After Lou Yue stayed at home for a few days, the greetings from the palace came down. First, the eunuch next to the emperor brought the little emperor's copybook and gave it to Lou Yue, asking him to appreciate it, saying that it was written when he was thinking of him.

The eunuch held the copybook aloft, saying inside and out that the emperor missed him so much in the palace, asking him not to forget the little emperor in the palace, and asking him to remember the emperor's kindness in a few words.

Dudu Lou knelt down beside him, thanking him.

When it was Lou Yue's turn, the eunuch raised his eyebrows and showed a warm smile: "Young Master Lou will be excused, the Holy Majesty specifically said that you will be exempted from the son's ceremony." He handed the copybook to Lou Yue, and said: "Why? I haven't seen Mrs. Xiao Guo, I don't know my body..."

Lou Dudu looked sad: "My mother is getting old, and this time the illness is particularly severe."

But the eunuch showed a sneer on his face: "Since it is so serious, why didn't the governor invite an imperial doctor? This is the governor's unfilial piety. As the governor, would the sage not allow it?"

Lou Dudu shook his head and said: "Heart disease is difficult to heal, and my mother's stubborn character... It's hard to say!" After he sighed, he said to the eunuch: "I thank you for your kindness. Take care."

The eunuch stared at Dudu Lou for a long time, and finally said: "...It seems that there is still trouble! It's just that the queen mother decreed, the regent is in charge, and the three companions specially selected for the sage! Now Mr. Lou Not long after entering the palace, leaving His Majesty alone in the palace...isn't that good?"

"...Aren't there two other ones?" Lou Dudu asked suspiciously, and the eunuch's face immediately changed: "You!"

Lou Dudu hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Don't be angry, father-in-law. Alas, I'm a clumsy man. I'm a warrior who doesn't know how to speak... It's because my son is not blessed! I will plead guilty to the queen mother at that time, and I will also go to the regent's side." explain."

The eunuch flung his sleeves away, and Lou Dudu chased him to the door: "Eunuch! Eunuch! Don't be angry, I said the wrong thing! I really didn't mean that..."

The more he talked, the more anxious the eunuch left. After he was sent to the sedan chair, Lou Dudu stopped talking and turned to look at Lou Yue who was looking at him. His eyes fell on Lou Yue's hand. On the copybook, he hummed: "...put it away."

As he said, he was going to go by mistake, but in the middle of the journey, he stopped, turned around and said, "Yue'er, you have dealt with that little emperor and got his favor. If you want to tell me, do you think he What kind of person is it?"

Lou Yue folded the copybook casually, then raised his head and said: "People who are far inferior to me."

Lou Dudu's face darkened, and the pressure of being the governor was released towards Lou Yue: "Do you know what you are talking about, that is the emperor!"

Not only was Lou Yue not afraid, but on the contrary, his brows and eyes were more vigorous, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "So what?"

Lou Dudu was silent for a while, and suddenly turned angry into joy: "Okay! Good, good!" He said a few good words, and left laughing with his hands behind his back.

He Lianfang turned around in the study, and finally waited for the eunuch who came and went to pass on the message, and asked repeatedly: "What's the matter? Did Lou Yue say anything to me?"

The eunuch whispered to He Lianfang: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Young Master Lou will not be able to enter the palace to accompany you again."

Helianfang's expression changed upon hearing this: "How could it be!"

The eunuch embellished what he had said to test Lou Dudu, saying how slippery Lou Dudu was, and how rude Mrs. Xiao Guo was, and he didn't pay attention to the emperor at all.

He Lianfang became more and more angry when he heard it, and directly lifted the whole desk. The eunuch only described Lou's mansion as a magic cave. Can't call the shots...

He Lianfang's face darkened as he listened, and said in a sharp voice: "Didn't you pretend to be sick! Then I will make her really sick!" Then he said to the eunuch: "Go, I am going to see my mother!"

Once Mrs. Xiao Guo's worries were gone, her complexion improved day by day, and within a few days, she was no different from usual.

Just when Governor Lou came back from the Yamen, Mrs. Xiao Guo urged him when to plead guilty to the Queen Mother, pushing Lou Yue away as a companion.

Lou Dudu's expression was off, but he was worried about another matter. He frowned and said, "No hurry." Then he looked at Mrs. Xiao Guo: "Mother, you are still sick..."

Mrs. Xiao Guo said: "I still don't know. If you want you to teach me, why are you frowning today? Something about the yamen?"

Lou Dudu stopped his chopsticks, then put them down, and said to Mrs. Xiao Guo with some hesitation: "Mother, I went to court today, and King Xian sent a Taoist priest to the Queen Mother... The Queen Mother... is very happy."

Mrs. Xiao Guo squinted her eyes: "Look at your hesitant appearance, you are just a Taoist priest, and you are just practicing a few pills to make people happy! What can you do?"

Dudu Lou sighed: "If it was an old Taoist priest, I wouldn't worry about it, but no... Mother, you have seen the Tanhualang Liu Fangshi in the eighth year of the Southern Qing Dynasty, who was later relegated to go home Liu Shuling, what do you think of his appearance when patrolling the streets almost caused traffic jams?"

Mrs. Xiao Guo laughed: "You said that Liu Pan'an, who missed his life at first sight, is really good-looking. He was relegated at that time, it seems that it was because of the flower and willow incident. I heard that some girls fought for him. You almost killed someone, why are you suddenly talking about someone's appearance?"

Lou Dudu said helplessly: "The Taoist priest recommended by the virtuous king to the queen mother today is even better than Liu Pan'an!" He remembered the scene in the court hall, and he really lost his appetite: "I only listen to those sour scholars all day long. He boasted of being flamboyant, but today I found out that there are really people who can look like..." He said to Mrs. Xiao Guo: "Mother, I'm not exaggerating, at least half of the people in the court were attracted by this person's appearance. "

Mrs. Xiao Guo laughed loudly: "Look at your deviousness, you just said that the virtuous king gave the queen mother a male favorite, so it's all right!"

Lou Dudu: "Mother, can you still laugh? The Queen Mother openly accepts this Taoist priest, if, if!"

Mrs. Xiao Guo: "Look at your dead father's appearance. It's not like you're wearing a cuckold. Why are you so anxious? The virtuous king was originally an idler. Now that the queen mother is in power, he will send some novelty to please people." What's the matter, isn't he a Taoist?"

She stretched out her chopsticks and stuffed two large pieces of fat meat into Lou Dudu's bowl: "Eat! If you lose your appetite in the future, will you be hungry every day?"

Mrs. Xiao Guo held the chopsticks and sighed: "But this queen mother is also someone who will enjoy... how beautiful it is, I really want to meet..."

Dudu Lou: "Mother!"

"Don't talk, don't talk, really, eat and eat!" Mrs. Xiao Guo clicked her tongue and urged him to settle the matter of Lou Yue quickly.

Dudu Lou is a little disheartened about the current court. Before he sent Lou Yue to the palace, he might not have let Lou Yue get closer to the little emperor. It was not until what happened later that he began to calm down. , I feel that getting too close to the little emperor at this moment is not a good thing, but it will become a bad thing. Thinking about it at this time, only the nephew of the third-rank official who was sent to the palace at that time can understand the majority of people in the court. idea.

Mrs. Xiao Guo said that he was being stupid in a hurry, and she was indeed right. She had never seen so many ministers of higher rank than him in the court who were not in a hurry, so he sent his only son in in a hurry.

That boy Lou Yue is also very arrogant, he doesn't give the little emperor any face, thinking of Lou Yue's words "far inferior to him", he wants to laugh in his heart - but how bad the little emperor's character is, there is With such an identity, he couldn't even win over his youngest son.

It is not a blessing to have such a character and such an identity.

Now the Queen Mother is not only a little bit worried, but has begun to enjoy it—Loud Dudu couldn't help but sighed again in his heart: "Tomorrow, I will go to court tomorrow, and I will go to the Queen Mother..."

"Actually, the last time that kid Yueer did that, I wanted to ask him back, but the queen mother probably didn't let go because she saw that the little emperor was reluctant, but she didn't seem to be very happy with my kid being by the little emperor's side." After all, Who would like to watch their barbecued pork go around others.

Dudu Lou didn't think there was any hindrance to this matter, and the regent Helianxiao was the best at talking. Strange to say, if Helianxiao was pretending, now he is the legitimate regent. It is not false to say that he has great power , There should be no need to pretend anymore, but no matter whether he treats the top or the bottom, people can't find any faults. Not to mention the respect for the Queen Mother and the little emperor, he is also extremely courteous to the bottom.

It can only be said that maybe this is the nature of human beings... Otherwise, before the emperor left, he would not have given the court to him with confidence.

Not long after Lou Dudu went out early the next morning, the cars from the palace arrived, and the queen mother wanted to call Mrs. Xiao Guo into the palace to talk.

The maid beside the Empress Dowager smiled: "I know Mrs. Xiao Guo is not comfortable, so the Empress Dowager specially sent a sedan chair so that she won't be tired."

Lou Yue helped Mrs. Xiao Guo out, and the maid also said: "I know that Mr. Lou is the most filial, and he is worried about Mrs. Guo's health, even His Majesty has resigned, so let's get on the sedan chair together!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and several strong nuns pushed all the maids aside, as if they were going to drag Mrs. Xiao Guo onto the sedan chair.

Mrs. Xiao Guo patted Lou Yue's hand lightly, without any panic, and said softly, "I'm sorry."

She took Lou Yue out step by step, and said to the maids who were stopped by the mother: "What do you guys think of me like this? It is my honor to be summoned by the Queen Mother. Just wait at home with peace of mind." I will return."

Lou Yue straightened his shoulders, helped Mrs. Xiao Guo into the sedan chair without looking sideways, and passed by the maid without even looking at him.

The smile on the palace lady's face froze for a moment, and then raised again: "It's Mrs. Guo who knows the truth. The Queen Mother summons, and other people can enjoy the blessings that others can't enjoy!" He left Lou's mansion with a mighty force.

Seeing that the most important masters and masters were all taken away, the remaining maids and servants couldn't hide their panic. In the end, Uncle Wang sent a smarter servant to find Xiao Yi and ask him to pass the news to Dudu Lou. .

Mrs. Xiao Guo held Lou Yue's hand, seeing him with a cold face and not speaking, she asked warmly, "Are my grandson afraid?"

Lou Yue turned his head and shook his head at Mrs. Xiao Guo.

Mrs. Xiao Guo was relieved, and she pretended to be teasing: "I'm really not afraid, or I'm not afraid? It's okay, grandma is a little scared, and it's not shameful to be afraid."

Lou Yue still shook his head.

In turn, he comforted Mrs. Xiao Guo: "Grandma, don't be afraid." He held the back of Mrs. Xiao Guo's withered hand with his young but callused hand: "Grandson will protect you."

Mrs. Xiao Guo originally wanted to make the children happy, but was moved by Lou Yue's straight ball. She couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she was older, and her eyes almost turned red.

They were placed in the Empress Dowager's Compassionate Ning Palace, and several maids and eunuchs stared at them well. The Empress Dowager is still in court at the moment, and will come to meet them when she comes down.

Mrs. Xiao Guo sat with her back straight. She didn't take a sip of the tea at hand, but instead persuaded Lou Yue to eat something. Lou Yue shook his head, refused, and handed the food to Mrs. Xiao Guo, asking her to eat first.

Mrs. Xiao Guo's heart was sour and swollen. She felt sorry for Lou Yuezao who had lost her mother a long time ago. Dudu Lou is a stupid man with no heart, so she hugged the child by her side and raised it so that the child would not grow crooked if no one took care of it.

Louyue's three older sisters are not without wit, like Louyue's second sister, those sisters are the best at reading people's faces since they were young.

But no one is as distressing as Lou Yue.

In the beginning, Mrs. Xiao Guo didn't intend to be strict. After all, she was the only grandson. In this world, giving preferential treatment to men also made him carry a lot of burdens. Lou Yue was already a shield behind the three sisters at a young age. .

If he can't stand up, the older sisters will lose their parents, and they will be tortured a lot.

However, looking at this child who is so young, he is holding such a tall and heavy weapon. When everyone else is sleeping, he has already got up and practiced, learning so many things... I didn't hear him cry, his personality seems to be strong , but it is a strength that people can rely on. It is made to be strong for people's peace of mind.

As a human being, one will have feelings. Mrs. Xiao Guo did not spoil Lou Yue so much from the beginning, but got along day by day, watching the child grow up day by day. After growing into such a distressed character, I like it more and feel more worried.

It's not that Mrs. Xiao Guo is getting old and her heart has changed, but that Lou Yue's child makes Mrs. Xiao Guo unable to harden her heart.

At this moment, there was a little commotion at the door, and someone's voice sounded: "What are you doing?"

The voice of the maid at the door softened by at least three points: "Master, why are you here?"

"Come and take a look." The voice of that person didn't know why, but it sounded familiar, with the clarity and willfulness of a scholar: "Why? I can't come?"

"My lord, you are joking, you are not allowed to go anywhere here, but here are the guests summoned by the Queen Mother, in case they will run into you." The maid said softly, "My lord's precious body..."

"Farewell, I'm just a Taoist priest." The man laughed at himself, "Since there are other guests, I won't bother you."

Mrs. Xiao Guo raised her eyebrows at Lou Yue: "This is the Taoist priest who is said to be prettier than Liu Pan'an. Seriously, I really want to meet..."

Lou Yue was a little absent-minded, and he was stunned for a while before saying: "Then go and see."

Mrs. Xiao Guo thought he was joking, and jokingly said: "How can that be, that's from the Empress Dowager..." Before she finished her words, she saw that Lou Yue had already rushed out, and the guards, maids and eunuchs in the house were about to rush. Go up and stop.

But where are they Lou Yue's opponents? Lou Yue didn't even make a move, but just moved around a few times, and got out of the way of these people.

The person at the door heard the movement in the house, and couldn't help asking: "...What are you doing here?"

The maid, who was still looking at people in a daze, woke up immediately when she heard the words, and wanted to go in to have a look, but at this time, Lou Yue had already rushed out.

He stood in front of the man, his whole body seemed to be fixed on the ground, his eyes were firmly locked on the man's face.

Gui Bobo turned his head, and saw a somewhat familiar little man rushing out of the house, staring at him with wide eyes. He thought that the child had heard about him, and wanted to come to see him out of curiosity, so he gave it to him. Smile back.

The maid beside her changed color and said, "Master Lou! Why did you come out?"

Lou Yue kept his eyes on Gui Bobo, and his voice seemed to be icy: "...the queen mother summoned us, not to imprison us, why can't I come out?"

Gui Bobo didn't expect that the child would speak so much like an adult, and he didn't lose much momentum. At the same time, he also felt that the maid was making a big fuss, so he helped to speak: "It's nothing, don't attack him." He turned his head Said to the maid.

Lou Yue's body, like falling into the ice, warmed up slightly because of these words, and only now did he feel that he was still alive.

The person he had been looking for but couldn't find appeared at the moment he least expected.

He imagined countless scenes of meeting again—that person might be a scholar who came to catch the exam, or a relative who came to a foreign land, he might be in a corner of the capital, maybe drinking in a restaurant, maybe at a stall While strolling around, he would see the man turn his head to look at him, and asked him in a familiar tone: Did you bring the apology you said you would bring?

He will say, he took it.Then accuse him: But why didn't you wait for me?I have been looking for you for a long time.

Then the man would apologize to him, they would get together, have a jug of wine, and exchange names, and then he would know what he was called instead of what the man called him, and where he lived , you can even go to him often in the future...

Also pay attention to avoiding his father's men. After they successfully shake off the tail behind them, they will look at each other and smile, and then invite them to visit every corner of the capital together.

There can even be a place where no one will find out, a place that belongs only to them, where they can meet for a long time.

He thought so seriously, as if it had already happened before his eyes, so after waking up, he felt even more sad.

He didn't even know what this person's name was, where he lived, and how long he would stay in the capital. If he only came to the capital for a few days, where would he go to find him when Quannanxia was so big.

Maybe it will never be found again?

He even secretly studied the drawing skills, trying to draw the appearance of that person, so that if he really meets again after a long time, he won't miss it because he forgot the appearance of this person.

But at this moment, at this moment, the appearance in his mind is still so clear, without any fading. They also met again, but not in a certain corner of the capital, but in this man-eating palace. An identity he had never thought of, the identity of the empress dowager's male favorite, appeared before his eyes.

He even smiled at him without any grudges, and didn't remember him at all.

Lou Yue's hands hanging on both sides were clenched into fists, and his standing feet seemed to be nailed to the ground.

Until the man looked at him again, and snorted, "You look familiar?"
