His Majesty is my ex-boyfriend

Bai Lu was forced to move back to Chu Ya's bedroom again, lay on his bed for two days, and Chu Ya only allowed him to leave the White Deer Palace after his injuries were almost recovered.

During the two days of recuperating, although Chu Ya took good care of him and almost responded to every request, Bai Lu still left a little shadow. It was the first time he had tasted the harshness and terror of the palace rules.

Just as Chu Ya expected, Bai Lu temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​running away, partly because the beating really hurt, and partly because of Captain Geng he met that night - he didn't even have the White Deer Palace. He was arrested when he got out, how could he get out of the eight-fold gate of the palace and escape from Chu Ya's influence.

There is a saying that the whole world is the king's land, and Bai Lu doesn't want to go out and live the life of a wanted criminal hiding in Tibet.

But obviously Chu Ya didn't fully trust him yet. As soon as Bai Lu walked out of the gate of the White Deer Palace, a figure followed him silently behind him, not far or near, Bai Lu was fast and he was fast, Bai Lu stopped him He also stopped, and kept a distance of three meters from him, silently following.

Bai Lu stopped impatiently, turned back and asked, "I said, why are you following me all the time? Are there stalkers in this day and age? Brother, it's useless for you to follow me. Although I do look more delicate now, I'm really not Girl, how about I take it out and show it to you?"

The man was tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, with good facial features. He was wearing a black and gold-patterned narrow-sleeved bodyguard uniform, with a long saber hanging from his waist.He had a straight poker face, and his voice did not fluctuate, "This is His Majesty's order, and it has nothing to do with Mr. Lin's male or female."

Bai Lu couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "It's that bastard again!"

Poker face said: "Your Majesty said, you have a criminal record, you should watch carefully."

"As expected of the emperor, the surveillance is so upright..."

Bai Lu suddenly raised his head and took a closer look at the man's face, his expression slightly confused, "Why do I think you look familiar?"

Pokerface said briefly: "I met Mr. Lin once outside the gate of Qingya Hall in Xialingfeng."

Bai Lu suddenly realized, "You are the one who said I was disheveled, you are..."

He looked Ling Feng's clothes up and down, "Guards?"

"Imperial bodyguard." Ling Feng added rigorously.

Bai Lu expressed his understanding, "Understood, personal bodyguard."

He thought for a while, and while there was no one around, he quickly approached Ling Feng, raised his hand to half cover his mouth, and asked in a low voice, "How much do your imperial guards pay a month, can you disclose it?"

"...80 taels of silver."

"Eighty?!" Bai Lu turned pale with shock, stretched out ten fingers and quickly calculated, 80 taels of silver, 8 yuan a month, ten times that of a court lady!

Bai Lu swallowed, and '[-] a month', '[-] a month', '[-] a month' kept running through his mind.

That's right, even though he, Bai Lu, had been in love with the eldest son of a wealthy family surnamed Chu for three years, he was so worthless in terms of money, and even wanted to abandon his self-esteem and work for Chu Ya.

Bai Lu coughed lightly, and asked awkwardly, "Well, are you still recruiting guards? Ordinary ones are fine."

Ling Feng said: "I've never heard of the recruitment of guards, but it seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is short of a few..."

"Stop!" Bai Lu immediately cut off Ling Feng's words, and felt that the conversation was inexplicably familiar—could it be that being a eunuch was his destiny in this life?

Bai Lu only felt a chill on his back, and his lower body was cold.

While the two of them were talking, a patrolling team of ten or so guards came not far away, and the leader seemed to be Captain Geng from that night.

Captain Geng's name is Geng Qing. As the name suggests, he has a handsome appearance and a slender figure. He is one of the chief guards of the second-class guards in the palace, and he has thirty guards under him.People rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, wearing a dark blue bodyguard uniform, it is also a bit heroic and handsome.

When Geng Qing was recovering from Bailu's injuries, he came over to visit once. He bowed his head and apologized sincerely, and even brought a gift. He felt that he was one of the culprits. He was much better than Chu Ya, and Bailu and him also met because of this.

At this time, Geng Qing caught a glimpse of Bai Lu and Ling Feng from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly left the team, trotting over, he first bowed to worship Ling Feng, and greeted politely, "Hello, Master Ling."

Turning to Bai Lu again, "What a coincidence, why are you here? Just now, the prince went to the White Deer Palace to look for you, but he couldn't find you."

Bai Lu was puzzled, "Why did he ask me?"

Geng Qing explained: "The prince said that His Majesty issued an oral order to give you a name. Isn't your name Lin Xiaoan? Your Majesty doesn't seem to like it, so he wants to change you to Bai Lu."

"……Oh."

Bai Lu had no objection to this. Originally, others always called him Mr. Lin, but he couldn't react, so it was just right to change it.

But Geng Qing had a serious face, staring at him probingly with a pair of eyes.

Bai Lu felt terrified when he saw it, "What's wrong? Is this name bad?"

"It's not bad..." Geng Qing pretended to be mysterious and mysterious, "Do you know who Bai Lu is?"

Bai Luxin said it was me, but he still pretended to be dazed, and asked him, "Who is it?"

Geng Qing cautiously looked around, leaned close to Bai Lu's ear, and lowered his voice extremely low, "I heard a little bit about him, I heard that he was His Majesty's former sweetheart, but I don't know why he didn't stay by my side, I have been reading it for two years , It is said that the name of White Hart Palace was changed because of this person."

Bai Lu remained expressionless, "Oh, and then."

"Brother, you are stupid, you still don't understand why your majesty suddenly fell in love with you for no reason, and gave you the name Bai Lu. It's probably because you look a little like Bai Lu, and you are regarded as a substitute...!"

Before Geng Qing finished speaking, he was kicked on the knee by Ling Feng, screamed out, fell to the ground with a slap, and rolled down the long steps, rolling smoothly .

Ling Feng said coldly: "Your Majesty's matter, don't speak nonsense."

But his eyes subconsciously drifted towards Bai Lu, as if he was a little worried.

Only then did Geng Qing realize that he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly patted the dirt on his body, climbed up the steps, and said in a hurry: "What, I'm talking nonsense, we don't know each other if we don't fight, I'm definitely on your side, You must be much better than that Bai Lu."

Bai Lu: "..."

He didn't even know how to explain that the substitute was myself?

So he didn't explain at all, and acquiesced in his identity as a tragic stand-in, and he was beaten up in public two days ago. Isn't this the usual "love is for him, and suffering is for him" often seen in stand-in texts. My 'classic bridge section!

Bai Lu was very free and easy, "Forget it, just be a substitute. You can't run, you can't beat me. They can crush me to death with a single finger. What can I do as a low-level person? Let's just make do with it."

Geng Qing: "It's amazing, brother, it's really interesting to see, I'm afraid that one day when the legendary Bai Lu returns, His Majesty will take you..."

He raised his hand and made a 'knife' gesture, which was self-evident.

Geng Qing's worry is not unreasonable. Since ancient times, no real master has returned, and there is still a precedent for imitations. If some rewards are given and sent away secretly, it will be considered a good ending, but most of the cases will not be kept. live.

Bai Lu pondered with a solemn face, Geng Qing thought he was also worried, but Bai Lu thought for a moment, and said seriously: "No, I was thinking, I will be a substitute, will I be paid monthly money?"

Geng Qing: "???"

第14章暖二送一，包月打折更新：2021-05-0511:05:5144条吐槽

"Do you want monthly money?"

At the dinner table, Chu Ya asked this question abruptly.

Using chopsticks, Bai Lu picked up the most tender piece of steamed bass belly, stuffed it into his mouth, and raised his head to glance at Chu Ya.

Originally, I wanted to ask you how you knew, but after eating that piece of fish, Bai Lu already understood, and asked unhappily, "That guy named Ling Feng told you?"

Chu Ya nodded slightly, Bai Lu snorted coldly, and poked his chopsticks on the rice as if to vent his anger, "I knew he was sent by you to spy on me, so he made a small report to you so soon."

Chu Ya calmly explained: "It's to protect you, you are too reckless, I can't always watch by your side, but he can."

"Come on, I need someone to protect me, my muscles..."

Bai Lu raised his arm, and saw his slender and tender arm, the skin inside the wrist was so white that it glowed.

"Fuck, I forgot."

Bai Lu was extremely depressed, and picked up his chopsticks resentfully and continued to eat.

I have to say that the imperial meals in the palace are really delicious. On the one hand, the ingredients are fresh and high-grade. On the other hand, this dynasty does not have so many kinds of seasonings in modern times. The imperial chefs use their exquisite craftsmanship and various ingenious unique skills. Cooking the umami and aroma of the food itself, sometimes it is obviously a material, but it can make a different taste.

The only fly in the ointment is that there are too many people in the dining room.

There are a few maids standing here, a few eunuchs standing there, and a few guards standing at the door. The key point is that it’s okay for them to sit down and eat together. The problem is that if they don’t eat, they just stand straight. There, the eyebrows are low and the eyes are pleasing to the eye, and the hands are lowered in order.

It doesn’t matter if you are stared at while eating, what’s more important is that they are always ready to serve you. If you dropped a chopstick, you just bent down to pick it up. He picked up the chopsticks and quickly replaced them with new ones.

When you ate a chicken leg last second and wanted to find a place to throw a bone, the other side respectfully came over with both hands holding a bone plate, which made you embarrassed to throw it, but had to throw it, it was almost like Overseas employees who are overly enthusiastic.

Often after a meal, Bai Lu would be physically and mentally exhausted. It wasn't that he was eating, it was that the food was eating him.

Chu Ya got used to it quite well, after all, there were maids waiting beside the Chu family for dinner, and the scene was similar.

However, he could see Bai Lu's discomfort, and waved his hand thoughtfully, telling the maids and eunuchs to retreat outside the door, leaving only Wang Gonggong behind.

Bai Lu felt a little more comfortable, lifted up the hem of the clothes that got in the way, raised his left leg to rest on his right, rolled up his loose sleeves and continued to eat.

Chu Ya glanced at him, "Whether you sit or not, there are no rules."

Bai Lu twitched his lips, unwilling to agree, "I only need to feel comfortable when I eat, and I don't eat for others to watch. What do I want to sit on?"

The prince standing behind Chuya's chair couldn't help but want to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh because he was in front of His Majesty, so he could only hold the wooden handle of the dust whisk tightly with his fingers, trying to suppress the smile, but that old face Unavoidably trembling three times.

Chu Ya didn't bother to correct him anymore, it would be good if a person like Bai Lu didn't make a big disaster, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't keep these little rules in normal times.

Bai Lu said again: "Don't change the subject, did you mention monthly money just now, do you want to give it to me?"

With a smile in his eyes, Chu Ya asked indulgently, "How much do you want?"

"Um……"

Bai Lu couldn't help thinking.

Discussing the monthly salary level with your boss is a very serious matter. If you say it is too high, the negotiation will collapse.

For reference now, there are only 80 taels of silver for the maid, and 8000 taels of silver for the imperial guards. The span of [-] yuan to [-] yuan is too big, and it is really hard to quantify.

Although Bai Lu wanted to ask for more, but when he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have done nothing. He neither brought tea and water, swept the floor, cleaned the table, or did housework like a maid, nor did he patrol in line like a guard to defend the palace. .

In the past few days, besides wandering around in the vast palace, Bai Lu just quarreled with Chu Ya, or (forced) to warm the bed every now and then.

If you warm up 6000 times a month, and you get [-] for [-], count it as [-] times. If you are a man, it is probably not worth much. One time is [-] yuan, and the total is only [-] yuan.

Bai Lu cautiously stretched out his thumb and little finger, making a gesture of 'six', which means six taels of silver.

Chu Ya nodded, and casually raised his hand, Wang Gonggong immediately bent down, waiting for orders.

Chu Ya said lightly: "Give him 660 taels of silver every month, and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to record it."

The prince bowed: "This old slave understands."

Bai Lu: "?!!"

660 taels, 66 a month? !I used to play a game for only 800 yuan!

In an instant, Bai Lu felt that one-sixth of his resentment towards Chu Ya had been canceled out.

Chu Ya smiled, "It happens that tomorrow is the first day of junior high school, so you can go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to collect this month's money."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Bai Lu felt a little familiar—oh, is that the place that always says there is a shortage of eunuchs... It turns out that the monthly money of the palace people is also managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Bai Lu's resistance to this place disappeared instantly.

The next day, Bai Lu woke up early on purpose, and got up and got dressed together with Chu Ya.Chu Ya didn't ask the maid to come in to wait on him, but helped Bai Lu fasten the cumbersome belt and tied his hair. He kissed his face and told him softly, "Don't cause trouble, if someone bullies you, remember to tell me."

Bai Lu was speechless, "How old do you think I am?"

Taking into account the other party's self-esteem, Chu Ya didn't answer directly, but just smiled ambiguously, "Let's have breakfast first."

Leaving aside what he ate for breakfast, it was better than what he ate in the dungeon anyway. After the meal, Chu Ya went to the morning court, followed by a lot of people, guards and eunuchs, Bai Lu felt baffled. That's all, is it necessary to use such a big formation?

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the White Hart Palace, a black shadow jumped out from an unknown corner, and followed behind him soundlessly.

Bai Lu was taken aback, "What's wrong with you, why are you still elusive? I woke up so early today, and you can squat down on me?"

Ling Feng said with a blank face: "I've been waiting here since Mao, and I've been waiting for an hour and a quarter of an hour."

"??? Perverted stalker, you!"

Bai Lu really had nothing to do with him, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't scold him, he just put on a wooden face and said it was His Majesty's order.

Bai Lu had no choice but to ignore him, asked the passing eunuch for the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and happily went to collect his monthly money.

The decoration of the House of Internal Affairs is quite impressive. According to today's words, this place manages the logistics of the entire palace. As soon as Bai Lu stepped into this high threshold, a big eunuch who looked like a chief executive greeted him, "You are Young Master Bai, please come with me, what you want is ready."

He led Bai Lu into the back room. On the table was a small wooden box wrapped in gold. When he opened it, he found that it was full of stacks of silver ingots.

The silver ingots are of different sizes, the small one is like a finger, and the big one is like half an apple, with an oval official seal printed on the bottom.Bai Lu casually picked up two and weighed them. The small one weighed about one catty, and the big one weighed five catties?

It is estimated that for convenience, ten taels and 50 taels of silver were specially cast.

It is really strange to say that this dynasty is so strange. It is clear that the ancient calculation method in history is 16 taels equals one catty, but here is the decimal system, just like modern times, ten taels equals one catty, which is quite convenient for those who travel through time.

Bai Lu threw the silver back into the box, and beckoned to Ling Feng, "Help me take it back, I want to go..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a fierce female voice from next door: "Our concubine Mei is also a noble concubine, why is it 100 taels less than Concubine Wen?!"
