Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands to everyone present, and then, in the eyes of outsiders, he led the palace lady who had done something wrong before and left towards the back.
But when he arrived at a place with few people, Zhu Yunxi looked at the little Gong'e who lowered her head: "Go back, we will send the iced food to the front court later."
Cai Die, who had kept her head down so that no one could see her face, immediately raised her head with a smile on her face and nodded excitedly.
Zhu Yunxi watched the little girl leave with a smile, shook his head and turned towards the place where Zhang Zhiyuan was before.
But before he took two steps, he stopped again.
Then a weird smile appeared on his face.
"Why, you came here?"
He didn't show up at the normal banquet. Instead, he was leaning against Xie Jin in the corner with a jug of wine and a roasted leg of lamb.
Xie Jin burped out of wine with some embarrassment: "The wine in the palace is very delicious. I don't dare to drink too much in front of the emperor, so I have to come here."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head to look at the two fallen wine bottles at Xie Jin's feet, and couldn't help but stare at Xie Jin, whose face was glowing red.
"Did it all come from the gentleman?"
Xie Jin opened his mouth, nodded, and let out a wine burp that could be repeated a thousand times, extremely loud and clear.
"The wine in the palace is still not intoxicating..."
Zhu Yunxi shook his head: "Are you drunk?"
Jie Jin shook his head, as if he had drunk too much. He groaned and reached out to eat the last bite of meat from the lamb leg, then threw away the bone, and then propped up the wall, leaving a dark mark.
Zhu Yunxi was afraid that this guy would fall to the ground after drinking too much, so he took a step forward and prepared to help him.
But he didn't want Jie Jin to suddenly say in a calm tone: "Your Highness must not marry a civil servant in the court, or a family of poets and writers. This move... hiccup..."
Hiding here, I can actually know what happened in front.
Zhu Yunxi stopped trying to help Xie Jin, stared at him carefully, and took two steps back: "It seems that he didn't drink too much."
This guy's heart is like a bright mirror, he can see clearly.
After Xie Jin finished speaking, he immediately sat on the ground, shook his head and murmured to himself while holding the wine bottle.
"Not much..."
"Not even half a cent is much..."
"My minister brought a carriage today just to bring him back..."
"Pull back some of the palace's fine wine..."
The sound of Zhu Yunxi’s leaving footsteps has already sounded.
Jie Jin, who kept murmuring in a low voice, suddenly got agitated again, trembled all over, and the wine bottle in his hand rolled to the ground.
And his eyes gradually regained some clarity.
Just as he was about to get up, his peripheral vision caught sight of the little eunuch huddled in a remote place. He immediately became shaky again and stumbled up while holding on to the wall.
"Wine!"
"I haven't had enough to drink today!"
When the little eunuch saw Xie Hanlin walking towards him, he immediately retracted his body, hid in secret and left to the palace of the concubine in the East Palace.
Xie Jin leaned against the pillar and listened quietly. It wasn't until the footsteps in the distance disappeared that he let out a sigh of relief.
……
And on the other side.
Listening to the drama coming from ahead, Zhu Yunxi strolled forward.
Not long after, I saw Zhu Yunwen, a small flag officer of the Yulin Guard, who is now the king of Guangling County, guarding Zhang Zhiyuan. He looked quite distracted, pacing back and forth with his hands together.
Zhu Yunxi looked around silently.
Perhaps it is because there is a banquet in the East Palace today and there are no palace people walking around here.
Zhu Yunxi coughed slightly and saw Zhang Zhiyuan immediately stopped walking back and forth and looked back at the person.
Then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he gradually became a little moved.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists and bowed: "I mark Zhang Zhiyuan, the small flag of the Yulin Guard of the pro-army army, to see your highness."
After he discovered something strange earlier, he felt very complicated, and then he hid here because he wanted to report the news to Zhu Yunxi.
It's just that there was some hesitation, which made it seem so difficult to advance or retreat.
Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhang Zhiyuan: "Why is Zhang Xiaoqi here?"
He was asking questions knowingly.
I could tell that Zhang Zhiyuan had something on his mind and something to say, but he refused to mention it.
Just like that day, Sun Cheng invited Zhang Zhiyuan out to have a drink, and he only showed that he was present at the time.
In the days that followed, he never contacted Zhang Zhiyuan again, and even Sun Cheng never came to see Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan's heart skipped a beat. After pondering for a long time, a look of gratitude appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank Your Highness. I borrowed it from Sun Baihu a few days ago and gave it to the house for the safety of Biao's family. I will never forget it.
Your Highness is kind and caring."
"It's just an ordinary effort." Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, because standing on the steps, he could maintain a posture of looking down at Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan paused and took a deep breath: "Your Highness, there is something wrong with the troupe that entered the palace today!"
After saying this, he let out a long breath, as if he had let out all the emotions he had accumulated for a long time.
It's just the same thing, Zhang Zhiyuan also knew it in his heart at this time.
After I said these words today, I could no longer control myself from now on.
He has already reached the ranks of Prince Huaiyou.
Zhu Yunxi remained calm.
When the old man told him that day that Mrs. Lu was going to invite a troupe from outside to perform in the palace to congratulate her, he knew that Mrs. Lu had no good intentions in this move.
Lu must take this opportunity to do something.
It's just that he doesn't know what Lu wants to do.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhang Zhiyuan: "What's the problem?"
Having said this, Zhang Zhiyuan no longer held back and whispered: "In this troupe, there is an extra man in Qingyi who is disguised as a woman."
Tsing Yi is one of the characters on the stage.
Qingyi, also known as Zhengdan, is the role of Dan in Shengdan, Jingmochou, and is a gentle and graceful female role on the stage. Many times, it is played by men with male-female looks and delicate faces.
In private, it is mostly a romantic affair, and interpersonal relationships are full of third-rate things.
It's just that it's hard to find Zhengdan, especially those in Tsing Yi who can win applause and applause from the audience on and off the stage.
And this troupe actually has an extra Qingyi Zhengdan.
Zhu Yunxi murmured silently, and under Zhang Zhiyuan's gaze, he said in a deep voice: "Take me there, and take a few quiet glances first."
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded, turned around and looked around, and then felt relieved when he saw no one around.
He is still the personal guard of Guangling County Prince.
It’s not good to get too close to the Prince of Huaiyou.
At the moment, Zhang Zhiyuan led Zhu Yunxi to secluded places, and the distance between the two was very close.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the front, and the drama became louder again.
Zhang Zhiyuan also distanced himself and walked in front, pretending that nothing happened, and stopped at a corner.
