[Qing Chuan] Mu Emperor's Grace

The Queen Mother stared at He Shen blankly, as if she didn't realize what he said, and even Bao Qian was surprised.

The air in the room seemed to freeze, and no one spoke for a while.After a long while, she finally found her words: "He Shen, you really..."

The queen mother paused, but couldn't find a suitable adjective, saying that he was arrogant, while He Shen's attitude was very humble, saying that he was presumptuous, but they were not entirely right.

Since ancient times, there have been countless people who respect and be loyal to the emperor, but He Shen is probably No. 1 when it comes to protecting and loving the emperor. Rao, the Queen Mother has lived such an old age, and she has never heard such shocking words.

"My slave begs the Queen Mother, don't let this slave swear such a poisonous oath again. If there are rumors that slander the emperor because of this slave in the future, this slave will never let the emperor become a target of public criticism."

The queen mother snorted coldly: "You speak lightly, even if you can speak well, how can you stop the people of the world from talking?"

He Shen frowned and said: "If there is a day, everything is the slave's fault..." Looking at the cold face of the Queen Mother, He Shen said resolutely: "I am the one who caused the chaos, and I am the one who confused the emperor. It's me too, you're right, a slave's mouth can't argue with the people of the world, but the blood of a slave can wash away people's doubts about the emperor."

The Empress Dowager stared at He Shen's resolute expression, lost her voice for a moment, and heard the door being pushed open with a "squeak". Confused, could it be that I am a fool, when will it be your turn to make a decision?"

Seeing Hongli barging in recklessly, the queen mother obviously listened to what He Shen said, so she knew it was useless to say more.She looked at the panic-stricken emperor and didn't say anything else. She just raised her hand to let Baoyan help her to lie down, and lay facing the wall, instead of looking at the two people who were stalemate behind her.

He Shen was indeed taken aback by Hongli's sudden push of the door, and heard Hongli's words full of protection, his heart was filled with sorrow and joy, and the expression on his face was very tangled.

Hongli slowly stretched out his hand to him, helped the young man who was still kneeling on the ground up, Fu glanced at Baoxiang again, saw her nodding in understanding, and then led Heshen away with confidence.

It wasn't until the sound of closing the door that the footsteps of the two gradually became quieter, and the queen mother coughed twice, and said softly: "Xu is Ai's family is really old. After living for so many years, no one has ever said such a thing. It is said that the Ai family loves to listen to operas, and it is often sung in the operas. You plow the fields and I weave, and you carry water and I water the gardens. Ordinary couples have supported each other in this way, but this is a family in Tianjia. It's a joke, the Ai family asked themselves that after serving the late emperor for so many years, they have a sense of awe, but no love."

Baoyan seemed to understand but half understood, and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

The queen mother sighed softly: "Bao Qian, maybe we are all wrong. In the past, the Ai family always complained about the late emperor, and only had concubine Nian in their hearts. The concubine Nian made food for the late emperor by herself in the small kitchen every day. The Ai family also dismissed it." , I always feel that she is changing ways to invite favor from the first emperor, but no matter whether Concubine Nian is sincere or false, this kind of intention is exactly what the first emperor needs. Even if the emperor is a real dragon emperor, he is first of all a person, with emotions, joys and anger Sorrows and joys, he will also be hurt, will be sad, and need comfort."

Bao Cang tucked the quilt up for the Queen Mother and listened carefully.

"What makes Heshen most rare to the emperor is his heart to share the wind and rain. It is a blessing for the emperor to meet him."

The Queen Mother's voice became smaller and smaller, once the tense nerves relaxed, she soon fell asleep, and Baoyu carefully assisted the Queen Mother, feeling peaceful, as if the dispute just now was just a dream.

On the other side, He Shen was led by Hongli and came to the courtyard. Hongli frowned and looked at the injury on the young man's forehead, and raised his hand to rub it for him, but he was afraid of hurting him, so in the end he just used his sleeve to rub it. , Wipe the ashes off his face for him.

"Are you terrified..." Hongli said warmly, "Come with me, and treat the wound first..."

Even though the weather was very cold, He Shen's cheeks were burning hot, as if he was being caught in public for a secret confession.The defense that had been built up with great difficulty fell apart under the Queen Mother's words, and now even the hole cards are completely seen by people.

He unconsciously dodged Hongli's gaze, always feeling that Hongli's eyes could see through his thoughts.

It wasn't until Hongli stopped, and He Shen looked up, that he realized that he had been taken to the other garden where the emperor stayed, and the hands between the two never let go, and I don't know how many people looked at them along the way.

He Shen took a peek at Hongli and saw that his expression was as usual, as if this was a perfectly natural thing. The young man smiled secretly. It turned out that the so-called resistance between the two was just his own unilateral hesitation, and he didn't know that it was the emperor's usual behavior. It was because of his style of acting, or because of Hongli's temperament of distinguishing between love and hate. At this moment, He Shen realized that maybe Hongli had never hidden his thoughts.

Thinking of the queen mother's will just now, He Shen was afraid for a while. If he really agreed to the queen mother's request, he vowed to continue the ambiguity endlessly. How sad it would be for Hongli to hear from outside the door that he couldn't even give each other a passionate hug.

He Shen was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard Hongli's puzzled question: "Why are you still in a daze, come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Only then did the young man come back to his senses, as soon as he walked into the warm room, he was sat down on the soft couch by Hongli. Hongli rummaged through to find the wound medicine with ease.

Hongli didn't know why and asked, "You looked so full of worries just now, how come you suddenly became happy?"

Now that the emperor spotted it, He Shen simply laughed wantonly: "Look at this slave... This white jade pot looks familiar, and there is one at my slave's place."

Hongli was stunned, and in an instant he remembered the bottle of wound medicine he had entrusted to Hai Lancha, and touched his nose in embarrassment for a while, and when He Shen saw this, the smile on his face became wider and wider.

Hongli lowered his head and dug out the plaster from the jar, and poked He Shen's forehead vigorously: "You still laugh when you are hurt, don't you know it hurts?"

He Shen was poked to the sore spot by him, couldn't hold back an "ouch", and pitifully avoided Hongli's hand: "Don't poke, it hurts..."

Hongli glanced at him, and jokingly said: "Now I know it hurts, why didn't I know it hurt when I kowtowed to the ground just now?"

He Shen Mingming heard Hongli's question, but lowered his head and pretended to be dead, his eyes stared intently at the ground as if he had discovered a treasure.

Hongli was afraid that he would hide again, so he could only hold the back of He Shen's head with his hands to prevent the young man from moving around.He Shen was forced to raise his head, and accidentally met Hongli's eyes.The emperor didn't hear the answer he wanted, so he asked persistently, "Why didn't you obey the Queen Mother's edict?"

Hongli's strength was enormous, and He Shen was pinned down by him, so he could only stare at him. A smile appeared on the young man's lips: "Did the emperor come to inquire about the slave's crime?"

Hongli didn't answer, but just stared into He Shen's eyes, and asked persistently: "Answer me, why didn't you swear in front of the Queen Mother, why?"

He Shen was flustered by his sight, and he looked away without a trace, staring at the void and hesitatingly said: "The emperor... is outside the door, didn't you hear it?"

Hongli's eyes seemed like a volcano that was about to erupt, and there was a long-hidden feeling in it. He said in a hoarse voice, "I... want to hear from you..."

He Shen's eyes wandered around, and he felt his heart beat a lot faster for no reason, and accidentally collided with Hongli's sight, and the eagerness in the emperor's eyes almost burned him.

Once upon a time, I was determined to keep a distance from the emperor and return to their respective positions, but my reason could control my thoughts, but I couldn't tie my heart. If it wasn't for the Queen Mother who left him alone, it was half an explanation and half a coercion. With such words, perhaps he will be a servant in peace from now on.

He Shen looked at Hongli's face. At this moment, his figure was reflected in the emperor's eyes. Although he was a little small, embarrassed and funny, at least he was the one in Hongli's eyes.

Can I understand your confession as your honesty to me?He Shen asked in his heart.

Hongli waited for a long time, but the young man just looked at him and didn't answer. He gradually became a little impatient, and it was obvious that the answer was ready to come out, but He Shen kept hiding. became uncertain.

The flames in Hongli's eyes became smaller and smaller, and there was an inexplicable hint of frustration. He said softly, "Say it again... I want to hear you say it again..."

When Heshen was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Hongli's words, and his hesitant heart was instantly supported. He finally smiled and said: "I will only say this once, the emperor listens carefully, I... miss the emperor, I can't help myself... Whatever mood the emperor feels, so do I."

After waiting for a long time, it took a long time to get the answer. When He Shen said the first word, Hongli was overwhelmed by great joy.

His He Shen finally came back.

For the first time in his life, Hongli had the urge to cry because of a word. He reached out and rubbed his sore eye sockets, but accidentally rubbed the cool ointment into his eyes, and the spicy feeling permeated the ointment. He burst into tears.

He Shen was taken aback, and when he realized it, he laughed uncontrollably. The ambiguous atmosphere disappeared. Seeing Hongli wanted to reach out to touch his eyes again, He Shen quickly grabbed him, and softly comforted him. : "Don't knead any more, just blow it and it will be fine."

As he said that, he leaned forward and carefully blew into Hongli's red and tearful eyes.

Looking closer, I found that Hongli's slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, fragile and nimble.Until Hongli regained his strength, He Shen was still staring intently at the emperor's eyelashes. When Hongli opened his eyes, what he saw were He Shen's dark eyes, and the two leaned close to each other.

At the same moment, He Shen also noticed that Hongli had opened his eyes. He coughed lightly and opened the distance between them without any trace.

As soon as he moved, Hongli also looked away, picked up the ointment on the side and put it on Heshen again.

Hongli wanted to rub the red, swollen and bruised blood away for Heshen, and his subordinates used a lot of energy. Heshen was afraid of pain, so he dodged left and right for a while. It will get better quickly, and you don't want to be surrounded by people with a big painted face."

He Shen didn't move anymore, but his mouth was still restless. Before Hongli could use any force, he had already yelled. He secretly opened his closed eyes to observe Hongli's expression.

As long as the young people pass that hurdle, the restraint and self-restraint of the past will disappear. The intimacy naturally revealed during the period makes Hongli very useful. He Shen was so surprised that the soft touch pressed against his lips.

The young man whose lips were sealed with a kiss fell silent, but opened his eyes in surprise. He didn't expect Hongli to move suddenly, as if he was waiting for him to adapt, Hongli just pressed his lips, He rubbed lightly, but made no further movements.

He Shen's two lifetimes combined, the experience of kissing is pitiful, the moment Hongli's lips were attached, his brain stopped functioning, and for some reason, Hongli only moved lightly like this, and the young man subconsciously The ground's lips parted slightly, and Hongli's tongue slipped into the young man's mouth. Before the young man could react, the two had already intertwined.

When Hongli finally let go with satisfaction, He Shen's lips were slightly swollen, and his slightly panting appearance was even more mouth-watering.

He Shen covered his lips, his face was reddish: "Your Majesty... what are you doing?"

Hongli calmly picked up the medicine and continued to rub it on He Shen's forehead, and said with a soft smile, "Seeing that you are in severe pain, I will find a way to relieve the pain for you."

He Shen was full of words in his throat, and he could only lower his eyes justifiably when he heard the words, and then he endured the pain no matter how painful it was, and never yelled again.

With the young man's cooperation, it became easier to apply the medicine. Seeing the young man gritted his teeth in pain, Hongli took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and said with a smile: "Bite this when it hurts, don't put yourself Bitten."

After a lot of tossing around like this, he finally took care of the wound. Hongli wrapped the wound tightly for He Shen, and after making sure that the wound was no longer oozing blood, he said softly: "I am the happiest during these days on the east tour. He Shen Shen...no one has ever said such a thing to me, and no one can treat me like an ordinary person like you..."

Listening to these words, He Shen's face softened and his smile deepened. He raised his eyes to look at Hongli, and his bright eyes signaled Hongli to continue talking.

"I... don't know what kind of emotion this is. I am happy when you are happy, and I am reluctant to punish you for making mistakes. I feel even more uncomfortable when you are sad..." Hongli's tone became more and more urgent: "I have never felt this way before. I want to hide you from anyone to see, but I want to tell the world that you should stand by my side..."

Hongli grabbed He Shen's hand violently: "Today I stand in front of the Empress Dowager's room, leaning against the wall like a gentleman on a beam to listen to you. I don't want to recall what it was like..." Hongli panicked She looked at the person in front of her with serious eyes: "I'm afraid...the Queen Mother will take you..."

He Shen raised his hand and stroked Hongli's back gently. Under such comfort, Hongli slowly calmed down, but his tone was still full of fear: "I'm thinking, you haven't forgiven me yet, Will you agree to the queen mother's request, but what can you do if you don't agree...I never knew that in a short period of time, there can be so many terrible thoughts..."

The young man caressed Hongli's frowning brow, interrupting the emperor's uneasy memories, and He Shen slid over little by little, as if trying to calm Hongli's worries.

If Hongli didn't say it, he might never understand what kind of suffering Hongli, who seems to be outside the situation, endured outside the door...

"The emperor...it's over...it's all over..." He Shen leaned forward and hugged Hongli tightly: "Do you feel it, I'm here, the emperor can hug me and touch me." The young man picked up Hongli's hand and touched his face with his hand. Hongli felt the wetness in his palm and said in astonishment: "Why are you crying...don't cry...I didn't mean to make you cry... ..."

This time, He Shen didn't make Hongli talk anymore, he hit Hongli's lips forcefully, but accidentally touched his teeth, the pain made the young man flinch, Hongli seemed to feel that he let go of He Shen , seeing the young man cover his mouth subconsciously, he couldn't help saying happily: "There is no such thing as you, I will teach you..."

Hongli is definitely a patient mentor. He guides He Shen's lips and teeth, deepening them bit by bit, exchanging each other's breath, but He Shen is not reconciled to being a student with no achievements, so he starts to wrap around Hongli's lips and teeth. , chasing the dexterous tongue, as if determined to impress Hongli.

The two energetic people confirmed each other's intentions with their lips and teeth. When the two were finally willing to separate, their breaths were a little unstable. He Shen only felt dizzy in his head, and the youth was confused. Jianzheng was thinking: Could this be the sequelae of kissing?The next moment, he felt the emperor's lips imprinted on his forehead wrapped in cloth.

"He Shen... I also like you..." He Shen used an active kiss in exchange for a confession from the emperor.

The young man only felt dizzy even more, but he still remembered one thing in a daze, he said slowly: "Shen... He..."

Hongli didn't hear clearly for a moment, he hugged him tighter and whispered, "What did you say?"

He Shen took a deep breath and said seriously, "My real name... is Shen He..."

Hongli was stunned, and heard He Shen say again: "I don't want the emperor to still call other people's names when he expresses his heart."

Hongli laughed softly, and he spread his palms in front of the young man: "Write it to me...which two words are it?"

He Shen used his hand as a pen, and wrote stroke by stroke in Hongli's palm.

"Shen... He..." Hongli smiled: "I remember, Shen He, I am pleased with you..."

I haven't heard this name for a long time, but when I suddenly heard the word "Shen He" pronounced so solemnly, the young man was not used to it for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

He cleverly changed the subject to cover up his embarrassment at that moment: "Speaking of which, the word "Shen He" just reversed He Shen, maybe this is fate...Somewhere, God is destined to meet you." Let me meet the emperor..."

Hongli grasped He Shen's hand that had not yet arrived, stroked his fingers, and said softly, "It's okay, you're here..."

"I understand, you are the biggest variable in my life..." Hongli added silently in his heart.

Like all people who are in love, the two feel that each other's eyes and actions can make their hearts tremble.Hongli was reading a book on the throne, but he couldn't concentrate at all. He always looked up at the young man for a long time, or accidentally discovered that He Shen was also secretly looking at him.

In the end, He Shen coughed lightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty... the time has come, do you want someone to pass the meal?" Just as he was speaking, He Shen's stomach growled softly.

Looking at his flushed face, Hongli felt that he was in a particularly good mood: "Since Aiqing is hungry, let's pass it on..."

He Shen gritted his teeth and glared at him, then got up to prepare a meal for Hongli.

After all the dishes were served, Hongli looked around for a week, saw the duck soup in the middle of the table, frowned and said, "Why is there a duck? You can't stand it in your body?"

He Shen smiled and said: "This longevity duck soup is a famous dish of the Confucian Mansion. I was lucky enough to taste it. It is made of duck breast, ham, winter bamboo shoots, and eggs. It is delicious..." He Shen said for Hongli took a piece.

Hongli took a sip suspiciously. The duck meat was fragrant and delicious, and the custard was so tender that it would make people bite their tongues off. Even though Hongli had tasted so many delicacies, he couldn't help but praise: "Delicious..."

As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw He Shen staring at the duck soup with a pitiful expression on his face. Hongli handed a spoonful of emerald shrimps to He Shen: "Try this..."

Shrimp sautéed with pepper and served with fresh and refreshing cucumber, He Shen squinted his eyes in enjoyment, like a satisfied cat, Hongli saw that he had coaxed him well before he began to eat his own, but the plate of duck soup was I haven't touched it again.

Every time He Shen served the emperor's meals, he would get a bunch of food bestowed by the emperor, and this time was no exception. Many of the imperial meals ended up in He Shen's stomach. At the end, He Shen patted his stomach and looked at the table The results of the two people's joint efforts made them happy.

When he caught sight of the almost untouched duck soup with longevity character on the table, the smile on his face gradually faded away.Hongli didn't care about appreciating the delicious food. He was all focused on He Shen. The emperor had never discovered that a person's every move could attract so many people's eyes, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Just as he was getting excited, he suddenly noticed that He Shen had suppressed his smile. He followed He Shen's gaze and saw the word "Shou" carefully crafted on the duck soup, and his face gradually became serious.

He Shen said softly: "Your Majesty... the empress dowager, she will definitely get better, just like the birthday character on it, she will be consummated."

Hongli squeezed out a smile at him, and then said: "That's right, this is a good omen..." As he said this, his mind was already far away: "He Shen, I will lead you away today In short, leaving the queen mother in the room, even though there is a treasure to take care of her, but I... still don't feel at ease..."

He Shen said with a slight smile: "I understand...it's getting late, your majesty, hurry up and see the empress dowager..." He Shen handed over the handkerchief to Hongli to wipe his hands, and then carefully arranged his clothes, Only then did he walk out of the other garden with Hongli.

On the forked road, Hongli put on the cloak for He Shen, and said with a warm smile, "Go back..." When He Shen turned around, he pointed to his forehead again: "Remember not to touch the wound with water..."
