king and his guard

Xue Ai said: "Back when Qian'er saved you and me in danger, I swore that one day I would take her back to the royal city. Now, it's about time."

Wu Shuang smiled and said, "Xiao Ai, you really are a true gentleman who values ​​love and righteousness."

Xue Ai smiled and said: "When I ascend the throne, I will send someone to pick her up."

He stroked Wu Shuang's shoulder, then walked to the desk and continued to draw up the imperial edict.

Wu Shuang also followed, seeing that he was sitting there thinking seriously, she stood beside him, and took the inkstone to grind ink for him slowly.

From time to time, he glanced at his handsome side face, and it happened that he was also turning his head. Their eyes met and they both smiled knowingly.

In the days that followed, Xue Ai was busy with dismissal, promotion and recall of officials, not only investigated An Yujing and his cronies, but also shut down the construction projects of Yuhua Palace and Yaoyue Building.

Secondly, Zuo Xiang Jiang Wu and other dissidents who were dismissed by An Yujing were recalled; and a group of generals such as Ling E, He Xiaobao, Su Man, and Yue Kai were rewarded for their merits; Qifeng was a pioneer general and built a mausoleum.

Lin Fengying is a person from the Jianghu, and this time he came to help the battle for the morals of the Jianghu. Therefore, he declined the promotion and Xue Ai as a token of gratitude, and rewarded him with a thousand hectares of land, ten thousand taels of gold and silk, and a hundred pearls.

After everything was handled properly, someone was sent to take Qian'er back to the palace.The day when Xi'er returned to the palace was exactly the day when Xue Ai ascended the throne.

The enthronement ceremony of the new king was extremely grand.The whole country celebrates together, singing and dancing to promote peace and prosperity.

The weather today was particularly warm, with clear skies and bright sunshine.What is even more surprising is that the winter jasmine flowers that had already bloomed all over the city once again overnight, creating a thriving and golden scene.

Xue Ai was dressed in a black dragon robe embroidered with gold thread and brocade, and she was wearing a nine-dragon crown. Excessive levies of miscellaneous taxes and other new policies to benefit the people were proclaimed to the world, and the reign name was changed to Longlin, and the world called it Dragon Emperor.

The enthronement ceremony of the Dragon Emperor Xueai lasted until nightfall before it was successfully concluded.

Xue Ai, who had been busy all day, was still full of energy. After returning to the bedroom, she retreated from the crowd of palace servants who were hugging her. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Qian'er hastily greeted her, and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my maidservant!"

Xue Ai smiled and said, "Qian'er, hurry up and get rid of the courtesy!"

But Xi'er refused to get up, she looked at Xue Ai with tears in her eyes and said: "This servant is so happy, this servant always looks forward to returning to the royal city, and to return to His Majesty's side!"

Xue Ai recalled the past, filled with emotions for a moment, stretched out her hand and ordered her to stand up, and said: "From now on, you should stay in Guangyuan Palace."

Xi'er wept again with joy, knelt down and thanked Long En again, and then helped Xue Ai take off her clothes to take a bath, as carefully and skillfully as before.

A court lady had already laid out the bedding and brought a nightgown.Xue Ai suddenly asked: "Why don't you see Wu Shuang?"

Xi'er said, "He's dealing with some trivial matters in the hall."

Xue Ai said: "You also retreat, I don't need to keep anyone here in the future."

Xi'er and all the maids bowed and retreated, Xue Ai was wearing a loose nightgown, wandering alone on the carpet, the pure white fine silk fabric was dragging back and forth on the bright red carpet, looking restless.

A few weak drumming sounds came from a distance, and he lay down on the big bed feeling bored, feeling lost in his heart.

Suddenly hearing a slight knock on the door, Wu Shuang asked outside the door: "Your Majesty, can I come in?"

Xue Aiteng sat up and shouted: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly!"

With a squeak, Wu Shuang pushed the door and walked in, Xue Ai pretended to be angry and said, "Why did it take so long?"

While taking off his robe, Wu Shuang said: "I want to ask you, I'm still up so late, don't forget to go to bed tomorrow morning."

Xue Ai lay on her back and sighed: "If you're not here, I can't sleep. I've been with you for so long, I've already gotten used to it."

Wu Shuang said: "I came here once just now, there are so many palace people around you, and besides, Qian'er is here, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for me to come."

Xue Ai said: "I have already told them, I don't need to keep anyone here from now on, you can just come and go as you please."

But Wu Shuang said worriedly: "Some gossip about you and me has started to spread in the palace again. Although the prince has not known it yet, it is hard to guarantee that it will reach his ears one day. The only thing I am worried about is that I will lose money because of me. your reputation."

Xue Ai held his hand tightly, and said seriously: "Our relationship has already been deeply rooted and indestructible, so how can it be shaken by those rumors! Besides, I don't care about reputation, I care about you!"

Wu Shuang's heart trembled, and just this sentence "I care about you!" made him no longer worried, hugged Xue Ai tightly, and cried out with tears: "Xiao Ai..."

Xue Ai patted his back lightly, and said softly: "It's getting late, let's go to bed quickly, tomorrow morning, you stay with me."

"Okay." Wu Shuang responded softly, smiled at Xue Ai, and then undressed and went to bed.

Xue Ai was worried about going to court, and got up early the next day before dawn.Looking back, seeing Wu Shuang still asleep, Xue Ai couldn't bear to wake him up, so she lightly put on a piece of clothes and went outside to wash. Just after going out, Qian'er and other court ladies were waiting at the door. Seeing Xue Ai coming out, she hurried over to serve her.

Xue Ai was finishing grooming, Wu Shuang just got up, dressed neatly and walked out of the palace, a maid came to help him wash, Wu Shuang felt very uncomfortable, washed his face in a hurry, and did not forget to thank the maid, On the contrary, the court lady hid her mouth and smiled.

After eating breakfast, he went to court with Xue Ai, and originally said he would accompany him, but when he saw the civil and military officials gathered outside the gate of the court hall, Wu Shuang hesitated again, stopped and said: " Xiao Ai, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to accompany you to court."

Xue Ai said: "Didn't you say it last night? Now you have to change your mind!"

Wu Shuang frowned and said, "I'm just afraid of those people..."

Xue Ai interrupted and said: "Why are you and I afraid of being upright? Besides, you are my personal bodyguard, so naturally you will be inseparable from me!"

While talking, he turned around and walked away, Wu Shuang didn't dare to disobey his order, so he had to follow closely, and walked to the main hall, where Xue Ai took a seat on the dragon chair, and ordered Wu Shuang to stand beside him.
