The Palace of Peach and Plum

Chapter 29:

There is no need for ice in early summer, especially in the morning. On a rare vacation, Ling Wei was sleeping soundly under a thin quilt. He was suddenly awakened by a harsh laughter. Before opening his eyes, he felt a very heavy object pressing on him and almost made him vomit. .

“Oh…” Ling Wei’s sleepiness disappeared suddenly, and he opened his eyes angrily, and saw an enlarged black fat face in front of him.

“Jintang Jintang, I’m here to play with you alone…cough cough, I’m visiting you, get up quickly.” The fat prince thumped on Ling Wei, whose body was pressed down by his stronger and heavier body. Creak creak. Ling Wei felt that his body was going to be broken.

“His Royal Highness, will you get up first?” Ling Wei gritted his teeth.

“No…Oh…” The fat prince turned his head and looked at Li Lin, who was able to lift him up with one hand holding his back collar. He suddenly wilted, “Uncle Wang, ha…haha, Gu is just talking to Jintang. Playing around.”

“Sorry.” Li Yin frowned, apologetic.

“It’s okay, I’ll get up first.” Ling Wei didn’t care about the embarrassment of being broken into the bedroom-can he still care about a nine-year-old bear kid? That bear kid is still a prince!

As for Li Yin also broke in… It was good! Ling Wei looked at the fat prince with a quail-like face shrunken in his neck, and gave Li Bin a compliment in his heart.

Li Ying was obviously very ashamed of this kind of rude intrusion into other people’s bedroom. His cheeks were reddish as if he was drunk, and Ling Wei couldn’t help but stared blankly.

“I’ll take the prince out to wait for you.” Ling Wei came back to his senses only after Li Yin said aloud, and he was embarrassed and agreed with a dry smile.

Li Ying put the fat prince on the ground, and the fat prince followed him out of the house dejectedly. Li Yin walked to the door and when he was about to close the door, he gave a dry cough and whispered: “Although the weather is getting hot now, Jintang still has to cover the quilt to prevent it from getting cold… his stomach.”

After speaking, Li Ying closed the door in a panic like Fu Ye.

Ling Wei lowered his head silently, looking at the white-flowered belly exposed under the quilt that he lifted up and the shirt that he lifted up, calmly tore off the hem of his clothes to cover his belly.

Isn’t it just showing his belly? If it gets hotter, he will still sleep naked.

But Li Yin’s shy look is really good.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

After Ling Wei dressed and washed, and went out slowly, he found that the fat prince was enjoying his breakfast beautifully.

“This meat bun is really delicious.” The fat prince took a bite. “It’s just too small.”

“That is called Xiaolongbao.” Ling Wei twitched the corner of his mouth and sat next to the fat prince. The servant immediately brought a bowl of viscous green vegetable millet porridge, a drawer of Xiaolongbao and a tea egg.

“What is this?” The bear kid immediately snatched the black tea eggs, “Is it delicious?”

“Tea eggs, you’ll know if you eat them.” Ling Wei took the tea eggs back from the bear child and peeled off the shell to reveal the brown eggs inside.

“I don’t like to eat hard boiled eggs, they have no taste.” The child bear frowned and shook his head.

“Bite a bite and spit it out if it doesn’t taste good.” Ling Wei handed the egg to the bear child.

The bear child smelled the scent that was different from ordinary boiled eggs, hesitated and said: “The queen said that food is precious and must not be wasted.”

Even though he said that, the bear kid took a bite of the tea egg with Ling Wei’s hand, and his eyes lit up: “It’s delicious!”

“Here.” Ling Wei wanted to pass the bitten egg to the bear child, but the bear child ate the egg with Ling Wei’s hand bit by bit.

“It’s delicious!” The bear child looked at Ling Wei with bright eyes.

“You have eaten a drawer of Xiaolongbao and a large bowl of millet porridge. If you eat too much, you can’t digest it.” Ling Wei slowly peeled a tea egg and ate it by himself.

“The lone can still eat!” The fat prince patted his stomach, “The lone is still growing!”

“Okay, eat one more, you can only eat one.” Ling Wei asked the fat prince to serve another half bowl of green vegetable and millet porridge. “If you eat too much, you should feel uncomfortable.”

The fat prince took a small steamed bun from the drawer in front of Ling Wei: “I know, Jintang is long-winded.”

“If Yingfei doesn’t have enough food, let them steam some more?” Ling Wei asked.

He can’t eat much for breakfast alone, just because he made some fresh food to give to the kitchen, so whenever he takes a break, Li Yin always eats with Ling Wei, and he is even used to Ling Wei’s three meals a day. How to eat.

Generally speaking, there are only two dinners here, other times when you are hungry, you will eat some cakes and the like to cushion your stomach. However, Ling Wei is used to three meals a day. In the past few years, living in Luma Mansion had no conditions to follow his own rules of life. Now that he moved out, it was natural how happy he came.

Because today’s day off, Li Ying is definitely going to have breakfast with Ling Wei, so the kitchen made more of it early. But when the fat prince came, there was definitely not enough food.

“I already ordered the kitchen when I came.” Li Ying said. Sure enough, fresh steamed buns arrived in the kitchen after a while.

“Why does Jintang call it Xiaolongbao? What is Xiaolongbao? Obviously small meat buns.” The fat prince was not idle while eating. The unspoken rule is a piece of waste paper in front of the bear child.

Look, Jintang and Uncle Wang both talked, so why can’t he talk?

“In the place I used to live, steamed buns with stuffing are called buns.” Ling Wei’s appetite is estimated to be the smallest of the three, even though he has a lot of appetite after exercising. So he was the fastest to finish it.

After the bear child had eaten breakfast, Ling Wei escorted the bear child to rinse his mouth with warm water soaked with mint leaves, and dipped the toothbrush made of willow branches with salt to brush his teeth. I really don’t know why, both modern and ancient bear children hate brushing their teeth so deeply.

“If you don’t brush your teeth, be careful to turn your mouth full of yellow teeth. It’s ugly.” Ling Wei knocked the fat prince on the head. “There will be cavities! The teeth will rot!”

“I won’t be lonely.” The fat prince covered his mouth, “I’m done, I’m going out to play alone!”

“Okay, you haven’t said how you came out yet.” Ling Wei is typically thinking about things when his stomach is full.

“Qichen has long been clamoring to go to Jintang Mansion to play, and the emperor hasn’t allowed it. Some time ago, the emperor was very happy after taking the exam for Qichen’s homework and riding and shooting. If he didn’t pay attention, he would answer Qichen’s questions.” Li Yin explained. road.

“Ankang and Jinque are also arguing about coming out, but they are still young, and the queen is not at ease.” The fat prince was proud. Wouldn’t he be able to dominate Jintang if the two kids came along?

“Well, then, your Royal Highness, what are you going to play?” The two people in front of you are familiar people who can no longer be familiar, and Ling Wei is too lazy to pretend. He leaned back in the chair lazily, yawning.

“The last time I didn’t go to the champion building, I was stopped by the bad guys. I was going to the champion building.” The child bear expressed his obsession with the place where he didn’t go.

Ling Wei rolled his eyes: “Zhuangyuan Building? Do you still want to be besieged again? Do you know how big your trouble was last time? Did your Majesty take a lot of effort to suppress that incident? Was your majesty hit the board?”

“I just want to go, I want to go…” When the fat prince saw that Ling Wei disagreed, he had to resort to a trick of crying and making trouble, but when he looked up and saw Li Yin’s cold face, his imposing manner immediately wilted, and he whispered. “I just want to go…”

The fat prince plunged headlong into Ling Wei’s arms, arching back and forth.

“Okay, okay, go.” Ling Wei rubbed the fat prince’s head, “Anyway, after so long, no one may remember us.”

“Jintang, you love Qichen too much.” Li Ying frowned. How can a prince of a country be so spoiled?

“The prince is usually very solemn. It’s nice to be lively in private.” Ling Wei smiled. In modern times, this is just a kid in the third grade of elementary school. Even the prince must have a happy childhood. Besides, the emperor looked so healthy, the prince could not tell how long he would be. From now on, the young adult has been working hard to be a mature prince of the country. This maturity has matured for so many years, and it will not be able to sustain it later.

It’s good to be happy and childish for a few years, and your Majesty is also happy to look at it.

Besides, the prince did not pull down what he learned.

Seeing Ling Wei’s insistence, Li Yin thought about the support of the emperor’s brother and the emperor’s wife in the palace. He sighed and said nothing else.

“I’ll go together too, Qichen will be better, don’t make trouble for Jintang.” Li Ying said.

The fat prince was immediately happy: “I can’t be alone! I’m very lonely, right, Jintang!”

“Yes, yes, your Royal Highness is the best.” Ling Wei smiled, “Then we have to change the name now, call cousin, listen?”

“not called!”

“cut…”

“When going out, naturally use a pseudonym.” Li Yin sighed. Is it really good to let the prince go so far?

“Gu… well, my name is Qichen?” the fat prince asked.

“Prince, your name is still known by many people.” Ling Wei said, “Are there others?”

“Oh, it’s troublesome to choose a name, Jintang will pick one for me.”

How can I name the prince? Ling Wei turned to Li Yin for help.

Li Ying tore off the fat prince who was still lying in Ling Wei’s arms: “Qi Chen’s original meaning is Qiming, and Taibai Jinxing, so it’s called Chang Geng.”

“Then what’s my last name?” The fat prince was still satisfied with this name.

“Yan, take the country as the surname.” Li Ying said, “My name is Yan Yingfei.”

“Not many people know Yingfei’s words,” Ling Wei nodded, “Knowing Yingfei’s words, you can probably guess who the prince is, and you will be more restrained in time.”

People who don’t know don’t need them to guess.

“I think Chang Geng’s name is better than Qi Chen. If he tells his father to change his name, will his father agree to it?” the cheating fat prince said innocently.

“I think your majesty will beat you.” Ling Wei calmly said, he pushed the black fat man, “change clothes, do you have extra clothes? You don’t look like a scholar, but don’t meet boring people. . Yingfei also go and change his clothes, right?”

“Okay.” Li Yinti slipped the prince back home to change clothes.

Ling Wei sighed up to the sky, deciding that this kind of good deed of taking a bear child to the street must not be carried on her own. Especially when you go to the champion’s building, you will always encounter “douwen” things. In the past, this kind of thing would not be his turn, but now although the “San Zi Jing” and “Thousand Characters Wen” have not been promoted, the news has already spread. This literati circle is so big, as long as you know it, you basically know it. People are afraid of being famous and afraid of being strong. Now when he goes to the Zhuangyuan Building, he will inevitably encounter one or two people who intend to “beat” himself and become famous.

So you must find someone to act as a shield.

Ling Wei immediately sent someone to send a post to Zhao Mansion and Liu Mansion, and asked Liu Qi and Zhao Gui, who were also at home, to go to the champion building, “with distinguished guests.”

After doing all these things, Ling Wei slowly waited for the one-year-old and the one-child to change clothes, and then slowly went to the champion building.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Because Ling Wei is in the inner city closest to the imperial city, the journey to the champion building is longer than that of Zhao Gui and Liu Qi. When Ling Wei arrived, Liu Qi and Zhao Gui were already waiting in front of the building.

“You two have been waiting? Why don’t you go up and sit down first?” Ling Wei joked, “You two are standing here, it’s too eye-catching.”

The corner of Liu Qi’s mouth twitched. Those who can be described by Ling Wei as a distinguished guest, how dare they both sit and wait? I didn’t think it was until I was familiar with it before I knew how narrow this little brother Ling was.

“I have seen…” Just as Liu Qi and Zhao Gui wanted to salute, they were stopped by Ling Wei.

“Well, go in, this my brother, this my nephew, take them to see the world.” Ling Wei said with a smile.

“…” Zhao Gui & Liu Qi.

Seeing the world or something, can you be better?

“Why lonely… I dropped a generation for nothing?” The fat prince said dissatisfied.

Ling Wei said solemnly: “Because I can’t introduce Yingfei to my elder, right? Right, Yingfei?”

“Yes.” Li Yin nodded in satisfaction, and greeted the two of them as a face, and led the fat prince into the champion building with Ling Wei one by one.

“Why do I feel that something is wrong?” Zhao Gui looked at the two people walking in front with the child in confusion.

“What’s wrong, that’s the prince.” Liu Qi frowned and raised his heel.

“What?!” Zhao Gui was taken aback. He never had a chance to meet the prince. Why did Ling Jintang kidnap the prince? and many more! The kid who was crying before…

Zhao Gui shook, and decided that he didn’t want to think about anything. People, sometimes it’s better to think less.

As for the strangeness that he felt just now, he left it behind.

Ling Wei expected someone to find a ballast, and then his face slap did not happen. It seems that although his name has been spread out, not many people know his face.

However, Zhao Gui and Liu Qi attracted a lot of attention because they were regular visitors to the champion’s building, and they were also in this session of the new science and technology exploration and biography. The three “comrades” brought by the two of them are even less noticeable.

The fat prince was very interested before he came to the champion building, but when he arrived at the champion building, he felt boring.

To put it bluntly, the champion building is actually a restaurant and tea house. It’s just that there are many students, and scholars like to meet friends here through literature.

But the fat prince could not be idle, and he didn’t like the scholars except Ling Wei, and he didn’t like to listen to all the scholars except Ling Wei, so he soon felt bored.

“Look, I said I won’t let you come.” Ling Wei called for a pot of tea and a pot of white water. “The food here tastes good, but you can’t eat it anymore, right?”

“You can eat it!” Hearing that there is something delicious, the fat prince finally raised his energy, “What is delicious?”

“Put a copy of the signature snacks here. When you leave, bring a copy to the palace.” Ling Wei knew that Zhao Gui and Liu Qi had probably guessed the identity of the two, and did not hide it, “Houde, Antai, I’m sorry to let you accompany you.”

“No problem, no problem.” Although they were a little surprised and worried, they said that it was impossible to be unhappy to have the opportunity to be alone with Qin and the Prince. Even if Liu Qi is the queen’s nephew, the queen has always been cautious and rarely allows her natal family to get along with the prince to avoid the suspicion of partying. So Liu Qi met the prince, but never said anything.

These two young talents will be able to be named on the gold list before they can stand. Naturally, they also have great ambitions in their hearts. There is also a lot of curiosity about the prince.

There is a rumor that the prince is smart, just like the current emperor; some people say that the prince is dull, far inferior to his elder brothers. Especially the matter of the former Tai Fu before, the troubles became even more turbulent. Although Yu Xueguo later said that he almost missed the prince because of his shame, most people believed it. But there are always rumors that he was forced by royal power.

Whenever hearing these rumors, Ling Wei felt that the current emperor is still very generous. If in the Ming Dynasty, those who dared to say these things would have been arrested by the factory guards a long time ago.

The fat prince was still very arrogant in front of outsiders, which was reflected in the fact that he only talked to Ling Wei and Li Yin, and basically ignored the other two.

Little children, they are spoiled children, and they always show their own preferences clearly.

Even Liu Qi is regarded as Fatty’s cousin, and even closer by blood than Ling Wei. After all, Princess Chang Le is the first daughter of the emperor. But in the eyes of Little Fatty, this is a stranger.

“Well, in addition to eating, you can also see the characteristics of the champion building.” Ling Wei was a little embarrassed to see Liu Qi and Zhao Gui being left out, and couldn’t help sighing. The two of them have good knowledge, but they are still a little more tender in the world. I guess it will be better if I become an official for a few more years, right?

“What feature?” the little fat man asked.

“Speaking of literary theory.” Ling Wei poured a glass of white water for the little fat man. Since he made the tea leaves, the people in the palace have been raised up and couldn’t drink the messy tea soup. However, they have not yet started selling tea, nor have they spread the prescription, so they can’t drink it outside. “Houde and Antai are both talented people. Listen carefully, ask if you don’t understand, and talk if you want to join the discussion.”

“Understood.” The little fat man nodded. It turned out that Jintang wanted to give him classes in another place.

Zhao Gui and Liu Qi looked at each other, and they probably understood what Ling Wei was thinking. Although it feels incredible for the prince to listen to Ling Wei’s words like this, he still has to grasp the opportunity to be able to perform in front of the prince.

“Since Yingfei is here, let’s talk about the method of deploying soldiers and frontier warfare.”

Zhao Gui: “…”

Liu Qi: “…”

Isn’t it the way of Confucius and Mencius? !

Ling Wei blinked innocently. Li Ying is here, of course he has to talk about what he is interested in, how can he not let Li Ying feel bored.

Li Yin smiled at Ling Wei, and was very helpful to Ling Wei.

“The art of war is good, I am interested in this!” The little fat man was very happy. This is more interesting than Confucianism and Mencius.

Zhao Gui and Liu Qi can only bite the bullet and follow along.

However, the two are indeed knowledgeable, although they are not studying the art of war, but they also know a little bit. And the two are not unreasonable people. After the establishment of Yan Dynasty, the frontier wars were frequent, and there were scattered wars in the east, west, south and north. These years have only been better, so of course the two of them had studied the frontier wars and alien affairs.

Generally speaking, the talks are more enjoyable.

What surprised Zhao Gui and Liu Qi was that Li Ying was known as the “God of War” prince. Needless to say, his wit, but he didn’t expect Ling Wei to know the frontier as if he was there in person.

No, maybe Ling Wei has actually visited. He has seen wars overseas, and he has also seen Yan Chao’s frontier.

The prince also surprised them. His knowledge was much broader than they thought, and even better than when they were at this age.

“If you listen and read a lot, you will know a lot.” The fat prince was quite reserved in front of others. “The two are also well-educated.”

Zhao Gui and Liu Qi hurriedly said they didn’t dare. After the two of them decided to go back, they must talk about how clever the prince was, how much he had learned, and his insights were beyond ordinary people, which was simply better than the best praised outsiders.

Why does such a prince still spread such unbearable words? Why hasn’t His Majesty the emperor made vigorous remediation?

In other words, who is it that deliberately let this false statement come out?

The two were born in a big family, and their conspiracy theories are well-informed.

They don’t know, at least so far, it’s really not a conspiracy theory. It was just a mess made by a pedantic and unconcealed old master.

Although it was quite boring at first, the prince was still quite interested after the real chat. After all, there are so many people in the palace, and there is almost no opportunity for him to communicate with outsiders.

But the more we talked, although the prince recognized the knowledge of the two, he still felt that the two of them were far behind Ling Wei. Not to mention the number of books that I have read, or the amount of knowledge I have said, just to say the words, it is not as interesting as Ling Wei. A good sentence, you must add some esoteric words, which makes people listen irritable.

Isn’t it possible to speak well? Obviously, it was normal when I had just had a conversation.

The prince who was still a child sneered.

He didn’t know that what these two people said was the written language commonly used by literati, and that was respect for him.

“Jintang’s learning has improved again.” Liu Qi couldn’t help sighing.

No wonder the teacher always regrets that he failed to receive this disciple under his own name. If it is Jintang, I can’t say that I can’t really achieve the reputation of the three yuan and the first. At least so far, he hasn’t seen Bi Jintang who knows more widely and deeply.

I really don’t know how many books he has read. I heard that he went straight to the palace to read because he had no books at home after the separation? There must be many orphans in that palace, right? Liu Qi feels itchy. As a scholar, I always have a preference for books.

If Jintang memorizes it, can he let Jintang write it to him silently? He can exchange it with his own original copy.

“In three years, Jintang will definitely be a high school.” Zhao Gui also admired this increasingly perverted junior. This has only been studied for a few years.

“It doesn’t take three years, next year will be fine.” The prince accidentally leaked his mouth.

“What?” Ling Wei suddenly had a bad feeling.
