over ten thousand people

After tossing and tossing for half a night, I slept quite deeply this time.When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the sky was so bright that I couldn't distinguish the very faint pink of the nectarine paper on the window.There was no one around, so I called out: "Liu Jin, bring water."

"The old slave is here." Liu Jin responded immediately, and after a while, she walked up to me with small steps, holding the tray in her hand and bowing her head.

My throat was so dry that I raised my head and drank all the warm water in the cup. "What time is it?" Zhen asked, putting down the fine porcelain cup casually.

"Return to Your Majesty, the time has just passed."

"When did Prime Minister Xie return home?"

When I asked Xie Jingyu, Liu Jin trembled imperceptibly. "Xie Xiangchou was just leaving the palace." He paused, as if he continued with difficulty: "Xie Xiang told this old slave that if His Majesty asks, he will still see His Majesty in the afternoon."

As expected, it was midnight... Xie Jingyu said earlier that he couldn't leave after dawn, and I knew it in my heart.Running around is not too troublesome, I secretly snickered at him, but I can't say I am not happy. "What else did Xie Xiang say?"

"Xie Xiang also said..." Liu Jin's throat seemed to be choked by something, "I want Shangshi Bureau to prepare... light food for His Majesty in the next few days."

A sentence was spoken so intermittently, I couldn't help but glance at Liu Jin.The old servant didn't raise his head after entering the door, obviously he didn't dare to look at me at all.I am very interested in guessing whether the reason is because he saw the mottled marks on my body, or he heard my obviously hoarse voice. "Who cleaned up the funeral?"

From Liu Jin's exposed profile, his face was really green. "This old servant cleans up the bath himself, and there is absolutely no second person. But your majesty is..." He lowered his head as he spoke, "Mr. Xie insisted on personally..."

Although he only said half of what he said, it is enough for me to understand—in fact, I can’t say that I didn’t expect Xie Jingyu to let others see a certain appearance of me. "Okay," I said, instantly saving Liu Jin from the embarrassment of trying to get himself into the cracks in the ground, "I'm hungry, is lunch ready?"

Liu Jin kept saying what she should, and then back and forth helped me to dress and wash.When the meal is almost done, I will drive to the South Pavilion to read the brochures handed over today.Because it is still the winter solstice holiday, there are quite few things to do, so I will finish the approval in a short time.

Xie Jingyu was just stepping on this point to ask for a meeting.Liu Jin hurriedly retreated after introducing him to the door, slipping faster than a rabbit.Xie Jingyu also noticed it, turned his head slightly, and glanced over.He didn't turn to me until the door was closed. "Your Majesty is up now?"

"Don't get up, are you going to approve the paper for me?" I choked on him angrily.

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu approached me a little closer, sizing me up carefully, with vague nervousness in his eyes.However, I'm already fully dressed at this time, no matter how he looks at it, it's impossible for him to see any flaws.It took him a long while before he gave up on such a meaningless move in my opinion. "I'm just worried..." he whispered, his cheeks began to flush slightly again, "I did it last night."

It was fine if he didn't mention last night, but when he mentioned me, the evil fire came out again. "Do you still dare to say it?" How dare you use all kinds of tricks on me?No matter how good the family education of Nan Wu Xie's is, it doesn't include kung fu in bed, right?

"I'm just..." Xie Jingyu immediately wanted to explain.But meeting my gaze, he seemed to have suddenly changed his mind. "Is your majesty uncomfortable?"

I was about to reprimand him a few more words, but I choked for a moment when I heard the words.Although the scale is large, it is too much to say that it is uncomfortable-because the truth is, it is too comfortable. "It's okay to be uncomfortable, and it's okay to be too comfortable!"

Xie Jingyu definitely thought this was an affirmation in disguise, because his face was instantly lit up. "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your blue eyes."

"You..." I was almost speechless.He is avoiding the important and taking the light of the light. He said that obviously because there is still a future.In the future... thinking about doing it again, my scalp is numb. "Thank you, it's never too late, and restraint is a virtue." When I said this, I was in a daze—was the object reversed?

Xie Jingyu was also taken aback.But after thinking about it, his first reaction was to feel wronged. "Your Majesty, the minister has already restrained himself."

……What?Is there such a thing?

"Tell me, where did you restrain yourself?" I couldn't help asking.

"I originally wanted to continue directly," Xie Jingyu replied, looking at my face cautiously, "but I see what your majesty means, if you don't take a bath first, your majesty may kick me out."

The taste in these words... I really don't dare to taste it carefully, because just listening to it, I feel a heat rising in my body. Thinking about it, I will definitely blush with him. "You really..." I didn't know what to reply.

For a moment, the room was full of embarrassment, with a certain familiar ambiguous undercurrent.

In the end, it was Xie Jingyu who spoke first: "I didn't expect what I wanted to do before I met the saint yesterday. What you can do with your body is nothing but what you feel. Your Majesty doesn't need to pay too much attention to it."

Xie Jingyu slowed down and spoke with sincerity, which sounded very convincing.I discovered this when I came to court for the first time, but I never expected him to say such things in such a tone at that time. "You are the only one who can talk!" I couldn't help but glared at him, "What are you doing standing there, why don't you come here!"

Two adult men of not low stature are squeezed together, and even my seat, which is much wider than usual, can hardly accommodate it.The body is stacked, and the breath is hot; if it is not done what should be done last night, no one would be willing to stop.

The person most willing to see this kind of situation is probably none other than Liu Jin.When Xie Jingyu entered, he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy; but when Xie Jingyu left before dinner, I was still fully dressed, and he was so grateful that he almost kowtowed to the Bodhisattva to fulfill his wish.

It's only a month and a half since the first day, and nothing major happened during this period.In December, Xingjing City was blowing snow, and every morning was full of Qiongzhi Yushu, covered in silver.After the end of the ten-day period, all the people who should come have arrived in Xingjing, and the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple immediately sorted out the list of gifts for the Yuan Dynasty, and presented them to me in advance for my review.After all, there are not many people who have the confidence to surprise me like Yongmeng, and most of the gifts are delivered in advance.

It is not the first time for me to experience the Great Yuan Dynasty, and I know that most of the things received are still given away, so I am very careless when I read the gift list.Sister gave me a new longbow, which is good; Xie Jingyu gave me a sand model of the Grand Canal, with a heart; Yongmeng is still an ancient book... Uh, how many ancient books has he collected?

I muttered and continued to look down.There are things like gold, silver and jewelry everywhere, and I scanned them at a glance.I didn't fix my eyes until the part of the foreign country's contribution——

Huihe, how many cattle and sheep, how many fine wines, how many beauties;

In Tubo, how many good horses, how many good medicines, how many beauties?

I naturally accept cattle, sheep, and good horses, and good medicine and wine are also useful; but who can tell me, how can they all think of presenting beauties to me?

I thought to myself.Could it be that Tubo and Huihe knew that I opened Nacai this year, so they couldn't wait to put some of their own people around me?No matter how bad it is, I hope that I will know the taste of tenderness and indulge in it, so as not to create too much pressure on them?After all, it is impossible to sincerely hope that I will have many children and grandchildren, and strengthen my dynasty?

——It’s a weasel paying New Year’s greetings to a chicken, no good intentions!

Although I don't think that Huihe and Tubo are enough to be the threat of weasels compared to this dynasty, but this is the smell inside.For a moment, my first thought was to pass it on to other ministers; but in the next moment, I remembered Wei Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, drooling at a little lady in red...

If beauties from Huihe or Tubo came to his house, it would be a problem whether the many secrets of the Ministry of War could be kept.Besides, I know that there is a Wei Ji, and there may not be a second one in the court!

But when it comes to bringing them into my harem, I'm really not very happy.Of course it's okay to use tricks, but I'm afraid it's easier to ask God than to send God away...

I stared at the few small words on the gift list, and quickly turned various countermeasures in my head.It didn't take long for me to realize that sending the gods away is not a problem; either I will build plank roads openly and hide the old positions, or I will be more ruthless, planting blame and killing people with knives.

Thinking of this, I sneered again and again in my heart.No matter what ideas those foreigners have; if they think that a few beauties can confuse me, then they are very wrong!

In my secret poking and gearing up, the first day has arrived.

Although I kept watch all night on New Year's Eve, when I thought about what I had to do the next day, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep at all.This is not a shallow game, and I can't wait to see them make their own cocoons.The only pity is that, like the Winter Solstice Dynasty, foreign tributes are still at the end.According to my temperament, I must first ritually judge and appreciate the annual rites offered by the relatives of the clan and the civil and military officials.

But maybe Xie Jingyu was right in his words again, this year all the generals who are away gave good things.Needless to say, the party and himself, he also brought several other people to learn from him.What is more special is Murong Qi, who brought me a pair of white gyrfalcons from northern Xinjiang.

This is the first time I have received a living gift.In addition, this is also the first time I have seen a white gyrfalcon - gyrfalcons are usually gray and black all over; the white ones are not pure white, but have gray and black markings at the end of their feathers.The pair of gyrfalcons are still immature, but their feathers are fully replaced, and their sharp barbed beaks line their eyes like lightning. Even in the cage, they look majestic.How precious they are, you can see how many staring eyes and swallowing sounds are around.

"...so handsome, I knew at the first sight that only Your Majesty is worthy to be their master." Murong Qi respectfully said, "So I dedicate it to Your Majesty."

I won't take any compliments at the moment, for two gyrfalcons are staring at me with their little black eyes, and I'm not taking my eyes off them. "Can you let it out now?"

Yes, this bird is Costin~
