It's hard to be the king of rebirth

The service in Jianxiu Pavilion is considerate and the sound insulation is top-notch. As long as the guests don't give orders, no one will bother you even if you kill people and sing operas in the house.

The two drank a few sips of tea and played a game of chess. Zhou Xu's chess skills were taught by the oiran sister of Zuiyinlou, so naturally he was not far behind; For a while, the two met their opponents and it was hard to tell whether they would win or lose. This game lasted for two hours and ended with Zhou Xu admitting defeat.

It was Haishi, Zhou Xu said, "You sleep on the bed at night, I'll sleep on the ground."

Li Sang glanced at Zhou Xu, who was yawning profusely, and knew in his heart that today he deliberately gave way to him, so he stopped politely saying hello.

Playing a game of chess exhausted a lot of energy, and hadn't slept well these days, Zhou Xu was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open.So he spread the fox fur on the Taishi chair on the floor, took a pillow from the bed, and lay down with his clothes on.

Li Sang watched him busy, but didn't say a word, just sat on the grand teacher's chair and drank a cup of tea slowly.

Zhou Xu tossed and turned on the ground for a while, feeling sleepy and unable to sleep. This prince has a habit of taking a bath every night, and he cannot fall asleep without taking a bath.

Li Sang looked at Zhou Xu who was tossing and turning, and said with a smile, "Your lord can't sleep without taking a bath?"

Zhou Xu was so angry that he almost lost his temper. Could it be that Bai Jiu talked to him?Although they understood that King Xian was their assassination target, Tsing Yi would be able to figure out all the details of life, but... still very uncomfortable, feeling a little embarrassed and irritated in his heart.

"The bath water is ready, the prince will get up and take a bath." Li Sang was unyielding, just wanted to see him laughing

"...The water is completely cold, forget it."

"It's very simple." Li Sang walked to the side of the basin, tried the temperature of the water, put his palm on the side of the wooden basin, a burst of internal force was output, and the water in the basin immediately burst into steam: "Your Majesty wants as much heat as you want." Okay, it can be used to scald dead pigs and boil meat."

"...Master Li Sang, please let me go." After a while, Zhou Xu said helplessly.

There are two types of this person, one is that he looks like a gentleman at the beginning, but after getting along with him for a long time, he finds that he is actually self-willed but self-respecting to death; In fact, he is very stubborn and cautious in his bones; unfortunately, Li Sang is the first type, and Zhou Xu is somewhat close to the second type.

Li Sang could hear the impatience in his tone, and felt that the joke was over, so he said that and let it go, so he put on his clothes and went to lie down on the bed, without saying a word all night.

Zhou Xu tossed and turned for a few rounds. She was so sleepy that she gradually fell asleep.

It was still dark when he woke up. Seeing that Li Sang was still sleeping, Zhou Xu gently put the fox fur back on the chair and put the pillow back in place.After sleeping on the ground all night, her back was sore, Zhou Xu stood in front of the window for a while, stretched and moved her arms, watched Li Sang move, rubbed her eyes, and then had the heart to call for someone to wash her.

"Did your lord sleep well last night?"

Zhou Xu beat his waist, squeezed his shoulders and nodded, Li Sang laughed.

As usual, the breakfast is porridge and side dishes. Although it is plain, it is also delicate.Li Sang mentioned that when he was working in the Guangdong and Guangxi branch, the rice rolls, radish cake, quicksand buns and the like that were served early there were very delicious, which aroused Zhou Xu's yearning for a while.

"Brother Zhou, you can leave later, there is no reason for guests to deal with the aftermath."

"Hmm..." Zhou Xu nodded, rinsed his mouth with tea, and said with a smile, "I will tell Lord Xie that Mr. Bai Yuan has served you very well. He really is a rare gem."

Li Sang glared at him: "You can be proud, there will be opportunities to deal with you in the future."

"To be honest, Mr. Li Sang, next time you should stop pretending to be a rabbit master. How can there be a husband who doesn't know the rhythm? It's better to pretend to be a butcher and deliver food to my house—"

Li Sang snorted and said: "Yes, who can be as thoughtful and proficient as Mr. Xiaolou in the prince's mansion."

One sentence made Zhou Xu's chest tight for a whole day, it was really cruel.

Back at the mansion, before his butt was hot, Bo Ru trotted over to report that King Ning had returned from a victorious battle in northern Xinjiang, and in the evening the emperor invited everyone to the palace to have a drink and listen to a play, and asked Zhou Xu if he would go.

going or not?Is there still an option not to go?Seeing Zhou Xu nodding, Bo Ru quickly trotted to answer.

When Zhou Xu arrived, everyone was almost there.

King Ning was eight feet tall, with a square face and big eyes. He was about 30 years old and had a beard.Standing beside him was Jin Wang Zong Wang, all of whom were the emperor's uncles.

This King Ning is also considered a legend in today's world. He is brave and good at fighting. He went to the battlefield at the age of 22, became a lieutenant general a year later, and became the head coach at the age of 24 a year later.He has been fighting on horseback all year round, has never lost a battle, has made a lot of military exploits, but has never married a wife and had children in his [-]s, and he looks down on many ministers and families who are matchmakers.

As soon as King Ning saw Zhou Xu, he jumped forward and hugged him, the strength in his hands was so strong that it hurt Zhou Xu.King Ning laughed loudly and said: "Good nephew, I haven't seen you for several years, but you have grown so tall and even more handsome." He increased the strength of his hands and continued: "It's just that you are thinner and paler, Tomorrow, let's walk with me." The princes beside him also laughed loudly.

Zhou Xu struggled to lift his head from King Ning's arms, turned his face away, and looked at the emperor with pleading eyes. The emperor laughed secretly and did not speak, and seemed to be enjoying it.

Well, King Ning treats him like a child, even though the emperor is not much older than him, no matter how reckless King Ning is, he dare not hug the emperor and rub him in his arms, here he is the only one who can bully him.

At the welcome dinner, King Ning ate meat and drank alcohol with everyone. He was very generous, but he did not persuade Zhou Xu to drink. It seemed that everyone knew his physique well.

"When I was in northern Xinjiang, I heard that nephew Wang was attacked by an assassin. Is the injury completely healed? I also heard that the palace of the virtuous king has been broken into by assassins many times? This thief is getting more and more rampant, nephew virtuous king You have to be more careful, and the guards in the house must be in place." King Ning said while chewing on a leg of lamb.

"Thank you Uncle Wang for your concern. My nephew is fine. I will keep what Uncle Wang said in my heart."

"One day, my nephew, if it's convenient for you, let me go to the mansion of the virtuous king to find out all the dead corners that can hide assassins and have potential safety hazards, and then send some useful guards to your mansion." Guard, no matter how powerful his assassin is, he will never get into your house."

Zhou Xu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said, "Then there will be Uncle Lao."

"Don't blame Uncle Wang for my rambunctiousness, nephew Wang, don't bring those nonsense things to the palace from now on, hahaha."

"Uncle Wang taught you a lesson." Zhou Xu rolled his eyes in his heart. This King Ning was also too bold and unbearable.Originally, he had imagined that King Ning would never marry a wife and have children. I am afraid that the Xiao family has a tradition of cutting off sleeves. He has the same hobby as King Xian. Now it seems absolutely impossible.

Zhou Xu sighed secretly again, dare to say that the whole world knows about his little boy pet running away, it has become a topic of conversation after dinner, I don't know how it has been embellished, and several versions have been circulated .

King Ning was still unyielding, and he was very excited to teach the younger generation a lesson. He just swallowed a mouthful of mutton, and raised a shiny hand to scold the rabbit master for corrupting the atmosphere. Zhou Xu hurriedly looked at the emperor, who understood, and coughed. He said, "Uncle Huang, how does this roast leg of lamb compare to what you ate in northern Xinjiang?"

King Ning was stunned, and said with a smile: "Although there are a lot of cattle and sheep over there, the cooking techniques in such a rough place are very primitive, far inferior to the delicate and delicious taste of my Dajing Kingdom, and there is no comparison." The princes once again boasted that Dajing Country is rich in products, outstanding people, and they all drank and ate meat. It was a lively scene, but Zhou Xu was sitting on pins and needles throughout the whole process, drinking tea all the time after a few mouthfuls. These emperors saw it inside.

Everyone was full of wine and food, and went for a walk in the imperial garden. Zhou Xu deliberately slowed down and kept a distance from the crowd, trying to be quiet.Thinking that this King Ning would not really go to his house to strengthen the defense?Looking at the beautiful scenery of the beautiful flowers and the full moon, and thinking about what Yueqing is doing at the moment, whether he is eating well, what and who he is eating, thinking about it, he feels sentimental and sighs.

If you can't let it go in your heart, everything you see is fate and desolation.

"What is Hengzhi worrying about?" The emperor had already stood beside Zhou Xu at some point.

Startled, Zhou Xu raised her head to meet the emperor's dark eyes, which seemed to be smiling.

"I'm thinking, just now King Ning taught me the right thing, and my brother is thinking about it."

The emperor laughed and said: "King Ning has always been outspoken, Hengzhi doesn't have to be so concerned, it's not good to leave grudges in his heart."

Zhou Xu shook his head with a smile: "How dare I, brother."

"Why don't you stay in the palace tonight? Hengzhi hasn't talked with me for a long time."

Zhou Xu has been exhausted recently, and he really doesn't want to deal with it anymore. He hesitated for a while and said, "My brother has often felt extremely exhausted recently. I'm afraid I might spoil the interest of my brother. After thinking about it, I think it's better to go back..."

The emperor immediately interrupted: "What I said is, Heng Zhi, you are just recovering from illness, you should rest more—" After a pause, he took a deep look at Zhou Xu, and continued with great interest: "I heard that Heng Zhi last night After all, you stayed in Jianxiu Pavilion overnight, although you are young, you are not fully recovered from your illness after all, you should cherish your body more." Cherish your body is a long-winded word.

"...Brother Huang is right." Zhou Xu gasped, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The emperor stared at his appearance and smiled, then walked up quickly to talk with King Ning and others, leaving Zhou Xu standing there alone.

Zhou Xu wiped off his sweat, still in shock.

After a cup of tea, the theater troupe from the palace came out to perform.The emperor asked King Ning to order a play. King Ning was born as a military general, so he naturally liked lively scenes of dancing with knives and guns, so he ordered "The Meeting of Heroes".The emperor asked Zhou Xu to order again, and Zhou Xu blindly ordered "The Dream of Longevity". Be obsessed.He was even more depressed, sighed, then stood up, planning to go to the Royal Garden for a walk to relax.

The wind was clear and the moon was bright, so Zhou Xu walked far away. When he walked to Luhu Lake, where he had been last time, there were few people at night, and the lake was clean and open. Zhou Xu sat under the dangerous railing outside the pavilion by the lake, feeling melancholy towards the moon while blowing the lake breeze. .

Just when he was feeling drowsy and full of thoughts, he suddenly heard someone whispering through the grass——
