usurped

Sleep well, the facial muscles are a little tense, so relax and relax just now, by the way, father-in-law, do you have anything else to do? "

Eunuch Chen stared at him suspiciously, and then said with a choked voice: "It's nothing, I just remind you not to delay, the emperor is waiting!"

"Understood, father-in-law, please go slowly."

This time, Xiao Fu watched him walk out of his sight, and then he muttered softly and walked towards the room, "Che, what's the matter with being so arrogant, it's okay to follow the emperor, Niu Niu Niu, look at your old face, you can still do it!" when."

"What's the matter?" When Xiao Fu walked in, Bao Rong had already sat up. He was wearing a little moon-white coat, and his hair was loosely scattered on his shoulders.

"Master Xiao──" Seeing him getting up, Xiao Fu rushed up at a trot, "Why are you up?"

"Is it related to me that the father-in-law looked for you just now?" Bao Rong's voice was flat.

"How do you know!" Xiao Fu asked curiously.

Baorong smiled miserably, and asked again, "Is the emperor looking for something for me?"

"Oh! Mr. Xiao, you are amazing, how do you even know this kind of thing! Do you have a clairvoyant ear!" Xiaofu said, then turned around and ran towards a rectangular box at the far east of the room, "Mr. Xiao , That person just now is Eunuch Chen who is next to the emperor, he said just now that the emperor is waiting for you in the imperial garden, and asked me to prepare a piece of clothing for you, and then go over immediately."

"This is it!" He searched for a long time, and finally ran up to Bao Rong holding a lake-blue cloth shirt, "Master Xiao, our Yanzhuxuan has very little salary, so there is nothing beautiful about it." clothes, this one is the best in my impression, don't dislike it."

Bao Rong stretched out his hand to remove the clothes, the fingertips felt very rough, it was indeed not a good material, although he grew up in a deep palace, but luckily he was not enshrined in a pampered way, should he be thankful or sad?Now that he has been reduced to such a miserable situation, he has no right to talk about whether he dislikes it or not. Having a piece of clothing to wear is already the greatest gift given to him by heaven.

After everything was fully dressed, Xiao Fu led the way and led Bao Rong towards the imperial garden.

*****

Under the illumination of palace lanterns, the imperial garden at night is like daytime, and those beautiful and shy flowers also have a different charm.

Bao Rong walked to an octagonal gazebo, only to see that Tuoba Hong having a drink and talking happily.

Besides him, there were three other people sitting in the gazebo. He only had a quick glance at their well-dressed attires, and he guessed that they were the royal family and nobles.

As if aware of something, Tuoba Hong turned around, looked at Xiao Baorong with a calm face, without saying a word.

"Young Master Xiao?" Xiao Fu tugged Bao Rong's wide sleeves, and the latter immediately realized what was happening, and immediately knelt down on his knees, saying respectfully:

"Long live the emperor."

Now that he is dependent on others, does he still have room for choice and resistance?Kneeling on the cold ground, he felt that such a scene seemed familiar. If, just if, the emperor in front of him was Xiao Yan, it would be great!

Ah……

It seems that this brain is really useless, why is it starting to think wildly again.

I'm afraid Xiao Yan is hugging Yingluo in his arms right now, he is so affectionate!He wanted to hate, but he couldn't. That person was already engraved too deeply in his heart, in his mind.

"Oh?" Tuoba Hong was surprised to see that Bao Rong was so obedient.

"Brother Huang, why did your taste suddenly change? Didn't you always like the kind of young boy who is both charming, coquettish and wild? Why did you bring back such an old man today?"

"Although it is a bit old, there is a saying in the Central Plains that ginger is hotter with age. I think Brother Huang's new love is quite charming."

"I still agree with Si'er. Look at him, he's old and ugly, and he's so skinny that he's just a bone frame. What's so good about him?"

Tuoba Hong didn't seem to listen to their words at all, but raised his voice: "Come here, fill us up with wine."

Bao Rong knew that he was talking to himself, and when he was about to stand up, more exaggerated words exploded on top of his head again.

"Did I tell you to get up?"

Just a few simple words made Bao Rong's slightly straightened legs bend again, and he fell heavily on the hard green brick.

"What are you still doing?" A little father-in-law standing next to Bao Rong reminded with a low voice, "The emperor asked you to go there!"

Baorong understood, it turned out that he wanted to crawl over by himself.

He took a deep breath and began to move his knees slowly. The ground was not clean, and there were fine and small stones everywhere. Although it would not hurt the skin, it would still be unbearable after a long time.

(10 fresh coins) Baorong was slapped

"Why are you crawling so slowly? You're not even as good as a dog." One of the people on the seat shouted, and the rest of them immediately followed suit.

Immediately, the garden was full of laughter, and some of the eunuchs and court ladies also covered their mouths and giggled, only Xiaofu looked like he was about to cry with a sullen face.

There was no expression on Bao Rong's face, he just walked along the path leading to the courtyard, one step, another step, finally climbed up the steps, and he didn't stop, so he saluted Tuoba Hong, "Your Majesty."

"Heh...haha... Interesting, Brother Huang, where did you find such an obedient dog! One day, get me one too." As the man said, he stretched out his hand and caressed on top of Baorong's head. After a few twitches, the neat hair was instantly messed up, like a beggar calling the street.

"That's right, Brother Huang, why don't you just give this to me? It just so happens that I have a friend who works as a trainer in the guardhouse, who specializes in training new arrivals. Do you want me to send this person over there?" Two days, study hard, and I will serve you better in the future, Brother Huang."

"Brother Huang, I think Fifth Brother's words are right."

"Get up!" When they taunted Baorong, Tuobahong just stared at the cup in his hand, and when their voices fell down for a while, and now only laughter remained, he gave the order coldly.

"Yes—" Baorong replied, but after kneeling for so long, it was so easy to get up. He gritted his teeth tightly and forced himself to stand up, but just halfway up, his knees were painful, especially on the left side. His knee was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Hey! Didn't you hear Brother Huang's order? Brother Huang asked you to get up, why are you still kneeling there, get up quickly!"

Bao Rong couldn't tell where the sound was coming from, but he felt kicked heavily on the side of his waist, and then his body turned to one side.

"Fifth brother and fifth brother, calm down, he is not a seventeen or eighteen-year-old guy anymore, look at that old face, he must be 30 years old, even if our brothers have been kneeling for a long time, this knee is not enough. It will be numb, let alone him!"

Baorong swallowed these taunts silently as before. He struggled and took a lot of effort to stand up tremblingly. He looked at the silver jug ​​on the table, He felt a puff of air in his chest rushing up to his throat, which was very sore and painful, but he turned all the soreness and pain into a faint smile.

Picking up the jug, he filled the four empty cups. The movement was very smooth, but some people just like to find fault.

"Tsk tsk, how did you pour the wine? Look, it's all spilled on the table. Also, when you poured it for the fifth brother just now, a drop splashed on his boot. I said where did your eyes grow? Well, it was intentional at all, do you know how valuable those boots are, even if there are ten of you, oh, no, no, even a hundred of you are not worth it."

"I, I'll just wipe it clean." Bao Rong knew that he was deliberately finding fault, but being controlled by others, he could only obey and could not resist.

So, he started to kneel on the ground again, and was just about to use his cuffs to wipe the boots that hadn't been splashed with alcohol, when the sound of drinking stopped, "Hey, wait, who told you to wipe it with your sleeves, the wine It's for drinking, do you dare to wipe it with your sleeve in front of the emperor?"

Bao Rong was slightly taken aback, but he also understood the meaning of the words. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaned over and put his face on the boots. There was a faint stench coming from his nose. He ignored it and slowly Slowly sticking out the tip of his tongue, he began to lick aimlessly, the corners of his eyes were instantly filled with tears of grievance, but the teardrops did not fall for a long time, but the feeling of desperately enduring and bearing grievances made him— ─Life is better than death.

"Cut, it's alright, third brother, you don't think he's dirty, but I do. After I get back today, I'll ask someone to throw these boots away, so as not to save me from bad luck." He said disgustedly. Lifting his foot, Bao Rong was kicked against the leg of the table.

The table shook violently, knocking over the cups full of wine that had not been picked up on the table, and the cups rolled from the table to the ground with a gurgle, and some of the wine flowed down, impartially It was sprinkled on Baorong's head.

"Why are you so careless? The fifth brother just kicked you lightly. Do you think your body is made of cotton? You can't stand it when you touch it like this? Look, a good banquet was overwhelmed." What did you look like, come and slap your mouth."

It was the third child who stood up and spoke. He looked at Tuoba Hong who was sitting next to him calmly from the corner of his eye. The brothers had been together for so many years. Be bolder.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" He urged again.

The little eunuchs standing beside looked at Eunuch Chen's eyes, and Eunuch Chen also looked at the emperor's face, and finally nodded hesitantly at those little eunuchs.
