half life slave

The starry night is bright, and there are fireworks blooming above his head from time to time. His body is full of gorgeous colors, his temples are cut like knives, his facial features are carved like engravings, and there seems to be a faint smile between his brows and eyes, but he can't hide his sharpness and sharpness.

But why did he appear?Shouldn't he be accompanying the queen at the Jiaotai Palace at this time? On such an important day as the Lantern Festival, he sneaked out without him, and came to look for him again?Is it true that there are not enough misunderstandings between them?

Rong Yu blocked the door and raised his hand, "If the emperor has any orders, just let the minister know. It's cold in the night, don't stay outside for too long, the minister will send the emperor back first."

The posture is reasonable and restrained, and it is obvious that he rejects people thousands of miles away.Shen Hui frowned slightly, "I can't sleep, so I came to talk to you, and you left me outside?"

It's freezing cold, that's what he said just now.The majestic Ninth Five-Year Supreme, who condescended to come to see him, was blocked out of the door just like this.

Shen Hui asked himself if he wasn't some good-natured and patient master. He tilted his head and thought about it.

Rong Yu was always unwilling to be reconciled by his general, and still leaned forward and said, "It's getting late, if the emperor can't sleep, I will ask someone to prepare some soothing soup to serve the emperor. This place is very rough, the emperor should not be noble. Step on the ground."

It is rare that the king of a country is rejected like this. Shen Hui still doesn't feel angry. You can change the taste in your mouth, it's not that you want to refuse or welcome, but there is a different kind of forbearance and self-restraint.

Shen Hui smiled, "Is it the king of the world, you have forgotten all this? I can't go anywhere, who can stop me?"

After finishing speaking, he ignored him, lightly brushed him away, and stepped into the room.

Rong Yu took a deep breath, feeling sorry for being defeated again, closed the door, stood where he was, with an attitude of doing everything personally but keeping his duty, and looked at the ground indifferently.

Look at this posture, it is more cramped than the first time he came to see him, Shen Hui looked around, this room is much bigger than the small room in the past, after all, he is the highest-ranked eunuch in the inner court. The speed should also be more particular, but people, there is no more kindness and warmth after the slight astonishment.

Shen Hui sat down alone, thinking about what to say next.In fact, he came to apologize, for what happened that night, and for Qin Ruozhen's wanton insult to him, but he was not sure how to word it.

The young emperor has only spoken soft words to his father in his life. Although he has encountered countervailing forces in the court, he will not spread it out on the bright side. No one dares to question him face to face, so why should he express his apology?As time passed, he felt that he had forgotten all the gentle and soft tone.

However, facing this person, his heart is soft, and he is even willing to pick up those forgotten emotions. He can't remember the reason, and he can't explain the reason, maybe it's just for the pain and undercurrent at a certain moment.

"Don't take what the queen said that day to heart. I have always trusted you. You worked for me in the previous court, and it was inevitable that you would offend Qin Taiyue. In the inner court, it is reasonable for the queen to deliberately target you. Her father meant to vent his anger. As a woman, it is inevitable that you are narrow-minded, so I will persuade her later."

He showed enough sincerity, and sure enough, the alienated and calm person was slightly moved.

There was a little panic in Rong Yu's eyes, he never expected that he came to apologize.He is just a courtier and a so-called domestic slave, let alone insulting the queen, even if he kills him, it will only attract a harsh and tyrannical comment from the imperial servant.

All I can do is to be patient and leave.But who knew that Shen Huihui would have such an attitude, and he didn't know that this was already the ultimate that an emperor could do.

Should I be grateful to Dade?He has never been a caring person, and he dare not say that he doesn't care about personal honor or disgrace, but he also knows that some things are too serious to be self-suffering.If he wanted to live and live comfortably, he should not care about what other people think. It is absolutely impossible to please everyone. He has neither the ability nor the interest.

With a slight smile, he responded generously, "I dare not hold grudges, let alone blame the queen. The empress is pregnant and waiting to give birth, so it is easy to be irritable. If I offend the empress, the emperor will not pursue it. I am grateful and will definitely do it." When you know how to repay your kindness."

In this way, he should be satisfied. He has expressed his position, and he is willing to be honest no matter what. If he says he is loyal to the emperor, he will be loyal to the end. Lin Ronghe is a man in his bones.

Shen Hui's heart tightened, his attitude was too calm, and there was a sense of detachment in his calmness, rather than saying he didn't mind, it would be better to say that he really didn't care.Could it be that after cultivating him carefully for so long, he still failed to impress him with privilege, honor, prestige, and even magnanimity?He is still the indifferent and restrained person who has no desires or desires.

Give him power, he can use it very well, there is nothing wrong with his ability to handle things, his nature is smart and transparent, his mind is stable and mature, and he has a good sense of the overall situation. The most rare thing is that he has no ambition and is wholeheartedly loyal to himself.

He has tried so many times, and he is sure enough about this matter.If he didn't even have this little knowledge of people, he wouldn't have to sit in the emperor's position.

Now, the painstaking efforts have paid off, and this person has gradually restrained his only obvious shortcoming - soft heart, but everything has a price, and he has become more and more calm, almost a little indifferent.It's not that he doesn't know how aggrieved he was in the inner court, even if he didn't deliberately make public outside, he lived a much more chic life.After all, with his pomp and prestige, who would dare to look down on him?

Such a talent was created by him, and he was very happy in his heart, but he never asked whether he was happy or not?

Originally, the lord did not need to ask this question to his ministers, but he cared very much, "I don't want to listen to you to say some high-sounding words, you are becoming more and more bureaucratic now." Could not help but wry smile, Shen Hui looked deeply He said, "I can't give you justice for some things now, but you have to believe that it will happen sooner or later."

Without waiting for his answer, he stood up pretending to be curious, looked around the room, and saw a volume of Fuchun Mountain Dwelling Map hanging next to the bookshelf, suddenly nodded and laughed, "Didn't you say that these paintings look It’s good to see, you don’t need to own it? Why did you borrow it from the Hall of Martial Heroes and hang it up, or did they know you liked it and used it as a tribute? It’s not worth anything. If you really want it, ask me, how can I not? reward you?"

Shen Hui raised his face, as if he had finally caught his secret, his eyes were full of ridicule.

Rong Yu shook his head with a faint smile, asking him to go forward and take a closer look.He walked over suspiciously, stared at the painting, after looking at it for a while, he let out an ahh, looking back with an incredulous expression, "You originally painted this?"

Rong Yu said yes, "But it is true that the original work was first borrowed from the Hall of Martial Arts, and I copied it accordingly."

Shen Hui looked at him, then turned his head to look at the painting again, shaking the wall and sighing softly, "You are really, really... You are almost unreal. If it weren't for the sentence you signed, Rong and Ximo, I would really see it." Can't come out. You draw really well, I just feel that my heart and spleen are in harmony when I look at it."

Rong Yu responded to him with a smile, "I'm just imitating paintings. It should be said that Mr. Zijiu's painting skills really fascinate the viewers."

Speaking of this, it is inevitable to remind people of the picture of the Qingming Riverside hidden on the shelf.Recalling that day when Qin Ruozhen questioned the whereabouts of the painting, Rong Yu didn't bother to see him laughing at Yan Yan, so he simply calmed down, "I'm afraid the empress is still waiting for you, the emperor should go back."

Shen Hui raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I don't want to accompany her, so I have to go out for a stroll."

"But today is the Shangyuan Festival, according to the palace rules, you should really be with your empress." Rong Yu reminded lightly, "Besides, your empress may not be happy if the emperor comes out like this."

Shen Hui smiled contemptuously, and asked with full confidence, "Why should I care whether she is happy or not? Before she came out, she had already fallen asleep. Even if the firecrackers sounded again tonight, she would still not be able to wake up. You can rest assured that she I don't know where I went or who I was with."

Rong and frowned, it seems that he gave Qin Ruozhen some sleeping medicine.Although he felt it was inappropriate, he could still hear some meaning from these words that he was thinking about himself.

But in the end, rationality prevailed, and he hid this little secret joy, and he put on another frame of self-denial and courtesy, just like he has been used to for many years, with no waves.

"I think that the emperor and the empress are very harmonious recently."

Shen Hui snorted coldly, raised his eyebrows and said, "She almost died during childbirth, how could she get along with me? It's just a show, and it's impossible for me and her to be of one heart and one mind in this life, and the phoenix cries in harmony. Besides, you also listen to it today Now, what do you think of Qin Taiyue's words?"

Rong Yu knew what was in his mind, but he was unwilling to follow his train of thought to answer, "At least one thing he said was right. Before the prince's character and knowledge have not been determined, it is not appropriate to establish a prince too early. What the old man said today is true. Resolved the embarrassment for the emperor, after all, it is a family banquet, with all the clan members present, you can't treat them like you treat your servants."

Shen Hui smiled, "I know you can tell what he means. Li Chu, he doesn't have to worry, anyway, whoever I set up, he is the Chu Jun's family, but he can still pick one. Maybe pick someone to listen to him By the way, maybe pick someone who can continue to help the Qin family. You know, his youngest son, Qiu Wei, won Yayuan, and he intends to train another cabinet minister for the Qin family, who will then assist Zhen's son. Grandson! Today is nothing more than offering me a favor in vain."

He let out a long sigh, and said with some annoyance, "There is something you don't know. After hearing what happened that day, Qin Taiyue was furious and sent his wife in to visit the queen, but to give some advice. Otherwise, With such an arrogant temperament as the queen, how could she easily bow her head to me and let you go so easily?"

"The empress's heart towards me is false and true. If you need to ask for anything, you will regard me as the emperor. If you need to satisfy your own emotions, then treat me as a man. I also want someone who is like-minded in politics and has the same mind in life. The person who is willing to take a wrong step and stand behind me will not have resentment or unwillingness. This is the partner I want."

Hearing these words made people shiver for a while, his wish would be difficult to realize in this life, this is a knot, it was already doomed since he chose to form an alliance with Qin Taiyue.

"Since I can't get it, I don't care." He suddenly smiled pretendingly relaxed, "Anyway, there are so many concubines in the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards, they are really beautiful, and everyone can be pampered, but they don't have to treat each other sincerely. It's much simpler."

Such self-comfort is too rough, everyone has feelings, and the emperor is no exception.

Rong Yu couldn't help but retort, "Has the Emperor forgotten Xuanzong and Concubine Yang? As an emperor, you also need to fall in love with each other, and the troubles that come with it."

"Li Longji? If he really loved Yang Yuhuan, how could he give her to death at Maweiyi. But he still loves himself the most." Shen Hui sneered, raised his jaw, his eyes were full of pride, "If I were, I would definitely not kill Concubine Yang, I will never go back to be a bullied Supreme Emperor. I will go far away with her and live a different life!"

It was easy to say, but he couldn't help laughing, "After the ancients, it is difficult to discuss the failures of the ancients; in the position of the ancients, it is difficult to do the affairs of the ancients. The emperor has never been in such a situation, so he should not belittle Xuanzong for no reason."

Shen Hui lowered his eyebrows, as if thinking about what he said, and raised his eyes to face him for a while, "You are not me, how do you know that I won't do that? What are you talking about, the emperor's career for thousands of years, but only a few decades, even if you are greedy, I have to let go after all. Since the green hills can't cover it, it's better to go down the river and see the scenery on the road ahead, it's better than growing up and hating the water."

With a smile, he had to admit that Shen Hui did have some unexpected features, those unrestrained and free-spirited decisions, and of course the unusually persistent desires, were all hidden under the cold exterior and rarely noticed by outsiders.

Not wanting him to immerse himself in unsolvable troubles, Rong Yu thought about it, and simply went to get the Baijia clothes and showed him.

"I just mentioned one thing that day, thank you for remembering it in your heart." Shen Hui smiled and teased, "This is, you sewed it?"

Rong Yu was stunned for a while, "The emperor really thinks that the minister can do everything? This is done by the palace staff of the Department of Clothes Bureau."

Shen Hui rubbed his clothes, pondered for a long time, and said with a smile, "I hope brother Xian can grow up healthy and safe. It's a gift from you, it's better than those gold and jade things."

Rong Yu shook his head and explained, "It doesn't matter if it's precious or simple, it's all from your heart. The emperor once said that it is difficult to feed children in the palace. I just feel that all my property is bestowed by the emperor, and then I give it to His Highness. No sincerity, that's why I thought of this. But you, the emperor, how do you know this kind of thing that only the people have?"

Shen Hui replied with a bright smile, "Do you think that I was only raised in a deep palace before, and didn't know anything? I have been to Liaodong, Yunnan, Zhejiang, and...there are many places. You think I have been to many places. I have seen things I don’t know about.”

His expression darkened suddenly, and he continued, "Unfortunately, after becoming the emperor, I have no chance to go out. So I sent you to see what the outside world looks like for me. If there is a chance in the future, I will also go Let's go, it's just the other places, only Jiangnan, I must go with you to see again."

In the south of the Yangtze River, red apricots and willows, vermilion households by the water, a roll of evening rain, a pillow that hurts the spring, and the grass is lost.Reminiscing about the memories that are gradually fading, being with him, even if it is only half a step wrong, walking beside him seems to be a kind of comfort and comfort.

A burst of deafening fireworks suddenly sounded, interrupting his thoughts.Looking at each other, they feel that at this moment, no matter what kind of sound they make, they will be drowned in the hustle and bustle. Instead of talking, it is better to stare quietly at each other.

His eyes lit up suddenly, and Shen Hui got up suddenly, and whispered in his ear, "Accompany me to watch the fireworks on the Donghua Gate tower."

Rong Yu was taken aback, seeing that the second watch had passed, he instinctively shook his head at him.Shen Hui didn't care about it, and walked out as soon as he pulled him up.

"The emperor's actions will alarm the city guards," Rong Yu grabbed him with his backhand, "it will definitely spread the word tomorrow."

Shen Hui lowered his head, glanced at the big red crane cloak on his body, and said with a smile, "Bring me your clothes and put them on, won't that be all right?"

Rong Yu was stunned, seeing his resolute face, he had no choice but to take out his green gold feather satin cloak, put it on for him, and tied his hat on.Under the blue satin hat, his sword-like eyebrows are even more set off, and his eyes are like cold stars.

Shen Hui did not speak, pulled him up, and walked quickly towards the direction of the Donghua Gate tower, as if there was wind under his feet, his steps became faster and faster, and finally he started running, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the finale fireworks.

All the guards guarding the city recognized Rong Yu, and no one dared to stop him when he saw that he was about to climb the city wall.He just secretly thought it was funny, since he became the chief inspector of ceremonies and the admiral of the West Factory, he has never done anything out of line, maybe before dawn tomorrow, it will spread in the palace, Lin Rongyu is really young and willful, for Watching the fireworks actually boarded the city wall in the middle of the night.

There was no curfew in the capital of Shangyuan, and people could celebrate festivals all night long.Donghuamen is close to Dengshikou, and the city buildings face north and south. Among them, there are Zhufei embroidered buildings, plain walls and green qi, and dozens of lamp stands in the street.It was almost midnight, and there were still horses and chariots passing by, and all kinds of lanterns were put on, making it very lively and lively.

Shen Hui pointed to a scholar lamp nearby, looked at him again, and smiled cheerfully in a good mood, "That scholar in green shirt has clear eyebrows, quite a bit like you."

As soon as the words fell, a firework flew up, and the flames shot straight into the sky, and exploded in mid-air in an instant, sprinkled thousands of golden streamers, shining the dark night sky as bright as day.

The surrounding towers and palaces, under the dazzling light like the pouring of the Milky Way, their majestic momentum disappeared.

Rong Yu turned his head in the light and shadow, and the wide satin hat covered half of Shen Hui's face, as if he had a feeling in his heart, he also turned slightly sideways.

They looked at each other for a long time, until the last firework bloomed, and the night sky suddenly returned to tranquility.From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see the corner of his mouth curled up, Rong Yu didn't look at it carefully, but calmly looked at the sky after the hustle and bustle.

However, he didn't know that Shen Hui was smiling at him, that smile was bright and full of joy, but it was a pity that because there was no feedback, it was silent and hidden in the vast night in the end.
