Merry character

When it was time to eat, Duobao came to report that there was another visitor in the palace.

I put down my chopsticks and said depressedly, "Is it the queen mother or the emperor this time?"

"It's the emperor."

"Is it an imperial decree or an oral order."

"The father-in-law said it was an oral order."

"Ah Jiu, you can do whatever you want, you're welcome. I'll come whenever I go."

Mei Jiu smiled gently and said, "Go."

**

I was surprised to see Mr. Wood, the chief eunuch next to the emperor.What is it that bothers the chief eunuch to pass it on.

"Eunuch Wu."

"Master Liu, the emperor asked this old slave to announce you into the palace."

"Entering the palace?" I couldn't help but wonder, "Did the emperor say anything about it?"

"This old slave doesn't know too well, the young master will naturally know when he sees the emperor."

***

Seeing the emperor again, his eyes are special... er, the meaning is unknown.

"I heard a rumor today, I don't know if it's true or not."

Rumors, rumors of broken sleeves?I looked at the emperor and didn't answer.I just heard him continue: "Presumably Liu Qing also knows about this rumor."

I bowed my head respectfully, and said in a flat tone: "Subjects are not broken sleeves."

"is it?"

I continued to respectfully say: "Yes."

After a short while of silence, the emperor suddenly laughed and said, "Jinyu doesn't need to be nervous. Since the rumors are just rumors, I can rest assured."

I tried to pull the corners of my mouth and smile.

"Jinyu, sit beside me."

I looked at the seat next to the emperor's dragon fart, walked over to sit down silently, and said gratefully: "The subjects thank the emperor for granting the seat."

"Did Jinyu sleep well last night?"

"Very good. The subjects lost their composure yesterday. I hope the emperor will forgive me."

"It's my fault. I didn't know that Jinyu would get drunk when he drank."

"It's probably because the fairy wine is so good that the subjects drink too much when they get excited."

"Since Jinyu likes immortal wine, why not get drunk with me again today."

I looked at the emperor, and he looked interested.Looking at the sky outside, I sincerely said: "It's getting late today, the emperor has everything to do every day, it's better to rest earlier, the subjects dare not disturb the emperor."

The emperor looked at me with a half-smile and an unpredictable expression on his face.This is probably the standard imperial expression.It's really awkward to watch, with chills and boredom coming together.

"Jinyu is in such a hurry to go home, is it really as the rumors say..." The emperor narrowed his eyes, seeing that my expression became serious.

Fortunately, I didn't become an official, and I didn't become a subordinate of the emperor, otherwise I would definitely suffer every day.It's really scary to face a person who looks kind but is actually unpredictable.One second he was amiable, but the next second he was eccentric.Sure enough, the emperor is a pervert.

I looked straight at the emperor with a blank face, and my tone was also blank: "Your Majesty is the real dragon emperor, with dragon energy to protect his body, even if he is in trouble every day, he is still in good health and full of energy. Subjects are small people, not strong in body, not in soul. I am strong, I drank the fine wine of the gods yesterday, and my body was unbearable, and today I am dizzy and weak, so I can no longer have fun with your majesty."

The emperor looked at me for a while, and said majesticly and coldly: "I don't think Liu Qing looks dizzy, dazed, and weak."

"I can barely bear it."

"In that case, I will ask the imperial doctor to show you."

I immediately stopped and said: "No need, the subjects can just go home and sleep, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

"Liu Qing seems to be very impatient?" The emperor's face has changed, becoming extremely noble, aloof and domineering.

I smiled and said, "Why? The subjects are just unwell."

"Really? I also know a little bit about Qihuang. Since Liu Qing doesn't want to see the imperial doctor, then I will do it for me."

In my astonishment, the emperor took my hand and seemed to feel the pulse.I struggled, the emperor glanced at me, and held on to the pulse.

After a while, he leaned over and leaned close to my ear, saying, "Jinyu's pulse is normal."

A gust of hot air sprayed on my face, and I tilted my head.

The emperor said in a drawn-out voice, "It's just that...it's really weak, Jinyu should pay attention to exercise."

I laughed: "The subjects know that they are not working hard, so they must pay more attention in the future."

The emperor finally withdrew his dragon claws, with a kind smile on his face again.He said kindly to me: "Jinyu go back and have a good rest, and I will drink and listen to music with Jinyu in the future."

***

It was already dark when we left the palace.I declined the palace sedan chair arranged by the emperor.I was walking alone on the street, passing a chaotic stall with few people, and ate a bowl by the way.When I checked out, I found that there were several times more people at the stall, so I withdrew from the crowd and continued walking on my way home.

At night in the capital, it is very lively, with people coming and going, just as bustling as during the day.As I paced, I wondered if I should hurry up and implement my plan to run away from home.I really don't want to go to places like the imperial palace for the third time, and I really don't want to see people like the emperor again.

I was walking unhurriedly, and suddenly I heard two men talking obscenely about me with laughter.

"Hey, have you heard that the eldest son of Prime Minister Liu's family has always been mysterious, and he is rarely known to the world. This time, he has become famous."

"It's not a good name, though."

"That's right, today I found out that Young Master Liu actually has a habit of cutting off his sleeves, no wonder he doesn't love women."

"How do you know he doesn't love women?"

"Hey, I have a brother who works in Liu Xiang's mansion. I heard from him that Liu Xiang sent women to Mr. Liu many times, but he rejected them all. In the end, he gave four tender and beautiful boys, and he accepted them without saying a word. Yes. Hehe, tell me, this is not obvious..."

"Sure enough?"

"Exactly."

I silently walked to the side of those two people, and said coldly: "You two are so good at telling others right and wrong, so be careful and go to hell to have your tongue pulled out."

"Who? Don't worry about it, kid..." The ferocious expressions of the two people immediately became silly.

I frowned, flicked my sleeves, turned and walked away quickly.

**

The two looked at each other in disbelief.

"What did you see?"

"A very, very good-looking person!"

"So it's true. Is he a man or a woman?"

"male."

"How are you sure?"

"Women are swaying, he is not a woman."

"Yeah, it's gone."

"I can't be dazzled. How can there be such a good-looking person in the world?"

……

**

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles.My anger was rising, and my mood was really bad.Duanxiu Duanxiu remove his Duanxiu, this young man is handsome and majestic, how does he look like Duanxiu?If I found out that the villain was spreading rumors, I would strip him naked and hang him on the city wall for passers-by to watch.

I walked forward with a dull head, accidentally bumped into someone, and immediately apologized, and continued to walk without waiting for the other person to reply.I bumped into someone again, apologized quickly, and continued walking.

"Brother Jinyu."

Brother Jinyu?call me?Thinking this way in my heart, I didn't look back, and continued walking with my head buried.

"Brother Jinyu."

"Brother Jinyu."

"Brother Yuyan."

I stopped and looked back.Wang Caixiang, Ruan Baixiu, Qi Yuan, and a man they had never seen before.Presumably it was Li Yi'an, one of the five young masters in the capital, named Zhong Rong.

Wang Caixiang said: "Brother Jinyu, this is..."

"I was going home, but I didn't expect to meet four brothers. Brother Wang, Brother Ruan, Brother Qi." Finally, he looked at the strange man and said, "This must be Brother Li. Hello, Brother Li .”

"A few days ago, Li heard that Brother Wang and others were full of praise for Brother Jinyu. Li wanted to know Brother Jinyu a long time ago, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity. He thought it was exaggerated when he heard everyone's praise of Jinyu before, and he didn't want to see Jinyu today. Brother Yu, I know what it means that words cannot describe one or two of its elegance." Li Yi'an showed a smile, which immediately broke the serious expression that seemed serious.

I cupped my hands: "I have admired Brother Li's name for a long time, and I feel honored to meet you today. I don't know where Brother Li is going?"

Li Yi'an said: "Lanyan Pavilion."

"Lanyan Pavilion?" I was surprised.

"Will Jinyu go shopping with us?" Qi Yuan invited.

I frowned and shook my head: "I have to go home."

"It's still early, why should Jinyu go back in a hurry. That time in Fengyuelou, Jinyu left early and never had a good drink with you. It's rare to meet you today, so Jinyu shouldn't refuse."

I looked at Qi Yuan and the other three and remained silent.

"Brother Jinyu, don't get me wrong, I just heard that the son of Shenyin has returned to Lanyan Pavilion, so I want to listen to the fairy music." Wang Caixiang explained, "Brother Zhong Rong was not able to attend the oiran competition that day. I have never heard the fairy song of Mr. Shenyin with my own ears, and I have always doubted our description. Today I heard that Mr. Shenyin has returned to Lanyan Pavilion, so I can’t wait to take Brother Zhongrong to prove it."

I thought about it, and it was not easy to refuse, and I also wanted to find out, so I nodded and agreed.

***

When I was about to step into the Lanyan Pavilion, I suddenly remembered the recent rumors of broken sleeves. If I went in, wouldn't it add fuel to the rumors.

"Brother Jinyu, why don't you go in?"

I glanced at Qi Yuan, took out a gauze cloth from my arms and covered my face.

"It's necessary for Jinyu to do this." Ruan Baixiu laughed.

I straightened my expression and said, "I'm allergic to powder."

"I see."

As soon as our group stepped into the colorful and colorful Lanyan Pavilion, a male bustard dressed in red and gold came up to him enchantingly. His snow-white face was full of smiles, and his eyes shone brightly, as if he could see the golden light. Flash inside.

"Young masters are welcome, upstairs please."

No need for us to say more, the bustard automatically took us into a seemingly high-end private room.

"Several guest officials, our Lanyan Pavilion has a wide range of tastes, I don't know what the young masters want to order."

"I heard that Mr. Shenyin has returned to the cabinet. I heard the fairy music that day, so I came here to revisit it today. Let's ask Mr. Shenyin to come out and meet." Qi Yuan threw out 1000 taels of silver notes with great wealth.

The old bustard smiled, but then said with a bitter face: "My lords, this is a bit difficult."

"Why?"

"Sir Shenyin has not seen any outsiders for the time being."

"Why don't you see me?"

"This?" the old bustard hesitated and said, "Masters, I will tell you the truth. Although Mr. Shenyin is in our Lanyan Pavilion, he is not in our care."

"Why is that?" Qi Yuan asked displeased.

"I don't know if the young master has heard of that rumor."

"What rumor? I don't know." Li Yi'an wondered.

"Young master is joking."

"tell me the story."

Seeing that she was not joking, the old bustard immediately explained with a smile: "Mr. Shenyin's contract of prostitution is not in our Lanyan Pavilion."

"Could it be that he can freely pick up guests here under his name?" Li Yi'an raised his eyebrows.

The old bustard hesitated and said: "It can also be said that if Mr. Shenyin voluntarily receives guests, there is no problem. However, this Mr. Shenyin is a showman rather than a person, and that art is not something that can be heard casually."

"It's not that you can hear it casually, but it's not that you can't hear it. Just tell me what you need to do to hear Master Shenyin's music." Wang Caixiang squinted at the old bustard, his expression already displeased.

The old bustard smiled and said: "Young master said that if it is possible, the servants will help you to hear the music of Mr. Shenyin, but..." The old bustard showed embarrassment.

"Just what?" Wang Caixiang frowned.

The old bustard sighed: "It's just a coincidence that everyone came here. Now Mr. Shenyin's voice is injured and he can't sing. It's not because the servants don't want to help you." After lamenting, his expression changed, and he said cheerfully, "However, our pavilion There are all kinds of beauties here, you young masters may wish to take a look. Maybe you can meet a lovely one. There are also some good songs in it. Although they are not as good as Mr. Shenyin, they can be heard."

I was a little impatient to hear the old bustard's soft and masculine voice, so I turned to him and said, "Since you can't see Mr. Shenyin, let alone hear his music, should you give the 1000 taels Come back." I stared closely at the thickly powdered face of the procuress.I saw the face that was fighting with zombies froze, and subconsciously pressed it into the arms holding the bank note.

"Take it out." Ignoring the astonished eyes of the others looking at me, I stretched out my hand.The bustard took out the banknote with a pained face.I snatched it over and handed one of them back to him, "Hey, 100 taels is enough."

The old bustard raised her orchid finger and took the bank note, and immediately her face was filled with a warm smile.

I turned around and sat down, glanced at Qi Yuan, then at the bank note, put it into my arms decisively, then said with a smile to Qi Yuan: "Borrow Qi Yuan's bank note for use."

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, moved his lips, and finally said: "The money will not be considered mine if it is given out, Jinyu can do as he pleases."

I looked at the old bustard, he had a heartache on his face.And I feel a little better.

Wang Caixiang said to the old bustard: "Since Mr. Shenyin can't sing, there is no need to call for someone. You can go out and don't let idlers wait in."

The old bustard opened his mouth, and everyone was sitting or lying down, looking relaxed, as if he didn't want to hear anything more, the old bustard retreated out tactfully.
