play tricks around the bed

Li Jue asked Shen Zhu: "Did my third brother do my elder brother's death?"

"Then who knows?" Shen Zhu shrugged indifferently, stepped on the stool with one foot, and dangled without touching the ground, "I knew he wanted to harm you, so I simply borrowed a knife."

Li Jue said seriously: "He didn't do it, of course I can't report on him, that would be wronged."

"No, my good brother."

Shen Zhu looked at Li Jue in disbelief, and jumped off the chair, "When he hurt you, I didn't see him caring about whether you were wronged or not."

Li Jue's expression wavered a little, but then he said firmly, "That's him, I can't be like him."

Shen Zhu was a little speechless.

"And..." Li Jue said again, "Father is already very busy at court, so family affairs should not bother him anymore.

I failed to deal with it well and alarmed my father. It was indeed my problem and deserved to be punished. "

Shen Zhu didn't know what to refute anymore, he was tongue-tied for a long time, and asked: "Then he hurt you, don't you hate him?"

Li Jue looked a little disappointed, but he still tried his best to smile: "As an elder brother, he should have taken more care of him than his younger siblings.

Otherwise, even if I inherit the position of the son of the world, I am not worthy. "

"..." Shen Zhu was so angry that Li Jue couldn't speak.

Li Jue has a traditional and old-fashioned temperament.

He strictly bears the responsibilities of being the eldest son, while accommodating his younger siblings, he also helps the wise king manage the household chores.

For Li Jue, right and wrong are as clear and unshakable as his etiquette.

It is absolutely impossible for him to wrong someone else, even if that person has harmed him, even if he did it for self-protection.

Shen Zhu knew that Li Jue abided by etiquette, but he didn't expect Li Jue to abide by it.

Shen Zhu, who was active since he was a child, was so angry to death by Li Jue's rigidity, he wanted to scold Li Jue directly.

But just when Shen Zhu was about to speak, Li Jue said again: "But thank you today, for my sake, all your efforts to pretend to be good in front of my father a few years ago were in vain."

Shen Zhu's words were stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't speak them out.

Li Jue's etiquette is like this, treating everyone equally.

It's the same for King Xian, younger brother, and Shen Zhu.

He was obviously still angry, but he was able to thank him.

In fact, Shen Zhu cherishes Li Jue's purity far more than Li Jue himself.

He came all the way from the northwest to the capital, and he has seen all kinds of exclusion and scheming.

Only Li Jue was the only one who did not ask for anything after Shen Zhu had been in trouble all the way, and treated him sincerely.

Compared with the shrewdness that came out of the dye vat, Shen Zhu prefers Li Jue's clear and honest look.

Even Shen Zhu's pretending to be good had another purpose in front of Li Jue.

He was not like what Li Jue thought, he just wanted to avoid causing trouble for the virtuous king.

He really hoped that Li Jue would like him more while treating him equally.

Shen Zhu rubbed against Li Jue in a bit of depression.

The night was already deep, and Shen Zhu drank a lot of wine, no matter how good he was, he couldn't help feeling sleepy.

Shen Zhu muttered in a voice that Li Jue couldn't hear clearly: "A Jue, don't be angry, please like me a little more."

Li Jue didn't hear what Shen Zhu muttered before going to bed, he looked at Shen Zhu who was sleeping beside him, his thick eyelashes fluttered like two butterflies.

Li Jue withdrew his gaze, and turned down two pages of the book, only to find that the words on the book had changed into words he didn't understand, and he couldn't read a single word.

Li Jue closed his eyes.

Ask yourself, does he really care if Shen Zhu is really well-behaved?Did he really realize that Shen Zhu's obedience is all just pretending?

Li Jue closed his eyes, and recalled scenes after scenes of the high-spirited appearance when he saw Shen Zhu for the first time, or the reckless appearance of Shen Zhu holding the wine jar just now.

In fact, he should have noticed Shen Zhu's pretending to be obedient long ago.

But he didn't want to notice.

He was immersed in Shen Zhu's coquetry towards him.

He was not angry because Shen Zhu was not really well-behaved, but just angry that Shen Zhu lied to him.

Shen Zhu said that in order to make himself like him more, he had to admit that he was happy.

The evening wind blew past the window lattice, and quietly opened a gap in the window, and the window shaft made two "squeaks".

At this time, it was almost the New Year's Eve, and the sweet-scented osmanthus trees outside the window began to sprout, with lush green.

Although the color of the buds is not obvious at night, the bitter smell of the buds has already drifted into the study with the fragrance of the tree buds in the spring breeze.

Li Jue looked out of the window, and his heart was suddenly moved.

I don't think it will be long before there will be birds nesting on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

Shen Zhu was moved by the noise from the window, but he didn't wake up, but buried his whole face in his arms, leaving only the back of his head for Li Jue.

Li Jue passed over Shen Zhu to close the window and accidentally brushed Shen Zhu's hair.

Shen Zhu's hair is not very straight, even if it is tied into a braid, there are still a few hairs sticking up in disobedience.

The long ponytail was turned into a fluffy strand by the unstraight hair, like a fox's tail.

It looks soft and easy to touch.

When Li Jue came back to his senses, his hand had already landed on Shen Zhu's hair.

Li Jue rubbed Shen Zhu's hair gently, and somehow thought of a word, little vixen.

Li Jue lowered his eyes and smiled.

Shen Zhu is really a little vixen.

The real little vixen is not how clever the deception is.

But knowing that he was cheated, he still made himself willing.

After the New Year's Eve, spring comes, and hunting begins as usual, which is called "spring search" by the royal family.

The spring search should be led by the emperor himself, and all the children of the clan and all civil and military officials should participate.

The spring search is mainly to thank God for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people that was bestowed by God in the previous year, and by the way, to pray for good weather in the next year.

In spring hunting, the more prey you hit, the more abundant grains you will have in the new year.

And the person who hunts the most in the hunting ground every year will also become the person who will bring prosperity to Daqi in the new year.

As usual, the emperor will reward you heavily.

As the first and most important celebration of the year, the venue of the spring search was full of people as far as the eye could see, and the grand scale was extremely lively.

The princes and generals all put on their armor and waited in line, waiting in full battle, just waiting for the door of the hunting ground to open, rushing in.

Although civil servants are not allowed to enter, everyone is dressed in splendid clothes.

They will search for poems and columns outside the venue, praise the heroic posture of the hunters, and sing the praises of He Qinghaiyan.

After the spring search, the poems inscribed will be ranked and judged to see which one is the best.

The rest of Li Jue's juniors waited outside the hunting ground with the civil servants before they were eligible for the spring search.

The stinky boys headed by Zhou Duan have already gambled outside the arena, and the bet is who will win the championship this time.

The emperor knew about this kind of gambling game, but in order to make everyone have fun, the emperor had a kind temper, so he kept his attitude of turning a blind eye, and even ordered Eunuch Qing to buy a share for himself.

The ostentation of the whole spring search was outrageous, and the drums and music blared together.

But Li Jue wasn't in the mood to join their excitement, this time it wasn't because Li Jue was calm.

It was Li Jue who discovered that Shen Zhu was gone.
