After being reborn, being alone as a queen

Su Jinglan's eyes were red: "I watched with my own eyes the constant entry of people into the harem over the years, not only women, but also men. I watched her become what she is now step by step."

Xie Jin just remembered at this time.

He had indeed met Su Jinglan in another place back then.

That year, Su Jinglan was among the top picks, entered the palace with her face, and stayed by Qu Huashang's side for decades.

However, Xie Jin remained calm, took a sip from the teacup, and said sincerely: "It's really a touching story, so, is Empress Lan Fei doing this to repay her kindness?"

Su Jinglan hesitated for a moment, forced back the tears in her eyes, and shook her head: "No."

Xie Jin raised his eyebrows in doubt: "Oh?"

"Because I love her."

puff--

Xie Jin, who was forced to open the door to the new world, spurted out a mouthful of tea, then turned his head and stared at the calm Su Jinglan in disbelief.

"Cough cough cough" He coughed for a long time, raised his hand to wipe the water stains on his lips, and remained silent for a long time before forcing himself to digest this fact

two men...

he might probably be okay with it

Because those so-called imperial relatives and nobles do not know how many male favorites who serve others with masculinity in captivity in the mansion.

But two women...

Xie Jin felt that he needed to calm down very much now. After a while, he covered his forehead in pain: "Lan, Concubine Lan, you go back to the palace first, I promise you will do my best...but let me think about it. .”

Su Jinglan frowned, but she still understood his reaction very well, only a hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

She also knew that this feeling was different from ordinary people, but she didn't know where it started and went deep, and she couldn't escape it long ago.

She reluctantly held the corner of her mouth, her smile was still light and elegant, and said with a flick of a bow: "Then I will leave first, thank you little duke for your willingness to help. If you have the heart to use it, you will know what it is."

Xie Jin slowly put down his hand, looking at her back that became thinner and boneless against the light, a string in his heart seemed to be still trembling.

He couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt at that moment.

Three days later, Qu Huashang was released, and Mu Xiu personally issued an edict.

'Following the heavens, the emperor said

Concubine Hui, Qu's Huachang, was bewitched by an adulterer, and the following offended her superiors.

Although at the moment of danger, I suddenly realized that reining in from the precipice did not cause a catastrophe, but the merit was not worth it

From now on, he will be in the cold palace, and he will not be allowed to step out for life without an edict. '

While eating breakfast, Xie Jin listened to Koizumi repeating the contents of the imperial decree, thoughtful.

Seeing him distracted while eating, Koizumi couldn't help asking: "Is this golden bird's nest porridge not to the lil Houye's liking?"

Xie Jin waved his hands, swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said:

"No."

He was just thinking about his conversation with Mu Xiu last night.

As night fell, the sky was full of stars inlaid in the night sky, and a crescent moon illuminated most of the palace, as if it were daytime.

"Eunuch Zhao."

Zhao Chengde stood in front of the Chaoyang Hall, holding a whisk in his arms, the door behind him was closed tightly, revealing the light of the candle

Seeing Xie Jin, he bowed slightly and smiled kindly: "This old servant has seen Young Master."

Xie Jin looked inside and asked, "Is His Majesty inside?"

Zhao Chengde said: "If you go back to the young master, I will be here."

Xie Jin said: "Can you inform me? Cao Min has something important to discuss with His Majesty."

"Then trouble the young master to wait here for a while, and let the old slave go in and make an announcement."

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhao."

Zhao Chengde shook his head, turned around and knocked on the door. After Mu Xiu's voice came from inside, he pushed the door and walked in, and the door closed.

Through the crack of the door, Xie Jin could only see Mu Xiu with loose black hair, sitting behind the dragon table, holding a book in his hand and looking at it with raised eyebrows.

After a while, Zhao Chengde opened the door from the inside, stepped back and said, "Young Lord, Your Majesty has an invitation, please come in."

Xie Jin stepped into the bedroom, thinking about how to speak.

Zhao Chengde stepped back and closed the door behind him.

Xie Jin didn't say a word until Mu Xiu had turned several pages of the book in his hand

Mu Xiu's hand holding the book lightly rested on the dragon case, and he raised his eyes helplessly: "It's so late, what's the matter with me?"

Xie Jin hesitated for a moment, took two steps forward, and began to polish Moxiu's ink. While grinding, he said, "Caomin has a bedtime story that I want to tell His Majesty..."

As soon as he said it, he regretted it

According to His Highness's current temper...

In the next second, Mu Xiu frowned and said, "How old do you think I am? What bedtime stories do you need to hear?"

Xie Jin pursed his lips, and said with some regret: "Since that's the case, the grass-roots disturbed His Majesty's pleasure, so I'll go back."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out, thinking in his heart that this method really won't work, and it seems that he must find another method.

Mu Xiu felt a little restless in his heart, his eyes fell on the page as long as that person appeared, and he couldn't read a single word.

As soon as he opened the door, Koizumi greeted him: "Young master is auspicious."

Xie Jin looked at him suspiciously: "Aren't you in the side hall? Why are you here?"

Koizumi said: "Going back to the young master, in the afternoon you asked the slave to go to the imperial hospital to look for the imperial doctor Chen. It happened that he was busy with the examination of the imperial hospital recently, so he rushed over when he was free. Now he is waiting in the hall. The slave came to know I will."

"I see." Xie Jin turned around, and just as he was about to close the door with his hand, Mu Xiu raised his eyes and looked directly at him with a pair of dark eyes: "Stop."

Xie Jin froze: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Mu Xiu was silent for a moment, and finally said after a long while: "Aren't you going to tell me a bedtime story? Why are you running away? Are you trying to lie to me?"

Because the distance between him and Xie Jin was a bit far at this time, his voice was quite loud when he said this.

Koizumi at the door: "?!"

Zhao Chengde: "..."

Originally, he was still thinking about what important matter the young duke wanted to discuss with His Majesty at such a late hour, but he never expected...

How dare I lie to you!I also want to tell you a bedtime story, but the problem is that you don't listen!

Xie Jin was even more baffled by Monk Zhang Er. He didn't understand what went wrong for a while, and he sighed in his heart, this is no longer the level of a needle in the sea of ​​the emperor's heart, it is the gold in the sea of ​​the emperor's heart!

He sent Koizumi to find Chen Xi in the afternoon. He wanted to see that the palace was approaching, and tried to see if he could find out something related to His Majesty's illness, but he didn't expect Koizumi to miss it. At this moment, Chen Xi came to the door. He came, but right now he was caught in a dilemma by mistake.

After thinking for a while, he turned his head and told Koizumi, "You go back to the palace first, and let Doctor Chen wait for me for a while."

Koizumi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I obey."

After finishing speaking, he left.

Xie Jin returned to the palace, Mu Xiu's face was a bit ugly, and his tone was slightly sullen: "I don't have much time for you, let's talk about it now."

Xie Jin didn't know where he had offended him at all, so he could only attribute his ugly face to his slow movements, and said baba, embellishing the story Lan Fei told him again.

Only half of the red candle left in the corner slowly burned out with the whispers in the hall, and the wax tears flowed down the candlestick and gradually dried up.

After listening to his bedtime story, Mu Xiu's expression became even uglier, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Xie Jin was worried

"Is this the bedtime story you told me?"

Xie Jin tentatively asked: "How about...Caomin tell me another one?"

Mu Xiu closed the pages of the book in his hand, smoothed the cover with his thumb carefully, and then slowly looked at him: "The women in the story are Concubine Hui and Concubine Lan, right? Concubine Lan asked you to intercede? I can see some clues to some extent, but I never thought it was because of this."

Xie Jin shook his head: "That's not the case. Concubine Lan just talked about some of the past with the grass people. It was the grass people who felt compassion and dared to use another way to make a little of their feelings of daring to risk the world's shame. force."

Mu Xiu got up and approached him, reached out and pinched his chin: "Stupid, this kind of emotion that is not accepted by the world, even if I want to make it happen, do you think Qu Jing will allow this kind of thing to happen?"

His palms were warm, and his strength was not too great. Xie Jin looked straight into his eyes: "This grassroots man can't be controlled, and His Majesty doesn't need to be concerned. It is up to man to do things, and God to make things happen."

Mu Xiu was slightly taken aback, looking at his eyes with a cold smile: "It's up to man to do what he does! I can give you this face, but here is a small matter that needs you to do, I wonder if the young master is willing? "

Xie Jin naturally has no reluctance, anyway, reluctance is useless

Then...

Zhao Chengde put a stack of thick books by Xie Jin's elbow, and said with a smile: "Young Lord, here is everything, copy it quickly, and you can go back to the side hall after copying."

"..."

Xie Jin was holding a pen, in front of him was a stack of three-finger-thick rice paper and a few books whose weight and thickness seemed hopeless

It belongs to the kind that feels tired even after reading a page.

Mu Xiu has already taken people to Siyin Pavilion to take a shower and get ready for bed

His exact words were——

"A few days ago, the young master's poems have always been fresh in my memory. It seems that the young master is also a person who loves to play with elegance. It just so happens that the first library in Beijing is about to be completed. How about the young master who will help me to see the sun?" Select some of the out-of-print books in the palace, and copy them down with a pen, and I will send someone to the library for the literati to review, remembering that the font must be correct."

Xie Jin almost crushed the pen in his hand, was this intentional at all? !

Why go back to the hall after copying these overnight, even the rebirth is useless, so I went back to the underworld to report!

After Zhao Chengde finished speaking, he gave him an inexplicable look and left.

Chen Xi waited in the side hall for nearly half an hour. After drinking a round of tea, no one came back.

Koizumi scratched his head: "Physician Chen, please be patient and don't be impatient. This servant is going to inquire now. Maybe it was delayed by something."

Chen Xi nodded with a smile: "It's time to work."

Koizumi hurriedly went to inquire, and soon returned to the side hall. He was very sorry and said: "Mr. Chen...my young master, he didn't know what mistake he made. He was punished by His Majesty to copy books in the main hall. I can't come back, it's getting late now, why don't you..."

Chen Xi glanced at the direction of the main hall, and said: "I understand now, then send someone to look for me at the Imperial Hospital when the young master has time, and I will take my leave now."

Even though he was released as a pigeon for nearly an hour, he did not show any signs of impatience, his smile was still elegant and personable

Koizumi hurriedly said respectfully, "Physician Chen, go slowly."

After Chen Xi left

Koizumi looked at the door, clicked his tongue twice, and elbowed the eunuch guarding the door

The eunuch looked at Koizumi: "What are you doing?"

Koizumi glanced at him, pouted angrily and said, "Look, look! This is the demeanor of a chief imperial physician!"

After he finished speaking, he glanced up and down at the eunuch guarding the gate. The eunuch was puzzled by him, and he held his chest and said, "What do you want to do to me!"

Koizumi curled his lips: "Look at you again, no wonder you are a gatekeeper for ten thousand years!"

The eunuch looked blank for a moment, then became angry, and slapped Koizumi's arm: "You are also an eunuch! What are you talking about!"

Koizumi stared at him: "How dare you hit me?"

The eunuch also raised his chin and looked at him provocatively: "What's wrong with hitting you? I hit you again!"

As he spoke, he pouted his butt and hit Koizumi with his hip

Koizumi staggered a step, and raised his hips unwillingly: "Hit me? You're the only one with hips, right?"

The two collided at the door of the side hall like little furry kids fighting

hit me, hit you

The master is not around, so let yourself go completely.
