Chapter 17 Leaving the Palace
The next day, Lu An and Xuan Ying packed up early and came to the entrance of Mingguang Hall. Lu An appeared in front of Pei Yan yawning and with dark circles under his eyes because he was too excited last night.
Pei Yan was also surprised when he saw Lu An. How could he look so haggard after just one night? Should we ask the imperial physician to come and check on him?
Lu An had just finished yawning and hadn't closed his mouth when he saw Pei Yan walking towards him.
Pei Yan changed into a moon-white satin gown today. The fabric was soft and light, with silver thread embroidered on the cuffs and lapels, and cloud dragon patterns could be vaguely seen, making him look both noble and low-key. He wore a dark blue double-breasted jacket with the edge of the jacket outlined with silver thread to create flowing cloud patterns. A light grey silk belt was casually tied around his waist, with a small mutton-fat jade pendant at the end of the belt, which was as smooth as jade and exuded a sense of elegance.
His hair is tied up high, showing a bit of youthfulness, and a few strands of hair on his forehead are fluttering in the wind, making him look casual and free and easy. He was wearing a pair of soft-soled deerskin boots, and his steps were light and almost silent.
【OMG! 】
[So beautiful, how come Pei Yan is so good-looking?]
Pei Yan looked at Lu An, who looked like he hadn't woken up yet and was still obsessed with him, so he felt relieved and followed Pei Yan and said, "Let's go."
Lu An finally came back to his senses.
[I am so useless, I despise myself]
[I have seen all kinds of men, tall, short, fat and thin, and she is actually crazy about Pei Yan]
[But Pei Yan is also really good-looking]
Lu An and Xuan Ying followed behind Pei Yan, who couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth in front.
When Lu An arrived at the palace gate, he found that there was only one carriage and two horses.
The two guards following Pei Yan were riding horses beside the carriage, and Eunuch De was sitting in front of the carriage driving it. So he was driving the carriage with Eunuch De, and Xuanying and Pei Yan were sitting in the carriage.
[Okay, now let me see how to drive a horse-drawn carriage in ancient times]
[I have never driven a horse in my life]
Lu An rolled up his sleeves and sat down excitedly next to Eunuch De.
Eunuch De cried out, "Why are you sitting here? Go in and take care of the emperor."
Lu An pointed at himself with his eyes wide open and said, "Shall I go in and take care of the emperor?"
Eunuch De: "If not you, then who else? Can you drive a carriage?"
[Okay, I really can’t]
[It turns out Pei Yan brought him out just to find someone to serve him]
[I thought he brought me here to relax because of my hard work and contributions]
Pei Yan listened to Lu An's inner voice and thought: Are you the only one who has worked hard and made great contributions? You are the only one who enjoys the whole palace. But Lu An didn't know this.
When Lu An entered the carriage, he saw that the outside of the carriage was plain, but the inside was full of wonders.
In fact, the outside of the carriage was also made of top-grade rosewood, but Lu An didn't know it.
Lu An lifted the curtain and took a look. The walls of the carriage were wrapped in soft silk embroidered with delicate cloud patterns and auspicious animal designs. A small glass lamp was hung on the roof, and a faint ambergris was burning in the lamp. The faint fragrance filled the entire carriage, making people feel peaceful.
A thick velvet carpet was laid in the middle of the carriage. It was embroidered with intricate dragon and phoenix patterns in gold thread, and Xuanying was lying on it.
On the carpet was a small rosewood table, the sides of which were as smooth as a mirror, and the edges were carved with exquisite twined flower patterns. There was a set of celadon tea set on the table, and Pei Yan was sitting there drinking tea.
[Pei Yan is quite good at pretending, he even came out to drink tea]
[How come Pei Yan is so rich and knows how to enjoy life so well? I also want to be the emperor]
After Lu An came in, he sat next to Pei Yan. There were soft couches on both sides of the carriage. The couches were covered with brocade cushions filled with fine goose down, making them soft and comfortable to sit on.
[So soft, this cushion is so comfortable to sit on]
Lu An looked at the car window again. The window was covered with gauze curtains embroidered with fine bamboo leaf patterns, which blocked out light without looking dull. Through the gauze curtain, the street scene outside is vaguely visible, like a flowing painting. The bottom of the car is covered with a thick layer of felt, so you can hardly feel the bumps when driving.
[Mom, I've seen the world]
Pei Yan saw Lu An sitting next to him without saying anything and handed him a cushion. Lu An took it and realized.
[Am I serving on my knees?]
[I don’t think I can sit down, but Pei Yan didn’t say anything, so does that mean you don’t mind? 】
Lu An secretly glanced at Pei Yan and found that Pei Yan did not look unhappy, so he felt relieved.
[Pei Yan is indeed a good emperor]
So Lu An sat there with peace of mind.
He looked around the car, but not at Pei Yan, or he lowered his head and scratched his hands.
Pei Yan had been flipping through the book in his hand, and soon he saw Lu An nodding his head, almost falling asleep.
Xuanying was about to go over and rub against Lu An, but was stopped by Pei Yan with a look. Then Xuanying saw his master and moved his fragrant head towards his shoulder, and Lu An leaned on Pei Yan's shoulder.
Xuanying’s eyes widened. Was his master going to snatch the fragrance from him?
While Lu An was half asleep, he seemed to have found a very comfortable pillow and couldn't help rubbing it.
Pei Yan saw Lu An rubbing his neck, his breath hitting his face, and for some reason he felt a burst of heat.
Pei Yan thought, isn't this little eunuch really trying to seduce me?
