Ma'am, is there someone out there?

In the library pavilion deep in the palace, rows of bookshelves are neatly arranged.

The national teacher walked between the bookshelves, his steps were very light, and he didn't even pick up any dust.Walking to a certain shelf, the national teacher smiled, bent down and looked in. A child about nine years old was shrinking at the bottom of the bookshelf, and a few books were pushed to the ground behind him.The child looked up at the national teacher in horror, the national teacher smiled and pulled him out by the collar.

The national teacher let him go, the child fell to the ground, and the national teacher shouted: "Little Huangshu?"

The one who was called Xiaohuangshu was the youngest son of the previous emperor Hongxi. When he was born, his father died a few months earlier, and his mother and concubine returned to the west after giving birth, leaving behind this poor child.No father cares, no mother loves, just a grass that grows in the deep palace that can eat people, whether it can live or not depends on whether it works hard or not.This kid, even his brother became the emperor, hadn't even used his original name for a day, so he had to change it to something black because of taboo.

Tsk tsk, this name is so ugly.

Uncle Wu Xin stammered and replied: "National, National Teacher!"

The person that Uncle Wuxin fears most in the palace is the national teacher, and even his elder brother can only be ranked second.Many eunuchs and maids said that the national teacher, he, he will absorb people's energy.Uncle Wu Xin moved his butt and hid back. There is no one here. Is he coming to eat me?

"Hey, why are you running, can I still eat you?" The national teacher had long nails on his fair fingers, and his nails brushed gently across Wu Xin's face, "You and your concubine mother But it doesn't look like it at all, it looks like Hong Xi."

Wu Xin blinked his slender eyes, and suddenly he was no longer afraid. No one had told him about his concubine mother and emperor father yet.He climbed to the foot of the national teacher, "National teacher, have you seen my mother and concubine?"

"Of course I have. Your concubine mother was also one of the most beautiful women in the palace back then. It's a pity that you didn't get half of her advantages and followed your father." The national teacher said, turning around, He added, "But it's not bad, at least it will be a beauty."

"I'm a man, how can I use...can I describe it as a beauty?" Wu Xin blushed, feeling ashamed. He was also educated, and a beauty is used to describe a beautiful woman.

"Hehe, it is rumored that Hong Xi is a handsome emperor, do you really think so?"

Wu Xin looked at the national teacher, puzzled.

"That's to save the emperor's face. It's nice to say. In fact, your old man is too effeminate. He is too embarrassed to let the world know. He is afraid that others will say that he is not majestic, so he pulled a handsome fig leaf to cover it up. Do you understand? ?” It is rare for the national teacher to be patient and talk to an ignorant child.

"National teacher, you are very good-looking too." After talking with the national teacher for a while, Wu Xin was not afraid of him anymore, and boldly said to the national teacher.

The national teacher was not annoyed when he heard this, and laughed a few times: "Uncle Huang, do you know how old I am?"

Wu Xin shook his head.

The national teacher stuck to his ear and said a number, Wu Xin opened his slender eyes in surprise.Seeing his expression, the national teacher rarely showed a smile, and his palm covered Wu Xin's head.

"When your imperial brother was this old..."

While the national teacher was talking, he suddenly stretched out a hand and pushed Wu Xin to the side. Wu Xin hit the bookshelf, at a loss.

The person who came was Emperor Changqing, who was staring at Wu Xin angrily, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

"Why are you losing your temper?" The national teacher squeezed his wrist, he was really scared to death by this kid, "It's just a child, what are you afraid of?"

Emperor Changqing looked at the national teacher silently, with a bit of aggrieved expression, the national teacher asked the overwhelmed Uncle Wu Xin to go out first, and when he saw that there was no one else, he said: "Look at you, even a child Jealousy is still the emperor."

"I..." Emperor Changqing turned his head, the national teacher covered his head with his hand and patted it, "I just patted that poor little thing."

"But you, it's been a long time..."

"Chongming, you are not a child." The national teacher pushed him away, "Don't always be like when you were a child, you didn't improve at all."

"That's right, I'm not young anymore. So the master of the national teacher wants to re-select someone, such as that kid, to replace me?" Emperor Changqing met the eyes of the national teacher.

The national teacher suddenly laughed, and lifted the bright yellow dragon robe on his body with his fingers, revealing the underclothes inside. The national teacher's fingertips slid down his chest along the underclothes.

"You think too much, I don't have the energy to teach Lu Chongming again..." The national teacher licked his shoulder and teased, "It makes me want to die..."

The national teacher's lips fell on his shoulder, which was cool, making him shiver involuntarily.He closed his eyes and recalled his childhood.

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Lu Chongming, who was hiding behind the boulder, turned his head in horror, and was, was discovered.

"National, National Teacher!" He fell to the ground, huddled into a ball in fear.The queen mother said that he can't come out and run around.

"Are you afraid of me?" The national teacher walked up to him and flicked his nose, "Am I scary?" As he spoke, the national teacher showed a smile, his fair cheeks lined with long silver-like hair, In a trance, people thought they saw a fairy.

"Not scary." He said tremblingly, and stared at the face of the national teacher carefully, "You are very good-looking, and you are not scary at all."

"Hehe." The national teacher laughed, "The little thing is quite good at talking."

"It's true. You are even more beautiful than Royal Father, the prettiest person I've ever seen." He raised his head, looked at the teacher and said.The national teacher also looked back at him, as if trying to discern the truth from his eyes.

He was trembling when he was watched by the national teacher, and the national teacher picked him up from the ground. He hugged the national teacher's arm with both hands nervously, so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe loudly.

"Didn't you say that I look good, why are you still trembling with fright?" The national teacher picked him up, pointed at the brightly lit banquet in front of the boulder, and asked.

"Do you envy him?"

Xiao Lu Chongming put his arms around his neck, looked towards the center of the banquet, and faintly heard his father's hearty laughter.

"Hahaha, this son is like me..."

Xiao Lu Chongming didn't speak, his mouth was tightly closed.

"Do you want to be him, the prince?" The voice of the national teacher recalled in Lu Chongming's ears, and he was stunned for a while before he understood.

"is it okay?"

The national teacher smiled again, his usual stingy smile was very generous tonight, with a smile in his mouth, bright brilliance burst out of his eyes.

"Of course, as long as you want, as long as you promise me, you will only listen to me in the future."

Lu Chongming was lost in the bright eyes of the national teacher, and he nodded without even hearing what he said.

"So cute." The national teacher stroked his hair, and Lu Chongming shyly avoided it. Except for his mother, he hadn't been touched on the head yet.

"What are you thinking?" The national teacher bit him on the shoulder, bringing Emperor Changqing's consciousness back to reality from a distant childhood.

"I think when I was a child..."

The clothes fell, splashing dust all over the place.Deep courtyard, no one approached.

In another palace far away, the wooden fish that Empress Dowager Qi was knocking broke with a crack. The Empress Dowager opened her eyes and sighed deeply.

Curly smoke rose from the incense burner in front of the Buddha, surrounded by smoke, Empress Dowager Qi's compassionate expression was blurred.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

Back to that small town.

In the early morning of the second day, Shen Qing and Xuan Shen got up early, washed up, and after breakfast, they decided to turn over the path that the old woman had mentioned in order to save some time.

The carriage was left in the old woman's inn by Shen Qing, who made an appointment to pick it up after a few days, and the two rode on the same horse.When it came to why there were three horses but insisted on riding one, Shen Qing felt a little embarrassed.

Shen Qing came from modern times and was used to driving a car, even in the end of the world, he has never come into contact with such an ancient means of transportation, it is not easy for him to learn to drive a horse-drawn carriage.This was also the reason why Shen Qing wanted to ride a carriage even though riding a horse was faster.

He really can't.

Xuan Shen was sitting on the tall maroon horse, holding the rein with one hand, and stretching out the other hand to Shen Qing who was underneath.

The old woman in the inn and several strong men watched, Shen Qing kept his eyes on, took Xuan Shen's hand in shame, and climbed onto the horse's back.

Fortunately, Xuan Shen didn't let him sit in front, Shen Qing sat behind Xuan Shen, looked at the back of Xuan Shen's head and thought happily.

"Sit still!" Xuan Shen swung his whip, and the big bay red horse leaped forward and galloped forward, the wind whizzed behind Shen Qing's ears.Shen Qing supported Xuan Shen's shoulders, and shouted: "Don't run away, this is still on the street!"

Xuan Shen sat at the front, showing a smirk as if he had done something bad, and then tightened the rein to slow the horse down.

Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there were not many people on the road, so no one was disturbed.

After leaving the city gate, Xuan Shen's speed increased, two grown men were sitting on a horse, it was always a bit crowded, Shen Qing pressed against Xuan Shen's back, holding his breath.

"Is it going this way?" Shen Qing looked at the terrain on both sides. There was a simple map drawn by the old woman on his body. There were two roads in front of him, one left and one right. Shen Qing sat on the horseback and walked with difficulty. Take out the map.

"Don't look, I know which way to go." Xuan Shen glanced casually at the intersection, and said to Shen Qing with an inexplicably confident tone.

Shen Qing didn't have time to answer, Xuan Shen had already chosen a path on his horse and rushed forward.

"You know the way?"

"Intuition." Xuan Shen squinted his eyes, he felt that his intuition was very accurate.
