[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

In just eight words, Hongli could smell the meaning of grievance.At this moment, He Shen is a little depressed, and the edges and corners that often popped up in the past seem to have disappeared. He no longer argues with Hongli like he did at the beginning.Sitting in the position of the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he finally learned to fight silently.

The more silent He Shen was, the more disturbed Hongli became.He began to recall Heshen's experience as an official in this life: when he was a servant of the Imperial Academy, he had no real power in his hands, and he was always dangling under the eyes of the emperor, so the chance of being greedy for ink was greatly reduced; the current head of the House of Internal Affairs took office for less than half a year However, although the errands on the east tour were lucrative, it was enough for He Shen to be busy. What's more, He Shen followed Hongli along the way. Even if he had that greedy mind, Hongli was sure to kill it.

Accusing He Shen in this life of being a big ink-corrupter is really wronging him.Hongli calmed down and figured it out. Looking at He Shen's pale face, he regretted his indiscriminate words even more.

"Heshen... I was the one who was impulsive just now, but this kind of tip-off must not happen again in the future. If we are discovered again in the future, I will not tolerate it." Hongli's tone softened.

He Shen was taken aback when he heard the words, it was like this again.Every time Hongli gets angry, it's always thunderous and rainy, and he can make the uncompromising emperor take the lead in making concessions, and he is probably really the No.1 in the whole court.Thinking of this, He Shen's original complicated mood was inexplicably added a hint of joy.

"The servant respectfully obeys the holy edict." He Shen's face gradually warmed up, and the atmosphere of tension disappeared.

Although Shi Gege left the space for the two of them, he did not go far away, but secretly hid in the dark and watched the movement in the pavilion.Seeing that Heshen followed Hongli down the pavilion, he saw the opportunity and jumped out.

"Huang Ama, isn't there any good place to go in Zhuozhou? I stay in the palace all day and play chess with that stinky chess basket of brother fifteen. I'm almost bored to death." The tenth princess looked at Hongli listlessly. My thoughts had already flown outside the palace wall.

He Shen laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this slave has a way to relieve the princess' boredom, but I don't know if the Emperor should agree or not?"

Hearing what he said, Hongli was also aroused: "Let's listen."

"From my point of view, instead of spending time with Chen Xincheng in this palace and following a large group of guards wherever I go, it would be more interesting to travel in micro-clothes."

Shi Gege's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea, let's go out in disguise, just in time to see the customs and customs of Zhuozhou."

Hongli thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "As long as you have a lot of tricks, I will follow you once."

Hongli and his party of five changed into the clothes of ordinary rich and noble families, took some silver taels, packed lightly and left the gate of the palace, took the carriage prepared by Heshen, and went to the market in Liuheying.

When there was still a distance from the market, everyone got out of the carriage and walked and watched along the way.The bazaar is bustling with department stores, and the most merchants sell cattle and sheep and other livestock and agricultural tools. In addition, there are also daily necessities and pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

Speaking of it, He Shen, like everyone else, saw the market in the Qing Dynasty for the first time: Qianlong was prosperous, and the products were abundant, which can be seen in the market.

Everyone was walking when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the front.Shi GeGe is like an excited deer at the moment, he is about to plunge into the crowd, he almost let go of Yong Yan's hand.

Everyone had no choice but to follow. It turned out that there was a simple stage set up in the crowd.Folk artists on the stage are playing "Ten No Idle" to attract spectators, and the gongs and cymbals rang rhythmically for a while.Mobilize the interest of the onlookers before seeing one person on stage.From the appearance of that person, one could see that he was a disciple of a local theater troupe, who made a living only by performing on the streets.

This time he performed the single-mouthed lotus fall: "Everyone in the audience listened to me, but said that the birth of the eight-min land is handsome and beautiful than Pan An. An ordinary man, Hu Tianbao, has evil thoughts and daring. Patrolling to relieve lovesickness. When things failed, people interrogated and tortured and went to hell. When the soul returned to the underworld overnight, the ghosts of the underworld sent pity on his idiot. The Lord of the Underworld sent a message, and he named you the "Rabbit God" and specially protected you. Pleasant thing."

Today's single-mouthed lotus flower is about a folk anecdote.It is said that in the Fujian area, there was an official who looked better than Pan An.A local guy named Hu Tianbao fell in love with the official at first sight.I often followed that person to various places on business, and was finally discovered one day.Under torture and questioning, the young man confided his sincerity to the officials.Unexpectedly, the official became furious and killed him.Hu Tianbao's soul returned to the underworld, and Lord Yan took pity on his infatuation, so he named him the "Rabbit God" to protect the happiness of the two men in the world.

When Shi Geer heard that Hu Tianbao was about to be killed at the critical moment, he stomped his feet anxiously: "It's too much, why did the official do this? He just expressed his love, and he wanted to put him to death."

Hongli watched in silence for a moment, then suddenly asked: "What do you think of the two men's happiness?"

Shi Ge'er responded first: "I think love in the world is a common principle, no matter men or women, as long as they give each other their sincerity, they will be equally touching."

Yongzhen laughed and said: "You are a big kid, how do you understand love? I think that Hu Tianbao's actions are really contemptible. The official obviously doesn't love him, but he wants to stalk him, annoying, and he provoked it by himself." Misfortune, you can't blame others."

When He Shen was talking in Yongzheng, he secretly glanced at Hongli, and Hongli's lips were tightly pursed and stretched into a straight line.

"Yongyan, tell me." Hongli cast his eyes on Yongyan who had been silent all this time.

"My son... I think it is against the laws of nature and the laws of the ancestors that a man falls in love. Hu Tianbao's fate is purely his own fault."

Hongli sighed and didn't ask Heshen's opinion any more, just said softly: "Let's go...it's too noisy here, find a quiet place."

But He Shen suddenly said: "I... have a few words, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Hongli frowned and waved his hand: "Go ahead."

He Shen said slowly: "I think the difference between the love between men and men and the love between men and women lies in the gender, and the essence of love is the same. Therefore, Hu Tianbao's feelings for that official are really touching and sincere. He followed that official This official is not young, and I think he is very persistent after enduring the loneliness without responding. The world casts strange eyes on him, but he can follow his own heart. I think he is very brave."

Hongli raised his head when he heard the words, and looked at Heshen with surprise on his face.The sudden burst of joy in the depths of a pair of eyes made He Shen look at him with the urge to cry.

"You... really think so?" Hongli's voice trembled subconsciously.

He Shen looked directly into Hongli's eyes, nodded and said, "Yes."

In this noisy small world, covered by various voices, the ambiguous atmosphere between the two was diluted a little.

After listening to He Shen's words, Shi Gege clapped his hands and laughed, "He Shen, you really are a man of temperament. This Hu Tianbao is indeed persistent and brave. I will definitely marry someone I really like in the future."

Hongli came back to his senses, a slight smile appeared on his lips: "He Shen, don't teach me badly."

Shi Gege stuck out his tongue playfully, and the group continued to move forward until a roar came from He Shen's belly.

Hongli, who was walking beside him, glanced at him with a smile: "Hungry?"

He Shen said bluntly: "I'm really hungry. There is a Zuixianlou in front of me. I wonder if the prince would like to treat you?"

Seeing him looking at him with clear eyes, Hongli was in a good mood immediately, and said softly: "Let's go." He went to the restaurant first.

As soon as you enter the door, the aroma of the dishes hits your nostrils.It was meal time at the moment, and the lobby was almost full of seats. The sound of the clashing of dishes and chopsticks, and the sound of chatting after dinner made the whole restaurant extremely lively.

When the waiter saw Hongli entering, he looked him up and down as soon as he rolled his eyes.Seeing his luxurious attire, his tone immediately warmed up: "Masters, do you want a lobby or a private room?"

He Shen smiled and said, "Prepare a private room facing the outer street."

Xiao Er responded cheerfully: "Okay, gentlemen please come upstairs."

The private room upstairs was much cleaner than the lobby. He Shen wiped Hongli's chair with his sleeve before letting him sit down.When they were all seated, the shop waiter poured water and asked, "Listen to the accents of the masters, aren't they locals?"

"To be honest, we came from the capital, and we passed by here, what can I introduce you?" He Shen took the conversation.

"It turned out to be a distinguished guest from the capital city. The most famous dishes here are pot-wrapped elbows, fish with tiles in sauce, and our signature roast duck..." Xiao Er gave the names of the dishes.

He Shen listened carefully for a while, then tilted his head and said warmly: "There are dishes that the prince should not eat."

Hongli shook his head, and everyone had no objection, so He Shen ordered: "Just order the dishes you just reported."

Xiao Er happily left, but He Shen felt a gaze cast on him.Turning his head to look, Hongli looked at him with complex and unspeakable eyes, which seemed to be puzzled, mixed with hesitation and suspicion.

Seeing Heshen looking over, Hongli suddenly asked, "You just...but ordered roast duck?"

He Shen nodded: "Does the prince have any taboos?"

As soon as the words fell, Hongli's face became very strange, and He Shen couldn't understand why.

When the dishes were served, every time He Shen stretched his chopsticks towards the roasted duck on the plate, he felt Hongli's burning eyes fixed on his hand, as if he wanted to snatch the chopsticks from his hand.

He Shen touched his nose, picked up a piece of duck meat with his serving chopsticks, and put it into Hongli's bowl: "Your Majesty... have a taste."

Hongli looked at the golden-yellow and full-sauce duck meat in the bowl, and carefully put it into his mouth. The crispy outside and tender inside made his slightly wrinkled brows relax.

Over there, Xiang Yongzhen smiled and said: "I never thought that this small Zhuozhou hides such delicious food, even compared to the meals in the palace, it is not inferior."

Seeing that Hongli was eating, He Shen put his chopsticks on the plate of roast duck again, but Hongli's gaze followed closely behind him.He Shen gritted his teeth and clamped a piece against that gaze.As soon as the roasted duck entered his mouth, the rich aroma of the sauce made him temporarily forget Hongli's gaze.

Hongli watched He Shen sitting beside him, eating without any scruples, and this experience made him feel very novel.In the past, he was the one who ate, and others watched. Even in his previous life, He Shen stood aside respectfully and waited on him during his southern tour.He has long been used to facing a large table of sumptuous dishes alone, but he has never felt that eating is such an interesting thing like now.

Just thinking about it, He Shen couldn't help hiccupping.Compared with Hongli's elegant eating, He Shen's eating method is simply a whirlwind.

Seeing Hongli looking over, He Shen curled his lips.Not thinking about the next second, Hongli raised his finger to the corner of his mouth, took out a bright yellow handkerchief from his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Wipe."
