Am I a scumbag?

A few more days.

After Yan Yuliang returned to Beijing, he actually devoted himself to guarding Lan Wang and didn't want to take care of things, but a lot of things still happened to him.As big as a country is, there are good and bad all the time.What kind of corruption and fraud case happened, next door Yingzhou was plagued by locusts, the Luoshui Canal was finally built, and Princess Ying gave birth to another...

The king of a country is really busy.

Yan Yuliang looked at the mountain of memorials beside the case and often sighed, and then looked eagerly at the Sleeping Beauty on the bed.Thinking of the days when they cuddled together to review chapters, when will he wake up?

The maid Ying'er came in and brought a new inner garment for Lan Wang to replace.

The cherry-white silk was stained with orchid fragrance, Yan Yuliang now knew what this person liked.Every time, I would tell him to wash his clothes for him.

Recently, tea conversations and notebooks about Shilu have become popular in Beijing and China. The story of this man is so pleasant. Every day, the teahouse is full of guests, and they take turns ordering the young general to capture Beimo King seven times and seven times. King Yingzhou was captured alive within three months. , Killed Chuyue King with less victories and more beheaded, and now this "legendary story that has to be told" has captured Jiaonan King with 200 lives.

The protagonist of the story, General Shi Xiao, is busy building the "Marquis of Wu'an Temple" specially built by the royal family for his elder brother Shi Yun in the most troubled area.

Bai Yu's statue of Shi Yun is exquisitely crafted, but Shi Lv is not satisfied no matter how he looks at it, and always feels that this statue is not half as good as his brother's.

Shi Lu sometimes regrets that his elder brother Shi Yun is devoted to the country but can't see the prosperity today, but most of the time he will be relieved.Since his elder brother had never deceived him since he was a child, he said that they will meet in a prosperous age one day.

At that time, he will be Shi Yun's elder brother.

Every day, he was forced to study military science to test his merits, withholding his pocket money, making him have to climb over the wall every time he went out to play, hey.Big revenge has to be reported.

Yuwen Changfeng recently went abroad again.This time, he took his foreign friend Poirot and various foreign businessmen, and dragged a long caravan to go out to the Western Regions for trade.

Xun Chang also slipped away with him, and went to Tianshan to find his master.

"Yo, the little fox is back."

Xun Chang: "..." His master, a Sanxian who can live to the death of human flesh and bones, always said that he was a fox who cultivated into a human in his previous life.

Xun Chang had no choice but to cultivate his Tianyan not very well, so he didn't know if the master was teasing him.

When he came back this time, since he hadn't visited his master for a long time, he specially brought a lot of fresh fruits and peaches to show his filial piety.The second is to seek a letter of approval for the emperor, and to ask Master why King Lan has been awake for so long, and whether he can still recover?

Master: "That person has chronic illnesses and old wounds all over his body. It will take a long time to fully recover, but it's not a problem."

"Wow, I'm relieved when Master said that!" Xun Changxi smiled, and couldn't help wagging his tail coquettishly: "Master~ Your old man saved King Lan just like you saved Ah Liang back then, so you don't have to worry about it." ? Why bother them to search for medicine for so many years, in case Ah Liang doesn't find it this time..."

The master was helpless, and said with a flick of his sleeve: "We people outside the world should not interfere with the cause and effect of the world at will. What I taught you is now returned to the master?"

"The reason why the emperor was saved back then was because he was a true dragon emperor, and his life should never have died. The reason why he didn't save Zhuang Qingqu was also because that person's fate was rough, and he needed to go all the way up the river and change his fate. "

"If he can survive the ups and downs by himself, he will have his long-cherished wish fulfilled for the rest of his life, and he will live happily ever after. If he can't overcome it, no one can help him."

Xun Chang wanted to say something again, but his master interrupted him and frowned: "Okay, let's not talk about outsiders. I see that you are covered with black and turbid air, did you go to see 'that person' again?"

Xun Chang narrowed his eyes and smiled like a little fox: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from Master. After many years, I finally caught him in Luoyun a few days ago."

His master showed displeasure: "If you really want to ascend, you should make a clean break with that evil spirit as soon as possible."

Xun Chang: "No~"

He smiled sweetly: "I have served A Liang for many years, so naturally I want to be like A Liang and Zhuang Qing Qu Jianxian, licking honey with swords and picking chestnuts from fire. I want to get along with that evil spirit for a hundred years, and at the same time I will soar happily!"

Master: "Nonsense."

Xun Chang: "Although the master said so, he also raised a cat demon who irritated people all the time, and he also said that the fairy pet who is too obedient is always uninteresting. That disciple follows the master's temperament and likes the evil spirit who is evenly matched with the three caves of the cunning rabbit." What's wrong?"

"What's more, in the future, Yaoxie will follow the disciple, and the disciple will take care of it. If he can't do harm to the world, it will be considered a great achievement by the disciple, right?"

His master looked disgusted and didn't bother to talk to him anymore, he drifted away and left a sentence: "You are so self-righteous, be careful that you stumble and be deceived by evil spirits and become someone else's furnace, then the teacher will not save you."

Xun Chang shook his head and tail.

It's really not sure who will make the furnace for whom, let alone what's wrong with the furnace?There is a saying that one can become a master only by enduring hardships, and the furnace tripod may not be the end, the furnace tripod also has the joy of the furnace tripod.

But A Liang is still great.

Knowing that his evil daughter-in-law can harm a whole lot of people wherever she is, she threw her to Luoyun early.No wonder when he and Yuwen Changfeng were in Luoyun, he felt that Luoyun had a familiar aura rushing towards his face.

I hope all this is just unintentional.Couldn't it be the foreshadowing that Ah Liang had planted long ago, and the fifth intelligence officer is his wife who caused the disaster?That Ah Liang is really scary, a mere mortal has been demonized?

Beijing.

Today, Xiao Zhou, the official historian, is memorizing daily life notes that are even worse than unofficial history.

Emperor Jin Yu sighed: "The ancients said that the virtuous and the virtuous change their appearance. It means that we should value the virtuous and despise the beautiful. It's a pity that I can't do it."

"The old man said again, action and knowledge are one. It's a pity that I still can't do it."

"But I think it's not all my fault, it should mostly be the ancients' fault. When the ancients said those words, most of them had never seen how beautiful a stunning beauty is. If the ancients had seen it, they would not easily talk nonsense like that."

Xiao Zhou tried his best to remember these golden words, but it was a pity that he could only chase the emperor outside the bedroom of Chu Wei Palace.

It's not easy to follow inside. King Lan has been sleeping inside for so many days and has not woken up. Presumably the emperor must have been anxious and uncomfortable these few days.

The emperor was very uncomfortable, but when he was overwhelmed, he continued to stand up.At the moment, he was beside the bed, muttering to turn over old scores with Lan Wang, who was still awake.

He's tried everything anyway.I have coaxed and coaxed, and I have kissed and kissed, nothing.Just get mad at him, maybe you can revive him.

Emperor Jinyu poked Lan Wang's face while nagging.

"Every day is sour. You are not happy when I look at anyone more than once. Even if someone puts up a memorial to persuade me to spread my branches and leaves, you will blame me for putting on face with me. Tell me yourself, are you still reasonable? I can still control those old-fashioned old officials? You don’t want to be my queen to stop their mouths.”

"Thoughts and twists and turns, even when I said to make the best use of some stupid things that have made mistakes, you have to follow suit. When did I 'make the best use of everything' over you? Which war was not forced by you yourself Go, I can't even stop you, did I let you go?"

"That time I blocked the arrow for you in Beijiang, you should know what I mean. But after I lost my memory, I was still so angry with me. Do you think you are not stingy?"

"When you wake up, I want you to explain it to me."

"..."

"You said before that you secretly collected a lot of things in Prince Lan's Mansion. You'd better get up early and take me to see it. Don't let me go by myself. I'm not really heartless."

"I know you like to see me in black, you wake up early, I will make it difficult for you to wear it."

"Lan Lan."

"Today is my birthday."

"Didn't you always say that it's a pity that you didn't accompany me that time when you were young, so why don't you wake up early today and accompany me?"

……

At the beginning of the candlelight, Yan Yuliang fell asleep beside King Lan.

And Zhuang Qingqu was walking on a dark road, he could vaguely hear those words, and felt annoyed and funny, but he didn't know where he was.I just felt that there seemed to be will-o'-the-wisps around me, and I was very irritable.

He looked down at his clothes, it was the black gold-patterned wide-sleeved gown he often wore in the palace, and the ugly colorful skirt woven by Yan Yuliang was on his waist, and the cordierite was rippling in his ears pendant.

nothing less.The whole body is neat, and the long hair is combed meticulously...

Colorful ropes for hair, knots.

He stopped suddenly.

He felt that he couldn't go any further, but when he turned around, there was an open fire following him all the way.He took a closer look, but it was a simple and elegant palace lantern floating in front of his eyes, as if it had a soul, it jumped up and down lively a few times, as if nodding to him.

Zhuang Qingqu picked up the palace lantern, and a very comfortable warm current flowed in.There was a slight light around him, and he heard Yan Yuliang's voice again.

This time it was close, and he was nearby.

"A Liang!"

He quickly found him and wanted to hug him, but his body pierced through Yan Yuliang's shadow.

Yan Yuliang didn't feel his presence at all, just frowned and looked around in confusion: "What the hell is this place? Could it be that I'm dreaming again?"

In just a moment, several figures suddenly appeared in front of Yan Yuliang.

One of them was particularly familiar, Zhuang Qingqu took a closer look: "Father???"

The person facing Emperor Jin Yu is really Zhuang Xinhuo.

It's a pity that old general Zhuang also regarded him as nothing, but rushed to Emperor Jinyu with dissatisfaction: "I oppose this marriage! I don't even look at how you have bullied my son Qingqu all these years, and you still want to marry him -"

Then another man's voice came: "I also oppose this marriage."

It was the former emperor Xuanming who also jumped out: "Yu Liang, you are the son of heaven, you should spread your branches and leaves to carry on the family line, how can you be ridiculous with this charming son of the Zhuang family!"

"Who are you calling foxy?!"

Emperor Xuanming was extremely jealous when he met Zhuang Xinhuo's enemy.

Zhuang Xinhuo: "The good son you raised, you really underestimated him back then. You planned to kill your other good sons, eradicated both my Zhuang family and Tantai family, and then took over and kidnapped my only son Miao Qing." Qu! The method is really amazing!"

Emperor Xuanming: "Those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. Tai|Zu Huidi Wendi Wudi, who dares to say that he has been clean all the way? Besides, don't distort the facts. It is clearly your Zhuang's boy who plotted against the second prince. Sexy seduction, you still bite back?"

As he spoke, he turned to Yan Yuliang again: "Yuliang, as the king of a country, one has to fulfill one's responsibilities, marrying a wife and having children is..."

Yan Yuliang: "Like you, you delay the person who loves you and betray the person you love, marry a wife and have children?"

"Afterwards, I regretted too much and felt sorry for myself. I couldn't love any of my heirs. Before I died, I dragged the only trusted minister and asked him to let him run away early when the country was about to end. He obviously hoped for a good summer in his heart, but ended up in such a muddleheaded way. lifetime?"

His father stopped talking.

Zhuang Xinhuo: "There are still four princes in your family, and my Zhuang family is the only son of Qing Qu! Poor parents in the world, if you treat my son sincerely, how can you bear to let the Zhuang family have no offspring?!"

Yan Yuliang: "Even if there are no descendants, the names of King Lan and I will be immortal forever. Even if the two fathers have descendants, at most in the history books, one is the useless father of Emperor Shengming Jinyu, and the other is the father of the ages. The flamboyant and domineering father of the famous official Lan Wang. The storytellers of later generations will probably only use five words when they talk about you—good bamboo shoots from bad bamboo. It is a miracle that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is not crooked."

Both Emperor Xuanming and Zhuang Xinhuo were almost choked to death.

"But with me here, I can move my fingers at that time, and let the historian write a little bit better about the two of you."

The two of them turned pale just now, and heard him continue: "I can write because I agree to stay with Concubine Zhuang, a model old father who is enlightened in Daxia—"

Emperor Xuanming was so angry that he ascended to heaven and disappeared.

Zhuang Qingqu felt distressed and funny.After laughing, he found that Yan Yuliang was gone, but his father could see him suddenly.

Zhuang Xinhuo rushed over: "Ni Zi!"

"Father," Zhuang Qingqu said, "The things about the unfilial son and Ah Zhao... The unfilial son has lived very happily these years."

Zhuang Xinhuo: "Bullshit happiness! I didn't see how the dog emperor treats you?"

"Ah Zhao treated me well."

Zhuang Xinhuo: "You you you!"

Zhuang Qingqu: "It's really good. My father only saw the bad times, but he didn't see him smiling at me. He took care of me when he was sick and injured. He was soft-hearted and indulged me infinitely. He coaxed me, spent my birthday with me, and sent me off. My gift...willing to exchange my life for me."

"On the contrary, I'm not good, if I could understand this earlier."

Zhuang Xinhuo: "..."

Zhuang Xinhuo: "I have raised you carefully for so many years. I only hope that you will marry a good wife of the right family to come in for the Zhuang family. In the end, you are lucky. What kind of scheming thing did you marry to come in? Forget it, my father is old. I can't control you as a rebellious son, you can do whatever you want!"

Zhuang Qingqu knelt down: "Thank you, father."

Zhuang Xinhuo flicked his sleeves: "The bottom line of the Zhuang family is that no one is allowed to be a concubine! Not even a queen! You have to be a famous official of a generation! A famous official!"

Zhuang Qingqu: "Yes, the unfilial son will follow the instruction."

……

When he raised his eyes again, it became dark again, but luckily the little lantern kept guiding him along the way.

In the orange light of the lantern, Zhuang Qingqu chased all the way, and finally saw the emperor again.

It's just that what he saw at the moment was a little Yan Yuliang.

He had never seen the small and cute Azhao, but now he saw him wearing coarse cotton clothes, babbling and learning to read and write.Zhuang Qingqu couldn't move his eyes from that appearance, and wanted to touch it countless times.

How could he have imagined that Ah Zhao was so stupid when he was a child, and he learned everything so slowly.It is quite different from the cleverness later.But the little things are willing to learn over and over again, and never give up.

He saw many pasts.The little second prince cried so hard at the funeral of his mother and concubine that he couldn't breathe, but after crying, he wiped away his tears and stood up.

Look at him respectfully leading the third prince.The third prince's brocade clothes and fine food were loved and favored slightly, envy and loneliness flashed slightly in his eyes, and then he shook his head and continued to work hard.

The second prince was looked down upon time and time again by his little self, but he could only helplessly shrug his shoulders and smile, and would be willing to help next time.The second prince was shivering from the cold after being deprived of his cotton clothes. While lighting a fire, he laughed at himself and seriously considered tearing down the quilt to make new clothes.

He saw the man walking on a rough and dark road.

Brothers kill each other and die, making close friends is the responsibility of powerful officials, and the beloved teacher cannot be kept.Countless blows he never gave up.

I don't know how many times I fell down along the way and got up again.Gradually grow up from a child to a teenager, from a teenager to a young man, have been sucked to the point of being covered in blood countless times, from crying to laughing, and from laughing to being calm.

In the end, I got used to falling and getting up again and again, as if I was numb and could no longer feel pain.

His gaze was firm, and he had infinite hopes for Da Xia's future.Only for himself, he no longer has any expectations.

Even though Zhuang Qingqu couldn't meet him at the moment, he stayed with him all the time.Every time he fell down, he tried to help him up. The road was so long that Zhuang Qingqu would collapse.But gradually, a smile appeared on Yan Yuliang's expressionless face.

He frowned and said, all these things are annoying to death, and there is no end.

I have to stand up, because Xiao Zhuang is waiting for me.

So he got up again, and continued to jump up and down lively and cheerfully, again and again, all the suffering was lightly brushed off by him.Even gradually, he himself felt that he was not wronged.

……

"Fortunately there is still you."

"In this world, fortunately, you still love Azhao. I don't think he can do anything, and I don't think he is omnipotent."

"My Azhao, in fact, was very stupid when I was a child...couldn't do anything."

The little lantern made a sound, it was a woman's gentle voice.Zhuang Qingqu was stunned: "Are you Concubine Xi?"

The little lantern finally turned into a human form, with snow-white skin and curved eyes.When Zhuang Qingqu met Yan Yuliang when he was ten years old, the second prince's mother had already gone, and he had never seen her before.I only heard from Yan Yuliang that his mother didn't look like him.

Not really.

In fact, Yan Yuliang doesn't really look like Emperor Xuanming, I really don't know who he looks like.

Concubine Xi: "Then Azhao, please take care of me, I'm leaving."

"Also, thank you for lighting a lotus lantern for me in the Taimiao."

She originally had a good temper, but because she died too unjustly and was reluctant to part with her son, she has been lingering forever.Until that day when this strange young man lit the lotus lantern in the Ancestral Temple, she finally knew that her son was loved and loved, and she was moved to dispel the resentment and had nothing to worry about.

The little light is gone.

Zhuang Qingqu felt as if his whole body was wrapped in a warm breath.

In a trance, he seemed to hear many voices.There were his father's unwilling teachings, the soft whispers of his mother who had never met, and even Shi Yun's voice, telling him to keep going forward and not look back.

For a long time.

When he came back to his senses, he was holding an umbrella and standing at the end of a dark and rainy road.

Endless rain, Yan Yuliang walked over drenched and staggering.Zhuang Qingqu hurriedly ran over to shelter him from the wind and rain. He regretted that he hadn't been able to walk with him properly during the long journey before.

But there is still a long way to go.

The rain stopped.Stars began to rise around the road, gradually shining like stars in the night sky.

Yan Yuliang hugged him: "I knew it, you would be waiting for me here."

He rubbed him: "Azhao, let's go home."

……

When King Lan opened his eyes again, the sun had not yet set, and it was the best scene of radiant and dark red at dusk.

"How long have I slept?"

Yan Yuliang: "It's a whole month, you're so kind."

Lan Wang was in a daze for a moment, and then did some calculations. It was only October, so now it's... a whole month, the first day of November?

"It's Ah Zhao's 29th birthday."

"Ah."

But it was dusk, Zhuang Qingqu was very distressed and regretful, he raised his hand.Although his whole body was sore and limp after sleeping for a long time, his fingertips... his fingertips, which were always cold, were unexpectedly warm at this moment.

He rubbed Yan Yuliang's cheek with his warm fingertips.

Mixed feelings at the moment.Talk a little too much, incoherent.He seemed to seldom talk so much at once.

"Azhao, I wanted to prepare something for you, but Prince Lan's Palace has actually prepared something. Let's... find a day to make up for it."

"Azhao, when I fell asleep, I heard you speak ill of me."

"Where is the five-color rope? Where did you take it?"

"If you want to be tied up, go to Taimiao and get tied up."

"When I fell asleep, it seemed... I saw my father and Emperor Xuanming. Your mother asked me to take good care of you, and Master said so."

"Azhao, in fact, you can rely on me in the future. You can occasionally be the salted fish in the mermaid and salted fish in the short story book. I know you like that too."

"I will stay with you and take care of you...until death."

He hugged the person in his arms tightly.For the first time in his life, his body temperature was higher than Yan Yuliang, and he finally had enough temperature to warm this fool.He secretly likes this very much.

He held him, such a good evening.

After rubbing for a while, he remembered something, lowered his head and bit his neck dissatisfied.

"Azhao, in front of my father and the late emperor, who do you call Concubine Zhuang...?"

"Could it be that I am a scumbag" by Orange Rain
