When I entered Mao, the sky gradually darkened.The palace people lit up the lamps, and the forbidden palace was brightly lit.The guards lined up to patrol the Forbidden Palace, and sometimes the eunuchs and eunuchs who were dispatched passed by in a hurry without making a sound.

When Chu Si opened his eyes, he saw the bright yellow curtain.He froze for a moment, then came to his senses.He hurriedly opened the curtain and got out of bed, only to see that there was no one in the dormitory, he was slightly relieved.He found his shoes, put them on, and carefully left the bedroom.

"Are you up?" Just as he stepped out of the room, he saw Shao Jing sitting in front of a small table with some small dishes and a pot of wine warming in a porcelain cup.

"Your Majesty." Chu Si saluted, but Shao Jing waved at him, motioning him to sit opposite him.

"This..." Chu Si hesitated.

But Shao Jing said: "I've already slept on the dragon couch, why are you holding on to this ceremony with me!"

What he said made Chu Si's face turn red, and he sat across from Shao Jing: "I obey the order."

The monarch and his ministers sat opposite each other, Shao Jing looked at Chu Si carefully, but Chu Si didn't dare to look up at his monarch.After a while, Shao Jing sighed, "It's been good these years."

"It's okay." Chu Si picked up the jug, first filled it for Shao Jing, then filled his own, and put the jug back to its original place.

"You Zhi..." Shao Jing paused, turned the subject, and said, "Today, I just want to catch up with you. Now that I have become the emperor, I don't even have anyone to talk to."

Chu Si's heart softened when he heard this, and his back that had been tense all the time relaxed, and then he looked up at Shaojing.

Shaojing's appearance has hardly changed, but there are some differences.There is a bit more sternness between the eyebrows and eyes, and the temperament is more stable, with sword eyebrows and eagle eyes, there is a kind of natural emperor's air, which is incomparable with that day.There was some gossip between the two. Chu Si hadn't asked about the world for a long time, so Shao Jing briefly talked about the affairs of the court, China and the outside world in the past few years. Chu Si listened carefully and asked a few questions from time to time. Unavoidably, there was some embarrassment, some feeling that things were different, and after a while, most of the wine and vegetables on the table and the hot wine in the pot were wiped out by the two of them.

The candle flames on the short table flickered and crackled occasionally, illuminating the room dimly.Shao Jing lifted the lampshade, and handed Chu Bang a pair of scissors, and Chu Bang reached out to cut the candle wick.

"Why cut the candles in the west window together..." Shao Jing groaned.

"... But it's raining at night in Bashan." Chu Si responded.In a trance, it was as if they had gone back to many years ago, and the two sat opposite each other, except that Shao Jing was facing a table full of Jing Lun, and he was beside him, helping him cut off the too long candle wick.

"It's a pity that in winter, there is no rain at night," Shao Jing joked, raising his wine cup, "but there is snow at night."

"..." Chu Si also raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. Hearing what Shao Jing said, he was slightly surprised: "It's snowing?"

After finishing speaking, he put down the wine cup, got up and opened the window.

as expected.The snow in the twelfth lunar month was so fierce that it was like goose feathers. A thick layer had already accumulated on the marble floor tiles outside the hall. The footprints of the patrolling guards were still left on the ground, and they were soon covered by new snowflakes.The dwarf pine planted in the yard has been covered with a thick layer, and the sky and the earth can be vaguely seen through the lamp, completely white.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year..." Chu Si was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There is rarely such a heavy snowfall in the capital. Chu Si grew up in the Central Plains region with a pleasant climate, and he had never seen it in his hometown.Ever since he was imprisoned that year and his health has deteriorated, Wang Er took him very seriously and never let him go out in rainy or snowy weather.So Chu Si got carried away for a while, and stretched out his hand to touch the snowflake, but the eaves blocked it, and his fingers could only slide across the cold air.

"If you want to see it, go out and have a look, You Zhi." Shao Jing called Zhang Shengde, Zhang Shengde came in with a black fox fur cloak, Shao Jing took it from someone else, put it on for Chu Si, and then handed it to him carefully Fasten.

"Your Majesty has defeated the evil minister..." Chu Si hurriedly stopped Shao Jing in a hurry and shame.

But Shao Jing said: "You Zhi, today, don't treat me as the emperor." Chu Si hates Shao Jing's softness the most, and now he is the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, but his speech and attitude are still the same as before. He couldn't help feeling distressed at what he said just now, so he acquiesced in his actions.

The knot had been tied while speaking, and the orange lining showed that Chu Si's complexion was much better.Zhang Shengde hurried forward to put a cloak on Shao Jing.

"Come." After Shao Jing said, he turned and walked out of the palace gate, but Chu Si couldn't stop him, so he had to go out behind him.

Unexpectedly, when he got outside, Chu Si ran in front of Shao Jing in two quick steps. He stepped on the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, but he couldn't help but feel joyful in his heart.I had a few drinks just now, my whole body was full of qi and blood, and I didn't feel cold, so I suddenly became playful, squatted down and made a snowball.

"Heng Yao——" Chu Si held the snowball in his hand, proud of it for a moment, stood up and called Shao Jing's small characters directly. Shao Jing saw that his face was flushed and his hands were dancing, so he knew he was a little drunk, and wanted to come over to help him I was afraid that he would lose his center of gravity and fall somersault, when suddenly a snowball hit him, hitting the front door.

For a moment, the palace people inside and outside were stunned.Immediately afterwards, they all knelt on the ground, Zhang Shengde saw that the situation was not good, he dismissed all the people outside the hall, and hurried to Shao Jing to get a handkerchief to clean Shao Jing's face.

Chu Si was also stunned. Most of the wine sobered up, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop: "The emperor forgives the sin! The minister's disrespect in front of the palace offended His Majesty, please forgive him!"

But Shao Jing hurriedly pulled him up: "I'm not offending you, how can you kneel down so smoothly by yourself?" After Zhang Shengde wiped off the snow on his face, he continued: "Under the whole world, only You Zhi dares to rush to the Son of Heaven. Snowballed in the face."

"Your Majesty..." Chu Si was very embarrassed and lowered his head. Seeing him like this, Shao Jing became more and more itchy, and he could no longer suppress his desire to move from the first time he saw this person again. He left When he came to Chu Si, he hugged him in his arms: "You Zhi..."

But Chu Si couldn't push him away, he just said: "Your Majesty, you, let go..."

"You Zhi, if you really hate it, just push me away, I won't force you." Shao Jing said, still hugging Chu Si tightly and didn't let go.

Chu Si nestled in Shao Jing's arms, his arms couldn't use any strength, he couldn't bear to push this man away, his eyes gradually filled with tears: "Heng Yao..."

After so many years, Shao Jing was implicated by those dirty things back then, and he escaped after being pardoned by the grace of heaven, and Shao Jing was also deprived of the crown prince.Now Shaojing has a prince, has become the emperor, and has become the lord of the world.Chu Si thought that Shao Jing, who was absurd when he was young, might have forgotten it long ago, and he only called him back because he was afraid that outsiders would criticize the emperor for treating his old ministers harshly.Before Chu Si came to Beijing, he thought that he still made some mistakes, and let Shao Jing find an excuse to send him down, so as to save the two of them from embarrassment.After all, as an official in the court, even if the emperor doesn't watch, the officials below will still watch closely. Although the official Taifu has no real power, he is still a first-rank post after all. How many people are as hot-eyed as tigers and wolves.

But after hearing what Shao Jing said just now, Chu Si realized that Shao Jing was still thinking of those friendships, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Feeling the sobs of the person in his arms, Shao Jing hurriedly comforted him: "You Zhi, go into the house, and be careful of getting your face outside." After saying that, he picked up the person and walked into the house without waiting for Chu Si to respond.

Being hugged by Shao Jing twice in one day, Chu Si really felt that he was ashamed to see others.

Fortunately, Shao Jing took care of his status and didn't let many people to serve him, most of them were done by Zhang Shengde himself.Since Zhang Shengde was promoted to chief eunuch, he hasn't done such trivial things for some days.Although it is the duty of slaves to serve their masters, Zhang Shengde is not his own slave, and he is busy around himself... Chu Si was thinking about something in his mind, but he ignored Shao Jing in front of him.

"What are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Shao Jing put him down, and sent someone to wait for Chu Si to remove his coat and shoes.

"I miss Eunuch Zhang..." Chu Si replied subconsciously, and only after he said the words did he secretly think it was bad.

"What do you want him for?" Shao Jing glanced at Zhang Shengde who was standing beside him, Zhang Shengde was in a cold sweat, thinking to himself, Mr. Chu, our family didn't recruit you, didn't provoke you, what do you want me for?I, an old eunuch, have something worth thinking about, ouch!

Chu Si hurriedly said: "No, no, it has nothing to do with Eunuch Zhang. I just thought that I have worked hard for Eunuch Zhang this time, and I have been so busy..."

Shaojing snorted coldly: "Aren't slaves just serving people? You really care about him."

"It's our family's blessing to serve the emperor and Master Chu, and the slaves don't feel hard work." Zhang Shengde quickly knelt down and said.

"Did you hear that, You Zhi?" Shao Jing waved his hand to let Zhang Shengde lead the people down, "Don't keep thinking about those unnecessary things."

Chu Si sighed and said, "Heng Yao, what did I tell you that day? Treat the servants kindly, don't underestimate them..." After speaking halfway, he suddenly realized that this person in front of him was not the fifth person who read the handout with him that day. His Highness, but the Emperor, quickly changed his words: "The minister has surpassed."

"You Zhi, I like it when you talk like this," Shao Jing sighed, "You make me feel that I still live in this world, not just a machine that critiques papers."
