Lanling

With a bit of sullen expression on his face, Shangguan Yu looked at the eunuchs in the palace and said, "What's the matter, so urgent?"

"Report to the emperor, please see me anonymously!"

"Please!" Shangguan Yu smiled immediately.

Wuming appeared in front of Shangguan Yu in a light black outfit, kowtowed and saluted, "Your servant sees the emperor!"

"Forget it, let's get back down!" Shangguan Yu pushed back the people around him and personally received Wuming.

"How are things going?"

"Your Majesty, forgive me for my incompetence. I did find a man named Ye Ming, but none of them was over eight feet tall, and the tallest was no more than seven feet tall. And all of them were ugly, with black eyes."

Shangguan Yu said softly: "I don't blame you, since you can't find out, don't go any further and investigate another person for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wuming exited the emperor's bedroom, and left the palace with a few light jumps.

Shangguan Yu rubbed his eyebrows, sighed slightly, "I miss you every day, but I don't see you."

"Your Majesty, who are you thinking of?" A little eunuch suddenly came up to share the Emperor's worries, and beat his back with a smile.

"An old friend."

"Then it's better for the emperor to order that person into the palace to meet with you, wouldn't it be great?"

"Unfortunately, that person is nowhere to be found, as if the world has evaporated." Shangguan Yu waved his hand to signal him to go out.

Seeing that the emperor didn't want to talk anymore, the little eunuch didn't dare to disturb him, so he closed the door and went out.

The palace has high walls and fortified barriers.Shangguan Yu has almost never had a good night's sleep since he ascended the throne, but he was born with a good skin. However, he only took in one concubine, and she was extremely ugly. She was a peasant woman, but she was very skillful, and she often made things for him, but he never touched her, so everyone thought he had a part in it. Taozhi suspected that he actually liked men and the person he liked was still missing, but this time he was reborn in the emperor's house, he had to be worried and always pay attention to the movements of the people below.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhang please see me!"

"Master Zhang? Which Master Zhang?"

"Prime Minister Zhang!"

This Zhang Mingying was still not reconciled, and wanted to kiss her again for her daughter.

"Let's just say I'm tired and already asleep."

"But your majesty, Mr. Zhang said that if your majesty doesn't see him, he won't go back tonight."

Shangguan Yu was upset, "Let him in!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Mingying is the prime minister personally appointed by Shangguan Wen. He has always been conscientious and meticulous in the affairs of the court. He has never made a mistake. He is a good official who loves the people. However, such a person is also annoying. The last court is "Emperor, if you don't get married and have children, I'm afraid I will let the late emperor down."

"Minister Zhang Mingying kowtows to the emperor!"

"Ai Qing is flat." Shangguan Yu had to smile at this upright official.

"Your Majesty, you are still reviewing memorials at such a late hour, you are really diligent and caring for the people!"

"What's the matter, love?"

"Oh, Your Majesty, I have recently arranged for the Ministry of Household Affairs to draft girls for the Emperor. I wonder when the Emperor will meet you?"

"The matter of show girls, let the prime minister decide."

"However, it's better for the emperor to meet in person."

"I'm busy with court affairs."

"It's okay, although these things are important, the emperor's wedding and childbirth are even more important for the country, so don't be careless!"

"Zhang Aiqing, does your family have a daughter?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the little girl is now at the age of Ji."

"For the draft, let Ling Ai also participate."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then what else?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor must choose the draft himself, otherwise it will be meaningless."

"Why is it meaningless? How about you let the queen mother choose?"

"The empress dowager is old and can't see things with her eyes. She has ignored this matter for a long time. I'm afraid the emperor will have to come in person."

Shangguan Yu finally lost to this Zhang Mingying, surrendered and said: "Okay, let's do as Aiqing said, let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare, and I will go there in person when the time comes."

Zhang Mingying was overjoyed, "Then the emperor rested earlier, pay attention to the dragon's body, and I will leave!"

Shangguan Yuchang let out a long breath, half-lyed on the dragon chair, stretched out his hand and crumpled up the word "Jing" that he had just written and threw it on the ground. The little eunuch beside him was startled, and quickly knelt down and said, "You slave should die!" !"

"It's none of your business! Kneel down!"

"But your majesty, don't you want someone to sleep with you?"

"No need."

Shangguan Yu sat there, thinking about the man named "Chimu" in his heart, with a high nose and deep eyes, black hair and blue eyes, slender eyelashes, and a height of more than eight feet. In addition to his behavior and clothing, he was the same as Ye Ming Almost exactly the same, but why doesn't that person have Ye Ming's memory?

After thinking about it in the middle of the night, I finally fell asleep.

In the early morning, the rooster crowed, and he woke up early again. He was dim outside the window, and before dawn, it was extremely quiet, but he couldn’t fall asleep lying on the bed, so he turned over, sat at the desk in a dragon robe, picked up a brush and wrote: "Last night, the east wind blew up, and the quilt felt cold. I miss you and don't see you, and the cock crows again and again. I don't have wings, how can I understand?"

He coughed lightly, but it attracted attention. An old eunuch knocked on the door from outside, "Your Majesty, are you awake?"

"Wuxi, come in." Wuxi is Shangguanwen's imperial eunuch. He is cautious in his words and deeds, considerate in doing things, never chews his tongue, and has followed him to death without any mistakes. Now Shangguanyu is also taking care of him. With a little admiration, although he is a slave, he has an exquisite heart.

Wuxi opened the door and came in. Seeing that Shangguan Yu was only wearing a coat, he couldn't help but feel distressed, and brought him a big cloak to put on, "The emperor still needs to focus on the dragon's body."

"Wuxi, what do you think is the most important thing in this world?"

"The emperor is saying that the slave will return you?"

"Let's talk about it."

"If you want to talk about the servant himself, the servant is old now and can't stand the toss. It's better not to have any diseases and grow old naturally. That's the best. If you want to talk about the emperor, the servant dare not speak nonsense."

"I allow you to tell."

"That servant dared to speculate. For the emperor, the country and the country are the most important first, and the second is the continuous succession of royal heirs. Or both are equally important, otherwise the emperor will feel that something is missing if one is missing."

Shangguan Yu listened to the old eunuch's words, although he was right, but he was not a member of the royal family in the first place, so why did he insist on accomplishing these great things?He had no intention of being coerced into this royal family, but he couldn't get out now, so he had to be led by the nose.

"Okay, you go down first."

"The emperor should go to the dragon bed to rest for a while, and he will go to court soon."

Shangguan Yu did not go back to rest, but continued to look at the books on the art of war at the desk. He thought that he would send troops to attack soon after he came to the Chi Kingdom.

early morning.

Shangguan Yu heard Prime Minister Zhang Mingying talk about the draft again, and all the ministers also said that the emperor should leave an heir early to deal with unexpected events, so he suddenly became angry.

"Do you really think I'm going to die soon?"

"I dare not wait!" The ministers knelt down, their heads like pounding garlic.

Shangguan Yu retreated angrily, returned to the bedroom, and summoned Zhang Mingying.

No matter how senior Zhang Mingying was, she was still afraid of Long Yan's fury. At this moment, she was suddenly summoned, and she was terrified. She knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed, "I bow to the emperor!"

"Aiqing is flat."

Seeing Shangguan Yu's calm tone, Zhang Mingying felt confident.

"I don't know why the emperor summoned the humble minister for something important?"

"Aiqing, how is the affair with the show girl going?"

Zhang Mingying was overjoyed, "Report to the emperor, you will be able to enter the palace soon."

"Okay, how many people are there in total?"

"There are about thirty or so, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers and jade."

"Really? Let's enter the palace as soon as possible to be a candidate. Chuxiu Palace now asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up quickly."

"It's the emperor, I will definitely do it!"

"By the way, let Wuming also participate."

nameless?Zhang Mingying was slightly surprised, "But Your Majesty, Wuming is just a little eunuch, how can he participate in such a thing?"

"I have just been promoted to his official rank, a first-rank eunuch, and he will always follow me in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"It's okay to back down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

As soon as Zhang Mingying left, Shangguan Yu changed into plain clothes, but Wuming immediately said: "Your Majesty, you can't leave the palace anymore!"

"what happened?"

"The servant has already found out some clues. There are spies from the Chi Kingdom entering the imperial city. I'm afraid it will be dangerous!"

"It's okay, aren't you by my side?"

"But Your Majesty, it's not too late to go out until the spies are caught, and Mr. Zhang always goes to court from time to time, I'm afraid it will make people in the palace suspicious."

"It's okay, I'll be back in a while."

"But--"

"Don't talk about it, I have already made a decision, you are ready to accompany me out of the palace!"

"It's the emperor!"

Shangguan Yu was dressed in a blue gown, a black fox coat, a folding fan in his hand, and black duck-leather boots, and Wuming quietly left the palace through the side door.

The two rode horses and galloped all the way. They dismounted at the back door of the tavern on Fuyuan Street, and Ping Xin immediately greeted them.

"The shopkeeper, here we come!"

"Well, is that person here?"

"It's been a long time since I've been here. It's really sad to hear that the shopkeeper is not here!"

"Okay, wait for me for a while and let him in."

"Yes!"

Pingxin and Wuming entered the main entrance of the izakaya, while Shangguanyu entered the back room, changed into white clothes, and tied a white ribbon on his head. At this time, he was Lanling.

"Go in, Mr. Chimu, our shopkeeper welcomes you!" After finishing his words in peace, Duanmucheng got up and went into the back room.

"Akagi, wait for a long time."

"Not long, just arrived." Duanmucheng's face was a little shy.

"Come on, sit down here." Lan Ling offered his seat to him.

Duanmucheng stepped forward and sat down on the chair next to him.When I came in last time, there was still a couch inside, but this time the couch was gone, and there were two more rose chairs. For some reason, Duanmucheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Ling personally poured him a cup of tea, which was the best Longjing tea.A scent of tea wafted over, Duanmucheng reached out to take the cup of tea, and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Mr. Lanling!"

"Hey? Did Akagi forget?"

Duanmucheng quickly changed his words: "Lanling."

"That's right, Chimu and I hit it off right away, and it's also fate that we became friends."

"Yes, fate." Duanmucheng couldn't find a suitable answer, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Ke Lanling quickly changed the subject, "Chimu, it seems that you haven't answered my last question."

"what is the problem?"

"What kind of man do you like?" Lanling's black eyes suddenly approached, making it difficult for Duanmucheng to breathe.

"This, I don't know yet." Duanmucheng hesitated, suddenly felt as if he was bewitched by the beautiful man in front of him, he had never felt such a feeling of being at a loss and unable to control.

"Oh? Then what do you think of me?" Lan Ling asked.

Duanmucheng's blue eyes were slightly startled, looking at him, he was speechless.

Lan Ling avoided his eyes, nodded and smiled, raised his head to sip from the celadon teacup on the table, pursed his red lips lightly, "It seems that Akagi has no interest in me."

"Ah, no!"

"Oh? That's intentional."

Duanmucheng was speechless again, "That, I don't know!"

Lan Ling's body trembled with laughter, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Next time you come, I'll teach you how to make wine, okay?"

"Okay, what about this time?"

"I can't teach you this time, I have other things, please go back."
