His Majesty And Ministers

The lights of the flower market are like daytime.

Pedestrians come and go on the street, and there is a lot of voices.Jing Ye was dressed in dark blue uniform, waving a folding fan made of ivory bone and white satin silk, walking among the crowd with a smile on his face.

Feng Ling walked side by side with him, while Ye Mao was wearing a servant uniform, following behind with a sad face.

Eunuch Ye: "Your Majesty, my lord, there are mixed fish and dragons in this market..."

Jing Ye: "Old man, how do you sell this candied haws?"

The old man who was over fifty put up the straw stick and said with a smile: "A string of five Wen coins, today is the Qianqiu Festival, it's sold well, there are only four strings left, young master, buy them all?"

Ye Mao leaned over to Jing Ye's side: "My lord, let's not eat the outside..." Before he could finish speaking, he was stuffed with a bunch of candied haws, "Ugh!"

"You can't stop your mouth if you eat it." Jing Ye simply reached for the money bag on his waist, poured it out and saw that it was all broken silver, so he picked the smallest one and handed it to the old man, "Please find a coin." try to find?"

"Okay." The old man weighed the weight of the silver, put down the straw with a smile, pulled a big bag, counted it with his hand for a long time, and finally took out a few copper coins.

Are you kidding me, just for that?

Immediately, the old man stuffed the copper money into his belt, then lifted the pocket, and handed it to Jing Ye.

The latter took it, and immediately staggered, almost falling to the ground.

Jing Ye: "..."

Feng Ling watched from the side, and couldn't help laughing, but thinking that this was the Ninth Five-Year Master, she could only hold back desperately.So when Jing Ye turned around, he saw a handsome face with sparkling eyes.

Suddenly a tall man walked out of the crowd, stepped forward silently and carried the bag of copper coins on his shoulder.

Jing Ye glanced at Ye Mao, and the latter nodded to him, so he pulled off the remaining three strings on the straw stick, one for himself, one for Feng Ling, and the last one, he thought Think, give it to the man carrying the copper coins.

"Reward you."

The man said, "Thank you, Young Master."

Jing Ye nodded and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat."

The man paused, obediently stuffed the candied haws into his mouth.He used to have a stern face, but now he is holding a string of candied haws in his mouth. Brother Ku's aura is completely ruined, and Jing Ye wants to laugh when he sees it.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter not far away.Jing Ye said: "It's so lively, let's go and have a look?" Then he took Feng Ling's hand and walked over there.

"It should be that the lamp merchant is asking people to guess the lantern riddles." Feng Ling looked at him and said with a smile, "There are them every year, so you can just look outside, the inside is crowded, don't be suffocated by those smells."

"Am I so delicate?" Jing Ye frowned and shook his folding fan, but compromised, "Forget it, I'll listen to you."

Listen to you.

Feng Ling's heart was moved by these words, and her eyes softened unconsciously.

The four of them had just walked to the edge of the crowd when they suddenly heard screams in front of them, the sound of shelves collapsing, and the sound of horseshoes kicking violently.

Jing Ye frowned: "This is..."

The sound quickly changed from far to near, and the crowd immediately crowded to both sides of the street. He was hit by the human wall in front of him, staggered backwards, and was forced to let go of Feng Ling's hand.

At the feet of the emperor, who dares to violate the law and ride a horse in the busy city!He raised his head, and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sitting immediately, with an arrogant and vicious expression, even worse than the young emperor back then.

Jing Ye gritted his teeth, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, and a man's voice sounded behind him: "My lord, quickly follow your subordinates..." But suddenly he let out a muffled groan, and his strength relaxed.

"Why..." Jing Ye wanted to turn around, but was cut on the back of the neck by a knife in vain, and his vision went dark.

The person who came took advantage of the situation and grabbed his shoulders, took advantage of the chaos and carried him out of the crowd, and dodged into an alley by the side of the street.

There were already people waiting against the wall inside, and when they saw him flashing in, they stood up straight.

"It's done?"

"It's done."

Yonghua Palace.

"Seven black-clothed guards." Gu Hong stood in the hall, "Together with you, the head of the guard, they were snatched away right under their noses."

"Yuan Mo, I think highly of you."

The man lowered his head and knelt on one knee: "This subordinate has neglected his duty."

"Dereliction of duty?" Gu Hong sneered, "...Go out, and when he comes back, you can go to the prison department to receive the punishment. Fifty lashes, one lash is not a lot."

Yuan Mo bent down and touched his forehead to the cold ground: "This subordinate will leave." Then he stood up and retreated silently.

"You're angry." Lin Xiaosheng's voice came from behind the screen, "Mr. Gu has never been so angry."

Gu Hong turned around, and Lin Xiaosheng walked out slowly from behind the screen, his figure was unrestrained, but his brows and eyes were as warm as spring water.

"He's not as tall as you."

"It's okay." Lin Xiaosheng nodded the makeup on his face, "As long as he is sitting, he won't show much. Those courtiers are afraid and dare not look carefully. But who did it? The Zhao family?"

"The jumping beam clown doesn't have the courage." Gu Hong said softly, "The news just sent by the pavilion is that two people from Pingyue City sneaked into the capital two days ago."

Lin Xiaosheng snapped his fingers: "Pingyue City?... No wonder."

Gu Hong looked at him: "Ye Mao is just outside the hall, tell him to be careful, don't give away."

"kindness."

Gu Hong turned around and went outside the hall.The little boy who was serving him hurriedly followed, Lin Xiaosheng said with a smile: "Serve carefully, your master is angry."

The little boy shrank his neck and nodded repeatedly.

There is a group of jade mountains in the north of the capital.Because the mountains are deep and the land is dangerous, and wild animals often come and go, there are no people in the area for tens of miles.

In the mountains.

The treetops swayed slightly, and a squirrel jumped down from the branch nimbly, digging the soil, and suddenly seemed to smell something, raised its head and fled away quickly.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, a dying tiger fell to the ground panting, its fur claws struggled twice, and then gradually closed its eyes.

The man sitting idle watching at the entrance of the cave smiled, took out a gorgeous red gold earring from his arms, and put it on his left ear.

"The fur of this big worm is very beautiful, why not peel it off and make a jacket."

"I want to peel you off." The man who was lighting a fire in the cave glanced at it, disgusted, "Dirty."

"As long as you are clean, you are the one who killed the big bug."

"Mmmmmmm..." Jing Ye, who was sitting on the innermost side with his mouth sealed and his hands and feet bound, said, "...Mmm."

The man turned around and saw tears glistening in his eyes, he couldn't help but sneered: "This cowardly emperor is actually crying."

Jing Ye: "..."

The man at the entrance of the cave walked in with a smile, stood in front of Jing Ye, bent over to look at him, and said, "Words are worthless, she is really a beauty."

Jing Ye was originally born with a gentle and handsome appearance, and he also carried a bit of dignity and self-restraint acquired from being pampered since he was a child. Therefore, compared with other people who win by their looks, they are even more charming.

"For this sake." The man stretched out his hand to untie the cloth tied around his mouth, "Come on, let you talk."

"Bah bah, I..." Jing Ye took a step back, exhaled, and then looked at the two with sincere eyes, "...so hungry, do you care about food?"

man:"……"

"There are no ingredients." The man sitting by the fire turned his head, "How to cook."

Jing Ye swallowed, and cast his eyes on the dead tiger at the entrance of the cave, wanting to see through it.

The other two: "..."

Feng Ling stood quietly at the gate of the palace, for a long time, the little eunuch came out quickly and said: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, Lord Feng, please go back."

"Since that's the case..." Feng Ling lowered her eyes, then suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is Your Majesty still alright?"

The little eunuch smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been in good spirits for the past few days. Needless to say, my lord met His Majesty last night."

"Yes." Feng Ling pondered for a while, then smiled, "It's because I'm overthinking."

The little eunuch smiled: "Then... my lord, go slowly?"

"En." Feng Ling nodded and turned around.

The three of them walked to the foot of Qunyu Mountain.

With a whistling sound, Jin Jue summoned three robust horses from both sides of the road. Yu Heng got on the horses first, and Jin Jue took the whip from his waist, tapped one of them, and said to Jing Ye with a smile: "This is the horse. Obsidian. Can you ride a horse?"

Jing Ye lifted the gauze cap and looked at the black horse parked in front of him.The horse's fur is black and shiny, its eyes are black with a little brown, and its long face is facing Jing Ye, very docile.

He couldn't help but move in his heart.Who didn't love to be brave when they were young. In the martial arts novels they read when they were young, those knights who roamed the rivers and lakes and drank blood often rode such a good horse to win thousands of miles, which was enviable.

Jing Ye couldn't help but put his hand on the side of Yao Hei's face, the horse was so human, he lowered his head and gently rubbed his palm.

The two people on the side were all surprised, if Yao Hei hadn't been too difficult to tame, he wouldn't have no owner so far.

Jing Ye was deeply moved by Comrade Hei Yao's action, and excitedly touched his bosom for a long time, finally took out two fruits, and stuffed them into Hei Yao's mouth with a smile.

...Wait, fruit?

It's what he ate before...

Mr. Black Horse had already started to chew happily, and in the next second, the horse's mouth opened wide, and he sneezed earth-shatteringly!

Jing Ye who was sprayed with saliva all over the face: "..."

Before the three of them rode to the city gate, it was getting late, Yu Heng stopped in front, turned around and said: "It's getting late, find a place to rest?"

Jin Jue reined in the horse and said with a smile, "Let's go to the inn where we came, the boss is honest."

"There should be no rain tonight." Yu raised his head and looked, "It's better to stay in the wild."

Jin Jue frowned: "Are you serious? Forgot when we came..."

This sentence is obviously someone's deathbed, the man turned his horse's head and said, "Go to the inn."

Four days later, Tianyu, Zhenbei General's Mansion.

That night.

There was singing and laughter in the lobby.Xu Minggao sat in the main seat, with his wife Yang on his right, and Mrs. Dong Ling on his left.

Gu Yun and Li Tingqiu were sitting with a few noble children from Tianyu, chatting and laughing.As soon as Gu Yun raised his head, he saw the daughter of the Xu family sitting next to Mrs. Yang looking at him, so he smiled back at her, and the face of Miss Xu's family immediately turned red.

Yang Shi had noticed it a long time ago, so she leaned into her daughter's ear and said, "You like it?"

Miss Xu blushed for a while, then nodded lightly: "Yes."

Gu Yun and the young masters exchanged cups for a while, and tugged at Li Tingqiu's sleeves.

The latter turned his head slightly: "What?"

"It's time to go back." Gu Yun smiled and toasted, while whispering, "If you don't leave, a pool of spring water will be broken."

Li Tingqiu raised his eyebrows: "That Miss Xu family?"

"You saw it too?" Gu Yun rubbed his nose.

"The so-called looking beyond the autumn water." Li Tingqiu raised his glass and sipped lightly, "No one will not see it."

Gu Yun got up: "Then let's go quickly..."

"Master Gu."

The two raised their eyes, and saw a well-behaved servant girl walking over, and said with a straight face: "My wife is here to invite you."

Gu Yun: "..."

Li Tingqiu drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine cup and stood up, "Let's go first."

Gu Yun nodded helplessly.

Walking in front of Mrs. Yang, Miss Xu's family shyly leaned against her mother, peeking at him from time to time, the youngest daughter was full of emotion.

Gu Yun cupped his hands and said, "Ma'am, I'm being polite."

"Mr. Gu." Yang looked at the third young master of the Gu family with a smile, and was very satisfied, "Mr., the first time I came back to my general's mansion, the flowers and trees in the garden happened to be refurbished. This banquet is noisy, why not go to the garden for a walk?" relax?"

When Yang said something, Gu Yun couldn't refute it, so he nodded with a smile.

Yang couldn't help smiling even more: "Then let the little girl bring the servants and lead the young master to go for a swim." The daughter beside her became more and more shy, but her eyes lit up.

Feeling helpless, Gu Jun had no choice but to bow his hand again: "Thank you."

The garden of the General's Mansion is also considered well-trimmed, but it is still much inferior to the garden of the Gu's Mansion. After all, the Gu's family has a second young master who is famous for his ingenuity.

Thinking of the cheap second brother at home... Gu Yun couldn't help but grit his teeth, if he couldn't evade, why would he stand in the cold wind facing this Miss Xu who has a pool of spring water in his heart!Even drinking with Li Tingqiu would be better than this!

Miss Xu's family stood with her sweetheart, the blush on her face never faded.After thinking about it for a long time, he said softly: "I heard that the young master is good at playing the flute, but... can I play it with Yuying?"

Gu Yun lightly smiled and said, "I went out in a hurry and didn't bring a bamboo flute with me, miss forgive me."

"Yu, Yuying... There is a jade flute, which has been kept in a box, and no one has ever used it." Xu Yuying raised her head with an adoring expression. "Can the young master settle down?"

Gu Yun could only smile and said: "Miss is so kind, I dare not refuse."

Xu Yuying's heart skipped a beat, thinking that the jade flute was very precious, she blessed her body and said: "My lord, wait a moment, wait for Yuying to fetch it."

Gu Yun nodded, and she timidly turned around and left with the maid.

Seeing her walking away, Gu Jun twitched the corners of his mouth, he had nothing to do, and simply looked down at the rose garden beside him.

In the light moonlight, there is a faint fragrance of roses floating.

After an unknown amount of time, a distant Guqin sound seemed to come from afar.
