I see how charming the emperor is

The four of them walked on the bustling Suzaku Avenue.

Chu Yan was in full swing, looking at this and touching that, he was so lively.

On the other hand, Xiao Che, even though he was walking in the noisy streets, his expression was still cold, as if none of the fireworks in the world had anything to do with him.

His footsteps stopped suddenly, and Xiao Che's expression froze instantly.

He turned back abruptly, but was left blank.

Only then did they clearly realize that someone was following them.

The person who came here has excellent martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have discovered it until now, and he disappeared very quickly, with great lightness.

Seeing his serious face, Chu Yan asked,

"what happened?"

Then he took a bunch of candied haws and stuffed them into Xiao Che's hands.

The red hawthorn wrapped in crystal clear icing sugar looks very appetizing.

But Xiao Che never likes to eat sweets.

Temperament light, taste is light.

"It's nothing."

Not sure about the identity of the visitor, Xiao Che didn't want to disturb the good interest of the few people.

The Yellow Crane Tower is overcrowded, and there is an endless stream of diners. From a distance, the long queues are like dragons.

The railing on the downstairs stretches across the river, if you eat in the building, you will be able to see the roaring waves.

"Although the Yellow Crane Tower is very famous, it's not likely to be full of customers."

Chu Yan frowned and bit down a piece of candied haws.

After finally taking Archer out for a meal, he was ruined and angry!

"This is all for Ji Jinyu, a talented scholar in Shengjing. They are holding a poetry meeting at the Yellow Crane Tower today."

The peddler on the side explained.

Where the common people in the Yellow Crane Tower can afford it, there are only a lot of people watching the poetry meeting.

Chu Yan waved his folding fan, his forehead and beard fluttered, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Che, his thin lips curled up, "Shengjing talent? I see, they are all in vain, not as good as my Archer's half a finger."

Glancing at the romantic Chu Yan, Xiao Che sullenly said,

"Since the Yellow Crane Tower is no longer available, let's find another one."

Pulling Xiao Che's sleeve, Chu Yan blinked,

"I finally came out and wanted to eat his family's eight-treasure rice."

"If you want to eat eight-treasure rice, I'm afraid you have to pass the poetry meeting."

The peddler reminded.

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Che turned his head and pulled back his sleeves little by little.

"The Yellow Crane Tower is occupied by Ji Dacai. If you want to eat, you have to compose a poem. After the poem, you can enter."

The people who came here were all for Ji Jinyu's fame, and it was the first time he saw someone going to the Yellow Crane Tower for dinner today.

"Archer, I want to eat eight-treasure rice, so go and try it."

If Xiao Che was not well-known in Shengjing, even if he was willing to let him go in the imperial examination, those old officials would not easily give up the position of Grand Master.

The agile eyes were shining brightly, Xiao Che's Adam's apple rolled, and he couldn't bear to reject his expectation.

Doesn't the master always hate participating in poetry meetings the most, why is it so uncharacteristic today?

Alan followed behind the two, secretly puzzled, and was about to go forward but was held back by Wei Xianchong beside him.

"Hey, look at this pearl and jade hairpin, it matches your clothes today."

Wei Xianchong doesn't know how to please girls, but it's always right to buy, buy, buy.

Looking up again, the two of them had long been lost in the crowd, Alan was so angry that he threw off Wei Xianchong's arm and chased after him.

"Why are you still angry..."

His palm was empty, Wei Xianchong bowed his head in despair, that hairpin is really suitable for Ah Lan.

After searching around, Ah Lan didn't see the two of them, only heard the voices of people around.

"There were two sons who went in just now. I wonder if their poems will win the favor of Ji Dacai."

"If he is really favored, a letter of recommendation will be handed in, and the official career will be prosperous in the future. It is said that Dong Shangshu will come today."

This Ji Jinyu is Dong Cunrui's protégé, so it's understandable for him to support the scene.

Presumably those two young masters were the master and Chu Yan, A Lan rushed to the door of the restaurant, but was stopped by someone.

"Is the girl here for poetry?"

To poetry?She hates reading the most, how can she know any poems.

After thinking about it, Alan nodded again and again,

"I'm just here to find that Ji Dacai's poems."

"Okay, I'll name the upper pair, and the girl will give the lower pair."

Alan nodded in response, it shouldn't be difficult to match the pair.

"Wangjiang tower, watching the river flow, watching the river flow from the Wangjiang tower, the river flow through the ages, the river tower through the ages."

What the hell?

Looking at what kind of building, what kind of river building, what is it and what is it.

Alan was almost dizzy, and surrendered again and again,

"Brother, I just went in to find my master, so you should hold your hand high."

"The rules cannot be broken, the girl can wait here."

The little brother just won't let him go. In the busy city, Ah Lan won't really use the whip.

Upstairs, the private room is quiet, filled with tea mist, except for the sound of the surging river, there is no noise.

Through the bead curtain and mist, Xiao Che could vaguely see a person lying on the inside, with a green shirt and hair, holding a scroll.

"Competition poetry stage, competition poetry talent, poetry competition competition poetry stage, poetry stage peerless, poetic talent peerless."

Seeing the two people approaching gracefully, Ji Jinyu raised his eyes, thinking about the pair that Xiao Che had given just now.

"May I ask which son came up with this pair?"

Ji Jinyu became interested, got up and embraced the curtain, the clattering sound of pearls and jade made Xiao Che raise his eyes.

"Of course it's my Archer."

Chu Yan showed off all over his face, and put his elbow on Xiao Che's shoulder.

His shoulders sank, Xiao Che cupped his hands in a salute, avoiding Chu Yan's touch without a trace.

It's not good to be so intimate in front of outsiders.

"We just want to come to the Yellow Crane Tower for dinner, so please come out to me, my lord."

Xiao Che wanted to make a quick decision.

"Archer? If you dare to ask, is your surname Xiao?"

"Yes."

Xiao Che frowned, his eyes darkened, and his breathing suddenly stagnated.

"So you are the person the teacher talked about yesterday."

Ji Jinyu became more interested, and took a few steps forward to look at Xiao Che.

Standing like an orchid orchid and a jade tree, with a majestic posture, except for this face, which is a little bland, the rest are all excellent.

It's just that I don't know if this person has the name of a unicorn genius as the teacher said.

Standing in front of Xiao Che, Chu Yan was not happy,

"If you are poetry, you are poetry. Why are you so close?"

Ji Jinyu chuckled and took a few steps back.

"Since we are in the Yellow Crane Tower, how about using the Yellow Crane Tower?"

Xiao Che didn't raise his head, he was not interested,

"Master, please."

Walking to the window, Ji Jinyu looked at the river, his eyes were dark and deep, "The waves are rolling outside the railing, and if you are a hero through the ages, you can't hold back the river."

Following his line of sight, Xiao Che saw the cranes flying over the river, pondered for a moment, and replied, "The sun and the moon are magnificent in the window, and you can look out at all seasons, and you have seen yellow cranes coming from the west."

The Yellow Crane is gone and will never return, leaving only the old man and the Yellow Crane Tower standing here.

"That's right!"

The door was opened, and Dong Cunrui applauded.

Chu Yan's eyebrows twitched, how could he still meet acquaintances when he was out of the palace?

Taking a step back, Chu Yan retreated behind Xiao Che.

Noticing his small movements, Xiao Che laughed inwardly, for the dignified emperor would skip class and be caught by his master.

"Dong Shangshu."

Xiao Che saluted respectfully.

For Dong Cunrui, he can still afford this gift.

"Since the pair is out, we will leave first."

Chu Yan kept hiding behind him, obviously he didn't want to be recognized.

"The test list has been released, doesn't Mr. Xiao want to know his ranking?"

Dong Cunrui's thoughts were all on Xiao Che, but he didn't notice the young man in red behind him.

Now is the time when the list is released, and others have already followed the list, so he still has time to eat.

"It should be mine, and no one else can snatch it away. Let nature take its course, and it will last forever."

Xiao Che pulled Chu Yan over and prepared to leave.

Nowadays, people's hearts are impetuous, and everyone in the world is rushing about for fame and fortune, a temperament like Xiao Che's who doesn't fight or grab is very suitable for him.

Very good, very good, Dong Cunrui showed a satisfied smile.

Seeing that the two were about to leave, Ji Jinyu hurriedly shouted,

"Hey, Young Master Xiao, stay a step, I haven't declared you the winner yet."

Being able to get Ji Jinyu's recognition and appreciation, Archer's official career will be more stable after becoming an official.

Just as Chu Yan wanted to grab his sleeve, he heard Xiao Che's refusal, "No need, I'm here at the Yellow Crane Tower just for dinner."

He just wanted to have a meal, why is it so difficult?

Seeing that Xiao Che didn't intend to do this, Ji Jinyu wasn't attached either. After all, the world is big and eating is the biggest thing.

There is also the red-clothed man behind Xiao Che, tsk tsk, he is so tightly guarded, he is not a manly man, and he cannot compete with him.

Downstairs, Chu Yan ordered a table of dishes, among which the eight-treasure rice in Yellow Crane Tower, which is famous in Shengjing, was placed in the middle.

This plate of eight-treasure rice alone takes up one-third of the dining table.

The base is made of glutinous rice, with a layer of bean paste and purple sweet potato spread in the middle, some walnuts, raisins and dates are sprinkled on top, and some honey is poured at the end.

It was steaming hot, and the rice was fragrant. Chu Yan impatiently tasted the chopsticks, "Well, it's really delicious."

After eating sweets, Chu Yan raised his eyebrows and eyes. Seeing that Xiao Che hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time, he gave him another chopstick, "This eight-treasure rice is delicious, Archer, please try it."

As for sweets, he didn't like it very much, but Xiao Che was defeated by Chu Yan's shining expectant eyes.

I took a bite and put it in my mouth. The sweetness of honey mixed with the fragrance of rice didn't seem so unpalatable.

When Ah Lan entered the door, he saw his master eating sweets, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Is it tasty?"

Chu Yan put his head up, his face full of praise and appreciation.

Xiao Che had some honey on the corner of his mouth, and licked it with the tip of his tongue, feeling a little bewitched in his abstinence.

"It's okay."

"Master, don't you never eat sweets?"

Alan sat at the dining table in a huff.

In the past, the owner didn't even look at the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and autumn pear paste that she made by herself.

Putting another mouthful of eight-treasure rice into his mouth, Chu Yan said vaguely, "I don't want to see who made it."

The little Tsundere face made Alan want to hit someone.

"Sit down and eat."

Xiao Che took a sip of the tea, the sweetness lingering on the tip of his tongue still made him uncomfortable.

Forget it, the master has spoken, so she doesn't care about this guy anymore.

There was a storm on the dinner table, let alone others, Ah Lan's open mouth was enough to stuff an egg.

"This, is your family abusing you and denying you food?"

A large plate of eight-treasure rice fell into Chu Yan's belly, plus a drunken duck, and countless side dishes.

"I'm growing taller, so I can't eat more."

Chu Yan didn't even raise his eyes, and continued to grill the rice.

Xiao Che frowned, glanced at Chu Yan's stretched stomach, and took out a red pill from his sleeve.

"Take this pill after eating."

Seeing his doubts, Xiao Che added,

"Strengthen the stomach and eliminate food."

"Archer still cares about me."

Chu Yan took it and continued to grill the rice.

Although Chu Yan ate a lot, he ate very elegantly, but compared to the mess on the table, Xiao Che still didn't notice.

Pulling Xiao Che's sleeve, Ah Lan paused in the air with the hand that picked up the chopsticks, "Master, he's still eating."

She has never dropped the chopsticks since she picked them up, watching the food in front of her be swept away.

Xiao Che remained silent, nodded his head, and his eyes flashed solemnly.

Chu Yan didn't look like he was hungry, but like a child who was gluttonous and didn't know how hungry he was.

At this time, Wei Xianchong came in, and seeing the two people sitting around the table in a daze, and Chu Yan who was feasting, he was not surprised.

After the dishes on the table were cleared, Chu Yan stopped and burped contentedly.

Although the other three moved their chopsticks a few times, they must not be full.

"Archer, would you like a plate of eight-treasure rice?"

Chu Yan licked the corner of his mouth, still feeling unfinished.

Besides, he saw that Xiao Che didn't eat much, and he ate up all of it, so he felt sorry.

Xiao Che shook his head again and again, for fear that Chu Yan would order another plate, not because he was afraid of spending money, but mainly because he was afraid that he would overwhelm him to death.

Finding a secluded place for a stroll to digest food, Xiao Che looked around calmly, but the man in black at the market did not appear again.

Maybe it wasn't for him?

Xiao Che glanced at the drowsy Chu Yan, sighed, and fell asleep after eating, is he raising pigs?

However, since those people came for Chu Yan, let him return to the palace as soon as possible.

Looking at the back of Xiao Che leaving, Chu Yan was full of sadness, "Do you think he dislikes me for being too edible?"

So, it's scaring off?

Obviously the atmosphere just now was very harmonious, why did he just leave, and the excuse he made was so perfunctory.

"You can eat and sleep, you are someone like Mr. Xiao who runs a pig farm."

Wei Xianchong, who had run into a wall at Alan's, was in a bad mood, plus he didn't even have a full meal at noon, which would make him even more pissed off.

"Huh? But the people who run the pig farm will give the pigs pills that invigorate the stomach and eliminate food?"

Chu Yan hadn't woken up yet, with his misty phoenix eyes open, he was out of state.

Well, he should hurry up and send this dog back to the palace, if this continues, people and dogs will go crazy sooner or later.

——Excerpt from "Couple Collection"

There are waves rolling outside the railings, no matter who is a hero through the ages, he can't hold back the great river.

The sun and the moon are majestic between the windows, and you can look out at the four o'clock, and you have almost seen the yellow crane coming from the west.
