I can't, I can't

The emperor's birthday is a big event celebrated by the whole country. As early as two days ago, the palace had already started to decorate with lanterns and festoons, and there was a joyous atmosphere everywhere. When the birthday came early in the morning, the palace people were even more serious. It was grand, and two particularly rare wedding cannons were specially placed at the gate of the palace.

Kang Jiangxue didn't feel anything about these things, and lay on the bed until the afternoon, until Ping Wuqi and Haitang took turns to urge him, from "Your Majesty should get up" to "Your Majesty, why can't you pay back?" With a face full of reluctance, he stood up and faced reality.

It is impossible to hide. Today, if you stick your head out, you will get a knife if you shrink your head.

What else can I do... just bite the bullet and live.

Kang Jiangxue sighed and got up to tidy up, full of frustration, and when she saw the emperor's dress that Haitang had prepared for him, she was even more depressed.

This……

That's it? !

On big days like birthdays, the clothes the little emperor wears are custom-made by the court, which are the prescribed clothes set down by his ancestors, so they are far from the light and casual clothes that the little emperor usually wears.This caused the clothes in front of me to not only look heavy, but also seriously inconsistent with Kang Jiangxue's aesthetics. Kang Jiangxue couldn't tell what color it was, in short, it was full of yellow, so yellow, so yellow, so yellow. People's eyes are going to be blind.

The little emperor said with resentment all over his face: "I must wear such ugly clothes?"

Ping Wuqi and Haitang looked at each other, and both saw helplessness on the other's face: "Your Majesty, just for a few hours, bear with it, if you don't wear it, you will inevitably be discussed by the officials."

Kang Jiangxue said: "With such a reputation, I am still afraid of talking about it?"

Ping Wuqi said: "It can be avoided if possible, after all, it is a big day, and it only happens once a year."

Kang Jiangxue was very reluctant in her heart, but she still knew that she had to wear it after all. He dragged his clothes and dragged on. At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and someone blindfolded Kang Jiangxue's eyes .

The man whispered cheerfully in his ear, "Guess who I am."

The voice was pretending to be low, covering up the original voice, but there are only a few people who have the ability to enter and leave Zhengyang Palace at will, and this person is so close to him, Kang Jiangxue said without thinking: "Don't come with me This set is bothering me."

The man still said: "Guess, you can't guess."

How could it be impossible to guess, Kang Jiangxue pulled down the hands covering her eyes, and said impatiently: "Okay, Lu Qiao, you are not finished yet, are you?"

When calling out Lu Qiao's name, Kang Jiangxue had no hesitation in her heart, but when he touched Lu Qiao's hands, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

In the past, Lu Qiao liked to hold hands with him the most, so he was very familiar with Lu Qiao's hands. Although Lu Qiao's hands had wide knuckles, their skin was fine. But now these hands are much rougher than in memory, and he seems to be able to feel them faintly. Some thin cocoons.

Seeing the light again, Kang Jiangxue immediately turned her head. It was indeed Lu Qiao's face. Master Lu was smiling at him, with joy that he hadn't seen for a long time shining in his eyes.

Because of this surprise, the little emperor didn't connect with Lu Qiao's emotions immediately. He only noticed that Lu Qiao was wearing a heroic short shirt today, and the baby face that was originally similar to the little emperor's face became even more like before. Big difference.

This...is really Lu Qiao?

How could he change so much?

Obviously it hasn't been too long, but Lu Qiao's appearance has almost changed. Not only has he turned darker, but his skin has become wheat-colored, and his facial features have also undergone some subtle changes compared to before.

These changes are actually not big upon closer inspection, but when they are combined together, it's like a brand new spiritual atmosphere covering Lu Qiao's body, which makes Lu Qiao's temperament suddenly change, the youthful feeling is gone, and the whole face suddenly grows apart.

He seemed to leave the little emperor far away, and he became a young man at a very fast speed.

Kang Jiangxue was a little dazed looking at it. He really didn't expect that Lu Qiao would change so much. He knew that the military camp specially trained people, but he didn't know that the effect would be so immediate.

So fast, almost magically fast.

Kang Jiangxue was stunned and didn't come back to her senses for a long time. When he realized it, she immediately asked concerned: "Are you still growing?"

The little emperor didn't have too many surprises on his face, he seemed a bit unhappy. Lu Qiao, who was looking forward to the reunion with a happy face, couldn't help being disappointed and felt quite shocked. He replied: "...Is there any? I don't feel it."

Kang Jiangxue said: "You must have grown up, you are already an adult, why are you still growing?"

Kang Jiangxue was agitated by Lu Qiao's obvious changes, and she was a little resentful when she spoke.Because he missed the atmosphere of greeting each other with Lu Qiao at the beginning, and he didn't even notice Lu Qiao's little disappointment at the moment. When Lu Qiao compared it, she couldn't help being irritable, and she tugged at the dress and dropped it.

Lu Qiao's mood was much lower than the excited appearance when he entered the door, but he was still more in the mood of the little emperor. He resisted the loss in his heart and asked, "What's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy, tell me, I will vent your anger on you."

Kang Jiangxue showed him the dress, "Look, is it yellow?"

Lu Qiao glanced at it, but didn't understand what the little emperor meant: "...it's pretty yellow, what's wrong?"

Kang Jiangxue said: "Don't you think the color is ugly?"

Lu Qiao was stunned for a moment, and said: "Is it ugly? This color is the color of an emperor. No matter how many people want to wear it, they are not qualified to wear it. I think it is very good."

As she said that, seeing that the little emperor's expression was not right, Lu Qiao turned around and said, "Ah Ying, you don't need to worry about this, you look so good, you look good in anything you wear."

Kang Jiangxue and Lu Qiao couldn't chat, there was a lot of things that I wanted to say, but now I kept them all in my mouth, Lu Qiao pretended that he didn't believe it, and quickly promised: "I'm serious, you can wear anything in my heart." nice."

When Kang Jiangxue got such a sentence, she didn't know what to say, and he was embarrassed to lose his temper when people praised him sincerely.The little emperor held back for a long time, sighed, and finally began to dress layer by layer under Haitang's service.

During the process of dressing, Lu Qiao had been sitting beside him. Kang Jiangxue was close to him, so she didn't avoid Lu Qiao, but for some reason, Lu Qiao kept staring at him without moving her eyes.

Kang Jiangxue was taken aback, so she took the initiative to talk about topics of concern: "How long have you been in the palace? Where did you come from? You can see other people?"

Lu Qiao's voice paused, and she responded, "Others? Who are you asking?"

Kang Jiangxue felt uncomfortable thinking about that person, but she couldn't help paying attention: "Fu Honglang, have you seen him?"

Lu Qiao said, "I didn't see it."

Kang Jiangxue asked again: "Where's Yang Huo?"

Lu Qiao said: "I didn't see it either."

Didn't see it, Kang Jiangxue said: "Then who did you see? Did you see Yang Xian? I heard that he had left a few days ago, but he just left the imperial city in the name of my birthday. He's back. He's too obvious, he doesn't even want to keep his face, I admire it."

Lu Qiao did indeed see Yang Xian, besides Yang Xian, he also saw most of the court officials on the road, his own seat had already been arranged, but because he was too worried about the little emperor, he sneaked away without waiting for the banquet to start Slip to Zhengyang Hall.

He hadn't seen the little emperor for so long, and he couldn't wait to have a few words with the little emperor. He didn't want to enter the Zhengyang Palace for so long, but the reaction he got was completely different from what he expected.

The disappointment piled up, and after the little emperor asked around but didn't pay attention to herself, Lu Qiao let out a sigh of relief, and finally couldn't help but burst out: "Why do you always ask others? Aying, why don't you ask?" me!"

Kang Jiangxue was taken aback by Lu Qiao's sudden question, and then replied as usual: "What do you have to ask? What do you have that I don't know?"

That's what he said, but Lu Qiao felt that these words were extremely uncomfortable, and a feeling of grievance filled his heart, he was angry and didn't understand: "Aying, why are you so indifferent to me!"

Lu Qiao looked serious, and Kang Jiangxue was suddenly confused by the question. He thought about it carefully, and didn't feel that he was out of line, let alone indifferent, he didn't even confront Lu Qiao today.The little emperor was puzzled immediately, and after much deliberation, he still couldn't understand: "...Why did I treat you coldly? Isn't it always like this?"

Lu Qiao was also confused, the little emperor was confused, and he was also confused. He recalled according to the little emperor's words, and found that everything today seemed to be the same as the usual way of getting along.

But somehow, he just felt that it wasn't enough...not enough.

He hoped that the little emperor could pay more attention to him and get closer to him.

The feeling of dissatisfaction was clamoring in her heart, Lu Qiao was not stupid, and quickly came up with her own answer - yes, the little emperor treated him the same as before, but the problem was here.

... The two of them already have the same mind?Although he didn't say it publicly, he understood what the little emperor meant. He was really surprised at first, but he was happy in the end, and he was willing to...

That being the case, how can it be the same as before?

They should have been closer.

Lu Qiao was extremely wronged, angry that the little emperor didn't care enough for him, he suddenly got up and hugged the little emperor tightly from behind.

A person who is good at shooting has great arm strength. When Kang Jiangxue was in a daze, her body was embraced, and her whole body was directly held in Lu Qiao's arms, completely unable to move.Lu Qiao's hand strength was strong, and Kang Jiangxue was taken aback on the spot. He was shocked and said, "What are you doing?"

Lu Qiao really grew taller than before, and when he spoke, his lips almost stuck to Kang Jiangxue's ears, and he asked pitifully: "I worked so hard in the camp in the western suburbs for you, why don't you even Don't you care at all?"

Kang Jiangxue was silent, and only then did she know why Lu Qiao suddenly went crazy. She dared to act like a baby here because she suffered a lot and didn't receive condolences. The little emperor couldn't laugh or cry: "Okay, okay, I didn't pay attention, you let go first."

Lu Qiao said: "Don't let go."

Kang Jiangxue struggled hard, but she didn't break free, so she could only say in a good voice: "I know you are tired, but you have to be clear, you are not just for me, you are also for your Lu family. Today's suffering is all for you. It's worth it, it's all for your future."

Lu Qiao just listened, didn't let go, and continued to ask as if she didn't hear: "Aying, I miss you, don't you miss me?"

This question is very boring. Kang Jiangxue knows that Lu Qiao has such a clingy temperament, but she is still very unaccustomed to being asked. With his personality like this, she can't easily say such words, so she can't help being silent for a while. Lu Qiao He didn't get a response, so he hugged him even tighter, and shook him around like a playful one.

Kang Jiangxue didn't stand firmly at all, and she fell to the side with a sway of her footsteps. Lu Qiao was dragged by him, and she fell to the ground crookedly under him.

This time a pair of people hit the ground, the little emperor suddenly became annoyed, he shouted while thumping left and right: "It's so annoying! Don't hit me! The clothes are all wrinkled, I just put them on!"

Lu Qiao was also afraid that the little emperor would be angry, so she hurriedly touched the little emperor's clothes cowardly. This happened to touch the little emperor's chest, and she faintly touched an object through the clothes.

Lu Qiao asked: "...What is this?"

Kang Jiangxue was wearing the Jade Rabbit Pendant Sheng Lingyu had given him, Xu was too guilty, and opened her mouth to spray: "You care so much about me?"

Lu Qiao felt strange: "Show me."

Kang Jiangxue refused: "No!"

It doesn't matter if you look at it or not, Lu Qiao took advantage of the situation and said, "Then you say you miss me."

... what kind of choice is this?Kang Jiangxue didn't want to talk to him, but when he didn't speak, Lu Qiao leaned towards his chest to grab the pendant.Kang Jiangxue was touched impatiently by him, and she started to make a fuss like rolling on the ground. Seeing that the pendant was about to be dragged out and she was pinned down by Lu Qiao, unable to turn over, she finally broke the pot and shouted, "Don't take it out, don't take it out!" I miss you, can't I miss you! Get up quickly!"

After Kang Jiangxue shouted this sentence, Lu Qiao stopped moving. Kang Jiangxue was startled for a while, then raised her head slightly, and saw the plain upper.Ping Wuqi had just entered the door from the outside, with a group of people behind him, and at this moment he was watching the tragic scene of the little emperor being hugged and thrown with the group of people.

Kang Jiangxue wanted to jump up, but Lu Qiao, who used to always remember to save face for the little emperor, rarely let go. The little emperor could only lie on the ground helplessly, listening to the plain report: "Your Majesty, tonight's birthday banquet There are a lot of passengers, and the inner court is worried about the lack of manpower around His Majesty, so they specially transferred several imperial guards to his Majesty to strengthen his guard. They are all the best soldiers in the army at present, in order to guard His Majesty comprehensively."

Forbidden Army?

Kang Jiangxue didn't hear anything else clearly, only heard the word "forbidden army", he immediately tilted his head to look, and indeed saw a particularly tall and outstanding figure among the group of people.

The man was looking at her. Although the expression was not clear, but the outline was clear... Kang Jiangxue thumped in her heart, but before she could react, Lu Qiao had already forcefully picked him up from the ground.

Lu Qiao's voice was full of wind and rain, and she said coldly in that direction: "My surname is Sheng, why are you here?"
