After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

When Zhou Xun heard the words "concubine begets son", blood rushed to Zhou Xun's head in an instant.

Prime Minister Lu still didn't notice his reaction, so he continued: "I have seen many young people like you. Because most of the mothers are concubines and have never studied, they will be eager for quick success and quick benefits after receiving this kind of education since childhood. But you Since I have such a talent, I am limited by my own vision, it is really—”

He was very regretful in his heart, and he hadn't finished expressing his cherished talent, and he had heard Zhou Xun's strange voice: "Dare to ask the prime minister, have you... or your relatives, friends, and descendants, have you ever taken a concubine?"

At his age, Prime Minister Lu naturally had a wife, but his wife died of illness two years after marriage, so he had no idea of ​​remarrying.But the concubine's room... His mother saw that he hadn't had a wife for many years.He was once bestowed with a name, but he also passed away.So he said with some embarrassment: "Yes, but for a man, this is..."

"This is human nature, isn't it?" Zhou Xun sneered, "Since women are lowly concubines, then the man who accepts these lowly concubines and lets them give birth to his own children is not necessarily wise, right? According to you This statement, a man who takes a concubine, is not very clever."

Prime Minister Lu did not expect Zhou Xun to be so rude.But he himself had taken a concubine after all, so he couldn't find anything to refute for a while.Zhou Xun knew that this person's prejudice against him was deep-rooted, and he misunderstood him, so he didn't want to waste his words: "It's useless for Lu Cheng to say this to me. If you want to say it, you can talk to the emperor."

As soon as Prime Minister Lu heard this, he knew that there was nothing to say - didn't he just use the emperor's ignorance to persuade Zhou Xun to leave by himself.He tried to talk to the emperor about getting Zhou Xun to leave the capital, but he was stunned by the other party.

It's just that Zhou Xun's attitude was pretty good at first, but for some reason, he suddenly made an attack... Prime Minister Lu couldn't help but remember him in his heart.

Putting aside the matter of Prime Minister Lu, Zhou Xun returned to the side hall.The emperor hasn't come back yet - he knows that the emperor will have another banquet tonight, and his affairs with the businessman are still going on.

Zhou Xun didn't think much of it in the past, but the desertedness in the hall today made him a little unbearable.

He suddenly hoped that the emperor was here, chatting with him - or not talking, just patting him with his hands, it would be very good.

...Although every time the emperor tried hard, he could knock him down.

Zhou Xun calmed down after practicing three pages of calligraphy.When he was writing the last stroke, he began to think that maybe it was the emperor who was more difficult than him.

He is only staying in the palace now, because of this sentence, he has been in a bad mood for a long time... But what about the emperor?The emperor is now facing the ministers, I am afraid it will be more difficult than him.

But thinking of the emperor's usual cheerful look, Zhou Xun smiled helplessly.

For some reason, as long as he thinks of the emperor, he feels that the sky is high and the clouds are wide, and there is nothing to worry about.

Not long after, Xiao Lizi came in and said: "The emperor will not be able to stop the banquet for a while. The night is too late, so we will rest in the nearby Fuchun Palace. Mr. Zhou should go to bed earlier."

Zhou Xun: ...

In fact, it has nothing to do with him where the emperor sleeps... But why did the emperor go so far as to ask Xiao Lizi to report to him?

Seeing Zhou Xun's strange expression, Xiao Lizi immediately added: "Young Master Zhou, don't worry, there isn't even a beautiful fly in Fuchun Palace, let alone a concubine!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Even weirder.

He somehow remembered some couples in the folk.The husband went out to socialize, and he was afraid that his wife would dislike him if he came back late smelling of alcohol, so he slept in another room—of course, he still had to report his whereabouts to his wife before going to bed—especially to explain that there was no one in the room. Another pretty girl.

Zhou Xun withdrew his weird fantasies, shook his head at Xiao Lizi and said, "..."

Zhou Xun: ...

What should he say?I trust you?

too weird.He and the emperor haven't reached that point yet.

Have a good drink?Have a good meal?have a good rest?

...How come she looks like a good wife.

Zhou Xun could only say: "...yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, his face became hot.

This is even more strange, as if the emperor insisted on asking for his permission.

But Xiao Lizi had a look of familiarity.He saw Zhou Xun's pile of rice paper, and said thoughtfully: "Young Master Zhou, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night...the emperor didn't mean to save you, so don't take it to heart."

As soon as Zhou Xun heard it, he knew that he was talking about the sacrificial oration.He smiled helplessly: "I didn't take it to heart."

Xiao Lizi took the order to leave.Seeing Xiao Lizi being so considerate, Zhou Xun had a bold idea. He said to Xiao Lizi: "Today's matter...is it Xiao Li Gonggong who reminded the emperor and reported it to me?"

Xiao Lizi coughed: "Although this slave has always understood the emperor very well."

Zhou Xun: ...

Xiao Lizi: "But this time, the emperor really spoke first."

Zhou Xun: ...

Little Lizi also left.Zhou Xun felt a little nervous, and fell asleep on the bed, thinking about Lu Cheng chatting with him during the day.

Forget it, hasn't he learned not to take what others say?In short, how he treated the emperor was never for the reasons these people thought.

Zhou Xun couldn't sleep at night after all.He got up from the bed and sat at the desk to write prayers for the emperor.

The moonlight reflected on his fingers gently, and Zhou Xun felt very peaceful in his heart.

Perhaps because the scene is too quiet, even a little noise is easy to detect.

Zhou Xun was halfway through writing, but there was a rustling sound outside the door.

— as if someone was hiding behind the door and spying secretly.

Zhou Xun stood up from the desk, and the voice outside the door disappeared.

He pretended to be unconscious, wrote the last sentence, and lightly blew out the oil lamp.

Then, he followed the darkness and moved to the door step by step.

—and then suddenly the door opened!

"Ouch!"

It was indeed the emperor who fell to the ground clutching his nose.Zhou Xun pulled the doors on both sides and looked at him helplessly: "What are you pretending to do here?"

——Well, I do smell a little bit alcoholic.Zhou Xun thought.

The emperor hummed and said, "Passing by..."

"Ok?"

"Going to the toilet, lost my way..."

Zhou Xun didn't believe his statement.He lived in the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but the emperor slept in the Fuchun Hall to the south.There is a lake and a forest between the two halls, how could he get lost here?

Seeing that Zhou Xun didn't believe it, the emperor touched his nose again: "Running at night..."

Zhou Xun: "Huh?"

Emperor: "Ah, heh! You also know that if you eat too much, you will get flatulence easily, so come out to digest food! Hahaha!"

Zhou Xun raised his eyebrows, and the emperor finally groaned and said his real purpose: "Well, I just came to see you..."

see what he does?

"It's not, it's for the sacrifice." The emperor scratched his head, "Well, I'm just lazy and don't want to write essays. I didn't mean to save face on you, so don't be angry."

Who told him he was angry?

"Xiao Lizi, he said that you were so angry that you didn't sleep in the middle of the night."

Zhou Xun: ...

It seems that Xiao Lizi not only understands the emperor very well, but also tries to "understand" him.

The emperor rubbed his hands together for a long time, then said in a low voice, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to write...mainly..."

Zhou Xun: ...

The emperor: "Oh, I, I... I just thought, we don't need to be led by those officials, right? They say they want to read it, so they have to write to them? And, and you are so busy studying now, I'm still here to trouble you, I feel a little embarrassed to trouble you too much..."

"Actually, I didn't..."

Emperor: "Besides, I don't pay you wages, so what's the point of asking you to work overtime!"

Zhou Xun looked at him steadfastly, chuckled for a while, and opened the door: "Come in with me."

He entered the house, only to find that the emperor was still standing outside.The emperor rubbed his hands together and said dryly, "This..."

"what happened?"

"Isn't that inappropriate? It's so late..."

Zhou Xun: "...Why is it inappropriate?"

Only then did the emperor show a look of sudden realization and a little shame, and said, "Oh, it's appropriate, it's appropriate!"

Zhou Xun: ...

Emperor: "We are all men, suitable!"

The emperor came in in a hurry, his posture was a little too exaggerated, as if he was trying to cover up something.Zhou Xun looked at him and thought he was a little weird.

Zhou Xun took the prayer he had just written from the table and said to the emperor, "Look at this."

This article was written for him by Zhou Xun.The emperor took it over and looked at it seriously for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "Good! Well written!"

Zhou Xun seriously suspected that if he wrote him an entire article "The three-year drought period is over, welcome the return of Lord Dragon King", he would clap his hands and say yes.

He looked at the emperor suspiciously, but the emperor immediately took the article and pointed out several allusions in detail, and used rhetorical techniques such as reading comprehension, rendering, foreshadowing, echoing from beginning to end, meticulous line drawing, contrast and exaggeration, etc. The structural approach is fully appreciated and analyzed.

Zhou Xun immediately showed an expression of "You are no longer Wuxia Amon", and said to the emperor in great surprise: "The emperor has improved a lot now."

The emperor touched his forehead, thinking that his miraculous skill of "can't read articles but can write reading comprehension" in high school has not regressed.Of course—now he has indeed grown a lot by relying on supplementary cultural knowledge.

Although it was a bit hard and tiring during the study, but now seeing Zhou Xun's surprise and admiration (not) eyes, the emperor only felt that the little Corgi in his heart had already tap danced.

——Of course, he absolutely denied that Zhou Xun's eyes meant that "the child can use backgammon to read the computer when he grows up".

In addition, he really felt that Zhou Xun's writing was particularly good - even an outsider could see it at a glance, and the intention was more ambitious.

From Zhou Xun's point of view, the emperor just coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "I just did a little work. I do as the Romans do, and I just read books casually."

Zhou Xun: "Oh——"

The emperor started screaming again: "You don't know, there is a master of Chinese studies at the banquet today, whose level is not known to be higher than those of the officials! I talked and laughed with him!"

Zhou Xun then raised his lips and smiled at him.In the eyes of the emperor, the peach blossoms bloomed one tree after another.

It was good to see that he was almost knocked out.

It's a pity that the peach blossom-like Zhou Xun asked the next moment: "When the emperor goes to the altar, can he hold the manuscript?"

The emperor didn't react: "Of course not, of course you have to memorize the script."

"The auspicious day will be seven days later, and the ceremony will also be arranged after seven days. Your manuscript will definitely pass." The emperor didn't know the fate he was about to face, and patted Zhou Xun brightly, "But don't worry, Tomorrow, I will go and surprise those talkative officials!"

Zhou Xun also laughed, and before Taohua knocked the emperor unconscious again, Zhou Xun said to him: "Then I will trouble the emperor for a few days."

Emperor: "No hard work, no hard work."

Zhou Xun thought for a while and said, "Since the ceremony is seven days later, the emperor should read and recite the whole chapter as soon as possible."

emperor:? ?

The emperor's smile gradually froze.He slowly said: "Read it...and recite it?"

Zhou Xun said with a smile: "I read it a hundred times, and the meaning is self-evident. Isn't that what everyone says?"

emperor:……

Zhou Xun reminded him several times, thought for a while and said, "To ensure everything is safe, the emperor will take a rest in two days, right?"

The emperor nodded with difficulty.Zhou Xun said: "Two days later in the morning, I will randomly check the dictation."

The emperor's face was wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he was dejected, and finally said: "Uh...that's fine."

Zhou Xun's smile became brighter and brighter. The emperor looked at him with the feeling that King You of Zhou was playing with the princes just to make Bao Si happy.

But as Bao Si, what he wanted to see was not the beacon fire, but his endorsement.

This……

That's all, it's all here, just recite it.Anyway... As a student of the Celestial Dynasty, he still has many ways to deal with dictation.

This is the wisdom of modern people!

And... Zhou Xun had such a nice smile just now, he was so dazed that he agreed to come over.

"Read it well and recite it, you really don't forget your original intention, so you can stick to it." Coming out of Zhou Xun's side hall, the emperor was still looking up to the sky and screaming, "Ahhh, why!"

"Little Yuwenshu, you have already been reincarnated, why are you still such a devil!"

The emperor didn't know that his voice was heard by Zhou Xun.Hearing a few strange sentences, he was startled suddenly.

Small language documents?

literature book?

He used to think that the emperor said "Yu Wen", but now he heard that the word "Yu" can be said to be correct, without any trace of mispronunciation.

Isn't the emperor calling him?

Two days later, the emperor took a rest.And Zhou Xun also got a whole day of rest.So he got up very early and waited for the emperor in the imperial study.

Unexpectedly, the emperor got up earlier and was already sitting at the desk with a stack of papers in front of him.Seeing Zhou Xun coming, he said from a distance: "Let's start!"

Seeing that he was so active, Zhou Xun agreed.

For some reason, he glanced at it and felt that the snow-white rice paper——

Seems kind of bumpy?
