The daily life of the retired devil

People in today's world tend to speak in a reserved way, and when it comes to serious matters in the notebooks, they are full of prose, profligate, exaggerated, not to mention flattery.

It wasn't until the new emperor ascended the throne that all these time-wasting articles about finding business from flattery were returned, and the number of words and regulations were stipulated. Then the ministers' style of conduct gradually broke away from exaggeration and became prudent and pragmatic. I dare not say any more words.

And since the Holy Majesty is impatient to read those gorgeous rhetoric, some courtiers who are easy to flatter naturally act in a more subtle manner, and the praise of the new emperor is all mentioned in a roundabout manner, which is not like now——

General, do you know what you're talking about?

You are arrogant because you are favored, relying on the emperor's reliance on you, flattering in front of everyone!

What "It would be great if I could meet His Majesty as soon as possible", what "I won't be separated for many years and never see His Majesty's face", what "Be sincere to Your Majesty, and the world can learn from it"... Such shameless flattery, They want to say it too!

Although the attitude of throwing the question to the emperor in the last sentence is too bold and offensive...but they really want to shoot the flattery in the front!

This is the psychological activity of some straight male courtiers.

And some courtiers who are no strangers to Fengyue matter, they don't feel right about this.

General, what did you say?

He said at the beginning that he wished to meet His Majesty as soon as possible, otherwise he would not have wasted many years and could not be with His Majesty, nor could he see His Majesty Longyan; Your Majesty puts all his heart and soul into it, and the whole world can learn from his intentions... Why do your words sound so like the self-confession of concubines in the backyard when they are fighting for favor?

General, are you doing this on purpose or do you really not understand? !

Some of the courtiers went bald for a while.

What made them even more curious was, how did the emperor respond?

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials nearby who heard Shen Cijing's speech turned their heads to look at the emperor on the dragon chair, carefully sized them up, trying to see the emperor's face at the moment through the crown, and try to figure out the emperor's true intentions.

They were anxiously waiting for the answer, because from the next correspondence under heaven, they would know that the emperor had great military exploits and the privilege of "entering the court without worshiping, not being famous, and going to the palace with a sword" in his heart. , whether it is really important, or has to be pampered.

But to their surprise, regarding Shen Cijing's blunt and almost offensive words, the emperor just put down his wine glass, pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "Shen Aiqing, do you know what you are talking about?"

Courtiers: Yes, yes, General, do you really know what you are talking about? !

Shen Cijing said frankly: "I know, I'm saying that I want to give up everything, and I just want to be with His Majesty forever."

Some straight male courtiers were still thinking that General Shen was working too hard to flatter him, what if the emperor took it seriously?

Others gasped, confirming Shen Cijing's intentions - it turned out that General Shen really meant it!He actually treated His Majesty...

What about His Majesty? !

Everyone looked at the emperor again.

On the first seat, the emperor's voice remained the same: "Have you thought about it?"

At this moment, everyone saw the majesty and majesty of the man on the dragon chair, but Shen Cijing saw his hands hidden in the dragon robe, and the faint redness on the face under the crown.

—He was shy.Because he is such a person who talks about "desire" frankly but is ashamed to mention "love".

His cruelty and cunning are real, as are his softness and awkwardness and shyness.

But the latter is the side reserved for Shen Cijing alone, and it is the sincerity that only Shen Cijing can discover.

So precious, so lovely.

Shen Cijing's heart became faster, and it was clear that he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, but a feeling of drunkenness could not help but surfaced in his heart, making him seem to be stepping on a cloud, making him feel as if he was going to be crushed by this heart. melt.

Shen Cijing couldn't help but took a step forward: "I have already thought about it."

Yes, Shen Cijing had already thought about it. When he discovered all kinds of clues in the correspondence, when the emperor used him repeatedly, he lay on the other side's bed and said that it was inconvenient to tell him his identity. When she fell asleep in front of him defenselessly, Shen Cijing had already noticed something.

So that night, Shen Cijing hinted to the other party, as long as you tell me, I will believe you.

But that person liked him too much, he couldn't tolerate any risk, and he was full of apprehension—just like now.

Since this lovely person is so disturbed, let him speak.

Shen Cijing felt unbearable emotions surging in his heart. He stepped forward again, looked straight at the person on the dragon chair, and said: "I am pleased with your majesty, and I want to be with you for a long time. I don't know if your majesty can allow this." delusional?"

At this moment, everyone lost their voices.

It is clear that the lower part is full of flowers, the music is melodious, and everyone is in harmony with each other, but the place at the top is dead silent, and everyone is frightened by Shen Cijing's straightforward confession.

Xie Feiyan's face burned hotly, and all the chaotic voices in his ears went away, only the pounding heartbeat became clearer.

He had thought for a long time that his identity might not be concealed for too long, but Shen Cijing was willing to follow his will and not go into it, so Xie Feiyan didn't think too much about it... But Xie Feiyan never expected that Shen Cijing would disappear so soon Discovered his identity, and even chose to confess in public at this time!

At this moment, Xie Feiyan was flustered and ashamed.

As a powerful emperor, Xie Feiyan naturally wouldn't be afraid of the eyes of his courtiers who worked for him, but the crux of the problem now was - he wasn't ready yet!

Aren't they still dawdling in their relationship?Aren't they still in the stage of preliminary testing and heart-to-heart communication?

Although they had indeed been together for many years in their previous life, they had only known each other for a short time in this life, so why did they suddenly jump to a marriage proposal?

How should he answer at this moment?

Xie Feiyan would be reluctant if he refused, but if he agreed, would it appear that they were progressing too fast?

Wouldn't it look less serious?Will it make people feel too frivolous?

So - what to do?

Xie Feiyan's head was in a mess, staring blankly at Shen Cijing's starry and smiling eyes, his thinking was also chaotic and lazy at this moment, and he froze.

However, this eerie dead silence did not last long.

Almost a few breaths later, Chen Guogong, who looked shrewd and old, brought his eldest son, Chen Jinrong, joyfully, and kowtowed to the emperor for his kindness, and expressed his desire to personally present a birthday gift to the emperor.

The originally weird and stagnant air was broken by this ignorant Chen Guogong. Everyone even the emperor on the dragon chair quietly breathed a sigh of relief, only Shen Cijing cast a dissatisfied look.

Chen Guogong: "???"

What's the expression of this hussar general?

Why does the bridegroom have a murderous expression when he is interrupted?

Chen Guogong thought that he didn't seem to have offended him!

Forget it, it's inconvenient to think too much about things now.

Chen Guogong soon stopped thinking about this small weirdness, and his mind was tense. He first kowtowed to the emperor and congratulated him, and then flattered him.

"Your Majesty, what I want to present is a potted flower that I got from Hu Shang by accident! This flower is delicate and difficult to domesticate, but at the same time it is as bright red as blood. Head! I present this flower now, hoping that His Majesty's good name will be spread all over the world like this flower!"

Xie Feiyan glanced at Chen Jinrong who was holding a tall square box, and then landed on Chen Guogong.

"Chen Guogong has a heart." Xie Feiyan played with the wine glass in his hand, and said calmly, "If that's the case, let's present it to have a look!"

As soon as Xie Feiyan finished speaking, Chen Guogong pushed his son before the palace servants around him stepped forward.

Chen Jinrong quickly lowered his head, and came to the Imperial Palace holding the box.

The palace people and the senior officials at the side met, although they felt that this seemed to be against the rules, but seeing that the emperor did not speak to stop them, they had no idea.

After all, this flower was inspected early on, and it was sent to Yuqian after it was confirmed that there was no problem. The person who presented the flower was from the mother family of Empress Chen. People are cousins!That being the case, what room do outsiders like them have to speak?

Thinking this way, the box was delivered to the emperor in full view.

Xie Feiyan looked down at the box, then at the sachet on Chen Jinrong's waist, and said calmly, "Open it."

Hearing this, the palace servants at the side hurried forward and carefully opened the box.

In the next second, the strange fragrance scattered.

In the flowerpot, a repaired rose stood upright quietly, with bright red petals blooming in full bloom. At the same time, a strange fragrance that did not belong to roses was rapidly spreading to the surroundings with majestic momentum.

Pfft!Pfft!

Chen Jinrong and Gong Ren who were closest to the flower fell to the ground immediately.

Immediately afterwards, the flowerpot fell, and the strange fragrance spread even faster.

The palace man in charge of inspecting the congratulatory gifts suddenly changed his face: "How is this possible——"

Before the words fell, he also fell down.

The high-ranking officials who were a little far away noticed something was wrong and got up and wanted to escape from their seats, but at this moment, they were shocked to find that their hands and feet were already weak, and all the strength in their bodies had been completely exhausted!

Everyone looked at the flowerpot at this moment, and looked at Chen Guogong.

But Chen Guogong didn't know when he stood far away from the flowerpot, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and his eye sockets covered with fine lines were shining fiercely.

"kill!"

Chen Guogong waved.

The next moment, there were killing sounds everywhere!
