[Ming] Wuzong's Chronicle of Rebirth

When Du Ruo returned to Beijing, it happened to be a heavy snow day, with gloomy black clouds and heavy snow, and there were very few pedestrians on the road.Although the weather was not good, Zhu Houzhao left the city early to meet him in advance.

As soon as the battle was over, Du Ruo's soldiers returned to their original places, leaving only a hundred or so inner guards Du Ruo brought with him when he left Beijing and more than 200 homeless King Ning's rebels.As soon as the group entered the city gate, Du Ruo was stopped when they were checking, and someone led them to the city tower.Entering the inner room, before he could react, a warm body bumped into his arms, it wasn't Zhu Houzhao or anyone else.

The skin on the neck was in close contact, and Zhu Houzhao's hands wrapped around his waist. Du Ruo felt that the fatigue from the journey had disappeared. "Thanks for your hard work." Zhu Houzhao murmured in his ear, hugged Du Ruo violently, shook Du Ruo, and smiled while Du Ruo frowned: "You've lost weight."

Du Ruo smiled helplessly, pressed a kiss on Du Ruo's lips, pushed Zhu Houzhao away and said, "Okay, I didn't take a bath on this trip, it's dirty."

"I don't think you're dirty." Although he said so, Zhu Houzhao let him go, and turned around to take the silky chicken soup stewed with Cordyceps flower and lily that he had prepared earlier. "Drink something, it's so cold on the way, go back to the greenhouse for a while, you should catch a cold. The people following are still waiting behind, so I won't go back with you. You drink this, go first One step, I'll see you again tonight."

The soup in the bowl looked strange in color, but Zhu Houzhao put so much effort into it, and Du Ruo couldn't resist, so he gritted his teeth and poured it down, and it tasted surprisingly good.Seeing that he really finished drinking, he still smiled silly at himself which is rare.Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and rushed forward again. Du Ruo was hit by him and almost dropped the bowl on the ground.

"What's wrong with you?" Du Ruo hurriedly put down the bowl, and hugged Zhu Houzhao in his arms.

Zhu Houzhao leaned against his arms with his eyes closed, and sighed, "I'm tired." The three major events were over, and the ministers quarreled every day over the matter of meritorious service and rewards.They quarreled in the cabinet on days when they were not in court, and quarreled in the court hall on days when they were in court. The quarrels made people's eardrums hurt, and there was no result from the quarrels.

Coupled with the fact that the reform of the support of the clan titles is gradually taking shape, Zhu Houzhao feels that he is almost overwhelmed by the zhezi.Every day, every day, he is broken into several pieces and used, which is unbearable for anyone.The physical exhaustion can still be tolerated, but the mental exhaustion always wants to tell others.Of course Du Ruo is the best candidate for Zhu Houzhao to confide in, but he is thousands of miles away.I can't get it if I miss it, let alone other things.

Now that Du Ruo is back, Zhu Houzhao just wants to rely on Du Ruo with all his heart, and don't care about these crap anymore.

Du Ruo has just read the report, and knows that everything in Beijing is chaotic.For other things, I can't help Zhu Houzhao, so it's okay to give him a hug.

After being gentle for a while, Zhu Houzhao came out of Du Ruo's arms, feeling much better. "Okay, let's go, see you tonight."

Du Ruo tucked Zhu Houzhao's fox fur coat, and said with a smile, "Don't come here at night. Anyway, I'm going to go to the palace to ask for favor after I pack up. I'm not going out of the palace tonight."

That's fine, Zhu Houzhao didn't refuse, sent Du Ruo out the door, sat down by himself, poured himself a bowl of soup, savored it carefully, and showed a rare smile in the past few days on his face.

Du Ruo went to the Ministry of War to pay a job, and asked the people in the Ministry of War to click on the Mao and hand in the Tiger Talisman, and then went back to the Duke's Mansion to freshen up.

When the father of his country came back from the war, Du Lin wept with joy and tears.Du Ruo managed to persuade him and sent him to arrange Du Sheng's residence.

In order to escape, Du Sheng shaved himself a big bald head, and the stubble had just grown out. With that extremely beautiful face, he didn't look like an eminent monk at all, but more like a flower monk who sleeps flowers and lies on willows.There were also many people in the army who attacked him on his idea, and those who teased him with words were either beaten to the ground by Du Sheng, or blocked back by Du Sheng's cheap mouth.

Seeing Du Lin staring at himself in surprise, Du Sheng gestured a Namasto, and said frivolously, "I've been through wine and meat, and the Buddha kept it in my heart! Does the chief executive know?" He looked like a demon monk, frightened Du Lin so much that he didn't dare to look at him again.

After eating lunch, Du Ruo probably looked at the backlog of books in the past few months. Seeing that the time was almost up, he packed up his things, brought the real estate instrument he had prepared, and entered the palace in a carriage.

Zhu Youtang and Zhang Shi have just reconciled, and now it happens to be like mixing oil with honey.Although the two of them didn't flirt, they acted like a young couple making fun of each other. Du Ruo smiled faintly, but didn't dare to laugh out loud.Although Zhu Youtang relapsed from his old illness because of the cold weather, he could only half-ly lie on the bed to meet people.But because of this stubble, his complexion is good, even better than in previous years.

Du Ruo didn't want to be a light bulb between the two of them. Zhu Youtang and Zhang's husband and wife thought that he and Zhu Houzhao hadn't seen each other for a long time.Mrs. Zhang didn't keep him for a meal, and Du Ruo didn't keep him too much.

During the short journey from Weiyang Palace to Qianqing Palace, Du Ruo held the glazed lamp, looked at the white snow and red walls on both sides, breathed in the cool air, felt refreshed, and walked a little lightly.He was a martial artist, and he was wearing thick leather boots. He walked so fast and steadily that the little eunuch behind him couldn't even keep up.Seeing that Du Ruo was about to disappear, the little eunuch had no choice but to wipe the sweat from his forehead and shouted: "Master, please slow down!" Du Ruo finally came to his senses and apologized: "Elder-in-law, I'm sorry. I am in a hurry to see the emperor!"

Seeing that he stopped, the little eunuch hurried to catch up, and said with a smile: "It's okay. The emperor is waiting for the Duke. The Duke didn't see the emperor's restlessness today, and he was thinking of you!"

When Du Ruo heard this, she felt sweet in her heart, but she smiled and said nothing.

Walking past the snow-covered white marble stairs in front of Qianqing Palace, Jing Lian had already been waiting there. He took off Du Ruo's cloak and bamboo hat, and led Du Ruo in. Zhu Houzhao had already been waiting there with a smile on his face.

"It's so cold, I still need a warm quilt, would you like it?"

The ground dragon is burning warmly in the room, and the walls exude the fragrance of prickly ash.Zhu Houzhao has black hair loose, holds a book in his hand, and is lying there in a moon-white jacket. His skin is fair and his eyes are full of autumn water.Du Ruo only felt his throat tighten, but there was still a smile on his face, "The villain is willing to warm the bed for the nobleman. It's just that the villain hasn't washed up yet, so I wonder if the nobleman is willing to comb the hair and change clothes for the villain?"

Seeing him like this, Zhu Houzhao snorted and clapped his hands. The eunuchs filed in, and there were a lot of things to wash and wash.Zhu Houzhao got up resignedly to wash and change Du Ruo's clothes.Wait until the smell of snow water on Du Ruo's body is washed off.It was not until dinner came in from outside.

Anticipating what would happen next, Zhu Houzhao ordered light liquid food.Du Ruo saw that he had a bowl of ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup, but his side only had porridge and side dishes, and felt helpless and funny in his heart.

On the second day, the snow was clear and the sky was clear. Du Ruo opened his eyes and saw that there was white skylight outside the cellophane, and the translucent glass-covered headlights reflected the golden yellow of the room. The golden light hurt his eyes a little.Zhu Houzhao felt his movement, and hid in his arms again, Du Ruo didn't dare to move for a moment.

Jing Lian came in lightly, the shoes made no sound in the plush carpet.He removed the lanterns on the big table in front of the window, saw Du Ruo opened his eyes and bowed his legs in a salute.Du Ruo nodded to show that he understood.As soon as he moved, Zhu Houzhao, the ancestor, became unhappy again, and hid inside.

The emperor was disturbed, Jinglian was terrified, he got rid of the candles with two strokes, and hurried out.

After Jing Lian left, Du Ruo revealed a look of pain.Zhu Houzhao's movement just happened to let him be taken care of from top to bottom, and when a man is most sensitive in the morning, Zhu Houzhao's teasing would definitely make him angry.

After taking two deep breaths, Zhu Houzhao moved even more violently. Du Ruo was afraid of waking him up again, so he froze there.He was feeling very uncomfortable, Du Ruo turned over and laughed out loud.

"Okay! You!" Du Ruo turned over directly, pressed Zhu Houzhao under him, and tickled him.Zhu Houzhao said to Rao: "Don't... don't... I'm wrong, can't I?"

Du Ruo just let him go, put his hands on Zhu Houzhao's sides and fixed his eyes on him, but the more he looked at him, the more he felt that his emperor looked really good.Zhu Hou took care of him to stay there, the wind blew into the quilt and it was chilly, so he put his hands around Du Ruo's neck, pulled him down, and kissed him.

When the two of them got up, it was already high in the sun, and they were packed sticky. When they came out, Jing Lian directed the little eunuch to carry two red plums in full bloom into the house.Zhu Houzhao took one and compared it with the mark on Du Ruo's neck.

I'm used to Zhu Houzhao being so unruly, so Du Ruo didn't speak and let him make trouble.But Jing hurriedly winked and asked the little eunuch to put it away quickly.The emperor and this master are intimate regardless of the occasion, the masters don't shy away from it, but their slaves should avoid it, otherwise they won't know how they will die when the time comes.

After breakfast, Du Ruo was busy with Zhu Houzhao approving all the less important memorials.With Du Ruo's help, Zhu Houzhao finally relaxed a lot.If you have time, you can get bored with Du Ruo.After finally surviving until noon, Jinglian came in and reported that the Weiyang Palace invited the emperor and the Duke to have a meal.

The snow outside is still deep, and I haven't had time to clean it up.Zhu Houzhao called the sedan chair and Du Ruo went to Weiyang Palace together.

When they arrived at Weiyang Palace, as soon as they opened the heavy curtain and went in, four pairs of eyes, large and small, stared at the two of them. Du Ruo and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, not knowing why.
