I was a salted fish in ancient times

The next day, when Xie Zhui opened his eyes, Xiao Shan was still sleeping.Xie Zhui was sore, soft, painful and swollen all over. He didn't get up immediately, and lay quietly on the bed without moving.

Last night he had a thought, which made the two of them quarrel until midnight.

Since the death of Old Master Gu, Xiao Shan wore plain clothes on weekdays and paid more attention to his food, and he never had fun with him.

Ordinarily, after the death of Mr. Gu, the Queen and Concubine Lan only need a little work for five months.As a prince, Xiao Shan didn't need to do this, but he still silently tried his best.

So last night the two had a bit of a fight.

In the end, he even took a shower with his sleepiness, and then went back to bed and fell asleep quickly.

Xie recalled his performance last night, and Shen Yi's face floated—Xu Bohong.

The world has always been reserved about sexual intercourse. Over the past century, women and younger brothers have been subtly educated to be dignified and generous, reserved and not frivolous. All matters between the beds are left to men.

Actively hooking up with such a thing is absolutely forbidden for a wife and a gentleman, otherwise people will say that they are debauched.Everyone acquiesces that this is the method of low-class people, and then describes this group of people as coquettish people, rascals.

But Xie Zhui didn't have this kind of thinking, perhaps because he had experienced too much life and death, his thinking was completely different from that of the general wife and king in the backyard.Xiao Shan wanted to know what he was thinking, so he said it.

He wants, he expresses.

Although afterward, it feels a little ashamed to think of the scene at that time, but deep down in my heart I don't feel embarrassed.And even if he didn't say a word at first, Xiao Shan always liked to use various means to make him speak his mind unconsciously.

Xiao Shan opened his eyes—before he yawned, he saw the flushed Xie Zhui, he was startled—he quickly reached out and touched the man's forehead, and asked, "What's wrong? Isn't it uncomfortable?"

Touching the temperature is normal and there is no sign of heat, why is his face so red, Xiao Shan thought a little puzzled.

Xie Zhui grabbed his hand and said, "I'm fine, I just feel a little hot."

"Hot?" Xiao Shan blinked, did you?He didn't seem to feel anything.

Seeing the embarrassment in Xie Zhui's dodging eyes, Xiao Shan suddenly understood something.

He let go of his propped arms, and after lying back on the bed again, he took the man to his side and said with a smile, "You and I are husband and wife."

Intimate contact between husband and wife is the most common thing.

Xiao Shan is very free with these things, this is something that both of them can feel happy, and there is no need to think too much when doing happy things.But this is his own idea, he will express it, but he will not impose it on Xie Zhui.

He knew that Xie Zhui blushed because he was embarrassed, so there was a little comfort in his tone.

Xie Zhui responded softly, and then said: "My lord, it's time to get up."

"Huh?" Xiao Shan's voice was lazy and long.

Xie Zhui immediately changed his words: "Xiao Shan, it's time to get up, and today I have to enter the palace to greet my concubine mother." He yelled the word Xiao Shan countless times last night, and now it is very fluent.

Xiao Shan smiled lightly and said, "Come on, it's up to you."

***

The two ate something casually and entered the palace to greet Concubine Lan.

Before going to meet Concubine Lan, they went to the queen.But the queen was not feeling well, so she didn't see them, and only let the palace servants come out to express her concern.

Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui came out from the Queen's Palace, and then went to Jinglan Hall.

Lan Fei's eyes are a little swollen today, but she looks energetic.Concubine Lan thought about the conversation between mother and son yesterday, and felt that she had indeed done something wrong.

Xu Shi felt a little sorry, she didn't embarrass Xie Zhui at all today, and felt sorry for Xiao Shan, so she left the two of them to eat with her.

During the meal, Concubine Lan kept muttering that Xiao Shan had lost weight and told him to eat more.

Xiao Shan is used to Concubine Lan's attitude, if he doesn't eat, Concubine Lan will look at him tearfully, so he just eats to be full.

Seeing that Xie Zhui had almost eaten, Xiao Shancai put down his chopsticks, feeling his stomach was a little full.

Concubine Lan was still complaining that he didn't eat enough, Xiao Shan couldn't refute it, she just smiled and said nothing, and could only say that there is a kind of hunger in this world - mother thinks you are hungry.

Seeing that Concubine Lan wanted him to eat a few more cakes, Xiao Shan resolutely refused: "Mother Concubine, there is no one who feeds people into fat."

Seeing that he was so determined, Concubine Lan was relieved.

She looked at Xie Zhui who also put down her chopsticks and said, "Pay more attention to what the prince likes to eat. Look, how thin people are."

Xie Zhui calmly responded.

Concubine Lan still doesn't like Xie Zhui, but today she tries to ignore him as much as possible.

Concubine Lan asked Xiao Shan a lot of questions, telling her worries about the past few months.

Xiao Shan was very patient, he would answer whatever Concubine Lan asked, and the scope was limited to basic necessities of life. As for the other Concubine Lan, she only sighed that Liu Jingxuan should not have done this, but Xiao Shan just smiled and said nothing.

When it was almost time, Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui left the palace.

Concubine Lan felt that her relationship with Xiao Shan had returned to normal, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.But she just mentioned it again in this tone, because she heard that the queen was sick, and she just passed the news to the imperial doctor.

The queen is sick, as a concubine and a younger sister, she must go to visit her.

Concubine Ke Lan didn't want to go at all, or didn't dare to go.

Ever since her father Gu Yan told her that he might be the one who angered Mr. Gu away, Concubine Lan couldn't help feeling guilty when she saw the queen.It is also a granddaughter, the queen is the eldest granddaughter, and she is more respectable than her in front of Mr. Gu.

It's not that Mr. Gu doesn't love her, it's just that the relationship between her and Mr. Gu is not as deep as that between the Queen and Mr. Gu.This is the same reason as others value Gu's family.

Concubine Lan really didn't dare to think, if the queen knew

Now that Xiao Shan has confirmed Liu Jingxuan's crime, Concubine Lan doesn't want to see the queen even more.

She even felt that the queen's illness was caused by these things.

But it was impossible not to go, so Lan Fei had no choice but to rub her face, trying not to look so guilty.

The news of the queen's illness quickly spread to the East Palace.

Xiao Jin tidied up and was ready to meet the queen, Liu Jingyi was also a little anxious when she heard the news.She is pregnant now, and her walking is not as easy as it was at the beginning, her limbs are still a little edema, and she has gained a lot of weight.

After what Liu Jingxuan committed was confirmed, even though Liu Jingyi kept comforting herself, she was still worried about getting sick.

Fortunately, Xiao Jin had been paying attention to her physical condition and called the imperial doctor in time.

Seeing her get up, Xiao Jin couldn't help but said: "You are heavy, rest well, I'll just go by myself."

Liu Jingyi looked at him quietly, and finally she lowered her eyes and stroked her belly with her hand, saying: "I know that I shouldn't go out at this time, so as not to hear some gossip, I just want to send His Royal Highness out of the palace, His Royal Highness Plead guilty for the courtiers and concubines with the same mother."

Xiao Jin knew that she was uncomfortable and missed Liu Jingxuan, so his words were inevitably thorny, but this kind of thing was not because he was ruthless not going to the emperor to intercede for Liu Jingxuan.

As an ordinary son, he might be able to kneel in front of the emperor and say this indiscriminately.But as the prince of Da Zhou, he couldn't ask for this favor.

Only the emperor can decide this matter, and the others can only wait for the result.

But Xiao Jin can understand Liu Jingyi's mood. Liu Jingxuan is her biological brother, and he is not a heinous person in front of her.

She was worried that Liu Jingxuan was human.

When encountering this kind of thing, he could only try his best to enlighten him from the sidelines, and in the end, Liu Jingyi had to figure it out on his own.

Now the emperor has not approved Liu Shu's resignation letter, presided over the trial of other officials, and has not asked Liu Jingxuan yet.No one can guess whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

All they can do is wait.

So Xiao Jin said: "I have no other intentions, and the queen mother will not blame you. You can rest assured that I will come back to accompany you soon."

Liu Jingyi's eyes were sore, she nodded and said: "Okay, my concubine will wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She knew that she was making trouble for no reason, which was not a good thing for a person with the status of a princess, but when she heard Xiao Jin's words of concern at this time, she felt all kinds of feelings in her heart.

Xiao Jin smiled, shook her hand, and turned to leave.

Liu Jingyi looked at his back, with various emotions in her eyes, and then she was supported by the maid and slowly returned to her room to rest.

When Xiao Jin went, Concubine Lan, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu and other concubines had already arrived.

The Queen has a cough and has no other symptoms.

After Xiao Jin came, the emperor sent those concubines away.

Concubine Lan walked quickly, with a guilty conscience that she didn't dare to talk to Xiao Jinduo.

Seeing her attitude, Xiao Jin couldn't help but said in front of the queen: "Mother, is Empress Lan avoiding you these days?"

The queen coughed twice and said angrily: "Her temperament, everything is written on her face, and she feels that it is not easy to face you and me because of what King Li did."

Xiao Jin said lightly: "What does Liu Jingxuan's sins have to do with the third younger brother. The queen mother should understand that if she is the eldest brother and goes to Liangzhou this time, the child will probably be blamed on this matter."

The queen nodded: "I understand, I'm just worried. It's because of this that you broke your arm." This arm does not refer to Liu Jingxuan, but to his father, Liu Shu, a scholar in charge of the Hanlin Academy.

Liu Shu walked in front of the imperial court, supervised scientific research, and drafted edicts, which won the emperor's favor.If the emperor really allows him to resign, it will really lose a lot of help for Xiao Jin.

Now there are a lot of people staring at Liu Shu's position, they are noisy in the court hall, saying that Liu Shu is not strict in discipline, and some of Liu Shu's knowledge is not reported.All in all—in a word, they want to push Liu Shu down and replace them with their own people.

Although the emperor has his heart towards the prince, it is impossible not to consider the current situation.

Xiao Jin also felt a pity in his heart, but the matter has come to this point, all he can do is try his best to remedy it.

He even had to plan for the worst. Liu Shuzhen was no longer in this position. The key was who he wanted to push and whether he could succeed.

Xiao Jin thought about these things until he was interrupted by the Queen's cough, so he put away his thoughts and said, "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry too much. We'll talk about this matter after the results from the Queen's side."

The queen coughed and nodded: "I just want to remind you, it stands to reason that the Liu family is no longer good, and there is the Gu family, your uncle is the most suitable. But now the Gu family has queens and concubines, and there are princes and princes' grandchildren, if your uncle is here Going forward, being able to draft an imperial edict, the emperor may feel uncomfortable."

"I know." Xiao Jin said: "If uncle is really pushed to the throne, father and emperor will be afraid of his son and minister."

"You must not mention this matter. Fortunately, your uncle and the others are in the filial piety period, and some people in the court want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble and no one will accompany them." The queen said, and after she finished speaking, she said sullenly: "You must mention it." It would make the emperor unhappy, but if it were King Li who raised it, although the emperor would not agree, he would definitely not think too much about it."

From this point of view, the emperor really favored Xiao Shan.

"Only the third younger brother dared to say this in front of the emperor inside and outside the court." Xiao Jin smiled and said, "Third younger brother's freshness, I like it very much."

The queen fell silent.

This kind of thing can only be said to have gains and losses.

***

Xiao Shan heard that the queen was really ill, so he dragged Xie to chase him into the palace again.

The queen coughed and said, "I've come here to pay my respects. I didn't see you because I was afraid that I might pass on the sickness to you. I insisted on making this trip."

Xiao Shan said seriously: "If you don't make this trip, my son's heart will always be unsteady. Now that I see my mother, I can feel more at ease."

The queen looked at Xiao Shan, thought of Xiao Jin's words, and said with a smile: "You are the only one who likes people."

Xiao Shan said cheekily: "Your minister speaks the truth, and the truth is naturally likable."

After seeing the queen, he greeted Concubine Lan again.

Concubine Lan was thoughtful, with a weary look on her face, she sent them out of the palace after a few words with them.

After leaving the palace, Xiao Shan didn't let the car go back to the house directly, but took Xie Zhui to eat the roast chicken of Wanxiangju.

According to Xiao Shan, the roast chicken in Wanxiangju is the best in the entire capital.

Xiao Shan had already made a plan. After eating the roast chicken, he took Xie Zhui to Ji Yuzhai to buy accessories.

But they ate the roast chicken, but Ji Yuzhai didn't go.

Because in Wanxiangju, they met Yin Tong and Xu Guang.

Zuo Li, Yin Tong, and Xu Guang were all Xie Zhui's subordinates, and it has been several months since the three of them returned to Beijing from the northern border to report on their duties.

Seeing Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui, Yin Tong and Xu Guang were also stunned, and then the four of them sat together in the private room of Wanxiangju.

After the door of the private room was closed, Xu Guang grabbed Yin Tong and saluted Xiao Shan, and then bowed and thanked him.

Sitting down again, none of the four spoke.

Xiao Shan looked at Xie Zhui, and then at the left and right generals who looked more reserved. They didn't speak, so he had no choice but to speak: "The two generals have been back to the capital for some time, why haven't they left the capital yet?"

He didn't worry much about the affairs of the court, so he didn't pay attention to the movements of the northern border army when he came back from Liangzhou.

Naturally, they didn't know that Yin Tong and Xu Guang were still in Beijing.

Yin Tong opened his mouth to say something, but Xu Guang stepped on his foot under the table.

Yin Tong grinned, thinking of Xie Zhui's identity at the moment, he didn't say what he wanted to say in his heart, but his expression was a bit sullen.

Xu Guang smiled slightly, "If you go back to the prince, the two officials are waiting for the emperor's order, and they will leave Beijing soon."

This - it looks like there is something inside.

For Xiao Shan, he will definitely not force things that others don't want to say.It's just that when he saw Xie Zhui frowned slightly, his heart softened. If he said that Xie Zhui had no feelings for the Northern Border Army, it must be a lie.

After all, it was the soldiers that I brought out from the pool of blood. Now even if the identity has changed, the friendship of living and dying together is still there.

So Xiao Shan raised his eyebrows and said: "If the two adults have any difficulties, the king and the king can help - definitely help."

Xu Guang pursed his lips and was about to say something, when Xie Zhui interrupted: "Where's Deputy General Zuo Li?"

The relationship between these three people is very good, but Xu Guang keeps saying that something happened to the two of them.

"The general asked him what to do." Yin Tong still didn't control his mouth, and couldn't help but said: "He is a swan now, with aspirations for thousands of miles, how dare we chicks compare him to him."
