After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

When he returned to his own bedroom, he saw that the emperor had fallen asleep lying on the table.He seemed to have been waiting for him here for a long time. Due to his busy political affairs these days, his eyes were blackened, and he was still wearing the clothes he wore when he met the courtiers. He lay there in a big, fluffy mass.

Zhou Xun couldn't help thinking of the little yellow dog.The little yellow dog who came to see him in the ice and snow.

The couch is very long, with desks in the middle.The emperor lay down on one side, but he could also sit on the other side.So Zhou Xun sat on the other side and also lay down on the table to watch him.

"I went out to do bad things today." He said in a soft voice, as if he was about to fall asleep, "Yan Ruoqi eloped with Princess Changle, the Yan family and Zhou family were ashamed, and Zhou Cai was so angry that I vomited blood , Hmm... Lu Xiandao will appear, I don't know. I even put that painting up for auction."

"You must know this, right?" He stroked the hair on the emperor's forehead with his hand, "You bought me the painting. You should already know everything I did today. You are so kind to me Yes, Rong Haoyu. You will give me everything...but what can I give you?"

He paused, put his head on the table, folded his hands on his chin, and looked at him without blinking.

The most precious thing he owns is his life.he thinks.

What does Rong Haoyu like?He likes to laugh without image, likes to talk about some stalks he doesn't understand, likes to have sparkling eyes when talking about drawings and governance, likes to show him his achievements in governing the country, and likes to talk about his dreams.

Zhou Xun actually doesn't know how a person should love others.People who have been rarely loved also lose the ability to love others.But he thought, he wants to help the emperor realize his dream.

He is alive and he is with him.When he died, he took care of his funeral affairs and let him go.

The man with an old voice whom he had met once in the Imperial Prison suddenly reappeared in his mind.

'Do you think you'll always be this lucky? ’ That’s what the man said to him at the time.

That scene was obviously inexplicable, but it carved a strange mark in his heart.

"...I hope I will always have you in my life." He whispered, "If you leave, I will guard your land for you, and I will go with you."

He also fell asleep on the table.In a daze, he seemed to feel a drop of warm liquid dripping on his forehead.

Is it rain?still……

He opened his eyes, and what he saw was still only the empty room, and the emperor who was lying opposite him, snoring, sleeping so hard that he was almost heartless.

Zhou Xun looked at the strand at the corner of his mouth: ...

But...it took a long time before he regained his weirdness.Even though the emperor was in a dream... but the drop of liquid just now clearly landed on his forehead?No matter how soundly the emperor slept, his... would not be able to complete such a difficult movement.

He touched his forehead with his fingers, and there were still traces of coolness there.It was as if something like a tear had fallen on his forehead and was drying there.

……

The next morning, Zhou Xun woke up.

When he woke up, he found himself in bed, and he didn't know who put him up.The emperor who was sleeping across from the desk last night disappeared.The room was empty, not even the voice of the maid.

Zhou Xun:?

He was about to prop himself up from the bed, but his fingers touched something.The thing was placed beside his pillow, and he turned his head.

Is it a cloth... tiger?

The kind for children, cloth tiger?

Zhou Xun:?

He picked up the cloth tiger. The cloth tiger's beard was crooked, as if it had been embroidered by someone who was not good at needlework.A piece of paper was pressed under the cloth tiger, and a line of words was written on the paper: "Happy birthday. Come to Qixing Pavilion in the west of the city to find me."

The inscription is "Your Brother Rong" in a few flamboyant words.

Zhou Xun:?

Judging by the handwriting, the emperor should have practiced his handwriting well recently.

He didn't know what the emperor was doing, but since the emperor asked him to find him, he just went to find him.

He got dressed and got up from the bed.The entire mansion was silent, not even a single person was there.In the silence, Zhou Xun pushed open the door of the mansion.

then……

"Where are you going, Mr. Zhou? Take my car!"

"Sit on mine, sit on mine!"

"Our car is covered with fox fur..."

Outside the gate of the mansion was a crowd of beaming coachmen, and when they saw him coming out, they hugged him and sent him to the most luxurious car.Zhou Xun was sitting in the car, and soon someone handed him a hot towel and a fruit plate for washing his hands.The carriage drove him all the way to the Qixing Pavilion in the west of the city.

Seven Stars Pavilion is the most famous jewelry store in the entire capital, which only sells the best jadeite and employs the best carvers.But when Zhou Xun entered, the shopkeeper, who had been ignoring the customers, changed his appearance.He smiled enthusiastically, took out a box, and said, "Young Master Zhou's birthday gift has been prepared."

Zhou Xun opened this exquisitely crafted box, and what was contained inside was actually a longevity lock of fine carving and full of materials, inlaid with gold and jade, inlaid with pure gold and inlaid with ice jadeite.

A... Longevity lock that only a one-year-old child would wear?

Holding the longevity lock, Zhou Xun was in a state of confusion and bewilderment, when he saw the shopkeeper take out a sign from the counter and said, "Mr. Zhou hasn't eaten breakfast so early, right? I know the There is a private kitchen here, named Zhaoying Xiaozhu, the owner of Xiaozhu is also the cook here, the craftsmanship is superb, and the princes and nobles have to make reservations half a month in advance if they want to dine there. Coincidentally, I have a wooden table for Zhang Guike here. card, if you can eat there, Mr. Zhou can go and have breakfast casually..."

Next, Zhou Xun was swiftly sent to Zhaoying Xiaozhu.That Xiaozhu was indeed a well-known private kitchen. Even though there was a sign saying "no guests today", Zhou Xun could still see the servants of Duke Huguo's Mansion, the servants of Ninth Prince's Mansion, and Ding Bei when he came. The servants of the Hou's mansion looked there with their heads propped up.However, the sign that was like a moat to them was briefly taken off after Zhou Xun came.The cook with a veil on her face welcomed him in.

Then, Zhou Xun watched the owner of Xiaozhu make a bowl in the elegant courtyard where six tables could have been seated...

Longevity noodles that never break from start to finish.

"Longevity noodles have to be eaten from the beginning to the end in order to keep the blessing." The owner of Xiaozhu laughed.

After eating, he saw a line of writing on the bottom of the bowl, asking him to go to the carpenter's shop in the north of the city.

Zhou Xun got a very interesting wooden kitten there. When the kitten is wound up, it will waddle and walk on the road.Zhou Xun put it in the palm of his hand, thinking, it is a toy that children will like very much.

The carriage drove him all the way.Everywhere Zhou Xun went, he was greeted warmly, as if the whole world was celebrating his birthday.He received a string of bamboo wind chimes in the handicraft shop below. The wind chimes are very thoughtful, and each piece of bamboo is engraved with his favorite poems.After leaving the handicraft shop, he went to a calligraphy and painting shop, where he received a set of the best Four Treasures of the Study, and a lot of stickers of characters from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Taste.Then came the bookstore, where countless comic strips and precious ancient books were taken out one by one in front of him and carried back to his home.

Then, there was another toy, a huge khaki bear-shaped pillow that could be hugged... When Zhou Xun saw it, the corners of Zhou Xun's eyes twitched, and he asked someone to cover it with a cloth, and then put this weird Put the things back in his house.The next thing became more normal. It was a set of go chess carved in jade. At the bottom of each chess piece, there were different carved patterns with solar terms as the theme.The next thing is a beautiful little slingshot, and then a wooden thing that can be ridden and moved, which is called a "bicycle" by the shopkeeper.

Then there is a diorama that can illuminate people as clearly as a reflection in the river, and a box.There seems to be a mechanism in the box. When the clockwork is tightened, there will be music, and the statues of kittens and puppies on it will also rotate accordingly.Then, there is a thing called "Rubik's Cube".There seems to be a mechanism in that thing, and it can be opened by turning it back to its original shape.Zhou Xun turned around and tried, but failed.

Throughout April [-]th, he bathed in the sun, receiving one gift after another.They are childish, eccentric, quirky but cute.The gifts piled up in Zhou Xun's hands, and someone took them back to Zhou Xun's home.He walked in the capital step by step, visiting every corner of the capital.Every corner is decorated with lights, every shop is warm and friendly, as if the whole world is smiling, and everyone and everything in the world is celebrating his birthday.

No.15 gift is a very beautiful piano.When it came to the No. 16 gift, Zhou Xun was finally stunned.

That is a decree.

A copy of the imperial decree posthumously ordered by Lin Yan, the mother of champion Zhou Xun, has been sent to Jiangzhou.

Then, the No.17 gift, a brand new champion red robe. No. 18 gifts are in his own home. On his mansion, there is a plaque bestowed by the emperor of "Zhou Mansion" and a couplet written by the emperor himself.The plaque of "Zhou Mansion" on the original "Zhou Mansion" has been removed.The mansion was in ruins.A passer-by said that yesterday the groom was taken back to prison by the Jiang guards, together with his family members who obstructed official duties.When they denied it desperately, You Jiangwei discovered a volume of evidence that Zhou Cai had an affair with the Northern Wei Dynasty just under Xitang.The volume of evidence was dropped by the eldest princess. In order to take Yan Ruoqi away, she made some other preparations, such as this volume of evidence that could be used to sue the imperial court, and Jiang Wei who came to the door that day.Jiang Wei and Zhou Xun, who were guarding there, said that Zhou Cai and Zhou Xun both had the surname Zhou and had been champions, but Zhou Cai is now a traitorous villain. After the settlement, the Zhou family was a criminal family, and their surnames were deprived and changed.And Zhou Xun, still surnamed Zhou.

The No. 19 gift is a small path, with transplanted peach trees and fragrant weeds planted on both sides of the path.In the night, Zhou Xun went up the stairs and saw a temple.Long candles and lanterns are lit in the temple.

Outside the temple is a long river.It turns out that today is also the day of the temple fair, no wonder there are lights and festoons along the way, as if the whole world is congratulating him.On the river, there are countless river lanterns, which are floated in by thousands of people.

The emperor, on the other hand, stood among the lights made up of river lanterns.

"Happy birthday!" He smiled, and picked up a river lantern, "Come on, you can put one too!"

The lotus was in his broad palm, and Zhou Xun took it into his palm.

"...Actually, I didn't want to approve this event. The pollution is too great. It's too troublesome to send people to fish it out tomorrow morning. But the people like it, so it's held like this." The emperor handed him the pen, "Write one and see?"

Zhou Xun lowered his eyes and smiled: "Is this the No.20 gift?"

He actually understood all the emperor's arrangements for the whole day.From childhood to adulthood, from birth to crown.The emperor did not participate in his past, but today, he gave him the gifts he deserved at each age, one by one, in order...

gave it to him.

The emperor grinned, and scratched his head: "Oh, I'm sorry...is that right?"

Zhou Xun held the brush, he held the lotus lantern, blinked vigorously, and then wrote the four characters "Peace for All" on it.

Seeing those four characters, the emperor felt aggrieved, and said, "Isn't I above?"

Zhou Xun then laughed: "The world is peaceful, you are the emperor, and you will be safe and well, shining in the annals of history."

"The world belongs to the people, not to me."

The emperor spoke seriously, so Zhou Xun turned the river lantern around and showed him the other side.

There are four words written on it.

"Longevity and peace".

Where is the emperor?He is in a lifetime.

His safety brought him, without him, how could he be in Chang'an.

The emperor laughed too, grabbed a river lantern and wrote "two love each other" in Chinese characters.

After thinking about it, he added the phrase "never leave for a hundred years".

The two river lanterns floated away with the river water side by side.Zhou Xun said: "I heard that the farther the river lantern floats, the more wishes will be realized."

"Really?" said the emperor.

Zhou Xun nodded and looked at the two river lanterns.

"Then I'll have someone fish them up later, and when King Duan returns to the northwest, let him put these two river lanterns in the lake in Liangzhou." The emperor clapped his hands, very excited, "Can there be any Can the river lamp travel through time and space, every corner, can it float farther than it?"

Zhou Xun: ...you are really a little genius.

He was about to speak when he saw two river lanterns stranded by the river and hit the surface of the river.The candles in the river lanterns haven't been burned much yet, and it looks like they've only been let off for a while.

"Hey, two unlucky ones? This lantern looks like it came from Yanyunfang next door." The emperor himself was in a good mood, and after seeing the two river lanterns, he felt more sympathetic, "Come on, I Put them back in the river. We are happy, and everyone else should be happy too."

So Zhou Xun and him lowered down and put the two unlucky river lanterns back into the river. Before releasing them, he accidentally saw the lantern in his hand. There was a man's handwriting on it, but it was just a few simple words. "Every year is safe", but the following words were wet by the river and could not be seen.

The emperor beside him said: "There is a smell on this lantern...Ah Choo!"

He sneezed.

Zhou Xun leaned over and smelled it. There was indeed a fragrance on the lantern, but he didn't know where he had smelled it.On the lantern was a woman's slender handwriting, which read "My Wish Comes True".

The emperor held back his sneeze and put the lantern back into the river.The two lanterns floated crookedly but cautiously in the river, the emperor proudly said: "Look, we did a good deed today..."

Before he finished speaking, one of the two lanterns was bumped by the lantern next to him, and sank into the water at an angle.

emperor:……

"By the way," the emperor suddenly said mysteriously, "I'll take you to a place. You should cover your eyes first."

Zhou Xun:?

He tied his eyes with the black cloth given to him by the emperor, held the hand of the emperor, and followed the emperor up the steps, walking carefully step by step.In the darkness, he could only feel the touch of the emperor holding his hand, he could only hear his own footsteps, the chirping of birds, and smell the aroma of the grass on both sides.He heard the emperor whisper: "Are you afraid?"

Zhou Xun shook his head.

With you, there will be no fear.

Finally, they seemed to be somewhere, like some hillside, some top overlooking the city.The black cloth covering his eyes was taken off, and at this moment, Zhou Xun's eyes lit up.

A golden firework, as if stuck in time, bloomed before his eyes!

The first firework is golden, the second firework is red, then green, purple, blue... Fireworks of various colors are blooming in the sky, one after another, the sound pierces the sky, piercing the sky It has become a curtain for flowers to bloom.The emperor blocked Zhou Xun's ears with his hand, and shouted in his ear again: "These metals—flame reaction—I managed to extract them—let them explode this time—in a controlled manner. -"

He seemed very proud, and started talking about a bunch of physical and chemical knowledge that Zhou Xun couldn't understand: "I made it all—"

The huge and blooming fireworks all over the sky were reflected in Zhou Xun's eyes. He heard the voice of the emperor shouting in his ear, as if he was trying to overwhelm the sound of fireworks: "These are fireworks-a total of 81 rings, nine nine 81, Every sound is for you, it is a gift—the gift of the future—to add up, it will be a hundred years old! We—want—to live a hundred years! By the way—the last moment of your birthday -"

"Happy birthday!!" he said loudly, "Happy birthday!"

……

At the same time, Yanyunfang.

The liveliness of Yanyunfang did not stop until late at night.Qing Ruo put the pen back into the pen holder.

"It's really deceiving... you actually came to ask me to set the river lantern?" She said softly.

Her eyes were not those of a victor, but neither sorrow nor joy.
