The years when I made seven sand sculptures cry

In the early morning, before dawn, the palace servants came in a file from the outer hall with their toiletries.

The hanging bed curtain was pushed aside, the old eunuch waved away the others, came up and pushed Rong Xing who was still sleeping, and called softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

At this time in the past, as soon as they came in, Rong Xing should have opened his eyes, unlike today, he had to wait until he was gently pushed twice by the old eunuch before waking up from his sleep.

He felt that the temperature in his bed curtain was very high, and his chest on the right side was also heavy, as if he was pressing a warm object, and he was still breathing.

"What time is it?"

While Rong Xing asked in a low voice, he realized that the temperature in the bed tent was escaping from his body, so he stopped the circulation of Yuanli and restrained the temperature.

The temperature in the bed tent returned to normal, not as hot as before, but warmer than outside the hall.

The old eunuch said: "It's time for you to get up."

Rong Xingfu closed his eyes again, thinking that he seemed to be in a dream, as if he was holding something in his palm.

Wait... He opened his eyes again and looked in front of him, only seeing the top of the boy's head, and what was being held in his hand was his shoulder.

He woke up in an instant and connected the cause and effect together.

Last night, they were teenagers who came to their dormitory, and then brought themselves into the illusion, seeing the most beautiful pictures in the world in different places.

In the end, he took himself back to the place where he practiced in his youth.

As soon as he thought of what seemed real in the illusion, Rong Xing knew why he was so close to him, and he kept releasing his enthusiasm.

Rong Xing was awake, but the Young Castle Master, who had never woken up so early, hadn't woken up yet, because of the sound and light from outside, he still moved and shrank into Rong Xing's arms.

This action made the emperor, who was still holding him, couldn't help showing a little smile, and gently moved the person in his arms aside.

Leaving the source of warmth beside him, the Young Castle Master immediately burrowed into the quilt and pillow, Rong Xing unconsciously looked at him for a moment, and then planned to get up.

Seeing him sitting up, the old eunuch waved his hand back gently, signaling all the palace servants who were ready to serve to come to the bed.

Rong Xing stood up, his feet fell to the ground, and immediately two maids squatted down beside the bed to put on his shoes and socks.

After putting on his shoes and socks, he was about to stand up, but the handsome emperor felt that his clothes were pressed by something and he couldn't pull them out.

The old eunuch stood by his bed, watched this scene, and opened his mouth to remind: "Your Majesty..."

Rong Xing looked in the direction where his sleeve was being pressed, and saw Chu Xiangwan's face flushed from sleep, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and scraped gently on this face that became more and more cute.

The old eunuch: "..."

Even so, the Young Castle Master did not wake up, and still slept soundly.

The old eunuch felt the subtle sweetness again, and asked Rong Xing in a low voice: "Do you want to send Mr. Chu back to the Zichen Palace later, or let him rest in the side hall?"

Normally, even if someone stayed overnight in the emperor's bedroom, they would get up immediately after Rong Xing went to court the next day and could not stay in the bedroom.

Rong Xing raised his hand and made a gesture for him to be quiet, and tried to pull the sleeves out from under the boy's body, but it was unsuccessful.

He stopped his movements and stood where he was, looking at the sleeping person, and he was a little reluctant to let him sleep.

The old eunuch was about to order someone to bring a new inner coat, when he heard a "stab" in his ear, and turned his head to see that Rong Xing had torn off the piece of clothing that was held down by Chu Xiangwan.

Rong Xing's sleeves were suddenly free, and he was able to get up from the bed. The old eunuch hurriedly made a gesture of hastening, urging them to bring over the clothes for His Majesty to change into, and the emperor should not be allowed to wear ragged clothes.

The bed curtain was lowered again, blocking the people sleeping inside. Rong Xing changed the torn clothes on his body, and whispered: "Don't disturb him, just let him sleep here. If he wakes up later , let him wait here until I come back from the court."

"Yes." Hearing this, the old eunuch couldn't help but look at the figure in the bed curtain again, the boy who was pressing His Majesty's sleeve turned over, leaving the sleeve that Rong Xing tore off just behind his back .

This is really a treatment that has never been seen before.

Thinking of this, he called his apprentice in a low voice and told him to stay here.

After all, his apprentice is clever, and he has dealt with this person who is still sleeping on the dragon bed several times, so he is quite familiar with him.In this way, when the boy wakes up and finds that His Majesty is not there, he can be comforted, and he will not be so anxious to run out of the bedroom.

Rong Xing put on the court clothes, took a last look at the person behind the bed curtain, and went out of his bedroom

It's not yet winter, the morning court time in summer and autumn is slightly earlier than in winter, when Rong Xing came to the court hall, the ministers who got up earlier than him had already stood in two rows below.

Rong Xing sat on the dragon chair, the old eunuch announced that he would go to court, and the officials standing at the bottom immediately knelt down in unison to salute, shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Rong Xing sat on it in a good mood, raised his hand, and said, "Everyone loves you."

These are all veterans who have followed him for many years, and from the tone of Rong Xing's speech today, he knows that he is different from yesterday.

Everyone thanked En for getting up, and took this opportunity to sneak a glance at the emperor sitting on it, feeling that he was really in a good mood today.

Why, what good thing happened in the palace to make His Majesty happy?

That's right, everyone thought of a piece of news that King Heng will be back soon, he is His Majesty's own younger brother, and the two of them only meet once a year, so it is normal for His Majesty to be happy about this.

Because Rong Xing was in a good mood, the speeches made by the ministers in the early morning seemed a little more positive. It was obvious that his face was too dark yesterday, which made them all hold back some things they wanted to raise in fright.

When I mentioned it today, it was true that His Majesty didn't make things difficult for them because he was in a good mood, so he raised his hand to let what they said pass.

After the morning court ended, several ministers stayed and went to the study to discuss matters with Rong Xing.

The problem of no progress in the past few days seems to be solved today. Before several ministers resigned, one of them couldn't help but said: "It seems that His Royal Highness King Heng is about to return to the capital. His Majesty is really in a good mood. Unlike Worrying like before."

Several of his colleagues nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is really different from usual today."

"If King Heng hadn't wanted to guard the border and resist the evil spirits from outside the sky, the old ministers hoped that he could return to Beijing from time to time to accompany His Majesty around and share His worries."

Rong Xing listened to them as usual, sat behind the case and nodded, watching them retreat calmly.

The old eunuch stood behind him, his heart brightened. Why is His Majesty in a good mood today because His Highness King Heng is coming back?

But it is expected that these ministers will never guess why His Majesty has so many smiles on his face today.

But what the old eunuch didn't expect was that Rong Xing had actually forgotten about Rong Heng's return to Beijing, he frowned and asked, "Where are Rong Heng's people now?"

"Return to Your Majesty—" the old eunuch quickly turned around and replied, "His Royal Highness Prince Heng's convoy has arrived in Chenzhou now, and it is still half a day away from the capital."

In other words, tonight, Rong Xing will be able to meet his brother's people and have dinner at the same table.

Rong Xing closed his eyes, and the old lady listened to him and whispered: "Damn, why did I forget about this..."

The old eunuch: "..."

He saw that His Majesty was so bewildered by that little goblin that he couldn't remember anything serious.

Rong Xing opened his eyes, the old eunuch calmed down, and dutifully reminded: "Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness Prince Heng has returned, Mr. Chu can no longer live in Zichen Palace."

"That's right." Rong Xing said, "Let them clean up the Zichen Palace and wait for Rong Heng to come back tonight."

"Yes." The old eunuch lowered his eyes, answered, and then asked, "Then Mr. Chu—"

It would be good to find a place in the harem, but apart from Zichen Hall, most of the palaces in the harem are very close together, which is inconvenient.

He felt that it would be best if His Majesty could call Xiao Xie in, and take that kid out at night.

But Rong Xing said: "Since you can't live in Zichen Palace, let him live with me."

The old eunuch: "...Yes."
