Singing and singing together in the court hall, the tacit understanding is still there, even better than before.But when he was alone, the cracks caused by the previous Cold War resurfaced.

Lin Xiaobei looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, and he didn't speak when he died.After a stalemate for a while, finally Liu Che couldn't hold back anymore, and spoke first, rather flatteringly: "Dongfang Shuo, are you still angry with me?"

Husband and wife heart to heart, bitterness is sweet

Lin Xiaobei squinted at Liu Che, and replied respectfully, "Go back to the emperor, I dare not."

Liu Che was in a hurry. He walked up to Lin Xiaobei and tried to grab his hand, but was dodged. Lin Xiaobei took a step back and continued to respectfully say: "There is a difference between the emperor and the humble ministers. Please don't lose your dignity. This is what Liu Che used to say about Lin Xiaobei not long ago.

Liu Che felt aggrieved, and couldn't help saying loudly: "Dongfang Shuo, what are you going to do? Don't you think I'm not important to you?"

Lin Xiaobei was also helpless, bowed again, and said: "My minister is terrified."

"Fear? I can still eat you, can't I?" Liu Che looked helplessly at Lin Xiaobei's attitude of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, so he could only soften and adopt a soft policy: "You, Dongfang Shuo, have always been my most valued subject. , how did it become such a situation now?"

Lin Xiaobei raised his head and glanced at Liu Che. Although he was still a young man, he already had the handsome and steady demeanor of an adult. It was only when he was in front of him that he would often jump with anger or laugh endlessly.Lin Xiaobei sighed, and said: "Your Majesty, I think I have done my duty as a courtier, and I really don't know how to change it. If the emperor is really dissatisfied with my words and deeds, then I have no choice but to resign and return home. "

"I won't allow it!" Liu Che panicked, quickly took Lin Xiaobei's hand, and said loudly: "You came to Chang'an and said that you wanted to assist me in achieving success. You can't break your promise! The bamboo slips you sent me It took me two months to finish reading it, and I thought about every sentence and every word many times. I will introduce you as a confidant, and I will discuss everything with you. Even if it is, even if it is a private matter, I have never concealed it How can you say such irresponsible words now! Then the reprimand I received for you is nothing!" Liu Che was a little emotional as he spoke, and there were even tears in his eyes.

Lin Xiaobei was also very shocked. Regardless of how much exaggeration there is in this statement, it is very rare to say that an emperor can confide his heart to him like this.Lin Xiaobei suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Your Majesty, what reprimand are you talking about?"

Embarrassment quickly flashed across Liu Che's face, he bit his lip, and said angrily, "You're about to resign, why are you asking these questions?"

Lin Xiaobei boldly held Liu Che's well-maintained fingers instead, and lowered his head to ask the aggrieved young man, "Your Majesty, tell me, who scolded you?" His voice was low and magnetic, quite seductive.

The two were very close, and their breaths were entangled with each other.Lin Xiaobei was half a head taller than Liu Che, from this distance it looked like a courtier was embracing the emperor.Liu Che was dissatisfied that his momentum was suppressed, he suddenly raised his head, and was about to speak when he froze.

Lin Xiaobei felt the touching nose tips and the warm touch on his lips. He was stunned for a while before he realized it. He quickly let go of Liu Che's hand, took a step back and knelt down and said, "I offended the emperor, please punish him."

After a long silence, Lin Xiaobei looked up secretly, and saw Liu Che's eyes turned away, but his face was slightly red.Lin Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly wanted to get up and hug the boy who looked strong and awkward, but was also awkward and strong in his arms.It's just that he can only think about it, Lin Xiaobei bowed his head and knelt for a while before listening to Liu Che: "Dongfang Aiqing didn't mean it, I don't blame it."

Yes, it was indeed an unintentional touch, Lin Xiaobei quickly licked his lips, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

After this accident, the embarrassment between the two became more and more awkward, and after a while of silence, Liu Che finally said: "I'm tired, you should step back first."

After leaving the palace, the sun poured down from the east, and the palace that was originally shrouded in mist was gradually stained with warm light. It was already May.The weather was not very hot, and Lin Xiaobei only wore an undershirt and a dark official uniform, so he didn't find it unbearable.

Lin Xiaobei led the horse and drove home slowly. Anyone who was clever on the way would come over and say hello, and Lin Xiaobei nodded one by one, but he was thinking about other things in his heart. For example, it was not a kiss just now kiss.

Why is it always renewed hope when I decide to give up?Lin Xiaobei asked himself, Liu Che already had Chen Ajiao, Wei Zifu, and Han Yan, how could such a passionate and promiscuous person be worthy of his liking?Yes, after touching it, I realized that I really liked it, so I wanted to hug it, and then deepen the imprint.

Lin Xiaobei returned home, and before entering the door, he heard Huo Qubing's crying, his naturally loud voice echoed through the door and echoed in Lin Xiaobei's ears, causing him to forget all his thoughts about Chunhua Qiuyue, and hurriedly pushed him away. The door went in, went straight to the courtyard, hugged Huo Qubing into his arms, and coaxed: "Qubing is good, don't cry."

When the child saw the person who doted on him, he cried so much that Lin Xiaobei's eardrums were about to be deafened.

Wei Qing said with a livid face on the side: "Brother, don't get used to him, if you don't correct yourself, you will definitely not become a pillar of talent in the future!"

Lin Xiaobei glared at Wei Qing, picked up the chubby little meat ball, patted him on the back with one hand, and coaxed him in a low voice: "Qu Bing is a man, if you want to bleed but not cry, godfather will laugh at you like this you."

Huo Qubing pursed his mouth and wanted to cry, but seeing Lin Xiaobei's expression, he held back, wiped his tears and said, "Well, I'm a man, I don't cry."

After coaxing for a while, the crying really stopped.Huo Qubing was exhausted and fell asleep in Lin Xiaobei's arms. Lin Xiaobei carried him back to the room and carefully put him on the bed. Then he came out rubbing his sore arms and asked Wei Qing who was still angry: "Brother, what are you doing?" How did you get sick?"

Wei Qing said angrily: "The focus of martial arts is to punish the evil and help the weak, and to serve the country. Shouldn't he be punished for colluding with others to bully the weak?"

Lin Xiaobei frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Today when I came back from my shift, I saw Qu Bing beating a boy together with the neighbor's children. I stepped forward to stop him, but Qu Bing refused to admit his mistake, and instead said that the man was a wild Xiongnu. The boy was obviously a child of an ordinary family. , how can Qu Bing be so tyrannical and domineering, relying on his martial arts to bully the weak, if things go on like this, it will definitely be a disaster, big brother, do you think I should teach him a lesson?"

"Children of the Huns?" Lin Xiaobei began to think about the situation of the Huns at this time, but it has been nearly a year since he came to the Western Han Dynasty, and he has forgotten some unimportant things. He is not specialized in studying the history of the Western Han Dynasty, so he really can't remember. The Huns are not in civil strife at this time.I can only say: "Brother taught me that Qu Bing did something wrong. I will reprimand him a few times later. But don't be too harsh, after all, he is only four years old."

Wei Qing nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, I have a measure."

"Ah."

After lunch, just about to take a nap, suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "Dongfang Shuo receives the order."

Lin Xiaobei was taken aback, thinking that Liu Che had something to do with him again, so he quickly put on his coat and went out to receive the order.

It wasn't Yang Deyi who came, but another eunuch who didn't know him, leading a group of people.The eunuch turned his nostrils to the sky, looked at people with the whites of his eyes, and said to the kneeling Lin Xiaobei: "The Empress Dowager ordered Dongfang Shuo to enter the palace immediately to see him!"

Lin Xiaobei was taken aback, the empress dowager?Just about to ask something, he was interrupted: "Master Dongfang, please." After speaking, a group of people came over to set up Lin Xiaobei, and walked out.Lin Xiaobei recalled the look in Xu Chang's eyes, and thought to himself, it's broken, it really offended the real power holders of the country.

After entering the palace, this time he did not go to the main hall or Xuanshi hall, but to the palace where the empress dowager lived. When he arrived at the gate, the eunuch went in to report. Make a fuss.

Hearing the transmission after a while, Lin Xiaobei bowed his head and walked in, raised his eyes slightly to see the legendary blind but very cunning Queen Dou, and kowtowed: "My minister Dongfang Shuo sees the Empress Dowager Jin An, a thousand years and a thousand years old Thousands of years old."

"You are Dongfang Shuo?" The voice was a little old, but full of majesty.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this humble minister is Dongfang Shuo."

"Hmph, a courtier who stands on the ground, why is he so arrogant, trying to influence my grandson's thoughts and insult the minister who ranks among the nine ministers?!"

Lin Xiaobei broke out in a cold sweat, and said sincerely, "I dare not."

"Don't you dare? Xu Chang, Zhuang Qingdi, you two come in."

Leaning slightly, two old men with complacent faces came in, saluted Dou Yi, and when they saw Lin Xiaobei who was kneeling, they all smiled treacherously.

"Xuchang, the Ai family would like to ask you, has Dongfang Shuo ever said anything disrespectful to you?"

Xu Chang bowed and saluted, and said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Dongfang Shuo, relying on the emperor's favor, was unscrupulous in the court, often misinterpreting the loyal and good words of the humble minister, and even ridiculed the humble minister many times, asking the Empress Dowager to take the lead and punish Dongfang Shuo severely !"

"Dongfang Shuo, is there such a thing?"

Lin Xiaobei knew that he couldn't be kind today, even if he didn't admit it, he would never be able to escape punishment, so he said: "Back to the Empress Dowager, although I have different political views with the Prime Minister, I have never thought of satirizing the Prime Minister. Everything I say and do is for the sake of the emperor and the world, and I hope the empress dowager will clearly observe it."

Zhuang Qingzhai stepped forward and cried: "Empress Dowager, I swear to heaven, Dongfang Shuo has indeed ridiculed my minister many times, please don't listen to slander, Empress Dowager, and listen to it by mistake!"

"Although the Ai family can't see it with their eyes, they know it in their hearts. You, a poor man in Dongfang Shuo, can reuse your talents.
