Ten days later, the small ancestral temple in the Xiaoyao Palace opened its doors. Jiang Luoyu, dressed in plain clothes, with a melancholy and anxious Jiang Luobai, and Jiang Luoqin, who was curious but couldn't suppress her joy, walked step by step. In addition to Jiang's ancestral house, the ancestral hall of the lineage moved to the frontier by Xiaoyao Wang Jiangying.

Sacrifice three animals, offer incense, kneel three times and kowtow nine times, ask for genealogy.

"From today onwards, the genealogy has become clear, you are my direct younger brother, the direct son of my father, and one day you will be able to take over the Xiaoyao throne from me."

After the sacrifice, Jiang Luoyu stood under the lush ancient locust tree behind the ancestral hall, brushed his fingers over the rough bark, his smile was so pale that he could hardly see clearly, but his eyes shone brightly.Jiang Luobai was already a serious son-in-law at this time, standing behind him, but for some reason he was more nervous than usual, his face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly argued.

"Brother, Luo Bai never thought of inheriting the Xiaoyao throne... In Luo Bai's heart, the elder brother has made so many sacrifices in order to keep the throne. No one can inherit this throne except the elder brother."

The figure under the locust tree moved, and there seemed to be a sigh in the black jade-like eyes: "Luo Bai..."

This time, before he could say anything else, Jiang Luobai seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, clenched his thin fists, and stepped forward with a firm expression, his sleeves embroidered with golden thread dragon patterns fluttered : "Brother... There are some things that I actually wanted to say two years ago, but we were different at that time, and there are some things that I, a bastard, should not say—"

"Brother knows what you're going to say." Hearing him pluck up the courage to say what was in his heart, Jiang Luoyu couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly, and he definitely looked at the young man in formal clothes, but already had a bit of character Brother, took a long breath, "You are in the heart of elder brother, you will always be a good boy——no matter what time you are."

After all, his black eyelashes drooped, but his gaze suddenly turned to the junction of Dataki and Dajin. His gaze was far away and vaguely longing, as if he was watching a gradually disappearing figure through thousands of miles of mountains and rivers: " One day, I will leave here."

Jiang Luobai followed his gaze, held his breath subconsciously, and forgot to refute what he said just now, but it was the first time he saw his brother showing such a special expression, so he couldn't help but look a few more times before whispering. Ask: "Why?"

But this time, the person standing beside him never answered him again.

The two brothers talked in a low voice under the locust tree. About an hour later, Jiang Luobai lowered his head and bowed to his elder brother. When he turned and walked towards the bluestone road outside, he saw a pale pink figure out of the corner of his eye. Standing on the spot, looking at Jiang Luoqin who was huddled in the corridor, she frowned slightly.

Knowing that she had been discovered, the girl stopped hiding. She changed into new clothes for the sacrifice. Because of her calm expression, her face was somewhat similar to that of Jiang Luoyu who was standing in the distance, regardless of Jiang Luobai's dazed eyes , raised his head and took two steps forward, staring straight at Jiang Luoyu, and said timidly.

"Big... big brother, I... I want to talk to you."

Under the old locust tree, the brother and sister finally talked calmly for the first time, with Jiang Luobai who was a little at a loss in the middle, and the atmosphere was quite peaceful.

The Otaki Imperial Palace, which is thousands of miles away, was built in just one month. In the magnificent Rouqing Palace, a pair of twins dressed in golden phoenix embroidered robes and pale gold rose red peony underwear are hanging their heads and picking up the teacup in hand. While letting the maid behind him knead his body and slender waist, he heard voices of greetings from outside the palace, and he was immediately shocked and got off the bed.

"The Emperor is here!"

"Aifei, Aifei?"

Regardless of the palace servants and maids who were already kneeling on the ground behind him, Emperor Otaki strode into the palace, glanced around, and without concealing his joy, looked at the half-kneeling ground, only showing a small half of his face. Gu Qing, with a charming face and a slender figure, immediately broke into a smile.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is here." Before Gu Qing got up, she felt her arms lighten. She raised her eyes and saw that it was the emperor who had just left the court in the morning. Smiling again and again, she nestled in the emperor's arms submissively, raised her hand and told the maid beside her, "Hurry up, Your Majesty is coming, why don't you give your Majesty the blood swallow that I just asked the imperial chef to stew!"

The court lady didn't dare to look up at the empress dowager's birthday banquet. Gu Qing, the concubine Qing who was appointed a month ago because she had blocked an assassination for the emperor, just responded honestly: "Yes, ma'am."

When the palace maid brought the bird's nest, Gu Qingtian brought it over with a smile, and then watched the emperor wave his hand to let the others back down in satisfaction, leaving only himself at the side, and took his hand again, his eyebrows furrowed. The corners of her lips are wrinkled due to old age and long-term work, but her tone is very gentle, and her eyes are gentle: "Aifei is recent, how is her body?"

Gu Qing smiled sweetly. He was slashed in place of the emperor last time. After all, the medicine used for the young body was the secret medicine of the inner body, and he had already had enough of it in a month. Hearing this, he immediately raised his hand and held the emperor's hand instead: "Your Majesty, please bear in mind that the humble body of a concubine is not worth mentioning. Your Majesty's body is more important."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the emperor to say anything, he lifted the lid of the bowl of blood swallow, picked up a spoon to stir it, raised his white wrist, and fed it to the emperor's mouth: "Your Majesty, quickly taste this blood swallow , I heard that it was delivered overnight from the South China Sea, the concubine ate it by accident in the morning, but thought it was delicious, knowing that His Majesty's appetite has been poor recently, that's why I dared to ask the Imperial Dining Room to make an extra cup."

Hearing this, the emperor noticed that Gu Qing's words seemed to have hidden meaning, and thought that Gu Qing's concubine position had only been sealed for a month, and the imperial dining room might not be very clear about the temperament of the new master, so he didn't dare to send him off easily. Something came over, probably afraid of something happening, he opened his mouth to drink the bird's nest while thinking about it, then put on a more gentle smile, patted the back of his hand and instructed.

"My concubine doesn't have to be restrained in the palace, you are my concubine, you can order the imperial dining room to make soup at will, what's the point of eating a cup of bird's nest.

"

When Gu Qing heard this, she immediately felt relieved, but the darkness in her eyes deepened. She raised her wrist again to feed the emperor's bird's nest. After the emperor swallowed the warm and fragrant soup, before he raised his wrist again, Suddenly, he spoke.

"Aifei, something happened early today, I want to ask Aifei what she means."

When Gu Qing heard that there was something to do, Gu Qing's heart tightened, her fingers trembled and she almost threw down the porcelain spoon in her hand, at least she managed to hold it firmly: "Emperor

What's the matter, even if you tell your concubines, why ask questions? "

After the emperor said that, he kept pondering. He didn't notice any difference in Gu Qing at this time. Instead, he remembered the shy look of Guanglu Siqing that he accidentally saw in the early court, and couldn't help frowning. : "Today in the court hall, I saw my concubine's father. I think that my concubine is now a concubine. If her father's position is too low, the face of my concubine..."

Before the words fell, Gu Qing's face changed drastically. Before the emperor could say everything clearly, she knelt down on the ground, her charming face was pale and panicked. The emperor was startled by his actions, and immediately forgot After the next words, he quickly raised his hand to help: "What is Aifei doing, get up quickly!"

"If the emperor really loves me, please listen to my words." Gu Qing pursed her lips, her expression was serious and her eyes were hot, and she no longer called herself a concubine, but a minister, obviously very serious. Only by pampering her can she become a concubine, but please forgive me for being unfilial,

Although the subject's father is kind to the subject, but the subject knows that his father is violent and difficult to tolerate, he is not suitable for a high position, if the subject's father is wrong, the emperor may have to forgive the concubine's father because of the concubine..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but took a deep breath, kowtowed his head hard, and made a deep muffled sound, which showed that he was determined: "I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and foreign relatives are not allowed to disturb the court. I also ask the emperor to be sympathetic to my ministers." Take back the decree of kindness, otherwise, my heart will not be at ease, Your Majesty!"

The emperor didn't seem to have expected that he would attract such fierce opposition from the person next to his pillow with just a few words about rewarding Gu Qing's father. He squinted his eyes and looked at the slender red figure with his bowed body for a long time. He didn't know what was going on in his heart. , but a deeper smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he lowered his body and grabbed Gu Qing's arm: "My concubine, please get up."

Gu Qing was afraid that he would not agree, so she looked up nervously, then lowered her head apprehensively: "Your Majesty..."

"What Concubine Ai said is true. I was impatient and never told Concubine Ai in advance." Seeing him not daring to get up, with a frightened look on his face, the smile in the emperor's eyes deepened, and he was forced to sit on his knees. On, after looking at that delicate face for a while, his fingers sneaked into the hem of the long gown, and said in a low voice with a smile.

"I came up with a way to get the best of both worlds. How about this? Ai Fei's low status as a father is not good for Ai Fei. Don't worry, Ai Fei. I will make your father a Marquis, but take away his authority in the court. This will not only prevent Aifei's father from disturbing the government, but also give Aifei an explanation."

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to my concubine." Upon hearing that she had no real power, Gu Qing lowered her head slightly, a smile appeared on her thin red lips, and the cold light in her eyes suddenly lit up, but he concealed it with her excellent eyelids , noticing that the emperor's hand was getting more and more unbridled, she couldn't help moaning softly, leaning towards him, her voice was as soft as water, "I can't repay my concubine, only..."

"Only what?"

"The concubine can only... promise with her body..."
