It's hard to be the king of rebirth

"Shopkeeper, can you give me a menu?" Xiao Fu shouted at the dozing man, with a twisted tone

The man looked up listlessly and glanced at everyone: "Guest officer, our country shop doesn't have a menu, only ready-made porridge and side dishes." The shopkeeper has no eyesight.

Xiaofu picked up a piece of silver and put it on the table, and was about to call the shopkeeper to open his eyes to see the nobleman who came today, but the emperor stopped him and said: "Porridge and side dishes are just white porridge and side dishes, do as the Romans do." Zhou Xu smiled slightly and said, "Heng Zhi, what do you think?"

Zhou Xu naturally followed the emperor's hair and said, "What brother said is true." But he was amused in his heart. The emperor really thought that the porridge and side dishes in this rural place were as exquisite as those in the palace?

Sure enough, the shopkeeper entered the back kitchen behind the curtain for a while, and then saw a country woman with a dark and yellow complexion bring out a basin of white porridge.The woman rudely placed seven bowls on the table, each of which was chipped.Rao Zhou Xu, who has never been pampered before, stared wide-eyed, isn't this too confusing?

Everyone stared at the bowl of porridge and fell silent for a moment. Xiao Fu rolled his eyes and said, "Master, let's go to the carriage and get some dry food for everyone to eat?"

This time the emperor finally stopped talking funny, nodded his head, frowned and said to himself: "Are the people so miserable?"

Xiaofu brought Yise snacks and dry food, and everyone ate silently without daring to speak.Zhou Xu thought the pasta and jerky were too choking, so he couldn't eat it after a few mouthfuls.

The rooms in this inn are naturally dilapidated.Xiao Fu dragged the bedding, pillows and other things in the carriage, and worked hard for more than half an hour before packing up a slightly livable room for the emperor.The emperor explained that he should hurry to get up early, wiped himself off and went back to his room to rest.

Zhou Xu felt bored, running around for a day exhausted him too much, and now his stomach was tight, so he simply borrowed the guard's bow and arrow, went to the mountain forest under the moonlight to hunt two hares, and came back, piled up firewood in the field outside the inn and started a fire , Put the hare that has been simply treated with sharp branches on the fire, crackling, and soon the fat and fragrance will overflow, making your mouth water.

While Zhou Xu was enjoying himself, the emperor, who had been tossing and turning on the bed, smelled the aroma and came looking for the smell of meat.

Seeing that the rabbit meat was about to be cooked, Zhou Xu sprinkled some salt, cumin, and chili noodles. The emperor watched it quietly for a moment, swallowed, and said, "The roast meat is roasted in the middle of the night, I'm so excited."

Seeing that the emperor was interested, Zhou Xu smiled and said, "Brother, would you like to share this wild game with me? Although it's a bit rough, the taste is guaranteed to be good."

The emperor had already come to Zhou Xu's side, sat on the ground with him, and said with a smile, "I am extremely happy."

The two of them tossed and tossed for a whole day, but they didn't have a mouthful of hot food, but seeing that the roasted rabbit meat was cooked, Zhou Xu cut off two rabbit legs for the emperor, held them with sharp sticks, and said, "Be careful of burning them."The emperor blew it, and took a small bite tentatively. The rabbit meat was cooked just right, and the mouth was full of fat and deliciousness. After the first bite, he tasted the sweetness, and the emperor couldn't bear it any longer. He swallowed it with his own tongue.

Seeing the emperor eating so happily, Zhou Xu cut up the rabbit meat and ate it himself.The moon is bright and the wind is clear in the mountains, the insects are singing and the birds are singing, sitting so close to the emperor on the floor, Zhou Xu almost forgot the many grievances before, and really felt like an ordinary relationship between brothers.

The imperial palace used to have a lot of rules, and they paid attention to food and movement. How could the emperor have such an experience of eating meat in the middle of the night? Once in a while, he felt very happy and comfortable, and accidentally ate too much.

Satisfied with wine and food, the emperor sighed towards the fire and said, "I originally thought that the Dajing Kingdom was in a peaceful and prosperous age, and most of the papers I received every day were praising the people's living and working in peace and contentment. I never thought that the people are so miserable. , it’s no wonder that Tsing Yi can grow so strong, it’s because I’m stupid.”

Zhou Xu pondered for a moment: "Brother, don't worry too much. Which one of the officials doesn't report the good news but not the bad news? To be an official is to be an official, and you can keep your official position by doing nothing. Now it is true...it is a peaceful and prosperous age, but in this rural area If you are poorer, go further, especially in the Jiangnan area, it is really rich."

The emperor nodded and said nothing, and after a long time, he said lightly: "Yes, who dares to tell the truth to me? Even the closest people would not dare." As he spoke, he cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Xu, and continued: "Hengzhi, if you had made it clear to me earlier, you wouldn't have such a lot of things later."

Zhou Xu wondered, what exactly is the emperor referring to?Afraid that it was an old story of King Xian, it was inconvenient for him to ask more questions, so he said smoothly: "I will never dare to hide anything from my elder brother in the future."

The emperor pondered for a while, and finally said coldly: "Well, tell me, did you meet someone in the back garden that day?"

Zhou Xu trembled, knowing that the fact that he met Concubine Jing had been revealed, he was speechless for a long time, what else could he say?To say too much is sophistry.

The emperor saw that his face was livid and had nothing to say, and said gently: "When you meet, you meet, and when you hear what you hear, you listen to it, but Heng Zhi, don't worry too much, it's all just crazy talk."

Zhou Xu's lips trembled a little, and he asked, "So, those crazy words are totally unbelievable?"

The emperor stared at him for a while, his eyes were burning, and he said slowly: "Yes, Heng Zhi, you only need to trust your brother."

Zhou Xu nodded and said no more.

Zhou Xu extinguished the fire on the field and went back to the inn with the emperor.Before entering the room, the emperor whispered in Zhou Xu's ear: "Hengzhi, you said before that it would be fine if you and I were not brothers. I didn't understand your intentions at the time." The emperor paused and continued: "I understand now, but it's a pity you can't remember." After saying that, he smiled and went back to the house.

Zhou Xu was alone in the corridor, and he didn't dare to think about this sentence.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiaofu was in a hurry, saying that the emperor's abdomen was distended early in the morning and he was uncomfortable.Doctor Li went to check the pulse, pondered for a moment and said, the emperor's slippery pulse is mainly due to excess heat, phlegm rushes to the chest and abdomen, and food has accumulated.

When Xiaofu heard this, he became anxious, thinking that he was not serving well, and the dry food he brought was unclean, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and said that the slave is not well served, the slave should be damned, the emperor was already uncomfortable, and he was even more depressed when he heard it.

Zhou Xu saw it, of course he knew it was the roast hare meat he had eaten last night, so he felt guilty.

Doctor Li prescribed a prescription and took the medicine, Xiaofu immediately went to decoct the medicine in a hurry, and the medicine was boiled out in an hour.

"My lord, you are not feeling well, can you stay here for one more day?" Xiaofu asked cautiously while holding the medicine.

The emperor closed his eyes and waved his hands, and said weakly: "No, just leave after drinking the medicine, just drive slowly."

"My lord, although the medicine is bitter, you should drink it anyway." Xiaofu blew cold a spoonful of black bitter medicine juice, and held it up in front of the emperor, but the emperor didn't open his mouth or speak, with a disgusted expression on his face, Xiaofu was in a hurry Crying out, his family's Long Live Lord is not like this in the palace, why is it so hard to serve him when he is out of the palace?

The other five people squeezed into the small guest room of the inn, not daring to breathe, and stared blankly at the emperor and the spoonful of medicine, cramped and embarrassed.

The emperor opened his eyes slightly, glanced sideways at Zhou Xu, and closed his eyes again without speaking.Zhou Xu felt uneasy, and immediately understood, and said to Xiaofu: "You step back first, and I will serve my brother to drink medicine."

Xiaofu was clever, and immediately handed the medicine to Zhou Xu respectfully, everyone would understand, quietly backed away, and closed the door behind him.

……

Zhou Xu handed the medicinal juice to the emperor's lips, and sure enough, the emperor obediently opened his mouth, spoonful after spoonful, and after a while, the bottom of the bowl of medicine was drained.

"Is the medicine bitter? Brother, do you want some candied fruit?"

The emperor glanced at him and said: "No, it's not a child."

Zhou Xu slandered, it wasn't his act of refusing to drink the medicine, isn't he still a child?I heard before that the more deeply a person is in the city, the more willful he is.

After resting for another half an hour, the group of people started on the road again.

The carriage and horses were bumping, and the emperor rested his head lazily on Zhou Xu's shoulder, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping, intentionally or not.

Zhou Xu's body was stiff, and he didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to breathe out, the inside of the car was not ventilated, it was extremely hot, Zhou Xu didn't dare to wipe his sweat for fear of disturbing the emperor's rest, so he let the sweat drip down his cheeks.

Zhou Xu complained in his heart, I didn't force you to eat last night, you couldn't help but eat too much, it's too unreasonable to blame me if you don't feel well today.

The disease I caused the emperor, even if I cry, I have to take care of him.

After fasting for two days, the emperor finally recovered completely. Zhou Xu heaved a sigh of relief. He expected that this torture would finally come to an end, but the road is long, and I don't know what the emperor will do.

It's been almost a month, one journey through the mountains, one journey through the water, the scenery along the way is infinite and various, so uncomfortable.

Although the emperor was spoiled and raised in the palace since childhood, he was easy to serve when he was out of the palace. He didn't choose food and lodging, and the servants were also relieved. However, although the servants were worry-free, Zhou Xu was not.During this journey, the emperor has bluffed Zhou Xu many times, both openly and secretly, and the emperor took it for fun.

On June [-]th, a group of people went to Guanzhou. After staying in the inn, the round-faced and long-eared shopkeeper saw that they were lavish and extraordinary. Lian will?"

Zhou Xu and the emperor looked at each other and smiled knowingly.Unintentionally inserted willows and willows into shades, but happened to bump into this excitement.

"Chaolianhui? This name is very elegant." The emperor said to himself, looking very interested.

The boss smiled at the corners of his eyes, and introduced proudly that the Chaolian Festival is the most famous festival in Guanzhou. Many people from other provinces came to Guanzhou to watch the lotus flowers on June [-]th. .

Zhou Xu wondered, "Where are there no lotus flowers, why do you have to come here to see them?"

The boss smiled and said: "Everyone likes to join in the fun. On June [-]th, that is, tomorrow night, we will watch the state. Men and women will come out of the city, setting up lanterns everywhere to admire the lotus, drinking and composing poems, and the oirans from all provinces go boating to play and sing. Extremely lively."

Everyone felt itchy when they heard this, and wanted to see the Chaolian event, so they immediately decided to stay in Guanzhou for one more day.
