The Paranoid Prince is pretending to be pitiful again [Transmigration Book]

Xie Shijue noticed it almost instantly, turned his head and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Duan Xingyu saw his father and the eldest lady sitting at the banquet set up for the courtiers from a distance.

"I...I want to go to my father's place."

Xie Shijue paused, walked closer to him, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Wang and Uncle are here, why don't you go over?"

Sensing that more and more eyes were focused on the two of them, and even began to whisper, Duan Xingyu subconsciously distanced himself from him, "...I don't want to."

Xie Shijue looked at him, lowered his eyes, "Okay."

Duan Xingyu didn't dare to look at the people around him, and before he even had time to raise his hand to say hello to Qin Qilan, he turned around.

"Yu'er."

The people behind him called to stop him.

Duan Xingyu stopped and looked at Xie Shijue.

He smiled and shook his head again, "It's okay. Go."

Duan Xingyu couldn't figure it out, and sat next to his father.

The palace banquet was very boring, Duan Xingyu watched a few singing and dancing performances without interest, and soon began to feel drowsy.

Until his dad patted him on the back.

"But you're sleepy? Don't you feel bored? Wait a little longer, and you can go out for a walk after the sealing is over."

seal?

Duan Xingyu followed Duan Hou's eyes and looked at Gaotai. It was obvious that the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were wearing red robes with a New Year's atmosphere, but Duan Xingyu only had Xie Shijue in his eyes. He thought, if it was in ancient times, this person It should be no worse than Pan An.

The emperor was in a good mood, "Your brother wants me to reward him with a BMW that he paid tribute to in southern Xinjiang. How about you? What do you want?"

Xie Shijue was silent for a moment, then knelt down, "My son's request... There is no conclusion at this moment, my son is bold... begging to save this grace for the future, when the time comes, I only hope that the father can fulfill his son."

The emperor didn't seem to expect that he would make such a request, "Since you have something to ask, why not say it now, and the emperor will fulfill you."

Xie Shijue shook his head and smiled wryly, "My son wants to fight for himself."

Duan Xingyu couldn't hear their conversation, only saw that Xie Shijue didn't kneel for a long time, got up and turned to look at him.

The people on the stage stared at him tenderly through the crowd.

Eunuch Gao, who was beside the emperor, shouted for the second time: "Please Duan Xingyu, the second son of Marquis Duan, come up to the front."

Duan Xingyu woke up like a dream, grabbed his sleeves, and hurriedly stood up.His face was as calm as water, but he was actually flustered in his heart.It was the first time to face the saint, he was nervous...

He forced himself to calm down, stepped up the steps step by step, and when he knelt down to salute, his arched hands trembled slightly.

"Xingyu sees the emperor, may the emperor's dragon body be in good health, may the empress be in good health, may the world be peaceful, and the people have no worries."

Duan Xingyu didn't dare to raise his head, only heard a majestic voice above his head, "Then how do you think the common people can be free from worries?"

Everything was silent, the palace music had stopped, and everyone at the banquet was paying attention to the movement on the stage.

Duan Xingyu did not answer for a long time.

The emperor said again, "A man, why don't you dare to raise your head?"

Duan Xingyu raised his head reflexively, but before he could speak, a person knelt down beside him.

Xie Shijue's face was serious, "Father, it's the first time Xingyu saw Tianyan, maybe he was too nervous, please Father..."

"Okay." The emperor looked at Xie Shijue with an elusive expression, "I just asked him a question, why are you so nervous?"

He looked at Duan Xingyu again, "You can say whatever you think in your heart."

"Father..."

Duan Xingyu looked at the emperor, and took a deep breath, "Xingyu is just a child, if he says something wrong, he won't make a fool of himself, the emperor will just take it as a joke."

The emperor looked at him with great interest, "Yes."

"Since the emperor said so, then Xingyu can speak freely. Under the rule of the monarch, if you want the people to be safe, you have to rely on the protection of the monarch in the final analysis. Naturally, the monarch is busy with state affairs, and most of the time it is impossible to go into details. The burden falls on the officials. However, how much do the officials really think about the people?" Duan Xingyu paused.

"The way to select officials, the first is ability. The official selection system in this dynasty is outdated. I believe it has been proposed before." Duan Xingyu stopped.

"Second, an official needs to be honest, not to bend the law for personal gain, not to persecute the people, and all the appropriations of the court can be truly implemented, so that the people can have no worries."

Hearing this, some people in the audience were already restless, and the emperor's expression became a bit serious, "Bringing the law for personal gain? Persecuting the people? But does it mean something?"

Duan Xingyu hesitated for a while, and finally said, "The Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road."

"Okay. Okay." The emperor was quite moved, and he was not stingy in admiring, "You are young, but you have some insights. I heard that your strategy is good. Today, I just want to chat with you. You can write it later. Present it to me."

"Yes."

"It's freezing cold, and the child's knees will hurt when kneeling." The queen on the side reminded the emperor.

"I am happy today, but I am confused. Hurry up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, empress."

"Thank you, Father and Empress."

The queen looked at Duan Xingyu, full of love, "I heard that you taught Shi Jue calligraphy, but I don't know how the results are?"

As a result... the corners of Duan Xingyu's mouth twitched slightly, and the man's writing could not be counted at all.

"You can tell at a glance. Come here." Just as the emperor finished speaking, the court ladies and eunuchs had already brought up the four treasures of the study.

Duan Xingyu's palms were sweating, and he didn't look good when he saw Xie Shijue.

I took up the pen.

Start writing.

Duan Xingyu closed his eyes and waited for the emperor to punish him.

Unexpectedly—

"Well, there is progress. Reward."

Duan Xingyu was rewarded out of nowhere. He looked at the words Xie Shijue had just finished writing, and his eyes widened.

Thin golden body, not only stands well, but also looks good, but it can be said that it has nothing to do with what he taught.

He realized something, went down blankly, and returned to his father without waiting for Xie Shijue to speak to him.

Is he playing tricks?

He couldn't hear all the process of the banquet that followed. He was angry at first, but then he became more and more angry as he thought about it.

I also blame myself for being stupid, he is a prince, how could he never learn calligraphy?It's nothing more than teasing myself for fun.

He found an excuse and slipped out to breathe in the imperial garden. The more lively the banquet was, the more silent it was.

Except for the maids and eunuchs who participated in the palace banquet, everyone stayed in their own palace to celebrate the new year. The imperial garden was empty at the moment, and it was a little dark, only the moonlight above the head brought a little light.

"Yu'er..." Xie Shijue's voice came from behind, a little eager.

Duan Xingyu didn't want to talk to anyone, so he quickened his pace and went around behind the rockery.

"Yu'er, listen to my explanation." Xie Shijue followed quickly, and the two of them played hide-and-seek tirelessly in the dark night.

"Who's there?"

Hearing the sound, Duan Xingyu stopped and hid behind the rockery.The people behind have already caught up.Xie Shijue was about to go out, but was stopped by someone.

Duan Xingyu held his breath, he didn't know what kind of psychology he had, but his hand was already one step ahead of his brain to hold him back.

Xie Shijue also calmed down, leaned very close to him, and surrounded him with his hands on the rockery.

The voice from outside was closer, "Who is there?"

Another maid's voice came, "Oh, it's the New Year's Eve, maybe it's not easy to get a chance to get close, it's not easy for everyone, don't worry about it, the imperial concubine is still waiting for us, let's go."

The two "understanding" maids walked away, but Duan Xingyu still held his heart, because the person in front of him was very close to him.He reached out and pressed Xie Shijue's abdomen, "Get up."

Xie Shijue's eyes were very bright in the dark night, "I finally took a chance to get close to you."

He drank the wine, and his breath was full of intoxicating fragrance, "Listen to me explain?"

Duan Xingyu frowned, and tilted his head slightly to avoid his scorching breath, "There's no need to explain."

"Yu'er~" Xie Shijue leaned closer, barely touching the tip of his nose, "Listen, okay?"

The strong sense of oppression mixed with the ambiguous atmosphere made it impossible for him to retreat.He forced himself to remain as calm as possible, wanting to hear what reasonable explanation he could give, "Okay."

"I know calligraphy, and my father even praised me."

"and then?"

"But I can't help it." He sighed, "You don't want to get close to me. I have no experience, I'm stupid, so I can only ask Uncle Wang to help me find a way. You teach me to write and hold my hand. Very happy."

Such an explanation did not convince Duan Xingyu, he was so angry that he couldn't hear what he said "inexperienced".

Duan Xingyu had a cold face, "Is it fun to play tricks?"

"I'm not kidding you." Xie Shijue was a little anxious.

Finally seeing him let go, Duan Xingyu pushed him away at once, and before walking out of the rockery, he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

Both senses and psychology were greatly shocked, he turned around quickly, covered Xie Shijue's mouth, and shook his head slightly.

Xie Shijue passed him and clearly saw the embracing figure behind another rockery.

Under the moonlight, the superior figures of those two people were clearly visible at a glance, Duan Xingyu and Xie Shijue both recognized them, so it turned out that they were not the only ones who came out to breathe.

Xie Jinyun and Qin Qilan kissed unscrupulously under the moonlight, half of their bodies were hidden behind the rockery, secretive and passionate.

When being dragged away by someone, Duan Xingyu felt his face was hot, and his palms were also hot. Under the double squeeze of guilt and curiosity, his heart beat violently.

After walking for a long time, they finally stopped. The breeze blowing from the lake dissipated some of the heat. The next second, Duan Xingyu fell into a hot embrace.

Xie Shijue pressed his hand on his back, "Don't move, let me hug you."
