His Majesty And Ministers

Ye Mao knew how to wink, so he hurriedly ordered the palace maid to fetch the jade grate, and adjusted Jing Ye's clothes and hair.

Jing Ye secretly sighed that the evening festival would not be guaranteed, and after he tidied things up for himself, he turned cold and said, "Concubine Xiang is disrespectful before driving, her words and deeds are indecent, she is confined to Fengyang Palace, and she is not allowed to go out unless ordered."

The two maidservants of Wuhuan were shocked, they knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it was an unintentional mistake, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

"Concubine Xiang" was unmoved, she sat up and leaned against the bed rail, the redness on her face faded, and a pair of eyes as bright as autumn water stared straight at Jing Ye.

Jing Ye said: "King Wuhuan is considerate, but this speculation is too much, such behavior is really suspected of fooling me!"

The young man pursed his lips and said, "Adu, my minister, is not teasing His Majesty, but Adu thought that His Majesty would like Gesa more than the princess."

Jing Ye looked at him with aggrieved eyes, and unexpectedly felt a little guilty, and said "Show me back to the palace", turned around and left the palace.

Seeing that the emperor did not turn his head and left, the servant girl couldn't help but look worried, but saw the little prince coming to the bed with bare feet, and said, "I have something to ask you." There was no softness and grievance just now.

The next day when the imperial decree came down, Li Tingqiu offended the holy driver and broke into Fengyang Palace at night. His meritorious deeds could not be overshadowed.The ministers are very different.

Last night there was a grand celebration banquet, with countless rewards, why did Longyan get furious overnight and call him back to his original job?

The courtiers are trembling, don't guess what His Majesty is thinking.

In the dormitory, Lu Baizang pressed on Jing Ye angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "I've only been away from His Majesty for a day, and I have this old love and new love? Who else, eh? That little kid in Pingyue City, or..."

Jing Ye struggled and said: "Don't think about it, I have nothing with them!"

"No?" Lu Zhuangzhu took off the emperor's lapel, and took a bite at an indescribable place, "Your Majesty, the minister is confused. As soon as the little prince Wuhuan entered the palace, the minister can see it..."

Jing Ye's body trembled, and he grabbed his chin: "If you know it, don't tell me!"

Lu Baizang licked the corner of his lips and said, "What do you tell Your Majesty? That little thing has a good appearance and is a newcomer. How could I let His Majesty know that it is cheaper for the newcomer?"

Jing Ye said, "You still don't believe me."

Lu Baizang whispered, "What do you believe in?"

Jing Ye said: "It will be great if I have you."

Lu Baizang was still angry at first, but Jing Ye couldn't help laughing as he saw Jing Ye's serious expression, and stroked the man's temples with his fingers.

Jing Ye embraced him, paused for a moment, leaned over with a slightly red face, and kissed the man's forehead.

Rarely quiet.

"..."

"Take your hands away from me."

"No, Your Majesty."

In the imperial study room, Gu Hong sat on one side, sorting out the documents and memorials for Jing Ye, while Lin Xiaosheng handed over the treasury receipts and withdrawals from March to May to Jing Ye for inspection.

Ye Mao came in with a new tea, observed the three of them carefully, and said to Jing Ye: "Your Majesty, the concubine Xiang sent a maid to come here. I am ashamed that you were disrespectful last night. I have prepared a new song for the pipa. Your Majesty is free to move to Fengyang." temple……"

Jing Ye said without raising his head, "No."

Ye Mao said: "Yes." Just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by Gu Hong: "Wait a minute." Turning his head to Jing Ye, he said, "Your Majesty, King Wuhuan sent the princess to the capital for the sake of friendship between the two clans. The heart cannot be neglected.”

Jing Ye frowned and raised his head to look at him, and Lin Xiaosheng also stopped flipping through the account books.

Gu Hong called out: "Your Majesty."

Jing Ye lowered his head and said, "I know."

Ye Mao took his situation into consideration, and then he bent down and went out to answer.

Corrected the memorial until dusk, and returned to the bedroom for dinner.In the evening, Jing Ye was really tired. He lay on the head of the bed and said a few words to Lin Xiaosheng, then fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Lu Baizang and Gu Hong were sitting outside, the former glanced at the latter, and said with a sneer, "I'm not as good as you if you retreat to advance."

Gu Hong lowered his eyes and said: "You and I both know that His Majesty cannot be alone. Since there will be someone sooner or later, why not choose an ally, which is cheaper?"

Lu Baizang snorted, he was different from Gu Hong.Gu Hong has a personal relationship with Jing Ye and is loyal to the royal family, so in order to balance loyalty and lover, he has made every step of the way and made a thorough plan.

And even though he was in charge of Lu Zhuang, he was much more at ease after all.

Tsk, if only his sweetheart was a plain-headed commoner, so that he could catch people back with a single hand, hug them during the day, and hold them at night, which would be more robbing than getting on the dragon bed now.

The more you think about it, the more you take it seriously. Master Lu couldn't help feeling sad when he thought about it, and felt that it was really hard work.

Since Jing Ye had made Ye Mao agree, he naturally had to go.When the court came down this day, he ordered the imperial chariot to go to the palace road of Fengyang Palace.

After getting off the chariot and sedan chair, they walked to the palace gate, but the palace servants who didn't send a message went further inside to the palace gate, when two Wuhuan maidservants came out, and when they saw the emperor, they all knelt down and saluted.

Jing Ye followed Ye Mao into the hall.

Before he walked past the screen, he had already heard the sound of a pipa, but it was different from the melodious voices of the singers in the palace, there was the sound of killing.

Jing Ye walked to the screen, Ye Mao tactfully did not shout.

I saw the young man sitting on the ground on the snow-white fine wool blanket, with one leg bent, leaning against the table, holding a pipa in his arms, and stroking the plectrum casually, and the Jiangnan ditty in the hands of the seventeen or eighteen daughters was scratched out by him. Thousands of troops are coming.

Jing Ye stood and listened for a while, then said, "Gesa?" He remembered what he called himself.

Gesa stopped the string with his hand, turned his head, and smiled very touchingly: "Your Majesty!"

Jing Ye sat down at the table and said, "You play the pipa very well, and you also learned it from..." Jing Ye recalled the conversation that night, "Heh... the elders in the clan learned it?"

Gesa shook his head and stood up.

"My pipa was taught by Adu when I was young."

"King Wuhuan?" Jing Ye saw him rubbing the body of the piano with his fingertips, "You brothers are very close."

Gesa blinked and smiled again.This time the smile was not quite the same as before, Jing Ye thought, maybe he finally looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Jing Ye said: "Since this is better, why send you thousands of miles away?"

Gesa plucked the strings with his fingers, and said: "Your Majesty, our Wuhuan warriors will go to the grasslands to live alone when they reach the age of 15, and return to the clan after two years. Although I can't become a warrior when I come to the capital, I can As long as you can help A'Du, it's the same wherever you go."

He said it lightly, but the sacrifice he made was not insignificant.To stay away from the hometown where I lived since childhood and come to the capital thousands of miles away, not to mention the huge differences in clothing, food, housing, transportation, customs and etiquette, just put down the noble prince status and become a man's concubine, and even flatter him, even if this person is the emperor It was humiliating.

What prompted him to accept all this calmly was only a feeling of admiration for his elder brother.

Sure enough, he was still a child.

His Majesty the Emperor made up his mind, and suddenly felt a little bit of pity, thinking that if Jing Xiaoyun and Jing Le would love each other like this in the future, he would be relieved.

Thinking about this, he said, "Your brother sent you to the capital because he intended to form an alliance. As long as Wuhuan and the Han people have good relations, I will not treat you badly."

He spoke clearly.If the Wuhuan people followed in the footsteps of Xirong, everything would be different.

Gesa smiled, obviously he was already a tall and slender boy, but there were two dimples when he smiled, not to mention a little more innocent and childish.

"Will His Majesty treat Gesa well?"

This almost coquettish question made Jing Ye completely equate the boy in front of him with Jing Xiaoyun, and stretched out his hand casually. He wanted to rub the boy's loose long hair, but found that he couldn't reach it, so he had to pat him. shoulder, said: "King Wuhuan blocked the Xirong people for me, and if I take care of his younger brother on his behalf, it is not considered to be taking advantage of him."

The emperor left when it was time for lunch, seeing off the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the maids brought lunch, Gesa sat at the table and meditated, saw the maid Hong Su come up to serve him dishes, and said: "How dare you bother my sister. "

Hong Su smiled slightly and said: "Young master sent servants to serve the prince, and servants dare not neglect."

She was originally one of Gu Hong's subordinates, and she had been serving in Jing Ye's bedroom before, but was sent to Fengyang Palace by Gu Hong two days ago, so one can imagine why she came here.

Gesa took a sip of the lotus leaf soup, and frowned. The food here is too delicate, and in his mouth, it is not as good as Adu's roasted beef and goat's milk.

Gesa said: "Your Majesty is not quite the same as the rumors about the Emperor of China that I heard on the road."

Hong Su covered her lips with a smile: "That's all happened in the past. Since His Majesty woke up from a serious illness a year ago, his temperament has changed drastically. At first, the servants couldn't believe it, but later it seemed that they really changed. I can't believe it."

Gesa asked: "What was it like before the change, and what is it like after the change?"

"Before..." Hong Su frowned, and her face was not very good-looking when she recalled it, "It was just like what I heard on Prince's Road before, so I don't need to mention it."

Gesa thought for a while and said, "In the future, it will be like this now. It looks like you have a good temper, but in fact, you are also very good-tempered?"

Hong Su chuckled: "What the prince said is true."

Gesa lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of lotus leaf soup, which has never been smelled like this in the territory of the Wuhuan people.

He remembered that when he was a child, he went hunting with A'Du and Balin (translated uncle) on the grassland. He disobeyed the instruction and bumped into a pack of wolves, and was bitten by a wild wolf that was about to grow up. Fortunately, A'Du arrived in time.

When he was unconscious, he heard A'Du sigh: "You, in the future, you must find someone with a good personality who can take care of you as Ania (translated partner), so that A'Du can rest assured."
