern in a deep alley, and only sells wine to people who are destined "The so-called aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.

Yu Zhou heard the words and sniffed, and indeed smelled a strong aroma of wine.

"How do you know so many places like this?" Yu Zhou asked curiously.

It was the same with the noodle restaurant last time. Yu Zhou went to look for it himself, but couldn't find it.

"It means I'm free on weekdays." Pei Siyuan laughed.

While the two were talking, the bartender served the wine and two cold dishes to go with the wine.

Pei Siyuan poured himself a glass of wine with the jug, and seeing Yu Zhou looking at him, he said, "You invited me to dinner today, so I came here according to my preference. Don't drink this wine. Good, but it’s not good for your body, you’d better not touch it.”

Yu Zhou didn't like drinking at all, so he nodded.

After a while, the waiter brought out another bowl of noodles, which should have been specially cooked for Yu Zhou.

"The taste of his noodles is not as good as that of last time, but the taste is about the same." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou picked up the chopsticks and tasted it, and found that the noodles were a bit bland, but the taste was not bad.

While watching Yu Zhou eating noodles, Pei Siyuan poured himself a few cups.

He didn't put down the wine glass until half a jug of wine was down.

"Many people in the court don't understand my relationship with Mr. Huang." Pei Siyuan said with a sigh.

Yu Zhou put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at him, not knowing how to comfort him for a while.

Since ancient times, same-sex love has been regarded as a union that violates the principles of yin and yang. Even in ancient societies where masculinity prevailed, it was ultimately different from the union of two sexes.

"Many people know that I once saved Mr. Huang's life, so they think Mr. Huang favored me to repay his kindness." Pei Siyuan said: "But few people know that what happened back then was not what everyone thought."

Yu Zhou was startled, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"At that time, we were chased by bandits, and we were attacked from both sides." Pei Siyuan said: "I entrusted Da to fight with them. He was once stabbed with a sword in order to save me."

"Ah?" Yu Zhou was shocked when he heard the words, and he was not fooled that this story was completely different from what Laixi and himself had told.

"But luckily, the jade buckle on his waist blocked that blow, otherwise..." Pei Siyuan didn't go any further, but the scene must have been very thrilling.

That is the prince of a country, if he was stabbed to death by a bandit, the entire history of the Dayuan Dynasty would have to be rewritten.

"So you didn't get hurt because of him?" Yu Zhou asked.

"I was indeed injured, and it was serious, but it was after he blocked the sword for me." Pei Siyuan said.

Afterwards, Lu Zhinan kept saying that he had been optimistic about the angle and knew that the sword would not hit him.

But every time Pei Siyuan was stupid about this matter, he felt afraid.

"So... you guys are the ones who stood up for each other," Yu Zhou said.

"You should know that it is very difficult to have absolute trust between monarchs and ministers." Pei Siyuan said: "The reason why he regards me as the most trustworthy person is because he once entrusted his life to me, and he also knows in his heart that I will never betray him."

Yu Zhou didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but just looked down at the peach blossom petals that had just been brought over by the wind at the corner of the table.

"But between me and him, there are only monarchs and ministers." Pei Siyuan said.

Yu Zhou was startled, and raised his eyes to look at him with a bit of bewilderment in his eyes.

"I know, you were angry with me that day, because I lied to you." Pei Siyuan looked at Yu Zhou, and said seriously: "I did lied to you, but it wasn't what you thought, but... something else .”

"What do you mean?" Yu Zhou asked.

"There has never been any violation of the rules between Mr. Huang and I. We have only been monarchs and ministers from the beginning to the end." Pei Siyuan said: "If you insist on talking about other relationships, it probably means that there is some friendship other than monarchs and ministers. There is no other relationship. other."

Hearing this, Yu Zhou's expression became more puzzled than before, and he asked, "I don't quite understand..."

"On the first day you were on duty in the imperial study, I read your daily notes and found that you seem to have misunderstood the relationship between me and Mr. Huang." Pei Siyuan said: "I thought it was very interesting at the time, so I paid attention to it." , It was only later that I realized that you had fooled me into being his boyfriend."

Yu Zhou: ...

Why can't he understand a word?

"In the beginning I was foolish enough to expose you, but your expression is really funny every time you mention this matter, so I thought I might as well tease you again." Pei Siyuan said: "Who knows, just tease me, It was out of control..."

"I was afraid that you would be angry, so I dared not tell you the truth, so I thought I might as well make up another lie and simply tell you that I separated from Mr. Huang." Pei Siyuan smiled wryly, "I'm stupid, so you won't If you know what I teased you before, you won't get angry with me for it."

Yu Zhou looked at him innocently, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say anything.

Pei Siyuan looked at him guiltily, and said, "I'm so bored. Before you came to the Imperial Study, I didn't know that there was anyone as interesting as you in this world. So I was reluctant to expose you, and secretly read your daily life every day. Note."

To him, Yu Zhou was soft and clean, with strange things in his mind, different from everyone else in the palace.

Pei Siyuan has seen too many smart people, but there are very few people who make him feel interesting.

Yu Zhou is like a feather sent by the wind inadvertently, it lands on the softest place in his heart impartially, as long as the wind blows it gently, it can tickle his heart.

"Do you understand?" Pei Siyuan asked, "Young Master Huang and I were fake from the beginning."

Yu Zhou reacted for a long time before he came back to his senses and asked, "Are you lying to me again?"

Pei Siyuan had no choice but to smile bitterly and said: "You are so stupid, how did those people in the court scold me? If I really had an affair with Mr. Huang, how could it be possible that you knew and they didn't? If they knew, what would happen when they scolded me?" Will you not even charge me with the crime of charming the king?"

Yu Zhou followed his train of thought and acted foolishly, as if it was true.

Since ancient times, most of the people who were favored by the emperor were accused of "confusing the lord" or "demon concubine".

Pei Siyuan made countless enemies in the court, and those people were accused of all kinds of ugly crimes, but no one accused him of deceiving the Lord.

No one mentioned such an easy-to-use crime. The only possibility is...he really didn't have this crime.

"He's very smart, but he's also very boring." Pei Siyuan said, "Actually, before you came to be on duty in the Imperial Study, the time I spent by his side every day was very limited."

Although Pei Siyuan is the deputy commander of the imperial army, his job is not to be on duty in the imperial study.

Most of the reason why he often stayed there afterwards was because Yu Zhou was there.

Yu Zhou listened to his words in a daze, only feeling a mess in his mind.

Pei Siyuan's words completely overturned his long-standing perception of the relationship between the two.

He couldn't believe it all.

How could Pei Siyuan and Lu Zhinan not have that kind of relationship?

"Mr. Huang is not very masculine, and neither am I..." Pei Siyuan coughed lightly, and said, "I have never been foolish about such things before. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask. If Mr. Huang really has this hobby, Everyone in the palace must know it."

Yu Zhou was silent for a while, then said, "I'm so confused."

Pei Siyuan is self-aware, knowing that he has probably completely lost his trust with Yu Zhou.

So he was stupid, got up and said: "Come with me, I will take you to meet someone."

Yu Zhou followed him up in a daze, and asked, "Do you want to take me to see Mr. Huang?"

"En." Pei Siyuan said, "If you don't believe me, you should believe him, right?"

Although Pei Siyuan was bullied by Lu Zhinan last time, but now that he has confessed the whole thing to Yu Zhou, it is expected that Yu Lu Zhinan will not continue to bully him again.

"Can you... let me calm down?" Yu Zhou asked.

His mind was not spinning fast, and Pei Siyuan's confession was tantamount to "indiscriminate bombardment" to him. For a while, he almost lost the ability to think, let alone tell the truth from the false.

Pei Siyuan saw that his complexion was very bad. After all, he couldn't bear to persecute him, so he had to give up temporarily.

He confessed everything that should be confessed, and then he could only wait for Yu Zhou to digest all this.

That day, after Pei Siyuan brought someone out of the tavern, he sent him back to Yu Mansion.

Yu Zhou's head was full of confusion, but he still remembered that Pei Siyuan said that he was going to treat him this time, and before he left, he gave him the money for the wine that Pei Siyuan had paid for.

Pei Siyuan looked at the silver in his hand, and for a moment really didn't know what to feel stupid about.

If Yu Zhou scolded him, or even made a move, he might feel more at ease.

But the other party had no emotion at all, and he didn't say a word of serious words to him.

And Yu Zhou locked himself in the room after returning home.

He didn't understand for a while, so he didn't force himself to be stupid, but fell asleep.

After nightfall, he woke up, lying on the bed, and carefully recalled Pei Siyuan's words.

But this incident had too much impact on him, and because Pei Siyuan had a "ex-con" who lied to him, Yu Zhou couldn't decide whether he should trust Pei Siyuan for a while.

But this time he learned the lesson. Since he didn't know whether Pei Siyuan's words were credible, the best way was to find a credible person to verify.

He didn't dare to look for Lu Zhinan, after all, the other party was one of the parties involved, no matter what the answer he asked, it would be a bit embarrassing.Moreover, he is not courageous enough to ask the king of a country for gossip about the other party.

Laixi is also inappropriate, after all, he is from Lu Zhinan.

He is not familiar with other people in the palace.

In the end, Yu Zhou locked the target of the inquiry on Zhuang Sheren.

Since the other party is the living man, he must know the matter of Pei Siyuan and Lu Zhinan the best.

Moreover, Yu Zhou felt that this person had a kind of integrity in his bones, and he looked very reliable.

So, the next day, he made an appointment with the time when the other party would finish work, and went to wait outside the palace gate.

Zhuang Sheren probably wasn't stupid enough to see Yu Zhou at the gate of the palace who had sued Yu Zhou, so he was quite surprised.

"Are you okay?" Zhuang Sheren asked.

Although he was not very satisfied with Yu Zhou's work, he still liked Yu Zhou very much.

Especially after staying in the palace for a long time and seeing too many intrigues, he would prefer Yu Zhou's simple personality.

"I'm fine." Yu Zhou bowed to him and said, "Just some things, Yu asked Zhuang Sheren for advice."

Afterwards, Yu Zhou told Zhuang Sheren what he had said foolishly last night.

Although he is not smart, he also knows that he can't directly inquire about the gossip between the two, that would seem disrespectful to Lu Zhinan.

So he said that his daily life notes were not quite right, so Yu asked Zhuang Sheren for advice.

In a sense, what he said was not a lie.

After all, if he couldn't figure out the relationship between Pei Siyuan and Lu Zhinan, he couldn't write a daily note properly.

"Your daily life is not a big problem, but the portrayal of Vice Commander Pei is... a bit biased." Zhuang She said humanely.

"How do you say that?" Yu Zhou hurriedly asked.

"Since you came to ask me specifically today, I won't be ambiguous with you." Zhuang Sheren said, "You wrote it so like a script, those who didn't know would think that Vice Commander Pei and His Majesty... have a relationship other than a monarch and a minister. Woolen cloth."

The implication is that the two really only have a relationship between monarch and minister.

When Yu Zhou heard the words, he knew that Pei Siyuan probably didn't continue to lie to him this time.

"It seems to be a little bit." Yu Zhou said embarrassingly.

"You are still young, take your time in the future." Zhuang Sheren comforted: "Don't be too anxious."

Yu Zhou nodded, and asked again, "When I didn't come to the Imperial Palace to be on duty, was Deputy Commander Pei often there?"

"It's okay." Zhuang Sheren said: "Vice Commander Pei often goes out of the palace, he seems to have a lot of things to do."

Zhuang Sheren was stunned, and smiled wryly: "But Your Majesty trusts him, and you know that. If it wasn't for his whim, he wouldn't have transferred you to Yuqian from the Ministry of Education."

Yu Zhou looked at him with doubts in his eyes.

"I remember that day when he went to the imperial study and talked with His Majesty about the Xunhuan Building, His Majesty teased him a few words..." Zhuang Sheren said: "Who knows that he thinks that I recorded his embarrassing things in the daily life note?" If you go up, you will be unhappy, and only then will you have the next thing.”

Pei Siyuan's gossip about Xun Huan Lou was widely spread in the capital, and everyone knew about it.

But Zhuang Sheren can't be fooled, Yu Zhou is the one who escaped along the bed sheet in the legend.

When Yu Zhou heard him mention the past, his ears turned red, and he forced out a smile in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Zhuang Sheren only thought that he was worried about his future, so he took advantage of the situation to encourage him a few more words, and then left.

Yu Zhou left the gate of the palace in a daze, and walked aimlessly on the street, his thoughts were chaotic.

So... Pei Siyuan and Lu Zhinan are really just monarchs and ministers.

He not only made a fool of a big drama between the monarch and his ministers, but also made a scene in front of the righteous lord.

Yu Zhou was so ashamed that he had "condemned" Lu Zhinan and misunderstood Pei Siyuan.

"Brother Yu Xian, don't look at the road when you walk, so you're not afraid of bumping into people?" Pei Siyuan's voice suddenly came.

Yu Zhou was startled, and when he raised his head, he realized that Pei Siyuan was standing in front of him. If the other party didn't make a sound, he would be able to bump into him in a few steps.

Pei Siyuan's eyes fell on his face, and he asked, "Did you reply this time?"

Yu Zhou nodded, looking depressed and dazed.

"Are you angry that I lied to you?" Pei Siyuan asked.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Yu Zhou asked softly, blushing.

"It's my fault." Pei Siyuan said.

"You..." Yu Zhou felt even more guilty when he heard this.

He doesn't like to blame others when things happen, but he is good at reflecting on himself.

Facing Pei Siyuan now, he thought of his past speculations, and felt very sorry.

Pei Siyuan didn't know what was going on in his heart, he just thought he was still angry with himself, and hurriedly said: "I did something wrong, I shouldn't have deliberately concealed it from you. But you are planning the matter between me and Your Majesty in your heart, and still Guessing that I am the one being bullied by His Majesty..."

"I'm sorry." Yu Zhou said with his head down.

When Pei Siyuan saw his appearance, his heart softened, and he hurriedly said, "Can we write off all our affairs? I'll help you get rid of the daily bills, and pretend that this never happened."

Yu Zhou was startled, and hurriedly said, "Really?"

"Naturally." Pei Siyuan said, "I'm not fooling them to write me in the history books as His Majesty's favorite man when they compile history in the future."

Yu Zhou was not so stupid that Pei Siyuan was so talkative, he always felt that things were not that simple.

He was foolish, and asked cautiously: "Then do you still want some benefits?"

Pei Siyuan:! ! !

Who do you take me for?

The author has something to say:

Pei Siyuan: Am I that kind of person?
