After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The jade carvings on the tray are radiant and colorful, and the red gold velvet cloth is placed under it.Others just glanced over and couldn't move their eyes away.

"This jade carving is really beautiful." Hong Ling murmured in admiration.

This jade plum blossom is carved from white jade, and the jade color is transparent, which is rare even in the palace.In addition to the jade itself, its carving level is also exquisite. The branches of the plum tree are strong, and the branches are full of the arrogance of Lingshuang and Aoxue, and the flowers are also distinct.As the jade carving was moved, the clusters of flowers on the tree seemed to have spirits. Looking at it in a trance, they seemed to be blooming in the wind, and there seemed to be a faint fragrance floating in a trance.

"Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night. The wind blows down, and the stars are like rain." Maybe this is the scene.

Hong Ling sighed in admiration, and in a blink of an eye saw Zhou Cai staring straight at the jade carving over there.Her empathetic heart was activated again.

"Master Zhou also thinks this jade carving is beautiful?" She said happily.

Zhou Cai smiled and nodded with difficulty.

... This sweetheart.

"Of course it's Young Master Zhou, who else can there be besides Young Master Zhou?" Hong Ling said, "Just like the servant girl said before, the emperor treats Young Master Zhou very well."

Zhou Cai smiled, and the fishy-sweet smell in his throat became stronger.He intentionally put on a worried look: "It's a pity that God's grace may not last long. The emperor will keep brother Xun by his side, but he still refuses to give him a title. How long will it be good for him to serve you? I'm afraid... ..."

——Oh, Mr. Zhou really cares about his brothers!Hong Ling was a little moved, as the saying goes, love is the deepest responsibility, if a person is more worried about another person, he will be more worried about him.What's more, Zhou Cai's "love" for his younger brother is a "fact" for all to see...

She must explain clearly to Zhou Cai!

She wants to eliminate Zhou Cai's worries!

"Master Zhou, don't worry about it. The emperor has never regarded Mr. Zhou as a pet, and he has never ordered Mr. Zhou to sleep. The emperor admires Mr. Zhou's talent and learning, respects Mr. Zhou very much, and has never exceeded his rules. The emperor said that there is a friendship, a tacit understanding and an unforgettable friendship between the two of them that no one else can understand!" Hong Ling counted the things the emperor had done for Zhou Xun, "Although the color fades and the love relaxes, the emperor always likes Zhou Xun. It's not just the appearance of Mr. Zhou, the servants are watching the emperor and Mr. Zhou's daily relationship, they are really in harmony, Mr. Zhou don't have to worry..."

Zhou Cai: ...

"Besides, you don't have to worry about your status." Hong Ling said with a smile, "The emperor has never forgotten this matter. The emperor said that Mr. Zhou is talented and knowledgeable. It would be a waste of money to arrange positions randomly. So the emperor said , I have to choose a position for Young Master Zhou carefully, so I haven't been able to make up my mind for a long time."

Zhou Cai who was suspended from work: ...

"Besides, Mr. Zhou is currently writing books for the emperor in the palace. He is very busy. If the emperor has any questions, he will come to him. For a period of time, Mr. Zhou will not be able to take up other positions. Oh, the emperor still Said that in the future, Mr. Zhou will be responsible for compiling history books. What did he say, "language and history have always been connected, Mr. Zhou will definitely live up to the entrustment"..."

Zhou Cai, who has nothing to do since that day and has been deprived of the qualification to write history books: ...

In order to comfort Zhou Cai, Hong Ling talked about the good things between Zhou Xun and the emperor with great interest.After she finished speaking, she thought about it and felt that this was not enough.

Now Master Zhou misunderstood this matter, but what if other people in the court also misunderstood this matter?If so, seeing my dear brother being troubled by misunderstanding...

Master Zhou, how sad it must be!

Hong Ling secretly nodded in her heart.Now Mr. Zhou Xun is not well-known in the court, but for those very few people who know his name... Because of the matter of the fifth prince, Mr. Zhou's reputation before was probably not good.

She has to find a way to clarify for Young Master Zhou in the latter, as for the former, she also has to remind the emperor to pay more attention to this matter, and find a way to wash away Young Master Zhou's previous stigma, so as not to worry Zhou Cai...

This is the only thing she can do for Zhou Cai.

After thinking about it, Hong Ling felt even happier, and felt that she could do a good deed every day again today.She looked up at Zhou Cai, and was about to speak, but was startled by Zhou Cai.

Zhou Cai's expression is...

She looked at the other person's red eyes, twitching throat, and trembling body, completely unable to restrain her distorted expression...

Hongling:? !

Mr. Zhou, this is... Hong Ling thought blankly, about to cry with joy?

Mr. Zhou really cares about his brothers!Looking at his expression, Hong Ling was even more moved.

Hong Ling decided to say one last word.

"Master Zhou seems to like this jade plum blossom very much?" She said with a smile, "If Master Zhou likes it, you can come to the palace to see it from time to time. This jade plum blossom must be sent to Mr. Zhou. You can freely enter and leave the inner palace, eh..."

Zhou Cai: ...

He felt that his eyes were darkened, and he was about to be unable to stand up.

However, Hong Ling added the last sentence: "Master Zhou, why has he been standing outside the palace gate? It's the slaves who have delayed Master Zhou. Please go in quickly, hey, why is Master Zhou clutching his chest, but does it hurt?..."

"Miss Hongling." Eunuch Wei laughed, "Master Zhou is waiting for someone to send a message to enter the imperial study. When the person who sent the message returns, Lord Zhou will naturally be able to enter."

Hongling: "Oh..."

Zhou Cai: ...

At this moment, a young eunuch came out from the Donghua Gate.Zhou Cai clutched his heart, feeling that the turbulent blood had calmed down a little.

then……

"Master Chu," the little eunuch bowed to the second son of the Chu family, "The emperor sent you in."

Zhou Cai: ...

"Thank you, Eunuch, for the notification." The second son of the Chu family returned a salute. He ordered someone to carefully support the flower tree, and went in without even looking at Zhou Cai.

Zhou Cai only felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and his abdomen seemed to be pricked by needles.Hong Ling saw the second young master of the Chu family enter the Donghua Gate, and said: "Young Master Chu came later than your Excellency, but entered earlier than your Excellency..."

Seeing Zhou Cai's face like gold paper, she was startled, and realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly comforted her: "Master Zhou, don't worry about it, maybe it's because the little eunuch who conveyed the message for Master Zhou didn't move fast enough, and Or because Mr. Zhou has nothing important to discuss, so Mr. Chu went ahead..."

Hong Ling watched Zhou Cai's complexion getting worse and worse.She wondered what she said wrong, obviously everything she said was based on Zhou Cai's thoughts!

Or... Mr. Zhou really likes that jade plum blossom?That's right, Mr. Zhou seems to really like plum blossoms...

At that moment, a rumor surfaced from the bottom of Hongling's heart, and she suddenly remembered what Luyao mentioned to her a few days ago, Master Gu seemed to have given the plum blossoms that should have been given to Master Zhou to the second son of Chu. rumor……

It was a flash of lightning, but Hong Ling finally understood!

The people in the court are used to exalting the high and trampling the low.Hong Ling bit her lip, resentful for Zhou Cai in her heart.

There was no delay in the matter at hand, Hong Ling wanted to say something more to Zhou Cai, so she had to leave.Before leaving, she could only comfort Zhou Cai one last time.

"Master Zhou, if you like that jade carving, you can also go to Mr. Zhou's place to have a look." Hong Ling said, "You are brothers, and it's the same for anyone you give it to. You don't have to be too..."

Not long after, there was an exclamation from Donghuamen.

"Come here! Come here!" Eunuch Wei was about to lose his wits.

There really wasn't anything good to pick this week!

"Preach the Imperial Physician! Master Zhou... vomited blood!!"

Inside the imperial study.

Zhou Xun in the imperial study was naturally unaware of what happened in front of Donghua Gate.Now he is caught in the vortex of another matter.

That vortex is a word.

"You should paint it on, that red mark was originally made by me..."

Zhou Xun:?

The emperor happened to hold his arm when he said that sentence, and the two sat on both sides of a chaise longue, their posture was never close before.

Therefore, at the same time when the skin was touching, the emperor's words became more clearly audible in the imperial study.Zhou Xun could hear every word in it clearly.

Zhou Xun:?

He was sure that he really heard the words blurted out by the emperor, and turned his head to look at the emperor.

emperor:"!!!"

The emperor realized his gaffe the moment he looked over.He immediately closed his mouth, even his lips were pressed into a tight line, and he looked towards the direction of the sky.

Zhou Xun: ...

He looked down at the burn scar on his hand.The scald scar was ferocious when he was scalded at the beginning, but after a long time, only a light red mark was left.In fact, to him, it doesn't matter whether he removes the light red or not.

But the emperor was very concerned about this old scar, not only found ointment, but also asked him to apply it for several days to remove that scar... His enthusiasm was far more than that of himself who had this old scar.

If someone else cared so much about this matter, perhaps Zhou Xun would think that it was because he was greedy for beauty, so he would not allow any trace of imperfection on his belongings.

But the emperor is not that kind of person.The look in his eyes when he looked at the old scar was distressed and pity. He really wanted to get rid of this long-lasting scar out of good intentions.

But the emperor's eyes are not only distressed and pity, but there is also a bit of emotion that makes him feel a little strange...

Guilt.

Why does the emperor feel guilty about this burnt scar?

Zhou Xun was once puzzled by this—in fact, he didn't.As far as he is concerned, there are too many things to think about besides his own minor injury.What's more, the emperor treated him... He never thought of pursuing this matter.

Until just now...

The emperor said that the mark was made by him?

The emperor's tone at that time was firm and without hesitation, it didn't seem like a random nonsense, but it seemed to come from the heart.

As if stating a fact.

But Zhou Xun recalled that October when he was burned.In October of that year, he was in Jiangzhou, and only in Jiangzhou.

He has not been to the capital, nor has he seen outsiders.

He knew that in his life at that time, the person "Rong Xuan" did not appear.
