play tricks around the bed

The east wind puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain. ——Xin Qiji

(...)

It was snowing outside again, and it was falling heavily. Goose feathers fell on the city wall, covering the roof tiles in layers. The glazed world wrapped in silver.

It's not a bad thing to have snow during the New Year's Eve, and everyone in the palace believes that the auspicious snow heralds a good year.

But Shen Zhu and Li Jue were hiding in a room that no one else knew about.Quietness and noise seem to be mixed together, with only one door panel separating the outside sounds.Shen Zhu felt that his consciousness might be cut off, he seemed to have touched the moonlight as warm and cool as lake water, the light and soft first snow, tenderness and intimacy permeated every corner of him.

Both are fully clothed and at first glance appear to be just snuggling.But when he looked closely, he saw that there were two legs hanging limply on Li Jue's waist, and he was still wearing small black leather boots, which were shaking and shaking.

Shen Zhu felt like a bamboo without joints, dripping wet with water, being opened by Li Jue from root to tip, except for the toughness of bamboo, the rest was gone.

At this time, there was a sudden "swoosh" outside, and the sound of explosions spread in the air.With a sound, the whole house was illuminated.

In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

Fireworks are set off outside.

Fireworks bloom like smoke and rain on the snow scene and moonlight, making the outside look like daytime.

And the two of them secretly hid in the darkness, avoiding all the turmoil and chaos, and quietly found the peace of the two of them.

Shen Zhu looked at Li Jue's face through the fireworks, fine shadows fell scatteredly on Li Jue's face.

Those lake-like eyes, the sparkling light, and the tip of the nose covered with beads of sweat, were all looked into by Shen Zhu meticulously.

Amidst the strong emotions, Shen Zhu felt a little tenderness out of thin air, and lowered his head to hold Li Jue's lips.

Outside the door, there were eunuchs and maids in the palace chattering back and forth.Shen Zhu heard the content from the scattered discussions, it should be Li Jue's turn soon, they seemed to be looking for Li Jue.

Shen Zhu looked down at Li Jue and said, "I'm looking for you."

Shen Zhu didn't know that there was still lust in his voice, his voice became thin and soft uncontrollably, and the ending could not be held back.

Li Jue felt that Shen Zhu was going to die, so he hooked himself and refused to let him go.

There were many people outside, offering sacrifices, listening to operas, and setting off fireworks, but the two of them were behind everyone's backs in the palace.

It is a big deal for the prince to be lost during the New Year’s Eve. Many people panicked and did not dare to report it to the higher authorities. It seems that more people have been added to quickly find it in private: "Where is the prince, His Royal Highness Huai is coming soon. Someone knows that Huai Wang Where has your Highness gone?"

There was another voice outside the door, and the head waiter asked sharply, "Has anyone looked for the resting place?"

The people below seemed to be hesitating, and finally they all replied "no" in twos and threes.

The head nurse was so angry that she couldn't stop talking, and urged: "Then go find it!"

"They're coming!" Shen Zhu patted Li Jue's back, making Li Jue let go.

Shen Zhu practiced martial arts, and his hearing was excellent. He heard the footsteps approaching the door step by step. It seemed that there were still many people, and his nervous heart was about to jump out. He even imagined what it would be like to be discovered.Until there was a knock on the door behind him, and a leading eunuch asked outside the door: "My lord, the sacrifice is about to begin."

Shen Zhu covered his mouth, afraid that his voice would come out.Li Jue held Shen Zhu's head and let him lie on his shoulders, and said in a cold voice to the outside: "Understood, I will go when I change my clothes."

The steps of the little eunuch gradually walked away, Shen Zhu heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Jue put Shen Zhu on the wheelchair, but Shen Zhu stopped him when he was about to turn on the lamp.Li Jue raised his hand and touched Shen Zhu's face, it was wet and wept again.

Li Jue kissed Shen Zhu's tears, and asked: "Why are you crying, this time you are also happy?"

"No." After the affair, the corners of Shen Zhu's eyes were still red, delicate and gorgeous.Shui Boying glanced lazily at Li Jue, and said, "This time it's cool."

"..."

Li Jue didn't answer, and helped Shen Zhu wash his body without saying a word.

He's not that thick-skinned, and he's still a little bit courageous when his lust gets over his head, and every time Li Jue is done, he's so ashamed in private.

He asked himself several times, is reading so many sage books just for him to talk about Xia Sanlu?He himself didn't know how those words appeared in his mind.Several times Li Jue wanted to endure it, but every time he saw Shen Zhu, those messy thoughts came out again uncontrollably.

"Okay." Shen Zhu pushed away Li Jue's hand helping him put on his trousers, "You go first, I'll be waiting there later."

The two had just finished making out, Li Jue was still reluctant to part with Shen Zhu, his hands were still attached to the skin on Shen Zhu's legs.Li Jue found a lame excuse and said, "I'll send you back first."

"What to give, I'm afraid that others won't know you and I do this kind of thing during the New Year's Eve?" Shen Zhu pushed Li Jue to let him go first, "You go out first, I will go out later, and I will stagger with you. "

What Shen Zhu said was reasonable, but Li Jue couldn't help it.Holding Shen Zhu's face, exchanging a deep kiss, then left.

After Li Jue left, Shen Zhu finally squeezed his limp legs.For the first time, he was glad that he was sitting in a wheelchair, so that Li Jue would not find out that he was made unable to stand up.

Shen Zhu rested for a long time before returning to the banquet hall. At this time, the play in the banquet hall had changed from "Apology to the Thorn" to "The Female Consort".

After Shen Zhu sat down, he felt Li Jue's eyes were cast from the opposite side, his eyes were sticky and lingering, as if he wanted to make up for what he didn't warm up just now with his eyes.

Not to be outdone, Shen Zhu even forgot who it was that was trembling with limp legs just now, and blinked at Li Jue with a rather provocative look.

This is the case every year, and only a few things will not change. The emperor gradually became sleepy while sitting on the dragon chair as he got older.Just when Shen Zhu thought that there would be no major twists and turns in this year's festival except for the absurd thing he did with Li Jue, a big news came: "The battlefield in the northwest has been won."

Zhou Duan pretended to be tricked into asking the king to enter the urn, and took advantage of the snowy night to lead a team of light cavalry to attack, and drove straight in, temporarily suppressing Xirong and Beidi.

This is undoubtedly good news.

But with the good news came the First Prince.

The eldest prince entered the palace with a congratulatory gift and knelt down to the emperor and said: My son congratulates you on the great victory in the Northwest, wishes your father and emperor a long life without bounds, and wishes Daqi forever and ever. "

Shen Zhu looked at the eldest prince who came to congratulate him during the New Year's Eve, his good mood vanished in an instant.

The eldest prince was grounded for a long time, and the emperor never intended to let him out.Finally, when it was New Year's Eve, the eldest prince had the opportunity to intercede with the saint.

Taking advantage of the emperor's good mood, the eldest prince continued: "My son knows that his crime is unforgivable, but today is the festival of reunion. Yuqing misses his father very much, and Yu Li, his son should pay homage to his father. If you disobey, please forgive him." The emperor bestowed the crime."

The eldest prince said his words with deep affection, and took advantage of the situation to show that he was deeply aware of his mistakes, and was willing to restrain his ambitions to help his younger brother, and not to seize the heir apparent.

Those who come to the New Year's Day are either the royal family or the princes and concubines. There is no official in the court, and even Shen Zhu can only come in relying on his status as a princess.There was no one like you who made up his mind on the field, so there were small discussions on the field for a while, but they didn't discuss the reason.

Shen Zhu heard it in his heart but laughed sullenly, all fucking fart.

If the First Prince had been so honest earlier, Li Jue would not have made him into what he is now.

Obviously Li Jue thought so too.

As Li Jue was assisting the little prince, the emperor naturally turned his head to ask what Li Jue meant.

Li Jue put down the wine glass in his hand, raised a flawless smile and said, "I think the First Prince has truly repented, so naturally he should be given a chance to make amends."

"But the eldest prince doesn't have to be so humble. As the eldest son, how can you help me? Since ancient times, the elders should not be established, so you can't violate the patriarchal law." Li Jue glanced at the official of the Ministry of Rites and asked, "Department of Rites, this king Are you right?"

A drop of sweat fell on the official's forehead, God knows how he should answer?The fall of the eldest prince was caused by King Huai alone, why is he helping the eldest prince to speak now?So should he say right now or not?

Why did King Huai arrest him and cause harm to him alone?

The official decided to resign and return to his hometown after the New Year's Eve tonight. The palace is too scary.

However, Li Jue's words were still very pleasing to the emperor's ears.

Li Jue could tell the difference between insiders and outsiders. No matter what the emperor favored him for, he was always his nephew, and the eldest prince was the emperor's own son.

After the first few days of anger, the emperor still felt sorry for his son.Now that the eldest prince is moving with emotion and reason, coupled with the news of the New Year's Eve, the emperor is in a good mood, and it is reasonable to want to enlarge the prince to come out.

But he needs a step down.

It just so happened that Li Jue gave the emperor this step.

Shen Zhu frowned, but the step Li Jue gave was too much.Enlarging the prince to come out is enough, there is no need to propose that the eldest prince take power.

The First Prince was also surprised by Li Jue's answer. He prepared a bunch of words to refute Li Jue, but none of them were useful. After thinking for a long time, he found that he still had to bow his head to thank Li Jue.

The eldest prince who came to prepare for a verbal fight blushed.

Shen Zhu suddenly felt that there was no energy left, he didn't like talking with these people who had other plans.The quarrel between him and Li Jue was for fun, and the quarrel with these people was anger.

Li Jue also found that Shen Zhu who was facing him lacked interest, he smiled and turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I just suffered some cold outside and feel a little unwell, so I want to take my leave first."

The palace banquet had indeed come to an end, and Li Jue's answer to the eldest prince's matter also satisfied the emperor.The emperor didn't want to keep him any longer, and nodded in agreement.

Back at the palace, Li Jue helped Shen Zhu wash up and go to bed.It is always late to watch the New Year's Eve, and the sky is already turning white when I lie down.Shen Zhu lay on the bed and didn't speak. He frowned and closed his eyes all the way without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Shen Zhu seldom talks like this, Li Jue stroked his hair and asked: "What's wrong?"

Shen Zhu opened his eyes, laughed and laughed and said: "You make me too tired."

Li Jue looked at Shen Zhu for a while, then raised his hand to pinch the back of Shen Zhu's head, hugged Shen Zhu into his arms, and said, "Little liar."

Chen Zhu sniffed the sandalwood scent on Li Jue, sighed contentedly, and closed her eyes comfortably.

"A Jue." Shen Zhu called his name.

"Yes." Li Jue responded lightly, indicating that he was listening.

Shen Zhu asked: "When you worshiped the Buddha lamp just now, what wish did you make?"

"Want to know?"

Shen Zhu nodded, and then felt a piece of paper stuffed into his hand.

The note still smelled of lamp oil and sandalwood.

It says:

May you be prosperous and healthy,

I wish you well.
