Xiao Jumao was about to go to court, but last night he hung up with Tan Shi for a long time, and fell asleep in the early morning. His body was so sore that he couldn't get up.

So today's early court was canceled due to the emperor's poor health.Although Tan Shiguan can act as an agent of the government, he still feels that he should stay by His Majesty's side and put the government affairs aside.

Xiao Jumao fell asleep until it was almost lunch time, and when he woke up, his head was still a little groggy, and he kept spurning himself in his heart, saying that the foolish king is obsessed with beauty and does not go to court early, but now he is really a foolish king.

"Are you awake?" Tan Shiguan put the book in his hand, sat on the edge of the bed, leaned over and kissed Xiao Jumao's forehead, and smiled softly, "Do you want to get up?"

Xiao Jumao looked at his handsome features, and only said a few words of sorry to his ancestors in his heart, and then he put the little bit of guilt behind him. He moved his body under the quilt, opened his eyes With sleepy eyes, he said softly, "I don't think about it."

"Then sleep a little longer." Tan Shiguan covered him tightly with the quilt.

Xiao Jumao closed his eyes again, and a smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth. He remembered that when Tan Shiguan was still the regent, he would never let him sleep in. Now it is really different, haha.

At this time, Zhao Quan came in and reported that someone in Dingguo's mansion had spread the word outside the palace, hoping that Dingguo could go back to the mansion.

Tan Shiguan knew that if nothing happened in the mansion, he would definitely not send someone to the palace to spread the word, he was about to get up when he saw Xiao Jumao sitting up and said: "I want to wash up."

"it is good."

Zhao Quan was going to serve, but Tan Shiguan beat him, so he had to leave the hall depressedly, and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some light meals.

After Tan Shiguan finished grooming Xiao Jumao, Xiao Jumao said: "I'm going out of the palace with you, I'm going to get moldy after being bored in the palace for so many days."

Tan Shiguan is naturally what Xiao Jumao says.

After eating, Xiao Jumao refreshed himself, left the palace with Tan Shiguan, and returned to Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Liu Fu and Liu Wei greeted him in front of the mansion. When they saw Tan Shiguan getting off the carriage, they were about to enter the mansion with a salute. Then they saw their master turn around and help another person from the carriage. He was noble, handsome and majestic , who else could it be if not the emperor?

They were about to kneel down in a hurry to salute, Xiao Jumao said "Excuse me" and was supported by Tan Shiguan to enter the mansion.It's not that he's putting on airs, it's really because his legs are weak and weak, if no one supports him, he may fall while walking.

"Second Young Master, Eldest Young Master and Eldest Young Mistress came from Jiangnan." Although Liu Fu didn't dare to be too casual in front of Xiao Jumao, the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and brows were full of joy.

Xiao Jumao paused, looked at Tan Shiguan, and was about to speak when he heard a hearty laugh.Tan Lie strode towards them, he was very happy to see Tan Shiguan, when his eyes fell on Xiao Jumao's face, he hesitated for a moment, and the smile on his face faded a bit.

Jin Lan followed her side, her face was gentle and gentle, she came to Tan Shiguan and Xiao Jumao, she first smiled at Tan Shiguan, then looked at Xiao Jumao, seeing his extraordinary demeanor and outstanding temperament, her eyes became softer .

It is naturally impossible for Xiao Jumao to wear a dragon robe when he goes out of the palace. He only changed into ordinary clothes. Tan Lie and Jin Lan couldn't guess his identity for a while, but they can be seen from his luxurious clothes and demeanor. Your son.

Tan Lie took a look at Xiao Jumao with sharp eyes, and he couldn't find a single fault in his whole body, the only fault was that he felt that his footsteps were flimsy and his internal strength was insufficient, but once this small flaw was matched with Tan Shiguan, it would be wonderful. In Tan Lie's opinion, at least his younger brother will not be subjected to domestic violence in the future.

"Who is this?" Tan Lie asked Tan Shiguan.

Tan Shiguan still supported Xiao Jumao's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, let's go into the room and talk."

When the four of them came to the lobby, Tan Lie was going to take the seat, but Tan Shiguan stopped him, "Brother, this is the emperor."

Tan Lie's butt, which was about to sit down, immediately lifted up spontaneously. He straightened his body, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at Xiao Jumao. Even Jin Lan, who had always been calm, was a little dazed.

Although they are from the Jianghu, they have read the books of sages and sages since they were young, and the principles of monarch and minister have long been implanted in their bones. What's more, they are just grass and grass in front of Xiao Jumao, they can only be regarded as grassroots people.

Xiao Jumao smiled slightly, "Master Tan, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times." For the sake of Tan Shiguan's elder brother, you can give him some respect, but who told him to be a "little emperor" when he was in the south of the Yangtze River? Yes, hum, I'm going to scare him.

"Today, on a whim, I wanted to visit Duke Ding's mansion. Unexpectedly, I met Duke Ding to reunite with his family. It seems that I came at the wrong time."

Tan Lie: "..." Ganqing's younger brother was not supporting the little lover, but the emperor.

Jin Lan came back to her senses, tugged on Tan Lie's sleeves, and was about to kneel down to salute, Xiao Jumao immediately reached out to help, "Madam Tan, don't need to be too polite."

Jin Lan had a delicate mind and felt Xiao Jumao's kindness towards her, so she smiled softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When Liu Fu came to serve tea, he noticed the strange atmosphere in the hall, so he immediately exited the door and ordered him not to be disturbed.

Tan Lie didn't hear Xiao Jumao's "excuse me" until his knees were about to touch the ground, and thought, why does the emperor treat him and his wife so differently?

Tan Shiguan asked Xiao Jumao to sit on the main seat, Tan Lie and Jin Lan also sat down one after another, Tan Shiguan stood next to Xiao Jumao, saw that there was no cushion on the chair, so he called Liu Fu and asked him to sit down. Pick.

He himself doesn't care about these things, most of the servants in the mansion are martial arts practitioners, and they don't think about such things, but now it's Xiao Jumao sitting, so naturally it's different.Firstly, the weather was cold, and the chill on the chair easily invaded the body; secondly, last night, the fighting was fierce, and he was worried that Xiao Jumao would not sit comfortably.

Liu Fu fetched four cushions, Tan Shiguan brought two cushions under Xiao Jumao's buttocks, Xiao Jumao sat on them again, immediately felt much more comfortable, and praised Tan Shiguan with his eyes.

Tan Lie also took two of them and put them on Jin Lan's mat. The two brothers were doing this at the same time, as expected of a family bound by blood.

"Brother and sister-in-law, why didn't you write me a letter in advance?" Tan Shiguan asked.

Tan Lie glanced at Xiao Jumao, and said: "Shi Guan, we'll talk about our affairs tonight, do you have something to discuss with the emperor?"

Xiao Jumao took a sip of the tea, looked bright, and said with a light smile: "No problem, I just came to Ding Guogong's mansion to sit, but the owner of the village said it's no problem." In fact, he was also very curious.

Tan Lie nodded his head when he saw Tan Shi, so he had no choice but to reply: "Didn't you write a letter to Jiangnan to tell us that Doctor Zhou had prepared the medicine, and your sister-in-law and I were worried that something might happen to the medicine on the way, so we rushed to the capital in a hurry. Furthermore, I have never visited you since you have been away from home for so many years, so I just took this opportunity to come and have a look at your Dingguo Mansion."

In fact, it would be a lie to say that Tan Lie is not proud. His younger brother ran away from home to join the army, and earned his current status from nothing. It is estimated that the ancestors of the Tan family will wake up laughing under the nine springs.Who doesn't know that Duke Ding is the emperor's most trusted person now?That is the real one under one person and above ten thousand people.

"Alright, then let's go find Zhou Shuo now." Tan Shi looked at Xiao Jumao, who stood up, "I will go there too."

The four of them walked all the way to Zhou Shuo's courtyard, Tan Shiguan helped Xiao Jumao to walk in front, Tan Lie and Jin Lan walked behind, Tan Lie always felt a little strange in his heart when he saw how his younger brother cared about the emperor in every possible way.

Although he has never seen how the emperor and his subjects get along, but in his inherent concept, the ruler is the ruler, and the minister is the minister. How can the emperor and the minister be so close?He could see that the younger brother's concern for the emperor was not because of the awe the courtiers had for the emperor, but an extremely natural care.

He frowned tightly and kept looking at the two people in front of him.Seeing him like this, Jin Lan couldn't help laughing silently, reached out to pat his hand, and shook her head.

Only then did Tan Lie relax his expression, and followed Tan Shiguan into Zhou Shuo's yard.

In the yard, Zhou Shuo was studying a grass, and Xiao Fan was practicing sword in the corner, his forehead was dripping with sweat.

When they saw Xiao Jumao, they both went forward to salute, Xiao Jumao asked them to get up, took Xiao Fan's hand and was about to sit on the stone bench, but Tan Shiguan stopped them, and saw him enter Zhou Shuo I picked up two cushions and placed them on the stone bench.

Tan Lie felt quite uncomfortable, although his brother was not wrong to take care of the emperor, but his brother had never taken care of him like this.

Tan Shiguan didn't want to disturb Xiao Jumao and Xiao Fan, so he came to Zhou Shuo and said, "Didn't you say that the medicine has been prepared? Now that my elder brother and sister-in-law are here, why don't you hurry up and get it?" .”

Only then did Zhou Shuo remember this, and hastily entered the house, took out a small porcelain bottle from the medicine cabinet, and handed it to Jin Lan, "There are thirty pills in it, one a day, and it will be cured after one month."

Tan Lie and Jin Lan took it with trembling hands when they heard the words, and thanked repeatedly: "Thank you, Doctor Zhou!"

Xiao Jumao thought to himself, Zi Ningzhi is the one I had the cheek to ask for from the Queen Mother.

As soon as he thought about it, he listened to Tan Shi and said: "Zi Ningzhi is a reward from the emperor."

Tan Lie and Jin Lan thanked Xiao Jumao again, Xiao Jumao pretended to be reserved, and said: "Mr. Dingguo has made great contributions to our Xiao Kingdom. I asked him what reward he wanted, and he only said Zi Ningzhi. I I thought it was strange at the time, but now I know that Duke Ding is for his family."

Tan Lie and Jin Lan looked at Tan Shiguan movedly when they heard the words, Tan Lie reached out and patted Tan Shiguan's shoulder, saying nothing.

They were talking about Zi Ningzhi, while Xiao Jumao asked Xiao Fan: "How is your martial arts learning recently? How is your reading?"

Xiao Fan returned obediently, looking at Xiao Jumao's eyes full of admiration, the emperor's uncle is his only relative, and he is so gentle to him, he likes staying with the emperor's uncle very much.

Xiao Jumao thought that Xiao Fan had not been out of the palace for a long time, and having learned books and martial arts to such an extent, he did not lose face to the Xiao family.

"Xiao Fan is really amazing."

Xiao Fan shook his head upon hearing this, "Uncle Emperor, I think I'm useless."

"Why?"

Xiao Fan lowered his head, "Uncle Huang, Brother Hongye said that he joined the army to avenge his family. I wanted to help him, but I couldn't help him at all."

Xiao Jumao smiled, "Xiao Fan is actually very powerful. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have found out that he was kidnapped by the bad guys that night. Because of you, he escaped."

Xiao Fan's eyes lit up. Hearing Uncle Huang's words, he felt that he was a bit useless again.

The conversation between the two naturally fell into the ears of Tan Lie and Jin Lan. Tan Lie couldn't interrupt Xiao Jumao and the others, so he had to pull Tan Shiguan aside and asked, "They mentioned Hongye just now?"

Tan Shiguan nodded, "I didn't tell you in the letter before that Hongye was abducted to the capital, but luckily we found him and rescued him."

"What about him now?"

"I went to the border with Dong Xiaoquan."

Tan Lie sighed, "I'm relieved, the Zhu family was wiped out that day, we didn't see the child Hongye in the body, but we were still worried that something bad happened to the child, Changxuan was always regretful, saying that he It would be great if Hongye was allowed to stay in the villa and sleep with him. Now that Hongye is still alive, he doesn't have to blame himself every day."

Tan Shiguan gave a "hmm" and looked towards Xiao Jumao.

"What does Xiaofan want to do in the future?" Xiao Jumao asked slowly, touching the hard calluses on the child's palm.

Xiao Fan has thought about this problem for a long time, "I want to become very powerful so that I can help Brother Hongye take revenge."

"Then what do you think is great?" Ever since Xiao Jumao decided to be with Tan Shiguan, he has been thinking about selecting a suitable heir from the clan. is nice.But Xiao Jumao still respected Xiao Fan's own opinion, after all not everyone wanted to be trapped in the palace, sitting on a cold dragon chair.

Xiao Fan thought about it carefully, and said, "Master is very powerful."

"But your master has been trapped by bad guys for several years."

"They all say that the emperor's uncle is the most powerful in the world." Xiao Fan looked at the gentle and harmless Xiao Jumao in front of him, his eyes were full of confusion, "Is it true?"

Xiao Jumao said slowly but cruelly: "You think your master is very powerful, but as long as I want to, she will die. Do you think Uncle Huang is very powerful?"

"Hmm! I've heard that those bad guys were all ordered to be killed by the emperor's uncle, and the emperor's uncle is the most powerful!" Xiao Fan suddenly realized.

Xiao Jumao smiled, "Then do you want to be the best?"

"miss you!"

"But if this is the case, you have to go back to the palace. Before you become the most powerful person, you will work very hard. Are you willing?"

Xiao Fan opened his dark eyes, "How hard is it?"

"Being trapped in the palace all the time, I can't control many things."

Xiao Fan's mind flashed that he inadvertently saw Brother Hongye secretly crying sadly, and nodded firmly, "Uncle Emperor, I am willing!"

Tan Lie asked Tan Shiguan with his eyes, what's going on?

Tan Shiguan walked slowly to Xiao Jumao, "Your Majesty, are you going back to the palace?"

Xiao Jumao asked Xiao Fan: "Would you like to go back to the palace with me?"

Xiao Fan nodded.

Only then did Xiao Jumao look at Tan Shiguan, "Today you are reunited with your family, so you will stay in the mansion. I will go back to the palace first." You and Tan Lie have nothing to talk about, so why not go back to the palace with me.

Tan Shiguan did have something to tell Tan Lie, but he was worried about Xiao Jumao alone, "I will send you back to the palace."

Xiao Jumao nodded.

Tan Shiguan sent Xiao Jumao and Xiao Fan to the gate of the palace, watched the car disappear into the palace wall, and then returned to Dingguo Palace.

Tan Lie was waiting for him, seeing him coming back, he immediately asked impatiently: "What does the emperor mean? Why do you ask Xiao Fan like that? Could it be that he..." Can't have children?

Tan Shiguan didn't answer his question, but said, "How long do you and sister-in-law plan to stay in the capital? Are you okay at Yunxiao Villa?"

Hearing this, Tan Lie glared at him, "I just came here and you asked me when I would go back. What do you mean? Besides, there is Changxuan in the villa, and he is already grown up. It's time for him to be alone."

"Alright," Tan Shiguan paused, "There is still more than a month until the New Year, do you want to celebrate the New Year in the capital?"

Tan Lie also wanted to celebrate the New Year with Tan Shiguan, but he couldn't bear the thought of Ji Changxuan being alone in the villa, but the younger brother was also alone, and his palms and backs were full of flesh, so he couldn't choose.

"By the way, when you went back to Jiangling City, didn't you say that you have the advantages of Longyang? Is there anyone?" Although Tan Lie felt that liking a man is not something glorious, but since the younger brother likes it, he will follow him. went.

Tan Shiguan was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "I will introduce you when I have a chance."

Tan Lie felt strange, "I'm in the capital now, isn't it an opportunity? Or is he not in the capital?"

Tan Shiguan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he said, "Brother and sister-in-law, if you have a biological child in the future, how will you treat him and Changxuan?"

Tan Lie didn't think about this question. After all, Jin Lan had a delicate mind, so he replied: "Changxuan is a good boy with good talent. With him around, your elder brother and I can rest assured that we will hand over the villa to him. If we have our own child, we will let him do what he likes, and we will make the two of them brothers and sisters respectful, and there will be no gaps."

Tan Shiguan knew that Jin Lansu understood, so he stopped worrying.

Jingquan Palace.

Xiao Jumao ordered Zhao Quan to reorganize the previously abandoned Prince's East Palace, and took Xiao Fan in.

"You will live here in the future, I will ask the Taifu to teach you, and I will also allow your master to come to the palace every day to teach you martial arts."

Xiao Fan listened very seriously, "Uncle Emperor, I understand, I will study hard and practice martial arts."

After Xiao Jumao settled down with Xiao Fan, he returned to Jingquan Palace, had dinner alone, and then sat in front of the case to review the memorial.

A brazier was lit in the hall, but he still felt cold and cold. After getting used to the life of two people, he suddenly returned to the mode of one person, and he was really uncomfortable.

Until Haishi, he felt sleepy, so he washed and went to the dragon bed, but he lay on the bed for a long time, but he couldn't fall asleep until midnight.

After the morning court the next day, Xiao Jumao said that he had something to discuss with Ding Guogong, and the two came to the imperial study together.

Xiao Jumao sat behind the desk, lowered his head to review the memorial, did not speak, did not give Tan Shiguan a seat, his handsome face was expressionless.

There was no sound in the imperial study room, and he stood there quietly for a while before he asked, "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"

Xiao Jumao ignored him, he was unhappy when he thought of being alone and sleepless last night.Tan Shiguan actually let himself stay in the palace alone for the sake of Tan Lie.

Seeing him like this, Tanshi sighed and said, "I didn't sleep all night last night."

Xiao Jumao stopped writing and listened to what he had to say, but Tan Shiguan stopped talking.

He coughed lightly and asked, "Why?"

Tan Shiguan looked up at him, and said softly: "Tossing and turning, sleepy and thinking about clothes."

A drop of ink fell on the memorial, Xiao Jumao suppressed the joy in his heart, came back to his senses, put down the pen, pretended to be calm and said: "I don't understand this memorial, please come and have a look."

Tan Shiguan walked up to the imperial case and looked down.

"Where do you not understand?"

Xiao Jumao looked up at him, "I don't understand everywhere."

The two looked at each other, Tan Shiguan put his hands on the imperial case, approached Xiao Jumao, and whispered in a low voice: "I have been thinking about Your Majesty last night, has Your Majesty ever thought about me?"

Xiao Jumao opened his big eyes, pretending not to understand, "You haven't explained the memorial for me yet."

Tan Shi watched with a smile, tilted his head and kissed his earlobe, then left, his eyes fell on the memorial, as if the apprentice just now was not him.

Xiao Jumao's heart suddenly burst into flames, Ding Guogong is really more and more like a little fairy who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

He grabbed Tan Shiguan by the collar and pulled him down. The tip of their noses touched instantly, and their breaths were entangled. Xiao Jumao kissed him on the lips, and his eyebrows became amorous, "I, too. Miss Ding Guogong."

Tan Shiguan supported the desk with one hand, and wrapped Xiao Jumao's back with the other, kissing him deeply, but it was just that he hadn't seen him all night, but he was madly missing him.

The lips and tongues of the two intertwined, the kiss became more and more intense, and the imperial case was separated in the middle, because of the actions of the two, the imperial case was poured directly towards Xiao Jumao, the ink in the inkstone was about to flow out, Xiao Jumao pushed him , stretched out his hand to straighten the imperial case, opened his rosy and slightly swollen lips, and cast a glance at him, "Come here."

Tan Shiguan went around, reached out and picked him up from the dragon chair, put his arms around his waist, pressed close to himself, and gave him another deep and lingering kiss.Xiao Jumao's heart was beating like a drum, and the brief separation seemed to make the two of them more emotional. He sat on the armrest of the dragon chair and raised his head to bear the hot catharsis from the man.

If it wasn't for Zhao Quan's report outside the door, they might have to do that kind of thing directly in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Master Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, seeks an audience."

The two paused for a moment, then separated, Xiao Jumao straightened his appearance, sat on the dragon chair, and said: "Let him in."

Shen Hui quickly entered the imperial study, saluted, saw Tan Shiguan was there, thought that he had interrupted the important matters of the emperor and Duke Ding, and was feeling uneasy, so Xiao Jumao asked in a hoarse voice: "What is Shen Aiqing's business?"

Shen Hui panicked: "Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has received a letter from Wufeng Kingdom."

In the Xiao Kingdom, the Ministry of Rites is also responsible for dealing with foreign countries. If there is a letter from a foreign country, it will be sent to the Ministry of Rites first, and then the Ministry of Rites will submit it to the emperor.

Tan Shiguan stretched out his hand to take it, and checked that there was nothing abnormal, so he opened it and put it on the imperial case.

Xiao Jumao looked over and was shocked, the new emperor of Wufeng Kingdom ascended the throne, sincerely invited Xiao Guo to send envoys to attend the enthronement ceremony, and the name of the new emperor is Wu Sang.
