There's A Beauty

The Ninth Prince talked with Emperor Zhongkang for a while, and returned to the East Palace after receiving the imperial decree to transfer Zhao Zhizhou to the household department.

Before leaving the door, Emperor Zhongkang suddenly called him, "My lord, have you found the man in your dream?"

"I found it." The Ninth Prince nodded firmly, with an unprecedented peaceful expression on his handsome face.He finally understood that no matter how much he resisted, fate was fate.

"There are so many sisters in the Kyushu and Five Kingdoms, but is he actually the son of Zhao Fusheng?" Emperor Zhongkang became interested and asked, "What does he look like? He is indeed so beautiful and peerless?" A tragic love for that legendary , the young man who loves the Overlord like his life, he has been full of curiosity since he was a child.The portrait that has been touched until it fades naturally has his share of the credit.

The Ninth Prince smiled and said frankly, "If you say that the country is overwhelmed, it is not true, but in the heart of my son, it is naturally unparalleled."

Xi Shi is in the eyes of lovers, Emperor Zhongkang could understand, waved his hands and said, "Bring him into the palace some other day and let me have a look."

"I can see you tomorrow. I have withdrawn Zhao Yusong and replaced him as my companion. Father treats him better. He is a little timid." The Ninth Prince explained carefully.

Emperor Zhongkang couldn't laugh or cry, and said that his son had forgotten his father when he had a daughter-in-law, and drove him away angrily.For the fact that his son would fall in love with the same sex, he had been psychologically prepared a long time ago, and he had secretly searched for a boy named Youshu among the people so that he could bring him into the palace to be raised.In this way, the son does not have to be tortured by nightmares every day, so that his temper becomes more and more weird.

Seeing that his son was seventeen or eighteen years old and You Shu hadn't disappeared yet, he thought that his son would die alone again in this life. Fortunately, God had eyes and brought the person who had disappeared for more than 600 years to him.

"Zhao Youshu? We'll meet this legendary big man tomorrow." Emperor Zhongkang held his forehead and smiled lowly.

The Ninth Prince returned to the East Palace, and immediately spread out the picture scroll that Youshu gave him carefully on the table, lowered his eyes to admire it, and ordered after a while, "Pen and ink will serve you."

The maids and eunuchs standing on both sides immediately prepared pens, ink, paper and inkstone.The Ninth Prince did not smear on the painting this time, but changed to a piece of pure white rice paper to restore the beautiful dream scene last night frame by frame.He already has a solid foundation, and he can vividly recall all the scenes. It took only half an hour to draw seven or eight lifelike line drawings, and he also mixed some colored inks to make the young man piled up with clouds and black hair, jade white body, and spotted red. The scars, the corners of the eyes with fine powder and the lips dripping with blood are outlined one by one.

After relying on the emotional tide in his heart, he looked at the pictures all over the desk, and suddenly his cheeks flushed, smoke came out from the top of his head, and his lower body had a violent reaction.He immediately stroked the hem of his clothes, trying to calm it down, but suddenly found that there were many red spots dripping from the painting under his eyes.

He was still in a daze, and the maid at the side screamed, "Your Highness is not well, you have a nosebleed! This servant, please go to the imperial doctor!" After she left in a hurry, several eunuchs stepped forward to clean up for His Highness. nosebleed.

The Ninth Prince quickly covered the painting with a blank rice paper, squeezed his nose tightly, and said in a low voice, "What are you panicking, but the internal fire is serious, and it will be fine after a few nights of herbal tea. Go, call the maid back just now, Don't make the palace restless in the middle of the night."

Don't you love to make a fuss in the palace?Usually, if there is nothing to do, I have to do a few things to vent my depression. How did it change today?Although he had doubts in his heart, the eunuch did not dare to disobey his orders, and hurriedly chased him.

The Ninth Prince twisted a wet handkerchief by himself, cleaned his nose, took a quick shower, and was about to go to bed.He rolled up the paintings one by one, stuffed them into the curtain, found many clips, and hung them on the top, so that they can be seen as soon as they lie down.

Last night, he still slept very restlessly, but it wasn't because of disturbing nightmares, but because of the waves of passion that came one after another.For the first time in his life, he hoped to be immersed in a dream forever without waking up, and it was also the first time that what he felt after waking up was not fear and hesitation, but unfinished desire and nostalgia.

If one day this dream can become a reality, let alone keep him from sleeping peacefully every night, even if he dies... in Youshu's body, it will be a kind of enjoyment.Thinking of this, the Ninth Prince covered his flushed cheeks and smiled foolishly.The current him, where he is still aloof and aristocratic, is a green young man troubled by love. His life, which was originally haggard, is now full of light, heat and sweetness.

Tonight, instead of dawdling and refusing to get on the bed, he hid in the tent before the hour came, preparing to create another beautiful dream.However, the more he stared at the painting, the hotter his body became, and the place was full of energy and couldn't be dispelled, so he had to cover his face and think wildly, and accidentally remembered the kiss that Youshu stole, and he was full of emotions immediately, and his mood was hard to calm down.

At the same time, Youshu was catching fireflies in the yard with a few boys.There was a glass bottle tied around his waist, which was shining with fluorescent light bit by bit, looking like a strange lantern.When her son was playful, Wang didn't stop her, and stood under the corridor to point the way for her son, "Shu'er, look at the other side of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, there are a lot of them."

Youshu nodded, walked over and tapped lightly among the treetops with a bamboo pole, and sure enough, many green fireflies flew away, flickering and extinguishing, and the fleeting light was so beautiful.

Wang and the servants were dumbfounded, but Youshu suddenly became vigilant.He felt dozens of strange breaths suddenly appearing in the yard, guarding every main path one by one. This feeling was very similar to those hidden guards who followed the master in the previous life.

Was it sent by the master?He secretly guessed, and went to catch fireflies again.The little ghost who was gathered by him also immediately reported back the news of the stranger's invasion, and added, "My lord, a woman named Youshu came to the east courtyard. She is a bit weird. You must be careful."

Could it be that the woman named Youshu is the "zombie" during the day?Youshu suddenly became nervous.He knew that there should be no zombies in this world, and the woman was probably a monster.Monsters are thousands of times more difficult to deal with than ghosts, and Youshu has never encountered them before, so she has little experience.

It's always shallow on paper.Although he has read a lot of books about catching monsters and ghosts, he doesn't have much confidence to practice it.What's important is that he hasn't figured out the real shape of the woman until now, so he doesn't know her weakness.

"Do you know who she is?" He used his mental power to communicate with the kid.

"I don't know. She is very hostile, and she can see ghosts. Even if she is several meters away, she can feel a great threat, so she dare not approach her when she is young." The little ghost looked ashamed.He has practiced Taoism for nearly a hundred years, but he is still afraid of a woman, which shows that women are not simple.

Youshu silently waved her hand to show that she knew.Zombies, mutated plants, and mutated beasts are everywhere in the last days. He has long been used to it, but an unknown monster can't scare him.Come and come, he just continues.

Thinking of this, he continued to catch fireflies leisurely, collected two big pots before taking them back to the house, and waved to Fang Liang, "Come down."

There was no movement on the beam for a long time, so he took out a piece of rice paper, wrote a few words slowly, and said, "Come down, I have something I want to give to your master overnight." The concealment of these people is very familiar, familiar It seems that it came from 600 years ago, and I don't know how the master kept these forces.

A little dust fell on the beam, and a man in black appeared in the room in the blink of an eye, half kneeling and saluting, but did not speak.

It really is the master's hand. He thought it was surveillance 600 years ago, but now he understands that it is actually a kind of protection.You Shu originally thought that no one would love her, but suddenly looking back, she realized that he was loved so deeply, so deeply.There was a small stabbing pain in his heart, he rubbed his chest, then rubbed his sore nose, and said in a muffled voice, "Tell your master to let him sleep well."

The man in black responded hurriedly, took the jar and the note and fled into the night.Youshu stood by the window and watched for a long time, then went out, set up several protective magic circles at the door of Wang's and Zhao Zhizhou's rooms, and set up a warning circle at the door of her own room, and then sat by the candlelight wait.

In the East Palace, the Ninth Prince was still staring at the paintings and tossing and turning, when he heard slight footsteps outside, he immediately opened the curtain and half sat up.

"Why are you back?" He asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, my young master ordered my subordinates to bring you some things." The man in black respectfully handed over the things in his hand, and was about to raise his head when he heard a lazy whisper from above, "The last thing you shouldn't look at Don't look at it."

The man in black froze in his heart, and hurriedly lowered his head even lower, but he didn't realize that there were many lingering scrolls pasted on the curtain of the master's tent.

The Ninth Prince was still a little surprised and displeased, but after seeing the contents of the jar and the contents of the note, he was full of joy.He held the jar like a child and refused to let go. He read the note again and again, looking like he was about to see through it.

"My ability is limited. I can't pick the stars in the sky. I can only give you the fireflies on the ground. I hope you will sleep peacefully and be healthy in the future. In addition, fireflies only have a lifespan of five days. Let them go after seeing them for a day or two." Well, there will be more beautiful scenery in the coming year——Youshu."

There were only three or two sentences written on the note, and the wording was very ordinary, but it made the Ninth Prince's eyes feel hot and his heart warmed.He folded the note carefully and stuffed it into his purse, and pressed it under the pillow. His voice was unknowingly softer, "Only these two things? Nothing more?"

The man in black thought for a while, and said, "Young master, I want you to sleep well."

"Okay, I'm going to bed right now. When you go back, tell him that I'm already lying down, so let him go to bed early too." The Ninth Prince immediately turned around and got on the couch. He was never so obedient even in front of Emperor Zhongkang. As he was about to leave, he asked again, "How did he find you? Has he ever expressed dissatisfaction?"

The man in black cupped his hands, "I don't know how the young master found us, and I don't see any dissatisfaction."

If you're never dissatisfied, that's fine.Only then did the Ninth Prince feel completely relieved, and waved the people away. As for how Youshu discovered the hidden guard, it didn't matter.He covered the curtain carefully, opened the jar, and released the fireflies.The bright green and speckled spots danced and circled within the bright yellow curtain for a moment, fell on the hair, and stopped on the scroll, setting off the sweltering night like a fantasy.

The Ninth Prince always thought that last night was the most beautiful scene he had ever experienced, but only now did he realize that there was something even more beautiful waiting behind.As Youshu said in her letter - there will be more beautiful scenery in the coming year.As long as he is still by his side, there will always be more beautiful and magnificent scenery.

The restless mood and surging emotion slowly calmed down in the dancing light, he closed his eyelids unconsciously, fell into a deep sleep, and there was an extremely rare smile on the corner of his mouth.

The man in black returned to Zhao's mansion and brought his master's words to him, and Youshu then blew out the candles and went to sleep on the couch.The man in black was still a little hesitant, but when he saw him pointing at the top, as if asking him why he hadn't returned to his seat, he jumped onto the beam nimbly.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow rushed into Youshu's room quickly, and raised the curtain with sharp and sharp claws.There were more than a dozen hidden guards inside and outside the courtyard, but none of them noticed, even the one on the beam remained silent, as if he hadn't seen anything.

A corner of the crimson curtain was gently lifted, and the black shadow was about to get in, but saw many bright green light spots rushing towards him, and he turned sideways to avoid while feeling terrified.It was too late and then soon, a cold light appeared immediately after the light spot, piercing towards the black shadow's head, in the blink of an eye, the black figure finally saw clearly that the light spots were many fireflies, but the cold light was the one held in the young man's hand. dagger.

How did he know that I would come and was already prepared to fight back?Suspicious in his heart, Hei Ying dodged the knife on the head and dodged behind the young man, but was caught by his tail and slammed into the wall. He was stabbed in the abdomen immediately, followed by another knife in the head, and then one knife after another, as fast as Lightning, endlessly.

Hei Ying didn't know that mortal weapons could pierce his flesh, and he didn't know what was wrong with the boy. He didn't pierce anywhere, but he liked to pierce his head. The viciousness seemed to dig out his brain.It was in excruciating pain and frantically dodged, and finally broke free the moment the boy raised his hand, smashed open the window and fled quickly.

Youshu is not a mutant of strength and speed, and naturally, when she is exhausted, stabbing hundreds of times in a row is the limit, and she can no longer hold on.He rubbed his sore wrist and slowly paced around the room.The walls, floor tiles, curtains, and desks were all stained with black and red blood, and there was a foul smell. There was also an invisible aura floating in the air, which was very similar to the blinding tricks of ghosts.

No wonder the hidden guards didn't move, presumably they were confused.He lit the candle, carefully wiped off the blood on the dagger with a silk cloth, and tied it back to his calf.This is not an ordinary dagger, but a life-saving weapon given to him by the old man when he descended the mountain. The handle and body of the knife are engraved with attack runes, which can kill most evil spirits and ghosts in the world.

The monster just now looks like a vulpe, like a calf, but its body is not covered with fur, but a layer of rotting flesh that has long since festered, it looks very creepy.Youshu tried hard to recall the contents of "Yaoxiezhi" in her mind, but she couldn't find any species similar to it.

What exactly is it?Where is the weakness?His brain was stabbed all over the ground by himself, and he still had the strength to escape!Youshu stepped on the red, white and white puddles of fleshy foam on the ground, her expression was very solemn, and she was relieved when she thought that it had escaped and might die on the way.

He quickly drew a few cleansing symbols and pasted them all over the room. The dots of purple fire burned away the blood, rotten meat, and stench one by one, as if nothing had happened.

Waking up the next day, Youshu father and son were called by Mrs. Zhao to the main hall for questioning.Mrs. Zhao's face was very gloomy, Mrs. Zhao and the Erfang family were sitting next to her.Zhao Yusong's eyes were red and he looked haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Come and sit down." After the father and son had finished their salutes, Mrs. Zhao said slowly, "Are you doing something about your transfer recently?"

Zhao Zhizhou cupped his hands, and was about to say that he didn't need to bother his father, so he listened to him and said, "No need to jump up and down to attract people's attention, my father has already arranged for you a job as the prefect of Yunzhou, and you can leave in a few days. You can rest assured these days Stay at home and teach your son well."

The magistrate of Yunzhou is a hard job second only to the magistrate of Shuzhou!The old lady can't wait to distribute Dafang's family!Zhao Zhizhou looked at the smug old lady, and at the second brother who had an indifferent expression, and suddenly trembled with anger.

Just as he was about to refute a few words, a few officials came outside, saying that Zhao Zhizhou's transfer document had come down, and the emperor ordered him to immediately go to the household department to take up his post.Mrs. Zhao took the official document in surprise, but saw four large characters written on it brightly - Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he has been on a steady rise from the Zhizhou of the fifth rank to the servant of the household department of the third rank.Due to the frequent urging by the official errand, Mrs. Zhao was full of words in her throat and could not vomit out, so she had to watch the boss walk out with her head held high.Immediately afterwards, a few eunuchs came outside the house, saying that His Highness Ninth Prince sent them to invite Young Master Zhao. From now on, Young Master Zhao will be His Highness Ninth Prince's companion, and must enter the palace every day.

This time, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were even more speechless.They can't disobey His Majesty and His Highness' will, can they?These two are the masters of Xia Qiguo.

Youshu didn't care how ugly the faces of the people in the hall were, she picked up the box she had prepared and walked out, but was stopped by the excited Zhao Yusong, who cursed in a low voice, "Your Highness is not easy to serve, Zhao Youshu, I'll wait for you!" Let's see what happens to you."

Youshu glanced at him lightly, then continued walking forward.He never paid attention to this kind of cat and dog who bit people indiscriminately.

If the young man scolded him, Zhao Yusong might feel better, but the young man turned a blind eye to him, which made him almost go crazy, and chased after him and hurriedly said, "Do you think you are me and Xue Wangjing? You have been serving His Highness for more than ten years. Is nothing wrong? Let me tell you, Xue Wangjing saved His Highness’s life when he was young, and I am the future husband-in-law of Princess Mingzhu, so we can sit firmly as companions. Princess Mingzhu, do you know? My direct sister, as long as she is here, His Highness will not despise me!"

The more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case, and his anxious face could not help but ease down.

Youshu had already walked outside the second door, pointing without looking back, "It's strange, aren't you already rejected by now?"

Zhao Yusong was so angry that he jumped, but he couldn't shout in front of the servants of the Eastern Palace, so he could only turn around with gritted teeth.Over the years, relying on his outstanding looks, a little talent, and his dual identities as the companion of His Highness Ninth Prince and the consort of Princess Pearl, he has been sought after by many people, and his disposition has long been spoiled. Not the slightest setback.

Once such a person falls, it may be difficult to get up again, so Youshu doesn't take him seriously at all.

A group of people walked around the corridor and walked through the garden, and saw many servants surrounded in front of them, noisy and chaotic.Zhao Zhizhou took a look from a distance, and found that it was his second nephew and his wife who were fighting, so he wanted to avoid it.Although Zhao Yulin was the second child, he got married earlier than Zhao Yusong, because Zhao Yusong had already been favored by Princess Mingzhu, and he had to wait for her to get married before he could get married.

Seeing the second nephew's daughter-in-law grabbing her husband's ear and then pulling a beautiful woman's hair, swearing fiercely, Zhao Zhizhou already understood what was going on, and hurriedly dragged his son to a few steps to avoid getting involved in right and wrong.Youshu looked back as she walked, with a serious expression on her face.

Based on the scent, he already knew that the monster last night was the woman named You Shu. He thought she had injured her head and was doomed to death, but unexpectedly, after seeing her today, she was not only alive and well, but also unscathed , Full of energy.What kind of terrible resilience is this?What kind of profound Taoism is it?

Youshu's eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips raised slightly. Instead of feeling scared, she was a little excited to try.The first time I met a monster was this kind of special species, so I will definitely be able to use it to practice my skills.At present, the monster does not know that he can distinguish its human form, so it can be said that the enemy is open and the enemy is dark, which makes it more interesting.

Today's court meeting is very unusual. His Royal Highness Gein Jiu is standing in the row of princes and listening with lowered eyes, with a very peaceful expression.He never satirized or teased any courtier, never got angry for no reason, and never left halfway.At the end of the court meeting, he even stood at the gate of the hall, talked with Xue Shizi for a while, and even laughed a few times.

Seeing his gentle smile, the courtiers seemed to have seen a ghost, and they walked swaying.

"What kind of panacea did His Highness Jiu take today? He actually stood at the court meeting for an hour?" Someone secretly asked.

"How do I know? Lord Zhu and Lord Li are both fighting in the hall, and he doesn't think they are noisy, and even helped to say a few words. It's strange, it's really strange."

"If this happens every day, Xia Qi Guozuo will be saved!"

"Yes, yes." This sentence was immediately recognized by many people.

Xue Wangjing followed His Highness Ninth Highness and walked quickly up to the study room, feeling rather complicated.He thought it was a catastrophe for His Highness to fall in love with You Shu, and he might do something foolish in order to please the beauty, but now looking at it again, he suddenly realized that it was a great blessing.With Youshu, His Highness can sleep peacefully at night and be happy during the day, and his mind calms down unconsciously.Now he is calm and introverted, modest and restrained, and he really has some shadows of Zong Shengdi.

While thinking wildly, he tripped over the steps and looked up, His Highness Ninth Prince had already walked far away, his footsteps seemed fast and messy.Today, Youshu will come to read with you, no wonder he can't wait, if he didn't want Youshu to sleep well, maybe he would send his attendants to Zhao's mansion to pick him up before the court meeting started.

In the upper study room, the Seventh and Eighth Princes were already sitting on their seats and reciting a book. When they heard the sound of footsteps and looked back, they almost jumped up in fright.Why is Brother Nine Emperors here?The number of times he went into the study these years can be counted by slap. The main task of Zhao Yusong and Xue Wangjing is to watch him and not let him hurt themselves, but they never accompany him in class seriously.

Is the sun coming out from the west today?
