###Dreamland###
It was snowing heavily.
The roofs on both sides of the street are piled with layers of snow, and ice edges hang from the eaves.The snow on the bluestone slab was swept to the sides to form continuous hills, but there was still a thin layer of new snow under the feet.
Lin Shaoan just came back from buying a new stack of paper, and hurried on the road.The snowdrift next to Leng Buding fell down, Lin Shaoan was startled and stopped in his tracks.
A palm-sized white ball-shaped creature rolled to the ground along with the scattered white snow, bumped into Lin Shaoan's ankle, and then fell back with a slap, revealing a piece of white belly fluff.
"This is... a fox?"
Lin Shaoan looked at the little thing on the ground with some hesitation, and saw the latter turned over from the ground in a jerk, raised his little furry head and looked over.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lin Shaoan always felt that the fox's eyes were very strange, with a sense of intimacy and...benevolence for no reason?
Lin Shaoan, who has never been close to animals, was defeated by the stare at Bu Mu. He gathered the rice paper in his arms, freed one hand to carefully lift Bu Mu from the ground, and approached Bu Mu not far or near. With such a concession, Mu Teng returned home in mid-air.
It's home, but it's not.
Lin Shaoan was originally the son of a peasant family in a small border town, talented and intelligent, and a young governor.His parents have worked hard since he was a child, and sent him to study with the little money in the family. He also strives for success. He became a scholar at the age of 16, and won the Juren at the age of 19.Several small towns on the border know that their Lin family has a child prodigy.
Now Lin Shaoan is 21 years old, and in half a year's time, he will be able to participate in the examination.Because of his fame and fame, many people sent some money to their family. In order to prepare for the test, Lin Shaoan brought the money and things to live in Yanjing, the capital of the Daqing Dynasty.
A courtyard and two low rooms are where Lin Shaoan lives in Yanjing.
Two months later...
"Mumu, wait, don't run!"
The white figure flashed away from the corner of the wall, nimbly ran up the wall, turned around and jumped into the bathtub with a "plop".Lin Shaoan was caught off guard and was splashed with water. He stood helplessly at the same spot, and as soon as he made a move to approach, Bu Mu flicked his tail and splashed more water.
Lin Shaoan was not annoyed at him, but just watched helplessly, his expression full of disappointment.
Bu Mu slowly waved his short legs up and down in the water, turning back to comb his hair from time to time.
The two have been getting along for a while. Lin Shaoan has been at a loss for Bumu from the beginning, and now he has evolved into a super nanny.One person and one fox eat, live, and sleep together, and the relationship heats up sharply.
The only thing is that this fox will not let Lin Shaoan bathe it no matter what, which makes Lin Shaoan, who has already started to like little foxes, feel very disappointed.
After another undisturbed bath, Bu Mu rested his paws on the edge of the barrel, and waited for Lin Shaoan to come over with his wet fur.
A dry soft cloth wrapped Bu Mu's upper body sticking out of the water, and Lin Shaoan lifted Bu Mu up with a little effort, wrapped it in the cloth and hugged it to his chest.Compared with Bumu's body as big as a palm when we first met, at this time he has grown to the length of his forearm, and he is rounded up into a bulging lump, which makes Lin Shaoan very satisfied to hold him.
When he came to the study, Bu Mushui jumped out of his arms, shook his hair quite skillfully, and then slumped down on the soft cushion that Lin Shaoan specially laid for him on the side of the desk.
Lin Shaoan brushed his hair briefly, but instead of taking out the book and starting to review as usual, he also lay down on the table and put his face in front of Bu Mu's pointed nose.
"Mumu, tomorrow is the poetry competition before the test. I heard that the prince will personally preside over the overall situation this time, and whoever wins the first prize must be in the eyes of the prince and get a good official position."
Bu Mu blinked disinterestedly, poetry or something, of course the one who wins the first place must be his own protagonist.He yawned and rolled over lazily.
However, Lin Shaoan was not affected by Bu Mu's perfunctory attitude at all. Instead, he showed a longing smile and raised his hand to rub Bu Mu's soft fur.
"Do you know that the current prosperity of the Daqing Dynasty is all due to the emperor. Today, the emperor is a wise emperor, with strict laws, hardworking, and not close to women. And the prince is also extremely good, sensible, and knowledgeable. Advance and retreat, assisting the Holy Majesty to create the prosperity of Daqing today. If I can work under such a person and contribute to the prosperity of Daqing, even if I can’t leave a name in history, I will die without regret.”
Hearing Lin Shaoan's words, Bu Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed old-fashionedly.
He raised his head and rubbed Lin Shaoan's face, thinking: The protagonist is so stupid, it really depends on the witty Bu Mumu to help him along the way...
Lin Shaoan felt the furry touch on the side of his face for some unknown reason, and he seemed a little flattered by Bu Mu's sudden closeness, and he didn't even know that his own fox was pretending to be arrogant in his heart.
The next morning, when the cock crows for the third time.
Lin Shaoan and Bu Mu woke up together on the bed in the study.
Lin Shaoan straightened his clothes and shook out the fox that was nestled in his arms.The white ball of hair fell onto the thick quilt with a snap, and made a low moan, before opening its eyes, it subconsciously moved a few times, and quickly sank into the depths of the quilt, leaving only the tail protruding a little White tips.
"Pfft." Lin Shaoan covered his mouth and climbed out of bed softly.No matter how many times he saw this fox lying on the bed, he couldn't help laughing.
The wind is cold outside the house, and in February, only the cold plums in the yard are dotted with the paleness of the end of winter.Lin Shaoan took off his outer shirt and put it on, pushed the door open where only one person could come in and out, and walked out.
When he came back after finishing everything, more than half an hour had passed.Pushing open the door, Bu Mu was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head drooping, his two front paws hanging down in front of him, like a human being.
"Mumu, it's time for us to go." Lin Shaoan called him softly, trying to reach out and hug him.Seeing Bu Mu's ears shaking, he avoided his hand subconsciously, twisted his body, and jumped off the ground nimbly, walking out with steps.
Lin Shaoan followed him, watching him walk in the yard along a strange route, until he stopped in front of a tree and looked up, his eyes seemed a little confused.
Bu Mu yawned, and then realized that he didn't get up and brush his teeth at home.Just as he was about to turn back to find Lin Shaoan, he suddenly felt himself flying into the air!He kicked his legs twice indiscriminately, and then was hugged into a warm embrace.Bu Mu was taken into a carriage, and followed Lin Shaoan unsteadily to the Yunjing Lake Poetry Contest.
……
The winter snow has just melted, and the water of Yunjing Lake reflects the mountains, showing a strange emerald blue.There is a wide wooden platform in the middle of the lake, with three floors from large to small, and many tables, chairs, wine and food have been placed.On the platform to the east stands a small pavilion with cornices, paved with brocade cloth, gorgeous and exquisite.
Bu Mu climbed onto Lin Shaoan's shoulder two or three times, hooked his long tail once, and then sat down firmly on his shoulder.His round black eyes reflected the clear water and blue sky, showing a different kind of brilliance.
Lin Shaoan has a handsome face, a scholarly temperament, and a little fox with snow-white fur on his shoulders. Under the warm sun at the end of winter, he looks as quiet and beautiful as a picture scroll.
But someone just wanted to spoil the atmosphere.
"Young Master Lin is doing well these days. He even has pets. But such a grand event, how can you bring an animal that is not psychic to the stage? What if it bumps into someone! Are you still alive?" Xiao, this move is reckless, too reckless." The blue-robed scholar shook the fan in his hand, and put on a show of exhortation, which attracted the attention of many people around.
The surname is Yang and the name is Jian. He is a native of Yanjing, and his father is an important minister in the court.He has always looked down upon scholars from these small places.However, Lin Shaoan always overwhelmed him in terms of talent and even reputation, which made him feel ashamed, so he ran on everywhere.
Lin Shaoan frowned slightly.Normally, he wouldn't talk to such a boring person at all, but since Mumu was involved, he was a little worried that Mumu was too smart and would be unhappy because of these words.
Thinking of this, Lin Shaoan raised his hand to caress Fu Bumu's back, and said loudly: "This fox's surname is Lin, and his name is Mu. He is a friend I met by chance. Mr. Yang's words are very impolite. My friend apologizes."
Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed angrily at him, "You asked me to apologize to a beast?!"
As soon as the words fell, he felt his heart jump, as if a cold breath crawled up from behind.Yang Jian looked up, and saw the fox on Lin Shaoan's shoulder staring straight at him, and there seemed to be a red light flashing in his dark black eyes.
When he took a closer look, there were only lakes and mountains reflected in it.The warm sunlight sprinkled on his body with a slight heat, as if the weird feeling just now was just an illusion.
Yang Jian didn't take this to heart, and when he came back to his senses, he took a few steps forward with a smile on his face, and teased, "It's just a stinky fox, but it's still Lin Mu, isn't it also included in your Lin family tree? Speaking of which, Lin Juren is now twenty and one and has not married a wife or had children. Did he raise the fox as his son? If so, I really want to apologize, I am really sorry, little fox."
"Woo hoo..." Bu Mu roared in a low voice, his fangs were ready to rush forward!
Lin Shaoan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, felt the tail around his neck move slightly, so he quickly caught Bu Mu and put him in his arms to comfort him.Bu Muzhen can't be allowed to rush out here, otherwise Yang Jian will seize the opportunity to make a big fuss.
Yang Jian smiled smugly, just when he heard a shrill voice from the lake calling to welcome Qing and the prince, he quickly gathered up the corner of his clothes and went to greet him.
Lin Shaoan frowned to see him go away, and then put Bu Mu down.
The surname of the Daqing Dynasty was Li, and the prince of Qinghe was called Li Yongqing, who had always had a good reputation among the people.This was the first time that Lin Shaoan saw Prince Qinghe with his own eyes—the body was covered in thick purple satin, and the collar and cuffs were trimmed with white fluff.Tall and tall, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes looking forward, he has a certain poise—surrounded by a crowd, he sat down in the cornice pavilion on the east side, and officially announced the beginning of the poetry competition.
On the platform on the lake, one side is a railing for viewing, the other side is a sunshade for resting, and there is a long table in the middle.These juren scholars who came to participate in the poetry meeting formed a group of several people, went to the middle to observe the scenery and compose poems, and then judged by the people in the field, and finally the prince came to select the best works among them.
It is simple to say, but the waiting process is not boring.Bu Mu didn't have the slightest interest in these things, plus he was in a hurry to go out, and before he had breakfast, he sneaked to the table where the food was provided, and began to feast on it while everyone was paying attention to the poetry meeting in the field.
Li Yongqing propped his chin with one hand, and was feeling bored while sitting in the pavilion. From the corner of the corner of his eye, he saw a white creature sitting on the edge of a large plate in the corner of the table on the left, with its fluffy tail in the air behind him unconsciously. twisting and turning.
"Pfft." Li Yongqing couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.
The attendant next to him hurried forward, "My lord, do you have any orders?"
A spoiler, a spoiler.
Li Yongqing glanced at the attendant casually with a pair of peach blossom eyes, withdrew the smile on his face, and said lightly: "It's nothing, you step back."
"Yes!" The attendant nodded solemnly, took a step back from the prince, and stood one meter away from him.
"Back 'far' a little more." Li Yongqing emphasized the pronunciation of the word "far".
"Yes!" The attendant nodded solemnly, took a step back from one meter away from the prince, and stood two meters away from him.
Li Yongqing rolled his eyes vaguely, and told the attendant, "Forget it, you disappear from my king's sight now."
"My lord, turn your head away, and the officer will disappear from your sight." The attendant said solemnly, his tone full of sincerity.
"..." Li Yongqing turned his head away, too lazy to pay any attention to him.
The poetry competition on the field was still going on, but Li Yongqing's attention was attracted by Bu Mu at the corner of the table, and his eyes never returned to the center of the field.
……
"'Yun Qinggull dances more, wind against geese can't move'... Well, what a poem! Lin Juren is really talented, this sentence has a charm compared to Mr. Yang's song just now. Today's leader is probably not Lin Juren No way!"
"Heroes are born in youth, Lin Juren has such talent at such a young age, and his future is boundless."
"Where is it, everyone, please don't flatter and kill me..."
Lin Shaoan's poems and essays were placed on the long table, and the literati rushed over to watch them.Yang Jian couldn't see Lin Shaoan arching his hands in a modest manner, so he snorted coldly and walked to the side.When he turned his gaze, he happened to see Bu Mu sitting at the table.
"Fox, fox, you are a comfortable animal, but do you know that your father has made me miserable?"
Bu Mu glared at him, turned his head and ignored him.
But Yang Jian got excited, "Could you be angry, you little thing? Can you understand what I said? Let me tell you, Lin Shaoan is still a little simple. He is now a good man, at best he will be a Jinshi in the end. When it's upside down, my father can make him unable to turn over with one hand!"
"If you're really smart, why don't you come here and make fun of me, the young master will ensure that you are well fed and clothed, and you will be served by a maid. Otherwise, Lin Shao'an will not be able to protect you by himself, so don't blame me for taking your fur to make a fox fur!" "Yang Jian said, and grabbed Bu Mu with one hand.
Bu Mu's eyes were red, and he dodged to avoid his hand, jumped up and landed on his back with four claws, kicking him down directly!The monster power in Bu Mu's body directly penetrated his inner mansion through the small meat pad, and carved a bright red energy mark in Yang Jian's body.
This mark will not kill him on the spot, but it will make Yang Jian feel severe pain all over his body every night when the yin energy is at its heaviest.
"Ouch!" Yang Jian was thrown forward by Bu Mu's unexpectedly strong kick, sweeping the dishes all over the floor.
When everyone heard the movement here, they all looked over.
Yang Jian propped himself up from the table, realized the situation at this moment, quickly pointed to Bu Mu and said loudly: "It's it! I just came over to rest my feet, but this fox suddenly went berserk and rushed over to bite me!"
"Why are there foxes here?" Someone asked aloud.
"I brought it here." Lin Shaoan lowered his head slightly and walked over from behind the crowd.Seeing him coming, Bu Mu returned to his shoulder and stared at Yang Jian angrily.
"Mumu won't hurt people for no reason. You must have provoked him before making him angry." Lin Shaoan said.
Yang Jian straightened up and smiled, "Look at what you're talking about, I won't be angry with a fox no matter what? Besides, you haven't seen the truth, so it's not good to speculate wildly. If you want to be credible If it’s too fast, why don’t you let this fox talk?”
"You, you deceive people too much!" Lin Shaoan blushed angrily.
Yang Jian shouted at this time: "You are deceiving people too much! On such an occasion, the prince is still here, how can you bring a fox here? Isn't this taking Sai Shihui as a joke? How amazing is your talent? , This move is really inappropriate, not to mention that it caused trouble. In my opinion, Lin Juren should be disqualified from the poetry competition, and then the fox should be beaten to death and thrown out!"
"No!" Lin Shaoan was in a hurry, he raised his hand and subconsciously stroked Bu Mu's fur, and when he was about to say the words to withdraw from the poetry competition, he felt light on his shoulders.Looking up, I saw a white lightning heading straight for the cornice pavilion in the east!
Bu Mu had long felt that the situation was wrong, so he looked over Lin Shaoan's shoulder in the direction of his gaze that he had been aware of just now, facing the playful eyes of Shang Qing and Prince Li Yongqing.He immediately understood that the prince must have seen the conflict between him and Yang Jian!
Bu Mu flew away, and the guards who wanted to stop it caught him off guard and let him approach the pavilion.
The servant two meters behind the prince took out a bow and arrow, but he raised his hand to stop him.Li Yongqing narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you doing?"
The attendant said: "Report to the lord, there is a fox over there."
"This king knows, what you are asking is what you did without this king's order!"
"Report to the lord, I want to shoot that fox." The attendant said with a serious face.
Li Yongqing felt that talking to people with insufficient IQ was too tiring, so he simply waved his hand, "No! You step back."
"Yes!" The attendant nodded solemnly, took a step back from two meters away from the prince, and stood three meters away from him.
At this time, Bu Mu had already rushed to Li Yongqing's knee in three steps and two steps quickly.
Afraid that he would push his nose to his face, Li Yongqing stretched out his hand to hold Bu Mu, but saw that he didn't need to move, the white-haired fox had already sat peacefully on his lap, assuming a posture of negotiating.
Li Yongqing was overjoyed, stretched out his neatly trimmed nails and hooked Goubumu's furry chin, "You're a smart guy, you ran to me to hide when you got into trouble."
Bu Mu shook his head seriously, and suddenly stood up on Li Yongqing's lap, pressed a paw aggressively on his shoulder, approached him and whispered in his ear: "You have seen it all."
Qingyue's voice was so small that Li Yongqing's eyes widened and he wondered if he had auditory hallucinations.
He turned his head in disbelief to look at the fox face who was close to Chi Chi, and for the first time showed a stupid expression that even he couldn't help but want to scold him, and asked in the same low voice: "You can talk ?”
Bu Mu nodded seriously.
Li Yongqing blinked, put Bu Mu on his shoulder, and stood up from his seat.He beckoned to a maid, "Pass my words, Yang Jian is provocative... A fox disrupted the order of the poetry competition. This reckless move will disqualify him from the poetry competition. Let him go back."
When the words spread below, everyone looked different.They didn't know that Bu Mu could speak, and the prince happened to see that scene, and they only thought that the prince didn't like Yang Jian's style, so they distanced themselves from him as if nothing.
Yang Jian was shocked, and looked into the pavilion, only to see Li Yongqing grooming a snow-white fox with his back turned to him.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yang Jian seemed to see a strange smile on the face of the fox facing him...

******
A book is long, no book is short.
Time seems to turn from winter to spring in just a moment.The examination ended a few days ago, and Lin Shaoan was also full of ambition at home all day long.
Studying hard for ten years and getting a title on the gold list, this is probably the dream of all literati in the world, and for Lin Shaoan, it is even more important.Although Bu Mu knew the ending early, he also followed the ups and downs of his heart in this environment.
"Mumu, do you think I can get into the top ten?"
Lin Shaoan was reading the book, and suddenly such a sentence came out. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Shaoan laughed himself first.No matter how spiritual Mumu is, she is not a fox demon in those scripts, so how could she understand the meaning of what she said.
Bu Mu lay on the windowsill lazily raised his eyelids to look at him, opened his mouth and yawned.
Lin Shaoan rubbed him, and his anxious mood gradually calmed down.Anyway, he couldn't read the book now, so he simply picked up Bu Mu and walked to the front yard to bask in the sun.
The sunshine in spring is warm and slightly hot, like a handful of warm water, enveloping people in it.There is a peach tree in the small yard, which is full of peach blossoms.
Lin Shao'an was standing under the peach tree with Bu Mu in his arms. When a gust of wind blew, the pink petals fluttered down one after another.A bit of pink fell on Bu Mu's body, and Lin Shaoan felt a sense of satisfaction in love in a trance.
Bu Muzao in his arms closed his eyes, Lin Shaoan stared at his pointed nose and cute little face, and suddenly felt an urge to kiss him.
A rush of wheels came from far and near, interrupting this moment of reverie.
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, mixed with a man's festive voice: "Mr. Lin, open the door!"
Lin Shaoan's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling of excitement immediately filled his body.He walked quickly to the door and opened it. Before he could speak, he was sprayed with congratulatory fireworks all over his body.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, I'm here to pick you up for the palace examination." The man turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Shaoan.
"Excuse me."
Lin Shaoan thanked him and couldn't stop smiling.He raised his feet and was about to get on the car, but saw a pair of big hands stretched out horizontally, lifting Bu Mu out of his arms.
The middle-aged man carefully put Bu Mu on the ground, and said to Lin Shao'an: "Mr. Lin, this hall is no better than other places. Don't let this thing in the forest collide with the Holy Majesty."
Lin Shaoan frowned slightly, but he also understood the rules in the palace.If you take Bumu with you, you may never return.
"Just a moment please."
Lin Shaoan nodded slightly to the man, squatted down and looked at Bumu, "Mumu, I can't take you to the imperial examination, you stay at home and wait for me to come back." He was worried that Mumu would be alone at home, so he gave a few more instructions , Only then did the people who came to escort them enter the palace to participate in the palace examination.
Bu Mu stood on the ground and thought for a while, the palace is the most complicated, so nothing can go wrong at this time.He turned around and got into the bushes, and quickly followed in the direction of the palace...
hall...
Dozens of people are waiting in the hall, the youngest is 22-year-old Lin Shaoan, and the oldest is an old man in his fifties.
Two rows of academicians faced each other from left to right, and above them, a dragon chair carved with gold and jade was mighty and domineering.The person sitting on it was dressed in a yellow robe, with a high nose and deep eyes, and an imposing appearance. He was Li Yongming, the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty.
The so-called palace examination is based on the general examination, and the emperor personally selects talents.At this time, it depends not only on talent, but also on appearance.
"Lin Jinshi, what do you think the foundation of the country is?" An old man in sixties with white eyebrows and lacquered eyes asked Lin Shaoyuan a question.
Being named, Lin Shaoan was a little nervous.He thought for a while, then slowly said: "The root of a country lies in the people. There is an old saying that 'named heaven'..."
The words were neither humble nor overbearing, running through ancient and modern times, which attracted a group of great scholars to nod to Lin Shaoan again and again.They looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
The emperor above had a deep complexion, raised his hand and touched the jade wrench on his right thumb, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
……
After the palace examination was over, Lin Shaoan was stepping out of the gate of the palace examination and walking out of the palace, when suddenly a white-faced eunuch wearing a red-topped flower feather and a python robe embroidered with cranes stopped Lin Shaoan.
"Excuse me, what's the matter, father-in-law?" Seeing that he was dressed, Lin Shaoan knew that the eunuch's status was not low, so he asked respectfully.
"Long Live Lord, Lin Zhuangyuan, please come with me." The chief eunuch smiled at Lin Shaoan, and straightforwardly expressed his intention to come, and asked Lin Shaoan to follow behind him.
champion? !Lin Shaoan knew that it was his father-in-law secretly confiding in him, and he was agitated, wondering what the emperor wanted him for.He had always yearned for the strictness of the emperor, so it was hard to hide his nervousness when he was appreciated this time.
The eunuch turned his head to look at him, covered his mouth and smiled, and said in a soft voice: "Don't be nervous, Lin Zhuangyuan, the emperor is blessed to find you, and I hope Master Lin will grow up in the future and take care of us servants more."
"Father-in-law is too serious." Lin Shaoan swallowed, feeling that he would soon be unable to speak.
And the other side...
Bu Mu jumped out from the window of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, looked left and right for no one, and immediately let go of his feet and ran across the corridor.Subtle footsteps came from around the corner, and Bu Mu quickly ran behind the pillar and hid.
"Did a white thing flash past just now?" A court lady asked suspiciously.
"No, did you read it wrong?" Another court lady said.
"That's why I misunderstood. We have to go to the empress quickly, hurry up..."
The voice of the conversation quickly faded away, Bu Mu probed out to have a look, just turned around, and saw a purple robe covering the sky and blocking the sun in front of him.
Bu Mu stood stiffly on the spot, and lifted him to the front with a pair of slender and powerful palms.Li Yongqing smiled and said: "Look what I found, little fox, why are you here~"
Bu Mu raised his paw blankly, slapped the back of Li Yongqing's hand with the soft pad, and said seriously, "My name is Lin Mu."
"I think..." Bu Mu changed his tone, his big eyes fixed on Li Yongqing's, "Can you take me somewhere?"
……
On the way to the imperial study, the chief eunuch led Lin Shaoan for a while and then stopped, "I will send you here."
Lin Shaoan stood there in bewilderment, watching his father-in-law retreat quickly, feeling a little dazed.Just throw him here?He doesn't know the way to the palace.
Perhaps it was because the blankness on his face was too obvious, and a chuckle came from beside his ear: "With Zhen to guide you, are you still afraid of getting lost?"
Lin Shaoan was startled, turned around and saw Li Yongming standing behind him.Just now, he was above the main hall, far away from the emperor, but at this time Li Yongming was standing behind him, the hot air from his breath sprayed on Lin Shaoan's neck, causing Lin Shaoan's whole body to tremble slightly.When Lin Shaoan came back to his senses, he found that his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of Li Yongming.
"Emperor, Your Majesty?!"
Lin Shaoan took a big step back suddenly, he was about to kneel down and salute with his hands on his sleeves.
Li Yongming frowned slightly, and took a step forward to support his arm, "I don't like these fake things." While speaking, their bodies got closer and closer.
A strange feeling arose in Lin Shaoan's heart. He shook his head and took another step back, "Courtesy is priceless. Whether the emperor likes it or not, grassroots people have to do it."
Li Yongming looked at the drooping hair in front of him, and became a little impatient, "Raise your head up."
Lin Shaoan was startled, and raised his head obediently.
Seeing his handsome face, Li Yongming finally looked better.He said in a deep voice: "Lin Zhuangyuan, I came to you to ask you if you would like to enter the palace to accompany me. I admire your appearance and talent. If you agree, I can enter the court as an official." , to add a rich ink to my Daqing Dynasty."
Li Yongming's words were so straightforward that Lin Shaoan's head thumped and he was completely dumbfounded.
He had fantasized about being a tall horse and returning to his hometown; he had fantasized about standing in the court, admonishing the majestic emperor, getting criticism, approval, and even scolding.
But he never thought that the emperor was like this.
With such an outstanding appearance, wearing such noble clothes, saying such the most indecent and shameless words!
Lin Shaoan clasped his hands tightly together, his face pale.He looked elsewhere helplessly, and from the corner of his eye, a snow-white afterimage in the grass came straight to this side!
Bu Mu rushed to Lin Shaoan's feet with all his might, quickly sat down on his shoulder along his body, and swept his cheek with that big tail.
As if he suddenly had courage in his heart, Lin Shaoan's eyes were sour, and he immediately lowered his head.He bowed to Li Yongming and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I... the grassroots leave."
After speaking, without waiting for Li Yongming's consent, he stepped back quickly.
Li Yongming stood there watching Lin Shaoan's fleeing pace, glanced at it indifferently, turned and walked towards the imperial study.
After walking a few steps, when he turned a corner, Li Yongming saw his younger brother standing at the corner, squinting his eyes and looking at this side.
"Why are you here?" Li Yongming glanced at him and asked in a deep voice.I don't know how much he saw in that scene just now.
"It's nothing, just passing by by chance."
How long Li Yongqing has stood there is probably only he himself knows, he hooked the corners of his lips to his imperial brother, his flirtatious peach blossom eyes were half covered at this time.
He walked away, silently chewing two words, "Lin, Mu." Oh, interesting.
It was snowing heavily.
The roofs on both sides of the street are piled with layers of snow, and ice edges hang from the eaves.The snow on the bluestone slab was swept to the sides to form continuous hills, but there was still a thin layer of new snow under the feet.
Lin Shaoan just came back from buying a new stack of paper, and hurried on the road.The snowdrift next to Leng Buding fell down, Lin Shaoan was startled and stopped in his tracks.
A palm-sized white ball-shaped creature rolled to the ground along with the scattered white snow, bumped into Lin Shaoan's ankle, and then fell back with a slap, revealing a piece of white belly fluff.
"This is... a fox?"
Lin Shaoan looked at the little thing on the ground with some hesitation, and saw the latter turned over from the ground in a jerk, raised his little furry head and looked over.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Lin Shaoan always felt that the fox's eyes were very strange, with a sense of intimacy and...benevolence for no reason?
Lin Shaoan, who has never been close to animals, was defeated by the stare at Bu Mu. He gathered the rice paper in his arms, freed one hand to carefully lift Bu Mu from the ground, and approached Bu Mu not far or near. With such a concession, Mu Teng returned home in mid-air.
It's home, but it's not.
Lin Shaoan was originally the son of a peasant family in a small border town, talented and intelligent, and a young governor.His parents have worked hard since he was a child, and sent him to study with the little money in the family. He also strives for success. He became a scholar at the age of 16, and won the Juren at the age of 19.Several small towns on the border know that their Lin family has a child prodigy.
Now Lin Shaoan is 21 years old, and in half a year's time, he will be able to participate in the examination.Because of his fame and fame, many people sent some money to their family. In order to prepare for the test, Lin Shaoan brought the money and things to live in Yanjing, the capital of the Daqing Dynasty.
A courtyard and two low rooms are where Lin Shaoan lives in Yanjing.
Two months later...
"Mumu, wait, don't run!"
The white figure flashed away from the corner of the wall, nimbly ran up the wall, turned around and jumped into the bathtub with a "plop".Lin Shaoan was caught off guard and was splashed with water. He stood helplessly at the same spot, and as soon as he made a move to approach, Bu Mu flicked his tail and splashed more water.
Lin Shaoan was not annoyed at him, but just watched helplessly, his expression full of disappointment.
Bu Mu slowly waved his short legs up and down in the water, turning back to comb his hair from time to time.
The two have been getting along for a while. Lin Shaoan has been at a loss for Bumu from the beginning, and now he has evolved into a super nanny.One person and one fox eat, live, and sleep together, and the relationship heats up sharply.
The only thing is that this fox will not let Lin Shaoan bathe it no matter what, which makes Lin Shaoan, who has already started to like little foxes, feel very disappointed.
After another undisturbed bath, Bu Mu rested his paws on the edge of the barrel, and waited for Lin Shaoan to come over with his wet fur.
A dry soft cloth wrapped Bu Mu's upper body sticking out of the water, and Lin Shaoan lifted Bu Mu up with a little effort, wrapped it in the cloth and hugged it to his chest.Compared with Bumu's body as big as a palm when we first met, at this time he has grown to the length of his forearm, and he is rounded up into a bulging lump, which makes Lin Shaoan very satisfied to hold him.
When he came to the study, Bu Mushui jumped out of his arms, shook his hair quite skillfully, and then slumped down on the soft cushion that Lin Shaoan specially laid for him on the side of the desk.
Lin Shaoan brushed his hair briefly, but instead of taking out the book and starting to review as usual, he also lay down on the table and put his face in front of Bu Mu's pointed nose.
"Mumu, tomorrow is the poetry competition before the test. I heard that the prince will personally preside over the overall situation this time, and whoever wins the first prize must be in the eyes of the prince and get a good official position."
Bu Mu blinked disinterestedly, poetry or something, of course the one who wins the first place must be his own protagonist.He yawned and rolled over lazily.
However, Lin Shaoan was not affected by Bu Mu's perfunctory attitude at all. Instead, he showed a longing smile and raised his hand to rub Bu Mu's soft fur.
"Do you know that the current prosperity of the Daqing Dynasty is all due to the emperor. Today, the emperor is a wise emperor, with strict laws, hardworking, and not close to women. And the prince is also extremely good, sensible, and knowledgeable. Advance and retreat, assisting the Holy Majesty to create the prosperity of Daqing today. If I can work under such a person and contribute to the prosperity of Daqing, even if I can’t leave a name in history, I will die without regret.”
Hearing Lin Shaoan's words, Bu Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed old-fashionedly.
He raised his head and rubbed Lin Shaoan's face, thinking: The protagonist is so stupid, it really depends on the witty Bu Mumu to help him along the way...
Lin Shaoan felt the furry touch on the side of his face for some unknown reason, and he seemed a little flattered by Bu Mu's sudden closeness, and he didn't even know that his own fox was pretending to be arrogant in his heart.
The next morning, when the cock crows for the third time.
Lin Shaoan and Bu Mu woke up together on the bed in the study.
Lin Shaoan straightened his clothes and shook out the fox that was nestled in his arms.The white ball of hair fell onto the thick quilt with a snap, and made a low moan, before opening its eyes, it subconsciously moved a few times, and quickly sank into the depths of the quilt, leaving only the tail protruding a little White tips.
"Pfft." Lin Shaoan covered his mouth and climbed out of bed softly.No matter how many times he saw this fox lying on the bed, he couldn't help laughing.
The wind is cold outside the house, and in February, only the cold plums in the yard are dotted with the paleness of the end of winter.Lin Shaoan took off his outer shirt and put it on, pushed the door open where only one person could come in and out, and walked out.
When he came back after finishing everything, more than half an hour had passed.Pushing open the door, Bu Mu was sitting on the edge of the bed with his head drooping, his two front paws hanging down in front of him, like a human being.
"Mumu, it's time for us to go." Lin Shaoan called him softly, trying to reach out and hug him.Seeing Bu Mu's ears shaking, he avoided his hand subconsciously, twisted his body, and jumped off the ground nimbly, walking out with steps.
Lin Shaoan followed him, watching him walk in the yard along a strange route, until he stopped in front of a tree and looked up, his eyes seemed a little confused.
Bu Mu yawned, and then realized that he didn't get up and brush his teeth at home.Just as he was about to turn back to find Lin Shaoan, he suddenly felt himself flying into the air!He kicked his legs twice indiscriminately, and then was hugged into a warm embrace.Bu Mu was taken into a carriage, and followed Lin Shaoan unsteadily to the Yunjing Lake Poetry Contest.
……
The winter snow has just melted, and the water of Yunjing Lake reflects the mountains, showing a strange emerald blue.There is a wide wooden platform in the middle of the lake, with three floors from large to small, and many tables, chairs, wine and food have been placed.On the platform to the east stands a small pavilion with cornices, paved with brocade cloth, gorgeous and exquisite.
Bu Mu climbed onto Lin Shaoan's shoulder two or three times, hooked his long tail once, and then sat down firmly on his shoulder.His round black eyes reflected the clear water and blue sky, showing a different kind of brilliance.
Lin Shaoan has a handsome face, a scholarly temperament, and a little fox with snow-white fur on his shoulders. Under the warm sun at the end of winter, he looks as quiet and beautiful as a picture scroll.
But someone just wanted to spoil the atmosphere.
"Young Master Lin is doing well these days. He even has pets. But such a grand event, how can you bring an animal that is not psychic to the stage? What if it bumps into someone! Are you still alive?" Xiao, this move is reckless, too reckless." The blue-robed scholar shook the fan in his hand, and put on a show of exhortation, which attracted the attention of many people around.
The surname is Yang and the name is Jian. He is a native of Yanjing, and his father is an important minister in the court.He has always looked down upon scholars from these small places.However, Lin Shaoan always overwhelmed him in terms of talent and even reputation, which made him feel ashamed, so he ran on everywhere.
Lin Shaoan frowned slightly.Normally, he wouldn't talk to such a boring person at all, but since Mumu was involved, he was a little worried that Mumu was too smart and would be unhappy because of these words.
Thinking of this, Lin Shaoan raised his hand to caress Fu Bumu's back, and said loudly: "This fox's surname is Lin, and his name is Mu. He is a friend I met by chance. Mr. Yang's words are very impolite. My friend apologizes."
Yang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then laughed angrily at him, "You asked me to apologize to a beast?!"
As soon as the words fell, he felt his heart jump, as if a cold breath crawled up from behind.Yang Jian looked up, and saw the fox on Lin Shaoan's shoulder staring straight at him, and there seemed to be a red light flashing in his dark black eyes.
When he took a closer look, there were only lakes and mountains reflected in it.The warm sunlight sprinkled on his body with a slight heat, as if the weird feeling just now was just an illusion.
Yang Jian didn't take this to heart, and when he came back to his senses, he took a few steps forward with a smile on his face, and teased, "It's just a stinky fox, but it's still Lin Mu, isn't it also included in your Lin family tree? Speaking of which, Lin Juren is now twenty and one and has not married a wife or had children. Did he raise the fox as his son? If so, I really want to apologize, I am really sorry, little fox."
"Woo hoo..." Bu Mu roared in a low voice, his fangs were ready to rush forward!
Lin Shaoan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, felt the tail around his neck move slightly, so he quickly caught Bu Mu and put him in his arms to comfort him.Bu Muzhen can't be allowed to rush out here, otherwise Yang Jian will seize the opportunity to make a big fuss.
Yang Jian smiled smugly, just when he heard a shrill voice from the lake calling to welcome Qing and the prince, he quickly gathered up the corner of his clothes and went to greet him.
Lin Shaoan frowned to see him go away, and then put Bu Mu down.
The surname of the Daqing Dynasty was Li, and the prince of Qinghe was called Li Yongqing, who had always had a good reputation among the people.This was the first time that Lin Shaoan saw Prince Qinghe with his own eyes—the body was covered in thick purple satin, and the collar and cuffs were trimmed with white fluff.Tall and tall, with a pair of peach-blossom eyes looking forward, he has a certain poise—surrounded by a crowd, he sat down in the cornice pavilion on the east side, and officially announced the beginning of the poetry competition.
On the platform on the lake, one side is a railing for viewing, the other side is a sunshade for resting, and there is a long table in the middle.These juren scholars who came to participate in the poetry meeting formed a group of several people, went to the middle to observe the scenery and compose poems, and then judged by the people in the field, and finally the prince came to select the best works among them.
It is simple to say, but the waiting process is not boring.Bu Mu didn't have the slightest interest in these things, plus he was in a hurry to go out, and before he had breakfast, he sneaked to the table where the food was provided, and began to feast on it while everyone was paying attention to the poetry meeting in the field.
Li Yongqing propped his chin with one hand, and was feeling bored while sitting in the pavilion. From the corner of the corner of his eye, he saw a white creature sitting on the edge of a large plate in the corner of the table on the left, with its fluffy tail in the air behind him unconsciously. twisting and turning.
"Pfft." Li Yongqing couldn't hold back his laughter for a moment.
The attendant next to him hurried forward, "My lord, do you have any orders?"
A spoiler, a spoiler.
Li Yongqing glanced at the attendant casually with a pair of peach blossom eyes, withdrew the smile on his face, and said lightly: "It's nothing, you step back."
"Yes!" The attendant nodded solemnly, took a step back from the prince, and stood one meter away from him.
"Back 'far' a little more." Li Yongqing emphasized the pronunciation of the word "far".
"Yes!" The attendant nodded solemnly, took a step back from one meter away from the prince, and stood two meters away from him.
Li Yongqing rolled his eyes vaguely, and told the attendant, "Forget it, you disappear from my king's sight now."
"My lord, turn your head away, and the officer will disappear from your sight." The attendant said solemnly, his tone full of sincerity.
"..." Li Yongqing turned his head away, too lazy to pay any attention to him.
The poetry competition on the field was still going on, but Li Yongqing's attention was attracted by Bu Mu at the corner of the table, and his eyes never returned to the center of the field.
……
"'Yun Qinggull dances more, wind against geese can't move'... Well, what a poem! Lin Juren is really talented, this sentence has a charm compared to Mr. Yang's song just now. Today's leader is probably not Lin Juren No way!"
"Heroes are born in youth, Lin Juren has such talent at such a young age, and his future is boundless."
"Where is it, everyone, please don't flatter and kill me..."
Lin Shaoan's poems and essays were placed on the long table, and the literati rushed over to watch them.Yang Jian couldn't see Lin Shaoan arching his hands in a modest manner, so he snorted coldly and walked to the side.When he turned his gaze, he happened to see Bu Mu sitting at the table.
"Fox, fox, you are a comfortable animal, but do you know that your father has made me miserable?"
Bu Mu glared at him, turned his head and ignored him.
But Yang Jian got excited, "Could you be angry, you little thing? Can you understand what I said? Let me tell you, Lin Shaoan is still a little simple. He is now a good man, at best he will be a Jinshi in the end. When it's upside down, my father can make him unable to turn over with one hand!"
"If you're really smart, why don't you come here and make fun of me, the young master will ensure that you are well fed and clothed, and you will be served by a maid. Otherwise, Lin Shao'an will not be able to protect you by himself, so don't blame me for taking your fur to make a fox fur!" "Yang Jian said, and grabbed Bu Mu with one hand.
Bu Mu's eyes were red, and he dodged to avoid his hand, jumped up and landed on his back with four claws, kicking him down directly!The monster power in Bu Mu's body directly penetrated his inner mansion through the small meat pad, and carved a bright red energy mark in Yang Jian's body.
This mark will not kill him on the spot, but it will make Yang Jian feel severe pain all over his body every night when the yin energy is at its heaviest.
"Ouch!" Yang Jian was thrown forward by Bu Mu's unexpectedly strong kick, sweeping the dishes all over the floor.
When everyone heard the movement here, they all looked over.
Yang Jian propped himself up from the table, realized the situation at this moment, quickly pointed to Bu Mu and said loudly: "It's it! I just came over to rest my feet, but this fox suddenly went berserk and rushed over to bite me!"
"Why are there foxes here?" Someone asked aloud.
"I brought it here." Lin Shaoan lowered his head slightly and walked over from behind the crowd.Seeing him coming, Bu Mu returned to his shoulder and stared at Yang Jian angrily.
"Mumu won't hurt people for no reason. You must have provoked him before making him angry." Lin Shaoan said.
Yang Jian straightened up and smiled, "Look at what you're talking about, I won't be angry with a fox no matter what? Besides, you haven't seen the truth, so it's not good to speculate wildly. If you want to be credible If it’s too fast, why don’t you let this fox talk?”
"You, you deceive people too much!" Lin Shaoan blushed angrily.
Yang Jian shouted at this time: "You are deceiving people too much! On such an occasion, the prince is still here, how can you bring a fox here? Isn't this taking Sai Shihui as a joke? How amazing is your talent? , This move is really inappropriate, not to mention that it caused trouble. In my opinion, Lin Juren should be disqualified from the poetry competition, and then the fox should be beaten to death and thrown out!"
"No!" Lin Shaoan was in a hurry, he raised his hand and subconsciously stroked Bu Mu's fur, and when he was about to say the words to withdraw from the poetry competition, he felt light on his shoulders.Looking up, I saw a white lightning heading straight for the cornice pavilion in the east!
Bu Mu had long felt that the situation was wrong, so he looked over Lin Shaoan's shoulder in the direction of his gaze that he had been aware of just now, facing the playful eyes of Shang Qing and Prince Li Yongqing.He immediately understood that the prince must have seen the conflict between him and Yang Jian!
Bu Mu flew away, and the guards who wanted to stop it caught him off guard and let him approach the pavilion.
The servant two meters behind the prince took out a bow and arrow, but he raised his hand to stop him.Li Yongqing narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you doing?"
The attendant said: "Report to the lord, there is a fox over there."
"This king knows, what you are asking is what you did without this king's order!"
"Report to the lord, I want to shoot that fox." The attendant said with a serious face.
Li Yongqing felt that talking to people with insufficient IQ was too tiring, so he simply waved his hand, "No! You step back."
"Yes!" The attendant nodded solemnly, took a step back from two meters away from the prince, and stood three meters away from him.
At this time, Bu Mu had already rushed to Li Yongqing's knee in three steps and two steps quickly.
Afraid that he would push his nose to his face, Li Yongqing stretched out his hand to hold Bu Mu, but saw that he didn't need to move, the white-haired fox had already sat peacefully on his lap, assuming a posture of negotiating.
Li Yongqing was overjoyed, stretched out his neatly trimmed nails and hooked Goubumu's furry chin, "You're a smart guy, you ran to me to hide when you got into trouble."
Bu Mu shook his head seriously, and suddenly stood up on Li Yongqing's lap, pressed a paw aggressively on his shoulder, approached him and whispered in his ear: "You have seen it all."
Qingyue's voice was so small that Li Yongqing's eyes widened and he wondered if he had auditory hallucinations.
He turned his head in disbelief to look at the fox face who was close to Chi Chi, and for the first time showed a stupid expression that even he couldn't help but want to scold him, and asked in the same low voice: "You can talk ?”
Bu Mu nodded seriously.
Li Yongqing blinked, put Bu Mu on his shoulder, and stood up from his seat.He beckoned to a maid, "Pass my words, Yang Jian is provocative... A fox disrupted the order of the poetry competition. This reckless move will disqualify him from the poetry competition. Let him go back."
When the words spread below, everyone looked different.They didn't know that Bu Mu could speak, and the prince happened to see that scene, and they only thought that the prince didn't like Yang Jian's style, so they distanced themselves from him as if nothing.
Yang Jian was shocked, and looked into the pavilion, only to see Li Yongqing grooming a snow-white fox with his back turned to him.I don't know if it was an illusion, but Yang Jian seemed to see a strange smile on the face of the fox facing him...
******
******
A book is long, no book is short.
Time seems to turn from winter to spring in just a moment.The examination ended a few days ago, and Lin Shaoan was also full of ambition at home all day long.
Studying hard for ten years and getting a title on the gold list, this is probably the dream of all literati in the world, and for Lin Shaoan, it is even more important.Although Bu Mu knew the ending early, he also followed the ups and downs of his heart in this environment.
"Mumu, do you think I can get into the top ten?"
Lin Shaoan was reading the book, and suddenly such a sentence came out. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lin Shaoan laughed himself first.No matter how spiritual Mumu is, she is not a fox demon in those scripts, so how could she understand the meaning of what she said.
Bu Mu lay on the windowsill lazily raised his eyelids to look at him, opened his mouth and yawned.
Lin Shaoan rubbed him, and his anxious mood gradually calmed down.Anyway, he couldn't read the book now, so he simply picked up Bu Mu and walked to the front yard to bask in the sun.
The sunshine in spring is warm and slightly hot, like a handful of warm water, enveloping people in it.There is a peach tree in the small yard, which is full of peach blossoms.
Lin Shao'an was standing under the peach tree with Bu Mu in his arms. When a gust of wind blew, the pink petals fluttered down one after another.A bit of pink fell on Bu Mu's body, and Lin Shaoan felt a sense of satisfaction in love in a trance.
Bu Muzao in his arms closed his eyes, Lin Shaoan stared at his pointed nose and cute little face, and suddenly felt an urge to kiss him.
A rush of wheels came from far and near, interrupting this moment of reverie.
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, mixed with a man's festive voice: "Mr. Lin, open the door!"
Lin Shaoan's heart skipped a beat, and the feeling of excitement immediately filled his body.He walked quickly to the door and opened it. Before he could speak, he was sprayed with congratulatory fireworks all over his body.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lin, I'm here to pick you up for the palace examination." The man turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Shaoan.
"Excuse me."
Lin Shaoan thanked him and couldn't stop smiling.He raised his feet and was about to get on the car, but saw a pair of big hands stretched out horizontally, lifting Bu Mu out of his arms.
The middle-aged man carefully put Bu Mu on the ground, and said to Lin Shao'an: "Mr. Lin, this hall is no better than other places. Don't let this thing in the forest collide with the Holy Majesty."
Lin Shaoan frowned slightly, but he also understood the rules in the palace.If you take Bumu with you, you may never return.
"Just a moment please."
Lin Shaoan nodded slightly to the man, squatted down and looked at Bumu, "Mumu, I can't take you to the imperial examination, you stay at home and wait for me to come back." He was worried that Mumu would be alone at home, so he gave a few more instructions , Only then did the people who came to escort them enter the palace to participate in the palace examination.
Bu Mu stood on the ground and thought for a while, the palace is the most complicated, so nothing can go wrong at this time.He turned around and got into the bushes, and quickly followed in the direction of the palace...
hall...
Dozens of people are waiting in the hall, the youngest is 22-year-old Lin Shaoan, and the oldest is an old man in his fifties.
Two rows of academicians faced each other from left to right, and above them, a dragon chair carved with gold and jade was mighty and domineering.The person sitting on it was dressed in a yellow robe, with a high nose and deep eyes, and an imposing appearance. He was Li Yongming, the emperor of the Daqing Dynasty.
The so-called palace examination is based on the general examination, and the emperor personally selects talents.At this time, it depends not only on talent, but also on appearance.
"Lin Jinshi, what do you think the foundation of the country is?" An old man in sixties with white eyebrows and lacquered eyes asked Lin Shaoyuan a question.
Being named, Lin Shaoan was a little nervous.He thought for a while, then slowly said: "The root of a country lies in the people. There is an old saying that 'named heaven'..."
The words were neither humble nor overbearing, running through ancient and modern times, which attracted a group of great scholars to nod to Lin Shaoan again and again.They looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
The emperor above had a deep complexion, raised his hand and touched the jade wrench on his right thumb, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
……
After the palace examination was over, Lin Shaoan was stepping out of the gate of the palace examination and walking out of the palace, when suddenly a white-faced eunuch wearing a red-topped flower feather and a python robe embroidered with cranes stopped Lin Shaoan.
"Excuse me, what's the matter, father-in-law?" Seeing that he was dressed, Lin Shaoan knew that the eunuch's status was not low, so he asked respectfully.
"Long Live Lord, Lin Zhuangyuan, please come with me." The chief eunuch smiled at Lin Shaoan, and straightforwardly expressed his intention to come, and asked Lin Shaoan to follow behind him.
champion? !Lin Shaoan knew that it was his father-in-law secretly confiding in him, and he was agitated, wondering what the emperor wanted him for.He had always yearned for the strictness of the emperor, so it was hard to hide his nervousness when he was appreciated this time.
The eunuch turned his head to look at him, covered his mouth and smiled, and said in a soft voice: "Don't be nervous, Lin Zhuangyuan, the emperor is blessed to find you, and I hope Master Lin will grow up in the future and take care of us servants more."
"Father-in-law is too serious." Lin Shaoan swallowed, feeling that he would soon be unable to speak.
And the other side...
Bu Mu jumped out from the window of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, looked left and right for no one, and immediately let go of his feet and ran across the corridor.Subtle footsteps came from around the corner, and Bu Mu quickly ran behind the pillar and hid.
"Did a white thing flash past just now?" A court lady asked suspiciously.
"No, did you read it wrong?" Another court lady said.
"That's why I misunderstood. We have to go to the empress quickly, hurry up..."
The voice of the conversation quickly faded away, Bu Mu probed out to have a look, just turned around, and saw a purple robe covering the sky and blocking the sun in front of him.
Bu Mu stood stiffly on the spot, and lifted him to the front with a pair of slender and powerful palms.Li Yongqing smiled and said: "Look what I found, little fox, why are you here~"
Bu Mu raised his paw blankly, slapped the back of Li Yongqing's hand with the soft pad, and said seriously, "My name is Lin Mu."
"I think..." Bu Mu changed his tone, his big eyes fixed on Li Yongqing's, "Can you take me somewhere?"
……
On the way to the imperial study, the chief eunuch led Lin Shaoan for a while and then stopped, "I will send you here."
Lin Shaoan stood there in bewilderment, watching his father-in-law retreat quickly, feeling a little dazed.Just throw him here?He doesn't know the way to the palace.
Perhaps it was because the blankness on his face was too obvious, and a chuckle came from beside his ear: "With Zhen to guide you, are you still afraid of getting lost?"
Lin Shaoan was startled, turned around and saw Li Yongming standing behind him.Just now, he was above the main hall, far away from the emperor, but at this time Li Yongming was standing behind him, the hot air from his breath sprayed on Lin Shaoan's neck, causing Lin Shaoan's whole body to tremble slightly.When Lin Shaoan came back to his senses, he found that his whole body was shrouded in the shadow of Li Yongming.
"Emperor, Your Majesty?!"
Lin Shaoan took a big step back suddenly, he was about to kneel down and salute with his hands on his sleeves.
Li Yongming frowned slightly, and took a step forward to support his arm, "I don't like these fake things." While speaking, their bodies got closer and closer.
A strange feeling arose in Lin Shaoan's heart. He shook his head and took another step back, "Courtesy is priceless. Whether the emperor likes it or not, grassroots people have to do it."
Li Yongming looked at the drooping hair in front of him, and became a little impatient, "Raise your head up."
Lin Shaoan was startled, and raised his head obediently.
Seeing his handsome face, Li Yongming finally looked better.He said in a deep voice: "Lin Zhuangyuan, I came to you to ask you if you would like to enter the palace to accompany me. I admire your appearance and talent. If you agree, I can enter the court as an official." , to add a rich ink to my Daqing Dynasty."
Li Yongming's words were so straightforward that Lin Shaoan's head thumped and he was completely dumbfounded.
He had fantasized about being a tall horse and returning to his hometown; he had fantasized about standing in the court, admonishing the majestic emperor, getting criticism, approval, and even scolding.
But he never thought that the emperor was like this.
With such an outstanding appearance, wearing such noble clothes, saying such the most indecent and shameless words!
Lin Shaoan clasped his hands tightly together, his face pale.He looked elsewhere helplessly, and from the corner of his eye, a snow-white afterimage in the grass came straight to this side!
Bu Mu rushed to Lin Shaoan's feet with all his might, quickly sat down on his shoulder along his body, and swept his cheek with that big tail.
As if he suddenly had courage in his heart, Lin Shaoan's eyes were sour, and he immediately lowered his head.He bowed to Li Yongming and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I... the grassroots leave."
After speaking, without waiting for Li Yongming's consent, he stepped back quickly.
Li Yongming stood there watching Lin Shaoan's fleeing pace, glanced at it indifferently, turned and walked towards the imperial study.
After walking a few steps, when he turned a corner, Li Yongming saw his younger brother standing at the corner, squinting his eyes and looking at this side.
"Why are you here?" Li Yongming glanced at him and asked in a deep voice.I don't know how much he saw in that scene just now.
"It's nothing, just passing by by chance."
How long Li Yongqing has stood there is probably only he himself knows, he hooked the corners of his lips to his imperial brother, his flirtatious peach blossom eyes were half covered at this time.
He walked away, silently chewing two words, "Lin, Mu." Oh, interesting.
